Chapter 315: Zhenzhen visits again!
Some of the ladies laughed. Mei Mei hid her face behind a pillow.
"Nobody should say another word." She said and pouted. "I definitely don’t want anyone saying something like this is why the Meilin list was created. I did not mean what about foolish blind love like the one I thought I was in when I run off. I meant....." She stopped her tirade and sighed. "You know what, I won’t ask anymore questions. Just point me to the bridal shop and let’s begin trying on those maid of honor dresses."
The butler walked to the entrance and cleared his throat and announced. "Miss Kang Zhenzhen is here."
Zhilan stood up and Mei Mei pulled her down.
"Isn’t she the next Empress?" Zhilan whispered.
Mei Mei shrugged. "Maybe or maybe not. Either way, she is not one yet so we don’t need to stand and curtsy. Just treat her like any other person for now."
Despite Mei Mei saying this, a lot of the ladies smiled a little more tensely than before. Madam Feng curtsied to Zhenzhen and she rushed away to the kitchen to bring her something to eat. Being in the good graces of a future Empress was not a bad place to find oneself.
"Zhenzhen..." Mei Mei called the young woman with a welcoming smile on her face. "I was not expecting to see you hear."
Zhenzhen smiled back at Mei Mei while looking at Zhilan and Jun Yi. The unvoiced message in her eyes was more than clear, she was expecting one of the two women to move so that she could sit next to Mei Mei.
Zhilan weighed her options. She was not the next Empress and she was not a Jun. Obviously, she was the one that needed to move, so she did.
