Steward Lin smiled and shook his head, turning around to busy himself with his own tasks.
Li Yuyu sipped her tea, watched the stage below, and listened to the people dressed in opera costumes singing the lines of the play in their melodic language, finding it all quite fascinating.
"Miss."
The clear voice had a hint of an imperceptible choke.
Li Yuyu turned her head at the sound and saw a young girl about fifteen or sixteen standing nearby. Her hair was styled in a simple single bun, she wore a light green long dress, and her bright eyes were looking at her.
Truly beautiful.
Why were ancient girls all so lovely and charming?
Li Yuyu did not know who the person before her was, but she calmly took another sip of tea and then gave a slight "Mm" in acknowledgment.
"Since childhood, I knew that when Miss grew up, she would become a true beauty that could captivate cities and even countries, and indeed it is so."
The girl handed the script she was holding to Li Yuyu.
"Miss, this was brought by Uncle Lin, and I specifically took it to bring it to you," the girl said, her eyes showing a hint of concern. "Miss, did something happen to you? Why did you suddenly come to our park?"
"Could it be that the Emperor bullied you?!" The girl thought of this, straightened her expression, and said softly, "Miss, don’t be afraid. If you wish to leave here, we servants will make arrangements, allowing you to leave unnoticed."
Li Yuyu: ???
Little girl, what kind of scenario are you imagining?
"When Miss entered the palace, you clearly didn’t want to, but the orders were given by you. If you didn’t come to Qingle Park to find us servants, we could do nothing else but obey."
"For the past few years, Miss played the fool to hide her connection with Qingle Park, that was understandable, but why endure being bullied now? Even if we can’t support you, there is still Mr. Mu."
Li Yuyu lightly furrowed her elegant brows.
Who is Mr. Mu?
"Is Miss troubled by the argument with Mr. Mu from years ago?" The girl covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Even though Mr. Mu was angry and broke off with you, he still comes to the Capital City from time to time. Every visit, he wanders around the General Mansion, showing he can’t forget about you."
"Miss, take advice from me, the Imperial Palace is a devouring place. Since you don’t like the Emperor, there’s no need to trap yourself there."
"Although Mr. Mu is only a sworn brother to you, yet besides you, he never had any other women by his side. In contrast, the Emperor not only has a large harem but is even planning to bring in new people before the mourning period is over. It’s utterly unreliable!"
The girl’s delicate cheeks were marked with the words "discontent."
My lady deserves the best in the world, like the tales in the opera, a lifelong commitment to just one person.
But due to the Emperor’s status, that’s impossible.
Although Mr. Mu isn’t the best person in the world, he treats you well, as good as the young master does, and being with him would surely bring happiness.
The more the girl thought, the better it seemed. She silently decided to quickly send a message to Mr. Mu, urging him to come to the capital.
Jian Yi, hidden in the shadows, twitched the corners of his lips.
The fact that Li Xiurong is the master of Qingle Park was shocking enough, he just sent the message back and still didn’t know if the Emperor received it before hearing such words again.
Thinking of the consequences of relaying these words to the Emperor.
Jian Yi: ...
Um, better not think about it, perhaps the Emperor won’t ask!
