Chapter 868 The Goddess Has a Golden Finger
The journey after that was relatively smooth.
On a sunny noon, the group finally arrived at the bustling royal capital.
Rong Yu did not even return to his own palace. He put on the Qilin Armor and went to the palace to report. Shi Li followed Rong Xing and others and returned to the palace first.
"This is the capital, and there are dignitaries everywhere. Don't cause trouble for His Highness. Hiding your identity is troublesome enough."
As soon as Shi Li got off the carriage, she heard Rong Xing's serious instructions.
Although the words may not sound good, the intention is always good.
"I definitely won't cause trouble, but if you keep looking so long, it will only be a matter of time before you cause trouble for Rong... Prince Jing."
Shi Li couldn't help but retorted to him in a light tone.
Rong Xing was speechless. He turned his head away from her and snorted.
Except Rong Xing and a few personal soldiers who had always followed Rong Yu, no one else knew the identity of the Goddess Shi Li. They only thought she was the woman Rong Yu brought back from Yucheng.
Even though she had no official status, the servants in Prince Jing's mansion always looked at her with a bit of ambiguity.
Shi Li originally thought that this was nothing. As a modern person who was upright, open-minded and generous, she would not care about the opinions of the world.
However, when she caught a glimpse of the barrage of comments floating in the air, her thoughts were diverted.
[Everyone thinks that Shi Li and Rong Yu have some improper relationship, right? ]
[The host is so lucky to have a scandal with Rong Yu~]
[Come on, anchor, make the rumors real? It will be worth your time traveling through this wave! ]
Rumors become reality?
Shi Li looked at every tree and blade of grass in Prince Jing's mansion, and Rong Yu's face and voice appeared in front of her eyes. Then she thought of the profound meaning of "solid evidence", and she stood still as if she was under a spell.
Ahhhhh!
The current barrage is so filthy!!!
She was arranged to stay in the guest room of the palace. Rong Yu had sent a pigeon to make arrangements while on the road, so the room was fully stocked with clothes and other items, and there were two maids who had been waiting for a long time.
The two maids were both from the palace. They were very well-mannered and proper. They didn't look at her with ambiguous or meaningful eyes like the others did.
"Miss Shi, you can take a bath and wash yourself first. Everything is ready."
In this age of inequality, Shi Li couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of being served.
To be fair, it is really comfortable.
After she had dressed herself up, the maid had arranged delicious meals according to the time, without her having to say anything.
I feel that if they are kept in captivity like this for a few days, no matter who they are, they will become useless people who only need to ask for food and clothes and have everything done for them.
Unlike her treatment, Rongyu was kept in the palace until it was almost dark before she was allowed to leave.
At the same time, two eunuchs from the imperial palace followed him out of the palace, under the pretext of bringing rewards back to the palace for Prince Jing.
Rong Yu made great contributions in Yucheng this time and was also injured, but Emperor Rong Xiao only rewarded him with a bunch of flashy antiques and treasures, but not a single rare medicinal ingredient to heal his wounds or replenish his body.
This was also expected and Rong Yu was not surprised.
After returning to the palace, he patiently sent away the two eunuchs. After sending them away, he stood up and walked towards the wing where Shi Li was.
The two maids were standing at the door, and when they saw Rong Yu, they bowed gracefully.
"Your Highness Prince Jing."
"You guys step aside first. I have something to say to Shi...Lili."
Through a thin curtain, Shi Li heard Rong Yu's voice in the room.
It was just a name, but it made her feel awkward for no reason and she curled her fingers subconsciously.
It was like a little girl who was just beginning to fall in love and suddenly overheard a boy say that he liked her.
