Chapter 160: Not as Cute as Her (1)Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He Tian immediately cupped his hands and repentantly said, “Yes, Your Highness! This servant will depart at once! This servant also won’t stand like a sitting duck the next time I encounter situations like this.”
Hidden Flower’s lips twitched.
Why did he feel like the personal guards trained by the commander of the royal guards, Hui Feng, all held a close resemblance to Hui Feng himself? They were all blockheads…
The crown prince who had to worry sick about his subordinates sighed exasperatedly before turning to peer at Hidden Flower. “Why are you still here?”
“This subordinate will depart now!” Hidden Flower hurried to follow He Tian’s group with a stern expression.

It was not until He Tian and his stream of guards and carriages rolled far away that the fallen and shit-eating Commandery Princess Hui’an finally reacted. Brother Crown Prince kicked her away.
“Command-commandery Princess,” her personal servant cautiously called her. “Th-this servant will help Your Highness up.”
“I don’t need your help!” Commandery Princess Hui’an shot up from the ground. Her carefully styled hair was messed up, and her disheveled look cut a sorry figure.
Primarily, it was because she bit herself when she crashed to the ground, so blood was leaking out from her nose and mouth.
Her personal maidservant did not dare to look directly at such a ‘gorgeous’ appearance.
“G-go l-look into it! See wh-who is the r-recipient of B-brother Crown Prince’s p-present!” Hui’an’s lips were shuddering from how angry she was, her honeyed affection had all turned into blazing fury.
Upon seeing her personal maidservant’s cowering head and unseemly appearance, Hui’an slapped the maidservant and angrily shouted, “Hurry and straighten this commandery princess’ appearance already! This commandery princess will immediately see Her Majesty the Queen!”
The personal maidservant had a miserable expression and was shrinking back. Although she feared Commandery Princess Hui’an, she could not resist advising, “Her Majesty values His Highness the Crown Prince more than Her Majesty’s life. If Your Highness drags such a trivial matter to Her Majesty, Your Highness will only make yourself look unfavorable…”
Commandery Princess Hui’an stomped her feet in anger. “I don’t care! Then I’ll go find Her Majesty the Queen Dowager to seek justice!”
“Commandery Princess, let’s return to the estate first,” several junior maidservants miserably begged.
Although the Queen Dowager doted on the commandery princess a lot usually, if the matter became related to Her Majesty’s precious direct grandson, 10 commandery princesses still would not be enough!
Commandery Princess Hui’an bawled to the high heavens as she left the royal palace.
When Mo Lian heard Xiao’xi’zi report the matter, he made a noncommittal sound without looking up. He laid a few more strokes with his pen before setting it aside.
The crown prince propped his chin up with one hand and stared at the desk with his head tilted.
Some time later, Xiao’xi’zi cautiously said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Ninth Princess and Tenth Princess are here.”
Only
“Oh.” The crown prince shifted his elbow and looked up, his sight landing on the entryway. “Let them in.”
Ninth Princess and Tenth Princess were both birthed by Royal Concubine Xi. There was not a large age gap between the two—one was eight and one was nine—and both looked fair and cute and lovable and exquisite.
When the two children were led inside the Eastern Palace by their respective wet nurse, they were incredibly apprehensive. Their concubine mother’s reminder ceaselessly repeating in their ears, “When you go to the Eastern Palace, you must abide by all manners and be extremely respectful. You must do all that you can to ingratiate yourself with the crown prince. You mustn’t gain the crown prince’s disfavor…”
“Mo Xue—”
“—Mo Li—”
“—greet the crown prince.” The two children both curtsied and greeted. They were young but the rules and etiquette that they learned had been ingrained deep inside their bones, so every gesture and every movement were very standardized, as though they were puppets created from a mold.
Mo Lian frowned. A single look and he lost interest in his sisters.
