Even if Zhu’er is interested, it’s no use. That little thief only likes mature types...
She glanced at Lin Jingzhu’s small grapefruit, then lowered her head to look at her own large grapefruit...
Hmm, there’s a big difference.
"Just in time, you can try on this dress too."
"If it looks good, I’ll have the Clothing Bureau tailor a few for you and Lady Jinyun."
The Empress said, unfastening the buttons on the front of her robe, revealing her fair skin and a black hollowed-out underwear.
?!
Lin Jingzhu was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Auntie, our body shapes are too different, I don’t need to try it on, right?"
The Empress chuckled, "It’s just for you to check the design, why are you so nervous? Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen my body before."
"..."
Lin Jingzhu was speechless.
I have seen it, but Chen Mo hasn’t seen it!
"This dress doesn’t really suit me, I have my own skirts..."
"Pfft, as if I don’t know you, a wardrobe full of martial robes, and the one you’re wearing is the one I gave you last year, right? Let me check what clothes you’ve added..."
The Empress moved toward the wardrobe intending to open it and have a look, but Lin Jingzhu quickly blocked her.
"It’s too messy inside; I haven’t tidied up yet. Auntie, better not look."
?
Observing her nervousness, the Empress pinched her plump chin, squinting her eyes scrutinizingly, "I’ve felt something off about you since I came in... Zhu’er, you couldn’t be hiding a man, could you?"
Lin Jingzhu forced a smile, "How is that possible? Auntie, stop joking."
The Empress also felt it was unlikely.
Given Lin Jingzhu’s personality, the probability of her hiding a corpse was higher than hiding a man.
However, this girl must be hiding something from her, and the secret must be in the wardrobe...
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you."
The Empress turned to look at the sky outside, saying, "It’s getting late; I should return to the palace. Later, give my regards to Lady Jinyun... You first bring me the cloak."
"Alright."
Lin Jingzhu sighed with relief.
Just as she went to pick up the cloak, she heard a "creak," turned her head, and saw the Empress had already opened the wardrobe door.
"Don’t..."
The air suddenly fell silent.
The Empress’s expression stiffened, staring dumbfounded at the man in front of her.
Chen Mo emerged from the closet, pulling at an awkward smile.
"At your service, Your Highness."
"..."
The Empress’s eyelids twitched, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"Chen Mo?!"
"How come you’re here?"
Chen Mo said with difficulty, "This is a misunderstanding, a long story..."
After the shock, the Empress’s expression cooled, her pretty face clouded over, "Didn’t you forget what I told you the other day?"
Was this how the little thief was keeping his distance from Jingzhu?
He had even sneakily made his way into the lady’s chamber!
