Quick Wear: White Lotus Strategy Diary

Chapter 323: Beautiful and Delicate Orphan Girl 2

"Okay, okay." Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she ate her meal with satisfaction.

After dinner, Concubine Shu ordered the nanny to take Situ Qian to a side hall to stay temporarily.

"Miss, you've been traveling so long. Please take a rest first," said the nanny.

Situ Qian nodded slightly.

"This is the palace maid Xiao Cui, a first-class palace maid serving the Empress. Now the Empress has assigned her to serve you." The nanny said respectfully.

"I'm Xiao Cui, your servant. Greetings, young lady." Xiao Cui stepped forward, lowered her head, and saluted respectfully.

"Okay, Miss, please take a rest. If there is anything, please ask Xiao Cui to inform this old servant." said the nanny.

Situ Qian nodded, and the nanny bowed and left.

"Miss, please take a rest. I'll be guarding outside the door. Just call me if you need anything." Xiao Cui said.

After getting Situ Qian's approval, Xiao Cui went out to guard the door.

The next morning, in the side hall, Xiao Cui couldn't help but be distracted when she saw Situ Qian sitting in front of the dressing table.

She is so beautiful, with fair skin and beautiful face, even more beautiful than the beautiful concubine in the harem.

"Miss, you are so beautiful..." Xiao Cui couldn't help but praise.

Situ Qian just smiled and said nothing.

In the end, Xiao Cui simply dressed up Situ Qian, as her face didn't give her any chance to show off her talent.

Unmarried women in Lan Country are not allowed to tie up all their hair.

So Situ Qian wore a light blue dress with wide sleeves and simply inserted a hairpin into her hair.

Situ Qian walked out of the side hall and went straight to the main hall where Concubine Shu was, while Xiao Cui followed closely beside him.

When the nanny saw Situ Qian coming, she looked a little embarrassed. "Miss..."

Situ Qian nodded slightly and called out obediently, "Mammy."

"Is Qian'er here? Come in." Concubine Shu called.

The nanny immediately led Situ Qian inside.

When I entered, I found a man sitting in the upper seat, wearing a yellow robe with a golden dragon embroidered on it.

Situ Qian saluted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. "I, Situ Qian, pay my respects to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Concubine Shu."

"..."

The man didn't speak for a long time, and Situ Qian still maintained the posture of saluting.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but remind her. "Your Majesty."

Gong Hao touched his beard awkwardly, he was stunned.

"Get up." Gong Hao's voice was majestic.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Concubine Shu also said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty." Situ Qian stood up.

"Please take a seat." Gong Hao's eyes seemed to be glued to Situ Qian, and he waved his hand to ask someone to bring a chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Situ Qian lowered his head and dared not say more.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but clench and unclench her fists, forcing a smile and saying, "Qian'er, you came at the right time. I can just let Nanny Chen take you to the Imperial College."

Situ Qian stood up, bent his legs and said, "I will follow your Majesty's arrangements."

Shufei's smile became more genuine, but when she noticed that Gong Hao's eyes were on Situ Qian, her smile faded a little.

"There's no need to be so anxious. You and your aunt can spend a few more days together." Gong Hao said.

Shufei's smile froze, and then returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, the child's future is important. My brother always wanted the child to study in the Imperial College."

"Now I have fulfilled the wish of my brother who died in vain." Concubine Shu said as she took out a handkerchief and pretended to cry.

"Don't cry, my beloved concubine. I have already ordered people to find out who those thieves are. I will not let your brother die unjustly." Gong Hao took Concubine Shu's hand, patted it and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu looked at Gong Hao with emotion.

Situ Qian kept his head down the whole time and sat quietly in the chair.

"Mother, mother." A male voice sounded.

Gong Hao returned to his serious look, sat up straight and looked at the door.

A young man in a purple robe ran in.

When the man saw Gong Hao, he stopped running and swallowed.

"Come here." Gong Hao said with regret.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor...and pays homage to My Mother..." The young man bowed with a bitter face.

"You kid, you skipped classes again!" Concubine Shu was so angry that she grabbed the boy's ear.

"Mother, please be gentle, be gentle! I was wrong!" The young man covered his ears and begged for mercy.

"I just heard that my cousin was coming and wanted to come and see her. Oh, mother, please forgive me." The young man cried and begged for mercy.

Concubine Shu glared at the young man, then turned to apologize to Gong Hao.

"Forget it, nothing happened, but there must not be a next time." Gong Hao waved his hand.

"I will definitely keep a close eye on Jun'er." said Concubine Shu.

"Hiss... This, this is my cousin...?" The boy saw Situ Qian beside him with his eyes wide open in shock.

Situ Qian stood up and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to the Third Prince. I am just a commoner, and I am not worthy of being called a cousin by the Third Prince."

The third prince Gong Chengjun was stunned.

"Jun'er!" Concubine Shu reminded.

Gong Chengjun seemed to have just woken up from a dream and looked at Situ Qian apologetically. "Of course my cousin can bear it."

"Your niece is so beautiful that even Jun'er is stunned by her." Gong Hao praised.

Concubine Shu couldn't laugh. "But despite her humble appearance, she still has her mind on the Imperial College."

"I am indeed a weak girl, unworthy of the emperor's praise." Situ Qian stood up in fear.

"Oh? So I just think you are as beautiful as a fairy." Gong Hao cast an aggressive gaze on Situ Qian.
