"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 55

 Ji Ling Xue blinked at Xiao Yi Chen's palm, looking at Xiao Yi Chen in bafflement, "Prince, you haven't given me anything of yours..." What did he want with his hand out like that?

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, he was speechless towards Ji Ling Xue's misunderstanding. He took the initiative to grab Ji Ling Xue's hand and walked on, they were almost at the empress dowager's palace hall, in front of the elderly lady they had to be a loving couple.

Ji Ling Xue pulled on her hand, unfortunately Xiao Yi Chen was too strong, she could only allow him to pull her along. The warmth from his palm made Ji Ling Xue feel very uncomfortable from head to toe, she stared with hate at Xiao Yi Chen's back.

An elderly maid stood at the entrance of the empress dowager's palace hall, not a white hair out of place, from up on high she looked in the direction Ji Ling Xue came from, seeing the golden couple, a trace of relief appeared on the elderly maid's face.

Xiao Yi Chen nodded at the elderly maid: "Zhao momo, why did grandmother send you out here?"

Zhao momo was the empress dowager's personal maid, and was the maid who came with her when she married, she had spent her lifetime in the palace, all the princes in the palace even showed her a degree of respect.

Since the empress dowager had sent Zhao momo to meet them, showed greatly how much she like Ji Ling Xue.

Zhao momo smiled kindly, "Prince and princess have finally come, the empress dowager has been waiting anxiously, so she asked this old servant to come out and take a look." She then turned to Ji Ling Xue, "Long time no see princess, you're a lot skinnier than before..."

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her own cheeks, showing an awkward smile.

Ru Ge moved forward with quick steps, from time to time he lowered his head to look at the large sized embroidered shoes on his own feet and mocked himself, it was first time in his life to wear woman's clothes. The reason for this began this morning, Ji Ling Xue had introduced him to Mo Xiang, he still remembered it was Mo Xiang who had cured the poison in his body, and could be considered to have saved his life.

However Mo Xiang's gaze towards him was not kind, like she didn't want to be associated with him.

Ji Ling Xue said she needed to bring one of them into the palace with her, Ru Ge put his hand up as a volunteer, thus he was pushed to the sit in front of the dressing table by Mo Xiang, two hours later he was as he appeared now. Seeing Ji Yu Qing and her maid walking slowly and casually in front of him, Ru Ge looked inside a water jar to the side to appreciate his currently dolled up complexion, clicking his tongue and sighing at himself for not feeling ill at ease for dressing up as a woman, his eyebrows were black, skin white as snow, he would be able to captivate a group of men.

When Ru Ge had finished admiring himself, he no longer saw Ji Yu Qing or her maid, he slapped his forehead, oh no!

Ru Ge lifted his skirt running, the palace wasn't huge, but wasn't small either, after taking a few paths he couldn't see a single person. Ru Ge continued walking in a direction based on his instincts. 

There were movements in the flowering shrubs ahead, Ru Ge frowned, someone was hiding behind it.

He did not want to cause trouble in Dongqi palace, pretending to have noticed nothing he continued walking.

However before he got very far, a sharp blade was placed against his back, a voice said, "Take me to Guanghua palace hall."

Ru Ge's lips twitched, rolling his eyes to the sky, he wasn't a palace maid how was he supposed to know the way?

Seeing Ru Ge wasn't moving, the person behind him seemed impatient, the dagger in their hand moved an inch further, "Quickly let's go."

Ru Ge raised his hands high and slowly turned his head, the next moment he nimbly grabbed the hand the other person was holding the dagger with, with a turn he opened their hand, the dagger fell to the ground, at the same time lying on the floor was a man in an eunuch outfit.

Ru Ge patted his hands of imaginary dust, pinching his chin he assessed the unconscious eunuch's face, that unshaven stubbly face looked so unsightly.

Ru Ge: "An uncastrated eunuch..."
