Chapter 30: The Young Marquis Who is Blind yet Clear-Headed (18)

“Yes, I’ll go.” Tian Miao responded straightforwardly. Then she also got up and said, “I’ll go change my clothes, and then I’ll head out with the Young Marquis to buy some things.”

“Good, buy more,” Princess Yong An smiled and said. Over the past few days, she’d come to see that this Miss Tian was a lover of good food and fine wine, brocades, and finery, as well as exquisite jewelry. The people of the clan of divine operators really know how to enjoy themselves.

Tian Miao took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped. She turned her head to look at Princess Yong An.

Princess Yong An was puzzled. “Miss Tian, is there something else?”

“Princess, you know what?” Tian Miao looked directly into Princess Yong An’s eyes. Her voice suddenly sounded very distant and airy as she said, “Heaven is always fair.”

After saying this, Tian Miao turned around again and left, leaving Princess Yong An standing in the same spot with a bewildered look on her face.

What did it mean? What did it mean for Miss Tian to suddenly say something like that?

It wasn’t until Tian Miao left that Princess Yong An truly understood the meaning of these words.

…

This day, when Tian Miao and Xiao Anning returned, there were two people with them. A man and a woman. They were both outstanding looking people with fine clothes, and each had an extraordinary presence.

“These two are?” Princess Yong An asked, puzzled. The man and woman stood respectfully behind Tian Miao without saying a single word. Could they also be from the clan of divine operators?

Tian Miao smiled and replied, “My attendants. You can give them everything that I’ve bought over the past few days.”

“Good.” Princess Yong An was feeling nothing short of amazement inside. Previously, she’d thought that the clan of divine operators were just fond of enjoyment, but now she was afraid to say that they were also judgmental and obsessed with appearances. Even her two attendants were really good-looking.

Only Xiao Anning knew that these two people had appeared out of nowhere. Soundlessly and out of thin air, they had appeared beside Tian Miao. Then, together, they had followed Tian Miao back here. He was no longer shocked by this kind of thing, as he’d completely gotten used to any kind of magical events that happened to Tian Miao. Anyway, Tian Miao wasn’t an ordinary person.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess resided in the Eastern Palace, so they naturally had to enter the palace to attend the flower appreciation banquet. Tian Miao and Princess Yong An sat in the same carriage and went to the Eastern Palace together.

Many high officials and dignitaries had already arrived at the Eastern Palace. The moment Princess Yong An arrived, many people turned to look in her direction. But most were looking at the person next to her. News that the Young Marquis had been saved by someone from the clan of divine operators had long become a hot topic of discussion and had caused quite a hubbub in the capital. Many people hadn’t seen what Tian Miao really looked like, so, at today’s opportunity, they of course all looked over at her.

When they got a clear look at the appearance of the person beside Princess Yong An, they all gasped. Did people of the clan of divine operators all look so stunning, or was it just this lady? With looks like hers, it wasn’t even an exaggeration to say that her beauty could cause the fall of a city and state.

At this time, Ji Liruo, who was standing not too far away, was looking over at them with a somewhat sad expression on her face. There was a handsome young man with thick, well-shaped brows standing next to her. The blue, caramel-colored embroidered robe that he wore identified who he was. He was none other than the son of the Crown Prince, the grandson of the Emperor, His Highness, Liu Ming.

“Sister Ji, you don’t have to worry. That woman may be beautiful, but Xiao Anning is blind, so he can’t appreciate her beauty,” Liu Ming comforted her softly. When the Prime Minister had yet to become the Prime Minister, he had once served as the tutor of Liu Ming, who was the Emperor’s grandson. Liu Ming had frequently visited the Prime Minister’s residence on the basis of seeking advice, so he’d naturally gotten acquainted with Ji Liruo, who’d also been under the Prime Minister’s tutelage. They were close to each other like brother and sister.

Ji Liruo saw Xiao Anning go to Tian Miao’s side the moment he arrived. He smiled and said something to Tian Miao that made Tian Miao smile. Ji Liruo’s expression became sadder. Looking at her, Liu Ming felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly said some words of comfort.
