Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Charity Institute was located on Furong Street in the center of the imperial capital. There was a lot of traffic here to begin with. Coupled with the free porridge given by the Charity Institute today, it attracted a large number of beggars to line up, making the Charity Institute look like a marketplace. It was even livelier than usual.
Huo Zhao locked onto Yu Linlang’s figure in the bustling crowd.
Yu Linlang changed her previous outfit of a rich young lady. She didn’t have any makeup on her face, but she was beautiful, fresh, and refined. She was wearing a light blue cotton dress, and her hair was nonchalantly rolled up with a wooden hairpin. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing half of her tender lotus root-like arm. She was smiling as she scooped porridge for a dirty beggar child.
A beam of sunlight in the sky shone on Yu Linlang, making the surrounding passers-by praise her.
“Miss Yu is really beautiful and kind. She even cooked the porridge herself. How many rich young ladies can do this?”
“But didn’t Miss Yu just lose her status? Everyone knows about her and the prince. Who doesn’t know that she seduced her cousin’s fiance?”
“Don’t say that. Prince Zhao has loved Miss Yu for many years. Miss Yu has just been deliberately avoiding suspicion. She might have been framed by someone with ulterior motives last time.”
“I also think that Miss Yu is a good lady. Otherwise, why wouldn’t ordinary ladies come to do good deeds and hold a Charity Institute?”
“Miss Yu is just from a humble background. She’s beautiful and talented. She’s a match made in heaven with Prince Zhao.”
Every time Huo Zhao heard praise, his love for Yu Linlang increased a little. He walked over quickly.
Yu Linlang had long discovered Huo Zhao. When she saw him coming, she took the opportunity and slipped.
Huo Zhao hurriedly rushed forward and held Yu Linlang steadily.
“Be careful. Linlang, your body is weak to begin with. Don’t force yourself. 1’11 bring you to rest.” Huo Zhao’s eyes were filled with heartache.
“Yes, 1’11 listen to you, Your Highness.” Yu Linlang nodded gently.
As soon as the two of them walked into the hall, the others from the Charity Institute left.
Huo Zhao took the tea made by the servant and handed it to Yu Linlang. “Linlang, it’s been hard on you to establish the Charity Institute recently. 1 specially got my subordinates to make your favorite tea for you. Try it quickly. Let me tell you, your efforts weren’t in vain. The matter of the Charity Institute has already reached the ears of the Empress Dowager. When 1 entered the palace today, the Empress Dowager specially sent me over and asked me to bring you to the palace to pay your respects.”
Because of what had happened previously, the Empress Dowager had always disliked Yu Linlang. Fortunately, the matter of the Charity Institute had reached her ears. She was very satisfied with this move, so she changed her attitude and was willing to see Yu Linlang.
He believed that the Empress Dowager would definitely like Linlang since she was so gentle and lovable. She would definitely be doted on in the future.
“I only wanted to help those poor people back then. 1 didn’t expect the Empress Dowager to agree with me. I’m really too happy.” Yu Linlang returned the teacup Huo Zhao brought and said shyly, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Highness, but I can’t drink this strong tea now.”
Huo Zhao’s heart immediately rose to his throat. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
“I’m indeed not feeling well, but this time, it’s not a bad thing, but a joyous occasion.” Yu Linlang saw that Huo Zhao had been looking at her in confusion, and her ears turned red from shyness. She said in a small voice, “Your Highness is bad.. Do I have to make it so clear for you to understand?”
