Chapter 1520: In 1519, Monica appears again

Tan Rou wouldn’t say these words to Samiyi. No matter how good their relationship was, she would not take the risk. Although they were good friends, their positions and concepts were different.

For example, let’s say Samiyi’s family had dozens of tons of gold, which should belong to all the people of country J. But Samiyi’s family kept all the gold hidden and wouldn’t let anyone else have any.

At that time, Tan Rou appeared and advised as a friend that Samiyi should share the gold with everyone. Would Samiyi agree? No, Samiyi would only think that Tan Rou was jealous her family had gold.

“This is an internal problem of their country; let them solve it themselves,” Zhuang Liu told Tan Rou not to meddle, “Once you cure the King, we will go home.”

Tan Rou agreed, “Okay.”

As they walked, Tan Rou suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. It was no wonder Tan Rou recognized her; the woman had left a deep impression on her.

...

“Wait!” Tan Rou stopped Zhuang Liu, “Let’s go there later. I just saw someone familiar.”

Zhuang Liu thought Tan Rou had seen a friend, “Your friend?”

But Tan Rou smiled and said, “Just a clown. There, the woman with the golden hat.”

Zhuang Liu looked in the direction she pointed and saw a very lavishly dressed woman at the cafe entrance. This woman was very flamboyant. Why say that? Because she needed a red carpet laid out wherever she walked.

“That woman is Monica, whom I met once before at the palace,” Tan Rou introduced her, “She is the king’s cousin’s … I don’t know which number wife. She’s always high-profile and very arrogant.”

Zhuang Liu asked, “Has she offended you?”

“Yes.” Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about what happened at the palace gate, “So at the princess’s poetry gathering, I made a fool of her. She probably guessed it was my doing, but she had no evidence and couldn’t settle accounts with me.”

After listening, Zhuang Liu smiled at Tan Rou, “Do you feel relieved now?”

Zhuang Liu’s words reminded Tan Rou, “Right. After making a fool of her, I completely forgot about her. Afterwards, Samiyi wouldn’t allow her into the palace, and I didn’t have a chance to see her, so I couldn’t trouble her again.”

Zhuang Liu said, “Now, you have a chance.”

The two exchanged a smile, and Tan Rou pulled Zhuang Liu, quickly catching up.

Usually, Tan Rou wouldn’t waste time on Monica, but today was different. She had already told Samiyi that she would stay until evening before returning home. Since she had nothing else to do, why not give Monica a little trouble?

“Monica’s husband is locked up by the King,” Tan Rou whispered to Zhuang Liu: “But she is leisurely enough to go out for coffee.”

Monica was heading to a high-end coffee house, beautifully decorated on the outside; the inside must be no different.

“Perhaps she is here to meet a friend,” said Zhuang Liu.

“I am curious about what kind of friend she would meet here,” said Tan Rou. “Samiyi told me that Monica’s background isn’t good. Her parents are just ordinary workers, not nobles. Even her degree doesn’t have much shine. She didn’t even attend college, so she is not popular within noble circles.”

“No wonder she makes such a spectacle. The more insecure people are, the more they seek other’s attention and approval,” Zhuang Liu said. “With such a high-profile style of doing things, this princess likely wants to prevent others from looking down on her.”

“If she wants to be respected, she should strive to enhance her inner beauty, rather than relying on external adornments,” Tan Rou said. “She’s gone inside. Let’s also take a look. The coffee in J country is quite good; I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee.”

Zhuang Liu liked sweet things and seldom drank such beverages like bitter coffee, “Uh … add more sugar for me?”

Tan Rou smiled, “Then I’ll ask the waiter to bring the sugar bowl to you, and you can add as much as you want.”

Zhuang Liu said, “Okay.”

Tan Rou just said it casually but didn’t expect Zhuang Liu to really do it. Oh well, if he likes sugar, let him eat more. When he’s older, he might not be able to eat it.
