Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 400: Chapter 398: Noble Lord, Empress_1
“A ten-year-old child, can they really go against the heavens?”

“Mm, Xinzi is right.”

The Empress’s gaze became momentarily distant, involuntarily following his thoughts as she spoke.

Noble Lord’s eyes were filled with a touch of triumphant smile.

“That child, Xinzi has also seen her, nothing special, just exceptionally beautiful, and also quite clever. It’s suitable for her to be a companion for Xuan’er.”

“Mm.”

The Empress involuntarily nodded her head.

“Your Majesty has agreed, you can’t go back on your word.”

Noble Lord withdrew his gaze, suddenly feeling a pain in his forehead, subconsciously rubbing his brow.

“Alright, I will listen to Xinzi and spare the girl’s life for now.”

The Empress snapped out of her daze, blinking in confusion, her mind momentarily muddled.

“Xinzi thanks Your Majesty on behalf of the Prince for your care.”

Noble Lord gently rubbed his brow, revealing a faint smile.

“The Prince is also my son, how could I not cherish and protect him?”

Empress came to her senses and gently held Noble Lord’s hand with a tender expression on her face.

The same cup of tea that once showed a fierce, murderous tyrant was now as if two different people.

“Xinzi’s life is hard.”

Noble Lord lowered his eyes slightly and feigned sadness: “As long as the Prince can enjoy Your Majesty’s love and live a peaceful life, Xinzi will be content. Even if I’m really forced to die someday by the King of Beiming, I would have no regrets.”

“Hmph, with me here, what harm can Xia Yan cause you?”

Empress glared, revealing a hint of ferocity: “If he dares send the Black Wolf Guard to harm you and the Prince again, I will not let him off easily.”

“Xia Yan has tried several times to harm the Prince. Xinzi lives in fear every day.”

Noble Lord’s eyes were filled with grievance and despair: “The Prince is the only relative left in this world for Xinzi; if anything happens to him, Xinzi wouldn’t want to live anymore.”

“Xinzi, are you saying that in your heart, I’m not a relative to you?”

The Empress felt uneasy, her expression changing immediately, her eyes gloomy.

“Your Majesty, please don’t be angry. Xinzi was heartbroken and said the wrong thing.”

Noble Lord pretended to be frightened, his thick, long eyelashes trembling slightly, covering his cold, flashing eyes.

“Your Majesty has always been the closest person to Xinzi. As husband and wife, we have shared the same bed and will share the same grave. We will stay together for the rest of our lives.”

“Enough, why speak of life and death during the day?”

The Empress’s expression softened slightly, caressing his hand with her fingertips, her eyes filled with indulgence: “You’re still young; don’t think too much, lest you become too grieved, and it will harm your body.”

“Your Majesty, the Peony flowers bloom at the villa outside the Capital City, making it the most beautiful time of the year.”

Noble Lord’s eyebrows lifted as he displayed a myriad of charms: “Xinzi wishes to stay at the villa for a few days; Your Majesty may as well come along. Let’s go boating on Jade Moon Lake.”

“Alright, I have recently been bothered by these old ministers, and I need to relax and unwind.”

Empress readily agreed, her eyes revealing her disgust for the old ministers.

“Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Xinzi will go back to the Serene Snow Pavilion first, change clothes, and come back.”

Noble Lord’s eyes flicked about as he respectfully backed away, then gracefully turned and left.

“Okay.”

The Empress watched him leave the hall with a smile, but her eyes darkened once he was gone, revealing a hint of ruthlessness.

Within a moment, she raised her voice and gave an order: “Let it be known, I will be vacationing at the villa outside the Capital City, and no one is allowed to disturb me.”

“Yes.”

The royal attendant, who was waiting outside the hall, respectfully responded and went to carry out the command.

Her Majesty is going to vacation at the villa!

Qingluo is now temporarily safe.

Xu Ruyun had been waiting outside the hall and, seeing that the Empress had not given any further instructions, quietly let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
