NOVPUBAs Shen Roujia made her way towards the side hall, Xiao Fu hurriedly followed, looking around cautiously.
“Your Highness...”
Startled, Shen Roujia quickly covered Xiao Fu’s mouth and pulled her into a room. Neither of them noticed that Xu Liangeng had seen the entire exchange from behind.
Unaware of this, Shen Roujia didn’t think much of it. Xiao Fu, noticing the red birthmark on Shen Roujia’s face, gently reached out to touch it with concern.
“Your Highness, you’ve suffered.”
Shen Roujia, slightly annoyed but amused, replied, “What are you talking about, silly girl? It’s just makeup.”
Xiao Fu, still looking at the birthmark that seemed so real, lightly rubbed it, and to her surprise, her fingertips were stained with red.
“This...”
Shen Roujia burst into laughter. “Gotcha, didn’t I?”
Outside the door, Xu Liangeng overheard everything. It was as if he had stumbled upon something unexpectedly delightful. He couldn’t believe that the Crown Princess could be so amusing.
Meanwhile, Shen Roujia remained completely unaware that her every move had been observed.
Once Shen Roujia had changed back into her own clothes and returned to the palace, everything seemed to return to normal.
Shen Roujia idly rubbed Little Black’s chubby belly as she flipped through the storybooks in front of her. “All the same, tsk.”
She had hired several writers, but it seemed they were merely imitating without capturing the essence of the stories.
Frustrated, Shen Roujia tossed the books aside just as she heard Xiao Fu’s hurried footsteps approaching.
