337~ Following to Court~
"Princess, please listen to my explanation carefully! Things aren't what you think!"
"Don't explain. I understand, I understand everything. You were just holding it in too long and got pent up. You wanted to properly release it. That's fine."
Anyway, it wasn't her body, just a spare body that looked exactly like her. It didn't matter...
After all, she'd previously "made one bleed" once before. That time was pure curiosity, but now Maid "Xiao Xi's" appearance couldn't possibly be just curiosity.
"Princess!"
Maid "Xiao Xi" quickly walked before the Little Princess and continued explaining:
"Princess, smell it. This truly is saliva!"
"Don't come closer..."
The Little Princess extended both hands wanting to block her advancing steps, but due to the gap in strength, she was forced backward, ultimately cornered in a wall corner.
"Princess, please smell it! This truly is only saliva!"
She skeptically smelled it. The smell she smelled... seemed to indeed be the smell of her saliva?
"Don't get so close to me first!"
Being this close truly made her somewhat afraid!
"Alright..."
She could only release the Little Princess and retreat back a few steps.
"Princess, you can come up and look. I truly didn't do anything excessive to this body. I was truly only examining it."
"Then what do you think you can examine from this body?"
The Little Princess moved slightly closer and asked back.
"Just examining various aspects of the health of the body Princess will prepare to use in the future?"
"Huh?"
The body she'd prepare to use in the future?
She couldn't figure out what Maid "Xiao Xi" meant for a moment.
"Doesn't Princess's notebook record that to avoid the burden and irreversible changes divine power brings to the body, you must change to a body suitable for bearing divine power?"
She thought these bodies were the most suitable.
"Is that so?"
She pondered for a while and suddenly discovered something wrong in it.
"Wait, how do you know?"
She hadn't shown this notebook to anyone aside from Cecilia. How did Maid "Xiao Xi" know?
"This, can't I see the outside world through your eyes? It's just that once when you were looking at that part of the content, I happened to see it through your eyes."
"That's how. I just wanted to help you examine the body in advance."
As she spoke, she lifted up that wet skirt. Although it was in a vacuum state, it hadn't been violated or anything. It seemed it truly was only examination...
No, what proper person would examine this kind of place!?
She still had some guard against maid "Xiao Xi."
"Please rest assured, Princess. I absolutely won't do anything excessive to Princess yourself."
At most, at most, she'd only do it to these spare bodies.
She thought in her heart.
"Then... alright!"
If she was examining for her, then examine for her.
"By the way, Princess, didn't you want to find backing for yourself? Do you have any methods?"
She knew Cecilia refused to help her Princess, so she asked with some concern.
"Mm, of course..."
Of course she had methods. Since Cecilia was unwilling, then forget it. She also had other ways to deceive the nobles within Glaze Nation's borders.
However, this method might make Cecilia somewhat angry. But to implement system reform, she could only resort to this desperate measure.
"Is that so? Then that's good."
This way, she didn't need to worry about her Princess so much.
She understood her Princess. Without certain certainty, she wouldn't say she already had methods.
"Then what does Princess plan to do?"
"Just watch."
Anyway, this Maid "Xiao Xi" also couldn't help much. She might as well directly let her watch as she implemented the plan herself.
Her plan might be somewhat dangerous for others, but she completely wasn't afraid. With a pair of life-saving items on her body, she fundamentally didn't need to fear she'd get injured...
......
......
"Princess~ Time to get up."
"Mm-nn..."
The Little Princess pulled the blanket over her head, completely shrinking her entire body into the covers.
"Princess, the sun is shining on your butt!"
"Stinky Xiao Xi... get lost..."
She spoke groggily.
"Princess!"
"Ugh! You're so annoying!"
She impatiently got up, glaring angrily at Maid Xiao Xi. Her drowsiness was also dispelled quite a bit at this moment.
"Princess, it's time to get up, wash, and eat breakfast."
"Oh."
Rubbing her eyes, she suddenly realized something.
Didn't she lock the door last night? How did Xiao Xi get in!?
"How did you get in?"
"Me?"
Maid Xiao Xi pointed at herself.
"Right! Speak clearly. Exactly how did you get in!?"
She'd clearly locked the door dead last night!
"This, because I have a key."
She had keys to the entire Glaze Royal Palace. Basically, she could enter wherever she wanted. Even if her Princess's and His Majesty's bedroom doors were locked from inside, she could easily open them.
"Give me the key!"
Maid Xiao Xi very obediently handed over the key, but the Little Princess still had some doubts about this.
Just that simply gave it to her?
"What's wrong, Princess?"
"Nothing."
The Little Princess shook her head.
Forget it. She wouldn't think so much. She also couldn't understand this imposter's train of thought. Anyway, as long as the key was in her own hands, it was enough.
"Alright, move aside. I'm getting up to wash!"
"Alright."
......
Before long, she finished washing and came to the dining hall to eat. Her cheap Father the King had also long since been sitting in the dining hall waiting for her.
"Mo, are you coming along to court today?"
"Yes."
She wanted to follow her cheap Father the King to court together, then during court, arrange some matters properly to lay the groundwork for the later plan.
"Yu Xi, prepare."
Gong instructed.
"Understood."
Maid Xiao Xi answered.
"Prepare?"
The Little Princess didn't quite understand her cheap Father the King's meaning.
Prepare what? Couldn't she just go directly to court?
"Nothing. Just preparing your position, moving a chair next to my position."
This way, it would be convenient for his precious daughter to give him hints, and also convenient for the two to speak in low voices without being heard by the ministers below.
Moreover, with his precious daughter by his side, he felt his confidence had increased considerably.
After all, his precious daughter was a genius among geniuses, one in ten thousand, who could help her perfectly handle many political affairs.
"Wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
She'd only substituted for her cheap Father the King at court once. Now suddenly saying she'd have a dedicated position next to her Father the King, sitting there during court, wouldn't there be many voices questioning it?
"I think it's very good. Who dares say it's not good?"
If anyone dared say his daughter was no good, he'd have to fight that person to the death!
"Uh... alright then, let's do that."
Anyway, her cheap Father the King was the nation's sovereign. If he truly did this, probably others would only talk in private. No one wanted to offend their king.
Moreover, she was still a princess. Her status was far more noble than others. No one wanted to invite trouble upon themselves.
"Princess, do you want a chair the same as His Majesty's, or a slightly more comfortable leather chair?"
The "dragon throne" during court was made from jade, so when sitting on it, one's butt was ice-cold, and it hurt somewhat from being so hard.
So she chose without hesitation:
"I want leather, the kind in my bedroom!"
"This... I'm afraid we can only temporarily take it from Princess's bedroom to use first."
Everything in the Little Princess's bedroom was custom-made, personally designed by the Little Princess herself. The materials used on that chair were also very luxurious. Although it couldn't compare to the one in the Empress's bedroom, its value was also far beyond what ordinary families could afford to buy. Probably emptying one's entire savings wouldn't be enough for one chair.
"Whatever. As long as it's comfortable."
She said indifferently.
She felt as long as she sat comfortably, it didn't matter.
"Also, no need to make a new chair."
She continued instructing.
Anyway, she wouldn't always stay in Glaze Nation. Returning was only returning for a period. Following her cheap Father the King to court this time was also only to grasp the overall situation. After returning later, probably she wouldn't need to continue following to court anymore.
Moreover, this chair was quite expensive. Having one to use was fine.
"Alright."
"Then we'll prepare for court in a moment. Let's eat breakfast first."
"Mm."
The Little Princess nodded. After Maid Xiao Xi brought all the breakfast up, she picked up her knife and fork and began eating.
......
"Say, has Princess been somewhat mentally unwell recently?"
"Are you crazy? Evaluating Princess like that, if someone hears, do you still want your head!?"
"But... I'm telling the truth! Princess clearly knows this series of measures will touch many people's interests, making that batch of officials and nobles who participated, plus that portion of common people mixed in, dissatisfied, yet still wants to eliminate them all in one sweep?"
Wouldn't gradual progression be good? Isn't she afraid someone among this batch would spare no cost to assassinate her?
"You're thinking too simply. Who in this world dares assassinate Princess?"
You should know Princess is Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Empress's Imperial Consort, the continent's number one strongest's wife. Who would dare go up to assassinate? If this matter reached the Empress's ears, absolutely no one could protect them.
Plus their His Majesty was a daughter doting fool. After learning his precious daughter encountered assassination, he'd definitely go mad with rage and spare no cost to drag out the mastermind behind the scenes, even joining with Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Empress together...
It could be said, only people with brain problems would think of assassinating their Princess. Whoever stepped on this landmine had to die!
"Is that so?"
"Otherwise, what did you think?"
He couldn't help but feel his back turn cold.
Being resented by the nation's king and the continent's number one strongest, even if one had the greatest abilities, there'd be no way to escape, right?
