Chapter 49 See you in a bit (1)
Li Youde?!
Chen Hui looked in astonishment at the other party and really couldn’t imagine how he could get involved with people like gentleman Huang. She still remembered that when she said that she had a family member working in the Department of Rites, he was scared away. It was obvious that he didn’t have an important background. How did such an ordinary person got connected with Li Youde?
Naturally, Chen Hui couldn’t think of a reason. She suddenly looked at Xiao Tiao and shook her head slightly. Xiao Tiao also understood Chen Hui’s meaning after coming out of being stunned. She nodded her head vigorously, shrank her head, and didn’t make a sound. Chen Hui looked out and raised an eyebrow at Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu was quick-witted after all. He grabbed Xiao Wu and walked aside. He obviously understood Chen Hui’s intention.
Only after that did Chen Hui look at Li Youde again. She hid behind Commandery Princess Shuning unconsciously. Commandery Princess Shuning referred to herself as ‘this Commandery Princess’ and didn’t say the word ‘Shuning’. No wonder Li Youde didn’t make the association and came out. Chen Hui still remembered that Li Youde once reminded her that Commandery Princess Shuning was not easy to provoke. Presumably, he also didn’t want to make an enemy out of Commandery Princess Shuning now, right?
Wait a minute, speaking of which, what Li Youde said just now…was he cursing himself? The family member she spoke about with gentleman Huang was him…Even if he didn’t know what entanglement was between her and gentleman Huan, wouldn’t he understand that she was talking about him when he saw her?
Chen Hui couldn’t help but want to laugh even in such an awkward situation. Scolding himself while scolding another, truly deserving. Let him be arrogant outside, see, the ship had been turned!
After laughing, Chen Hui became nervous again. She had just ‘refuted’ the rumor with Commandery Princess Shuning that she had a family member who is a eunuch. If Li Youde called out a ‘Lady Chen’…Her impression that Commandery Princess Shuning has about her would be over!
Chen Hui thought about it and poked her head out. She stared silently at Li Youde.
Gentleman Huang didn’t notice the sudden stiffness of Li Youde. He was very arrogant now that he has a backer. He wasn’t afraid of whatever Commandery Princess? Could she be more powerful than Lord Li, the favorite of the emperor?
“Little beauty, why don’t you speak anymore? Are you afraid? Haha, don’t be afraid. Come to the boat and give this brother an apolo…,” Halfway through his domineering words, gentleman Huang felt a pain on his butt. He fell forward and fell into the water with a thud.
Although gentleman Huang could swim, he swallowed a lot of water before he reacted after falling into the lake. He shouted at the boat, “Who, who kicked me?”
The rest of the people were silent at the moment and their eyes fell on Li Youde.
Li Youde sneered, “It’s me.” It was only now that he realized that it was this man surnamed Huang who had assailed Chen Hui that Xiao Liu told him about before. Assailing someone from his courtyard in front of him, did he (H) took him for dead?!
“Lo…Lord Li? What…what did this humble one do wrong?” The arrogance was immediately suppressed. Gentleman Huang looked bewildered at Li Youde on the boat.
Li Youde glanced once at the pavilion. The woman of his household was hiding like a thief behind the master of the group, only revealing a pair of eyes that peeked at him.
“This is Commandery Princess Shuning, the most favored daughter of Prince Qing of the first rank, how do you dare to be rude in front of her?” Li Youde said in a harsh tone and retracted his gaze.
Gentleman Huang was stupefied. He suddenly realized that the other party was also someone Lord Li has scruples about, and he was actually so presumptuous in front of the Commandery Princess, he really shouldn’t have! If Commandery Princess Shuning wanted to make life difficult for him, Lord Li would not be willing to protect him at all!
Gentleman Huang would fight against others for the sake of his face and would also not care about his face for his life. He moved up and down in the water and shouted, “Commandery Princess Shuning, it is this humble one who was blind as a bat and has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! You are a great and generous person. Just take this humble one’s words as farts!”
- Have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai: to fail to recognize someone important.
Commandery Princess Shuning sneered coldly, “Shut up!”
She didn’t take gentleman Huang seriously at all. She just looked provocatively at Li Youde and sneered, “I was just wondering why there was a strange smell. It turned out to be from someone of the Department of Rites…This Commandery Princess’s mood to admire the scenery is gone!”
Chen Hui looked at Li Youde. His eyes were gloomy but he didn’t vent because of Commandery Princess Shuning’s words. He only put on a fake smile and said, “It is our fault. We have disturbed Commandery Princess. We will leave now.”
He swept over the others, “Are you still not pulling up that thing who is unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything?”
Only then did the rest of the people react and hurriedly pulled gentleman Huang onto the boat.
Chen Hui has hardly seen what Li Youde looked like when facing someone of a higher status than him. Now half of her dream could be considered fulfilled…Almost the same as her, only dare to get angry but doesn’t dare to speak up, haha!
Chen Hui felt that it was extremely worth it to bring this master, hitting two birds with one stone. Now, she was a little expectant to see how timid Li Youde is in front of the emperor. He was very adept at flattering those above him and taking advantage of those below him.
Chen Hui’s tight nerves also relaxed when she saw that Li Youde didn’t expose her. It seemed that he didn’t want others to know that he scolded himself!
Commandery Princess Shuning looked at Li Youde with a look of disgust. She pulled Chen Hui back to the stone table; what remains unseen is deemed to be clean. But after thinking about it, she was still angry, “Really don’t know why there are things like eunuchs. Not a man nor a woman, so disgusting!”
- What remains unseen is deemed to be clean: what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.
Zheng Rongrong hasn’t been participating at all before. Now that she heard Commandery Princess Shuning’s anger, she poured a cup of tea for her and said. “Drink tea.”
Commandery Princess Shuning took the cup and drank all in one gulp, but she was still angry.
Chen Hui knew that she just had to smile at this time, but she also felt a bit uncomfortable when she heard Commandery Princess Shuning say that about Li Youde. She still said cautiously, “In fact, many of those eunuchs were sold into the palace by their families. Part of their body was cut off when they were young and ignorant. When they gradually grew up and understood what it meant, they would also probably be utterly in pain.”
Commandery Princess Shuning looked in shock at Chen Hui, “How do you know so much. Hey, not right, why do you speak up for those disgusting castrated things?! Each one of them is treacherous, crafty, sinister and malicious. You don’t know how many faithful officials and loyal generals had died on their hands.”
Chen Hui said, “Most of them are the lowest rung who are being bullied. How many could really reach the top? Besides, no matter how powerful they are, they are only the slaves of the emperor and a good dagger in the hands of the emperor…” Seeing that Commandery Princess Shuning’s eyes slowly widened, she knew that she had said too much and quickly stopped. She smiled shyly, “In fact, I also heard it from storytellers and also don’t know if it is right or not.”
