Royal degree...
A huge silence fall into the whole garden everyone look at an hua with shock she really don't care about the royal palace.
Empress look at her with cold smile and ask "then remind me Miss An what I'm forgetting cause of my waek memory"
An hua slowly walk toward her seeing this princess ding seem to have remember there previous encounter.
As she tremble slightly and step back in fear her action were gone unnoticed by others but an hua smile teasingly at her.
"Your highness three year ago when my father had resolve the issue of lack of food in northern region
His highness had reward our mansion with the imperial degree that direct descendant of An family don't have to bow to any
Royal family member rather then the emperor himself right now princess ding asked me to kneel infront of you
Let me question you princess ding do you think empress position is higher then the emperor in your eyes"
"..."
Princess ding face paled if such a degree actually exit then she had just insult an hua on using the degree.
Insulting the royal degree is equal to insulting the emperor moreover an hua clearly ask his question to her.
Not to the empress ofcourse empress to understand the intention of an hua she immediately order coldly to her.
"Kneel fo you really think you can royal degree like this" she immediately fall on her knees she know the depth of her mistake.
"Your highness I have no intention of insulting the royal degree but I have never heard of this royal degree making me do something extremely unforgivable please punish me"
Yes no one know about this degree what if the degree is fake and she is using this lie to get away from the punishment.
Empress have some impression of this newly titled princess ahe look at an hus with displeased expression on her.
But it seem like an hua had no intention of explaining the situation as she sip her tea with light smile on her face.
She look like someone who is watching good drama rather then being questioned for lying to the royal family.
Empress coldly laugh which make others ladies nervous and sacred "Miss An I have really poor memory will you remind when the emperor give this degree"
An hua look at her with lazy smile and yawn which is blunt disrespect to the empress "seem like empress is reallly growing old"
"Nevermind why don't we all go to royal court and make the emperor judge of it we will know if I'm lying or not"
"..."
The whole garden again fall silent they all look at her they possibly disturb the emperor for such small matter.
Empress can only suffer in silence she glare at the culprit who is silently drinking her tea with her signature lazy smile.
He take a deep breath and spoke "I'm suddenly feeling unwell so I will take my leave you all should drink some tea these tea leaf had came from southern region have effect of smoothing the skin and cleaning impurities"
Everyone start flattering the empress in order to calm down the situation they praise her for being kind and merciful.
'merciful it would be sirprise if she didn't send any assign to kill me' she mutter to herself while looking at the retreating figure of the empress.
As soon as the empress was gone the atmosphere change everyone look at An hua and move away from her.
They don't want to get on bad side of empress so they might as well offend her it's not like she is going to talk with them either.
After the empress was gone theee uninvited and unexpected guest arrive there they were none other then.
The crown prince, third young master bai and the youngest general there arrival make every girl to fix there makeup and dress.
An hua look at them with blank look on ber face as other bow to three of them an hua stay seated kb her chair.
This make Bai zing uncomfortable usually she used to get up and greet him even though ignored the crown prince.
But today he is receiving the same attitude he felt uncomfortable but suddenly he notice something everyone else is kneeling.
But she is seating onvher seat drinking tea even though crown prince is easy going person this is blunt disrespect to royal family
"Miss An why aren't you kneeling to greet the prince" an hua look at him like she is looking at an idiot.
Before can say something else crown prince stop him "zing,miss an is direct descend of left prime minister family
According to the royal degree rather then the emperor they don't need to kneel infront of any other royal fsmily member
Even if imperial mother is here she can or not kneel infront of imperial mother no one can punish her"
Other nobles ladies were taken back they didn't know that the degree is real since the crown prince is saying this.
The degree must be real everyone look at her with jealousy and envy in there eyes bai zing was shock.
In the past he never care about her so he didn't know this but now hearing this from crown prince his eyes flash.
If what crown prince has said is truth then she hold extreme valuve and power in her his now regretting not paying attention to her
If he had spoken kindly to her maybe she had not called out of lovd from him this is not good for his carrier.
An hua is known for her beauty and scheme no one can escape from her she want to toy with you this knowlege very few people know.
And those people who know about it know how much dangerous an hua actually is she can destroy someone with single flick of her fingers.
But never show it on her face this is the reason why no one want to be enemy of her even there parents warn them.
