HRPM – Chapter 427 The Intentionally Malicious Accommodation Arrangement

“What’s the point of having such a huge palace?” Xiao Yu said dismissively. “It’s so empty. You could walk around for ages without reaching the end. Living in a place like this would feel uncomfortable.”

Jin Luoluo shot him a sidelong glance.

“What blatant class privilege. You princes, who’ve grown up taking this kind of luxury for granted, will never understand the dreams of ordinary people who long for a lavish life. I’m officially despising you for complaining despite having it so good.”

The steward in charge of the imperial residence had already come personally to welcome them and had everything prepared for their stay.

Jin Luoluo and Xiao Che were assigned to the Chaoyang Palace in the eastern wing.

Xiao Yu and Muyun were assigned to Xiaoyun Palace.

Xiao Luo and Zhao Lin were assigned to Jingyue Palace.

As for Yang Ruoyao and Bulaya, they were assigned to Luoxing Palace.

Everyone knew perfectly well that these arrangements had been made with a hidden agenda.

Jin Luoluo couldn’t help cursing inwardly.

Her Majesty the Empress really has gone to a lot of trouble.

But feelings weren’t something that could simply be forced together.

All of the Empress’s careful planning was bound to be wasted.

Muyun was overjoyed.

“This is wonderful, Brother Yu! We’re staying together!”

Being so close means I’ll get to see Brother Yu’s sleeping face before anyone else every day.

Just thinking about living so near the person she liked made her heart race wildly.

Black lines appeared across Xiao Yu’s forehead.

“We’re not staying together,” he corrected. “We’re just staying in the same palace.”

If Jin Luoluo and Xiao Che had actually been made to share the same quarters…

He probably would have gone mad.

“How about I switch places with Yang Ruoyao?”

Jin Luoluo kindly suggested this to Xiao Che.

Of course, she wasn’t really being considerate of Xiao Che’s feelings.

She simply couldn’t stand the thought of living with that jinx. Seeing him every time she stepped outside would drive her crazy.

It would be much better to give them the opportunity to start an affair.

The bigger the scandal, the better.

If it reached the Emperor’s ears, she’d have one more bargaining chip to use when breaking off the engagement.

“No need,” Xiao Che replied coldly.

“Since this is how it’s been arranged, don’t make unnecessary trouble.”

Although he knew she didn’t care about his relationship with Ruoyao…

She was still his fiancée.

Yet here she was, openly trying to match him with another woman in front of everyone.

It infuriated him.

She really was completely heartless.

With a snort, Xiao Che headed toward Chaoyang Palace in the eastern wing.

Seeing how coldly he treated her, Yang Ruoyao felt deeply wronged.

Even so, she revealed nothing on her face and quietly followed the maids toward Luoxing Palace in the opposite direction.

After everyone else had left, Xiao Luo looked around to make sure no one was nearby.

Then he turned to Jin Luoluo and said,

“Luoluo… shall we take a walk in the garden?”
