Liu Rushuang blinked for a second. “Oh? Pray tell why have you decided to bury the hatchet?” She asked coldly.

A thought came to Xu Ziling’s mind and she blushed. “I do not wish to hide the truth from Your Majesty. I have a man who I love and plan to marry him on New Year’s Day. You are no longer my rival in love and I have no need to go against you.”

Astonishment flashed across Liu Rushuang’s face, and she grinned. She turned to face Xu Ziling, then smiled sincerely at her. “Congratulations Lady Xu. His majesty and I will send you a wedding gift on the first of October.” 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Xu Ziling raised her head and smiled brightly at Liu Rushuang. “Thank you, Your Majesty for your great generosity.”

“You’re welcome. You and Your Majesty have known one another since you were both little. His Majesty has always treated you as a little sister. I follow His Majesty’s wishes and also treat you as a little sister. So, from now on, there’s no need for formalities around me.”

Xu Ziling understood what Liu Rushuang meant by this. She knew that Liu Rushuang had completely dropped all bias against her. The smile upon Xu Ziling’s face widened several times over and responded, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Liu Rushuang flashed a faint smile and said, “Lady Xu, if you’re not in a rush, would you like to take a stroll with me?”

“I’d be delighted to,” said Xu Ziling smilingly.

With that, Xu Ziling joined them on their stroll. There were a lot more laughs in the garden and everyone had a fun time. Without knowing it, an hour had passed.

“Your Majesty, I can tell that you have a really good heart,” said Xu Ziling suddenly as they walked.

Liu Rushuang had a sweet smile on her face and glistening eyes that resembled the stars. She looked at the extremely beautiful pink and white flowers, and only flatly replied, “Your ability to read others still needs work.”

“Pffft...” Xu Ziling couldn’t hold back her laughter and said, “Your Majesty, how are there people like you in this world? I was able to flatter to you just this once with a lot of difficulty, and you still refuted it. Your Majesty, do you not like other people flattering you?”

Liu Rushuang turned her head and couldn’t help but look annoyed when she saw Xu Ziling’s cheerful smile. “Are you saying that I cannot tell what’s good or bad?”

“Why would I dare? I was just sincerely venting. Your Majesty won’t be annoyed with me, right?” Xu Ziling blinked the innocent, big eyes on her charming little face.

Liu Rushuang couldn’t hold the stern expression on her face and smiled. “I used to think that you were unreasonably rebellious. Now, I realize that you’re a brilliant child.”

“You flatter me, Your Majesty.” Ziling might have said ‘flatter’ but she looked very proud of herself.

Liu Rushuang felt even more elated. “Now I feel sorry for the man who marries you.”

“Why? Do you think ill of me?” Xu Ziling blinked with a hurt look on her face.

Liu Rushuang shook her head and smiled. “No. I just think that whoever marries a sneaky woman like you, will definitely be in the palm of your hand.”

“Naturally. Just look at what kind of environment I, Xu Ziling, was raised in?” Xu Ziling raised her eyebrows.

Liu Rushuang’s eyes lit up and asked with a faint smile on her face, “How are your little brothers lately? From what His Majesty said, you and your three siblings fight often. The whole general’s manor is going to quickly crumble because of you all.”

Xu Ziling thought about her three younger brothers and her face immediately dropped. “Your Majesty, don’t mention me with those three little twerps together. They just get more annoying, one after the other.”
