Chapter 418: Chu Zhiya’s Thoughts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As expected of the Temple of Eternal Peace. The hall where they ate their vegetarian meals was more spacious and grand than ordinary temples.

Yu Yunxi and Yu Ting had just crossed the threshold when a few palace maids walked over and bowed to Yu Yunxi.

“Eldest Princess, the Third Princess invites you over.”

Yu Yunxi looked up and saw Chu Zhiya standing not far away, smiling at her. On the contrary, her face was expressionless as she said, “No. I like peace and quiet.”

With that, Yu Yunxi walked away with Yu Ting.

Chu Zhiya’s eyes glinted coldly as she looked at Yu Yunxi.

‘Being suppressed is really annoying! I have to strip Yu Yunxi of her title as the

Eldest Princess…’

“Third Princess…’

Chu Zhiya turned to look and saw Ji Jianbai.

Ji Jianbai, who was dressed in his armor, looked a little nervous.

The hatred and disgust in Chu Zhiya’s gaze vanished immediately, and she returned to her usual noble and gentle appearance. She tilted her head slightly as she asked with a smile, “General Ji, you’ve worked hard escorting us to the

Temple of Eternal Peace.”

‘IN-no, it’s what I should do,” Ji Jianbai stuttered. He felt as though his heart was about to leap out when he heard Chu Zhiya’s words.

“I wonder why General Ji suddenly came to look for me?” Chu Zhiya continued to ask with a smile.

Ji Jianbai took a deep breath and mustered up his courage before he brought a hairpin out. He explained in a low voice, “T-third Princess, this fell from your head in the hunting ground previously. I-I found it and cleaned it up for you.

I’ll return it to you now.”

“General Ji, you actually found it. You’re so considerate,” Chu Zhiya said, looking pleasantly surprised and shy. However, when she lowered her head, there was only disgust and contempt in her eyes.

Chu Zhiya was the daughter of the Empress, the Third Princess of Xichu. She could have anything she wanted. She could have a hundred new hairpins at any time if she wanted. Since her hairpin had already fallen to the ground and had been touched by a lowly person, how could she still want it?

Chu Zhiya shot a look at the palace maid standing behind her.

The palace maid understood Chu Zhiya’s meaning immediately and quickly took the hairpin.

As for Chu Zhiya, she brought a handkerchief out and wiped her fingers forcefully. Her actions were hidden by the table so Ji Jianbai could not see them. He naturally thought that she was very happy.

“I remember this hairpin fell from the hill. General Ji, you…

“I returned to find it after the hunt ended. I wanted to… find it for you,” Ji Jianbai replied nervously.

“I appreciate your kindness, General Ji. Zhu’er, give General Ji some of the jade crisps I brought from the palace,” Chu Zhiya said to her head palace maid.

‘Jade crisps?’

Ji Jianbai looked shocked upon hearing Chu Zhiya’s words. He knew that the jade crisps were a tribute from a vassal country, and they were very rare. In the imperial palace, only the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor Emeritus, and the Empress had them.

“Third Princess…”

Chu Zhiya said with a smile, “Imperial Mother gave it to me. It’s delicious.

General Ji, try it.”

“I have a lowly status. How can I…”

Chu Zhiya interrupted him. “General Ji, don’t say such things. You’ve done so many things for me. You deserve it.”

Soon after, Zhu’er walked over with a food container. Ji Jianbai was still in a daze when he took the food container.

“Thank you, Third Princess.”

When Ji Jianbai finally left, Zhu’er could not help but say, “Third Princess, General Ji seems to have thoughts about you. Do you need me to find someone to deal with him?”

‘A martial artist actually dares to dream about the Third Princess. He’s simply seeking death!’

“There’s no hurry. He’s still somewhat useful. Besides, there are many people in the capital who admire me. Are you going to kill all of them?” Chu Zhiya said with a sneer.

Zhu’er quickly lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t think things through.”

“Let’s just wait and see. This boorish man might just become an excellent weapon in my hands in the future,” Chu Zhiya said arrogantly.

On the other side.

Yu Ting looked at Yu Yunxi with admiration again as she said, “Eldest Princess, you’re amazing. You actually ignored the Third Princess earlier.”

Yu Yunxi:

“What’s so amazing about that?”

‘This young girl’s admiration is too exaggerated, right?’

“The Third Princess is the Emperor’s most beloved princess. She’s also known as the number one beauty in the capital. Everyone favors her, and very few people dare to be rude to her. However, I think you’re much more beautiful than her!” Yu Ting said as she blinked her big sparkling eyes at Yu Yunxi. Yu Yunx could not help but laugh. “You don’t like her?”

“I, I guess. Everyone says that the Third Princess is talented and kind, but I don’t know why I feel like she’s a little strange…” Yu Ting said in a low voice.

In fact, Chu Zhiya’s performance could be considered perfect. There was almost no flaw at all. However, a person who was too perfect seemed unreal.

Perhaps this was also the reason Yu Ting preferred Yu Yunxi. In her opinion, Yu Yunxi was as beautiful as a fairy, but Yu Yunxi was easy-going and straightforward. Yu Yunxi was very clear about her likes and dislikes.

Yu Yunxi flicked Yu Ting’s forehead and reminded seriously, “Don’t say such things in front of others in the future, understand?”

“I know. I won’t tell anyone about this,” Yu Ting quickly said as she covered her forehead and nodded like a chick pecking grains.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

According to the plan, everyone would return to the capital after the vegetarian meal. After all, tomorrow was the day of the state banquet. They had to return and make preparations.

However, Yu Yunxi did not expect that there were still people who were restless even though they were about to return to the capital.

“Eldest Princess, we found your handkerchief on this monk so we brought him to you. He must have stolen your handkerchief.”

A few eunuchs escorted a monk to Yu Yunxi and kicked the monk’s leg, causing the monk to lose balance and fall to the ground.

Everyone was immediately attracted by the commotion.

Yu Yunxi looked at the monk.

‘Isn’t he the monk who sent the blanket last night and the kneeling mat earlier?’

At this time, the people in the surroundings began to whisper among themselves as their eyes darted back and forth between Yu Yunxi and the monk.

“A handkerchief is a woman’s private possession. How could it be in the hands of a monk?”

“Could the monk have stolen it? Or perhaps the Eldest Princess dropped it?”

“Nonsense. The Eldest Princess has so many maidservants and guards by her side.. How could anyone steal her handkerchief? It’s more believable to say that the Eldest Princess dropped it, and the monk picked it up…”
