I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 14 Life is Thin as Paper
The second princess's mouth corners were slightly pale, and she looked sick.

The old lady looked at her coldly and said, "If you are not feeling well, go back."

The second princess seemed unaware of the old lady's dissatisfaction and just walked away in a daze.

It was the first time Yue Shu saw the Second Princess, who seemed to be a little too aloof. She was puzzled as to how a girl born to a favored concubine could be so bold.

Could it be because she is about to serve as the heir to the Tiger Demon King, and will become the noble Demon Queen in the future, and even thinks that the senior sister of the Yuhua Immortal Sect is not as good as herself, so she is becoming so arrogant now?
The eldest princess looked at the old lady's gloomy face and quickly said, "It's okay, my second sister is weak, but we still have five younger sisters!"

"Okay, you don't have to go to great lengths to do these things."

The old lady pointed at Yueyue and said with a smile: "My maid Yueyue has excellent craftsmanship. Her spiritual embroidery is one of the best in the palace. Just let her do it."

Yue Shu bowed slightly. The eldest princess looked at Yue Shu and said in confusion, "I haven't seen this palace maid before, have I? She is very beautiful. If I see her, I will definitely not forget her."

"She has only been in my room for a short time. She is a good, honest and sensible child who doesn't like to walk around. So I rarely let her go out to summon her."

The summoning work in the old lady's room is a job that the palace maids are willing to compete for to run errands and make money. After all, who in the palace would not want to curry favor with the palace maids in the old lady's room and give them some extra money?

Because Yueshu looked so honest, the old lady liked this little palace maid even more.

In fact, doesn’t Yue Shu want to make money?
She herself knew that this kind of quick money would definitely lead to serious accidents, so she had to keep her life safe.

The eldest princess naturally noticed that the old lady was very fond of the young palace maid, so she smiled and said to Yue Shu, "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's all part of my job. You don't have to be polite, Princess." Yue Shu said with lowered eyebrows.

At night, Yue Shu wanted to embroider those beads, but she didn't know what patterns to embroider. When the old lady found out, she asked her to go to the queen's palace for advice.

Yue Shu had no choice but to go to the queen's palace holding the night pearl. She saw the queen's palace, which was brightly illuminated by the night pearl even at night, as if it were daytime. Yue Shu couldn't help but be amazed.

After Yue Shu informed the palace maid, a senior palace maid beside the queen lifted the crystal curtain to greet her.

Walking in, Yue Shu saw that the palace was extremely luxurious. The palace curtains were all decorated with jewels, and there were also silk curtains hanging from the top, which was gorgeous and luxurious.

The queen was sitting in the room talking to the eldest princess. When she saw Yueshu coming in, she asked with a smile, "Your name is Yueyue, right? Why are you here?"

Yue Shu was surprised that the queen still remembered her name. After calming down, she told the queen the serious matter.

The queen nodded, and then asked someone to find some spiritual embroidery patterns for Yue Shu.

Yue Shu took a look and saw that they were all colorful pearls embroidered into the shapes of red corals or auspicious cloud patterns, so she made a note of them.

The eldest princess sat aside and looked at Yue Shu. She whispered something to the palace maid next to her, then smiled and said to Yue Shu,

"Did you embroider the dress the old lady is wearing today?"

“Although it is not much different from Yulu embroidery, the color and style are brighter and more spiritual.”

Yue Shu raised her head in surprise, nodded, and said, "I didn't expect that you, Princess, are so proficient in spiritual embroidery."

"She's just a girl, and she does some research." The eldest princess said with a smile.

When the maidservant beside the eldest princess came back, she took Yueshu's hand and stuffed the heavy purse into her hand.

Yue Shu looked frightened and didn't know what to do.

"Take it. Although I have never seen you before, mother knows that you care about the old lady, so I rewarded you." The eldest princess looked at the queen and smiled, then she also laughed, and asked the palace maid to send Yue Shu off.

After Yue Shu left, he told the queen, "The old lady is really good at educating people. She is not only very beautiful at such a young age, but also honest and dutiful. She knows how to act and act properly. She is a sensible person."

"The old lady is very clear in her mind. If she wasn't sensible, would she be able to come and serve you at such a young age just by relying on Lingxiu?"

The queen explained, and when she saw her daughter was silent, she whispered to comfort her,

"Don't worry too much about your marriage. The old lady and Long Jun both understand it."

The eldest princess said to the queen in a depressed mood,
"I only say this in front of you. Could it be that my father likes my second sister more and chose her over me?"

Tears as big as beans flowed down her face, and the princess continued with a look of grievance:
"I think that as the eldest sister, I am pretty good at what I do and how I conduct myself. If she were your biological daughter, I would definitely not be able to compare with her."

"But she and I are obviously half-sisters, why would father favor one over the other?"

"Is it because my mother passed away early and my second sister's mother is still with my father?"

The queen only gave birth to two sons, but no daughters. Although the eldest princess was born out of wedlock, she was raised by her side and loved like her own daughter.

Seeing her so sad, she felt bad too, so she comforted her:

"Silly child, how could this be possible?"

"Although you are not my biological child, I still love you."

"Your father is also an upright man, and he treats you two sisters equally."

"As for marrying the Tiger Demon King, being the Demon Queen may seem prestigious, but your father and I are not optimistic about it."

Seeing her daughter's puzzled expression, the queen said softly:

"The Demon King himself came to propose this marriage. For some reasons, your father couldn't refuse."

"But this marriage is indeed not possible. Your father and I originally thought that neither you nor your sister would agree to it."

"But it was your second sister's biological mother, Bai, who requested it herself. Your father saw that she was so proud and willing to push his own daughter into the furnace, and the second girl herself looked satisfied, so he agreed to the marriage."

"I didn't know there was such a thing."

Only after hearing what the queen said did the eldest princess stop crying.

"You little girls are not careful with your words. If I tell you, the news will spread to the demon world, and the demon king will inevitably be embarrassed."

The queen said gently,

"Besides, what good is this marriage? The demon king is already an old man, and he still needs someone to be his successor."

"You know there are so many beauties in the Demon King's palace. You are so young, you must not throw yourself into the fire."

As parents, they naturally love their daughter sincerely. However, when Long Junzheng was dealing with the Demon King, he saw Bai Shi eagerly jumping out to agree to the marriage, so he couldn't tell her to shut up.
