Chapter 695: The Empress Gets Bullied
“Alright, you still have a lot of things to do. Go back first, and be careful along the way.” Ling Chuxi knew that since Fu Huayi had just recently ascended the throne, she would definitely have a lot of work matters to deal with.
“Master, just let me stay a little longer.” A tinge of exhaustion appeared in Fu Huayi’s eyes, before they suddenly lit up. “Why don’t you continue to teach me how to use poison?”
“You are already an honored empress of a country, why do you need to learn that?” Ling Chuxi asked with a frown.
“Master, continue to teach me, alright? Even I am an empress, I still need to be able to protect myself,” Fu Huayi insisted, on the verge of begging.
Ling Chuxi saw the hope in Fu Huayi’s eyes and felt moved, vaguely understanding the situation. Fu Huayi’s disguise was not to cover up, she just did not wish to appear before her as an empress.
Since the days of old, the kings and emperors were very lonely, and Fu Huayi surely was having a taste of that. In the end, she was still a young maiden who had just matured and yet had to carry the heavy responsibility of the country’s joy and sorrow, as well as the safety and happiness of the millions of citizens of Nan Xia Country.
Everyone only saw her as the monarch of a country, her coldness when reshuffling the court, but who could see the loneliness behind all that?
Seeing Fu Huayi like this, Ling Chuxi felt touched and a baffling sense of compassion. Heartache and pity showed in her eyes, as if she was looking at her own younger sister.
“Says an esteemed fifth princess! Do you miss being abused that much?” Ling Chuxi scoffed in disdain like usual. Fu Huayi was momentarily stunned before delight appeared on her face. Hearing the words ‘fifth princess’ again actually gave her an incomprehensible sense of affection and joy.
“Master, you underestimate me. Over the past six months, my poison skills have improved quite a bit, so don’t think that you can bully me like you did in the past!” Fu Huayi put her hands on her waist as she said proudly.
“Really? Then what is going on with this pig head that I am looking at?” Ling Chuxi asked teasingly.
“What? Pig head?” Fu Huayi’s smile froze on her face. “Xia Zhuoyi, get me a mirror, quickly!”
“Help! Master, why did I swell up so big this time? I am about to burst! Help!” Immediately, the miserable wails of Fu Huayi rang out.
“Ah, there are also two pig hooves!” Following Ling Chuxi’s words, Fu Huayi’s hands that were holding the mirror also speedily swelled.
“Master, how can you bully people like this? Don’t you feel pity for me? I am about to die! This time, I’m going to die for sure...” Fu Huayi howled and clumsily took out her golden needles, piercing her hands first. Without treating her hands first, she wouldn’t dare use the needles on her face!
...
Hearing her miserable wails, the others who were outside the garden could not help but shake their heads. They originally thought that only Mo Kongyuan was unlucky, but it seemed like everyone who met this she-devil was unfortunate. Such a pitiful girl... She had only been here for a few hours and she was already being tortured so much.
They did not know that this pitiful girl was Her Majesty, the current empress of Nan Xia Country.
The familiar pitiful situation of the past was once again reenacted, but with an undeniably nostalgic warmth.
“Chuxi, come outside for a bit.” After Ling Chuxi and Fu Huayi had played around long enough, Su Yizhi stood outside the gate of the courtyard and called out to Ling Chuxi.
