I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 237: The People in the Palace Know to Have Fun 1

“Stand down, all of you, stand down. His Majesty doesn’t need your guards. All of you, stand down!”

Outside the door, Wang Shougui chased away the royal guards who had rushed over to protect Emperor. Although the royal guards didn’t understand what this eunuch was up to, they still left one after another.

The atmosphere in Serenity Hall was somewhat silent. The two palace maids serving at the side didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. They also didn’t know what was going on the second floor.

Jiang Beiran first glanced at Mu Yao. Seeing her turn her head guiltily, he shouted to the second floor, “Come out.”

But there was no movement on the second floor. This made Jiang Beiran think of Yin Jianghong’s appearance when he came in looking for Mu Yao not long ago.

So Jiang Beiran also raised his tones and said, “Why? Do you need me to go up and invite you personally?”

“No, no, I’ll come out myself!”

This time, a muffled sound came from the sealed space on the second floor.

Soon, with a creak, the suitcase on the second floor was opened. Kong Qianqian raised her hands above her head and stood up shakily.

“What monkey business! Hurry up and come down.” Jiang Beiran shouted sternly.

Kong Qianqian, who was frightened, replied with a “Yes” and quickly stepped out of the suitcase. However, the palace dress on her body seemed to be hooked by something. In a moment of desperation, Kong Qianqian pulled hard and was about to walk down the stairs.

But in the next second, she heard a hiss. Kong Qianqian knew that something was wrong. She knew that the hem of her dress had been torn.

In an instant, ‘I have to check my dress’, ‘I have to go downstairs quickly’, ‘Sir’s expression is so scary’, and other thoughts surged into Kong Qianqian’s head, which overwhelmed his peanut-sized brain.

In the midst of her panic, she stumbled and rolled down the stairs like a tire.

However, Kong Qianqian was still a cultivator. After she rolled down the stairs, she quickly stabilized her body and kneeled in front of Jiang Beiran in a strange posture. Her butt... was a little high.

“Mister... Oh no, all hail to Your Majesty.”

“All hail my a*s...” Jiang Beiran cursed in his heart when he heard Kong Qianqian

Feeling that his forehead was full of black lines, Jiang Beiran let out a long sigh and said, “Can someone explain to me what’s going on?”

As soon as he said this, the palace maids waiting on both sides immediately kneeled down.

Meanwhile, Kong Qianqian quietly raised her face and looked at Mu Yao.

Mu Yao first patted her forehead, then looked carefully at Jiang Beiran and said, “Your Majesty, I secretly brought Qianqian here with me.”

“Do you have any idea what this place is?”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s arrogant voice, Mu Yao was also a little flustered, she lowered her head and explained, “I didn’t expect things to develop like this... I thought I was only here to have a trip, but father left me here.”

After hearing this reasonable reason, Jiang Beiran didn’t care how she secretly brought Kong Qianqian along and how she secretly hid her in this Serenity Palace.

He said directly, “Since that’s the case, let’s just drop the whole thing, but she has to go.”

Mu Yao’s heart tightened after hearing this. She was unfamiliar with this place. If Kong Qianqian was gone, then the only person she could communicate with would be Emperor, who she hated and feared.

Thus, Mu Yao made up her mind and bowed to Jiang Beiran. “Your Majesty... We can keep Qianqian in the palace too. She can become a palace maid.”

After saying that, she kept signaling Kong Qianqian with her eyes.

Kong Qianqian was not stupid this time, she quickly raised her body and put her palms together to beg Jiang Beiran. “Your Majesty, please keep me. Please keep me as your servant. I can be a palace maid. If you want to drink tea, I will never let you drink plain water.”

“You’re quite cooperative...”

Seeing Kong Qianqian begging him with all her strength, Jiang Beiran felt that he could keep this girl. Firstly, he could have an evidence of Mu Yao’s mischief behavior in his hands, which would make Mu Yao behave herself. Secondly, if he found a playmate for Mu Yao, she would not disturb him all the time.

It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

After making a decision in his heart, Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao and said, “Kong Qianqian can stay, but if she causes trouble, you have to bear the responsibility.”

Mu Yao didn’t expect Jiang Beiran to agree so readily. She was surprised and thanked him profusely, “Thank you, Your Majesty. Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep an eye on her.”

Kong Qianqian also said profusely, “Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so kind.”

Jiang Beiran waved his hand and said to Mu Yao, “Take her down and change her clothes. Also, teach her the rules of the palace. Let her know what to say and what not to say.”

“Yes.” Mu Yao said and left the hall with Kong Qianqian.

Not long after, Mu Yao returned with Kong Qianqian, who had already changed into her palace maid uniform.

One had to admit that the saying ‘dress make a lady’ made a lot of sense. Kong Qianqian wore a pink palace gown and had a head of fine black hair. It made her look gentle and beautiful, giving her a different style. It made people want to pinch her baby-fat little face.

Unfortunately, this kind of beauty only lasted for a moment. When Kong Qianqian found that Jiang Beiran was sizing her up, she gave him a silly smile. Even the cute dimples could not save her silly look.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran had shifted his gaze back to the book, Mu Yao gave Kong Qianqian a look. Kong Qianqian immediately nodded and stood behind Jiang Beiran.

Mu Yao quietly walked in front of Jiang Beiran and said, “Your Majesty, how do I...” Halfway through her words, Mu Yao seemed to have thought of something and quickly changed her words, “May I ask how can I become the grand chancellor with hairpin that you mentioned?”
