Chapter Fifty-Four: Promoted Again

  Just as Wei Luo was about to speak up, this princess left her, smiling and saying: "Let's go!"

  Weiduo hastily agreed and followed her to the study room with his head down.

  In a short while, the group arrived at the door of the study. As soon as the princess got here, her round and bright face lit up, she burst into a brilliant smile, pushed aside the beaded curtain, and skipped inside. Through the beaded curtain, Wei Luo could see that she ran straight to the side of Prince Jingling, pulled his sleeve, leaned against him, chattering away, laughing like a spring flower.

  The Prince of Jingling listened and listened, then raised his head to look at Wei Luo. His eyes, like a mysterious night sky, showed a hint of thoughtfulness, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hidden smile. As soon as Wei Luo met his gaze, she quickly lowered her head: what the princess had just said to the Prince of Jingling was exactly what she had discussed with him earlier. From the moment she opened her mouth, Wei Luo knew this moment would come.

  However, Wei Luo was still very nervous. The princess had touched and sniffed her earlier, especially that last smile at herself, thinking about it made her feel eerie, and she didn't know if the princess had seen through her disguise or suspected something.

  The princess chattered excitedly, hooked the arm of the Gongling young master, and pressed her full chest against him, rubbing it hard as she laughed with an exceptionally clear and crisp voice like a silver bell. "Eighth brother has good eyesight, this child is really interesting!"

  The young master of Jingling smiled faintly and raised his head to stare at the door curtain, shouting: "Come in!"

  Wei Luo quietly responded with a "yes" and walked in with her head lowered. Although she didn't call out his name, among the several people outside the door, only she was qualified to enter the study.

  Wei Luo walked lightly to the left side of Jingling Gongzi, bowed deeply and respectfully called out: "Wei Luo has seen the young master."

  Jingling Gongzi raised his eyes to look at her, and the intangible pressure revealed by his gaze, which seemed to have substance, made Wei Luo's heart start trembling uncontrollably again. This irregular heartbeat made her chest feel suffocated.

  Looking at her, Jingling Gongzi smiled shallowly: "Coarse stone? In Wei Luo's eyes, what am I and what is the princess?"

  Wei Luo was taken aback.

  He actually asked himself what he was comparable to in his own eyes, and what the princess was comparable to. This didn't seem like a question that the normally confident and majestic Prince of Jingling should be asking.

  Wei Luo, still dazed, replied in a clear voice with his hands clasped together: "The young master is extraordinary and noble, he must be the dragon from heaven; the princess is breathtakingly beautiful, she must be the phoenix from heaven."

  This answer is indeed proper and regular, shouldn't it be correct?

  Jingling Gongzi was not satisfied with this answer, he stared at her and noticed that the small hand placed on her leg was trembling slightly, smiled and asked: "You are a proud person, why are you afraid of me to this extent?"

  Wei Luo was taken aback: Am I usually arrogant?

  She blinked, unable to understand where she had shown arrogance. She didn't know that the idea of equality for all, at least equal to any dignitary, which flowed from her bones, had unknowingly influenced her behavior.

  Wei Luo couldn't understand so she stopped thinking about it. She carefully replied: "Young Master has the power of thunder, this humble person is afraid!"

  This horse's buttocks should be photographed well, right?

  Wei Luo was just thinking this when Jingling Gongzi coldly said: "You're all talk and no action!"

  He spoke in a light tone, though cold, his voice was as casual as everyday conversation. This ordinary and simple tone, however, was like a thunderclap that made Wei Luo's eyes turn black, and cold sweat poured down from her back, forehead, and behind her ears. In just an instant, her thick clothes were soaked with sweat, and her heartbeat had reached its limit.

  Wei Luo took a step back, his knees softened, and he almost fell to his knees, begging for mercy.

  The Duke of Jingling stared tightly at her, staring at her panic and unease, his eyes as if they had substance, layer upon layer of pressure covering her body, not relaxing in the slightest!

  At this time, the princess had already placed her hands on her knees, obediently kneeling to one side, looking a bit tense and also somewhat pleased as she gazed at Wei Luo, waiting for her reaction.

  In extreme panic, with his heart racing rapidly, Wei Luo took a deep breath and finally found his voice.

  She took another step back, this one more stable and composed than the last.

  Weiluo didn't notice, but seeing this scene, the corner of Jingling Gongzi's mouth rose again, and even the princess herself leaned slightly forward, looking at Weiluo with a hint of astonishment - Jingling Gongzi's prestige was something that ordinary nobles couldn't withstand, let alone a humble little child? Moreover, Jingling Gongzi was still deliberately showing off his power now, and it was likely that throughout the entire state of Jin, except for his father the marquis, other princes would also go weak in the knees upon seeing him.

  Wei Luo took another deep breath and retreated three steps back.

  After taking a step back, she regained her composure. Wei Luo bowed deeply and said in a loud voice: "Rain, dew, thunder, all are the power of heaven. The young master's frown and anger are also the power of heaven to me. The young master's authority is granted by heaven, many people fear him, how can I be blamed for speaking the truth?"

  I compare you to the heavens, your joys and anger to the rain, dew, thunder and lightning of heaven. Such flattery, shouldn't you be delighted and pleased?

  Besides, with someone like Gongzi Jingling being naturally majestic and awe-inspiring, there should be many people who are intimidated by him. It's impossible that he would have noticed me in this aspect!

  Wei Luo thought to herself, took a deep breath and continued in a clear voice: "A humble person like me is also eager to get close to the young master to gain wealth and honor. However, my heart is really small, whenever I'm near the young master, I become so frightened that I can't even breathe, trembling with fear, not at all like my usual self. I'm truly afraid that if this continues, I'll end up making a mistake because of my cowardice and bring disaster upon myself."

  She spoke very clearly, she was timid and would become flustered whenever she approached the Duke of Jingling. She was afraid that if she continued like this, she would make a mistake and lose her life. That's why she had been avoiding him, shouldn't he be satisfied with that? Hmm, I've said it, maybe when he hears it, he'll think it makes sense and send me far away from him.

  Weiduo lowered his head and honestly waited for the reaction of the Duke of Jingling.

  After a while, the young master of Jingling finally nodded and said "En", Wei Luo listened intently with expectation. He looked at her with a hint of a smile and said in a warm voice: "Good. Although the child is not outstanding, he knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what can and cannot be done. From today on,"

  Wei Luo's ears perked up at this point, and her breathing also unconsciously held still.

  The low and magnetic voice of the Duke of Jingling came slowly, "Wei Luo is my personal attendant, and it's okay to follow me in my daily life!"

  Bang!

  What is meant by "ups and downs"? This is it!

  What is falling from the cloud? This is it!

  What is unbearable pain? This is it!

  Under the intense contrast, Wei Luo could no longer hold on and with a loud "thud", she fell heavily to the ground in a dazed state, her butt facing downwards.

  In the midst of the loud noise, everyone turned their heads to look over, and Jingling Gongzi was no exception. When he saw Wei Luo sitting on the ground with a stunned expression, her small face pale, her eyes wide and unfocused, and her mouth twitching in pain, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  A loud and clear laughter echoed continuously in the hall.

  Jingling Gongzi's smile made everyone turn their heads again, looking at him in surprise - this young master was smiling, but it was mostly a fake smile, when did he ever laugh so heartily? The princess was even more stunned, staring at her eighth brother, unable to move her eyes away for a long time.
