CHAPTER 230 (2): ON HER HEAD
Translation: Cosy
Before exiting the room, Su Xi-er lifted a hand to make sure that the dangling hair ornant was arranged properly in her hair bun. After taking care of that, she patted her robes down one last ti before a palace maid’s voice sounded from behind the door.
"Miss Xi-er, Prince Hao has ordered for you to head towards the Dragon Boat Night Banquet after you wake up. It's the largest boat in the middle."
Su Xi-er opened the doors and nodded before looking at the Dragon Boat in the centre. Seeing as how the Dragon Boat Night Banquet would be held on the sa vessel every year, she was very familiar with it.
After slowly alighting the boat that she was on, Su Xi-er began to head towards the Dragon Boat in the centre. It just so happened that Ning Anlian was arriving by the Water Caltrop River in the Wei Family’s horse carriage at the sa ti. In doing so, she was able to see the silhouette wearing red walking towards the Dragon Boat.
Ning Anlian's eyes darkened as her gaze suddenly locked onto that red silhouette. It's Su Xi-er!
She lifted the carriage curtains a little higher, but what she caught sight of made her breath stop in her throat ー A jade-green dangling ornant with cascading jade pendants! That is... my dangling ornant! Of all the accessories Ning Rulan owned, Ning Anlian had only kept this one due to its significant aning.
Ning Anlian's thoughts ran wild. My Imperial Mother passed on early. I only know that initially, Emperor Father had originally wanted to give it to my mother, but that it sohow went to Ning Rulan’s Empress Mother instead.
Ning Anlian clenched her fists tightly. Ning Rulan's Empress Mother snatched the dangling ornant that supposedly belonged to my Imperial Mother. It was only after Ning Rulan died did I finally manage to get her hands on it. I now treasure it very much, but who would have known that it would be stuck in Su Xi-er’s hair bun on her head!
Ning Anlian was sure that the ornant was the sa one that she treasured so much. She had spent much ti simply holding it in her hand and observing it carefully, even if she only wore it for certain occasions. For example, she would intentionally wear it when trying to sound Yun Ruofeng out.
"What's in the horse carriage?" Suddenly, an imperial guard's voice sounded forth, imdiately beginning to lift the curtain of the carriage.
Wei Guang imdiately went forward. "The ingredients in this horse carriage are different from the ones before; they are all valuable ingredients, and are to be sent to the restaurant."
"In the past, I wouldn't have insisted on checking. However, Prince Yun has just ordered everyone to keep a close watch in the vicinity of the Water Caltrop River. Sorry, Landlord Wei." The imperial guard then lifted his halberd and pushed aside the carriage curtains to look within.
Wei Guang's heart was almost at his throat. He was just about to speak when the imperial guard kept his halberd. "Checking's done. There are no problems, let him in."
"Thank you, Sir Official," Wei Guang heaved a sigh of relief and imdiately ordered his servant to drive the carriage towards the restaurant.
The imperial guards had ford a circle in the vicinity of the Water Caltrop River. Being “let in” ant being allowed into the circle of guards.
The horse carriage drove forward as Ning Anlian straightened her body. Seeing the green vegetable leaves on the helm of her dress, her brows furrowed together.
Su Xi-er did this to . She made unable to attend the state banquet, and even snatched my dangling ornant; how can I not hate her?
Great, Su Xi-er, this Princess has a big score to settle with you. This Princess doesn't care how much Prince Hao dotes on you; I will make sure you suffer a horrible death!
A malicious smile flickered across the recesses of Ning Anlian's eyes. n are all the sa, unable to resist a pretty face. Pei Qianhao, and the representatives of the other nations are no different. Even Yun Ruofeng treated Su Xi-er differently.
If Su Xi-er is no longer beautiful, and becos a murderer, I want to see who would still love her!
Su Xi-er, you didn't want to stay on your easy path, and had to oppose this Princess instead. However, even Ning Rulan was killed by this Princess when she obstructed , to say nothing of you.
