Upon hearing Chu Yanli directly call the current Holy Emperor by name, Lu Shuangge was not at all surprised.
After all, she had personally witnessed Chu Yanli standing before the gates of Qianji Palace, hands on her hips, shouting angrily, calling him "White-Bearded Fool", "Deaf Old Thief"...
Even when the palace guards surrounded her, she was still shouting that should the Emperor commit a crime, he would be punished as a commoner. If they dared, they could execute her entire family, proposing an extreme exchange with the Emperor...
Just listening to it left people bewildered.
In comparison, addressing him as "Wu Lie" was already quite polite.
Such treasonous, disgraceful behavior was something only the Princess could pull off.
"Your Highness, we’ve just returned and aren’t yet familiar with the situation in the capital. You should temper your temper to avoid causing any trouble..." Lu Shuangge advised kindly.
Chu Yanli glanced at her, "Do I really have a bad temper?"
Whether it’s bad or not, do you not even know yourself?
Lu Shuangge silently thought to herself but said aloud, "That was not my intention. Your Highness is the epitome of dignity, graceful and elegant, kind and modest, impeccable in every way... just occasionally a bit impulsive."
"I admit, you’re not wrong,"
Chu Yanli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Rest assured, over the years, I’ve matured a lot through my experiences and won’t act as recklessly as before."
"That’s good then..."
Lu Shuangge hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "Since you’ve returned from the Southern Border, won’t you first go to pay your respects to His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Chu Yanli’s eyebrows shot up, "What is Wu Lie to warrant my respect? That dog emperor, I..."
Before she could finish, Lu Shuangge quickly covered her mouth.
Against the stares of surrounding passersby, she swallowed her words and whispered, "Your Highness, this is the foot of the heavens; you mustn’t speak recklessly!"
"Get off."
Chu Yanli swatted away Lu Shuangge’s hand, saying coldly, "What’s wrong with being at the foot of the heavens? I’ll be cursing him in his face just the same! Besides, aren’t there enough people in this world cursing him?"
Indeed...
Just that others keep it to themselves, but you can’t hold it in...
Not daring to continue this topic, Lu Shuangge said, "If you don’t wish to return to the palace, how about staying at my place for a while?"
"Your house?" Chu Yanli waved her hand, "Forget it, your father is no good either, and he just makes me angry."
"..."
Lu Shuangge’s mouth twitched slightly.
Suddenly, she missed the days stationed at the Southern Border...
"I haven’t seen Yuchan in a long time, let’s find some time to visit her."
"But before that, there’s a place I need to go first."
Chu Yanli walked ahead slowly with hands behind her back.
Her steps appeared slow, but each step covered several yards, mirroring the technique of "Shrinking Ground into Inches" like Eunuch Jin.
An unseen aura surged, causing passersby to instinctively move aside, forming a path amidst the crowd.
"Your Highness, wait for me."
Lu Shuangge hurriedly followed behind, afraid this highness might cause more trouble.
