Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

His Majesty.

The day her parents left the imperial capital, she had chosen to stay behind.

Things had already escalated to such a level that she believed it could not get worse than this.

Her mother supported her decision too.

Then she learned that His Majesty and Her Highness frequented this particular imperial holiday home.

In a small stroke of good fortune, she managed to land a job in the place.

She had been staying here for close to a month, but had not seen so much as a shadow of the Emperor.
She was about to give up when the Emperor and Empress suddenly arrived today.

This was a great opportunity.

Unfortunately, the Emperor and Empress were practically glued to each other the entire day and she never got a chance to get near His Majesty.

Instead, her existence was discovered by the female guard.

She wondered if she should continue her endeavor or leave while she still could.

After a brief consideration, she decided that leaving was not an option.

She had planned this for so long and could not throw away her previous hard work.

There was no reason to give up her plans over that female guard.

She clenched her teeth, got up, and walked out the door.

She had to give it another go.
If she failed this time, she would just give up.

While Li Tong’er was making up her mind about betting it all in a single throw, Chu Jiu had brought the box of golden leaves back to the lakeside.

Lu Liangwei had realized quite late that Chu Jiu had left them.
When she saw Chu Jiu return, she asked curiously, “Jiu, where did you go?”

Chu Jiu said nothing but retrieved the box from her arms and passed it to Lu Liangwei.

Lu Liangwei took it and observed the exquisite box in her hand.
She was puzzled.
“Is this for me? What is it?”

“Open it and you’ll see, Your Highness,” Chu Jiu said without revealing anything.

Lu Liangwei opened the box.

It was filled with golden leaves which instantly caught Lu Liangwei’s attention.

Lu Liangwei blanked out for a while before turning to Chu Jiu.
“Where did you get these golden leaves from?”

Zhao Qian had inched closer to have a look for himself and he gaped at Chu Jiu with some astonishment.

Chu Jiu explained, “These are illegal goods that should be taken care of by you, Your Highness.”
