Chapter 264: The Zhu Sisters, the Official Beginning
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
Not far from the palace, a large area of buildings is located, encompassing mountains and rivers.
Looking at the entire imperial city, only the palace is more luxurious.
The guards are strict and reveal a sense of rigidity.
Inside, there seems to be a cheerful atmosphere, warm and harmonious.
It's noon, and the sun is just right.
The kitchen fire has died down, and several figures are entering the dining hall one after another.
"Second Miss, slow down, don't fall!"
The youngest one seems particularly happy today, jogging all the way.
Behind her, a maid follows, her words full of concern, but her actions are unhurried.
There is no urgency in her eyes.
It wasn't until entering the dining hall that she quickly caught up, stepping forward with a gentle expression.
The little girl happily ran to the plump girl.
Holding her hand, she excitedly said:
"Sister, Zhu Zhuqing awakened her martial soul yesterday, and it's innate soul power level seven."
"Really?"
Zhu Zhuyun smiled and bent down, pinching Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks.
"Then Zhuqing is really amazing."
"Mmm~\
,"Zhu Zhuqing frowned, today her sister's strength seemed a little too much.
Zhu Zhuyun had a somewhat complicated smile in her eyes.
She slowly reduced her strength and straightened her aching waist.
Zhu Zhuyun was still in her youth, but her figure was already eye-catching.
"Alright, let's all come and eat."
At the center of the hall's dining table, a noble woman sat upright on the side, calling out softly.
Dignified and luxurious, her black hair was coiled up.
Her figure was extremely hot, sitting at the table, she still needed the table to help support her milk.
"Understood, Mother."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded slightly, ignoring Zhu Zhuqing's outstretched little hand.
She walked to the table and sat down on her own.
Placing that plump softness on the edge of the table.
"Sister...?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her empty little hand, covering her reddened cheeks.
Her heart was full of confusion.
Today, her sister didn't seem to like her very much?
Zhu Zhuqing had a puzzled look on her face, she started to walk and sat down in her place.
Smiling, she greeted the tall man and the noble woman next to her.
"Father, Mother..."
"Yes."
The man wearing light armor nodded slightly.
"Zhuqing, eat quickly, and go back to cultivate properly later."
The beautiful woman's voice was soft, with a gentle smile on her face, it seemed that she loved both daughters very much.
"Yes, thank you, Mother."
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and picked up her chopsticks, a bowl of white rice had already been served.
She had been cultivating for a long time today...
She was already hungry.
Just after taking a bite of rice, when she raised her eyes to pick up some vegetables, she paused.
The table was very large, and the fragrant dishes were a little far from her.
Holding the bowl, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhu Zhuyun next to her, and said in a delicate voice:
"Sister, Zhuqing can't reach the vegetables."
"Okay, eat quickly."
Zhu Zhuyun seemed not to have understood, nodded slightly, smiled, and remained unmoved.
Only caring about eating her own food.
"Sister..."
Zhu Zhuqing still wanted to say something.
The beautiful woman next to her smiled and reminded her: "Zhuqing, say anything after you finish eating."
"But Mother..."
Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.
Raising her eyes and holding the bowl, as if wanting the other three to give her some...
But for a long time, no one paid attention to her.
Her slender eyelashes drooped, a little lost, pursing her red lips.
She glanced at the man diagonally opposite.
Summoning her courage, she leaned on the table and stretched out her little hand.
Just as she was about to reach the dishes she loved...
A heavy thud suddenly rang out on the table.
Turning her head to look, the man's knuckles were knocking on the table, his eyes full of majesty.
"Father..."
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned slightly pale.
Picking up the dishes she had gotten, she was about to sit back in her seat.
But the dishes that had already been obtained with her chopsticks were suddenly brushed off and taken away by Zhu Zhuyun, leaving her empty-handed.
"Sister, you...!"
Zhu Zhuqing's light purple eyes were covered with mist.
But no one cared.
Except for her, everyone else was still so gentle and respectful.
The strong man put down his bowl.
Instructing: "Zhuqing, His Majesty has decreed that you will be the Third Prince's fiancée from now on."
"Remember that?"
There was no intention of asking in his words, only notification and toughness.
"Father, Zhuqing remembers."
Looking at that majestic face.
Zhu Zhuqing sat upright and nodded seriously.
She knew the meaning of fiancée, her sister was the Crown Prince's fiancée.
"That's good, I'm full, you can eat slowly."
As soon as the words fell.
The man got up and walked outside.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, eat well, don't go hungry."
The plump noble woman smiled and stood up.
She rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head, then turned and left the hall.
Zhu Zhuqing watched them leave.
Zhu Zhuyun slowly and methodically put the intercepted dish into her mouth.
She slowly stood up and ordered:
"Alright, come over and clean up the table."
"Yes, Eldest Miss."
The maid waiting nearby bowed and responded, immediately carrying a bucket forward to clean up the leftovers.
"Sister... Ah!"
Zhu Zhuqing was just about to say something.
Her cheeks had already been pinched by Zhu Zhuyun, with even greater force than before.
Zhu Zhuyun's face was full of a gentle smile.
"Zhuqing, our competition has officially begun."
"Be careful in the future, you know? Don't accidentally get killed by your sister, oh~"
"Sister, Zhuqing hurts..."
Tears welled up in the corners of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
"Heh."
Zhu Zhuyun chuckled, released Zhu Zhuqing, but grabbed her rice bowl in her hand.
Quietly put it aside.
"From now on, you all have to take good care of Zhuqing, do you understand?"
"We understand."
The maids immediately responded.
They all knew the Zhu family's tradition, who would be the winner with a seven-year age difference.
Needless to say.
Zhu Zhuqing was born to only become a pawn.
"That's good."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded with satisfaction, then left the dining hall.
With some reluctance in her eyes.
"Sister, don't blame me, blame fate for letting us be born in the Zhu family."
At the doorway, Zhu Zhuyun bit her lip.
Turning back to stare at the little kitten with tears in her eyes, she stepped away.
"I haven't finished eating yet..."
Zhu Zhuqing covered her face and reminded the maids.
As soon as the words fell.
Those maids still went their own way, dumping all the dishes into the bucket.
Only then did they look up and gently care:
"Miss, did you say something just now?"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing held her little hands, looking at them blankly.
Her face turned pale and she shook her head.
"Then this servant will retreat, Miss, remember to call me if you need anything."
The maid bowed and slowly retreated.
Zhu Zhuqing covered her stomach with incomprehension in her eyes, and slowly walked out of the hall.
The passing servants were the same as before.
They would salute and greet her.
Everyone seemed to have not changed, but also seemed to have changed.
They were still so respectful, their faces full of gentleness, but it made her feel scared.
"Is this the competition my sister was talking about? But I don't want this..."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes contained tears.
The more she saw those smiling faces, the more scared she felt, and she hurriedly walked towards her mother's room.
I wish you all a happy life!
