Xiao Yao was almost scared to death!
Someone else called her Li.
Xiao Yao turned her head and glared at the woman who rushed in front of her, her face full of confusion: "Who are you?"
It wasn't A'Li!
Fu Ning was filled with disappointment, not knowing what she was thinking. Just now, she had been so excited that she almost cried.
Her A'Li was long gone.
The one in Qianyun Pavilion now was Her Majesty the Empress, not A'Li.
She had been uneasy, lost, confused, and desperate. Finally, she had to accept a fact.
That was, ever since she became Her Majesty the Empress, A'Li had completely changed.
No longer the A'Li who used to talk to her and treated her like a sister.
But an Empress who was high above, even... somewhat malicious, and no longer showed any kindness.
Fu Ning was the closest to Chu Qianli among everyone.
She was responsible for all of Chu Qianli's daily life and food, and was the closest to Chu Qianli.
She was also the first person to discover that A'Li was no longer A'Li.
But A'Li was indeed A'Li. She was Chu Qianli, genuine and true.
Whether it was her face or some marks on her body, they were still there.
And the Qiankun Chain on her hand... Big Brother said that the Qiankun Chain recognized its master. If she wasn't A'Li, the Qiankun Chain wouldn't follow her.
Therefore, Her Majesty the Empress was indeed Chu Qianli.
It was just that she was no longer her A'Li.
Fu Ning didn't know when she started to despair, but seeing this girl today, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in her heart.
She seemed to see A'Li again.
Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, she realized it wasn't.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yao tilted her head, sizing her up.
Finally, her eyes curved into a smile: "Did you mistake me for someone else?"
It was obvious that the person was extremely important to her.
And Xiao Yao, the first time she saw Fu Ning, felt no dislike.
"Have you had breakfast? Would you like to join me? There's too much food here, I can't finish it all by myself."
Perhaps because Prince Xuan thought she was too thin and unattractive, the breakfast prepared by Leng Ji was enough for three to four people.
Fu Ning originally wanted to refuse. She had come to invite Prince Xuan on behalf of Her Majesty, and at this time, she should go back to serve.
But she didn't want to go back at all, to face the brand new Chu Qianli.
Instead, looking at Xiao Yao now, her mood inexplicably improved a lot.
In the end, she followed her heart and sat down.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?" Fu Ning asked.
"Were you part of the prince's household before?"
"No, but I am somewhat familiar with the people around the prince."
"I'm a new maid." Forced to be a maid! But Xiao Yao didn't plan to explain this, it was too troublesome.
She smiled at Fu Ning: "My name is Xiao Yao."
"Fu Ning." Fu Ning introduced herself, and then looked at Xiao Yao. Her curved eyebrows and eyes were truly beautiful.
Although her face was a bit sallow and lacked any spirit.
But her eyes were crystal clear, bright, and captivating!
A pair of very beautiful eyes!
Xiao Yao was not a talkative person, so during breakfast, the two of them didn't chat much.
But what surprised Fu Ning was that even though they didn't speak, the atmosphere was not awkward.
It felt like old friends sitting together, drinking tea, eating, and occasionally chatting in a leisurely manner.
However, she couldn't be leisurely for too long. Her Majesty the Empress needed her to go back and serve.
After breakfast, she and Xiao Yao had officially met.
Just as she was about to take her leave, a figure rushed in from the gate of Wuzhou Garden.
