"Xianzhu, I heard footsteps outside," Yuan Yi turned around to assist Hualiuli, who was lying on the bed, but Hua Liuli was quicker than her and sat up on her own.
"Miss Yuan Yi," a palace maid stood outside without entering. She saw Yuan Yi coming out and asked in a low voice, "Is Xianzhu's attire in order? The Emperor has sent an imperial edict. Please prepare yourself to receive it."
"Thank you, sister. I will inform Xianzhu immediately," Yuan Yi replied with gratitude to the palace maid. She then turned around and hurried back to the inner chamber.
"Xianzhu..."
Hua Liuli sat in front of the mirror and adjusted her hairpins and accessories, "I heard it."
Yuan Yi helped smooth her skirt and doubted herself, saying, "When the left eye twitches, it signifies wealth, and when the right eye twitches, it signifies misfortune. I hope I didn't remember it wrong?"
"No, you remembered correctly," Hua Liuli stood up and held Yuan Yi's hand, "Take care of Xianzhu, who has a weak constitution. Let's go."
As Yuan Yi held Hua Liuli's delicate hand, her heart instantly calmed.
"Wait," Hua Liuli suddenly released Yuan Yi's hand, turned around, and put on the amulet hidden under the pillow.
Yuan Yi: ...
Xianzhu appears calm on the surface, but her actions are honest.
"Xianzhu, didn't you say you don't believe in these things?" Yuan Yi asked softly.
"You still don't know what kind of person I am?" Hua Liuli confidently replied, "When have I ever kept my word?"
Yuan Yi said, "Praying to Gods and Buddhas is effective when done with sincerity."
"Nonsense, Gods and Buddhas are very forgiving. Even if I'm not devout enough in my daily life, they will still bless me in critical moments," Hua Liuli touched the amulet hidden under her clothes, feeling an inexplicable confidence in her good luck.
The moment they stepped out of the inner chamber, Yuan Yi's smile became respectful, while Hua Liuli's footsteps slowed down. The master and servant always had an unparalleled understanding in front of others.
The palace maid originally wanted to help Yuan Yi support Xianzhu, but she felt that doing so would be interfering too much. She glanced at Yuan Yi with some envy; being trusted by one's master to such an extent was a stroke of luck that many servants longed for.
As they entered the main hall, Hua Liuli saw the Crown Prince holding the imperial edict. She also saw her elegantly dressed Third Brother and several unfamiliar officials.
When the Crown Prince saw Hua Liuli, he opened the imperial edict, "Hua Xianzhu, this is an imperial edict for you. Receive it."
Hua Liuli knelt on the prepared cushion. Hua Changkong also lifted his robe corner and knelt beside her. The two siblings exchanged a casual glance, but confusion filled their eyes.
According to reason, since she arrived in the capital, she had been eager to let everyone in the capital know that she was a fragile vase. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor should not want her to become a Wangfei or The Crown Princess.
Moreover, a marriage alliance was not the same as an act of enmity. The Hua family had made significant contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty for generations. Even if the Emperor truly wished for her to become his imperial daughter-in-law, he would have discussed it with her parents in advance before formally issuing the imperial edict. It couldn't be so casual for her to marry anyone.
Seeing the young girl clutching her sleeves nervously, the Crown Prince unfolded the imperial edict, reading it at a faster pace.
Hua Liuli: Oh no, it started with all praises for her father. Something doesn't seem right.
"As the daughter of Yingting, she is like half a daughter to Zhen..."
Hua Liuli covered her chest, feeling like she was about to cough up blood. She was getting seriously ill, on the verge of life and death.
"She shall be honored as a Junzhu and bestowed with fine horses, an estate, and fertile fields."
Hua Liuli: They are raising her noble rank to the standards of the legitimate eldest daughter of a prince. It's not an empty title either, but it also comes with an estate and fields?
What is happening? Why are they suddenly giving her the title of a Junzhu? Did her father accidentally conquer the kingdom of Daimao next to the Golden Pearl?
"She shall be granted the honorary title of 'Fushou'. From here onwards, you shall be addressed as Fushou Junzhu."
What on earth is this?
Hua Liuli could hardly believe her ears. How could they give her, a delicate and weak beauty, such a title? They could have used something like "Shu'an1"淑安" (Shū'ān): It is a title that combines the characters "淑" (shū), meaning virtuous or gentle, and "安" (ān), meaning peaceful or tranquil. "淑安" represents a lady of noble character who embodies elegance, grace, and inner peace. " or "Rouyi2"柔仪" (Róuyí): This title consists of the characters "柔" (róu), meaning gentle or soft, and "仪" (yí), meaning demeanor or bearing. "柔仪" describes someone with a gentle and demure disposition, displaying a refined and graceful manner. ". What is this "Fushou3"福寿" (Fúshòu) can be translated as "blessed longevity" or "fortune and long life". "福" (Fú): It means blessings, good fortune, or happiness. It represents the presence of positive and auspicious energy in one's life. It encompasses various aspects of well-being, including prosperity, luck, and harmony. "寿" (Shòu): It refers to longevity or long life. It represents the wish for a person to live a healthy and fulfilling life, free from illness or adversity. It is associated with the concept of vitality, endurance, and the ability to enjoy a long and prosperous existence." supposed to be?
It's not like she's a watchdog in a military camp.
"Honorable daughter is not talented. I thank His Majesty for His grace," Hua Liuli raised both hands above her head and continued, "Upon hearing this joyous news, I, your humble servant, am overwhelmed with fear and trepidation. In the future, I will remain true to my heart and live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
The Crown Prince placed the imperial edict in Hua Liuli's hand and instructed the palace maidens to assist her. He said, "The Junzhu's estate is not yet renovated. If Junzhu has any ideas, you can submit the plans to the Ministry of Works and let them take care of it."
Afterward, he turned to the officials from the Ministry of Rites who accompanied him to deliver the edict and said, "Fushou Junzhu's health is not good, so we can skip the remaining procedures. Gentlemen, copy the content of the imperial edict and store it with a seal."
The officials from the Ministry of Rites were aware of Hua Liuli's delicate health condition. They bid farewell promptly, demonstrating that the Crown Prince's words carried weight in their presence.
After dismissing the irrelevant palace attendants, the Crown Prince noticed that Hua's siblings seemed to be still in a daze. He smiled and said, "The loyalty of the Hua family has always been observed and remembered by the Emperor."
Hua Changkong bowed and said, "His Majesty's generosity is deeply appreciated by our humble family."
"Little girl," the Crown Prince raised his chin and looked at Hua Liuli, "Are you still lost in thought?"
"Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness. This humble girl has not yet recovered from the joy. Especially the words 'Fushou', which embody His Majesty's beautiful blessings and wishes. It fills me with excitement and heartfelt gratitude," Hua Liuli replied.
"In matters of great customs, there is great elegance. Benwag also thinks this title is very good," the Crown Prince expressed his satisfaction.
Hua Liuli: "..."
Alright then, you're the Crown Prince. Whatever you say goes.
Hua Changkong silently glanced at Hua Liuli and slowly withdrew his gaze. Fortunately, his little sister had been staying in the palace lately, otherwise, he might not have been able to console her.
"I have prepared a banquet in the Eastern Palace. Would you two honor me with your presence?" the Crown Prince invited.
Hua Changkong lowered his eyelids and noticed a subtle gesture from his little sister's hand below her sleeve.
"Thank you, Your Highness. We won't trouble you then."
The Eastern Palace had its own independent courtyard, horse stable, martial arts training ground, and even a guard force. It was like a small palace within the imperial palace.
As they walked from the main gate to the inner hall, Hua Liuli saw several officials from the Crown Prince's residence eagerly trying to please him. No wonder the imperial princes all aspired to become the Crown Prince; the allure of this elevated position was immense.
"Junzhu, please have some tea," A cup of steaming tea was placed next to Hua Liuli.
Hua Liuli covered her mouth and coughed lightly, "I apologize, I cannot drink tea at the moment."
"Please forgive me, Junzhu. Nubi will go and fetch another one."
Hua Liuli reached out and gently held the wrist of the palace maid. Her fingers were delicate and fair, lightly resting without any strength, "No need to trouble yourself, I'm not thirsty."
The Crown Prince looked at the palace maid with a cold expression, "Guards!"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness," The palace maid suddenly knelt down, causing Hua Liuli, who had her hand on her, to fall to the ground and hit her arm.
A hidden sleeve dart fell out from the palace maid's sleeve.
As her true identity was revealed, the palace maid's face turned cold. She swiftly rose and drew a soft sword from her waist, leaping towards the Crown Prince.
Her eyes were cold and her movements were as swift as a shadow. She was a top-level killer. She knew that if she made a move today, she would have no chance of surviving, but she had no regrets.
"Assassin!" The guards, eager to protect the Crown Prince, wished they could intercept the assassin's strike. However, the assassin's movements were too fast, and they were unable to stop her in time.
Swish!
The sound of fabric tearing echoed in the hall. Hua Liuli, who was lying on the ground, clutched the pieces of fabric in her hand. Her face was pale as she watched the assassin, who looked handsome as she flew out but fell in a disheveled manner. Hua Liuli's hand trembled as she held the fabric, like a small white flower swaying in the wind.
The secret to a top-level assassin's success was speed, but that advantage was broken by Hua Liuli. In order to get close to the Crown Prince, the assassin had disguised herself as a palace maid and had been lurking in the Eastern Palace for nearly half a year. Finally, she had the opportunity to get close to the Crown Prince, only to be foiled by a little girl who didn't want to drink tea.
She glared at Hua Liuli with hatred, wishing she could take a bite out of her flesh.
"If I said that I didn't mean to hold you back, would you believe me?" Hua Liuli hurriedly threw away the fabric in her hand, clutching her chest and gasping for breath. When Hua Changkong approached, she feigned weakness and collapsed to the ground.
She was too tired, she didn't even have a chance to eat in the Eastern Palace.
"Younger sister, younger sister," Hua Changkong quickly lifted his sister from the cold ground. He was about to shout, "Summon the imperial physician," but the Crown Prince spoke first, "Send the imperial physician here immediately."
The Crown Prince didn't pay any attention to the subdued assassin. He walked quickly to Hua Changkong's side, his gaze fixed on Hua Liuli, "Benwang will arrange the best imperial physician to treat the Princess."
"This humble servant apologizes for the misconduct. Please forgive this humble servant, Your Highness," Hua Changkong said, "This humble servant's younger sister is timid and can't handle fright. This humble servant does not want to trouble Your Highness too much. In fact, this is just her old problem. She'll be fine after resting for a day or two."
"First, send Junzhu to the side hall to rest," the Crown Prince said, looking at Hua Liuli, who was peacefully leaning against Hua Changkong's embrace, "Deploy a strong guard force. Don't let anyone suspicious get close to Junzhu."
The Imperial Guards quickly took their orders. The fact that such an assassination attempt had occurred in the Eastern Palace was their negligence. They couldn't imagine the turmoil it would cause if something happened to the Crown Prince.
"Ji Yuansu, do you think that by escaping today, you can rest easy?" The assassin's eyes turned bloodshot, "His Highness, Ying Wang, is the true future ruler of Great Jin."
After speaking, she bit the poison sac hidden in her teeth and waited for death to come.
"Ying Wang?" The Crown Prince looked at the assassin, who was continuously spitting blood, "If you can't even succeed as an assassin, do you think you're capable of sowing discord? It requires a brain, something you clearly lack."
The assassin widened her eyes, making a "hehe" sound. She wasn't afraid of death, but she couldn't tolerate others denying her status in the world of assassins. It was a matter of her dignity!
"Do you think Benwang would be curious about the mastermind behind you?" The Crown Prince wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, his expression calm, "Relying on a useless assassin to achieve something? You're no different from garbage."
The assassin sprayed out her last mouthful of blood and stared with wide eyes, breathless.
No one knew whether she died from anger or poison.
With the assassin dead and the Crown Prince's hands cleaned, he turned and walked towards the side hall.
Hua Changkong placed Hua Liuli on the bed and sighed softly. The capital city was truly a bottomless quagmire. He didn't know if the assassin intentionally struck while they were present or if it was just a coincidence.
The Emperor favored the Crown Prince the most. If the Crown Prince were assassinated in front of them, the Emperor would definitely direct his anger towards the Hua family.
The conflict between the monarch and his loyal subjects was a major taboo in the court, but now there were people hoping for chaos in the court of Great Jin.
Although the princes had their ambitions, they shouldn't engage in activities that would only please enemy nations.
So, which insignificant neighboring country was behind all this?
