Chapter 372 The Imperial Family
Xi Yu could tell that Luo Xiuqi's tone actually carried a hint of sarcasm. Not only did she notice it, but even Yue Zhengshuang could hear it.
"What do you mean?! My sister has a pass with her! And we're not here as royalty!" Yue Zheng Shuang was like a cat with its fur standing on end, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.
Xi Yu was a little confused. Princess, royal family...?
Luo Xiuqi, ever understanding, explained to Xi Yu, "You haven't met any members of our empire's royal family yet, have you? Come, come, this lovely lady before you is our empire's second princess, Princess Yue Zhengshuang!"
Feeling deeply humiliated by Luo Xiuqi's introduction, Yue Zhengshuang puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
"You are the princess of the empire?" Xi Yu was very surprised. No wonder she always felt that Le Zheng Shuang's temperament was different from ordinary people, and she naturally had a faint air of nobility.
"Yes!" Yue Zhengshuang turned her face away in a huff. She hated it most when people used her identity to make a fuss!
In this militaristic empire, the royal family occupies an extremely awkward position; they are merely a symbolic presence of the empire and have no real power.
They enjoy superior treatment, but in reality, they are no different from ordinary people, not even as good as the ten major families.
The power of the ten major families can still influence the military's decisions, but the royal family has no say and can only personally preside over the ceremony when the marshal ascends the throne.
Like Yue Zhengshuang, she only had the title of princess, but she attended only an ordinary aristocratic school and was not surrounded by a large group of bodyguards.
"Don't call me Princess! Just call me Xiao Shuang!" Yue Zheng Shuang quickly reminded Xi Yu before she could speak.
Xi Yu smiled knowingly: "I never intended to call you that, Xiao Shuang."
In the future, a thousand years from now, the royal family will no longer exist.
After the empire unified the entire continent, it abolished even the royal family.
Xi Yu didn't know how Yan San viewed the imperial family, but he definitely loved Le Zhengshuang from the bottom of his heart.
Who knows how the royal family will come to its demise?
"So, Your Highness, your elder sister went to see the Chief of Staff again, didn't she?" Mo Xiuqi smiled, his eyes narrowed, though it was a question, he was actually quite certain.
Le Zheng Shuang pursed her lips and nodded. She didn't know why Luo Xiuqi disliked her sister so much. Her sister was so beautiful and elegant, and her reputation was no less than that of the number one beauty, An Ying.
Mo Xiuqi chuckled and spread his hands: "Then I can imagine that Sister Mo will be busy again. Every time your royal sister comes, she asks the chief of staff for help, and the chief of staff asks Sister Mo for help!"
"It wasn't me who asked her to help, she didn't have to!" Yue Zhengshuang didn't understand Mo Xiuqi's anger and just argued.
Mo Xiuqi sighed again, then walked away with his hands behind his back, shaking his head, ignoring the bewildered Yue Zhengshuang.
"Always so sarcastic, it's so annoying!" Yue Zhengshuang made a childish face.
Xi Yu seemed to have picked up on something, and she asked casually, "Is your sister acquainted with Fu Baili?"
“Of course, they’ve known each other since school!” Yue Zheng Shuang quickly said, “Fu Baili is so good to you, sister! He even gave you the pass that allows you to enter and leave the legion!”
Judging from Mo Xiuqi's attitude, Fu Baili must like this first princess, right?
Xi Yu thought to herself, recalling the tenderness that Mo Qinglan couldn't help but show when she mentioned Fu Baili, and she couldn't help but sigh.
