Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War

Third person POV

A maid gently called her master, afraid that she would anger the bewitching woman that laid lazily on her golden soft sofa.

Maid: " Huang guifei, the participants for the Bride Selection had arrived at the Qingshui palace."

Li Zhenzhen's hand stopped after she heard what the maid said. Her hand slowly lowered down to her h.i.p.s as she stared intensely at the trembling maid. They could only hear the clinking sound from Li Zhenzhen's accessories on her fingers and hands.

Li Zhenzhen: " Xu Feihong, is she there?"

Li Zhenzhen slowly spoke with her seductive voice. The maid quickly responded to her knowing that the beautiful woman didn't like waiting.

Maid: " Yes, Huang guifei."

Li Zhenzhen hummed and slowly get off her sofa, the servants that were fanning beside her immediately put down the giant feather fan and quietly dashed to Li Zhenzhen's side. One of them slightly lifted up Li Zhenzhen's long train skirt and the other one offered her hand with a golden silk on top of her palm to Li Zhenzhen. Li Zhenzhen put her hand on the servant's palm and walked out of her chamber to Qingshui palace.

The teacher was teaching the participants about palace etiquette and how to walk gracefully and dignified. Some girls struggled walking with porcelain cup on top of their head and both of their shoulder, some of the girls kept dropping the cups and some of them doing pretty good as they had prepared themselves for this event. The number one talented girl in Da Chu, Li Qianzi, walked perfectly with a gentle smile on her face.

The teacher and her friends clapped their hands like a seal and complimented Li Qianzi to get a good side of her since she was the most suitable bride for the crown prince. At last, it was Hong er's turn to walk. Hong er's shoulders were trembling and her body was very stiff, the girls snickered when they saw how robotic Hong er walked. After a few step, the cup on Hong er's right shoulder slowly slide down, Hong er immediately moved up her right shoulder and it caused the left shoulder's cup to fall. Hong er instantly moved her head to look at the fallen cup and the cup on her head and her right shoulder fell.

The girls instantly giggled when they saw Hong er panicked and lowered her head down. The teacher sighed looked at Hong er disappointedly but in her heart she was very happy that Hong er failed. She wanted her beloved student Li Qianzi to be chosen as the bride and no one could compare to her beloved student. Her name would rise if Li Qianzi became an Empress, she would be recognized as the Empress's teacher and probably would be given prize by Li Qianzi for doing her job really good. That's why she had treated Li Qianzi very kindly and with courtesy.

Teacher: " Miss Xu, you have to practice your walk everyday. Do you hear me?"

Hong er: " Yes, teacher."

Hong er bowed her head and timidly walked back to her line with her head lowered down. The girls were looking at her scornfully when she passed in front of them, even though Hong er acted like this, inside her heart she was bored and careless about whatever others talked about her. In fact, she was very good at balancing because when she was training with Xu Tingfeng, there was a test that Hong er quite struggled in. She had to block and avoid every attack coming to her way with a small cup of water on top of her head. If the water in the cup spilled before the times up, she would be punished to do the devastating warm up for two set without a rest. This walking thingy was a piece of crumb for Hong er.

Since she stood at the last of the line and the nearest to the door, the eunuch outside the door suddenly shouted.

Eunuch: " Huang guifei enter the hall."

The girls immediately turned their head towards the door and scurried to the side, they bent their knee and elegantly greeted Li Zhenzhen.

Girls: " Greeting to Huang guifei."

Li Zhenzhen slowly stepped inside the hall and hummed without looking at them. Her eyes stayed on the tall girl with a white attire that was looking down at her boots. The teacher rushed to Li Zhenzhen's side to greet Li Zhenzhen.

Teacher: " Greeting to Huang guifei."

The teacher perfectly greeted Li Zhenzhen and guided her into the hall. But Li Zhenzhen raised her hand to stop the teacher.

Li Zhenzhen: " No need."

Teacher: " Ah-hahaha, this lowly one apologize for being braze."

Li Zhenzhen: " Hm."

The teacher was irked by Li Zhenzhen's nonchalant answer but she didn't dare to reprimand LiZhenzhen as she was the emperor's favorite consort. If Li Zhenzhen say a word about her being disrespectful, she and her whole family would be killed in a night.

Li Zhenzhen slowly walked towards Hong er with her h.i.p.s swaying side to side, she stopped in front of Hong er and looked at her mask. Hong er noticed that Li Zhenzhen was staring intensely at her, she properly greeted Li Zhenzhen and didn't look up to her.

Hong er: " Greeting to Huang guifei."

Li Zhenzhen: " Hm. Raise your head."

Hong er slowly raised er head and directly look at Li Zhenzhen's eyes with her golden eyes. Li Zhenzhen had acted tough all the time but the moment her eyes met with Hong er's golden eyes, she flinched and her blood slowly started to boil. She forced out a gentle motherly smile and patted Hong er's hand.

Li Zhenzhen: " Are you Xu Feihong?"

Hong er: " Replying to Huang guifei. Yes I am."

Li Zhenzhen: " Can you take off your mask?"

The girls' ears instantly peaked when Li Zhenzhen mentioned Hong er's mask.

Hong er: " My apologies Your Highness, I had make an oath in front of Goddess of Light's statue to not let people outside my family see my face."

Li Zhenzhen held Hong er's hand tighter.

Li Zhenzhen: " Even if I will be your mother in law?"

Hong er smiled with her eyes and gently replied to Li Zhenzhen.

Hong er: " We don't know the future, Your Highness."

Li Zhenzhen released Hong er's hand and turned around while staring intently at Hong er over her shoulder.

Li Zhenzhen: " Let see."

Li Zhenzhen walked out of the hall with her servants' face as pale as paper. The teacher immediately ran to Hong er and scolded her.

Teacher: " Audacious! How dare you talk like that to Her highness!"

Hong er turned her eyes to the teacher and directly looked at her with her bright golden eyes. The teacher's face immediately paled and coughed into her fist before she scurried away from Hong er.

Teacher: ' How can you be so stupid?! Don't forget that her father is Great General Xu. he would kill me if I make his daughter cry.'

Li Qianzi had been glaring at Hong er since Li Zhenzhen patted her hand. Most people were afraid of her because she got her aunt ( Huang guifei/ Li Zhenzhen) on her back. So she indirectly showed off her aunt to other people and when they heard that Li Zhenzhen was her aunt, they would immediately surround her and praised her. But today, in front of her friends and other Young Misses, Li Zhenzhen didn't even bat an eye on her and only came to take a look at Hong er. The worse thing was that Li Zhenzhen treated Hong er as her daughter in law, even Li Zhenzhen never treated Li Qianzi like that. Her friends would think that she was only bluffing around about her close relationship with Li Zhenzhen. Her nails dug into her skin as blood slowly oozed out, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Li Qianzi: " Xu Feihong! I will defeat you!'

Hong er looked back down to her shoes as the bad feeling kept passing through her heart.

Hong er: ' Sheng ge, I miss you.'
