Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Chapter 726: It’ll Definitely be Interesting In Pale Emperor City this Year

“They don’t care that I’m like this, while the people in Prince Zi’s residence are so full of themselves.” The witch doctor was completely aware of this.

The people living in the Gu house were all skilled craftsmen. The food made by the cook was very delicious, the place bustled with music and song, and everyone had their own skills; it was a very enjoyable life.

She also got leg massages that were better than what most maids could do.

The witch doctor had been part of a noble family in her youth. Once she lost her eyes, however, she lived a lonely and bitter life, and was neglected and jeered at. If she hadn’t been immensely strong, she would have long been killed off.

Now, a whole bunch of people from the bottom rungs of society, who were frequently bullied outside, were living together under one roof. Nobody had the right to look down on anyone else in the Gu house, and they all lived more freely.

Gu Bailu smiled. “That’s great. Everyone should be like the Gu family.”

Gu Bailu thought that since she couldn’t change the world right now, she could at least change the Gu house first.

Also, it was almost the end of the year. She had invited all the artisans from Pale Emperor City to the Gu house. Most of the fabrics and daily necessities on the market were about to be used up.

She was waiting for the nobles in Pale Emperor City to celebrate the new year.

When they wanted new clothes, there would be no embroiderers. When they wanted to buy daily necessities, there would be no one to send them over… When they wanted to listen to music to relieve their boredom, there wouldn’t even be any storytellers in the teahouses, let alone musicians.

When they wanted to eat street snacks, there would be none.

The noble families looked down on people with low spiritual power, so they didn’t keep embroiderers and wouldn’t spend huge amounts of money to hire chefs, let alone employ gardeners or whatnot.

Gu Bailu was looking forward to the new year. At the very least, all of Pale Emperor City’s opera troupes were in her house.

“Did you employ them?” the witch doctor asked curiously.

“That’s right.”

The witch doctor was shocked. “How much would that cost?”

“They’re definitely worth far more than the money I spent. I’ll make back ten times the amount,” said Gu Bailu confidently.

The witch doctor sneered. “Your man was willing to let you act so recklessly?”

She clearly didn’t believe that a bunch of commoners could make any money; they could only make enough to support their families.

Gu Bailu thought too highly of them.

“My man loves me,” said Gu Bailu shamelessly.

“You may be blessed with good fortune, but your body isn’t in good shape. You may not be able to give birth to this baby.” The witch doctor frowned.

She found Gu Bailu interesting. She and Feng Qingtian were an enviable couple, but unfortunately… it seemed they had broken heaven’s laws; they would have to go through many things in order to live well.

“I’ll find a way. Witch doctor, can you help me?” Gu Bailu knew her own body.

She had never regretted taking the pill, but she couldn’t watch herself die in labor. In any case, she still had time.

“You’re quite open-minded, but I can’t think of anything right now.”

“It’s fine. You can take your time to think about it. There are still a few months to go. Rest for a bit now. I’ll have someone call for you tonight.”

The witch doctor nodded, and Gu Bailu led her to the room that had been arranged for her.

Lu Fenying had been invited to the royal palace by Southern Glory’s emperor today, so he hadn’t been around during the day.

Mo Qian’er actually wasn’t confident about what would happen that night.

After spending so many years with Lu Fenying, it wasn’t that she had never seen him angry before. On the contrary, she had seen him get angry often; it was just that he never showed his anger on his face.
