Chapter 1517: Her Highness the Princess (67)

Lin Yuexiang now had a residence of her own. Lü Yuzhi lived in the Princess Manor, while Lü Yufan resided at Yun Buxiu's estate.

Although the three residences stood close to one another, apart from a handful of insiders, no one knew the relationship between the three of them.

Compared to the dazzling Lin Yuexiang and Lü Yuzhi, who had earned the title of Little Divine Doctor, Lü Yufan remained almost completely unknown.

And in this obscurity, Lü Yufan finally welcomed the imperial examinations.

Previously, Lin Yuexiang and Lü Yuzhi had both been extremely busy. Apart from returning each night to check on Lü Yufan, they rarely had the opportunity to see one another.

As for the examination, Lü Yufan wasn't nervous at all.

On the contrary, compared to his previous life, he had much greater confidence this time. He was certain that he would shine brilliantly.

Lin Yuexiang and Lü Yuzhi were also waiting for this day.

The day they could thoroughly crush Lü Qing was drawing ever closer.

While Lü Yufan sat for the examinations, Lü Qing was far from idle.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Having heard many stories about Lin Yuexiang, he decided to personally take action.

No matter what, he wanted to teach her a lesson.

As for how?

She was, after all, a woman.

If rumors spread that she had an improper relationship with a man, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on her reputation.

If it were an ordinary man, people would merely think Lin Yuexiang was somewhat romantic and wouldn't consider it a big deal.

But what if that man was the current Second Princess's Prince Consort—Lü Qing?

【Host, Lü Qing has been lying in wait for Lin Yuexiang lately. I think he's definitely plotting something. In this life, because Host has kept him down, he never had the chance to grow. All he can think of now are these despicable tricks.】

【But it's truly vicious. If Lin Yuexiang really fell into his trap, it would become a serious weakness.】

“Indeed,” Tang Guo replied. “Imagine a woman of humble birth who managed to become the first female official of the dynasty through her own abilities. If Lü Qing succeeded, she'd surely panic, and then he could manipulate her however he pleased. His fantasy is rather beautiful.”

Tang Guo sat leisurely in the courtyard of her Princess Manor, snacking while listening to the System report the latest gossip from the front lines.

Before long, Yingzhu came running in and whispered, “Your Highness, Lord Lin has sent word and invites Your Highness to come watch the show.”

“Go invite the National Teacher. We'll all go watch together.”

Upon hearing that Tang Guo wished to invite him to see a show, Yun Buxiu forgot everything else and directly vaulted over the wall from the neighboring residence.

Dressed in spotless white robes, he floated gracefully down before her.

The people of the Princess Manor had long grown accustomed to this sight and no longer found it strange.

Their group set off grandly for the tavern where Lin Yuexiang was staying.

On the way, Tang Guo happened to run into Tang Xi, who had just returned from an outing outside the city.

As Tang Xi stepped aside to make way, Tang Guo kindly said, “Second Imperial Sister, there's an interesting show today. Would you like to come and watch?”

Tang Xi's heart immediately filled with suspicion.

A show?

In recent years, she'd lived rather freely. Any dreams of becoming the Grand Princess had long been crushed by Tang Guo's existence.

Apart from Lü Qing causing occasional trouble, she found her life rather comfortable.

Thus, she had thoroughly understood one thing.

As long as she minded her own business and didn't provoke her imperial elder sister, life would continue peacefully.

Seeing the meaningful smile on Tang Guo's face, Tang Xi suddenly felt that something wasn't right.

“Imperial Sister, what kind of show is it?”

What sort of performance was important enough to warrant such fanfare?
