Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 803

When Diana invited Harper to the palace, the latter was somewhat startled. Because Diana's mother, the queen of the South Kingdom had originally invited her to the palace three days from then. This only meant that the queen used a single day to settle the internal conflict in her family. It was not an easy job. After all, the Holy Maiden was a tough and cunning woman. If Diana competed with her, she wouldn't probably have a chance of winning.

"You're surprised. You think that we're very busy dealing with Catherine that we don't have time to invite you for tea. Am I right?" Diana firmly said.

"Yes, I'm surprised but for a different reason. I'm surprised that you're really calm. It seems like your mother is such an extraordinary woman indeed," Harper said.

Diana did not say anything in response. Her mother was the one she admired the most. Although it was rare to see her mother public, her ability was no inferior than her father's.

"I'm actually curious about why my mother insisted on seeing you. It even seems like she's in a hurry. Master, what have you done to impress my mother?" Diana asked while walking around Harper several times.

"Well, I didn't do anything," Harper replied. She was telling the truth. She didn't do anything significant. However, Harper supposed that the reason why the queen was behaving like that must have something to do with the Qin Clan.

"You really are a genius. You didn't do anything and yet, my mother is so impressed with you. It's incredible. I envy you so much," Diana stated with a sigh. Her tone was filled with admiration. After all, it was the first time for her mother to invite someone for tea.

"What's there to be envious of? You can have tea with your mother every day."

Diana pursed her lips. "That's different! This is the first time that my mother is formally inviting someone to tea."

With a smile, Harper said, "Let's go. It's getting dark already. If we don't hurry up, then I need to have dinner instead of just a cup of tea. By the way, I didn't expect that you and your sister will reconcile that easily."

"Why not? We're family. Nothing is more important than our love for each other as siblings," Diana stated with confidence.

Harper praised her. "You're quite generous." It's a pity that I don't have that kind of attitude. In my eyes, only when other people treat me well will I treat them well. And if others treat me poorly, then I'm going to double that and give it back to them."

As they continued to converse while walking, Diana took Harper to a royal palanquin. "Wow, you're the kind of person who seeks revenge for the smallest offense. You're so narrow-minded. Be careful, if you are always like that, that man will dislike you and abandon you."

Harper lightly replied, "Oh you're the same as me. You're also the kind of person who takes revenge for the smallest offense. The only difference between you and me is that you won't do it to your family." Harper's rules were the same for everyone. But apparently, other people didn't have the same rules. That was to say, she had her own standards.

With pursed lips, Diana kept her mouth shut. Everyone had their own boundaries, so did Diana. But hers did not apply to her family. They were the only exception to her rules. But Harper was not the same. After all, she grew up in an environment much different from Diana. So in Harper's opinion, there shouldn't be an exception. Perhaps there were some. But the persons who she would include as her exceptions would certainly not disappoint her.
