Chapter 82: How Shameless

Lin Qingyuans face went a few shades paler and she stammered distractedly, No, it cant be.

Even though Lu Liangwei sympathized with her somewhat, Lin Qingyuan was not a kind character.

For instance, Lin Qingyuans malevolent att.i.tude toward her during the Emperors birthday banquet rather limited the sympathy Lu Liangwei was willing to show her.

Just have a look around Drunk Fragrance Pavilion. Youll understand better. Lu Liangwei left her there after leaving these words filled with nothing but bad intentions.

As this was a Flower Admiring Banquet, the feast was naturally set up within the garden.

The garden of the Eastern Palace may not compare to the imperial garden, but the flower variety was still considered quite bountiful.

It was now the Spring season and the garden was filled with hundreds of blooming flowers fighting for the chance to s.h.i.+ne in dazzling beauty. It was too beautiful to take it all in at once.

When Lu Liangwei followed Hong Xiu into the garden, she saw many young n.o.ble ladies have arrived.

They were gathered at one spot as they discussed the breed and beauty of the flowers. It was quite a crowd.

Lu Yunshuang was surrounded in the middle by a group of people. She had a demure and dignified smile on her face that bore the air of a Crown Princess.

She spotted Lu Liangwei approaching from afar, and something flashed deep within her eyes.

She waited until Lu Liangwei was near before stepping away from the crowd surrounding her. She held Lu Liangweis hands affectionately.

Lil Sis, why did you arrive so late? I thought you wouldnt come.

Lu Liangwei pulled her hand away without skipping a beat. Big Sis had summoned me here, how could I refuse your invite?

With that, she gave a perfunctory curtsy toward Lu Yunshuang. Weiwei greets the Crown Princess!

Lu Yunshuang held her up with perfect timing. Lil Sis, youre not an outsider, theres no need for such formalities with me in the future.

Really? Lu Liangwei looked at her delightfully.

Lu Yunshuang was instantly stunned. It was nothing but polite words that she had uttered for the benefit of displaying it to others.

However, many people in attendance were watching. Even though she was slightly annoyed by this, she still nodded. Of course, really.

Big Sis is the best. So, I wont need to curtsy to Big Sis anymore when I see you in the future? Lu Liangwei looked at her with pure innocence.

Lu Yunshuang suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

If Lu Liangwei does not curtsy to her in the future when they meet, how could she show off her superior status?

Lil Sis must be so happy because of the Crown Prince, arent you? Dont worry, the Crown Prince will be here soon after he is done with the imperial court, Lu Yunshuang patted Lu Liangweis hand as she made a show of speaking in a hushed voice when in fact, it was loud enough to be heard by those standing at the side.

Those who were listening in intently felt even more condescending toward Lu Liangwei.

How could this Lu Liangwei still not have given up on the Crown Prince? How shameless!

Lu Liangwei looked at that pretty face of Lu Yunshuang and her lips curled upward. Im so happy that Big Sis exempted me from curtsying, but why would you organize this Flower Admiring Banquet at such a time?

Lu Yunshuang looked at her with some confusion. Why would Lil Sis say such words? Is there a reason I shouldnt be organizing this Flower Admiring Banquet?

Lu Liangwei sighed. Youre the Crown Princess now. By right, you can do anything that makes you happy. But seeing that Aunt Zheng is now in trouble, arent you even worried about her?

Lu Yunshuangs heart plummeted. Aunt Zheng is in trouble? What happened to her?

Lu Liangwei looked at her with some astonishment. Big Sis, dont you know?

Lu Yunshuang clenched hard at the handkerchief in her hand. Ive been in the Eastern Palace all this while. How could I be aware of the happenings in the Grand Duke Mansion?

Lu Liangwei continued sighing. Thats right. Youre now the esteemed Crown Princess. Why would you even bother with what happens in a minor place such as our Grand Duke Mansion?

Lu Yunshuangs expression almost fell. That was not what I meant

Aunt Zheng crossed the line with Father and was sent to the temple. Sigh, I really do hope Aunt Zheng would be able to meditate sincerely in the temple and come to her senses soon, Lu Liangweis quick reply interrupted Lu Yunshuangs words.
