《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 1: Transmigrated Soul in a Tight Corner


    "Second Lady...Second Lady......"


    A female voice was shouting, seemingly somewhat anxiously, but she simply couldn¡¯t hear it clearly.


    An overwhelming flow of water from the river came pouring into her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. In any case, she was caught off guard. Even someone like her, who had always been calm and collected, couldn¡¯t help but panic for a bit.


    Immediately after, she did all she could and gradually rxed. The sound of water sshing slowly quieted down.


    After Luo Qing Luan stuck her head above the water and took in a deep breath, she then noticed that her surroundings appeared to be off.


    What ce is this?


    Tree-lined walkways, blossoming flowers, she could even see a pavilion in the distance. Such ancient style and decor. This clearly was the appearance of one of those gardens belonging to the wealthy modeled in the ancient style. How did shee here?


    Wasn¡¯t she in the middle of treating the injury of a certain crime boss...suddenly, a huge chunk of memory came pouring into her mind giving Luo Qing Luan an uncontroble splitting headache.


    "Fifth Prince, Qing Shuang really like you a lot..."


    Under the covered walkway, that familiar lithe, charming and flirtatious figure, dressed in a full length pink dress floating gently in the breeze. The female nestled against the chest of a man wearing magnificent purple clothes of cloud patterned brocade.


    Her sweet voice practically dripped honey, "But Fifth Prince, you¡¯re Younger Sister Qing Luan¡¯s fiance. Qing Luan shouldn¡¯t make my sister broken-hearted......"


    "Don¡¯t bring up that ugly troll. Thinking about her is making be sick!"


    The man¡¯s tone of voice was so repulsive, but the pink clothed female¡¯s face actually appeared to bepletely intoxicated. He lifted her fair chin and said tenderly, "Qing Shuang, you¡¯re the beautiful one. I would rather marry you and reject that ugly troll. At that time, if it wasn¡¯t for..."


    The scene fragmented, scattered apart, all kinds of voices, all kinds of scenes rotated in her mind like a carousel, causing Luo Qing Luan to shudder from head to toe.


    Those two, male and female, embraced each other intimately and openly, in broad daylight,pletely unafraid that someone would pass by and see them.


    Those unspeakable vague and ambiguous words,nguage taunting her, nearly made Luo Qing Luan disgusted enough to throw up.


    With a loud stter, her hand hit the water, creating a fewrge sshes. Her facial expression already turned cold. Turns out that she had really died, but yet she couldn¡¯t be considered dead. Her soul transmigrated to this female body who had the same name as her.


    And the one called Qing Shuang, the one with the pink dress, was her body¡¯s previous owner¡¯s sister. Qing Shuang actually got together with her fiance and even said those things which her body¡¯s original owner couldn¡¯t bear to hear.


    Otherwise, the original owner wouldn¡¯t have been so distraught that she fell into the pond and drowned. Only after that happen did the current her came to be.


    The corners of her mouth curved. Luo Qing Luan clenched all ten fingers firmly as a cold light shed through her eyes.


    There had never been anyone who dared to bully her. Even if her body changed, it¡¯s still the same!


    Since she upied someone else¡¯s body, then whatever this girl who had the same name as her had came across, let her bear them all.


    She absolutely won¡¯t let the original owner die in such a stupid and cowardly way and even more so, she certainly won¡¯t continue to live in such a helpless way.


    After inspecting her surroundings, Luo Qing Luan remembered that she seemed to have heard a girl shouting just now. Could it be a servant who discovered that she fell into the water?


    But that shouting voice was clearly weak and without strength, as if hoping that no one will hear, and she would simply die in this pond as a result.


    "Interesting......I wonder if it¡¯s that sister of mine doing this on purpose. Perhaps in a moment, they will really return to see if I¡¯m dead or not."


    How should she create a good show for them to watch?


    An idea already crossed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mind.


    Let¡¯s wait and see, let¡¯s see just who will lose face in a moment!


    Just as she wanted toe out of the water, she suddenly felt that there¡¯s no strength in her body. Luo Qing Luan almost didn¡¯t even have the strength to grab onto the stone by the pond.


    If is wasn¡¯t for her swimming skills, it¡¯s very likely that she would¡¯ve been drowning again.


    During modern times, as the Ghost Doctor¡¯s sixteenth generation disciple, her medical skills were brilliant, bringing people on the verge of death to life. How could Luo Qing Luan not tell that her entirely weak body was caused by someone who had drugged her?


    Luckily, the this drug wasn¡¯t a strong poison. Otherwise, her soul would be wearing a carcass whose intestines had corroded, and whose facecked the semnce of a human. That would really be......just as she was thinking this, a face appeared on the water¡¯s surface which froze Luo Qing Luan in ce.


    The eye sockets were pitch-ck, remarkably like a panda¡¯s eyes. That big, bloody looking mouth seemed like it was born eating animals, blood-red enough to scare people.


    Even more unmentionable was the extremely thickyer of cosmetics now melting in water, simr to a paste glued onto her face. Even the clothes she was wearing were bright red and green, intolerably vulgar. If she hadn¡¯t always been calm and collected, Luo Qing Luan truly would¡¯ve shocked herself to death.


    She understood something and smiled slowly.


    "No wonder that Fifth Prince wanted to reject their marriage. The original owner¡¯s sense of esthetics is truly underwhelming......"


    Even though she recalled from her memories that the original owner of this body looked this way in part because of her older sister, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s, deliberate misguidance. The original owner was still too simple in believing other people, unable to read a people. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh with sorrow.


    She quickly washed away the multicolored cosmetics, then looked at the face in the water again. The face already changed to the appearance of an absolute beauty, delicate and pretty.


    She smiled faintly, "Right. Now that¡¯s more like it. And here I thought that I was shamefully ugly!"


    Just at this moment, she seemed to hear a voiceing from the distance and turned to look. Two girls, one pink and one green, wasing this way.


    With only one look, Luo Qing Luan recognized them. They were precisely her sister Luo Qing Luan and her personal maid, Chun Mei!


    Came at a good time!


    After soaking in the water for a bit, the drug¡¯s effect gradually faded. Most of the strength in her body already returned.


    Luo Qing Luan quickly climbed out of the pond and sat by the side wringing water out of her clothes. Her back was turned towards those two people, as if she simply didn¡¯t hear the sound of their footsteps.

 Chapter 2

    Chapter 2: Putting Her Vicious Older Sister In Her ce


    They wereing closer.


    Luo Qing Luan was able to clearly hear the footsteps of those two people, mistress and servant.


    It¡¯s just that as they came closer, they no longer made a sound. Even their walking speed became slower. They walked quietly on tiptoe as if afraid that she would hear them approach.


    She didn¡¯t have to think to know what those two were up to. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s manner was that of someone who¡¯spletely unaware, sitting by the pond side as before, hands moving continuously. Her mouth was even muttering, "Oh no! If I don¡¯t quickly tidy myself up, what if Father finds out. He¡¯ll definitely......"


    "My god!"


    Suddenly, a woman¡¯s world shaking screech sounded from behind her. "Second Lady, please don¡¯tmit suicide by jumping into the water!"


    The sound of hurried footsteps approached, rapidlying towards her. Luo Qing Luan pretended to be startled with a jump and quickly turned her head to look. Sure enough, she saw Chun Mei rushing towards her. The vicious appearance of that face clearly showed that she wanted to push her into the pond once again.


    Luo Qing Luan very appropriately cried out in rm, her face covered in panic. Yet when Chun Mei was just about to touch her body, she grabbed Chun Mei¡¯s wrist. "Chun Mei, you...what do you want to do..."


    Chun Mei was startled into shouting out loud. She made a futile attempt to forcefully push Qing Luan into the water, but now that her wrist had been grabbed, she surprisingly couldn¡¯t withdraw it either. She also yelled frantically, "Eldest Lady, the Second Lady grabbed my hand..."


    "Fool!"


    Luo Qing Shuang, who was standing by the side waiting to watch a good scene, could no longer hold her temper. She lifted the hem of her dress and rushed over.


    "Sister, save me! Chun Mei wants to push me down there..."


    "You shut up! She pushed you? I also want to push you!"


    How could she still control herself. Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s face filled with resentment as she looked at her own younger sister. That face which returned to its original appearance after soaking in water made her heart constrict even more with envy. "Why didn¡¯t you drown for good just now? Don¡¯t you know that I have been looking forward to your death? Luo Qing Luan, I¡¯m telling you, the person who Fifth Princes likes is me..."


    Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t have any interest in waiting until her sister finished speaking. Her eyes shed with a crafty light as she used all the strength in her hands and suddenly pulled Luo Qing Shuang into the water.


    Ssh!! Ssh!!


    A huge ssh was created in the pond. Luo Qing Luan pped desperately as she wanted to cry for help. But quick as lightning, Luo Qing Luan pushed firmly on her head and pressed her down. The pond water immediately filled her mouth and stopped any sound froming out. Besides struggling nonstop by waving her arms, Qing Shuang¡¯s life or death was entirely under Luo Qing Luan¡¯s control.


    No one had discovered that at a distant rock garden behind the pond, a grave and stern man holding a jasper flute was standing quietly. Although separated by distance, he had been watching this direction attentively. It seemed that he saw what happened at the pond very clearly.


    And when he saw Luo Qing Luan pull Luo Qing Shuang into the water, his expressionless face actually showed some emotion. When Luo Qing Luan pushed Luo Qing Shuang down into the water, he actually smiled faintly. When he watched the servant¡¯s expression make huge changes as she stood by the pond, the corners of his mouth finally curved upwards as he spit out an indifferent word. "Interesting!"


    He had apanied the fifth prince, Nangong Chen, in paying a visit to the general¡¯s mansion. He was feeling stuffy and bored, so he came out for a walk. Didn¡¯t expect to see such an amusing scene. Wasn¡¯t it widely circted that the second Miss Luo¡¯s appearance was tasteless, the ugliest woman in the entire state of Western Chu? Why are his eyes telling him that this waspletely not the case? And as for the eldest Miss Luo, it¡¯s rumored that her fame spread far and wide, talented, educated and well-bnced, yet presently......


    Sure enough, rumors shouldn¡¯t be believed!


    The corners of Nn Ye¡¯s mouth curved slightly, as he coldly watched attentively, without the slightest intention ofing forward to rescue anybody.


    After Luo Qing Shuang had swallowed quite a few mouthfuls of water and already became so dizzy that she couldn¡¯t even yell for someone to save her, Luo Qing Shuang finally rxed her hand and crawled towards the water¡¯s surface again.


    "You......you actually......" Chun Mei pointed a finger at her in fright and retreated step by step.


    "What about me?" Luo Qing Luan looked at her neither fiercely nor indifferently as she wiped away the water drops on her face and continued. "As for you, Chun Mei, if you still won¡¯t go and save your mistress, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll truly drown to death."


    Chun Mei cried out in rm. At once, she wanted to run over, but just as she lifted her foot, she looked at Luo Qing Luan and fear spread over her face again.


    What in the world is going on? How did the seconddy be so daring? Not only did she want to drown her older sister, even the expression on her face was entirely different from the past, permeating ice-coldness from head to toe.


    Not daring toe closer in the slightest, but hearing the unceasing plopping sound of the struggle in the pond, she also didn¡¯t dare to leave.


    If her mistress were to drown, she wouldn¡¯t be able to live either!


    Standing by the side of the pond, Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t the least bit uneasy. Someone who dared to harm her was already lucky if she didn¡¯t immediately put in needles such that the perpetrator would suffer while living yet couldn¡¯t die even if they wanted to.


    However, this Luo Qing Shuang, humph, temporarily still shouldn¡¯t be killed. At least, not publicly by her own hands.


    When she saw that pink clothed figure gradually lose strength and slowly sink deeper, Luo Qing Luan was going to make a move, but then she heard a voicee from a ce not far away.


    "Why is there movement by the pond? What in the world happened?"


    Having heard this questioning voice, Luo Qing Luanughed coldly, "Sure enough, they came just in time." Her current body¡¯s father, Luo Cheng, Generalissimo Luo came, apparently apanied by more than one person.


    Smiling faintly, Luo Qing Luan looked at the bewildered servant, Chun Mei, then threw herself once again into the pond.

    *Deep Bow*

 Chapter 3

    Chapter 3: Slowly Putting Each Person in Their ce


    When General Luo brought a group of servants and hurried to the pond side, he only saw the servant girl, Chun Mei, standing there stunned. Two figures were struggling wildly in the pond, flopping about, ready to sink down deeper soon.


    Hisplexion changed drastically as he red fiercely at Chun Mei and said angrily. "What are you staring nkly for? Hurry and save people!" Four or five servants rushed forward and jumped into the water, quite busy for a long while. Finally, they saved Luo Qing Shuang and Luo Qing Luan.


    Luo Cheng¡¯splexion ashened. He totally didn¡¯t expect that he brought some servants outside to bring the Titled Prince of Chu, Nn Ye, back to the mansion, but instead, he allowed the prince to see such an embarrassing scene. He forced himself to let out a long breath. Fortunately, Fifth Prince was tired and was still resting. Otherwise, it would¡¯ve been even more disastrous.


    "What in the world happened?" Luo Cheng looked at Chun Mei, tone of voice dark and cold.


    "Report, reporting to Master......"


    Chun Mei, in her panicky and flustered state, barely started to exin, when Luo Qing Luan forestalled her.


    Dripping wet from head to foot, her jet-ck long hair sticking to her body, a contrast to her snow white skin, made Luo Qing Luan appear even more lovely and pitiful. "Father, it¡¯s my fault......I wasn¡¯t careful and fell into the water. Fortunately, Older Sister saw and brought Chun Mei toe and save me."


    She purposefully snatched away Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s chance to speak first. Otherwise, once Father heard Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s side of the story, her entire n woulde to nothing.


    As she spoke, Luo Qing Luan shot a wide open-eyed re at Chun Mei.


    Appearing both grateful and guilty, she continued. "But...but the side of the pond is too slippery, Sister had just, had just saved me but then she also slipped into the pond. I.....I, once I saw that there¡¯s trouble, I forgot......forgot that I can¡¯t swim, and jumped into the pond again to save Elder Sister......"


    Previously, she was still afraid that Luo Qing Luan would speak about how she wanted to kill her. Upon hearing this response, Luo Qing Shuang opened her eyes barely enough, "Father......I, I¡¯m useless......"


    "What nonsense! What a scene! Simply scandalous!"


    Luo Cheng looked at his oldest daughter gasping for life and was unable to say anything more. He was extremely angry and was going to open his mouth to scold Luo Qing Luan, but he suddenly recalled that Nn Ye was still standing there. It¡¯s really not too good for him to speak in too biased a manner, so he could only turn to Chun Mei and berate her. "You stupid girl! Is this how you look after your mistress?"


    "Master, that¡¯s not it, I......"


    Chun Mei didn¡¯t have a chance to exin before Luo Cheng already shouted, "Someonee! Chun Mei failed to protect her mistress. Drag her away and whip her fiercely ten times!" Scanning the crowd of trembling servants with heads bowed around him, he warned darkly, "You¡¯ve all seen it. In the future, whoever dares to be careless, Chun Mei will be the result."


    Luo Qing Shuang heard Chun Mei begging for mercy as she was dragged away, but she felt too weak all over to do anything, because she felt extremely unwell after swallowing all that water. When she weakly opened her eyes to look at Luo Qing Luan, she saw that her sister¡¯s head was lowered while smiling yet not smiling, and was also looking back at her.


    Luo Qing Shuang trembled as she recalled her sister¡¯s tricks from a moment ago and became so rmed that she hastened to close her eyes, immediately pretending to have fainted.


    [This damned Luo Qing Luan. She actually schemed against her? When she gets better, she must retaliate back. Just wait and see!]


    "Your Highness, I must apologize for letting you see this farce......"


    Luo Cheng was barely able to control his temper and wanted to give Nn Ye a few words of exnation. Unexpectedly, Nn Ye¡¯s gaze turned andnded on Luo Qing Luan. "Is this Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee, the second Miss Luo?"


    As if she had a bad premonition, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t understand what caused this man to pay attention to her at all, but from her body¡¯s former owner¡¯s memory, she knew that the state of Western Chu had a titled Prince. She just assumed a terrified appearance and didn¡¯t even bow her head, "Yes, I am......"


    "Impudent! Is there a ce for you talk in the presence of His Highness? Still not going back to your room to change? Don¡¯t make an exhibition of yourself here."


    "Yes, Father......" Luo Qing Luan answered softly, not exposing her sharpness in the slightest.


    She was supported by her personal maid Dai Yue and returned to her room. Once she took a bath and changed into clean clothes, Luo Qing Luan then listened to Dai Yue¡¯s endless troubled worries while she inspected her own body.


    "It¡¯s good that My Lady is fine, otherwise.....this servant really don¡¯t know what I would¡¯ve done." Dai Ye¡¯s face was full of concern, which was also apparent in her speech. "I¡¯ll go cook a bowl of ginger soup for you, alright? Warm yourself up properly to avoid getting sick."


    Looking around her room, even though she already had the former owner¡¯s memories, now that she¡¯s looking with her own eyes, Luo Qing Luan still couldn¡¯t help but sneer. As the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s second daughter, Luo Cheng¡¯s blood rted daughter, she didn¡¯t expect to be living in this kind of shabby room.


    Looking from the outside, there¡¯s nothing different about her room. Only after entering was it clear that not only was there no decoration of any kind, even the bedding and pad on her bed were totally worn. Everything had already been used for seven or eight years and hadn¡¯t been changed.


    Normally, the maids serving her consisted of only Dai Yue. Dai Yue¡¯s stature was tiny and not strong, yet not only did she wait upon her, she also did theundry, sweeping, cleaning, etc. For these ten plus years, the two of them had been truly miserable.


    "Mother......" Thinking of her, Luo Qing Luan again couldn¡¯t help but feel even more resentment towards this father that she met for the first time.


    Luo Cheng used to dote on her mother the most. The day they got married caused a sensation throughout the entire capital. Even the empress came.


    However, just because her mother passed away from birthing difficulties on the day she was born, Luo Cheng came to hate her, his own child. If, when she was pregnant, mother didn¡¯t make an agreement with the then also pregnant Empress, for her unborn daughter and unborn Fifth Prince Nangong Chen to be engaged, so that Qing Luan already became Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee when she was born, Luo Cheng probably would¡¯ve already condemned her by now.


    They say that even wild beasts look after their young, but for thest ten plus years, Luo Cheng had not been the least bit concerned about her. He merely allowed her to continue barely surviving. How had he fulfilled his responsibility as a father?


    This body¡¯s former owner had been broken-hearted, had been suffering, but was unable to change anything.


    That¡¯s not the case anymore.


    Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly. Other people don¡¯t care about her, she also won¡¯t cherish them. From now on, she¡¯ll only need to take good care of herself. Even those who¡¯re by her side, everyone who treats her well, she¡¯ll protect in return. As far as those who hate her, want to kill her......she will simrly also slowly sort each and everyone of them out!

 Chapter 4

    Chapter 4: Ill-Intentioned Visit


    <h4></h4>


    "Dai Yue, how much money remains from this month¡¯s allowance?"


    Hearing her mistress ask, Dai Yue thought that she was concerned about not having any money left, so she promptly replied, "My Lady, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s only the eighth of the month. We still have more than two taels of silver. Are you worried about whether or not we¡¯ll have money to buy medicines if you¡¯re sick?"


    Two taels of silver......truly so little that it¡¯s pathetic!


    She¡¯s the magnificent General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s second daughter, and is also the future Fifth Prince consort. Surprisingly, she¡¯s downtrodden to this degree?


    If this was in the past, the former owner would¡¯ve certainly frowned with concern, but presently, Luo Qing Luan merely thought about it for a bit before looking at Dai Yue and saying to her, "Go help me do something. Find a silversmithing shop and have them make a set of acupuncture needles for me."


    She had examined her own body just now and discovered that due to constant malnourishment, her constitution was extremely poor. If she hadn¡¯t applied acupressure to the crucial pressure points, she¡¯s afraid that merely falling into the water this time would¡¯ve caused her to be seriously ill.


    Nursing her own body back to health as soon as possible was the priority. Otherwise, how was she going to have the strength to get revenge?!


    Dai Yue was puzzled, "My Lady, what do you need acupuncture needles for? We only have a bit over two taels of silver left......"


    She knew her maid was worried about them not having money and about how they were going to survive thest half of the month. Regardless of whether they needed to buy needle and thread, or other personal items, she still needed to fish out money. However, Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t worried in the slightest. "Just follow my instruction. You don¡¯t need to think about the money. First, help me forge some silver acupuncture needles."


    After hesitating a bit, Dai Yue had no other choice, but to nod. "Yes, My Lady."


    Even though she didn¡¯t understand what her mistress wanted to do, she still had to do what she was told, and absolutely not go against orders.


    The environment at the other room was entirely different from that of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s.


    Outside the window, bluish-green bamboos swayed about. Indoors, there was the subtle fragrance of orchids. On the gorgeous and soft big bed, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯splexion was pale. She nearly cried enough tears to soak herself in it. "Mother, it¡¯s all because of that damned Luo Qing Luan. If it wasn¡¯t for her, how would I fall into the water? Cough, cough......"


    Concubine Wang Xue Ru watched her own daughter with an aching heart. The silk fabric in her hand was already twisted into a crumpled mess. She responded through clenched teeth. "That rotten girl. She surprisingly dared to pull you into the water?"


    "Daughter originally already nned everything. Have her see Fifth Prince together with me and she¡¯ll no doubt have the impulse toe at me and yell at me. At that time, I will instead have good reason to be together with Fifth Prince. Who would¡¯ve thought......"


    Thinking of this, Luo Qing Shuang was exceedingly angry. She didn¡¯t expect that her sister could be this useless. After clearly seeing Fifth Prince kiss her and even said those difficult to listen to words, she was actually so broken-hearted that she ran away?


    If it was herself, it would be strange if she didn¡¯t charge over and sh the slut¡¯s face!


    "Furthermore, she clearly fell into the pond. Chun Mei saw everything. I even deliberately waited for a period of time before I went over there." Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s originally graceful and dainty face was not only as white as paper, it was even brimming with resentment. "Who would¡¯ve thought that when we rushed over there, she was surprisingly alive and already climbed up the side of the pond......"


    Wang Xue Ru knit her brows, "Didn¡¯t this rotten girl not know how to swim?"


    Luo Qing Shuang replied fiercely, "God knows what happened? Truly abominable. How could she not drown this time! I even personally took action. Instead, I was actually......"


    Anger bubbling forth in her heart and mind, she pulled Wang Xue Ru¡¯s hand and acted like a spoiled child, "Mother, you need to help your daughter vent her anger! I must marry Fifth Prince. Help me kill her!"


    After thinking about it, Wang Xue Ru lowered her voice and replied, "Don¡¯t be impatient. Since your n failed this time, we¡¯ll need to be even more careful. After all, that girl is still your sister in name. Moreover, she¡¯s even the main wife¡¯s daughter in this General¡¯s Mansion. However, I will help you and go teach her a lesson. I can still score off of her for you first."


    ......


    Dai Yue was quick indeed. It¡¯s been only two days when Luo Qing Yuan received the acupuncture needles she brought back.


    "My Lady, I originally gave the master craftsman the same instruction that you gave me. However, the master craftsman said that it would require too much time and skill. He would need at least fifty taels of silver. I only brought two taels, so then......"


    Luo Qing Luan smiled and consoled her, "Forget it. Even though there are only five needles, they are still usable. When we have more money in the future, we¡¯ll just make an even better set."


    This set of silver acupuncture needles inside the wooden box was made with minimal workmanship. Moreover, the material was of the poorest quality. However, she knew her own current circumstances. Without money, everything bes difficult to manage. Yes, she needed to nurse herself back to health as quickly as possible, then she could properly think of a way to earn money.


    Just as Luo Qing Luan sent Dai Yue outside and got ready to use her Ghost Hand Nine Needles technique, she heard the sound of footsteps at her door. A pretentious voice sounded, "Qing Luan, I heard that you were ill. Father¡¯s concubine came to see you."


    Her voice had not stopped when she already came in.


    Luo Qing Luan looked up and only felt that she was a moving assemge of opulence. Concubine Wang Xue Ru wore a smile on her face. Her pearl hairpin was even making jingling sounds. She brought a servant girl with her and they entered the room together.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5: I Naturally Should Repay You


    Without revealing any clues, she put the cover on the box of needles and handed it to Dai Yue. Luo Qing Luan pretended to be weak and powerless again. She saw Wang Xue Ru entering and seemed to want to sit up to speak. Unexpectedly, the moment she started talking she coughed sessively, "Cough, cough, cough, cough......"


    Afraid she¡¯d catch the illness, Wang Xue Ru retreated to the side in rm and reflexively wanted to scold, "You......" Her voice came to a stop abruptly when she thought of her objective for today and immediately changed her tone of voice, "This child, why have you managed to be like this? Hurry and let me see, don¡¯t let yourself get sick."


    "It¡¯s nothing, sorry to trouble you......cough, cough, cough......sorry to trouble you foring to see me. Qing Luan is really......ah, ah, ah, atchoo!" Luo Qing Luan appeared both surprised and happy, like she was very grateful for Wang Xue Ru¡¯s concern, but the reality was that she¡¯s quite sick. Before she was able to finish her sentence, she already both coughed and sneezed, making Wang Xue Ru unable to approach, yet unable to leave. Her expression was quite unsightly.


    Standing at the distance, Wang Xue Ru saw that Luo Qing Luan seemed to be better after taking the handkerchief that Dai Yue handed her and wiping her mouth . With great difficulty, she resisted her difort and finally walked over to the bedside. "Qing Luan, from what I can see, you caught a cold, right?"


    "Uh......maybe a little?" Luo Qing Luan was a face full of innocence as she looked back at her.


    [This little wench, clearly so audacious that she dared to push her daughter into the water. Now that she¡¯s here, the wench actually assumed such an obedient appearance. Simply vile!]


    The more Wang Xue Ru watched, the angrier she became. She directly waved her hand and had her servant bring something. "Come, Qing Luan, I had a physician prepare a decoction for colds and chills. Your sister already drank some. The result is pretty good. You should also quickly drink it. Your illness might even be better by tomorrow."


    After saying this, she took the basket from her servant maid and took out a porcin goblet to pour out a bowl of darkish medicine then brought it over.


    With a nce, Luo Qing Luan saw that this medicine was not only extremely dark in color, it also emitted a faintly sour smell. She creased her brows. "Father¡¯s Concubine, it stinks. I can¡¯t drink this......"


    Wang Xue Ru heard this and hate boiled in her heart as she clenched her teeth.


    This decoction was something she prepared for this rotten girl ¡¯with utmost care¡¯, made of special ingredients. Once she drank it, within three days, her face will give birth to a red rash. Moreover, it will also destroy her voice so that it¡¯ll be hoarse like a crow¡¯s.


    In the past, she taught her daughter to convince Luo Qing Luan to put on makeup distastefully such that her infamy as an ugly girl spread far and wide. Otherwise, how would Qing Shuang have obtained her standing as West Chu state¡¯s most outstanding beauty in both appearance and demeanor? But now, even looking at Luo Qing Luan¡¯s bare face made her so envious that she secretly clenched her teeth, bing even more determined to destroy this gorgeous face on her daughter¡¯s behalf.


    "Qing Luan, be obedient."


    Wang Xue Ru reigned in her temper and straightforwardly sat by Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side to bring the bowl in front of her face. "I¡¯m worried about you, understand? You are the future Fifth Prince Consort. If you don¡¯t get better right away, how can you marry him?"


    It was better when she didn¡¯t mention this matter. To the contrary, it reminded Luo Qing Luan of something and she immediately became deeply distressed. "Father¡¯s Concubine, please don¡¯t speak anymore. I already know that Elder Sister likes the Fifth Prince. I feel terrible. I don¡¯t want to drink medicine, just let me die from sickness."


    "How can this be possible? Good Qing Luan, don¡¯t get angry. Come drink the medicine."


    "I can¡¯t bring myself to drink it......"


    No matter what Wang Xue Ru said, Luo Qing Luan only sported a broken-hearted, inconsble appearance. She wouldn¡¯t agree to drink no matter what. Wang Xue Ru was so furious that she secretly ground her teeth, regretting touching upon Qing Luan¡¯s sore spot.


    [How detestable! Wait until you drink the medicine, how good you¡¯ll look!]


    Cursing Luo Qing Luan in her mind again, Wang Xue Ru sighed a long sigh and appeared helpless. "Fine fine fine. Qing Luan, as long as you drink the medicine obediently, I¡¯ll help you scold your sister when I return. It¡¯s fine, now, right?"


    "Really?" Luo Qing Luan appeared to take her at her word.


    "No matter whether Qing Shuang really likes Fifth Prince, I will still warn and remind her that Fifth Prince is your fiancee, Qing Luan. How could she set her mind on him? That stinky head truly didn¡¯t know right from wrong."


    While she was speaking, she again brought the medicine closer, "This time, Qing Luan, you can drink the medicine now, right?"


    If she wasn¡¯t trying to trick this rotten girl into drinking the medicine, why would she scold her own precious daughter! Humph, see how she¡¯s going to make Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face covered in rashes, make her too shameful to see anyone for the rest of her life, and even unable to speak properly!


    "Father¡¯s Concubine is so kind."


    Luo Qing Luan finally became cheerful, showing a smiling expression, and took the decoction in hand. She bowed her head to sniff a couple of times, brows wrinkling slightly. Wang Xue Ru even thought she was going toin and was going to say something when she saw the girl showing an appearance of resisting the smell while bringing the bowl towards her mouth.


    [Drink it, drink it......]


    Wang Xue Ru couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it.


    Who would have thought¡ª¡ªthat ckish bowl of medicine arrived at Luo Qing Luan¡¯s lips when she abruptly stopped and suddenly opened her mouth to sneeze. An entire bowl of medicine all spilled on Wang Xue Ru¡¯s body.


    "Aiya! Father¡¯s Concubine, how did it spill? I truly feel so bad......"


    Even if she was an idiot, Wang Xue Ru was still aware what happened this time.


    As if her buttocks were on fire, Wang Xue Ru quickly jumped up and anxiously wiped her body. Her servant was also surprised by the sudden turn of events and hastened toe over to help. Too bad, not long after, the highest quality snow silk brocade embroidered dress that she spent over fifty silver taels on was ruined by the bowl of ckish medicine. Wang Xue Ru seethed with anger, steam nearly spouted from her head. How could she still continue to pretend?


    Once her expression changed, Wang Xue Ru shouted a torrent of curses, "You lowlife, you actually ruined my clothes?"


    Luo Qing Luan casted a nce as light as a feather toward her and blinked a few times before responding with a smile. "Aiya, Father¡¯s Concubine, isn¡¯t this called returning politeness with politeness? You brought me a bowl of medicine with stuff added to it for me to drink, I naturally have to repay you!"

 Chapter 6

    Chapter 6: Wanting to Anger Her Again On Purpose


    ¡°You......you......¡± Wang Xue Ru was so incensed that she found it difficult to speak.


    As if she wasn¡¯t the least aware that she did anything wrong, Luo Qing Luan also no longer showed any sign of having a cold, or cough. She slowly got down from her bed and didn¡¯t even nce at Wang Xue Ru as she faced Dai Yue, ¡°Father¡¯s concubine¡¯s clothes are dirty. She will need to hurry back to change and wash. You also hurry and go do what you need to do, sweep the room properly.¡±


    As she spoke, she even felt along the window ledge. ¡°Look, it¡¯s covered with ayer of dust.¡±


    How could she still not understand her Mistress¡¯ intention? Dai Yue seldom saw the side madam so deted and was quite happy. Immediately, she picked up the feather duster in the corner and rapidly started to dust everything. She even intentionally dusted in front of Wang Xue Ru.


    ¡°You you you......scram farther away.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru covered her nose and avoided having the dust get on her, then she red fiercely at Luo Qing Luan and left gloomily.


    Once the sound of footsteps faded into the distance, Dai Yue took a nce towards the doorway, before setting the feather duster down and asking anxiously, ¡°Just now, you teased the side madam like that. What if she had gotten angry and had you beaten? Or if she told on you to the master, bad luck will alsoe our way.¡±


    [Just that woman......]


    Luo Qing Luan curled her lips in disdain. If that woman had dared to do something, it¡¯d be strange if she didn¡¯t stick a few needles into her. As for today, she was let off lightly. Luo Qing Luan still needed to save some strength to take care of her own body.


    For three consecutive days, nobody came to disturb the crude little courtyard. Luo Qing Luan idled cheerfully, taking advantage of these few days to carefully nurse her health.


    Ghost Hand Nine Needles technique was basically her master, the Ghost Doctor¡¯s, best technique, able to bring someone almost dead back to life. As her master¡¯s only disciple, Luo Qing Luan had already learned this technique early on. Furthermore, the young is more nimble than the old, the student out performs the teacher. Presently, using this method to nurse herself is simply like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. In merely three days, she already recovered no small amount.


    Her originally somewhat thin face already started to turn rosy,plexion better and better. Her appetite had also increased and she could eat a bit more rice. If this continued, after at most one or two months, she would be able to fully recover.


    She removed the needles on her body with a practiced hand. Luo Qing Luan carefully cleaned the needles before putting them back into the wooden box.


    She was still a bit regretful. If she had enough money to make an even better quality, even moreplete set of silver needles, it would be great. This Ghost Hand Nine Needles method¡¯s results could be elevated to at least another level.


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan get down from her bed, Dai Yue already ran over bringing a set of female clothing. Once she finished helping her Mistress dress, she nearly became cross-eyed at the sight.


    ¡°My Lady, you¡¯re so beautiful!¡± Dai Yue said dazedly.


    In the past, her Mistress always applied heavy makeup, and under her older sister¡¯s advice, she even wore garish brightly-colored clothes,pletely covering up her own natural beauty. If it were not for this, her Mistress probably wouldn¡¯t havended the bad reputation of being a tasteless woman.


    But ever since her Mistress fell into the water, she changedpletely. Maybe she sobered up? She became both clever and capable, moreover she even became so beautiful. Even a servant who waited upon her everyday could look at her and be dazed. If Fifth Prince saw her Mistress as she is now, very likely, he¡¯d like her, right?


    Admiring her full body white silk brocaded dress, Luo Qing Luan gave a satisfied nod.


    Now this was in keeping with her style!


    A simple, natural and rxed style, yet one which magnified and showed off her figure. The dress reached to the ground and arranged itself in silky soft folds simr to clouds. This was precisely the pure white color that she was most fond of.


    The fresh and rxed in white dress set off her naturally elegant and graceful demeanor even more, despite eyebrows without a trace of eyebrow ink and vermillion lips without a speck of applied lip color. This was indeed the best look for a young fifteen years old youngdy, so much better than the ugly, overly made up girl from before.


    Looking out the window a couple of times, she noticed today¡¯s weather was not bad. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mood was quite good. ¡°Dai Yue, let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go out to y for a bit.¡±


    ¡°Ah, My Lady, you want to leave the mansion?¡±


    ¡°Look at how scared you are. Did I say I wanted to leave the mansion? We¡¯ve been staying indoors these couple of days. I feel a bit bored. Let¡¯s walk around in the garden.¡± If they were to really go out, she would have to change into a man¡¯s clothes for convenience.


    Even with no brains she could figure out that her current appearance, with its pure and refined face, would surely attract trouble.


    Only then did Dai Yue rx and apanied Luo Qing Luan outside. The two of them hadn¡¯t left their courtyard far when they saw Luo Qing Shuang along with Chun Mei leisurely walking towards them.


    Seemingly the same asst the time she saw her, Luo Qing Shuang was dressed in a pink dress with lotus embroidery. On her head was an especially dazzling ruby hairpin. Her vermilion lips were moistened with lip cream. She wore a smile, apparently having recovered quite well.


    ¡°Um, Younger Sister, have you also recovered from your cold?¡± As if shepletely forgot about falling into the waterst time, Luo Qing Shuang looked at her smilingly.


    No matter whether she came with good intentions or not, Luo Qing Luan simply did not attach any importance to the matter and returned an indifferent smile to her. ¡°Thank you for your concern, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    ¡°Then I can rx,¡± Luo Qing Shuang responded softly, ¡°I came to tell you something. Just now, Fifth Prince sent people to our residence to send us some presents.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked in reply.


    Seeing that her sister had restored her previous dazzling, enchanting appearance, Luo Qing Shuang exhausted all of her strength just to control herself from turning hostile. Last time, she wanted her mother to help her vent her anger. The oue was contrary to expectations as she was teased by Luo Qing Luan instead. How could she be resigned to this oue?


    Today, she deliberately came to find Luo Qing Luan to vent.


    Last time, when she saw her and Fifth Prince together, Luo Qing Luan was so upset that she carelessly fell into theke. She dared to guarantee that Fifth Prince Nangong Chen was indeed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s weakness! As long as she brought up the matter of Fifth Prince again, Luo Qing Luan would certainly expose her original nature and would be beside herself!


    [It¡¯s best to straightforwardly anger Luo Qing Luan to death!]


    Having decided, Luo Qing Luan pulled out the ruby hairpin from her hair and moved close to face Luo Qing Luan, while speaking regretfully, ¡°Younger Sister, this is the peacock gemstone hairpin that Fifth Prince sent his people to deliver. It¡¯s priceless! It¡¯s just that the fifth prince said just now that I look good wearing it, so he already gifted it to me. Younger Sister, don¡¯t be too sad.¡±

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7: As Long As You Do One Thing


    With one look, she could see that Luo Qing Shuang was deliberately stirring up trouble again. Yet Luo Qing Luan only asked casually, "Oh? Fifth Prince came again today?"


    Emotion shed in her eyes. Luo Qing Shuang was thrilled. It seemed that Fifth Prince was indeed the person whom Luo Qing Luan cared the most about!


    Luo Qing Shuang deliberately let out a long sigh before responding. "That¡¯s right. Just a moment ago, Fifth Prince came to personally send some presents. However, he had already left. Too bad you didn¡¯te. Otherwise, you could still exchange a few words with him."


    "What is there to say between me and him?"


    Once Luo Qing Luan finished speaking, she wanted to take Dai Yue and leave, but Luo Qing Shuang immediately blocked her way. "Sigh, how can Younger Sister say such demoralizing things. You¡¯re the Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee. Even though he doesn¡¯t like you right now, Sister, you still shouldn¡¯t give up!"


    "That¡¯s right, he doesn¡¯t like me, the one he likes is you." Luo Qing Luan continued indifferently, "No need to show off in front of me. You like Nangong Chen, so just take him. I could really care less."


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s obviously unhappy appearance, Luo Qing Shuang was even more satisfied. She spun the ruby hairpin in her hand around. The morning light shined upon it, scattering magnificently sparkling rays of light.


    As she caressed the ruby hairpin, she spoke somewhat remorsefully, "Younger Sister, I know that you¡¯re not happy, but.....whoever the Fifth Prince likes, I also can¡¯t do anything about it. The Fifth Prince is like that. Even if the empress granted marriage, he doesn¡¯t care. I also already told him that you are the one who¡¯s his fiancee, but the Fifth Prince, he......he said......"


    How could there be such a shameless person in the world! Luo Qing Luan pondered as she watched Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s performance. No great waves moved in her heart. She only felt that it wasughable and simply followed the flow. "What did he say?


    Luo Qing Shuang became even more enthusiastic and answered with a smug smile. "He said that I¡¯m the woman that he loves the most. He liked me from the first time heid eyes on me. Therefore, today, he especially came to gift me this peacock ruby hairpin and said that only such a precious item would be suitable for me."


    Right when she finished speaking, she seemed to have just thought of something and promptly said, "But Younger Sister, you really shouldn¡¯t be oversensitive. Even though Fifth Prince likes me, I¡¯m aware that he¡¯s your fiancee. I won¡¯t fight you over him."


    Once her voice dropped, she then fixed her gaze on Luo Qing Luan, waiting to see the other¡¯s expression of heartbroken distress.


    "Really?" Since it¡¯s like that, then you two sluts are just the right match for each other. The two of you linking together can be considered eliminating disaster on behalf of the people, saving another family¡¯s good man and good woman from getting wrecked."


    The corners of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mouth raised into a smile, "Elder Sister, do you want me to go tell Father that the two of you already did a good deed that day. Very possibly, in a period of time, you¡¯ll be giving him a grandchild, bringing happiness to Father, also?"


    "You......"


    Originally, she thought that she could stir Luo Qing Luan into feeling hurt and grieve-stricken. Who could have imagined that she would end up getting mocked instead? She was even threatened with facing Father after getting told about her scandal? How could Luo Qing Shuang still maintain her fake smiling face? She promptly red at her fuming with rage between gritted teeth.


    "Truth be told, ever since I fell into the water due to your schemes, I¡¯ve already be clear-headed. Maybe I used to admire Nangong Chen in the past, but ever since I knew that he is this kind of lowly man, never satisfied with what he has, I already no longer cherish him. Sister, if you like him, go ahead and take him."


    Luo Qing Shuang responded indignantly, "You dare to talk down on Fifth Prince?" Do you believe or not that I will go tell Father.


    Simply not taking this level of a threat seriously, Luo Qing Luan smiled instead as she said, "I¡¯m just telling you the truth. Why did you only pay attention to whether he¡¯s a lowly man or not?" Seeing that Luo Qing Shuang was about to re up again, she continued, "If Sister really like Fifth Prince, maybe I can help the two of you fulfill your wish."


    [What? She¡¯s going to give in so easily?]


    Luo Qing Shuang was both surprised and happy, yet also didn¡¯t dare to believe it entirely. After all, the matter of Luo Qing Luan pulling her into the water remained fresh in her memory. It¡¯s just that......being able to get married to Fifth Prince is her biggest dream. If Luo Qing Luan could take the initiative to withdraw, wouldn¡¯t that be the best?!


    After she sized Luo Qing Luan up and down, this figure dressed in all white, Luo Qing Shuang finally realized that the girl before her was alreadypletely different from the girl that she was before. Her pure beauty, her refinement, even though she did not apply cosmetics, she could already be considered stunning. How was this anything like herself, who needed to meticulously dress up everyday in order to barely gain her ce as the most talented and beautiful woman?


    Suppressing the envy in her heart, Luo Qing Shuang knew that for now, she¡¯d better determine as quickly as possible whether Luo Qing Luan was telling a truth or a lie. After all, this matter was too important to her.


    Turning it over in her mind, she creased her brows and said probingly, "Are you telling the truth? You¡¯re really willing to help me and Fifth Prince aplish our desires?"


    "After all, with regards to us sisters, you and Nangong Chen are a harmonious couple while I¡¯m stuck in the middle. This is also not good, right?" Luo Qing Luan continued on emotionlessly, "As long as you do one thing, it¡¯ll work."


    Since a condition was raised, this matter seems to be the truth. Luo Qing Shuang couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed. She promptly asked, "Tell me, what is it?"


    Luo Qing Luan replied in deadly earnest, "As long as Sister go before the Emperor and personally say that you carry Fifth Prince¡¯s child, then, for the sake of his future grandson, how can the emperor not agree to your marriage, right? At that time, once the imperial edict is announced, I have to withdraw even if I don¡¯t want to. Tell me, Sister, isn¡¯t this a good n?"

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8: Here Comes the Punitive Forces


    What? Have her go admit to the Emperor that she seduced Fifth Prince? Even secretly carrying a child? She is the unmarried eldest daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion. How is this not going to prevent her from even raising her head in the entire capital of Western Chu? Her reputation would fall to the bottom most pit?!


    Luo Qing Shuang was so angry that she shook from head to toe and yelled, "Luo Qing Luan, you dare to mock me?"


    "Am I mocking you?" With an appearance of pure innocence, Luo Qing Luan looked at Dai Yue for a moment, then asked, "Am I mocking Elder Sister? I¡¯m not, right?"


    Hearing this, Dai Yue also couldn¡¯t help but want tough as she covered up her mouth and replied, "How can My Lady mock Eldest Lady? My Lady is merely telling the truth."


    "You lowly servant also dares to follow along in mocking me?" Luo Qing Shuang was no longer able to endure. Her pretty face was twisted simr to a jealous woman as she pointed at Luo Qing Luan and screamed, "I¡¯m telling you, Fifth Prince is mine, don¡¯t you have any delusions. He even sent his love token to me. He simply doesn¡¯t love you!"


    As she spoke, she clenched the peacock hairpin tightly in her hand. "Do you see this. This is a gift from the Fifth Prince to me. I will be able to marry him for sure!"


    "Really?" Luo Qing Luan levelly spit out a word and abruptly elerated to advance forward. In a sh, she snatched the hairpin from the other person¡¯s hand. After that, she quickly withdrew. "Is one lousy hairpin worth unting in front of me? Even calling it some love keepsake?"


    Luo Qing Shuang threw herself forward in rm, intending to snatch it back. "Return it to me!"


    But Luo Qing Luan was already not the same person as she was before. After three days of nursing herself, she already recovered by no small amount. She already was no longer that weak and powerless girl from before. Her dress fluttering, with a turn, she avoided the advance and moved her hand away horizontally. "Don¡¯t grab randomly. Careful that you don¡¯t break your treasure."


    "Give it back!" No matter how, she couldn¡¯t snatch the hairpin back. Luo Qing Shuang also didn¡¯t dare to really put too much force into it for fear of damaging the treasure. Her feelings towards it are one thing. She was afraid that Fifth Prince would also be angry.


    She stomped her foot fiercely and red daggers at Luo Qing Luan, "If you still won¡¯t return it to me, I¡¯ll tell Father. Father knows that this hairpin is a gift from the Fifth Prince to me. You went so far as to snatch it from me. He¡¯ll punish you severely for sure!"


    "Fine, I¡¯ll return it to you. Look at how keyed up you are."


    Luo Qing Luan saw her flustered and exasperated appearance and couldn¡¯t help but find it to be humorous. "However, you dyed me from having fun in the sun. No matter what, I have to collect some interest." She looked at the peacock hairpin in her hand over and over, then her fingers moved quickly and actually dug out that biggest ruby that the peacock held in its mouth. The perfectly round, slightly cool ruby spun round and round in the palm of her hand. Luo Qing Luan smiled in satisfaction, then threw the hairpin back without the slightest hesitation.


    Luo Qing Shuang promptly caught it. With a quick look, her face turned green. "You......you......"


    She suddenly shrieked. "Luo Qing Luan, you dare to damage my hairpin! I¡¯m going to kill you!"


    Finished speaking, she charged over ¡¯baring fangs and ws¡¯. The corners of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mouth hooked up. In the instant Luo Qing Shuang threw herself over, she raised her foot. Luo Qing Luan charged with too much momentum and was simply unable to control her speed. She immediately fell t on her face.


    "Mistress!" Chun Mei saw and cried out in fear and promptly rushed over to help her up.


    "Sister, watch out. Why did you walk so unsteadily? How can you marry Fifth Prince, if you have such poor bnce?" Luo Qing Luanughed lightly, not caring that Luo Qing Shuang was wailing and cutting a sorry figure, then waved for Dai Yue to leave with her.


    With this precious ruby, Luo Qing Luan no longer had any interest in strolling around the garden. She immediately changed into male clothes and quietly left the General¡¯s Mansion. Under Dai Yue¡¯s direction, they found a pawn shop and pawned the ruby for three hundred taels of silver.


    After leaving the pawn shop, Dai Yue asked somewhat grudgingly. "My Lady, that shopkeeper was clearly cheating us. This ruby is a royal gift from Fifth Prince. At the minimum, it¡¯s worth five hundred taels. Why did you agree to three hundred?"


    Luo Qing Luan naturally knew the ruby¡¯s value, but regardless, it was something she picked up for free. How could she be attached to it? Moreover, what she needed to do most right now was to quickly make a set of better acupuncture needles. With this three hundred taels, she¡¯d be able to do it. "It¡¯s fine." She waved her hand, hardly caring at all. "Presently, we urgently need money, isn¡¯t that so? This thing isn¡¯t mine anyway. It was already able to make Elder Sister distressed and we got money for it also. Haven¡¯t we already had our cake and eat it too?"


    "Yes, My Lady is still the awesome one." Dai Yue¡¯s face shone with adoration.


    They found a silversmithing shop quite smoothly. Luo Qing Luan spent one hundred taels and directly ced an order for a set of the best quality acupuncture needles. Whether it was the materials or workmanship, both was top-notch. After only ten days, she¡¯ll be able to have them.


    Afterwards, she again took Dai Yue to eat a bowl of sesame sweet rice balls at one of the street stalls, also pot-stickers, shao mai, wontons, these kinds of foods. Once they¡¯d had their fill, Dai Yue¡¯s little belly was so round that she said quite embarrassingly. "Thank you, My Lady. I haven¡¯t eaten these delicious foods in a while."


    Luo Qing Luan smiled. "What do these count as? Being with me, in the future, you¡¯ll eat deliciously and drink well."


    Dai Yue nodded fiercely without the slightest doubt in her mind.


    A quiet night.


    Early on the second day, Luo Qing Luan had just finished freshening herself up and was about to eat breakfast when her door was pushed open. "Rotten girl, get the hell out of here. You¡¯re simply too out of control!" Luo Cheng¡¯s voice sounded inside the courtyard, brimming with fury.


    Knitting her brows, Luo Qing Luan still put down her chopsticks and walked outside ordingly. It turned out that her Father, Luo Cheng came, along with the side madam, Wang Xue Ru, within whose eyes a cold light shed. Following that, the corners of her mouth curved up, totally taking delight in another¡¯s misfortune.


    Luo Cheng saw Luo Qing Luan¡¯sing out and shouted. "Kneel down for me!"

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 9: Cold and Unkind Father


    Standing leisurely by the door, Luo Qing Luan appeared neither happy nor sad as she watched the man before her eyes known as her father, yet who had actually never cared about her before. There wasn¡¯t the slightest expression on her face.


    [It¡¯s been fifteen years. He treated her without any bit of concern, partial towards his concubine and her daughter, Luo Qing Shuang. In his mind, what did she really count as?


    Merely a chess piece, a link to the imperial household, right?


    If she were to lose her engagement with Nangong Chen, would Luo Cheng immediately kick her out of their residence, so much so that......]


    A voice directly interrupted Luo Qing Luan¡¯s train of thought. Luo Cheng saw that she remained unmoving while standing in her original spot and became even more furious. "Luo Qing Luan, you unfilial daughter, do you really care nothing about what your father says?"


    "What did Father just say?" Luo Qing Luan asked emotionlessly.


    "You......"


    Luo Cheng fumed while the concubine by his side, Wang Xue Ru, took the opportunity to say, "Master, look. I wasn¡¯t wrong, right? Qing Luan really don¡¯t know what manners are. She doesn¡¯t even listen to you. Even though her mother died ever since she was born, truly pitiful, but she is the Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee after all! If she¡¯s not taught properly, what if when she marries in the future and shame our General¡¯s Mansion? Wouldn¡¯t that make the whole worldugh?"


    A few scheming words were like adding oil to the fire. As expected, Luo Cheng¡¯s anger wasn¡¯t light. "Did you hear? Your father¡¯s concubine is so concerned about you, yet you actually did such a thing to Qing Shuang. Why have you not learn the least bit of your older sister¡¯s sensibleness and manners?"


    Most likely, yesterday, Luo Qing Shuang returned to tell on her. Luo Qing Luan now understood. Not only did that older sister of hersined, she probably also misrepresented the facts and pushed all of the faults towards her, right? Maybe Wang Xue Ru even whispered no small amount of pillow talk!


    She already knew that Luo Cheng didn¡¯t treat her as his own daughter, but she also didn¡¯t care. She descended the steps and stood in front of Luo Cheng before replying. "I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ve actually done to make Father so angry. Will Father exin clearly? I will certainly correct any mistakes."


    "You¡¯re surprisingly still feigning ignorance?"


    Luo Cheng brushed his sleeve ferociously and replied angrily. "I¡¯m asking you, the peacock hairpin that Fifth Prince sent yesterday, did you ruin it? That was a royal gift. If it weren¡¯t for our General¡¯s Mansion and the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion having a level of rtions, do you think that we can obtain such a gift so easily? Yet you even dared to damage it at will?"


    Wang Xue Ru also immediately said. "Sigh......Qing Luan, you¡¯re also too mindless. If the emperor were to know, I¡¯m afraid he will sentence us."


    She was waiting to see Luo Qing Luan lose her head out of fear, but unexpectedly, she opened her mouth to speak instead. "It¡¯s because I¡¯m the Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee that he sent the peacock hairpin to us, however.......yesterday, Elder Sister clearly told me that he gave this hairpin to her. What in the world is going on here? I¡¯m the one who¡¯s the Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee, why did this peacock hairpin get into Elder Sister¡¯s hands?"


    Even though his heart wished that the one to marry Nangong Chen would be his oldest daughter, still, at this moment, Luo Cheng had no way of iming that there¡¯s a problem with what Luo Qing Luan was saying.


    The entire state of Western Chu knew that his main daughter, Luo Qing Luan, was tasteless, utterly vulgar, and simply didn¡¯t deserve Fifth Prince. But as long as the imperial edict had not been written, there¡¯s no way to change the candidate for prince consort. Luo Qing Luan will remain unchanged in upying this position, allowing countless numbers of people tough about this matter over their cup of tea.


    (TN: The daughter of the main wife is considered the ¡¯main¡¯ daughter and is considered noble born, whereas the daughters of concubines are merely daughters, are not considered ¡¯noble¡¯, and have no titles nor inheritance no matter how old they are. When non-noble daughters married, they are also unlikely married as the main wife, but as a concubine like their mother.)


    Even if Luo Qing Luan already changed her appearance, the cumtive effect of fifteen years of nasty impressions simply was not so easy to change. No matter how Luo Cheng looked at her, she wasn¡¯t pleasing to his eyes. Now after hearing these words of hers, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. "You still have the nerve to say that? Who¡¯s to me for your formerly disgusting appearance, failing to im Fifth Prince¡¯s heart? What¡¯s wrong with him liking your older sister now? Not only do you not help out your older sister, you¡¯re jealous of her instead and ruined the gift Fifth Prince sent. In what way do you have the bearing of the noble daughter in a general¡¯s mansion?"s


    "Just because I¡¯m the main daughter, I should yield everything to Luo Qing Shuang?"


    Luo Qing Luan could no longer endure such tant biased words spoken by her father. Her face turned cold as she continued. "Father, I know that you¡¯ve always liked Elder Sister, but you also shouldn¡¯t be so biased! Am I not your daughter?"


    "You unfilial daughter, you actually dare to lecture your father......"


    Luo Cheng had not finished speaking when he was directly interrupted by Luo Qing Luan. "No matter who Fifth Prince likes, since the engagement still stands, he should not go after Elder Sister. Elder Sister knew that I¡¯m his fiancee and should also remain reserved. How could she have no sense of shame instead and hooked up with him?"


    "Oh my god¡ª-"


    Right at this moment, Wang Xue Ru¡¯splexion changed in a big way as she covered her face and cried out loud. "Qing Luan, how can you nder your own older sister like that? Qing Shuang has always been well-behaved and sensible and is even famous for being western Chu¡¯s girl of talent. How can she do something like seduce the Fifth Prince? Qing Shuang only happens to bepatible with Fifth Prince, but she absolutely adhered to etiquette and has not stepped even half a step beyond the boundaries of eptable behavior......"


    "Rebel! Rebel!"


    Luo Cheng was so angry that he shook from head to foot,plexion darkened, roaring. "Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter! How can our Luo family produce such a degenerate offspring like you? Contradicting your elders, insulting older sister, you......you......"


    His voice suddenly became higher as he pointed at Luo Qing Luan and fiercely said. "Someonee. Seize her! Whip her fifty forcefulshes!"

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10: Mistress and Servant Punished


    Seeing that Luo Qing Luan was going to be punished, Dai Yue, who had been standing obediently by the side, could no longer endure and stepped forward. Kneeling down, she begged, "Master, you can¡¯t! After all, My Lady is the future prince consort. If you punish her and injured her body, what will we do if the emperor finds out? This engagement was bestowed by the empress in those days. The empress already passed away. No matter what, Master has to give the empress face and spare My Lady, alright?"


    How would he care what Dai Yue says? With one kick then another, Luo Cheng kicked her away and said angrily. "Absolutely disgraceful! Even a little servant girl like you dare lecture this general? Luo Qing Luan, is this your underling?"


    Not tolerating words of reason, he waved his hand and shouted coldly. "As your father, today, I have to properly teach you a lesson. I¡¯ll have you understand what is a proper upbringing, what is the consequence of looking down on your elders!"


    "Throw her into the woodshed and lock it up for three days. No one is allowed to give her any food!"


    His eyes were brimming with inexhaustible coldness and loathing. Luo Cheng continued on with a dark expression, "Reflect upon yourself properly for me. If you still dare to be reckless in the future, I won¡¯t forgive you so easily!"


    He was just about to leave when he saw Dai Yue groaning with pain on the ground, then added, "Have this servant girl locked together in the woodshed!"


    "Yes, Master!"


    Without any unnecessary movement, without resisting, Luo Qing Luan was pushed by several servants with no trace of politeness, along with Dai Yue. They were locked in the woodshed in the back garden. Looking at the filthy firewood next to her, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯tin at all.


    It¡¯s just that in her heart, she already no longer regard Luo Cheng as her father.


    This man, so biased. Having her not eat for three days, didn¡¯t he clearly want her dead? Even if she didn¡¯t die from hunger, by that time, she would still be on herst breath. How could she still defend against Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s vicious attacks?


    No matter where she was, counting on other people was useless. Even her closest rtives were so cold and distant, what else could she think?


    Just wait until after she got out. She must properly make ns on how she could be free of Luo Cheng¡¯s control. Only then could she live a better life, free, at ease, and unrestrained.


    At night, cold winds blew. Cracks were everywhere around the woodshed. The cold wind caused the Qing Luan mistress servant duo to shiver uncontrobly.


    "My Lady......you, are you cold?" Clearly injured herself, yet as if she didn¡¯t feel it, Dai Yue tried hard to walk closer, but her steps were unsteady. Seeing that she¡¯s going to fall on the hard firewood, Luo Qing Luan quickly supported her.


    Only after touching did she discover that Dai Yue was ice-cold from head to toe while her forehead boiled. Most likely, after she was kicked by Luo Cheng and exposed by the cold wind, Dai Yue became ill with a fever.


    "Someonee! Someone help!" She no longer cared about much else. Luo Qing Luan only thought about calling someone here to let Dai Yue drink some medicine. Otherwise, she¡¯s afraid that Dai Yue won¡¯tst three days.


    She yelled for half a day and not only was there no one, there wasn¡¯t even the sound of movement. She then recalled that tonight, there indeed wouldn¡¯t be anyone to send them dinner. It seemed Luo Cheng was truly ruthless. He clearly knew that Dai Yue had been injured, yet locked her up. He basically wanted to punish her with death, and that could also be considered giving his daughter a lesson.


    "Dai Yue......" Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion darkened as she anxiously called out to her.


    Thanks to the moonlight, Luo Qing Luan was able to see that Dai Yue was weak and mumbled to herself, but it¡¯s unclear what she was saying. If she still didn¡¯t receive treatment, very likely, even if Dai Yue didn¡¯t die of starvation, she would die first from sickness.


    Since she was unable to call anyone, Luo Qing Luan also wasn¡¯t about to sit and wait for death. She looked left and right and noticed the firewood behind her. She immediately chose a rtively small branch and broke a piece off.


    "Having no needles, using this thing is probably barely enough to get by?" Looking at the small stick of firewood in her hand, Luo Qing Luan carefully supported Dai Yue up with one hand while the other hand held the stick of firewood and urately pressed at the relevant acupoints on her back.


    Again, she used the Ghost Hand Nine Needles method, but this time, there were no needles at the pressure points. She merely used the branch of firewood to stimte the acupoints on Dai Yue¡¯s body. Even though the effect was not as thorough, it was still better than nothing. Moreover, the stick was firmer than her fingers, so the result was slightly better than using fingers.


    With her clothes as a buffer, the stick wouldn¡¯t touch Dai Yue¡¯s body directly and wouldn¡¯t injure her. Luo Qing Yue conscientiously used the stick to stimte each and every acupoint rted to injury or colds.


    After about an hour, she finally stopped.


    Feeling Dai Yue¡¯s forehead, Luo Qing Yue let out a long breath.


    It could be considered to be effective. Dai Yue¡¯s fever already diminished. Even if Dai Yue were to have been kicked at the heart by Luo Cheng, leading to heavier internal injuries, as long as Luo Qing Luan persisted in treating her, even by using a stick of wood, she¡¯s confident that she could cure her.


    Ghost Hand Nine Needles method...how could it be ordinary!


    For a consecutive three days, Luo Qing Luan and Dai Yue were locked in the woodshed. Don¡¯t mention food, even water was not brought to them. If it weren¡¯t for the raining down on the second day, allowing the two of them to drink barely enough water. Most likely, even if they didn¡¯t starve to death, they would¡¯ve died of thirst."


    "My Lady, in the future, you really shouldn¡¯t contradict the master. Otherwise......" Dai Yue sobbed as she spoke.


    "It¡¯s alright. There won¡¯t be a next time." Luo Qing Luan replied faintly.


    Wait until they get out of this ce. She¡¯ll look for a way to make money and slowly break away from Luo Cheng¡¯s control. As for Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru, heh heh......she¡¯ll collect these debts for sure. Everyone, wait and see!

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11: Rumors Everywhere


    After three days, Luo Qing Luan and Dai Yue were allowed to return to their courtyard.


    "My Lady, that person is so vile. He¡¯s actually very disappointed to see that we¡¯vee to no harm." Dai Yue muttered very ufortably.


    "Why would you care about those people? When you have power and status, they will curry favor with you. When you¡¯re down and out, don¡¯t mention helping you, they¡¯ll step on you a few times instead. Nothing strange about it. There are too many people like that."


    Seeing their room covered with a faintyer of dust, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t pay attention to it as she said, "Don¡¯t feel bad about these people. It¡¯ll only waste time! Dai Yue, we already haven¡¯t eaten for three days, aren¡¯t you hungry?"


    Once this matter was called to mind, Dai Yue understood and promptly replied, "Yes, My Lady, I¡¯ll immediately go to the kitchen to cook."


    Seeing how she was hastily leaving, Luo Qing Luan smiled, "Why in such a rush? We¡¯ve starved for three days and you¡¯re still thinking of eating those leftovers from the kitchen? Dai Yue, don¡¯t we still have some money left? Hurry and go into town to buy some good food. Let¡¯s have a good meal."


    A smile immediately spread over Dai Yue¡¯s face, yet she was still somewhat uneasy. "My Lady, will you be able to hold on? I¡¯ll go and return as fast as I can?"


    Luo Qing Luan smilingly patted her shoulders as she recalled her former life.


    What did three days count as? There was once an urgent turn of events when she didn¡¯t eat for five days. She only depended on the medical expertise her master taught her to use acupuncture to stimte her body¡¯s hidden potential and endure.


    This time, it¡¯s been only three days. Even though she and Dai Yue are somewhat hungry, it¡¯s still not a big deal.


    "It¡¯s no problem, hurry and go. I¡¯ll wait for you. If you¡¯re hungry you can first buy something to fill you stomach with and it¡¯ll be fine."


    Dai Yueplied and quickly rushed out the door.


    The wait wasn¡¯t long before she returned. Furthermore, she was panicked and flustered. "My Lady, big problem. I left to buy stuff, and as a result I heard a lot of people spreading malicious rumors about you......"


    As she knit her brows, Luo Qing Luan already understood something. She took the paper bag in Dai Yue¡¯s hand and smelled a burst of aromas. It¡¯s still warm. She couldn¡¯t help but smile. "Come, let¡¯s eat something first......"


    Watching her mistress truly picking up a lotus seed paste ky pastry and eating it, Dai Yue also sobbed from worry. "My Lady, it really is a big problem, why are you not worried! I heard those rumors outside say that you......you......"


    "Come, drink some tea." Pretending to be displeased, Luo Qing Luan took the water that had just been boiled and poured a cup to give to Dai Yue before responding. "When encountering a problem, don¡¯t be flustered, understand, Dai Yue? Tell me properly what in the world happened."


    Maybe Luo Qing Luan¡¯s calm infected Dai Yue, but she nodded and very quickly calmed down. She held the cup of tea and spoke about what she heard a moment ago on the streets.


    "Hmm, they went so far as to say that I vilified Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s reputation and even disobeyed Father, unfilial and disobedient?" Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but feel that it was ridiculous. "What else? What else did the people outside say?"


    Dai Yue hemmed and hawed, face turning red. "Also......also criticized you for being a love...... love-struck fool, shameless ugly troll, having no sense of self-awareness, simply don¡¯t deserve Fifth Prince. Not only using your position to beat up the servants at the General¡¯s Mansion, even harming the oldest daughter to the point she nearly drowned and died......"


    "My Lady, they¡¯re practically spouting whatever they want!"


    Dai Yue was unable to recount any further, her little face was so angry that it turned red. "Things simply aren¡¯t like that. They¡¯re all spreading baseless rumors! I wanted to exin some things, but they even wanted to hit me, I......I can only quickly run home......"


    Towards the end, her voice became softer and softer, even her head drooped. Besides the Luo Qing Shuang mother and daughter, who else could spread these words? Luo Qing Luan had no doubt.


    This sister of hers had truly racked her brains for the sake of destroying her! Those baseless words also could only be so vivid and realistic if she was the one who arranged them, making so many people believe them.


    They nearly made her out to be reckless enough to provoke the heavens, daring enough to rebel!


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. Although she ran into Luo Qing Shuang only a few short times, she already knew Qing Shuang¡¯s character and personality, but she really still didn¡¯t expect that Qing Shuang would be so impatient! Most likely, Qing Shuang thought about being Nangong Chen¡¯s fiancee so much that she couldn¡¯t even sleep well at night, right?


    "My Lady, what should be done now? They started these baseless rumors. If the master and Fifth Prince were to find out, I¡¯m afraid that you......"


    Taking a nce at the simple Dai Yue, Luo Qing Luan opened her lips. "I¡¯m afraid they already know of it."


    She had barely finished speaking when a burst of morous voices sounded, almost as if their little courtyard was suddenly filled with a lot of people. Luo Qing Luan turned to look outside the window. The figure walking at the very front made her jump. She immediately looked for a veil to cover her face. After that, she then opened the door and walked outside. Sure enough, as expected, all of the people within the General¡¯s Mansion with any influence or importance hade.


    And the ones standing at the very front were Luo Cheng and Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen. Without waiting for Luo Qing Luan to open her mouth, an ashen faced Luo Cheng already shouted, "What are you nking out for? Don¡¯t you see that Fifth Prince is here? Still noting over to pay your respects?"


    "No need!"


    A splendidly dressed and umonly handsome Nangong Chen, whose entire person screamed nobility, waved the back of his hand and stood in the middle of the courtyard. He spoke in a gloomy, cold, collected demeanor. "General Luo, I¡¯ve already decided. Today, I have to break my engagement with your daughter!"

    *Deep Bow*

 Chapter 12

    Chapter 12: Forced to Break Off Engagement


    After taking one look around her little courtyard, Luo Qing Yuan recorded everyone¡¯s expression.


    Luo Cheng seemed to have known earlier that Nangong Chen wanted to break the engagement. His expression was quite unsightly. The gaze with which he looked at her was devoid of the slightest amount of affection or worry that a father ought to have for his daughter. As for Nangong Chen, this Western Chu¡¯s Fifth Prince, the man Luo Qing Shuang had always been infatuated with, his eyes only reflected disgust for her, as if she was the dirtiest thing on earth. Even taking one nce at her was one nce too many.


    As for Luo Qing Shuang, she dressed herself up with utmost care today, appearing beautiful and touching, enchanting and graceful, obediently standing next to Side Madam Wang Xue Ru. And her mother, a face wearing a cold smile. It¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s waiting to watch a good show.


    [It would seem that each and every one of these people who came today are quite impressive opponents!]


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan not making a sound for a long time, Luo Cheng looked as if he¡¯d lost face and said darkly, "Luo Qing Luan, did you not hear what I said? Still noting over here!"


    Eventually walking over, Luo Qing Luan looked straight ahead levelly, then replied softy. "Father, you¡¯re looking for me?"


    Even though he felt that this girl seemed to be a little different from the past, Nangong Chen still didn¡¯t dwell on it and immediately said, "It¡¯s I who is looking for you!"


    "Oh, Fifth Prince is looking for me?" Deliberately feigning an appearance of innocence. Luo Qing Luan wore a nk expression.


    "Younger Sister, things having reached this stage, why must you still pretend?" Luo Qing Shuang seized the opportunity to speak. She slowly walked forward and sighed in a helpless and regretful manner before speaking. "I know you¡¯ve been infatuated by Fifth Prince ever since you were little and frequently said to me that you have to marry him. But......you really shouldn¡¯t have ndered me. I¡¯m your older sister!"


    As she was speaking, the rims of her eyes turned red, then she sobbed spasmodically. "I never thought that you, my younger sister, would actually dispatch people to spread those rumors, saying that I injured you. Sister Qing Luan, we grew up together all our lives. How have I treated you, can you really have no conscience? Unexpectedly......unexpectedly, you ruined my reputation like that......"


    "Qing Shuang, you need not say more. This prince will speak on your behalf!"


    Nangong Chen cast a fierce re at Luo Qing Luan and said with disgust, "You, woman! Did you think that using a veil to cover up your face will hide your repulsiveness? Qing Shuang is so beautiful and kind-hearted, and is even your sister. You surprisingly pushed her into the water in a futile attempt to drown her. How could you do that! This prince is telling you, no matter what kind of delusions you may have, I absolutely will not take you for a wife, so give it up!"


    Last time, she personally saw Nangong Chen and Luo Qing Luan embracing and grabbing one another. They even did such disgusting things. Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t have any good opinion about him. She made a soft mocking sound, then spoke. "Fifth Prince really want to break off our engagement?"


    Nangong Chen harumphed. "If imperial mother had not already passed away, do you think that this prince would have dragged this matter for this long? You malicious, ugly woman. Looking at you make me nauseated. Is it possible that you truly are under the delusion that this prince will marry you?"


    Listening up to this point, Dai Yue became anxious and even thought that Fifth Prince was actually mislead by those rumors, so she rushed forward at once and exined. "Fifth Prince, it¡¯s not like that. You shouldn¡¯t wrong our youngdy......"


    "Audacious! Fifth Prince is speaking. How can a servant girl like you butt in" Luo Qing Shuang¡¯splexion changed as she continued, "Today, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson on behalf of my sister. Chun Mei, p her for me!"


    "Stop!" Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression finally changed.


    "Impudent! When is it your turn to make decisions here?" Luo Cheng took one step forward, so angry that blue veins popped out on his neck. He shouted. "This servant, Dai Yue, spoke insolently again and again. Last time, I already forgave her, yet this time, she actually still dare to shoot her mouth off? Beat her for me!"


    "Yes, Master!" Once Chun Mei heard this, she rushed to face Dai Yue, an evil grin on her face. She ruthlessly hit Dai Yue¡¯s face with one p after another.


    p p p!


    Several ps without holding back anything. Dai Yue¡¯s face immediately became red through and through. One could be well aware how ruthless Chun Mei¡¯s ps were! Yet Dai Yue did not dare to move, afraid that if she said anything more, she¡¯d implicate her mistress. Even if her face hurt more, she would still stand there and allow Chun Mei to hit her.


    Luo Qing Luan clenched her teeth as she watched.


    Dai Yue was loyal and devoted to her. Dai Yue merely said a few words, that¡¯s all, yet she received this kind of punishment. This was simply more painful than if she was beaten herself!


    Luo Qing Shuang smilingly watched her, then said earnestly, "Sister, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m deliberately punishing your servant. If word spread that there are no rules in the General¡¯s Mansion, how would we not be ridiculed by others? Furthermore, Fifth Prince is also here today. You should discern right and wrong even more. There¡¯s a difference between superiors and subordinates. Sister is only helping you teach your servant, that¡¯s all. Please don¡¯t take offense."


    Seeing Dai Yue so pained that her tears were now flowing, how could Luo Qing Luan still care about so much?


    She immediately walked over and grabbed Chun Mei¡¯s hand, pushing it away as she shouted coldly. "Get out of the way! If you still dare to continue, don¡¯t me me for also giving you a beating."


    "Second Lady, you......" Chun Mei was not reconciled at all, but was intimidated by the coldness in her eyes. In the end, she didn¡¯t dare to continue, and embarrassingly retreated to one side.


    "Great, you¡¯ve truly rebelled, rebelled! You even dared to ignore my words, your own father¡¯s words."


    Luo Cheng was so angry that hisplexion ashened. He shouted coldly, "Luo Qing Luan, this attitude of yours, how are you still worthy to be the future prince consort? Originally, as your father, I even thought of trying to persuade Fifth Prince. That is now apparently no longer necessary!"


    Nangong Chen also spoke up right away. "That¡¯s right. This very day, this Prince will enter the pce to report to Imperial Father and have him issue an edict to revoke our engagement!"

 Chapter 13

    Chapter 13: Preparing to Retaliate


    Watching Wang Xue Ru¡¯scency as she led Luo Qing Shuang and left, and even Luo Cheng¡¯s cold and detached and loathing nce before he left, Luo Qing Luan finally became angry.


    These so-called rtives, each and every one treated her as a thorn in their side, wishing to see her make a fool of herself and humiliated, so much so that it¡¯s even better if she died.


    She originally was going to make a proper n and slowly put them in their ce. It would seem that she was still not ruthless enough!


    "Dai Yue, does it hurt?"


    Experiencing her mistress personally putting medicine on her, Dai Yue seemed to not even feel pain anymore. "My Lady, I¡¯m not in pain."


    "Foolish girl. You were pped so severely, how can you not be in pain? I only want to tell you this. Those people who pped you today, I will help you pay back each and every one of them the same way. Have them know that there¡¯s also a limit to my patience."


    "My Lady, don¡¯t act recklessly!"


    Dai Yue was rmed and promptly dered, "I¡¯m really not hurting. I was merely pped a few times, that¡¯s all. Servants have coarse and thick skin. It¡¯s really nothing serious. My Lady, don¡¯t provoke Master because of me."


    Shaking her head lightly, Luo Qing Luan applied the medicine even more gently and responded. "Give them an inch and they¡¯ll want a mile. If we still don¡¯t retaliate, it¡¯ll only make them bully us even more miserably. Dai Yue, don¡¯t worry, your mistress is also not stupid. I¡¯ll naturally think of a good way such that they can¡¯t argue even if they have mouths."


    ......


    The second day. The red inmmation on Dai Yue¡¯s face had basically dissolved. This was all thanks to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s medical expertise. She merely found some medicinal herbs in the garden which were effective for reducing swelling and dissolving bruises andbined them appropriately to produce nearly miraculous results. She had no choice but to admit that the skills she learned in her previous life from the Ghost Doctor were quite practical.


    After examining Dai Yue¡¯s recovering face, Luo Qing Luan was relieved. She spoke gently. "It¡¯s good now. Dai Yue, go find me two sets of men¡¯s clothes. We¡¯ll go have a look around the streets."


    Nangong Chen said that he wanted to break off their engagement. Even though she had not received the imperial edict, yet, she should still personally go out and ask around. Who knew if anything else happened? Since she already prepared to make a move, it¡¯s best that she catch hold of the enemy¡¯s decisive moment. Maybe taking a stroll would allow her to think of a way to take revenge on Luo Qing Shuang.


    Having changed to a simple, green outfit, Dai Yue thenbed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hair into a man¡¯s bun. Using a strip of cloth, she tied it up neatly. Even though Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t look very wealthy, her look still had a young man¡¯s rather elegant and graceful bearing. If someone wasn¡¯t familiar with her, they simply would not recognize that she was actually a female.


    Pushing open the little gate to the rear courtyard, Luo Qing Luan left the mansion once again.


    This time, she brought Dai Yue and walked as she wished, not nearly as hurried asst time.


    The capital of the state of Western Chu was flourishing and wealthy. Endless crowds of people came and went. There were merchants hastily pulling their wares. There were farmers carrying vegetables on their shoulders. There were also youths peddling their goods by the side of the street, married women selling their needlework. Shops lined the entire street unendingly, unusually bustling with noise and activity.


    "My Lady very rarely went outside in the past. This time, we can properly stroll around." Dai Yue had just finished speaking when her eyes shined from what she saw out front. "Ah, I see someone selling candied fruits on a stick!"


    This girl, really so simple-minded. Yesterday, she was crying because of the pain on her face, yet today, she alreadypletely forgot about it. Luo Qing Luan also couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. Dai Yue truly was simple and lovable, not bearing grudges in the least, but it¡¯s also good like that. Living a simple life would allow her to be happy.


    Taking the candied fruit offered to her, Dai Yue felt somewhat embarrassed eating them. "My Lady, would you like to eat some?"


    Smiling slightly, Luo Qing Yuan answered. "You eat them yourself. Oh yeah, remember to call me Young Master, to avoid exposing ourselves."


    Dai Yue promptly nodded her head. As she pigged out on the candied fruits, a huge circle of syrup adhered around her lips.


    Strolling straight forward, Luo Qing Luan moved aimlessly, but when she passed a teahouse, there was the sound of a storyteller on the second story stirring up cheers from customers. "Sooner said than done, the fellow shouted loudly and swung his bowl sized fist and aimed it at the evil tyrant......"


    "Young Master, do you like listening to stories?" Dai Yue asked from behind her.


    Luo Qing Luan was certainly not very interested listening to stories. It¡¯s just that this scene seemed to cause something to sh through her mind. But it was too quick and she still couldn¡¯t grasp it. She was just going to leave when someone unexpectedly came up beside her. He smilingly rushed towards her quietly. "Sir, I have the best ¡¯stuff¡¯ here. Would you like to buy some?"


    One look at this person¡¯s shifty appearance, and she knew that this was nothing good, but Luo Qing Luan had always been inquisitive. She wanted to know just what kind of good ¡¯stuff¡¯ this person was really talking about. She replied indifferently. "Just you? What kind of good ¡¯stuff¡¯ can you have?"


    This person became somewhat anxious. "Sigh, young sir, how can you not believe people like that? Wouldn¡¯t you know if there¡¯s anything good once you looked at them? Moreover, they¡¯re not expensive. Two taels of silver for each title. How about looking at the goods first before saying anything else?"


    One title? Could they be books?


    Luo Qing Luan became even more curious. What kind of book could be sold for two silver taels each?


    She increasingly wanted to know what kind of godly books these were. She brought Dai Yue along to follow this person in walking to the beginning of a small alley. Seeing that there were much fewer people walking around, that person finally mysteriously and furtively fished out a little booklet with a blue cover from his chest and handed it to her. He winked at her a couple of times before saying ambiguously, "I guarantee you¡¯ll be satisfied!"


    On the cover, four words were written neatly "One Hundred Poetic Verses". There¡¯s nothing unusual about it at all, but when Luo Qing Luan opened it up to read, it surprisingly was absolutely not a verse book. Rather, it was novel. It¡¯s just that......

 Chapter 14

    Chapter 14: A Good Method to Bring Luo Qing Shuang Under Control


    The story written in the small booklet wasn¡¯t an ordinary one at all. Rather, it was that sort of romance novel about a pair of lovers. It¡¯s just that the people depicted in the story apparently had no ability whatsoever. They were merely an unfortunate schr and an official¡¯s daughter. After the youngdy offered him shelter, the two of them secretly formed a rtionship. It was a rudimentary, senseless narrative.


    The entire book only focused on the schr and youngdy¡¯s ambiguous rtionship. Something about meeting at the back garden, how the two people made eyes at each other, how they finally kissed......Compared to the genuinely first-rate romance books Luo Qing Luan used to read in her previous life, or those erotic romance movies, the difference wasn¡¯t only three or five levels.


    "How is it, young sir, isn¡¯t this book quite energizing? Isn¡¯t it interesting?!" That person wearing a lustful face moved closer.


    It turned out he was selling a low level romance novel. Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t the least bit interested. "This book of yours......"


    She was just going to refuse when it seemed as if lightning shed through her brain. After turning it over in her mind a few times, Luo Qing Luan already had a n. She assumed a very interested appearance and continue, "Is there only this one book? Do you have any other titles?"


    [Sure enough, one look was all it took for this young man to be interested.] That person became even more enthusiastic and even threw her an ambiguous meaningful nce. "Hee hee, did you also buyst month¡¯s book? This is not the sort of content that just any random person can write. How can there be more? I¡¯ve already sold more than twenty books this morning alone. If you don¡¯t hurry and im one, there certainly won¡¯t be anymore!"


    It¡¯s surprisingly in such high demand. Apparently, no matter in which era, there would always be some men who liked to peek at this kind of thing behind people¡¯s backs .


    Luo Qing Luan became even more confident and asked, "How many more books do you have?"


    "A total of two hundred were produced. I still have five of them here. Do you want them all?"


    "But, two taels of silver for each......" She pretended toin about the high price. "How about lowering the price a little?"


    "That won¡¯t do. Two taels is already considered cheap. Other people are even buying them for three taels!"


    Seeing how Luo Qing Luan had been haggling, that person really believed that she did not have the means to pay and his expression immediately changed. "Unexpectedly just a moneyless devil and you¡¯re seeking pleasure? Don¡¯t waste your breath!" After saying so, the little book was snatched back and with a quick turn around, he left.


    Dai Yue watched that person leave before she came over to ask, "My Lady, what book did you want to buy just now?"


    The n in her mind already developed detailed steps. Luo Qing Luan was very satisfied. She smiled faintly. "It¡¯s not important what kind of book I wanted to buy. What¡¯s important is......Dai Yue, let¡¯s quickly go buy some brushes, ink, and paper. After that, let¡¯s return home."


    She didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a coincidental opportunity, allowing her to find a way to bring Luo Qing Shuang under control. Wait until everything is ready. By that time, Luo Qing Shuang won¡¯t be able to argue even if she had a hundred mouths and her name will spread through the entire state of Western Chu!


    Wasn¡¯t she fond of the limelight? Then let¡¯s allow her to have enough of it!


    After returning to the general¡¯s mansion, Luo Qing Luan started about her task.


    To begin with, Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chen¡¯s matter was something that she saw clearly with her own eyes. Moreover, everything that happened before were genuine people and true events, only some details were needed. Adding to that experiences from her previous life and she very quickly spread out the paper, then picked up the brush.


    "My Lady, what are you writing?" Dai Yue was very curious.


    "Writing a story."


    Writing brush in hand, this was the first time that she used this sort of instrument. Even though the writing tip was very soft, it still posed no problem for her. Just a bit of control over her strength and it was fine.


    In the past, this body¡¯s former owner also learned to write ever since she was small. Even though there was a little bit of unfamiliarity, very quickly, she was able to steady her brush and the words that she carefully thought about made their appearance on the paper one after another.


    Dai Yue watched from the side in a very interested manner. "My Lady even knows how to write stories, how awesome. What kind of story are you going to write?"


    After finishing a sentence, Luo Qing Luan lifted her head to look at her, then returned a knowing smile. "Dai Yue, you¡¯re still young. You won¡¯t be able to make sense of these kinds of stories, but you only need to know that once this story is finished, we will get rich."


    "Really? Stories can even be sold for money?" Dai Yue was both surprised and happy.


    "Don¡¯t worry. I already said that we¡¯ll be rich in the future. You just rx and it¡¯ll be fine. Help me stand guard outside. Quickly notify me, if someonees."


    "No problem, My Lady." Dai Yue delightedly left.


    With the door to her room closed, Luo Qing Luan wrote, face brimming with slyness. She wanted to write down all of those rotten details between Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chen. How Luo Qing Shuang made sheep eyes from the very beginning to how she deliberately threw herself into his arms afterwards, especially howst time, what kind of thing the two of them were doing openly under the walkway at the back garden. She must write everything down distinctly and thoroughly, inly and clearly, absolutely not leaving out a single detail.


    Didn¡¯t Luo Qing Shuang like Nangong Chen and wished to marry him? She will help Luo Qing Shuang properly make everything public so that everyone in the state of Western Chu will know how the general¡¯s daughter who everyone believed to be educated and well-bnced, sweet-tempered and kindhearted, how contemptible she had been behind everyone¡¯s back, seducing her younger sister¡¯s fiancee!


    Of course, Luo Qing Luan also wouldn¡¯t be so blunt to openly write the names ¡¯Luo Qing Shuang¡¯ and ¡¯Nangong Chen¡¯. After all, one is a general¡¯s daughter and the other is the Fifth Imperial Prince. If news of this were to reach the imperial pce, it¡¯ll be bad.


    Five dayster, everything was ready. Luo Qing Luan put the narrative she just finished writing in her pocket. As before, she dressed in men¡¯s clothing and went out.


    Today, she wanted to go sell this erotic little romance which will fire up the entire capital!

 Chapter 15

    <strong>Chapter 15: Pushing the Slutty Female and Dishonorable Male Into the Limelight</strong>


    When Luo Qing Luan left the residence this time,pared tost time, besides dressing as a man, she also put on some makeup to cover up her skin color. She disguised herself as a slight built man with a dark face.


    She going to make a business transaction that should not be exposed. She certainly could not be discovered.


    Arriving at the vicinity where that person was selling the bookletst time, Luo Qing Luan looked left and right. As expected, she discovered a store called the ¡®Hundred Taste Study¡¯. It¡¯s quite possible that person was an assistant for this store.


    Entering the store, the boss indeed greeted them very politely. ¡°Customer, what book would you like to buy? Our store has the mostprehensive selection. We have every kind of books.¡±


    ¡°You really have every kind of books?¡± Luo Qing Luan lowered her voice.


    ¡°Of course!¡±


    The owner immediately pat his chest as a guarantee. ¡°By all means tell me what kind of book you¡¯d like to buy. I¡¯ll quickly fetch it for you.¡±


    Noticing that there¡¯s no one in the shop, Luo Qing Luan walked closer to him and spoke in a hushed voice. ¡°Do you have that kind of......umm, you know that kind of book? Boss, you understand~~! The price is not a problem, as long as you have it.¡±


    He nked out at first, but the owner quickly reacted and suddenly changed his expression, then smiled ambiguously. ¡°So you actually like that kind of book. That¡¯s easy, just wait a moment. I¡¯ll find a few for you to look at.¡±


    Very quickly, he felt for a couple of books under the sales counter and handed them over to Luo Qing Luan with a smile. ¡°Customer, please take a look. Is this the type of book you¡¯re looking for?¡±


    Casually taking it, Luo Qing Luan knit her brows then said. ¡°Sigh, not quite right, Boss. Aren¡¯t these too boring? Don¡¯t you have better ones? I already said that money is not a problem. Don¡¯t hide them, don¡¯t keep them from me!¡±


    ¡°How is this book not good? These two are actually the newest ones. Other stores don¡¯t even have them, yet, and you evenin that they¡¯re not good?¡± The owner was somewhat unhappy.


    ¡°Say, Boss, is it because you haven¡¯t seen even better ones! Surprisingly, you are actually able to sell trash like these two books?¡± As Luo Qing Luan spoke, she took out the one she prepared earlier and handed it to him, then pat his shoulder while continuing, ¡°Look at this yourself. The ones I want are of this quality. Do you have any?¡±


    The owner epted the book with a face full of skepticism, before reading a few pages. His expression then changed as his whole body trembled from excitement. ¡°Customer, your book......simply is of the highest quality. Where did you buy it, will you tell me?¡±


    ¡°This is something my cousin brought back from Vietnam. After reading it, I wanted to find some more simr ones. I originally thought that your store would carry some.....can¡¯t do anything about it since we¡¯re not talking about the same thing!¡±


    Luo Qing Luan sported an exaggerated expression of kindred spirits feeling regretful that they couldn¡¯t do business. The kind of expression where the heart itches unbearably, yet could not help but make the decision.


    ¡°Forget it, forget it. Not here then I¡¯ll go look in another store......¡±


    Luo Qing Luan assumed an appearance of wanting to leave. As expected, the owner called her to stop. ¡°Visitor, wait a moment, do you want to make some money?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m very interested in this little book of yours. Is it possible for you to sell it to me? I¡¯ll pay ten taels of silver, how about it?¡± The owner spoke with a mischievous chuckle. Afraid that Luo Qing Luan would truly leave, he rushed outside to block her exit.


    Luo Qing Yue smiled. How could she not understand the owner¡¯s intention. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re taking me for a fool. Only ten taels and you want to buy my highest quality book?¡±


    The owner¡¯s face turned red as he reasoned. ¡°Ten taels is already a high price. The most expensive book in my store is only five taels of silver! I just happened to have a younger brother who also likes to read this kind of book, that¡¯s why I thought......¡±


    ¡°Boss, don¡¯t try to hoodwink me. Don¡¯t tell me that it¡¯s not because this book came all the way from Vietnam and there¡¯s none in our state of Western Chu. That¡¯s why you wanted to buy it and put it into print, selling a huge batch and eating up all of the profits yourself? This is the real reason why you want to buy my book, have I guessed correctly?¡±


    ¡°Uh......heh heh, since you already know, then I won¡¯t hide it from you. How about I give you fifty taels?¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled levelly, then raised the booklet in her hand. ¡°I can sell it to you, but I want five hundred taels!¡±


    ¡°What, five hundred taels?¡± The owner opened his eyes wide in surprise. ¡°Impossible!¡±


    ¡°Five hundred taels is already considered giving it to you cheap. Boss,e, let me help you calcte.¡±


    After Luo Qing Luan clearly and logically exined to him everything about how to market the book, and when she exined how each book can sell for five taels, the owner had no choice but to concede.


    As someone who had been in business for so many years, how could he not know the facts of the matter? An ordinary title was already two taels each book. This book from Vietnam is of the highest quality. To sell it for five taels is indeed not expensive.


    Moreover, as for the kinds of customers who buys this kind of book, who among them wasn¡¯t the son of a rich family, or schrs whocked neither clothes, nor food? Was it possible that they couldn¡¯t spare an insignificant five taels?


    Just when the owner intended to close the deal, Luo Qing Luan opened her mouth again. ¡°Besides this book in my hand, I also have an illustrated version at home. Now reading that is what I¡¯d call exciting. I guarantee that you¡¯ll feel like you¡¯re there!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    The owner was so excited that his voice cracked. ¡°There¡¯s also an illustrated version? That¡¯s terrific! Come, let us have a proper chat about the price......¡±


    After Luo Qing Luan left ¡®Hundred Taste Study¡¯, her footstep became increasingly light and quick.


    [Heh heh......soon, no more than several days, Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chen will fire up the entire state of Western Chu.]

 Chapter 16

    Chapter 16: The Capital Goes Wild


    <h4></h4>


    Five dayster.


    The little courtyard where Luo Qing Luan lives is as before, simple and crude.


    The greenish ck tiles were full of spots and cracks, doors and walls were also somewhat mottled. There wasn¡¯t any changes as a result of Luo Qing Luan having earned a huge amount of money. It¡¯s not because she wouldn¡¯t have liked the improvement, it¡¯s just that she was unwilling to have other people discover anything unusual, especially the Luo Qing Shuang mother and daughter. Otherwise, there¡¯ll likely be trouble.


    This could be considered the first time that she made a business deal with Boss Li. The initial payment was one thousand taels. As for after that, the two of them agreed that the rest would be distributed based on profit from the sales. Luo Qing Luan, as the one supplying the original work, had control over the decision making. Moreover, if she didn¡¯t partner with Hundred Taste Study, she could partner with another store. Therefore, Boss Li had no choice but to give her forty percent of the profits.


    Just then, Boss Li had sent someone to deliver her the first distribution of profits. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s share was already four thousand taels. It¡¯s obvious how big of a sensation was created by her book that she traded along with the erotic illustrated version.


    As for Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chen¡¯s reputation......


    The great hall in the general¡¯s mansion. Nangong Chen and Luo Qing Shuang arrived earlier precisely because of this reason. Theirplexions were of the same ink ck.


    "What in the world is going on? Tell me! Simply shameful......" Luo Cheng was fuming in anger as he red at his precious daughter, Luo Qing Shuang, sitting next to the highest position.


    This matter started spreading since yesterday. It had only been one day, yet had already set the entire capital abuzz. He originally even thought that this was just a joke some bored person was fooling around with for fun, nothing more than some romance novel. There were plenty of these kinds of books, basically none of which were worth taken seriously.


    But today, after the imperial court morning session, a fellow official pulled Luo Cheng aside. With a strange smile, the official asked Luo Cheng about the book and even handed a copy over. Only then did Luo Cheng know what happened.


    The General¡¯s Mansions¡¯ oldest daughter, his most beloved daughter, Luo Qing Shuang, had actually been written into a novel. And the fifth prince was also dragged in together, weaved into a nauseating story, as entertainment for people.


    Even though the book did not mention their names, it might as well have. The setting of the General¡¯s Mansion and the eldest daughter as the female character. Only the names were changed. Who wouldn¡¯t be able to tell!


    The book described in detail how flirtatious that eldest daughter was, how she seduced a prince. The scenes depicted were unbearable to look at. Furthermore, it was even supplemented by a set of erotic drawings. Just thinking about the way his colleague looked at him, and Luo Cheng¡¯s face was so filled with shame that he nearly dripped blood. If the leading characters didn¡¯t implicate Fifth Prince, he had been so angry that he nearly resolved to put Luo Qing Shuang in order.


    "What does this have to do with our Qing Shuang? She is also a victim who¡¯s been wounded!" The side madam, Wang Xue Ru, promptly defended her daughter. "My Lord, how can you turn your anger on Qing Shuang?"


    "Father, I¡¯m too embarrassed to see anybody now! Boo hoo hoo......"


    Her tears were like raindrops on a pear blossom (teary beauty). Luo Qing Shuang practically fainted on Wang Xue Ru¡¯s bosom. Even breathing was difficult through her sobs. No matter what, she never thought that this kind of thing would happen. How would she still have the face to meet those upper ss youngdies in the future, ordies from the imperial family!


    "Fifth Prince, you have to stand up for our Qing Shuang! This matter is truly.....surprisingly, even you, Fifth Prince, are involved as well. After all is said and done, just who is so reckless to have created this mess?"


    Luo Cheng was beyond anxious. This kind of matter really caused the most harm to an unmarried girl and can be considered a cmity of great proportions. If it¡¯s not dealt with properly, don¡¯t even mention being too embarrassed to meet people, the entire General¡¯s Mansion also won¡¯t be able to lift their heads and live properly!


    Dark clouds covering his face, Nangong Chen can practically imagine how detrimental it would be for him if his imperial father found out about this matter!


    He normally already didn¡¯t have his imperial father¡¯s favor and ordinarily, very rarely received a smile from Him. If those brothers of his took advantage of this matter and used it to file aint, he¡¯s afraid even his position as the fifth prince would be lost!


    He already sent someone to visit that bookstore to investigate. Unfortunately, that owner was a man with extensive experience and didn¡¯t reveal anything. Even when his subordinate tried to suppress the owner by bringing out his name, the owner immediately brought out his even more powerful behind-the-scenes backer. Damn it! Unexpectedly, even a bookstore had a supporter that was no less powerful than him. Moreover, the book did not mention his name. If he continued to seriously pursue the matter, how would that be any different from him admitting that he¡¯s involved?


    "General Luo, this matter has already spread through the entire capital. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s already impossible to suppress it."


    Luo Cheng¡¯s heart constricted while his voice trembled. "Don¡¯t tell me......even you, Fifth Prince, don¡¯t have a solution?".


    Nangong Chen already considered all of the stakes involved. Even though this matter had caused quite a sensation, still, nobody dared to say outright that the book¡¯s leading characters were him and Luo Qing Shuang. This could still be considered the most fortunate point.


    Each and every advantage had a disadvantage. When he thought about Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s position and also the tender and affable way she treated him ordinarily, Nangong Chen already made a decision. He turned his head to look at Luo Cheng and spoke in a lowered voice. "General Luo, to settle this matter and to redeem Qing Shuang¡¯s and my reputation, there¡¯s only one way."


    "What way?" Not to mention Luo Cheng, even Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru also fixed their gaze on Nangong Chen.


    "I¡¯ll go and tell imperial father that I want to take Qing Shuang as my main consort!"


    ..........


    Inside a warm room, the current emperor of Wester Chu was sitting on a soft divan, looking gloomily at Nangong Chen kneeling before him.


    "What did you say? Say it again!"


    Clearly discernible in his voice was controlled anger. Nangong Chen didn¡¯t have to raise his head to be able to imagine what his imperial father¡¯splexion looked like right now. However, he had no choice, but to do this. This is the only method capable of resolving this matter. Not only could it eliminate bad impressions, it could also allow him to start receiving his father¡¯s favor again.


    Therefore, even though he was nervous, Nangong Chen also had to take the risk. He knocked his head on the floor again and dered with unflinching resolution. "That¡¯s right, your son request that imperial father cancel the engagement between me and General Luo¡¯s daughter, Luo Qing Luan, and change the future consort to Luo Qing Shuang."

 Chapter 17

    Chapter 17: Nn Ye¡¯s Idea


    <h4></h4>


    Intense pressure, simr to the heavy atmosphere preceding mountain rains. Once his words were spoken, Nangong Chen immediately felt a fit of rage assaulting his senses. Even if he was even more mentally prepared, he would still have been scared stiff.


    If his gamble was not sessful, he would absolutely be destroyed!


    Withstanding his father¡¯s imperial might, Nangong Chen kowtowed again and again. "I beseech Imperial Father to make me whole!"


    "The second daughter, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s appearance is ugly, her bearing vulgar. I have been harassed by her before on many asions. At that time, Imperial Mother arranged marriage on my behalf also in consideration of General Luo¡¯s impressive military glory as well as Madam Luo¡¯s education and virtues. But how can Imperial Mother imagine that after their second daughter grew up, she unexpectedly became a love-struck, ugly fool. How can she be the prince¡¯s consort?"


    "Just because of that, you want to go against your imperial mother¡¯s bequeathal?" Western Chu¡¯s emperor shouted with anger boiling inside.


    Nangong Chen just started to answer when unexpectedly, an indistinct voice sounded from his side.


    "Has Your Majesty personally seen the second Miss Luo before?"


    This voice came so suddenly, Nangong Chen simply didn¡¯t think that there was yet another person in the warm room. His heart gave a start. He already recognized the owner of this voice ¡ª- Nn Ye!


    Western Chu¡¯s only prince with a differentst name, he oncemanded one hundred thousand soldiers and defeated the country of South Vietnam, directly promoting Western Chu from being the smallest and weakest country into the second most powerful position. One can well imagine his ability!


    If it was another person who had made such arge contribution, they would surely suppress their lord, but Nn Ye wasn¡¯t the least bit reluctant to part with power. Not long after he returned, he handed over the military power. Western Chu¡¯s emperor recalled his loyalty fondly and especially bestowed upon him the honorific title of ¡¯Prince of Chu¡¯. He became the first and only prince with a differentst name in Western Chu¡¯s over three hundred years history.


    Nangong Chen is merely an unfavored fifth prince. Last time, he felt ufortable all over when Nn Ye apanied him to the General¡¯s Mansion. Now, he suddenly heard this voice and found himself trembling from head to foot. Even words wouldn¡¯te out of his mouth anymore.


    It was clear that Western Chu¡¯s emperor was in Nn Ye¡¯spany previously and wasn¡¯t startled by the sudden question at all. On the contrary, he smiled slightly. "Oh, is it possible you¡¯ve seen Luo Qing Luan before?"


    Behind a bead curtain, Nn Ye parted the screen with the back of his hand and came out. Nangong Chen carefully stole a peek and only saw his expressionless face, but hidden in the depths of his eyes was coldness, like an eternally frozen cier. Just one nce made Nangon Chen¡¯s entire body feel ice-cold. He hurriedly bowed his head and didn¡¯t dare to continue.


    Nn Ye actually didn¡¯t reply but only cupped his hands towards the emperor in obeisance, then sat down at the next to highest position before speaking. "Fifth Prince, do you truly want to break the engagement, because Luo Qing Luan is extremely vulgar?"


    His heart skipping a beat, Nangong Chen quickly replied. "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, didn¡¯t you also go to the general¡¯s mansionst time? That Luo Qing Luan is the general¡¯s daughter with his main wife, so she¡¯s a nobledy, but she doesn¡¯t have the least bit of a nobledy¡¯s bearing. She actually fell into a pond and nearly drowned. Her disgraceful situation was something quite a few servants also saw. Such a careless person, how can I marry her?"


    "But why did I hear that it¡¯s because of saving her own sister that she jumped down despite of risk to her life?"


    When the emperor heard this, he was surprised. "So that means that Luo Cheng¡¯s second daughter is unexpectedly so brave and loyal? Hmm, that¡¯s actually not bad." As he spoke, he nodded his head praising her incessantly, seemingly starting to appreciate his future daughter-inw.


    Once he heard this, Nangong Chen became even more panicked, so panicked he spoke without choosing his words. "But, Imperial Father, I really don¡¯t like her."


    The corners of Nn Ye¡¯s mouth curved up as he coldly asked, "Then who does Fifth Prince like?"


    Things having reached this stage, Nangong Chen braced himself and could only speak about the matter which spread throughout the capital, beseeching, "Imperial Father, even if I¡¯m engaged to the second Miss Luo, the people don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on at all. Presently, I don¡¯t know who the eldest Miss Luo has offended, but she¡¯s being toyed by someone who¡¯s destroying her reputation, and it even involved me. If I don¡¯t give the eldest Miss Luo an exnation, isn¡¯t she going to be done for?"


    "I have always admired the eldest Miss Luo¡¯s behavior and appearance, and now, this matter hase up, therefore......I earnestly request that Imperial Father give your consent."


    The emperor frowned deeply and didn¡¯t talk for a long while.


    In regards to these two youngdies from the general¡¯s mansion, the reality is that he hasn¡¯t seen them before. It¡¯s out of the question for him to say who he preferred. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the empress chose the second Miss Luo as the future fifth prince consort, he simply wouldn¡¯t care about two minor women in their chambers.


    After a moment of thought, the emperor of Western Chu turned his head and looked at the expressionless Nn Ye and asked him, "I wonder what you think?"


    After standing and cupping his hands in obeisance, Nn Ye replied. I have no opinion at all in regards to Fifth Prince¡¯s marriage. It¡¯s just that our Western Chu view filial piety as first in importance, and the empress has already passed away. It¡¯s still better to follow the empress¡¯mand."


    When the emperor heard, he nodded. "Yes, what you said makes sense."


    Nangong Chen¡¯s eyes darkened and he almost fainted. Who would have thought that he would hear Nn Ye continue to speak.


    "It¡¯s just that there is also some justification to what Fifth Prince was saying. The eldest Miss Luo is the general¡¯s daughter after all. If her reputation was destroyed by nders and rumors, that¡¯s also a bit pitiful. Therefore, it¡¯s best that we think of a more thorough solution."


    Kneeling on the floor, Nangong Chen perspired cold sweat again and again as he listened. He knew well Nn Ye¡¯s influential a ce in his father¡¯s heart. At this moment, the fate if his own marriage rested on that man¡¯s hands. This kind of powerless feeling of decay was truly making him unwell all over.


    Given a chance, he must take control of his own fate and absolutely not drop so low again!


    The emperor of Western Chu smiled. "My loyal Ye, you clearly have an idea, why withhold it? Let me hear it."


    "Since Fifth Prince suggestedst time that he wanted to break off the engagement with the second Miss Luo, Your Majesty can just consent to it. As for the older Miss Luo, although she¡¯s pitiable, she is not the main wife¡¯s daughter......" Nn Ye continued emotionlessly, "Just let her be Fifth Prince¡¯s lesser concubine and everything will be solved."

 Chapter 18

    Chapter 18: Sending Themselves Over for a p


    <h4></h4>


    When Luo Qing Shuang heard this news, her entire body felt like it¡¯s crumbling!


    A daughter of the grand General¡¯s Mansion was actually going to be a concubine? Even though that person was her beloved Fifth Prince, but without a position as an imperial consort, how could she show off in front of those aristocraticdies? She¡¯s afraid that in the future, she¡¯d be too embarrassed to even attend the Flower Bestowment Festival and the Poetry Assembly, these kinds of gatherings.


    "Why.....why......" Luo Qing Shuang clenched her teeth in anger.


    She merelycked the identity as a main daughter, yet she¡¯ll have to ept thepromise of bing a concubine? The position of a concubine is simply one without the slightest degree of status. Don¡¯t mention a noble consort, even a side consort can beat and scold her as they wished. It¡¯s considered not a big deal even if they beat her to death. These were all decided by status and position!


    "Mother, I don¡¯t want to be a concubine......" Luo Qing Shuang cried loudly as she threw herself at Wang Xue Ru¡¯s bosom.


    But Wang Xue Ru was also helpless. This was a verbalmand issued by the emperor. When the time came, her precious daughter would be sent to Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion.


    She thought about the daughter that she¡¯d painstakingly raised for sixteen years bing the lowest concubine for no rhyme or reason. Even betrothal gifts were not needed, so forget about mentioning avish wedding ceremony. She could only furtively dress Qing Shuang up beautifully, ce a veil over her head, and send her through the side door of Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. There was simply no difference between this and being a thief.


    Completely without any idea of what else to do, Wang Xue Ru could onlyfort her daughter. "Qing Shuang, be good, don¡¯t cry. Even though you¡¯re a concubine, at least you¡¯re marrying the fifth prince that you like. As long as you work hard in the future, why wouldn¡¯t you be able to have Fifth Prince promote you into a main consort?"


    Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s tearful and hazy eyes looked up. "Mother, is that really possible?"


    She absolutely didn¡¯t want to be a concubine!


    Her mother, also, just because she¡¯s a lesser concubine, even though her servants respectfully call her the side madam, the fact was that she did not have any significant position at all. Otherwise, how would she be in this kind of predicament?


    Just because she¡¯s not the main wife¡¯s daughter, she would have to lower her head to Luo Qing Luan for no reason at all?


    "There must be a way, there must be!" As if to console herself, Wang Xue Ru said, "right now, the only piece of good news is that Luo Qing Luan, that girl, is no longer the future fifth prince consort. As long as you win over Fifth Prince¡¯s heart, why would you be afraid that you won¡¯t be able to deal with that girl in the future?"


    "That¡¯s true. I won¡¯t give up!" The more Luo Qing Shuang thought about it, the angrier she became and she turned all of her grievance on not bing a consort into me towards Luo Qing Luan.


    Even if she was only a concubine, so what? She¡¯s still better off than Luo Qing Luan, whose engagement had been broken!


    "Qing Shuang, now that you¡¯re already Fifth Prince¡¯s woman, go, mother will help you vent your anger on that rotten girl." Wang Xue Ru smiled gloomily. She actually wanted to see if Luo Qing Luan would be so upset after finding out this news that she¡¯d hang herself. If so, then it¡¯d certainly be interesting to watch.


    Very quickly, Luo Qing Shuang changed into a newly made full length brocade dress with peony flowers. Dressed elegantly, she followed Wang Xue Ru and headed for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s shabby little courtyard.


    Sweeping her eyes over the disintegrating bluestone floor, there wasn¡¯t even one presentable decoration. There were even some sparse weeds in the corner. Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang were even more pleased and smiled. They took their previous bit of resentment and unwillingness and threw them beyond the clouds.


    The shabby window before them exposed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s figure. She seemed to be writing something. Seeing this situation, Wang Xue Ru yelled from far away. "Hey, Qing Luan, what are you doing?"


    Once she saw that it was those two people, Luo Qing Luan took a piece of paper and covered the writing that she just finished, then walked outside emotionlessly. "Father¡¯s concubine, older sister, why are the two of you here?"


    "Qing Luan, you probably don¡¯t know, right?" Wang Xue Ru shouted exaggeratedly, as if she felt very bad. "I just heard the news your father brought. I was just too shocked, so promptly came to tell you. Iris just that, when you hear it, you mustn¡¯t feel sad."


    Already knowing what her mother was going to say, Luo Qing Shuang also spoke in a contrived manner. "That¡¯s right, younger sister, this news came too suddenly, I also couldn¡¯t believe it."


    Keeping in mind the trace of malicious intentions she perceived in the depths of their eyes despite their feigned mannerisms, Luo Qing Luan pretended to not notice and deliberately said, "Oh, is it about the rumors going around outside?The thing about Elder Sister and a man? There were even erotic illustrations! Sigh......I already heard Dai Yue talk about it. Elder Sister, who in the world did such a thing and bared our General¡¯s Mansion?"


    "It truly is too repulsive!"


    "You......"


    Listening to these words nearly infuriated Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang enough to die from excessive anger.


    They originally wanted to humiliate Luo Qing Luan, but didn¡¯t expect to be humiliated by her instead.


    This matter had already spread like wildfire and the entire capital knew of it. During this period of time, Luo Qing Shuang was basically too ashamed to go out. That¡¯s why she was too upset and was anxious toe and distress Luo Qing Luan. She didn¡¯t expect......


    Complexion darkening, Wang Xue Ru coldly responded. "Nevermind those unfounded stories. Who said that the person is really our Qing Shuang? If anyone still dare to spread rumors recklessly in our General¡¯s Mansion, don¡¯t me me for punishing them severely!"


    Smiling indifferently, Luo Qing Luan answered. "Yes, I got it, Father¡¯s Concubine can rx, I absolutely won¡¯t speak of these things outside."


    No longer able to endure, Luo Qing Shuang dered loudly. "Luo Qing Luan, today, mother and I came to tell you something. Why did you gossip about me for? I¡¯m telling you, Fifth Prince already petitioned to the emperor to break off your engagement with him!"

 Chapter 19

    Chapter 19: Never Enough ps


    <h4></h4>


    In regards to this news, actually, not long after Luo Qing Shuang found out about it, Luo Qing Luan also already knew about it.


    At the time, her father was furious enough to beat his chest and stomp his feet. With an ashenedplexion, he even ruthlessly punished a servant whomitted a small mistake, giving that servant fiftyshes. Such a noisy matter, how could she not hear about it?


    Luo Qing Luan naturally didn¡¯t care about the news. She was even looking forward to be rid of her engagement with Nangong Chen!


    But she didn¡¯t expect that the Luo Qing Shuang mother and daughter actually treated this matter as a tool they could use. Calling on her to make her upset?


    She certainly was no longer the Luo Qing Luan who used to be an ugly, love-struck fool!


    Seeing that Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t talk for a period of time, Luo Qing Shuang even thought that she was shocked frozen and immediately added another poisonous dose of drugs. "Sigh, Younger Sister, you are truly pitiful. Having been divorced by Fifth Prince, how could this not destroy a youngdy¡¯s reputation? In the future, if you want to marry again, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be difficult. What is to be done about this......"


    As she continued to speak, she looked deeply saddened, as if she truly worried for Luo Qing Luan.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression was still emotionless as she said, "Elder Sister, is what you¡¯re saying true?"


    "How can it be false!" Wang Xue Ru also could no longer hold back from pouring oil into the fire. "If you don¡¯t believe it, Qing Luan, go ask your father. How angry your father must be right now. Forget it. It¡¯s better that you don¡¯t ask him about it, avoid making your father angrier from the shame you¡¯ve brought to the General¡¯s Mansion."


    The more she spoke, the morecent she became, as if she can already see Luo Qing Luan¡¯s inconsble grief making her stunned and muddle-headed, wandering around aimlessly, and then again, dizzily fall into the pond. This time, she¡¯ll find someone to watch her carefully, make sure that she drowned to death!"


    "But......why did I hear that father isn¡¯t happy, because of Elder Sister¡¯s matter?"


    Luo Qing Luan had been standing at the door and now she walked down the steps one by one. Layer uponyer of ripples appeared on the fluttering white dress she wore, caressed by the wind, she appeared like an incorruptible ice goddess.


    Without cosmetics, yet with a fair and delicateplexion just like an unfolding plum blossom, enchanting and absolutely beautiful. Such an appearance and demeanor waspletely different than before. Watching her, Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru were somewhat absent-minded for a time.


    The corners of her mouth raised a little as Luo Qing Luan said emotionlessly, "I heard that Elder Sister had been promised to Fifth Prince by the emperor. I was originally even d for you, but onlyter did I know that you¡¯re actually going to be a concubine."


    Having arrived in front of Luo Qing Shuang, she sighed and seemed as if she was endlessly distressed for her sister. She opened her lips, "Based on Elder Sister¡¯s behavior and appearance, even with your status as the eldest daughter in the General¡¯s Mansion, you¡¯ve actually be someone¡¯s concubine, sigh......it truly is......but after all, it¡¯s His Majesty¡¯s decree. No matter how unwilling father is, he still has to follow thew. No wonder his frame of mind is terrible."


    Watching Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s pampered appearance instantly be gloomy and resentful, Luo Qing Luan continued gently. "Elder Sister, these few days that you haven¡¯t been married off, it¡¯s probably better that you don¡¯t hang around near Father, to avoid him bing upset again when he sees you."


    "Luo Qing Luan, you¡¯re too much!"


    This basically was the issue that Luo Qing Shuang was the most upset and most humiliated about. Now that she was talked to this by the younger sister that she loathed the most, she was so angry that she almost charged at her to tear her mouth to pieces. Shaking from head to toe, Luo Qing Shuang said through gritted teeth, "Even if I be a concubine, no matter what, I¡¯m still Fifth Prince¡¯s concubine. I¡¯ll always be better that someone like you, who has been so shamefully divorced!"


    "Oh? Didn¡¯t Elder Sistere to console me? Howe right now......you seem to be sneering at me!" As if she had not heard anything, Luo Qing Luan not only didn¡¯t get angry, she smiled instead. "That¡¯s right, I also wanted to tell Elder Sister something. In the future, when you enter Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, he will certainly be marrying some other women as his wives. If you don¡¯t like those women, you mustn¡¯t let those people sense it, otherwise......based on this brain of yours, you will be dealt with by those women. When that timees, Father¡¯s Concubine will definitely be distressed."


    "You......you......" Pointing at Luo Qing Luan, Luo Qing Shuang was so angry that she was unable to speak.


    "I¡¯m merely saying this for Elder Sister¡¯s own good." Luo Qing Luan¡¯s subtle words did not contain the least bit of anger.


    Humph, she¡¯s indeed doing this on purpose, deliberately saying these things to infuriate Luo Qing Shuang.


    When it came to talking glibly, sarcasm, and mocking people, she can carry on for a whole day and night neither repeating herself, nor using any obscenity. Did Luo Qing Shuang really think that she¡¯s still that stupid girl from before? Heh heh......it¡¯s already fortunate for them that she didn¡¯t take the initiative to go look for trouble. This mother and daughter pair even sent themselves to her door to look for a scolding? She¡¯s never seen such stupidity before!


    She¡¯s already letting them off easy. If they truly made her unhappy, there will be even more funing up. For example, the previous book and illustrations already caused Luo Qing Shuang to suffer big time. Not only that, she still didn¡¯t know who did this to her!


    Watching her own daughter unable to win the battle of words with Luo Qing Luan, and almost put to tears by the scolding, Wang Xue Ru pulled her daughter towards her and supported her back. She spoke in a strange tone of voice. "Qing Luan, you¡¯re the younger sister, there¡¯s no need for you to lecture your elder sister. Father¡¯s Concubine actually have some words to tell you. A young girl who¡¯s been divorced will have a hard time getting married. If you still persist with such a glib tongue, then you¡¯ll indeed be an old maid. Now that would be true humiliation."


    "Qing Shuang,e back with Mother."


    After she finished speaking, Wang Xue Ru no longer looked at Luo Qing Luan to avoid being attacked by her sarcasm again. She pulled her daughter and left quickly.


    Dai Yue had been watching by the side. Only at this time, did she dare toe forward. She curled her lips and spoke in a quiet voice. "My Lady, the side madam and them are too vile. They actually came to us again to bring trouble."


    Feeling happy, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t care at all and waved her hand. "Bring what trouble? Didn¡¯t you see how in the end, it¡¯s them who¡¯s been infuriated? If theye again next time, I¡¯ll scold them until they can no longer lift up their heads."


    Want topete with her? Even if this pair of mother and daughter cloned themselves, they still wouldn¡¯t be her match.

 Chapter 20

    Chapter 20: Principles of Making Money


    <h4></h4>


    "But....."


    Dai Yue puckered her little face in a very aggrieved way. "You like Fifth Prince so much. Now that you¡¯ve been divorced, I know you find it difficult to bear. It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t want the side madam to be able to tell, that¡¯s all."


    Increasingly sensing that this girl was truly worried for her, Luo Qing Luan tenderly patted her shoulder, then grinned. "Dai Yue, look at me, do I look like someone who¡¯s heartbroken and depressed?"


    "But My Lady......"


    "Stop with the buts!"


    Luo Qing Luan pulled Dai Yue towards their room. "Let me tell you. Your mistress, I, will absolutely not like Nangong Chen, that useless man, in the future. In order to celebrate my separation with that waste of a man and my return to unmarried freedom, let¡¯s go, Dai Yue, we¡¯ll go out to y.


    After properly putting away the newly written book, Luo Qing Luan brought Dai Yue, changed to men¡¯s clothes as before, and left the mansion.


    Leaving the cage-like General¡¯s Mansion, they watched the crowd on main street bustling with activity. Luo Qing Luan was like a small bird taking flight, her mood lifting high up.


    Dai Yue was dressed like a book boy*. Shebed a knot on top of her head wrapped with a strip of cloth, dressed in coarse dark clothes, beaming with joy like before.


    (*TN: In ancient times, wealthy schrs would employ a boy to carry books for them.)


    "My Lady, are we also going to eat sweet rice balls and steamed pot-stickers, and steamed dumplings again today?" When she recalled those delicious foods they atest time, she couldn¡¯t help but salivate.


    "You want to eat those things again?" Luo Qing Luan took a nce at the drooling Dai Yue and she couldn¡¯t help but knock on her head. "Be a bit mature, will you? Follow me, has your taste level really not improved at all?"


    Dai Yue rubbed her head miserably. "Then My Lad...uh, Young Master, what is a taste, taste level?" These words sounded very strange, so she couldn¡¯t figure it out at all.


    How to exin this?


    Luo Qing Luan scanned the areas around her and pointed to a very distant ce, at an exquisite, magnificient, five storied rosewood structure with eaves which seemed to be flying. "You see that? Wait until I make some money, then we¡¯ll go to there to eat and drink our fill, what do you think?


    All of the shops in the surrounding area were only one story high. It¡¯s already not bad if they were two stories high. Once Dai Yue looked there, her eyes lighted up and she nodded repeatedly. "En, very very good. The food there must be very tasty! Young Master, let¡¯s hurry and make some money."


    ......


    Hundred Taste Study¡¯s Boss Li was already waiting for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s arrival early on.


    Once he saw her appear, he immediately put aside the business at hand and weed her smiling from ear to ear. "Young Master, you¡¯re here. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for several days."


    How would she not know that Boss Li was waiting for her new book? Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t expose him, each minding their own business, as she brought Dai Yue, and entered the store. Boss Li promptly had his assistant offer them some tea and even brought a few tes of tasty pastries. Only after Luo Qing Luan leisurely sipped tea and moistened her lips did he speak with a hopeful expression. "Young Master, do you have a new piece of work?"


    It¡¯s not that he wanted to rush things, the truth was that......the sales volume of thest new novel exploded. A lot of people came into his store to ask about buying a new book and also a lot of people who still asked for the previous title, such that he had already produced three editions. As before, supply did not meet demand.


    If he seized this opportunity to push a new title, he would most likely make even bigger profits again!


    Nowadays, in Boss Li¡¯s eyes, this Young Master Luo, whose identity he did not know, was like the great god of wealth!


    "New book? I¡¯ve already brought it." Luo Qing Luan spoke levelly.


    "For reals?!" Boss Li was pleased beyond expectations and extended his hand to ask for the copy.


    Holding the book in her hand, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t hand it over. Boss Li watched with a palpitating heart, and promptly said, "Aiya, my Young Master Luo, don¡¯t make me nervous. A lot of customers are waiting for a new book. Each day that we dy is one less day that we can make money. You also don¡¯t want that, right?"


    Money. Of course Luo Qing Luan likes money, in addition, the more the better.


    However, she cared about one thing even more.


    At the present, her foundation was unstable, so without any protective barrier, if the information was leaked that she was the one who produced these books, she¡¯s afraid her father, Luo Cheng, and Luo Qing Shuang andpany, including Nangong Chen, will immediately know that the previous book and also the erotic illustrations were produced by her.


    When that time came, it¡¯s going to be serious. She¡¯s afraid that the matter will even reach the pce and stir up a gargantuan disaster.


    Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan felt that it¡¯s necessary to remind Boss Li once again. It¡¯s good to make money, but protecting her confidentiality is even more important.


    "Boss Li, I¡¯m going to be direct with some ugly words. We¡¯ve agreed previously that you¡¯ll help me maintain confidentiality, I trust that you are able to aplish it. Even though I know that you also have a backer, but some people will covet the money that we¡¯re earning. Once other people became aware, not to mention if they¡¯lle looking for trouble, at the very least, I will no longer do business with you."


    "Without your Hundred Taste Study, I will still have other choices, but Boss Li, you......if you want to find someone else like me, someone able to produce these new and unusual content for you, it won¡¯t be that easy. Tell me, do you agree?"


    Half reminding him, half threatening him, hearing these words, Boss Li¡¯splexion changed.


    Since he was threatened by someone much younger than him, he felt ufortable too, but he had no choice but to admit that this Young Master Luo is telling it as it is. A businessman like him only needed to worry about making money. Besides gifting his backers a bit of money each year, the remainder all belonged to him. He only needed to keep his mouth closed, that¡¯s all. Why bother offending the ¡¯god of wealth¡¯?


    "Yes, Young Master Luo can be at ease. I understand clearly." Boss Li repeatedly nodded his head.

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21A: First Time Visiting the Courtesan House


    <h4></h4>


    With Boss Li¡¯s guarantee, Luo Qing Luan finally took out the new novel she wrote.


    For the sake of her money making ns, she also spent several days carefully researching the preferences of people in this area, including the novels distributed at the markets and all kinds of other kinds of light reading, etc. Atst, she discovered a very interesting phenomenon.


    Just likest time when Luo Qing Luan ran into that romance novel peddler, she had looked through the contents of that book. It was mediocre and nothing great, with no new ideas at all. After that, she again browsed some tens of other books and discovered that the substance was basically almost the same.


    If the female character wasn¡¯t a high born youngdy, then it¡¯s a newly widowed woman, or else a female singer, or a pure courtesan, etc. As for the male main character, it¡¯s even more strange, the stereotyped and repetitive schr. It seemed as if besides schrs, they couldn¡¯t think of any other fitting type of person to be the main character.


    And the storyline was just alike, only the names were changed. From the back garden changed to the river bank. Then from the woodshed changed to the side room, yet those readers still read them with great interest and even spent a high price of two silver taels to purchase a book.


    As one could well imagine, if she took those hundreds of novels that she was familiar with, modified each character and wrote them into books, it¡¯s a guarantee that her books will cause a sensation in the erotic romance novels ck market at the capital.


    Just look at the book she wrote about Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chen and it¡¯s clear!


    "Boss Li, this is the new storyline that I had just gotten a hold of from Vietnam. I guarantee that there¡¯s not a second one in Western Chu." Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly and give it to him.


    Eating some snacks by their side, Dai Yue couldn¡¯t understand what she was seeing. When did her mistress have a rtionship with Vietnam, that little book was clearly written by her, why did she say that?


    But of course she wouldn¡¯t say anything. Anything that her mistress did must be right. She only needed to worry about helping her mistress save money and that¡¯s good enough.


    Impatiently taking the little book, Boss Li quickly thumbed through it. Reading only the first page and his eyes already lighted up, praising, "Wonderful! Clever! You¡¯re surprisingly able to think of a romance involving a Buddhist nun. This truly is too fresh......"


    "Sigh, I already said that I obtained this from Vietnam, not something I thought up." Luo Qing Luan deadpanned as she corrected him.


    "Oh, yes, yes......I understand." Boss Liughed mischievously, well aware that this thin skinned (sensitive) Young Master Luo was opinionated. He didn¡¯t unmask him and just smiled as he answered.


    Luo Qing Luan told him, "This time, it¡¯s a set of books with two parts. Boss Li should print and sell the first book first, whet those people¡¯s appetite, then suspend them over a cliffhanger. Eager to find out what happens next, they¡¯ll be even more likely to look for you to ce an order for the sequel. However, the price......"


    Books could also be divided into two parts and not sell them at the same time?


    Boss Li was surprised by this new marketing method, but once he thought about it, indeed, it made sense. Even though the parts of this book must not be sold at the same time, but those high officials and noble borns, wealthy masters, and young masters, who wasn¡¯t idle and bored, who didn¡¯t like reading these books?


    Currently, giarized copies had already been written and distributed outside based on the book that was writtenst time. The others only changed or added some of the details. Moreover, their price was much cheaper. To a certain extent, they stole some of his business. If he was able to publish new books as two parts, then those customers who purchased the first book from his store could only continue to buy the second part at this store.


    How was that not a better way to retain customers?


    "Young Master Luo, brilliant!"


    Boss Li genuinely felt admiration this time and did not hesitate in the slightest when Luo Qing Luan proposed the price of one thousand five hundred taels for the contents of this new book. After that, based on sales volume, they¡¯ll naturally distribute the share of profits based on 40%/60% again. Luo Qing Luan also wasn¡¯t excessively greedy.


    After receiving the bank notes, she had Boss Li help her get one hundred taels in change, then she brought Dai Yue and left.


    Once they left the bookstore, Dai Yue practically looked at her mistress with eyes filled with adoration. Her mistress merely wrote a few words and negotiated a little that¡¯s all, yet was able to make so much money. Indeed, her mistress was both smart and beautiful.


    "Young Master, are we going somewhere to eat now?" She asked impatiently.


    "You. Just like a chowhound." Luo Qing Luan smiled as she shook her head. Her eyes shed, then she continuedcently. "Let¡¯s go. Today, I¡¯ll bring you to eat exotic delicacies."


    Standing in front of the magnificent tower, Luo Qing Luan read the sign above them out loud. "Heavenly Dream Tower?"


    Eh? Why doesn¡¯t this name sound like a restaurant, and instead sounded like a courtesan house?


    Taking a look towards the inside, even though the big vermillion red front door was open, simply no tables were seen inside. Instead, countless numbers of translucent muslin curtains floated about, brimming with a vaguely extravagant taste. That fellow squatting at the front door was obviously out of energy, closing his eyes and dozing off. He basically did not have the appearance of someone who greets guests.


    Seemed like it¡¯s truly a courtesan house?


    At this time, thedies are resting. The evenings are when this ce bustled with noise and activity. But Luo Qing Luan not only didn¡¯t leave, she was even more interested instead.


    She had already arrived at this era for period of time, yet she had not even seen their courtesan house before, not to mention making a visit. Since she¡¯d arrived and had also brought money, then today, she will experience it for herself.


    "Let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going in." Luo Qing Luan walked in the front and charged right through the main door.

 Chapter 21 (2)

    Chapter 21B: First Time Visiting the Pleasure Quarters


    <h4></h4>


    The sound of her footsteps woke that fellow that was dozing off. He immediately stood up, speaking with hazy, sleepy eyes. "Sir, our Heavenly Dream Tower is still not open for business, yet. Will you pleasee backter?"


    Luo Qing Luan took out a shiny white silver ingot and winked at him. "Really not doing business?"


    That fellow saw this and his sleepiness disappearedpletely as well as almost bing cross-eyed. He promptly grabbed the silver while bowing and scraping. "Doing business, yes, doing business. This way please, Sir!" After he spoke, he led them forward, bringing Luo Qing Luan and Dai Ye inside.


    It''s really worthy of being the area''s tallest and most luxurious structure. Even though it''s only a courtesan house, luxury was clearly visible everywhere. Decorative openwork banisters, expensive orchids arranged all around. Light muslin cloths hanging from the roof even more intensely attract and draw out people''s amorous feelings.


    It''s just that Luo Qing Luan wanted to see beautiful women, yet there''s none to be seen.


    "Where''s everyone?" She asked that fellow.


    "Sir, during the daytime, the youngdies are all resting. I''ll help you call Mama Du first." The fellow departed with quick steps.


    Not longter, a plump, buxom, charming and flirtatious woman with a plump behind descended the stairs.


    It was clear that she came after hearing that a wealthy young master came. She waved a silk handkerchief and shouted out loud exaggeratedly from far away. "Aiya, this young sir, is this the first time that you''ve visited our Heavenly Dream Tower?"


    Watching her approach, Dai Yue was scared stiff. "Young, Young Master, this doesn''t seem like a ce which serves food?"


    Luo Qing Luan shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "It''s fine. Delicious foods will arrive very quickly."


    Mama Du swung her hips side to side as she she walked towards them still waving her silk handkerchief, as she directly sized Luo Qing Luan up and down, then chuckled. "Hes hee, what kind of youngdy does this sir like? The youngdies in Heavenly Dream Tower are the best. Plump and curvy, or slender and willowy, quiet and elegant, or pretty and flirtatious, virtuous or foxy, those who can sing, or can dance, I guarantee that you''ll be satisfied."


    Luo Qing Luan also didn''t say anything at first. She walked to a seat by the side and sat down. With a bang, she pped a silver ingot worth five taels on the table and dered with a heroic spirit. "Have all of the youngdies you have in this establishmente out here. As long as I''m satisfied, money is not a problem."


    "Aiyo, good. Sir, please wait, they''reing right away."


    Mama Du''s eyes shined in surprise. This felt like a wealthy young master hade? Seemed like it''s his first timeing to Heavenly Dream Tower for some experience, and basically did not attach any importance to money so long as he was satisfied.


    As far as a guest like that, she indeed weed them the most, so she quickly ordered the assistant standing by the side to go call the youngdies.


    Once this was done, Mama Du again had someone quickly serve food, all kinds of good wine, as wells as fruits and pastries, arranged densely packed on the table. Dai Yue didn''t care about anything. As long as there''s food, she''s happy. Luo Qing Luan told her to eat her fill, so Dai Yue beamed with joy as she ate with gusto.


    "Tasty, delicious!" She picked up a piece of fermented soybean beef and ate it, so satisfied that her eyes narrowed.


    "Enjoy your meal, there''s much more." Luo Qing Luan watched the funny scene.


    Mama Du called out to her politely, all of her attention was concentrated on Luo Qing Luan. "Young Sir, one look and I can tell that you came from an influential, wealthy family, a talent, outstandingly handsome. I wonder what is your name? Our Heavenly Dream Tower is the capital''s biggest and best courtesan house. Our leadingdy is actuallyst year''s Queen of Flowers! When thediese in a bit, I''ll certainly introduce them to you properly¡­¡­"


    She had not finished speaking when a burst of chittering chattering sounds already could be heard from upstairs. Luo Qing Luan saw a group of young women attired in every color, dressed up gorgeously and elegantly giggling andughing as they descended the stairs. A flurry of fragrances hit her right in the face and the entire big room suddenly became unusually lively, brimming withughter.


    "Young Sir, this is the first time that I''ve met you. What is your name?"


    "Turns out it''s a young man,e, allow this older sister to kiss you."


    "Young Master, greetings to you, this humble one is called Rich Fragrant. May I give you a toast¡­¡­"


    Over ten famousdies rushed over and surrounded Luo Qing Luanpletely. They also knew that a wealthy and respectable young master came today, one who was extravagant with money. They originally nned to take a break, but at this time, each and every one of them groomed and dressed themselves to rush over and curry favor with Luo Qing Luan. There were also some brazen ones, who even directly flirted with her.


    Luo Qing Luan didn''t know at all that on the fourth floor, inside a quiet and refined room, two young men were watching the situation downstairs. Even though it''s somewhat rare for them to see an unfamiliar young man ask for the majority of youngdies within Heavenly Dream Tower the moment he arrived, they still felt that it wasn''t excessive.


    "Ziqing, look down there." Nangong Yu put down the wine cup in his hand and smiled. "I wonder which family that young fellow came from. Surprisingly, so young, yet already visiting the pleasure quarters. If the head of his house saw this, I''m afraid he would be furious."


    Nn Ye looked emotionless. It was impossible to tell what his state of mind was. "Isn''t this the type you wee the most? Sending you money and you''re still not happy about it?"


    Suddenly bing spirited, Nangong Yu pondered. "How about¡­¡­we take a guess. Guess how much money thesedies of mine can extract from his person today?"


    Casting a nce at him, Nn Ye didn''t say anything, evidently not interested.


    "Sigh, why are you like this? Can''t we y a little?" Nangong Yu blurted out discontentedly, following which he looked again at the imprable encirclement downstairs before soliloquizing. "Heh heh, this little guy must have brought no small amount of money. If we don''t suck himpletely dry and clean today, wouldn''t it downgrade our Heavenly Dream Tower''s standing as a money squandering establishment?


    He called a servant and instructed. "Go down and tell Mama Du to be more ruthless."


    "Yes, Master."

 Chapter 22

    Chapter 22A: Turn Around and y the courtesan House


    <h4></h4>


    Daytime at Heavenly Dream Tower had basically always been cheerless and quiet, but today, because Luo Qing Luan came, it was brimming with chattering and gigglingughter.


    Mama Du watched Luo Qing act as if she was taking things very seriously as she lined up all of the youngdies. Each and every one of them was pleasing to the eyes, maybe because they all received a tip for answering a question. As she watched, she became increasingly more fervent and her greeting became even more polite.


    "Oh, Master said that?" Once she heard the servant whisper in her ears, she was even more aware of the situation.


    Nodding her head as her eyes focused on the happilyughing Luo Qing Ye, she replied softly. "I got it. You can go."


    This youngster was clearly a newly hatched bird. Even if the master didn¡¯t say anything, she still wouldn¡¯t have let this rich guy off.


    Luo Qing Luan embraced an alluring, enthusiastic gorgeous youngdy as her hand moved in an experienced manner from her pretty waist travelling up to her soft peaks. She even said in a teasing manner, "Elder Sister, your figure is truly wonderful, so flexible and so soft. Come, let me have a taste."


    "Aiya, young sir, you¡¯re so bad~~" This youngdy giggled, wanting to resist, yet in the end, didn¡¯t avoid Luo Qing Luo¡¯s ¡¯predatory kiss¡¯, so she was kissed fiercely on the cheek.


    "Smells so good!" Luo Qing Luan clicked her tongue as if infatuated, then immediately felt for a silver ingot to stuff into thedy¡¯s bosom. "Come, your reward."


    "Thank you, sir!"


    All of the women were immediately both surprised and delighted. Envious, each of them called out tenderly, "Young sir, you should have me, I know even more, I I guarantee you¡¯ll be satisfied."


    "Sir, I¡¯m also soft and smell good. If you don¡¯t believe it,e and feel me!"


    With regards to these women from the courtesan house, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s money was truly falling into theirps too easily. They had never encountered this kind of straightforward noble guest before.


    Not only was he young and handsome, he was also extravagant. If Luo Qing Luan did not instruct them beforehand to have them line up in a straight line, they would have flocked to her by now.


    At her table, Luo Qing Luan was having an awful lot of fun. At another table, Dai Yue was eating but she was struck dumb watching.


    Her mistress was clearly a girl, why was she pawing these women? When did the mistress like ying these sort of games? What in the world was the mistress thinking?


    If she were to kiss other people like her mistress, she¡¯s afraid she would be too embarrassed to even attempt it.


    "Alright now, next one." As Luo Qing Luan¡¯s beautiful eyes scanned the line thinking about who to call next, Mama Du seized the opportunity to speak.


    She came over and said fervently, "Young sir, I¡¯m just saying, but this is not how you y when visiting courtesan houses. Have your friends ever taught you before?"


    Actually, when all was said and done, she wasn¡¯t particrly concerned about how her customers enjoyed themselves. However, her boss had issued themand and she also wanted to ruthlessly profit off of the silvers in this young man¡¯s pocket. Therefore, her mind took a turn. She wanted to first sound out his bottom line before continuing.


    "Mama Du, tell me, how should we y?" Luo Qing Luan looked to be very inquisitive.


    To say that she didn¡¯t understand what it meant to visit a brothel is simply a joke. However, she¡¯s not a male, so she¡¯s totally not interested in those things. Today, she purely came to gain an experience, to see what a brothel from ancient times was really like. As for the money for rewarding those youngdies......


    In any case, she now possessed no small amount of money, so might as well just let everyone be happy.


    After asking a few probing questions, Mama Du was finally convinced. This delicate young man before her eyes was likely truly one of those sons from a rich and powerful family. Normally, they received strict discipline. Even when they leave the house, arge group of servants would follow. How could theye visit the pleasure quarters.


    This time, he probably brought along his book boy and secretly sneaked away.


    Mama Du made some calctions in her mind and became increasingly determined. Rolling her eyeballs, she opened her mouth and made something up. "Different people have different ways of ying. For instance, someone with as noble an aura as you certainly must stand out from the masses."


    "How does one stand out from the masses?"


    Merely one sentence and Luo Qing Luan was able to sense that something¡¯s fishy.


    In her previous life, she had met all sorts of people, and seen every kind of schemes and tricks, as well as suggestions through nces. She was very sensitive in detecting these things. This Mama Du was very likely nning something against her, right?


    Not sensing at all that Luo Qing Luan was already onto her, Mama Du covered her mouth and smiled, turning to a girl and waving her over. "Bixi,e here."


    Looking at Luo Qing Luan, Mama Du smiled. "Young Sir, this is our Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s Miss Bixi. She is the best singer. In addition, she also likes to y games."


    Casting a meaningful nce, she continued "Just let Bixi y a game with you, is that alright? If she loses, then she¡¯ll sing a song for you. I guarantee that she¡¯ll sound wonderful. If you lose, then you can just reward her with as much money as you like."


    "That¡¯s right, Young Sir, I like to y games the most, let¡¯s y ~~" She wore a full length purple cotton dress and a lightyer of makeup, Bixi smilingly sat down, while her delicate hands was already brushing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face.


    "Alright, Bixi, tell us how we should y." As Luo Qing Luan spoke, she seized the opportunity to use her hand to caress and stroke Bixi¡¯s hand. She put on a lustful appearance.


    Bixi received the three dice that a servant brought over along with a goblet. She put them on the table and smiled sweetly. "Bixi would like to y Big and Small (Sic Bo) with you. It¡¯s very simple. Do you know how to y?"


    Turned out it¡¯s this kind of game?


    Luo Qing Luan really didn¡¯t care and casually replied. "Sure, beauty, you first."


    Wasting no more words, Bixi picked up the goblet and shook it thoroughly. After that, she put it down and smilingly opened the goblet. Immediately, her eyes shined. "Aiya, I¡¯ve got sixteen points, your turn."


    In the past, Luo Qing Luan had yed these kinds of dice throwing games before, also mahjong, pocker, and so on. She knew how to y them all. She just didn¡¯t like them much and only yed once in a while as a means to deepen rtionships.


    She didn¡¯t think much and just casually shook the goblet before opening it. The result was eleven points.


    She lost the first game and didn¡¯t care much about it. She casually took out two taels of silver and gave it to Bixi. Thetter was delighted and promptly said, "Thank you, Young Sir, should we continue?"


    But following that, Luo Qing Luan was no longer in such a good mood, because she consecutively lost five games.

 Chapter 22 (2)

    Chapter 22B: Turn Around and y the Courtesan House


    <h4></h4>


    "Oh ho ho, I have fifteen points again, oh my!" Bixi smiled like a spray of trembling flowers, confident of winning for sure. Mama Du and the group of youngdies encircling by the side watched and constantly gave her encouragement, sometimes evenforting Luo Qing Luan.


    Luo Qing Luan smiled emotionlessly. So this was what they meant by ''a game''. They actually wanted to swindle her of all her money? Otherwise, how could that Miss Bixi produce a number higher than fifteen every single time? If she wasn''t cheating, how could she have such good luck?


    She originally only wanted to have some fun and be happy, but didn''t expect that the other person actually was tricking her. They''re truly taking her for a fool?


    Luo Qing Luan casually grabbed a dice, then said in a clueless manner. "Let''s not y this Big and Small game anymore. How about changing to a different game? Something more simple like guess which of my hand the dice is in. If you guess correctly, I''ll reward ten taels of silver, incorrect, and Miss Bixi only needs to give me five taels, how''s that?"


    Hearing this, Bixi was somewhat unwilling as she looked several times at Mama Du. Thetter nodded her head, so she immediately said, "Alright, then the Young Sir can go ahead, I''ll take a guess."


    Luo Qing Luan allowed her to clearly see the dice in the palm of her right hand, then hid them


    behind her. After a moment, she extended two closed fists and smiled faintly. "Miss Bixi, make a guess, which hand is it in?"


    "Left hand!" She answered right away, because the people standing behind Luo Qing Luan had just stealthily given her a hint.


    Luo Qing Luan opened her left hand, then smiled. "You lost." Sure enough, the left hand was empty. No dice.


    Losing the first game was really no big deal. Bixi was slightly dazed, but didn''t take it to heart. But after she sessively lost seven games, and an entire thirty five taels of silver, she finally panicked. "Mama Du, I¡­¡­"


    Complexion darkening, Mama Du red at her. "Step aside, useless thing." Following which she again smiled toward Luo Qing Luan. "Young SIr, Bixi is too dumb, let''s change to having Tao Ying guess, is that alright?"


    Luo Qing Luan didn''t have any objection, so very quickly, a delicate girl dressed apricot color came, makeup simple, yet elegant, wearing a smile.


    However, after Luo Qing Luan won six games in a row, this Miss Tao Ying also started to drip cold sweat.


    A young woman then straightforwardly came forward. "Young Sir, how about we y mahjong?"


    Not saying anything, Mama Du immediately had someone fetch a set of mahjong tiles. Moreover, she even raised the stakes. If Luo Qing Luan lost, she would pay one hundred taels. If the otherdy loses, she would pay three hundred taels. The stakes would double with each sessive game.


    Since she knew the others were deliberately trying to get her money, Luo Qing Luan also didn''t hold back when she struck. After ying two hours of mahjong, she killed all four sides, skillfully counting the tiles, such that the other three yers'' faces were as ck as a pot. Each person lost no less than five hundred taels.


    Following this, even Mama Du knew that they had encountered an expert and begged for forgiveness repeatedly. "This Young Sir, please be merciful, the youngdies¡­¡­truly can''t afford to lose¡­¡­"


    "En, we merely yed for awhile, why aren''t you continuing? I''m still waiting for the beauties to sing and dance for me, you know?" Luo Qing Luan was smiling in the same manner as before, not revealing the slightest trace of anything.


    "Let''s not y anymore, let''s not y¡­¡­" Mama Du didn''t dare to continue anymore. If they continued, she was afraid they would lose even the clothes on their bodies.


    Luo Qing Luan also didn''t insist and spread out her hands. "Fine, then. Give me my money, a total of two thousand one hundred eighty taels. Forget the change. Mama Du can just give me two thousand taels and it''ll be fine."


    "Two thousand? Oh my god¡­¡­" Mama Du nearly fainted.


    Upstairs watching the show this entire time, Nangong Yu also finally couldn''t take it anymore. He originally thought that this youngster was easy pickings. Didn''t expect that he was actually a practiced hand. Not only had the youngdies been fondled with, even the gambling was formidable. Those practiced tricks werepletely useless against him.


    "I actually couldn''t tell¡­this youngster is a bit formidable. Ziqing, what do you think?" He mumbled with a mind to personally meet such an interesting person. Howe he had not heard of him before? When all was said and done, what family in the capital did hee from?


    As before, Nn Ye spoke indifferently. "If you''re interested, then why don''t you just meet him."


    Following that, another servant arrived in front of Luo Qing Luan and said respectfully, "Young Sir, your owner would like to invite you upstairs. Please head in that direction."


    Waiting for her money before leaving, Luo Qing Luan smiled again. Was it possible that she won so much money that the owner didn''t want to pay, and even wanted to give her trouble? However, the other party''s attitude seemed to be pretty good!


    After thinking it over, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue wait downstairs while she went upstairs to take a look.


    To be capable of establishing such a big Heavenly Dream Tower in the capital, perhaps this so-called owner was a genuinely big character. For example, someone like that backer for Boss Li at the Hundred Taste Study, someone probably as influential as Nangong Chen.


    "Master, the young sir is here." The servant performed a formal greeting before withdrawing.


    "Please sit." As Nangong Yu spoke, he sized her up. Only at close distance did he discover that this person was surprisingly so delicate, simply as beautiful as a girl.


    Luo Qing Luan also took a good look at the person in this room. She didn''t expect that there were actually two people. Moreover, they''re both men!


    Taking a casual nce, Nn Ye was originally not paying attention, but this one nce caused him to stare startled. This delicate young man before him dressed as a young schr was clearly a girl.


    Moreover¡­¡­she seemed to be familiar?

 Chapter 23 part1

    Chapter 23a: There Are Many Problems With This Courtesan House of Yours


    <h4></h4>


    Previously at the General¡¯s Mansion, even though Luo Qing Luan had heard Nn Ye speak before, it was merely a few lines and it had been a long time since then. She didn¡¯t keep him in mind.


    Now that Nn Ye was right in front of her, she didn¡¯t know that this person was the famously grim, yet brilliant titled prince, Nn Ye.


    "Is your distinguished self the owner of this Heavenly Dream Tower? Are you the person who wanted to see me?" Luo Qing Luan was not timid in the least as she walked over, her line of sight shifting from Nn Ye to Nangong Chen.


    "I saw everything that happened downstairs with you a moment ago."


    Nangong Yu didn¡¯t look down on Luo Qing Luan because of her young age at all and cupped his hands towards her in a respectful greeting, then smiled faintly. "I am Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s owner. You can call me Mister Yu. I wonder what is your honorablest name, Just now downstairs, they didn¡¯t show you sufficient respect. I hope you don¡¯t take offense."


    Luo Qing Luan walked forward and sat down facing him with eyebrows raised. "So this means that you don¡¯t n on reneging your debt?"


    If that was the case, she could still look at this person with some respect. Someone who couldn¡¯t take defeat gracefully and want to renege on his debt was someone who she would disdain to continue to speak with.


    Smiling faintly, Nangong Yu already took out a banknote from his chest pocket and pushed it towards Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side. "Even though my Heavenly Dream Tower is not a mainstream business, such an insignificant amount of money won¡¯t be allowed to ruin our reputation. Moreover, you won it with your own abilities. I quite admire that and would like to be friends with you."


    Money is here, no need to pretend she didn¡¯t want it. Luo Qing Luan took the banknote after a quick look. Indeed, it¡¯s a banknote for two thousand taels of silver from Myriad Treasures Exchange, convertible into money at any of their branches throughout the country.


    Luo Qing Luan put away the banknote and finally said her name. "Myst name is Luo, but I¡¯m not any nobility. My family does some small business, that¡¯s all. Naturally, I can¡¯tpare to Mister Yu¡¯s famous Heavenly Dream Tower."


    Originally already suspicious, once Nn Ye heard this name, he took another quick nce at Luo Qing Ye and a crafty, pretty face immediately shed in his mind. He sneered. Wasn¡¯t this person precisely the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s second Miss Luo? She actually dressed as a man and ran here to visit a courtesan house?


    Luo Qing Luan did not miss this meaningful nce at all as she turned her head to look. She saw Nn Ye¡¯s strange gaze and also that cold and detached face, as if everybody owed him several millions in money.


    Mr. Yu, is this person a friend of yours?" She knit her brows and asked.


    "Heh heh, this is......you can call him Ziqing." Nangong Yu naturally wouldn¡¯t easily give away Nn Ye¡¯s identity. Without thinking it through, he spoke this name. In regards to this name of Nn Ye¡¯s, only people closest to him would know it. Even if he told other people, they wouldn¡¯t associate it with him.


    Luo Qing Luan really did not enjoy looking at such an ice-cold face.


    With regards to people she did not like, she was simply disinclined to take another look at them. Therefore, she only spoke to Nangong Yu. "Mr. Yu, is it possible that your entire family are in the courtesan house business?"


    Once Nangong Yu heard this, he nearly choked on his tea and spurt it out.


    His Imperial Highness, the grand second prince of Western Chu, had actually been made to into a man making a living off of a courtesan house? Would people die ofughter if this spread? He was just bored a few years ago and casually fiddled with something to make money for fun, that¡¯s all. Ordinarily when he had nothing to do, there would be one more ce for him to amuse himself with. Otherwise, what¡¯s he doing fooling around at a courtesan house?


    This kind of business, regardless of what country we¡¯re talking about, is still a money making business. When connections were needed, he had connections. When headway was needed, he could make headway. All of the youngdies working under him are as lovely as flowers, and can carry on a conversation skillfully. Otherwise, how could they be the number one courtesan house in the capital?


    Even if he opened a courtesan house, he still wanted it to be the best. Only that would be fitting for his, Nangong Yu¡¯s status.


    However, in the end, this information still could not be leaked. Otherwise, if news spread that a prince opened a courtesan house, it probably would not be too good.


    "How¡¯s that possible......"


    Nangong Yu promptly denied her suggestion, afraid if he spoke too slowly, the other person would make too many associations and indirectly damage his royal family¡¯s reputation. "I¡¯m the one who opened this Heavenly Dream Tower. It has nothing to do with anyone in my family. Virtuous Little Brother Luo, you came for a visit today. What do you think?"


    Originally, he only asked the question casually and did not expect Luo Qing Luan to give him a serious answer, but she really looked at him, with a bit of a joking manner in her gaze. "Mr. Yu really want to know my opinion?"


    "Uh, is it possible that there is some problem?" Nangong Yu was also curious this time.


    It had been an entire three years since his Heavenly Dream Tower opened for business. Guests had always floated in like the clouds. Moreover, every famous beauty was also bound to settle at Heavenly Dream Tower, busily entertaining guests everyday, profits as high as a thousand taels per day. Other courtesan houses, on the other hand, even if they were ranked second, like Rainbow Pavilion, were still on a whole different level. The rest of the courtesan houses were not even worth mentioning.


    "Not only is there a problem, there are no small number of problems." Luo Qing Luan answered grimly. Based on her way of looking at things, it was very easy to see Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s modus of operandi. The ws she had seen were merely ascertained from the gathering during the short previous period of time. If she had the opportunity to thoroughly understand the workings here, she¡¯d absolutely be able to see even more problems.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she found this man named Mr. Yu pleasing to the eye, moreover, he also was straightforward and did not renege on his debt, she would not have told him.


    "rmist talk to scare people." Suddenly, that ice-cold voice sounded beside them.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s gaze swept over, her heart already felt somewhat uneasy. Why was this person¡¯s personality so strange?


    Without the slightest bit of manners, interrupting people as he wishes, moreover, he had not even heard what she had to say and already contradicted her. No need to think, he must be arrogant and conceited and in addition, a man with an entric temperament.


    "Didn¡¯t ask you to listen. If your distinguished self doesn¡¯t like to hear, then will you cover your ears." She responded in the same cold manner, then looked at Nangong Yu and continued. "If Mr. Yu don¡¯t believe me, then I won¡¯t speak, never mind it. In any case, I¡¯m not the one losing money."

 Chapter 23 part2

    Chapter 23b: There Are Many Problems With This Courtesan House of Yours


    <h4></h4>


    Watching Nn Ye for a bit, Nangong Yu forced augh and shook his head. "Worthy Little Brother Luo, don¡¯t take offense. Ziqing¡¯s personality is just like this, he doesn¡¯t mean any harm. Although I don¡¯t believe that there¡¯s any problem with Heavenly Dream Tower at all, there¡¯s nothing wrong with hearing what you have to say. Maybe I can receive a bit of enlightenment from within?"


    One sentence and it¡¯s possible to more or less know the other person¡¯s nature. Luo Qing Luan smiled.


    Although this Mr. Yu is full of smiles, it¡¯s clear that he did not take her words seriously. Of course, if she was in his position it¡¯d be normal for her to react the same. No one would believe someone they had just met for no reason. If she did not present some definitive evidence, the other person would really take her for an ignorant and ipetent spoiled rich kid.


    Just consider it as taking into ount the two thousand taels he gave her!


    Luo Qing Luan stood up and walked next to a window then lightly struck the top of it. Only after she looked all around at the scene below did she reply. "Is Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯syout and decoration all personally nned and arranged by you?"


    The view below was inly visible. A spacious and grand area just like an arena built byter generations was surrounded on all sides by a decoratively carved railing. It was raised slightly at the height of about one foot. It looked like it was probably used by the youngdies in the evenings for some dancing or some singing.


    Spread in an area around the railings were tables. These were clearly for guests to sit and drink, as well as watch shows. The interior decoration was pretty good, theyout was also good. Even the tables and chairs were made of the finest pear wood. It was evident that the owner put his mind to it.


    "What? Worthy Little Brother Luo, how is it not quite right?" Nangong Yu chuckled while asking, but was clearly proud of himself.


    This Heavenly Dream Tower was indeed personally designed by him. Moreover, he invited the best artisans and contractors to build it precisely so that it could start off sessfully with a good reputation right away. If he didn¡¯t want to do something, then he wouldn¡¯t touch it, but if he did something, then it had to be the best job!


    Scanning the area, Luo Qing Luan unexpectedly sighed. "It¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s a pity, wasted so much money, yet surprisingly turned it into this. It¡¯s rather toomon, too ordinary, without any bit of a new idea."


    "Mr. Yu, I won¡¯t talk about anything else, solely this stage of yours already has too many problems. You really should improve it a little."


    Hearing her speaking in such an exaggerated manner, Nangong Yu was somewhat displeased. It cost him one month of painstaking effort to finallye up with this design. Moreover, after it was built, it was quite weed by the guests. He sometimes even praised himself frequently, believing that he had some amount of natural talent for business.


    He didn¡¯t expect that today, a youth younger than him actually said that it was worthless. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his temperament was good, he probably would not have been able to endure since earlier.


    "I really don¡¯t feel that there¡¯s a problem anywhere. If you believe that something is not right, will you point it out directly." Nangong Yu¡¯s tone of voice became slightly colder.


    "She¡¯s spouting nonsense, yet you take it seriously?" Nn Ye opened his mouth again while aiming a nce at him. A cold smile formed at the corners of his lips, with obvious disdain.


    "No harm done. If Brother Luo is pointing it out, I might as well listen." Disying a magnanimous appearance, Nangong Yu watched Luo Qing Luan.


    She was able to discern the other¡¯s thoughts, but Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t mind at all. "I would like to ask Mr. Yu. What makes ces like these courtesan houses special. What do the guests like most about them?"


    "Of course it¡¯s the beautifuldies!"


    Once Nangong Yu heard the question, he immediately replied. "My Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯sdies came from various regions of Western Chu, including South Vietnam, and also Dongwan. Ladies with slender waists and long legs, pure and beautiful, those able to sing, able to y instruments, proficient in all areas including verse, song, poetry. Otherwise, how can we be considered the first ranked?"


    He just finished speaking when Luo Qing Luan¡¯s gaze affirmed. "You¡¯re wrong!"


    "What, I¡¯m wrong? How am I wrong?" Nangong Yu absolutely didn¡¯t believe it.


    "What the guests like the most......"


    Luo Qing Luan looked directly at him and suddenly smiled, "is a new experience!"


    New experience? Once he heard these words, Nangong Yu knit his brows, but he mumbled these words and chewed on their meaning. Suddenly, his eyebrows jumped as he pped the table and said, "That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the new experience, new!"


    "Mr. Yu has thought it through now?"


    Luo Qing Luan seemed like an old hand. Her young and pretty appearance contrastedpletely with the calm in her eyes, and also the confident way she expressed herself, "What a man likes the most is a novel experience! Isn¡¯t there a saying that a wife is not as good as a mistress, a mistress is not as good as a courtesan, a courtesan is not as good as stealing somebody else¡¯s? Why? Isn¡¯t it because of the new experience!"


    "No matter how good the old is, after looking for a long time, it¡¯s also tiring. Admittedly, you¡¯re an outstanding beauty, but once a long time passes, you¡¯re still not as good looking as the widow next door. Why do those men leave and not love the tender wife at home and insist on visiting this courtesan house? Are thedies at the courtesan houses really that good, better than the gentle, affectionate, considerate woman serving them at home?"


    Once she finished speaking, the way Nangong Yu looked at Luo Qing Luan changedpletely, and was even somewhat impatient. He immediately walked to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side and excitedly eximed, "Good, good, your words suddenly cleared the murkiness in my mind. Although everybody knows these circumstances, you¡¯re truly the person who pointed it out so sinctly."


    With a huge pile of ideas still in her mind, Luo Qing Luan saw Nangong Yu approve what she said and felt that she might as well give him a few pointers. "Therefore, since Mr. Yu want to truly be the number one courtesan house and have those behind you never able to chase you, not only do you have to safeguard the quality of yourdies, you have to bring in the new and push out the old even more. Only in this way can you ensue Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s position."


    "Does Worthy Little Brother Luo have a n?" Nangong Yu heard and his heart itched, asking impatiently.

 Chapter 24 part1

    Chapter 24a: n to Improve the Courtesan House


    <h4></h4>


    As the conversation heated up, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t notice at all how the way Nn Ye looked at her started to be strange.


    Pointing at the stage downstairs, Luo Qing Luan said, "Mr. Yu, does your stage usually serve as the ce where yourdies perform their skills?"


    Only when Nangong Yu replied in the affirmative did she continue, "Since you want to be the number one courtesan house, then you can¡¯t neglect any aspect, no matter how minor. This stage is so open and wide, although the guests are able to view it satisfyingly, have you ever considered that haziness is also a kind of beauty? Even more captivating?"


    When he heard that, Nangong Yu¡¯s eyes shined and he asked, "Hurry and tell me, how should I improve it?"


    "Ordinarily, just follow the usual and allow thedies to go onstage to disy their talent and also allow Heavenly Dream Tower to bustle with noise and activity. However, every so often, for example, every ten days, or maybe on the first or fifteenth day of the month, you can have the newdies go up, but you have to surround the entire stage with a semitransparent fabric."


    "The crucial point is that you have to create a mysterious feeling! When ites to men, novelty and mystery are equally important. Which unknown flower, faintly discernible through the fog, wouldn¡¯t stimte and suspend a person¡¯s appetite? Add some incense, lighting and so on, and even if the youngdy onstage is a neer, her value will immediately rise no small amount."


    Unable to keep himself from pping the table, Nangong Yu stared in earnest at the young man before him. Even though what he said was very simple, and also did not require much money to execute, just those very minor changes will immediately give this ce a brand new look. Nangong Yu was already able to imagine that if Heavenly Dream Tower really made these changes, its business would absolutely increase twenty percent.


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He impatiently rubbed his hands together, without the least bit of the elegant and calm demeanor he normally disyed, so much so that he wanted to immediately have someone go and redecorate. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Luo Qing Luan was still in front of him, he probably would¡¯ve already called someone toe.


    "What, just that little bit and Mr. Yu is already satisfied?" Luo Qing Luan looked at him emotionlessly with a smile, yet not smiling. Those things that she said, as far as her previous life was concerned, were basic things known to everyone who watched some television, or maybe those who had attended some live performances would also know. But this Western Chu state had never seen these things before. Heavenly Dream Tower was already a first-rate facility, so it¡¯s obvious what the other courtesan houses, or possibly other simr ces were also like this.


    And also from those boring books, Luo Qing Luan could imagine how monotonous life was for these people at this time and ce.


    Once those words were spoken, Nangong Yu¡¯s eyes nearly popped out. "Is it possible that Little Brother Luo, you know even more?"


    He practically used apletely different mindset to get to know the young man before him all over again. Someone so young, yet had so many ideas, could he be a born genius in business? Otherwise, how could hee up with such clever ideas?


    If he was won over by other courtesan houses, wouldn¡¯t he be Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s biggestpetitor?


    The moment this thought shed through his mind, Nangong Yu immediately had another thought: no matter what, he already could not let this person go. He must find a way to bind himself and this young man together.


    With an attitudepletely different than his previous one, Nangong Yu immediately cordially gestured for Luo Qing Luan to sit down. "Worthy Little Brother Luo, please sit and take your time talking about it. Today I¡¯ve benefited greatly from your advice. Listening to a wise man is better than reading books for ten years. I really could not tell, Brother Luo¡¯s age is so young, yet you surprisingly have this talent."


    Could this really be considered talent? Luo Qing Luan smiled emotionlessly. "Not at all. I merely read a few more books, that¡¯s all."


    Nangong Yu did not believe those words by any means. As the second prince, he had ess to the exceedingly great collection of books in the prince¡¯s pce as well as imperial pce. Howe he had never seen this kind of knowledge within any of those books? But he did not care about this at all, everyone had their own secrets. As long as the other party was willing to help him, it¡¯s fine.


    His face disying increasing resoluteness, Nangong Yu looked at Luo Qing Luan and said, "The things Brother Luo told me today is actually worth ten thousand golds. I¡¯m also not someone who doesn¡¯t have manners. As long as your methods are able to raise my Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s business, I will give thanks appropriately."


    Originally, Luo Qing Luan was just casually speaking and didn¡¯t expect that Nangong Yu would raise the issue of money.


    "If Mr. Yu want to speak of money, then we¡¯ll need to properly discuss it. Those things I casually spoke of, just consider themplimentary, but if Mr. Yu want me to share everything then we¡¯ll need to write it down in ck and white."


    "Rest assured, my words have enormous weight. I absolutely won¡¯t go back on them."


    This was also Nangong Yu¡¯s intention. If Luo Qing Luan and his rtionship was set in writing, then wasn¡¯t that the best way to link the two of them together? Only by spending some money would he improve Heavenly Dream Tower even more, and make even more money.


    In regards to money, he¡¯s really too short of it!


    He immediately had a servant bring brush, ink, and paper. Nangong Yu wrote most of the content. When he reviewed the contract and was deciding their shares, he contemted a bit, then said. "If my Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s business can increase twenty percent, then how about I give you a twenty percent share of the profits. If business can increase thirty percent, then you will have thirty percent of the profits."


    "If I can increase your business forty or fifty percent or even double it then!" Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "Is it possible that Mr. Yu will give me the entire Heavenly Dream Tower?"


    "Cough, cough......"


    When he heard that, Nangong Yu choked. It was quite a while before he regained his senses, then he drank some tea to moisten his mouth before replying. "Brother Luo, you......aren¡¯t you exaggerating a bit?"


    Currently, each day, Heavenly Dream Tower earned no less than one thousand taels of silver each day. Each month, it earned at least twenty thousand teals in pure profits, which basically reached two hundred fifty thousand taels per year. This was only a courtesan house, yet its business nearly approached a tenth of the taxes that the entire state of Western Chu collected. This was the main reason he invested so much money into it.


    Luo Qing Luan just randomly said that she¡¯d double the profits. Was she simply making a joke, or deliberately exaggerating to show off?


    The other party¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t concealed. Luo Qing Luan currently waspletely focused on making money, so she somewhat neglected to notice to Nn Ye, who was paying more and more attention to her. She basically did not discover that his attention had been focused on her while the light in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger.

 Chapter 24 part2

    Chapter 24b: n to Improve the Courtesan House


    <h4></h4>


    This was precisely an expression of evoking an interest in someone!


    If this expression was discovered by Nangong Yu or maybe some familiar with Nn Ye, it¡¯s quite possible their eyeballs would pop out. Western Chu¡¯s always ice-cold Prince of Chu, who waspletely indifferent to everything, when would he pay attention to a youngd?


    [She¡¯s truly interesting!]


    Nn Ye calmly watched Luo Qing Luan blossom like a flower shining under the sunlight. It¡¯s understandable that Nangong Yu was not able to tell her identity since this was their first meeting. However, he knew her true identity. Not only was she not an ordinary woman, she was even the second daughter from the general¡¯s mansion.


    The fiancee that Nangong Chen had just broken up with!


    He originally thought that Luo Qing Luan merely hid her personality, just about the same as those aristocraticdies and princesses who looked to be delicate and kindhearted when in fact, they were vicious and malicious. In but a couple of days, he had just about forgotten about the falling into the pond incident at the general¡¯s mansion.


    But he didn¡¯t expect that he¡¯d see this Luo family¡¯s second daughter again. Not only was she visiting a courtesan house, which was already so world shocking, she even possessed such an abnormal business acumen.


    Merely these points already made Nn Ye interested. Moreover, he was able to tell that Luo Qing Ye had a deep understanding of a man¡¯s mind. Everything that she said was clear and logical.


    Was it possible that she had already experienced men, and was no longer as pure as she seemed on the surface early on?


    Otherwise, how would she have no shame in visiting a courtesan house?


    He wasn¡¯t able to clearly define his state of mind. Was it curiosity, disgust, amazement, rueful......Nn Ye did not expose a single trace as he took the measure of Luo Qing Luan, a ripple already forming in his mind.


    In regards to Nangong Yu¡¯s question, Luo Qing Luan dispelled his misgivings with just a sentence. "As long as Mr. Yu follows my n and repackage all of Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s noteworthy youngdies, you will very quickly be able to see the effect."


    "Repackage them in what way?" Nangong Yu promptly asked.


    "Not difficult, as long as you......"


    Speaking to this point, Luo Qing Luan suddenly felt a severe gaze directly at her from the side. She turned her head to look at Nn Ye, and saw his attentively listening appearance. Her eyebrows creased. She didn¡¯t directly speak, but instead took brush and paper and walked to another ce to write down her thoughts.


    In a moment, she brought the details she wrote down and handed it to Nangong Yu as she said, "Take a look."


    Although he felt a bit awkward that Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t speak in front of Nn Ye, no matter what, he¡¯s the only prince in Western Chu with a differentst name, whose position as a titled prince was higher than his own, Nangong Yu was already too curious now, and he urgently wanted to know what was written on the paper, so he couldn¡¯t be bothered with so much anymore.


    Once he read the contents carefully, sure enough, he was sincerely filled with admiration. "Brilliant, brilliant......how in the world did Worthy Little Brother Luo think of such methods?"


    "Um, after reading many books, I naturally will think of them." Luo Qing Luan used the same excuse she used before.


    "Heh heh, Brother Luo is indeed a genius, ha ha ha......these methods, not only are they novel, not only is the expense not much, I¡¯m totally convinced that before long, Heavenly Dream Tower will distance itselfpletely from the other courtesan houses, fully deserving of being number one-!"


    "Really? Aren¡¯t you thinking about things too simply?" Nn Ye abruptly inserted a sentence.


    In his excitement, Nangong Yu no longer showed the slightest bit of princely bearing that he ordinarily disyed as heughed heartily. "Ziqing, there are some things you don¡¯t know. Brother Luo¡¯s ideas are undoubtedly wonderful, simple, yet applicable. Moreover, it even satisfies those people¡¯s need for novelty and mystery......"


    Speaking to here, he fiercely grunted an assent. "En! Good,based on this n alone, Worthy Little Brother Luo already deserve your earnings. I will take the initiative to give you a thirty percent share, are you satisfied with that?"


    Luo Qing Luan extended four slender fingers as she responded unhurriedly. "I want forty percent."


    "Greedy and never satisfied!" Nn Ye uttered disdainfully, his tone of voice brimming with disgust.


    Nangong Yu started to hesitate somewhat when Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "Don¡¯t forget, these are not the only ideas in my brain."


    "Good, forty percent, then forty percent it is!" Finally, having made his decision, Nangong Yu immediately signed the contract by pressing his fingerprint on it. After that, he gave the contract to Luo Qing Luan. Luo Qing Luan also signed her name on the contract. However, she only signed the two words ¡¯Luo Qing¡¯, then simply said a few words to Nangong Yu before leaving.


    Just as she turned a corner at the third floor, Luo Qing Luan suddenly stopped and turned around. "What, do you have more to say?" Behind her, that man who was always ice-cold and spoke mocking words unexpectedly followed her, causing her to be on guard.


    "You¡¯ve deceived someone into signing a contract and is just going to walk away from it?" Nn Ye used coldly.


    "How did I deceive him?" Luo Qing Luan frowned.


    In regards to this man, she disliked him more and more.


    "Is your name really Luo Qing?" Nn Ye looked at her as he approached closer step by step, exuding a powerful and imposing aura from head to foot, no longer holding back, suddenly forcing Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion to turn white, before the iceberg-like man faced her squarely.


    Who in the world was he? Why did he give her such a powerful oppressive feeling?

 Chapter 25 part1

    Chapter 25a: Abominable, Surprisingly Was Kissed


    <h4></h4>


    Resisting the trace of restraining fear in her heart with difficulty, Luo Qing Luan instead filled herself with more stubbornness, lifting her brows as she replied. "If my name is not Luo Qing, can it be that your name is Luo Qing?"


    Nn Ye¡¯s pupils darkened a dangerous expression suddenly appeared on his lips. "Not only is your name not Luo Qing, you are also a woman! I really did not expect that the grand Luo family¡¯s second daughter surprisingly dressed as a man to visit a courtesan house. No wonder your engagement with the fifth prince has been cancelled by His Majesty. So it¡¯s like this!"


    Pupils contracting abruptly, Luo Qing Luan quickly took a step back,pletely on guard. "Who in the world are you?"


    She didn¡¯t expect that someone actually was able to figure out her identity. Moreover, not only was he able to perceive that she was a woman, he even knew of her identity as the Luo family¡¯s second daughter.


    Her brain quickly pondered over this, yet Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t rx her vignce towards him in the least. She absolutely no longer possessed the rxed and pleased manner she had previously.


    "You don¡¯t need to know how I know. I just want to offer a bit of advice to the second Miss Luo. It¡¯s still better for women to stay at home and stroll outside less. asionally recite poetry, paint, go on outings in the spring and be content with your circumstances." As he spoke, Nn Ye stepped forward. His imposing body was like a sturdy wall, exuding an imposing pressure from head to toe,pletely obstructing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s exit.


    How dangerous!


    This was the most dangerous opponent that Luo Qing Luan had met so far. Even though this person¡¯s looks wasn¡¯t bad, well-defined facial features, sword shaped brows and was pleasant to the eyes, the coldness that his eyes released was intense and dangerous. Just like......she was facing a dangerous lion which could suddenly attack her at any moment.


    Unexpectedly, a person¡¯s name shed through her mind. Luo Qing Luan blurted out, "You¡¯re Nn Ye!"


    She suddenly recalled that in Western Chu, there was one famous person whose name was widely circted. This person¡¯s position was so high and deep that the current emperor trusted and valued him, yet he was cold, aloof, and solitary towards others. Even when he came into contact with imperial family members in general, or even high officials in court, he also seldom disyed a respectful expression.


    He¡¯s never been known to be close to anyone. Nearly every time he¡¯s been seen, he disyed a nk like stiff face to the extent that he obtained a nickname of iceberg prince.


    All of these qualities were basically the same as this man before her eyes. Imposing and threatening, icily arrogant and gloomy. Moreover, at the general¡¯s mansionst time, when she and Luo Qing Shuang fell into the pond, Nn Ye was the only outsider there. Only he would be able to see through her disguise. Therefore, beside Nn Ye, this person could not be any other person.


    A wisp of surprise shed through his eyes. Nn Ye didn¡¯t expect that his identity would so quickly be seen through. For the first time, he exposed a trace of a smiling expression, but it passed in the twinkling of an eye.


    His hand already grabbed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s wrist. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he responded. "Sure enough, the second Miss Luo has a pair of wily eyes......"


    "You¡¯re the one with the wily eyes! Let go of me!"


    Luo Qing Luan no longer cared about keeping up appearances. This person unexpectedly mocked her this way? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she didn¡¯t bring her needles when she left today, she would certainly have stuck a few of them into him. Have him taste the vor of offending her!


    The strength grabbing her wrist was quite formidable. No matter how much Luo Qing Luan I struggled, she couldn¡¯t shake him off. She looked fiercely at Nn Ye then shouted in a deep voice. "If you still won¡¯t let go, careful, I won¡¯t continue to be polite!"


    "What? The Second Miss Luo also want to drag me into the pond to drown?" Nn Ye pondered then asked, not caring at all.


    "So you actually saw it that day?" Luo Qing Yuan was even more startled. She didn¡¯t expect that all of her schemes were seen through clearly and thoroughly by this man.


    If he exposed her, she¡¯s afraid Luo Cheng......how abominable, her body still had not beenpletely nursed back to health. Moreover, she didn¡¯t bring anything she could use. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have cared whether this person was a titled prince or a prince, and would¡¯ve ruthlessly taught him a lesson.


    Some people don¡¯t know real pain unless they¡¯d experienced it!


    "The Second Miss Luo apparently has a lot of secrets......" Nn Ye spoke one word at a time, as a mocking smiling expression appeared on his lips. He watched as the youngdy before him began to be somewhat frantic and felt instead that she was bing more and more interesting. He also wanted to know at the juncture where her life was endangered, under what circumstances would this calm and unperturbed youngdy lose her head out of fear.


    If it was like that, it should be even more amusing, right?


    It¡¯s been so many years. It seemed he finally found a thing that he was interested in.


    With a thought, Luo Qing Luan assumed the appearance of someone who was panicking, afraid that the other party would expose her. "You......what do you want to do? My own matters don¡¯t need your meddling. If you dare to say something, I, I......I will......"


    She hemmed and hawed, although her words were somewhat tough, it clearly stemmed from false bravado, an appearance of appearing fierce while cowardly at heart. The corners of Nn Ye¡¯s mouth started to rise wanting to say something when......


    No small amount of strength came from her hand. He was going to put more force to grab her when unpredictably, Luo Qing Luan instantly threw herself forward and the elbow of her other hand ruthlessly knocked into the pit of his stomach. At the same time, he felt his foot hurt. She already fiercely stepped on his foot repeatedly.


    He was ever so slightly distracted, yet the other party already broke away from his control thoroughly and charged down the stairs.


    What quick reaction, simply not the actions that an ordinary sheltered upper ssdy would have!


    "Nn Ye, I¡¯m warning you, it¡¯s best that you don¡¯t provoke me in the future, otherwise......" At the corner where the stairs led from the third floor to the second floor, not only did Luo Qing Luan not seize the opportunity to leave. She instead stood there and shook her fist at him.


    This girl, she had the chance to escape, but not only did she not leave, she even dared to threaten him?


    He didn¡¯t know if he ought to be angry, or amused. Nn Ye spoke emotionlessly. "Second Miss Luo, your guts are getting bigger and bigger." His voice just dropped when he leapt, like an eagle targeting a rabbit and covered over ten steps to directly throw himself towards Luo Qing Luan.


    What? This man actually was so skilled and even knew light steps martial arts?

 Chapter 25 part2

    <strong>Chapter 25b: Abominable, Surprisingly Was Kissed</strong>


    Only now did Luo Qing Luan discover that she provoked a formidable person. Without thinking further, she turned and rushed down the stairs.


    But she hadn¡¯t run very far, and was still at the stairs leading to the first floor, still barely able to see the big hall when her neck was already detained by a big hand. A deep and low, enticing voice arrived by the side of her ear. ¡°Run, why don¡¯t you run......I want to see where you can run to.¡±


    This damned bastard. He actually bullied her like this?


    Those youngdies in the main hall were still noisy and amusing themselves as before. Apparently, they still had not calmed down from the exciting events that happened just a moment ago. Even that Mama Du was standing by their side saying something to one of thedies.


    With a nce, Luo Qing Luan yelled out loud. ¡°Let me go, you shameless character. I¡¯m a man, why are you touching me like that, what a scandal!¡±


    This voice hardly sounded when those people within the main hall immediately looked towards the stairs, several tens of pairs of eyes, simultaneously focused on Luo Qing Luan and Nn Ye. When they saw clearly that both were males, everyone¡¯splexion immediately changed.


    Quickly turning her head, Luo Qing Luan said in a quiet voice. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be misunderstood, it¡¯s best that you quickly let go of me.¡±


    ¡°Is that right?¡±


    She totally didn¡¯t expect that Nn Ye not only didn¡¯t let go of her hand, he instead used force to directly pull her into his chest and confined her tightly in his arms. A hidden light shed in his eyes, brimming with a difficult to describe feeling, as he said indistinctly by her ear. ¡°Nobody has ever threatened me before. How can I let you off lightly.¡±


    ¡°What do you want......¡±


    Luo Qing Luan did not get to finish her sentence when she only felt a shadow before her eyes and a man¡¯s clear and cold breath charging at her. Her lips were blocked!


    Only after she trembled from head to toes did she react. She was unexpectedly kissed by someone!


    Moreover, the person who kissed her was Nn Ye, this repulsive, extremely loathsome man!


    ¡°Oh¨Cmy god, look, what are they doing?¡±


    ¡°A man kissing a man, this is simply......¡±


    ¡°Aiya, they¡¯re actually getting intimate in public. It¡¯s that young man from before and another man!¡±


    Countless numbers of screams from the youngdies immediately sounded by her ears, filled with excitement. They¡¯re watching a good show and were also astonished, some even wished for the world to go into chaos, but without exception, very likely, everybody was staring at them at this moment.


    She did not know where her strength came from. Luo Qing Luan exerted herself to push away the man lingering on her lips, fiercely ring at him. ¡°Despicable, shameless, vulgar, vile!¡±


    Yet Nn Ye did not take the slightest offense. On the contrary, he exposed a seldom seen smiling expression. He rubbed his lips. ¡°Second Miss Luo, you apparently taste pretty good. Has another man ever said this before?¡±


    ¡°None of your goddamn business!¡± She¡¯s even spouting profanity now, Luo Qing Luan could not stand it anymore. She charged down the stairs and rushed out of Heavenly Dream Tower without saying a word.


    Once she ran into the street, she finally recalled that Dai Yue still hadn¡¯t caught up to her. She turned around to wait for her. Only after a while did she see Dai Yue running over while gasping for breath, repeatedly patting her heart. ¡°Sir, Sir, you ran so.....too fast, I nearly couldn¡¯t catch, catch up.¡±


    ¡°Return home!¡± She coldly spit out two words. Luo Qing Luan was no longer in the mood to continue their stroll.


    Once they returned to their little courtyard, Luo Qing Luan immediately had Dai Yue give her a hot water bath. If she didn¡¯t wash herself clean of that bastard¡¯s smell, she simply wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep.


    As she was pouring water, Dai Yue asked cautiously. ¡°Mydy, just now, you and that man......he, why did he kiss you?¡±


    Previously, she also saw, but her mistress was clearly dressed as a man. Why did that person still kiss her? She couldn¡¯t make sense of it.


    Resisting her disgust, Luo Qing Luan answered irritably. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about it. That man must be ill. Next time, if I see him again, I must properly put him in order without fail.¡±


    She had to improve her health as soon as possible. Moreover, she also must study and practice the acupuncture techniques that she previously knew so as to avoid falling out of practice. When that time came, she must make that disgusting man experience the pain.


    Dare to provoke her! ?


    Finally, the bath water had been prepared. As Dai Yue washed her back, she said softly. ¡°My Lady, you should be more careful next time. It¡¯s best that you don¡¯t go out too much, alright? Otherwise......if the Master finds out, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll again......¡±


    Swiftly, a thought shed in her mind. Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help butugh.


    ¡°Mydy, what are youughing at. If what happened today were to be made known to the Master, or maybe the side madam, they will scold you for sure.¡± Dai Yue¡¯s face was filled with worry.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of. As long as you don¡¯t say anything and I don¡¯t say anything, who will know that I went out today? The one visiting the Heavenly Dream Tower was a young man and not the Luo family¡¯s second daughter. Anyway, I¡¯ve already thought of a way to sort out that loathsome man.¡±


    Humph, humph, no more than a few days from now, she will have Nn Ye¡¯s reputation reach rock bottom, shameful name spread far and wide!


    ......


    Three dayster, again, a rumor exploded in the capital. Reportedly, it spread from Heavenly Dream Tower.


    His Highness, the stately Prince of Chu, iparably honorable, the one who his majesty trusted and valued, Prince Nn Ye, surprisingly was a homosexual!


    Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion. Nn Ye heard the news brought by his subordinates and couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°What? It¡¯s a rumor that she spread?¡±

    <h4></h4>


    "My Lady, are you ill and need more medicine?" Dai Yue was somewhat worried.


    "These medicines are not for me to take. They have other uses. Don¡¯t buy all of them from one pharmacy. Buy them from several different pharmacies. Don¡¯t let them see the entire prescription, understand?"


    "My Lady, are you ill and need more medicine?" Dai Yue was somewhat worried.


    "These medicines are not for me to take. They have other uses. Don¡¯t buy all of them from one pharmacy. Buy them from several different pharmacies. Don¡¯t let them see the entire prescription, understand?"


    It¡¯s the first time that he thought women were quite interesting. At least, Luo Qing Yue made him have this feeling.


    There had never been someone daring like her. Not just daring to hit him, but also start a rumor like that to nder him, turning him into a man who liked men. It could be seen just how big her guts are!


    After pondering for awhile, in his mind, every bit of displeasure that this news caused surprisingly disappeared as his lips raised into a curve. Nn Ye discovered that his mood was pretty good.


    Ever since he handed over his military authority, and barely obtained the emperor¡¯s trust, not only was he unable to rxfortably, on the contrary, he became even busier. It¡¯s just that these matters simply could not be spoken to anyone and without exception, everything had to be personally handled by him. The pressure from these matters was something that absolutely nobody could know.


    At present, it seemed as if he found something which could bnce his mood, and it¡¯s even a young girl?


    "Truly a little wildcat......" Nn Ye smiled.


    His subordinate did not overlook Nn Ye¡¯s smiling expression which shed and passed. He felt as if his hairs stood up in his mind.


    [The prince actually smiled. My God, was it possible that he birthed some feeling for this girl who spread the rumor, the Luo family¡¯s second daughter? Was it a liking for her, or killing intent towards her? Forget it, it¡¯s still better to not make a wild guess and avoid offending the prince. Otherwise, he won¡¯t even know how he died.]


    "Alright, you can withdraw. Find someone to watch her. Report any news to me."


    "Yes."


    In the general¡¯s mansion, someone was also simrly shocked by the rumor about Nn Ye.


    As Luo Qing Shuang drank the rose nectar that Chun Mei offered to her, her red lips opened slightly to say in a spoiled manner, "Mother, luckily you didn¡¯t listen to fatherst time, as a matter of fact...... never expected that the Prince of Chu actually likes men. If I were married to him, I would be disgusted to death."


    Once she thought of the scene of two men hugging each other affectionately, she could not stand it and trembled all over from disgust. Moreover, this news spread from Heavenly Dream Tower. Reportedly, at that time, the people who saw were not limited to one person. Not only is Nn Ye a homosexual, he even visited courtesan houses. Simply nauseating.


    "Aiya, Mother also never imagined it."


    A face shadowed by lingering fears, Wang Xue Ru tightly pinched her silk cloth, face somewhat pale. "His Highness the majestic Prince of Chu, His Majesty¡¯s most popr person, actually had this interest. No wonder he was never intimate with any woman. He and His Majesty shouldn¡¯t also be....."


    Promptly covering her mouth, as if she suddenly became aware of an enormous secret, she quickly looked at her surroundings. Only after she discovered that there were no outsiders did she let out a breath of relief.


    "Mother, what are you afraid of? Right now, the one I¡¯m marrying is Fifth Prince and not Nn Ye." Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s face was filled with an expression of happiness. Even the rose nectar in her cup seemed more fragrant.


    That¡¯s the man she liked that most. From the first time she met him, she already fell for Nangong Chen¡¯s humor, charm, and handsome appearance. After she found out that Nangong Chen had the identity of a prince, she decided that she would marry no man other than him.


    Now that His Majesty had already issued his order, her wish was finally fulfilled.


    However......she was merely a concubine.


    This was the only troubling point!


    "Oh yeah, Qing Shuang, to avoid having troubled dreams in a long night (avoid unforeseen circumstances from popping up) you should quickly marry into the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. Didn¡¯t you say that the fifth prince likes you a lot? Have the two of you settled on a wedding day?"


    Speaking of this, Qing Shuang¡¯splexion lightened.


    A few days ago, Fifth Prince came once. She originally wanted to ask his if they could properly make arrangements. After all, she¡¯s the oldest daughter of the general¡¯s mansion. A big matter like getting married, shouldn¡¯t it be lively no matter what?


    But Nangong Chen focused on other things. She hadn¡¯t spoken a couple of sentences before he raised and lowered his hand. She was actually waved away by him. Nangong Chen was let off lightly. In the end, the matter of the wedding date was still not discussed properly.


    "Mother, I don¡¯t care. No matter what, I¡¯m still the oldest daughter of the general¡¯s mansion. Even if His Majesty said that I¡¯m to be a concubine, however.....making a few small arrangements also shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, right?"


    Luo Qing Shuang acted spoiled again. "Why don¡¯t you go talk to Father, have him go to have a talk with Fifth Prince. I want Fifth Prince to personallye and escort me. Since we won¡¯t have a pnquin with eight carriers, a small pnquin with four carriers should be fine, right? Also those betrothal gifts shouldn¡¯t be left out. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t the general¡¯s mansion also lose face?"


    Hearing her daughter¡¯s logic, Wang Xu Ru also nodded after considering it. That¡¯s right, how could they wrong her precious daughter? If the Master won¡¯t agree to this, she won¡¯tply!


    In regards to this matter, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t know for the time being.


    At this moment, she was using needles to heal her body, wanting to recover as soon as possible.


    It¡¯s already been three days since she returned from Heavenly Dream Tower. Even though she persevered each day, and moreover, her body¡¯s recovery could be considered not bad, every time she recalled Nn Ye¡¯s actions, as before, she didn¡¯t feel the slightest sense of security.


    If she ran into an opponent as powerful as he was again, or someone who simrly was skilled in martial arts, merely depending on her current body would bring about the same result as before, inability to resist.


    She had never received training. Even of she thoroughly took care of her body, at most, she would have the same strength as the majority of women. Last time, she could still catch Nn Ye off guard. He certainly would not give her a second chance again.


    Luo Qing Luan knew that her body had already passed the optimum age for learning martial arts. Even if she also knew some capturing techniques and some wrestling techniques in her previous life, whenpared to the experts here, she simply could notpare.


    However, it¡¯s not bad that she knew some self defense techniques. In addition, she¡¯d have to quickly create some more dependable ways to protect herself.


    As Ghost Doctor¡¯s sole disciple, could she reallye up with nothing?


    Smiling faintly, picked up a brush and wrote down some medicinal ingredients, then gave it to Dai Yue.

    "My Lady, are you ill and need more medicine?" Dai Yue was somewhat worried.


    "These medicines are not for me to take. They have other uses. Don¡¯t buy all of them from one pharmacy. Buy them from several different pharmacies. Don¡¯t let them see the entire prescription, understand?" Even though Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t feel at all that someone would discover her prescription, it was a habit for her to be vignt. She did not want there to be any mishap.


    After two hours, Dai Yue returned.


    Luo Qing Luan opened all of the medicinal ingredients that were purchased on the table top and had Dai Yue go out and guard the door so as to avoid someone charging into her room likest time.


    "Five taels of Hypnotic Blooms, twenty Bedona blossoms, also ten of the finest quality Mystic Seeds, adding to these ingredients......" Luo Qing Luan conscientiously checked them, a trace of a smiled appearing on her face.


    She prepared to produce two kinds of drugs. One possessing the ability to render someone unconscious. No matter whether someone drank it or smelled it, they would still lose consciousness for a period of time. Moreover, there wouldn¡¯t be any side effects. This kind of drug was the best kind to use to deal with any sudden circumstance, for instance, like one fromst time. If at that time, she had carried this ckout Powder with her then how could that bastardly loathsome man have taken advantage of her?


    As for the second drug, it¡¯s not so simple. Luo Qing Luan prepared to produce a kind of highly toxic drug. In order for her to use this kind of drug, the situation she ran into must be extremely dangerous. For the sake of self defense, why would she care whether the other party would die or not?


    Her former self had the nickname Charming Ghost Doctor. That did not only refer to her outstanding appearance, it was more because of her viciousness and mercilessness. The face that she showed her enemies was ruthless and relentless. As long as someone provoked her, they would absolutely be dealt with by her to the point that they could neither beg for life nor beg for death, only regretting that they were born on this earth.


    Sigh.......


    Luo Qing Luan let out a long gentle breath. She couldn¡¯t help thinking about her previous life again.


    No matter how careful she was, in the end, wasn¡¯t she still shot dead by a sneak attack! Otherwise, how would shee here?


    Still, in this life, she absolutely wouldn¡¯t allow this kind of thing to happen again!


    It was night time before she could finally allocate the drugs.


    She cleverly used three balls of candle wax to seal three portions of ckout Powder inside. Two portions were hidden inside the hollow pearl earrings on her earlobes. One portion was hidden inside the end of the hairpin that held her male style hair bun, essible at any time. Moreover, these would not be easily discovered by anyone.


    As for the Heart Severing Pill, because the quantity of medicinal ingredients that could be obtained was a problem, she only made three grains. She carefully put them away inside the fragrant sachet that she carried on her person, simrly concealed. These things were more or less enough for her to use. Luo Qing Luan properly put away the leftover medicinal ingredients and cleaned everything neatly. She even had Dai Yue light some incense so that no anomalies could be perceived whatsoever.


    Just as she was making the bed for Luo Qing Luan, Dai Yue suddenly recalled something and turned her head around to say, "That¡¯s right, My Lady, today, when I passed by the Master¡¯s room, it seemed as if I heard the side madam talking to the Master about the eldestdy¡¯s wedding."


    Could it be that Luo Qing Shuang was getting impatient about being married off?


    Her lips curving up, Luo Qing Luan asked levelly. "What did Father¡¯s Concubine say?"


    Dai Yue pouted her lips. "Side Madam actually said to Master to have Fifth Prince personallye and escort Eldest Lady. However......isn¡¯t the eldestdy getting sent off as a concubine? I¡¯ve not heard of a concubine getting simr treatment as a wife?"


    But once she thought about it, Luo Qing Luan already understood. Naturally, Luo Qing Shuan wasn¡¯t resigned to her fate and wanted to struggle to obtain some face.


    "Did Father agree to it?" She asked.


    "Yes. The Master dotes on the side madam and eldestdy so much. How could he not agree? Master even said that in two days, he will personally visit Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion to engage in talks. He must fight for a little something for his eldest daughter and even said that he wants to send a bigger dowry!"


    Unable to bear not crying out against injustice to her own mistress, Dai Yue said, "My Lady, you¡¯re also Master¡¯s daughter, and is even a child of his main wife, but why is Master treating you this way. You can¡¯t evenpare to a half of the Eldest Lady."


    Luo Qing Luan did not care about this point at all. Early on, she already no longer considered Luo Cheng to be her father.


    "It doesn¡¯t matter. Elder Sister wants to marry Nangong Chen in a grand manner, but we¡¯ll have to see whether her luck is good or bad."


    Could it be so easy? Her vicious and merciless sister wanted to have her wish fulfilled, but things wouldn¡¯t be allowed to go so smoothly!


    To someone who respects me one meter, I will in turn respect them ten meters. Luo Qing Shuang wanted to put her on the road to death. Now that Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s getting married she will also humiliate her.


    On the second day, Luo Qing Luan deliberately got up early and went to the main hall. Sure enough, she saw Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Shuang, and Luo Cheng eating breakfast together. Fine side dishes were arranged on the table top. Meat porridge, steamed dragon dumplings, aslo lotus seed soup, everything that could be here is here.


    "Why are you here?" Once he saw her, Luo Cheng felt somewhat ufortable.


    "Eh? Qing Luan, you normally eat at your own courtyard. Why are you at our ce today?" Only after Wang Xue Ru spoke in a strange manner did she suddenly realized. "Come,e,e and sit down to eat breakfast. Don¡¯t be formal. In any case, we¡¯re all one family."


    "I¡¯m only afraid that younger sister won¡¯t be used to eating our breakfast?"


    Luo Qing Shuang smiled before continuing. "Ordinarily, doesn¡¯t younger sister like to eat vegetables the most? All of our dishes contain either meat or fish. I¡¯m afraid that you may not be used to it."


    How could she not tell that these three people simply did not take her to be a member of the family at all. Otherwise for so many years, how would they not even call her when it was meal time? Luo Qing Luan appeared as if she did not hear the meaning in between their lines and smiled. "No need. I¡¯ve already eaten."


    "Since you¡¯ve already eaten, then why don¡¯t you return to your own room. Girls should not run around all over the ce and avoid falling into the water again, making an exhibition of herself." Luo Cheng said in a cold voice and even cast a nce at her filled with disgust.


    No longer feeling anything towards whatever he had to say, Luo Qing Luan not only didn¡¯t feel sad, she also didn¡¯t leave. On the contrary, she sat down on a chair to the side and said softly. "I came to speak with Father regarding something."


    Luo Qing Shuang put down her chopsticks and purposefully replied. "In a little while, Father will be visiting Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion to discuss the matter of our wedding. What......don¡¯t tell me that younger sister is also anxious to be married off?"


    Luo Qing Luan took a nce at her, then spoke levelly. "If Father truly want to persuade Fifth Prince to have a grand wedding for Elder Sister¡¯s sake, then that will bring disaster upon our general¡¯s mansion. May Father reconsider it."


    Luo Cheng¡¯splexion darkened and put down his chopsticks with a bang, angrily shouting, "What nonsense are you saying?"

    <h4></h4>


    Once they heard these words, Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru immediately changed expression even more. "Qing Luan, what do you mean by that? Qing Shuang getting married to Fifth Prince is a happy asion for our General¡¯s Mansion. How can you curse your own sister?" Wang Xue Ru¡¯s face turned totally gloomy. Her previous smiling expression was already gone.


    Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s eyes shed, resentment shed by within their depths, following which she sobbed as if with impassioned grief. The rims of her eyes werepletely red. "Younger Sister, how can you say that? Can it be because you¡¯re not resigned to be divorced from Fifth Prince, so that¡¯s why you¡¯re making such irresponsible remarks? I¡¯m not the one who caused your engagement to be broken. This is His Majesty¡¯s decree. How can you curse me like this?" As she spoke, she even dabbed her tears in a very aggrieved manner. Turning her head, she cried towards Luo Cheng. "Father, since Younger Sister is unhappy, then I will not marry......"


    "Nonsense!" Luo Cheng shouted to stop her from babbling nonsense. He turned to look at Luo Qing Luan, almost seemed to be angry enough to hit her. "You......you rebellious daughter. What kind of rubbish are you speaking early in the morning? You¡¯re really looking forward to disaster descending upon our General¡¯s Mansion aren¡¯t you? Qing Shuang is your older sister. She¡¯s getting married and not only do you not feel happy for her, on the contrary, you even curse her, you....."


    "Father, I don¡¯t have the slightest intention of cursing ELder Sister." From the start, she understood that there would be this kind of oue. Luo Qing Luan already made mental preparations. A cold thought shed by the depths of her eyes. She bent her body in a courteous salute, then continued unflinchingly. "I only want to ask Father. His Majesty verbally decreed that Elder Sister is to be bestowed upon Fifth Prince as a concubine, but has anybody ever heard that taking in a minor concubine requires the groom to personally serve as an escort for the bride, wantonly making such a disy? If Father truly visited Fifth Prince to discuss this, not to mention whether Fifth Prince will agree, this will vite His Majesty¡¯s decree since the wedding will take on the formality of marrying a wife."


    "If the imperial censor were to report to the emperor that Fifth Prince and our general¡¯s mansion vited His Majesty¡¯s decree, at that time.....wouldn¡¯t His Majesty send judgment upon us?"


    After hearing this, Luo Cheng¡¯s pupils constricted. The words he was originally going to use to scold her reached his lips and stopped there.


    Previously, he was stirred by Wang Xue Ru, both fawning on him as well as weeping such that he felt helpless. Moreover, he also liked Luo Qing Shuang to begin with, that¡¯s why he wanted to make a trip to Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. But now, after listening to Luo Qing Luan say this, he wasn¡¯t an idiot after all, after thinking about it for a bit, he understood the vital points of the matter.


    After remaining taciturn for quite a while, Luo Cheng did not say a single word, but his expression gradually rxed. It was very clear that he¡¯s made a decision.


    "Father......"


    Luo Qing Shuang had continually fixed her gaze on Luo Cheng. Seeing that he was truly getting persuaded by Luo Qing Laun, she promptly said, "You shouldn¡¯t listen to younger sister¡¯s nonsense. Why would His Majesty me Fifth Prince and you?"


    Wang Xue Ru also red fiercely at Luo Qing Luan, in a hurry to turn Luo Cheng¡¯s thoughts. "Master, this is Qing Shuang¡¯s wedding, a major event in her life. We can¡¯t be negligent about it. Even if there is some justification in what this girl is saying, we merely want to make the asion lively. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that, right? Our general¡¯s mansion is also prestigious, with a daughter properly marrying into the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. Forget that she¡¯s being sent off as a minor concubine, don¡¯t tell me that we can¡¯t even show a bit ofvishness?"


    Actually, in her heart, she indeed hated Luo Qing Luan to the extreme. The girl didn¡¯te earlier, didn¡¯teter. She had to insist oning at this time to speak. If she truly influenced her precious daughter¡¯s wedding, she would absolutely pit her life against this loathsome girl¡¯s!


    "Father¡¯s Concubine, you can¡¯t say that!" Luo Qing Luan was calm and unhurried. Instead, she sat down. "Elder Sister is indeed the oldest daughter from the general¡¯s mansion, there is not need to argue this point, however......Father and Father¡¯s Concubine should not forget the matter which happened before. I heard that a book about Elder Sister and a man spread throughout the capital......"


    "Shut up, Luo Qing Luan, you¡¯re not allowed to continue!"


    Luo Qing Shuang originally cared about this matter the most. It would forever be a scar on her body. How could she permit the younger sister who she hated the most mention this book?


    "Fine, I won¡¯t bring it up."


    Smiling faintly, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t who the slightest offense. "But this matter happened after all. Everyone in the entire capital knows about it. I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯s also because of this matter that His Majesty promised Elder Sister to Fifth Prince to be his concubine. That can be considered a way of saving our General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s reputation."


    Turning her head to look at Luo Cheng, she said indifferently, "Therefore, Father, Elder Sister¡¯s matter originally already made His Majesty unhappy. If you still insist on having Fifth Prince escort the bride in a high profile manner, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll quickly draw our Luo family into a disaster."


    She just finished speaking when Luo Qing Shuang was already so angry that she stood up and charged Luo Qing Luan while screaming. "You¡¯re speaking nonsense!"


    Wang Xue Ru¡¯splexion also ashened as she coldly said. "Loathsome girl, whatever Master may do, is it up to you to lecture him......"


    "Shut up!"


    With a shockingly furious shout, Luo Cheng pped down and the bowl of porridge in front of him immediately flipped over, spilling all over the table.


    "Master, look at this daughter of yours......"


    Wang Xue Ru still thought that Luo Cheng was angry at Luo Qing Luan and wanted to continue pouring oil into the fire using her mouth. How could she have imagined that Luo Cheng fired a sentence against her ¡¯Shut up!¡¯. Herplexion ashened. Only now did she know that something¡¯s wrong and quickly covered her mouth.


    Taking in a deep breath, Luo Cheng gazed at Luo Qing Luan, for the first time taking her words seriously.


    In the past, he indeed did not think much about the matter. Now that Luo Qing Luan analyzed things bit by bit for him, he suddenly became clear-headed.

 Chapter 27 part2

    Chapter 27b: Big n to Make Money


    <h4></h4>


    In the past, because Nangong Chen was originally Luo Qing Luan¡¯s unmarried husband, and also because this marriage was personally appointed by the deceased empress, he had never considered having his eldest daughter, Luo Qing Shuang, rece his other daughter¡¯s position. Instead, he took a fancy to that revered Prince of Chu, Nn Ye.


    Butter, the rumors regarding the erotic illustrated books urred which directly led to Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s reputation reaching rock bottom. Don¡¯t even think about climbing towards Nn Ye, he¡¯s afraid even a regr official wouldn¡¯t be willing to bring this kind of daughter-inw into their family.


    Therefore, when Nangong Chen was willing to cancel his engagement with Luo Qing Luan and marry Luo Qing Shuang instead he agreed without the slightest hesitation.


    As far as what he owed his eldest daughter, after all, with her identity as an aristocratic daughter, yet bing a concubine, how could he not feel guilty about it? Even though he knew that Wang Xue Ru¡¯s request was somewhat unreasonable, he still did not think much on it.


    But he certainly did not anticipate that Luo Qing Luan would hit the nail on the head and pointed out that his blunder which might possibly drag the entire general¡¯s mansion to drown in the water.


    "Qing Luan, Father has carefully thought about what you said. It is indeed somewhat reasonable."


    After all was said and done, he felt somewhat ill. Luo Cheng spoke in a gloomy voice. "Then let¡¯s not talk to Fifth Prince about having him personally escort the bride. Let¡¯s immediately choose a propitious day and just have Luo Qing Shuang sent over there."


    "Father¡ª-" Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s face also ashened.


    "Master, can this matter still be......"


    Luo Cheng directly interrupted Wang Xue Ru by raising his hand, then said, "No need. I¡¯ve already made up my mind about this matter. Everything is to be kept simple. Right now, I¡¯ll visit Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion and choose a propitious day together with him. You and Qing Shuang should make preparations, so that there¡¯ll be no issues when that timees."


    Finished speaking, he also didn¡¯t eat his meat and just turned and entered an inner room to change his clothes, getting ready to leave.


    Once Luo Cheng left, Luo Qing Shuang also could no longer control her rage. "Luo Qing Luan, are you satisfied this time?"


    "What is Elder Sister saying?"


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "I¡¯m truly looking after your interests as to avoid everyone encountering a mishap. Since Father hasmanded, Elder Sister and Father¡¯s Concubine should hurry and go make preparations. Oh yeah, I have yet to congratte Elder Sister for marrying her ideal husband. I still have things to do, so I won¡¯t disturb you."


    Finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.


    ......


    After she¡¯d settled this matter, Luo Qing Luan felt invigorated. All of the slight gloominess that she felt in the past when Qing Shuang picked on her was swept away cleanly and neatly.


    "My Lady......" As Dai Yue put the room in order, she asked curiously. "Is the side madam really going to send the eldestdy into Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion surreptitiously?" Wonder if the side madam will truly be able to bear it. When that time came, perhaps it might get interesting. Too bad she wouldn¡¯t be able to see it.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shined. She was in the middle of writing the sequel to that book she delivered to Boss List time and casually blurted. "That¡¯s correct. When the timees, it¡¯s a pity that her head will surely be covered by the veil, and we won¡¯t be able to see her sobbing face."


    No matter, she truly wasn¡¯t very interested in Luo Qing Shuang getting married to Fifth Prince. What mattered to her more was what¡¯s the best way to make money as soon as possible. Also her acupuncture techniques, she also want to quickly be skilled at it.


    At present, her current body was truly much clumsier than her former body.


    Once she finished writing this book, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue properly put away the paper and brushes while she started to figure out how much money she currently had.


    She opened the secretpartment in her bed¡¯s headboard and felt inside for the little wooden box. What was contained inside was all of the money that she currently possessed. Besides the one thousand taels that she received from Boss Li the first time she met him, as well as her forty percent cut of profits from sales. There was then the one thousand five hundred she received the second time around.


    Even though she spent some money at Heavenly Dream Tower, in the end, she still won back two thousand taels. As for the contract she made with Mr. Yu, because it was too soon to produce results, she¡¯s afraid that still required a period of time.


    She prepared to make another trip to Heavenly Dream Tower to take another look. If Mr. Yu had everything prepared, then she would be able to make money at all times. One she thought about the shining white silvers which will flow into her pockets like running water, Luo Qing Luan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.


    "Let¡¯s go, Dai Yue. We¡¯ll go to Heavenly Dream Tower again."


    Inside Heavenly Dream Tower, Luo Qing Luan did not immediately see Mr. Yu at all. Rather, she waited for over an hour before he leisurely showed himself.


    "I¡¯m really so sorry, Brother Luo, I had some matter to attend to and camete. Did you wait long?" During these few days, Nangong Yu had almost always left early and returnedte, the time he spent at his home reduced by more than half.


    But once he thought about Luo Qing Luan¡¯s pointers, he then itched to see results as quickly as possible. Consequently, he had always been upied with making preparations here. Just now, he went to inquire about the training of several youngdies who arrived recently. Once he heard that Luo Qing Luan came, he hurried over.


    "It¡¯s alright, today I came to ask you how the preparations areing along." Luo Qing Luan said faintly.


    "I was just about to tell you about this matter."


    Nangong Yu called for Mama Du and had her quickly make some preparations. After a short period of time, three pretty young girls withpletely different styles came. They quickly paid their respects to the two people.


    Luo Qing Luan looked at these three people. The first one named Ruyan (Like Mist) was indeed like her name implied. She wore a full length bluish-green cotton dress along with a lightyer of makeup. Long, shapely eyebrows, exquisite nose, her appearance seemed to reveal a faintly sorrowful nature. Even though she was somewhat inexperienced, Luo Qing Luan supposed that given a bit of time, and also after the process of repackaging, she would absolutely attain a big reputation.


    The second named Hongyu (Rainbow Jade) was lively instead. Even though she had not taken the initiative to speak, she still did not flinch at all when Luo Qing Luan looked straight at her and even smiled back. She wore a red dress and applied a bit more makeup that Ruyan, appearing even more charming.


    As for the third one, she actually could not see any distinguishing feature. Conforming to the norms of society, her appearance was delicate and pretty, that¡¯s all. Luo Qing Luan looked at Nangong Yu and asked puzzled, "This youngdy......"


    Apparently somewhat proud of himself, Nangong Yu¡¯s eyebrows lifted as he answered, "This s Miss Fengming (Cry of the Phoenix). She¡¯s skilled with the bamboo flute. I searched for a long time before meeting her by ident. Would you like to listen to her flute?"


    "Sure. Let¡¯s hear it. Only this way will we be ensured of sess when the timees."


    Since this was the first time that they tried her ideas, Luo Qing Luan could not be careless no matter what. She must ensure that the results exceeded the norm by far.

 Chapter 28 part1

    Chapter 28a: The First Wondrous Move


    <h4></h4>


    Fengming gave the two of them a bow, then took the bamboo flute that Mama Du offered to her. She sat on the stool and yed the flute.


    Once it sounded, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shined.


    Even though she was not so skilled at music at all, she was still able to distinguish whether something sounded good or not.


    The sound of this flute was just like ark in the mountains, mellow and sweet, making a person enthralled listening to it. And the music also revolved as if there were clouds and mist hazily covering the morning skies, making the music not so distinct. This flute music changed again a third time and suddenly the pitch was raised extremely high, as if the skrk flew into the skies, rising softly and brightly quickly.


    Once she finished the song, Fengming then half rose out of her stool. Only then did Luo Qing Luan regain her senses.


    "Not bad. Not bad indeed."


    Luo Qing Luan nodded as she smiled. "These three youngdies each have their own style. I guarantee, Mr. Yu, that your Heavenly Dream Tower will be an instant hit. From now on, you no longer need to worry about yourpetitors."


    Nangong Yu waved his hand then stood up in a verycent manner. "Since Worthy Brother Luo also say this, then let¡¯s make it tomorrow night. We¡¯ll formerly being tomorrow night. I already had people distribute invitations cards to invite the most well-known wealthy merchants at the capital, officials and also some famous schrs here. As long as they are satisfied, they will naturally help us spread the word."


    Looking at his extremely confident expression, the corners of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mouth curved up. "Mr. Yu, you shouldn¡¯t be nning to just have these threedies go up on stage and directly offering their skills right?"


    If it was truly like that, then she¡¯s afraid that the result of her arrangements would be reduced by quite a bit, so much so that they would basically be useless.


    Slightly stumped for words, Nangong Yu couldn¡¯t understand what she meant and asked puzzled, "What Brother Luo means is......"


    Shaking her head, Luo Qing Luan thought to herself, thank goodness.


    If she didn¡¯t luckilye today to take a look, she would still not be aware that Heavenly Dream Tower had already passed out invitations. When that time came, Mr. Yu would act on his own initiative and release the new redecorated Heavenly Dream Tower along with these new youngdies. The effect would be very minimal. Not only would he waste her new ideas, she¡¯s afraid he would even think that she was a swindler.


    "Bring your ear over and I¡¯ll tell you."


    Luo Qing Luan waved her hand then whispered in his ear. "Have you heard everything clearly? You need to do it this way. Seize the time that we have left, otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to get everything done in time."


    As Nangong Yu listened, he nodded repeatedly. Even though he didn¡¯tpletely understand Luo Qing Luan¡¯s intent, he immediately had people go and make preparations.


    ......


    Very quickly, almost every prestigious person in the capital, those with wealth, or those with illustrious names, no matter whether they newly passed the imperial exams or they were old and gray-haired big schrs, government officials, or thirty or forty year old middle-aged merchants, practically all of them received Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s invitation.


    Within the state of Western Chu, even though everyone still regarded a courtesan as lowly in status, all of them believed that it¡¯s prestigious and stylish to be able to visit the courtesan houses to enjoy a beauty¡¯s tenderness holding onto one in their left arm, embracing another in their right arm. So much so that there were also people who, in order to win a smile from a famous ¡¯Queen of Flowers¡¯, they would wantonly bet their wealth to finally be able to win over the beauty, which even became an anecdote which others approved of and discussed enthusiastically.


    Therefore, each and everyone who received Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s invitation were honored in their respective fields and nearly all of them came.


    The skies had not darkenedpletely, yet the lobby inside Heavenly Dream Tower was already filled with people.


    As the owner, Nangong Yu naturally wouldn¡¯t lower his own noble position to personally greet the guests, therefore Mama Du was busy nearly every second. Facing these many high officials and important people, each of whom could not be offended, her whole face nearly smiled to the point of stiffening.


    "Mama Du, your invitation card indeed talked of wonderful things. You¡¯re going tounch apletely new presentation and also new youngdies, guaranteeing experiences that we¡¯ve never encountered before. What......"


    A big-bellied middle-aged man brimming with a wealthy aura from head to toe pointed to the middle of the stage and asked, "You guys merely changed the stage, surrounding it with some thin curtains, and you can call that a new presentation?"


    After Luo Qing Luan¡¯s pointers, Nangong Yu already had people add some semi-transparent red colored curtains to the originally wide open stage. A hazy feeling permeated its appearance. But as far as these officials who had seen much of the world were concerned, how would they care about something like that?


    Mama Du also didn¡¯t know what in the world her owner wanted to do tonight. Once she saw this middle-aged person who was the current administration¡¯s assistant minister of revenue, Yan Xushan, she quickly smiled and replied. "Aiya, Vice-Minister Yan, please don¡¯t look down on this stage. Our Heavenly Dream Tower especially invited the best artisans to remodel it. In a moment, you¡¯ll find out what¡¯s outstanding about it. I guarantee you¡¯ll be satisfied."


    Right at this moment, Luo Qing Luan and Nangong Yu were watching the situations downstairs from the fourth floor. They were also waiting for the guests to arrive. After that, they then could officially start the program.


    "Brother Luo, your ideas are truly......"


    Things havinge to a head, Nangong Yu suddenly lost confidence.


    It wasn¡¯t at all because he truly cared how satisfied the guests might be with Heavenly Dream Tower, rather it¡¯s because Heavenly Dream Tower was his biggest source of ie. It had to do with the money in his pockets.


    There were so many things that he wanted to do and each of those things needed the support of money, to the extent that he was somewhat worried.


    Yet Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t the least bit worried. Based on thest book that she just casually wrote, it was enough for her to imagine that when these guests watched such a novel performance, how much their horizons would be expanded, how they would enjoy themselves so much that they would forget to go home, pushing Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s reputation to a difficult to predict level.


    "Calm down~"


    She waved her hand and faintly smiled. "Just wait and see."

    Chapter 28b: The First Wondrous Move


    <h4></h4>


    The lobby below them was bing more and more lively. More and more guests were pouring in unceasingly. Everyone pointed to the stage that¡¯s beenpletely remodeled and also guessed at every little bit of news that they were able to find out. The atmosphere gradually peaked.


    Finally, Mama Du looked at the time and finally ascended the stage under everyone¡¯s gazes.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, lords, masters, young masters......"


    Mama Du wore a pink fresh Chinese peony in her hair, dressed in the fashion of an older, but still attractive woman. She faced the guests sitting on all sides and smiled. "Tonight is the night that our Heavenly Dream Tower will present everyone with our new youngdies. When we do so, I guarantee that they will be different from the past and will absolutely be of the highest quality in the world, a level that¡¯s difficult to imagine."


    She had barely finished speaking when a burst of hissing sounds immediately echoed.


    "If that turns out to not be the case, is Mama Du going to keep uspany, apany me for a drink?"


    "Mr. Huang, your servant is old and faded, how can I dare to disy my ugliness?" Mama Du smiled like a flower, totally ignoring having been teased and even waved the handkerchief in her hand before casting coquettish nces and continuing. "In a moment, everyone will experience for themselves these three youngdies. Then you¡¯ll know that this humble servant haven¡¯t lied to you."


    Upstairs, Luo Qing Luan was waiting for the good show to begin. As she looked at the crowd in every direction, her gaze identally focused and she unexpectedly saw a figure that she was familiar with.


    That full length navy blue robe, that jade fastened around his waist, that grave and stern man wearing the jade crest on his head, wasn¡¯t it Nn Ye?


    His expressionless face, the coldness permeating throughout his body, even though she was standing on the fourth floor, she was still able to feel it. Nn Ye alone upied one table. Simply no one dared to approach the area around him. The tables in his vicinity all moved to distance themselves from him.


    At this moment, Nn Ye was drinking wine with an expressionless face as if he didn¡¯t have the slightest bit of interest in the youngdies who were about to go onstage.


    Once she thought about what happenedst time, she became ufortable all over. Luo Qing Luan pointed at the ce that Nn Ye was sitting at and frowned. "Mr. Yu, this person......is he your friend?"


    The palm of her hand already secretly clenched tightly, if Nangong Yu really said that the two of them were very good friends, she pledged that she must modify their contract next time to raise her share of profits to at least fifty percent.


    "Are you referring to His Highness Prince of Chu?"


    Nangong Yu immediately denied it as his expression also became more proper. "In all likelihood, Brother Luo also know of his renown. A little courtesan house owner like me, how could I make climb to reach the magnificent prince? Last time, he came to Heavenly Dream Tower only because he heard that we newly stocked the most famous Green Flower Wine, so he came to sample it. Otherwise, do you think that he ordinarily wille to this kind of venue?"


    What he spoke was half true and half false, three parts false and seven parts truth. Even Luo Qing Luan was temporarily unable to tell how he hid the truth.


    Nodding her head, Luo Qing Luan was disinclined to take another look at Nn Ye and turned her attention toward the stage where the show was about to start.


    Right at this moment, the entire Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s candle lights were extinguished. Darkness immediately covered the scene.


    There were some guests who did not know what was going on and became startled. Just as they were going to call out, unexpectedly, a light shined on the stage. The originally red curtains suddenly became increasingly hazy due to the lights, creating an intensely mysterious feeling.


    With this scene, the majority of guests immediately realized that this was part of Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s act, and their eyes couldn¡¯t help but shine. Such a new and original, unique opening was truly the first time that they¡¯d seen it. In the past, when those courtesan houses released the new youngdies, which of them didn¡¯t just bring them out, dressed in new clothes with some new style of makeup or essories?


    Compared to the arrangements Heavenly Dream Tower had made presently, they were truly far inferior.


    Everyone suddenly was filled with curiosity, as they increasingly wanted to know what kind of outstanding beauty would appear following this.


    Screech.......


    The slight sound of machinery reverberated as they saw the tform in the middle of the stage separate into two parts, exposing a square hole of about a meter in length on each side. A young woman dressed in red was like an alluring spirit appearing in the dim of night as she slowly rose upward.


    Merely this opening caused all of everyone¡¯s gazes to the attracted, unable to take their eyes off as they stared at the the woman in red.


    In the twinkling of an eye, the lights flourished on the stage and the originally dark and hazy Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s lobby immediately became bright. During the time when everyone still had not regained their senses, the red curtains on the stage were already rolled up,pletely revealing the youngdy in red onstage.


    A burst of cheerful and lighthearted music simultaneously sounded while the woman in red was already dancing gracefully.


    Her movements were iparably bold and free, each posture sufficient to disy her perfect figure. Only now did everyone discover that the woman in red was wearing a long skirt on the lower half of her body and furthermore, this skirt seemed to be made of countless numbers of ribbons. Each and every movement caused her slender legs to be exposed. Long and wondrously captivating.


    Only the crucial areas on her upper body were covered. A string of red beads swayed on her snowy white skin, making her appear even more lovely and moving. Her graceful jade like arm whirled very quickly onstage, like a celestial nymph abruptly dropping out of the skies. Amidst the fieryness, a difficult to describe passion appeared.


    So enticing, so alluring!


    Merely a woman in red with a shapely figure caused the eyes of countless numbers of guests to nearly cross. They had never seen such a fiery, passionate dance before. There¡¯s no need to talk about how that woman¡¯s lovely and gorgeous facial features and that pair of passionate eyes looked at those men, such that each and every one of them were drooling while their eyes crossed.


    When she finally finished her dance, her body bent low over the middle of the floor. The tform immediately opened again and submerged her into it, causing her to disappear. Only then did everyone wake up from their dream and eximed in admiration again and again.


    "What an exquisite dance, what an alluring beauty......" The vice-minister of revenue, Yan Xushan, who previously was somewhat doubtful, was satisfied now. As he stroked his beard, he nodded.


    "Sigh, Beauty, why did Beauty run away. We still don¡¯t know your name, why did you leave?" Right away, someone shouted discontentedly, immediately causing even more people to echo him. Suddenly, the quiet lobby was caught up in a mor.


    Watching the passion fiercely bubbling up within the crowd downstairs, on the fourth floor, Nangong Yu was unable to suppress his excitement. "Good, good! Worthy Little Brother Luo¡¯s methods really are brilliant. I truly admire you now."


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "This is merely the opening act, just for the sake of mobilizing everyone¡¯s mood, that¡¯s all. The truly novel experience is yet to follow!"

    <h4></h4>


    Following that was the bidding for the woman in red. As long as their bid was the highest, then tonight, they would win thepany of this Miss Hongyu (Rainbow Jade). But, Mama Du emphasized, that it¡¯s only for conversation and drinks, singing a song, or ying instruments. These are all eptable. Spending the night? Impossible!


    "What? After paying money, she still won¡¯t spend the night? How can there be this kind of rule?" Immediately, someone shouted out in dissatisfaction.


    "This gentleman......"


    Mama Du¡¯splexion also darkened. "This is our Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s rule. The three youngdies tonight are all pure persons. We spent four to five years worth ofbor just to train them to this point. They sell their skills, not their bodies. If you¡¯re not willing, then just don¡¯t spend money."


    That person was just going to blow up, when unexpectedly, someone voiced by his side. "The beauty of a nation, with looks just like a celestial, how can she be defiled as you wish like somemon woman? A beauty is like a flower, she naturally should be admired from a distance and can not be yed with obscenely. Everyone, don¡¯t you think this is true?"


    Once she saw the person speaking, Mama Du became pleasantly surprised. "It¡¯s the respected Senior Teacher Wang. You can take pity on these daughters of our courtesan house, I thank Senior Teacher Wang¡¯s understanding on their behalf."


    This white haired and bearded elderly man was a famous schr in the current administration. He was even previously a royal teacher when His Majesty was still the crown prince. Since he already said these words, who would still dare to touch the youngdies at Heavenly Dream Tower?


    "Yes, yes, Senior Wang is correct."


    "Naturally, this is justified. We are not like those vulgar, shamelessmon soldiers." A group of schrs sitting in a circle revealed faces of even more disgust. They fell only slightly short of charging towards that person to spit on him.


    This incident passed very quickly. Everyone started to focus on the bid for Miss Hongyu, the first performer on stage.


    It need not be said, that since the person who was once His Majesty¡¯s respected teacher, Senior Wang, looked favorably upon her, no one dared to disrespectfully fight over her with him. He merely spent one hundred taels of silver and no one else at the scene bid higher.


    Having been pleasantly surprised by the first performance onstage, everyone looked towards the subsequent performance with even more expectation.


    The oldest son of themander in charge of five cities¡¯ troops, Sun Feng even more straightforwardly said. "Mama Du, have people turn off the lights without dy. Quickly call out the second youngdy!"


    Turning towards him with a smile and waving the silk fabric in her hand, Mama Du replied. "Everyone, please look. Next to appear is Miss Ruyan."


    The lobby immediately quieted down. Even a needle dropping could be heard. It¡¯s just that the lights were not extinguished like before. Everybody was unable to take their eyes away as they stared attentively at the center of the stage. Sure enough, they heard a mechanical sound.


    "She¡¯sing.....ing......" Someone already couldn¡¯t wait as his hand shook in excitement.


    A youngdy wearing a light blue muslin dress slowly ascended from the big hole on the stage. Her head tilted down slightly as her feathery eyshes trembled like a pitiful lovely flower. Wearing a very lightyer of makeup, her cheeks were tender and lovely. On her earlobes were amethyst drop earrings which swayed unceasingly, making her entire person look lively and moving. Her appearance immediately caused countless men to click their tongues and sigh with feeling.


    "Beautiful, indeed beautiful."


    "Really is a woman as beautiful as a dream, how can she be encountered ordinarily?"


    In front of her, a zither was ced. It was evident that this is for her to y. Everyone became even more impatient.


    And at this moment, at the fifth floor upstairs, Luo Qing Luan and Nangong Yu became very busy.


    "This is the moment. Start." Luo Qing Luan immediately gave the order.


    Nangong Yu¡¯s swept the surrounding areas and saw the ten plus people surrounding all of the outside corridors on the fifth floor. Each of them were holding a bowl in one hand, while the other hand was holding a long stalk of wheat. They were already prepared. He immediately said. "What are you guys nking out for? Hurry and blow!"


    "Yes, master."


    All of the servants immediately started to take the hollow wheat stalks, immersed them within the special liquid inside the numerous bowls, then extended over the railings to blow air towards the outside.


    Very quickly, each and every multi-colored bubble were blown out, swaying slightly, before each multi-colored bubble descended as light as feathers.


    As they fluttered about, at this point, there were tens of big and small bubbles which floated downwards. Nangong Yu¡¯s eyes shined as he watched. Even he had never imagined that these things which Luo Qing Luan fiddled with unexpectedly could have this kind of effect.


    Previously, they were running out of time, so he only watched one or two people blow bubbles. Moreover, they were standing before him. Naturally, he was unable to feel this kind of dreamlike scene where the bubbles covered the sky and fluttered about as they fell.


    He could almost imagine how promptly, exmation after exmation of admiration would sound from below.


    "Gasp. My God, quickly look!"


    As expected, when those bubbles floated downward and surrounded Miss Ruyan, everyone were stunned.


    Continually, each and every one of the bubbles gently floated in the air before they burst, descending, some even floated down on Miss Ruyan¡¯s hair, or perhaps, floated on her zither. Never having seen such a scene before, everybody watched to the point where their eyes stared wide open.


    "Surprisingly, there¡¯s such an arrangement, it really is......"


    Some of the schrs and wealthy young masters were even more excited. These fantasy like bubbles contrasted with the outstandingly beautiful, gorgeous and refined Miss Ruyan. Immersed in the sweet, sharp and clear sound of the zither, they were simply a perfect match.


    Nangong Yu was so excited that his face reddened, as he unceasingly waved his hand like a conductor. "Hurry, hurry, make more of them. The effect will be even better."


    As he was saying this, he looked at Luo Qing Luan, simply admiring her to the extreme. "Worthy Brother Luo, what in the world did you blend into the water that surprisingly could produce such splendid things."


    "What does this count as. Merely some stuff to serve as the background, that¡¯s all."

    <h4></h4>


    Actually, Luo Qing Luan was a bit dissatisfied with the result before her. If there were enough of those specialized bubble producing liquids from her previous life, the colored bubbles produced not only would be more colorful, there would also be more of them, such that the scene would be one where the entire sky would rain bubbles. Adding to that Miss Ruyan¡¯s absolutely superb zither music and outstanding appearance, the result would be even better.


    The scene before her......sigh, just passable.


    "s, I really, truly admire Worthy Brother Luo¡¯s mind." Nangong Yu sighed with sincere emotion.


    Very quickly, Miss Ruyan¡¯s performance ended. Finally, the capital¡¯s most wealthy and influential owner of the Blessed Treasures Commerical Firm, Li Daifu, spent one thousand eight hundred taels of silver to win the right to be her first and only guest for the rest of the night, drawing the envy and admiration of countless numbers of poor schrs.


    Nangong Yu recalled that when heunched a new youngdyst time, even though he proimed the event as loudly as today, ultimately, the three youngdies merely earned a little over three hundred taels. Furthermore, they did not garner much fame even up to today. They were far inferior to Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s current Queen of Flowers.


    However tonight, Nangong Yu felt strongly that Luo Qing Luan will very likely create a miracle for him.


    "Finally, I¡¯d like to remind Mr. Yu once again. These three youngdies from tonight must remain pure in body. Don¡¯t think about having them service guests in that way, understand?" Luo Qing Luan suddenly spoke.


    Once Nangong Yu thought about this, he immediately understood. "That¡¯s right. All men have this kind of mentality. Only the thing which they can not obtain remains to be the best. I only need to continue to have them sell their skills, but not their bodies. On the contrary, this will lead the hearts of those men to itch all the more."


    Indeed, among everyone at Heavenly Dream Tower, Miss Qing was the most popr. Even if they had to spend ten times the amount they would spend on ordinary girls, those wealthy people still enjoyed herpany without getting tired of it. So much so that for the sake of meeting her, they didn¡¯t hesitate to grandly throw out one thousand taels.


    "It¡¯s fine. The past is in the past. Thest to appear, Miss Shimeng (Wait Upon a Dream), is the one who will genuinely be able to send the reputation of your Heavenly Dream Tower abuzz. Mr. Yu, there can¡¯t be any slip-up here." Luo Qing Luan reminded him.


    No matter if it¡¯s Ruyan, or if it¡¯s Hongyu, as far as those methods of hers were concerned, they were merely ways to get the ball rolling, that¡¯s all. Naturally, the best was saved forst. Moreover, because of this, she spent tremendous efforts, but whether everything will go smoothly or not will depend on whates next.


    "Don¡¯t worry, I already had people try it. There absolutely won¡¯t be a problem, but Brother Luo....."


    Nangong Yu creased his eyebrows and asked inquisitively. "You had me go buy so much ice. When all is said and done, what result can they create?"


    Today had been especially hot. The price of ice was as expensive as oil. If he didn¡¯t think that they would be repaid with interest, how would he be willing to spend over a hundred taels of silver to buy so much ice?


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "This effect is one that is absolutely necessary. Just wait and see."


    Below them, in Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s big hall, the moment that people looked forward to the most had arrived.


    They saw the red curtains around them disappear, yet that big hole in the middle of the stage did not open for a long time. Everyone waited for awhile and actually became impatient. They could no longer hold it in and whispered one after another.


    "Mama Du, why is this Miss Shimeng......"


    They had not finished speaking when they only heard the melodious sound of the flute arrive, seemingly reverberating in midair. There was a kind of fleeting and distant feeling. Everyone immediately lifted their heads to look, but they saw a white shadow sweep past them in the air. Long white muslin, just like a goddess from the moon, and exceedingly wondrous silhouette flew over.


    Their eyes nearly crossed from watching. None of the people present had ever seen such a scene. She surprisingly flew. Could she really be a goddess who descended upon the world?


    The white figure continually circled in the air above the main hall, her clothes fluttering, exquisite and serene, like an orchid growing in a deep ravine, elegant, yet also permeating an intense mysterious and wondrous sensation.


    Everyone were unable to take their eyes off of her as they stared. Not a single voice could be heard onsite.


    Finally, she slowly descended. Only now did everyone discover that there was a ck rope which suspended her, but at this point, no one bothered to care.


    Shimeng was clothed all in white as she stood on the stage. Everyone discovered at this moment that she was surprisingly covered by a veil.


    At this moment, all of the lights had already been extinguished. Only a single light remained above her head, the shroud of light making her even more mysterious.


    Those who had been wanting to clearly see her facial features couldn¡¯t help but be increasingly curious. Itching to see clearly, they wished to be able to charge upstage and reveal


    her real face.


    "Beautiful, indeed beautiful......" The Vice-Minister of Revenue, Yan Xushan, praised in admiration, shaking his head as he continued. "Such a goddess like woman, so fortunate to see her tonight, truly is a rare sight." The few people beside him immediately voiced their own admiration following his, evidently also hooked by Shimeng who had appeared in such a way.


    The flute music had not stopped. As if mournful, the goddess in white slowly sat down. She just directly sat down on the stage. Everyone wanted to listen attentively to her flute music. Unexpectedly......


    A burst of white colored vapors rose upward, seemingly enveloping and shrouding her in mist. At this moment, the entire stage started to be filled with fog.


    The silhouette of the woman in white concealed by the fog all around her appeared increasingly hazy, simr to an angel in heaven thoroughly permeating an intense feeling of mysteriousness.


    At the same time, peal after peal of bird calls sounded, flowing through like running water. The scene became increasingly quiet. Everyone felt an indescribable feeling, as if they were ced in heaven, surrounded by countless numbers of heavenly birds while admiring the celestial¡¯s exquisite graceful bearing.


    Not a single person made a sound. Everyone was stupefied by this scene. Burst after burst of slight chilling at them made the entire main hall within Heavenly Dream Tower cooler and more refreshing. Everyone stupidly stared at thedy in white on top of the stage, as if they¡¯d forgotten where they were standing.


    "Quickly look. Brother Luo, quickly look. I can¡¯t believe those ice chunks......sigh, my horizons truly have been expanded."


    Only Nangong Yu, who was standing at the highest ce could barely figure out what¡¯s happening. However, he also couldn¡¯t believe that the ice cubes which he ordinarily regarded as nothing special unexpectedly could bring about this kind of effect.


    Each of those fine strand of mist made the scene be a fairnd. Fengming (Cry of the Phoenix), whose appearance was not outstanding at all, after her name was changed to Shimeng (Wait Upon a Dream), and wearing a veil to conceal her face, she truly appeared like a celestial being.


    Added to that, two expert ventriloquists that Luo Qing Luan had him urgently find, such that one effect was added to another, directly creating an exceptionally splendid goddess for his Heavenly Dream Tower.


    Very likely,e tomorrow, his Heavenly Dream Tower......no, no need to wait until tomorrow. He reckoned that tonight, Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s presentations would spread and bring about a sensation in the capital.

    Chapter 30a: Ruthlessly Retaliate Against Him


    <h4></h4>


    "How is it, Mr. Yu. I put forth all of my effort on behalf of your Heavenly Dream Tower. I have not disappointed you, have I?" Luo Qing Luan smiled as she spoke. Her mood could be said to be not bad.


    She used ice chunks during an extremely hot day so that the difference in temperature released vapors which condensed into tiny droplets of white mist. This method couldn¡¯t be any simpler viewed through her previous life. It¡¯s just a pity that she was unable to produce an even more splendid spectacle, just like a housewife who could not cook without proper ingredients.


    If she could have dry ice, how wonderful it would be. The effect created by the mist would have been even better. She guaranteed that the entire Heavenly Dream Tower would turn into a paradise. Those who wanted toe in could forget abouting without paying an entrance fee of ten taels of silver.


    It¡¯s too bad, what a pity!


    But she had no way of manufacturing something like dry ice. Therefore, she could only use ice chunks to barely serve as a recement.


    But as far as these people were concerned, a little bit of faint fog was already enough to make them pleasantly surprised. Added to that some bird sounds and running water sounds and so forth, nothing more than adding flowers to brocade, and that made the scene even more magical.


    This was the trick to packaging!


    In the main hall, after Shimeng finished her performance and disappeared into the big hole, Mama Du¡¯s voice disturbed the ear like rolls of thunder simply deafening everyone¡¯s ears.


    But she was not the least bit impatient. On the contrary, she was simrly blushing from excitement. She brandished the silk fabric in her hand intending to calm down everyone a bit, but she barely opened her mouth before someone shouted loudly. "Mama Du, I¡¯ll put forth two thousand taels. I want to be the first to see Miss Shimeng."


    "Kiss my ass! How can you meet with goddess Shimeng for just two thousand taels?"


    His soul already thoroughly hooked by Shimeng, the Fu family¡¯s young master stood up and shouted loudly. "I¡¯ll pay three thousand taels......"


    He did not finish speaking when he was cut off by an even more ostentatious merchant. "I will pay five thousand taels. I only seek to meet goddess Shimeng."


    "En~~five thousand taels and you want to look at a goddess¡¯ beautiful face? That¡¯s rather too cheap." This voice made Luo Qing Luan, who had been spectating, pay attention. It surprisingly was the fifth prince Nangong Chen!


    He was sitting upright on a banquet seat, dressed in magnificent full length silver grey brocade. The corners of his mouth were curved into a faintly smiling expression. His whole body looked romantic and elegant. He swirled the wine cup in his hand and said arrogantly. "This prince will pay ten thousand taels!"


    "Mama Du, on thousand taels of silver. Is it possible to let this prince meet with goddess Shimeng?" His voice rose up the stage, an appearance of not giving up if she would not agree and he even nced at everyone,pletely not cing anyone present in his eyes.


    Once Luo Qing Luan saw this, she only felt that it wasughable.


    If her older sister were to see Nangong Chen visiting a courtesan house, she would probably be angry enough to die?


    In not many more days, she will be getting married, yet her future husband unexpectedly did not take this matter to heart in the slightest and even ran over here to visit a courtesan house. Moreover, he¡¯s paying the sky high price of ten thousand taels of silver for a courtesan. This simply was......


    Fortunately, she schemed to cancel her and Nangong Chen¡¯s engagement. Otherwise, this bad luck would be hers!


    Laughing lightly, Luo Qing Luan said. "Mr. Yu, do you know this Fifth Prince well?"


    Once Nangong Yu heard this, he immediately blushed with shame.


    Actually, he¡¯s Nangong Chen¡¯s older brother. Even if they didn¡¯t share the same mother, in the end, they were still brothers. As a stately prince, Nangong Chen surprisingly visited a courtesan house openly and even appeared proud of himself. He truly felt embarrassed.


    "Uh......" After thinking about it, he finally replied to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s question. "Nangong Chen is the fifth prince after all. Even if I don¡¯t really know him, I¡¯ve heard some things."


    Clearly, Luo Qing Luan only wanted to know about the power of Nangong Chen¡¯s backers, but Nangong Yu thought that it was only because she wanted to inquire about whether Nangong Chen had enough money and how much benefit he could bring to Heavenly Dream Tower. Without doubting him at all, she continued. "I heard that this fifth prince will be marrying the Luo family¡¯s oldest daughter soon, but only as a concubine."


    "Ordinarily, Fifth Prince is not valued much by His Majesty. Otherwise, how can he already be more than twenty years old and still have not received an official title. He¡¯s merely a prince by birth, but Nangong Chen apparently also doesn¡¯t care much about this, as he¡¯s always been idling away. He likes lingering around ces with fireworks, and all kinds of beautiful women. He¡¯s actually a big client of my Heavenly Dream Tower."


    Surprisingly......


    Luo Qing Luan gained insight into Nangong Chen¡¯s other face and could not help but be curious. "Is he so wealthy?"


    "I heard that Nangong Chen¡¯s mother¡¯s family is quite influential and is even responsible for casting official silver currency. Therefore, it¡¯s enough to supply Nangong Chen with an unlimited degree of expenses. His Majesty seems to pay very little attention to these things. As long as his offsprings don¡¯t get involved in power struggles, he is also disinclined to care."


    "So it¡¯s like that." Luo Qing Luan nodded.


    Not only was this Nangong Chen shameless and a skirt chaser, he even visited courtesan houses? Seems he¡¯s made of the same stuff as Nn Ye. No wonder the two of them visited the general¡¯s mansion together at that time!


    Suddenly, Nn Ye¡¯s name shed through her mind. Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but took a nce downstairs, but the seat that Nn Ye was previously sitting at was unexpectedly empty. Don¡¯t know when he had left.


    He surprisingly left?


    Didn¡¯t he also like to visit courtesan houses, yet he was surprisingly not interested in Shimeng, who was like a goddess? Luo Qing Luan was suddenly baffled.


    Soon, there was no longer any suspense downstairs. Even the highest official like the vice-minister of revenue, Yan Xushan, no longerpeted with Nangong Chen, giving him the opportunity to be the first to see Shimeng.


    Tonight, the lights at Heavenly Dream Tower were splendid, just like a night that won¡¯t sleep, but Luo Qing Luan was no longer interested and nned to depart.


    She just turned around when her pupils constricted. Unexpectedly, the Nn Ye that she was looking for, but could not find, was standing not very far away from her.


    This bastard surprisingly came up here?


    What did he want?

    Chapter 30b: Ruthlessly Retaliate Against Him


    <h4></h4>


    Once she recalled how she was forcibly kissedst time, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mood turned sour. She coldly said. "Mr. Yu, I have things to do, so I won¡¯t be staying. Goodbye."


    "What are you panicking for?" Nn Ye approached step by step as he smiled coldly. "You see this prince and want to hide. Is it because you have a guilty conscience?"


    Yeah, guilty conscience in his big head!


    Luo Qing Luan wished that she could give him a piece of her mind, but she already knew that she wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with Nn Ye easily, so she could only endure and suppress her anger as she red at him fiercely. "None of your goddamn business. Get out of the way, I¡¯m leaving! A good dog should not block the road!"


    "You dare to insult this prince?"


    Nn Ye spoke gloomily as was going to advance, but then stopped to cast a nce at Nangong Yu.


    How could thetter not know his intent. Immediately sweating cold sweat, he cupped his hands towards Luo Qing Luan, then quickly descended the stairs.


    "Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu, you......"


    Seeing Nangong Yu disappearing before her eyes like a mouse that saw a cat, Luo Qing Luan again fiercely red at Nn Ye. This man sent away those around him. What did he want to do, was it possible he wanted to bully her again?


    Walking with hands behind him, Nn Ye¡¯s face was filled with a cold smile, thin lips spitting out a few words. "Was everything tonight something that you fiddled with?"


    Even though herplexion looked terrible, he couldn¡¯t help but admit that thisss¡¯ skill at packaging was very original and not something that an ordinary person was incapable of producing. When he first saw the shows, he also felt that it was breathtaking for a moment. However, he had always been uninterested in women. Otherwise, maybe he would¡¯ve truly been like other people and would¡¯ve been hooked.


    The other person¡¯s appearance was quite impressive, but Luo Qing Luan still did not return his smile as she replied emotionlessly. "What, it entered your discerning eye?"


    Just finished saying that, she suddenly also smiled. "Eh? Doesn¡¯t the Prince of Chu like to visit courtesan houses. Why didn¡¯t you bid on Miss Shimeng just now? Is it possible that......you don¡¯t have that much money?"


    "Sharp teeth, sharp mouth. Is this the daughter that Luo Cheng taught?" Nn Ye taunted, then his body suddenly moved.


    His speed was too fast, almost like a phantom. Even though Luo Qing Luan had been on her guard this entire time, she still was unable to guard against him, just like before. In a blink, Nn Ye already arrived in front of her. His bitingly cold breath assaulted her senses, making her shiver from head to toe, suddenly realizing the danger.


    She was going to take steps back, but then realized that she was touching the railing outside. Luo Qing Luan grumbled inwardly.


    Just now, she was so preupied with watching the situation downstairs, how could she have anticipated that Nn Ye would appear here? And now, she¡¯s been forced back to the point that she could no longer take any more steps backwards. She couldn¡¯t jump over the railing just for the sake of avoiding him, right?


    But she did not have light foot skills!


    Besides, hiding was not her style. If Nn Ye truly conspired to misbehave against her, then she certainly wouldn¡¯t allow him to take advantage of her likest time.


    "What do you want to do?" Luo Qing Luan disyed a timid appearance as she frowned. "If you dare to do something to me, I, I will tell my father for sure, and have him report you to His Majesty."


    "Report me?"


    Nn Ye couldn¡¯t help but find this to be ridiculous, his face still as cold and severe as before. "What do you want to report about me? Report that I kissed youst time, tell His Majesty that the unmarried daughter from the general¡¯s mansion had been disrespected by me, right?"


    It¡¯s not that he hadn¡¯t discovered the craftiness in this Second Miss Luo¡¯s eyes. Someone as daring as her, who even dared to push her own sister into the water, who even dared to hit himst time, how could she be frightened silly by just a few words from him?


    More than likely, she¡¯sing up with some devilish ideas again.


    However, Nn Ye wasn¡¯t anxious at all. After all, Luo Qing Luan was only a girl. Was it even possible for her to do something to him?


    "Don¡¯t youe over here......don¡¯te over here......" Luo Qing Luan grabbed the railing behind her with both hands, sporting a panicky appearance of wanting to hide, yet finding nowhere she could jump to, her eyes brimming with fear.


    "Stop pretending, Second Miss Luo, it¡¯ll be boring if you keep pretending." Nn Ye closed in on her step by step.


    No matter whether she was really afraid, or pretending to be afraid, he discovered that he quite liked this appearance of hers. She clearly was daring enough to charge through the heavens, yet she insisted on pretending in front of him, and even pretended in this exaggerated way. Didn¡¯t she know that she was overdoing it?


    Luo Qing Luan seemingly didn¡¯t hear him all. Not only did she not blush, instead she looked even more fearful, trembling from head to toe, just like she was facing an approaching hungry wolf. She quickly covered her face, like she was afraid to look.


    "Nn Ye, don¡¯t youe over here......if you continue toe, then I¡¯ll, then I¡¯ll......"


    "You will what?" Nn Ye simply could no longer contain himself any longer and was about tough out loud.


    This girl truly made for a good diversion. Just watching her performance alone was enough to relieve all of the fatigue he felt for the entire day. If he had time in the future, he might as well go look for her......


    As this intention appeared in his mind, Nn Yeughed lightly, unable to help himself from lifting her chin.


    His hand then slid to feel the tender and soft sensation. Her skin was indeed just likest time, bringing him a......


    Suddenly, he only saw Luo Qing Luan raise her hand and shed it in front of his face. He was going to grab her fine little hand, when unexpectedly, a strange feeling spread and his mind immediately grew faint. His body became weak all over, surprisingly no longer stable on his feet. With a plop, Nn Ye fell to the ground.


    "p p p......"


    The sound of sharp and clear apuse sounded. How would Luo Qing Luan still look fearful and timid like she did a moment ago?


    Her face disyed acent smiling expression, as brilliant as the sunshine in summer. She looked disdainfully at Nn Ye lying on the floor before speaking. "I already told you not toe over. You stubbornly won¡¯t listen. Your Highness Prince of Chu, the feeling of weakness from head to toe is not bad, right?"


    "Littless, indeed, you¡¯re cunning indeed......"


    What made Luo Qing Luan shocked was that Nn Ye actually did not faint right away and as before, his eyes were opened wide watching her.


    Startled, Luo Qing Luan then saw that his entire bodycked strength and simply was no longer able to move, and she immediately rxed. Very likely, this man¡¯s body was naturally resistant to drugs. Otherwise, how could he still resist her ckout powder? Anger rising in her heart, she lifted a foot to step on him and directly stepped on Nn Ye¡¯s leg. "So what if I¡¯m cunning? Nn Ye, I¡¯m going to sort you out today!"


    "Stomp you to death! Stomp you to death! Stomp you to death......"

 Chapter 31 part1

    Chapter 31a: Luo Qing Shuang Wed


    <h4></h4>


    Getting stepped on by her foot with all of her effort, Nn Ye could feel that thisss most likely really wanted to step on him to break his leg.


    It¡¯s just too bad......


    With her little bit of strength, it was like getting scratched by a cat and merely caused him to feel a little pain, that¡¯s all. Her efforts wasn¡¯t of any use. However, the tail of his robe was already dirtied from getting stepped on by thisss. Each and every footprint appeared on its surface. Adding to that the fact that he currently was unable to move, he did indeed cut a sorry figure, one seldom seen in his life.


    "Nn Ye, I¡¯m telling you, other people are afraid of you, but I am not. "Luo Qing Luan was seething and fuming as she used all of her strength to step on him. But after she stomped ten or twelve times, she discovered that it only made his clothes dirty while there wasn¡¯t the slightest bit of an expression of pain appearing on his face.


    Sure enough, it¡¯s again because her strength was weak.


    Luo Qing Luan sighed with sorrow in her heart, quite dissatisfied as she stopped.


    "What, not continuing?" Nn Ye said indifferently.


    He was lying down on the floor without the slightest difort disyed on his face, as if he was sleeping in his own bed. An expression of indolence, his gaze also unconsciously softened.


    "You stinky man, sure enough, your skin is rough and your meat thick. I don¡¯t like wasting my strength on you."


    Snorting at him, Luo Qing Luan was still unreconciled.


    Last time, he took advantage of her. This was a rare opportunity for her to retaliate against him, yet she merely dirtied his clothes? Wouldn¡¯t that be too easy on him. Sizing up Nn Ye, Luo Qing Luan was immediately able to sense that his hands were moving a little. Immediately, she trembled inside.


    This man was so frightening. Her ckout Powder¡¯s effect was fading quickly.


    She needed to hurry!


    Without thinking about it, Luo Qing Luan quickly squat by his body and felt around Nn Ye¡¯s chest without hesitation.


    "Littless, you¡¯re surprisingly groping this prince? Want a man now?" Nn Ye didn¡¯t care about her actions at all and even teased her instead.


    That soft little hand touching his body felt a bit strange. Not only was there none of the disgust that those other pretentious women brought to him, on the contrary, it even generated some urges in him.


    Narrowing his eyes, he started to use a different kind of gaze to size her up.


    A face as big as his palm, skin soft, smooth, and fragile. Her disguise as a man could be considered skilled. Even though she was delicate and pretty, it was not easy for others to detect that she was female. If it wasn¡¯t for his deep impression of her, he also wouldn¡¯t have so easily identified her.


    Their distance was so close that Nn Ye was even able to smell the scent from her body.


    It wasn¡¯t the smell of tacky cosmetics and also not the smell of flowers, instead......there was a faint smell of undistinguishable medicinal herbs, quite special.


    "Yo, there¡¯s still a bit of money."


    Luo Qing Luan looked over all of the things she was able to steal from Nn Ye¡¯s body and discovered that surprisingly, there was more than one thousand taels of silver. However, she very quickly curled her lips to jeer at him. "A grand prince, yet only carried this much money on him. Aren¡¯t you embarrassed?"


    If he brought more money, wouldn¡¯t he be giving her more advantages?


    Nn Ye heard this and didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. This girl......did she think that she was a bandit robbing someone? She even dared to snatch the money on his body?


    "Eh? What¡¯s this?"


    She looked at the little tile in her hand, only half the size of her palm, sculpted from the highest quality white jade.


    Some cloud veined patterns were carved on the surface as well as a goshawk spreading its wings to fly. With one look, it could be seen that this was made by a master craftsman.


    If this thing were to be pawned, it should be worth some money, right?


    Laughing lightly as she stood up, Luo Qing Luan watched as the color on Nn Ye¡¯s face suddenly changed a bit. She understood even more that this thing was important to him and smiled as she swayed. "I will temporarily safekeep this thing for you. If you want it, then bring ten thousand taels of silver to ransom it. Otherwise, after one month, you can only slowly look for it among the pawn shops."


    After she spoke, she did not wait for Nn Ye to reply and quickly ran away.


    In merely a bit more time, Nn Ye already recovered and stood up. On his face, there was no longer the least bit of rxation that he disyed earlier.


    He really was too careless earlier. Otherwise, how would he have lost the jade token?


    Even though Luo Qing Luan was only a girl, he still should not have been careless. If this kind of situation were to ur a second time, he¡¯s afraid it would lead to a great disaster. That jade token was the suprememand token of the Dark Night Hall, seeing the jade token was like seeing him. If it was obtained by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be simply too horrible to contemte.


    Recalling the situation just now, Luo Qing Luan merely moved her hand, yet he becamepletely powerless. What in the world was that thing?


    Such a formidable drug. It seemed there were indeed quite a few secrets on this girl¡¯s body!


    "Oh, so it¡¯s Ziqing. You¡¯re still here. I saw Brother Luo leave and even thought that you......" Right at this moment, Nangong Yu came upstairs. He had not finished speaking when he suddenly saw Nn Ye dirtied all over. Apparently, he¡¯d been stepped on quite a few times by someone.


    One of the clearest footprints was seen stamped on his outer thigh, very conspicuously.


    Nangong Yu immediately sucked in a breath of air. "Ziqing, how did you get......"


    "Shut up!" A voice as severe and cold as ice sounded. Nn Ye¡¯s face was like a block of wood while a cold ray of light shot from his eyes, immediately making Nangong Yu keep quiet out of fear, not daring to ask further.


    Staring nkly as Nn Ye left, Nangong Yu heart was exceedingly curious, as if a cat was scratching him.


    Who had the nerve to dare step on Nn Ye, this revered titled prince?


    ......


    Presently, the most lively and fiery news within the capital was undoubtedly the three newdies who debuted at Heavenly Dream Tower.


    No matter if it was Hongyu, or Shimeng, the three of them almost thoroughly reced the previous ¡¯Queen of Flowers¡¯, Shuiyun¡¯s, position, and directly became Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s current red cards. Every day, an endless stream of people came, eager to deliver money and request a meeting with them, yet without a single exception, they were declined.


    Luo Qing Luan already created a big opportunity for Heavenly Dream Tower, how could Nangong Yu not grasp this chance?

 Chapter 31 part2

    Chapter 31b: Luo Qing Shuang Wed


    <h4></h4>


    Nangong Yu had Mama Du announce that on the first and fifteenth of each month, the three youngdies will be able to receive guests, but they will only meet three people at most. As for during the other times, it will depend on whether the youngdies¡¯ mood was good or not.


    Suspending people¡¯s appetite, in this way their worth would be maintained continuously.


    In order to express his thanks towards Luo Qing Luan, Nangong Yu quickly delivered to her the forty percent share of profits that she deserved. Even though it hasn¡¯t been one month, Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s business was already so fiery. He was absolutely not worried that there would be a loss.


    When Luo Qing Luan personally went to withdraw the twenty five thousand taels of silver that Nangong Yu deposited for her, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The courtesan house¡¯s business was truly a money making one.


    In a short while, she made close to thirty thousand taels of silver. Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t linger at all and immediately visited the best pharmacy in the city to buy many precious hundred year old mountain ginseng, also fire reishi mushroom, as well as every kind of rare medicinal ingredient.


    Last time, she refined poison to disable a person, but did not refine any antidotes.


    Moreover, she also wanted to always have certain medicinal ingredients on hand, so as to avoid having to look for them when they¡¯re needed urgently.


    Seeing how nearly half of the money she just had on hand was already spent away, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, it¡¯s easy to spend money, but difficult to make it. She still had not done anything, yet over ten thou


    sand taels of silver was already gone.


    As before, she ced the remaining banknotes in the secretpartment at the head of her bed. Luo Qing Luan then got up to see Dai Yuee in.


    "My Lady, the side madam will be sending the eldestdy away very soon."


    Unconsciously, half of a month had already passed. Today was the day that her older sister, Luo Qing Shuang was to be married.


    It¡¯s just too bad. Because of the disturbance caused by the erotic illustrated book, the eldest daughter from the grand General¡¯s Mansion was bestowed by His Majesty to Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen as a minor concubine. Moreover, they also could not recklessly make arrangements. It was easy to know how depressed Luo Qing Shuang must be feeling at this moment.


    "Oh? This is the time?"


    Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but smile. "Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go to take a look."


    Following the limestone pathway, they arrived at the courtyard where the side madam, Wang Xue Ru, and Luo Qing Shuang resided at. They had yet to enter, when from a distance, they heard the sound of weeping. And around the courtyard, only some red silk were hung, barely enough to be festive. As for the other ces, they didn¡¯t look the least bit lively like a wedding would be.


    "Mother......daughter don¡¯t want to get married anymore......"


    Don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s because she felt wronged when she thought about getting married in this way, or because Luo Qing Shuang heard something, but she cried to the point she seemed to be made of tears as she threw herself into Wang Xue Ru¡¯s bosom.


    Luo Cheng uncharacteristically did not scold her. Instead, his expression was cloudy and steady and also appeared very gloomy. Some of the servants didn¡¯t even dare to approach. Each and every one of them hid in the distance and didn¡¯t dare toe forward for fear of touching upon their master¡¯s bad luck.


    Having guessed some things, Luo Qing Luan pretended that she didn¡¯t know anything as she approached them and lightly said, "Father, today is Elder Sister¡¯s big day. Even though we can¡¯t make an ostentatious disy, we should still be happy. Why is Elder Sister crying instead?"


    "It¡¯s nothing. All girls are like this when they¡¯re getting married." Luo Cheng wasn¡¯t in a good mood as he spoke.


    How would it be proper for him to tell his two daughters that a few days before he was to wed his daughter, Nangong Chen spent ten thousand taels of silver just to win the favor of a courtesan?


    When this news spread to his ears, he was furious without end. Luo Qing Shuang was even more directly aggrieved and cried loudly.


    But what else could she do?


    His Majesty personally made a verbal decree. Was it even possible to renege on this marriage?


    The more he listened to this weeping, the more he felt agitated. Luo Cheng waved his hand and spoke heavily. "That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t keep weeping. If Fifth Prince were to hear of this, I¡¯m afraid your future days will be even more miserable."


    "Master, our Qing Shuang still hasn¡¯t been wed, yet Fifth Prince has already done this. If Heavenly Dream Tower won¡¯t release him, will Fifth Prince n to bring a courtesan home? Won¡¯t this humiliate our General¡¯s Mansion?"


    Wang Xue Ru was distressed and unreconciled again. Qing Shuang is her precious daughter. She¡¯s already been wronged being sent over there as a minor concubine. Only now did she know that Nangong Chen actually also liked to visit courtesan houses?


    "Father, how can Fifth Prince do that......you have to stand up for your daughter¡¯s sake." Luo Qing Shuang wept to the point her eyes were swollen.


    Originally, she cherished the person she was going to marry. Those sweet words seemed as if they still lingered by her ears. But in a sh, he actually already liked someone else. Luo Qing Shuang simply couldn¡¯t stop herself. Tears falling down like a broken string of pearl.


    "That¡¯s enough!"


    With an angry shout, Luo Cheng¡¯s gloomy face shouted. "That person was chosen by you. The one who originally wanted to marry Nangong Chen was also you. Now you¡¯re regretting it? Hurry and shut up for be. Obediently marry over there, or else if His Majesty finds out, our entire General¡¯s Mansion is going to be out of luck."


    "Master, please speak a few words less." Wang Xue Ru promptly responded.


    "You hurry and prepare her well. Don¡¯t miss the auspicious time!" After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he left with a dark face.


    "Master! Master......" Seeing how Luo Cheng didn¡¯t respond when she called, Wang Xue Ru also gave up. Once she turned, her gaze fell upon Luo Qing Luan standing at a not so distant ce.


    Not wanting to pay any attention to her, Wang Xue Ru quickly wiped her daughter¡¯s tears and deliberately said loudly. "Good daughter, don¡¯t dry. You¡¯re so beautiful. Once you¡¯re married off, Fifth Prince will like you for sure. Hasn¡¯t he always been good to you? As long as you treat him well, and obtain his heart, you can have him promote you to the position of a side consort, or maybe even a consort is not impossible."


    "In any case, you¡¯re still betterpared to a certain person whose engagement had been broken and won¡¯t be able to marry in the future."


    Apparently having epted Wang Xue Ru¡¯s words, Luo Qing Shuang nodded and held in her hate as she looked at Luo Qing Luan. "Mother, I will be a genuine Fifth Prince Consort for sure!"


    She walked to face Luo Qing Luan and spoke one word at a time. "Younger Sister, you just wait and see."


    Facing Luo Qing Shuang not avoiding provocation at all, Luo Qing Luan just smiled faintly. "Is that right. Then I¡¯ll congratte Elder Sister beforehand for having your wishe true."

 Chapter 32 part1

    Chapter 32A: A Lord Turned Up Uninvited


    There was no news of Luo Qing Shuang marrying off into Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. There simply wasn¡¯t the slightest bit of a stir.


    Not mentioning that there were no officials or anyone of note who came to congratte her, even the Fifth Prince¡¯s mansion was calm and quiet, as if not a thing happened.


    The general¡¯s mansion also continued on as before, short one eldest daughter, yet wasn¡¯t the least different. Only the side madam, Wang Xue Ru, who besides heaving deep sighs all day and being worried about her daughter, she didn¡¯t even have the slightest urge anymore to find trouble with Luo Qing Luan.


    This was perfect. Luo Qing Luan happily idled away. Besides Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chening back together to visit her maiden family on the third day, when she went to look outside, sheter didn¡¯t appear in public at all.


    "My Lady, from what I can see, the eldestdy seems to be doing well at Fifth Prince¡¯s mansion." Dai Yue was somewhat puzzled. On the day she got married, Luo Qing Shuang wept endlessly then she was covered by a veil. Dai Yue watched the small pnquin enter a side door at the Fifth Prince¡¯s mansion, but didn¡¯t expect that on the day Luo Qing Shuang returned to her maiden home, she and Fifth Prince would appear so intimate, as if the two of them got along very well.


    Luo Qing Luan picked up a silver needle and practiced acupuncture directly on a piece of pork.


    She did not need to be precise, therefore, she merely used a piece of pork. As long as she trained her fingers to be nimble, she would regain her previous level of skill.


    During these few days, she also no longer visited Heavenly Dream Tower and only stayed at home to practice acupuncture techniques. This allowed her to settle down and focus. She must quickly grasp these techniques.


    "Are you talking about Elder Sister?"


    Hearing what Dai Yue said, Luo Qing Luan answered levelly. "Don¡¯t you know that she¡¯s quite clever? As long as she fawned on him a bit, be a bit gentler, used a few tricks, how can Nangong Chen, that shameless skirt chaser, not like her?"


    Hearing this, Dai Yue covered her mouth and smiled. "My Lady, that¡¯s actually Fifth Prince. You surprisingly say that he......say that he is a shameless person."


    "Can it be that I¡¯m mistaken?"


    Luo Qing Luan recalled how when they returned to the bride¡¯s parental home, and Nangong Chen finally saw her changed appearance, his pair of eyes nearly crossed. They seemed like glue as they stuck to her body. If Luo Qing Shuang hadn¡¯t pinched him, very likely his soul would¡¯ve been lost at the time!


    "Isn¡¯t it because My Lady is so beautiful. Don¡¯t mention Fifth Prince, even I feel that you are much prettier than the eldestdy. If My Lady wasn¡¯t tricked previously into dressing so gaudily before, maybe the position of Western Chu¡¯s most outstanding beauty would have belonged to you."


    Dai Yue felt very sorry about that.


    After practicing for awhile, and she felt that her fingers had be much more nimble, Luo Qing Luan finally put away her needles. She shook her head and smiled. "You. Stop thinking about those useless things. Do you think that having such reputation is a good thing?"


    She didn¡¯t want to think about anything and just hope that she would remain nameless forever, hiding in some secret ce getting rich.


    Even if she ran into an opponent, she¡¯d just pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. That¡¯s what she liked to do the most. Being famous and what not, just forget it.


    "That¡¯s right, My Lady, I nearly forgot to tell you." Dai Yue suddenly spoke. "Nanny Song returned. Do you want to meet her?"


    Nanny Song?


    Suddenly mentioning this name. Even though Luo Qing Luan felt that it was somewhat unfamiliar. The appearance of a benevolent olddy immediately shed through her mind. Only then did see realize that Nanny Song was actually her former self¡¯s wet nurse. In the past, she also served her mother. Recently, something happened to her family, so she especially beseeched Luo Cheng to arrange for a one month leave of absence before returning.


    Nanny Song had always been very good to her. It¡¯s just that she had not been at the residence and Luo Qing Luan had been so busy recently that she nearly forgot about this matter.


    "En, have Nanny Songe for a visit. I also have things to say to her."


    Dai Yue left. After a while, an elderlydy dressed in blue coarse cloth entered.


    Perhaps it¡¯s because she hadn¡¯t seen her for many days, but once she saw Luo Qing Luan, she couldn¡¯t help but say, "My Lady, I¡¯ve returned. I¡¯ve been gone for so many days, have you been well? Has the side madam bullied you again?"


    "No. Wet nurse, don¡¯t you worry." Luo Qing Luan stepped forward and held her hands to pull her to sit down together.


    "My Lady, let me have a look at you. Have you lost weight?"


    Appearing both distressed and doting, Nanny Song shook both hands as she held Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hands. After she looked at her up and down and saw that herplexion was truly much better, only then did Nanny Song rxed.


    "Wet nurse returned to your hometown for such a long time, was it because something big happened? Do you still need money?"


    Without waiting for her to answer, Luo Qing Luan already had Dai Yue take out ten taels of silver to give her. "Wet Nurse, you take this bit of money......"


    "That¡¯s not eptable, My Lady, that¡¯s so much money. It¡¯s better for you to save it for your own use." Nanny Song was both moved and gratified.


    Ever since their Madam passed away, the youngdy was personally raised by her, so she had observed everything in regards to just how much bitterness their youngdy had suffered during these fifteen years. Luo Cheng was angry that their mistress caused the madam to die when she was born, as a result, he did not like her, but how could the Master have known......


    The secret in her mind had already been hidden over ten plus years. Seeing that Luo Qing Luan had recovered her true appearance and be more and more beautiful, elegant, and exquisite, Nanny Song could not help but tear up.


    "Why is wet nurse crying for no reason? Is there some trouble in your family?" As far as this person who sincerely treats her well was concerned, she also valued her equally. As long as it was something that she could help with, no matter what the request was, she would agree.


    Now that she thought about the matter with her family, Nanny Song felt very awkward and did not know whether she should talk about it or not.

 Chapter 32 part2

    Chapter 32B: A Lord Turned Up Uninvited


    This time, what happened was that her maiden family was getting themselves a daughter-inw. Because she worked at the General¡¯s Mansion, she should¡¯ve saved no small amount of money, therefore, someone wrote a letter to ask her to make a trip back home.


    Originally, she thought that her Zhi¡¯er asked her to attend the wedding feast due to filial piety. As a result, Nanny Song happily made the journey. Only then did she find out that none of the new bride¡¯s family members were benevolent. They insisted on her bringing out twenty taels of silver. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t allow the bride enter the husband¡¯s home. Nanny Song¡¯s younger brother and his wife passed away early, leaving only Zhi¡¯er as her sole rtive. How could she watch Zhi¡¯er fail to take a wife.


    Clenching her teeth, Nanny Song gave away the money she had prepared in order to purchase medicines for her own use. Finally, everyone moved forward with the wedding.


    Nanny Song had originally prepared to properly take good care of her health during her short leave of absence, but because of this incident, the oue was that she had no more money. She even became more tired, so not only had her illness not improved, it instead became increasingly severe.


    If it wasn¡¯t for her forcibly enduring, she wouldn¡¯t have even been able to get out of her bed.


    "Um, is Wet Nurse ill?"


    Luo Qing Luan previously had not noticed, but now that she heard Nanny Song stammering as she spoke, she noticed that herplexion was somewhat poor.


    Once she checked her pulse, Luo Qing Luan indeed determined that Wet Nurse has already suffered from rheumatism for many years. Each bout of rain or wind would cause her joints to ache, but Nanny Song had never mentioned it before, precisely because she didn¡¯t want Luo Qing Luan to be worried.


    Promptly asking Dai Yue to take out another hundred taels of silver, Luo Qing Laun saw that Nanny Song wanted to refuse again and immediately spoke sternly. "Wet nurse, I¡¯m already no longer the previous me. This bit of money doesn¡¯t count as much. If you don¡¯t believe it, ask Dai Yue."


    Dai Yue nodded her head at once. "It¡¯s true, Nanny Song, you should ept it. The mistress is quite formidable now. In but one month, she earned a lot of money."


    She stealthily neared Nanny Song¡¯s ear and said softly, "Our mistress made several tens of thousands of taels, really."


    Shocked all over, Nanny Song almost didn¡¯t dare to believe it as she looked at Luo Qing Luan. "My Lady, you really......"


    Unable to ept it, this was just too inconceivable.


    Formerly, their mistress had always been bullied by the side madam and eldest youngdy. Don¡¯t mention money, even her meals sometimes filled her up and sometimes left her hungry. Don¡¯t even think about wearing new clothes. Now that she suddenly heard that their mistress made over several tens of thousands taels of silver, she simply felt like she was in a dream.


    But Nanny Song knew that their mistress had always been pure and kindhearted and would absolutely not deceive her.


    After hesitating for a long while, finally, both of her trembled as she took the money and ced it in her chest pocket. "Thank you, My Lady......thank you, My Lady......"


    Her face was filled with that kind of radiant smile brimming with gratification, as if she finally saw a child who she protected gradually grow up, that kind of indescribable happiness.


    "That¡¯s right, Wet Nurse, the rheumatism on your body is very serious. I¡¯ll help you provide treatment." Luo Qing Luan prepared to cure Nanny Song¡¯s illness, not wanting her to suffer anymore during her old age.


    Able to clearly feel that their mistress of today had changed too much, Nanny Song simply didn¡¯t dare to imagine what in the world had happened to their mistress during the month that she was away.


    Watching Luo Qing Luan give her acupuncture treatment, even though each of those needles were so long, Nanny Song was not the least bit afraid, because she knew that her mistress certainly wouldn¡¯t harm her.


    Rheumatism, this kind of stubborn, chronic disease, unless the patient died, they would suffer quite a bit. As far as Luo Qing Luan was concerned, this disease was by no means not something that she could not manage.


    Among the illnesses that could be treated using the Ghost Hand¡¯s Nine Needles method, there was a different technique to target each illness. In the past, Luo Qing Luan also cured many patients with simr illnesses, therefore, she was quite confident.


    "It¡¯s done." Luo Qing Luan removed the silver needles and smiled as she said, "Wet Nurse, how do you feel, is it a bit better?"


    Half doubting, Nanny Song stood up. Her originally dully aching knee was surprisingly truly alleviated by no small amount. The torturous pain that bothered her for so many years seemed as if it had taken wings and flew away.


    "My Lady, you are truly......you¡¯ve truly changed. How wonderful, how wonderful."


    Nanny Song was endlessly excited. She grasped Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hands firmly. She¡¯d taken care of her mistress for so many years and had always known that she¡¯d been bullied and looked down upon. But now, she had barely left for such a short time, yet her mistress seemed to have been reborn and was even able to help her treat her illness.


    If the madam still lived to see this, she¡¯d definitely be happy.


    It¡¯s just too bad......once she thought about how the madam who¡¯d always treated her like family had already passed away, and even died in such an unjust way, Nanny Song couldn¡¯t help but feel sad. She lifted her head and looked into Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes with a bit more brilliance.


    Wait a little longer, if her mistress truly had the ability to defend herself, then she¡¯d certainly tell her.


    ......


    Late at night. The appearance of the starry heavens were like pearls iid on ck velvet, flickering indefinitely.


    During the day, Nanny Song mentioned her mother. Momentarily, Luo Qing Luan was surprisingly unable to sleep.


    With regards to this woman, she did not have the slightest bit of memory, and she only asionally heard servants mention her here a there. However, because of Luo Cheng and the side madam, the servants never dared to gossip. asionally, the ones who thought about her body¡¯s previous owner¡¯s mother were merely those few old servants who had already worked at the general¡¯s mansion for tens of years.


    Her mother......what kind of woman was she really?


    Just as she was pondering this, suddenly, Luo Qing Luan became alert as she looked at her window. The originally properly closed window was now not only opened from the outside, but the person who came was even standing inside her bedroom in a grandiose manner, afraid of nothing as he watched her.


    "Nn Ye?"


    Luo Qing Luan turned over and sat up, immediately on guard. "Why is it you again?" It was currently in the middle of the night. This man was not sleeping, surprisingly intruded upon the general¡¯s mansion instead, and even broke into her bedroom? If someone were to see this, she wouldn¡¯t be able to exin clearly even if she had ten mouths.


    Her room waspletely dim. Only the moonlight provided a little bit of lighting, barely enough to see with.


    Nn Ye¡¯s handsome and rxed face was even more strangely alluring in the dark, radiating a deadly attractive force. He walked over step by step and said expressionlessly, "Isn¡¯t the Second Miss Luo the one who set a date with me?"


    What nonsense!


    Luo Qing Luan was going to yell at him, but held back with difficulty when the words reached her lips. "Only ghosts would make a date with you."


    "Previously, at Heavenly Dream Tower, didn¡¯t you say that as long as I gave you ten thousand taels of silver, you¡¯ll return that jade piece to me?" Nn Ye already reached her bedside as he continued, "What, is Miss Luo going to go back on her words?"

 Chapter 33 part1

    Chapter 33A: Toying Around and Toying Back


    It turned out that he came here to give her money?


    Luo Qing Luan calmed down a little bit, but she still maintained her guard as before.


    "You stand further away. We¡¯ll continue to speak after I¡¯ve gotten dressed." She certainly wasn¡¯t willing to talk to Nn Ye the way she was dressed now. She looked at the clothes stand by her bed where her outer clothes were hung. She had to put those clothes on.


    Following Luo Qing Luan¡¯s line of sight, Nn Ye cast a nce, but he not only didn¡¯t distance himself, instead, he walked towards the side of the bed. In a blink, the distance between the two of them was less than three feet. The cold wind outside blew in through the window, blending with a chilly breath. Immediately, Luo Qing Luan felt a mountain of pressure.


    Eyes narrowing, she subconsciously retreated as she shouted in a low voice. "What are you doing? I asked you to stand further away. Did you not hear?"


    "Am I supposed to just listen to whatever Miss Luo says?" Nn Ye uttered coldly. A strange light shed through the pair of bright eyes hidden in the dark.


    [Shameless. Bastard!]


    Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but curse a few times in her heart, then opened her mouth to say, "Weren¡¯t you going to pay me money? Just put it on the table. I¡¯ll return your jade piece to you. Leave quickly after you take it."


    After saying this, despite exposing her secret hiding ce, she still turned around and took out the box from the secretpartment. She opened it and took out that jade piece to give to him.


    This man came to pay money in the middle of the night? There must be something wrong with him. No matter what, it¡¯s best to just quickly get rid of him.


    Nn Ye¡¯s gaze moved to look at the item in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand and suddenly smiled. He actually sat down. Luo Qing Luan had been staring fixedly at his actions and resisted speaking out with great difficulty. However, the fact was that the hand which she hid under the nket was already prepared.


    "This Prince should examine the jade first before doing anything else. What if you¡¯ve dropped it....."


    As he spoke, he reached out his hand, as if he truly wanted to examine it seriously. Luo Qing Luan creased her eyebrows. Why was this man so full of suspicions? But her concentration barelypsed when suddenly, she saw Nn Ye move extremely quickly and already grabbed her hand.


    Her entire small hand was grasped in the palm of his hand, and she immediately felt a strength holding her tightly. Luo Qing Luan was startled and promptly withdrew her hand, but the other person exerted even more strength, so she surprisingly wasn¡¯t able to pull her hand back.


    "Let go!" Luo Qing Luan clenched her teeth as she shouted. She just didn¡¯t shout very loudly. Were it not for this time and ce being wrong, she would¡¯ve screamed loudly. How could she not worry about drawing people here only to incur misunderstandings?


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t say anything and also did not let go. Instead, he just stared straight at her. "What, is Miss Luo nervous?"


    "Shameless. Let go, do you hear me?"


    "But......"


    The hand holding her moved subconsciously as Nn Ye faintly uttered, "This Prince suddenly recalled how Miss Luo forcibly kissed mest time. I felt that the taste was not bad. I didn¡¯t expect that these hands are also just as tender and delicate. As if exerting a little of my strength will break it."


    "You......"


    Listening to these words which seemed to be flirting, but in reality, they were brimming with threatening intent. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart clenched.


    This man. Could it be that tonight, he¡¯s taking the chance to seek revenge against her for stepping on himst time? How could he be so narrow-minded?


    She only felt that the strength on her hands was quite strong and simply wasn¡¯t something she could resist. Luo Qing Luan had always been the sort to know better than to fight when the odds are against her. With a thought, she immediately changed her expression. "It hurts......you¡¯re hurting me, please let go!"


    She assumed an expression of not being able to stand it anymore. Her voice also sounded scared, just like a weak little girl encountering a notorious robber, eyes filled with panic and fear.


    This girl, her expressions sure changed quickly!


    Nn Ye understood clearly. After the encounterst time, how would he still be easily fooled?


    It¡¯s just that watching Luo Qing Luan¡¯s appearance immediately changing was truly interesting. He actually had never seen such a littless before, undoubtedly extremely daring, with an impressive number of tricks, yet once she ran into an opponent she was unable to resist, she immediately changed her attitude, wanting to fool the other person into lowering their guard.


    What a cunningss!


    "This Prince has not used his strength, so how can it hurt?" As Nn Ye finished speaking levelly, his hand moved quickly, opened his hand and brushed it, so fast that his motion could not be seen, and during the time that Luo Qing Luan had not reacted, he already took away the jade piece in her hand.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s pupils constricted, but it was already toote.


    Not only was the jade piece taken away by him, her hands were as before, still unable to struggle free of his grasp. Until now, she was still held firmly by him.


    Suddenly growing angry, she couldn¡¯t help but use force in wanting to pull her hands out. Who would have imagined? The moment she pulled her hands back, Nn Ye released his hands. Powerful inertia caused her to be unstable, and she nearly fell backwards.


    "Ah......"


    She subconsciously crying out in rm, Luo Qing Ye immediately put her hand behind her on the bed to prop herself up. At the same time, another hand also extended over and supported her slender waist.


    This loathsome guy, he dared to take advantage of her?


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart hardened. How would she still care who she¡¯s facing? Her hand pped out fiercely towards the pit of Nn Ye¡¯s stomach. The other person moved to the side, as if he was prepared ahead of time for this to ur. She had just started to move when her hand was already grabbed by Nn Ye.


    "Truly is a little wild cat scratching people......"


    Nn Yeughed lightly. He only felt that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand was so soft and felt sofortable when he kneaded it, so he couldn¡¯t help but knead it a few more times.

 Chapter 33 part2

    Chapter 33b: Toying With and Toying Back


    <h4></h4>


    "You like to toy with girls that much?" Luo Qing Luan nearly could no longer stand it as her entire body abruptly stopped moving. Motionless, her voice even carried a trace of a sob.


    Inside the dim bedroom, her hands firmly grasped by Nn Ye, without further resistance nor pulling back, also without moving, just allowing him to hold her like that.


    Her pair of clear and bright eyes watched Nn Ye as her small body faintly shuddered. Under the moonlight, he seemed to be able to see something umting in her eyes, as if she¡¯s tearing up.


    "I merely took, merely took your jade piece......"


    She spoke in between broken breaths, voice very soft, very lightly, brimming with intense fear and rm. She had not even finished one sentence before she already humbly sobbed spasmodically. "Why do you want to bully me? Wu hoo......if someone were to see you, see you in my bedroom......how can I live in the future......boo wu hoo......Nn Ye, have I offended you in some way? Boo hoo wu......"


    A young girl¡¯s distress and shame was totally taken in by Nn Ye. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s delicate and pretty little face was already covered with tears, making him abruptly change his thought process.


    His attitudes of taking liberties with her and teasing her was immediately eliminated unimaginably far away by her lovely and pitiful appearance. So much so that he even suddenly felt a kind of strange sensation. Him bullying a girl like her in that way seemed as if it was truly somewhat excessive?


    She did have some tricks up her sleeve, but they were merely enough to deal with other girls like her, that¡¯s all. Just likest time, when he was careless, and she hit him. Wasn¡¯t it like a cat scratch only, without injuring him in the slightest?


    Truly whenpared to a big man like him, and also when he¡¯s on guard, Luo Qing Luan was but a littless after all, simply without any ability to injure him.


    Unconsciously, his hands loosened. Nn Ye felt increasingly guilty and was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Forget it."


    Feeling a bit sorry towards her, but his identity dictated that saying something like ¡¯sorry¡¯ to a little girl was somewhat difficult to do in the end. Hiscency from before had already dimmed down and had been supnted, so he no longer intended to take liberties with Luo Qing Luan as he said, "I¡¯ve already taken back the jade. I¡¯m giving you ten thousand taels. I¡¯m leaving."


    Nn Ye took out a pile of banknotes from his sleeve pocket and ced them in front of Luo Qing Luan, then he took another look before finally standing up and leaving.


    "Nn Ye......"


    Unexpectedly, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s soft voice sounded behind him, as if wanting him to wait a moment.


    Could it be that she still wanted to say something? Nn Ye stood and was going to turn his head around to see what she had to say when suddenly, he felt a warning sh through his mind, following which his back seemed as if it had been pricked. When he reacted, it was already toote.


    "Humph humph humph humph......"


    The originally sobbing voice behind him at this moment was already brimming withcency as itughed. Nn Ye felt horrible. He¡¯s been fooled again! He couldn¡¯t help butugh bitterly, wishing that he could hit himself.


    He only saw Luo Qing Luan¡¯s entire body covered in white underclothes standing up extending her hand towards Nn Ye¡¯s shoulders then pushed. With a bit of force, thetter¡¯s straight and stiff body fell down directly on the bed. Her appearance was of someone whose crafty scheme prevailed. Where would there be tears on her face? She was grinning and chuckling as she looked at Nn Ye.


    "Been duped, right? Careless, right?"


    Luo Qing Luan harrumphed then grabbed his long hair and pulled it. "Loathsome man, you dared to y tricks on me, want to die?"


    Seeing Nn Ye¡¯s body move, as if he was going to resist, she immediately moved like the wind and quickly stuck a few more needles into his body before speaking. "Give it up. Last time I used the ckout Powder against you, but you were surprisingly drug resistant. I wasn¡¯t able to make you lose consciousness. This time, I changed to using acupuncture. Let¡¯s see if you can still move?"


    So it¡¯s acupuncture? Only now did Nn Ye understand what he was pricked with.


    Merely, he truly couldn¡¯t tell that this littless actually was such an expert in medicine?


    "Nn Ye, you bullied me so much previously. Now that you¡¯ve fallen into my hands, tell me......how should I deal with you?" Sizing up the man on the bed for a moment, Luo Qing Luan earnestly pondered how she should make her move following this.


    Nn Ye raised his lips slightly, unexpectedly not minding his condition at all. "What, Miss Luo, is it possible that you also want to push me into the pond?"


    He didn¡¯t feel at all that she would have such nerves.


    "Stop bringing up this matter!"


    Suddenly feeling that she had been threatened, Luo Qing Luan scowled at him. Extending her hand, she wanted to hit him.


    But before her hand extended, her gaze fell upon the handsome face in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but stay her hand.


    The moonlight faintly came through the open window, providing a trace of illumination in the little room. He looked at her calmly under that light,pletely without the awareness of a fish or pig that was on the verge of getting ughtered. On the contrary, there was even a faintly smiling expression as he watched her.


    What¡¯s he smiling for? Could it be that he truly thought she wouldn¡¯t do anything to him?


    Luo Qing Luan was filled with hate, but seeing Nn Ye¡¯s manner of not resisting in the slightest, his face suffused by moonlight looking so handsome and outstandingly picturesque, her intent to truly sort him out weakened again.


    Such a good-looking man was truly a bit pleasing to the eyes.


    Suddenly, a devilish yful urge rose up spontaneously. Luo Qing Luanughed mischievously, her hand already stroking Nn Ye¡¯s face. "Nn Ye, actually, your looks are also not bad."


    Nn Ye was slightly stumped for words, what did she mean?


    Who would have thought, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s next sentence nearly made him die of anger. "Just based on your looks, if you were to be the main attraction at Heavenly Dream Tower, business will definitely flourish, profits pouring in."


    After she finished speaking, her hands already rose up Nn Ye¡¯s face. From his eyebrows, she stroked the high and straight bridge of his nose, then slid down to his lips, lingering there, before stroking him again. She looked as if she truly considered him to be the most lowly boy toy.


    "Nn Ye, tell me, if I were to take you to bed tonight, should I pay you one tael or two taels of silver?" Heh heh hee hee......Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud.

 Chapter 34 part1

    Chapter 34a: This Means War!


    <h4></h4>


    He had never thought that he would one day be duped twice. Moreover, fooled by the same person both times!


    It¡¯s just that Nn Ye didn¡¯t feel any killing intent at all, not even feeling the slightest sense of a crisis. On the contrary, he felt something like not knowing whether tough or cry. The young girl in front of him happened to smile so prettily as she looked at him, both pleased and cheerfully. The smiling expression on her face was like brilliant sunshine, making him couldn¡¯t help but feel increasingly patient.


    As expected, he wasn¡¯t wrong ining here tonight. He truly found her to be more and more interesting.


    Luo Qing Luan felt that Nn Ye¡¯s helpless appearance was very pleasing. She was totally oblivious to what he was thinking.


    "En, your looks are truly charming! Nn Ye, has anyone ever say that about you? How many women are there by your side, have they all been totally bewitched by you?"


    "What a pity......"


    Her fingertips slid lightly over Nn Ye¡¯s chin, following along his slender neck, they slid down to his chest. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shone brightly with devilish delight as she very slowly start to separate his clothes. Her mouth was even mumbling. "Tonight, this youngdy will be the first to take you to bed. Let¡¯s first see how your body looks."


    Watching as his own clothes were slowly undone, Nn Ye simply did not know whether tough or cry.


    This girl, so utterly brazen. She actually dared to take off a man¡¯s clothes? Did she not know that she¡¯s ying with fire?


    Her pair of little soft hands felt like soft tofu as they touched his face. Were it not for him presently being paralyzed, he even truly wanted to flip his body over and press her under him, as he watched her blushing with anger, her appearance flustered and exasperated.


    En, he had better force open his acupoints first.


    Luo Qing Luan very quickly untied his outer garments, not stopping for a second. Very quickly, she pulled away the belt from his robe. Once she lifted his robe, what fell into her eyes was bright and fair skin, yet his muscles were distinct and sturdy on his chest.


    "Yo, your figure is actually passable." Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shined.


    From her perspective, his figure was not only passable, it was simply not bad at all. It seemed that this man¡¯s martial arts training had not gone to waste. The muscles on his body were neither too excessive nor too little, and neither too exaggerated, nor appearing thin and weak. He obviously exceeded the standard needed to serve as a fashion model. Such eye candy.


    As she looked, her hands couldn¡¯t help but touch him directly. Moreover, without the slightest bit of restraint. Luo Qing Luanughed mischievously, just like a female lecher. One little hand wandered unceasingly on Nn Ye¡¯s body as her mouth even spoke continually. "Let this youngdy inspect you for a bit. Nn Ye, let¡¯s see if your build is up to standard. Eh? Why is it so firm~~~!"


    As she said this, she was poking at his chest. Surprisingly, there was no movement when she poked it like that.


    "How can it be so hard? What if your wife doesn¡¯t like it this hard? This won¡¯t do. I¡¯ll jab jab jab, I simply don¡¯t believe that it won¡¯t move." Her fingersing down like rain, Luo Qing Luan indeed continually poked. She jabbed with all of her strength at Nn Ye¡¯s pectoral muscles.


    Simr to concentrated raindrops, Nn Ye actually felt that besides feeling a bit ticklish, there was also a limp and numb feeling that started to pervade him.


    Watching this delicate and pretty, outstandingly gorgeous face in front of him, on the one hand, he used all of his internal force to charge open his acupoints, on the other hand, he couldn¡¯t help but exercise control over the strange feeling that¡¯s rising within his body. He growled. "Little Lass, that¡¯s enough out of you."


    "How can this be enough?" Luo Qing Luanughed as she looked at him with head tilted. "I have not had enough fun. You stinky man, you actually ran to my bedroom in the middle of the night, lustfully breaking the rules. Since I¡¯ve captured you, I¡¯ll properly teach you a lesson, I¡¯ll have you know what the consequences of being a molester is."


    After she finished speaking, she touched him more and more vigorously and peeled off even more of his clothes, allowing them to fall by the side, exposing his entirely naked upper body.


    "Hee hee, if other people were to know that the magnificent Prince of Chu, Nn Ye¡¯s clothes were stripped naked by this youngdy, just like a sheep waiting to be ughtered. Tell me, won¡¯t everyone be shocked silly?"


    As she spoke, Luo Qing Luan seemingly thought of something as her eyes sparkled. "That¡¯s right. I will draw you into an erotic illustrated novel, have you be the main character along with an appropriate storyline. Tell me, won¡¯t it sell very well?"


    The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Luo Qing Luan started to seriously size up Nn Ye¡¯s body and even prepared to find paper and brush.


    Lying down on the bed and having been stripped naked, Nn Ye found it to be increasinglyughable and couldn¡¯t help but act along with her. "Stinky girl, you dare to humiliate me like this?"


    Groping in the dark to find paper and brush, Luo Qing Luan totally didn¡¯t know that Nn Ye was already going to clear his acupoints soon. She quickly brought writing brush and paper over and ced them on Nn Ye¡¯s chest before starting to paint. "Don¡¯t move, do you hear me? I¡¯m going to draw your face first......"


    Having decided that her next erotic book was going to use Nn Ye as the main character. At that time, what kind of girl should be paired with him? Should it be a courtesan, or a peasant girl, or maybe a princess?


    "Luo Qing Luan, you sure have big guts. I will certainly punish you properly."


    Basically not paying attention to Nn Ye pressed under her, Luo Qing Luan was happily thinking and just casually replied. "Stop being noisy. Otherwise, if my drawing of you is ugly and can¡¯t be sold for a high price, you¡¯ll have to make up for my loss."


    Unexpectedly, she had just finished speaking when the man below her suddenly turned over. Caught off guard, he already pressed her under his body.


    What? He unexpectedly......


    Before Luo Qing Luan had time to figure things out, in the next second, her acupoints were already paralyzed by Nn Ye. She was reduced to lying motionless on the bed.


    Stupefied, Luo Qing Luan nearly screamed.


    What went wrong? This bastard, Nn Ye, not only did he neutralize her acupuncture, he even blocked her acupoints using acupressure and paralyzed her? This bastard, he surprisingly knew both how to block acupoints as well as how to unblock them? Was he even human?

    Chapter 34B: This Means War!


    <h4></h4>


    In but an instant, the situation had already made a one hundred eighty degree turn. Nn Ye propped himself up on the bed and looked down at the petite girl who was losing her mind and was in shock. The panic and surprise on her face, also the trace of fear in her eyes, all did not escape his perception.


    The corners of his mouth curving up, Nn Yeughed delightedly. "Miss Luo, didn¡¯t I say that I¡¯ll certainly properly punish you?"


    "What are you going to do? Bastard, let me go!" Luo Qing Luan gnashed her teeth as she stared hatefully at him.


    "Tell me, what am I going to do?" Deliberately imitating her mannerisms from before, Nn Yeughed mischievously, as if he was truly the personification of a rapist, a totally lecherous expression. "Just now, didn¡¯t you strip me to the point of being bare naked? Now, tell me, should I not reciprocate in the same way?"


    "You dare!"


    Simply not anticipating that there would be such an unbelievable turn of events, Luo Qing Luan suddenly regretted what she did.


    She didn¡¯t expect that this Nn Ye surprisingly would be able to clear his own acupoints so quickly. If she had known earlier, she would¡¯ve looked for some ropes and tie up both his hands and feet. She miscalcted this time!


    "There isn¡¯t anything that I don¡¯t dare to do in this world. Miss Luo, a moment ago, you ruthlessly humiliated me. This time, I will also firmly teach you a lesson."


    While he was speaking, Nn Ye already leaned towards Luo Qing Luan,ing closer and closer to her.


    Realizing suddenly that this turn of events was far from good, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but say. "Nn Ye, you bastard, if you dare to touch me, I......I, after thinking for quite some time, she actually couldn¡¯t think of what method to use to threaten him.


    Presently, she was under his control. Moreover, she didn¡¯t know martial arts at all. Even if she had the ckout drug on her, she didn¡¯t have any way of moving, so she basically couldn¡¯t use it. She felt more and more anxious, while she saw that handsome face harboring malicious intentions approaching closer and closer to hers. She finally couldn¡¯t help but yell, "I¡¯m going to call people......"


    "Woah......"


    She did not finish speaking when her lips had already been blocked.


    A simrly soft pair of lips was forcefully blocking her the same way as if the were tasting the finest culinary delicacy and started to attack towards the depths. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s brains exploded with a bang,pletely nking out. She forgot the words that she wanted to say. She also forgot that she wanted to resist him.


    His body pressed firmly against hers. His lips were kissing hers passionately. That scent, that sensation of heating up, those willful movements were as if she and he were lovers who desired had each other for many years. His kiss was like wildfire, unstoppable.


    "Let go......woah......you basta......" With great difficulty, she cleared her head. Luo Qing Luan subconsciously wanted to yell at him, but she barely opened her mouth when Nn Ye took the opportunity to be even more unbridled as he directly seized more and more territory, controlling her firmly in his hands.


    His strength was too powerful, while her acupoints had been sealed such that she was paralyzed. Don¡¯t even mention resisting. At this time, Luo Qing Luan really felt regretful. If she didn¡¯t provoke him......pah pah pah......this thought just barely shed through her mind when she negated it. Damn this stinky man, he dared to bully her. She absolutely won¡¯t take things lying down!


    If she had a chance next time, she must first use the ckout powder to paralyze him, then tie his hands and feet, and then use needles to seal his acupoints for extra measure. See if he could still move or not. She didn¡¯t believe that he was truly a god!


    Only after a long while did Nn Ye get up, still not having fully expressed himself. Wiping his lips, he smiled as he said. "Miss Luo, you taste quite sweet, the vor is pretty good. I feel that you¡¯re at least worth ten taels of silver. If you had more skills, then it would¡¯ve been even better."


    After saying this, he indeed felt for a gold leaf in his waist and put it beside her. "I bestow upon you ten taels of silver. As for the remainder, you can keep the change."


    He¡¯s surprisingly treating her like a woman from the courtesan house?


    Luo Qing Luan became flushed from exasperation and already could not tell whether she was actually embarrassed, or angry. "Nn Ye, you despicable, shameless, vulgar, filthy man. If you fall into my hands next time......"


    "En, you still dare to threaten this prince?" Nn Ye abruptly turned around and looked at her with a smile that¡¯s not a smile. "Are you already beginning to long for my kiss, therefore you¡¯re purposefully stirring my mes, attempting to have me kiss you again?"


    "You......" Luo Qing Luan was angered to the point of helplessness. She¡¯d seen shameless before, but had never met someone as shameless as him! Seeing that Nn Ye truly came towards her again, Luo Qing Luan was rmed. "Get lost, Nn Ye, if you have the ability, then undo my acupoints. I¡¯ll fight with you!"


    "No no no......"


    Nn Ye wagged his forefinger and said levelly, "I never fight with women, especially with a littless like you. That¡¯s simply beneath my dignity. Therefore......"


    The corners of his lips hooked up as his eyes scanned the vicinity and picked up the writing brush that Luo Qing Luan dropped previously.


    "Little wildcat, you¡¯re truly a little wildcat." Nn Ye murmured softly. As Luo Qing Luan stared at him helplessly, while not being able to resist in the slightest, he quickly drew something on her forehead.


    After a while, he appraised his own masterpiece and nodded in a satisfied manner. "En, not bad, Miss Luo, it matches you quite well."


    Having said this, Nn Ye finally calmly arranged his clothes. After he finished dressing, he leisurely walked to her door, then turned his head to say, "Goodbye, Miss Luo. I hope you like the present I gave you."


    "Bastard! Scoundrel! Hoodlum!"


    After Luo Qing Luan waited for the amount of time it took to boil tea, her acupoints finally cleared themselves.


    She quickly got off the bed and ran to the mirror on the dressing table to take a look. Nn Ye actually drew the face of a cat on her forehead!


    She was so angry that she shook from head to foot. As Luo Qing Luan used force to wipe off the drawing, she was cursing him, "Nn Ye, just you wait, you¡¯ll go to hell. I¡¯m going to war against you, not stopping until myst breath!"

 Chapter 35 part1

    Chapter 35A: Guest at Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion


    Unwilling to have people discover this matter, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t even tell Dai Yue. It¡¯s just that she didn¡¯t sleep well the entire night and was even continually worried about whether Nn Ye would return or not, until the morning came. On her face, two dark circles under her eyes appeared.


    "My Lady," Once Dai Yue saw them, she yelled in rm, "howe your eyes......have you not slept well?"


    Her mistress whose skin was as white as snow, howe she turned like this after one night? Not only was her forehead reddish, the circles under her eyes were also very dark. She even sported a dispirited appearance. What in the world was going on?


    Could it be that she had a nightmare?


    Once she recalled this matter, Luo Qing Yue became upset, but she couldn¡¯t say anything. She was even more unwilling to vent herself on Dai Yue, so she only scowled and spoke in a depressed manner, "Dai Yue, I¡¯m starving to death. I want to eat!"


    Transforming her indignation into hunger for food. She wanted to gorge herself and eat everything up.


    So it¡¯s like that. Once Dai Yue heard her mistress, she promptly put down the wash basin and left to make breakfast. Only after she ate no less than three meat steamed buns, one bowl of porridge, and also two fried egg cakes, did Luo Qing Luan feel perfectly satisfied and put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.


    "En, I¡¯m full." Indeed it was effective. At this moment, her mood was much better.


    "That¡¯s right, Dai Yue, did the wet nurse¡¯s painful leg re up again yesterday?"


    Hearing Luo Qing Luan ask this, Dai Yue hesitated somewhat. "This......very early in the morning, Nanny Song was already summoned by the side madam. Not only her, basically all of the servant girls in the General¡¯s Mansion were also summoned by her to help out."


    "What? What happened?" Once Luo Qing Luan heard this, she was baffled. What could¡¯ve happened such that even the servant from her courtyard was summoned away?


    "Has My Lady forgotten? Didn¡¯t the eldestdy send someone here the day before yesterday to deliver a message? She said that she and the fifth prince is inviting the Master, side madam, and also you to go together and attend a banquet at Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. I heard that they even invited other officials, madams, and youngdies. It¡¯s because the side madam is preparing a present that she had everyone summoned to the storerooms to take inventory."


    Attending a banquet. Sending presents?


    Quickly recalling this matter, Luo Qing Luan smiled coldly.


    Wasn¡¯t it just like her elder sister to invite her family over for dinner and use the opportunity to show off? It¡¯s just that she can¡¯t imagine what Luo Qing Shuang had that was worth showing off. Merely a minor concubine of the Fifth Prince, that¡¯s all. Why was she not feeling embarrassed and wanted to set up a huge banquet, instead?


    "Fine. It¡¯s nothing much anyway. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll also just give her a present. Let¡¯s go and see just what kind of act Elder Sister wants to put on this time."


    Sure enough, on the second day, early in the morning, Wang Xue Ru already came to look for Luo Qing Luan.


    Were it not for Dai Yue having already obtained the news early on and told her, she might still have been eating breakfast. How would she be able to send the present in time? Wang Xue Ru saw that Luo Qing Luan was properly dressed in a manner and attractive style that was appropriate for the asion and she was a bit astonished. "En, Qing Luan, is everything in order? Father¡¯s Concubine intended toe early to tell you that we¡¯re attending Fifth Prince¡¯s banquet, yet didn¡¯t expect that you......heh heh, seem to be prepared already. Let¡¯s go, then. Your Father is already waiting for us out front."


    Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently. "Thank you, Father¡¯s Concubine, foring to get me."


    This pair of mother and daughter, it seemed that they wouldn¡¯t let her rx for even a minute. They even wanted to mess with her in this kind of situation. Would it really make them happy if she had no time to dress, and just casually throw on something to attend the banquet, so that she ended up losing face?


    Didn¡¯t they know the principle that a winner would always be a winner, and a loser would always remain a loser?


    However, in regards to this kind of selfish and narrow-minded woman like Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan really did not care about her in the least, because she simply couldn¡¯t make herself care. She just couldn¡¯t be bothered with it.


    A carriage was already stopped in front of the General¡¯s Mansion. Luo Qing Luan and Wang Xue Ru entered the carriage. Dai Yue and thetter¡¯s servant maid entered behind. As for Luo Cheng, as the general, and head of a mansion, he naturally left in a separate carriage.


    On the way, Wang Xue Ru didn¡¯t give Luo Qing Luan any trouble at all, and talked to her even less about what she should pay attention to, or what rules there were at Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. Luo Qing Luan also ended up being idle, disying a faintly smiling expression on her face.


    In order to go from the General¡¯s Mansion to the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, they needed to go straight on Wenchang Street, pass Baohua Street, pass through the most luxurious restaurant in the entire city, Fengxiang Restaurant, then enter Donghua Street. This neighborhood basically housed people with powerful connections, including those from the royal families. Each resident was magnificent. Not only was the environment graceful, even staff without fixed duties could not draw near, so it was extremely safe.


    Having gotten down from the carriage, Luo Qing Luan took a look at the front entrance of Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. A lot of carriages were already stopped there and no small number of guests also arrived at the same time that they did. It was evident that a number of girls about the same age as her didn¡¯t go out frequently, as they appeared to be curious, yet were quite reserved. They didn¡¯t talk much either.


    Luo Cheng walked at the very front. The butler in charge of receiving guests at the front door of Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion saw him with a nce and promptly smiled as he weed him. "General Luo hase. Pleasee in. Fifth Prince has waited inside for a long time."


    In regards to his status, Luo Cheng was Nangong Chen, Fifth Prince¡¯s, father-inw after all. Normally, he also shoulde out to meet him personally, yet now, Nangong Chen didn¡¯te out at all, and merely sent a butler to wee him. If this was another guest, as a prince, Nangong Chen really wouldn¡¯t need to think much of them, but as for Luo Cheng, this father-inw......


    Luo Qing Luan actually didn¡¯t care what her father thought about it, but she still saw the trace of displeasure sh through his face as he still smiled as before while nodding his head. Wang Xue Ru apparently didn¡¯t sense anything at all, and instead was eager to ask that butler where her daughter, Qing Shuang, was.


    The butler naturally knew Wang Xue Ru¡¯s identity and answered with a smile. "The side madam is in the garden waiting for Madam. I¡¯ll immediately have someone take madam and the youngdy over there."


    Once Wang Xue Ru heard this, she was both startled and delighted. "Ah, Qing Shuang, she......"

 Chapter 35 part2

    Chapter 35B: Guest at Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion


    She refrained from speaking the rest of her words, but one could see that she was very excited. Without waiting for Luo Qing Luan to say anything, she pulled her inside. "Hurry, let us go see your older sister. We need to properly ask her about this matter."


    Basically paying no attention to the other madams or youngdies who were also visiting at the same time, Luo Qing Luan was pulled inside by Wang Xue Ru. She vaguely heard the sound of softughter from some people behind her speaking while covering their mouths.


    As they were led by a servant towards the garden, she could see the surroundings decorated magnificently from afar, all kinds of flowers and nts were growing luxuriously and lushly. Countless numbers of flowers were in bloom, every color under the sun, their fragrance permeating the entire estate.


    Apparently, some guests had already arrived, all of whom were female. They were standing and chatting under the pavilion by the lotus pond. From a distance, their bursts ofughter could still be heard as well as their chattering voices.


    "Mother, you¡¯vee." Seeing Wang Xue Ruing, Luo Qing Shuang got up to wee her. Some of the youngdies sitting beside her also stood up in greeting. But with a nce, Luo Qing Luan could tell that these guests were basically about the same age as she was. Besides some married women attired somewhat ugly, there was not a single upper ss married woman to be seen.


    But with a thought, Luo Qing Luan understood.


    Even though this was a dinner at the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, merely a little bit of investigation from their ears and eyes would reveal that the initiator was actually Luo Qing Shuang. This was a minor concubine that the fifth prince had recently brought into his residence. If she was the eldest daughter of the General¡¯s Mansion that she once was, maybe those high officials and noble people would still have their daughter participate in this kind of banquet. However, presently, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s reputation had already been degraded to the gutter. Moreover, she was even only a minor concubine. How many people would think highly of her?


    If it were not for the fact that there was still Nangong Chen, this fifth prince, to keep up appearances, perhaps there would be even less people attending today¡¯s event?


    From her side, Dai Yue started to point out to her, "My Lady, that¡¯s the Minister of Works, Wang Yuanwai¡¯s wife and his daughter. That¡¯s the Myriad Treasures Exchange¡¯s Second Master¡¯s great aunt and her two daughters. Also, the woman wearing a yellow jacket is the capital¡¯s magistrate¡¯s third wife......" Afraid that she wouldn¡¯t recognize these people, Dai Yue introduced thoroughly.


    "En. I got it." Luo Qing Luan found itughable. Indeed, it¡¯s as she expected. These female guests were not of low status, but they¡¯re far from being equal in status to the General¡¯s Mansion, merely some concubines and such. These people ordinarily wouldn¡¯t be in the position to enter the main hall. It¡¯s sufficient for her to imagine that when Luo Qing Shuang sent the invitations, she must¡¯ve targeted the wives of imperial rtives, or maybe first or second ranked officials¡¯ wives and children, but either these people didn¡¯te, or they just randomly found some great aunt toe just for show.


    It¡¯s obvious that not only did no one think highly of Luo Qing Shuang, even the unfavored Fifth Prince ordinarily simply did not upy the least bit of status within these powerful people¡¯s eyes.


    She originally intended toe today as a spectator, merely going through the motions, that¡¯s all. Luo Qing Luan calmly sat next to Wang Xue Ru and listened to Luo Qing Shuang chattering away, talking nonstop as she unted this and that. "Mother, look, this is a set of head ornaments that Fifth Prince gave to me yesterday. All of these are rubies! He said that he wanted me to wear them today. After all, I¡¯m going to be entertaining so many people, while I¡¯m the only hostess. How can I not dress up a bit more?"


    Was this kind of thing worth showing off? Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently.


    Wang Xue Ru replied in a pleasantly surprised manner. "Qing Shuang, Fifth Prince is so good to you. You should properly help him manage the Prince¡¯s Mansion, do you understand. Oh, a servant just told me that you¡¯ve already be his side consort? What happened there?"


    This was precisely what Luo Qing Shuang wanted to brag about, but she couldn¡¯t say it herself. Instead, she nced at thedies beside her with an appearance of embarrassment.


    "Aiya, General¡¯s Madam, presently, we need to address the eldest Miss Luo as Fifth Prince¡¯s Side Consort now."


    That female wearing the yellow dress from before, who looked to be twenty five or six years old promptly smiled and responded. "You have such good fortune. The eldest Miss Luo is pregnant!"


    Once these words were spoken, Wang Xue Ru was so pleasantly surprised that she couldn¡¯t conceal her happiness. "Qing Shuang, is it true? You¡¯re really pregnant?"


    Luo Qing Shuang nodded her head demurely as she said softly, "Mother, look at how happy you are."


    Immediately, another woman took the opportunity to smile and say, "Deserving of being the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s eldest daughter. Not only are you educated and well-bnced, hoodwinking His Majesty so that he would personally bestow you to Fifth Prince. Now, you just barely entered the family and is already pregnant. Fifth Prince currently only have one side consort. If Miss Luo gives birth to a little prince, I¡¯m afraid not long from now, we¡¯ll have to change your form of address to Prince¡¯s Consort!"


    A flower blossoming in her heart, but Luo Qing Shuang still pretended to beposed just like before. "Madam Zhang must be kidding. I have barely just been promoted to side consort. How can I have the ability to be a main consort. Moreover, a main consort requires His Majesty¡¯s consent as well as a series of procedural formalities from the Minister of RItes before it¡¯s possible. How can it be so easy?"


    "You shouldn¡¯t say that. This is Fifth Prince¡¯s first child. Eldest Miss Luo will have your wish fulfilled for sure."


    Wang Xue Ru listened to everyone¡¯s ttery to the point that her face cracked from smiling. On the one hand pretending to be modest. On the other hand unable to resist feelingcent, Luo Qing Shuang acted even more like the mistress of Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, as she incessantly talked about how good Fifth Prince was to her. Things like how he asked her to take care of her health, and give birth to a little prince as quickly as possible.


    As she was speaking, a woman¡¯s voice suddenly sounded and interrupted her. "I don¡¯t know what all of you are happy about. It seems that it hasn¡¯t even been a month since the Eldest Miss Luo entered Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, right? How can they already tell that she¡¯s pregnant? Is it possible that she was already pregnant before she got married?"

 Chapter 36 part1

    Chapter 36A: Always Clever and Eloquent


    These words were like iced water as they immediately prated everyone¡¯s heart and cooled them down. Each and everyone¡¯s expression became embarrassed.


    Luo Qing Shuang¡¯splexion changed even more precipitously, bing as white as a piece of white paper.


    This was originally the matter that she was most troubled about. She formerly thought that since she already married Nangong Chen, what had passed would be the past and at most, only a few people might notice.


    How could she have imagined that she had been too happy and momentarily leaked this weakness through her words, allowing someone to immediately grab it. It was even more unexpected that this woman hadn¡¯t finished speaking before she faintly casted Luo Qing Luan a nce then turned to look at Luo Qing Luan and continued, "I am surprised that General Luo, whose courage is unrivalled, fails when teaching his own daughters. Not only did the oldest daughter get pregnant before she was married, even his main wife¡¯s daughter is more or less the same. No need to talk about how she seduces Fifth Prince, she even stabs her elder sister in the back. Your entire family truly can not be described with words."


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression turned cold as she looked towards that woman.


    She originally only wanted peace and quiet, without any intention of provoking anyone. Who could have imagined? It¡¯s already good enough that she didn¡¯t provoke others, yet someone actually took the initiative to provoke her?


    "Madam Sun, you can¡¯t make such irresponsible remarks....." Wang Xue Ru originally wanted to confront her on the spot, yet once she looked at the woman who was speaking, she discovered that it surprisingly was the wife of the military department¡¯s head envoy in charge of five cities. Wang Xue Ru immediately lowered her voice and then cut herself off.


    This Madam Sun¡¯s face was brimming with arrogance while her entire body exuded luxuriousness, and a noble and graceful aura, as if none of the people at the scene was of any worth in her eyes. She took an indifferent nce at Wang Xue Ru. "What, you must be the oldest Miss Luo¡¯s mother, right, General Luo¡¯s second wife? Do you feel that I¡¯m wrong?"


    How could a concubine, Wang Xue Ru, dare to go against the wife of the military department¡¯s head envoy? She smiled obsequiously. "No, no......"


    Madam Sun showed no mercy and cut her off. "Madam Wang, it¡¯s not like I want to talk about you, but you already failed to be a main wife, so forget about having your daughter be a consort. Otherwise, when you stir things up until your daughter became pregnant before marriage, so that His Majesty reluctantly had to bestow her to Fifth Prince as a concubine, even if she bes an imperial concubine in the future, the past will cause her to be forever unable to lift her head."


    After she finished speaking, she looked at her own daughter beside her. "Did you hear that, Yingxiang? A girl needs to be reserved and maintain dignity. You mustn¡¯t do those things which makes an exhibition of yourself. Otherwise, you father will beat you to death for sure."


    "Yes, I¡¯ll keep Mother¡¯s instruction in mind."


    Lecturing somebody to their face like that, this Madam Sun totally depended on her status as the most respectable person among those here. Otherwise, how would she dare to say these things?


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion darkened upon hearing these words. If this woman only talked about Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru, she could just ignore and forget about it. In any case, she didn¡¯t consider them to be her family members anyway. But to disy authority, this woman unexpectedly turned to step on her head. She¡¯s not going to take it sitting down!


    The atmosphere within the entire pavilion changed. No one praised the Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru mother and daughter anymore. Each and everyone of them turned docile. Those who were daring reluctantly forced themselves to go fawn on Madam Sun. There were also those who praised that Sun Yingxiang was dignified and graceful, noble and magnanimous, quite taking after her mother.


    "Madam Sun is indeed extremely strict in educating her children. No wonder she¡¯s the wife of the military department¡¯s lead envoy for five cities."


    Suddenly, only a single young woman¡¯s voice could be heard. Everyone looked towards the voice before they noticed that it belonged to the umunicative girl who had been sitting behind Wang Xue Ru. It¡¯s just that her skin was as bright as the snow, and she was strikingly beautiful. For a moment, no one could figure out how there was one more of such a remarkable girl in the General¡¯s Mansion.


    No one thought that she was in fact the general¡¯s second daughter. Who didn¡¯t know that Luo Qing Luan, the second Miss Luo, was tasteless and vulgar, as well as extremely ugly? Absolutely nothing like the youngdy before them.


    Surprise filled Madam Sun¡¯s eyes. Nevertheless, her daughter, Sun Yingxiang was the first to speak. "What, are you also someone from the General¡¯s Mansion?"


    "No matter who I am, I naturally can¡¯tpare to Miss Sun¡¯s noble status. My birth mother has already passed away, so I can¡¯tpare even more with Madam Sun¡¯s strict family education, having brought up such an educated and well-bnced daughter like Miss Sun."


    Once Wang Xue Ru heard Luo Qing Luan speak, she immediately berated her. "Qing Luan, how can you talk like that to Madam Sun? Still not apologizing to Madam Sun and Miss Sun? You really don¡¯t have any manners!"


    Once everyone heard this, they simply couldn¡¯t believe it.


    There was only one daughter in the General¡¯s Mansion named Luo Qing Luan. Could it possibly be this clever and bright youngdy before them? But that¡¯s impossible. Hasn¡¯t it always been said that the second daughter was unbearably ugly. Why was it that now, not only was she not ugly, she even overtook the oldest daughter by quite a distance?


    Although the status of those madams and youngdies at the scene could not be considered the most noble, who among them wasn¡¯t extensively experienced? With but a bit of thought, they already understood the reason well. It¡¯s very likely that the oldest Miss Luo envied her own younger sister, so she deliberately spread rumors to vilify her sister, right?


    Madam Sun became even more disdainful as she said levelly. "Madam Luo don¡¯t need to scold the second Miss Luo. I also would like to hear what she wants to say when all was said and done."


    Luo Qing Shuang actually became anxious and red ferociously at Luo Qing Luan, afraid that she¡¯ll say those things in public. If Luo Qing Luan put her on the spot and made her lose face, she¡¯s going to have Father properly give her sister a lesson.


    How could Luo Qing Luan not notice the gaze that turned towards her?


    However, she simply didn¡¯t look at Luo Qing Shuang and instead, she smiled faintly towards Madam Sun and spoke mildly. "I don¡¯t dare. This younger one just doesn¡¯t understand how is Madam Sun able to educate Miss Sun into such a magnanimous and refined youngdy, yet is unable to discipline your own son well? I heard that Mister Sun has always been reluctant to leave the pleasure quarters. He¡¯s already quite a few years older than twenty, yet not only does he have no schrly achievement, he¡¯s extremely adept instead at taking in minor concubines."


    Listening up to this point, Madam Sun¡¯splexion already changed greatly, yet Luo Qing Luan was still not finished. "It seems that recently, the capital has been abuzz with cacophonous talk that Mister Sun was again infatuated with a certain courtesan, creating a big disturbance, right?"

    Chapter 36B: Always Clever and Eloquent


    <h4></h4>


    "You¡¯re speaking nonsense!"


    Sun Yingxiang heard Luo Qing Luan say that about her brother and she yelled. "Stop ndering my brother. He isn¡¯t that kind of person!"


    "Oh~?" Luo Luan calmly and unhurriedly responded. "Then the day before yesterday, for the sake of winning Miss Meng¡¯spany, a leading courtesan at Heavenly Dream Tower, someone publicly got into a fight with another person in the middle of a busy street. In the end, that person even had Hu Cong break his adversary¡¯s leg. I heard that the person¡¯s name is Sun Feng. Don¡¯t tell me that he¡¯s not Miss Sun¡¯s brother?"


    "You......" Sun Yingxiang was at a loss for words, as herplexion blushed a deep red.


    Immediately, the upper-ss women and youngdies started whispering as they saw that Madam Sun¡¯splexion changedpletely.


    They were unlike Luo Qing Luan, who could go shopping in the streets at any time, so they had not heard of this matter before, but they discerned that Luo Qing Luan described everything extremely clearly. Moreover, this matter also happened in the middle of the street, so every one of them believed it.


    Previously, people even ttered her for educating her children well, setting a moralpass for them, yet now, Madam Sun¡¯s face had been pped. How could her face endure it? Even though she restrained herself, at this moment, she could no longer help but get angry.


    But everything Luo Qing Luan said was true. Even though she wanted to berate Luo Qing Luan, she could not find any grounds for doing so.


    "The Second Miss Luo is indeed clever and eloquent. However, this is my Sun family¡¯s personal affair and there¡¯s no need to trouble you."


    Madam Sun was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down, yet she could only suppress herself and continued coldly. "Moreover, men and women are not the same. If my son marries several women, that reflects his ability. I¡¯m also happy that he can spread more seeds to produce more offspring for the Sun family. However, you have been divorced by Fifth Prince. I don¡¯t know which family will dare to marry you in the future. It¡¯s better that you stay at home and learn more home arts. Perhaps there¡¯ll be a tiny bit of hope."


    This matter had always been something that Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang was most happy about. Even though Luo Qing Luan was currently helping them by speaking up, once this matter was brought up, it immediately gave them a dog-eat-dog feeling, a feeling of rejoicing in someone else¡¯s misfortune.


    Wang Xue Ru also didn¡¯t want to totally offend Madam Sun, so she immediately spoke. "Qing Luan, Madam Sun is right. Why don¡¯t you thank Madam Sun?"


    Luo Qing Luan was as before and did not get angry as she stood up, straightened her clothes, then turned towards Madam Sun. "Yes, thank you, Madam Sun, for your instructions. In the future, I must remember not to marry someone like Mister Sun and Envoy Sun, who are both men who loves to take in concubines. If it¡¯s like that, I¡¯d rather not marry so as to avoid bing as forlorn as Madam Sun."


    This information was something that Nangong Yu casually told Luo Qing Luan when she was at Heavenly Dream Tower. Otherwise, she also wouldn¡¯t have learned of it. Now, merely by mentioning this matter, Madam Sun¡¯s supremacy was suppressed and became an amusement for Luo Qing Luan, instead.


    Her own husband had been wanting to take in a younger wife. Madam Sun had been indignant and vexed about this matter, yet now, it¡¯s been revealed by Luo Qing Luan in front of everyone. Her previous anger had not even dissipated, so now, how could she still sit still?


    She got up as her face hardened and coldly retorted. "Madam Luo, this daughter of yours is truly quite impressive. Humph!" After she finished speaking, she brought Sun Yingxiang and left in a huff.


    "Madam Sun......Madam Sun!"


    Wang Xue Ru cried out in rm and yelled quite a few times wanting to call back Madam Sun, yet the other person didn¡¯t care and just left. She kept walking and vanished.


    Wang Xue Ru calmed her face and turned around. "Qing Luan, how can these things be something that an unmarried girl like you can talk about? No manners at all! Once we return home, I¡¯ll make sure to have your father properly scold you!"


    Even though she¡¯s been helped by Luo Qing Luan, Luo Qing Shuang didn¡¯t possess the slightest bit of gratitude. On the contrary, she hated Luo Qing Luan for ruining her friendship with Miss Sun, so she followed coldly with, "Younger Sister, in any case, this is Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, can you refrain from offending the guests I invited here? This is not the General¡¯s Mansion, so I ask that you restrain your ¡¯mistress disposition¡¯."


    She knew from the start that this older sister did not like her, but this mother and daughter pair became so hostile without taking into ount persons nor circumstances at all. Luo Qing Luan more or less also felt a bit unwell. However, she was unwilling to let everyone look upon the General¡¯s Mansion as aughingstock, so she only smiled faintly, and did not pay any more attention to them.


    Everyone observed everything while keeping their own counsel. They all felt that it¡¯s a bit strange. This second Miss Luo was apparently nothing like what the rumors say. Not only was she not ugly, she was actually intelligent and eloquent. Instead, it¡¯s the oldest Miss Luo who clearly was not only not grateful to her younger sister for having helped her, she even spoke to her coldly. Therefore, everyone became even more clear about something.


    Just at this time, a human voice sounded from the distance. The multitude of women turned towards the sound and saw Nangong Chen wearing a purple official robe and pearl crest on his head. In addition, apanying beside him was Luo Cheng, General Luo. They approached escorted by a crowd of servants.


    Even though there were only women inside this pavilion, Fifth Prince carried an identity as the host and should meet his guests, whereas Luo Cheng visited to see his own daughter, so he could also be considered as half a member of Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. There was nothing improper about theiring together.


    "Greeting to Fifth Prince, General Luo." The multitude of womenfolk expressed their greetings in session as required by propriety.


    Luo Qing Shuang weed them even earlier and pulled at Nangong Chen¡¯s hand in a cute and helpless looking manner before speaking coquettishly. "Chen, why are you here? Look, I¡¯m wearing the hairpin you gave me today, does it look good?"


    Nangong Chen drew her hand in and as he walked, he replied gently. "Yes, it looks good. You apanied the guests for such a long time, are you tired? Does your body feel any difort? Don¡¯t let it affect our son."


    "No. I¡¯ve merely been sitting down and chat a bit, that¡¯s all. That¡¯s right, my mother also came......"


    She had not finished speaking when Nangong Chen already noticed Wang Xue Ru standing by the side. He had just started to nod his head neither energetically nor indifferently when he suddenly saw Luo Qing Luan standing behind her. He couldn¡¯t help but be totally stunned.


    Last time, when he apanied Luo Qing Shuang to return to the bride¡¯s home, he abruptly saw Luo Qing Luan¡¯s true appearance. It practically startled him like she was a celestial being. He originally thought that she was a cousin of the General¡¯s Mansion, yet didn¡¯t expect that she was actually the fiancee that he just divorced. At that moment, he was so vexed that his intestines turned green*.

 Chapter 37 part1

    Chapter 37A: Flower Bestowment Feast


    <h4></h4>


    If he knew earlier that Luo Qing Luan was so stunning, how would Nangong Chen have been willing to cancel the engagement?


    When he returned home that evening, Nangong Chen questioned Luo Qing Shuang regarding what in the world happened to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s appearance. Because of this, the two of them even had a big argument. Seeing Luo Qing Luan again now, why would Nangong Chen even bother with Luo Qing Shuang. He even casted his respected father-inw aside as he quickly walked forward.


    Nangong Chen stood outside of the pavilion, a face full of smiles as he spoke to Luo Qing Luan. "Younger Sister Qing Luan, when did youe? I didn¡¯t know about it and has truly slighted you. Please don¡¯t take offense."


    With one nce at his smiling face and Luo Qing Luan felt disgusted as she replied indifferently. "I came together with Father¡¯s Concubine. Isn¡¯t Brother-in-Law greeting your guests out front? Why are you here?"


    Luo Cheng also walked over and spoke after he hardened his face. "Qing Luan, is this any way to talk to Fifth Prince? Are you still not paying the proper respects?"


    Nangong Chen immediately responded, "It¡¯s not a big deal, not a big deal. We¡¯re all one family. It¡¯s better to speak a bit more naturally, no matter."


    Coldly casting a nce at him, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t even want to respond as she turned her head away.


    Snagged on a nail, yet Nangong Chen didn¡¯t get angry in the least and instead he regretted even more how he previously had no eyes. When Luo Qing Shuang saw his anxious appearance, she ignited into anger on the spot and swung around to walk towards Luo Qing Luan. "Younger Sister, Chen is already no longer your fiance, so don¡¯t use that kind of expression to look at him anymore. He¡¯s my husband!"


    "Exactly! I ask that Elder Sister properly look after your man and don¡¯t have hime looking for me to chat." Luo Qing Luan retorted coldly.


    How could Luo Qing Shuang be a match for Luo Qing Luan? Herplexion immediately changed, as she charged towards Nangong Chen and shouted, "Chen, you¡¯re already married to me. What? You know that Younger Sister is pretty now, so you like her also? When you came home that day, you and I already got into an argument......"


    "That¡¯s enough!"


    Being stared at by everyone, including Luo Cheng and Wang Xue Ru at the scene, how would Nangong Chen want to get into an argument with Luo Qing Shuang. At once, his face hardened as he berated, "What are you making a fuss for? I¡¯ve merely said a couple of things to Second Sister. Don¡¯t tell me that this can¡¯t be done? Worry about your own belly. Why don¡¯t you return to rest."


    "Chen......" How could Luo Qing Shuang, who had always been pampered, endure getting scolded in public? She burst into tears.


    "Father-in-Law, Mother-in-Law, sorry you saw that. Qing Shuang is pregnant, so her temper is a bit irritable." When all was said and done, Nangong Chen also didn¡¯t want to be excessive, so he had no alternative but to restrain his temper and speak some kind words. "Alright, with so many visitors here, it won¡¯t look good to make a big fuss. The pregnancy is important, so return to your courtyard and take a nap. After a little while, you should have a meal."


    Seeing that Nangong Chen gave her a way out, Luo Qing Shuang also didn¡¯t want to get into an argument with him. She only red daggers at Luo Qing Luan before she allowed her servant maid to support her and left with Wang Xue Ru.


    In the end, Luo Qing Luan was actually left by herself. Even Luo Cheng didn¡¯t pay anymore attention to her. Fortunately, there was Dai Yue to keep herpany, and she also didn¡¯t mind. Without anyone to bother her, she felt quite tranquil.


    After returning from Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, for an entire half of a month, Luo Qing Luan basically stayed at her little courtyard and did not go out. When she finished writing a book, she would have Dai Yue take it to Boss Li. As for Heavenly Dream Tower......nowadays, its business was flourishing, raking in ten thousand taels of silver each day. Its poprity already spread throughout the entire capital. Even some merchants who came from East Wan Country, or South Yue also hung around Heavenly Dream Tower, reluctant to leave.


    Hongyu, Ruyan, and Shimeng, these three youngdies, had truly became the leading courtesans at Heavenly Dream Tower. There were endless numbers of people desiring to see them. Luo Qing Luan also snickered. Fortunately Nangong Yu listened to her and maintained a mysterious, lofty, unyielding posture, practically turning those three youngdies into goddesses.


    Men were indeed contemptible......


    Luo Qing Luanughed lightly as she shook her head and swept away her train of thought.


    A zither was ced in front of her, and her fingers stroked it lightly. As she picked the strings, sweet sounding, gentle zither music floated like the babbling of running water, echoing inside the little courtyard. Actually, it¡¯s not like she suddenly took a liking to zither music, but rather, she originally was already an expert zither yer in her previous incarnation and didn¡¯t want to get rusty. Therefore, she yed a bit when she was free and practiced a little.


    Speaking of the master from her previous life, the Ghost Doctor, he was truly a genius. His demeanor was elegant and graceful. Already over fifty years old, yet brimming with a masculine mature charm and as healthy as a man in his thirties. Not only was his medical skills top notch, even the four arts (zither, calligraphy, painting, Go), astronomy, geography, and all kinds of other skills were grasped by him. There was none that he wasn¡¯t proficient in.


    As the Ghost Doctor¡¯s sole disciple, Luo Qing Luan naturally had been trained by him in all kinds of skills ever since she was little. She was originally already innately highly talented. After learning for many years, she also achieved seventy or eighty percent of her master¡¯s abilities. It¡¯s too bad......


    The zither music gradually faded as Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hands stopped. She then took a bamboo flute that Dai Yue handed her and started blowing. The flute music was light, bright, and melodious as it started from her lips and rose upward, soaring into the sky, inducing a few little birds to fly onto the wall of the courtyard, twittering and echoing each other.


    Once the song ended, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand finally stopped. Dai Yue was filled with surprise as she approached. Although she had already heard her mistress disy numerous skills during this short period of time, she was increasingly amazed each time, causing her to have difficulty believing what she was seeing.


    In the past, her mistress had learned these things, but how was she as good as she was now? Could it be that her mistress was hiding her skills in the past, unwilling to let others be aware?


    "My Lady, Master has always said that girls should practice these things more and should be good at the four arts of zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, as well as needlework, so that they can find a good husband in the future. If the Master were to know that you¡¯re so skilled, he will be very happy for sure." Dai Yue spoke happily.


    Humph, would she care whether Luo Cheng was happy? Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently, "I¡¯m learning these skills not because I want to win anyone¡¯s favor. No matter if it¡¯s painting, writing, zither, or flute, these are all able to temper a person¡¯s character. Can it be that you don¡¯t feel that listening once in awhile also improves your mood?"


    Dai Yue didn¡¯t understand. She only knew that the mistress¡¯ zither sounded good and nodded immediately. "En, yes, yes, My Lady, My Lady is really awesome. In the future, I¡¯ll listen to you y music everyday......"


    Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped herself. She suddenly realized, "Oh! I know now. My Lady recently painted and practiced music everyday, Is it because you want to marry the crown prince?"

 Chapter 37 part2

    Chapter 37B: Flower Bestowment Feast


    <h4></h4>


    "Nonsense! Look at what you¡¯re saying now!" Luo Qing Luan feigned anger.


    Even though after she returned from the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansionst time, she didn¡¯t go out much to avoid Luo Cheng and Wang Xue Ru finding trouble with her everyday, so she was too bored. However, Dai Yue went out once in a while, so she still found out about the news that circted outside.


    Presently, the crown prince, Nangong Qing, had already reached a marriageable age and the current empress was preparing a Flower Bestowment Feast for him. She reckoned that it wouldn¡¯t be much longer before those noble-born youngdies would be invited to visit the imperial pce¡¯s back garden. Naturally, this was merely a way to select the best crown prince¡¯s consort in disguise, that¡¯s all.


    Nangong Qing¡¯s birth mother is actually not the current empress, but Empress Yao, who had already passed away. However, the current empress was actually his maternal aunt, and was also Empress Yao¡¯s female cousin. The current empress was equally concerned about him and pampered him. For the sake of Nangong Qing¡¯s marriage, she naturally demonstrated even more concern.


    Not to mention that Luo Qing Luan had never met the crown prince before. Even if she really met him before, she still wouldn¡¯t just casually like him. Moreover, Nangong Qing was the crown prince and the future emperor of Western Chu. He¡¯s bound to have a harem with numerous imperial concubines. How could she possibly marry this kind of man?


    "News has already spread that the empress is helping the crown prince chose a consort, but do you think that Father¡¯s Concubine will allow me to enter the pce to strive for this kind of opportunity?" Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t say what she was thinking, but analyzed the circumstances instead. "Elder Sister married Fifth Prince with great difficulty. If I truly attended the Flower Bestowment Feast, can it be that Father¡¯s Concubine isn¡¯t afraid that I might really be favored by the empress and be the crown prince consort? Wouldn¡¯t that be the same as stepping on Elder Sister¡¯s head?"


    "Oh. What My Lady said makes sense."


    Dai Yue¡¯s voice softened as she curled her lips. "The Side Madam dislikes you so much, she certainly won¡¯t allow you to go."


    In Luo Qing Luan¡¯s opinion, this matter will most likely just pass, but she absolutely never expected that because someone said a few words before His Majesty, she who originally never had a chance to attend the banquet, discovered before two days came to pass that Luo Cheng received an imperial decree directly from the empress.


    Wang Xue Ru was nearly angered to death when she looked at that golden yellow imperial decree in her hand, wishing that she could tear it to pieces, yet did not dare to. She could only twist her face and said in a strange voice. "Master, what do you think is going on? His Majesty already cancelled Qing Luan and Fifth Prince¡¯s engagement, yet now, the empress actually personally issued a decree to have her take part in the Flower Bestowment Feast. Can it be......the empress intends to make Qing Luan the Crown Prince¡¯s Consort?"


    If it was truly like that, then she would truly be angered to death!


    Her daughter had barely be the Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort with difficulty. Luo Qing Luan, this loathsome girl, was actually fancied by the empress? When did she enter Her Royal Highness, the empress¡¯ field of view?


    Luo Cheng also couldn¡¯t figure it out. Originally, he was also feeling ill when Luo Qing Luan was separated from Nangong Chen. After all, it could be considered a scandal within his General¡¯s Mansion. Now if it was true that Her Highness the empress fancied Luo Qing Luan, then it could also be considered a happy matter to be able to cling onto the crown prince, and his Luo family would take another step towards genuinely bing rtives with the emperor.


    He thought about it even further. If Luo Qing Luan gave birth to a little highness in the future and the crown prince became the emperor, then wouldn¡¯t he be the emperor¡¯s father-inw? Now that would indeed be a supreme honor!


    Thinking to this point, he smiled a rare smile. "Then that¡¯s good. After a few days, you should just bring Qing Luan there. Remember to remind her to maintain good etiquette and don¡¯t lose face in front of Her Highness the empress. Grasp this opportunity properly."


    Wang Xue Ru heard this and hate grew in her heart. Each of her fingers twisted, but she couldn¡¯t go against Luo Cheng¡¯s wishes and even more so, couldn¡¯t disobey the imperial decree. On the day of the Flower Bestowment Feast, she finally brought Luo Qing Luan into the pce to attend the banquet.


    "Qing Luan, we¡¯re probably headed towards the location of the imperial harem today. The empress will also be there. You absolutely can¡¯t be like you werest time and casually point out people¡¯s faults. Did you hear that?"


    Her tone of voice was iparably serious and even carried a trace of hypocritical concern. "Have you remembered what Father¡¯s Concubine just told you about paying attention to proper etiquette? You can¡¯t make any mistake by any means. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be cause for a beheading."


    How could she not know that Wang Xue Ru wanted to scare her on purpose, so that when she entered the pce, she¡¯d be nervous and anxious and make a fool out of herself instead? However, Luo Qing Luan originally had no interest in this Flower Bestowment Feast anyway. If it wasn¡¯t for the imperial decree, she would rather go y at Heavenly Dream Tower.


    After their carriage arrived at the gate to the pce, Luo Qing Luan and Wang Xue Ru were escorted by a pce maid. The walkways were lined with luxuriant flowers like the best brocade in brilliant purples and brilliant reds. There were endless gold and jade pavilions and kiosks in glorious splendor, yet were peaceful and dignified, simr to an imposing, tranquil national painting.


    Following along the walls were white jade reliefs, then ake whose surface rippled like blue jade, Luo Qing Luan finally entered the central area of the imperial harem, precisely the ce where the Flower Bestowment Feast will be held this time¡ª-Thousand Springs Garden.


    It¡¯s just that Luo Qing Luan never thought that the moment she came, she would see Luo Qing Shuang, who was already married. She was chatting andughing with another youngdy. Once the two of them turned their heads, they already saw her. Merely dazed for a short moment, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s lips turned into a smile as she walked towards Luo Qing Luan.

 Chapter 38 part1

    Chapter 38A: You Like Her?


    <h4></h4>


    "Mother, why are you here with Younger Sister?"


    Luo Qing Shuang was already married, so she no longer styled her hair like an unmarried youngdy. Her long hair wasbed and rolled up into a bun, while her favorite red ruby plum blossom hung in front of her forehead. She wore a full length apricot colored embroidered brocade of clouds and Chinese crab-apple flowers. A young woman¡¯s innocence lingered, yet there was also the seductive appearance of a mature woman.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the sneer filled with malicious intentions that shed through Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s eyes, Luo Qing Luan would¡¯ve really thought that the sun rose in the west today.


    "Even though today is the day of the Flower Bestowment Feast, her Highness the empress actually ns to choose a consort for the crown prince." Luo Qing Shuang appeared as if she was afraid people would hear her as she reminded Wang Xue Ru, "Mother, even though Younger Sister is not married, her engagement with Fifth Prince has been annulled by His Majesty previously. If the empress is reminded of this matter today, I¡¯m afraid......it won¡¯t be too good, right?"


    How could Wang Xue Ru not know of this point, but she simply couldn¡¯t make sense of why Her Highness the Empress still issued the imperial decree and insist upon Luo Qing Luan¡¯s attendance. Although it¡¯s unpleasant to think of it, she¡¯s afraid that a general¡¯s concubine like her is also merely basking in a bit of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s light. Otherwise, how would she be able to enter the imperial pce? Just thinking of this made her feel ill.


    After Luo Qing Shuang told Wang Xue Ru that, her heart constricted, nearly gnashing her teeth from jealousy. When did this loathsome younger sister of hers enter Her Highness the Empress¡¯ discerning eye? If the empress truly fancied her and she became the crown prince consort, wouldn¡¯t she step on her older sister under foot?


    Luo Qing Shuang couldn¡¯t help but continued sourly. "Mother, how¡¯s that possible? I¡¯m afraid that the empress doesn¡¯t know about Younger Sister¡¯s matter. Otherwise, how can she allow Younger Sister to participate in the Flower Bestowment Feast? If someone else were to speak of thister on, I¡¯m afraid that Her Highness the Empress will lose face."


    Disying an appearance of concern, she looked at Luo Qing Luan and said, "It¡¯s not that Elder Sister want to thwart you. Rather, I need to give thought to the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s reputation. You were previously engaged to Fifth Prince for so many years, and yet you came to attend His Highness the Crown Prince¡¯s banquet for choosing his consort. People in the know willugh at you for being a woman with two husbands."


    Luo Qing Luan already knew that her older sister¡¯s dog mouth was incapable of saying anything good, talking as if she was really already married and then divorced. Presently, her sister even wanted to climb towards the crown prince without any sense of shame. Luo Qing Luanughed coldly. "Elder Sister, you really don¡¯t have to worry so much, right? Something that even you know about, do you think that Her Highness the Empress won¡¯t know about?"


    "Also, such talk like one woman having two husbands shouldn¡¯te from the mouth of Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort. If other people wear to hear, don¡¯t let themugh at you for speaking like some boorish woman from the slums."


    "You......"


    Luo Qing Shuang was so angry that herplexion turned pale and her expression changed at once. "Younger Sister, I was actually reminding you out of kindness, so that you can avoid bringing shame to our General¡¯s Mansionter on in the presence of numerous royals and nobility. Yet you went as far as to......"


    "Elder Sister, since you¡¯re already married to Fifth Prince, and a married woman should follow her husband, you already belong to Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. You don¡¯t need to speak as if you¡¯re someone from your maiden home. Otherwise, people willugh at our General¡¯s Mansion for not teaching their children well. Father¡¯s Concubine, tell me, is this correct?"


    Taking an emotionless nce at Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan did not intend to give them the slightest bit of face.


    Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru were practically angered to death. In the past, when Luo Qing Luan was unbearably ugly, howe they not discover that she had such a glib tongue? Surprisingly, she caused them to be at a loss for words and stirred them to unbearable anger, as if she was another person altogether.


    Not wanting to allow Luo Qing Luan to speak any longer, Wang Xue Ru wanted to bring her away from this ce and avoid having her own daughter feel bad, but just as she started to speak, Luo Qing Shuang already could no longer endure.


    As the grand Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort, how could she allow the younger sister that she had always stepped under foot to bully her like that?


    "Luo Qing Luan, you dare to lecture me? I¡¯m actually your older sister. You said that I have poor upbringing, so aren¡¯t you scolding Father also?" Luo Qing Shuang¡¯splexion darkened as she coldly walked forward.


    No matter what, she¡¯s Fifth Prince¡¯s woman. Could it be that this repulsive girl dare to make a move against her? So long as she dared to contradict her again, she would certainly make a show of this repulsive girl. It¡¯d be a wonder if she didn¡¯t p her face a few times in the presence of these strangers and have her know who is actually the older sister!


    "Today is an important day when Her Highness the Empress entertains guests. If you are as rudeter as you are now, then don¡¯t me me......" As she spoke, she raised her hand with the attitude of wanting to teach someone a lesson.


    [That¡¯s truly strange. Was it possible that this sister of hers nned to hit her in the Inner Court? Was she really taking this ce for her Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion now? Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression chilled as she responded coldy. "What, Elder Sister wants to hit me?"


    "Don¡¯t think because your mother couldn¡¯t bear to hit you that I, this older sister of yours, also won¡¯t have the heart to teach you a lesson." Luo Qing Shuang disyed a face full of righteousness and moral correctness and continued resolutely. "The banquet today affects the reputation of the General¡¯s Mansion. If you continue to cause trouble, then as your eldest sister will very possibly take your deceased mother¡¯s ce today to properly......"


    Everything before this could be ignored, but once Luo Qing Shuang went as far as to bring up her mother, Luo Qing Luan was angered.


    If it wasn¡¯t for this mother and daughter pair sowing dissention in Luo Cheng¡¯s presence all the time and deliberately sullied her reputation, how would Luo Cheng treat her like that as her father? Even though Luo Cheng also had his own reason, Luo Qing Luan absolutely wouldn¡¯t forget how they treated her during these fifteen years.


    "You! Stop bringing up my mother!" She responded coldly.


    "What? If your mother hasn¡¯t passed away, and if my mother hadn¡¯t been too softhearted to teach you, would you be so openly presumptuous right now? You don¡¯t even have an inkling of the established standards that a daughter should have." Luo Qing Shuang shot off at her mouth again. Seeing the youngdy in front of her changeplexion, she became even happier.


    She indeed wanted to target the subject that Luo Qing Luan cared most about, the more painful the subject, the better. Otherwise, her younger sister would climb on her head again!

 Chapter 38 part2

    Chapter 38b: You Like Her?


    Her voice just dropped when Luo Qing Luan pped Luo Qing Shuang on the face.


    Heated scorching pain burned her face along with that clear and loud sound. Not only was Luo Qing Shuang startled with disbelief, even Wang Xue Ru and those women watching by the side were incessantly amazed.


    "Loathsome girl, you dare......"


    Wang Xue Ru¡¯s words of rebuke had not been spoken when Luo Qing Shuang already jumped up like a hen whose feathers exploded, pointing her finger and fuming with rage between gritted teeth. "You dare to p me? I¡¯m the Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort, yet you went as far as to dare to p me?"


    "If you mention my mother again, I¡¯ll p you yet again!" Luo Qing Luan retorted without the slightest hesitation.


    Somewhat in the distance, several pce maids waiting upon them were stupefied while watching. They didn¡¯t expect that someone dared to cause a disturbance in the Inner Courts, but they¡¯re merely very low ranking pce maids. How would they dare to step forward and mediate? Each and every one of them looked at each other in dismay, none daring to approach.


    As this was happening, a man dressed in magnificent blue colored robes walked leisurely towards them. Once the pce maid saw him, and also saw the person walking by his side, their minds cried in rm. They bent their knees in respect and was going to call out.


    The blue clothed man immediately stopped them. "No need. All of you can withdraw."


    The pce maids were stunned by the pardon and promptly retreated.


    He blue clothed man was precisely the leading figure of this Flower Bestowment Festival, Crown Prince, Nangong Qing. He was originally idle with nothing to do, so he came over to visit his empress mother. Midway there, he chanced upon Nn Ye and asked him to walk together.


    Turning his head, Nangong Qing was just about to speak when he noticed unexpectedly that Nn Ye was staring unblinkingly, apparently looking at something. He became curious. Looking in the direction of Nn Ye¡¯s line of sight, he noticed a female standing along the bank of Thousand Lotus Lake in front of them. There were two youngdies who seemed to be arguing heatedly over something.


    Nangong Qing looked at Nn Ye again, and saw that his gaze had not moved at all. Even more curious, he asked, "Ye, what are you looking at with so much interest? Can it be that you know that youngdy up ahead?"


    Who didn¡¯t know that Prince of Chu Nn Ye had always been uninterested in women? Especially during the recent period of time, it¡¯s been rumored that he was homosexual. Were it not for the fact that the two of them were privately very good friends, he would¡¯ve truly wondered whether Nn Ye preferred males.


    Based on his current appearance, was it probable that he liked the girl before them?


    Watching in all seriousness, Nangong Qingughed. "Isn¡¯t that Fifth Brother¡¯s newly acquired minor concubine, the eldest daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion, Luo Qing Shuang? However, the one next to her..."


    He automatically ignored the yellow clothed female next to Luo Qing Shuang. As his gaze fell on Luo Qing Luan, with only a nce, his eyes couldn¡¯t help but shine. What an exquisitely beautiful woman!


    Just as he wanted to ask Nn Ye if he was acquainted with this woman, Nangong Qing¡¯s gaze suddenly constricted.


    Before them, Luo Qing Shuang was already on the verge of flipping out. After this sentence of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s shot at her, how could she still remember that this was the imperial pce? Her face twisted as she immediately charged at Luo Qing Luan with arms raised in front to give a ferocious push. "You dare to hit me?"


    Recently, Luo Qing Luan was no longer the person she used to be, as she continually used acupuncture to nurture her body. Early morning everyday, she even exercised in her courtyard. Although she couldn¡¯tpare to the men, Luo Qing Shuang was already far from being a match for her.


    With a sidestep, Luo Qing Shuang pushed towards nothing and staggered instead, nearly falling down.


    The hairpin on her head rocked and dropped to the ground, while a strand of her long hair tumbled down. Luo Qing Shuang panted for breath,plexion turning from white to red, bing even more violently furious, cursing in rage. "Luo Qing Luan, damn girl, you dare to dodge..."


    Behind that loathsome girl was Thousand Lotus Lake. If she couldn¡¯t push her into the water this time, her name wasn¡¯t Luo Qing Shuang!


    Thinking this, she already charged forward in small quick steps.


    Seeing Wang Xue Ru standing by the side, allowing Luo Qing Shuang to lecture her, Luo Qing Luanughed coldly. During the moment Luo Qing Shuang charged over thinking of pushing her into the water again, Qing Luan quickly and nimbly grabbed her wrist.


    "Elder Sister, this is the imperial pce, the empress cane at any time. If she happens to see, our entire family will be implicated by you. If Elder Sister¡¯s mind is getting fuddled, you had better quickly sober up."


    After she spoke, she advanced forward, forcing Luo Qing Shuang to involuntarily retreat repeatedly. Luo Qing Shuang moved as quick as lightning and suddenly pressed upon her shoulder, forcing her to continue to retreat. Seeing that beside them was a thicket of rose bushes, sheughed lightly then pushed Luo Qing Shuang over.


    "Ah¡ª-"


    All of the sharp fine thorns on countless dense branches stabbed into Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s body as she opened her mouth wide and produced a blood-curdling scream.


    Withdrawing her hand, Luo Qing Luan noticed Wang Xue Ru¡¯s big change in expression and stated emotionlessly. "It¡¯s better if Elder Sister is a bit more clear-headed. In any case, a person won¡¯t die from being stabbed by these thorns. It¡¯s sometimes good to be in a bit of pain."


    After she spoke, she no longer looked at Wang Xue Ru¡¯s deathly pale face and just left by herself.


    Hearing her daughter¡¯s unceasing painful cries as she struggled in the flowering bushes, Wang Xue Ru was stunned for a while before she finally reacted with a loud shriek. "Ah¡ª- Help! Someonee, help¡ª-"


    A few pce maids rushed over helter-skelter, but were obstructed by the rose thicket and were flustered and confused for quite some time, before they found a bamboo pole to push away the thornful flowers. They then cautiously rescued Luo Qing Shuang.


    Watching this scene all along, Nangong Qing was stunned at first, then switched toughing heartily.


    As His Highness the Crown Prince, the women who he ordinarily saw, besides his several noble sisters, or the low-ss servants and courtesans, who among them weren¡¯tposed when they saw him. They¡¯re either witty, or charming, or lovely and affectionate, but there was not a single one who was as bold as that white clothed youngdy, nor as direct in speech and action.


    From the sound of their voices, they ought to be sisters? She was unexpectedly so daring as to push her own pregnant sister elder sister into the rose bushes inside the imperial pce, prickling her into so much pain? Indeed reckless enough to charge the heavens!


    Nangong Qing also realized what the identity of the youngdy dressed in white was. She ought to be the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s other youngdy, Luo Qing Luan. He also heard about his fifth brother¡¯s marriage annulment before, but he didn¡¯t expect that this girl who his fifth brother had rejected to actually stand out from the masses so much. Not only did she not cause him to feel dislike, on the contrary, his curiosity was intensely aroused.


    "Ye, the person who you¡¯ve been watching just now should probably be this second Miss Luo, right?" Nangong Qing saw that Nn Ye finally withdrew his gaze and continued probingly. "You......it should be unlikely that you like this second Miss Luo?"

 Chapter 39 part1

    Chapter 39a: Incurred Jealousy


    When ites to the country of West Chu, who could be in a position to converse on a somewhat personal level with Prince of Chu, Nn Ye. Besides His Majesty bringing forward such a topic, only the Crown Prince, Nangong Qing would do so.


    The two people¡¯s ages were simr. One was schrly, while the other was military. Even though their personalities were totally different, they were actually able to form a friendship in a crazy way. This was also due to Nn Ye finding Nangong Qing to be pleasing to the eyes. Otherwise, based on his temperament, not many people coulde close to him.


    Facing Nangong Qing¡¯s slightly teasing tone, Nn Ye coldly swept him with re. "What do you think?"


    "If you¡¯re not looking at the second Miss Luo, is it possible that you¡¯re looking at the eldest Miss Luo?" The smiling expression within Nangong Qing¡¯s eyes quickly disappeared. He couldn¡¯t help but tease this old friend of his who ordinarily liked to disy a face as rigid as a board. "This won¡¯t do. The eldest Miss Luo is already married and is Fifth Younger Brother¡¯s minor concubine. Oh, it seems she¡¯s already with child and has been promoted to a side consort. But Ye, you must not fall for her......"


    He only felt an ice-cold gaze sweeping over him. Nangong Qing shivered from head to toe and was no longer able to continue speaking.


    Nn Ye only presented him with a view of his back, since he already walked in front of him, not taking the crown prince, Nangong Qing, seriously at all. Thetterughed bitterly. Even he was at a loss when faced with Nn Ye, even though he was already a crown prince. His identity was iparably respectable, but each and every one of those brothers of his was not easy to deal with. He still had to depend on Nn Ye and certainly could not allow him to be snatched away by those brothers.


    Promptly following the other, Nangong Qing uttered. "Ye, where are you doing? Wait for me."


    Besides going to find Luo Qing Luan, what else would Nn Ye be doing?


    He originally thought that this Flower Bestowment Feast was awfully boring, but the empress had spoken. He more or less needed to give her face. By happy coincidence, he actually met Luo Qing Luan again, this little wild cat. Nn Ye immediately perked up.


    Thatss had the pregnant Fifth Prince Side Consort, her own sister no less, pushed into the rose bushes, while she herself strutted swaggeringly away. As expected, she had quite the temper. If he didn¡¯t go up and take a look, wouldn¡¯t he be missing such an amusing show?


    Having been followed at a distance, Luo Qing Shuang wasn¡¯t aware at all that she had already fallen into Nn Ye¡¯s line of sight.


    This rear garden was so big, filled with every kind of blooming flowers and magnificent scenery. The fragrance of a multitude of flowers even floated in the air. There was a different scent in each area. She had merely walked for a moment before seeing all kinds of chrysanthemums, sweet and fragranturel trees, and a crab-apple forest as bright red as a zing fire.


    This truly deserved to be the imperial pce¡¯s garden. Compared to the garden within the General¡¯s Mansion, it¡¯s more magnificent by at least ten times.


    Today was Her Highness the Empress¡¯ Flower Bestowment Festival, so the pce maids knew that there would be more youngdies from the nobility, government officials, and regional lords visiting than usual. Even though Luo Qing Luan was by herself, she was dressed in immacte white, serene and exquisite beyondpare, with a wless carriage. Not only did no one dare to obstruct her, those who saw hering even greeted her courteously continually.


    Luo Qing Luan was originally engrossed with her stroll, but she encountered four or five groups of aristocratic youngdies in a row, each and every one of whom sneered at her with cool gazes. Although they didn¡¯t step forward to approach nor humiliate her, every one of them looked at her from afar. The ridicule and disdain in their expressions along with their envy very quickly caused her to lose interest in continuing her stroll.


    Vaguely somewhere in front of her, there seemed to be the sound of cheerful music approaching, floating and scattering in the air. It sounded pretty good. Luo Qing Luan smiled and walked towards the direction of the sound of the music.


    After passing through a walkway of smooth limestone and following along a path lined with thousands of longevity pines growing neatly on both sides, Luo Qing Luan very quickly saw in front of her, a rock garden which appeared to have been set up with numerous light and airy curtains. In her eyes, the scene was like a brocade of luxuriant flowers with every color under the sun. In the surroundings, countless numbers of eunuchs and pce maids were even standing in service. Seated in the position at center and front was a poised and noble young woman. Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but wonder. Was it possible that she had arrived at the location of Her Highness the Empress¡¯ Flower Bestowment Festival?


    Then this was truly coincidental. She¡¯d arrived without requiring anyone to lead the way. In any case, she came to attend the Flower Bestowment Festival anyway, and Luo Qing Luan was also a little bit tired, so she approached softly and found an empty seat by the side to sit down. Seeing the fruits and pastries spread on the table top, she also didn¡¯t hold back and grabbed some to sample. She ate as she listened to a young girl of about sixteen years old strumming the zither at the center of the garden.


    The music from the zither was like creek water burbling, not bad. Luo Qing Luan finally rxed as she ate and listened to the music.


    Once the tune ended, the youngdy ying the zither stood up slowly andcently as she faced towards Empress Wang sitting at center wearing a phoenix crest and curtsied. The empress lifted her hand and smiled as she nced left and right. "You may rise."


    "Thank you, Your Highness."


    Empress Wang was probably about thirty years old, but she took good care of herself and looked to be no different than a young woman. Her skin was as fair and soft as water. A pair of phoenix shaped eyes smiled gently. On her wrist was the purest, clearest jade bracelet iid with pearls and fine threads of gold, making her look even more dignified, grand, refined, and noble.


    Smiling faintly, she faced that young girl and said. "You¡¯re indeed the granddaughter of Wen Changde, the Director of the Board of Rites?"


    Once the young girl heard, she bowed her head and looked down, replying softly. "Responding to Your Highness the Empress, your servant is Wenwan. My grandfather is precisely Wen Changde, the Director of the Board of Rites.?


    "You truly deserve to be his granddaughter. As expected, you yed ¡¯Autumn Geese of Pinghu County¡¯ quite well. Listening makes a person carefree and rxed, as if the weather became somewhat more cool and refreshing."


    As she said this, Empress Wang suddenly thought of something. Her originally smiling face became somewhat emotional as she sighed and continued. "It¡¯s a pity. I remembered that in the past, Elder Sister mentioned that Madam Luo from the General¡¯s Mansion was quite the zither yer. Her music was truly the sounds of nature, difficult to encounter in the human world. I never had the chance to hear it, yet Madam Luo already......"

    Chapter 39b: Incurred Jealousy


    <h4></h4>


    By her side, Imperial Consort Song immediately consoled. "Elder Sister*, don¡¯t be sad, even though Madam Luo has passed away, being able to have Elder Sister remember her in this way can be considered a blessing. Today is indeed a big day, Elder Sister should be a bit happier."


    (TN: * The consorts referred to each other as ¡¯sisters¡¯ and do not necessarily have blood rtions.)


    Nodding her head, Empress Wang was just about to say something when she suddenly remembered and looked into the crowd. "En, that day, His Majesty said that he wanted to see General Luo¡¯s daughter, Luo Qing Luan. I even personally had somebody send word to the General¡¯s Mansion. I wonder if today, that Miss Luo......has shee?"


    Everyone knew that the empress actually set up the Flower Bestowment Festival today in order to allow the crown prince to choose a consort. All of the youngdies who admired the crown prince, Nangong Qing, itched to be able to exhibit their talent, so that the empress would fancy them. They were all eager to give it a try.


    Who would¡¯ve thought, Her Highness the Empress actually brought up Luo Qing Luan in public. Even His Majesty the Emperor mentioned her before. How could jealousy not birth in their hearts?


    Just like Empress Wang, each and every one of the upper ss youngdies looked left and right. They all wanted to know what kind of devastatingly beautiful youngdy that Miss Luo was, to be able to enter the empress and emperor¡¯s eyes, when all was said and done.


    Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t the least bit mentally prepared. She was right in the middle of eating something. Who would¡¯ve thought that Empress Wang¡¯s one sentence would cause everyone to fire their gazes towards her?


    The few women who previously attended the banquet at Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion already recognized Luo Qing Luan, and those who had not met her were guided by those who knew, so they all noticed Luo Qing Luan.


    Today¡¯s Flower Bestowment Festival was so important, it concerned these youngdies in attendance¡¯s future destiny. Who among them wasn¡¯t sitting upright and still, disying their sweet-temperedposure to the greatest extent possible, hoping that the empress will fancy them? When everyoneid eyes on the second Miss Luo, who the empress mentioned and was looking for expectantly, they discovered that she was surprisingly eating something in this public setting filled with numerous people. Not only that, she was using her hand to brush away some crumbs at the corners of her mouth. Immediately, they exposed a disdainful expression.


    "This is really Luo Qing Luan? The daughter of the main wife in the General¡¯s Mansion?"


    "How uneducated she is, surprisingly so embarrassing, eating with crumbs all over her mouth!"


    "She looks like she hasn¡¯t ever eaten before, surprisingly so improper......simply shameless!"


    Countless whispers echoed, passing from one person¡¯s ear to another, tongues wagging freely. Furthermore, they didn¡¯t try to conceal their disgust spreading across their faces as they sneered and pointed to Luo Qing Luan, their expressions and mannerisms were as if her actions were beneath their dignity. The scene immediately became noisy.


    Luo Qing Luan also started to react, so many people were watching her? She was quietly and peacefully eating. What kind of thing was this?


    Her hand also stopped subconsciously as Luo Qing Luan perceived everyone¡¯s expressions. She then already knew what was going on.


    "What are you looking at?"


    Turning to look at a youngdy dressed in green sitting closest to her, Luo Qing Luan finished eating the piece of osmanthus ky pastry in her hand, then changed to a piece of thousandyers cake as she spoke indifferently. "Do you also want to eat some? If so, get them yourself, don¡¯t look at me, alright?"


    Looking down on her, that green dressed youngdy covered her mouth with her silk handkerchief andughed with derision as she replied with disgust. "With so many people looking on, I¡¯m certainly not as vulgar as the second Miss Luo."


    "Lacking in upbringing, the splitting image of a starving ghost." She even muttered another string of words before turning around and no longer looked at Luo Qing Luan.


    Luo Qing Luan acted as if she did not hear these ridiculing words and said calmly. "Today is the day that Her Highness the Empress holds a feast. She¡¯d prepared so many fine pastries to entertain all of you. Even if you guys don¡¯t eat, you unexpectedly say that I¡¯m vulgar andck an upbringing? Doesn¡¯t this mean that you¡¯re saying that Her Highness has made arrangements inappropriately and has deliberately prepared so many delicacies so that everyone can be humiliated when eating them?"


    With one sentence, all of the upper-ss youngdies changed expressions. Thebel pinned on them was a big one!


    If wasn¡¯t refined to eat in front of everybody, but not eating anything was to betray the Empress¡¯ kind intentions. Actually, all of the banquets in the past were basically this way, and no one cared about it. However, this time, contrary to expectations, Luo Qing Luan put things this way and not a single person was able to find any fault with what she said.


    "I, I.....how could I have this intention? Don¡¯t you randomly use me." The youngdy in green who spoke previously panicked, nearly wanting to weep out loud. She merely wanted to lower Luo Qing Luan¡¯s dominance. Who could have imagined that one sentence stirred up an incident, putting everyone at fault.


    Now that Empress Wang saw Luo Qing Luan, why would she care about these things. She smiled faintly. "Are you Luo Qing Luan, the daughter of General Luo¡¯s main wife?"


    The empress had spoken. Luo Qing Luan had no choice but to stand up and curtsey in formal greeting. "In reply to You Highness the Empress, this servant is Luo Qing Luan. Your Highness¡¯ pastries are truly pretty good. Which chef made them?"


    The group of youngdies nearly fainted from hearing this. This Luo Qing Luan was really too brazen. She went as far as to ask the empress a question? Yet unexpectedly, not only did Empress Wang not be angry, she beckoned with her hand instead. "If you like eating them, thene over here. There are even more by my side. Youe and try them."


    "Yes, thank you Your Highness." Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t make a show of being overly courteous as she walked to Empress Wang¡¯s side. The pce maids immediately produced a brocaded low stool, allowing her to sit on it.


    This kind of scene made the rest of the youngdies both annoyed and envious. Luo Qing Luan merely ate a piece of pastry, yet unexpectedly able to sit beside the empress? If they had known earlier, they would have rather eaten everything on their tables.


    Eventually, someone was no longer able to bear it. Actually, it was the mother of that youngdy who was ying the zither, the daughter-inw of the Director of the Board of Rites, the assistant Imperial Censor, Wen Kangning¡¯s wife.


    Madam Wen stood up and paid respects to Empress Wang while saying. "Your Highness, this servant has actually heard mention of Madam Luo¡¯s zither skills in the past. Didn¡¯t Your Highness say that you regret very much never having heard her zither before?"


    As she spoke, she took a look at Luo Qing Luan and continued smilingly. "Since the second Miss Luo is Madam Luo¡¯s daughter, perhaps she has inherited some of her mother¡¯s talent. How about the second Miss Luo y a tune here and allow Her Highness to hear it, filling her blessed ears, wouldn¡¯t that be nice?"

 Chapter 40 part1

    Chapter 40a: All Interested in Her?


    <h4></h4>


    Although Luo Qing Luan had recovered her appearance, and was no longer utterly ugly at present, not a single person believed that the rumored stupid, ignorant second Miss Luo, who only knew how to be a love-struck fool could be capable of any level of mastery towards the zither.


    ¡¯Having benefited¡¯ from Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru¡¯s spreading of rumors in the past among numerous young women from prestigious families, in the upper-ss women folk¡¯s eyes, the second Miss Luo from General Luo¡¯s family was precisely a young woman undeserving of her noble position. As a matter of fact, she daydreamed about Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen, all day long and was apletely infatuated idiot.


    Nowadays, even though she had changed her appearance, their impression of many years had prated deep into their bone marrow. Wanting to reverse their perception within this short period of time based only on a few words from Luo Qing Luan just now was impossible.


    On the surface, this Madam Wen was saying that Luo Qing Luan should have inherited her mother¡¯s talent and was also a talented daughter from a noble house. However, everyone could tell that this was to lead her into disgracing herself in front of the empress, that¡¯s all.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s previous words made everyone feel ashamed. Presently, everyone rejoiced in hering misfortune, looking forward to seeing her also shaming herself.


    Even though she quite loathed Luo Qing Luan, only Wang Xue Ru minded. If Luo Qing Luan really disgraced herself, as Luo Qing Luan¡¯s Father¡¯s Concubine, her face would also be affected. In her panic, she immediately stood up and said flustered, "Your Highness the Empress, our Qing Luan don¡¯t know how to y the zither. Her mother passed away early, yet I have no ability, so I have no way of teaching her these things. Your Highness, please don¡¯t let her embarrass herself, is that alright?"


    Madam Wen became annoyed and responded coldly. "What, Her Highness wished to hear Madam Luo¡¯s zither, but is unable to do so. Presently, is it not eptable for Miss Luo to represent her mother in ying a tune, so that Her Highness can take pleasure in it? The arrogance of you people from the General¡¯s Mansion is truly great!"


    After she spoke, she cast a meaningful nce at her daughter, Wen Wan, who was still standing at the center of the performing area as before. Thetter understood thoroughly and immediately suggested gently. "If Your Highness would still like to listen, this servant is willing to perform a tune for Your Highness."


    If she could reveal her skills sufficiently and leave a good impression with the empress, wouldn¡¯t her chance to be chosen as crown prince consort be greater?


    Once she thought of this, Wen Wan immediately disyed a natural and gracious appearance, spreading a gentle and agreeable smiling expression across her entire face, brimming with expectation as she waited for Empress Wang to speak.


    "I was merely speaking without giving it much thought, never mind."


    Empress Wang smiled gently, and finally opened her mouth to continue. "However, since Miss Wen is willing, then while......"


    Unexpectedly, a clear and attractive voice sounded. Luo Qing Luan grinned as she looked towards Empress Wang. "Your Highness, you¡¯ve invited me to eat your desserts. It¡¯s fitting that I should y a tune for you. I wonder what song Your Highness would like to hear?"


    Wen Wan originally felt overjoyed and prepared to sit down, she¡¯d now been interrupted by Luo Qing Luan. The gentle smile originally on her face immediately could no longer be maintained as her mouth twitched continually. A trace of resentment shed through her eyes.


    "Oh, does Miss Luo really know how to y?" Empress Wang was apparently somewhat curious.


    "As long as Your Highness don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll just casually y a tune." Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t mind at all as she walked towards the performing area.


    "Qing Luan, don¡¯t cause trouble. When did you know how to y music?" Wang Xue Ru started turning pale from fright and promptly blocked her.


    Empress Wang smiled gently as she said. "It¡¯s no matter. It¡¯s fine to just y as you wish." How could she not perceive the tug of war between the two youngdies previously? However, she was indeed just a bit curious, that¡¯s all.


    Back then, when she was merely the previous empress¡¯ cousin, she asionally heard her cousin mention Madam Luo¡¯s zither skills. Presently, she met Luo Qing Luan, who not only had grown up beautifully and elegantly, her temperament was moreover frank and straightforward. As a matter of fact,pared to those young girls who she ordinarily met, whose minds makes several turns, disying pretenses when facing her, this youngdy was much better.


    Having heard the empress speak, Wang Xue Ru no longer dared to say more and only red fiercely at Luo Qing Luan before sitting back down.


    Standing at the center of the performance area, Luo Qing Luan said, "Is this Miss Wen? May I trouble you to lend me the use of your zither?"


    In front of so many people, how could Wen Wan refuse? She also didn¡¯t say anything, expression turning cold as she walked to sit down beside her mother. She rigidly pulled on Madam Wen¡¯s handkerchief, such that her hand clenched.


    Luo Qing Luan sat down, then her fingertips lightly plucked the zither strings as she tuned a few of them, already starting to n in her mind.


    She didn¡¯t know which songs were popr during this era, nor did she have the spare time to look into it. She naturally could only y the songs she already knew.


    Among the ssical famous zither music that she knew, she was most familiar with a piece of music called ¡¯Water Lotus¡¯. At the moment, her fingertips lightly twirled and melodious, sweet-sounding zither music already floated upwards.


    Immediately, lively, bright and clear sounds suddenly echoed. Those people waiting for Luo Qing Luan to disgrace herself were startled, yet was immediately drawn by the zither music. They subconsciously followed that beautiful tune and listened attentively.


    It¡¯s unknown how many times she practiced the zither in her previous incarnation, since she had invested no small amount of time. Luo Qing Luan focused her mind and suddenly threw her heart into the world of zither music.


    Her skilled finger techniques was simply devoid of any sense of an amateur. The second Miss Luo who was utterly vulgar in everyone¡¯s eyes was actually a performer at the moment for everyone¡¯s enjoyment. In the wake of the rising cheerful music, everyone seemed as if they¡¯re seeing a field of lotuses in the distance, pink lotus blossoms swaying lightly as they¡¯re caressed by the breeze, tranquil, pure and clean, slender and elegant, sweetly fragrant.


    Moreover, this tune was one which none of them had ever heard before, yet was a tune with a polished style, an integral whole in and of itself, totally not something which could¡¯ve been casually created. Some people were endlessly amazed. No matter how, they could not figure out which master had written this music, so they couldn¡¯t help but look to the smiling Luo Qing Luan and make a guess.


    This second Miss Luo was so young, yet not only could she y the zither, she could evenpose? Surprisingly so incredible?


    The music gradually lightly slowed down, the lingering sounds rising in spirals before gradually fading away. Luo Qing Luan finished ying the piece, stood up to face Empress Wang, and bowed. Thetter was stunned for quite a while before bing clear-headed again. "Good, good, Qing Luan, what is this song of your called? Why have I never heard it before?"

    Chapter 40b: All Interested in Her?


    <h4></h4>


    The country of West Chu seriously did not have this song? Luo Qing Luan smiled in a slightly strange manner as she replied. "This song is called ¡¯Water Lotus¡¯, does Your Highness like it?"


    Empress Wang nodded and smiled in reply. "En, I like it very much, did youpose it?"


    Everyone¡¯s gazes were focused on Luo Qing Luan, each and everyone harboring their own suspicions.


    "I didn¡¯tpose it."


    Luo Qing Luan actually disdained taking credit for someone else¡¯s work, but she also had no way of clearly exining the circumstances. She was suddenly struck by an idea and made up a story. "Maybe it¡¯s because this servant likes lotuses. I once had a dream and in that dream, I heard someone y this tune. After I woke up, I remembered it."


    "This surprisingly is a dream granted by a celestial being?" Empress Wang was both startled and delighted. "Qing Luan, you¡¯re very blessed, such a wonderful piece of music. Sure enough, it can only be something present in heaven. How many mortals can have a chance to taste it. You need to continue practicing diligently, so as not to be out of practice."


    Noble Consort Song alsoughed. "Elder Sister, I just recalled something. Didn¡¯t Chen¡¯er recently take the eldest daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion to be his concubine? In regards to personal rtionships, the second Miss Luo can also be considered to be someone among my younger generation. To have such an outstanding junior is truly not bad at all."


    "Qing Luan, whenever you have free time, you can also visit the Fifth Prince¡¯s mansion more and spend time with your elder sister. It¡¯s good for two sisters to be close to each other."


    "Yes, Noble Consort."


    Even though she replied this way, Luo Qing Luan did not feel like going. If she truly met with Luo Qing Shuang, she¡¯s afraid the two of them would only loathed each other even more. However, her face wouldn¡¯t express this in the slightest, as she replied submissively.


    "Humph, what dream granted by a celestial. Imperial Mother is truly giving her face."


    A young girl beside Empress Wang spoke up.


    "Wan¡¯er, don¡¯t be rude."


    The young girl red at Luo Qing Luan with an attitude of disdain beneath contempt, then no longer looked at her anymore.


    Wan¡¯er? Could it be that this was West Chu¡¯s third princess, Nangong Wan? Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t care about the girl who was even younger than herself, ustomed to being spoiled since birth. She was disinclined to care.


    Since Empress Wang thought up an exnation for the song, a gift from a celestial, then she was also able to avert unnecessary exnations. And those upper-ss youngdies standing in the surroundings, each of them felt even more hate, clenching their teeth. They absolutely didn¡¯t believe the bit about a celestial, but they truly had never heard this music before, so they also had no alternative, but be quiet.


    While everyone¡¯s eyes burned with envy, Empress Wang pulled Luo Qing Luan to sit by her side as she asked. "Qing Luan, how old are you this year?"


    Was she indeed inquiring about age to help the crown prince understand Luo Qing Luan¡¯s circumstances?


    Every single youngdy who admired Nangong Qing became even more jealous and anxious, wishing they could charge forward and pull Luo Qing Luan away from Empress Wang¡¯s side, then take her ce.


    Once Luo Qing Luan heard this question, her heart immediately jumped, before she was able to react. Today¡¯s Flower Bestowment Festival was arranged by Empress Wang to select a consort for the crown prince. Where did this wind blow from all of a sudden? She immediately became vexed.


    "Replying to Your Highness, this servant is fifteen years old this year." Her voice became a few notches softer.


    "What do you usually like?"


    "I like......"


    Luo Qing Luan hesitated. Could it be that she¡¯s really going to frankly state that she liked to write racy romances to make money? But besides this, she really didn¡¯t have any other hobbies? Or should she simply lie, and say that she liked to y the zither, draw, embroider? Oh my god, if she truly were to do these things everyday, she would be better off dead!


    "Don¡¯t tell me that Elder Sister took a liking to the second Miss Luo? How good that would be." Noble Consort Song covered her mouth andughed.


    During this pause, and eunuch suddenly lengthened his voice and shouted. "The crown prince has arrived, Prince of Chu has arrived."


    Everyone turned their heads to look, especially those aristocratic and noble daughters who harbored designs. Sure enough, they caught sight of the charming and heroic, imposing Nangong Qing approached. With merely a nce at the faintly smiling expression on his face, and each of the young girls suddenly became bashful. One after another, they lowered their heads and called out simultaneously. "Greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Prince of Chu."


    Even though some people also secretly stole a nce at Nn Ye,pared to Nangong Qing, his ce in the youngdies¡¯ hearts was really not the same.


    That¡¯s not to say that no one liked Nn Ye, rather he was really too cold, too scary!


    In the past, Western Chu¡¯s third princess, Nangong Wan, Nangong Qing¡¯s younger sister, had always secretly held affections of Nn Ye. Counting on her identity as a princess, she gathered the courage to express her feelings and even meticulously dressed up. The result......


    It was unknown whether Nangong Wan¡¯er foolishly became too annoying, but Nn Ye straightforwardly had people throw her out of his Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion, humiliating her on the spot. After this event, Nangong Wan¡¯er was unbearably angry and wept as she looked for her imperial father. The result was that this matter was settled by being unsettled.


    Henceforth, there was no other female who dared to openly express their feelings to Nn Ye. No matter how much they liked him, like today, at most, they would stealthily steal a few nces at him, not daring in the least bit to allow him to find out.


    "Greetings Your Highness the Empress." Nn Ye spoke emotionlessly and bowed before standing to the side. One could not tell what he his frame of mind was.


    "Yeqing don¡¯t need to be too polite. Do sit down." Empress Wang saw that Nangong Qing hade and also called for him to sit down. She was originally going to properly ask Luo Qing Luan about her circumstances, but it¡¯s good this way, too. It¡¯s even more fitting for Nangong Qing to do so himself.


    "Qing¡¯er, this is the second Miss Luo from the General¡¯s Mansion, Luo Qing Luan." Empress Wang smiled as she spoke.


    Nangong Qing originally came, because he was tracking down Luo Qing Luan. A moment ago, he heard her breathtaking music and couldn¡¯t help but approach. Now that he saw that Empress Wang also took note of her, he was secretly rejoicing even more.


    "Turns out it¡¯s Miss Luo."


    Nangong Qing continued. "Just now, Ziqing and I heard your zither music from a distance. It was so splendid, arousing our curiosity, so we came to take a look. Who would have thought that it¡¯s actually Miss Luo¡¯s work, truly incredibly like the sounds of nature."


    "Your Highness the Crown Prince is praising me too much." Luo Qing Luan replied emotionlessly.


    However, she grumbled a bit in her mind. This time, even the man of the hour* had arrived, and he even looked at her with that kind of expression. With one look and she knew. She¡¯s afraid that this crown prince had be interested in her, otherwise, why would he specifically talked to her among so many youngdies at the scene?


    She really had no intention in bing his crown prince consort, better be less clever in conversing with him.


    Having made her decision, afterwards, no matter what Nangong Qing said, Luo Qing Luan still only responded insipidly, not even speaking one word more than necessary.


    "How about Miss Luo y another song?" Just at this time, Nn Ye, who had not spoken at all, opened his mouth and spoke as if it was nothing. "A moment ago, I did not hear clearly."


    These words startled everyone. What? Forget that the crown prince was interested in Luo Qing Luan, when did the Prince of Chu also be interested in her?

    Chapter 41a: Deliberately Looking for a Fight


    <h4></h4>


    That exquisite youngdy with a peach blossom applied on her forehead was loungingnguidly next to Empress Wang, when she immediately fixed her gaze on Nn Ye. Her eyes seemed as if they were radiating light rays. Once her previously uninterested attitude changed and she looked at Luo Qing Luan again, her heart already flooded which enough hate to make her teeth itch.


    Today, Nangong Wan¡¯er actually dressed up very meticulously toe. Even though this Flower Bestowment Feast was put together for the sake of helping her elder brother find a wife, it didn¡¯t stop her froming for a chance to join in on the fun. As an esteemed princess among so many noble youngdies, her female pride certainly was present all the more. She especially even had the pce maids dressed and groomed her more than usual.


    However, she didn¡¯t expect that Brother Nn would surprisingly alsoe. This was really a nice surprise.


    Even thoughst time, Nn Ye kicked her out of his mansion, Nangong Wan¡¯er had not given up in the slightest. She was previously too unruly and provoked Brother Nn into annoyance. She could just make corrections in the future, that¡¯s all.


    Still, Nangong Wan¡¯er absolutely never thought that Nn Ye, who had never been interested in girls before, would take the initiative to open his mouth and ask Luo Qing Luan to y the zither. Was it possible that he liked her? He surprisingly was interested in Luo Qing Luan? How was that possible!


    At the moment, her gaze chilled. Nangong Wan¡¯er red rigidly at Luo Qing Luan. As long as she dared to y another tune, let¡¯s see if she wouldn¡¯t have people smash the zither to shreds!


    "I¡¯m sorry......"


    Who would¡¯ve thought, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t even spare a nce at Nn Ye before she replied. "I¡¯m a bit tired and don¡¯t want to y anymore."


    Nn Ye¡¯s eyebrows creased. Everyone thought that he would be angry. In the end, he didn¡¯t say anything at all and didn¡¯t even open his mouth, seemingly just letting things go.


    Not only Nangong Wan¡¯er, even Wen Wan and the other youngdies were also shocked. They didn¡¯t expect that Luo Qing Luan would go as far as to publicly refuse Nn Ye. This was His Highness the Prince of Chu we¡¯re talking about, which girl didn¡¯t like him, didn¡¯t daydream about him? The Prince of Chu who had always been cold and icy and who was not easily moved by a young woman was surprisingly rejected?


    "Luo Qing Luan, you sure have the gall. You actually dare to refuse! I want to hear a song right now, are you going to y, or not?" Nangong Wan¡¯er was no longer to stand it and screamed out loud. If Brother Nn wasn¡¯t present, she would¡¯ve immediately charged over and give Luo Qing Luan a lesson.


    Luo Qing Luan had not spoken when Nangong Qing already opened his mouth. "Third Sister, what are you doing? Miss Luo is too tired and doesn¡¯t want to y. She should rest for a bit, you shouldn¡¯t force her."


    Nangong Wan¡¯er stared nkly. Perceiving that the brother who had always loved her dearly was speaking out for that girl, her mood darkened even more. At that moment, she became enraged and her expression became hostile. "My crown prince brother, you¡¯re actually helping her? I insist on hearing her y. What, a majestic princess like me still shouldn¡¯t be given this honor?"


    "Wan¡¯er, don¡¯t make a scene." Empress Wang helplessly shook her head.


    She could tell that her daughter felt jealous, because of that single request from Nn Ye. However, she understood even more clearly that Nn Ye and her own daughter were not a good match at all. It¡¯s better to forget about it.


    "Imperial Mother, this girl is too much. Brother Nn wanted to listen to her y the zither, she wasn¡¯t willing. Now, I want to listen yet she surprisingly even disys such a cold face. I¡¯m the princess after all, what does she think she is? I don¡¯t care. Today, I insist on making her y!"


    While she spoke, Nangong Wan¡¯er practically made a scene as all of the womenfolk looked on. They were secretly apuding in their hearts, looking forward to seeing Luo Qing Luan put in a bind.


    Such an arrogant and aloof girl. She even dared to openly refuse the Prince of Chu and the princess? Where did she get such nerves. Did she think that by relying on her status as the general¡¯s noble daughter, she could oppose the princess? If she still won¡¯t see the weight of things, just see where it¡¯s going to lead.


    If this wasn¡¯t the imperial pce, and there wasn¡¯t so many pairs of eyes staring, Luo Qing Luan also wouldn¡¯t allow a girl younger than her to treat her so rudely and unreasonably.


    She had never cared who the other person was, nor care about the other person¡¯s status, no matter whether it was a little devil, or crafty and unruly spoiled high-borns, who considered everyone beneath them, or those whose mind were dark. She had always given lessons to those who needed lessons, pped those who needed pping. She¡¯d never been lenient when she acted.


    However today, because of Empress Wang¡¯s affections, who had treated her poorly, moreover, the asion was not right, so she just restrained herself.


    "I¡¯m sorry, Princess, I¡¯m indeed somewhat unwell. If you want to listen to my zither in the future, you cane find me at the General¡¯s Mansion at any time." Luo Qing Luan could be considered to have given her face. Otherwise, she would not have said this.


    "You......just you?" Nangong Wan¡¯er was actually infuriated after hearing this, as her eyebrows stood erect and her face flushed red. "A majestic princess like me, yet you would have me lower my noble self to visit your little General¡¯s Mansion just to listen to you y some rotten zither? You¡¯re sure full of yourself. What kind of thing do you think you are!"


    "If Your Highness is unwilling, I naturally also won¡¯t force you." Luo Qing Luan responded indifferently.


    "You.....what nerve!"


    As he stood by the side, Nn Ye¡¯s expression was like the wind, as if he didn¡¯t care about anything, yet he was thinking inside, this girl indeed had the nerves. Others had not experienced it themselves, but he had genuinely, absolutely experienced it. Once he thought about how she took off his clothesst time, and the way she even groped him, his emotions couldn¡¯t help but stir. His gaze eventually swept over and fell on Luo Qing Luan¡¯s serene, rippleless face. He could imagine it. Don¡¯t be deceived by thisss¡¯ docile looks. Even though she didn¡¯t say it, he¡¯s afraid that she¡¯d already sorted out the princess a thousand times in her mind?


    Thisss was not even afraid of him. How could she be afraid of a princess?


    As their war of words progressed, however, with Luo Qing Luan¡¯s neither soft nor hard retorts, Nangong Wan¡¯er looked like she was going to cry as she pulled Empress Wang¡¯s hand and acted spoiled. "Imperial Mother, she¡¯s bullying me. You have to stand up for me......"


    Empress Wang naturally knew her own daughter¡¯s personality, so didn¡¯t care much about it. She only stroked her fact and said softly, "How is Miss Luo bullying you? She already said that if you want to listen to her music, she can y at any time for you. Stop being noisy now. Today is actually......"

    <h4></h4>


    "Imperial Mother, even you¡¯re helping her? I hate that girl!"


    Nangong Wan¡¯er stood up at once and pointed at Luo Qing Luan as enraged tears dripped across her whole face. "I hate her!"


    After she spoke, she didn¡¯t wait for everyone to react as she turned and ran away.


    Seeing this, the servant maid waiting by the side promptly yelled ¡¯Princess, careful¡¯, and chased after her, making Empress Wang helplessly force a bitter smile. She really couldn¡¯t do anything about her daughter.


    Seeing Nangong Wan¡¯er finally leave, Nangong Qing was just about to console Luo Qing Luan when thetter also stood up, bowed and said, "I apologize, Empress Wang, I made the princess unhappy today. This servant is terrified. I had better leave early."


    Nangong Qing promptly cried out, "Miss Luo is not feeling well? Then will you allow me to send you home?"


    "I won¡¯t trouble Your Highness. I should just return on my own." Luo Qing Luan rejected his offer.


    She originally didn¡¯t want toe to today¡¯s Flower Bestowment Feast anyway. It¡¯s about right to use the princess¡¯ disturbance as an excuse to go home. She still had not finished writing hertest romance novel! It¡¯s better to go home and write some books to make money, avoid spending time with these hypocritical high-born women, and even wasting her brains. As far as this crown prince who¡¯d fallen for her, she should avoid him even more.


    In regards to that abominable Nn Ye, if it wasn¡¯t for him purposefully stirring up trouble......


    Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan sneaked a nce at him without exposing the slightest trace. This man actually disyed an expression of not giving a care, wrapped in a robe of clouds, standing out among the crowd of high-ss, and charming women and brilliantly colorful blooming flowers. The importance of today¡¯s Flower Bestowment Feast was out of the ordinary, yet on such a big day, he actually still wore an all ck robe?


    Indeed a crane in a flock of chickens who directly suppressed the man of the hour, Nangong Qing. Against reason, he even leisurely sat by the side and drank tea contentedly, not caring in the slightest about what had just happened. He didn¡¯t even spare her a nce.


    Abominable, damn him. He¡¯d better watch out in the future!


    She certainly wouldn¡¯t forget about the matter of him drawing a cat face on herst time. So humiliating, just wait and see!


    Luo Qing Luan gave Nn Ye a good scolding in her mind. Merely, none of those thoughts could show on her face. Afterwards, she bid goodbye to Empress Wang again. Before leaving, she silently cursed Nn Ye yet a few more times before following Wang Xue Ru. With the pce maids leading them, they headed towards a pce exit.


    They barely came for a short while today and were already leaving, Wang Xue Ru was quite unwilling, heart unreconciled. In the vicinity, there was only her and Luo Qing Luan, along with one young pce maid who she attached no importance to. No longer putting on pretenses, she scolded. "Qing Luan, you¡¯ve done it today. Not only did you offend Madam Wen, Miss Wen, you even offended Her Highness the princess. See if your father doesn¡¯t give you a proper lesson when you return. Really! Our General Mansion¡¯s face has been thrown to the bottom most by you."


    She just knew that her father¡¯s concubine wasn¡¯t going to let matters rest. As a matter of fact, they had not even arrived home before she lectured her. Luo Qing Luan was used to it since long ago and replied indifferently, "Oh. Is it possible that Father¡¯s Concubine want to go home andin to my father and have Father punish me?"


    "Is myint going to even be necessary?"


    Wang Xue Ru continued with a solemn face. "So many people witnessed what happened today, do you think it can be concealed? I¡¯m afraid your father already got wind of it by now. A good scolding will be waiting for you when you get home. Simply have no sense of manners......"


    "Aiyo, it¡¯s so difficult to visit the pce for once. Isn¡¯t it true a meal hasn¡¯t even been eaten? Why in such a rush to leave?"


    Just at this time, four or five women appeared in front of them, lead by a girl whose face was still brimming with childishness, wearing a pink pce style dress, on whose forehead a peach blossom was drawn. Her skin was as white as snow, attitude seemingly charming, yet carried a trace of provocation as she walked over with no good intention.


    Nangong Wan¡¯er?


    Once Luo Qing Luan saw her, she felt that there¡¯s little chance of it being an ident. Never thought that she¡¯d still encounter this girl when leaving the pce. Very likely, this girl deliberately waited here for her? No doubt this princess was truly impatient and wanted to give her a lesson.


    Once she saw the approaching people, Wang Xue Ru was scared into aughing. Her previous scorching chiding expression immediately changed to a servant¡¯s ttering appearance. "Turns out it¡¯s Third Princess. This servant pays respect to Your Highness the princess." After she spoke, she promptly also pulled Luo Qing Luan as she berated. "The princess hase. Still not paying your respects to the princess?"


    Knowing well that the other person came to find fault with her, how could Luo Qing Luan pay her any heed?


    In but a split second, the face of a pce maid beside Nangong Wan¡¯er already turned solemn as she coldly shouted, "Audacious! You¡¯ve seen Her Highness the Princess, yet still don¡¯t kneel and pay your respects?"


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s cold eyes swept over the pce maid, such that the other¡¯s heart felt a chill from her heart spreading through her body, before she responded. "Greetings Princess, I and Father¡¯s Concubine are about to leave the pce. There¡¯s no need for the princess to see us off. Thank you for your kind intentions."


    "Who¡¯s here to see you off. You¡¯re sure full of yourself!" One sentence angered Nangong Wan¡¯er to the point herplexion nched.


    "Since Princess isn¡¯t here to see me off, then we won¡¯t continue to stay. We take our leave."


    "Stop there!"


    Nangong Wan¡¯er originally waited on purpose to try to find an opportunity to give Luo Qing Luan a good scolding. How could she easily let her go? She¡¯d only just barely give the other a light reprimand. The other girl dressed in green by her side also opened her mouth. "Miss Luo, you¡¯ve seen Her Highness the Princess, yet not only did you not pay your respects, you instead left urgently. Did you do something shameful and are afraid of being found out?"


    She sized Luo Qing Luan up and down while sneering softly. "Just now, at the Flower Bestowment Feast, all of the china ware were of considerable worth. This is also the imperial pce where there are treasures everywhere. Who knows if Miss Luo has stolen something, causing you to run off so hastily?"


    These words resonated perfectly with her thoughts. Nangong Wan¡¯er nced at Li Shuyun with praise. Worthy of being Duke Wei¡¯s granddaughter, Shiyun¡¯s words agreedpletely with her intentions. Knowing that she wanted to find trouble with Luo Qing Luan, Li Shuyun had followed as if feeling indignant at injustice.


    "Not bad. What Shuyun is thinking is exactly what I¡¯m thinking." Nangong Wan¡¯er smiled coldly, arrogant expression in full disy. "Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t doubt you, because you¡¯re a general¡¯s daughter. Who doesn¡¯t know that Luo Qing Luan has never been favored by General Luo and whose mother has already passed away. Your life has been very destitute and simple......"


    Hearing this, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s soul just about escaped her as she promptly dered, "It¡¯s not like that, Princess. This servant has never been unkind before......"


    With a tilt of her head, Nangong Wan¡¯er interrupted her and replied coldly. "I¡¯m not talking about you. Shut your mouth. If any uninvolved person dares to speak again, p her for me!"


    After she finished speaking, she red at Luo Qing Luan again asrge, round eyes narrowed, before speaking levelly. "If Miss Luo¡¯s fingers tend to be sticky-fingered and took something from the imperial pce, that won¡¯t be good. In order to have you avoid doing wrong and getting found out by the imperial bodyguards, better let me help search you first."


    "Why are you guys still not moving, search her!"

 Chapter 42 part1

    Chapter 42A: She Really Didn¡¯t Intend It


    <h4></h4>


    The two pce maids behind her immediately rushed forward and was just about to approach Luo Qing Luan when they noticed her expression. A cold ray of light shed through her eyes, as if a sharp de was acutely pointing at them. Shivering from head to toes, the two pce maids froze on the spot as their hands hung rigidly in the air. How could they still dare to proceed?


    With one nce, two pce maids were subdued. Luo Qing Luan restrained her coldness and restored her normal expression again. Gathering up her two sleeves, she stroked the strand of pearl bracelet on her wrist as a ruthless idea already birthed within her mind.


    She wasn¡¯t fond of deliberately causing trouble, but if someone insisted on finding trouble with her, she also wouldn¡¯t casually allow anyone to seed. No matter who it was, she would properly retaliate in kind and have them know the consequences of provoking her.


    "Does the princess mean to say that I may have been careless during today¡¯s event and took away something precious, so you insist on inspecting me, right?" Luo Qing Luan asked indifferently. A dark and gloomy unknown deep meaning already shed within the depths of her eyes.


    "The princess has already stated everything very clearly. You¡¯re deliberately pretending that you didn¡¯t hear her, right?" Li Shuyun immediately retorted calmly.


    She had previously heard about matters regarding General Luo¡¯s two daughters. There had always been extremely widespread talk about them within the capital. Even if it were that Luo Qing Shuang who married into Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, she¡¯d never took her to be anyone of importance. After she knew that Luo Qing Shuang and the fifth prince was messed with by someone and even shamefully became the subjects of a novel, she felt even more disgusted at their lowliness.


    As for this Miss Luo Qing Luan, the main wife¡¯s daughter, her reputation was even worse than her sister ever since she was little. Not only did she like the Fifth Prince, bing a love-struck fool, she was moreover vicious and even stabbed her older sister in the back. Two sisters like this were truly outrageous. Every time she heard news about them, she always smiled coldly unable to take these girls seriously in the least.


    It¡¯s fine to not meet Luo Qing Shuang, yet Luo Qing Luan surprisingly encountered her and even rejected His Highness the Prince of Chu, who she was enamoured with. It was also a wonder how she seduced His Highness the Crown Prince, simply abominable!


    If she didn¡¯t ruthlessly teach this Luo Qing Luan a lesson, her status as Duke Wei¡¯s precious daughter would simply be for naught.


    "Luo Qing Luan, don¡¯t think about leaving today, unless you¡¯ve been thoroughly searched." Li Shuyun shouted loudly and approached, intending to do the job herself right on the spot.


    However, before she reached out, Luo Qing Luan already detained her wrist with a swift movement. She simply didn¡¯t get a chance to react.


    Stunned, she even struggled, but was unable to move. Li Shuyun became rmed. "Let go of me!"


    Luo Qing Luan looked on with a smile that¡¯s not a smile, the anger in her heart already reced with evil delight. This Miss Li wanted to give her a lesson, why can¡¯t she return a tooth for a tooth and sort her out in kind?


    Behind a flowering tree in the distance, Crown Prince Nangong Qing and Nn Ye watched everything that happened, but what¡¯s going through their minds had nothing inmon.


    "Not good, Third Sister is angry again. I¡¯m afraid this will be harmful to Miss Luo."


    His appearance seemed somewhat worried and immediately continued. "Ziqing, we need to go and help Miss Luo, otherwise, I¡¯m afraid she......"


    "What are you panicking for." Nn Ye stood in ce, his hands behind his back, not showing the least bit of concern.


    How could he not panic!


    It was the first time that Nangong Qing¡¯s heart moved for a girl.


    The unusual and leisurely zither music seemed as if it still reverberated by his ears. He couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter what. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s zither skill was so excellent and was actually so stylish and forthright, not the least bit like those girls from noble families he¡¯d met in the past, putting on pretenses like those highborn aristocraticdies. Now that he witnessed Third Sister looking for trouble with her, how could he not be worried?


    He originally thought that Nn Ye was interested in Luo Qing Luan. Watching Nn Ye¡¯s icy chilliness, not caring at all about Luo Qing Luan¡¯s predicament, he actually secretly rxed, yet was also even more worried about Luo Qing Luan at the same time. At once he wanted to advance to help her.


    "It¡¯s fine that you don¡¯t go, Ziqing. You can stay here while I go give Third Sister......"


    Nangong Qing hadn¡¯t finished his sentence when Nn Ye already spoke.


    Pupils hidden in the depths while he looked out front indifferently, as if he really wanted to see how Nangong Wan¡¯er will deal with Luo Qing Luan. The corners of his mouth raised into an arc as he leisurely spoke. "This Miss Luo...I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s not as weak as you imagine. Having encountered her, I¡¯m afraid the princess won¡¯t be able to prevail."


    "How¡¯s that possible. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know Third Sister¡¯s temperament. She even dared to break into your prince¡¯s mansion......"


    He barely touched upon this subject when Nn Ye¡¯s cold nce swept over him, as if he was reminded of something he didn¡¯t want to recall. "That¡¯s enough. I¡¯m having you watch, so just watch. I guarantee that you won¡¯t be disappointed."


    Unable to decide, Nangong Qing thought about it for quite awhile. Seeing that the situation before them seemed to not have run amok, he finally withdrew his intention of moving forward, thinking to himself, in any case, he¡¯s right here. If Miss Luo was really bullied by Third Sister, it wouldn¡¯t be toote to move forward then, just in time to be the hero saving a damsel in distress.


    On Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side, she already released Li Shuyun¡¯s hand. Didn¡¯t expect that she¡¯d be so strong. Li Shuyun looked at the red ring circle around her wrist from being grabbed and couldn¡¯t help but feel indignant. "Princess, there must be a problem with her! She didn¡¯t even dare to let us inspect her. She must be hiding her spoils."


    She aimed a meaningful nce at Wang Xue Ru and continued fiercely. "Maybe her father¡¯s concubine is also carrying something! Princess also shouldn¡¯t let her go!"


    "No, no!" How could Wang Xue Ru have anticipated that the fire would reach her own body. She immediately waved her hand in haste. "Princess, this servant certainly don¡¯t dare to steal anything from the pce. I absolutely don¡¯t dare. If this damn girl stole something, Princess should just punish her severely, but no matter what, don¡¯t put the me on our General¡¯s Mansion......"


    <h4></h4>


    (*TN: In case you¡¯re wondering, I continued to use ¡¯father¡¯s concubine¡¯ rather than something like ¡¯stepmother¡¯, because in the olden days, a concubine did not have the right to be called ¡¯mother¡¯ by the main wife¡¯s children. It could be said that they called them ¡¯maternal aunt¡¯.)

    Chapter 42B: She Truly Didn¡¯t Intend It


    <h4></h4>


    "Father¡¯s Concubine, is this kind of nonsense something you should even say?" Luo Qing Luan was incensed. Sure enough, hitting a person when she¡¯s down, but Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t expect that she¡¯d always been unyielding, yet the teammate beside her was a swine, pushing people into the pit without regard for their life or death.


    Afraid that she¡¯d provoke the Princess¡¯ displeasure, Wang Xue Ru hated Luo Qing Luan to begin with, so without the slightest hesitation, she stiffened her face. "Damned girl, a moment ago, you ran away on your own and didn¡¯t apany me. How would I know where you¡¯d gone? If you truly took something from the pce, why don¡¯t you immediately take it out without waiting for the search to reveal it. When we return home, it would be strange if your father doesn¡¯t beat you to death!"


    Bing happier and happier, Nangong Wan¡¯er lightly fiddled with a golden ring as she coldly smiled. "Luo Qing Luan, your father¡¯s concubine* already said that. In the end, are you going to admit it or not? If you¡¯re still going to deny......" The tone of her voice suddenly changed, adding to it a tinge of malicious intent. "Shuyun, you¡¯re a girl and not strong enough. From my perspective, it¡¯s better to have a few imperial bodyguardse and do the search. See if she still resist!"


    Have the imperial bodyguardse to search Luo Qing Luan¡¯s body? How wouldn¡¯t this......


    Once Li Shuyun heard this, she immediatelyughed maliciously. "Princess is the one with the better methods. Have you guys heard clearly? Hurry and call the guards!"


    This was the imperial pce. Besides the emperor and a few special individuals, no one dared to enter without notice. Even imperial bodyguards had to stay at a distance. Once the pce maids heard, they promptly ran off to call the guards.


    It originally wasn¡¯t a big deal. Even if someone deliberately looked for trouble, Luo Qing Luan had seen much and was already used to it.


    But she didn¡¯t anticipate that the princess surprisingly hated her so much and wanted to call the guards toe destroy her purity? If she was an ordinary girl, how would she have been able to resist those strong bodyguards, the aftermath could well be imagined!


    She had been amodating since the beginning, just because the other person involved was a princess. It¡¯s better to avoid unnecessary trouble if possible, but since the other person refused the respect that had already been given to her, Luo Qing Luan would no longer be courteous.


    "Does the princess truly want to have the imperial guards do a body search on me?" Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face was as cold as frost. Not retreating, but advance instead, she took two steps towards Nangong Wan¡¯er. As a rather oppressive force vigorously collided directly with her, Nangong Wan¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but take a step back. "What do you dare to do? I insist on giving you a proper lesson today, have you know what it means to be a superior and a subordinate!"


    "That¡¯s good then. Since it¡¯s like that, I¡¯ll thank the princess for your instruction." Luo Qing Luanughed faintly as her fingertips brushed. With the help of a turn of her body, she noiselessly concealed the split second hand motion from before, then returned.


    "You still dare to talk back......" Without sensing at all that Luo Qing Luan did something, Nangong Wan¡¯er even thought that she wanted to escape and blocked her at once. But she merely said a few words before she felt that something was wrong.


    Why did her hands itch so much?


    She subconsciously scratched a few times, but it would¡¯ve been better if she hadn¡¯t scratched. Following that, the itching simply became unbearable. From the skin, itching continually prated to the bones. Nangong Wan¡¯er¡¯splexion changed greatly. How could she still pay attention to Luo Qing Luan? She directly lifted her sleeves away, yet didn¡¯t see anything on her hands at all. Besides the red scratches made by her own fingernails, nothing seemed to be the least bit wrong.


    "Itchy, so itchy......"


    But this itching became more and more ferocious. Not only her left hand, even the right hand that she scratched with just now also started to itch, as if countless numbers of little bugs were crawling, which simply couldn¡¯t be scratched away. It was so ufortable that she nearly wanted to bawl.


    "Princess, are you alright?" Once Li Shuyun saw that something wasn¡¯t right, she promptly came to lend a hand. "Where does it itch, may I see?"


    Lifting up Nangong Wan¡¯er¡¯s spotlessly white wrist, she also didn¡¯t discover anything and tried to help her scratch, wanting to help bring some relief to the princess. However, she merely scratched twice before she also felt that something¡¯s not right. Howe her own fingers also started to itch?


    Was it possible that it¡¯s contagious? How could it spread so rapidly?


    She was immediately scared out of her wits. Li Shuyun also forcefully scratched. In but a moment, her hands were full of red scratches, but this was simply useless. The itching prated straight into her bones. Not only was scratching useless, instead, the itching became more and more ferocious. Within a short period of time, it even extended throughout her entire body.


    "Luo Qing Luan, tell this princess, what did you do?"


    Nangong Wan¡¯er was both panicked and afraid. She was previously just fine. How did she suddenly started itching?


    The corners of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mouth carried a smile while her eyelids didn¡¯t blink at all. "Your Highness, I didn¡¯t even touch you at all. How can this be something I¡¯ve done? Moreover, how can I have such skills? Since Princess itches, it can¡¯t be because you haven¡¯t taken a bath for several days, so some bugs have grown on you, right?"


    This was the itching powder that she hid in her bracelet. During this short period of time, she had been free, so she secretly blended all kinds of useful medicines, precisely to guard against different situations.


    Now that it had truly be useful, it could be seen how much foresight she had. Luo Qing Luan found the situation amusing and resolved all the more to continue carrying these things on her body.


    "You¡¯re the one growing bugs on her body!"


    Once she heard Luo Qing Luan¡¯s scare, Nangong Wan¡¯er panicked even more. Li Shuyun was also the same. With faces full of suffering; how could the two of them still remain reserved and dignified? They incessantly scratched their bodies, without the slightest bit of a dignified bearing. If they weren¡¯t standing out in the open, perhaps they would¡¯ve even taken off their clothes.


    The itching powder certainly wouldn¡¯t kill someone. At most, it caused them to feel unwell, maybe enough to scratch until they bled a bit, that¡¯s all. It¡¯s just that between these two people, one was a princess, while the other was a high born noble, both were people whose bodies were delicate and precious. She¡¯s afraid they¡¯d have to suffer a bit.


    With a nce at Wang Xue Ru¡¯s terrified face, Luo Qing Luan calmly dered, "Since Princess and Miss Li are to busy, I won¡¯t keep youpany any further. The two of you should hurry. Better to return for a bath and a change of clothes to avoid being seen in this state by people who areing soon. I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t be so good."


    After she finished speaking, she just left, regardless of how the other two people would react. Once Wang Xue Ru saw this, she promptly kept pace. Any crafty ns that she had before actually disappeared.


    Originally, she wanted to leave the pce to quickly return to the General¡¯s Mansion, but Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t expect that she barely drove away Nangong Wan¡¯er and Nangong Qing appeared before her now.


    Looking at Nangong Qing blocking the pce¡¯s exit, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t even have time to get on the horse carriage. She quite helplessly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, standing guard at my horse carriage, don¡¯t tell me that you want to be my stablehand?"

 Chapter 43 part1

    Chapter 43a: She¡¯s Doing It On Purpose


    <h4></h4>


    A moment ago, behind the flowering tree, Nangong Qing saw everything clearly, but he didn¡¯t know how Luo Qing Luan moved at all.


    Seeing his Third Sister taking a big loss, he looked like he couldn¡¯t wait to jump out. He very rarely saw his sister suffer any losses, but Nangong Qing wasn¡¯t angry in the slightest. On the contrary, he became even more interested in Luo Qing Luan.


    It was the first time he¡¯d ever met such a clever, unique, young girl. How could he not feel interested?


    All at once, he left Nn Ye and took a shortcut by himself to exit the pce. He especially waited by the side of the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s horse carriage just for the sake of meeting Luo Qing Luan. Thus, he couldn¡¯t tell what Luo Qing Luan did at all.


    The young girl before his eyes had bright eyes and white teeth, gorgeous regardless of whether she¡¯s upset or happy, skin like snow, smiling beautifully. Even though she seemed somewhat stiff and impatient, his heart still jumped incessantly watching her. Nangong Qing understood that since his imperial mother wanted to find a consort for him, then this Miss Luo from the General¡¯s Mansion, how could she not be the best candidate?


    As for her previous broken engagement with Fifth Brother, Nangong Qing felt nothing besides feeling secretly happy about it. If the circumstances weren¡¯t like that, how could he have the chance to take Luo Qing Luan for his consort?


    He originally had a lot to say, but suddenly hearing Luo Qing Luan saying such a thing, Nangong Qing actually froze in ce. "Stable hand? Uh......Miss Luo, I really wanted......wanted......"


    Nobody had ever talked to him that way before, surprisingly making fun of him to be a stable hand? He felt that it was both unexpected and special. He just felt that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s entire body exuded a tremendous attractive force, making him want to know everything about her, understand her.


    Nangong Qing¡¯s brain could be considered to still work quickly, as he found an excuse. "Isn¡¯t today Imperial Mother¡¯s Flower Bestowment Feast? Yet Miss Luo came and left so hastily. You haven¡¯t even partaken of the feast and are already leaving. It happens to be lunch time right now. I intend to return to my mansion. How about I invite Miss Luo for lunch?"


    He wanted to invite her for a meal?


    She¡¯s afraid she would¡¯ve fallen for it, if she was another girl. However, Luo Qing Luan had met all kinds of people in her previous life. How could she not recognize this very clumsy method of chasing after a girl?


    She didn¡¯t want to provoke Nangong Qing at all, and didn¡¯t want to be his crown prince consort even more, so she had to refuse. "Since you¡¯vee to attend the Flower Bestowment Feast, why is Your Highness leaving so quickly and not staying here to dine?"


    "This......"


    One simple question from her made Nangong Qing dumbstruck.


    Luo Qing Luan continued, "I won¡¯t hold up Your Highness, then. I still need to return home. Goodbye."


    For the first time, Wang Xue Ru agreed with Luo Qing Luan. She certainly didn¡¯t want this girl to go eat with the crown prince. If the two of them associate with one another and fell for each other, bing a royal couple, how would that not be the same as stepping on her daughter underfoot?


    She was going to help Luo Qing Luan quickly get on the carriage, but Nangong Qing blocked again.


    With great difficulty, he came across a girl who moved him. How could he let the opportunity go so easily?


    Nangong Qing smiled with iparable sincerely as he tried again. "Please wait, Miss Luo. I found out that the capital¡¯s most famous restaurant, the Moon Encounter Pavillion recently stocked the freshest, tender, and plump Yellow Tail Perch. It¡¯s boring to eat by myself, therefore......"


    "Then Your Highness can just ask someone to apany you. I¡¯m truly busy, and need to go home. May you allow it."


    Luo Qing Luan truly couldn¡¯t figure it out. She merely yed a tune in public today, that¡¯s all. Was it worth it for the crown prince to chase after her so painstakingly? In this entire capital, if there weren¡¯t a thousand young girls who could y the zither, there were at least eight hundred. Why must he insist on finding her?


    Having been refused again, not only did Nangong Qing not get angry, he instead was more certain that Luo Qing Luan stood out from the masses.


    Which one among the other girls who¡¯d been invited by him wasn¡¯t wild with joy, as they bashfully weed him? This goes to show that this Miss Luo truly did not care about his status and wasn¡¯t a tacky girl who clung to power.


    She¡¯s truly rare and precious! With a consort like that, what more could a husband ask for?


    "I¡¯d really like to invite Miss Luo for a meal today. I wonder if Miss Luo is willing to do me the honor?" Nangong Qing bluntly asked openly.


    "You really......" The fact was that Luo Qing Luan was losing patience. She already declined, yet he insisted on entangling himself. So he simply refused to understand a tactful refusal, right?


    Her expression immediately turned colder as she replied icily, "What, can it be that Your Highness extends an invitation, so I must go no matter what?"


    Since she didn¡¯t want Luo Qing Luan to eat with the crown prince, yet also did not want to offend him, Wang Xue Ru was watching while her heart was burning. She decided that when she returned home, she¡¯d persuade the general to issue amand and forbid Luo Qing Luan from leaving the house in the future.


    Seeing that Luo Qing Luan was getting angry, Nangong Qing became rmed and immediately turned more gentle. "No, I didn¡¯t mean it that way. This......Miss Luo, I am earnest and sincere. I¡¯ve already reserved our seats at Moon Encounter Pavillion, you......"


    Panicking somewhat, he truly didn¡¯t know how he could persuade her, but if he were to let her go like this, he also couldn¡¯t bring himself to let go of this hard toe by, great opportunity to spend time alone with her.


    Luo Qing Luan was in fact someone who was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. The other person¡¯s temper was so good, so patient, she also couldn¡¯t bring herself to get angry at him. Moreover, the other person was a crown prince, after all, and they were standing right in front of the pce. She really couldn¡¯t make him look bad.


    "Please don¡¯t say that, Your Highness. I have things to do at home. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to go......"


    She originally was going to give him a way out. Who knew that once Nangong Qing heard this, his eyes brightened. "Miss Luo, can I help you with whatever you¡¯re busy with? If it¡¯s something I don¡¯t know how to do, I¡¯ll help Miss Luo find someone who can. No matter if it¡¯s someone from the Imperial Hanlin Academy, or my teacher, they can all help you."


    Practically speechless now, Luo Qing Luan started to feel defeated.

    This Crown Prince was just like taffy candy. Once it¡¯s moistened, it stuck without letting go.


    If there was no one around, at worst, she could just throw the ckout powder at him and leave. However, her father¡¯s concubine, Wang Xue Ru was also with them, while there were still so many imperial bodyguards in the surrounding area, how could she conveniently make a move?


    It would seem that today, she wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid going, but she truly wasn¡¯t willing to raise Nangong Qing¡¯s hope. Maybe she can still figure something outter. Better to scare him away.


    "Forget it, I don¡¯t dare to trouble Your Highness. Since you are inviting me sincerely, let¡¯s go to Moon Encounter Pavillion for a meal." Luo Qing Luan changed direction sluggishly. It was rare for her not to be interested in eating.


    Finally sessful at inviting her, Nangong Qing was delighted and immediately helped Luo Qing Luan into his carriage. As for Wang Xue Ru, he only nced meaningfully at her. How could thetter dare to follow them? She obediently found an excuse and left.


    Nangong Qing rode a horse in front. After they arrived at Moon Encounter Pavillion, he immediately notified the manager to personally receive them, respectfully and differentially bringing the two of them to a private room on the topmost floor. Fragrant scent of tea rising in spirals and a pleasant environment more or less improved Luo Qing Luan¡¯s state of mind a bit.


    She originally was going to return home to continue drawing the erotic illustrations, but she came up with another good story. When these drawings were done, they¡¯ll be big sellers for sure. It¡¯s just a pity......unfortunately, Nangong Qing had entangled her and was holding her up from making money.


    "What would you like to eat?"


    Looking at Luo Qing Luan lower her head without speaking, even more elegant in the midst of tranquility, Nangong Qing smiled. "Moon Encounter Pavillion is the most famous restaurant in the capital. All of their dishes are the absolute best, no matter if it¡¯s southern cuisine, or northern cuisine. Even if it¡¯s North Wind country¡¯s coal roastedmb, or South Yue country¡¯s Golden Snow Lotus Soup, the vors are all authentic."


    As her mind worked, Luo Qing Luan suddenly had an idea.


    Maybe it wasn¡¯t easy to make someone like you. However, to make the other person hate you, there were absolutely as many ways as there were hairs on an ox. Just go with the flow!


    Deliberately appearing to be fussy, she answered indifferently. "Is that right? Since Your Highness say that it¡¯s so great, then I really would like to taste them. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t I betray Your Highness¡¯ kindness?"


    How could Nangong Qing know that she already was scheming something as he replied at once, "That¡¯s right, don¡¯t hesitate to tell me what you¡¯d like to eat."


    The manager serving beside them promptly suggested, "There are thirty six signature dishes at my restaurant with all kinds of vors. Not one of them wasn¡¯t cooked with the utmost care. Please select some of the best exotic delicacies first......"


    "There¡¯s no need to choose. Bring all the of signature dishes made at Moon Encounter Pavilion at the same time." Luo Qing Luan spoke smilingly, without skipping a beat. "There¡¯s a total of thirty six dishes, right? Oh, don¡¯t forget that brick oven roastedmb from North Wind Country as well as that Golden Snow Lotus soup......"


    Once the manager heard this, he was bbergasted. "Miss, you ordered so much, will you be able to eat them all......"


    Luo Qing Luan nced at Nangong Qing, then knit her brows in reply. "What, a customer drops in for a meal, don¡¯t tell me that they¡¯re not allowed to order more dishes? Then forget about it......"


    "Manager Qiao, this Highness came with a friend to Moon Encounter Pavilion to share a meal today, what now? You don¡¯t wee us, right?" Nangong Qing¡¯s expression darkened.


    It was with great difficulty that he was able to invite a beautiful woman here, yet he suddenly lost face in front of Luo Qing Luan. How could he appear stingy, because of a few dishes of food, like pping himself? Don¡¯t mention Luo Qing Luan ordering a few more dishes, even if she didn¡¯t eat them and dumped everything, he wouldn¡¯t care about it in the least.


    "I don¡¯t dare, I don¡¯t dare!" Manager Qiao jumped with a fright. How could he still dare to say another word? He quickly left to prepare.


    In the private room, Nangong Qing frequently looked for conversational topics in an attempt to get closer to Luo Qing Luan. Within Moon Encounter Pavilion¡¯s kitchen, five first-rate chefs pulled up their sleeves and grabbed their cleavers to begin cooking. They¡¯re afraid that any dys would be a slight to the crown prince. Manager Qiao directly had people hang a sign to temporarily suspend business as they wholeheartedly waited upon these two VIP¡¯s.


    In a short time, hot, steaming dishes appeared like running water. There really were too many. One table wasn¡¯t enough to disy them all. All kinds of signature dishes, thirty-six of them, as well as other desserts and refreshments, all kinds of desserts and fruits, soups and so forth, such that the entire private room was spread full of them.


    Looking at four additional tables set up around them,pletely covered with food, perhaps it would be inconvenient when they started eating. The distance to those dishes was so far, how could their chopsticks reach? Nangong Qing was a bit displeased. "Manager Qiao, is this how you do business? There are so many dishes, don¡¯t you know how to present them in order? How would we eat if they turn cold?"


    Seeing him getting angry, the corners of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mouth curved up. What she wanted was this effect. The angrier he was, the more dissatisfied he was, the less he would be interested in her. This was merely the beginning, in a moment, she¡¯d make him feel even more unwell!


    "Forget it, Your Highness, I was inconsiderate and ordered too much food." Luo Qing Luan¡¯s appearance was as tranquil as before, without showing happiness, yet also not showing unhappiness, as if everything had not way of being of interest to her.


    With chopsticks in hand, she picked up the crispy-fried tender braised chicken in front of her. With only a bite, her brows creased.


    Focused on her all along, Nangong Qing quickly asked, "How is it, Miss Luo, is it not to your taste?"


    "This isn¡¯t chicken, right? Why is it so tough?" Luo Qing Luan swallowed it down with difficulty, after which she criticized everything. "Even though I haven¡¯t eaten at Moon Encounter Pavilion before, I still know that this dish should be crunchy on the outside while tender on the inside, while a fragrant aroma assails the nostrils. But this, um ~ no good. Even biting into it is difficult."


    Nangong Qing¡¯splexion changed at once. "Manager Qiao, what¡¯s going on? I came to your ce to eat, yet you¡¯re surprisingly casually just going through the motions?"


    Hearing this, Manager Qiao¡¯s started sweating profusely, as he promptly exined, "No, Your Highness, this crispy-fried tender chicken is our restaurant¡¯s most famous dish. We sell no less than a hundred orders of this everyday. How can it be......"


    "Forget it, Your Highness, please don¡¯t me the manager. Maybe it¡¯s because I ordered too many dishes all at once, so the kitchen didn¡¯t have enough time to prepare. A momentary carelessness, that¡¯s all?" Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t care about it too much and again tasted another dish.

 Chapter 44 part1

    Chapter 44a: Looking for Bones in an Egg (Nitpicking)


    This was a popr Chinese perch dish steamed in half red and half green broth. The soup emanated a dense fragrance. The garnish included red peppers and delicate green scallions. The appearance warmed the heart and delighted the eyes, with faint wisps of steam still rising from it. Luo Qing Luan used chopsticks to lightly pick up a piece of fish near its air dder and sent it to her mouth for a taste. As expected, she frowned again.


    "Um......so fishy."


    As if she had to force herself to swallow it down, she nced at the already somewhat embarrassed Nangong Qing and said, "Your Highness, I¡¯m afraid that this fish isn¡¯t fresh. It¡¯s a little......forget it. It¡¯s better not to eat, the smell is not so good."


    Seeing this expression of hers, having only eaten a bite, yet no longer willing to even have another taste, how could the food only be ¡¯smell not so good¡¯? He¡¯s afraid the food must be unptable! Hearing this, Manager Qiao started sweating bullets.


    Expression darkening, Nangong Qing was angry now. "Manager Qiao, so be it if one dish wasn¡¯t good. Now, even the second dish is unptable. Are you wanting me to tear your sign board to pieces?"


    This was the first time that he invited a youngdy he admired for a meal, yet it was handled like this. How¡¯s he going to show off his stately crown prince face? In the past, he even thought that Moon Encounter Pavilion¡¯s food was pretty good. Looking at things now......if they ruin his important date, he¡¯ll have to tear down this ce, no less!


    "Your Highness, please quell your anger. Even if thismoner has the courage to reach heaven, I still won¡¯t dare to mess around. These are truly all ingredients which we received early this morning, then prepared with meticulous cooking methods by the grand chefs......how can they be......how can they be......" Manager Qiao just about wanted to cry. He was so terrified that he trembled from head to toes.


    "Forget it, Your Highness, there are still so many dishes here, they can¡¯t be all bad." Luo Qing Luan smiled with difficulty, pretending to put on an appearance of not minding. She then straightforwardly had Manager Qiao leave, to avoid Nangong Qing getting angry at him again once she started speaking again.


    "Hurry and get lost!" Nangong Qing shouted.


    "Yes, yes." As if he¡¯d received amnesty, Manager Qiao withdrew, scared witless.


    When only two people were left in the private room, Nangong Qing¡¯s expression finally changed and he smiled. "Miss Luo, don¡¯t force yourself, if it doesn¡¯t taste good. Try something else. I¡¯ve visited this Moon Encounter Pavilion before and felt that it¡¯s eptable, yet why today......"


    In order to avoid further problems, he straightforwardly tasted the dishes first. After looking at some tens of dishes around them, Nangong Qing tasted Fragrant Tea Chicken and felt that it tasted pretty good, before suggesting to Luo Qing Luan, "Miss Luo, this dish is also quite famous at Moon Encounter Pavilion. I tried it and there¡¯s no problem. Once in the mouth, it transforms, aromatic, tender, delicious. Will you give it a try?"


    Having just finished talking, he added, "I¡¯ve already tasted it and guarantee that there¡¯s no problem. You¡¯ll like it for sure."


    Actually, he was feeling nervous. Nangong Qing had not felt like this in a long time.


    When did he ever felt like this before? Even when he was together with those young girls who admired him, no matter what they did, he¡¯d always remained unruffled, indifferent, and calm. There was a huge difference this time. Maybe it¡¯s because he truly fell for her, but those two mishaps earlier truly made him worried that he wouldn¡¯t leave a good impression on Luo Qing Luan.


    If the first time eating with him left her dissatisfied, how could their future be mentioned?


    "Since Your Highness say that it¡¯s good, then it must be good." Luo Qing Luan casually agreed. She was nitpicking deliberately. How could she not find an excuse? With only a taste, even though she didn¡¯t say that it tasted bad, she nevertheless shook her head and sighed in solemnly.


    Nangong Qing¡¯s heartbeat nearly stopped. What¡¯s up again? He already tasted it himself and there was no problem!


    "Luo, Miss Luo, actually......but what problem is there?" If something¡¯s truly amiss again, he simply wanted to have people smash this Moon Encounter Pavilion to ruins! Abominable. Didn¡¯t he merely want to properly invite a young woman who he admired for a meal? Unexpectedly......rage couldn¡¯t help but rose again, but Manager Qiao wasn¡¯t there, so there¡¯s no way for him to blow up. Nangong Qing could only endure while he even had to put up a smile.


    Luo Qing Luan creased her eyebrows. She hesitated for a moment before speaking softly. "Your Highness invited me for a meal, so I should thank you. It¡¯s just that......" She smiled apologetically, appearing as if she was very regretful. "Your Highness praised Moon Encounter Pavilion so much previously. Maybe that raised my expectations too much. Actually, these dishes can be considered not bad if they were served at other restaurants. It¡¯s just a pity......"


    "This is called the higher the expectations, the worse the disappointment."


    After a soft sigh, her fair and delicate appearance carried a trace of gloominess, as if a cloud had covered up the moonlight. Failing to see her smiling expression again immediately made Nangong Qing very embarrassed, as he med himself endlessly.


    Picking up a piece of Fragrant Tea again, Luo Qing Lu stated unenthusiastically, "For genuinely delicious Fragrant Tea Chicken, no matter whether it¡¯s the choice of tea, or the chicken, both are vitally important. If somemon tea leaves are randomly picked, or if the chicken has been raised for two or three years, the vor of the resultant dish will absolutely be different."


    "The tea leaves must be picked among newly sprouted ones during sunny spring days in March. Only the tips of the sprouts should be used. After stir-frying carefully, cure them over a fire, then boil them in the best spring water from a snow mountain to produce tea water. As for the chicken, it can¡¯t be over one year old. The best ones should be about ten months old. Cook it well in this tea water, so that the fragrance of the tea permeatespletely into it."


    As she spoke, Luo Qing Luan watched the already somewhat shocked Nangong Qing. Her expression didn¡¯t change in the least, as if she was speaking about something extremely ordinary. Her red lips opened gently. Like a connoisseur who had tasted delicacies from all over the world, she continued docilely. "Cooking the chicken in this way is merely the first step. When the dish is presented, the meat still needed to be sliced from the bones. It slice can only be as big as about one point three inches. The thickness needs to be uniform. If it¡¯s too thick, the vor can¡¯t be thoroughly absorbed. If it¡¯s too thin, the texture won¡¯t be good. Look, Your Highness, this Fragrant Tea Chicken is cut into cubes. Even the bones haven¡¯t been removed. Eating it like this, not only is it annoying, it¡¯s also unrefined. This dish has already fallen to the lowest level. As for this most critical dipping sauce, sigh.....if we¡¯re really particr, then this Fragrant Tea Chicken really shouldn¡¯t be eaten. Surprisingly, the Moon Encounter Pavilion is proiming this to be their signature dish."

    <h4></h4>


    "Also this dish." After she finished speaking, she pointed at the Pearl Honeyed Fruit dish at another table.


    "The colorful appearance of this dessert is not bad. Snow white lychee, bright red watermelon, orange yellow peach, arranging them together does indeed warms the heart and delights the eyes. However, the chef is not a doctor and doesn¡¯t understand that lychee is a yang fruit and its nature is heat inducing, not a good pair at all for the cold natured watermelon. As for this peach, the medical manuals say that eating arge amount causes bloating and even gives birth to skin sores, doing more harm than good. It¡¯s even worse for pregnant women. Therefore, even this small dessert te is not suitable for every customer at all."


    With a faint long sigh, Luo Qing Luany down her chopsticks appearing not to be interested in eating any longer.


    Listening to what she said caused Nangong Qing to both blush with embarrassment and exim in admiration. Blush with embarrassment, because his status was so high, yet was incapable of satisfying his guest. Not only was the food not good, a young girl was able to point out so many faults, really hurtful to a crown prince¡¯s prestige.


    As for admiration......


    Nangong Qing had never seen anyone who was capable of paying such careful attention to fine foods. Every single step in its preparation, every single pros and cons was detailed and prating. She simply could not bepared to an ordinary person. Previously, when he heard Luo Qing Luanin that Moon Encounter Pavilion¡¯s food was not tasty, he even thought that she was somewhat picky. He didn¡¯t expect that she would be so proficient regarding fine foods!


    As someone who already tasted culinary delicacies, she¡¯d naturally be picky when asked to eat thosemon foods. Sampling and eating one¡¯s fill was not the same thing. He invited her for a meal, so of course he hoped that she¡¯d be satisfied. He wanted to find the best ce and the best gourmet foods, but Luo Qing Luan obviously didn¡¯t have a high opinion of this ce. Perhaps even those foods that he usually eat from the imperial kitchen would be merely trash, that¡¯s all.


    Such a spirited, graceful, virtuous, and beautiful woman was truly rarely encountered!


    He originally only thought that her personality was not bad forthright and magnanimous, not the least bit pretentious. This was what aroused his interest. Who would have thought, when he saw her the second time ying the zither, he took her to be a celestial being before discovering that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s every movement was gentle and proper, as quick as a fleeting hare, while also as quiet as a maiden, simply making him falling in love at second nce.


    Yet when he interacted with her alone, he discovered that he had still known her only superficially. He had not discovered much of her goodness, her beauty. Luo Qing Luan was like a cup of tea whose fragrance rose in spirals. The first sip was fragrant and sweet. The second sip was a taste to ponder on extensively. The third sip lingered with even more inexhaustible vor, to the extent that it was difficult to give up on, difficult to relinquish, making him gaze upon it as a treasure.


    Such a rare and precious woman, how could he not like her, how could his heart not be moved?


    "Miss Luo is indeed knowledgeable. Hearing what you say today truly expanded my horizons." Nangong Qing tried to control his heartbeat and continued in a rather awkward manner. "I have never seen anyone as knowledgeable as Miss Luo, yet not arrogant, not hot-tempered, nor fond of inted reputations. Today I rashly invited Miss Luo to lunch. It seems that I¡¯ve really been rude."


    Slowly standing up, Luo Qing Luan brushed her clothes before responding. "Your Highness don¡¯t need to me yourself. I was just picky, that¡¯s all. Today, I¡¯ve already tarried for such a long time, I¡¯m afraid that Father and Father¡¯s Concubine are getting worried. I¡¯d better take my leave."


    "This......"


    He was originally going to chat a bit more with her, but Nangong Qing was also worried that Luo Qing Luan might speak about something he didn¡¯t know, such that he had no way of answering. Thinking it over, he decided to forget it. Today had been quite humiliating already. How could he still find an excuse to interact more with her?


    Without any other option, Nangong Qing could only send Luo Qing Luan downstairs and had someone fetch a horse carriage to send her home.


    Once she returned to her own room, Luo Qing Luan finally returned to normal.


    "Oh my god, so tiring. Pretending to be a virtuousdy is really restrictive, so painful." A moment ago, she couldn¡¯t even speak loudly. Even though she was already getting very impatient, she still wanted to pretend to be gentle and submissive, racking her brains to say those picky things. If she didn¡¯t deliberately pretend to be dainty and particr, maybe Nangong Qing would even think that she was really finding faults toin about, looking down upon his status as a crown prince. If by chance this incurred his wrath and he deliberately looked for trouble with her like that third princess, then it¡¯d be disastrous.


    It¡¯s not that she¡¯s afraid. She just didn¡¯t have the time to deal with these boring people.


    If Nangong Qing knew that Luo Qing Luan thought of him as a boring person, he probably wouldn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. To think that as a majestic crown prince, which female in the capital didn¡¯t hope to me married to him? Yet he surprisingly had been disregarded by someone.


    Apparently, Wang Xue Ru had also been scared stiff by what Luo Qing Luan did at the imperial pce today and didn¡¯te to make trouble for her. She just rested in her room. An entire afternoon passed by with her writing and drawing. In the evening, she ate dinner with Dai Yue. Luo Qing Luan returned to her room and had just put away the new novel she wrote, nning to visit Boss Li as soon as possible.


    She just finished hiding the good stuff when Luo Qing Luan felt something. There seemed to be a disturbance outside in the distance.


    It¡¯s just about time to go to sleep already. Who was still being noisy outside? Moreover, this residence had always been managed very strictly by Wang Xue Ru. No servant would dare to make a racket randomly. Whose voice was it this time?


    After asking Dai Yue about it, she found out the reason.


    It¡¯s not that Wang Xue Ru didn¡¯t have the time toe give her trouble. Rather, she was angered enough to be dizzy and seized a servant girl to vent her anger. At this time, she was in her room ferociously punishing the servant, enough to cause a ruckus in the General¡¯s Mansion in the middle of the night.


    "Isn¡¯t she most cautious normally? Why is she throwing a fit sote at night? Isn¡¯t she afraid that more wrinkles will grow on her face?" Luo Qing Luan faintly smiled and continued, "Dai Yue, stealthily go and see what in the world happened."

 Chapter 45 part1

    Chapter 45a: How Did Her Mother Really Die


    <h4></h4>


    After some time, Dai Yue returned, her little mouth pouting in sadness.


    "What is it, Dai Yue, what did you hear?" From what Luo Qing Luan could see, Dai Yue looked more like the person who¡¯d been punished rather than someone else.


    Just now, she secretly asked around. What she found was that there was a huge ruckus at the Side Madam¡¯s courtyard. It appeared as if someone was being punished to be an example to others. Not only was all of the servantsmanded to watch, moreover, a servant was told to ruthlessly strike that person¡¯s face. Dai Yue¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but hurt just from watching.


    Only after hearing what Nanny Song had to sayter on did she know that a servant maid seduced the master and was discovered by the side madam, resulting in the severe punishment. In the end, that servant girl¡¯s face was beaten swollen, then dragged out and driven away from the General¡¯s Mansion.


    "Nanny Song told me that Sister Bitao absolutely did not seduce the master. Basically, the side madam doesn¡¯t like her, so she purposefully found an excuse to beat and send her away." Once she recalled this, Dai Yue¡¯s little face frowned, both rmed and terrified.


    "So be it, if she doesn¡¯t like her, just a little servant girl. Who wouldn¡¯t Father¡¯s Concubine punish whenever she wanted to? During these many years, she depended on Father not marrying anyone else and acted like she¡¯s the mistress managing this household. Now that Elder Sister is Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort, how can she still ce other people in her eyes?"


    Luo Qing Luan continued indifferently, "forget it. As long as she doesn¡¯t punish you, it¡¯s fine. There¡¯s no need for us to mind other people¡¯s business."


    She originally didn¡¯t take this matter seriously, because this kind of matter happened frequently in the past. Who would¡¯ve imagined that Dai Yue would say, "My Lady, it¡¯s not like that. If the side madam punishes someone else, I wouldn¡¯t have talked about it, but I heard Nanny Song say that Sister Bitao served our Madam before in the past."


    Eyes shed, Luo Qing Luan was somewhat startled. "What? She¡¯d served my mother before?"


    She didn¡¯t know about this at all. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have disregarded the matter. Her mother passed away early. She never even nced at her mother before, and she didn¡¯t have any status in the General¡¯s Mansion at all in the past. Besides only Dai Yue to serve her, and Nanny Song to look after her, how would she know about anything that happened previously?


    "What in the world did Nanny Song say to you? Dai Yue, tell me." Subconsciously, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s tone of voice deepened.


    "My Lady, I also didn¡¯t know anything previously. If it wasn¡¯t for your asking me to make inquiries tonight, and I wouldn¡¯t have happened to run into Nanny Song there. It was because she could no longer bear to watch that she spoke a bit more than usual."


    As she spoke, Dai Yue disyed some lingering fear and softly continued, "I heard that during these years, of the servants that the side madam had either beaten to death, or sent away, half of them had once served our Madam. Even those people who asionally talked about the Madam had been sent away by the side madam. I also don¡¯t know why the side madam hates the Madam so much when she¡¯s already passed away for so many years."


    If it¡¯s truly like that, could it be that there¡¯s an issue in there somewhere?


    Luo Qing Luan originally as going to have Dai Yue go find Nanny Song to get to the bottom of the matter, but she saw that it¡¯s getting toote and was afraid of disturbing Nanny Song¡¯s rest. Nanny Song was getting old and her health was poor. She¡¯s already tired enough during the day. It¡¯s better to let her rest properly at night.


    Recollecting the past, it¡¯s not that Luo Qing Luan hadn¡¯t inquired about matters pertaining to her mother, but no one ever knew what happened. Either those servants wouldn¡¯t tell her, or they simply ignored her. At the time, she was timid and stupid and basically also didn¡¯t have the inclination look for answers. Even though she currently already turned over a new leaf, she also didn¡¯t truly suspect anything before.


    It seemed that she should properly investigate this matter now.


    Why did Wang Xue Ru want to either kill, or send away all of her mother¡¯s servants? Was it truly only because they made mistakes, or possibly merely because they made Wang Xue Ru unhappy? Or was there some unspeakable secret?


    Early the next day, after breakfast, Luo Qing Luan prepared to step out. Dai Yue already asked around. That servant named Bitao fromst night was already sent away after she was beaten. She was sent back home to never return. She was beaten so severely. If her injuries were not treated right away, she would very likely be totally disfigured.


    Since Nanny Song knew something, but didn¡¯t tell her, Luo Qing Luan guessed that there was some purpose behind it. However, this didn¡¯t prevent her from making some inquiries first, so that she could learn something before getting to the bottom of what in the world happened that time.


    Bringing Dai Yue, the two of them changed into men¡¯s clothes and as before, they left through the back door.


    But when Luo Qing Luan found the beginning of the remote alley at the north of the city, she saw peoplepletely surrounding the area before her. From their discussions, she found out what happened.


    Bitao was actually chased and killed by debt collectors. Not only her, even her parents, along with a very young younger brother had all been killed. Currently, the authorities were investigating, but from the looks of things, it was just for show. They casually looked at and walked around the little dwelling. Very likely, they simply wouldn¡¯t be able to find out anything significant at all.


    Luo Qing Luan had originally wanted to find Bitao to ask her what actually happenedst night. If she found out that Bitao really served her mother before, then she could even give her some money to treat her wounds. Who would¡¯ve known......she actually camete.


    She absolutely didn¡¯t believe that this scene was as simple as a case of being chased down and killed by a debt collector. If things were truly like that, then how could the entire street full of people know what went on so quickly? Shouldn¡¯t those debt collectors be more discreet and cleaner, to avoid being discovered?


    More likely, there were people who deliberately spread rumors in an attempt to find a reasonable justification for the deaths to hide the truth of this matter. These deaths were so coincidental. As it happened, Bitao was punished just yesterday and was already killed today. The implications within these events truly caused Luo Qing Luan to ponder.


    "Let¡¯s go, Dai Yue, let¡¯s go home."


    "My Lady, Sister Bitao died so miserably......" Dai Yue was somewhat aggrieved, the rim of her eyes turned entirely red.


    "If she truly died unjustly, I won¡¯t easily let the murderer go free."

    <h4></h4>


    Luo Qing Luan returned to the General¡¯s Mansion, and changed once again, then asked Dai Yue to bring Nanny Song.


    "My Lady, what do you need from me?" Nanny Song¡¯s face was filled with wrinkles, as if she was a bit tired. With one look, it was apparent that she had been busy. Luo Qing Luan allowed her to sit down, then had Dai Yue pour her a cup of tea. Only after she rested and drank some tea did Luo Qing Luan speak.


    "Last night, I heard that Father¡¯s Concubine¡¯s room was quite noisy, so I had Dai Yue go make inquiries. Does Wet Nurse know the situation with the servant named Bitao?" She didn¡¯t ask directly. Luo Qing Luan approached it a bit tactfully, not wanting to rm Nanny Song.


    "Sigh, why is My Lady asking about this?"


    Nanny Song seemed to not have expected this question, but she still answered. "During these years, the side madam drove out all of the servants who once served the Madam. Otherwise, she found some reason to beat them to death. She truly has been ruthless. In the past, even I didn¡¯t know that Bitao had once served the Madam. I suddenly understood something only when I heard her yell something. If it weren¡¯t for that, I¡¯m afraid she also wouldn¡¯t have been......"


    With a nce, Luo Qing Luan asked, "what did she yell?"


    Nanny Song creased her eyebrows, seemingly recalling memories. "At that time, I just happened to pass by the side madam¡¯s courtyard and was getting ready to boil water in the kitchen, when I heard Bitao¡¯s voice. She said something indiscernible, but was immediately pped. After that, she screamed and said something about safflower soup."


    Nanny Song originally didn¡¯t notice anything until she heard the ruckus from the side madam¡¯s room, so she stopped to listen. Who knew that soon after, the side madam threw a fit and said that Bitao seduced the Master or something. It was aplete mess at the time, drawing the attention of quite a few servants. She also wasn¡¯t able to hear very clearly.


    Safflower soup? Once she heard this, Luo Qing Luan had a thought.


    Even though safflower is a kind of medicine, it wasn¡¯t something that anyone can casually use. If the dosage was too high, it could cause a miscarriage. Consequently, not matter whether it was the imperial harem, or an average home, this flower wouldn¡¯t easily appear.


    "Wet nurse, do you know that Bitao died today?" Luo Qing Luan asked probingly.


    "Uh......died? Bitao died?" Nanny Song was shocked. Her eyes contained an unspeakable fear and surprise. She appearedpletely dazed, as if she¡¯d lost her soul, then lowered her head losing herposure. It was as if she¡¯d forgotten that Luo Qing Luan was still beside her, muttering continually, mouth not stopping, but it was unclear what she was saying.


    "Wet nurse, what¡¯s up?" Once she saw Nanny Song¡¯s appearance, Luo Qing Luan was even more suspicious.


    Because Bitao already died, maybe besides Wang Xue Ru, no one else knew exactly what happenedst night. However, Wang Xue Ru would absolutely not tell the truth even if she was asked. She merely scolded and beat a servant. As the side madam, even Luo Cheng wouldn¡¯t casually find fault with her.


    And the only other person who heard something at the time was Nanny Song, yet she also didn¡¯t know the details. Moreover, from her appearance, she was clearly hiding something. She¡¯s afraid that in order to investigate this matter properly, she still needed to start with Nanny Song.


    "Wet Nurse, tell me, is it because Bitao once served my mother that Father¡¯s Concubine had her beaten to death?"


    With the mention of the former Madam, Nanny Song suddenly changed and looked at Luo Qing Luan with a solemnly, as if she sensed something. She was frightened, hesitating whether she should speak out.


    It¡¯s just that......she also merely suspected what might¡¯ve happened at that time and did not have any conclusive evidence. If the Young Lady were to know, and she rashly went to find the side madam to make inquiries, how would that not be harmful to her instead?


    It¡¯s still better to wait. Presently, the eldest daughter had married, so the youngdy is the only daughter left by the Master¡¯s side. Moreover, thedy is no longer like she was in the past, perhaps the Master will slowly change his view of her. Maybe it would be much better to mention this matter to her when that time came.


    "I also don¡¯t know. After all, I don¡¯t know Bitao that well. Regarding this......" Nanny Song already had a n, so she did not disclose everything that she knew. Luo Qing Luan asked a few more questions, but wasn¡¯t able to find out anything else, so she just dropped the subject.


    Allowing Nanny Song to withdraw and go rest, Luo Qing Luan stopped their conversation as cleanly as possible, pushing this matter to the bottom of her mind. For the time being, she no longer pursued it.


    Just as she prepared to go find Boss Li, Luo Qing Luan never expected that the father who never attached any importance to her at all would actually specificallye to see her.


    The smiling expression on his face was brighter than usual, contrasting with Wang Xue Ru¡¯s especially unsightly expression by his side. Luo Qing Luan had no idea what¡¯s going on, but judging by Luo Cheng¡¯s pretty good expression, it shouldn¡¯t be something bad.


    "Father had never visited my little courtyard before. Is there a reason you¡¯re looking for me today?" Luo Qing Luan asked unenthusiastically, not smiling much at all.


    An awkward expression shed as Luo Cheng coughed then cleared his throat. "Does there have to be a reason for your father to visit you? Just now, Her Highness the Empress had someone send a verbal order and bestowed some things upon you. I especially brought them here to give to you."


    So that¡¯s what it was. Not surprising considering that her father was someone who doesn¡¯t do much without an ulterior motive. Only now did Luo Qing Luan notice that there were two servants following behind Luo Cheng while carrying some things.


    After the servants left the items on the table top, Luo Cheng took another nce at her courtyard, which was not picturesque in the least. There were even weeds everywhere. As for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s bedroom, it was even more simple and crude. There wasn¡¯t even a single decorative item. He spoke. "Qing Luan, the courtyard you¡¯re living in is a bit worn down, you should find someone to remodel it a bit. You also should have some people redecorate your dwelling......"


    What¡¯s the deal here now? The father who had never cared about her, when did he be so kindhearted?

    Chapter 46a: Hypocritical Change


    <h4></h4>


    "Father, I¡¯ve lived like this for ten over years. Why should I change at this time?" Luo Qing Luan interrupted him and continued indifferently, "There¡¯s no need. Let¡¯s avoid wasting money so that Father¡¯s Concubine won¡¯t be distressed."


    Luo Cheng looked totally awkward and smiled with difficulty. "Why would Father¡¯s Concubine be distressed. I said to make changes for you, so it will be done. Or else, what if the Imperial Pce send people and they see that you live in this way. They¡¯ll even mistake that we don¡¯t treat you well."


    "Can it be that Father think that I¡¯ve lived very well all these years?" Luo Qing Luan smiled derisively.


    "You......"


    Luo Cheng was angered into a bind, unable to vent. The fake smile on his face twitched repeatedly. Brushing his sleeve in anger, he continued, "I¡¯m full of good intentions, yet you still talk like that. If it weren¡¯t for Her Highness sending someone today to speak of yesterday¡¯s matter, so that I know you¡¯ve made progress, do you think that I¡¯d be willing for you to refurbish your courtyard?"


    "Why don¡¯t you consider how your ghastly appearance and manners were before, so unbearably stupid. How were you anything like what a general¡¯s daughter ought to be? It wasn¡¯t bad for you to have fallen into the water. You were originally divorced by Fifth Prince, so I thought that you won¡¯t be able to marry for the rest of your life. Presently, it¡¯s not easy for His Highness the Crown Prince to be interested in you. You should properly grasp this opportunity. Don¡¯t continue to be as stupid as you were in the past!"


    Standing by the side, Wang Xue Ru sourly interjected, "Qing Luan, your father actually ced high hopes on you. He¡¯s actually even more worried about you than Qing Shuang. If you fail to obtain the crown prince¡¯s favor, wouldn¡¯t that betray your father¡¯s hopes?"


    With a soft sneer, Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t care about her, as she nced at Luo Cheng with indifference. "So it¡¯s all because the crown prince is interested in me that Father is treating me better? Heh heh, should I thank the crown prince for taking a fancy to me, then? Otherwise, even my own father won¡¯t attach any importance to me."


    Easily infuriated by Luo Qing Luan, Luo Cheng was about to detonate when his eyes fell again on the two trays of gifts on the table. Thinking of something, his anger slowly disappeared.


    "Forget it. Your heart harbors a bit of resentment. This father is also understanding, but you need to remember. When all is said and done, I¡¯m still your father. You¡¯ve grown up now and should also be sensible. Look, your elder sister is already married to Fifth Prince, so you also should work a bit harder. If you can smoothly marry the crown prince, then our General¡¯s Mansion will gain supreme honor."


    If it wasn¡¯t for thinking of this point, how could Luo Cheng control his temper.


    The second daughter who had been unpleasant to look at for ten over years, even though she seemed to have been reborn, it still was not so easy at all to change an impression that already prated deeply into the bone marrow. However, calling to mind how Luo Qing Luan recently had indeed changed greatly, Moreover, she even obtained Her Highness the Empress¡¯ consideration. What¡¯s even more rare was that Nangong Qing already fell for her. This was something he would never could have imagined.


    If Luo Qing Luan could marry the crown prince, then he will be the nation¡¯s future emperor¡¯s father-inw. Once he thought of this, Luo Cheng¡¯s heart burned fervently.


    "Oh, by the way, the Mid-autumn festival is next month. At that time, the Imperial Pce will surely set up a feast. You should properly prepare. If you can shine on that day, then that will also bring back some face to our General¡¯s Mansion."


    Luo Chengughed, exhorting her over and over again. "Qing Luan, have you remembered this? Actually, gaining face is the small matter. The key is that you need to reveal your talents to the crown prince, so that he will like you even more. If Her Highness the Empress consequently appoint you as the crown prince¡¯s consort, then that will truly be what¡¯s most important. Father also wants what¡¯s good for you. To be able to marry the crown prince means that you¡¯ll be the future empress. Which young girl doesn¡¯t long for this? Since you have the chance, then you need to properly grasp it, understand?"


    This father of hers indeed ced benefits above all else, heh! Once Luo Qing Luan heard this, even though a smile still hung on her face, her heart already wished that she could kick Luo Cheng out.


    Even though he acted as if it was for her own good, which part of what he said wasn¡¯t as if he wanted to sell his daughter? For the sake of his own wealth and glory, status and power, he simply didn¡¯t care whether she actually liked the crown prince, or whether she¡¯d be happy married to him. In her father¡¯s eyes, if there wasn¡¯t still some use for her, how would he speak to her like he was today? Forget about remodeling her house, it¡¯d be good if he didn¡¯t curse or scold her.


    Her heart already turned cold early on. No matter what Luo Cheng said, or how kind he acted, she still wouldn¡¯t forgive him anymore.


    Listening to Wang Xue Ru¡¯s sour tone of voice, Luo Qing Luan felt that it¡¯s quite funny.


    Wang Xue Ru kept saying that her Qing Shuang¡¯s luck was bad. If her luck wasn¡¯t bad, how would she only be married to Fifth Prince? If Qing Shuang was still single, perhaps the one that the crown prince fancied would be Qing Shuang, and not her, Luo Qing Luan.


    "That¡¯s true, Elder Sister¡¯s luck is indeed a little bad. If not, when that novel was published, how could His Majesty have bestowed her to Fifth Prince to be his concubine?" Luo Qing Luan spared no politeness and again mentioned the matter that made Wang Xue Ru most shameful. "However, Father¡¯s Concubine should also be content with the situation. In any case, Elder Sister has already be Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort. Maybe when she gives birth to a little heir, she¡¯ll be Fifth Prince¡¯s consort."


    "That¡¯s of course!"


    Wang Xue Ru was endlessly indignant. Once she thought about this matter, she felt suffocated with anger and couldn¡¯t help but curse. "Whoever that damn bastard was, to go as far as to start a rumor about Qing Shuang and Fifth Prince at the time, iming that they......"


    "That¡¯s enough, this kind of matter is shameful enough as it is, yet you still bring it up!"


    Luo Cheng solemnly interrupted Wang Xue Ru¡¯s outburst, then instructed Luo Qing Luan again to increase her zither practice, so that she could exhibit a graceful bearing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Only that was what¡¯s most important.


    Having watched Luo Qing Shuang y the zither, Luo Cheng even had servants bring the zither from Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s room and was finally satisfied. "Mn, indeed not bad. Continue to put in effort." He stroked his beard and smiled. "Qing Luan, since your sister is married, let¡¯s give this zither of hers to you. Remember to practice everyday."

    Chapter 46b: Hypocritical Change


    "Master, but this is the zither that Qing Shuang liked the most......"


    "So what? Qing Shuang is already married, and won¡¯t be using this zither any longer. Moreover, what will Fifth Prince not buy her as long as she wants it?" Luo Cheng was totally unhappy and didn¡¯t pay any attention to Wang Xue Ru at all.


    She originally didn¡¯t want it, but seeing Wang Xue Ru¡¯s reluctant appearance, Luo Qing Luan smiled instead and replied. "Thank you, Father. I¡¯ll remember."


    If Wang Xue Ru¡¯s unhappy about it, she¡¯ll dly take it.


    After Luo Cheng left, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t obediently stay in her room to practice. Rather, she brought the book she finished writingst night and left to find Boss Li.


    Even though she¡¯d earned no small amount of money from Heavenly Dream Tower, and she estimated that next month, Sir Yu should again be sending her a few thousand taels of silver, as far as she was concerned, of course the more money the better.


    This time, Luo Qing Luan already finished writing the second half of that racy romance fromst time and even finished the erotic illustrations. She gave them both to Boss Li. However, she warned him that he must sell the book for half a month first, before offering the erotic illustrations for sale. That way, those men¡¯s appetite could be whetted properly. The illustrated versions were always more impactful than the in written novels. Moreover, her drawing skills were not bad, taking advantage of haze and strategic concealment to maximize the aesthetic qualities. Although for the average person, seeing these things required some sneaking around, Luo Qing Luan had already experienced so much. She¡¯d already be immune to the ¡¯hundred poisons¡¯.


    Little racy novels......a hah, as far as she was concerned, they¡¯re simply a piece of cake!


    The crucial point was that they could make money!


    Amid Boss Li¡¯s greetings, Luo Qing Luan took her three thousand taels of silver share of profits from the recent sales. She didn¡¯t feel reassured with putting too much money at home, so she straightforwardly deposited it with the Myriad Treasures Exchange just in case.


    After doing these things, Luo Qing Luan found it difficult not to think again of what happenedst time and circled around to find Bitao¡¯s house, which had already been sealed off. As expected, an announcement had already been posted, saying that Bitao¡¯s entire family had been killed by some ¡¯John Doe¡¯ debt collector. Currently, they were pursuing the killers in full force and will very quickly be able to bring justice to the deceased.


    "Bring justice? Heh heh, truly ironic." After a quick look, Luo Qing Luan turned around and left.


    Bitao basically died precisely because of Wang Xue Ru. How did it turn into a death caused by debt collectors? Very likely, Wang Xue Ru had given the authorities who knew how much benefits under the table, so that they had fabricated this story so quickly. They¡¯d avoided rming the surrounding people while killing people to silence them.


    Ordinarily, Father¡¯s Concubine looked to be delicate and weak, acting coquettishly and pretending to be virtuous in front of Luo Cheng all day. Yet privately, her face changedpletely. Luo Qing Luan was the one who experienced this the most. If Wang Xue Ru wasn¡¯t a genuinely heartless woman, how could she have taught a daughter like Luo Qing Shuang?


    In order to reach a goal, no means were spared. In order to cling onto Fifth Prince, she even supported something like having her daughter seduce Nangong Chen, and also attempted to drown her. This pair of mother and daughter were already treacherous and murderous to the extreme. It¡¯s unknown how many unspeakable things they¡¯d done during these years.


    Very likely her mother¡¯s death at the time, truly might¡¯ve involved some issue.


    Presently, besides making money, what Luo Qing Luan thought about the most was to quickly and thoroughly investigate the truth about what happened back then. It¡¯s just that, Nanny Song, who apparently knows something, did not want to speak. Was it possible that she had misgivings about something? Or maybe she also didn¡¯t know much?


    In any case, if she wanted to slowly look into this matter, she first needed to start the investigation with Wang Xue Ru.


    Since Luo Cheng already agreed to let her remodel her courtyard and to buy some furnishings, she also wouldn¡¯t be modest. On the next day, she made a list of items and had Dai Yue deliver it to Luo Cheng.


    She didn¡¯t care much for other furniture, but Luo Qing Luan had Luo Cheng make her several bookshelves and also had him bring back all of the books that could be bought at the capital. Of course, these included only those books which were ¡¯suitable¡¯ for her to read, such as those in regards to ady¡¯s virtues, Confucian morals, or all kinds of musicpositions, paintings, calligraphy manuals, poetry and literature, etc.


    Luo Cheng seriously thought that her personality turned for the better and that she wanted to strive to improve herself for the sake of bing the crown prince¡¯s consort, so he readily agreed. Even if he spent more than a thousand taels of silver, he hardly regretted it at all and even had her buy as many as possible for in depth study.


    However, Luo Qing Luan merely wanted a few medical books, that¡¯s all. She wanted to avoid invoking suspicion when she revealed her abilities in the future. With these books as a screen, at that time, she could im that she learned those things from books. At most, other people might consider her to be a genius. As long as she could have an excuse, it¡¯s fine.


    Very quickly, the Mid-autumn Festival arrived in the middle of August along with the Full Moon Feast. As expected, the imperial pce sent numerous invitations to everyone, just likest time. Every high-borndy with some reputation had all been invited. Luo Qing Luan naturally was also not an exception.


    It¡¯s just that she didn¡¯t expect that she had not even left when she surprisingly received a personal invitation from Marquis of Xuan Ping¡¯s young daughter, Yuchi Lianqing. The mentioned invitation said: I¡¯ve heard of the second Miss Luo¡¯s talented name spreading far and wide. This time, I¡¯ll need to properly ask for your guidance regarding the poems discussed during the Full Moon Feast. I hope that you¡¯ll be generous with your advice.


    This Yuchi Lianqing was actually the country of Western Chu¡¯s number one beauty and talent. The wind has been blowing vigorously. When was she acquainted with this girl?


    Her words sounded genteel and she was extremely polite. It¡¯s just a pity that Luo Qing Luan did not have the slightest impression of her. Moreover, this was clearly a more like a written war challenge. How could she believe that this Yuchi Lianqing really approached her in order to be friends?


    Luo Qing Luanughed indifferently. She¡¯d heard that Yuchi Lianqing and the third princess, Nangong Wan¡¯er were very close friends. She reckoned that this girl wanted to take revenge on behalf of Nangong Wan¡¯er for what happened at the Flower Bestowment Feastst time. Wanting to properly embarrass her, right?

 Chapter 47 part1

    <strong>Chapter 47a: Mid-Autumn Festival</strong>


    Although Yuchi Lianqing is famous in the world, since she dared to openly send an invitation, that proved that she was already prepared early on. However, when had Luo Qing Luan ever been afraid of conversation?


    If nothing happened, so be it, but since someone deliberately picked on her, then she wouldn¡¯t take it sitting down.


    In kind, she very politely responded to the invitation, saying that Miss Yuchi was a model female schr in the present age of Grand Schr Lin Xian Zhu. She dared not give guidance and even hoped that Miss Yuchi will give some pointers. At that time, they could admire the full moon to their heart¡¯s content......h h h, she wrote a bunch, then sealed the letter and gave it to someone from the Marquis¡¯ mansion in reply.


    Leaving aside Yuchi Lianqing¡¯s reaction when she read Luo Qing Luan¡¯s reply, within three quick days, the capital unexpectedly exploded with no small number of rumors, saying the the second Miss Luo from the General¡¯s Mansion came out with some conceited nonsense, making arrogant and conceited derations. She actually wanted to fight for the title of number one female talent during the Mid-Autumn Feast. This immediately made everyone focus on the originally very ordinary feast.


    Every year, the Mid-Autumn Feast was held. Since it¡¯s arranged by the imperial pce, as far as those small families and small officials were concerned, this feast was simply too prestigious and unapproachable. They could only observe from afar with envy. However, as far as those genuinely wealthy and noble daughters were concerned, this was practically the same as an old game, nothing interesting.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this time, there was a possibility of meeting the crown prince and an opportunity to shine in front of Her Highness the Empress, they simply would not have considered the event to be of any importance.


    But suddenly, this Luo Qing Luan popped up and surprisingly dered a challenge against all of the female talents within the entire country of Western Chu. For a period of time, events unfolded unrestrainedly sharply, instantly offending everyone.


    Naturally, Luo Cheng reprimanded Luo Qing Luan fiercely, saying that she knew nothing about a daughter¡¯s modesty and reservedness, to actually make such unruly statements. Luo Qing Luan was also toozy to exin. In any case, Luo Cheng wouldn¡¯t believe her anyway.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care what happened, since this rumor has already spread, you have to seize the title of number one female talent for me.¡± Luo Cheng¡¯s expression was solemn along with a bit of strictness. He continued in a heavy tone of voice. ¡°The empress is also attending the Mid-Autumn Feast this time, you have to leave a deep impression on her, and be even more lovable. At today¡¯s morning court, His Majesty mentioned crown prince¡¯s marriage again and even asked all of the officials to have their daughters of marriageable age participate. I¡¯ve already made preparations for you in advance. If you¡¯re unable to seize.....¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m unable to win the title of number one female talent, can it be that Father will punish me?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan shot this question neither softly nor firmly, with a faint smile. She seemingly didn¡¯t take this matter to heart at all.


    ¡°You......¡±,


    Luo Cheng felt more and more that he was incapable of disciplining Luo Qing Luan. She was previously Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee, yet was unbearably ugly and stupidly love-struck. With difficulty, she¡¯d now recovered her original appearance and became beautiful, as well as clever. Clearly, her reputation suffered from the divorce and was no longer marriage material.


    Yet another opportunity came, but she surprisingly didn¡¯t care about it in the least?


    In the end, considering that tonight was an important night, Luo Cheng endured. He held back from letting loose the rest of his reproach. ¡°Qing Luan, no matter what, this crown prince consort position is something you have to fight for. Since her Highness the Empress already has a favorable opinion of you, and the crown prince already fell for you, you¡¯re the most hopeful. As long as you make a good showing tonight, it should be fine.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan replied absent-mindedly, saw that the time was about right, and entered the horse carriage, which speedily galloped towards the imperial pce.


    Not taking Luo Cheng¡¯s words seriously at all, epting tonight¡¯s invitation was just something she should do, that¡¯s all. It went without saying that there were many things in life which we¡¯re helpless against, things we didn¡¯t want to do, yet still had to do. She most disliked being restricted by nature, so was even more unwilling to be forced. Fortunately, she merely had to attend a Mid-autumn feast tonight. It¡¯s still something she could still barely ept.


    As for Yuchi Lianqing¡¯s provocation?


    Just wait and see. It¡¯s already good of her to not provoke others, yet others even came to provoke her? Regardless of whether they¡¯re nobledies or princesses, she¡¯d still strike back ordingly.


    After Luo Qing Luan entered the pce, the day had already started to darken. A clear and bright moon was rising into the sky.


    The weather wasn¡¯t bad. There wasn¡¯t a cloud in the grey expanse. The moonlight shone brighter and brighter, like a silver te hanging in the distant firmament. This time, the feast was held in Phoenix Presence Hall at Morning Sun Pce. This was the coolest ce within the entire imperial pce. Each year, the emperor and empress woulde here to escape the summer heat.


    The imperial garden was huge. There were countless numbers of artificialkes. An underwater spring bubbled forth incessantly day and night. In addition, the garden was filled with an abundance of flowers, grasses, trees, and was extremely beautiful.


    Tonight, not only was Morning Sun Pce not quiet, it was instead filled withughter and joyous mour. One after another,nterns hung packed along the sides of the winding corridors in the pce, lighting up their surroundings like it was daytime. Countless numbers of pce maids dressed in motley attire carried tes of fruits and fragrant tea shuttling back and forth. They offered all kinds of foods and drinks.


    When Luo Qing Luan arrived at Phoenix Presence Hall, a great number of high borndies had already arrived dressed in bright colors. Each and every one of them made up and disying elegant poses. Some stood along the corridors, some congregated in groups of three or four under the pavilions, even more encircled the open spaces by theke, admiring the full moon and chatting while seated on woven mats.


    Countless numbers of tables had already been set up within the open spaces at an earlier time. Every kind of fruits, pastries, and necessities were disyed on them. Slices of watermelon, enticing grapes, fresh and tasty muskmelon, also iced pickled plum drink......


    However, basically, no one was interested in these things. Even though everyone seemed to be chatting while admiring the full moon, from time to time, they were clearly ncing left and right. Apparently, they were waiting for someone to arrive, yet were afraid others would notice them looking around. They appeared extremely ridiculous.

 Chapter 47 part2

    Chapter 47b: Mid-Autumn Festival


    <h4></h4>


    No doubt they were waiting for the empress and crown prince?


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. If she had a choice, she¡¯d rather y at home, or maybe go visit Immortal Dream Tower to see how Mr. Yu¡¯s business wasing along. Either would be better than wasting time with these hypocritical aristocratic youngdies.


    The current time should be between 7-9 pm. There¡¯s still a while before the feast officially starts. Luo Qing Luan found a ce with fewer people to sit down. The te of watermelon in front of her stirred her appetite and she couldn¡¯t help but pick up a piece to enjoy slowly. A cool breeze blew gently, also not bad.


    "Sigh, I was wondering who is sitting here sneakily. Turns out it¡¯s the second Miss Luo." She barely ate two bites before a peculiar voice was heard. Even though it sounded sweet and pleasant, the tone of voice actually caused a person to be less than impressed.


    Luo Qing Luan turned her head and saw a young girl about her age standing before her. With a look, it could be ascertained that her light purple redbud flower dress was made from the best ice silk. As a matter of fact, movingly bright and beautiful. It¡¯s just that the sneer on her face destroyed her innocent, pure and virtuous impression.


    There were also two fifteen or sixteen year-old young girls by her side, with equally noble auras. With one look, they could be seen to be daughters of distinguished families. Among them, a slender young girl wearing pearl earrings used her thin silk handkerchief to cover her mouth. With a ¡¯pffft¡¯, sheughed, "As expected, it¡¯s the second Miss Luo. No wonder! Last time, when we saw her, she was like a starving ghost gorging herself with food at the Flower Bestowment Feast. It¡¯s still the same this time. Looks just like General Luo has never allowed her to eat her fill."


    "Mingzhu, is it possible that you haven¡¯t heard. Since birth, Miss Luo jinxed her own mother to death. It goes without saying that she¡¯s never received General Luo¡¯s favor. Whenever she¡¯s able to grasp an opportunity to eat her fill, she naturally wouldn¡¯t let it go to waste." The other round faced young girl also mocked, while a wisp of envy streaked through her eyes.


    Not to mention her, even the most beautiful woman in Western Chu, Marquis of Xuanping¡¯s daughter, Yuchi Lianqing, also couldn¡¯tpare with Luo Qing Luan¡¯s looks! A body of floating white clothes, temperament like an angel untouched by dust, snowy and tender skin like fine porcin, ten slender fingers like spring onions......in the past, everybody thought that this Luo Qing Luan was utterly ugly. Who could have imagined that she was so stunning?


    What a crafty girl. She unexpectedly had always concealed herself until Her Highness the Empress wanted to pick a consort for the crown prince, then she immediately severed the engagement with Fifth Prince, with the intention of climbing an even higher branch?


    Even though it¡¯s their second meeting, these three people immediately took Luo Qing Luan to be an ambitious, scheming female and hated her at once.


    There was only one crown prince and there was only one position of crown prince consort. If it was taken by Luo Qing Luan, then how would they have a share?


    Seeing that Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t pay attention to them, Fang Mingzhu angrily was the first to speak. "What, looking down on us? Disinclined to even speak to us? Luo Qing Luan, don¡¯t you think that because of ying the zitherst time, the empress......"


    "Where did a noisy stray doge from in the imperial pce, disturbing a person¡¯s peace?"


    Unexpectedly, Luo Qing Luan suddenly spoke. As she spoke, she even looked around everywhere. Once she saw the three girls whose expressions changed drastically, she continued as if having discovered something. "Oh, I thought it was a stray dog. Turns out it¡¯s Miss Fang, Miss Zhuang, and Miss Wen, the three of you......sorry, I spoke without thinking. Please don¡¯t take offense, by all means."


    As the leader, Fang Mingzhu was immediately so angry that she gnashed her teeth, pointed at Luo Qing Luan, and replied furiously. "You. Luo Qing Luan, you actually dare to call us dogs! However, this is Morning Sun Pce, not a ce where you can be impudent."


    "Miss Fang, you¡¯re incorrect. I sat here peacefully admiring the full moon. It seems that you¡¯re the ones who came over on your own toe reproach me, right?" Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly then nced at the three of them before paying no more attention. She then ced her attention again on the pot in front of her and poured herself a cut of pickled plum juice, slowly drinking it.


    How could the Fang Mingzhu trio ept such a disdainful attitude? Which one of them wasn¡¯t of a precious, noble identity and also pretty. Ordinarily, anyone meeting them would pay many words ofpliments, praising them for being educated and well-bnced, sweet-tempered and pleasant.


    Contrarily, Luo Qing Luan mocked them with such abandon. They suddenly felt their faces lost altogether and became enraged.


    At the Flower Bestowment Feastst time, the imperial censor¡¯s daughter, Wenwan, already couldn¡¯t stand the p from Luo Qing Luan. With difficulty, she showed off to the empress for once, yet the result was that her limelight was forcibly snatched away by Luo Qing Luan, she already intended to give thetter a lesson.


    Today is the Mid-autumn festival¡¯s moon-viewing feast and is also the once a year poetry recital gathering. They already heard that Luo Qing Luan was totally illiterate. Even if she¡¯d recovered her appearance, she would still be an idiot as before. This was just the right opportunity to shame her.


    Wenwan immediately pulled Fang Mingzhu in ce and changed to a smiling expression, advancing one step to say, "The second Miss Luo is indeed eloquent. I heard you say a few days ago that you wanted to obtain the title of ¡¯most talented girl¡¯ during today¡¯s poetry gathering. Since you have this confidence, it may be assumed that the second Miss Luo is erudite and learned, eloquent and poetic?"


    Sending a meaningful nce to the other two people for them to watch a good show, she smiled and said, "At tonight¡¯s festival, I wonder if Miss Luo can first recite a poem, and allow us to experience it for ourselves?"


    Recite poetry? Luo Qing Luan smiled.


    Even though she knew countless poems fromter generations and could recite from memory poems of all kinds of subject matter, in all kinds of styles, she had never made it a habit to giarize and took other people¡¯s works to be her own. She was originally unable topose poetry, why would she want to satisfy these people, allowing them to watch her perform, like a monkey?


    Putting down the teacup in her hand, Luo Qing Luan smiled lightly. "Sorry, I don¡¯t know how to recite poetry."


    Having already considered a multitude of replies, Wenwan already prepared all kinds of responses to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s reply. Unexpectedly, her words ¡¯don¡¯t know¡¯pletely threw her prepared responses into disorder.


    The trio froze, following which they covered up their mouths andughed delicately. "Didn¡¯t Miss Luo want to challenge Miss Yuchi and contest over the title of ¡¯most talented girl¡¯? Surprisingly, you say that you don¡¯t know how to recite poetry? This simply makes peopleugh to death!"

 Chapter 48

    Chapter 48a: Mouth Stinks So Much


    <h4></h4>


    The burst ofughter on this side immediately drew the other youngdies¡¯ interest. In but a moment, tens more girls came.


    "Miss Wen, what are you guysughing about?"


    "Is there something funny happening? Tell us so we can share in the fun."


    A few girls who were familiar with Wenwan¡¯s group inquired, their gazes sweeping over Luo Qing Luan from time to time. They evidently also recognized her.


    At the feastst time, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s tune yed like the sounds of nature, stunning countless numbers of people and word spread throughout the capital. However, as far as these young girls who aspired to be the crown prince¡¯s consort where concerned, the more outstanding Luo Qing Luan was, the more she drew people¡¯s attention, the more she¡¯d seize attention away from them. How could they not be hateful and envious?


    Just as she intended, seeing so many people drawn over, a sneer filled Fang Mingzhu¡¯s face as she opened her mouth. "Everyone should already know that the second Miss Luo wanted to challenge Miss Yuchi tonight to fight over the title of ¡¯most talented girl¡¯. Just now, we invited her to recite a poem and honor our ears. However, Miss Luo unexpectedly said that she didn¡¯t know how. You guys tell us, is that not funny?"


    That round faced girl among the trio, the Secretary of Agriculture¡¯s daughter, Zhuang Yn, immediately smiled coldly. "What¡¯s so funny. Clearly, Miss Luo looks down on us and feels we¡¯re beneath her dignity."


    Wenwan added ordingly, pouring oil into the fire. "Naturally. Otherwise, how can Miss Luo not do us the honor and be unwilling to just recite a poem?" Having just finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and added. "Don¡¯t tell me that Miss Luo really is unable and is really an idiot?"


    "Miss Wen¡¯s mouth stinks so much. Is it because you ate stinky tofu for lunch at home which hasn¡¯t been digested, yet?"


    Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan, who had been quiet, spoke out. She looked at Wenwan expressionlessly, with a smile that¡¯s not a smile. "Miss Wenwan. It¡¯s actually not good to eat too much of something like stinky tofu. Moreover, the gains don¡¯t make up for the losses, if, on ount of loving good food, such an odor on a precious youngdy like you causes people to mock you, right?"


    rmed, Wenwan blurted, "How did you know that I......"


    Her voice came to an abrupt stop. She suddenly realized what she let slip, as herplexion changed from red to white. Unfortunately, there¡¯s no longer a way to take back those words.


    Her addiction to eating stinky tofu was a habit she acquired two years ago. Originally, she was merely curious what her servants were eating sneakily. Who could have imagined that after smelling the strange odor, she inexplicably could not give it up.


    Her parents also once admonished her. This kind of food was something that lower ss people ate, so they wouldn¡¯t allow her to touch it again. However, it was as if she was enchanted, and simply fell in love with this special smell, to the extent that she pilfered the food from time to time.


    Now that she was put on the spot by Luo Qing Luan, the aristocraticdies around her immediately looked at her strangely. Each and every one of them kept away from her at lightning speed, afraid that her smell would rub off on them, their faces full of revulsion as they even used their hands to fan their noses.


    Wenwan was both angry and embarrassed and flew into a rage out of humiliation at once. "Luo Qing Luan, you¡¯re spouting rubbish. I haven¡¯t eaten such things."


    "You haven¡¯t?"


    Luo Qing Luan replied unflinchingly. "Impossible. I obviously smelled this kind of smell from Miss Wen¡¯s mouth. It clearly the smell left over from eating stinky tofu without cleaning one¡¯s mouth afterwards, ooh......otherwise, how can Miss Wen speak such smelly words?"


    "Shut up! Luo Qing Luan, you¡¯re spouting rubbish, shut up!"


    Only now did she know that she¡¯d been swindled, but Wenwan also couldn¡¯t figure it out. How did Luo Qing Luan guess that she ate stinky tofu so easily? Without time to ponder these things, Wenwan¡¯s expression distorted as her face changed from white to red almost red enough to drip blood. She could no longer stand the gazes from the surrounding people, as she lifted her dress and ran.


    In the midst of uproariousughter, everyone only recovered after a long while and looked at Luo Qing Luan again, a wisp of restraining fear residing in all of their gazes.


    They didn¡¯t expect it. When they saw herst time, she smiled gently in front of the empress while speaking in a soft voice. They even thought that Luo Qing Luan was someone with a good temper. Only meeting her today did they realize that she had no qualms about speaking out at all, able to kill people with her mouth alone.


    It wasn¡¯t at all because everyone was familiar with Wenwan. Rather, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s words just now birthed a restraining fear in their hearts that caused them to be afraid of provoking her in their own carelessness and experiencing what Wenwan just experienced. Each and every one of them couldn¡¯t help but distance themselves a little from her.


    Seeing how everyone had been scared in ce by Luo Qing Luan, how could Fang Mingzhu be willing to give up?


    "Miss Luo, we were talking about reciting poetry just now, why would you turn the topic towards Miss Wen?" Fang Mingzhuughed coldly and continued maliciously, "The bright moon is overhead tonight and it¡¯s also a once a year gathering to recite poetry. It¡¯s merely because heard that you wanted to challenge Miss Yuchi that we wanted to hear youpose poetry. What, now that everyone has arrived, you pretend to be incapable?"


    "Don¡¯t take us all for fools, Miss Luo. Everybody is waiting for you." Zhuang Yn also followed after.


    Honestly, Luo Qing Luan had already been very patient with these people harassing her. She finally stood up and responded indifferently. "Sorry, since everyone is here, then I¡¯ll make a deration in front of everybody. I have never said that I want to challenge Miss Yuchi. Moreover, I¡¯ve never said that I want the title of ¡¯most talented girl¡¯. As for who has been deliberately spreading these rumours, that has nothing to do with me."


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan deny, Fang Mingzhu and everyone were slightly stunned, then immediatelyughed coldly. "You can¡¯t say it that way. If Miss Luo truly didn¡¯t say those things before, why has the entire capital known about it?"


    Zhuang Yn looked around, then continued. "Exactly. A few days ago, I visited Miss Yuchi¡¯s home and personally saw the reply letter that Miss Luo wrote to Miss Yuchi. Don¡¯t tell me that this matter doesn¡¯t exist."


    "There was indeed a reply letter, however......"

 Chapter 48 part2

    Chapter 48b: Mouth Stinks Too Much


    <h4></h4>


    Luo Qing Luan hadn¡¯t finished what she was saying, when Zhuang Yn already interrupted her and spoke with a slight ridicule. "That reply letter clearly asked Miss Yuchi to provide guidance. Wasn¡¯t this in fact a challenge? Miss Luo, since you already spoke, and you¡¯ve already prepared for several days, why are you using all sorts of excuses when we invited you topose a poem?"


    "She obviously looks down on us. After all, we¡¯re not the kind of talented youngdy that Miss Yuchi is, who can be a challenge for Miss Luo." Immediately, someone spoke out sourly.


    Everyone increasingly became more discontented with Luo Qing Luan¡¯s attitude. Each and everyone of them wagging their tongues while looking at her with gazes brimming with hostility.


    Luo Qing Luan still said nothing. Why would she exin the truth when these people wouldn¡¯t believe her instead?


    Was it so strange not to be able topose poetry?


    She¡¯d never wanted to cause trouble, yet these people clearly had nothing to do after filling their stomachs, so they looked for her. Very likely, without properly pping their faces, these people truly would take her to be alone and easy to bully.


    Just at this time, a drawn out voice belonging to a pce eunuch called out loudly. "Her Highness the Empress arrives¡ª¡ª"


    The multitude of women were startled and promptly faced ahead, bowing with respect. "Greetings Your Highness the Empress."


    Tonight, as before, Empress Wang was poised and noble, smiling cheerfully, beautiful thick hair bedecked with jewels, disying the mother of a country¡¯s posture to the utmost, not the least bit inferior to the former empress. Her very long dress was arranged on the ground, appearing likeyers uponyers of clouds, as soft as cotton. She was supported by Imperial Consort Song. A group of pce maids followed behind her as she slowly stepped towards the seat in the middle.


    "Everyone, rise."


    Her gentle voice sounded as Empress Wang sat down, eyes carrying a smiling expression as she took a nce at everyone. Only after everyone returned to their original position did she speak. "Today is the Mid-autumn festival again, a night of reunion difficult toe by. His Majesty is at the Soaring Dragon Pce enjoying the night with a group of officials, so he won¡¯t being here. We can y on our own. Everyone should enjoy themselves to their heart¡¯s content tonight."


    Everyone replied extremely deferentially. "Your Highness is right."


    Empress Wang pursed her lips and smiled. "There¡¯s no need to be so reserved. Isn¡¯t there also a poetry gathering tonight? Has our talented youngdies arrived? I¡¯d already heard at an earlier time that Marquis of Xuan Ping¡¯s daughter¡¯s talent is outstanding and is a rare beauty in our Western Chu."


    As she spoke, she looked all around. As expected, a youngdy immediately gracefully stepped out and walked towards the center while paying her respects. "Yuchi Lianqing greets Your Highness."


    "Are you the duchess of Yiyang? Hurry ande over to my side. Let me take a good look at you." Empress Wang¡¯s eyes shined while her smile widened even more.


    Everyone, including Luo Qing Luan, also simultaneously turned to look at that youngdy. They only saw a fifteen to sixteen year old with a face which still revealed some childishness. However, that unruffled bearing and the tranquil elegance which was disyed on her entire body made her steadiness somewhat more impressive. An exquisite nose and small mouth, vermillion lips like delicate petals. Crystal earrings hung down and swayed gently on by the side of her face brushed with a very thinyer of cosmetics. Sparkling and translucent, their twinkling, flickering brilliance made her entire person seem even more like a goddess who descended upon the mundane world.


    Indeed not bad. No wonder she carried the title of Western Chu¡¯s number one beauty. Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly, but she just had that kind of feeling, that¡¯s all. After all, she wasn¡¯t a man. No matter how much more beautiful a woman was, she would still just observe them like that. It was even less likely for her to be envious of another¡¯s person¡¯s appearance.


    It¡¯s just that, whether this Miss Yuchi was in fact a talent like the rumours and furthermore was gentle, refined, and kindhearted was left to be seen.


    Light muslin swaying gently, Yuchi Lianqing raised her head slightly and replied gently. "Yes."


    After she spoke, she walked lightly like swaying lotuses, every frown and every smile, every move permeated with an other worldly loftiness which couldn¡¯t help but make everyone feel inferior and self-conscious. When she finally sat by Empress Wang¡¯s side, the smiling expression on her face became even more gentle and agreeable, birthing and even more favorable impression in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    "Indeed. What a beautiful young person. I wonder if you¡¯ve been promised already?" Imperial Consort Song also smiled as she looked upon her.


    "Responding to Imperial Consort. No." Yuchi Lianqing¡¯s voice sounded softly, somewhat bashful.


    "Then that¡¯s wonderful!" Imperial Consort Song immediately looked at Empress Wang and said, "Elder sister is so blessed. Doesn¡¯t His Majesty want to look for a consort for His Highness the Crown Prince? I feel that the duchess of Yiyang is very fitting! Not only is she the number one beauty, moreover, the fame of her talents spreads far and wide. She¡¯s indeed a choice candidate for the position of Crown Prince Consort. If my Huang¡¯er hasn¡¯t already......sigh, I just want to strive on Older Sister¡¯s behalf."


    Empress Wang smiled while Yuchi Lianqing was a faceful of bashfulness, lowering her head without speaking.


    After chatting for a bit, Imperial Consort Song continued. "Elder Sister since everyone has arrived, how about we start tonight¡¯s poetry meeting? I also would like to listen to all of these youngdies¡¯ works. This year¡¯spositions should be even better thanst year¡¯s."


    Nodding their heads, everyone¡¯s eyes shined with eagerness to try. Empress Wang replied. "Then good. We celebrate the Mid-autumn Festival every year. This year¡¯s rules are also about the same asst year¡¯s. Besides the reward that His Majesty and I will bestow upon the top three winners, each and everyone else who presents an unusually outstanding piece of writing, or a work of art that¡¯s new and refreshing will also be rewarded."


    For the many women participating in the Full Moon Feast, their main goal was precisely to obtain this cement.


    Previous years were nothing much. Although they could obtain the honor of His Majesty and Her Highness¡¯ reward, it¡¯s still merely some material possessions. As far as precious high borndies like them whocked nothing were concerned, those were merely a bit of reputation, that¡¯s all.


    However, it¡¯s different this year. Once they entered Her Highness¡¯ sights, or maybe His Majesty fancied theirposition, then that could possibly be the position of Crown Prince Consort. In fact, this had to do with their lifetime of happiness as well as their family¡¯s glory. Everyone was of the same mind as their spirits burned with fervor.


    "For this year¡¯s moon praising poems, I wonder who should be the first to start?"


    Empress Wang had just finished speaking when she looked for something among the crowd. "That¡¯s right. Has the second Miss Luo from the General¡¯s Mansion arrived? Where is she?"

 Chapter 49 part1

    Chapter 49a: Rules for the Mid-Autumn Festival¡¯s Poems Should be Changed


    <h4></h4>


    Just as someone stood up to be the first to recite poetry, they heard Empress Wang ask this question. That person¡¯s smile suddenly froze on her face. Everyone turned and looked towards a certain direction while Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyelids twitched. [Darn! She deliberately sat in the corner. Why did Her Highness still think of her?]


    Was it possible she really fancied her to be the crown prince consort? That would be anything but reassuring!


    But having no choice, she also could only brace herself as she stood up. "Greetings to Your Highness."


    Full of smiles, Empress Wang immediately waved towards Luo Qing Luan. "Come. Qing Luan, you alsoe and sit by my side."


    After she finished speaking, she looked at Yuchi Lianqing by her side, then looked again at Luo Qing Luan who¡¯s walking over. The two youngdies both had bright eyes and white teeth, outstanding and other worldly. Merely, one was dressed in white, fresh and pure, just like a heavenly immortal, while one was was adorned in a yellow pce dress, pretty, bright and beautiful. Based on appearance alone, it¡¯s truly difficult to say who was better.


    "Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Qing Luan bowed and sat at Empress Wang¡¯s left side and did not look at Yuchi Lianqing to the empress right side at all.


    "Last time, at Your Highness¡¯ Flower Bestowment feast, Lianqing health was out of sorts, so I didn¡¯t have the fortune to participate. Only today do I have the pleasure of meeting Miss Luo. This is truly regretful." Yuchi Lianqing actually smiled slightly as she looked at Luo Qing Luan while speaking. A bit of sincerity was disyed within her eyes, as if she really regretted not having met earlier.


    Empress Wang was puzzled as she asked, "Lianqing, what do you regret?"


    "Your Highness, I can see that Miss Luo is so young yet unmatched in our generation. I can¡¯t help but think about the past."


    The expression in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes altered. Very likely, this Duchess of Yiyang is up to something. As expected, she then heard her let out a sigh before saying faintly. "I wonder if Your Highness has heard the rumors which has spread throughout the capital previously. The second Miss Luo from the General¡¯s Mansion was an utterly vulgar, ugly woman. Not only was she madly obsessed with Fifth Prince, she also stabbed her sister in the back, ganged up with servants at her home, and was a love-struck fool."


    Speaking up to here, she paused. Sure enough, she saw a sh of astonishment streak across the empress¡¯ eyes while her brows knitted, apparently somewhat unhappily.


    Without the slightest difference in her facial expression, Yuchi Lianqing continued, "But only having personally seen Miss Luo today did I know that there¡¯s actually such a beauty in the world. Even I feel ashamed of my inferiority. Clearly, those rumors were all lies."


    The corners of her lips raised as she looked towards Luo Qing Luan and nodded with a smile on her face before saying softly, "Miss Luo, don¡¯t you care about thosemon people¡¯s crazy words. They¡¯re merely following the crowd, that¡¯s all. Tonight is the annual Full Moon poetry gathering. Naturally, Miss Luo is capable of bringing everyone a poetic masterpiece and have everyone know the purity of a faultless person, how you¡¯re not the kind of person that you¡¯re rumored to be at all."


    Looking at the girl facing her, whose face was covered in an appearance of goodwill, as if she was helping her speak on her behalf, Luo Qing Luan sneered in her heart.


    This Miss Yuchi truly deserved to be Nangong Wan¡¯er¡¯s bosom buddy. She actually helped the princess in this way, ridiculing her in front of everybody. Her previous reputation was in fact something that the Luo Qing Shuang mother and daughter originally started rumors about. She¡¯d nowpletely changed beyond recognition. Anyone could tell by looking.


    Yet Yuchi Lianqing insisted on bringing up her past, wasn¡¯t she deliberately bringing up her faults in front of everybody?


    Sure enough, these pampered aristocraticdies and imperial rtives, each and everyone of whom were not simple minded, who grew up withinrge mansions, if they don¡¯t have any scheming ability, how could the fame of their talents have easily spread throughout the capital?


    Empress Wang nodded repeatedly as she listened. The displeasure on her face reduced quite a bit as she pulled Luo Qing Luo¡¯s hand and said, "Mm, not bad, the main wife¡¯s daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion is naturally like a tiger¡¯s daughter. How can she be mediocre? Qing Luan, have you prepared for tonight¡¯s poetry meeting?"


    Most likely, Yuchi Lianqing had already investigated thoroughly earlier that she formerly had never touched these poems before? So she waited to hit her with it tonight. Otherwise, why would she spread those rumors iming that she wanted to strive for the title of the most talented girl in the capital?


    Luo Qing Luan naturally wouldn¡¯t fall into her web. Without the least bit of shame, she replied, "Empress Wang, I don¡¯t know how to recite poetry."


    "Hm? You don¡¯t know how......"


    Empress Wang stopped and continued in astonishment, "Qing Luan, you, you truly......"


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly, not minding it in the least as she replied, "Yes, Your Highness, how can I joke about this kind of thing. I really don¡¯t know how topose poetry. It may be only possible for me to recite some poems from books."


    She smiled gently and serenely, without the slightest bit of embarrassment, as if it was not an embarrassment at all for a high ssdy not not be able to paint andpose poetry, just like it was normal for someone from the nobility not to work the farms.


    "That can¡¯t be, right? Miss Luo is a noble daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion. You should have been schooled since little to learn these things. Why don¡¯t you know how?" Imperial Consort Song interrupted, also appearing very puzzled.


    Whispers erupted in around them. The multitude of women all heard Luo Qing Luan¡¯s unconcealed voice. Each and everyone of them now whispering while their faces disyed a sneering expression,pletely appearing as if they were both surprised and looked down upon her.


    Grasping this perfect timing, Yuchi Lianqing¡¯s eyes opened wide slightly and responded in an unconvinced tone, "Miss Luo is not joking, right?"


    "This is not something to brag about anyway. Why would I joke about it."to


    Luo Qing Luan was as calm and indifferent as before. "I already said this earlier. I truly don¡¯t know how topose poetry and paint, these kinds of things. My mother passed away early. My father grieved too much, so he¡¯d never bothered with me ever since my childhood. Naturally, I¡¯m not as blessed as other youngdies."


    Listening to hear somewhat grief filled voice, Empress Wang sighed, "It doesn¡¯t matter, Qing Luan, there¡¯s no harm in not knowing how topose poetry. Just take tonight as a chance to enjoy yourself. Listen to other people¡¯s poems. Eat a bit. Don¡¯t dwell on it too much, understand?"


    "Yes, Your Highness."

 Chapter 49 part2

    Chapter 49b: Rules for the Mid-Autumn Festival Should be Changed


    <h4></h4>


    With these words, Luo Qing Luan becamepletely rxed.


    So what if she doesn¡¯t know how topose poetry? At present, even Empress Wang didn¡¯t mind it and told her to sit there and enjoy herself. Let¡¯s see if anyone else dared to make trouble for her. As for this Miss Yuchi wanting to give her a p on the face, too bad she wouldn¡¯t have the chance.


    Yuchi Lianqing could be considered to have been let off lightly. Otherwise.....she¡¯d throw caution to the wind tonight and shamelessly recite those well-known poems written by famedter generation poets. Now that would truly cause the girl to be too embarrassed to meet people anymore, too ashamed as someone with the title of "most talented girl".


    This short episode passed very quickly. The crowd of women simply stopped after a fewments. Since their most formidable rival, Luo Qing Luan, won¡¯t be reciting poems, then she certainly wouldn¡¯t be able to show off tonight. They easily eliminated one rival. That¡¯s no doubt a good thing. They already made preparations earlier and were only waiting for tonight¡¯s poetry meeting to start, so that they could take out the poem that they prepared to obtain Empress Wang¡¯s notice.


    Right at 8 pm, the moon was overhead and the Full Moon Poetry Gathering officially started.


    The young girl who previously prepared to stand up and recite poetry finally grabbed the opportunity and rushed to bow towards Empress Wang. "Your Highness, I¡¯m Sun Qiao¡¯er. My father is the supervisor of Shanglin Institution, Sun Huidong. I¡¯d like to especially present a poem to Your Highness."


    The poetry meeting¡¯s main purpose was to praise the moon and enjoy each other¡¯spany, but everyone at the gathering would say that their poem was an offering to His Majesty or Her Highness before reciting it. This already became an unspoken rule, all to garner a bit of attention, hoping that it would raise the result of their assessment a bit.


    Empress Wang also didn¡¯t mind and smiled as she nodded her head. "Alright, what good poem do you have?"


    "Your Highness......"


    Just when Sun Qiao¡¯Er was going to recite the poem she had prepared, Luo Qing Luan suddenly asked, "Are poems recited each year during the Full Moon Feast? Moreover, is the subject matter fixed?"


    Even though she didn¡¯t know why the other wanted to ask this, Empress Wang¡¯s impression of Luo Qing Luan was quite good, so she didn¡¯t mind being interrupted by her. "Ever since the first Full Moon Feast until now, which has been held for thirty-two years, it¡¯s always been like this. The moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which represents harmony and joy. This is a big festive asion, so naturally we recite poetry to express these sentiments."


    Luo Qing Luan creased her eyebrows as she spoke. "Isn¡¯t this......very boring?"


    She deliberately said this, because she wanted to throw the poetry recital meeting off bnce, to flummox these people who made preparations in advance. These highborn girls previously mocked her so much, was it possible for her to just ept everyone¡¯s bullying without fighting back. Also that Miss Yuchi......heh heh, she really wanted to see of this Duchess of Yiyang¡¯s literary talents truly matched her beauty!


    "Miss Luo, what¡¯s your intention in saying that?" Within the crowd, Li Shuyun, who was already jealous of Luo Qing Luan sitting by the Empress¡¯ side, spoke up. Last time, she was put in order and left in a sorry state by Luo Qing Luan. Strangely itching from head to toe, she scratched so much that bloody scars forms all over her body. She¡¯d always been waiting to take revenge.


    Immediately taking advantage of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s disrespectful remark, she opened her mouth and coldly said, "This poetry meeting is our country¡¯s tradition from tens of years ago. His Majesty and Her Highness also approves enthusiastically, yet you actually said that it¡¯s boring? Is it possible that you look down on His Majesty and Her Highness?"


    "You¡¯re Miss Li, right?" Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly. "I haven¡¯t finished speaking, so what are you jumping out anxiously for?"


    She turned towards Empress Wang and bowed in respect before continuing unflinchingly, "Your Highness, even though I don¡¯t know how topose poetry, I¡¯d also like to hear everyone¡¯s masterpieces. Based on customs from previous years, everyone knew that would know that the subject matter of tonight¡¯s poems would be praising the moon and treasuring rtionships. It¡¯s quite possible that some people had already prepared in advance. The poems they¡¯ll be reciting may not necessarily be their ownpositions. That would be too boring."


    Li Shuyi¡¯splexion changed. "Luo Qing Luan, what do you mean by that? Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re saying that we deliberately found other people to write poetry, then pretend that weposed them ourselves?"


    Luo Qing Luan shot a nce at her. "Miss Li, I didn¡¯t even say that you¡¯re giarizing. What are you so anxious for? Since this is a poetry meeting, it should naturally reflect our genuine talent in order win His Majesty and Her Highness¡¯ reward and gain the title of Western Chu¡¯s ¡¯girl of talent¡¯. If the poem is something we had someone elsepose earlier, if that¡¯s not giarizing, then what is?"


    Absolute silence descended upon the scene. Everyone¡¯splexion changed.


    It went without saying that during all of the previous poetry meetings, preparations were made in advance. All they had to do was recite when the time came. Naturally, some of these highborndies didn¡¯t have this ability, but didn¡¯t want to lose face, so they had their family¡¯s teachers or maybe an acquaintancepose the poems in advance.


    This had already be a public secret which had never been openly talked about. Certainly, this group ofdies absolutely had never thought that during this crucial year when the crown prince consort was going to be chosen, there would surprisingly be someone who openly dered that they prepared someone¡¯s poem in advance. How could they ept something like this?


    Yuchi Lianqing could be the most talented girl in Western Chu. She naturally relied somewhat on her own abilities, so she actually wasn¡¯t afraid, but she was very disgusted with the way Luo Qing Luan went against epted customs. Were it not for Empress Wang¡¯s restraining presence, how could she still remain so polite?


    Then ording to Miss Luo¡¯s opinion, how should this year¡¯s poetry meeting be conducted? We shouldn¡¯t take away everything, right?" She responded unenthusiastically, her tone of voice already disying a trace of coldness.


    Indeed waiting for someone to say this, Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly and turned towards Empress Wang to say, "Of course not. Your Highness, every year, the poems have been recited randomly. I¡¯m afraid that Your Highness might be a bit tired of it. How about we change the way it¡¯s done this year? How about making it a bit more novel? Moreover, this approach can also distinguish who is truly talented. I wonder what Your Highness think?"

    Chapter 50a: Change This Year¡¯s Rules


    <h4></h4>


    This unexpected development made Empress Wang somewhat startled, but she also kind of wanted to know Luo Qing Luan¡¯s intention. She replied smilingly, "When you say novel, how in the world do we make it more novel?"


    Once she heard that there¡¯s a possibility, Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly while winking at Empress Wang. She looked a bit weird. "Your Highness, how about we issue a topic for the poem on the spot, then take turns, so that no one is excluded. Everyone will be involved, because it¡¯s Your Highness who determines the subject matter impromptu. In this way, the poem that¡¯s recited can then be a test of a person¡¯s talent inposing poetry. True gold doesn¡¯t fear fire. Only by choosing the best three in this way can the winner be truly deserving of Western Chu¡¯s title of ¡¯girl of talent¡¯."


    Drawing up the topics on the spot?


    Once this idea was presented, most of the girls who were eager toe forward turned pale.


    Even though they had been educated since young, and could asionallye up with a pretty good poem, tonight wasn¡¯t the same. This was a once a year asion which had to do with being able to shine in front of the empress and may even be the key to bing the crown prince¡¯s consort. How could they genuinely use the poems that theyposed themselves?


    At the very least, most of these youngdies had their parents find someone topose something for them ahead of time. Moreover, these poems passed throughyer uponyer of consideration. Even if they were not chosen among these countless numbers of people, at least they wouldn¡¯t lose face.


    Yet now, Luo Qing Laun unexpectedly came up with this idea, to have thempose a poem on the spot. How¡¯s that possible! While they focused on giving the empress a good impression, they had to also think of the verses. They were not some literary genius, how could theypose something in such a short time?


    Wasn¡¯t it the same as taking their life away?


    After barely thinking about it, Fang Minghu, who had been ring at Luo Qing Luan, blurted out, "That won¡¯t do! Luo Qing Luan, what are you up to. Why would we need to change the rules of this poetry meeting? Her Highness won¡¯t listen to you."


    She knew that the majority of peoplecked confidence, yet didn¡¯t expect that the first to jump out was actually Duke Song¡¯s granddaughter, Fang Mingzhu!


    Luo Qing Luan took a nce at her, not the least bit pleased. "Why does Miss Fang have to be so keyed up? You¡¯re Duke Song¡¯s granddaughter, so naturally, your literary skills are notable. I¡¯m merely proposing an idea for Empress Wang to make a fresh change for this year, that¡¯s all. I truly bear no malice."


    "Moreover......" The corners of her mouth curved up into a knowing smile. That smile which was not a smile made her seem calm and collected, distinguishing her from the countless numbers of young girls present.


    Luo Qing Luan bowed towards Empress Wang as she opened her mouth. "Ining up with the topics tonight, Your Highness will naturally know who the most talented girl in the capital is. Real ability and learning is important, but an honest and kind character is equally necessary."


    After pondering Luo Qing Luan¡¯s suggestion, the more Empress Wang listened, the more she felt it was reasonable. She subconsciously nodded her head.


    She did want to see which youngdy was creative and quick minded, with a good character and kind heart. Her main objective wasn¡¯t to listen to poetry during the feast, but to choose a consort for the crown prince. If the event was held ording to what¡¯s been done during previous years, then the great majority of poems for tonight had been prepared way ahead of time. As for whether they were originalpositions, it was even more difficult to tell. How could this still be considered a test?


    It¡¯s true that the future consort needed to be both intelligent and talented. However, moral conduct was even more important!


    A sh streaked through Empress Wang¡¯s eye as sheughed. "Not bad. This is indeed novel and interesting. Let¡¯s do it this way then. Tonight, I¡¯ll personallye up with the topics. For the top ten winners, I¡¯ll ask the emperor to reward double."


    Once her voice dropped, a minority of people were inwardly happy, but the majority of young girls turned pale, apprehension filled their hearts.


    If they truly had topose a poem impromptu, and they failed toe up with something, then what? Wouldn¡¯t that be too embarrassing? Some of the girls already started to secretly pray that the topic the empress came up with will match the poem that they already prepared!


    "Miss Sun......"


    Looking at Sun Qiao¡¯Er, who¡¯s still standing on stage, Empress Wang smiled and said, "Should you still be the first to start?"


    A very ordinary question, yet it immediately made Sun Qiao¡¯Er stammer, unable to formte words clearly. "Your, Your Highness, this......I, I had better......"


    In such a frenzy that she nearly wanted to run away, Sun Qiao¡¯Er lost her head out of fear as she looked at Empress Wang and cast a nce towards Luo Qing Luan. Damn her, it¡¯s all her fault. If she didn¡¯te up with the idea of changing tonight¡¯s rules, how could she be humiliated like this? Right now, she¡¯s neither able to move forward, nor retreat. This was simply the same as asking for her life!


    "I should still, still, should still be the first to go......"


    Sun Qiao¡¯Er¡¯s legs practically turned to mush. After she finished this sentence, she no longer even dare to look at Empress Wang. Her hand hidden inside her sleeve was clenched tightly as she trembled slightly from head to toe.


    "No need to be nervous, Miss Sun."


    For the first topic, Empress Wang actually didn¡¯t want to make it hard for the young girl before her. She also could tell that this daughter of the supervisor of Shanglin Institution, Sun Huidong, was not as confident as before. However, since she dared to be first, then let¡¯s just put forth a simple topic.


    With some thought, Empress Wang spoke gently. "Today is the Mid-Autumn holiday. Miss Sun should justpose something based on the two words ¡¯Mid-Autumn Festival¡¯."


    Mid-Autumn Festival?


    Once Sun Qiao¡¯Er heard this, her body rxed all over. Of the two poems she prepared ahead of time, one just happened to talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Her prior worries instantly disappeared, as her face finally recovered some color. She promptly nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."


    After speaking, she pretended to appear to be thinking as she recited several times inwardly. When she felt that the duration was about right, she finally recited the poem.


    "August the 15th night, wine cup faces the blue sky,


    Bright moon gazes upon all, all long to return home.


    In the quiet dim of night, autumn geese cry out.


    Round fan already left the hand, clear moon came as usual."

    Chapter 50b: Changed This Year¡¯s Rules


    <h4></h4>


    Just as she finished reciting, those girls familiar with her immediately pped their hands. In response, everyone also followed after and nodded inwardly, praising incessantly. Something like ¡¯what finely done antithesis¡¯, and even said Miss Sun¡¯s literary ideas gushes forth like a spring. The empress had given the topic for but a moment, yet she already created a poem. Moreover, it was in alignment with the topic, speaking of how the moon was full, and people longed to be reunited, and was really a rareposition.


    After all, this was the first poem. As long as it wasn¡¯t too terrible, Empress Wang would also not go as far as to say that it was bad.


    Right away, she smiled and praised Sun Qiao¡¯Er for doing a good job and even asked which teacher she ordinarily learned from. Sun Qiao¡¯Er was overwhelmed by the favor and replied to each question. Only after that did she sit down, her facepletely crimson. It was obvious that she was quite excited inside.


    No matter what, she¡¯d passed one of tonight¡¯s obstacles. Sun Qiao¡¯Er calmed down before lingering fear surfaced. If it wasn¡¯t for Empress Wang intentionally being lenient, and her luck being good, how could she not lose face tonight?


    The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. To avoid any problems cropping upter, Sun Qiao¡¯Er decided that no matter what, she won¡¯t try to attract anymore attention tonight.


    Empress Wang smilingly said a few things to Imperial Consort Song and the other consorts, then asked Yuchi Lianqing another question. Thetter paid her respects graciously as she answered wlessly. She praised Sun Qiao¡¯Er¡¯s literary talents without belittling herself in the least, as if she was a major schr providingmentary and actually even reflected some of her teacher¡¯s graceful bearing.


    At this point, Empress Wang expressed regret. "If would¡¯ve been even more lively if Teacher Ling could be present at tonight¡¯s feast."


    "Although Teacher is extremely knowledgeable and learned, he is health has always not been too great." Yuchi Liangqing immediately assumed an appearance of pride and cleverly continued, "Before I came, Teacher even said that she can¡¯t help but miss seeing Your Highness¡¯ graceful bearing, so she asked for Your Highness¡¯ forgiveness and hoped that you won¡¯t take offense. She can only wait at home to see how many masterpieces will be presented on the following day."


    "Schr Lin is being too courteous. I¡¯ll personally invite her toe into the pce on another day, so that we could have a good chat."


    After a few more interjections, the conversation immediately returned to the main topic. Based on Lin Qiao¡¯Er¡¯s seat order, the youngdy next in line, dressed in pink, stood up trembling in fear.


    Empress Wang perceived that she appeared delicate and pretty and actually had a bit of a good impression of her. She said, "You can use Morning Sun Pce as the setting and integrate that into today¡¯s Mid-Autumn Festival poem."


    "Ah......" She originally thought that the topic would still be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and that it would be as easy as Sun Qiao¡¯Er¡¯s. Once this youngdy heard the three words ¡¯Morning Sun Pce¡¯, she immediately panicked. Herplexion instantly flushed red and she hemmed and hawed for quite awhile without being able to say anything.


    Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t affected at all. In any case, she merely came here tonight to go through the motions. Every one of these people previously mocked her for not knowing how topose poetry. Too bad for them, it¡¯s now their turn to be tested on whether they truly have talent. It turned out that each and every one of them were idiots.


    After standing for a period of time, that youngdy in pink became more and more panicky. She was practically ready to burst into tears. Her mouth merely formed the words, "Pce......Morning Sun Pce......" After a long time, still not a single appropriate verse was recited.


    Empress Wang already understood something. As it turned out, Imperial Consort Song also understood. Apparently, the rules have truly changed. Each and every one of these ordinarily eloquent highborndies had be mute. It¡¯s just that tonight was supposed to be a joyous asion after all, so it¡¯s also not good to be too demanding to avoid ruining the mood. She spoke out. "She looks to be still young. Forget it if she can¡¯tpose something. Let¡¯s have her sit down?"


    "Fine. Go back and think about it well. You can withdraw." Empress Wang concurred emotionlessly.


    "Yes. Thank you for Your Highness¡¯ grace." The shame in that youngdy in pink¡¯s eyes already turned into tears threatening to overflow.


    Having lost face in front of everyone, once she returned to her seat, she couldn¡¯t help but sob. The other young girls who saw this also didn¡¯te and console her. They were preupied with their own turn to go up on stageter on. What should be done if they also could note up with anything?


    Within a short time, the atmosphere at the Full Moon Feast changedpletely. Some people actually became tense and terrified.


    If there¡¯d only been two people like this, Empress Wang still wouldn¡¯t mind. However, the following that, she also asked seven or eightdies, each one of whom were also born of prestigious families, and who had status, position, and renown within their families.


    The topic that she gave could also be considered simple and wasn¡¯t too demanding at all, but the poems theyposed surprisingly was not up to standard in the least. If they weren¡¯t standing there dumbstruck, then they were acting coy for half the day beforeing up with a verse. Not only did the meter and meaning fail to parallel in the couplets, some even failed to rhyme and werepletely random.


    Gradually, Empress Wang also started to be displeased. It was obvious that in previous years, each and every one of these highborn youngdies had giarized others¡¯ works. Every one of these aristocratic youngdies ordinarily known for their talents all turned out to be ipetent and unlearned idiots.


    "What now? I¡¯ve already asked so many people. Is it possible that I won¡¯t be able to hear a single good poem tonight?"


    Having heard Empress Wang¡¯s somewhat sullen voice, the room full of highborn youngdies panicked. Oh no! The empress is displeased. How could she not have a bad impression of them? Don¡¯t even mention bing the crown prince consort, if they¡¯re not careful, the empress might even be stirred into anger, with no end of trouble in sight.


    Luo Qing Luan was totally unaffected as she watched each and every one of these youngdies¡¯ terrified appearance. There were only three words in her mind: ¡¯serves them right¡¯!


    Who told them to mock her like that previously? This time, they¡¯d made a rod for their own back, right?


    Just at this time, a clear and elegant, sweet-sounding voice reverberated and Yuchi Lianqing was seen to be standing up. She turned to Empress Wang and bowed a deep bow, "Your Highness, how about having me give it a try. May you suggest a topic."

    Chapter 51a: Jubtion Turned to Sorrow


    <h4></h4>


    Seeing that it was Yuchi Lianqing, Empress Wang knew that she had always been famous, so herplexion took a turn for the better. "Duchess of Yiyang, what I want is a good poem with good lyrics. Otherwise, when it¡¯s brought to His Majestyter on, it will be shaming. If you haven¡¯t prepared well tonight, I won¡¯t me you. Are you determined to give it a try?"


    Considering the previous circumstances, Empress Wang already gave Yuchi Lianqing an escape route. After all, today is a celebratory day, a rare festive day. She also didn¡¯t want to turn fun into anger. If a good poem could not beposed, she might as well not hear it, to avoid dirtying her ear.


    Her dress arranged in spirals, fragrant breeze brushing all around, Yuchi Lianqing first faced Empress Wang and courtsied. Next, she leisurely walked to the center. Not the slightest bit of anxiety could be perceived on her face. Only a calm and confident slight smile on a face sprinkled with shining rays of moonlight contrasted with the surrounding brightnterns. Truly a beautiful woman, like a crane among a flock of chickens, with a difficult to describe graceful bearing.


    A pleasant voice that sounded like the song of an oriole reverberated, "The house of Marquis of Xuanping¡¯s Yuchi Lianqing invites Your Highness toe up with the topic."


    Her tone of voice was heroic and imposing. Although her voice wasn¡¯t loud at all, it was uniquely firm and confident, which actually made everyone focus all of their attention on her. Looking at her, Empress Wang¡¯s eyes shined. Even Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but put the teacup in her hand down. She wanted to know how startling of a masterpiece this Yuchi Lianqing would be able toe up with in the end.


    "Good. Good!¡¯


    Empress Wang was pleased. The smile on her face also widened a bit as she said, "Deserving of being the Duchess of Yiyang. You indeed have your forefathers¡¯ bearing. I¡¯ll give you a difficult test then to see how much you¡¯ve learned from Master Schr Lin."


    "At tonight¡¯s poetry meeting, the topic naturally won¡¯t stray far from the Mid-Autumn Festival. I¡¯ll have youpose a poem concerning our Western Chu¡¯s prosperity and strength in the context of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Can you do it?"


    A Mid-Autumn Festival poem which had to express the country¡¯s strength? Once all of the youngdies heard this, they were immediately rmed. If they were the ones asked to do this, then they wouldn¡¯t be able to do so even given a lifetime!


    Every single citizen of Western Chu knew that three years ago, Western Chu was still the weakest country between the four. They were weakest whether it be military strength or economy. However, when the Prince of Chu, Nn Ye led the troops to defend the country and utterly defeated Nanyue, which harassed them years on end, he established Western Chu¡¯s prestige and prosperity in one go to what it is today.


    The weakest Western Chu took over Nanyue and in one leap, became second only to Dongwan as the most powerful empire. The country was now prosperous and powerful, its people at peace, it¡¯s borders quiet, certainly something worth each and every citizen being proud of!


    It¡¯s just that......


    The Mid-Autumn Festival, to have a group of youngdies who did not understand national politics topose a poem praising Western Chu¡¯s might. This was more or less making things difficult for them.


    Countless pairs of eyes stared fixedly on Yuchi Lianqing on stage. A few of those who were good friends with her were even more worried for her. If Nangong Wan¡¯Er didn¡¯t get sprinkled with the itching powderst time, resulting in scars which she had yet to heal from, preventing her froming earlier, very likely, she would be the one with the fiercest outcry.


    At the scene, even a pin dropping could be heard. No one dared to give voice no matter how upset they might be. They all waited for Yuchi Lianqing to speak. Either she would lose face, or she would shine brightly, there was still no other possible oue tonight.


    Yuchi Lianqing was also clearly somewhat hesitant about this topic. Her graceful eyebrows creased faintly. She was evidently concentrating fully, pondering deeply. Her head hung down slightly as her red lips gently pursed up. Her pair of beautiful eyes wandered from time to time. After that, the corners of her mouth gradually rose, exposing a knowing smile. Clearly, she already came up wi


    th something.


    "The moon shines like frost upon the bright courtyard. Firefly shadows follow fragrant autumn breezes......"


    As expected, the first verses described the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere. Once everyone heard, admiration birthed in their hearts. How deserving of the title as the most talented girl in Western Chu, so nimble and creative. Not enough time had passed to even drink a cup of tea. Their minds were still nk, yet Yuchi Lianqing alreadyposed a poem.


    Her sweet-sounding voice seemed even more melodious in the still night. The sound of each word reverberated in a powerful, confident imposing manner as she continued to recite.


    "Night falls on five drum beats surrounded by stars. Clouds parts and the moon shines upon an eternal dynasty. Western Chu¡¯s heavenly dragon imperial city, a thousand doors of flowering willows. Feasting on jade tables blessed by immortals, four crowned countries paying respects to the court."


    With thest versepleted, quiet pervaded for a while afterwards. Empress Wang¡¯s face shone bright red, as she actually took the lead in standing up to apud. "Wonderful. Excellent. What a great verse: Feasting on jade tables blessed by immortals; four crowned countries paying respect to the court. The Duchess of Yiyang indeed deserves to be Master Schr Lin¡¯s disciple. Actually, the student surpasses the teacher. You were surprisingly able to create such a masterpiece."


    Imperial Consort Song was also a face full of pleasant surprise. She didn¡¯t expect that Yuchi Lianqing, a youngdy, was surprisingly able topose such an impressively majestic poem. This was indeed rare. She immediately praised, "Elder Sister, in my view, there¡¯s no need to look further. Tonight¡¯s first ce will certainly go to the Duchess of Yiyang. This masterpiece is so heroic, expressing our Western Chu¡¯s imposing might to the fullest. If His Majesty were to hear of this, his dragon heart will surely be extremely pleased."


    A wisp ofcency shing through her eyes, but not the slightest trace was shown on Yuchi Lianqing¡¯s face. Disying a face filled only with respect, she spoke gently. "Iposed hastily, and is not worthy of the Empress and Imperial Consort¡¯s over praise. I¡¯m still much inferiorpared to my teacher and will still need to continue studying hard."


    So modest. Her neither arrogant, nor impatient attitude made Empress Wang feel even more fond of her.


    She beckoned Yuchi Lianqing toe over and sit beside her. Her widely smiling face was in to see, while her eyes twinkled brilliantly as she asked, "Yiyang, you really made me very surprised. I perceived previously that you¡¯re wordless and silent, so I even thought that your temperament is yielding and softhearted. I couldn¡¯t tell that you¡¯re even so heroic, a woman who is as able as a man!"

    Chapter 51b: Jubtion Turned to Sorrow


    <h4></h4>


    Imperial Consort Song smiled and said, "Elder Sister is right. If the Duchess of Yiyang is a man, I¡¯m afraid she would not be so different from the crown prince. In that case, our Western Chu will gain another gifted schr."


    Empress Wangughed. Lightughter also burst forth in agreement all around. Countless praises for Yuchi Lianqing sounded. All of them stated that her fame had already spread far and wide earlier on. Her talent was not in name only and was a reality. Otherwise, how would she be capable of besting all of the other talents and distinguish herself?


    "The moment I saw Yiyang today, I felt delighted. I heard that the country of Dongyuan¡¯s princess, Xiao Ningyu, is famous for being the number one beauty among four countries, but I have not met her before. In terms of talent and learning, she surely can¡¯tpare to you. Even if we were to onlypare appearances......"


    Speaking to this point, Empress Wang deliberately earnestly sized up Yuchi Lianqing and appraised her bashful face, which couldn¡¯t help but be lowered.


    "Yiyang¡¯s appearance is also dignified and imposing, a rare beauty. Her temperament is even more outstanding, truly deserving of being Marquis Xuan Ping¡¯s granddaughter. I¡¯m thinking, since you¡¯re not married yet, Yiyang, and my crown prince also still hasn¡¯t married an imperial concubine, if you¡¯re willing, Yiyang, how about......"


    "Your Highness......"


    Yuchi Lianqing face turned red as she bashfully turned her head. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. "Marriage is decided by one¡¯s parents. Why is Your Highness asking Lianqing?"


    How could Imperial Consort Song not tell that she consented a thousand times and was willing ten thousand times in her heart. She was merely disying a youngdy¡¯s reservation, that¡¯s all. She smilingly said, "Elder Sister, hurry and stop speaking. The Duchess of Yiyang is a modest youngdy. How can she shamelessly talk about her own marriage? Since Elder Sister is interested, thenter on, send Yiyang together with her poem to His Majesty before having a separate discussion with him. At that time, just directly issue an imperial decree and it¡¯ll be fine, right?"


    Once the crowd of youngdies heard this, they realized that as it turned out, the empress indeed favored Yuchi Lianqing. She intended to choose her to be the crown prince¡¯s consort. Sourness birthed in each and every one of their hearts, totally envious and jealous. But no matter what, be it Yuchi Lianqing¡¯s status or talent, family background, or appearance, none of these were anything that they couldpare with. Losing to her, practically not a single one of them could feel unconvinced or unresigned.


    Luo Qing Luan totally let out a breath in relief!


    Thank the heavens she didn¡¯t put herself in the limelight tonight. This was indeed a wise decision. In her opinion, the poem that Yuchi Lianqingposed just now, even though it was barely eptable,pared to those masterpieces that she¡¯d memorized, it simply wasn¡¯t something special.


    If she deliberately wanted to stand out and threw caution to the wind shamelessly, she could giarize those masterpieces written by the great masters. Don¡¯t mention stunning Western Chu, very likely, it¡¯s not impossible to spread throughout the four countries.


    Last time, she became entangled with Nangong Qing, who appeared to be totally smitten with her. Luo Qing Luan felt extremely annoyed. So what if he was the crown prince? They merely met for the first time. They simply couldn¡¯t even considered to be acquaintances, much less talk about having feelings. Could it be just because of his identity, she would have to be fond of him and marry him?


    Moreover, once she thought of how Nanong Qing will be emperor, not to mention a harem of countless women, at least it¡¯s impossible for him to have only her. All kinds of consorts and imperial concubines, talented and beautiful women would want to share her man with her. She absolutely could not bear that!


    One pair for a lifetime. If this was impossible, she¡¯d rather not marry at all!


    Finally freed of worries, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t mind this oue in the slightest. On the contrary, Yuchi Lianqing looked somewhat even more pleasing to her eyes. If it wasn¡¯t for Yuchi Lianqing showing off talent tonight and attracting Empress Wang¡¯s attention, how could she have escaped?


    Leaving aside how Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mood was terrific, Empress Wang was also seldom so happy. She promptly ordered the pce maids to fetch brush, ink and paper, so that someone could write down this newlyposed poem. Thereafter, she prepared to send it to the emperor while discussing the matter of crown prince¡¯s consort at the same time.


    Imperial Consort Song stood up and walked to the center of the room while saying, "Elder Sister, I also like this poem praising our Western Chu. How about you allow me to be the one to write it down, what do you think?"


    "That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll trouble Younger Sister, then."


    Once she saw that Imperial Consort Song will be the recorder, Yuchi Lianqing was even more pleased.


    Imperial Consort Song was Third Prince and Fifth Prince¡¯s birth mother. Even though Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen did not win His Majesty¡¯s favor at all, Third Prince, Nangong Jie was someone His Majesty was greatly fond of. Next to the crown prince, the third prince was the one His Majesty most favored.


    With masterfull strokes, very quickly, Imperial Consort Song finished putting theposition on paper and named it ¡¯Moon Shines on Prosperity¡¯. She brought her writing to Empress Wang for her to appraise it. "Look, Elder Sister, how is this?"


    "Mm, not bad. Younger Sister¡¯s calligraphy has improved again. This writing is bold and flowing, clearly quite skillful. There¡¯s even a bit of His Majesty¡¯s charm!" Empress Wang praised and nodded continually.


    "Really? Elder Sister could also tell?" Imperial Consort Song couldn¡¯t conceal her pride and smiled widely. "I felt that His Majesty¡¯s writing looked good, so I deliberately modelled my calligraphy after His Majesty¡¯s style. So I really learned a little from His Majesty."


    As she continued to speak, she couldn¡¯t hold back her joy and simply couldn¡¯t stop herself fromughing out loud. Who knew, Imperial Consort Song merely startingughing when herplexion changed. She suddenly covered her throat while her face suddenly was filled with rm and horror.


    "Younger Sister, what¡¯s happening?" Empress Wang saw that something was wrong and was immediately startled.


    "I.....air......" In but an instant, Imperial Consort Song¡¯splexion had already turned bright red from choking, in such a panic that her eyeballs seemed to pop out. As she coughed, strange sounds emitted from her throat, but she was still unable to from words.


    The personal maids by her side seemed to understand something as she screamed in panic, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine seems to be suffocating. Please quickly save our Imperial Concubine!"

    Chapter 52a: Emergency Rescue


    <h4></h4>


    Suffocation? Why would she suffocate when she was just fine?


    Empress Wang didn¡¯t have the leisure of making guesses about this. She also immediately panicked. "Someonee. Hurry and go bring imperial physicians!"


    Such a properly celebratory night. She didn¡¯t expect that an ident would ur at the end. If something bad were to truly happen to the suffocating Imperial Consort Song, she also wouldn¡¯t be free from responsibility. How could Empress Wang still care about the poem in her hand. She directly threw it to the side and promptly stepped forward to examine the imperial consort.


    After exerting effort for a short amount of time, Imperial Consort Song¡¯s face already turnedpletely red. Her wide open eyes stared fixedly as she grabbed the sleeve of Empress Wang¡¯s robe. She seemingly wanted to cry for help, but was unable to form a single sentence. From her mouth, only ¡¯hu hu¡¯ sounds came out. Her painful efforts only made others confused.


    The scene immediately turned totally chaotic. Everyone stared at Empress Wang and Imperial Consort Song at the center. They stared nkly, helpless, and pale with fright.


    If something bad happened at the end of tonight¡¯s Mid-Autumn Feast, if Imperial Consort Song were to choke to death on ount of writing down a poem, she¡¯s afraid this might be the greatest joke on Western Chu. Even though this matter had nothing to do with them, they still witnessed everything personally after all. Very likely, His Majesty will be furious and they would also be implicated.


    The most regretful one was Yuchi Lianqing. She was as dumbstruck as a wooden chicken as she froze there, her brain like mush. Ordinarily, she had always been resourceful and quick-witted, and more intelligent than anyone. However, she currently didn¡¯t know what to do at all, as she stared stupidly. She even forgot to stand up and see how Imperial Consort Song was doing.


    As if a club struck her head, she fell from the clouds down into the abyss. Wasn¡¯t it just fine earlier? Empress Wang even said that she wanted to choose her to be the crown prince¡¯s consort. Imperial Consort Song even wanted to personally write the poem down for her to send to His Majesty. She was thoroughly delighted. In her fantasy, it wouldn¡¯t be long before her dream wille true, and she became the future empress. Yet now.....


    On ount of writing her poem down, Imperial Consort Song¡¯s momentary happiness caused her to choke.


    No matter what, she couldn¡¯t be free from responsibility in this matter!


    If Imperial Consort Song were to trulye to a bad end, not to mention how the two princes might look at her with animosity, even if His Majesty didn¡¯t demand that she took responsibility, she¡¯s afraid that it¡¯d be impossible for her to be the crown prince consort. She¡¯d loved the crown prince dearly for three years. She¡¯d always longed to be the crown prince consort, yet now, her joy had turned into sorrow. She¡¯s afraid it would already be extremely lucky if His Majesty could pardon her.


    Body covered in cold sweat from fear, Yuchi Lianqing copsed from head to toe. With a deathly paleplexion, she watched the chaotic mess.


    "Where¡¯s the imperial physician. Why are they still not here?" Empress Wang asked anxiously, noticing that the hand Imperial Consort Song used to grab onto her sleeve was weakening, while her eyes were bing spiritless and her body trembled all over, even as choking sounds continually came from her throat. The empress was afraid that the other already could no longer persevere for much longer.


    Something bad is going to happen......


    Something really bad!


    Even someone like Empress Wang was also panicking now. Besides cing all of her hope on the imperial physicians arriving quickly, there was nothing else she could do.


    "Your Highness, allow me to take a look at Imperial Consort Song." Just when she was most frantic and hopeless, a voice sounded. Without waiting for the empress to reply, a youngdy dressed in white broke through the crowd. She crouched down beside her.


    Turning her head to look, she discovered that it was Luo Qing Luan. At this time, how could Empress Wang take so much into consideration. She promptly asked, "Qing Luan, do you have a solution?"


    "I¡¯ve studied some emergency medicine in the past. This situation is urgent and can¡¯t wait for the imperial physicians. Will you let me try?" Within the crowd of flustered and helpless pce maids and eunuchs, the calm and collected Luo Qing Luan seemed especially extraordinary, like a single star in the night sky.


    Apparently, her calm also infected Empress Wang. She finallyposed herself and immediately replied, "Good, Qing Luan, try your best. I promise you, I won¡¯t me you even if you can¡¯t do anything. Just try your best and do what you can."


    This was the same as giving medicine to a dead horse (trying everything in a desperate situation). Empress Wang also had no other option.


    Who could have imagined that this mishap would happen? This was merely a feast to admire the full moon, which had been conducted for many years. There had never been a problem before, yet this kind of emergency had to happen this year. Imperial Consort Song was not suffering from illness. She was choking. If she suffocated and stopped breathing, how could she still wait for the imperial physicians toe?


    Therefore, even if it was Luo Qing Luan, a girl who didn¡¯t seem to be sixteen years of age, yet, as long as she was willing to give it a try, Empress Wang would embraced this only hope. It was still better than doing nothing!


    With Empress Wang¡¯s guarantee, Luo Qing Luan was even more reassured.


    Ever since that pce maid said that Imperial Consort Song was choking, she knew that the circumstances might seem urgent, however, as long as one knew what to do, it wouldn¡¯t be very serious. But they had to make every moment count!


    Quickly holding onto Imperial Consort Song¡¯s wrist, Luo Qing Luan merely took her pulse for a short time and already knew what to do. After taking a look at Imperial Consort Song¡¯s eyes and feeling her throat, Luo Qing Luan immediately said, "Someonee. Help me turn the consort¡¯s body over."


    As she was speaking, she went and pulled Imperial Consort Song¡¯s hand. Once a pce maid to her side heard this, she understood Luo Qing Luan¡¯s intention for the most part and quickly came to help.


    At this time, they could no longer be too gentle. Time was of the essence. Luo Qing Luan had two pce maids help lean Imperial Consort Song over while resting on her knees to keep her head down, while Luo Qing Luan ced her left hand supporting the consort¡¯s stomach. After that, she used force to p.


    The position and the strength, neither was dispensable. Luo Qing Luan gave her one p after another, of uniform speed and rhythmic, while she spoke, "Imperial Concubine, you can hear me, right? If you can cough, please exert all of your strength to cough. Once you do, you¡¯ll be better."


    The others looked on without understanding what¡¯s going to happen and could only wait anxiously.

    Chapter 52b: Emergency Rescue


    <h4></h4>


    The result was that within a few seconds, Imperial Consort coughed out loud. Once she saw this, Luo Qing Luan continued to apply force and finally, suddenly exerted all of her strength. Finally with a ¡¯wa¡¯ sound, Imperial Consort Song regurgitated something after which she coughed violently. This coughing sound was much clearer than previously.


    "That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good!"


    Since she could cough it up, she should be fine now. Luo Qing Luan promptly had people help her up, then lightly patted her back. "Hurry and bring some warm water. Have the imperial consort drink it.


    Imperial Consort Song continued her violent fit of coughing, but it was clear that she was no longer suffocating. Seeing this, Empress Wang¡¯s heart finally returned from her stomach. When a pce maid brought the water, she immediately passed it over. "Come, Younger Sister, drink some water."


    "Drink slowly. Don¡¯t rush." Luo Qing Luan advised.


    Once Imperial Consort Song drank the water and was supported back to her seat, she rested for quite some time, before she regained her wits. She grabbed Empress Wang¡¯s hand and wept.


    Just now, when something choked her, that feeling of not being able to breathe, if it had continued for a bit longer, she would¡¯ve totally suffocated to death. This kind of harrowing feeling, of the close encounter with the god of death, truly made Imperial Consort Song still felt an indeterminate fright.


    Empress Wang also had lingering fears as she incessantly patted Imperial Consort Song¡¯s hand. After a period of time, the two people finally gradually calmed down.


    "Qing Luan, if it wasn¡¯t for you......" Imperial Consort Song grabbed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand, so grateful she didn¡¯t know what to say. "I truly nearly died. Thank you......"


    "What is Your Highness saying. This kind of thing...anyone who encounters will naturally lend a hand. I merely happened to know a bit of emergency medicine and saw that you¡¯re choking on dense phlegm. That¡¯s why I acted boldly and gave it a try."


    This kind of life saving method, as far as Luo Qing Luan was concerned, was truly not worth mentioning. This couldn¡¯t even be considered medical expertise and was merely a first aid treatment, that¡¯s all. Even an ordinary person with a little bit of understanding could perform it.


    After all, tonight was a celebration. She also didn¡¯t really want something bad to happen. Saving others was saving oneself. She did not have the slightest intention of iming credit.


    "Qing Luan, you¡¯re too modest. If you¡¯re not here, and we really have to wait for the imperial physician to arrive, I¡¯m afraid it would¡¯ve been toote." Empress Wang let out a long breath. Seeing that everything had returned to normal, she also calmed down. "I truly did not anticipate that Qing Luan, not only are you good at ying the zither, you¡¯re also know the art of healing. This is truly rare."


    "You speak too highly of me. I really dare not ept."


    Seeing that Imperial Consort Song was still panting with a red face, Luo Qing Luan said, "Imperial Consort, do you have a cough that has never gone away? That¡¯s why you identally choked just now."


    Imperial Consort Song knew her own body the best. She had been coughing for a while, and there had always been something blocking her throat. Just now, she was so happy that she was careless and arge piece of dense phlegm blocked her throat, that¡¯s how......


    "Does Qing Luan know a cure?" Having had her life saved by the other, Imperial Consort Song trusted Luo Qing Luan a bit more. She asked, "This cough of mine has gone on for a while and has never gotten better. If it wasn¡¯t for you......sigh, is there a way to cure itpletely? Those imperial physicians had given me quite a few medicines, yet I haven¡¯t gotten better."


    "This......" It didn¡¯t seem to be too suitable to examine a patient in public. Luo Qing Luan could only say that the imperial physicians¡¯ medical skills are great, so there should be no problem with their prescriptions. Let¡¯s wait until you return to rest for a bit. I¡¯lle back tomorrow to properly examine you. With Luo Qing Luan¡¯s consent, Imperial Consort Song also feel relieved. After the recent disturbance, her body felt weak all over. With a word from Empress Wang, she was supported by the pce maids to return to her room.


    Only at this time did they run into imperial physicians rushing towards them. Unfortunately, they were alreadyte, so Empress Wang had them withdraw. Empress Wang also no longer had any interest in tonight¡¯s full moon feast, so she gave amand to end the banquet and have everyone disperse.


    Luo Qing Luan was just about to leave, but Empress Wang prevented her from leaving. "Qing Luan, don¡¯t return tonight. How about staying at the pce and keep mepany?"


    Huh? Not returning home? Staying at the pce?


    Once the highborn youngdies who were leaving in session heard this, each and every one of them revealed expressions of envy. When had the empress ever urged anyone to stay at the pce? Furthermore, from the looks of it, very likely, the two of them would even chat for the whole night. Such a rare honor was something that was simply unimaginable for the average person.


    Once again obtaining Empress Wang¡¯s attention was something that Luo Qing Luan did not foresee. However, Empress Wang suddenly made the suggestion. As a subject, the fact was that she had no way of refusing in public and could only tactfully answer, "Your Highness¡¯ kind intentions, Qing Luan of course shouldn¡¯t decline. However, my father might be worried......"


    Empress Wang immediately countered, "Not a problem. I will send someone to the general¡¯s mansion to give them notice and it¡¯ll be fine. General Luo won¡¯t me you."


    me? More like Luo Cheng wouldn¡¯t be able to stop himself from jumping for joy. He¡¯d probably give an arm for her to remain in the pce forever, no less.


    Having spoken to this point, Luo Qing Luan could no longer refuse and could only agree with thanks. Under everyone¡¯s immeasurable envy and hate, Luo Qing Luan left with Empress Wang, leaving behind a crowd of girls whose fantasies were shattered.


    Within Phoenix Presence Pce


    A few attending pce maids quietly stood at the side. They were also quite amazed by that youngdy dressed in white not far away. They had never seen the empress be so interested in any other nobledy. Not mentioning meeting her at the Full Moon Feast, at present, she even invited her toe rest at Phoenix Presence Pce for a chat, keeping her for the night.


    Wasn¡¯t this simply the same as a receiving special distinction!


    But as far as Luo Qing Luan was concerned, she did not feel anything at all. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she could be considered to be fond of this Empress Wang, and perceived that her personality was warm, and was genuinely a ¡¯mother¡¯ to her country, a woman who could see the big picture, she also wouldn¡¯t have been willing to chat with her.


    After chatting for a while, Empress Wang found Luo Qing Luan more and more pleasing to the eyes and grew more and more fond of her.


    Previously, she even wanted Yuchi Lianqing to be the crown prince¡¯s consort. At present, she truly felt that it was very fortunate that she had not already discussed the matter with His Majesty. Tonight, she wanted to properly have a conversation with Luo Qing Luan, to properly understand this crown prince consort who she had selected very carefully. If everything clicked in ce, then this matter would be decided.

 Chapter 53 part1

    Chapter 53a: What¡¯s on Empress Wang¡¯s Mind


    <h4></h4>


    Within the magnificent and spacious drawing room in the pce, candles shined brightly, as if it was daytime. A trace of ambergris wafted through the air. A faint sandalwood fragrance made a person¡¯s heart carefree and rxed, tranquil and peaceful.


    Sending away the pce maids, Empress Wang and Luo Qing Luan gradually started to talk about what happened with Imperial Consort Song just now.


    It was truly too chaotic previously, so Empress Wang had not pondered things carefully. Now that things had calmed down and she recalled what had happened, she felt that it was really unusual and couldn¡¯t help but ask, "Qing Luan, aren¡¯t you a sheltered mistress in the general¡¯s mansion? How......you really know the art of medicine?"


    When she heard these doubts from Empress Wang, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mind spun as she thought. She felt that she should give a good reason.


    Her medical expertise was her greatest strength. There¡¯s no way she wouldn¡¯t use it in the future. However, once she used it more often, people would inevitably spread the word, to the extent that they¡¯d marvel as much as Empress Wang. Why not use this opportunity to rify the matter, so that there would be an exnation in the future.


    As if she was recalling the past, Luo Qing Luan sighed before answering, "Replying to Your Highness, you may not know. It isn¡¯t an ident that I learned medicine. Because my mother passed away from difficulties giving birth, after I started to understand things, I swore that I had to learn medicine well. That way, I could prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again in the future."


    "So it¡¯s like that."


    She originally already knew of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s past. Empress Wang didn¡¯t doubt her in the slightest. Instead, she was touched by her dedication. Ever since the Flower Bestowment Feastst time, Luo Qing Luan had entered her sights. Empress Wang had once also asked a little about Qing Luan¡¯s circumstances. Even though she didn¡¯t understand much, she knew more or less some matters.


    Not mentioning other things, a noble daughter from the general¡¯s mansion, born with a silver spoon, yet was diligent and wanted to teach herself genuine medical knowledge was not an easy thing to do at all. It was obvious what kind of circumstances Luo Qing Luan had to experience to be able to have such an achievement.


    She loved more and more such an intelligent, yet gentle girl. Empress Wang consoled Luo Qing Luan again before she said, "From what I can see, Qing Luan, when you saved Imperial Consort Song today, this kind of ability is not something an ordinary person can have. My health has recently also been a little off. How about.....you also give me an examination?"


    Testing her? Or jokingly probing her?


    "Your Highness is joking again, please don¡¯t tease me."


    Luo Qing Luan was somewhat unable to make sense of Empress Wang¡¯s intention. This person¡¯s identity was no small matter. She certainly could not move forward randomly. Even though she had absolute confidence in her medical expertise, she still hesitated. If she really discovered some health issues with Empress Wang, or if she spoke of misfortune, then should she provide treatment or not, after all?


    If she didn¡¯t provide treatment, then that would really be inexcusable, especially when she¡¯s the disciple of the ghost doctor. But if she provided treatment, then what if Empress Wang grew even more fond of her and immediately made her the crown prince consort. That would certainly be trying to be clever and ending up with egg on her face.


    "Your Highness has always been cared for by the imperial physicians. I¡¯m an outsider. How can I dare to take matters into my own hands? Moreover, I can see that Your Highness¡¯plexion is not bad. All three energies seem vigorous. It can be assumed that you¡¯re fine." She could only say that. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s inwardly told herself it¡¯s not that she would not, but she could not. No way around it. Who could be med for this being a special period of time?


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan decline tactfully, Empress Wang also felt that it wasn¡¯t good to force her. She knew the condition of her own body. There was indeed no big problem. However, for many years now, she¡¯d suffered in her heart. It¡¯s just that......sigh, forget it. It¡¯s also unpleasant to discuss this matter with a young girl like that, never mind.


    Just like that, a night passed within Phoenix Presence Pce. A brand new day like a silk brocade quilt started, cool, refreshing, and soft. It was cool and refreshing inside the pce, no sense at all of it being hot or stuffy. Even though she was in the pce, Luo Qing Luan slept well the entire night.


    On the next next between 5-7 in the morning, she woke up and freshened up before apanying Empress Wang again for breakfast.


    With this being the imperial pce, moreover it¡¯s the empress, so even though this was breakfast, it was still sumptuous and meticulously nned. The food was refined yet nutritious. The quantity of each dish wasn¡¯t much. However, meat and vegetables were paired up. Not only were the colors fresh and appealing, they were tasty in the mouth.


    There were fragrant and sweet jujube glutinous rice, lily congee paired with several side dishes, shredded tender bamboo shoot ws; red, white, and green pickled julienned vegetables, and also a dish of lotus root tips mixed in fragrant sesame oil sprinkled with sesame seeds. It was crunchy, yet delicate and fragrant.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s breakfast was normally not so fine. She also didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and ate two bowls of congee as well as half a steamer basket of small steamed pearl dumplings, and a bowl of five grained soy milk, before she was satisfied and put down her chopsticks.


    When the pce maids offered tea to rinse her mouth, then changed that for a small cup of green tea for drinking after meals, Luo Qing Luan found that she had already stayed at the pce for practically another half day.


    Just as she was considering whether to go see Imperial Consort Song, after all, she had already agreed to do so yesterday, and was going to tell Empress Wang, when unexpectedly, she hadn¡¯t opened her mouth before Empress Wang proposed that they have a stroll around the imperial garden. Unable to do anything about it, Luo Qing Luan could only apany her.


    In early autumn, the imperial garden was as verdant as before, rare and precious blooms were everywhere. As Empress Wang walked, she chatted with Luo Qing Luan. The things she talked about weren¡¯t particrly important, but she just wouldn¡¯t let her leave. Luo Qing Luan felt more and more baffled.


    Logically speaking, Empress Wang also shouldn¡¯t be so idle, so why did she insist on holding on to her without letting go?


    "Qing Luan, you know, I really like you a lot. It would be great if you cane frequently to the pce to see me." Empress Wang¡¯s face was filled with affection as she looked at her and continued with a smile, "Maybe you don¡¯t believe it, but when I see you, I¡¯m reminded of my daughter. I truly feel close to you."


    Empress Wang¡¯s daughter? Luo Qing Luan still wasn¡¯t very clear regarding matters of the inner pce and couldn¡¯t help but ask, "Is Your Highness talking about Third Princess? Hee hee, if Your Highness misses the princess, it¡¯s also good to summon her toe and apany you."


    It¡¯s just a pity that she simply did not have that good an impression of this princess at all. This Wan¡¯Er¡¯s temperament and character, with one look, a person could tell that she¡¯d been spoiled. The arrogance and willfulness, as well as narrow mindedness, simply differed too much with her good natured imperial mother.

    Chapter 53b: What¡¯s on Empress Wang¡¯s Mind


    <h4></h4>


    "Are you talking about Wan¡¯Er?"


    Empress Wang looked a slightly nked out then smiled and continued. "No. Qing Luan, you guessed incorrectly. I¡¯m not talking about Wan¡¯Er, but rather, my own birth daughter, Princess Mingyi. Sigh......it¡¯s too bad that I don¡¯t have this good fortune. She already passed away."


    Hearing the grief and longing in her voice, Luo Qing Luan quickly responded, "I¡¯m sorry, Your Highness, it¡¯s a temporary slip of the tongue. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."


    Only now did she grasp the situation. As it turned out, Empress Wang longed for her daughter, that¡¯s why she attached her feelings to her? However, could it be that besides this princess, Empress Wang had not other children? Otherwise, why would she be so alone and lonely, and wanted herpany no matter what?


    "There¡¯s no harm. I don¡¯t me you. It¡¯s also because I like you that I treat you like my own daughter who passed away. Otherwise, I also wouldn¡¯t go as far as......" Empress Wang shook her head while the tone of her voice became slightly emotional.


    "Since the princess has already passed away, then Your Highness can birth a few more little princesses and princes, right?" Luo Qing Luan spoke, but the words barely left her mouth before she noticed the gloominess that shed in the back of Empress Wang¡¯s eyes. She suddenly felt that something¡¯s wrong and was afraid that she misspoke again.


    Sure enough, Empress Wang was silent for a long while before she smiled with difficulty. "Forget it. There are some things that can not be insisted upon. I¡¯ve alreadye to ept it, it¡¯s nothing."


    Once she heard these words, Luo Qing Luan was certain that very likely, Empress Wang could no longer give birth!


    As an empress, yet having no way of producing her own flesh and blood, as far as a woman was concerned, this was indeed the most cruel, especially for a woman belonging to the inner pce. Even if she was an empress, if she did not have a child, once the emperor died, the oue awaiting her was ten times more miserable than an ordinary woman. If she wasn¡¯t sent to the imperial shrine to pray and hold a vigil for the rest of her life, then she might be buried along with the emperor at the imperial tomb, better off dead than alive. No matter which oue, it was not what she wished for. Don¡¯t be deceived by her current impressive standing as an empress. Very likely, she was inwardly concerned all the same about her future fate. Otherwise, how could she be so worried?


    In the end, it was her identity as a physician that made Luo Qing Luan somewhat softhearted. Empress Wang was also pretty good to her, and she didn¡¯t want to see Empress Wang depressed while pretending to look happy. No longer able to hold back, she took Empress Wang¡¯s hand and consoled her with some words while seizing the opportunity to feel her pulse. She now understood what¡¯s going on with Empress Wang¡¯s body.


    "Your Highness, actually......" She was able to figure out the condition of Empress Wang¡¯s health very quickly. Having learned what¡¯s going on, Luo Qing Luan continued, "If you would like to have another princess, or maybe prince, that¡¯s not impossible."


    "Qing Luan, what did you say?" Empress Wang was shocked, and quite astonished.


    Having already made the decision to help her, as long as Empress Wang was willing to go along, Luo Qing Luan nodded her head and replied resolutely, "I said, Your Highness, I know what you would like. If I tell you that I have a way of making your wishe true, I wonder if Your Highness is willing?"


    Having heard these words as clear as day, Empress Wang couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed at this unexpected good news and quickly replied, "Of course I¡¯m willing, but my health......" The words slipped out from her heart under a state of insane happiness, but then she started to hesitate.


    It¡¯s not that she was unwilling. Rather, the person before her was merely a young girl. Not to mention giving birth, she wasn¡¯t even married. Even if she¡¯d studied some medicine, how could she be capable of treating her illness? Even the imperial physicians had already examined her and were helpless to do anything. They could only use technical jargon to go through the motions. How could it be possible for Luo Qing Luan to have a solution?


    "Forget it, Qing Luan, I know that you¡¯re full of good intentions, but this matter of having a child is certainly not something that one can achieve just by wanting it." Convinced of this, Empress Wang¡¯s enthusiasm faded as she said indifferently, "Don¡¯t tell others what we spoke about today. I¡¯m a bit tired now, you should return."


    Seeing that Empress Wang wanted to leave, Luo Qing Luan refused to ept it. If she didn¡¯t want to treat someone, she wouldn¡¯t budge even if offered ten thousand pieces of gold. Yet once she wanted to provide treatment for someone, even if the disease was beyond cure, she would still forcibly pull that person back from the gates of hell!


    "Your Highness has misunderstood. The person examining your health won¡¯t be me. Rather, it¡¯s my teacher." Knowing that Empress Wang didn¡¯t believe her because of her age, Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t feel like wasting time arguing needlessly. She directly fabricated an even more brilliant master and all issues would be settled.


    "Huh, your teacher?" Once Empress Wang heard this, she was indeed moved, as her beautiful eyes shined. "Qing Luan, you have a teacher? Is he the one who taught you your medical skills?"


    Things having reached this stage, even if there wasn¡¯t one, she¡¯d still make one appear. Furthermore, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s way of thinking wasn¡¯t as simple as merely helping Empress Wang have a child. Previously, she didn¡¯t know why Empress Wang was so obsessed with helping find a crown prince consort. After hearing the reason just now, she was finally able to guess some things.


    Nangong Qing was the crown prince, but he was in fact the son of the deceased ex-empress, while the current empress was actually childless. It was obvious that Nangong Qing was merely raised under her name. That¡¯s only to be expected. But if Empress Wang was able to have her own child, especially when there was hope under this special situation, then she certainly wouldn¡¯t be so obsessed with choosing a crown prince consort.


    Exactly! Everyone had some selfishness. If Empress Wang was able to have her own child, why would she still fixate all day long on Luo Qing Luan, making her the crown prince consort?


    It would be more like she couldn¡¯t shower enough attention on the child in her belly.


    Moreover, even if Empress Wang maintained her original position and still was fond of Luo Qing Luan, Empress Wang would now owe her a favor. It¡¯d be easier for her to find grounds for refusing, likely without making Empress Wang displeased with her. No matter what, Luo Qing Luan already set her mind on it, she must make Empress Wang¡¯s wishe true.

    Chapter 54a: Slowly Taking Shape


    <h4></h4>


    Luo Qing Luan focused her attention on creating a fake teacher. This person......naturally would be her in disguise. The location......of course it¡¯s best at the general¡¯s mansion. But, how should she present this. She should consider what to say a bit more. After all, the other person was Empress Wang, who identity was precious.


    "Your Highness, there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know. Even though I¡¯ve studied medicine on my own for several years, in order to properly understand the material, I still needed to depend on Teacher¡¯s guidance." Seeing Empress Wang nodding agreeing that this is expected, she continued again, but with a slightly embarrassed expression. "My teacher¡¯s medical expertise is brilliant and limitless. Even if I studied for an entire lifetime, I¡¯m afraid I still won¡¯t be able to learn everything, but Teacher, she......"


    "What is it? Does your teacher have some difficulty?" Empress Wang immediately asked.


    She originally already gave up, her heart dead. Even the imperial physicians in the pce were unable to do anything about it, yet now, she suddenly heard Luo Qing Luan speak of such a brilliant teacher. A trace of hope birthed again at the bottom of her heart.


    Having a child was the most cherished desire of every woman within the inner pce. Empress Wang was no exception. Even though she was the empress, the mother of the entire world, each day that she didn¡¯t have her own body was another day that she couldn¡¯t escape from feeling somewhat uncontented.


    Although the crown prince was filial and thoughtful, and was extremely respectful towards her, he was, after all, the ex-empress, her cousin¡¯s son. He was close enough to her, but in the end, he still couldn¡¯tpare to her own son.


    Watching Luo Qing Luan, Empress Wang was a bit nervous. Even though this hope very likely might make her disappointed again, as long as there was a slight possibility, she wanted to give it a try.


    "It¡¯s just that my teacher, her personality is a little strange, I¡¯m afraid......" Luo Qing Luan deliberately hummed and hawed, appearing as if she was embarrassed. "Even if I tell Teacher, and she is willing to diagnose and treat Your Highness, to have herply with those secr etiquettes, and personally enter the pce, I¡¯m afraid......"


    Turned out it¡¯s such a small matter. Empress Wang¡¯s misgivings immediately vanished into thin air. "No problem. If your teacher truly can......"


    She had not finished speaking when a shy voice arrived from a not so distant ce. "Greetings Your Highness the Empress."


    The two of them turned their heads to look. Turned out it was a pce maid.


    "Good afternoon, Your Highness. Our imperial concubine felt a bit unwell again this morning. Thinking that Miss Luo may not have left, she had this servante here to check......" That pce maid very cautiously took a nce at Luo Qing Luan, then immediately lowered her head not daring to talk.


    "Oh. I actually almost forgot. Qing Luan, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re here. It¡¯s unknown whether that condition of Imperial Consort Song from yesterday has gotten better or not. How about you quickly go and see her?" Empress Wang asked.


    Previously originally decided to go see her, Luo Qing Luan nodded her head. "Yes, Your Highness."


    Within Modest Model Pce......


    The flowering crab apples outside the pce hall were as dark green as jade. Under the autumn sunshine, they were fresh, green and alluring. Several pce maids were sweeping the front of the main hall meticulously and carefully, not daring to make any sound, afraid they would disturb the resting Imperial Consort Song.


    Inside the pce hall, Imperial Consort Song was sitting on a recliner, her back resting on a mottled bamboo pillow, eyebrows furrowing slightly. Her tender and beautiful red lips also lost their previous color.


    Last night was supposed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, yet she didn¡¯t expect to nearly lose her life. Once she thought of this, panic rose from the bottom of her heart.


    "Imperial Mother don¡¯t need to hesitate. I think it¡¯s still better to have the imperial physiciane take a look at you." Fifth Prince Nangong Chen sat by her side, somewhat worried.


    Luckily, the heavens protected her with fortune to escape the cmity. Once he thought of how he almost parted eternally with his mother, he wished that he could kill the imperial physician who had been treating his mother. Not even able to take care of a little illness like the cough, he simply deserved to die!


    He also knew what happenedst night, but he certainly never imagined that it would be Luo Qing Luan who saved his mother.


    Both her displeased and joyous expressions appeared in his mind. Such an exceptional young flower, pure and refined,pared to the Luo Qing Shuang who he¡¯d recently brought into his residence......even though the two are sisters, Luo Qing Shuangpared to Luo Qing Luan was truly inferior by not just a little.


    One was barely enough to be considered charming and moving, but pitted against Luo Qing Luan¡¯s appearance like an immortal dressed in white, Nangong Chen suddenly lost all interest.


    Full of regret yet again, why didn¡¯t he discover Luo Qing Luan¡¯s true appearance earlier? Not only was she beautiful, she was also good at ying the zither. The main point was that she even saved Imperial Mother. If he had another chance to choose, he wouldn¡¯t dissolve his engagement with Luo Qing Luan even if he was beaten to death.


    "Child Chen, even though you were engaged to the second Miss Luo in the past, I really have not heard that she was versed in medicine." Touching upon the matter of his mother¡¯s health, Nangong Chen hesitated a little, but still replied, "Maybest night was a coincidence. I certainly will thank her, but Mother¡¯s body is precious and noble, it¡¯s still better......"


    "Since Fifth Prince is concerned about my capability, then let¡¯s forget it."


    Suddenly, a sweet sounding and indifferent voice arrived at the door to the pce hall. Nangong Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he promptly turned his head. He did not have the chance to speak before Imperial Concubine Song beside him already sat up and quickly responded. "No no no, Qing Luan, don¡¯t you listen to his nonsense. Xuancao, hurry and invite Miss Luo inside."


    Her dress swayed slightly, simr to a white lotus bloom, graceful and fragrant. She had not arrived, yet a scent like orchid and musk flower quietly came pouring in. Her lips were like peach blossoms in march, pink, soft, and full. She wore an indifferent expression on her face. Couldn¡¯t tell whether she was angry, or smiling.


    With but a turn of his head, Nangong Chen already nked out due to what he saw.


    It had been merely a half month since seeing her, yet she unexpectedly had already grown so enchanting, just like an immortal banished from heaven?


    Only taking a quick nce at Nangong Chen, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t expect to see him here.

    Chapter 54b: Slowly Taking Shape


    <h4></h4>


    However, after thinking about it again, Imperial Consort Song was Nangong Chen¡¯s mother. Last night¡¯s matter exploded into such a big deal, it¡¯s normal for the son toe and see his mother.


    "Greetings to Your Highness Imperial Consort. I¡¯veete and hope that Your Highness don¡¯t me me."


    Imperial Consort Song had been hoping that Luo Qing Luan woulde, how could she be angry? She replied at once, "Xuancao, grant her a seat."


    "Miss Luo, please." The personal maid, Xuancao, immediately fetched a brocaded low stool. After helping Luo Qing Luan to sit down, she brought a pot of newly steeped biluochun tea before standing by the side to wait upon them, keeping silent.


    Finally recovering his wits, Nangong Chen smiled in embarrassment and spoke to Luo Qing Luan. "Mother has been waiting for Sister Qing Luan toe. Just now, I was merely speaking without thinking. Please don¡¯t take offense."


    Imperial Consort Song pretended to re at Nangong Chen with displeasure. "My child Chen, look at you, if you think about it, Qing Luan is your sister-inw and is a rtive. Qing Luan is naturally more conscientious when examining me than those imperial physicians. Moreover, if it wasn¡¯t for Qing Luanst night, I, your imperial mother, would have already lost my life. You actually don¡¯t believe in her, this is truly......"


    "Sigh, forget it. Qing Luan, don¡¯t you mind him. Come and give me a proper examination." Extending her hand quite voluntarily, Imperial Consort Song spoke smilingly.


    Reaching towards Imperial Consort Song¡¯s wrist, Luo Qing Luan carefully felt her pulse for a moment. Last night, she already discovered Imperial Consort Song¡¯s health condition, who indeed suffered from excessive internal heat, that¡¯s all. Originally, there had always been imperial physicians inside the pce who performed routine health checkups for all of the consorts and cared for their health at all times. However, it¡¯s very likely that Imperial Consort Song was a bit careless and didn¡¯t ce any importance on their advice, especially in regards to exerting self-control over her diet. Therefore, a little cough continued to produce phlegm which had never gone away.


    After a moment, Luo Qing Luan stopped and said emotionlessly, "Your Highness, your illness truly is not severe. Even though your cough has lingered for some time, as long as you nursed your health with care, you¡¯ll get well very quickly."


    Seeing that her words were exactly the same as those which the imperial physicians routinely spoke, Imperial Consort Song was somewhat unconvinced as she said, "But I have already coughed for many days, and have taken no small amount of medicine. Why have I still never gotten better?"


    Nangong Chen also but in and said, "Sister Qing Luan, we can be considered a family. If you truly know medicine, then you need to properly diagnose my mother."


    It¡¯s at least better if he didn¡¯t speak. Once he spoke, his pair of eyes also fixedly stared at her, making Luo Qing Luan feel ufortable all over. If imperial Consort Song wasn¡¯t also present at the scene, she truly would not be able to hold back from pping him, so that his pair of eyes could stop wandering improperly.


    Restraining her fiery temper, Luo Qing Luan smiled yet did not smile as she looked at Imperial Consort Song. "Has Your Highness truly nursed your health carefully the way the imperial physicians has prescribed?"


    As she spoke, she looked at the tes of fresh fruits on the table by their side. "Your Highness, did the imperial physicians say that you need to pay attention to the foods you ordinarily eat. Even longan, or mangoes, you need to refrain from eating these kinds of fruits as much as possible."


    "This......" Imperial Consort Song immediately became embarrassed as her voice also softened a few notches. "Qing Luan, I didn¡¯t do this on purpose. The fact is that it doesn¡¯t matter if I eat a bit less of them, right?"


    These longans and mangoes on the table were all tributes recently presented during thesest few days. They came from the southern distantnds of Nanyue. She ordinarily liked them anyway, but already hadn¡¯t been able to eat them for half a year. Therefore, as soon as His Majesty bestowed them to her, she couldn¡¯t stop herself and ate quite a bit everyday.


    "Whether you eat more or less will affect your condition in the end. If Your Highness wants to recover quickly, and prevent what happenedst night from happening again, then you need to abstain from them." Without dwelling too much upon it, Luo Qing Luan merely reminded her lightly.


    Only as a physician with the caring heart of one did she earnestly give Imperial Consort Song these suggestions. Otherwise......merely the consort¡¯s identity as Nangong Chen, this nauseating person¡¯s mother, was enough for her to not say even half a word.


    "This......then alright." In the end, she still had lingering fears, so Imperial Consort Song didn¡¯t dare to eat more.


    She had the pce maids remove these beloved fruits then asked again if she could get well quickly. She¡¯d been coughing for so many days and actually could no longer bear it for a moment more. If Luo Qing Luan were to leave and she red up again likest night, then how would she not lose her life?


    "If Your Highness would like to get well as quickly as possible, you should take medicine."


    Luo Qing Luan replied faintly. Even if she had a way to allow Imperial Consort Song to recover instantly, this kind of method was unavoidably too astonishing and was truly inadvisable to reveal. This originally was her life¡¯s greatest ability and was her trump card. If others discovered that her medical skills were so outstanding, wouldn¡¯t some astute people be able to figure out something?


    Moreover, she still wanted to investigate her mother¡¯s true cause of death. At least before the investigation concluded, she should not expose herselfpletely.


    As far as the empress was concerned, she would have a way.


    She was somewhat disappointed, but Imperial Consort Song could not force the other in the end, so she just asked her a few more things casually. Interesting to an end, she sent Luo Qing Luan home. "Chen¡¯er, send Qing Luan off."


    "Yes, Imperial Mother." Nangong Chen wished for nothing more as he quickly answered.


    They hadn¡¯t taken many steps out of the door to the pce hall when Luo Qing Luan turned around. "Thank you Fifth Prince for your trouble. The Imperial Consort¡¯s health is unwell. You don¡¯t need to send me out. Why don¡¯t you go back to take care of her."


    Continually sensing his gaze fixed on her body, which seemed as if it wanted to see through her, she just started to turn around when she discovered Nangong Chen¡¯spletely infatuated expression focused on her face again. How could she possibly still want him to see her off? She couldn¡¯t wait for him to immediately scram as far away as possible.


    Not able to feel Luo Qing Luan¡¯s disgust in the slightest, Nangong Chen was grinningly sticking to her. "Sister Qing Luan, no need to be courteous. Imperial Mother already asked me to send you off, so I naturally have to do this. However......"


    He looked at the time of day and smilingly said, "It¡¯s still early right now. How about you make a visit to my mansion? Yesterday, Qing Shuang even mentioned you and said that it¡¯s been awhile since she¡¯d seen you. If you go, she¡¯ll surely be very happy."

    Chapter 55a: Have Father¡¯s Concubine Bleed Big Time


    <h4></h4>


    Was it possible for Luo Qing Shuang to want to see her? More like she couldn¡¯t wait for her to scram a bit farther and forever never appear in front of her again, best if she died!


    Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but smile mockingly as she stood a step farther away and replied coldly. "Fifth Prince, may you behave in a dignified manner. You¡¯re already my brother-inw. This sister of mine is very jealous. It¡¯s better for us not to meet in the future. Even if we meet, it¡¯s better to converse less and avoid her bing unhappy."


    A tinge of embarrassment shed across his face as Nangong Chen seized this difficult toe by chance to be alone with Luo Qing Luan. How could he let her off?


    "Just call me Brother-in-Law. Sister Qing Luan, don¡¯t treat me like a stranger. Qing Shuang is now the Fifth Prince Side Consort. She should be more magnanimous. How could she be so jealous like an ordinary woman? If she dared to get angry, just watch as I scold her."


    A scum of a man through and through!


    Listening to this gave Luo Qing Luan a fit of nausea. Not concealing the disgust on her face in the least, "No need. I have things to do, need to quickly return home. Goodbye."


    Finished speaking, she turned around and left.


    "Wait!" Nangong Chen was still unwilling to give up and blocked her from the front right away. "I also happened to not have seen Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law for many days now. Since I¡¯m free today, might as well go pay them a visit and also send you home. Wouldn¡¯t that be killing two birds with one stone?"


    Without caring whether Luo Qing Luan agreed or not, he just moved forward on his own. After taking a couple of steps, he turned his head around and smiled. "Eh? Sister Qing Luan, let¡¯s go. Didn¡¯t you want to go home?"


    Sure enough a certain person had be brazen, and the skin on his face was even quite a bit thicker than the city wall. Luo Qing Luan had finally experienced it for herself today.


    Disinclined to pay him any heed, the two of them, one in front and one behind, once with a wooden expression, one with an ingratiating expression, such that the pce maids and pce eunuchs they passed on the way out looked at them with eyeballs that nearly popped out. Once she got on the horse carriage prepared for her, as expected, Nangong Chen also got on a carriage next to hers and rode in front. It didn¡¯t take long for them to reach the General¡¯s Mansion.


    "Second Lady, you¡¯ve returned......oh!" Dai Yue knew that Luo Qing Luan was returning today, so she kept watch at the door early on. Seeing the horse carriage arrive, she quickly came forward to wee it. Unexpectedly, the person she sawing out behind the curtain was actually Nangong Chen. She was so startled that she jumped backwards and nearly screamed.


    ring at Dai Yue in displeasure, Nangong Chen immediately walked towards the horse carriage behind him and said solicitously, "Sister Qing Luan, we¡¯re here. Let¡¯se down."


    "Will you be so kind as to step aside." Her voice cold, Luo Qing Luan was doing her best to be patient. She had been restraining herself. Other, she would¡¯ve already made a move earlier. For now, as long as she returned home, she didn¡¯t want to say anything more. Calling out to Dai Yue, she didn¡¯t even turn her head around as she walked inside.


    "Sister Qing Luan, wait for me......" Seeing the beautiful girl quickly leaving, Nangong Chen promptly overtook her.


    Luo Qing Luan suddenly turned around, cold intent released in her eyes. She spoke, pausing after each word. "Isn¡¯t Fifth Prince paying a visit to my father and Father¡¯s Concubine?"


    Her hand hidden inside her sleeves was already prepared. If this shameless scum of a man still dared to continue entangling her, she¡¯ll certainly make him lose consciousness here, making a fool of himself on the scene! Now that they¡¯d entered the mansion, she no longer had any misgivings. Even if Nangong Chen truly lost consciousness, no one else would know. At most, Luo Cheng and Wang Xue Ru might be startled, that¡¯s all.


    How could Dai Yue not tell that her mistress was already on the verge of flipping out? She immediately blocked in front and spoke simrly coldly. "Fifth Prince, my mistress is ady, so it¡¯s inconvenient for her to greet you. If you want to visit the master and side madam, I¡¯ll immediately lead the way."


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion lose its color, Nangong Chen was vexed from the bottom of his heart. She was formerly deeply attached to him. That silly girl who persistently wound around him was no longer to be found.


    She formerly loved him so much that she sometimes even chased after him to his mansion. Yet at that time, he didn¡¯t treasure it. Only now did he regret it. If he forced her too much again, perhaps she might never care about him again?


    Thinking to this point, Nangong Chen was scared with palpitations. Finally, he no longer entangled her and left resentfully.


    "My Lady, Fifth Prince treated you like this......"


    Watching Nangong Chen¡¯s back, Dai Yue was very puzzled. Didn¡¯t Fifth Prince previously loathe her mistress a lot and had always been severe in his speech towards her? Yet today, he stuck to her with no sense of shame. Could it be that he had taken the wrong medicine (was possessed)?


    Luo Qing Luan restored her expression, the coldness and indifference finally easing gradually. She said emotionlessly, "No need to bother with him. Let¡¯s return to your house."


    Just attending a Full Moon Feast, she didn¡¯t expect that so many things would happen. She still needed to properly digest everything, especially the matter rting to Empress Wang¡¯s pregnancy. She needed to properly prepare. If she could smoothly make Empress Wang pregnant and give birth to a child, then the empress will no longer focus on her all day long.


    Unconsciously smiling faintly, besides this reason, Empress Wang¡¯s character was also truly not bad, so she was also wanted to help.


    They hadn¡¯t arrived at their courtyard when Dai Yue suddenly thought of something. "That¡¯s right My Lady, early today morning, the master already had Butler Li start to renovate our courtyard. For the next two days, I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll be inconvenient for us to stay there. The master already had the courtyard that the Eldest Lady previously lived in vacated, so that you can stay there first."


    Had her temporarily live in Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s Frosted Flower Courtyard? Even though the environment there was much better, Luo Qing Luan still wasn¡¯t happy at all. Flowery Frost Courtyard was very close to Wang Xue Ru¡¯s Graceful Orchid Courtyard. Their gardens were only separated by a moon gate and easy to walk through. Basically, if someone spoke loudly at Flowery Frost Courtyard, it would be heard to some extent at Graceful Orchid Courtyard. If she truly lived there, wouldn¡¯t that be the same as watching Wang Xue Ru sashaying about before her all day long?


    Even if Wang Xue Ru didn¡¯t want to see her, she still hated to hear Wang Xue Ru¡¯s voice!


    Brows furrowed, Luo Qing Luan just started to think about visiting Luo Cheng to make things clear when something suddenly shed through her mind.


    Didn¡¯t she want to investigate her mother¡¯s cause of death from back then? Since there¡¯s such a big chance to get close to Wang Xue Ru, it could be considered to be an opportunity. If she really wanted to investigate something, then it¡¯d be much easier, and wouldn¡¯t give rise to suspicions.


    "Sure enough, Father had considered everything thoughtfully. Then fine, Dai Yue, everything has already been packed, right? Let¡¯s go take a look."

    Chapter 55b: Having Father¡¯s Concubine Bleed Big Time


    <h4></h4>


    At this moment, within Graceful Orchid Courtyard.


    "Madam, this servant saw everything clearly." Wang Xue Ru¡¯s dowry wet nurse* was totally discontented. She couldn¡¯t wait to add vinegar to oil as she recounted what happened previously at the front courtyard. "The seconddy was sent home by her brother-inw. Moreover, the way he looked at her was different than before. It was both affectionate and patient. From what I can see, I¡¯m afraid he has been bewitched by her......"


    "Great! That lowly girl......"


    Having heard that, Wang Xue Ru gnashed her teeth in anger. The Fifth Prince was her Qing Shuang¡¯s husband. Luo Qing Luan actually dared to seduce him?


    As if there wasn¡¯t enough enmity already, Nanny Li still continued to pour oil on the fire. "Madam, this seconddy recently has been more more unbridled. Having gotten on master¡¯s good side, not only is her courtyard being remodeled and refurbished, she even dared to offend Third Princess. Very likely, Madam doesn¡¯t know that the seconddy formerly sent out word that she wanted to challenge all of the nobledies and wanted to be the capital¡¯s most talented girl. Doesn¡¯t this clearly show that she wants to p the Duchess of Yiyang¡¯s face? If the Marquis of Xuanping became angry, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll also be somewhat resentful towards the master......"


    "Stop talking!"


    Interrupting Nanny Li in a rage, Wang Xue Ru fiercely pped the table. "This repulsive girl. At that time, if it wasn¡¯t for......" The words barely left her mouth when it they came to a stop abruptly.


    This was a secret from back then. She was momentarily furious and nearly said it out loud. If someone were to know what she did, most likely, it would turn the earthy upside down. Smiling coldly, Wang Xue Ru didn¡¯t care about it too much at all. The people who knew of this matter from back then had basically all died, or else, they¡¯d been dismissed by her away from the capital.


    The remaining two or three people were all trusted aids who she brought from her parent¡¯s home. They absolutely wouldn¡¯t leak the tiniest bit of information. This was something she was still confident about.


    It¡¯s just a pity. If Luo Qing Luan had truly drownedst time when she fell into the water, it would¡¯ve been great. How would there still be so many things happening afterwards?


    The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Wang Xue Ru¡¯s red lips slowly spit out a few words. "Even if it¡¯s for Qing Shuang......I also absolutely can¡¯t continue to allow this girl to go free. Just based on the fact that she seduced her brother-inw alone, Master also won¡¯t spare her."


    Just as she was going to find Luo Cheng andin, Wang Xue Ru had just reached her door when she Luo Qing Luan straight ahead, who she loathed the most, walking towards her.


    "Where is Father¡¯s Concubine going? I¡¯m looking for you for something. Not holding you up, am I?" Luo Qing Luan smilingly walked towards her. As she walked, she spoke, her face brimming with a faintly smiling expression, as if radiating ayer of mist. Her whole body seemed lively and dazzling.


    This kind of appearance, even though Wang Xue Ru abruptly saw her, she was still stunned by the sight. Only after that did shee to her senses.


    Unexpectedly even more beautiful than her Qing Shuang!


    No wonder relying on this face was enough to seduce Fifth Prince!


    Even an outstretched hand doesn¡¯t p a smiling face. Though Wang Xue Ru loathed Luo Qing Luan, she nevertheless wouldn¡¯t express this to her face. With a blink, she changed to a smiling face. "Oh, Qing Luan, didn¡¯t the empress keep you at the pce yesterday? Why are you home so quickly? Who sent you back home?"


    Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t answer her questions and only asked. "Oh, by the way Father¡¯s Concubine, Father said that he wanted to remodel my courtyard. It is temporarily unlivable, so he had me stay at Elder Sister¡¯s Flowery Frost Courtyard, right?"


    Once she mentioned this, Wang Xue Ru also felt an unspeakable resentment, but she already vented about it in front of Luo Cheng before uselessly. Otherwise, how would she agree to take out the money?


    "Oh yeah, look how good your father is to you. She still loves you the most, therefore, you need to be a bit more sensible. As for the courtyard, it¡¯ll be livable with just a little bit of work......"


    Wang Xue Ru was just going to tell Luo Qing Luan to be grateful. Her courtyard only needed a little bit of work and money should be saved as much as possible. Merely this morning, she already withdrew three hundred taels of silver from the general fund. Her heart basically hurt so much that her heart and liver were trembling.


    But Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t wait for her to finish speaking before she responded smilingly. "Yes. I understand Father¡¯s kind intentions. Father already told me now that the empress favors me, there may even be peopleing from the pce. If someone were to find out that the ce I live in was so simple and crude, he¡¯s afraid that it won¡¯t look good. That¡¯s why Father said that the remodel has to be beautiful, so that it¡¯s exhibit our General Mansion¡¯s impressiveness."


    "Father¡¯s Concubine, for this remodel, maybe two or three thousand taels of silver should be spent, right?" After she finished speaking, she deliberately looked at Wang Xue Ru with a smile that wasn¡¯t a smile, appearing very happy.


    "It¡¯s a remodel, the foundation is still there. It¡¯s not like we¡¯re constructing a new building, so not that much is needed. Five hundred......"


    "Huh? Only five hundred? That¡¯s unlikely." Luo Qing Luan immediately dered, "Father said that he¡¯ll buy the best furnishings and the garden will also need to bendscaped with flowers and grass. We also need to build a koi pond. From what I can see, not even two or three thousand may be enough."


    "This......" Even though she knew that Luo Qing Luan was using the opportunity to rip her off, yesterday, she was kept by Empress Wang to stay overnight in the pce. This was an undeniable fact. Wang Xue Ru continued with a bleeding heart, "That still doesn¡¯t need to cost so much. One thousand taels of silver......"


    Luo Qing Luan frowned and interrupted her again, "In my opinion, let¡¯s discuss this with Father once again. The empress said that she¡¯ll probably grace our General¡¯s Mansion with her presence sometime. In case at that time, the empress think that......"


    "Qing Luan, what did you say? Her Highness the Empress wants to visit our General¡¯s Mansion?" Wang Xue Ru responded in disbelief. How¡¯s that possible. The empress was the mother of a country. How could she casually leave the pce? Even if they¡¯re the General¡¯s Mansion, that¡¯s probably still not enough for Her Highness the Empress to grace them with her presence, right?

    Chapter 56a: Jealous


    <h4></h4>


    "Her Highness mentioned it a bit. I also can¡¯t say for sure. If Father¡¯s Concubine can¡¯t make the decision, then I had better go ask Father."


    Even though she was only speaking nonchntly in front of Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan herself could tell that it wouldn¡¯t be long before Empress Wang truly and possibly would grace the General¡¯s Mansion with her presence. It was only a matter of her putting a few things in order.


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan walking away, Wang Xue Ru immediately pulled her back. "Ok. Don¡¯t go looking for your father. I can manage this kind of thing just fine." How would she dare to allow Luo Qing Luan to go see Luo Cheng. If she truly went to see him, it¡¯s very possible that with a few words, this girl could use the Empress¡¯ status to have himy down the big bucks to build her a brand new courtyard from scratch. When that time came, she¡¯d need to spend even more money.


    "Alright. Alright. Isn¡¯t it just a matter of remodeling your courtyard? Your father¡¯s concubine can handle these things just fine. You¡¯ll surely be satisfied. Good now, right?" Wang Xue Ru couldn¡¯t help it. She could only be more generous while cursing Luo Qing Luan in her heart.


    Sure enough, this girl was bing more and more unbridled. Wielding the Empress¡¯ little bit of favor upon her, she was already so undisciplined and out of control. If in the future, she truly became the crown prince consort, wouldn¡¯t this girl step all over her and Qing Shuang?


    No, she absolutely couldn¡¯t let this kind of thing happen.


    "Nanny Li, watch her carefully for me. If there¡¯s any wind blowing or grass moving, immediately tell me about it." Deep hatred shing through her eyes, Wang Xue Ru knead her hands, tightening one finger after another.


    Rarely had she stepped into Flowery Frost Courtyard before, Luo Qing Luan knew that she wouldn¡¯t be living here for long and didn¡¯t even walk around the rest of the premises. She merely looked around Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s previous bedroom. "Dai Yue, have you changed everything?"


    "Please be at ease, My Lady, besides the furniture previously used by the Eldest Lady, I¡¯ve changed everything that you habitually use. I even had the butler find me a few people to change your bed. With a look, you can tell that this is the bed that you¡¯ve been sleeping in." Dai Yue answered smilingly.


    Luo Qing Luan nodded, pleased. "En. You¡¯re the smart one."


    Dai Yue nodded. "I know that you won¡¯t be able to sleep in the Eldest Lady¡¯s bed. Me too," she started muttering as she continued speaking, "I also don¡¯t like to sleep in Chunmei¡¯s bed. Who knows whether she is dirty or not, has taken a shower, or if she has lice?"


    With a ¡¯pffft¡¯, sheughed out loud. Luo Qing Luan shook her head. "You. Stop thinking about such exaggerated stuff. You just feel ufortable, that¡¯s all, then it might truly be dirty." *


    <h4></h4>


    *TN: Sorry, I read this a few times over and somehow still don¡¯t get what Luo Qing Luan was trying to say here.


    <h4></h4>


    She put her personal belongings in order, especially those items which were concealed within the secretpartment in her headboard. It started getting dark not long after.


    Eating dinner at Flowery Frost Courtyard, she surveyed the scenery all around. The tall, dark green bayan looked like an imperial crown. In a corner, pink little flowers were blooming, set off by rows upon rows of neatly pruned flowerbed. Luo Qing Luan felt that this could be considered a form of benefit.


    Standing at the window looking outside, the sunset reached as far as the eye could see, dying the sky a golden yellow color. The setting sun¡¯s fading glow gradually darkened.


    "My Lady, I¡¯m going to boil water for your bath, alright?" Dai Yue just finished speaking when her expression changed. "Hey, why¡¯s that person acting so sneakily? My Lady, look!" She pointed outside the window, but saw that the other person seemed to have sensed something and disappeared in a sh.


    "Huh? Gone?"


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. This was hardly unexpected.


    Who sent that person? Was that still a question? Who could it be apart from Graceful Orchid Courtyard which was close by. Can¡¯t believe her father¡¯s concubine was still so deeply guarded against her. In the end, was it because she was afraid something would be discovered, or was it because there was some other secret motive. That¡¯s why she secretly paid close attention to her actions?


    "No need to bother with it. We haven¡¯t done anything anyways. What are you worried about?" Luo Qing Luan paused, then continued, "But Dai Yue, if you discover that there¡¯s really a little thief who can¡¯t keep their hands and feet to themselves and dared toe in here, don¡¯t hesitate to call someone to beat them to death. That¡¯s certainly not overdoing it! If there¡¯s any consequences, I¡¯ll stand behind you, understand?"


    She raised her voice when saying thest few sentences, purposefully allowing certain people to hear her.


    Even thought she knew that Wang Xue Ru absolutely wouldn¡¯t allow her to act at will under her nose, it was still a good idea to scare her sometimes. Perhaps the other person might really unmask her true nature as a result!


    ............


    Crown Prince¡¯s mansion.


    Beaded curtains rocked, producing melodious tinkling sounds. A maid in dark clothes held a pot of aged ice flower wine as she respectfully ced it on the table top. After that, she bowed and withdrew, not daring to be neglectful in the slightest.


    There was nothing superfluous on the table. Three white jade tes, three dishes of food looked somewhat simple and crude. However, only someone who personally tasted these three dishes would know what it meant to prepare food with utmost care, what was meant by exotic delicacies.


    "Ziqing,e, taste this sparrow tongue soup. Reportedly, this is indeed a cooking method which only exists in Dongwan country. It¡¯s the new cook who recently came who made this. I feel the vor is eptable." As Nangong Qing ate, he spoke. Even though his table manners was graceful, consuming food neither quickly, nor slowly, if other people were to see this, they¡¯d still be shocked.


    The high and mighty crown prince was actually so casual in private as well? Not speaking while eating was an old adage. Surprisingly, he didn¡¯t pay attention to this at all?


    But with a look at that person sitting beside him, perhaps things would be made clear. If there was anyone in Western Chu who could say a few things to the cold faced Prince Nn Ye, then maybe there was none other than Crown Prince Nangong Qing.


    With regards to Nangong Qing¡¯s good intention, Nn Ye nevertheless didn¡¯t say anything in reply. Apart from the half filled cup of ice flower wine in front of him, he didn¡¯t even touch the three dishes worth more than a thousand taels.

    Chapter 56b: Jealous


    <h4></h4>


    "Don¡¯t like it?" Nangong Qing appeared muddled as if he hadn¡¯t slept and pointed to another dish. "Then try this one? Even though this is a vegetable dish, don¡¯t look down on it, ok? Merely the main course of jade lotus abalone is not something you can find just anywhere, not to mention this apanying dish that uses a hundred fragrant leaves paired harmoniously. Yes, even though I feel that it¡¯s not bad, if she¡¯s here, she would most likely still be able to find fault with it."


    Once he thought of what happened that day at the restaurant, Nangong Qing still savored the lingering memories. A smiling expression appeared on his face as he said, "Ziqing, you weren¡¯t there at the time and didn¡¯t witness the second Miss Luo¡¯s graceful bearing. I simply never thought that there was still such an erudite and multi-talented woman in the world. Not only does she y the zither, she also paid so much attention to culinary delicacies."


    As he spoke, he looked again at the three dishes on the table before sighing. "s, I wonder how she would evaluate these three dishes that I had the cook especially prepare? Sigh, Ziqing, can you give me some critique in advance......"


    "You¡¯re very happy aren¡¯t you?" Suddenly, and indifferent voice came from Nn Ye¡¯s mouth, without the slightest warmth from his eyes.


    Not sensing the other person¡¯s indifference at all. Even with a trace of jealousy, Nangong Qing immediately replied. "Exactly! Ziqing, you and I are rare pals and soul mates. There are some things I won¡¯t hide from you.


    As he spoke, he smiled. He seemed to see that youngdy dressed in snow white in front of his eyes, one smile, one frown, could actually attract him so much. Each expression, each word, each movement, could linger in his memory like that.


    Nangong Qing said while half awake, in a muddled state, "I can dere that the woman I want to find in this lifetime is her. She¡¯s so special, so beautiful. If I didn¡¯t know that she¡¯s the general¡¯s second daughter, I¡¯m afraid I would suspect that she¡¯s a goddess from heaven visiting the earth......"


    "A little, silly girl, nothing more, yet you make her out to be so incredible?"


    Nn Ye¡¯s statement again coldly interrupted him, so much so that there was even mocking and disbelief in his tone of voice.


    Finally sensing that his close friend seemed to misunderstand Luo Qing Luan a bit, Nangong Qing exined in deadly earnest. "No no, Ziqing, you must have been deceived by those rumors about her before. If you can truly interact with her, you¡¯ll discover what kind of person Miss Luo is."


    "Exceptionally intelligent, gentle and kindhearted, a character like orchids and a heart like lilies (clean and fragrant in character and pure in heart)......"


    Nn Ye sneered in his mind. That girl, when was she ever gentle and kindhearted? She was so ruthless towards him, itching to break his leg with a stomp, even visited the brothels and drink with courtesans. How was she like an honorable nobledy? Saying that she¡¯s intelligent, a character like orchids and a heart like lilies? More like crafty in multiple ways and scheming in endless ways, right?


    "In the past, I¡¯ve never thought about whether I¡¯d fall in love with a woman someday, but now, I understand." The corners of his mouth curved upwards, brimming with a tender, beaming smiling expression. Nangong Qing¡¯s gaze was resolute as he raised a cup of ice flower wine before him and spoke one word at a time. "Ziqing, let me tell you. I must marry her as my crown prince consort!"


    Was that right? This woman was the same as a little wildcat. You¡¯re certain she¡¯s suitable to be the crown prince consort?


    Nn Ye smiled coldly in his heart, yet not a trace was visible on his face, appearing as indifferent as before. However, an unconceble feeling of anger shed through the bottom of his eyes, then instantly disappeared.


    This stinky girl, haven¡¯t seen her for barely a moment, yet she met up with another man to eat and drink already. Was it possible that she didn¡¯tprehend the reserveness that a woman should have in the least? If he didn¡¯t properly disciple her, he¡¯s afraid she¡¯d only be more and more unbridled in the future!


    "I still have things to do, leaving." Thinking to this point, Nn Ye stood up and left.


    "Hey, Ziqing, where are you going?" The other person already walked out of the door before Nangong Qing reacted, so it was already toote.


    Having left the crown prince¡¯s mansion, Nn Ye, dressedpletely in dark clothes, seemed to be a spirit blending into the night. He disappeared noiselessly into therge street. Even if someone stared intently at him, they still wouldn¡¯t be able to tell when he disappeared, or where he was going.


    Only feeling as if a ze was ignited in his heart, Nn Ye only thought about capturing Luo Qing Luan and properly reproaching her as he jumped on a rooftop. How could she be so casual and actually just share a meal with Nangong Qing so easily.


    Could it be she liked him? And also wanted to be crown prince consort?


    Once he thought of this, he couldn¡¯t help but heat up, unable to control himself.


    Putting to full use his light foot skills, Nn Ye very quickly already found the General¡¯s Mansion. With familiarity, he arrived at that shabby, simple and crude little courtyard. But with one look, he could tell something was off. It simply didn¡¯t look like someone lived here. Obviously, Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t here.


    This clearly was her little courtyard, but where was she?


    The gears in his mind spinning, this little snag could not stump him. He looked all around and very quickly saw Luo Qing Luan¡¯s figure at Flowery Frost Courtyard.


    Through the opened window, her head was bent over, as if she was writing something. Her snow white neck was as slender as a swan¡¯s. Her feathery eyshes hung down softly, red lips pursed, as if smiling somewhat.


    Standing on the top of the wall, all of the fury in Nn Ye¡¯s heart dissipated into nothingness.


    Such elegant serenity, what a moving scene. She held a brush moving rapidly, obviously already nned in advance what to write down. From time to time, she even smiled, clearly in a very satisfied manner. He suddenly became very curious. What in the world was she writing and also drawing?


    What Luo Qing Luan was writing was naturally her new little romance novel.


    She didn¡¯t sense that she was being watched at all and was only immersed in her own world, looking upon each single written word as if looking at money. Once she thought of this, she was filled with enthusiasm. Even though the night had already deepened, she still hadn¡¯t stopped.

    Chapter 57a: Nn Ye¡¯s Jealousy


    <h4></h4>


    Inside the boudoir, Luo Qing Luan looked at the pages she just finished writing and slowly reread it again, quite satisfied.


    "Looks like my ability to weave stories is bing more and more awesome. If I were to be a storyteller at teahouses, no doubt the entire ce would be filled to capacity." She smiled, proud of herself, thinking that she¡¯s going to rake in some big money again very soon. Presently, she¡¯s waiting for the ink to drypletely before putting it away and going to rest.


    After putting away the papers properly, Luo Qing Luan rubbed her eyes before feeling her weariness attack her. Looking at the hourss beside her, it¡¯s nearly midnight. She also didn¡¯t feel like immediately binding the little racy romance she just finished writing and just got ready to go to sleep.


    Suddenly, she hadn¡¯t reached her bedside when the lights were extinguished.


    Immediately on guard, Luo Qing Luan opened her mouth to shout, yet unexpectedly, she barely turned around when she felt a strong wind attacking. Her entire body was embraced into someone¡¯s bosom. She even thought that a lecher was looking to rape someone in the middle of the night. She immediately wanted to take out the ckout Powder when a clear and raw smell drifted over, seemingly a bit familiar. She stopped in ce.


    "Nn Ye?"


    She barely uttered the words when the other person tightened his arms without saying anything at all while he held her firmly in ce. His great strength made Luo Qing Luan absolutely unable to resist before she was carried away by this person as he jumped out the window and charged up the roof.


    The cold wind blew gently. The feeling of flying in the night wasn¡¯t something that everyone could experience, as if he was a master at leaping onto roofs and over walls, almost as if his body could effortlessly soar through clouds and sail through mist. However, not only did Luo Qing Luan not enjoy it. On the contrary, her anger was rising.


    "Nn Ye, where are you taking me? The grand and stately Prince of Chu surprisingly kidnapped a maiden in the middle of the night. If a matter like this were to be made known, don¡¯t you think......"


    "If you continue to speak, I won¡¯t mind stopping up your mouth."


    Nn Ye¡¯s voice was emotionless. His mood couldn¡¯t be discerned. Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t used to being so physically close to another person in this way and continued to move her mouth. "You dare! Put me down, you hear?......"


    She had not finished speaking and when she felt a few of her body¡¯s acupoints being paralyzed. Her entire body became rigid and unable to move.


    ¡¯If you speak another word of nonsense, I will do as I promised."


    As someone who¡¯d always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion, how could Luo Qing Luan care about his threat? She didn¡¯t believe that Nn Ye dared to kill her. Without thinking anything through, she started cursing. "You despicable, shameless......"


    "Oh......"


    In the next moment, her lips had been blocked. Nn Ye kissed her.


    It was the same as an electric shock. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s entire body was stunned and stared nkly and actually didn¡¯t resist immediately. Even though she was unable to makerge movements, she was still able to perform small movements like talk or blink, yet she didn¡¯t bite Nn Ye¡¯s lips. Rather, she allowed him to kiss her.


    During this second when she nked out, Nn Ye, however, wanted a yard after receiving an inch. He embraced her and exerted all of his strength to kiss her wildly, as if he was punishing her. He pried open her lips and pushed his way deep inside, extracting every bit of her breath, absorbing her sweet vor. He embraced her tightly, as if she and he were enemies, wishing that he could swallow her into his stomach.


    This sudden kiss made Luo Qing Luan stupefied. In the past, even though it¡¯s not like they hadn¡¯t kissed, still, she was the one who voluntarily yed around. But the way it was right now was that she was sneak attacked by him.


    Finally regaining her wits, she wanted to bite down, but just at the crucial moment, Nn Ye seemed to have anticipated it. He was already one step ahead and released her.


    "You......" Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face turnedpletely red and wanted to tell him off in her exasperation.


    "Want a repeat?" Nn Ye looked at her coldly.


    Luo Qing Luan shut up.


    She¡¯d never been so defeated in someone¡¯s hands before besides Nn Ye......at this point, in her mind, Luo Qing Luan already cursed and poured dog¡¯s blood on him (let loose a stream of abuses), hating herself for not being able to move. She would¡¯ve resolutely, without the slightest hesitation, use acupuncture to needle him to death.


    It¡¯s best if she acupunctured him so that he could no longer ¡¯do the act¡¯. Let¡¯s see how he could still be so arrogant in the future!


    She couldn¡¯t speak, but the fury in her eyes hadn¡¯t eased in the least. She red at him hatefully. If res could kill, Nn Ye totally would¡¯ve died a thousand times.


    A sneer shing through his mind, Nn Ye didn¡¯t care about Luo Qing Luan¡¯s re in the slightest as his arm again encircled her slender waist before continuing to soar into the air.


    The two of them flit across all of the mansions in the capital belonging to rich and powerful people like treading on level ground. Gradually, the buildings beneath them became, lower, shabbier. Evidently they¡¯d already arrived at the slums.


    Luo Qing Luan could tell that Nn Ye should be taking them out of the capital, but she didn¡¯t say a word, didn¡¯t ask again. She only maintained a calm face, while calcting in her mind how she could escapeter on.


    Tonight¡¯s moon was bright with few stars. The bright moon hung up high, sprinkling its bright splendor down at them, but Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mood was increasingly gloomy. How could she be in the mood to admire those things? She didn¡¯t know why Nn Ye went crazy again and came to bother her again. It couldn¡¯t be because someone else offended him, so he took it out on her in anger?


    Then he would be totally illogical, repulsive to the extreme. Did he really think that she was easy to bully?


    Finally, Nn Ye took her pass a forest, then set her down by a little river bank outside the city.


    She even thought he was going to do something, but what Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t expect was that Nn Ye ced her on the grass, then looked at her unblinkingly. He continually maintained a calm and collected face while all kinds of expressions shed through his eyes from time to time, as if he was contemting something, ridicule, surprise, then again an ice-cold expression in a moment. He was filled with contradictions and astonishment.

    Chapter 57b: Nn Ye¡¯s Jealousy


    <h4></h4>


    If it wasn¡¯t for her not being able to move, Luo Qing Luan truly might have ced the palm of her hand on his forehead and ask, "Prince of Chu, has your lordship contracted some disease?" But she didn¡¯t want to infuriate Nn Ye. At present, her acupoints had been sealed. The pills she prepared and the needles were both useless. She absolutely wouldn¡¯t act recklessly.


    "What kind of person are you in the end?" In the dim of night, Nn Ye suddenly uttered. Hearing this, Luo Qing Luan was stupefied.


    Was he crazy? In the middle of the night, he kidnapped her from the general¡¯s mansion and brought her here surprisingly just for the sake of asking this question?


    However, without waiting for her to answer, Nn Ye stared at her and already continued to speak. "Luo Qing Luan, at the beginning, I only thought that you were just a bit of a schemer. You pushed your sister into the pond and had her pay dearly. Even though that surprised me a little, between women, this kind of fighting and scheming was truly not enough to mention. I originally didn¡¯t give it any more thought. But now, I discovered that I¡¯ve underestimated you."


    "You surprisingly had the nerve to openly visit courtesan houses. Moreover, you could even think of so many ways to make money. Don¡¯t assume that I don¡¯t know. Those racy illustrated novels which has been spreading around the capital recently came from your hands, right?"


    Hearing this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart palpitated. He unexpectedly already knew earlier on?


    Damn it. She was even under the impression that she¡¯d concealed everything quite well. Besides Boss Li, no one else was aware. But she didn¡¯t expect that this man actually investigated her thoroughly early on and quietly besides.


    Nn Ye suddenly detained her wrists and coldly said, "Even more so, I didn¡¯t expect that you went as far as to use the zither in a vain attempt to seduce the crown prince. Finally, you even whispered sweet nothings to each other while spending time together privately with him. When all was said and done, what shameful things did you do with him?"


    "Did you want to be crown prince consort, with delusions of glory, splendor, and wealth?"


    Thest sentence was brimming with chilling coldness. The strength of his hands suddenly also increased, hurting her so much she couldn¡¯t help but let out a muffled groan. "Let go of me, psycho!" She roared towards him, "You¡¯re sick aren¡¯t you, when did I ever have delusions of glory, splendor, and wealth? What does it have to do with you who I spend time with. You¡¯re not anybody to me, either, to meddle in my business like this......"


    Suddenly, Nn Ye eyes darkened. He crazily pulled her into his bosom and willfully nibbled on the petal of her lip.


    "Woah......"


    Luo Qing Luan cried out in rm, but Nn Ye didn¡¯t let her off at all. Instead, he attacked her even more roughly.


    She bit down fiercely without hesitation and saw him quickly getting out of the way. A face full of resentment as he rubbed the corner of his mouth.


    "Sure enough, it¡¯s a little wildcat. Ferocious, so practiced at biting men. Have you already employed this countless times." Nn Ye¡¯s face turned gloomy as he spit out line after line of malicious conjectures without any trace of politeness.


    His mood was very vile. Even he himself didn¡¯t understand why he would capture Luo Qing Luan and run.


    During those moments he infiltrated the general¡¯s mansion and saw her quietly writing something at the window, that scene of warmth and tranquility, the smiling expressions which shed from time to time across that beautiful and elegant face even made him feel pretty good. Yet once he thought about those things Nangong Qing said previously, a nameless fire red up.


    Scenes of her and Nangong Qing together alone shed through his mind, seating side by side having a meal, speaking softly to each other. He even started to guess what she might¡¯ve said at the end, what she might¡¯ve done, guess that she was attracted to Nangong Qing¡¯s grand crown prince majesty. He¡¯d only seen her twice, yet surprisingly promised that he¡¯d make her the imperial consort?


    Without thinking, he¡¯d carried Luo Qing Luan out here. Then, he was bitten by her. The pain finally made him a bit more cool-headed.


    "Nn Ye, it¡¯s none of your business how many men I¡¯ve kissed. If you have any ability, release me!" Luo Qing Luan frowned at him. Not only was she not shy, she provoked him without the slightest timidity instead.


    This person needed a beating, right? Time and time again she didn¡¯t take ruthless action against him. He truly think that she couldn¡¯t do anything to him? If she hadn¡¯t been upied with finding the truth about her mother¡¯s death, and had no time to deal with him, she wouldn¡¯t have forgotten the enmity from a few days ago!


    Nn Ye¡¯s lips curved up into a smile that¡¯s not a smile and said indifferently, "Do you think that releasing you will allow you to do something to me?"


    Luo Qing Luan narrowed her eyes. "Fine. How about you try releasing me?"


    As long as he released her, see if she couldn¡¯t make him die!


    Just because she was female, did he think she couldn¡¯t do anything to him? Could it be that he thought he already knew her tricks, so he could avoid them? Did he not know the words ¡¯lower one¡¯s guard (underestimate one¡¯s enemy)¡¯?


    Nn Ye opened his mouth. "It¡¯s not impossible to release you, but you need to answer me one question."


    His gaze suddenly became prating as he focused on her, as if he wanted to see through her. Pronouncing each word clearly, he asked, "Miss Luo, I¡¯d like to ask you, why was it that when I saw you at the general¡¯s mansion on that day, you werepletely different from the rumors about you in the past? One was a stupid, vulgar, love smitten idiot, while the other was full of craftiness and cunning, sly, capable?"


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression changed then heard him continue coldly, "if the current you is the real you, then may I ask what in the world your real objective is, to have wronged yourself for over a dozen years. Hiding yourself right up to the present before you revealed yourself?"


    With a boom, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s brain seemed as if it exploded. During this short period of time, she acted without any misgivings and showed off a person who waspletely different than before. Even though Dai Yue sensed it, she gave the excuse of following a book and Dai Yue didn¡¯t doubt her at all. Even Luo Cheng and Luo Qing Shuang, Wang Xue Ru, these people, also didn¡¯t ponder on it. They just thought that she was truly ying the fool in the past. But Luo Qing Luan knew now that Nn Ye had investigated her so thoroughly, and even asked her these questions. His suspicions didn¡¯t involve only this point.


    "Miss Luo, it¡¯s as if you¡¯ve changed into a different person. Can you tell me why this is?" Nn Ye stared coldly at her, still detaining her wrists, seemingly like if she answered incorrectly, he would make a move against her.

 Chapter 58 part1

    Chapter 58a: What Condition Do You Want This Prince to Agree to?


    <h4></h4>


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mind was in a whirl. How could she tell Nn Ye that she actually was no longer the Luo Qing Luan from the past?


    If she truly admitted this out loud, she¡¯s afraid not only would he not believe her, he might even suspect if she had an even bigger scheme.


    Without disying any expression on her face, Luo Qing Luan only frowned with an expression of impatience. She said coldly, "Your Lordship Prince of Chu, since you want to know the reason, I ask that you let go of me. Such a big man like you sealing my acupoints and even immobilized my wrists, why......are you so scared of me?"


    While speaking, she smiled faintly as the corners of her mouth raised into a slight sneer. "Are you afraid that I¡¯ll copy your appearance into those racy romances and have everyone in the capital see it? This handsome appearance of yours may not be liked by only the women, maybe even the men will also......"


    "Shut up!"


    Nn Ye interrupted her with a darkened face.


    This bad girl was indeed had a sharp tongue! Under this kind of circumstances, she still dared to threaten him?


    Without caring in the least, Luo Qing Luan took a nce at him, and continued with a smile. "I¡¯m not in a good mood. I¡¯m always amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Unless you kill me, otherwise......you¡¯ve caused my bad mood. Perhaps the main character of my next erotic illustrations will be you."


    With eyebrows creased, Nn Yeughed in extreme anger. "Fine. How about I release you first? Is it even possible for you to run still?"


    After he finished speaking, his fingers moved and pressed on two acupoints. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s body rxed, and she regained her ability to move.


    She stretched her somewhat stiff hands and feet and looked at her body, even tidying up some hair which had been blown out of ce by the wind. Sure enough, Nn Ye didn¡¯t perform any superfluous movements and only looked at her indifferently, as if he simply didn¡¯t care she would run.


    Rolling her eyes, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand already felt the fragrance sachet at her waist, but she hadn¡¯t make another move before Nn Ye already spoke. "I advise you to be a bit more well-behaved, else if you anger me, I¡¯ll end up doing some things. Miss Luo, don¡¯t me me for not having protective feelings for the fairer sex then."


    This man, how hateful. Was it possible that he wanted to kill her?


    Luo Qing Luan shivered as the hand resting on her fragrance sachet casually hung down, before she looked towards Nn Ye. Yet she found that he smiled, but was not smiling. Even though his expression was cold, a pondering expression shed through his eyes, as if he was staring at a certain ce on her face.


    Suddenly reacting, Luo Qing Luan subconsciously touched her lips, blurting out, "Shameless!"


    This man focused his eyes fixedly on her lips, clearly hinting that if she didn¡¯t do as she was told he would mount an attack on her again. Moreover, he would even......vile. How could there be such a shameless man in the world?


    All of the women in the capital considered him to be the man they adored and even thought that he was as cold as ice and frost, separating himself thousands of miles from people? If they were to see Nn Ye¡¯s true colors, very likely, their eyeballs would fall out, right?


    "Whether I¡¯m shameless all depends upon whether Miss Luo is well-behaved or not." The corner of Nn Ye¡¯s mouth curved up, yet he didn¡¯t look at her again. Instead, his face turned away towards the little brook.


    The sound of clothes fluttering amidst the wild grasses rustled noisily, making the surroundings appear more and more tranquil in the dark. Luo Qing Luan watched him continually walk to the river bank, standing with hands behind his back, slender, his tall and straight silhouette was perfectly straight and upright like a pine tree. Blending into the night, he exuded a kind of increasing mysteriousness, making her unable to see through him.


    Robes fluttering upward, running water murmuring, gurgling river water flowing forward at great speeds, Nn Ye just stood there like that watching the whole time, not saying a word, nor did he turn around. Yet Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t produce a single intention of running away.


    As if there was a pair of eyes fixed on her, even if she only saw his back, it still gave her this kind of feeling of being monitored. Previously, she still had the intention of making a move against Nn Ye, but at this time, she had already dispelled those thoughts. She had a feeling that tonight¡¯s Nn Ye was off somehow. Even though she didn¡¯t know the reason, but ever since he took her away in the middle of the night, sigh, and said those things, she realized that¡ª¡ªhis mood was not good. It¡¯s best not to provoke him!


    As these thoughts shed by, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes narrowed. A vague sh of inspiration surfaced. To handle unusual people, at unusual times, unusual methods were needed. Was it possible for her to not have encountered simr circumstances in the past? Merely one Nn Ye, that¡¯s all. She didn¡¯t believe that she wouldn¡¯t be able to escape tonight.


    "Nn Ye, you want to know why I¡¯ve changed so much, that¡¯s also not impossible." As she spoke, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t retreat, but moved forward instead. Walking towards Nn Ye, she blurted out, "You kidnapped me out here tonight, I won¡¯t count this debt against you anymore, as long as after I answered your question, you agree to one condition for me. What do you think?"


    Having walked towards Nn Ye, she stood with him at the river bank. Luo Qing Luan winked at him charmingly, the perfect model of a spirited, innocent young girl.


    If she wasn¡¯t angry at him or making a move against him, she was actually quite adorable. Nn Ye also didn¡¯t know why he suddenly have this kind of feeling. Very quickly, he withdrew his gaze from her body and went back to looking at the pitch ck river water. He said emotionlessly, "Whether I agree or not is up to me, but whether you speak or not is beyond your control."


    "What, Your lordship the Prince of Chu want to bully a little girl like me tonight?" Luo Qing Luan feigned anger coquettishly, and pouted again.


    "It¡¯s beneath my dignity to......" Before he finished speaking, Nn Ye casually turned his head and took a look, just happened to see Luo Qing Luan pouting while acting coquettishly. He felt as if he had suddenly been attacked by something. He focused on her plump and tender lips, so pinkish, soft and delicate, wanting very much to take a bite out of them.


    This woman was surprisingly acting spoiled towards him?


    Damn it, why did he feel as if he couldn¡¯t control himself?

 Chapter 58 part2

    Chapter 58b: What Request Do You Want This Prince to Agree To?


    <h4></h4>


    He merely kissed her a few times as punishment, nothing more. It¡¯s not like he¡¯d never kissed women before, yet he¡¯d never had any superfluous feelings. But why today......he just felt as if there¡¯s an incessant voice in his head bewitching him: GO, GO, just taste her sweet vor!


    "Just a request, that¡¯s all. Don¡¯t tell me that Your Lordship feel that you don¡¯t have the ability to aplish it?"


    Luo Qing Luan was not aware in the least and continued to act coquettish while paying attention to what she wanted to say. "I¡¯ll tell you my secret. You agree to my request. Isn¡¯t this very fair? Or should we say that you want to bully me, a little......"


    As far as Luo Qing Luan was concerned, she was only deliberately lowering Nn Ye¡¯s vignce. If she was able to convince him to agree to her request, then it would be a big gain for her. She believed that with Nn Ye¡¯s identity, it was unlikely that he would lie to her. If she could find a reason to persuade him to help her, then that would absolutely be gaining an advantage for herself.


    She didn¡¯t realize the tumultuous inner war that Nn Ye was experiencing at all!


    After quite a long while, Nn Ye still did not say anything, so Luo Qing Luan started to lose hope. Why was this man so careful. Was he afraid she would mess with him? Did his paranoia have to be so severe. She previously only stepped on him a few times, and ruined his reputation and that¡¯s all. Could he really be thinking that she intended to do something bad against him?


    "Tell me first......whether I¡¯ll agree to your request, that¡¯s to be decided."


    Suddenly, Nn Ye¡¯s voice reverberated in the dark. Without knowing why, Luo Qing Luan heard some hoarseness in his voice, as if he was suppressing something. She observed his face which was unfathomable as deep water, seemingly in no way peculiar while he focused calmly at the surface of the river, as if a golden lotus had suddenly sprouted from the darkish water. He seemed unable to move his eyes away.


    Clenching her teeth, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but say. "Alright. But I¡¯m dering ahead of time, whether you believe what I say is up to you. Even if you don¡¯t agree to my request, you still can¡¯t detain me here. You have to hurry and send me back home."


    "It¡¯s pitch ck here. Who knows whether a wild boar will turn up from somewhere, or a wolf, or something? Scares me to death......" She muttered, voice bing softer and softer, as if she was extremely scared of the dark forest.


    Here we go again. She¡¯s pretending to be weak again.


    Nn Ye profoundly gaze in silence straight ahead.


    Even though he didn¡¯t turn his head to look at Luo Qing Luan, he could guess that at this moment, the expression on her face would absolutely be that lovely, pitiful one; timid and weak in appearance. If he truly believed her, in but a blink, he would fall into her hands. If he wasn¡¯t messed with, he would still be humiliated.


    She¡¯s truly interesting. He discovered that he became more and more interested in her.


    For so many years, he¡¯d never met a woman who could attract so much of his attention. Furthermore, she¡¯s even a very young girl. If this was indeed her true colors. Then he reckoned that his future days would be much more rxed and amusing.


    "Say it......" He urged her.


    "Uh." Luo Qing Luan answered softly, as her hands slowly twisted herpel, totally an appearance of a helpless and insecure youngdy. "Actually, the reason I concealed myself started three years ago......"


    "Why did I hear that the second Miss Luo already started to stupidly coil around Fifth Prince when she was seven or eight years old?" Nn Ye interrupted her.


    "Will you listen to me?" Luo Qing Luan clenched her teeth and red at him. Why was this man not the least bit patient?


    Seeing that the other person no longer spoke and merely smiled faintly, she then eventually continued speaking. As she spoke, she nned what her subsequent lies would be. A mix of half truths and half lies. There were many areas where she even added some truths and only mixed in some lies and certain key areas. She exined at length why she concealed her true nature, with nearly no suspicious points.


    Running everything through her mind, Luo Qing Luan reckoned that nothing was overlooked and continued, "Therefore, it¡¯s only for the sake of living on, and also becauseI wanted to find my mother¡¯s cause of death that I had no choice but to do that. Please think about it, I¡¯m merely a weak girl who had never been loved by her father, who her father¡¯s concubine detested. Even my older sister wanted to steal my fianc¨¦. If I don¡¯t do everything I can to change, should I really just wait to be killed?"


    "I¡¯m merely defending myself, that¡¯s all. I believe that you can understand where I¡¯ming from, right?"


    After she finished speaking, Luo Qing Luan looked up directly at Nn Ye. A pair of eyes like bright stars shining in the dim light of night.


    This purpose......was the reason she hid herself?


    After he heard Luo Qing Luan¡¯s words, it¡¯s not that Nn Ye didn¡¯t have any suspicions, but he also felt that her logic was reasonable and fair, not impossible at all.


    Luo Cheng is a noble general of the country of Western Chu, someone who he also worked together with before. Even though on the surface, he no longer hold power, he was still able to grasp rtivelyplete information regarding Luo Cheng, a general who could be considered an important character.


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t pay attention to personal matters within the General¡¯s Mansion at all, but he also knew that Luo Cheng¡¯s wife passed away from a difficult birth. If it was truly as Luo Qing Luan said, then Luo Cheng¡¯s concubine, Wang Xue Ru, was truly somewhat capable of killing the former¡¯s mother.


    As for whether this girl¡¯s abilities were taught to her by a mysterious old master. That was something he was unable to ascertain.


    In the past, his attention would not have been ced on Luo Qing Luan, this kind of woman who lived a sheltered life. He carefully inquired about Luo Cheng¡¯s affairs only because of thetter¡¯s identity as a military general. As for this master who appeared from who knew where, he wouldn¡¯t care about it, nor would he have tried to make conjectures. For now, he¡¯ll just believe her words as they are.


    "You¡¯ve heard me tell you everything. Presently, shouldn¡¯t Your Lordship agree to my one request?" At this moment, Luo Qing Luan asked him earnestly.


    She really still wanted to exchange conditions?


    Nn Ye turned around to face her. With hands resting behind him, he answered indifferently. "What request do you want this prince to agree to?"

    Chapter 59a: Exceptional Delicacy


    <h4></h4>


    As far as the condition she was going to put forward, firstly, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t want him to be suspicious of what she told him. Secondly, if he truly agreed, she would gain an additional powerful helping hand.


    Her request had to do with her mother¡¯s cause of death. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression also became solemn. "I would like you to help me investigate clearly the reason for my mother¡¯s death back then."


    As far as she was concerned, this matter might be problematic. After all, it¡¯s already been over ten years. Things had already changed for quite some time. But based on Nn Ye¡¯s identity and connections, it¡¯d be much simpler to carry out the investigation.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that he agreed. Nn Ye smiled faintly. It was unknown what he was thinking. It¡¯s just that the tone of his voice contained a trace of indifference. "Your mother already died. Why should I help you? It¡¯s of no benefit to me."


    "What benefit do you want?" She just knew that Nn Ye wouldn¡¯t agree so easily. Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t find this to be surprising at all.


    Looking at that exquisite and refined face, Nn Ye replied, "I don¡¯t think that you can bring forth anything that will move me. Money? I don¡¯tck any. Power? Heh heh, I¡¯ve already put down the highest official positions. Besides, these are also not something that a little girl like you can give me. As for your body......"


    Nn Ye¡¯s gaze started to wander on Luo Qing Luan¡¯s body with a deliberately examining expression as he looked her up and down, making her extremely ufortable. Seeing that Luo Qing Luan almost could no longer keep herself from exploding, he thenughed lightly and mocked, "Just your thin as a match body which hasn¡¯t even developed and can¡¯t evenpare with Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s interesting women......"


    "Nn Ye, you¡¯re indeed shameless!" Luo Qing Luan was so angered by his words that her whole face turned red.


    Therefore, you can¡¯t provide me with any benefit, then no need to talk."


    Without caring that he¡¯d been yelled at in the least, Nn Yeughed instead while withdrawing his gaze, not looking at her any longer. He even brushed his sleeves while shaking his head, as if Luo Qing Luan was truly as he stated, without a single good point, disappointing to the extreme.


    She originally didn¡¯t have to have Nn Ye¡¯s help anyway and merely wanted him to lower his guard, but Luo Qing Luan was now furious to no small degree. With a move of her hand, silver needles were already prepared. She wanted to stab them into Nn Ye. Best if he could be paralyzed.


    This repulsive man. She must have him know what awesomeness was!


    "Forget it if you don¡¯t agree, Nn Ye, you think I have to beg you?"


    As she spoke, she walked forward. Luo Qing Luan pretended to be both annoyed and helpless, panting with rage as she continued, "However, you¡¯ve abducted me to this ce, shouldn¡¯t you send me back? We¡¯ve already left the city. By having me return on my own at this time of night, you want to ruin my reputation, right?"


    The distance between them wasn¡¯t much to begin with. With merely a few steps, she already neared Nn Ye. The silver needles hidden between her fingers had already been prepared neatly. She could make a move at any time, but right at this moment, Nn Ye turned around.


    His pitch-ck eyes were hidden in depth, as if the top of his head touched the firmament. She could clearly see the corners of his mouth curve up, yet it gave her a cold feeling. His handsomely clearplexion was perfect without a blemish to be found. Under the moonlight, those thinyer byyer of moonbeams contrasted his face, as if his entire body was ted by ayer of indistinct halo. Like a pure and holyke at the summit of a snowy mountain, free of dirt and detached from the three worlds.


    Somewhat suddenly, looking at such an unusual Nn Ye before her, such a handsome face, the ze in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart actually dissipated by no small amount.


    "I have never bullied little girls. If you truly want me to help you, then just do a little something to please me." Nn Ye stated neither slow nor swift, his voice deep and beautiful, simr to a breeze blowing gently between a bamboo grove, making a person calm and stress free.


    Please him?


    Luo Qing Luan wrinkled her nose. Only demons might know how to please him!


    This man, all it took was one look to know that he was the kind who was two-faced. One moment gloomy and cold, while smiling at another. Basically, no one knew what in the world he might be thinking. Rather than wasting time thinking about what would please him, why not just use this time to conduct her own investigation.


    Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t even have a chance to open her mouth and decline when Nn Ye spoke. "I also don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you. I heard that you¡¯re extremely particr when ites to food. Then how about you make a culinary delicacy right now to move me? How about it?"


    After hearing Nn Ye say that, Luo Qing Luan red at him ferociously.


    They were in the middle of a deste countryside. There¡¯s nothing here. Was it possible that he didn¡¯t know the saying ¡¯even the best housewife can not cook without ingredients¡¯, thismon saying? No matter howpetent she was, she still couldn¡¯t concoct chicken, fish, meat, or what not, right? As for seasonings, there wasn¡¯t even any salt, not to mention any other oil, vinegar, and so forth. How about the pots? Knives?


    He still called that not making things difficult? She simply wanted to beat him to death!


    "Looks like the second Miss Luo doesn¡¯t live up to your fame. I heard the crown prince mention your skills before and I even believed him that you¡¯re multi-talented?" Nn Ye shook his head with an expression like he already expected this and continued in a lightly mocking manner. "Forget it, I just won¡¯t for you......"


    "Nn Ye, if I made something, will you dare to eat it?" All of a sudden, Luo Qing Luan said faintly.


    During this split second, she abruptly thought of something. This was something she and her master discovered previously when they went out to look for herbal medicines. That night, they were sleeping outdoors on a certain mountain. At that time, master also found it by ident, was prompted by a sudden impulse, and made it for her to eat. Now that she thought of it, she figured she might as well have Nn Ye try this taste.


    It¡¯s just that, she didn¡¯t know if Nn Ye would have the guts and sense of adventure for fine exotic foods.


    Even though he didn¡¯t know what Luo Qing Luan was cooking up in her mind, Nn Ye smiled lightly. "As long as you make something and also dare to eat it, what would I have to fear?"


    "Fine. Then wait here." A tinge of craftiness shed through her eyes, Luo Qing Luan turned and headed towards the forest.

    <h4></h4>


    "What are you going to do?" Behind her, Nn Ye¡¯s inquisitive voice transmitted.


    "Just wait and you¡¯ll find out. What¡¯s the rush? Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re still worried that I¡¯ll run away?" Head still not turning around, Luo Qing Luan kept walking straight ahead.


    She walked within the forest in all earnestness, silver needles already well-prepared between her fingers. She carefully observed each ce she stepped on.


    There were lots of trees. Basically, they were all at least the diameter of a rice bowl. Some were particrly ancient, and were alreadyrge enough to wrap one¡¯s arms around. Wild weeds were quite deep and vines could be seen everywhere. The ground was also covered by ayer of dead leaves. Now and then, she could even find some herbal medicines and wild fruits. It appeared that she should be able to find the things she¡¯s looking for within this forest.


    Going deeper into the forest, the humidity became denser, and she could even see a thinyer of moisture covering the leaves. Luo Qing Luan squat down and looked under each stone. Not finding what she wanted, she continued to move forwards.


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t enter the forest. He only stood by the forest watching Luo Qing Luan¡¯s figure. She was dressed entirely in white and was distinctly visible beneath the diluted and mottled moonlight. Watching her busy manner, he didn¡¯t understand what she was looking at when she squatted down from time to time.


    Was it possible that she¡¯s looking for mushrooms?


    Otherwise, what other edible thing could there be in this forest? Even if there were wild hares, they would¡¯ve already been scared off by her. Moreover, he also didn¡¯t feel that she had the ability to catch these small animals.


    However, if she made a request, it¡¯s also not like he wouldn¡¯t make a move.


    Thinking about how, in a moment, he would be able to taste the food she personally cooked and prepared food, Nn Ye suddenly found himself looking forward to it with expectations. His previous low spirits from Luo Qing Luan and Nangong Qing going out to eat together also vanished like smoke into thin air.


    After waiting for quite some time, Nn Ye still hadn¡¯t received Luo Qing Luan¡¯s request, so he became even more curious. What in the world was this girl doing? She still needed to make him satisfied, that was a little problematic. She couldn¡¯t just randomly make do by finding some wild fruits to give him.


    After waiting again for some time, Luo Qing Luan still had not returned. Nn Ye became a bit impatient.


    He also didn¡¯t deliberately want to make things hard on her. As long as she casually made something, he would also take the chance to go with the flow and give his consent. But why hadn¡¯t shee out in such a long time? What in the world was she doing? If she wanted to find something edible, as long as she opened her mouth to ask him, he could easily catch a few pheasants, or shoot down a few wild birds, these are not difficult to do. Or else, within this river, there would definitely be fish. What was she doing, ignoring what¡¯s close by and looking far away instead? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he could see through the small cracks between the trees and had always been able to see that white silhouette moving back and forth, Nn Ye probably would¡¯ve suspected that she took advantage of the situation to escape.


    Just when he could no longer bear it and wanted to yell out, Luo Qing Luan finally came back.


    "You left for so long. What were you looking for?" Seeing that she came back in such a leisurely manner, without a speck of dirt on her body, without even stepping on some dead leaves, Nn Ye couldn¡¯t understand what food ingredient she was looking for.


    "Don¡¯te over. Wait until I finish making it a call you." Luo Qing Luan turned to the river bank and walked straight there. As she walked, she even added, "To avoid you getting disgusted upon seeing it and then have trouble eating."


    Nn Ye became even more curious. Luo Qing Luan clearly came back empty handed. What in carnation was she making for him to eat?


    No matter. In any case, he¡¯ll just wait. She couldn¡¯t have really just gather some leaves and wild fruits, right?


    In the darkness, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s movements were skilled and fast.


    Very quickly, a ball of fire zed. Nn Ye rxed. It seemed that this girl even brought some matchsticks* along with her, so the food must be something to be cooked, not wild fruits.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s rear figure blocked his view, so he couldn¡¯t see what she was making. Even though she didn¡¯t makerge movements, very quickly the sound of a cooking fire could be heard. Even though they were separated by seven or eight meters, Nn Ye very quickly smelled a faintly sweet yet savory fragrance.


    (*TN: Chinese matchsticks were created over a thousand years ago using pine wood sticks dipped in sulfur.)


    Sensing that it¡¯s not bad, he started to look forward to it.


    A girl with such an eye for quality, what kind of delicacy would she make for him to taste in the end?


    After patiently waiting for about the amount of time it took to drink a cup of tea, Luo Qing Luan apparently finished cooking and called him over. "Alright. Come and taste it now."


    Her sweet-sounding voice was simr to a pearl falling into a jade te. Nn Ye smelled a trace of an aroma of meat in the air. Unexpectedly, he also felt a bit hungry. He sauntered over and stood behind her while asking, "What did you make?"


    Luo Qing Luan extended her hand. He only saw a branch in her hand. On the branch was a slender strip of delicate looking meat. It looked luscious and translucent, just like a prawn. It was roasted over a fire until it emitted a trace of fat and also a savory aroma. Nn Ye received it and sniffed it. Immediately, the aroma assailed his nostrils and stirred his appetite big time.


    What a special smell, should not be bad?


    Probingly taking a nip, Nn Ye immediately felt the tender and slippery, fresh and delicious taste. Even though it had a salty smell with a rather sour and sweet taste that he wasn¡¯t ordinarily ustomed to eating, this crispy strip of meat was fresh, delicate and tasty, containing a vor with surprisingly stood out from the masses!


    This strip of meat was merely as long as two fingers and wasn¡¯t even enough to fit the spaces between his teeth.* Nn Ye finished it in an instant. Not only did he want more, a pang of hunger even attacked him. He asked, "Just this little bit? No more?"


    (*TN: ¡¯Not enough to fit the spaces between teeth¡¯ is amon Chinese expression which meant that the quantity of food is too little.)


    "How¡¯s the taste? Is your lordship the Prince of Chu satisfied?" Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t reply, but asked him instead. "If you¡¯re satisfied, there¡¯s naturally more. If you¡¯re not satisfied, then you don¡¯t have to eat any more."


    Unable to help it, heughed. This bad girl. She obviously wanted him to say that he¡¯s pleased. Nn Ye also didn¡¯t n on making an issue out of it. With delicious food before him, let¡¯s eat before speaking. He replied, "Mn, still edible, just that there¡¯s not much of it."


    "Since you¡¯re satisfied, then has Your Lordship also agreed to help me. Help me look into my mother¡¯s cause of death?" Luo Qing Luan questioned carefully.


    Pausing slightly, Nn Ye was still able to hold his temper and replied, "I won¡¯t go as far as to deceive you. Since you made food which I¡¯m satisfied with, I¡¯ll just agree, that¡¯s all."


    At longst, having obtained the answer she was satisfied with, Luo Qing Luan finally couldn¡¯t help butugh. "Your Lordship Prince of Chu. There¡¯s still more here that I¡¯ve prepared for you. Please enjoy them well."


    After she finished speaking, she passed a few more branches over, but with one look, Nn Ye¡¯s expression changed greatly. "What¡¯s this?"


    Luo Qing Luan answered smilingly. "Isn¡¯t this what you ate just now?"


    As she spoke, she ced the branch under her nose and smelled it. She breathed in deeply and said, "Mm hm, not bad. Barbecued centipede is indeed a delicious delicacy. These haven¡¯t been skinned. I don¡¯t know whether the Prince of Chu will still be able to swallow it down?"

    Chapter 60a: Facious Argument


    <h4></h4>


    Watching the darkish colored big centipede roasting above the wood fire, with countless numbers of tentacles, appearing sinister, Nn Ye suddenly felt like he wanted to vomit. Just now, he even thought that he was eating some iparably delicious food and didn¡¯t expect it to surprisingly be these disgusting bugs. Moreover, he even already swallowed it down!


    "Luo Qing Luan!"


    Nn Ye fiercely squeezed out one cold word at a time from between the gaps of his teeth. "You dare to nauseate this prince like that? You want to die?"


    He truly had the thought of grabbing this girl towards him again and give her a good beating on her behind.


    No one had ever dared to y such tricks on him before. She was practically ying with him in the palm of her hands! From the start, she clearly wanted to mess with him, yet assumed the appearance of a cute, lovable girl. He even thought that she genuinely wanted his promise and was properly making a culinary delicacy for him. He didn¡¯t expect that she was basically harboring evil designs!


    Luo Qing Luan nearly diedughing.


    Wasn¡¯t this loathsome man quite ferocious? Why was he so easily defeated this time? Very likely, he currently wanted to throw up, yet wasn¡¯t able to, right? Ah ha ha ha......she really wanted tough. How¡¯s the taste of getting sorted out by her?


    Although she felt quite delighted, she didn¡¯t reveal the least bit on her face. Instead, she casted a disdainful nce at Nn Ye as her lips opened slightly. "Turns out Your Lordship is someone who fails to understand a person¡¯s kindness? You¡¯ve really wasted my good intentions."


    "This is a deste area outside of the city, yet you insist on making things difficult for me, asking me to make gourmet food for you to eat. I racked my brains toe up with this dish, braving dangers and risking my life before I could find these few sky dragons. Without any salt or oil to cook with, I could only use some wild fruits for seasoning. In order to have you not misunderstand, I even especially gave you one with the shell ready peeled off, so that you could enjoy the tender meat inside. Does Your Lordship really think that I¡¯m bored with nothing to do and exists just to disgust you?"


    Half speaking truth and half lying, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression was slightly cold, an opposite to her previous helplessness. She looked at Nn Ye coldly, her eyes entirely filled with disappointment and regret. "I even truly thought that Your Lordship feared nothing in heaven or earth. But I didn¡¯t expect that you surprisingly only looked at the outer appearance of such a delicious delicacy and failed to appreciate it. Heh heh. Take it as me overestimating you, then!"


    A series of resentment and disdain reverberated in the dim light of night. Nn Ye heard her speaking serenely, but how could he not discern the indignance within those words? This bad girl, it¡¯s obvious she was messing with him, yet she even went as far sounding so dignified and righteous?


    With a coldugh, Nn Ye answered. "You imed that you cooked this food with meticulous care. Then how about you eat one while I look on? Even calling it a sky dragon? This clearly is a centipede, one of the five most poisonous animals in the world. Did you think that merely changing its name will change this fact? If something were to happen to me from eating it, then you should pay with your life......"


    Before he even finished speaking, Nn Ye froze in ce.


    He stared nkly as he watched Luo Qing Luan surprisingly truly take the centipede in her hand and ate it.


    Her lips opened then closed. Her pearly white teeth nibbled at the insect on the branch while tearing at it lightly. After that, she chewed it thoroughly. He couldn¡¯t perceive the least bit of disgust from her expression. She ate it so slowly, as if it was a supremely delicious delicacy. Moreover, she didn¡¯t hesitate in the slightest in finishing the chunk in her mouth. Very quickly, she finished eating the remaining half.


    "The taste is not bad. Even though there¡¯s no salt, this kind of sour and sweet taste also has a different kind of vor." After speaking softly, Luo Qing Luan lifted her eyes to look at Nn Ye, with disdain reflected in them. "I ate it, now what? Is there something else that Your Lordship want to say? Do you want to wait and see whether I will be poisoned to death?"


    Genuinely stunned in ce, Nn Ye was iparably shocked.


    He truly never thought that Luo Qing Luan actually would eat this kind thing!


    "You......" Eyebrows furrowed, he said in a deep voice. "In order to obtain my promise, you actually didn¡¯t hesitate to do this?"


    He revised his view of Luo Qing Luan again. With regards to her previous ims about why she hid herself, he also started believing in them more. If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of obtaining his promise to help her find out her mother¡¯s cause of death, why would the grand noble daughter of the General¡¯s Mansion need to eat this kind of disgusting thing to prove herself to him?


    It would seem that not only was she intelligent and forbearing, she was also ruthless towards herself. This kind of person, even though she¡¯s a girl, once she matured, she would make people amazed.


    He even thought that he was already well-rounded enough, who would¡¯ve imagined......


    Luo Qing Luanughed lightly as she shook her head. "I say, Your Lordship, you really overestimated yourself, haven¡¯t you? If I were not willing, do you think that I would disgust myself by eating this kind of inedible thing?"


    Taking a nce at the remaining two branches in her hand. These were the four sky dragons that she spent almost an hour of time to find with difficulty. It¡¯s too bad that the seasoning wasn¡¯tplete this time. These several finest things had truly been wasted. The sky dragons in this forest were both big and fat. If she could change to another location, she guaranteed that she could make a dish which was a hundred times more delicious.


    "Sky dragon can also be called a centipede, and a centipede is truly one of the five most poisonous animals there is. However, Your Lordship is obviously ignorant and inexperienced. A sky dragon isn¡¯t merely a poisonous insect. It¡¯s actually also a very good herbal medicine ingredient."


    Totally unlike most sheltered nobledies in general, Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t scared in the least. Instead, she spoke frankly with assurance, as if she was very familiar with the matter. "Not only is it able to clear inmmation and relieve pain, it can attack poison and suppress muscle spasm. Moreover, as for children¡¯s seizures, hemiplegia, and skin ulcers, its medicinal effect is also quite good. If you don¡¯t believe me, Your Lordship can also visit an herbal medicine shop yourself to ask. You¡¯ll find out that I haven¡¯t lied to you."


    Having known earlier that Luo Qing Luan had quite a gift of the gab, Nn Ye had a taste of her eloquence again.

    Chapter 60b: Facious Argument


    <h4></h4>


    He indeed knew that centipedes could be used medicinally, but what happened just now was so sudden that it was normal for him to feel disgusted. Yet Luo Qing Luan also ate one herself. This proved that what she said wasn¡¯t lying. From the way she ate, there wasn¡¯t the slightest bit of disgust revealed. On the contrary, she ate with keen interest and pleasure, so he understood that everything she said was true.


    Was it possible that he couldn¡¯t evenpare to a little girl? Would he actually be afraid of these things?


    Unconsciously, the anger in Nn Ye¡¯s heart faded away. In its ce was an unlimited amount of curiosity. No matter whether it was regarding Luo Qing Luan¡¯s courage, or her experience, or her knowledge with respect to medicine, he was extraordinarily surprised. His interest was aroused more intensely than ever.


    He had been thinking that he already understood her, but he didn¡¯t expect that each time he met her, she was able to bring him a new experience and feeling. How could he not involuntarily be fascinated by this kind of youngdy?


    A smiling expression subconsciously exposing itself by the side of his lips, the coldness and strictness on Nn Ye¡¯s face could no longer be maintained. He spoke with a gentle smile. "You, girl, why are you so full of facious arguments? So I still failed to live up to your good intentions, right?"


    Luo Qing Luan pouted her lips and rolled her eyes towards him while responding, "Is it possible that¡¯s not the case? "


    She looked up at the sky as if she truly had no alternative but to think so and sighed exaggeratedly. "Sigh, some people have not experienced much, but still insist on being opinionated. Such rare delicacies which other people don¡¯t have a chance to taste in their lifetime, even if they wanted to, was eaten by someone who even used me of messing with him. Tell me......"


    Looking at Nn Ye, she continued teasingly, "Isn¡¯t this kind of man as gutless as a mouse. Moreover, he even has the heart of a narrow-minded person?"


    She actually spoke of him this way?


    But not only was Nn Ye not angered, he evenughed. "This girl, what a glib tongue you have. I already agreed to help you, so I naturally wouldn¡¯t go back on my promise. You even say that I¡¯m narrow-minded. Do you really think that I¡¯ll revoke mymitment?"


    "If you want to revoke it then revoke it. Worsees to worse, Your Lordship will just be a vile character not just in name but in person, too, right?" Luo Qing Luan appeared totally indifferent and even wrinkled her nose at him.


    "Forget it. I won¡¯t bother to bicker with a little girl. It¡¯s beneath my dignity." As Nn Ye spoke, he looked at thest two branches in her hand, then raised his lips. "There are two left of your delicacies. What, are you going to eat them yourself, or throw them away?"


    After speaking for such a long time, Luo Qing Luan finally remembered that she hadn¡¯t finished eating the delicious food which she made with difficulty. She immediately replied, "I wouldn¡¯t throw away something I painstakingly made. You don¡¯t appreciate delicacies, but I won¡¯t squander them."


    After she finished speaking, she started to use her fingers and carefully tore apart the burnt and ck outer shell. Very quickly, the delicate meat inside was exposed. Feeling that it¡¯d turned somewhat cold, Luo Qing Luan sat by the side of the fire and heated it once more. Then, she even used the few remaining wild fruits to squeeze out their juice onto the meat. After that, she then ate it with pleasure.


    "Is it really delicious?" Nn Ye watched with a bit of puzzlement.


    "you already ate it just now, yet you still ask me?" Luo Qing Luan just rolled her eyes at him.


    With a frown, Nn Ye started to recall the vor from before. When he took the first bite, he didn¡¯t know it was an insect and felt that the taste was really pretty good, quite fresh and special. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have asked for more. But when he discovered what he was eating, his previous good impression and expectation immediately became disgust. How could he still want to eat?


    But Luo Qing Luan questioned him again. After careful consideration, Nn Ye had to admit that if he ignored his own psychological hurdle, this sky dragon¡¯s meat¡¯s vor was indeed not bad.


    "Some people are just groundlessly choosy. When they were unaware, they ate with relish and even felt that there wasn¡¯t enough, yet once they saw the outside appearance, they immediately changed. Your Lordship, you¡¯re ignorant and inexperienced, I don¡¯t me you. Back in those days, when my master made this dish for me to eat, the sight was even more frightening than tonight. If you were to see it, I¡¯m afraid you would have nightmares."


    She really looked down on him!


    With lightning speed, Nn Ye seized thest centipede that she was going to put in her mouth and said, "Then tell me, how frightening was it?"


    As if she deliberately wanted to scare him, Luo Qing Luan answered in deadly earnest. "It was winter at that time. Master and I were on a snowy mountain. He shot down a pheasant then buried its bloody carcass in the snowy ground. Those sky dragons smelled the blood and came. You won¡¯t believe that there were no less than several tens of sky dragons which attached themselves on the fowl¡¯s body. Each of them were as long as a foot, but Master¡¯s skill was better than mine. Each strip of de-shelled sky dragon meat was delicate, sparkling and translucent, much more sulent, tender, and tasty than shrimp or crab. Coupled with that pepper, salt, and chili and that vor......"


    Deliberately smacking her lips and licking her tongue, she appeared to be totally focusing on the vor. Watching, Nn Ye felt as if it happened to him.


    It¡¯s already out in the open, she wasn¡¯t messing with him at all. This insect¡¯s vor was indeed not bad. If the shell was removed and seasoning was added meticulously, he felt that it truly was even more delicious than the royal meals prepared by the imperial kitchen.


    As if he was reflecting again upon the vor from before, Nn Ye thought no more of it and threw thest sky dragon into his mouth. Originally, he merely bit down probingly, but that special crispness immediately made his misgivings vanish, following which he felt the soft and tender taste, which made him finish it without the slightest hesitation.


    "Mn, with your exnation, I actually am also able to ept it." With the psychological barrier eliminated, Nn Ye even had the notion of eating more. Mn, if time wasn¡¯t wasted just now. If the seasoning was moreplete, very likely, even eating a hundred more wouldn¡¯t be enough for him.


    With regards to Nn Ye having epted it so quickly, Luo Qing Luan was somewhat amazed, but after some thought, she also didn¡¯t feel it was strange.


    This dish was made directly by her. Aside from its external appearance, the vor was absolutely first-rate. It was too normal for big man like him able to ovee his dread and eat it.


    What Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t anticipate was that Nn Ye actually had her go and make some more. But she wasn¡¯t willing!


    She¡¯d already obtained his promise. What was she exhausting herself to be his cook for?


    She just casually said that there¡¯s no seasoning. Moreover, she wasn¡¯t able to catch any more. Luo Qing Luan had Nn Ye quickly send her home. She really didn¡¯t want to stay out the whole night.

    Chapter 61a: One After Another Suspicious Point From That Time


    <h4></h4>


    Quickly sending Luo Qing Luan back to her little courtyard, Nn Ye¡¯s dark robe fluttered as he stood on the rooftop while a strand of his voice was directed into her ear.


    "Tonight, I feel extremely pleased. I hope that Miss Luo will prepare a few more delicacies next time, so that I wouldn¡¯t have agreed to your request in vain."


    With a flutter of his sleeves, in a blink, his figure had already disappeared before her.


    "Humph, finally left." Frowning, at this very moment, Luo Qing Luan finally genuinely rxed.


    Being together with this man was very tiring. Not only did she have to be extremely mindful of whether he would mount a sneak attack, she even had to consider all kinds of things, not allowing him to see through her lies. She¡¯d interacted with him but for a few hours, yet it felt as if she¡¯d performed a hug surgical operation, both mentally and physically exhausted.


    However, in the end, there was also good news. Since Nn Ye agreed to her request, then it wouldn¡¯t be so impossible to find her mother¡¯s cause of death.


    Having rxed, Luo Qing Luan slept deeply, a dreamless night.


    ......


    During theing days, she was the same as before. Sometimes, she¡¯d slip away to see how Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s business was going. Sometimes, she brought Dai Yue to go eat out again. Sometimes, she also brought a new book she wrote to give to Boss Li, then wait for the first round of crazed sales.


    Within a month, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s savings of more than ten thousand taels very quickly became more than twenty thousand taels of silver.


    With a stable source of ie, she increasingly spared more attention to Wang Xue Ru. Not only did she inquire into her past, she also looked into the people by her side such as servants and maids, etc. She also thought of all kinds of ways to make indirect inquiries of Luo Cheng. She wanted to find out as much as possible about things rted to her mother.


    Even though Luo Cheng didn¡¯t like Luo Qing Luan much at all, he thought about how this daughter of his might very possibly be the crown prince consort soon, especially after the empress sent someone to notify them that she will personally visit the general¡¯s mansion next month. He gradually changed the way he looked at this second daughter of his.


    "Qing Luan, your mother already passed away for so many years now, so don¡¯t keep asking. You should properly get your zither music ready, understand?" Within the pavilion in the garden, Luo Cheng advised in a deep voice with hands behind his back. "Since Her Highness the Empress likes you and the crown prince also seems to care for you, you should grasp this opportunity firmly, understand? If you can be wed to the crown prince, then it¡¯s much better than being wed to Fifth Prince."


    Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t feel anything regarding Luo Cheng¡¯s change of attitude. "Father, I understand. Since you don¡¯t want to talk about it, I¡¯ll return to my room and y the zither."


    "You......" Luo Cheng¡¯s anger was in a knot.


    Ignoring the angry Luo Cheng entirely, Luo Qing Luan very quickly returned to her room.


    She wasn¡¯t able to gain much information about her mother from him, but she wasn¡¯t anxious at all. It¡¯s been so long, it could be assumed that Nn Ye probably should¡¯ve discovered something on his end. As a grand prince, capable people under him, various ministers and all other kinds of connections were not sources that she couldpare to. She should find a chance to talk to him. Perhaps she¡¯d then be able to obtain some clues.


    Just as she was thinking about this, Dai Yue came in carrying tea. She smiled when she saw her. "My Lady, the Master just sent someone to bring this here. He said it¡¯s for you to see if this tea can be used to serve Her Highness the Empress when shees to visit next month."


    After putting down the items in her hand, she became curious and blinked as the asked. "My Lady, do you think Her Highness will reallye? Is she especially noble and beautiful?"


    "What, Dai Yue, are you very curious?" Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but find it amusing.


    "But that¡¯s Her Highness the Empress, the mother of a country!" Dai Yue disyed an expression of exaggerated admiration. "My Lady, has Her Highness really taken a fancy to you and want you to be the crown prince consort? Will His Highness the Crown Prince alsoe at that time?"


    Of course Luo Qing Luan was well aware of the reason why the empress wanted to visit her. This originally was something that she nned meticulously, but her goal wasn¡¯t to be crown prince consort. On the contrary, it¡¯s for the sake of changing the empress¡¯ attitude, and redirect her attention towards another direction.


    But this affair is still early. She also didn¡¯t want to go practice some zither.


    She was getting ready to find a reason to look for Nn Ye, when her wet nurse, Nanny Song, came all of a sudden.


    "Wet Nurse, are you looking for me for some reason?" Luo Qing Luan promptly had her sit down.


    Even though Nanny Song was only considered a servant in the General¡¯s Mansion, in her heart, besides Dai Yue, Nanny Song was the only other person who was good to her. Nanny Song was getting on in age, so Luo Qing Luan was even considering whether she should give the elder money to retire and nurse her health at some point.


    Today¡¯s Nanny Song looked a bit abnormal. Even though its broad daylight, she was ncing furtively outside and hiding here and there. She looked all over the ce, as if afraid that someone will see her. When she entered their house and sat down, she then hemmed and hawed like she did in the past. Even when Luo Qing Luan asked her what¡¯s going on, she didn¡¯t know what to say, muttering something vaguely.


    Eyebrows slightly knitted, Luo Qing Luan was a little worried. Her wet nurse wasn¡¯t usually like this. Something must have happened. She had Dai Yue go outside and stand guard, not allowing anyone toe in. After that, she asked sternly, "Wet Nurse, only you and I are here now. Tell me what happened. No matter what happened, I will help you."


    Nanny Song was moved when hearing this, her mistress was still worried about her at this time, instead of about herself. No matter what, she¡¯ll disclose everything today.


    "My Lady, I¡¯ve watched you grow up for so many years. You¡¯re like my own child to me." Nanny Song pulled Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand, voice somewhat choking, "If the Madam is here and see how beautiful and clever you¡¯ve be, she will surely be gratified."


    Seeming to have sensed something, Luo Qing Luan nodded. "I know, even though Mother has passed away, I will still be well. Wet Nurse don¡¯t need to worry about me."


    "How can I not worry......" Nanny Song appeared anxious, grabbing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand tightly. "My Lady, you don¡¯t know. Ever since she heard Her Highness ising, the side madam, she......she¡¯s very unhappy."

 Chapter 61 part2

    Chapter 61b: One After Another Suspicious Point


    <h4></h4>


    Naturally understanding why Wang Xue Ru wouldn¡¯t be happy, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t particrly care and consoled her. "Don¡¯t mind her. If Father¡¯s Concubine causes trouble for you, just tell me and everything will be fine. I will help you."


    "No. That¡¯s not it."


    Seeing that Luo Qing Luan still didn¡¯t understand what she¡¯s trying to say, Nanny Song anxiously spilled the beans. "I¡¯m just afraid that the side madam, that she will harm you!"


    Her gaze turning chilly, Luo Qing Luan responded. "Wet Nurse, what have you heard?"


    Originallying with the intention of warning Luo Qing Luan, Nanny Song immediately answered. "My Lady, you don¡¯t know, the girl in the kitchen, Juan¡¯Er, is a bit close to me. Normally, she treats me pretty well. She identally told me that the side madam wanted......wanted her to poison your food!"


    And here she thought that it was some great scheme. Turned out that it¡¯s poison!


    Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t hold back her smile. "Wet Nurse, what are you worried about. Others may not know, but don¡¯t tell me that you still don¡¯t know of my ability? Don¡¯t mention some poisoned food. Even if Father¡¯s Concubine bought all of the poison in the capital, she can forget about seeding."


    Wang Xue Ru was but an ordinary woman. At most, she could buy some crane¡¯s red crown, arsenic powder, or whatnot. Even if she was able to find some rarely seen drugs, how could someone who had received training from the Ghost Doctor not be able to tell.


    However, after thinking about this, she still consoled Nanny Song. "Wet Nurse shouldn¡¯t worry, nothing will happen. If Father¡¯s Concubine want to harm me, then I¡¯ll just happen to find evidence to have Father drive her away. This woman is so malicious, it¡¯s better that Father stop her. That can also be considered taking revenge for my mother."


    This was also something that Luo Qing Luan only found outter on. During that time, before Luo Cheng married her mother, he already took in this concubine, Wang Xue Ru. It¡¯s just that her status at that time was but a concubine. Later on, her mother died, then Wang Xue Ru rose to the position of side madam.


    If it were not for this,why would a distinguished noble daughter like her be born after Luo Qing Shuang and be her younger sister!


    The primary wife had not given birth, yet as a concubine, Wang Xue Ru already gave birth to a daughter. One could well imagine her methods.


    After grinding her teeth a few times, Nanny Song finally spit it out. "My Lady, I came today also for the sake of telling you an even more important matter." Afterposing herself, he lowered her voice and said solemnly. "I suspect that the madam passing away from difficultbor was also something that the side madam caused."


    Even though she also suspected this early on, hearing Nanny Song personally say it still made Luo Qing Luan startled. "Wet Nurse, what did you say?"


    "Even though I didn¡¯t personally see it, recalling what happened at the time and also what happened afterwards, I truly feel that what killed the madam was the side madam."


    Very quickly, Nanny Song described the circumstances from that time all the way through.


    Even if fifteen years had already passed, when Luo Qing Luan listened, she still felt it to be as hair raising as before. Once she thought of how that woman gave up her own life to give birth to her, she couldn¡¯t help but tremble from head to foot. If it wasn¡¯t for her mother¡¯s effort and perseverance, she¡¯s afraid that she wouldn¡¯t have existed, and her mother wouldn¡¯t have died.


    "At the time, I was serving the madam all along. Clearly, her health was just fine up until a few days before her due date. Her Highness the Empress even especially had the imperial physician help examine the madam. He said that there¡¯s still half a month before she will give birth, but in merely three days, Madam felt the fetus move. Moreover, the circumstances were really too coincidental. The master already found a midwife early on, but Madam suddenly wanted to give birth. When we went to find that midwife, she unexpectedly already returned to visit her vige."


    Nanny Song spoke both anxiously and sadly, as keyed up as if the events were happening again. "Afterwards, we were truly at a loss for what to do. The master started to go to seek the imperial physician when at that moment, the side madam said instead that she could find midwife who helped her give birth. The master immediately had her send someone to invite......"


    Luo Qing Luan immediately spoke up. "I¡¯m afraid that there¡¯s a problem with that midwife."


    "When the madam was giving birth, that was already equivalent to passing the gates of hell. If there was someone who yed tricks, then that absolutely would be misfortune with no chance of fortune. If the matter was truly caused by Wang Xue Ru, then most likely, she made many preparations before her mother gave birth, only waiting until the time was right before striking.


    Nanny Song continued to speak. "Afterwards, I saw the midwife came, so I quickly went to help. Subsequently, Madam gave birth to you with difficulty. The master had just held you when Madam just......just......"


    "My mother just what?" She already knew of her mother¡¯s tragic demise, but no one had ever told her exactly how her mother passed away. Luo Qing Luan grabbed Nanny Song¡¯s hand tightly and said impatiently, "Did she eat something Wang Xue Ru give her, then died?"


    Nanny Song shook her head. "No. Madam was weak after birth and had no strength left. She couldn¡¯t even speak. I had just brought some soup over in order to steady her breath, but in the end......Madam suddenly hemorrhaged."


    As if what happened fifteen years ago was happening again at present, Nanny Song covered her face and painfully continued. "Madam bled incessantly. After that, a physician came and said that it¡¯s because the fetus wasn¡¯t in the right position, yet Madam forced herself to give birth. Originally, the master was just fine, but the physician said that Madam wouldn¡¯t have died if she didn¡¯t insist on having you, so one of the reasons the master didn¡¯t like youter on was because of this."


    Her heart iparably heavy, Luo Qing Luan finally knew roughly what happened at that time. But to find out whether her mother¡¯s death was caused by Wang Xue Ru, there were still many facts that she needed to rify.


    For example, did that midwife take any improper action. Also that physician. Did he have anything to do with Wang Xue Ru. Why would he say those things.


    She must investigate everything until the truth came to light.

 Chapter 62 part1

    Chapter 62a: The Clues Which Were Suddenly Discovered


    <h4></h4>


    Currently, the most important matter was to look into the midwife who helped her mother deliver and that physician. If the two of them were still alive, then that¡¯s best. Luo Qing Luan swore that no matter how hard their mouths were, she¡¯d still have a way to pry them open.


    Using what Nanny Song knew as the starting point, Luo Qing Luan was very disappointed to discover that the midwife already died.


    Even though she already anticipated this earlier on, when she learned this news, she still couldn¡¯t help but clenched her hands into fists.


    No matter whether this midwife died naturally of old age, or if she was put to death by someone under Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan would still be unable to find any clues from the former¡¯s body. As for the physician with thest name Zhang, he was simrly a senior over fifty years old. She heard that he moved away from the capital over five years ago and returned to his native county of Fengyang to retire.


    After spending over a thousand taels of silver to ask for information, that was the oue. Luo Qing Luan was very disappointed, but she wasn¡¯t discouraged at all. Since there was news, she would investigate to the very end. She already sent someone to inform Nn Ye. Since he already agreed to help her, he would not dy in sending someone to travel over five hundred kilometers towards Fengyang county to find the truth. She wanted to know whether this Physician Zhang was still alive or dead!


    At the same time that Luo Qing Luan was looking for information, Wang Xue Ru, who already had people keep tabs on Luo Qing Luan, naturally also perceptively received news.


    "What. That loathsome girl is actually looking into the matter from that year?"


    Unable to hold back from smashing the teacup in her hand, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s lovely face immediately turned malevolent, gnashing her teeth. "How did she know?"


    It had already been so many years. She¡¯d always hid everything so well. No one within the entire General¡¯s Mansion suspected her in any way whatsoever. All of Madam¡¯s previous servants and maids had already been disposed of by her, but she didn¡¯t expect that after so many years, Luo Qing Luan would actually start to look into this matter. Could it be that Luo Qing Luan suspected her mother to be killed by her?


    The thing done at the time was extremely well hidden. Besides a few trusted aides, no one else knew.


    Wang Xue Ru looked at Ziyu in front of her chillingly. "Have you said anything that you shouldn¡¯t have said?"


    Ziyu quickly kneeled down with a plop. "Spare me, Side Madam. Even if this servant had nerves of steel, I still wouldn¡¯t dare to betray you!"


    "I also presume that you wouldn¡¯t dare!" Fiercely pping the soft recliner, Wang Xue Ru ordered. "Send someone to follow that loathsome girl. No matter where she goes, who she meets, inform me without dy. If there¡¯s any mistake, don¡¯t me me for ignoringpassion!"


    "Yes, Side Madam!" Ziyu quickly obeyed.


    Just as she was about to send her away, Wang Xue Ru thought of something and immediately held her back. "Wait."


    This matter was of great importance, she couldn¡¯t help but be a bit more careful.


    What happened at that time absolutely could not be found out. Otherwise, not only her, even her daughter, who already became Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort, would be implicated. Once she thought of this, a murderous light shed through her eyes and she said darkly and coldly, "Go find the butler."


    It seemed she¡¯d need to make use of this kind of method. Otherwise, she¡¯s afraid the efforts she¡¯d put in for so many years would be ruined at the final stretch.


    ......


    Three dayster, Luo Qing Luan still did not receive any news from Nn Ye.


    Even though she was a bit anxious, she also knew things couldn¡¯t be rushed. The distance between the capital and Fengyang County was over five hundred kilometers. Even if a horse travelled at full speed, it would need two to three days to make the trip. Moreover, she didn¡¯t believe that Nn Ye would truly take her matter to be a priority. It was already good enough that he agreed to help, but to hope that he¡¯d take it seriously?


    "My Lady......" Just as she felt somewhat gloomy, Dai Yue came in, appearing to be very pleasantly surprised. "His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone here to invite you to attend an opera at his mansion. He also sent a lot of presents. You should quickly go see."


    Why¡¯s Nangong Qinging again? Luo Qing Luan was a bit gloomy and didn¡¯t want to go see him at all.


    She currently only wanted to find out the truth of her mother¡¯s matter, but during this recent month, Nangong Qing had always been looking for her. Thinking about his identity and in addition, Nangong Qing was indeed refined and courteous, she also felt that it was improper for her to reject him too severely, so she visited him once. She didn¡¯t expect that he actually misunderstood and became even more eagerly attentive.


    Since she didn¡¯t like him, it would appear that she should still reject him in a more straightforward manner!


    Seeing as Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t speak, Dai Yue smiled happily. "My Lady, what is it? Are you so happy that you¡¯re nking out?"


    Luo Qing Luan shook her head. This girl was too simple and didn¡¯t understand anything. She wouldn¡¯t understand even if it was exined. She replied emotionlessly. "Nothing. Is the messenger from the crown prince¡¯s mansion still here? If he left......"


    "Still here, still here!" Dai Yue thought that Luo Qing Luan agreed, so she answered excitedly. "I¡¯ll have him wait. I¡¯ll immediately pass on your reply to him. You want to ept the invitation, right? The master is receiving him out front!"


    Speechless for a time, Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t know whether she should knock on Dai Yue¡¯s skull to wake her up, and tell her that she didn¡¯t like the crown prince. After thinking some more, she figured it¡¯s better to just drop the subject. Even if Dai Yue understood, Luo Cheng would still have her go meet Nangong Qing.


    In Luo Cheng¡¯s mind, the only use for this daughter of his was to strengthen his position and honor. As for the affection between a father and a daughter, it already vanished like smoke when her mother passed away.


    After changing, she arrived at the anteroom. Sure enough, Luo Cheng was speaking with a middle aged man who looked like a butler. Once he saw her, he immediately smiled. "Qing Luan, look, His Highness the Crown Prince is truly considerate. Recently, a well known musical theatrical troupe arrived. This was Her Highness the Empress......oh, should be the previous empress, they were her favorite theatrical group among themon people. His Highness the Crown Prince especially sent someone toe wee you to go over there and see an opera. Aren¡¯t you happy?"

 Chapter 62 part2

    Chapter 62b: Clues Which Were Suddenly Discovered


    <h4></h4>


    Happy? She even felt bored senseless!


    What theatrical troupe or what not. Did he think that she was one of those sheltered noble women who never left the house nor ever took two steps beyond their own rooms, who had nothing to do but admire flowers and listen to music, and for whom only during special events would they y games such as recite poetry and strum the zither?


    Luo Qing Luan replied unenthusiastically, "Father, I¡¯m a bit tired. I don¡¯t want......"


    She hadn¡¯t finished speaking when that butler immediately responded. "Is Miss Luo feeling unwell? How about I return to His Highness¡¯ mansion and invite an imperial physician toe check your health?"


    With a twitch of her eyelid, Luo Qing Luan promptly answered. "Thank you, but there¡¯s no need."


    Frowning, Luo Cheng got up and spoke. "Since you¡¯re fine, then quickly go. His Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for you. Don¡¯t disappoint His Highness¡¯ good intention. Enjoy yourself a bit longer beforeing home."


    Although she didn¡¯t want to go out at all, it¡¯s still better than staying at home and seeing this profiteering face of Luo Cheng¡¯s. Luo Qing Luan brought Dai Yue and left with that butler. A luxurious carriage was stopped at the front door. Its walls were decorated with countlessplex ornamental designs as well as a symbol belonging to the imperial household. Some people stood in the distance to look. When they saw Luo Qing Luane out, each and every one of them pointed with quite a bit of envy and jealousy.


    After getting on the carriage, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s interest came to an end with Dai Yue not being aware of her state of mind at all. On the contrary, thetter was quite curious and excited about their impending visit to the Crown Prince¡¯s Mansion.


    "My Lady, how many times have you been there, was it fun? Is it very pretty?" Lifting the curtain at the side of the carriage, Dai Yue sized up the street excitedly as she spoke. Hearing the wheels roll on, observing the bustling streets, her little face smiled like a brilliant flower. "I also wonder whether the crown prince¡¯s mansion has good things to eat, or not. Last time, those pastries that you took me to eat were so tasty."


    "You. From what I can see, you¡¯d sell yourself for a little bit of food. Luo Qing Luan looked at her with feigned displeasure. This girl was good in every way, except for her gluttony.


    Dai Yue smiled embarrassingly. "No way, My Lady, I was merely......"


    While she was speaking, she suddenly stopped and stared at someone before asking, baffled, "Hey! My Lady, isn¡¯t that Nanny Song? Why is she here?"


    After hearing Dai Yue¡¯s words, Luo Qing Luan felt that something was fishy. Nanny Song was responsible for her daily meals. Shouldn¡¯t she be at home right now? She promptly leaned over and looked out. Sure enough, she saw Nanny Song walk anxiously, totally rushing while even bumping into someone, as if there¡¯s a pressing matter going on.


    "Something must¡¯ve happened with Wet Nurse. No good. I have to go ask." Saying so, Luo Qing Luan called for a stop.


    "Miss Luo, are you......"


    Not paying any attention to the butler from the crown prince¡¯s mansion at all, Luo Qing Luan lifted her skirts and jumped down. Raising her voice, she called out, "Wet Nurse!"


    Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Nanny Song first paused, then after she saw that familiar figure in front of her, she immediately became overjoyed and came over. "My Lady, it¡¯s great to see you. I was returning to the mansion to find you."


    Pulling Nanny Song¡¯s hand, Luo Qing Luan asked, "Wet Nurse, you¡¯re in such a rush. Did something happen?"


    After looking left and right, Nanny Song carefully lowered her voice and said a few words into Luo Qing Luan¡¯s ears. Once she heard, her eyes couldn¡¯t help but brighten. "What? You saw her niece? You recognized her?"


    She didn¡¯t expect that Wet Nurse surprisingly came out to look for someone. It seemed she secretly left the mansion. Otherwise, it¡¯s unlikely that even she wasn¡¯t aware of it. And what made her happy was that Wet Nurse surprisingly found the midwife who helped her mother deliver. Her niece was actually living in Qili Vige outside of the city. Wet Nurse was rushing back to tell her and didn¡¯t expect to meet her halfway.


    With this news, how could Luo Qing Luan still be in the mood to go visit Nangong Qing?


    She had Dai Yue quicklye down from the carriage and told the the butler to return and tell the crown prince that today, she had an emergency. She¡¯ll personally apologize to him on another day. She also didn¡¯t care how terrified the other person looked as she pulled Nanny Song along and left.


    When they arrived at a rtively quiet ce, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue return home first, then prepared to ask for news at Qili Vige with Nanny Song.


    "My Lady, you and Nanny Song are travelling so far away. What if the master......"


    Putting a stop to Dai Yue¡¯s worry, Luo Qing Luan replied sternly. "This matter is very important. Dai Yue, you go back and help me settle Father. Don¡¯t let him know where I went. In any case, people from the Crown Prince¡¯s Mansion won¡¯t being back. As long as you¡¯re careful, Father will only think that I¡¯m with the crown prince. Everything will be fine."


    "But My Lady....."


    "Alright now. Matters are urgent and I can¡¯t dy. You should go home right away. Remember, if somethinges up, help me deal with it for a bit." Without exining further, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue leave.


    It¡¯s merely between seven and nine o¡¯clock in the morning right now. It¡¯s still early. Although they needed to visit Qili Vige, as long as they left at once and everything went smoothly, they would be able to return before the sky turns dark. If that really won¡¯t work, worse came to worse, she¡¯ll have Luo Cheng think that the empress had summoned her into the pce. In any case, he wouldn¡¯t know, since she could casually fabricate some reasons.


    Having smoothly left through the northern gate, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t stop to rest and rushed towards Qili Vige along with Nanny Song.


    For most women in Western Chu, a distance of over ten kilometers was almost an impossible mission to aplish, but for Luo Qing Luan, it wasn¡¯t difficult at all. If Nanny Song wasn¡¯t so old and weak and needed to rest several times on the road, they probably would¡¯ve been able to cut down on their travel time even further.


    At about 1-3pm, Luo Qing Luan and Nanny Song finally arrived at Qili Vige.

 Chapter 63 part1

    Chapter 63a: Sudden Crisis


    <h4></h4>


    Qili Vige was quiet in the afternoon. Huge swaths of farnd could be seen by the road. Lush green wheat, all kinds of vegetables, also farmers busily working on their farms.


    As for a luxuriously dressed young girl like Luo Qing Luan, with a look, they could tell that she was born with a silver spoon. Each and everyone of these farmers forgot about their work and raised their heads and watched her in shock. As if they saw a deity, some people were entranced. An expression of being stunned was exposed on their faces.


    Simply sweeping her eyes a few times indifferently across them, Luo Qing Luan smiled towards the female farm workers they passed, but didn¡¯t speak. She looked at the sparsely scattered, simple and crude, wooden houses with tiled roofs in front of her. Each family of farmers had a little courtyard. Sometimes, the sound of pigs or sheep could be heard inside, along with the sound of children crying. Although they were not well-to-do, they still exuded their own special kind of style.


    She¡¯d never seen a ce like this before. Even though Luo Qing Luan found the experience to be novel, she wasn¡¯t in much of a mood to watch. Right now, she was only thinking about that family that Nanny Song talked about. If the midwife¡¯s niece didn¡¯t know about what happened during the birth, perhaps she knew how the midwife died, in which case, Luo Qing Luan would have some calctions.


    "Wet Nurse, where in the world does that Wang Cuihua, who you mentioned, live?" As Luo Qing Luan asked, she looked around everywhere.


    "She should be at the east side of the vige. When I asked about this before, I was told that there¡¯s a parasol tree in her family¡¯s courtyard. There¡¯s even a bird¡¯s nest in the tree. We should be able to find it." Nanny Song also looked around. She clearly didn¡¯t know the exact location.


    East side, parasol tree, bird¡¯s nest......


    After they passed a very high stack of rice crops, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shone as she pointed straight ahead. "Wet Nurse, look. Is this the ce?"


    Lifting her skirts, she skipped over. Because she was too anxious, Luo Qing Luan was unsteady for a moment and nearly stumbled. The news also came too suddenly today, Otherwise she would¡¯ve changed into men¡¯s clothing before leaving.


    At this time, she also could care less about these things as she stood in front of the mud wall surrounding the courtyard and looked at the parasol tree with the bird¡¯s nest at its peak.


    "My Lady. This should be the ce." Nanny Song spoke up and looked inside the courtyard. There was only a four to five year old little child squatting at the corner, as if looking at ants, or something. In regards to their arrival, that little child didn¡¯t notice at all. His eyes only fixated on the ground, lost in thought.


    "Little Brother, is there anyone at home?" Luo Qing Luan spoke a little louder.


    That little child continued to stare at the ground and didn¡¯t even raise his head, as if he didn¡¯t hear anything. Just when she was going to ask again, she saw that child lift his hand and grabbed something from the ground. Surprisingly, he threw it into his mouth. It was unknown whether he ate some bug or some mud.


    Luo Qing Luan was shocked and froze for a period of time before she yelled, "Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"


    There was finally a response from someone inside the house, as a female voice arrived to ask who was outside. The sound of her voice became increasingly clearer and in a blink, they saw a peasant woman with rough skin attired in coarse fabric with only a wood pin to keep her hair in ce. She walked out of the house and when she saw Luo Qing Luan and Nanny Song, she froze for a moment. After that, her gaze turned towards the little child and herplexion changed as she cried out in fear, "Ah¡ª-This child, how could you eat these random things again? Stand up and go back into the house!"


    "Wah¡ª¡ª" The child bawled, but his ear was pulled by this woman and he was dragged into the house by force, wailing loudly all the while.


    After a short period of time, the woman came out,plexion not too good, but she still walked to the courtyard door. With a faceful of mistrust, she looked at the Luo Qing Luan duo. "Are you......looking for someone?"


    "May I ask if this is where Wang Cuihua lives?" Nanny Song asked.


    "You are?" That woman became even more suspicious. She clearly didn¡¯t know these two people.


    Nanny Song was about to speak when Luo Qing Luan held her back and smiled. "Oh. It¡¯s like this. Our madam previously was looked after by Mama Zhang. She heard that Mama Zhang already passed away and missed her a lot, so she sent us to find her family. She wanted us to deliver a few things to express her kindness. I wonder if you¡¯re Mama Zhang¡¯s niece, Wang Cuihua?"


    Once that woman heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly. "That¡¯s right. That¡¯s right. Turns out you know my aunt? Your Madam......oh, pleasee in. Pleasee in." She promptly opened the door and called for the Luo Qing Luan duo toe in.


    She weed them inside her home passionately in a very embarrassed manner. She kept saying that her home is small and can¡¯tpare with those in the city. She even said that Luo Qing Luan is so beautiful, was she the madam¡¯s personal maid.


    Luo Qing Luan deliberately let her misunderstand and just nodded her head. She even took out the banknotes that she was carrying. Once that peasant woman saw that it was actually a hundred taels of silver, she immediately smiled, unable to close her mouth again. She wanted Luo Qing Luan to stay put while she went to heat some water in the kitchen.


    For the sake of the money, that woman was very enthusiastic. No matter what Luo Qing Luan asked, she didn¡¯t conceal anything at all. Not only did she sigh with sorrow that her paternal aunt died early, she even said that her aunt saved her and how poor their family was now and what not. She then enviously fawningly said that Luo Qing Luan was so blessed to be able to serve the madam. It was truly a blessing derived from cultivating for three lifetimes.


    "Mn. Therefore, our madam believes that if it wasn¡¯t for Mama Zhang helping her give birth back then, our family¡¯s young master would very likely have passed away during the difficult birth. Not long ago, she heard that Mama Zhang passed away and was disturbed, so she had use make a visit." Luo Qing Luan said faintly.


    After she finished speaking, she then took out a banknote worth fifty taels of silver. "From what I can see, your family is not having an easy time. This money is a bit of goodwill from our young master. You should take it."

    *Deep Bow*

 Chapter 63.2 - Sudden Crisis

    <h4>Chapter 63.2: Sudden Crisis</h4>


    ¡°Thank you. Your madam and young master are both kind people.¡± Wang Cuihua really couldn¡¯t remember which influential family¡¯s madam her aunt had helped in her lifetime as a midwife. In any case, having someone give money was a good thing. It would be a waste if she didn¡¯t ept it.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. How did Mama Zhang pass away?¡± Luo Qing Luan finally asked the main question for this trip.


    Wang Cuihua didn¡¯t conceal the truth in the least and straightforwardly said that a few years ago, her aunt died of illness.


    If she died of illness, it would seem that there¡¯s nothing suspicious about her cause of death. She should not have been killed by Wang Xue Ru. She then asked whether Wang Cuihua knew if her aunt had ever helped deliver a baby at the General¡¯s Mansion. Wang Cuihua shook her head quite awkwardly. ¡°This......youngdy, stories about my aunt¡¯s deliveries are not that great. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll dirty your ears. Moreover, Aunt also very rarely told me about these things.¡±


    She attempted to also make an indirect inquiry, but Wang Cuihua didn¡¯t know anything. Luo Qing Luan finally gave up.


    It would seem that this trail was useless. That midwife already died and all secrets had been buried along with her.


    Leaving the house feeling very disappointed, Luo Qing Luan appeared dispirited. Nanny Song also felt bad and didn¡¯t know what to say. She mumbled for some time and could only attempt tofort her. ¡°My Lady, forget it. Let¡¯s think of another way. We¡¯ll certainly be able to find the truth eventually.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan sighed. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I knew that it wouldn¡¯t be so simple. Forget it. Let¡¯s first go home.¡±


    There¡¯s still over two hours before the sky would darken. They needed to hurry. If they dyed, it¡¯s possible they will fail to return home before the sky darkened and will even miss the time the city gate closed.


    Even Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t anticipate that they¡¯d merely gone for about two kilometers and were passing a small forest when suddenly, they heard the sound of birds frantically fluttering away. It seemed that they¡¯d been startled.


    ¡°Someone¡¯s there!¡± This thought flit by as Luo Qing Luan was immediately on guard. They were outside the city. Not a lot of people wereing and going and now, not a trace of habitation were around them. So why were the birds frightened into flying away from the forest. If there was someone in the forest, then who might be passing by this ce at this time?


    ¡°Ah!¡± Nanny Song cried out in rm. Hearing this, Luo Qing Luan tensed.


    Because simultaneously, she also saw four masked people holding long des and were charging towards them.


    Assassins!


    Not good, run away quickly!


    Without thinking much, Luo Qing Luan pulled Nanny Song, turned around, and ran, but the two of them were unable to outrun the four masked people. In a blink, two among the four jumped vertically over their heads and immediately blocked the way.


    ¡°What are you guys up to?¡± Luo Qing Luan shouted in a deep voice as she pulled Nanny Song, whoseplexion changed drastically, towards her.


    ¡°Oh. This littledy is actually quite brazen and surprisingly still dared to ask!¡± One of the masked people spoke in a strange voice as he sized up Luo Qing Luan, following which he revealed a lewd and nefarious expression, clicking his tongue and smacking his lips.


    ¡°With one look and you know that we came for your lives. Quit with the nonsense and obediently allow us uncles to kill you so we can return afterpleting our mission. That way, you also won¡¯t suffer too much.¡± One of the masked men said, speaking directly and efficiently.


    Once Nanny Song heard this, she immediately stood in front to shield Luo Qing Luan. Although she was shivering, she still made herself speak. ¡°No way. I won¡¯t let you guys hurt my mistress. Do you guys know who my mistress is? If you offend a noble daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion......¡±


    ¡°Quit the f*cking nonsense. Not only do I know that this girl is the general¡¯s daughter, I even know that she¡¯s on the verge of bing the Crown Prince¡¯s consort. It¡¯s useless to say these superfluous things. Today, the two of you must die!¡±


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion darkened. ¡°You know all this, yet still dared to ept this job. Seems like you¡¯re tired of living? Murdering a rank two official¡¯s child, do you guys want your families executed and property confiscated?¡±


    The four masked people nked out, following which their leader coldly and gloomily said, ¡°Stop scaring us. As long as we kill you, not even gods or ghosts will know, don¡¯t mention your father, the general, even the emperor won¡¯t be able to find us.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan abruptly asked, ¡°It¡¯s my father¡¯s concubine who paid you guys, right?¡±


    ¡°You know......¡±


    That person was going to speak, but suddenly sensed something and shut up all at once andughed coldly. ¡°No need to ask so much. Business has business rules. We won¡¯t divulge information.¡±


    ¡°You want to kill us. My Wet Nurse and I don¡¯t even have the strength to truss a chicken and have no way of resisting. But before we pass away, we just want to be an enlightened ghost. As long as you say who paid you, I¡¯ll give you the one thousand taels banknote in my hand.¡± After she spoke, Luo Qing Luan took out the banknotes from her chest pocket and threw them over.


    Seeing banknotes raining down from the sky, the eyes of those four masked people shined. One of them stepped forward at lightning speed and grabbed a few of them. After that, he delivered them to their leader. Thetter thenughedcently. ¡°Little girl, you should give up. As long as we kill you, wouldn¡¯t these banknotes be ours all the same? You can forget about breaking up our customs.¡±


    After he spoke, his eyes darkened as he said coldly. ¡°Move! Kill the two of them!¡±

 Chapter 64.1 - Taxing Her Ingenuity

    <h4>Chapter 64.1: Taxing Her Ingenuity</h4>


    The assassination came too suddenly. Luo Qing Luan simply didn¡¯t anticipate that merelying out to make a few inquiries would surprisingly result in such circumstances.


    Even though she didn¡¯t practice martial arts, she¡¯d never allowed herself to be taken advantage of before. Although she encountered this crisis, she wasn¡¯t panicked in the slightest.


    ¡°Wet Nurse, run quickly.¡± She forcefully pushed Nanny Song.


    ¡°My Lady, quickly escape......¡± Nanny Song was pushed into a stumble. After she regained her footing, not only did she not run, she instead came over to pull Luo Qing Luan. Time was already pressing. With this dy, the three masked men charging at them were already nearly upon them. Eyes dense with killing intent, they already raised their swords.


    While assuming a very frightened expression, Luo Qing Luan screamed and took the opportunity to grab the dirt on the ground and threw it at the nearest person. At the same time, the silver needles she prepared ahead of time were already firmly grasped between her fingers. When the person to her left approached wanting to cut down Nanny Song, she turned and pulled Nanny Song behind her. The silver needles already rapidly inserted into the masked man¡¯s body.


    Caught off guard, that masked man simply didn¡¯t anticipate that Luo Qing Luan still had the courage to make a move and was suddenly already caught.


    He became rigid all over. The arm which he already lifted overhead was no longer able to chop down. He froze in midair just like that staring nkly. He looked both strange andical.


    Their leader standing behind him also looked on nkly. After he regained his wits, he stared at Luo Qing Luan. A meaningful light shed through his eyes. ¡°Wow. It truly never urred to me that this little girl surprisingly had this ability. However, do you think that you can escape by merely relying on this?¡±


    His gaze chilled as he fiercely red at another subordinate who was gaping, and berated. ¡°Idiot. Still not moving? Kill her!¡±


    That person who had dirt thrown over him was in a fluster as he wiped the dirt from his eyes. He yelled, totally exasperated. ¡°You b*tch, how dare you y tricks on me! Old Third, I want to personally take care of this b*tch. You go kill that old fart who still refuses to die.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan could care less about these few people who were threatening her like this, as she pulled Nanny Song and quickly ran away.


    She knew that relying on her and Nanny Song alone, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape no matter how. She didn¡¯t know whether those four masked men were hired by Wang Xue Ru. They were clearly vicious and merciless. She¡¯s afraid that today was going to be a disaster.


    ¡°Wet Nurse. Don¡¯t worry about me. You should run as far as possible. I¡¯ll stay to deal with them.¡± Considering the things which she always carried with her, Luo Qing Luan felt that it¡¯s not like she didn¡¯t have any chance of sess, but she had to first send Nanny Song away. Otherwise, once Wet Nurse was caught, she could only refrain from acting to protect the other.


    Nanny Song didn¡¯t know what Luo Qing Luan was thinking at all and her frenzied face turned white. ¡°No way, My Lady, I can¡¯t abandon you. If we¡¯re to die, we¡¯ll die together!¡±


    Luo Qing Luan felt helpless. Why was this wet nurse not listening to her!


    However, she didn¡¯t me Nanny Song and instead, felt profoundly moved. If her wet nurse didn¡¯t care about her, why would she stay to die together with her? Her wet nurse took care of her ever since she was little and had always been like a mother to her. The more she was like that, the more Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t let anything happen to her wet nurse.


    But although Luo Qing Luan could run faster than most women, when Nanny Song was factored into the equation, they couldn¡¯t even begin to bepared to a group of grown men. Moreover, their pursuers were three enemy fiends?


    ¡°Loathsome girl, why bother running!¡± The sound of chillingly cold and murderous evilughter arrived behind them.


    Luo Qing Luan suddenly stopped, turned around, and stood there shouting. ¡°Wait! Wait! I have something to say!¡± Without any other option, she could only make a gamble! She bet on the tiny hope that these people would be careless looking down on them as women and that they would be greedy.


    Sure enough, besides the first masked man, who she had needled, and was still standing frozen in his original spot, the other three already charged towards her. Without directly moving forward to kill her, one of themughed darkly, ¡°Little girl, what else do you want to say. When thingse to a head, you won¡¯t live even if you spoke a few more words.¡±


    The masked man who previously looked at Luo Qing Luan lustfullyughed even more excessively. ¡°Do you want to beg this uncle to exempt you from dying? If you obediently make this uncle happy, maybe I will be able to give you some ecstasy.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you guys act recklessly. You can¡¯t kill our mistress. If you want to kill, then kill me.¡± Nanny Song was so terrified, she trembled all over, but she still pushed Luo Qing Luan behind her, attempting to protect her.


    ¡°Wet Nurse, step aside. I have something to say.¡± Already taking advantage of the disorder to take out two poison pills, Luo Qing Luan pretended to gasp for breath as she pushed away Nanny Song and stood in front. Seeing two masked men approaching slowly, she said shyly, ¡°I......I know that you guys won¡¯t let us off, but......before facing death, I have a wish. Will you agree to it? I beg you......¡±


    ¡°You loathsome girl, are you wanting to trick us in some way?¡± Their leader was still somewhat suspicious. ¡°Just now, what trick did you y to paralyze my brother, and now you¡¯re up to something again. You think I¡¯ll believe you?¡±


    ¡°No, no, I really......¡±


    Looking at the people before her in a very frightened manner, Luo Qing Luan pulled Nanny Song and slowly retreated while saying timidly, ¡°I merely want to beg all of you to take a letter back to my father. No no. If you can¡¯t do that, then you can also help me send a verbal message.¡±


    Their leaderughed coldly. ¡°Death is at hand and you¡¯re still thinking of your father?¡±

 Chapter 64.2 - Taxing Her Ingenuity

    <h4>Chapter 64b: Taxing Her Ingenuity</h4>


    Luo Qing Luan lowered her head and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m just afraid......afraid that those things which I¡¯ve hidden, those jewels and jewelry which His Highness the Crown Prince normally gave me, and also some other valuables, will be taken away by Father¡¯s Concubine, so I want Father to put them away......¡±


    ¡°Jewels? You¡¯re saying the Crown Prince gave you lots of treasures?¡± Once he heard this, one of the masked men¡¯s eyes reddened with greed and impatiently asked for details, ¡°Hurry and speak. Where did you secretly hide them? If you hand them over, we can let this old woman go. But you can give up on yourself, you¡¯re dying for sure.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Luo Qing Luan seemed to be overjoyed at the turn of events and promptly responded, ¡°Good. Alright, I¡¯ll tell you. As long as you agree to let my wet nurse go......¡±


    Nanny Song was stupefied hearing this. She promptly opposed, ¡°No, My Lady, how can I watch you die, while I live?¡± It was unknown from where she summoned her courage, she bolstered herself and red at those people. ¡°You guys can kill me, but just let my mistress go, alright?¡±


    ¡°Wet Nurse, don¡¯t speak anymore. As long as you live, you can go back and tell my father to have him help me get to the bottom of who wanted to hurt me. You have to keep on living.¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s manner was totally of someone who¡¯s going to be separated in life and death. ¡°They¡¯ll kill me, but will spare you. Wet Nurse, remember, you return home and tell my father.¡±


    ¡°My Lady......¡± Nanny Song wept buckets, her old tears gushing.


    The masked men grew impatient and urged. ¡°What are you fainthearted women doing, you girl, hurry and say it, where did you put those jewels. It¡¯s best that you write a letter and we¡¯ll deliver it, so that we can fulfill your wish, otherwise, will cut you up slice by slice......¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Luo Qing Luan looked terrified. And exerted all of her strength to wave her hand, as if she was very scared that they would kill her, and promptly continued. ¡°I was afraid that Father¡¯s Concubine will find out that I secretly bought a small house. Even my father doesn¡¯t know. Those jewelry and precious jewels are at that little house.¡±


    Once they heard this, even that leader¡¯s heart beat faster and shouted, ¡°Hurry and speak, where is this ce?¡±


    Seeing that these three people were ensnared by step by step, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart remained steady while her expression was as flustered as before, as if rmed and scared that death is near at hand, yet she couldn¡¯t help but speak out. ¡°In that little house is hidden......all of the Crown, Crown Prince¡¯s and also my mother¡¯s......things which were given to me. They¡¯re worth at least seventy or eighty taels of silver......¡±


    ¡°That much!¡± Eximing in surprise, a masked man couldn¡¯t hold himself back and charged forward to grab her wrist and shouted, ¡°Where¡¯s that little house, speak!¡±


    Luo Qing Luan shook from head to toe and replied in fright, ¡°I¡¯ll speak, I¡¯ll speak! That little house is at......¡±


    Just when she observed those masked men staring fixedly at her,pletely forgetting themselves, her other hand pulled away the man¡¯s mask at lightning speed, and quickly pressed two upoints at his lower jaw. Taking advantage of the length of time when he couldn¡¯t help but open his mouth, in a sh, she stuffed the pill in her hand into his mouth.


    Such a lightning like period of time, the other two watched stunned.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s movements were just too fast, so fast that it was inconceivable. Where was her frightened appearance? She merely looked on coldly. In contrast to her previous panicky expression, there was even a sneer at the edge of her lips.


    The man who ate the pill grew rmed. He only felt something blocking his throat. He couldn¡¯t spit it out even if he wanted to. Just as he was about to talk, he suddenly covered his throat. A suffering expressionpletely covered his face.


    ¡°Ah......AH......¡± As if he was choking, he fell on the ground while struggling, turning over this way and that. Some dark liquid already started bubbling from his mouth. In the blink of an eye, his entire face already turned as ck as ink. It¡¯s been merely a few breaths of time, yet he had already stopped breathing.


    What deadly poison!


    The nearest masked man¡¯s expression changed. Without further thought, he charged at Luo Qing Luan with his sword raised. ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± As if he was facing a demon, he charged over, as if he wanted to chop off her delicate little neck with one swipe.


    Luo Qing Luan raised her hand and waved. Only a white powder could be seen to be sprinkled, yet that masked man, although he wore a mask, he also couldn¡¯t resist the ckout Powder. With but one breath, he already fell onto the ground.


    Believing that Luo Qing Luan killed two of his men instantly, the leader who was standing a bit farther became angry.


    They merely got a little careless, and surprisingly, a little girl dealt with two of them. Counting also the subordinate who had previously been paralyzed by her, four big men failed to even deal with a girl? Simply so angry, fury flooded his heart, he no longer cared about anything else, and his murderous spirit soared. He moved quickly and already jumped towards her.


    Not good!


    Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t really know martial arts, but she was able to feel his killing intent. The other person clearly will longer hold back and wanted to strike her dead on the spot.


    ¡°My Lady!¡±


    Just at this time, Nanny Song charged over regardless of anything and blocked the sword in front of her. That masked man¡¯s sword cut down. Following that, Nanny Song¡¯s back was split open, blood immediately sshed, gushing out. Nanny Song screamed, then was no longer stand and wobbled to the ground.


    Inside her mind, a bomb seemed to have exploded.


    Luo Qing Luan watched stupefied as Nanny Song fell in front of her. Although blood also sshed on her body, she didn¡¯t care about it at all and only cried out miserably, ¡°Wet Nurse¡ª¡ª¡±


    ¡°Quit yelling, loathsome girl, go die!¡± The masked man eximed chillingly as his sinister gaze turned towards her and the bloodstained sword in his hand shed down...

 Chapter 65.1 - Imminent Peril

    <h4>Chapter 65.1: Imminent Peril</h4>


    ¡°My Lady, hurry......hurry and run!¡± Nanny Song rigidly wrapped her arms around that masked man¡¯s leg even as her mouth overflowed with blood.


    ¡°You damned old hag. Get lost!¡± That masked man cursed, lifted his leg, and kicked Nanny Song away as his sword lifted and ferociously sliced at her back again. Nanny Song was no longer able to hold on and fell back down. After struggling a couple more times, she became motionless.


    ¡°Wet Nurse! Wet Nurse!¡± Luo Qing Luan felt as if her liver were cut to pieces when she saw this.


    Wet Nurse, her wet nurse......why, why would she encounter something like this? Staring nkly as the closest person to her died tragically before her eyes, yet she was unable to do anything about it. At this time, she hated herself even more for not practicing martial arts. She had a head full of medical knowledge, yet it wasn¡¯t of any use.


    The masked manughed evilly as he walked closer and closer. Seeing Luo Qing Luan standing there with a deathly paleplexion without running, he even thought that she¡¯d been scared stiff. Heughed coldly then lifted his sword again.


    ¡°If you have to me someone, then me yourself for having offended somebody. Even after you die, don¡¯t me me. For every debt, there is a debtor. You can ask Yama, King of Hell when you see him!¡± After fiercely uttering these words, the sword shined. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s gaze narrowed, as she did all she could to dodge, then immediately stabbed her killer with a needle.


    ¡°O......¡± That masked man paused, immediately noticing something. He reached towards his own body and pulled out a needle. It¡¯s precisely the needle that Luo Qing Luan had just stabbed with. His eyes immediately shed murderously as he said coldly, ¡°You dare to y tricks on me?¡±


    Not good. The other person surprisingly was able to block her needle from prating. It would seem that his skill wasn¡¯t simple.


    Without an opportunity to stick in her needles at close range, yet unable to fire them from afar because she had no internal force, she could only make use of a special technique to try with difficulty. Sure enough, she failed. This was not the time to be resigned and dejected. Without having to think, Luo Qing Luan turned around and ran.


    She wanted to keep on living. She wanted to take revenge for Nanny Song. She wanted to find the person behind the scenes!


    Rushing wildly with all her might, she simply didn¡¯t care whether the ground was uneven or not. Luo Qing Luan really was a bit faster than most girls, but in the end, she was no match for a man. Moreover, she was wearing a long skirt, which was absolutely inconvenient to run in. The sound of clothes moving behind her already distinctly entered her ears. That masked man was like a cat ying with a mouse. Neither fast nor slow, he followed behind her, gaining on her bit by bit. He deliberately wanted to watch her sorry figure get scared out of her wits.


    Stumbling, Luo Qing Luan fell down with a plop, following which her skirt was stepped on in ce by someone.


    ¡°B*tch, why don¡¯t you run. I want to see where you¡¯re going to run off to......eh......¡±


    He did not finish speaking when a strange voice was heard. The masked man¡¯s eyes suddenly popped out, as if he discovered something shocking. Luo Qing Luan was startled as she saw his figure tottering on the verge of copse, then fell down.


    Behind his shoulder was shockingly a bloody hole, horrible to see.


    Just when this masked man moaned painfully, in the distance, a burst of anxious voices arrived. Seven or eight stalwart men dressed as guards charged over and surrounded Luo Qing Luan as well as the masked man. The sound of another set of hoofs approached from afar very clearly and strikingly. Luo Qing Luan turned her head and saw a gant ck horse speeding along towards her. The figure on horseback became more and more distinct.


    Nn Ye!


    His appearance was pure and handsome, radiating an intensely cold aura all over. Rushing towards Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side, he dismounted with a strong and fluid motion, then tookrge strides to arrive before her. After surveying their surroundings, his expression became increasingly profound as he frowned. ¡°How did things turn out like this?¡±


    He actually came?


    Although Luo Qing Luan was very surprised, she also knew that she¡¯s safe now. Suddenly recalling something, she ran towards the direction where Nanny Song fell. Even if she already had a premonition, when Luo Qing Luan saw the wet nurse who brought her up already thoroughly ceased to breathe, she still couldn¡¯t help but turned ice-cold all over.


    For the sake of saving her, her wet nurse had been killed!


    Who in the world was the one who send these four people?


    The heart-stricken Luo Qing Luan found herself simply unable to shed tears. Right now, she only had one thought. She must find the person behind the scenes.


    Wet Nurse¡¯s matter was handled by Nn Ye¡¯s people. Luo Qing Luan did not say anything as she followed Nn Ye in returning to the capital. All along the road, no matter what Nn Ye asked, she did not open her mouth. She did not say why she left the city and also didn¡¯t say what kind of situation she encountered.


    There were two masked men who had not died. She would pry the truth from their mouths.


    ......


    Early evening whennterns were first lit, night fell. After Luo Qing Luan bathed herself and changed, she didn¡¯t return to the general¡¯s mansion in the end.


    This was the first time she came to the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion. If this was any other time, she probably would be in the mood to slowly appreciate the view, or provide criticize. But tonight, she only had one thought, quickly find the truth.


    The servant girl tasked with serving her went to call Nn Ye. In a short time, Nn Ye came.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been startled tonight. I already sent people to the general¡¯s mansion to tell your father that the empress kept you at the pce. There¡¯s no harm in not going home. If you¡¯re tired, you should have a good sleep. It¡¯ll be better tomorrow.¡± He even thought that Luo Qing Luan was worried about these matters. Once Nn Ye arrived, he consoled her.


    ¡°What about those two people?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked in a cold voice.


    ¡°What?¡± For a period of time, Nn Ye still had not reacted.


    As if her face was covered with ayer of frost, Luo Qing Luan articted each word slowly and deliberately, ¡°I asked you, what of the two people whom you brought back?¡±


    He even thought she was asking about something else. Turned out it¡¯s about this.


    He didn¡¯t think that she¡¯d worry about these matters. She¡¯s a girl, after all. Nn Ye also already knew that the elderlydy who died was her wet nurse. No matter how much Luo Qing Luan grieved or felt unwell, he could still understand.

 Chapter 65.2 - Imminent Peril

    <h4>Chapter 65.2: Imminent Peril</h4>


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad, my people are interrogating those two men. You don¡¯t need to bother with that matter. I will help you investigate into the matter.¡± After he finished speaking, Nn Ye instructed people to send over some food. It was still steaming. It was clear that he asked people to cook this very recently.


    ¡°Eat something first. Don¡¯t let yourself go hungry.¡± He softened his voice and appeared to be a bit gentle.


    Luo Qing Luan sat in front of the table facing the window. From the moment she returned until now, she basically had not said a single superfluous word. For someone who used to disy a gorgeous smile and was clever and eloquent, this her waspletely different. She seemed to have changed into someone else. There wasn¡¯t the slightest trace of a smile on her face. Instead a chilly coldness seemed to be emitted.


    He didn¡¯t know why, but seeing her like this, Nn Ye felt greatly distressed.


    This girl had always been lively and active. Even when he first saw her by the side of the pond, that pair of eyes were brimming quick-wit. Yet now......she was filled with sadness, deep hurt, grievance......he had never seen her like this before. She was simr to a kitten that was wounded. Radiating an aura of keeping people a thousand miles away, with no one capable of approaching.


    He¡¯s afraid she was already hungry, but just wasn¡¯t eating. Nn Ye sighed lightly as he pushed the bowl of food and chopsticks in front of Luo Qing Luan. He even picked up some vegetables and ced them into her bowl while telling her softly, ¡°I know that you don¡¯t feel very good, but dead people can not be revived. You need to be stronger. Listen to me and first eat something, alright?¡±


    Four or five different dishes were arranged on the table. With one look, it was clear that they were prepared with utmost care, but Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t have any appetite at all.


    As if the scene if her wet nurse being killed appeared before her again, and blood gushed from her body. She didn¡¯t care about anything else and only wrapped herself around that masked man¡¯s thigh, while telling her to run away quickly.


    Other than Dai Yue, her wet nurse was the only other person who treated her the best. From now on, she would no longer be able to see her.


    If it wasn¡¯t for her wet nurse helping her to investigate this matter, nothing would¡¯ve happened to her. Luo Qing Luan clenched her fists tightly. No matter who the enemy was, she must take revenge!


    ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Seeing Luo Qing Luan remain quiet for half the day, Nn Ye became more and more unsettled.


    He discovered that he had already started to care about this girl. This kind of feeling was very special.


    When he heard that she and her servant left the city today, he immediately sent someone to follow them. But afterwards, his heart became more and more restless. He kept feeling that something was going to happen, to the extent that he felt ill at ease and fidgety. Therefore, he set aside all matters and hastily rushed outside of the city.


    Fortunately......


    If it wasn¡¯t for his resolve, quite possibly, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to see this girl anymore.


    With a burst of both dness and lingering fear, even though Luo Qing Luan was already safe and sound before his eyes, Nn Ye was still as worried as before. Even though she wasn¡¯t injured, watching this appearance of hers, he¡¯s afraid that she had already been terrified. No matter how she ordinarily made trouble, in the end, she was just a girl. Once she encountered this kind of situation where her life was in danger, she would still be afraid in the end.


    Worried that she was starving, and also worried that she was traumatized, Nn Ye straightforwardly took the bowl and prepared to feed her.


    ¡°Your Highness!¡± Just at this moment, his subordinate pushed the door open and came in and spoke with hands cupped. ¡°Those two people won¡¯t confess no matter what. They¡¯re very tight lipped. Should we......¡±


    He did not finish, but Nn Ye understood that his subordinate came to ask for his instructions. Should they apply brutal torture, putting those special methods to use. After thinking about it, he was about to reply when Luo Qing Luan, who had been taciturn all along, stood up. ¡°Take me to see them.¡±


    ¡°This......¡± The subordinate didn¡¯t know how to answer and looked at Nn Ye awkwardly.


    ¡°What are you looking to see there. Those ces are not ces a girl should......¡±


    ¡°I said, I want to go!¡±


    Luo Qing Luan spoke coldly. Her tone of voice brooked no argument. ¡°Nn Ye, your people are unable to get an answer. I want to personally ask them.¡±


    Observing her cool yet resolute appearance, Nn Ye then discovered that he had been wrong. She wasn¡¯t scared at all, nor was she indecisive. There was only an unwavering, also a ruthless determination with shed by.


    He suddenly became curious. A girl like her, was it possible that she had some other way of questioning these two people via torture?


    Not refusing her anymore, Nn Ye got up while Luo Qing Luan silently followed behind him. In order to reach the prisoner¡¯s dungeon at the center of the prince¡¯s mansion, they walked through a passageway lined with torches and finally arrived at the torture chamber.


    Hanging on the walls were all kinds of instruments used for torture full of bloodstains which already turned dark brown. The air was densely permeated with a fishy and moldy stench. In the middle of the room, there was a burner with a raging fire inside. In the midst of the fire, a soldering iron was already glowing bright red.


    If an average person were here, don¡¯t mention if they were female, even if they were an adult man seeing these things, they would very likely feel uneasy all over. Those who were timid might even tremble, but Luo Qing Luan seemed as if she simply didn¡¯t see these instruments. Once she came in, she only fixed her gaze at the two people dressed in dark clothes tied to the pirs, already unmasked.


    Their appearances looked very ordinary, the type where nobody would pay attention to, if they were tossed within a crowd. It¡¯s just that the expression in their eyes was distinctly different, murderously cold and detached. There wasn¡¯t the slightest bit of human nature to be seen in them. Their foreheads were drenched in beads of sweat and bloodstains, yet they still clenched their teeth in a sneer.


    ¡°Your Highness!¡± Once they saw Nn Ye arrive, the subordinates within the torture chamber greeted him one after another.


    ¡°Step aside.¡± Nn Ye instructed them.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s gaze fell on thecerations present all over the bodies of those two dressed in ck, yet there wasn¡¯t any expression revealed on her face. There was no fear to be seen, nor was there nervousness or terror. What was present was merely normalcy and apathy, such that not a trace of warmth could be perceived, as if she was entirely devoid of emotion.


    This girl, was she for real?

 Chapter 66.1 - Luo Qing Luan’s Methods

    <h4>Chapter 66.1: Luo Qing Luan¡¯s Methods</h4>


    Nn Ye became increasingly curious. He thought that Luo Qing Luan would be scared after arriving at the torture chamber and didn¡¯t expect that she would be even more calm than him.


    Wearing a in white dress, without any cosmetics, she looked lucid, elegant, and solitary, entirely ipatible with everything belonging to this torture chamber. But Luo Qing Luanpletely ignored the gazes casted upon her from Nn Ye and the guards. Step by step, she moved forward and spoke emotionlessly, ¡°Who sent you to kill me?¡±


    Hearing the sweet-sounding and gently voice, those men dressed in ck appeared to have perceived the greatest mockery. With a ¡®phthew¡¯, they spat at her. ¡°B*tch, don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll be afraid of you guys just because you¡¯re torturing us. You want an answer? Dream on!¡±


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t speak. He only stood by the side, calmly watching what Luo Qing Luan was doing.


    He knew that she was unusual, full of craft and cunning, and also understood that she wasn¡¯t like an ordinary pampered, softhearted youngdy. However, as before, he still couldn¡¯t figure it out. If even his subordinates and their methods couldn¡¯t pry the truth open, what capability would a girl like her have to interrogate the facts out of these men.


    Perhaps she was unreconciled with the way her wet nurse died? If she wanted to vent her feelings, then it¡¯s up to her. As long as she could give vent, that¡¯s fine.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to make it hard on you.¡± At this time, Luo Qing Luan opened her mouth, her voice indifferent, not revealing what mood she was in. There also wasn¡¯t any unnecessary facial expression as she stood in front of that man dressed in ck. As for the countless bloodstains and sinister wounds on his body, they were totally ignored. She only very calmly said, ¡°You know, since you¡¯ve already fallen into our hands, it¡¯s impossible for you to live, but I can promise you that so long as you tell us who sent you to kill me, I can allow you to die without any pain at all.¡±


    ¡°Just you?¡± As if he heard something inconceivable, that leader nced at his equally cruel subordinate and burst outughing. ¡°Repulsive girl, business rules apply in business. Don¡¯t mention that we already received the customer¡¯s money. Even if we haven¡¯t, we still wouldn¡¯t break our rules. You can just give up.¡±


    ¡°Bahaha! Silly little girl, you¡¯re just talking big.¡± The face of the other man was also filled with disdain.


    ¡°Shut up!¡± A guard yelled loudly, then turned towards Nn Ye to say respectfully, ¡°Your Highness, these two people¡¯s bones are quite hard. From what I can see, how about we apply brutal torture......¡±


    ¡°No need. Just allow me.¡± Luo Qing Luan coldly interrupted him.


    Nn Ye waved his hand indicating that the guard should step aside and wait for Luo Qing Luan to handle everything.


    Moving another half step forward, Luo Qing Luan spoke as emotionlessly as before. ¡°Last chance. Are you going to talk or not?¡± As she spoke, she had already prepared a silver needle in her hand, as fine as soft hair, glinting in silvery light. It looked to have no deterrence force whatsoever.


    There was no sound at all. Those two people simply felt disinclined to even open their mouth and only red at her. The sides of their lips exposed a mocking expression.


    Suddenly, the light in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes changed as a sharp glint shed by. At lightning speed, she thrust the needle into the man dressed in ck before her, so fast that Nn Ye, who had been staring at her continually, wasn¡¯t able to see clearly. In but a blink, she withdrew her hand, as if she didn¡¯t do anything just now.


    ¡°Ughhhhhh......¡±


    At first, only a few stabs of pain were felt, not severe, as if ants were biting at him. But during the subsequent moments, the ensuing sensation made the man dressed in ck abruptly changed expression. Within his body, an intense pain attacked, distinctly different from the previous flogging, as if the skin and flesh all over his body, his blood, and even his bones, were all emitting the pain, so deep, so intense, that he couldn¡¯t even speak.


    Besides groaning, the man dressed in ck couldn¡¯t do anything.


    Surging cold sweat rolled down. In but a moment, his entire face turned malevolent. The pain was intolerable, as if he had been set ame, blood boiling, forcing their way into his head. His face was deathly pale from the prior painfulshing, yet this time it already became as red as blood. It seemed as if just touching it would cause blood to gush out.


    Struggling against the pain, the chains on his body nked against one another endlessly, but he had been securely tied to the pir, and couldn¡¯t budge. Besides howling and screaming, it was impossible to do anything else.


    The other man dressed in ck by his side watched with eyes bulging.


    This was his leader, one who ordinarily wouldn¡¯t even flinch when getting injured. Surprisingly, at the moment......


    A bout of the shivers sprung up involuntarily. He felt as if it was happening to him, and couldn¡¯t help but tremble. He snuck a nce at that youngdy dressed in white, who was as indifferent as before. She was so outstandingly beautiful and exquisite, appearing pure and refined within this torture chamber reeking of blood. However, he actually felt that she was like a demon, terrifying!


    ¡°You......you, what are you......¡± Shaking from head to toe as he trembled, this man dressed in ck was incapable of mustering confidence.


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly, and turned to look at him. ¡°He¡¯s not talking, how about you?¡±


    This slight smile should¡¯ve been sweet and charming, but looking at it made his scalp feel numb. He only hesitated for a moment before he heard Luo Qing Luan stated, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s no bother if you won¡¯t talk. I still have a lot of methods. Little by little, I¡¯ll have you taste them well.¡±


    As she spoke, it¡¯s unknown where she took out a package and continued emotionlessly. ¡°This drug, I think I should have you try it out properly. You certainly will like it very much. If you¡¯re unable to endure, it¡¯s best you confess. Naturally, if you don¡¯t speak, I still have plenty of drugs for you to slowly try.¡±


    Watching his leader letting out blood-curdling screams by his side, suffering so much that he directly fainted, he could no longer bear it and promptly eximed. ¡°I¡¯ll speak, I¡¯ll speak!¡±


    Nn Ye was surprised. So simple? It was so easy to make two dogged men open their mouths?


    But what he didn¡¯t anticipate was that Luo Qing Luan suddenly didn¡¯t let the matter drop. She walked before that man who was losing his mind out of fear, opened the paper packet in her hand, and very serenely stated. ¡°But I¡¯ve changed my mind now. You guys killed my wet nurse. I feel terrible. I want to take revenge for my wet nurse. Therefore, I can only find trouble with you.¡±

 Chapter 66.2 - Luo Qing Luan’s Methods

    <h4>Chapter 66.2: Luo Qing Luan¡¯s Methods</h4>


    Even though these words sounded very ordinary, as if there was no trace of any menace, but only she would know how much her heart was hurting at this very moment.


    She¡¯d always been someone who wouldn¡¯t convict anyone who didn¡¯tmit a crime. Even if someone didn¡¯t like her, as long as they didn¡¯t behave excessively, she wouldn¡¯t bother about them. But this time, she really could not ept it!


    She personally saw her wet nurse die miserably before her. If she didn¡¯t take revenge on her wet nurse¡¯s behalf, she wouldn¡¯t she be unworthy of her wet nurse¡¯s hardships in bringing her up? From the moment she was born, she lost her mother. It¡¯s her wet nurse who sheltered her. Without her wet nurse, she wouldn¡¯t exist now.


    Fury raging within her heart, Luo Qing Luan had never hated anyone like this before.


    With a wave of her hand, she spread all of the medicated powder in her hand on the man¡¯s body. His body was originally already bloody from theshing. Immediately, it was covered in the powdered drug which mixed with his blood. For a short period of time, that man¡¯s expression changed.


    It¡¯s just that, he didn¡¯t scream in pain. The expression on his face was very strange, so much so that he was even wearing a smiling expression.


    ¡°I......why do I......so itchy, SO ITCHY!¡± The man dressed in ck struggled endlessly, wanting to reach out to scratch himself, but his hands were tied and simply could not move. He was like a worm as he twisted and turned, desperately trying to scratch his back against the metal pir in an attempt to ease his difort a little.


    Gradually, his voice changed, brimming with a difficult to constrain suffering. Listening to this was horrifying. It warped unceasingly, while the expression on his face was weird and sinister. The seven or eight guards watching inside the torture chamber disyed great changes in their expression.


    Itch? Itching that was even so difficult to endure?


    They felt the suffering just thinking about it. This would absolutely be much more difficult to bear than pain. Not only these guards, even Nn Ye¡¯splexion darkened. His eyebrows knit together as he looked at Luo Qing Luan, as if he had just gotten to know another facet of hers.


    Following this, Luo Qing Luan picked up a longsword by the side and cut off the ropes binding him. He also had people remove the iron chains which were restraining him. That man was no longer able to stand it as he fell to the ground and scratched himself as if his life depended on it.


    Everyone watched as he scratched himself until he bled. Even though he scratched until he bled and scarred, until he scratched away his skin and flesh, so much so that some went as deep as to make his bones visible, he still didn¡¯t stop.


    Luo Qing Luan narrowed her eyes and gave voice. ¡°Give him a basin of water. Pour it on his body.¡±


    She walked to face the moaning leader dressed in ck, whose pain only ceased with great difficulty. Her appearance was as serene as before. ¡°It¡¯s your turn again. This time, are you speaking or not?¡±


    Quaking from head to toe, how could that leader be as arrogant and obstinate as before? He looked at Luo Qing Luan in rm, as if the pretty youngdy before him was actually a homicidal devil. He couldn¡¯t nod fast enough. ¡°I¡¯ll speak! I¡¯ll speak! We are assassins belonging to the Dark Blood League. It¡¯s the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s Luo Cheng¡¯s side madam who spent thirty thousand taels of silver to ask that we kill you!¡±


    Just as he finished speaking, he begged her again. ¡°I¡¯ve told you everything, I¡¯m begging you, don¡¯t torment me. Release me from my suffering, please?¡±


    ¡°Wang Xue Ru......¡± Sure enough, it¡¯s her.


    Luo Qing Luan muttered this name which she knew well and no longer bothered with anything else. She already obtained the answer she wanted. This should rify a lot of things for her.


    Even if the cause of her mother¡¯s death was still not certain, surely based on the surprising fact that Wang Xue Ru spent thirty thousand taels to have assassins take her life, merely this fact alone, provided her with a ny percent certainty. She knew that Wang Xue Ru could not be unrted to her mother¡¯s death.


    Looking at it from another point of view, even if Wang Xue Ru did not hurt her mother, as of now, her wet nurse died because of her. This enmity was something that she will slowly settle with Wang Xue Ru.


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan walk out, Nn Ye had his subordinates deal with those two people and immediately followed after her.


    Once more returning to the previous bedroom, he watched as Luo Qing Luan started to eat the already cold food on the table. Based on this, he knew that she already untied the knot in her heart. He immediately had people remove these dishes and cook some fresh food again. He watched Luo Qing Luan eating calmly. For a time, he wanted to ask something, or to console her, but Nn Ye felt that he didn¡¯t know what¡¯s best to say.


    Tonight, he again saw another facet of hers, cruelty and coldness which couldpare to those cold-blooded killers. But he didn¡¯t hate it at all, so much so that......he even couldn¡¯t help but birth a bit of tenderness towards her.


    If another girl her age were in her ce, very likely, she would¡¯ve already been scared into fainting early on? But Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t. Instead, she even used her own methods to make the assassins reveal the person behind the scenes. She was so staunch and unyielding,pletely unlike those delicately pretty, sheltered noble daughters. Nn Ye increasingly discovered that he was paying more and more attention to her.


    This youngdy who stood out from the masses, already started to make him feel moved.


    The second day. As before, Nn Ye didn¡¯t ask Luo Qing Luan to leave. The reason was, she¡¯d been excessively stimted. If she returned home and allowed Luo Cheng to discover something, how would that not rm her enemy, Wang Xue Ru?


    Observing the somewhat sullen young girl, Nn Ye stood in front of her with his hands sped behind his back. One finger pointed at the nice scenery around the courtyard, he said with a smile, ¡°Miss Luo, I¡¯m thinking for your sake. In any case, my mansion is plenty big, it¡¯s pleasantly quiet and secluded, and the view is also not bad. I don¡¯t mind having one more person around. Don¡¯t hesitate to stay here to rest for ten days or even two weeks. What do you think?¡±


    Standing by the door to the room, Luo Qing Luan was only three feet away from him, unable to leave properly even if she wanted to.


    What, this person still wanted to detain her?


    Ten days, half month? How could he have such nerve? Why not say that he¡¯ll have her stay here for a lifetime, and not go home, for goodness sake? Simply shameless!

 Chapter 67.1 - Murdering One’s Own Husband

    <h4>Chapter 67.1: Murdering One¡¯s Own Husband</h4>


    The little bit of gratefulness birthed towards Nn Ye, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.


    Luo Qing Luan frowned, and replied a bit indignantly, ¡°Nn Ye, I¡¯m grateful that you¡¯ve saved me, but I really should return home. Otherwise, my father will be worried.¡±


    ¡°Your father?¡± Nn Ye continued dully, ¡°Miss Luo, what your life has been like at the General¡¯s Mansion for the past ten plus years is something we¡¯re both well aware of. Your father simply won¡¯t care about you. Even if you don¡¯t go home for a lifetime, he still wouldn¡¯t mind.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan was just about to get angry, when she heard Nn Ye raise his hand and continue speaking. ¡°What¡¯s more, your father thought that you¡¯ve been retained by the empress. He is eager for you not toe home. I reckon, very possibly, he¡¯s even hoping that it¡¯s best if you always stayed in the pce, and that you might as well turn raw rice into cooked rice* with the crown prince......¡±


    *TN: Turn raw rice into cooked rice is amon saying in Chinese usually referring to something that¡¯s been done and can not be changed. For example, a couple having done the act and could no longer avoid getting married.)


    ¡°Nn Ye, you shut up!¡± She couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Luo Qing Luan raise her hand and pushed him. ¡°Get out of the way, I want to go home!¡±


    Not only did he not yield, Nn Ye stood firm instead. His gigantic body directly blocked most of the door to the room. The corners of his mouth raised into an expression that¡¯s a smile, yet not a smile. He looked on as Luo Qing Luan wished that she could kick him away in one move.


    ¡°You......¡±


    ¡°This prince only has good intentions. It¡¯s better for Miss Luo to remain here and recuperate well.¡± After he finished speaking, he did not waste any words and straightforwardly had two maids watch her. After that, he left.


    For three whole days, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t leave the room. Eating, drinking, relieving herself and sleeping were all done inside her room. Even though this room prepared for her was lovely and spacious, no matter how beautiful it was, as far as she was concerned, it was merely a golden cage. She¡¯d tried every method. The gentle approach, the tough stance, they were all useless.


    ¡°Miss Luo, please forgive this servant. If you ran off, His Highness will break our legs.¡± The servant girl named Yinxing disyed a totally pleading expression, only a bit short of kneeling down before her.


    ¡°Yes. His Highness treats you so well. Never before has His Highness valued any woman like this.¡± The other servant girl named Qingzhu also persistently persuade her. ¡°If word were to spread, I¡¯m afraid a lot of people will envy you, Miss Luo. Why would you insist on leaving.¡±


    ¡°You guys......you guys......¡±


    Looking at the two servant girls waiting upon her, Luo Qing Luan found it difficult to find words to express her own suffering.


    Although these two were docile and obedient, sending just about anything she requested, they just simply wouldn¡¯t allow her to leave the room. Moreover, from the start, they already told her that if she were to run away, at the very least, Nn Ye would break their legs. At worst, he would execute them. If it wasn¡¯t for her momentary softheartedness, Luo Qing Luan would¡¯ve secretly slipped away.


    ¡°Fine. You guys can leave. I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± Forck of a better option, she could only continue to stay in the room while incessantly cursing that Nn Ye.


    ¡°Detestable! Damn that Nn Ye. Where did you go off to. Not even your shadow is to be seen. If I see you, I¡¯ll make sure to properly sort you out......¡±


    She had not finished speaking when a familiar voice sounded. ¡°Turns out Miss Luo misses me so much? Looks like I should¡¯vee earlier.¡± Once she turned around, Luo Qing Luan saw a smiling faced Nn Ye. The side of his lips curved up. Looking at that ¡®bad boy¡¯ smiling expression made her teeth itch, wishing that she could p it away and see if he could still smile.


    This loathsome man, detaining her for a whole three days. She couldn¡¯t find him when she wanted to. He finally appeared now.


    Clenching her teeth, Luo Qing Luan red at him fiercely, already on the verge of flipping out. ¡°Where did you go?¡±


    Even though he had not seen her for three days, Nn Ye had never stopped receiving news about her. It¡¯s just that when he saw her appearance, that she had already recovered her former craftiness and unruliness, actingpletely unrestrained towards him, it seemed like the assassination did not leave behind any shadows on her at all. He felt relieved by no small amount.


    He truly didn¡¯t lock her up on purpose. He really was just worried.


    Even if he had done some investigations on her before, it was merely limited to what¡¯s on the surface. Only now did Nn Ye know that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s life was actually so dangerous. Not only did her own father, Luo Cheng, neglect her, her father¡¯s concubine, Wang Xue Ru, even wanted to kill her. As for anyone else in the shadows who might be hostile towards her, that¡¯s impossible to ount for.


    He didn¡¯t want Luo Qing Luan to return home gued with pain and hatred, else once the game was given away, it was very possible that those people harboring evil designs would be aware. If by chance he didn¡¯te to her rescue in time next time, if something really happened to her, it would truly be toote for him to regret.


    He didn¡¯t know whether it was during the first time he met her that a peculiar interest already arose in him, or if it started from that night when she cooked the special delicacy for him, or possibly......if it¡¯s really just everytime they came in contact when he increasingly realized that this girl was interesting, so much so that sometimes, he even thought about what she might be doing.


    Nn Ye had analyzed everything very logically before and came to the conclusion that he was somewhat fond of Luo Qing Luan.


    Was that how it was?


    He gave it some serious thought before when no one was around. If he was still not certain about his feelings, why not try to interact with her and see. If he already liked her, then there was no harm in continuing.


    After separating for three days, Nn Ye met Luo Qing Luan again. When he saw that she basically already recovered to her normal state, so much so that she even could get angry at him, his heart suddenly lightened up. That helped him be more aware of something.


    ¡°Are you very concerned with my whereabouts?¡± With his mind rxed, he spoke all the more freely. Nn Ye really wanted to y with her, and couldn¡¯t help but tease her.


    She really could care less where he went. It¡¯s just that......

 Chapter 68.2 - Promissory Note

    <h4>Chapter 68b: Promissory Note</h4>


    Regaining his senses, Nn Ye didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. Yesterday, thisss said that she was going to start a fire. He didn¡¯t expect that she would really do it. Someone as daring as her, who dared to set fire to his Prince¡¯s Mansion, probably couldn¡¯t be found in the entire capital......no, it should be the entire country of Western Chu. Besides her, there probably wasn¡¯t a second person, right?


    A moment ago, when he heard that there was a fire, Nn Ye¡¯s first reaction was to worry about her, but now, finding out that the fire was actually caused by her, besides feeling relieved, there was additionally a headacheing on. It seemed that obtaining this littless¡¯ heart would not be such an easy matter.


    Seeing that he wasn¡¯t speaking, with an expression that didn¡¯t look so good, Luo Qing Luan felt delight in his cmity as she walked towards him. She directed her raised eyebrows towards him and said, ¡°How¡¯s it, Nn Ye, does it look good? I¡¯ve already been benevolent enough. Last night, your people blocked me and wouldn¡¯t let me go home. I¡¯m helping you teach them a lesson. Now that the room¡¯s gone, there¡¯s no ce to live. Are you still going to force me to stay?¡±


    ¡°Believe it or not......¡±


    Chuckling, how could Nn Ye not tell that if he still continued to force her to stay, very possibly, it wouldn¡¯t be a few days before the entire Prince¡¯s Mansion would bepletely razed to the ground by her.


    He didn¡¯t care whether his house was burned down, but some secrets within this mansion could not be allowed to be discovered. It would seem that he lost this match.


    Even though he was already prepared to let Luo Qing Luan go home, Nn Ye didn¡¯t let his intention show on the surface. His expression was indifferent, an appearance of not caring at all. Turning around, he only said three words. ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Sauntering away, he walked in a calm andposed manner, as if he didn¡¯t see the room burning down into ruins.


    Within the mansion¡¯s rear garden, where no one was there, just as before, the thick smoke was visible in the sky. Even though it was shrinking, Nn Ye understood well that when he attended imperial court again, the Emperor would no doubt ask this and that. All of the officials would hear about it.


    Let¡¯s not worry about his first. He needed to take care of the matter in front of him before going further.


    Thisss truly made him feel both love and hate. He couldn¡¯t bear to hurt her, love......sigh, she seemed to hate him with a passion.


    ¡°Tell me, Nn Ye, what do you want? Are you nning to still ask me to stay here for a few more days?¡± Luo Qing Luan folded her arms as her dark and moist eyes brimmed with a smiling expression. Several days of gloominess had been swept clean. That shining expression on her face made her seem even more quick-witted and alluring. She was full of vitality.


    ¡°I know that you want to go home. Since you¡¯re so determined, then I won¡¯t hold you back. However......¡±


    ¡°However what?¡± She was quite pleased with herself. Looks like she should¡¯ve set the fire earlier, then she would¡¯ve been able to leave already.


    Nn Ye stood with hands sped behind his back, the edge of his lips disying a knowing smile. If other people were to see his former icy gloominess swept away from his originally handsome appearance, their jaws would drop.


    He was wearing all ck, with a jade buckle at his waist. His hair as ck as ink was bundled with a jasper crown at the top of his head. His build was tall and lofty, brimming with an intense masculine charm. He gazed at Luo Qing Luan, voice iparably gentle. ¡°Qing Luan, as long as you agree to a request of mine, then it¡¯s a deal, but a verbal agreement won¡¯t do. Once the agreement is put on paper, then I¡¯ll immediately let you go. How¡¯s that?¡±


    A request, and it even needed to be on paper? Once she heard this, Luo Qing Luan had a feeling that she was being schemed against.


    This man facing her looked cultured, but who didn¡¯t know that he was ice-cold and two-faced? During the past two days, he had been crazily changing at any moment. How could she tell if he was plotting something or not.


    It¡¯s just that, Luo Qing Luan had also thought about it. She couldn¡¯t figure out what Nn Ye could possibly do to her. Although she was a general¡¯s daughter, Luo Cheng simply didn¡¯t value her. She merely had a name, that¡¯s all. As for other aspects?


    Besides being somewhat favored recently by the empress, she didn¡¯t possess anything else. And this point wasn¡¯t worth Nn Ye nning anything against her, right?


    No matter what, let¡¯s just leave this Prince¡¯s Mansion first and leave these questions for another day. Luo Qing Luan pondered over it one more time, and finally replied. ¡°Fine. Fetch brush and paper. I¡¯ll just write it down for you.¡±


    Once Nn Ye put away the agreement personally penned by her, a light quickly shed through his eyes. He had someone send her off, then regained his normally coldly indifferent demeanor. It¡¯s just that, no one else but him knew just how delighted he was at the moment. It wouldn¡¯t be long until this littless will thoroughly belong to him.


    To be able to be together with her, mm hm, this feeling will surely be very good.


    ......


    She originally thought that when she returned home, Luo Cheng would give her quite a piece of his mind. Who would have thought, not only did he not yell at her, Luo Cheng instead praised her abundantly. Luo Qing Luan was totally speechless.


    ¡°Heh heh, Qing Luan, looks like Her Highness the Empress really is very fond of you. She surprisingly detained you at the pce for three days in a row.¡± Luo Cheng was quite pleased with himself. It looked like sooner orter, he¡¯s going to be the country¡¯s future father-inw. After more thought, he asked ambiguously, ¡°During these past few days, did the Crown Princee and see you? Did the two of you......¡±


    Luo Qing Luan impatiently broke him off. ¡°Father, I just came home and am very tired. Let me rest first, alright?¡±


    ¡°Tired? Didn¡¯t you stay in the pce just to chat with Her Highness? Why would you be......¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just tired, leave it be. Father, stop talking about it. In a couple of days, maybe the Empress wille visit our General¡¯s Mansion. Father, you should quickly have people go make preparations, properly clean the ce. Don¡¯t slight Her Highness.¡± After she finished speaking, she just pushed Luo Cheng out of the room without any trace of politeness.


    ¡°What? Her Highness ising in a few days?¡± Luo Cheng was ovee with joy, and could care less about asking after Luo Qing Luan, and promptly left to look for the steward.

 Chapter 69.1 - May His Majesty Bestow a Marriage Upon Me

    <h4>Chapter 69a: May His Majesty Bestow a Marriage Upon Me</h4>


    Before stepping into her courtyard, Dai Yue came out to wee her and said in relief: ¡°My Lady, you have finally returned.¡±


    ¡°Did anything happen at home during thest few days?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked as she walked.


    Originally, Dai Yue was curious and wanted to ask her mistress where she¡¯d been. She clearly left the city with Nanny Song, yet there was actually word from the pce that she had been summoned by the Empress. Dai Yue thought about it for several days, but still couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    But since Luo Qing Luan asked a question, she could only reply. ¡°That¡¯s right, My Lady, the remodel to our courtyard has already beenpleted. All furnishings have already been put in ce. I thought that since you haven¡¯t returned, but will certainly be unwilling to continue living at the eldestdy¡¯s Frosted Flower Courtyard, I took it upon myself to make the decision and had all of your personal belongings moved back.¡±


    ¡°My Lady, I haven¡¯t made a mistake, have I?¡± After she finished speaking, she even looked carefully at Luo Qing Luan.


    ¡°We can return already?¡± Luo Qing Luan was very happy. This was good news. She nodded. ¡°Not bad, Dai Yue, it¡¯s still better to go back and live there.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, My Lady, why have I not seen Nanny Song return with you?¡±


    Once she heard this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes chilled. The scene dripping with blood from a few days ago appeared in her mind again.


    During these few days at the Prince¡¯s Mansion, Nn Ye already told her that he made funeral arrangements for Nanny Song and had already buried her. But Luo Qing Luan had no way of telling her of this matter. She already knew that it was Wang Xue Ru who sent the assassins.


    Even though there¡¯s still no evidence, would she really just look on helplessly? Certainly not.


    Suppressing the grief in her heart with difficulty, Luo Qing Luan replied emotionlessly. ¡°Wet Nurse didn¡¯t feel too well, so I didn¡¯t have her return with me. I gave her some money for her to go back home and recuperate for a time, before doing anything else.¡±


    ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s like that.¡± Dai Yue didn¡¯t suspect in the slightest and nodded her head. ¡°Mn, Nanny Song¡¯s health really has been poor. She¡¯s getting old now, it¡¯s also good for her to take a break. My Lady is really good to her.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s my wet nurse, I¡¯m supposed to be good to her.¡± Not only this, Luo Qing Luan vowed to herself that she will surely not let Wang Xue Ru off.


    She basically didn¡¯t return to her room and directly walked to Graceful Orchid Courtyard.


    She was away for four days beforeing home. Even though she used the excuse of entering the pce to visit the empress, perhaps Wang Xue Ru might be skeptical and believe instead that she¡¯s actually already dead? If she were to meet Wang Xue Ru at this time, she wondered if thetter would be spooked through her own guilty conscience?


    Steady and collected, Luo Qing Luan quietly entered Graceful Orchid Courtyard. The door was open. Besides Luo Cheng, who just saw her in their grand hall, Graceful Orchid Courtyard¡¯s people still didn¡¯t know that she¡¯d returned. Looking up, the personal maid serving Wang Xe Ru, Ziyu, was walking this way while carrying a cup of soup. She suddenly saw a silhouette. When she saw that face clearly, she cried out in rm. The soup in her hand tumbled to the ground and shattered.


    ¡°Ah......¡±


    Ziyu was filled with panic, as if she¡¯d seen a ghost.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s white clothes fluttered about as she turned her head emotionlessly and nced at Ziyu, not saying a word as she entered the room.


    This nce caused Ziyu to nearly lose her soul. Didn¡¯t the side madam already arrange for assassins to get rid of the seconddy? She hadn¡¯t returned for several days already. She¡¯s clearly already dead, yet why suddenly now......her eyeballs rolled over and she fainted.


    Once Dai Yue saw this, she frowned in dissatisfaction. What¡¯s wrong with that maid serving the side madam? Her health was so poor and surprisingly fainted? Forget it, she was disinclined to care. In any case, she also didn¡¯t like this Ziyu. She¡¯d better just follow her own mistress.


    ¡°My Lady, wait for me.¡± Dai Yue quickly followed after. Inside the bright and clean room, Wang Xue Ru was sitting in the recliner. A servant girl was squatting by the side carefully applying color to her fingernails. Arranged on the tabletop were small gold cloisonne tes iid with white porcin enamel in flower designs. They were only asrge as the palm of a hand. In them were bright red balsam juices, blended with balsam paint from the capital¡¯s best cosmetics store. The reds were breathtaking.


    ¡°Madam, does this look good to you?¡± The servant girl retrieved the tools used for retouching and asked with a smile.


    ¡°Mm, looks alright to me. These certainly deserve to be tools from the Golden Branches Pavillion......¡± Just as she spoke, Wang Xue Ru saw some movement from the corner of her eyes. She casually turned to look. A young girl dressed entirely in white was standing in front of her, expression gloomy, face expressionless as she stared at her. Her eyes were filled with unconcealed hatred and it was as if she wanted to swallow her whole. Who else could it be but Luo Qing Luan?


    Wasn¡¯t she already dead?


    With this thought shing by, Wang Xue Ru suddenly thought of something, and herplexion changed greatly crying out in fear, ¡°Ah.....a ghost!¡±


    She frenziedly shrunk back on the recliner at once, waving and kicking all over the ce. The tea and balsam oil fingernail paint on the tabletop along with four or five little white porcin tes all fell and shattered, making a mess all over the floor.


    That servant girl who was kneeling on the ground didn¡¯t understand what¡¯s up and panicked as she promptly pulled the other, ¡°Madam, Madam, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°A ghost, ghost......don¡¯te over here!¡± Wang Xue Ru lost her head out of fear, now covered all over in tea and red balsam juice, but wasn¡¯t aware of it. She only stared at Luo Qing Luan in terror, as her hands waved randomly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you dead? Why are you looking for me? Hurry and leave......ghost, ghost!¡±


    Dai Yue watched with astonishment, puzzled yet didn¡¯t know what to make of it. Could it be that the side madam is sick and became crazy the moment she saw the young mistress?


    ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, I just returned from the pce, so came to pay my respects to you. Why are you saying that I¡¯m dead?¡± Finally, Luo Qing Luan opened her mouth and spoke faintly, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Father¡¯s Concubine did something shameful, otherwise, why are your words not making any sense?¡±

 Chapter 69.2 - May Your Majesty Bestow a Marriage Upon Me

    <h4>Chapter 69b: May Your Majesty Bestow a Marriage Upon Me</h4>


    ¡°You, you¡¯re not dead?¡± At longst, she finally realized that the person before her was not a ghost. Wang Xue Ru, whoseplexion was deathly white, incessantly stroked her heart.


    Luo Qing Luan looked very confused. ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, what are you saying? I¡¯m just fine, why would I die?¡±


    Just realizing that she¡¯d spoken wrongly, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s heart jumped wildly, while she promptly glossed it over. ¡°Oh, no, no, Father¡¯s Concubine was just baffled about how you¡¯ve returned so quickly? Didn¡¯t the empress summon you into the pce, why are you home at this time?¡±


    She was feeling quite delighted, but Luo Qing Luan only breathed out a little bit, that¡¯s all. She replied, ¡°Can it be that Father¡¯s Concubine don¡¯t want me to be home?¡±


    ¡°......¡± Pressed until she didn¡¯t know what she should say, Wang Xue Ru smiled with difficulty. ¡°How can that be. Qing Luan, you¡¯ve merely left for a few days and your father already mentioned you quite a few times in my presence. I also didn¡¯t know whether the Empress truly like you and whether she¡¯d want you to be the Crown Prince Consort.¡±


    ¡°Mn, parents are inmand, and it¡¯s up to the matchmaker to bring it up. As long as Father¡¯s willing, then as a daughter, I won¡¯tin.¡±


    After offering a few words, she really didn¡¯t want to see Wang Xue Ru¡¯s face anymore. Luo Qing Luan left Graceful Orchid Courtyard.


    Once she saw her walk away from the door, the smile on Wang Xue Ru¡¯s face instantly disappeared.


    ¡°Unexpectedly not dead......not dead!¡± One finger at a time, she clenched her hand, gnashing her teeth with hate.


    She clearly hired Dark Blood League¡¯s assassin, yet they surprisingly didn¡¯t get rid of this loathsome girl? Could it be that she really went to the Imperial Pce? Otherwise, how could she have avoided the attack from those assassins? Consider her lucky to have avoided death this time, but next time, she absolutely wouldn¡¯t let her off.


    Wang Xue Ru pped the table and shouted, ¡°Where¡¯s Ziyu, where did she go?¡±


    A servant quickly came in. ¡°Side Madam, Sister Ziyu fainted.¡±


    ¡°What? Useless thing!¡± She even wanted Ziyu to find someone to monitor Luo Qing Luan. The oue......after giving it some thought, Wang Xue Ru simply said, ¡°You go find the butler and have hime here. I have something to instruct him.¡±


    This time, she had to properly think of a n. However, it seemed that she¡¯d better first prevent Luo Qing Luan from marrying the Crown Prince, otherwise, if that girl¡¯s luck was good and she never left the house, maybe there wouldn¡¯t be a chance to find her alone to attack her. What¡¯s to be done if she directly got married to the Crown Prince.


    If that happened, that girl would have even more of a chance to investigate matters from the past, and she would be the one to be out of luck.


    ......


    In the night.


    Luo Qing Luan finally had time to carefully think things over. Matters which happened during the past few days were already enough to determine that Wang Xue Ru sent assassins to attack her and Wet Nurse. The goal was to prevent her from investigating matters from the past. From this, one could conclude that Wang Xue Ru was absolutely responsible for her mother¡¯s death. Even if she didn¡¯t harm her mother, because of Wet Nurse¡¯s death, Luo Qing Luan still wouldn¡¯t let Wang Xue Ru go.


    No need to investigate further. She already set her sights on Wang Xue Ru!


    She certainly will make Wang Xue Ru pay the proper price!


    It¡¯s just that Wang Xue Ru was the General Mansion¡¯s side madam after all. If she died rashly, Luo Cheng would investigate for sure. When that happened, not only would everything be aplete mess, maybe it would even implicate innocent people. Therefore, allowing her to die straightforwardly would be letting her off too lightly. The best revenge would be for her to live wishing that she¡¯d died.


    At present, she needed to first deal with another matter, the one having to do with the empress.


    Previously, Nn Ye used the empress to conceal her whereabouts for thest few days. She needed to properly take care of this matter first to avoid Wang Xue Ru discovering any loopholes. Moreover, if she could exploit this little rtionship, perhaps it¡¯s prove to be advantages for her. But at the same time, she needed to settle things on Nangong Qing¡¯s side properly. She certainly didn¡¯t want to truly be married to the crown prince.


    She had to quickly make the empress conceive. Otherwise, once thetter talked to the emperor and he issued an imperial edict, then the matter would be out of her hands.


    Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan decided to make a trip to the imperial pce tomorrow.


    Even though Luo Cheng felt it was strange for Luo Qing Luan to immediately visit the pce again when she barely returned from the ce, he still absolutely supported her in this matter. ¡°That¡¯s good. Qing Luan, you should properly apany Her Highness for a chat, but don¡¯t disappoint the affection that she has for you.¡±


    Right at the moment when Luo Qing Luan entered the Imperial Pce, Nn Ye was discussing politics with the Emperor of Western Chu.


    ¡°My dear subject Ye, do you mean that the country of Nanyue recently caused a series of disturbances at the border, but we actually shouldn¡¯t be afraid of this?¡± The Emperor asked, his eyebrows still somewhat unable to rx.


    Although a few years ago, that huge victory defeated Nanyue and directly changed the two country¡¯s position of power, the country of Nanyue was still a skinny camel that was bigger than a horse after all. Even though they¡¯d already declined nowadays, as before, they still shouldn¡¯t be taken lightly.


    Nn Ye answered, ¡°Your Majesty, please be at ease. Our Western Chu is filled with talented officers and our soldiers are great in number. If Nanyue really dares to invade our territory on arge scale, then we can take advantage of this opportunity to directly strike Nanyue off the history books. As for the rest of the countries, they will still have nothing to say. How¡¯s that not killing two birds with one stone?¡±


    ¡°Mm hm. With you here, We will be at ease. Ha haha......¡± The Emperor was finally a bit relieved.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I still have another matter which I¡¯d like to ask Your Majesty to be the judge of.¡±


    The Emperor was somewhat curious. Nn Ye had actually never taken the initiative to make any request of him. Even during that year when he defeated Nanyue, he also didn¡¯t request any reward in the slightest. Why was it that this time......he suddenly had a desire. The emperor smiled. ¡°My dear subject Ye, go ahead and speak directly.¡±


    Nn Ye cupped his hands and responded. ¡°Your Majesty, I have found someone after my own heart and would like to ask Your Majesty to bestow a marriage upon me.¡±

 Chapter 70.1 - Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl

    <h4>Chapter 70a: Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl</h4>


    He was truly extremely stunned for a long time. Western Chu¡¯s emperor stared at Nn Ye, suspecting whether he¡¯d heard wrong.


    ¡°My, my dear subject Ye......We haven¡¯t misheard, right?¡±


    The Emperor had never ever stuttered before. His eyes opened as wide as a ball. ¡°What did you say just now? I seemed to not have heard clearly. Will you repeat it again?¡±


    ¡°This humble servant would like to ask Your Majesty to bestow a marriage upon me.¡± Nn Ye repeated himself once again.


    The was the best method that he could think of to enable him and Luo Qing Luan to be together. As long as the Emperor issued an imperial decree, no one would be able to block it. Even if that littless didn¡¯t like him, it¡¯s still useless.


    Moreover, he had the confidence that as long as there¡¯s more time, she would naturally understand what¡¯s good about him.


    As for Nangong Qing......although Nangong Qing was the Crown Prince, and could even be considered his friend, Nn Ye lived by the creed that as long as he fancied someone, he would exhaust every possible method in order to win them. Moreover, this was the first woman that he wholeheartedly fell in love with. He could not miss this opportunity.


    The Emperor finally heard clearly and immediatelyughed out loud, imperial countenance greatly pleased. ¡°My dear subject Ye actually has someone he likes. This is truly rare. We wonder which family¡¯s daughter has this blessing to be fancied by you? Tell Us, We will surely bestow marriage on your behalf.¡±


    And at this moment, in a bright courtyard within the pce, Luo Qing Luan was conversing with the Empress. She was putting in great effort in order to be able to extricate herself from the possibility of marrying the Crown Prince. She didn¡¯t have a clue that her own fate had already been secretly changed.


    Having heard what Luo Qing Luan said, the Empress, who originally fully intended to speak on the Crown Prince¡¯s behalf, found her attention diverted. She couldn¡¯t help but be both surprised and delighted. ¡°Qing Luan, is what you¡¯re saying real?¡±


    ¡°How can I dare to fool Your Highness. These words were indeed all spoken by my master.¡± Luo Qing Luan withdrew the hand she was using to take the Empress¡¯ pulse and smiled faintly. ¡°Although Your Highness has never been pregnant before, that absolutely doesn¡¯t mean that you can¡¯t have children. My master and I have discussed Your Highness¡¯ condition and Master said that if she tried her hand, there should be a three in ten chance of sess.¡±


    ¡°Three tenths?¡± Empress Wang¡¯s joy was only lessened a little before she immediatelyughed again. ¡°Good. Good. I¡¯m willing to have your Master try. I wonder when she can start? Do we need to first receive your master into the imperial pce before we speak further?¡±


    Although there was no absolute certainty,pared to what the imperial physicians told her previously, that she won¡¯t be able to have a child in this lifetime, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s master¡¯s thirty percent chance still gave her unlimited hope.


    No matter what, even if there was only a slight possibility, she still wouldn¡¯t let it go.


    Who among the women from the inner pce didn¡¯t hope to have their own child? Don¡¯t mention a prince. Even if they could birth a princess, the second half of their life would still be hopeful, certainly better than turning old and fading away, better than a lifetime of solitude and loneliness.


    As for Nangong Qing? Although he was raised under her name, when all was said and done, he wasn¡¯t her biological child. She still hoped that she could have her own flesh and blood.


    Very satisfied with Empress Wang¡¯s attitude and eagerness, Luo Qing Luan hesitated, and appeared a little rmed as she replied. ¡°There¡¯s something Your Highness doesn¡¯t know, my master......her personality is a little strange. I already informed Your Highnessst time. When my master examines a patient, not only does she not want anyone there at all, I¡¯m afraid even Your Highness will need to personally visit her before my master will be able to......¡±


    Knitting her eyebrows, Empress Wang nodded. ¡°As long as your master truly improves my health, when I have my child, I will certainly reward her handsomely. Qing Luan, return first to tell your master that I will find an excuse to first tell His Majesty. In at most three days, I will go visit the general¡¯s mansion.¡±


    Seeding without a hitch, Luo Qing Luan nodded her head and replied. ¡°Yes, Your Highness, I will immediately return to tell Master. Please be at ease, Your Highness, there absolutely won¡¯t be a fourth person who will know of this matter.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan had just departed for a short time when Nangong Qing came in. ¡°Imperial Mother, I came to pay respects to you.¡± Nangong Qing said deferentially.


    In a good mood, Empress Wang smiled and called out to him. ¡°Come here, but don¡¯t be disappointed. Qing Luan just left.¡±


    He indeed heard that Luo Qing Luan entered the pce. Nangong Qing had not seen her for many days. Last time, he invited her to his mansionst time, but something came up when she was on her way and she never came. He even thought that he¡¯d be able to encounter her beautiful tracks today. Who knew he still came one stepte.


    Seeing Nangong Qing¡¯spletely disappointed appearance, Empress Wang was certain that he liked Luo Qing Luan. If this was a normal time, she would¡¯ve had a good chat with Nangong Qing. But now, she urgently left to advise the emperor of her need to leave the pce. She wasn¡¯t in the mood for anything else, therefore, she then called the pce maids to help her change.


    ¡°Imperial Mother, didn¡¯t you say before that you¡¯ll help me choose my consort, I wonder......¡± Nangong Qing asked probingly.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already met them all. I feel that among all of the important officials¡¯ daughters, there are only two suitable candidates.¡± After she finished changing, the empress continued, ¡°One is the Marquis of Xuanping¡¯s youngest daughter, Yuchi Lianqing. Her appearance is dignified and beautiful. She is a woman of virtue and talent. I like her quite a bit. The second one is the noble born daughter from the general¡¯s mansion, Luo Qing Luan. I¡¯m also deeply moved by her.¡±


    Watching Nangong Qing, Empress Wang asked him. ¡°It¡¯s just, I wonder who my imperial son favors?¡±


    Without waiting for Nangong Qing to answer, Empress Wang already walked towards the pce exit. ¡°That¡¯s right, Imperial Mother needs to go see your Imperial Father for something. You should go back and think about first about girl you actually like and inform me next time. I¡¯ll then go look for your Imperial Father so that he can issue an imperial decree on your behalf. How¡¯s that?¡±


    Nangong Qing cupped his hands happily. ¡°Thank you, Imperial Mother.¡±


    After leaving the pce, Nangong Qing immediately visited the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion. He wanted to tell Nn Ye of this matter.

 Chapter 70.2 - Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl

    <h4>Chapter 70b: Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl</h4>


    Having just obtained the Emperor¡¯s consent to bestow marriage upon him, Nn Ye also just returned home when he found out Nangong Qing came. In a rare moment, he was in the mood to have the kitchen make some food to apany wine, preparing to have a proper drink.


    Within the beautiful pavillion, quite a few cups of wine and apanying dishes were disyed. Keepingpany in the colorful scene were two people whose moods were simrly good. It was rare to see Nn Ye not ice-cold like he usually was. Nangong Qing was a bit surprised and couldn¡¯t help but teasingly say, ¡°Ziqing, did you already find out about my matters, that¡¯s why you¡¯re happy on my behalf?¡±


    Nangong Qing was actually very clear about Nn Ye¡¯s news channels. As long as he wanted, Nn Ye could even find out exactly which concubine each of the court officials slept with the night before, or how many articles of clothing they were wearing.


    And as for the matter of him choosing a Crown Prince Consort, that¡¯s too well known. It wouldn¡¯t be strange even if he Nn Ye knew that he liked Luo Qing Luan and hoped that his imperial father will issue an imperial decree as soon as possible.


    Downing a cup of amber wine in one gulp, Nn Ye said indifferently, ¡°What, is your big daying soon?¡±


    So happy that he simply could not hide it anymore, while Nn Ye was the best target for sharing, Nangong Qing immediately said, ¡°Ziqing, I¡¯m telling you. Just now, I met with Imperial Mother. She indeed also likes Luo Qing Luan and even said that she¡¯ll meet with Imperial Father to bestow marriage upon me.¡± Thinking about how he¡¯d very quickly be able to marry the woman he loved, Nangong Qing¡¯s face disyed an intoxicating smile. Sighing, he continued, ¡°I¡¯ve never thought before that one day, I¡¯ll actually be able to marry a girl who I really love. Miss Luo, she¡¯s truly a virtuous and gentle, pure and righteous. To be able to be herpanion in this lifetime is really the happiest thing in my life.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Nn Ye only answered casually, without any facial expression whatsoever.


    After saying a few more things, Nangong Qing finally noticed that Nn Ye¡¯s unusualness. He clearly was still smiling somewhat just now. Why was he gloomy again right now? ¡°Ziqing, you¡¯re not worried about something you?¡±


    ¡°Look, do I look like someone who¡¯s worried?¡± Nn Ye asked a question in reply.


    ¡°However......¡±


    Frowning, Nangong Qing put the wine cup down and continued sternly, ¡°Ziqing, we¡¯re close friends, if something¡¯s on your mind, don¡¯t hesitate to tell me. If I can help, I definitely won¡¯t hold back, but has something happened with your Dark Night Hall?¡±


    A mocking smiling expression shed through Nn Ye¡¯s face. He replied coldly, ¡°Nangong Qing, there¡¯s nothing wrong with my Dark Night Hall. Rather, it¡¯s your circumstances. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s somewhat far from good.¡±


    This fellow wanted to fight over his woman?


    Anything else could be discussed, except for this matter. He surely wouldn¡¯t allow it. Thatss could only be his. He certainly wouldn¡¯t let off anyone who wanted to touch her. If he didn¡¯t consider the fact that the two of them had known each other for many years, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t stay his hand.


    Having always regarded Nn Ye as an oracle. Such shocking wordsing from his mouth made all of the excitement in Nangong Qing¡¯s heart immediately dissipate into nothingness. His eyebrows creased as he said in a heavy voice. ¡°Ziqing, tell me. How is my circumstances far from good?¡±


    Could it be that Nn Ye had discovered something that he wasn¡¯t aware of? Once he thought of this, Nangong Qing felt a little worried.


    Casting him a cold and detached nce, Nn Ye answered. ¡°Do you think that marrying the Luo family¡¯s second daughter is such an easy matter? The tone of his voice was heavy, without the slightestck of seriousness, as if once Nangong Qing dered his cherished desire, he would face imminent disaster.


    ¡°Ziqing, it turns out you¡¯re talking about this matter?¡± Once Nangong Qing heard this, the worry which filled his heart immediately disappeared. He waved his hand indicating it¡¯s nothing and continued, ¡°I even thought you are talking about something else. If it¡¯s this matter, then you can rx, with Imperial Mother stepping forward, there certainly won¡¯t be a problem. Miss Luo......¡±


    ¡°Looks like you really don¡¯t understand a lot of things.¡± Nn Ye interrupted him.


    ¡°Do you know something?¡± Nangong Qing asked.


    Being warned again and again, Nangong Qing finally felt that something wasn¡¯t right. Nn Ye had always been his assistant. The two were also close friends. The other absolutely wouldn¡¯t scare him for no rhyme or reason


    ¡°I¡¯m asking you, have you ever considered what the consequences will be once you formally proposed to marry Luo Qing Luan as your consort?¡± Nn Ye asked.


    ¡°Consequences......I seem to feel there isn¡¯t any consequence.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve forgotten about Nangong Chen, the Fifth Prince?¡± Nn Ye captured his attention one word at a time.


    Nangong Qing finally thought of this matter. Not long ago, his fifth brother had just cancelled their fifteen year long engagement and turned to marrying her elder sister, Luo Qing Shuang. If he were to propose marrying Luo Qing Luan at this juncture, then what would Nangong Chen think?


    In the past, he didn¡¯t consider this at all. Having been reminded by Nn Ye, he seemed to understand something. But after careful consideration, he still felt that there¡¯s nothing wrong, somewhat unable to figure out what in the world was the matter.


    ¡°To tell you the truth, based upon thetest news I¡¯ve received, our Fifth Prince is indeed quite the casanova. In the past, he cancelled his and Luo Qing Luan¡¯s engagement, because he¡¯s always thought that she was very ugly. Now that he knows her true appearance, his heart has already been moved for some time, and he¡¯s prepared to secretly tell his father-inw that he¡¯d like to marry Luo Qing Luan as his main consort.¡±


    After a series of smooth sounding nonsense, Nangong Qing listened with huge changes in hisplexion. ¡°What, Fifth Brother actually still wants to marry Miss Luo? Hasn¡¯t he already taken the sister to be his side consort?¡±


    Nn Ye smiled coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know what kind of personality Nangong Chen has? He even itches to take thosedies from Immortal Dream Pavilion to be his concubines, Luo Qing Luan is so remarkably beautiful, what¡¯s so strange about him taking a fancy to her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid you still don¡¯t know. Nangong Chen already spoke to Luo Cheng about it. Moreover, Luo Cheng already agreed to this marriage.¡±


    Once he heard this, Nangong Qing pped the table and shouted angrily. ¡°He dares!¡±

 Chapter 71.1 - Trick Someone At No Cost

    <h4>Chapter 71a: Trick Someone At No Cost</h4>


    ¡°Whether he dares or not is not something you can resolve by pping the table and scowling here.¡± Nn Ye lightly mocked him, as a cold thought shed through his mind. ¡°I even thought previously that something good is happening for you. Turns out......heh heh Luo Qing Luan marrying Nangong Chen has already been decided. Will you really go so far as to visit His Majesty and insist that she marry you, or something. After that, you¡¯re going to offend your future father-inw and even make Nangong Chen be on guard against you.¡±


    ¡°Our Fifth Prince is not as simple as he looks on the outside, understand?¡±


    At a loss in every possible way, extremely awkward, Nangong Qing totally had not thought that such a simple seeming matter unexpectedly suddenly became so thorny.


    He only wanted to marry a woman he loved. Why were there so many twists and turns?


    Suddenly, he thought of something and asked eagerly, ¡°That won¡¯t do. I absolutely can¡¯t allow Fifth Brother to harm Miss Luo. He already married her sister. How can he possibly also marry her, two sisters sharing the same husband?¡±


    Moreover, what he was most worried about was that Nangong Chen simply didn¡¯t deserve Luo Qing Luan!


    The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Nangong Qing murmured, ¡°No, I have to go talk to Imperial Father, have him bestow Miss Luo to me in marriage. If worstes to worst, I¡¯ll just offend Fifth Brother, that¡¯s all. I certainly can¡¯t look on as Miss Luo¡¯s lifetime of happiness is ruined in his hands. As for Luo Cheng......¡±


    If he married Luo Qing Luan, then Luo Cheng would be his father-inw. He believed that if he personally went to see Luo Cheng, based on both rtionships and logic, Luo Cheng would surely choose him. After all, he¡¯s the crown prince!


    ¡°Do you think that after talking to His Majesty, your wish wille true?¡±


    Who would have thought, Nn Ye threw a basin of cold water at him again. ¡°You should remember why His Majesty originally agree to cancel Luo Qing Luan and Fifth Prince¡¯s engagement, right? It was rumored throughout the capital that this second Miss Luo wasn¡¯t as simple as she looked. She stabbed her sister in the back and was love sick for Fifth Prince. All of those things which happened proves that the past and the current her are entirely different.¡±


    ¡°At that time, it was because His Majesty heard these rumors that he didn¡¯t like Luo Qing Luan and made up his mind to reject her. Otherwise, do you think things were so simple?¡±


    These words which Nn Ye spoke were actually also the same words which the Emperor of Western Chu spoke to him today.


    Regarding whichever girl Nn Ye might have desired to marry, the Emperor felt that they were all pretty ordinary. But once he heard it was Luo Qing Luan, the Emperor then spoke the previous words. He asked why Nn Ye would fancy such an immoral, dishonorable, infamous woman.


    However in regards to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s recent disy, the Emperor also heard of it. Therefore, Nn Ye gave a few exnations and the Emperor no longer persisted too much. Since he liked her, then the Emperor just went ahead and gave his consent. It was rare for this favored most capable and faithful official to fancy a woman. There¡¯s no harm in treating her as a girl from a poor and limited family.


    Nangong Qing was startled and blurted, ¡°What, Imperial Father actually looked upon Luo Qing Luan like that? Imperial Father has misunderstood. Miss Luo is educated and well-bnced, bright and capable. She can even y the zither expertly. Even Imperial Mother likes her. How can Imperial Father misunderstand her like this?¡±


    ¡°That won¡¯t do. I want to go exin to Imperial Father......¡±


    After he said this, he wanted to depart quickly.


    Behind him, a voice sounded. ¡°Come back!¡±


    ¡°If you rashly go look for His Majesty, do you think that just a few words will be able to change His Majesty¡¯s view on Luo Qing Luan? What¡¯s more, the problem right now is not only this. There¡¯s also Fifth Prince¡¯s to block you. Once he knows that you also want to marry Luo Qing Luan, do you think he¡¯ll jump out or not, like pouring oil onto a burning fire?¡±


    Nangong Qing froze, not moving for quite a while.


    That¡¯s right. He understood his own Fifth Brother. Even though Nangong Chen had never obtained their imperial father¡¯s favor, only after he went through Dark Night Hall¡¯s investigation did he find out that not only was Nangong Chen¡¯s ambition vigorous, he even wanted to take over his position one day. Moreover, Nangong Chen had done countless hidden things behind his back since long ago.


    ¡°Therefore, if you truly want to marry Miss Luo, you¡¯ll need to properly make a n.¡±


    After standing frozen for half the day, Nangong Qing finally regained his senses. That¡¯s right. He thought about everything too simply before. He didn¡¯t expect that he couldn¡¯t even see through this matter. His information was reallycking.


    But must seed in this matter. He had to marry Miss Luo.


    Turning around, he returned to the pavilion and sat down again. Nangong Qing asked in a totally respectful manner. ¡°Only you can help me with this. Tell me, how should I proceed?¡±


    Considering the many years they¡¯d been good friends, he¡¯ll reluctantly let him off. Nn Ye felt that he was already verypassionate and merciful. If the other party wasn¡¯t Nangong Qing, but someone else instead who dared to snatch away Luo Qing Luan, it would be a wonder if he didn¡¯t send him to hell.


    As for Nangong Qing, forget it. He¡¯ll just send him a bit farther away. It¡¯s best if Nangong Qing didn¡¯t see his and Luo Qing Luan¡¯s marriage.


    ¡°It¡¯s not like there isn¡¯t a way, but I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not something you can aplish within a short period of time.¡± Nn Ye uttered as his eyes narrowed, revealing an extremely dangerous intention. ¡°To make Nangong Chen not dare to speak, and have His Majesty agree to bestow Miss Luo upon you in marriage while also making Luo Cheng happily recognize you as his future father-inw, there¡¯s one best opportunity right now.¡±


    Nangong Qing¡¯s eyes shined and immediately asked. ¡°Ziqing, tell me. What way is there?¡±


    Seeing that the other party was falling into his n step by step, Nn Ye didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit of guilt. He replied in differently. ¡°Now that the country of Nanyue is disturbing the border, as long as you request to lead the troops to the border and intimidate Nanyue, when you return in victory, you¡¯ve naturally performed great merit.¡±


    ¡°At that time, His Majesty will agree to whatever request you make, and you¡¯ll be the one shining in the limelight. No matter if it¡¯s Nangong Chen or Luo Cheng, neither will dare to have any objection.¡±


    ¡°Go to the border to intimidate Nanyue?¡± Nangong Qing felt embarrassed. It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of hardship or death, but rather once he made this decision, he wouldn¡¯t be able to return in a short amount of time. If there were any changes in the capital, or if Miss Luo......then he absolutely wouldn¡¯t have enough time to return.


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t say much at all and only said, ¡°I¡¯ve said everything there was to say. In the end, whether you¡¯re willing to invest in this bit of hardship or not in exchange for your marriage, that¡¯spletely up to you.¡±


    ......

 Chapter 71.2 - Trick Someone at No Cost

    Chapter 71b: Trick Someone at No Cost


    The General¡¯s Mansion already started to be bustling. In two days, Her Highness the empress would arrive. Very likely, a big joyous asion would soone to the General¡¯s Mansion.


    Luo Cheng was so happy that his mouth was unable to close. Thinking about how his wish woulde true soon, how both of his daughters were married to the royal family, he really felt supremely glorious. Even though he was aged and was no longer able to bear arms, he no longer had to worry in the future.


    And the one with the opposite reaction was Wang Xue Ru. She simply couldn¡¯t stand staying at the General¡¯s Mansion, so she just left for Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion toin to her daughter. Hearing that Luo Qing Luan actually made the Empress so happy, so much so that she very possibly would be married off to the Crown Prince, Luo Qing Shuang was so angry that her eyes became red.


    In the entire General¡¯s Mansion, only Luo Qing Luan was most calm. As far as she was concerned, the Empress¡¯ visit was the same as a sick patient visiting, that¡¯s all.


    That simply nonexistent master need to be created within these two days. Naturally, it would be up to her to y that role.


    The clothes as well as makeup she needed for the disguise had already been prepared by Dai Yue early on. And at this moment, the table in front of Luo Qing Luan disyed numerous herbal medicines as well as some strange powders and a frightful looking little insects. Her expression was tranquil as she mixed.


    The medicinal skills that the Ghost Doctor imparted to her naturally included gynecological treatments. It¡¯s just that Empress Wang¡¯s condition was a bit special. Not only was it necessary to use especially made pharmaceuticals, it also necessitated her use of the Ghost Hand Nine Needles acupuncture technique to stimte Empress Wang¡¯s acupoints, before she could restore her chances at conceiving.


    Before Empress Wang arrived at the General¡¯s Mansion, Luo Qing Luan needed to properly mix the medicinal ingredients. At that time, she¡¯d only needed to give Empress Wang the acupuncture treatment. Only in this way could she cut down on the treatment time.


    Two dayster, two things happened which brought the court into heated discussion.


    Firstly, the crown prince, Nangong Qing, took the initiative to volunteer for service on behalf of citizens who had been harassed at the border. He resolved to first lead fifty thousand troops to intimidate Nanyue. If anything happened, he would be ready to go to war and disy their national prestige.


    Secondly, Her Highness the empress wanted to make a visit to the General¡¯s Mansion to see the hundred years old sago palm tree which only bloomed once every ten years.


    The majority of court officials did not concern themselves much with the empress¡¯ visit to the General¡¯s Mansion. After all, with regards to the affairs of the nation, the eve of the crown prince¡¯s departure for Nanyue was still much more important.


    Western Chu¡¯s Emperor considered the matter repeatedly and in conjunction with Nn Ye¡¯s opinions, he finally agreed to Nangong Qing¡¯s journey to the border. The army was to formally set off in five days.


    Empress Wang kept everything simple. She only brought a few eunuchs and pce maids as well as twenty some inner pce guards to the General¡¯s Mansion. Her matter was already nearly forgotten by most people.


    After having hoped for the visit for who knows how long, when Luo Cheng saw that Empress Wang really honored him with her presence, he smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.


    ¡°I pay my respects to Your Highness. Please enter, Your Highness.¡± Everyone in the General¡¯s Mansion were closely packed together as they kneeled formally in the front courtyard, happy from the bottom of their hearts.


    ¡°You may rise. No need to be over courteous.¡± Empress Wang smiled, but didn¡¯t reveal anything. After she spoke a few words with Luo Cheng, her attention turned to Luo Qing Luan.


    ¡°Qing Luan, take good care of Her Highness, don¡¯t be neglectful, got that?¡± Luo Cheng said promptly.


    ¡°Father, I understand.¡± Having always been waiting to see that so-called expert, Empress Wang simply didn¡¯t have the inclination to waste time on Luo Cheng. She found an excuse and brought Luo Qing Luan to the back garden. She made it known that she wanted to speak personally with Luo Qing Luan.


    Having prepared earlier, even Dai Yue didn¡¯t follow along. Luo Qing Luan led Empress Wang to a set of sliding doors and said softly, ¡°Your Highness, Master is inside the room. After you enter, please remember to ask less talk less. My master¡¯s temperament is a bit entric. May Your Highness please forgive......¡±


    ¡°No matter. I understand.¡± How could Empress Wang care about this. As long as she could be cured and be pregnant, she was willing to pay any price.


    ¡°Then, Your Highness, I will wait at the door. Nobody else wille. Please be at ease, Your Highness.¡± Luo Qing Luan said submissively. No one could sense the bright sh through her eyes.


    Just as Empress Wang pushed open the door, she quietly slipped away.


    Within the room next door, an area was already partitioned off early on. Luo Qing Luan quickly changed, then sat behind a gauze curtain. When the Empress brought forth a sincere frame of mind, she entered and only saw room that wasn¡¯t too bright. Behind the thin curtain sat a female figure.


    The image wasn¡¯t clear, but this actually made her seem more mysterious. It was the first time that Empress Wang had this kind of feeling. Her own future was in this person¡¯s hands, but she already wanted to obtain this glimmer of hope regardless of everything.


    ¡°Master......¡± She called out softly, without the slightest trace of the majesty and noble air belonging to an empress. Empress Wang sat on a stool on the other side of the thin curtain, filled with hope as she spoke.


    Deepening her voice, Luo Qing Luan answered, ¡°I already know Your Highness¡¯ reason foring. Please extend your hand. I¡¯d like to first check your pulse before we continue.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, great master.¡±

    <h4>Chapter 72a: Treating Empress Wang</h4>


    Luo Qing Luan was already well aware of the condition of Empress Wang¡¯s health. Checking her pulse again was merely for appearances sake.


    Very quickly, Luo Qing Luan withdrew her hand and said, ¡°Your Highness¡¯ condition is not optimistic.¡± Her tone of voice wasn¡¯t very serious at all, but whenbined with this solemn and quiet atmosphere, Empress Wang instinctively became apprehensive. Once she heard these words, she immediately panicked.


    ¡°Great Master, you have to help me.¡± She even dropped the formal means of address when referring to herself. Empress Wang anxiously and eagerly continued. ¡°As long as you can cure me, no matter what requests the great master makes, I will absolutely not refuse anything that I can aplish. Great Master, I beg of you......¡±


    ¡°Your Highness, please don¡¯t be too excited. It¡¯s not good for your health.¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s manner was as calm as before. Even the tone of her voice did not undte. ¡°Even though your problem is a bit thorny, it¡¯s also not unsolvable.¡±


    Just as Empress Wang was about to be delighted and wanted to ask something, Luo Qing Luan already continued, ¡°My disciple has already spoke to me and I¡¯ve also checked your health. Your condition really is more or less the same as what she said. If you¡¯d like to cure it thoroughly and conceive smoothly, then Your Highness will need to do a few things.¡±


    ¡°Please speak, Great Master.¡± Empress Wang was pleasantly surprised and quickly asked.


    ¡°Firstly, take care of your health which means your mind needs to be undisturbed and your soul calm. This is the foundation. If you take care of your body while you worry about everything, that will tax your mind and body. Your heart will be vexed and fretful, which will undoubtedly influence your health. Will Your Highness be able to do this?¡± Luo Qing Luan said expressionlessly.


    Even though it¡¯s easy to say and sounded like she was urging Empress Wang to worry less, the fact was that this was actually Luo Qing Luan¡¯s main focus.


    She didn¡¯t want Empress Wang to focus attention on her, wanting her to be the Crown Prince Consort. Even more so, she didn¡¯t wish Empress Wang to directly talk with the Emperor. If the imperial edict was issued, everything would be toote. Therefore she had to make Empress Wang not care about this matter and diverted her attention. This was actually her objective in treating Empress Wang¡¯s illness.


    Sure enough, Empress Wang wasn¡¯t aware of this in the least and immediately answered, ¡°Fine. No problem. After I return, I¡¯ll ask His Majesty to temporarily entrust all matters regarding the inner pce to Imperial Consort Song. If not, someone else will be fine, too. Please tell me Great Master, what¡¯s next?¡±


    Very satisfied, Luo Qing Luan was expressionless as before. ¡°Secondly are the specifics on how your treatment should proceed. I¡¯m afraid that your health has already been bad for many years. The imperial physician has already told you this many years ago, right?¡±


    Recalling how she¡¯d been examined by countless numbers of imperial physicians in the past, yet each of them gave about the same excuse. Empress Wang¡¯splexion darkened a bit and replied. ¡°Yes, Great Master, His Majesty have asked many imperial physicians to examine me. Without exception, every one of them said that my body is chilly and fears the cold. It won¡¯t be easy to be pregnant. Even if I conceive, it would be easy to......¡±


    ¡°Yes, it truly is not easy for a chilly body which fears the cold to conceive, but if Your Highness is willing to suffer a little bit, I¡¯ll still have a way.¡±


    Once she heard this, Empress Wang was thrilled. ¡°Please tell me, Great Master, what way would that be?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly and answered. ¡°Not difficult at all. It only necessitates my treatment for a period of time, then you¡¯ll be all better after you take a nap.¡±


    ¡°That simple?¡± Empress Wang even thought that she needed to pay some price, she didn¡¯t expect......it merely requires taking a nap?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯ll be better after taking a nap.¡± Luo Qing Luan exined. ¡°After all, Your Highness¡¯ body is noble. A mishap is not allowed, but my techniques also can not be made known to outsiders, can not be seen by others. Even Your Highness can not know of them. If Your Highness trusts me and allow yourself to be safely ced in my hands no matter what I do to you......¡±


    She had not had a chance to finish speaking when Empress Wang already stood up and sincerely paid respect, ¡°Please be assured Great Master, as long as you can cure my body, which allows me to conceive, so what if I hand over even my life to Great Master? Great Master, just go ahead and act, I will go to inform those outside not to enter no matter what happens during the time of the treatment.¡±


    ¡°Mm, good.¡± Luo Qing Luan nodded. She didn¡¯t expect that Empress Wang would be persuaded so smoothly. She was still somewhat surprised.


    It seemed that, for the sake of having a child, Empress Wang would truly throw caution to the winds. She didn¡¯t even care for her own safety. This Great Master merely met Empress Wang for the first time, yet she already trusted her so much. Even though it¡¯s possible to imagine how eager Empress Wang was to have a child, her actions was also able to disy her real benevolence and magnanimity, devoid of any machinations.


    If one of those highly suspicious people were in her ce, they absolutely wouldn¡¯t have been convinced.


    Originally, Luo Qing Luan also merely supported Empress Wang. Since things turned out this way, she wanted even more to properly cure Empress Wang.


    After a short moment, Empress Wang came back in and said that she already instructed her subordinates. As long as she didn¡¯t take the initiative to go outside, even if any sounds came from the room, no one was allowed toe in. The vitor would bemitting a capital offense.


    ¡°Mn, then will Your Highness please recline on the couch over there. Let¡¯s prepare to start.¡± Luo Qing Luan stated.


    Starting to get nervous, Empress Wang walked to the side of the concubine couch and sat down. After that, she took off her shoes and sat up, then slowlyy down. She remembered that the Great Master said that nobody was allowed to see her treatment techniques, not even an empress. It would seem it¡¯s better to fall asleep.


    She quickly closed her eyes, but sleep wasn¡¯t something that could be done in a short period of time, especially now......this difficult toe by trace of hope caused Empress Wang to be too excited. The more she wanted to sleep, the more she could not sleep, instead. Her eyes closed, then opened again. They opened then promptly closed again. She didn¡¯t even dare to move.


    Right at this time, she just heard a slight rustling noiseing towards her, as if someone was approaching.


    Empress Wang was about to turn her head and look when she recalled something and kept her eyes closed without moving. In but a moment, she felt something prick her body lightly, then she thoroughly fell asleep.

 Chapter 72.2 - Treating Empress Wang

    <h4>Chapter 72b: Treating Empress Wang</h4>


    Having prepared her needles early on, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s movements were fast. She used the Ghost Hand Nine Needles method to skillfully aim at Empress Wang¡¯s acupoints. Once she finished this, it¡¯d be time for the medicine she already prepared yesterday. Luo Qing Luan pinched open Empress Wang¡¯s lower jaw and ced the pill she made yesterday into her mouth. She didn¡¯t use any water and just relied on the other¡¯s saliva to melt the pill slowly, along with her throat swallowing bit by bit.


    When Empress Wang woke up, everything seemed to be the same as before, as if she just fell asleep on the couch. She didn¡¯t sense anything happening.


    ¡°Your Highness, everything¡¯s done.¡± A voice approached.


    Empress Wang heard and nked out. It¡¯s done so quickly? She didn¡¯t feel anything!


    ¡°This is the first treatment. Two more treatments are necessary before your body will recover.¡± Luo Qing Luan stated, her voice as before, without any undtion. ¡°However, it¡¯s best that Your Highness remains at the General¡¯s Mansion. I¡¯ll provide the treatments tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After that, you can then return to the pce.¡±


    This sounded so simple. She merely needed to stay at the General¡¯s Mansion for three days. Empress Wang was overjoyed at the turn of events and didn¡¯t hesitate in the least. She immediately sent someone to return to the imperial pce and provided notification. She indeed found some random excuses to stay at the General¡¯s Mansion for three days.


    During these three days, besides receiving treatment, Empress Wang only stayed with Luo Qing Luan. Luo Cheng was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. Besides Wang Xue Ru, who waited nervously, probably everyone else at the general¡¯s mansion was happy for Luo Qing Luan. Empress Wang was actually so fond of their youngdy. This was indeed an honor that they could share in.


    Wang Xue Ru also tried to go chat with Empress Wang and exhausted all methods to ingratiate herself with her. But no matter whether she provided an entire table of good food, or said some other nice sounding things, Empress Wang was indifferent from beginning to end. This caused Wang Xue Ru to rack her brains yet it was the same as punching cotton. She was so envious that her teeth itched.


    On the third day, Luo Qing Shuang, who was already married to Fifth Prince, also returned. Naturally, she wanted to block Luo Qing Luan from continuing to receive Empress Wang¡¯s favor.


    And now, it was about noon time. There was still some time before thest treatment was to begin. Empress Wang and Luo Qing Luan, Wang Xue Ru, and Luo Qing Shuang were resting in a pavilion at the general¡¯s mansion¡¯s rear garden. On top of the stone table in the pavilion, fresh fruits and tea were disyed. A few servant girls were waiting by the side. The pce maid Empress Wang brought were also standing at the side.


    ¡°Your Highness¡¯ presence at the general¡¯s mansion during thest few days has truly been a light to our humble dwelling. The weather today is so good, how about I ask a few more people toe so that we can watch an opera, what does Your Highness think? I heard that recently, a famous theatrical troupe has arrived at the capital......¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru¡¯s fawning words hadn¡¯t finished before Empress Wang already smiled and shook her head in refusal.


    The Great Master already told her that she needed to remain especially tranquil during the treatment time. It¡¯s not appropriate to be too sad, nor too happy. Even though she ordinarily enjoyed things like listening to an opera, let¡¯s forget it for now.


    Seeing that Empress Wang didn¡¯t agree, Wang Xue Ru was unwilling to give up. With the turn of her eyes, she spoke again. ¡°Oh yes, what would you like to eat tonight. The cooks at our general¡¯s mansion are not bad. Even though they can notpare to those at the imperial pce, they¡¯re also pretty good. How about I have the cooks make for Your Highness some fine......¡±


    She hadn¡¯t finished speaking when Empress Wang shook her head and said indifferently, ¡°There¡¯s really no need. It¡¯ll be fine for me to casually eat something. Moreover, I recently don¡¯t have much of an appetite. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble.¡± Actually, she kept the Great Master¡¯s advice in mind. She recently needed to carefully control her diet, attaching the most importance to light, non greasy foods. She normally didn¡¯t eat much meat and fish to begin with. Now that she needed to take care of her body, she was even more unwilling to eat indiscriminately. Sessively snagged on a nail twice, Wang Xue Ru also felt somewhat awkward. She looked at Luo Qing Shuang, who reacted and immediately said, ¡°It¡¯s so rare for Your Highness toe visit our general¡¯s mansion. How can we not properly receive our guests? If word got out, other people will even think that we don¡¯t respect Your Highness! Younger Sister, Her Highness has basically spent all her time with you during thest two days. Have you told Her Highness something, that¡¯s why she is so constrained?¡±


    Wang Xue Ru also pretended toin, ¡°That¡¯s right, Qing Luan, Her Highness has basically been inseparable from you during thesest two days. What in the world have you said to Her Highness?¡±


    Having been prepared ahead of time for Wang Xue Ru to jump out and create problems, Luo Qing Luan already advised Empress Wang to take note of a few things. She certainly wasn¡¯t looking to dominate the empress¡¯ favor and really just didn¡¯t want trouble. In fact, she was looking forward to finishing up as soon as possible and send away this troublesome huge character.


    But in other people¡¯s eyes, Luo Qing Luan truly had Empress Wang¡¯s ears, so much so that Empress Wang was getting duped, resulting in a group of jealous, envious and hate filled women who couldn¡¯t jump out soon enough to cut her open.


    This kind of covert maneuvering in a fight within the imperial pce was something that Empress Wang had already seen who knew how many times. It¡¯s just that as empress, she simply didn¡¯t need to care about these things, not to mention the going ons in a little rear garden at the General¡¯s Mansion? She had already heard how Luo Qing Luan was not loved in the general¡¯s mansion. Now that these people, who were already giving her face, were picking faults in her presence, Empress Wang couldn¡¯t help but sigh on behalf of Luo Qing Luan, this clever and patient young girl.


    In the end, her temper was good. Empress Wang merely said, ¡°Miss Luo is not bad. I like her very much.¡±


    One sentence blocked Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s mouths. When they still wanted to continue saying something, Empress Wang already didn¡¯t want to hear anymore. She pulled Luo Qing Luan and left.


    At about three to five o¡¯clock in the afternoon, thest acupuncture treatment was done, medicine was taken. Empress Wang¡¯s problem had been thoroughly taken care of.


    ¡°Your Highness, when was thest time your period came?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked expressionlessly, ying the role of Master.


    ¡°It was about the twenty fifth ofst month.¡± After thinking about it, Empress Wang answered softly, no matter how embarrassed she felt.


    Luo Qing Luan nodded her head and said, ¡°Mm then, Your Highness, please take notice when you return. Please keep His Majestypany a few nights during the next seven or eight days. Perhaps sess wille.¡±

 Chapter 73.1 - Bestowing Marriage Upon Nalan Ye

    <h4>Chapter 73a: Bestowing Marriage Upon Nn Ye</h4>


    After sending off Empress Wang, Luo Qing Luan felt rxed all over. She calcted all sorts of ways before she thought of this method. Right now, Empress Wang¡¯s mind was filled only with the thought of getting pregnant. She simply didn¡¯t have the leisure to be concerned about the crown prince consort. She finally could rx.


    However, something that Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t anticipated very quickly happened. Merely ten days after Nangong Qing lead the troops and left for the border, an imperial edict arrived.


    ¡°By the Mandate of Heaven, the emperor states, the daughter of General Luo Cheng, Luo Qing Luan, is good-looking and intelligent elegant and well-mannered. We are extremely pleased and especially bestowed her in marriage to the Prince of Chu, Nn Ye, who will take the responsibility of finding a propitious day for the wedding. By the emperor.¡±


    Eunuch Wang, who brought the decree, smiled very politely as he handed the imperial edict over to Luo Cheng, whose soul had left him. Eunuch Wang said fawningly, ¡°General Luo, congrattions! Eh? Is General Luo just too happy? I understand. To have his majesty grant the second Miss Luo a marriage with His Lordship the Prince of Chu, it truly is a big happy asion. If I were you, General Luo, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll also be the same, I¡¯ll have difficulty speaking.¡±


    ¡°This......it actually is Prince, His Lordship the Prince of Chu?¡± Luo Cheng was so shocked that his brainpletely nked out.


    Once Eunuch Wang left, Luo Cheng quickly unrolled the imperial edict. Suddenly, a delicate little hand quickly stretched over, practically fighting to snatch away the edict from his hands.


    Just as he was getting angry, Luo Cheng saw that it was Luo Qing Luan. Whatever temper he had immediately disappeared. ¡°Qing Luan, His Majesty bestowed you to the Prince of Chu in marriage. Were you aware of this matter beforehand?¡± After hesitating a little, he still asked this question.


    The Prince of Chu was equally honorable, favored, and respected, with his position not lower than the crown prince¡¯s. But once Luo Cheng thought of the Prince of Chu¡¯s title of ¡®Iceberg Prince¡¯, as well as that imposing manner, even if it was he was the one who had climbed to this door as inws, was it possible for him to still dare to unt a father-inws¡¯ superior authority in front of Nn Ye?


    How could Luo Qing Luan still be in the mood to answer Luo Cheng¡¯s question?


    She was so angry that her hands were trembling. She was unable to understand no matter what. Why was it that when everything was going well, this kind of thing actually happened. She was surprisingly bestowed upon Nn Ye in marriage? What in the world happened that she didn¡¯t know about?


    Unable to stay any longer, she wanted to immediately look for Nn Ye to get to the bottom of the matter.


    Casting away Luo Cheng, she hastily rushed to the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion. Without any trace of politeness, Luo Qing Luan beat on the door, then kicked it when there was no response.


    With a squeak, the door opened. The doorkeeper was about to get angry, but once he saw Luo Qing Luan, he promptly changed to an expression of a fawning smiling face. ¡°Prince¡¯s Consort, you¡¯vee......¡±


    Hearing the address ¡®Prince¡¯s Consort¡¯, Luo Qing Luan nearly exploded from anger. Furious, she entered a study. Nn Ye was sitting by the side of his desk. He looked at her while smilingly while saying shamelessly, ¡°You¡¯vee so quickly. Did you find out that you¡¯re getting married to me and is too happy?¡±


    ¡°Too happy? Right now, she¡¯s itching to kill him! Luo Qing Luan was so angry that her beautiful face turned red through and through. With two steps, she charged towards Nn Ye and pped a hand on the table. She uttered indignantly, ¡°Nn Ye, properly exin to me. What really happened with this imperial edict bestowing marriage? Don¡¯t say that you don¡¯t know about it!¡±.


    Nn Ye smiled indifferently, ¡°Turns out you came to ask me about this matter, but I really don¡¯t know the in¡¯s of the matter. A monarch¡¯s heart is difficult to fathom. His Majesty wants to issue an imperial decree, so what can a subject do?¡±


    Completely different than his former chilly iceberg-like appearance, and also entirely devoid of his strict expression which kept others at bay, Nn Ye¡¯s expression was gentle, so much so that he was even smiling slightly. That pure and perfectly handsome appearance was like orchids and jade trees. He radiated a refined, schrly noble aura from head to toe.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying you didn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on at all?¡± Luo Qing Luan certainly didn¡¯t believe him.


    Nn Ye nodded his head while the corners of his mouth curved up slightly before he answered softly. ¡°Yes. After morning court yesterday, His Majesty summoned me to a separate room and told me about the matter of bestowing marriage. How could I dare to refuse and could only ept.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes became as round as a ball. She absolutely didn¡¯t believe it and grabbed the sleeves of his garment. ¡°Nn Ye, you went as far as to ept?¡±


    ¡°After all, we know each other. In any case, marrying you is better than marrying a stranger, right?¡± As Nn Ye spoke, he looked at Luo Qing Luan and sized her up. Disying a somewhat pleased appearance, his continued, ¡°Moreover, your looks really can be considered not too bad and you can y the zither as well as cook. You¡¯re passable as my prince¡¯s consort. Therefore, I consented.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan red at Nn Ye gnashing her teeth in anger and said coldly, ¡°Nn Ye, I¡¯m telling you, immediately go and see His Majesty. Have him cancel the marriage, or else, do you believe or not that I¡¯ll surely set fire to this Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion of yours!¡±


    ¡°You want to cancel the marriage?¡± Nn Ye appeared somewhat surprised.


    What¡¯s with the acting this loathsome man was putting up? Everything that had happened was caused by him in the first ce. He surprisingly even asked her if she wanted to cancel the marriage? Was he truly taking her to be one of those ignorant girls who couldn¡¯t walk straight after seeing a man and be starry-eyed love-struck fools?


    Luo Qing Luan red fixedly at this two or more faced man in front of her with an expression of someone not to be taken lightly. ¡°Nn Ye, you don¡¯t like me, I also don¡¯t like you. Why must you force us to be together? I really don¡¯t believe that based on your status, His Majesty would still insist on this matter. If you want to go today, you should go. If you don¡¯t want to go today, you still have to go. In short, I absolutely won¡¯t marry you!¡±


    Frowning, Nn Ye unexpectedly didn¡¯t get mad because of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s threat. Instead, he appeared even more conscientious as he reflected on this problem.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to agree, rather......¡±

 Chapter 73.2 - Bestowing Marriage Upon Nalan Ye

    <h4>Chapter 73b: Bestowing Marriage Upon Nn Ye</h4>


    Nn Ye¡¯s handsome face appeared iparably grim and even carried a trace of solemness. ¡°Everyone knows that the words of a lord can not be taken back. When His Majesty¡¯s golden mouth speaks, it¡¯s as good as set in stone. What¡¯s more, this time, even an imperial edict has been issued and made known to everyone. If at this time, I rashly go to meet with His Majesty to have him revoke hismand, tell me, wouldn¡¯t His Majesty¡¯s dragon countenance be furious?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan was just about to say something when Nn Ye suddenly smiled. ¡°Even though I¡¯m willing to marry you, I still won¡¯t force you. If you insist on withdrawing on this marriage, then you can personally go tell His Majesty.¡±


    ¡°This was caused by your plots and machinations to begin with. Now, you evene and force me?¡± Once she heard Nn Ye¡¯s nearly scoundrelly words, Luo Qing Luan immediately gnashed her teeth in anger.


    Nn Ye shrugged his shoulders, disying a very innocent expression. ¡°You¡¯ve really wronged me. How can I be willing to force you? As long as you agree to get married, you¡¯ll be this Prince¡¯s consort. I can¡¯t even love you dearly enough, how can I make things difficult for you?¡±


    Seeing him extend his hand towards her, as if he wanted to get fresh with her, Luo Qing Luan promptly took a step back and answered with vignce, ¡°Then fine, Nn Ye, if you don¡¯t go, then I¡¯ll go myself. I really don¡¯t believe that His Majesty will truly be so unreasonable, insisting on randomly forcing two mandarin ducks together (forcing affections on two people).¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around to leave.


    ¡°Wait, wait......¡±


    The corners of Nn Ye¡¯s mouth curved up. ¡°I should first remind you about something. Recently, the crown prince has just left for the border with his troops. His Majesty is very worried. If you go to see His Majesty, you must remember to speak carefully. Otherwise......if His Majesty¡¯s mood turn sour, he may directly sentence the General¡¯s Mansion with the crime of resisting and failing to obey an imperial decree. At that time, for sure, a happy asion will turn into funeral arrangements.¡±


    Eyelids twitching, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t restrain her rage from violently bubbling up.


    No wonder this scoundrel, Nn Ye, made her go herself. So it was like that! Apparently, he was certain that she wouldn¡¯t be able to go and will have to marry him! Not only had she already cancelled an engagement not long ago, if she went again this time, she¡¯s afraid she¡¯d really give the emperor a bad impression.


    Even if the emperor was magnanimous and didn¡¯t bother with these things, what if the emperor bestowed marriage upon her again to the crown prince, then could she really still refuse? After being rejected again and again, how far would the emperor¡¯s face drop? Very possibly, he would be enraged on the scene and directly execute the entire Luo family as well as confiscate their property, right?


    After figuring out this point, Luo Qing Luan forced herself to cool down.


    ¡°Actually, Miss Luo, even if you don¡¯t like me, when you be my consort, there¡¯ll definitely be benefits for you.¡±


    Watching Luo Qing Luan remain silent, Nn Ye opened his mouth again. As before, he was neither rushed, nor slow. His manner was as calm as water as he said unhurriedly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want me to help you investigate your father¡¯s concubine¡¯s matter? This matter happened more than ten years ago already and is indeed very troublesome to investigate. Of course, if you be my consort, your matters will immediately be my family matters. It will naturally be incumbent upon me to help you.¡±


    ¡°Moreover,st time, your father¡¯s concubine was unable to harm you. She surely will think of a way to continue to deal with you. Staying at the general¡¯s mansion will likely not guarantee your safety, but if you be the Princess of Chu (her title as Prince of Chu¡¯s consort), your father¡¯s concubine will certainly not dare to make a move as she wishes.¡±


    Astonishment shing through her eyes, Luo Qing Luan was full of suspicion as she looked at Nn Ye, ¡°You would be so kind as to think through things on my behalf?¡±


    Nn Ye smiled and replied, ¡°Looks like your prejudice towards me is very deep? However, I nevertheless feel more and more that you¡¯re not bad. Miss Luo, it¡¯s really not a bad idea to marry me. You might as well think it over?¡±


    Her previous rage gradually faded away. Understanding that there¡¯s no way to cancel the marriage under the circumstances, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t merely consider the situation before her. Based on what Nn Ye said, it really was somewhat reasonable. If she moved to live at Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion, she wouldn¡¯t need to be wary of Luo Cheng and Wang Xue Ru¡¯s every mood anymore. Even more so, she wouldn¡¯t need to be on guard all the time against someone secretly making a move against her. She also would have even more time to do the things that she wanted to do.


    Relying on her identity as the Princess of Chu, it would also be easier for her to handle matters in a much more easy and rxed way.


    It¡¯s just that this Nn Ye......could she really trust him?


    Luo Qing Luan was just about to think better of things when suddenly, she felt a figure attacking her.


    A distinctly cold and raw breath hit her directly in the face. The speed was astonishingly quick. She suddenly became rmed and wanted to fall back, yet it was toote.


    Nn Ye already embraced her into his chest, one hand ced around her slender waist firmly confining her. The distance between them was very close. They could practically feel each other¡¯s breath and warmth. Luo Qing Luan subconsciously wanted to protest, but she just started to open her mouth when the other¡¯s movements were even faster. He lowered his head and already kissed her.


    Unlike his gentleness and indifference from a moment ago, Nn Ye seemed as if he was plundering her, as he toyed willfully with her lips. His other hand stuck to the back of her head, making her totally incapable of breaking away. He was so insatiable, as if he was punishing her for wanting to cancel the marriage. Using force, he extracted her breath.


    Caught off guard, Luo Qing Luan was already kissed by Nn Ye solidly and inextractibly.


    Just when she wanted to recklessly bite him, Nn Ye actually promptly released her.


    Panting for breath, Luo Qing Luan felt both embarrassed and angry, her face red through and through. Once she saw Nn Ye rubbing his lips as if he had not fully expressed himself and appearing as if he was pondering the vor from just now, she was simply so angry that she wanted to kill him. Without giving it any thought, she already quickly found the ck out powder that she hid on her body. Just when she wanted to scatter it at him, Nn Ye actually detained her wrists and smiled in an iparably crafty way. ¡°Miss Luo, are you looking to knock me out, so you can do as you wish with me? Even though I¡¯m very willing, but since we¡¯re getting married already, how about you wait a couple more days? I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to bear your passion if you¡¯re too impatient.¡±


    ¡°Shameless!¡± A burst of fury suppressed what little bit of embarrassment she felt from before. Luo Qing Luan wished that she could kill the man before her.


    Just as her other hand rapidly found the silver needles and wanted to stick them into him to paralyze him, thetter stepped away as fast as the wind. He took something out and ced it on top of the table. ¡°Miss Luo, please don¡¯t forget. You already said that you¡¯ll agree to one request of mine. Your promise is here in ck and white.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan paused and saw Nn Ye smile like a sly fox, looking at her through narrowed eyes, thin lips continuing in an easy manner. ¡°I¡¯ve already analyzed the advantages and disadvantages for you. Right now, I¡¯m making a request. Be this prince¡¯s consort!¡±

 Chapter 74.1 - Has the Dowry Been Properly Prepared

    <h4>Chapter 74a: Has the Dowry Been Properly Prepared</h4>


    Luo Qing Luan had never been a person who waded in mud and water (hesitant). Once she decided on something, she would quickly carry it out. After thinking over the present situation, she frowned as she looked at Nn Ye. ¡°Fine. It¡¯s possible for me to marry you. However, we need to agree on three basic rules.¡±


    ¡°Go ahead.¡± A crafty light shed through his eyes as Nn Ye said indifferently.


    ¡°Firstly, without my permission, you can¡¯t touch me casually. Even on the night of the wedding, we¡¯ll still need to sleep in separate rooms.¡± As she spoke, Luo Qing Luan stared at Nn Ye, not wanting to miss a single of his expression.


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t say anything excessive at all, and only smiled slightly. ¡°What else?¡±


    ¡°Secondly, even if I marry you and be your consort, you also can¡¯t interfere with anything I do. You can¡¯t get involved in anything that I want to do. Moreover, when necessary, you still have to give me the help I decided on. However, you can¡¯t ask anything of me. If I¡¯m not willing, you can¡¯t force me. In short, I can make demands of you, but you can¡¯t make demands of me!¡±


    Couldn¡¯t help butugh, Nn Ye shook his head helplessly. ¡°Littless, this condition of yours is quite harsh. Besides you, I¡¯m afraid no one dares to say these things to this prince.¡±


    ¡°Thirdly, mm.....I still haven¡¯t thought of the third condition, I¡¯ll tell youter.¡± Luo Qing Luan stared at Nn Ye as she continued, ¡°So, I¡¯ll like these things for the time being. If you agree, I¡¯ll......¡±


    ¡°Fine. I agree.¡±


    Stunned at Nn Ye¡¯s absence of the slightest hesitation, Luo Qing Luan again raised her guard. She couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°You agreed so quickly. You don¡¯t have secret motives?¡±


    A pampering gaze shed across Nn Ye¡¯s eyes as he replied. ¡°It¡¯s wrong to agree. It¡¯s also not possible to not agree. Then, what do you want from me?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan became mute. She didn¡¯t know what to say in response to his question. She then heard him chuckle and continued, ¡°However, returning to the main topic, I¡¯ve agreed with everything you asked, shouldn¡¯t you also agree a little bit to a small request of mine?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan knit her brows as she looked at him, ¡°What request?¡±


    ¡°Since we¡¯re going to get married, to outsiders, you¡¯re my fiancee. We naturally should appear harmonious and treat each other with mutual respect. Therefore, I hope that when people are around, you can smile a bit more, and don¡¯t excessively reject my kind intentions. That¡¯s already enough. Even if you¡¯re pretending, please pretend convincingly, alright?¡±


    ¡°Just this?¡± She suddenly felt somewhat disbelieving.


    Would this man be this kind. Back then, he forced her to write a promissory note. It actually was for this little request?


    Yet Nn Ye only asked for this and even disyed a very understanding expression. Luo Qing Luan racked her brains and still couldn¡¯t understand. How many faces did this man really have? Why did he appear cold and proud before people, taciturn and of few words, strangers kept at a distance. But facing her, he¡¯d been more and more casual and also even acted so coquettishly, sometimes gloomy and cold, sometimes shameless. She had no idea what in the world his intention was to do this.


    Guessing being of no use, Luo Qing Luan ultimately agreed to Nn Ye¡¯s request. The two of them agreed that they¡¯d officially get married in three months.


    Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion.


    When she found out that Luo Qing Luan had actually been granted marriage by the emperor, on the verge of marrying the Prince of Chu, Nn Ye, Luo Qing Shuang was simply stupefied.


    Even if she heard Luo Qing Luan being wed to the crown prince, she wouldn¡¯t have been so shocked, but Nn Ye......how¡¯s that possible?


    ¡°Mother, what in the world happened? Didn¡¯t you tell me before that this damned girl won¡¯t be able to continue living? Why is it that not only is she not dead now, she¡¯s even marrying Nn Ye?¡± Once she thought of Nn Ye¡¯s status, it was at a level that Fifth Prince simply could notpare to, Luo Qing Shuang couldn¡¯t help but be worried. She and Luo Qing Luan were already like water and fire. If Luo Qing Luan really married Nn Ye, how could she not take revenge on her, on her mother, maybe even retaliate against Nangong Chen?


    Once she thought of this, Luo Qing Luan gnashed her teeth. Only with great difficulty was she able to marry Nangong Chen. They¡¯d only been happy for a few days. How could this be allowed to be destroyed by Luo Qing Luan, that loathsome girl? What if Luo Qing Luan said something to Nn Ye, causing His Majesty to dislike Fifth Prince even more, what¡¯s to be done?


    This was also what Wang Xue Ru was worried about.


    She¡¯d still underestimated that girl, Luo Qing Luan!


    Seeing her daughter so worried, Wang Xue Ru¡¯splexion darkened as she said coldly, ¡°Qing Shuang, what are you worried about? At present, that girl is only engaged to the Prince of Chu, that¡¯s all. There are still three months left before she formally marries him. Currently, she¡¯s still living at the General¡¯s Mansion and is still a youngdy from the General¡¯s Mansion. As her father¡¯s concubine, I¡¯ll need to teach her some rules. Don¡¯t tell me she can actually not listen? If she doesn¡¯t listen to me, I don¡¯t believe that she doesn¡¯t listen to even her father¡¯s words.¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s eyes shined. ¡°Mother, there¡¯s not much time. You need to properly think of a n. Teach this girl a lesson. Make her know that even if she married the Prince of Chu, don¡¯t think that she¡¯ll be able to do whatever she pleases! After all, we¡¯re her sister and father¡¯s concubine. If she dares to do anything to us, will she not be afraid that other people will say that she fails to respect her older sister, fails to be filial to her father¡¯s concubine? If that happens, merely Father will likely be enough to beat her to death!¡±


    Wang Xue Ru gloomily conjectured as she replied, ¡°This is still not enough. It¡¯s best if we can think of a way to make the Prince of Chu cancel their marriage. Now that would be a way to truly take that loathsome girl¡¯s life! I¡¯ll see if she still has any face to go on living!¡±


    ......


    Ever since he found out that Luo Qing Luan would be married to Nn Ye soon, the attitude disyed by Luo Cheng towards her had changed greatly. Although it still couldn¡¯tpare with the kind of love he disyed towards Luo Qing Shuang, everytime he looked at Luo Qing Luan, there was still some form of a smiling expression on his face.


    ¡°Mydy, recently, the master seemed to have changed into another person. Not only does he have you eat breakfast with them, he also purchased quite a few things for you.¡±


    It was about seven to nine a.m. in the morning. The autumn sunshine was just right, warmlying in through the windowttice. The room was illuminated by the sunlight making it seem quite a bit more lively. Dai Yue was watering the orchids bonsai that Luo Cheng had just sent someone to bring over. As she spoke with a smile, it was clear that she was quite pleased at the way things have beentely.

 Chapter 74.2 - Has the Dowry Been Properly Prepared

    <h4>Chapter 74b: Has the Dowry Been Properly Prepared</h4>


    Luo Qing Luan shook her head. Dai Yue was indeed easy to satisfy, without any guile at all. She certainly was unable to understand why Luo Cheng¡¯s attitude had changed.


    This father of hers, because of her birth mother having passed away in addition to Wang Xue Ru¡¯s instigation, had misunderstood her for many years. At present, the warmth and affection ordinarily existing between a father and his daughter was basically no more. She also reconciled herself to this early on. Regardless of how Luo Cheng treated her, it mattered not. She already didn¡¯t view him as a father.


    Thinking of the mother who passed away, Luo Qing Luan inevitably thought of Nanny Song¡¯s miserable death.


    Her gaze hardened as Luo Qing Luan narrowed her eyes slightly. The corners of her mouth curved into a chilly smiling expression.


    Then fine. Even though she didn¡¯t want to marry Nn Ye at all, since there was already no way to change it, she¡¯s going to properly make use of her current status. The future Princess of Chu? Heh heh, she truly wanted to know, if after she formally married Nn Ye one day and became the Princess of Chu, would Wang Xue Ru still dare to unt her airs as Father¡¯s concubine in her presence? Would she still dare to carry out those malicious schemes?


    Thinking of this, Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly, then nced at Dai Yue. ¡°Go. Dai Yue, follow me to Graceful Orchid Courtyard.¡±


    Dai Yue was a bit astonished. ¡°You can just instruct me if there¡¯s something you need. Don¡¯t you hate seeing the side madam the most?¡±


    ¡°But right now, I¡¯d like to see Father¡¯s Concubine very much.¡± Once the corners of her mouth curved up, she then rustled away.


    Passing through the moongate at the end of the winding walkway, just when Luo Qing Luan reached Graceful Orchids Courtyard, she heard Wang Xue Ru lecturing a servant girl.


    It was unknown what she was so angry about, a young servant girl was kneeling on the ground. Apparently, she identally broke a teacup, and Wang Xue Ru had her kneel at length in punishment. Not only this, she even had the servant ruthlessly p her own face while admitting her own mistake as well as swearing that she wouldn¡¯t make the same mistake again in the future.


    Wang Xue Ru was in a very bad mood. This servant girl clumsily went so far as to break her favorite set of white china depicting Phnom Penh. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that a grand happy asion wasing soon to the General¡¯s Mansion, forbidding any unpleasant matter from being carried out, she really would¡¯ve directly beat this girl to death.


    The servant girl kneeled on the girl, face swollen from pping herself, weeping bitter tears, but she still didn¡¯t dare to stop.


    ¡°Why is Father¡¯s Concubine so angry?¡± Unexpectedly, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s voice sounded. Her indifferent tone of voice seemed to hide a trace of joy. Wang Xue Ru was startled, following which gloominess attacked her.


    This loathsome girl. It¡¯s already good for her not to find trouble. Contrary to expectations, she even had the nerve to voluntarily venture into Graceful Orchid Courtyard?


    Even though she hated Luo Qing Luan to the extreme, nevertheless, shebored to keep appearances. Wang Xue Ru chuckled, putting on a fake smile as she said, ¡°This little servant isn¡¯t well-behaved and trips all over herself. If she¡¯s not properly taught, others may even think that our General¡¯s Mansion has no discipline.¡±


    Seeing that servant girl waiting anxiously, Luo Qing Luan waved her hand and said smilingly, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Father¡¯s Concubine, for my sake, please forgive her. I actually came to look for Father¡¯s Concubine because of an important matter. Please don¡¯t waste time on these trifling matters.¡±


    ¡°Still not withdrawing?¡± She seized an opportunity to cast a meaningful nce towards the servant girl with the red and swollen face.


    Once she heard there was a reason Luo Qing Luan was looking for her, Wang Xue Ru was deeply disgusted. Finally still remembering each other¡¯s status on the surface, sheughed insincerely. ¡°Qing Luan, how lucky you are. You¡¯re about to be a princess. Your father even especially reminded me to properly teach you about eptable behaviors for a married woman. It¡¯s good that you¡¯vee. Father¡¯s Concubine will tell you about them today.¡±


    Without waiting for Wang Xue Ru to finish talking, Luo Qing Luan already sat down, as if she was acting coquettishly, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, I¡¯m really not in the mood to learn some customs. There¡¯s something which hasn¡¯t been determined, so my heart is restless. That¡¯s why I wanted to ask Father¡¯s Concubine about it.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru finally suppressed her temper and asked, ¡°What¡¯s bothering you then?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d like to ask Father¡¯s Concubine. Have you prepared the dowry to be given to me?¡± Luo Qing Luan beamed.


    Dowry? Thisss actually had the cheek toe wanting a dowry?


    Once Wang Xue Ru heard this question, herplexion immediately darkened. Fortunately, she immediately recalled something and smiled with difficulty, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Qing Luan, you¡¯re marrying the Prince of Chu. Moreover, His Majesty even granted this marriage. The Master will certainly prepare your dowry properly. There¡¯s no need for you to worry.¡±


    She was about to cut things off, but Luo Qing Luan just wouldn¡¯t give up and insisted on getting to the bottom of things. ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, tell me, what kind of dowry has Father prepared? If there¡¯s not enough, I won¡¯tply¨C¡±


    She truly hated not being able to kick this girl out. Once she thought about how she¡¯d have to take out arge sum of money soon for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s dowry, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s flesh hurt endlessly. This girl wasn¡¯t her own flesh and blood. Not mentioning that she hadn¡¯t killed Luo Qing Luan, this girl even had delusions of having a dowry properly prepared for her?


    When Luo Cheng previously mentioned this matter to her, Wang Xue Ru was already unhappy. She didn¡¯t expect that Luo Qing Luan actually even voluntarily came knocking.

 Chapter 75.1 - Without a Dowry, She Won’t Marry

    <h4>Chapter 75a: Without a Dowry, She Won¡¯t Marry</h4>


    ¡°Alright, alright. How about I make purchases for you based on the criteria established for Qing Shuang?¡± In any case, remembering that the person Luo Qing Luan was to marry was the Prince of Chu, no matter how pained Wang Xue Ru was, she knew that there was no way to save these monies.


    In fact the only method avable, since there was no way to decrease the dowry, was to spend ten thousand taels of silver as before. However, as for those other items, such as various kinds of damask, and silk fabrics, precious stones and jewelry, she would naturally choose rtively poor quality, or outmoded styles. They only needed to be given pleasant sounding names when entered into the register and it¡¯d be fine.


    As for the deeds for houses andnd, she would also simrly choose poor locations, or poorly performing businesses to give to Luo Qing Luan. In any case, it¡¯s fine as long as she gatheredrge quantities for appearance¡¯s sake. These things seemed to the great in quantity, but in fact were worth not even half of what they should be worth ordinarily.


    ¡°Basing my dowry on Elder Sister¡¯s? Wouldn¡¯t that be a bit too little, Father¡¯s Concubine?¡± She didn¡¯t expect Luo Qing Luan to actually seem as if she was unwilling.


    ¡°What, how can it be too little? It¡¯s already exactly the same as your elder sister¡¯s. Is it possible that I¡¯ll short change you?¡±


    Wang Xue Ru was very resentful, continuing as she resisted her temper, ¡°Think about it, even Qing Shuang was taken care of in this way. She is your elder sister and even Fifth Prince was very satisfied. Qing Luan, what are you still dissatisfied about? Putting it another way, a young girl to be wed who hasn¡¯t even married is already asking about her dowry, how improper is this? When the timees, I¡¯ll prepare everything for you, that¡¯s all. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re even afraid that I¡¯ll cheat you?¡±


    Finishing in one breath, she was thinking of having Luo Qing Luan practice some etiquette while also lecturing her as well as torturing her openly. Who could have imagined that Luo Qing Luan directly stood up,plexion somewhat poor, as she coldly responded, ¡°I¡¯m indeed afraid that Father¡¯s Concubine will cheat me, therefore, I¡¯d like to ask ahead of time.¡±


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Wang Xue Ru couldn¡¯t believe what she was hearing.


    ¡°Only in this way did I find out that Father¡¯s Concubine wants to arrange matters based on Elder Sister¡¯s dowry. Since it¡¯s like this, I¡¯d better go find Father.¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion darkened, very much as if she was unhappy as she continued, ¡°Father already told me previously that he¡¯ll certainly marry me off into the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion in a grand manner and even said that whatever I wanted is fine, but I didn¡¯t expect Father¡¯s Concubine to be so miserly. I¡¯d better go ask Father.¡±


    Finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.


    Once Wang Xue Ru heard this she knew that it was bad. If this girl really went to her father, based on Luo Cheng¡¯s recent attitude of attaching more and more importance to this girl, she¡¯s afraid that he¡¯d agree to whatever requests she put forth. Moreover, the Prince of Chu was her fiancee. If she also muttered a few things in front of Nn Ye, perhaps that Iceberg Prince would truly think that she was unkind to the first wife¡¯s daughter.


    ¡°Wait wait, Qing Luan,e back first.¡± Without any other option, Wang Xue Ru could only stop her.


    ¡°What else does Father¡¯s Concubine have to say?¡± Luo Qing Luan appeared somewhat chilly. Even the smiling expression on her face was gone.


    ¡°Qing Luan, how about this, Father¡¯s Concubine will add some dowry for you and allow you to marry grandly into the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion, alright?¡± Already restraining herself to the utmost, if Wang Xue Ru wasn¡¯t worried about Luo Qing Luan directly finding Luo Cheng, leading to even more losses, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to endure speaking to her.


    Finally putting a smile on her face, Luo Qing Luan extended two fair fingers and said, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, I¡¯d like this much.¡±


    ¡°Twenty thousand taels of silver?¡± Wang Xue Ru¡¯s eyeballs nearly popped out.


    When her Qing Shuang married Fifth Prince, she still merely took away ten thousand taels as dowry. This girl actually wanted twenty thousand? Moreover, there are still other things such as precious stones, jewelry,nd and shops, so the total surpassed what she purchased for Qing Shuang by far. How can she not feel pain?


    But she didn¡¯t expect that Qing Luan actually pursed her lips and shook her head. ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, I¡¯m not talking about money, rather I want double the amount of Elder Sister¡¯s dowry!¡± As if recalling something, she tilted her head and looked up, knitting her brows in contemtion, ¡°I already asked Father yesterday. Father said that Elder Sister¡¯s dowry was valued at two hundred thousand taels in total, so the twofold amount I¡¯m talking about is four hundred taels of silver.¡±


    ¡°Four hundred taels? No way!¡± Without even thinking, Wang Xue Ru declined utterly difited.


    Even though the General¡¯s Mansion was a grand family, with no small number of stores, estates, and so forth. However, every year¡¯s surplus was at best merely thirty thousand taels. When she prepared Qing Shuang¡¯s dowryst time, she had already spent half of their cash reserves. Now that Qing Luan had the impertinence to demand twofold the dowry, no less than four hundred thousand taels, how would this not hollow out all of the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s assets?


    Without family property and money, what meaning was there in her status as the female head of the family?


    ¡°Qing Luan, it¡¯s not that Father¡¯s Concubine doesn¡¯t want to agree, but the four hundred thousand you want is really too much. The General¡¯s Mansion is simply unable to take out this much money. Even if you look for your father, he also will be unable to procure this much.¡±Wang Xue Ru was no longer able to maintain a smiling expression as she continued with a cold and stiff face, ¡°If you¡¯re obedient, then let¡¯s do what I¡¯ve said and prepare the dowry based on what we¡¯ve done for your sister. If you¡¯re not willing, humph, then you¡¯ll have nothing.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    At this moment, Luo Qing Luan actually also didn¡¯t back down at all. She smiled faintly. ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, I¡¯m telling you today, it¡¯s good if this dowry can be prepared, even if it¡¯s not possible, it still must be done. If you¡¯re unable to procure the cash, then I¡¯ll trouble you sell businesses andnd to collect this amount. Otherwise, I won¡¯t marry anymore!¡±


    Feeling a chill run down her spine, Wang Xue Rupletely did not expect that the Luo Qing Luan, who had been bullied hovering between life and death in the past, actually could threaten her in this way. Wasn¡¯t the girl merely making use of her connection to the Prince of Chu? And she wasn¡¯t even married. If she truly became the Princess of Chu, wouldn¡¯t she directly p her face?


    Simply unable to stand it any longer, Wang Xue Ru pped the table and replied coldly, ¡°Your marriage was conferred by His Majesty, are you not getting married just because you say so? Humph!¡±

 Chapter 75.2 - Without a Dowry, She Won’t Marry

    <h4>Chapter 75b: Without a Dowry, She Won¡¯t Marry</h4>


    The two of them were unable toe to an agreement, neither of them backing down at all. Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t continue to stay, as she turned around and left.


    It wasn¡¯t long after she returned to her courtyard that Luo Cheng came. From a distance, she could already perceive his sullen appearance. It was evident that Wang Xue Ru had told on her.


    ¡°Qing Luan, how can someone speak to their father¡¯s concubine like you have? Do you dare to not marry when His Majesty has already issued a decree? Do you want to bring our entire family down?¡± Luo Cheng was truly burning with anger. This second daughter¡¯s marriage had already involved so many twists and turns, he was originally already unhappy. In the end, she was bestowed in marriage to the Prince of Chu. This could be considered not too bad, but he didn¡¯t expect Luo Qing Luan to actually be so greedy. She tly wanted four hundred thousand taels. How could he put up with it?


    Having foreseen early on that Luo Cheng woulde to criticize her, Luo Qing Luan replied indifferently, ¡°What, Father, I haven¡¯t said that I won¡¯t marry. It¡¯s just that I hope that the dowry will be a bit bigger, so that I can marry grandly into the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion, not causing you to lose face, that¡¯s all.¡±


    Pausing slightly, as if she thought of something, she continued in surprise, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be that Father begrudge parting with that money and is unwilling to prepare such a dowry for his daughter?¡±


    This was the truth. Howebbarrassed, awkward manner, ¡°How can I be unwilling, you¡¯re truly acting too willfully. You should just be at ease while waiting at home. Father¡¯s Concubine will arrange everything. I guarantee that it¡¯ll be exactly the same as your sister¡¯s. What are you still dissatisfied about?¡±


    Knitting her brows, Luo Qing Luan answered, ¡°But the one sister married was Fifth Prince. Who doesn¡¯t know that Fifth Prince is least favored by His Majesty. Presently, the one I¡¯m marrying is the Prince of Chu. Can Fifth Prince reallypare to the Prince of Chu?¡±


    Hearing this, Luo Cheng was at a loss for words. He didn¡¯t know how to respond and just listened to Luo Qing Luan continue firmly, ¡°Father naturally hopes that Daughter will live well. If the Prince of Chu discovers that my dowry is about the same as Sister¡¯s, don¡¯t tell me that he won¡¯t be angry? Father is equating him to an insignificant, authority less and powerless Fifth Prince. Tell me, will the Prince of Chu not find you objectionable, will he not look down on me as well? Concerning your daughter¡¯s lifelong happiness, how can Father be miserly towards me?¡±


    These unrestrained words carried a trace of overbearingness. Only now did Luo Cheng discover that the daughter in front of him already was no longer that yielding and obedient one from the past, the Luo Qing Luan who was timid and afraid.


    A full length dress as white as snow, pure and cold beauty. Although she was faintly smiling, there was only coldness in the depths of her pupils. An intensely unfamiliar feeling attacked him. Luo Cheng actually was a bit afraid to look straight at her. He couldn¡¯t help but take a step back, before he recalled that the youngdy before him was only his own daughter. How could he be a bit afraid of her?


    In the end feeling a bit embarrassed, Luo Cheng nevertheless was unable to retort. Luo Qing Luan grasped the timing and again gently spoke a few words. He finally agreed and quickly left.


    ¡°My Lady, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Dai Yue had been waiting in a corner and finally had a chance to speak. Her entire face disyed admiration. ¡°You¡¯ve actually convinced Master to give you double the dowry? I¡¯m afraid the side madam will be angry enough to die, right?¡±


    This being what she had nned from the beginning, Luo Qing Luanughed coldly.


    Since she¡¯d already decided to sort out Wang Xue Ru and wanted the woman to be worse living than dying, she might as well start with her most beloved money. This time, she¡¯d first have Wang Xue Ru feel the pain deeply. Following this, there would be even more fun awaiting her!


    After ten days, Wang Xue Ru finally sold fields, soldnd, sold shops, and gathered a dowry worth four hundred thousand taels. It could be seen that the family properties and cash in its ounts had decreased by eighty percent. Her heart was in so much pain even her teeth were clenched tightly.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t you pampering that girl too much? It¡¯s been said that a daughter marrying out is like spilt water (TN: Once gone unable to be retrieved). At present, she already speaks so domineeringly. It¡¯s very likely that she¡¯ll be a thankless wretch in the future, yet you¡¯re still counting on her to be filial in the future? Save it!¡±


    Taking the opportunity to show Luo Cheng the ount books, Wang Xue Ru immediatelyined, saying that very likely, for the next one or two years, their family will have to live frugally and would even need to sell off a few servants. Otherwise, they simply wouldn¡¯t be able to support suchrge expenses. Listening, the skin on Luo Cheng¡¯s face twitched fiercely.


    ¡°Forget it. In any case, the one Qing Luan is marrying is the Prince of Chu. With a good dowry prepared, the Prince of Chu¡¯s betrothal gifts will naturally also not be few. They won¡¯t be deficient.¡±


    Luo Cheng had just finished speaking when Wang Xue Ru also reacted, knitting her brows. ¡°Oh yeah, it¡¯s been agreed that the wedding date will be the twenty sixth of January. Almost one month had already passed, why hasn¡¯t the Prince of Chu delivered his betrothal gifts? Is it possible that he¡¯s nning not to give any?¡±


    ¡°How¡¯s that possible? No matter what, Nn Ye is a titled prince. The gifts that His Majesty bestowed upon him each year are too many to count. This time, he¡¯s marrying his primary imperial consort. How can there not be any betrothal gifts?¡± With a slight thought, Luo Cheng shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, not only will the betrothal gifts from the Prince¡¯s Mansion be generous, very likely, then that timees, His Majesty will also bestow no small amount. We won¡¯t be at a deficit.¡±


    Right at this time, her personal servant, Ziyu, came in, already panicked and flustered as she entered the door. ¡°Master, Side Madam, not good. The seconddy dressed as a man and left......¡±


    She hadn¡¯t finished speaking when Wang Xue Ru¡¯splexion darkened, ¡°This is an outrage! Master, how can Qing Luan casually leave home at this time? Moreover, she¡¯s even dressed as a man. This is simply......what if someone discovers this. Our General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s reputation will bepletely wrecked by her.¡±


    Luo Cheng stood straight up in fury, ¡°Impudent! Why haven¡¯t you sent someone to bring this girl back here!¡±


    Ziyu promptly replied, ¡°That¡¯s not it, Master, the seconddy already came back. But she......she even brought a woman back. It¡¯s one of the three famous stars from Immortal Dream Tower, Miss Hongyu (¡®Rainbow Jade¡¯).¡±

 Chapter 76.1 - Plan Progressed Without a Hitch

    <h4>Chapter 76a: n Progressed Without a Hitch</h4>


    Wang Xue Ru and Luo Cheng were fully frozen for quite a long time, before they reacted.


    ¡°Master, Immortal Dream Tower......isn¡¯t it a courtesan house?¡± Wang Xue Ru was bbergasted at first, then she became ecstatic, but her face assumed a somewhat puzzled expression. ¡°I heard that ce has been quite lively recently, so noisy that the entire capital knew of it. But Qing Luan is a treasured youngdy, to bring a courtesan home......¡±


    ¡°Simply preposterous!¡±


    With a thunderous roar, Luo Cheng nearly overturned the table, continuing furiously, ¡°This girl is simply out of control. She actually brought a courtesan back to the General¡¯s Mansion. Is she rebelling? She went so far as to associate with this kind of women......I, I¡¯ll beat her to death!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he charged out ashen faced. Watching, Wang Xue Ru and Ziyu looked at each other and smiled. Nodding their heads, they took joy in the cmity and followed after him.


    Luo Cheng couldn¡¯t be any more furious as he headed straight for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s little courtyard, raging hot anger in his heart. In passing, he saw a servant sweeping the courtyard. He snatched the broom from the servant¡¯s hand and directly walked ahead,plexion turning more and more unsightly.


    Thinking about His Majesty having granted this marriage, with the General¡¯s Mansion and Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion bing inws very soon, he¡¯d genuinely climb to be a bigwig. But he never expected that before a month had passed, before the big wedding date, Luo Qing Luan actually sneaked out like that. Moreover, she even brought a courtesan back. She, did she really consider herself to be a man now? She actually associated with this kind of lowly prostitute?


    If Luo Qing Luan was a son, perhaps Luo Cheng still wouldn¡¯t be angry. At most, he¡¯d give him a lecture and be done with it.


    But a daughter could notpare with a son in the end. Only an educated and well-bnced, lovable, sensibledy could fit everyone¡¯s standard. If word of what Luo Qing Luan had done were to spread, not only would this wedding very likely could not be preserved, it was even possible for His Majesty to be furious, reprimanding him for not properly disciplining his daughter, he might even be sentenced with a crime!


    The more he thought, the more rmed he became. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Luo Cheng couldn¡¯t help but divert all of his raging fury towards the perpetrator, Luo Qing Luan. Gripping the broom firmly in his hands, he very quickly already entered the courtyard.


    The indistinct sounds of the zither floated into his ears, like a wisp of smoke, like a strand of mist, like melted snow flowing down from the summit of a high mountain. In a short period of time, it extinguished the fury within Luo Cheng¡¯s heart. He looked around in all directions puzzled, looking for the source of this zither music. This melodious, joyous music was something he¡¯d never heard before. In an instant, it evoked an intense curiosity in him.


    The remodeled little courtyard was no longer as simple and crude as before. The courtyard was changed beyond recognition disying an imposing and elegant style. Luo Cheng suddenly spied a slender, exposed snow white arm. He merely saw that inside the garden pavillion before him, a faintly discernible silhouette was dancing with quick motions.


    Amidst the sharp and clear melodious zither music, that green clothed, graceful and beautiful woman, skin white as snow, eyelids hung down in an indifferent gaze. A graceful and gentle smile rested on the beautiful woman¡¯s face, red lips like cherries, dancing with gentle steps amidst the rotating, blossoming skirt, just like a blooming Chinese peony.


    Her every frown and every smile, her every movement, was like a goddess descending upon the world. Luo Cheng watched with fixated eyes. There was actually such a remarkably stunning woman on earth!


    The raging fury filling his heart already dissipated. He even forgot what he was going to do. Luo Cheng watched stunned. Unconsciously, his hands also rxed their grip and didn¡¯t notice even when the broom fell to the ground. Step by step, he walked forwards, only wanting to see that goddess a bit more clearly. He cautiously and carefully discerned her appearance.


    ¡°Ah¡ª¨C¡±


    Suddenly uttering a soft cry of rm, that dancing young woman identally nced and unexpectedly met Luo Cheng¡¯s gaze. She stopped in ce in rm. Staring at Luo Cheng, she immediately reacted, charming face turning crimson, she quickly turned around in embarrassment and hid behind a pir of the pavillion.


    Having suddenly disappeared, Luo Cheng¡¯s heart became deste and couldn¡¯t help but elerate his footsteps toe over. He was just about to make inquiries when he heard his daughter Luo Qing Luan¡¯s voice. ¡°What happened? Are you not feeling well?¡± Within the pavillion, Luo Qing Luan sat with a zither ced in front of her. She was deeply concerned as she studied that young woman dressed in green. Thetter appeared bashful and timid and was just about to speak, when she looked up and saw Luo Cheng again. She couldn¡¯t help but open her mouth and said in a sweet-sounding soft voice, ¡°He......¡±


    At this time, Luo Qing Luan finally noticed that someone hade. She looked up and seemed to have just discovered that Luo Cheng was standing in front of them. She smiled. ¡°Ah, Father, why are you here?¡±


    She turned towards that young woman dressed in green and smiled. ¡°Hongyu, this is my father.¡± After she finished speaking, she again walked over and paid her respects to Luo Cheng. Straightening up, she said, ¡°Father, this is my friend, Miss Hongyu. With nothing to do today, I made a date for her toe to our home for a visit. Does Father me me?¡±


    Clearly havinge to give a piece of his mind to Luo Qing Luan, Luo Cheng right now found himself without the slightest bit of anger.


    Turns out it¡¯s his daughter¡¯s friend, Miss Hongyu......


    This thought had just shed through his mind when Luo Cheng felt a fragrant breeze brush his face as a green figure drifted over. He barely noticed when Hongyu already stood in front of him, sincerely curtsying, speaking softly. ¡°This young woman, Hongyu, greets General Luo.¡±


    Her voice seemed toe from an oriole, lively and sweet-sounding, even mixed with the gentleness and womanly charm. Luo Cheng¡¯s former panache and arrogance had already been forgotten at some earlier time. He hurriedly extended his hand to help her up at once. ¡°Quickly get up. Miss Hongyu is being too formal.¡±


    He¡¯d just touched that pair of snow white smooth and soft hands when his heart trembled, ecstasy nibbling at his bones. His heart itched in a difficult to endure manner......but the other person immediately withdrew back, as if she was a startled little deer. Yet she stealthily took a nce at him, a fluid nce, beautiful and fascinating, as if ming him for his pawing hands which were too rude, yet also seemed to be extremely bashful at the same time. Watching, Luo Cheng felt his heart thump ceaselessly.

 Chapter 76.2 - Plan Progressed Without a Hitch

    <h4>Chapter 76b: n Progressed Without a Hitch</h4>


    It had already been many years since he experienced this kind of feeling. Luo Cheng was stupefied as he watched Hongyu withdraw again to sit by Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a bout of regret. Why was it that only today could he see this young woman? If he could have known her at an earlier time......


    ¡°Father, what¡¯s going on with you?¡± Luo Qing Luan spoke up, ¡°Did you hear my zither music? What do you think of it?¡± Sheughed, as if she didn¡¯t notice Luo Cheng¡¯s absent-mindedness at all.


    Luo Cheng finally became thoroughly sober, yet nced again at the bowing Hongyu, reluctant to part. He then nodded and replied, ¡°Mn. Just now, I was up ahead chatting with your Father¡¯s Concubine and heard the sound of your zither. That¡¯s why I came to take a look. I didn¡¯t expect that you actually have a friend visiting.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan nodded, and responded obediently, ¡°Mn. I recently have been diligently increasing my practices, but felt that ying music by myself was somewhat uninteresting. I recalled that Hongyu wasn¡¯t bad at dancing, so I set up a date for her to visit. Having two people is also more lively.¡±


    Hongyu also recovered her normal appearance after her ¡®panic¡¯ and spoke softly, ¡°I¡¯ve turned up without being invited. Thank you, General Luo, for not ming me.¡±


    ¡°How can I, how can I.¡± Luo Chengughed and had not finished speaking when Wang Xue Ru and Ziyu finally quickly arrived after chasing him. Once they entered the pavillion and saw the young woman dressed in green sitting together with Luo Qing Luan, they noticed her picturesque appearance and the flirtatious expressions across her face. Wang Xue Ru immediately shouted with a faceful of disgust. ¡°Aiya, sure enough it¡¯s you!¡±


    ¡°Master, this girl sure have the guts. She actually made her way to our General¡¯s Mansion.¡±


    Without waiting for Luo Cheng to open his mouth, Wang Xue Ru already spoke in a huff, ¡°Qing Luan, you¡¯re a noble daughter from the General¡¯s Mansion. How can you get mixed up with this kind of woman from the brothels. You even brought her here? If His Lordship the Prince of Chu were to find out, I¡¯m afraid that you......¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± With a deep shout, Luo Cheng already broke her words up and continued inwardly angry, ¡°Miss Hongyu came as a guest, how can you speak like that?¡±


    Completely not anticipating that Luo Cheng would actually change his attitude. Just now, he was still wishing that he could beat Luo Qing Luan to death. Who would¡¯ve thought that in the twinkling of an eye, he would change. Wang Xue Ru looked at Luo Cheng in disbelief, ¡°Master, she, she¡¯s indeed a woman from the brothels. She¡¯s so contemptible, our General¡¯s Mansion......¡±


    ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, how can you say such things of Hongyu? She¡¯s my friend and came as a guest.¡± Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but speak out and exin.


    ¡°What friend or whatever?¡± Wang Xue Ru coldly jeered, casting a despising nce at Hongyu before continuing, ¡°Qing Luan, it¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but you¡¯re a youngdy in the General¡¯s Mansion. Your status is respected. How can you associate with this kind of servile women? If the Prince of Chu¡¯s people were to find out, would he not be angry.¡±


    Already having anticipated such a situation, and having waited for such a moment to arrive, Luo Qing Luan smirked in her heart, yet her face didn¡¯t reveal anything. She opened her mouth to reply, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, you can¡¯t say those things, Hongyu is as clear as ice and as clean as jade. She sells her art, not her body. Even His Majesty¡¯s previous tutor, Venerable Teacher Wang, also praises Hongyu for her principles and incorruptibility. Father¡¯s Concubine, how can you make general assumptions?¡±


    ¡°Qing Luan, don¡¯t speak anymore. I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve implicated you.¡± Hongyu was no longer able to sit still, blushing across her entire face, as if she wanted to cry. She stood up and turned towards Wang Xue Ru to curtsy and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, General¡¯s Madam, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s not good. I don¡¯t deserve to associate with the Second Lady. I beseech the Madam to forgive me.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you know. Hurry and get lost.¡± Wang Xue Ruughed coldly, pleased with herself from the bottom of her heart. She turned and looked at Luo Qing Luan again, ¡°Qing Luan, in the future, you should stop getting mixed up with these women from the brothels. Properly stay at home......¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Finally unable to endure, Luo Cheng showed no quarter as he bellowed, so angry that he trembled from head to toe. ¡°This woman. How can you talk like that? Your mouth is full of filthy speech, totally scandalous! How has Miss Hongyu offended you that you speak of her so maliciously? Even Venerable Teacher Wang praised her, yet you actually look down upon Miss Hongyu. Is it possible that you canpare with Venerable Teacher Wang? Get out of here and return to your Graceful Orchid Courtyard to reflect upon yourself!¡±


    ¡°Master, you......¡± Wang Xue Ru was shocked.


    She rushed over impatiently for the sake of seeing Luo Qing Luan and that Courtesan Hongyu get lectured, to watch the way Luo Cheng bawled Luo Qing Luan out. Who would have thought that at present, not only was Luo Cheng not angry, he even scolded her instead. It was simply unbelievable.


    ¡°What are you looking at. Still not leaving?!¡± Berated again, Wang Xue Ru finally realized that Luo Cheng wasn¡¯t speaking randomly. Rather, he was truly angry. A face full of resentment, Wang Xue Ru was flushed with anger. She finally left crestfallen.


    Left just like that? Luo Qing Luan felt a bit as if she hadn¡¯t seen enough. She originally thought Wang Xue Ru would continue to fight back. She didn¡¯t expect that she left in such a short time. However, it¡¯s still fine. Everything had progressed the way she anticipated. Sure enough, this father of hers, once heid eyes on the meticulously dressed up Hongyu, he indeed became so infatuated that he could no longer tell where north was.


    The rest of the n very likely would go off without a hitch. Still, she wasn¡¯t anxious. Let¡¯s take things step by step.


    Luo Cheng was totally unaware. Once he turned around, his face disyed an apology as he said to Hongyu, ¡°Miss Hongyu, I¡¯m truly sorry to have you watch this joke. Please don¡¯t take what just happened to heart. I¡¯m apologizing in her ce.¡± After speaking, he cupped his hands in an apology.


    ¡°I can¡¯t ept this, General Luo.¡± Hongyu quickly walked over, and nced at him gratefully before continuing, ¡°That General Luo is able to look upon me without that kind of profane gaze already makes me extremely happy. General Luo is indeed a hero among heroes. I¡¯m in admiration.¡±


    ¡°Heh heh heh, Miss Hongyu is too polite.¡±


    ¡°Alright, now. Everything¡¯s good, Hongyu. Let¡¯s return to my room and chat.¡± Luo Qing Luan came to pull Hongyu away as she nodded towards Luo Cheng before saying lovably, ¡°Father, we¡¯re going in then.¡±


    Watching Hongyu¡¯s receding back figure, Luo Cheng was reluctant to move his gaze away until the woman¡¯s figure became obstructed by a flowering tree. When he could not see her anymore, he finally retracted his gaze mncholically.

 Chapter 77.1 - Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine

    <h4>Chapter 77a: Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine</h4>


    The sound of footsteps finally receded far away as Luo Qing Luan closed the door carefully. Turning around, her face was filled with craftiness andcency.


    ¡°Hongyu, thank you.¡± Smiling as she walked over, Luo Qing Luan sat down. Holding the other¡¯s soft hands, she continued, ¡°Just now, Father¡¯s Concubine said those things to you. I¡¯m truly sorry.¡±


    Having already talked things over with Luo Qing Luan and moreover, they¡¯d already calcted that there would be this scene, Hongyu smiled sweetly and quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Why are you being polite? If it wasn¡¯t for your help, I wouldn¡¯t have today. The Master already told me that I have to help you. I¡¯m also perfectly happy to do so.¡±


    Without the slightest bit of refined timidity she disyed earlier, Hongyu recovered her originally imposing carefree character. As for this girl before her who was a bit younger than she, she sincerely admired the young girl. Recalling those ideas which recently had been implemented at Immortal Dream Tower, she wouldn¡¯t have been able toe up with even one of those ideas. Moreover, only now did she find out that Mister Luo was actually a Miss Luo......it truly was too unexpected.


    As for the help this time, she¡¯s merely returning the favor a little bit, that¡¯s all, so she naturally coordinated wholeheartedly.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shed. Recalling what just happened, she couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. ¡°Ha ha, Hongyu, didn¡¯t I say that Father¡¯s Concubine would use this pretext to pick fault with me? Look at how unpleasant her scolding was, yet in the end, when my father scolded her, that shocked appearance was truly funny. You don¡¯t know it, but my father has never scolded her like that before.¡±


    Knitting her brows, Hongyu hesitated a little, ¡°But Miss Luo, us doing that......what if everything truly blows up, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not good. Madam Luo has such a temper, what if she became furious and vented her anger on you?¡±


    ¡°How can she be considered a madam? In the end, isn¡¯t she merely a concubine, nothing more?¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently, not caring in the least. ¡°Hongyu, don¡¯t you worry. She simply won¡¯t dare to do anything to me. However, this matter requires your help in the end. I¡¯m causing you to suffer. If you¡¯re not willing, there¡¯s still time to back out right now. I won¡¯t me you.¡±


    Without further consideration, Hongyu replied resolutely, ¡°Miss Luo, you¡¯ve granted me great favors. If it wasn¡¯t for those ideas of yours at that time, I¡¯m afraid that my position within Immortal Dream Tower would not have allowed my body to remain pure. I¡¯m merely paying back a little right now. I¡¯ll definitely help you with this.¡±


    In regards to this n, Luo Qing Luan already thought everything out clearly. She was barely getting started. First, have her father get to know Hongyu to stir up Wang Xue Ru¡¯s anger and jealousy. What followed after was the key. In order to take revenge for her mother, she needed Wang Xue Ru to have a proper taste of suffering. Finally, she needed to have her live a life wishing she were dead.


    The n needed to progress step by step in order to be aplished. She needed to sacrifice a few people. In the end, Luo Qing Luan was a bit unable to bear it as she said in a low voice, ¡°Hongyu, you need to think everything through carefully. This isn¡¯t a small matter. Moreover, it rtes to your lifetime of happiness. Once you make a mistake, you may suffer for a lifetime.¡±


    Hongyu smiled slightly, as a trace of sadness shed through her exceptionally graceful appearance. At Immortal Dream Tower, she¡¯s the goddess that countless numbers of men trip over each other in order to curry her favor, but in reality, once she removed thisyer of pretense, she was merely a pathetic courtesan living in a brothel.


    If their n was truly sessful, then perhaps she could find a ce to call home. As for whether she could grasp the opportunity, that depended upon her fate.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already thought it over, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have agreed. I certainly wouldn¡¯t have followed Miss Luo to the General¡¯s Mansion.¡± Hongyu¡¯s beautiful eyes sparkled as a trace of resolution was exposed among the feelings contained in her teary eyes. She spoke one word at a time, ¡°Helping you is also helping myself. Therefore, let us continue.¡±


    ......


    Hongyu stayed at the General¡¯s Mansion for three consecutive days before leaving. Each day, if she wasn¡¯t dancing gayly in the courtyard, she exhibited her grace by apanying Luo Qing Luan in paying respects to Luo Cheng. She deliberately disyed her charms and allure. When they interacted alone, she was even more attractive. Every frown and every smile made Luo Cheng stare enraptured and recall fondly.


    Naturally, Luo Qing Luan pretended to not see anything. She even deliberately created opportunities for the two of them to be alone. Luo Cheng was totally unaware that he had fallen into a well designed trap. He became increasingly moved by Hongyu. In merely three short days, he had already fallen in deeply.


    After being careful not to overdo it, Hongyu returned to Immortal Dream Tower. Luo Cheng felt despondent, so much so that he tried to detain her in Wang Xue Ru¡¯s presence. Wang Xue Ru was so angry that her face nearly distorted beyond recognition. As for Luo Qing Luan, the girl who brought this woman into the General¡¯s Mansion, she hated her to the bone.


    On this day, Wang Xue Ru waited until Luo Cheng went to the imperial court, before she immediately brought Ziyu and imposingly hurried to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s courtyard in an excited manner. Once she saw the girl eating in a carefree manner, while Dai Yue was unexpectedly also sitting down, seeing the mistress and servant¡¯s intimacy made the loathing in her heart grow even more.


    ¡°Simply no rules at all. A servant actually shared a meal with her mistress. If others were to learn of this, they would think that our General¡¯s Mansion ispletely discipline less!¡± Wang Xue Ru was originally deliberately looking for trouble. Herplexion darkened as she coldly ordered, ¡°Ziyu, beat her up for me!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Side Madam!¡±


    Ziyu epted the order, and immediately stepped forward to pull Dai Yue. Thetter hadn¡¯t reacted, face full of confusion, when she saw Ziyu charge towards her with raised hand.


    Seeing this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion changed as she shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±


    But Ziyu simply didn¡¯t listen to her and continued to p. She even fiercely kicked Dai Yue, who was caught off guard, to the ground. She lifted her foot to step on her when a fine white hand extended and pulled her wrist to a stop. Ziyu actually couldn¡¯t control herself and was severely flung to one side by Luo Qing Luan, falling onto the ground.

 Chapter 77.2 - Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine

    <h4>Chapter 77b: Finding Luo Cheng a Concubine</h4>


    This scene happened too quickly. In the twinkling of an eye the circumstances reversed. Wang Xue Ru was just about to berate her when Luo Qing Luan already stood in front of her with a calm expression. ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine really went a bit overboard. This is my room. You didn¡¯t give notice and just charged inside, even wanting to beat up my servant. Under what justification?¡±


    Having always been waiting for Wang Xue Ru toe looking for trouble, Luo Qing Luan originally even thought that the other would n meticulously before taking action. Unexpectedly, Wang Xue Ru simply couldn¡¯t wait. Lou Chen


    g had barely left when she came knocking. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the other¡¯s impatience.


    She had been waiting already. Now that Wang Xue Ru rushed to jump into the pit herself, herst name would no longer be ¡®Luo¡¯ if she couldn¡¯t make the other suffer bitterly!


    Wang Xue Ru had also been restraining her anger because of Hongyu¡¯s matter. At present, she actually came to teach Luo Qing Luan a lesson. Even a matter as small as a sesame seed could be erged endlessly. How could she pass by an opportunity she nned so hard to obtain?


    With an emotionless expression, assuming an imposing manner of someone from an older generation, Wang Xue Ru said, ¡°Qing Luan, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m purposefully berating your servant. Our General¡¯s Mansion has its rules after all. A servant is a servant, a mistress is a mistress. How can the two positions be confused, sitting together to have a meal?¡±


    After a pause, she smiled slightly. A severely strict light shed through her eyes. ¡°However, let¡¯s forget about today. In consideration of you, I won¡¯t ask whether that servant was to be beaten or scolded. As a mistress, you could just discipline her yourself. Father¡¯s Concubine came today because of something important. There¡¯s one more month until you¡¯re to be married. This is a big affair, therefore, there can¡¯t be the slightest bit of carelessness. Therefore, Father¡¯s Concubine invited a nanny from the imperial pce, so that she can properly teach you customs and avoid you making a fool of yourself after you marry into the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion. That wouldn¡¯t be good.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she pped her hands. Immediately, an olddy dressed in blue entered from outside. Wrinkles covered her entire face and her thin figure. Even though she was all smiles as she looked at Luo Qing Luan, as before, she made people feel unwell. With a nce, one could thoroughly see through the harshness she was hiding.


    ¡°Greetings, the second Miss Luo.¡± The olddy curtsied towards her, grinning from ear to ear. Casting a sidelong nce, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t pay any more attention to her. Instead, she was more interested in the way Wang Xue Ru acted first before reporting.


    Only an opponent who fought back would be enjoyable!


    If Wang Xue Ru could so easily be killed with a p of her hand, then it truly wouldn¡¯t be worth her effort in thinking of a n to deal with her. This vicious woman who killed her mother. Even though it was because her own status wasn¡¯t high that she¡¯d never be the main wife, in the end, she was still a schemer.


    ¡°Teach me some customs?¡± Looking at Wang Xue Ru indifferently, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue leave, before she opened her mouth to say, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, before you invited someone, have you told Father? Can it be that Father¡¯s Concubine feel that I¡¯m not well-behaved and don¡¯t know etiquette?¡±


    Wang Xue Ru smiled very gently and the voice she spoke with was even softened, as if she truly cared about and cherished this stepdaughter of hers. ¡°Qing Luan, look at how far you¡¯ve misunderstood? Father¡¯s Concubine is merely concerned about you, that¡¯s all. You¡¯re getting married to the Prince of Chu, not some ordinary person, especially during this time, there can¡¯t be the slightest bit of a mistake. Otherwise, what if something were to go wrong, you won¡¯t be the only one who will be humiliated, even your father will be involved. The entire General¡¯s Mansion, and even the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion may be implicated!¡±


    ¡°Therefore, those etiquette and what not will be properly taught by Nanny Zhang beginning today. Qing Luan, you have to learn conscientiously.¡±


    Her skin deep warm smiling expression made Luo Qing Luan profoundly feel Wang Xue Ru¡¯s hypocritical and vicious intentions. On the surface, it¡¯s for her own good, but with one look, she knew that it was in fact for the sake of messing with her that the woman deliberately invited this Nanny Zhang from who knows where.


    This matter of teaching customs was in fact full of tricks. For even something as simple as walking, as long as someone intended to mess with somebody, this Nanny Zhang could have her practice a hundred times, enough walking to make her back and legs painful with cramps! She certainly wasn¡¯t that dumb, to actually consent to learning etiquette.


    Therefore, Luo Qing Luan casted a nce at Wang Xue Ru as light as a feather as she stated, emotionlessly, ¡°That won¡¯t do. I¡¯m busy these days. There¡¯s no time.¡±


    Knowing Luo Qing Luan wanted to decline, Wang Xue Ru immediately retorted, ¡°No. I already told your father about this matter of learning customs. Your father also said that you have to learn. That¡¯s why I invited Nanny Zhang. From today onward, you need to learn from Nanny Zhang. From walking, bearing, including embroidery, those feminine arts. Everything needs to be learned.¡±


    ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, I¡¯m really sorry. I truly don¡¯t have the time to learn these things.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan simply paid her no heed. Instead, she sneered slightly and continued, ¡°In a moment, Hongyu will being to visit me. She said that she admires Father greatly and would like to dance and sing for Father here, to cheer him up a bit. I¡¯m thinking that Mother has passed away for such a long time now, while Father¡¯s Concubine is busy. Father has worked so hard. Wouldn¡¯t it be good to give Father a few more concubines to serve him. Hongyu is not bad.¡±


    Eyes suddenly opening wide, Wang Xue Ru sharply yelled in disbelief, ¡°What did you say? Find a concubine for your father? That woman from the brothel?¡±


    She never thought that Luo Qing Luan would actually say these things. As a daughter, not only did she not guard her father for the sake of her deceased mother. On the contrary, she even wants to find concubines for her father and even in the presence of this Father¡¯s Concubine? Wasn¡¯t this clearly the same as pping her in the face?


    Immediately so angry that her face turned red, Wang Xue Ru practically jumped up as she pointed her trembling finger at Luo Qing Luan and said, ¡°Luo Qing Luan,st time, I already felt that something was fishy when you brought that courtesan home. It turns out you¡¯re deliberately looking for a woman to annoy me? You, a sheltered youngdy who has yet to marry is actually looking for a concubine for your father? Have you no shame?¡±

 Chapter 78.1 - Angrily Rebuke Luo Cheng

    <h4>Chapter 78a: Angrily Rebuke Luo Cheng</h4>


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion darkened as she coldly said, ¡°What Father¡¯s Concubine is saying is wrong. What¡¯s wrong with being concerned about my father as his daughter? Tell me, Father¡¯s Concubine, you and father have been together for so many years, yet you haven¡¯t given birth to a son for him. Without a son, the Luo family won¡¯t have any sessors. My helping father take a concubine is for the sake of the Luo family sprouting branches and scattering leaves. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±


    ¡°You you you......¡± Wang Xue Ru was so angry she nearly couldn¡¯t talk straight.


    Even after making a thousand calctions and ten thousand calctions, racking her brains to scheme against this girl, she didn¡¯t expect that she¡¯d been pped by the opposing party. When was there ever something like a daughter finding a concubine for her father? Moreover, the justification was even honorable and aboveboard. Her not having a son was originally her sore point. Now that it¡¯s been put to words by the girl she loathed the most, she was nearly angry enough to die!


    Casting sidelong nces at Nanny Zhang, whoseplexion also simrly changed, Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly, ¡°That¡¯s why, Father¡¯s Concubine, I¡¯m truly not free. In a moment, Hongyu will be arriving. I even have to prepare her to wait for Father toe home. As for little matters like learning etiquette, Nn Ye already said that he doesn¡¯t care for it. As long as I agree to marry him, it¡¯s fine. Therefore Father¡¯s Concubine don¡¯t need to worry on my behalf.¡±


    ¡°Luo, Qing, Luan!¡± As if every single word was spit out through clenched teeth, Wang Xue Ru¡¯splexion turned red as she ferociously brushed her sleeve and said, ¡°You dare to find a woman from the brothels to stress me out. You did this on purpose, right? I¡¯m going to beat you to death......¡±


    Seeing her already raising her two hands sinisterly, Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion instantly darkened as she responded coldly, ¡°What, Father¡¯s Concubine wants to beat me up?¡±


    Wang Xue Ru replied severely, ¡°You dare to find a concubine for your father and I¡¯ll dare to beat you up!¡±


    ¡°You dare!¡± Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan raised her voice as a cold demon¡¯s aura radiated from all over her body. She looked at Wang Xue Ru chillingly, ¡°I¡¯m the future Princess of Chu. A little concubine from the General¡¯s Mansion like you actually dares to hit me? You¡¯re truly rebelling!¡±


    As if it was the first cudgel, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s hand raised up high froze stiffly in midair, unable to strike downwards no matter how.


    The future Princess of Chu! Princess of Chu!


    As if at this time, she finally called to mind Luo Qing Luan¡¯s status, no longer the unfavored Fifth Prince¡¯s fiancee, but rather the respected and glorious favored Prince of Chu, his Lordship¡¯s imperial consort. In merely over a month¡¯s time, Luo Qing Luan will be the majestic Princess of Chu. Not only would this girl receive the respectful address of ¡®Princess of Chu¡¯ from numerous women rted to imperial court officials, even as her father¡¯s concubine, she would still have to bow her head to this girl as required by customs!


    This was status!


    Even though her birth daughter Luo Qing Shuang was married to Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen. Moreover, she was even carrying a child, she barely was able to be a side concubine. Last time, when she met Madam Sun, the wife of five cities¡¯ envoy for the military department, she was hindered from speaking due to status. At present,paring her to Luo Qing Luan is likeparing earth to heaven.


    That chilly, cold and aloof pretty face was within reach and appeared so high and lofty disying an imposing manner. Wang Xue Ru felt an increasingck of confidence. Her hands couldn¡¯t help but rxed downward. Her previous fierce and monstrous appearance also vanished ordingly.


    ¡°What, Father¡¯s Concubine is not hitting me? Since it¡¯s like that, then I¡¯d still like to wait for Hongyu toe. I won¡¯t keep Father¡¯s Concubine any longer. Take care, I won¡¯t be seeing you out.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan returned to her desk and sat down and immediately added, ¡°I¡¯d like to trouble Father¡¯s Concubine to send away this Nanny Zhang or something. In the future, don¡¯t casually find some random person toe again.¡±


    Finally no longer able to maintain her expression,plexion alternating between red and white, without saying a single word, Wang Xue Ru trembled violently from head to toe and finally left crestfallen under Ziyu¡¯s support.


    Returning to Graceful Orchid Pavilion, Wang Xue Ru finally thoroughly gave vent to her stifled anger.


    After throwing and breaking four or five teacups in a row, she even took out a plum vase she stored in the treasures pavilion and smashed it, before a bit of anger could be considered to have been barely dissipated. Within her courtyard, Wang Xue Ru let loose curses, but once she recalled Luo Qing Luan¡¯s icily arrogant expression and unrestrained speech her anger came again unbid.


    ¡°Side Madam, don¡¯t be angry. Now that the seconddy is going to be married to the Prince of Chu, we truly can no longerpete with her even in terms of status.¡± Ziyu persuaded solemnly and cautiously, ¡°Let¡¯s forget it. Things are very different with the seconddy now. What if she caused trouble again next time. Side Madam, you¡¯ll......¡±


    ¡°What, can it be that I¡¯ll have to yield to her?¡± Wang Xue Ru was utterly difited. ¡°But I¡¯m her father¡¯s concubine, father¡¯s concubine! She¡¯s actually so unfilial and dared to talk to me like that? Surprisingly, she even dares to find a minor concubine for her father?¡±


    The more she thought about it, the more unresigned she became. Furthermore, when all was said and done, she truly couldn¡¯t look on helplessly as Luo Qing Luan brought that Hongyu and stuffed her through the door.


    She already took notest time. The gaze with which Luo Cheng looked at that woman from the brothels was very ambiguous. He was clearly tempted. That old fart. He¡¯s already old yet his heart wouldn¡¯t grow old. Was it possible that he truly wanted to take in a concubine? Absolutely uneptable!


    With a malevolent expression, her fingers coated with cinnabar red polish clenched tightly. Wang Xue Ru gloomily and coldly muttered, ¡°Damn girl, you truly think that I can¡¯t do anything to you, right? I¡¯m merely your father¡¯s concubine and don¡¯t dare to do anything to you, but Luo Cheng is your father. Even if you be the Princess of Chu, you¡¯ll still have to bow your head in a well-behaved manner in front of Luo Cheng!¡±


    ......


    After two hours, Luo Cheng returned from imperial court session. He¡¯d just entered the house when he was blocked by Ziyu, who was already guarding the door at an earlier time. She anxiously rushed to face Luo Cheng, ¡°Master, not good. The side madam is ill!¡±

 Chapter 78.2 - Angrily Rebuke Luo Cheng

    <h4>Chapter 78b: Angrily Rebuke Luo Cheng</h4>


    When he left the court session Luo Cheng was surrounded by a few colleagues who had a lot to say. They were all envious of his two daughters who were marrying well. Their speeches caused him to burst with joy and be pleased with himself. He didn¡¯t expect that the instant he came home and would hear this news. He couldn¡¯t help but be rmed. ¡°What? Wasn¡¯t she just fine yesterday, how can she be ill now?¡±


    Recalling that when he left the house earlier, Wang Xue Ru was also awake, yet there was nothing unusual about her? How could she be ill so quickly. Did she encounter some medical emergency?


    Ziyu quickly exined. ¡°That¡¯s not it. After Side Madam went to see Second Lady, she came back ill. I¡¯m afraid that she......she was angered by the seconddy.¡±


    Immediately recalling how Luo Qing Luan¡¯s personality had changed quite a bit recently, no longer the timid and yielding person she was before. Instead, she¡¯d be opinionated, intelligent andpetent, causing him to be increasingly satisfied. Luo Cheng frowned. Could it be that this Qing Luan messed with something and made Wang Xue Ru mad?


    Speeding up his footsteps as he entered Graceful Orchid Courtyard, he hadn¡¯t entered the bedroom when he heard the deep sound of weeping and entered to take a look. Wang Xue Ru¡¯splexion was deathly pale, her face smeared with tear stains all over as she reclined on the bed, as if barely alive.


    Seeing her, he immediately became worried and hurried to sit by her bedside as he said, ¡°Xue Ru, what¡¯s happening with you? Are you feeling ill?¡±


    Easily waiting until he came home, Wang Xue Ru immediately sobbed spasmodically and opened her mouth to fade a groan, ¡°Mas, Master......I¡¯m not going to make it, you......you need to take good care of yourself in the future. I, I don¡¯t have the good fortune of waiting upon you......¡±


    ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying!¡±


    Luo Cheng was distraught with anxiety and promptly gripped her hand, ¡°What in the world happened. Weren¡¯t you just fine a moment ago? Haven¡¯t I merely attended imperial court. Why is it that you¡¯re like this when I returned?¡±


    Standing by the side, Ziyu quickly bbed, ¡°There¡¯s something Master doesn¡¯t know. Side Madam went to see Second Lady just now. Originally, she kindly brought Nanny Zhang to go teach Second Lady etiquette, so as to avoid making mistakes during the wedding. The side madam was truly filled with good intentions, but not only was the Second Lady grateful, she instead gave the side madam a scolding. She said that Side Madam is merely father¡¯s concubine and is not fit to manage her matters.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true, Master......¡± Wang Xue Ru twitched a couple of times, then wept out loud. Grabbing Luo Cheng¡¯s hand, she said, ¡°You know already, that daughter of yours......is relying upon her uing marriage with the Prince of Chu to have me not mind her business in the future. It¡¯s nothing if it¡¯s like this, but she even said......¡±


    Luo Cheng heard and got really angry. At once, he bellowed furiously, ¡°That rebellious girl. She¡¯s simply uncontroble. What else did she say?¡±


    ¡°She said that I¡¯ve been married to Master for many years, yet haven¡¯t given birth to a son for you. The Luo family is going to be extinct!¡± Wang Xue Ru rigidly grabbed Luo Cheng¡¯s hand, gnashing her teeth in anger as she pronounced each word at a time, ¡°That good daughter of yours, she wants to supply you a concubine, and then infuriate me to death! Master, I truly don¡¯t want to live anymore¡ª¡±


    As she spoke, she sobbed loudly, world shakingly. Listening, Luo Cheng was both shocked and furious.


    There was actually something like this? Simply outrageous,wless, undisciplined and out of control!


    Previously, he even thought that Luo Qing Luan was obedient and sensible. He didn¡¯t expect that in a blink, she would stir up such a matter! As a daughter, not only did she infuriate her father¡¯s concubine to death, she even wants to supply her father with a concubine. How could she have such nerves?


    No longer able to sit still, Luo Cheng got up and made a beeline for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s residence.


    Knowing that Wang Xue Ru would tell on her, Luo Qing Luan was already waiting for Luo Cheng toe early on. Moreover, this was her n to begin with, so she¡¯d need to carry it out step by step. She rushed to stand in front of Luo Cheng before his scolding could leave his mouth. Her entire face was smiling as she said, ¡°Father, you¡¯vee. I was going to look for you.¡±


    ¡°You still have the face to see me?¡± Luo Cheng brushed his sleeve fiercely, suddenly angry. ¡°You¡¯re well aware of what you¡¯ve done. I even thought that since you¡¯re about to be the Princess of Chu, you should¡¯ve be more sensible and filial. I didn¡¯t expect that you actually......actually......¡±


    So angry that he was about to explode, it took awhile before he could control himself. Luo Cheng was so angry that hisplexion was flushed, ¡°Quickly go and apologize to your father¡¯s concubine. Kneel in front of her and admit your error. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you to death today!¡±


    Luo Qing Luan merely nked out for a moment before Luo Cheng roared, ¡°Did you hear me, still not leaving? You really want to be beaten to death, right?¡±


    Originally, she only intended to make Wang Xue Ru angry and have her suffer for a bit. Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t expect that for Wang Xue Ru¡¯s sake, Luo Cheng wanted to beat her to death? Even though he couldn¡¯t really beat her to death, nevertheless, this kind of subconsciously spoken words proved even more that the position she upied in Luo Cheng¡¯s heart could notpare with Wang Xue Ru¡¯s.


    Not distinguishing between right and wrong, and also without rifying what in the world happened, her father already said that he wanted to beat her to death!


    Without feeling cold and also without feeling pain in her heart, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart already no longer regarded Luo Cheng as her father. Not only was she not afraid, she furthermore didn¡¯t kneel to admit her error. On the contrary, with a cold expression, she said unyieldingly, ¡°Father¡¯s going to beat me to death?¡±


    Luo Cheng scolded without the slightest hesitation, ¡°Rebellious girl, you¡¯re bing more and more undisciplined and out of control. Are you truly relying on your future status tomit outrages?¡±


    Heart already cold, tears already used up, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s turned apathetic in a sh as she said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m indeed undisciplined and out of control, so what? Compared to a dotard like Father, who has been keptpletely in the dark by someone for ten plus years, who has taken his personal enemy to be his close rtive! No matter what I say, at least I¡¯m living with a clear understanding, unlike you. Once Mother passed away, you¡¯ve already forgotten her. For so many years, have you ever thought of Mother, have you already cleanly forgotten her?¡±When he left the court session Luo Cheng was surrounded by a few colleagues who had a lot to say. They were all envious of his two daughters who were marrying well. Their speeches caused him to burst with joy and be pleased with himself. He didn¡¯t expect that the instant he came home and would hear this news. He couldn¡¯t help but be rmed. ¡°What? Wasn¡¯t she just fine yesterday, how can she be ill now?¡±

 Chapter 79.1 - Sinister Plan

    <h4>Chapter 79a: Sinister n</h4>


    Once he thought of the beloved wife who¡¯d passed away for fifteen years, Luo Cheng suddenly became even more furious. ¡°You still dare to mention this! If it wasn¡¯t for you, would your mother die from the difficult birth? At the time, I asked the midwife to do her utmost to save her. No matter at what cost, I would still pay it, but the oue......¡±


    Speaking to this point, Luo Cheng trembled from head to toe as he pointed at Luo Qing Luan and yelled, ¡°Your mother insisted on protecting you and would rather go die! You¡¯re the one who caused your mother to die, you jinx!¡± Having said this, he then raised his hand up high fiercely.


    He pped down severely. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s snow white face immediately disyed a red imprint. It hurt so much that her gaze trembled. Not only did she not cry, her heart hardened instead as she rubbed her face and smiled coldly. ¡°Fine, Father! You finally hit me again, heh heh......during these fifteen years, how many times have you hit me, do you still remember?¡±


    The cold and chilly words waspletely devoid of any hint of anger. Instead and strange tranquilness appeared. Luo Cheng suddenly recalled that the daughter before him already was no longer merely his daughter. She was also the future Princess of Chu, a status that was even more noble than his own.


    He suddenly regretted it. Luo Cheng looked at his own hand, not believing that he had truly lost his rationality and carried out the p.


    ¡°Qing Luan, Father......Father doesn¡¯t really want to hit you......¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already been done. What more is there to exin?¡± Luo Qing Luan was so serene that it was scary. She pronounced each word slowly, ¡°In any case, this already isn¡¯t the first time that you hit me. So what if you hit me one more time? No matter how much effort I make. No matter what extent I change myself, I¡¯ll still forever fail to change my position in your heart.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not true, Qing Luan, Father, Father is only being impulsive.¡±


    Recalling how he had lost control just now and hit the future Princess of Chu, Luo Cheng panicked and attempted to exin. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t mentioned your mother, Father also wouldn¡¯t have lost my sanity and hit you. Qing Luan, this, this matter is really a pain in Father¡¯s heart. Will you forgive your father?¡±


    Hearing Luo Cheng¡¯s feeble and weak exnation, Luo Qing Luan knew that he was only worried about Nn Ye finding out and ming him. That¡¯s why he regretted it. As for the words Luo Cheng spoke, she and him are merely rted by blood. As for the most important love between father and daughter, it had already nearly been exhausted early on.


    Expression chillingly cold, Luo Qing Luan calmly watched the flustered Luo Cheng, seemingly quite heartbroken over her deceased mother. Father had already been deceived by Wang Xue Ru¡¯s dishonest rhetoric, andpletely didn¡¯t suspect anything. At present, he even hit her because of a few instigating words from Wang Xue Ru. Without asking about anything, also without in regards to what she might be feeling. Having this kind of father was truly tantamount to having none!


    ¡°I don¡¯t me you for hitting me. Truly. Even if you drive me away from the family, I still won¡¯t be sad in the least.¡± Luo Qing Luan spoke emotionlessly, the pain on her face apparently already faded away, but her heart was numb with cold. At this moment, those words which she had held back for a long time was unwilling to continue to be hidden. Even if it¡¯s thest try at waking up this stubborn, yet stupid man.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that, Father, if there is to be one day when you find out that your enemy has been sharing a bed with you for fifteen years, how will you feel?¡±


    Luo Cheng¡¯s eyebrows knit deeply. The bit of guilt from his reckless anger just now has already been reced with suspicion in the blink of an eye. He totally was unable to understand what Luo Qing Luan was saying. Would words like ¡®sharing a bed¡¯ be something that an unmarried young girl should say?


    But because of his recent impulse to hit her, Luo Cheng in the end still restrained his temper as he stiffened his face and said, ¡°Qing Luan, you¡¯re getting married soon, you ought to abide by our customs and properly prepare. You haven¡¯t been doing anything eptable all day and even angered your father¡¯s concubine. Right now, you even say these random nonsensical things. If word were to spread, it¡¯d be bad for your reputation, understand?¡±


    Seeing that Luo Cheng actually still had not suspected anything, Luo Qing Luan truly wanted to give up. She said coldly, ¡°Father, it seems that you¡¯re truly a dotard. Is it possible that you¡¯ve never thought about why Mother died giving birth to me, why she suffered postnatal metrorrhagia, why she died so miserably!¡±


    Pupils constricting, Luo Cheng suddenly clenched his fists and retorted, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    He¡¯d never suspected anything before. Even at that time, he also merely felt pain and distress. After his beloved wife passed away, he used alcohol to drown his sorrows. From the start, a woman giving birth was indeed the same as traveling through the gates of hell. A difficult birth was even more so nine parts death and one part life. Although he was unwilling to let go, both the midwife and the doctor said that the birth was difficult. Therefore, when the mishap urred, he was already mentally prepared.


    Yet now, fifteen yearster, his daughter, Luo Qing Luan, actually said these things. Can it be she¡¯s pointing out that there¡¯s a problem with what happened at the time?


    ¡°You surely can¡¯t imagine that the person who killed Mother is the woman who slept by your side for fifteen years, Wang Xue Ru!¡± When she spoke to this point, Luo Qing Luan clearly saw Luo Cheng¡¯s disbelieving shock, as dumb as a wooden chicken, yet she didn¡¯t stop at all as she continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can should recall what Wang Xue Ru was doing at the time. You should have some suspicions from that.¡±


    ¡°During these fifteen years, of all of the servants who used to wait upon Mother, how many remains? Where is midwife who helped Mother deliver at the time as well as the doctor now? It¡¯s possible if we were to say that one or two of them has died, but everyone who was rted to Mother are totally gone. Father, don¡¯t you feel suspicious?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan smiled mncholically, shaking her head. ¡°You¡¯ve already been hoodwinked by Wang Xue Ru. How can you suspect her? Even if Wang Xue Ru has formerly wanted to kill me countless times in the past, you also never suspected anything? This woman has covered everything up quite well, especially in front of you. But she¡¯s the one who killed Mother and even sent people to kill my wet nurse. These are all facts. I personally saw it!¡±


    Like a thunderbolt out of the blue, Luo Cheng stiffened all over. This news came too abruptly. He simply had no way of believing it.


    His own beloved wife had actually been killed by his concubine. How¡¯s that possible!


    But each and every word his daughter, Luo Qing Luan, had spoken called his attention to the possibility that this wasn¡¯t a fabrication, nor was to frame. She outlined everything in such detail, bit by bit and even pointed out various kinds of evidence. He wasn¡¯t a fool. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t pay attention to these things previously. Now that they¡¯d been pointed out, he also felt that something¡¯s fishy.

 Chapter 79.2 - Sinister Plan

    <h4>Chapter 79b: Sinister n</h4>


    More and more rmed, the more he thought, the more he became bitterly disappointed. Luo Cheng¡¯splexion ashened, filled with questions which finally made it to his mouth, yet he still stammered, unable to say anything.


    ¡°What, Father, you finally feel that something¡¯s fishy?¡±


    Qing Luan sneered, as before, ¡°Mother already passed away for fifteen years. Father, you¡¯re finally a little bit suspicious. If it wasn¡¯t for my having racked my brains to investigate, I¡¯m afraid that even now, you¡¯d still be kept in the dark, mistakenly taking your own enemy to be your close rtive, right? Wang Xue Ru was previously a minor concubine. In order to rece Mother¡¯s position, what won¡¯t she do? You can think things over on your own. You even hit me on her behalf. Are you not afraid that Mother¡¯s soul will be bitterly disappointed in heaven?¡±


    ¡°How......How can it be possible......can this be?¡±


    Stiffly moving the corners of his mouth, Luo Cheng was stupefied, he already had no way of pondering over everything. He could only mutter repeatedly. Turning his neck a little bit, he looked at Luo Qing Luan in shock.


    ncing at him emotionlessly, Luo Qing Luan saw that the effect was already pretty good. It¡¯s probably a bad idea to continue provoking him. ¡°This daughter already told you everything. Father, you should know what you ought to do. However, I should still give you this warning in the end. In regards to Mother¡¯s murder, I¡¯m ny percent certain that Wang Xue Ru¡¯s the culprit, but there¡¯s no proof until now. If you go ask her without careful consideration, not only will she refuse to admit it, it will even put her on guard.¡±


    ¡°Father, if you want to investigate, then you should do it secretly. If you don¡¯t want to investigate, it¡¯s best that you find a reason to directly divorce her.¡±


    Speaking to this point, Luo Qing Luan sneered, ¡°No matter what, Father decide for yourself. As for what may happen in the future, please don¡¯t me this daughter for not having warned you.¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and sat on the chair by the window, no longer speaking.


    Luo Cheng departed in a daze. He had no impression of how he returned to his own room.


    Just now, he heard so many things, he was unable to ept them all. His entire being was muddled and stiff, as if he was experiencing a nightmare. Was his beloved wife truly killed by his concubine? If this wasn¡¯t so, could it be that Luo Qing Luan was lying? if that¡¯s the case then during these fifteen years......


    ¡°Master.¡±


    Just when he was fretful and filled with worry, Ziyu came in. She bowed and asked, ¡°The side madam doesn¡¯t feel well and would like to ask the Master toe over......¡±


    ¡°Scram!¡± Once he heard the words ¡®side madam¡¯, Luo Qing was filled with rage and yelled at Ziyu, ¡°Still not getting lost? In the future, you should refrain from mentioning that slut in front of me. Scram!¡±


    Ziyu waspletely rmed hearing this. Seeing Luo Cheng¡¯s murderous appearance, she quickly left with her tail between her legs. Arriving at Graceful Orchid Courtyard, Ziyu recounted what just happened. Reclining on the bed, Wang Xue Ru turned over and sat up, frowning, ¡°What, not only is Master noting to see me, he even scolded you?¡±


    What¡¯s going on here?


    Once Ziyu recounted what just happened all the way through, and ryed that the master had just returned from the seconddy¡¯s courtyard, then seemed as if he changed into another person, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s heart clenched. A vague premonition arose spontaneously.


    She and Luo Cheng had been together for twenty years. His personality was something she understood best. Back then, even when that woman died from birthing difficulties, Luo Cheng did not fly into a rage when she cared for him, to say nothing of today, Luo Cheng knew that she was seriously ill. How could he note to see her, and even yelled at Ziyu?


    There must be a problem in the midst!


    It¡¯s a crucial time at present. Qing Luan will be the Princess of Chu soon. Once her status was fixed, it¡¯d be very difficult to deal with her in the future. And Luo Cheng had to have a change of attitude at this time. He was even increasingly cared about Luo Qing Luan, adding to the sense of crisis Wang Xue Ru was feeling.


    The more she thought, the more she felt something was wrong. Suddenly, a thought shed in her mind. Don¡¯t tell me Luo Cheng listened to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s instigation? Did she cast doubt upon what happened back then?


    Wang Xue Ru couldn¡¯t help breaking out in a cold sweat. If it was truly like that, then that would be the biggest crisis she was facing.


    ¡°This loathsome girl......she absolutely can no longer be left alone!¡± Gnashing her teeth in anger, Wang Xue Ruplexion changed as she spoke word by word, ¡°Ziyu, quickly go help me do something. You have to be extremely careful. Don¡¯t let anyone find out.¡± Whispering a few words, she lowered her voice, ¡°Remember at all costs, once you find a suitable candidate, quickly make a move.¡±


    In order to eliminate Luo Qing Luan, she had to first destroy her marriage. Once Nn Ye no longer wants her, at that time, whether the girl would be killed or punished would all be up to her.


    Three dayster, the sky already darkened.


    Stealthily standing at the door to the new courtyard, Ziyu took a survey of the interior. It was extremely quiet inside Luo Qing Luan¡¯s courtyard. There was only a hazy light which prated the window to her bedroom. Once she saw Dai Yue carry an empty bucket as she walked away from the room, then entered the kitchen, Ziyu immediately said to the person behind her, ¡°Did you see. That is the bedroom belonging to ourdy. Our youngdy ordinarily likes to stay outside looking for pleasure, but this secret can not be made known to outsiders. That¡¯s why I secretly found you. Later on, you need to properly serve our youngdy, did you hear?¡±


    This man epted pleasantly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that he visited a brothel looking for some fun and surprisingly encountered this kind of good fortune. He couldn¡¯t wait as he rubbed his hands. Once he thought of the beautiful woman who was taking a bath inside and how very soon he would be able to get physical with her, he was so happy that he nearly couldn¡¯t tell which direction was north.


    As Ziyu quietly slipped away, the man¡¯s two eyes shined while he silently and cautiously entered the courtyard. Very quickly, he pushed open the door and shed inside.

 Chapter 80.1 - Catching the Thief, Recovering the Booty

    Chapter 80a: Catching the Thief, Recovering the Booty


    Right when the door to her room creaked and a soft noise sounded, Luo Qing Luan could hear that someone had entered.


    She even thought that it was Dai Yue and didn¡¯t care at all, but immediately, she sensed that something was fishy about the sound of these footsteps. Every time Dai Yue came in, she would gossip while giggling, just like a parakeet who couldn¡¯t keep its mouth shut. But this time, not only was there no talking, even the rhythm of the footsteps were wrong, making her raise her guard.


    It absolutely wasn¡¯t Dai Yue!


    Just as this thought shed through her mind, the other person already quickly came in. The beaded curtain¡¯s movement sounded as a man dressed in a blue brocade gown appeared before her.


    ¡°Ah? Little beauty......¡± When the man first saw Luo Qing Luan immersed inside the bath tub, his two eyes shined in surprise. Such a remarkably stunning woman was truly like a goddess. He immediatelyughed mischievously as he cupped his hands. ¡°Greetings youngdy. Your countenance is truly as beautiful as the moon......¡±


    ¡°Who are you?¡± With a cold shout, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s body submerged deeper. Only her head remained above the water¡¯s surface. She even covered the front of her body.


    ¡°Beauty, you don¡¯t need to be nervous. I¡¯m the one who the servant from your residence brought here to apany you. Young Lady is so stunning. You surprisingly still wasted so much effort in wandering outside. In the future, you should just allow me toe keep youpany, what do you think? I guarantee that you¡¯ll y very pleasurably, you¡¯ll be in seventh heaven......¡± The man excitedly rubbed his hands as he approached the bathtub step by step. A pair of eyes stared at Luo Qing Luan fixedly, wishing that his vision was capable of prating the water¡¯s surface.


    With these few words, Luo Qing Luan already understood.


    Who else could it be, but Wang Xue Ru who looked for this man? The two of them practically already shed all pretenses. Conflicting views could not be reconciled. Moreover, the day before yesterday, she told Luo Cheng of the matter rting to her mother¡¯s death. She¡¯s afraid it¡¯s because of this reason that Wang Xue Ru, in spite of everything, made a move against her within the General¡¯s Mansion!


    There was merely one more month before she was to wed. Was Wang Xue Ru truly willing to resign herself? Naturally, she first needed to destroy this marriage, after which she could deal with her as she wished.


    As long as she could have people see this man together with Luo Qing Luan, especially during this time. When the moment came, not only would Nn Ye cancel the wedding, even Luo Cheng¡¯s face would lose its splendor. As for herself, she would certainly be used with the crime of ¡®premarital adultery¡¯, wanton by nature, failing to guard her reputation.


    One can well imagine the consequences!


    The more desperate the situation was, the more cool-headed Luo Qing Luan became.


    She didn¡¯t know martial arts. Moreover, she was currently naked and it was inconvenient for her to move about. She couldn¡¯t even casually make noise, because once she yelled out loud, she¡¯s afraid the man would panic even more and might gag her, or maybe an ident might happen if her became fric. At that time, those people who were purposefully guarding outside for an opportunity woulde in to catch her red-handed. Even with ten mouths, she wouldn¡¯t be able to clear her name.


    Time was of the essence, she could only save herself!


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is......¡± Luo Qing Luan changed her expression. She stared at the man while saying indifferently, ¡°Mister, which one of my servants brought you here? Why don¡¯t you tell me. She¡¯s pretty good at what she does. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll need to properly reward her.¡±


    The man saw Luo Qing Luan smiling, and his soul flew even further away from him. Suddenly, he licked his lips and smilingly replied, ¡°I also don¡¯t know that servant¡¯s name. She was dressed in purple, with a round face and big eyes. She¡¯s also very cute. Young beauty, even the servant beside you is so pretty, indeed, my life will be blessed in the future.¡±


    As he spoke, he approached closer to her. Seeing that there¡¯s two more steps before he reached her, Luo Qing Luan expression shivered. ¡°Don¡¯te over. Wait until I finish bathing before we continue.¡±


    The man was already no longer able to wait. How could he still wait? His passion was already aroused, a fire burning his body as he chuckled. As he took off his clothes, he came over, ¡°I can¡¯t wait any longer. Young beauty, how about the two of us take a bath together now and have me properly serve you......¡±


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand instantly rose out of the water¡¯s surface and found the hairpin at the top of her head keeping her hair together.


    She originally was going to dy for a bit, tricking this man to give her her clothes before she made a move. But now, there clearly wasn¡¯t any more time. In a moment of desperation, she also had no other option. Hidden inside the hairpin on her head was an emergency pill, but this pill was a poison which would perforate the intestines. Even gods wouldn¡¯t be able to save someone dying from this poison.


    Since he urgently courted death, then don¡¯t me her for making a ruthless move!


    With a nimble little movement, the pill already arrived at Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand. She was going to p it into the man¡¯s mouth while he was speaking, who could¡¯ve imagined......she already started to move closer when the man in front of the bathtub shivered. Then,


    his face turned upward before he fell onto the ground.


    In an instant, the noise of sleeves moving and window opening simultaneously sounded, so quickly that she was caught off guard. Luo Qing Luan turned her head to look when she saw a shadow fly inside through the window. In the blink of an eye, a man dressed in ck already stood in front of her.


    ¡°What, this prince merely haven¡¯t seen you for half a month and you already brought a man into your chambers?¡± Nn Ye watched her while wearing a smile that¡¯s not a smile. His tall body stood as graceful as jade, his outstanding appearance shone, just like a celestial being. Within his tone of voice, there was teasing, without the slightest trace of anger.


    Only now did she realize that Nn Ye had made a move. Luo Qing Luan subconsciously let out a breath in relief.


    This was also good. Save her from having a man die in her room, after which it would also be troublesome to handle the corpse!


    Suddenly, in spite of her rxed frame of mind, she felt a crisis approaching. This man had fainted, but there was an additional Nn Ye! With her current circumstances, how could she not be at a disadvantage. What if Nn Ye did something to her. Could she even poison him to death?

 Chapter 80.2 - Catch the Thief; Recover the Booty

    Chapter 80b: Catch the Thief; Recover the Booty


    Luo Qing Luan calmed down her face and lifted her eyes to look at him. ¡°Since you came to save me, you should know what has transpired. Right now, I¡¯d like to get dressed. Go away.¡±


    Smiling indifferently, not only did Nn Ye not leave, he instead sat down by her side, sizing everything up. ¡°Mn, taking a bath inside your chambers is actually not a bad idea. After bathing, you could go directly to bed, very convenient. It¡¯s actually much morefortable than how I have to run about in order to take a bath in my far away pond.¡±


    Having lived for a short period of time at the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion, Luo Qing Luan naturally knew of the pond he was talking about.


    The entire bathing pond was constructed of the best quality marble, borately sculptured. There was warm water year round inside such a big pond, which was drawn from an underground hot spring. The temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, feeling cozy both during the summer and winter. She also didn¡¯t know where Nn Ye found such a skilled workman, who even drew water from the hot spring into the mouths of two three feet high red-crowned cranes, gurgling out throughout the year. Each time when he bathed, fragrant flower petals were even scattered. A big man like him was so particr, simply thoroughly and repulsively extravagant!


    Clearly, Nn Ye enjoyed it immensely, yet he even insisted on acting sour in her presence. Once she heard him, she knew he was mocking her for having this man in her room. That¡¯s why he said that it was convenient for her to go directly to bed after bathing.


    ¡°Nn Ye, are you quite done ying around? Did you not hear me asking you to leave? I¡¯d like to get dressed.¡± Luo Qing Luan spoke to him without the slightest pleasantry.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You do your thing, while I sit in my ce. We won¡¯t disturb each other. Moreover, we¡¯ll be married soon. You¡¯re my future princess. I don¡¯t mind watching you getting dressed. I also won¡¯t reject you due to your figure.¡± As indifferent as before, Nn Ye replied while his gaze fell on her body.


    Immediately, she threw away the pill in her hand and shrunk back into the water. Luo Qing Luan regretted it intensely. This shameless man. She just knew nothing good was going toe out of his arrival. He actually said those shameless things. Casually scanning around, the bath water¡¯s surface was like a mirror as she sshed it towards him.


    Ssh ssh¡­¡­


    Flowery droplets flew in all directions. Luo Qing Luan even thought that Nn Ye would more or less dodge. Who knew that he would remain as motionless as a mountain as before. He sat still in his chair like a knight on his mount, while the water sshing over seemed as if it encountered ayer of invisible force field, following which it flowed to the ground. Nn Ye¡¯s body wasn¡¯t even wet in the slightest.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. What incredible internal energy. Surprisingly, he was able to reach this stage!


    Looking at the water covering the whole floor, Nn Ye smiled faintly as he remarked, ¡°Was it fun? Just continue if it is. This Prince can see that your figure¡¯s not bad, slim and fair. It can be assumed that the flesh on the rest of your body should also be like this. This Prince will be blessed tonight.¡± As he spoke, his eyes followed along her arms towards her chest. His gaze appeared to be engrossed and captivated.


    During the previous short moment, she¡¯d unexpectedly been seen by him?


    Luo Qing Luan suddenly felt that she¡¯d suffered losses and didn¡¯t dare to raise her arm any longer.


    Herdy¡¯s chamber became silent. No one spoke. But as they looked at each other, one carried a nonchnt expression, calm and unruffled, while the other¡¯s face was embittered, gnashing her teeth in anger. The pupils of her eyes overflowed with hot anger, wishing that she could burn the other person into ashes.


    Right at this time, Dai Yue¡¯s voice sounded from outside, ¡°Master, Side Madam, it¡¯s already sote at night, why are you¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Move out of the way, get lost!¡± Luo Cheng¡¯s angry voice arrived. Immediately, morous noises ensued. There clearly wasn¡¯t just one or two people.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Luo Qing Luan blurted out.


    Since Wang Xue Ru had sent someone to tarnish her reputation, she would naturally bring Luo Cheng to ¡®catch the thief and recover the loot¡¯. Just now, she and Nn Ye had wasted so much time that they¡¯d been allowed to catch up. Seeing so many people outside about to charge


    inside, what¡¯s to be done? She was even still soaking in the water!


    Immediately, herplexion changed. Luo Qing Luan swept her eyes across the still unconscious lecherous man by the side of the bathtub, then took another look at Nn Ye, whose expression remained unchanged as before. She uttered hatefully, ¡°Bastard, why don¡¯t you hurry and get lost! You really want to be seen by everyone, right?¡±


    Based on Nn Ye¡¯s ability, it was naturally easy for him to leave this ce. His light foot skills was as brilliant as treading upon level ground. Even if so many people had surrounded her courtyard outside. If he were to leave, basically no one would be able to discover it. As long as Nn Ye left and took this unconscious man with him, every crisis would be resolved.


    Finally, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. Nn Ye watched Luo Qing Luan¡¯s obviously flustered appearance and remarked, ¡°What, there are times when even Miss Luo also panics? You¡¯re in fact someone who¡¯s going to be my princess. How can you lose your cool like this?¡±


    This bastard, would it cause him back pain to stop talking?


    If he was the one who was bare naked and stuck in the bath while a huge crowd of people was outside wanting to charge their way inside, was it possible that he¡¯d be able to be this


    unperturbed? He really wouldn¡¯t care about being seen naked by everyone?


    ¡°Master, Side Madam. You really can¡¯t do this, the youngdy is inside taking a bath!¡± Outside the door, Dai Yue¡¯s panicked voice sounded again. It was obvious that she was blocking people from entering. But a little servant girl like her, how could she stop Wang Xue Ru, who was deliberately looking for trouble?


    ¡°Master, look at this servant girl. She surprisingly still dares to bar the way. Did she think that this will conceal the fact that her mistress is secretly having illicit rtions with some wild man?¡± Wang Xue Ru¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t quiet at all as she loudly continued, ¡°As long as we bring people and charged inside, I guarantee that we¡¯ll catch both ¡®the thief and the goods¡¯. I wouldn¡¯t be surprised that since they heard us now, they¡¯re probably rushing to get dressed in their panic!¡±


    ¡°Shameless!¡± Luo Cheng scolded in fury.


    Just when he was going to push Dai Yue, thetter extended both arms to bar the door while eximing, ¡°Master, it¡¯s really My Lady inside. You can¡¯t enter! Mydy was clearly by herself, how can it be possible¡­¡­¡±


    Ziyu stood up. ¡°I personally saw a man sneakily enter inside. After that, he didn¡¯te back out. Only then did I make a report to the side madam and Master. What, you now even want to help you mistress talk her way out of this?¡±


    She rolled her eyes and coldly smiled as she continued, ¡°Dai Yue, it shouldn¡¯t be that you have already followed your mistress¡¯ bad example from the start? Maybe if we hadn¡¯te, you might even want to serve that wild man together with your mistress, right?¡±


    Just when Dai Yue was so anxious that she¡¯s about to cry, Luo Cheng almost went insane from hearing those words. He reached out a pulled Dai Yue away and fiercely pushed her to one side. After that, he forcefully kicked open the door. ¡°Repulsive girl,e out here! Where¡¯s that wild boorish man! ?¡±

 Chapter 81.2 - Surprisingly Confessing His Deep Love to Her

    <h4>Chapter 81b: Surprisingly Confessing His Deep Love to Her</h4>


    Luo Cheng doesn¡¯t mind?


    Don¡¯t mention minding, it¡¯s more likely he¡¯s wishing that tonight, Nn Ye seriously don¡¯t leave and quickly turn raw rice into cooked rice. (consummate their rtionship) This marriage would then be as set as iron tes nailed together.


    But Luo Qing Luan wasn¡¯t interested in Nn Ye in the least. Were it not for the fact that she couldn¡¯t defeat him, how would she tolerate his annoying pestering?


    Feeling the weight on top of her body as well as their faces which almost touched each other, even though Nn Ye was indeed very good-looking and apparently treat her very differently from the masses, not liking him meant that she just didn¡¯t like him. Luo Qing Luan became colder as she said, ¡°Nn Ye, this is thest time I¡¯ll say this, are you leaving or not?¡±


    ¡°Qing Luan, do you truly loathe me this much?¡±


    Suddenly, Nn Ye spoke as his expression turned serious and a mild endearment seemed to appear in the pupils of his eyes . He propped himself up with his arm and gazed into her two eyes. Only after he looked at her seriously for a moment did he ask, ¡°I¡¯m saying this to you very seriously. It¡¯s been so many years. You¡¯re the only woman who I¡¯ve set my heart on. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed to His Majesty¡¯s marriage bestowment. Moreover, I wouldn¡¯t have kept involving myself with you.¡±


    Hearing these words which seemed to be a confession, Luo Qing Luan was stunned in ce.


    He didn¡¯t go crazy, right? Did he know what he was saying?


    ¡°In the entire country of Western Chu, how many men canpare with This Prince? Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re not moved in the slightest bit? When I first saw you, I was indeed somewhat mistaken, but after I understood you more and more, I started to fall for you.¡± Nn Ye¡¯s dark eyes were deep and profound, as if looking at a bottomless expanse of water. They possessed an endless attractive force. ¡°Therefore, I stole into the General¡¯s Mansion to look for you, that¡¯s why I was angry and wanted to marry you because of what Nangong Qing said, that¡¯s why I helped you investigate your mother¡¯s matter, and why I would send people to guard by your side and protect you, allowing me to be able toe save you in time tonight......¡±


    He then moved a bit closer to her, the warm air he breathed out overflowed her face as he asked her gloomily and charmingly, ¡°What else do I have to do in order for you to be perfectly happy to marry me, to fall in love with me?¡±


    Love him? Love Nn Ye?


    Luo Qing Luan had never thought about this issue before. For a moment, she actually didn¡¯t know how she should reply.


    She had never seen Nn Ye be so serious before, as if that cold and detached man in front of people in the past, who was outwardly kind but inwardly evil, who was asionally deliberately making things difficult for her, who asionally nagged her, who recently was even mischievous and ingratiating, that Nn Ye who harassed her had disappeared. And the current Nn Ye was in fact a man who was deeply devoted to her. He¡¯d done so much, all for her sake, only hoping that she would love him, to be willing to be his Princess of Chu.


    ¡°You......you really like me?¡± After a long while, Luo Qing Luan finally spit out some words in disbelief, feeling like she didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry.


    ¡°I really like you, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t marry you.¡± Nn Ye answered, the light in his eyes deep and profound.


    ¡°You......you......can you not speak like this, I, I¡¯m not used to it at all.¡± Luo Qing Luan suddenly stuttered. She didn¡¯t expect that Nn Ye actually took things seriously.


    Coming another step closer again, the two of them were nearly as close as they could be. As long as Nn Ye lowered his head, he could instantly kiss her face. Such a distance already raised Luo Qing Luan¡¯s alert level. She suddenly felt uneasy and did her best to draw back.


    But behind her was the headboard. She simply had nowhere to retreat to. Moreover, as soon as she moved, her shoulder was bared. Once Nn Ye lowered his gaze. It fell on her fair, small and exquisite shoulder. His expression immediately changed.


    That was a kind of dark and gloomy vague expression, fixedly staring at Luo Qing Luan¡¯s body, as if a variety of feelings passed through his eyes, as if a war was going on in his heart. He thirsted for her and wanted to move closer to feel her, but he restrained himself and didn¡¯t move. But his increasingly heavy breathing started to make Luo Qing Luan nervous. She was afraid that Nn Ye would do something, yet had no way of resisting.


    ¡°Qing Luan, do you really not like me?¡± His voice was even somewhat hoarse. Indeed, Nn Ye was doing his most to exercise control, but was in a situation where he was having trouble doing so. Listening to him, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart trembled, not knowing how to reply.


    The man before her eyes was so outstandingly handsome, his imposing manner out of the ordinary. He wasn¡¯t someone who other men could bepared to at all. Even someone like Nangong Qing, whenpared to him, was also inferior by arge amount. These were personality traits which Nn Ye had cultivated ever since a long time ago. Once he held nothing back, his aurapletely engulfed. In addition, with such a deeply emotional speech, even though it¡¯s Luo Qing Luan, she still hesitated.


    She understood her own heart. She really wasn¡¯t in love with Nn Ye, but with such an outstanding man confessing to her, and even under such ambiguous circumstances......


    She didn¡¯t know whether it was because she was nervous, but Luo Qing Luan suddenly felt her heart beating faster and faster as she watched Nn Ye approaching closer and closer to her. That distinctly cold and raw manly smell nearly engulfed her entire body. Just when his deep gaze appeared as if he¡¯s going to kiss her, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s brains exploded. In a flurry, she reached out to block his lips. ¡°Wait wait!¡±


    ¡°Help me up first, is that alright? I, I want to wear, wear clothes......¡±


    Even she herself didn¡¯t know why she would stutter and say these things for no rhyme or reason. Luo Qing Luan turned her head around and no longer dared to look into Nn Ye¡¯s eyes.


    His voice sounded by her ear, ¡°It¡¯s already sote, what clothes are there to wear still......¡±


    A warm hand caressed her shoulder. The stimtion caused her to tremble from head to toe. Her entire body quickly shrunk down,pletely hiding under the quilt. ¡°I¡¯d like to wear some clothes, wear clothes......¡± She really was panicking. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart was beating like a drum. Even her head didn¡¯t dare to stick out.


    Mischievousness shing through his eyes, Nn Ye finally let her off as he got up and said, ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll first turn around and not look at you. Quickly get dressed. I¡¯ll count to fifty. If you¡¯re still not dressed by then, don¡¯t me me for not giving you a chance.¡±


    ¡°One, two, three......¡±

 Chapter 82.1 - Lightning Setting Fires on Earth, Her Move

    <h4>Chapter 82a: Lightning Setting Fires on Earth, Her Move</h4>


    As if chased by a burning fire, Luo Qing Luan moved at lightning speed.


    But no matter how fast she was, she still couldn¡¯tpare to Nn Ye¡¯s counting. ¡°Seven, eight, nine......fourteen, fifteen, sixteen......¡±


    Since she needed to lift away the quilt, unwrap the curtain from her body, then she even had to take off the clothing wrapped around her body, while guarding against Nn Ye¡¯s possible peeking at the same time. Merely doing all of these things already wasted a lot of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s time. She heard him already counting to thirty something, while she had only just freed herself. Her mind moving, she again recalled that her under garments were still hanging on the clothes rack by the side. But it¡¯s already toote to ask Nn Ye to bring them over.


    ¡°Forty one, forty two......¡± Nn Ye¡¯s counting wasn¡¯t fast nor slow, but it didn¡¯t stop at all. Luo Qing Luan became anxious and could only quickly grab her outer garments. She also no longer cared that they were covered with water spots and quickly covered her body with them. As soon as she just barely folded her robe over and didn¡¯t even have the chance to tie the strap at the side, Nn Ye already said, ¡°Fifty. The end.¡±


    After saying so, he didn¡¯t ask whether Luo Qing Luan was finished and directly turned around.


    Seeing that Nn Ye actually already turned around, how could Luo Qing Luan still care whether she finished tying the straps? At this moment, her clothes had merely been half on. Arge stretch of skin was still exposed. Without thinking much, she directly drag the quilt over to cover her body. After that, she waspletely flustered and exasperated as she said, ¡°Don¡¯t look! Turn back around......¡±


    That handsome smiling face was at this moment staring at her totally mischievously. Nn Ye¡¯s smiling expression looked so bad, so indecent, that he was just like a slovenly rich spoiled young master. His gaze moved up and down as he smiling said, ¡°What now, hasn¡¯t it been agreed that I¡¯d count to fifty. I also didn¡¯t peep at you. Why won¡¯t you let me turn my head around.


    ¡°I......¡± How could she admit that she hadn¡¯t finished dressing? What if this bastard really lifted the quilt away. What¡¯s to be done?


    Luo Qing Luan had never found Nn Ye to be so abominable before. Looking at the crafty luster in his eyes, how could she not tell that those things he said previously were all in order to tease her? What nonsense about liking her, loving her, even bing jealous because of her? Everything was just for the sake of teasing her and ying with her, that¡¯s all!


    He caused her heart to jump, and she nearly believed him. He¡¯s simply a scoundrel!


    ¡°Nn Ye, you just want to tease me, right? What¡¯s so amusing about that?¡± Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression chilled. Bit by bit, her heart which was somewhat moved froze over.


    ¡°Youngss, you have no idea how amusing your appearance was just now.¡± As Nn Ye spoke, he approached closer. The corners of his mouth were like before, carrying a careless smiling expression. ¡°However, everything that I said just now were also true. I can be considered quite satisfied in marrying you. It¡¯s just that this figure of yours......¡±


    He sized Luo Qing Luan up and down. That pair of eyes seemed as if it was able to see her body through the quilt covering her. Luo Qing shivered as she heard Nn Ye say indifferently, ¡°is a bit skinny! Chest too small, still not enough to fill my hand. But fortunately, your waist is slender enough......¡±


    Raging fury directly charged into her brain. Luo Qing Luan was both shamed and angered. She lifted her hand and wanted to p Nn Ye.


    Before her hand reached his face, it was already detained by a powerful hand. Without thinking, Luo Qing Luan extended her other hand and struck again.


    She just started acting when she trembled all over. Unexpectedly, her two hands had been captured by Nn Ye. At this moment, she finally reacted. Nn Ye¡¯s martial arts was so outstanding, how could she actually be angered by him to such an extent as to lose her head. She actually used the stupidest method to deal with him?


    ¡°Let me go!¡± Gnashing her teeth in anger, Luo Qing Luan red fiercely at Nn Ye. A bad premonition arose in her mind.


    Simply not paying any attention to her, Nn Ye was looking elsewhere instead. Because she extended her hands, the quilt covering her slid down. Her body was revealed only wearing an outer garments. His gaze couldn¡¯t help but change, as if roasted by a fire as his gaze fell on her chest, sweeping his eyes back and forth. Luo Qing Luan felt ufortable all over as she pronounced each word clearly, ¡°Shameless scoundrel!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m looking at my future consort. How did that turn me into a shameless scoundrel?¡± Nn Ye wasn¡¯t angry in the least and instead moved closer. In a deep and low voice, he said ambiguously into her ear, ¡°Wait until our grand wedding. On that night, Qing Luan, you¡¯ll find out what a shameless scoundrel really is......¡±


    ¡°You......¡± Luo Qing Luan was furious. She¡¯d thoroughly been defeated by Nn Ye.


    This man. Wasn¡¯t it rumored in the outside world that he was as cold as ice and frost, neither speaking nor smiling casually? Why was it that in her presence, he changed into a different personpletely. The transformation was enough to shock her? Someone with so many strategies, so much ability, whose military achievements were impressive, who ten thousand men couldn¡¯t rival, why was it that in her presence, he would be such a lecherous character, such a shameless pervert?


    Finally angered speechless, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s anger turned into a smile. Turning her head, she stared at Nn Ye, who was two inches away from her face and said softly, ¡°Nn Ye, you¡¯ve said so much tonight, what do you want in the end?¡±


    With a smile that could bewitch people and cause people to sink into silliness, Nn Ye finally let go of one of her hands. He hooked a finger around Luo Qing Luan¡¯s exquisite and fair chin. ¡°Just now, I rescued you from water and fire. Everyone saw it. Qing Luan, tell me, shouldn¡¯t I ask for a bit of a reward?¡±


    His words ¡®everyone saw it¡¯ ignited the fury in her heart even more, but she simply smiled and became even gentler, so much so that she disyed a flirtatious expression, not retreating, but advancing instead, ¡°What reward would you like? Tell me......¡±


    Her gentle voice was so intoxicating revealing a trace of charming gentleness, making a person be lost in wild and fanciful thoughts. Luo Qing Luan extended her hand and rested it on Nn Ye¡¯s face. She gently caressed him. ¡°You really like me? Nn Ye, are you lying to me?¡±


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan suddenly change, Nn Ye also felt a peculiar feeling. In the past, he had been tricked by her quite a few times just like this. It¡¯s happening again right now. It would seem that she¡¯de up with some damnable idea again and wanted to deal with him?

 Chapter 82.2 - Lightning Setting Fires on Earth: Her Move

    <h4>Chapter 82b: Lightning Setting Fires on Earth: Her Move</h4>


    However, Nn Ye didn¡¯t care about this at all. This girl was so alluring tonight. Her clothing was even half removed and she¡¯d been firmly controlled by him. Could it be that she would truly dare to throw caution to the winds and recklessly make a move against him? Wasn¡¯t she afraid that she¡¯d truly be seenpletely naked by him?


    As if having thought of something, the image of a wonderfully alluring body appeared in his mind, petite and exquisite, simr to white jade, sparkling and translucent, so much so that he even smelled a trace of her fragrance......Nn Ye suddenly felt a desire arising from his lower abdomen, and not only did that girl not stop her hand, on the contrary, she even incessantly continue to caress his face while sliding down. Her hand slid down to thepel over his chest.


    Looking down at her little fingers, Nn Ye lowered his head and lightly kissed her fingertips. His voice was already a bit hoarse, ¡°I¡¯ve really fallen for you, girl......¡± This was the truth. He didn¡¯t mind telling her. As for whether she believed it or not, that¡¯s her business. ¡°As for the reward, as long as it was something you gave me, I¡¯ll ept it without question. How about that?¡±


    ¡°Really? You¡¯re not afraid that you won¡¯t be able to take it?¡± Luo Qing Luan pulled his body over and softly pulled open the belt around Nn Ye¡¯s robe. Her eyes were staring at his, red lips opening slightly. Her fragrance increasingly bing more alluring.


    Under the circumstances, watching her, Nn Ye also couldn¡¯t help but be excited. He felt his body bing even hotter. This girl really wanted his life. She ordinarily appeared lovable and charming. asionally, she even shouted and quarreled with him. He didn¡¯t expect that she could be so tititing in private. Could it be that it¡¯s because she drew so many erotic pictures that she also taught herself?


    This kind of enticement, even if it was Nn Ye, he also couldn¡¯t resist it. Luo Qing Luan was the person he liked to begin with. At present, he became increasingly unable to control himself. His vignce dissipated bit by bit as his thoughts drifted infatuated......


    ¡°You really want to y with fire, girl?¡±


    Nn Ye grabbed Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand, no longer allowing her to act naughtily. Her little hand was soft like there¡¯s no bone. It felt tender, soft and smooth, making him fondle it all the more. He took a hold of her waist, while the two of them have already turned themselves over. ¡°I¡¯m not some Buddhistma. If you continue to test me, do you believe that I won¡¯t hold back. When that time came, it will certainly be toote for you to regret......¡±


    Unexpectedly, Luo Qing Luan truly seemed as if she was addicted to ying. Not only did her hands move incessantly, she even leaned against him. She slowly lifted his robe away, as her little hand drew circles on his body. ¡°This kind of thing, on what basis must it always be a man¡¯s decision to make? Don¡¯t tell me that a woman can¡¯t take the initiative?¡±


    With coquettish nces, Luo Qing Luan smiled lightly as she freed another hand. As she gently caressed Nn Ye¡¯s face, her other hand was wandering around Nn Ye¡¯s body nonstop.


    This man¡¯s figure was indeed good. She liked it!


    Muscles nice and sturdy, but not one bit excessive nor one bit too little, healthily the color of wheat, thoroughly captivatingly attractive, fiercely enticing her to check him out. If she truly liked him, she absolutely wouldn¡¯t have minded sharing some pleasure with him right now. In any case, the two of them were going to get married. So what if it¡¯s a bit earlier or a bitter?


    What a pity......


    Luo Qing Luan sighed in her mind. This man was so outstanding, but she unfortunately didn¡¯t like him. Why was that?


    She smiled as she stroked him, while she was seriously thinking it over in her mind.


    Mm, if she were to say that she didn¡¯t like him, that wouldn¡¯t be entirely true either. Everyone liked beautiful things, she was naturally no exception. It¡¯s just that this kind of like was not that kind of like. Just like how she could ignore a young woman¡¯s reservations, actingpletely unstrained, taking things frivolously. He was the same, they¡¯re merely enjoying themselves.


    Because she did not regard Nn Ye as a man. Rather, he was taken to be a pretty and interesting thing.


    That should be the case, right? She naturally wouldn¡¯t hate beautiful things. Otherwise, with Nn Ye having said so many things to her, if someone else were in her ce, they would¡¯ve killed him by now. How would he be allowed to be so unbridled right now, such that he was even enjoying her service?


    Right at this moment, Nn Ye moved. His hand wrapped firmly around her waist, wanting to take off her barely remaining clothes. The pupils of his eyes were already burning with desire.


    ¡°Alright then, Qing Luan......since that¡¯s what you want, then I won¡¯t move tonight. Whatever techniques you have, don¡¯t hesitate to make use of them.¡± As he spoke, Nn Ye¡¯s hand already started to brush against her perky butt. Luo Qing Luan only felt as if an electric current ran through her. Not daring to have him continue on, she quickly caught his hand and smiled lovingly, ¡°Don¡¯t move, just allow this prince¡¯s consort......to properly serve you.¡±


    Serve him......wait and see if he could enjoy it or not!


    In spite of the fact that Nn Ye had already seen everything of hers with nothing left, Luo Qing Luan lowered her head and kissed his lips. She¡¯d barely touched him when she felt Nn Ye already embracing her firmly, responding in force. He was even more fervent than her, was looking forward to it even more than her, as if he had already waited for this moment a long time ago, so much so that it appeared as if he impatiently wanted to eat her uppletely clean off.


    This man. His kissing technique was pretty good!


    While Luo Qing Luan enjoyed it, she also felt anger welling up: Bastard. In the past, had he already kissed a lot of women. Otherwise, why was he so skilled?


    In but a short period of time, she had already been hemmed in by his vor. Inextricably linked, she was encircled by him into his chest. His hand stuck to her back, using strength to press her against him, firmly controlling the distance between the two of them. His lips passionately tangled with hers, simr to lightning setting fires on earth, shifting the spring night that hadn¡¯t arrived to an earlier date, to this moment.


    Right at this time, Luo Qing Luan whispered into his ear. ¡°Nn Ye, do you like this?¡±


    ¡°I like this......Qing Luan, I really like you......¡±


    The man under her body was like someone who had received a militarymand. He was going to flip himself over to the top. Unexpectedly, Luo Qing Luan already held him back by his waist and resolutely kicked her knee up towards his groin!

 Chapter 83.1 - He’ll Make Her Truly Love Him

    Chapter 83a: He¡¯ll Make Her Truly Love Him


    <h4></h4>


    Suddenly alerted to aing omen, Nn Ye was lost in passion and his mind was in disorder. How could he imagine that Luo Qing Luan would be so reckless like this?


    No matter how fast he moved sideways, he was unable to dodge in the end. An acutely intense pain burst forth from his lower body. He gasped in shock. Suddenly, his hand clenched.


    ¡°Ah!......¡±


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s arm suddenly felt a stab of pain, as if it had been pinched in ce by iron pliers and nearly fractured. Yet in a split second, Nn Ye already released her. She took advantage of the situation to wrap clothes around her and freed herself, nimbly jumping down the bed. Looking at the ashened face Nn Ye, she smiled tenderly, pleased with herself. ¡°Nn Ye, this youngdy already said it before. I asked you if you would be able to ept my ¡®gratitude¡¯. How does it feel right now?¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    Truly not knowing what he could say, Nn Ye currently could only think of dragging her over to him, stripping her pants off, and resolutely giving her a spanking on her butt. This ruthlessss, did she not know that this area was equivalent to a man¡¯s life, his root, and couldn¡¯t be touched casually? Yet not only did she touch it, she even used so much strength. She was practically causing his descendants to be cut off from him and be extinct. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he avoided the most crucial areas, very likely, he would truly be crippled in the future.


    Pain! Rooted unending pain!


    No matter how forbearing Nn Ye¡¯s temperament was and how much self-control he exercised, this kind of pain wasn¡¯t something that he could endure.


    It¡¯s just that......looking at this pretty face before him who he was both angry at and loving towards, he clearly wanted to give her a fierce beating, and it also wasn¡¯t that he had no strength left but rather, he actually couldn¡¯t bear to hurt her. She yed with him again. She was so cunning and clever. Time and time again, she yed with him in the palm of her hands, yet he still dly endured the hardship, enjoying her and never tired of it.


    Nn Ye smiled bitterly. It would seem that in this lifetime, he¡¯s going to fall by her hands.


    ¡°Qing Luan, did you really need to move against me so ruthlessly? Are you not afraid that you¡¯re going to be widowed in the future?¡± Nn Ye couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. He didn¡¯t know what to do with her.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion darkened as she coldly retorted, ¡°Serves you right!¡±


    But she also could no longer hold herself back as she tried to hold a stiff face, but immediately burst outughing, ¡°Haha haha......Nn Ye, does it hurt. Comfortable right? This is the consequences of your getting fresh with this youngdy! You want to bully me? This youngdy is already giving you face by not stripping you naked then throwing you out onto the streets.¡±


    Thrown onto the streets buck naked? She really even thought of something like that!


    However, if he had to choose, Nn Ye truly would rather she did this instead! So what if he was thrown onto the streets. He was a man. Would he be afraid of being seen by people? If that ever happened, whoever saw him could all be caught and cut down. Then who would live to tell the tale? In any case, it was better than this terrible pain, setting him between life and death, while he couldn¡¯t even touch her good parts!


    ¡°Qing Luan, I¡¯m already like this. You surprisingly are so heavy handed? You really have the heart to do this?¡±


    ¡°Have the heart?¡± Luo Qing Luan sneered out loud. ¡°What are you to me anyway? A thoroughly repulsive bastard. Why would I not have the heart? This time merely serves as a warning to have you remember it well. If you still dare to entertain any bad ideas about me, I¡¯ll really needle you to death like a pincushion!¡±


    She spoke these words clearly and distinctly. Nn Ye instantly understood.


    Thisss truly was still a little wildcat. She wouldn¡¯t be obedient if he didn¡¯t thoroughly tame her!


    If he didn¡¯t make her genuinely love him, no matter how many strategies he came up with, or how many tricks he used, she would only resist again and again and retaliate more and more ruthlessly. She absolutely wouldn¡¯t hold back in the slightest just because the two of them were married.


    Knitting his sword like eyebrows, following which he stretched out. As Nn Ye moved his internal energy to relieve the pain in his lower body, he pondered over contemted his future ns.


    Making Luo Qing Luan love him? This seemed to be an interesting challenge.


    Seeing Nn Ye remain quiet for a long time, Luo Qing Luan even thought that his pain was serious. Even though she wasn¡¯t a man, how could she not know about his pain at this moment? Turning things over in her mind, she recalled everything that just happened again.


    She hurt him so much that he subconsciously gripped her hand forcefully due to his agony, yet only because she cried out in pain, he immediately let her go. Under these circumstances, he still didn¡¯t hurt her and didn¡¯t even be hostile towards her. It seemed that this man could be considered to be forbearing towards her.


    ¡°Alright now. You shouldn¡¯t worry too much. I made the proper allowances when I acted.¡± Curling her lips, Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°I was merely doling out some punishment, that¡¯s all. It¡¯s good if you remember to be a bit more well-behaved in the future. I¡¯m going to write a prescription for you. You should take it with you and have someone fry it into a medicinal paste. There¡¯ll be no problem if you rub it on your body.¡±


    Once Luo Qing Luan really took up a brush and started to write, Nn Ye spoke, ¡°What kind of prescription are you writing?¡±


    He wondered whether she was messing with him again. It had happened quite a few times now. He really didn¡¯t dare to be so gullible again.


    Without noticing at all that Nn Ye was somewhat anxious, Luo Qing Luan also didn¡¯t raise her head as she replied, ¡°You don¡¯t need to know what prescription it is. In any case, it¡¯s no problem for you to use it. I¡¯ve studied much, my medical expertise is great. You should just be at ease.¡±


    Was it really like that? Was she really giving him treatment?


    Once he thought of how Luo Qing Luan had dealt with him several times in the past, Nn Ye could more or less ascertain her level of skill. A medicinal powder that could even bewilder him as well as her acupuncture needles, thisss very likely carried no small number of secrets on her body, waiting for him to slowly discover them.


    After a short period of time, Luo Qing Luan stood up and handed over the prescription she had written to Nn Ye. ¡°Take it. Put it away properly.¡±


    Taking without even looking at it, Nn Ye felt his pain diminish somewhat and finally got off the bed while rearranging his clothes. After that, he ced the prescription into his chest pocket. Tonight, he had been tormented a bit. Even though at the end, she¡¯d kicked him and he was in so much pain that he wished he were dead, when he thought back to what happened prior, the way her clothes half covered her, her attractive and seductive appearance, on the whole, he wasn¡¯t so depressed.

 Chapter 83.2 - He’ll Make Her Truly Love Him

    Chapter 83b: He¡¯ll Make Her Truly Love Him


    Sitting by the bedside, Nn Ye said faintly, ¡°If you¡¯re fine, then I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    Suddenly thinking of something, Luo Qing Luan eximed, ¡°Wait wait. Take away that rotten man under the bed.¡±


    She certainly didn¡¯t want to personally deal with that thing and get her hands dirty.


    Uttering an ¡®mn¡¯, Nn Ye extended his hand and pulled out that still unconscious man. Lifting the lecher up, he was going to leave when he heard Luo Qing Luan speak again. ¡°Also, Nn Ye, remember, after you ask someone to make that medicine, remember to apply it on yourself. If you dare to look for someone, take care that I don¡¯t find out and deal with you.¡±


    What?


    Nn Ye stopped and looked at her while asking, ¡°What do you mean by ¡®look for someone¡¯?¡±


    Seeing that he appeared to still not understand, Luo Qing Luan immediately recalled what happened previously. This man¡¯s kissing technique was so good, who knew how many tens of women he had practiced on before. If he had those women apply medicine for him again......once she thought of how many good looking, beautiful maid servants there were at the Prince of Chu¡¯s Mansion, who could very possibly use this just and honorable excuse of applying medicine to do something intimate with him, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but feel ufortable.


    If Nn Ye asked his servants toe......mmhm ~ she really didn¡¯t dare to imagine this scene. Knitting her brows, half blushing, Luo Qing Luan said irritably, ¡°Nn Ye, even though this youngdy don¡¯t like you, we are engaged after all. If you dare to have some other womane and touch you there, this youngdy will certainly change you into a eunuch! Remember, go home and apply it yourself. Are you listening!?¡±


    Nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, only now did Nn Ye know that what Luo Qing Luan was talking about was this.


    When did he even consider having someone elsee to do it? Such a private and sensitive matter, would he allow someone else to know of it?


    The anger which had been suppressed was nearly provoked again by Luo Qing Luan, yet he could only restrain his temper, not knowing whether tough or cry, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m unconditionally devoted to you. If you¡¯re willing, you can just personally provide treatment for me, no problem. How about I not leave, or maybe I might as welle here directly tomorrow to see you?¡±


    ¡°Who wants to give you treatment? Hurry and leave!¡±


    Having been taken small advantage of again by Nn Ye¡¯s words, Luo Qing Luan was so angry that her little face turned crimson. Immediately, she opened the window and said, ¡°Leave quickly!¡±


    Taking a profound nce at her, deep meaning shed through the depths of Nn Ye¡¯s eyes. Atst, he lifted that still unconscious man and climbed over the window to leave. Very quickly, he disappeared into the night.


    Finally letting out a breath in relief, Luo Qing Luan closed the window. She turned around and once again saw the big bathtub in the middle of her room.


    At this moment, it¡¯s already past 1 am, yet she still needed to put these things in order. Once she thought about how long she and Nn Ye were together just now in this room and how everybody also saw them, Luo Qing Luan felt all of her strength leaving her body. That bastard left already, but what about tomorrow? She¡¯s going to have to face so many peculiar gazes, who knew what Wang Xue Ru would be saying about her in private. All of this was caused by Nn Ye, that bastard.


    But if it wasn¡¯t for Wang Xue Ru sending Ziyu to set a trap against her, she also wouldn¡¯t have been messed with to this extent.


    Fine, in any case, it had already turned out like this. She also no longer cared. Once tomorrow arrived, she¡¯d rely on Nn Ye¡¯s power to properly have Wang Xue Ru suffer.


    Morning on the second day. Dai Yue cautiously and approached.


    Last night, she knew that the mistress¡¯ future husband came visiting. He even spent the night with the mistress in her room. It seemed that His Lordship the Prince of Chu truly liked the youngdy a lot!


    She was going to knock on the door to ask if thedy and the Prince of Chu were awake, when the door was opened by Luo Qing Luan.


    ¡°My Lady, you¡¯re surprisingly up already?¡± Dai Yue was startled.


    ¡°Dai Yue, what are you doing?¡± Luo Qing Luan saw her reaction and frowned, ¡°That¡¯s right, why didn¡¯t you wake me up earlier. There¡¯s something I have to do today.¡±


    ¡°My Lady, is thedy¡¯s husband......¡± As she spoke, Dai Yue looked around inside. Once she saw that the bathtub in the middle of the room was still there, she immediately thought of something and became embarrassed, ¡°My Lady,st night, you and mydy¡¯s husband......¡±


    ¡°What mydy¡¯s husband and what not. That bastard already left early on. Yourdy, me, am alone got that?¡±


    She had already guessed early on that it was going to be like this, but when Luo Qing Luan saw that even Dai Yue was like this, she¡¯s afraid that other people would have even wilder thoughts about what she and Nn Ye might be doing the entire night. Unable to help but turn red with anger, she pointed at Dai Yue¡¯s forehead and poked her. ¡°Dai Yue, listen well. Nn Ye and I have nothing going on between us. Last night, he merely sat for awhile then left. Nothing happened between us at all. Understand?¡±


    ¡°Ah, mydy¡¯s husband left? He didn¡¯t stay over night?¡± Dai Yue finally understood what Luo Qing Luan meant.


    ¡°No no no!¡± Frantically shaking her head as if her life depended on it, Luo Qing Luan red at Dai Yue and said word for word, ¡°Dai Yue, listen well. In the future, you¡¯re not allowed to mention this matter. If you say a single word, I¡¯ll have you sold away. Did you hear?¡±


    In a frenzy, Dai Yue nodded her head, ¡°My Lady, I got it. I absolutely won¡¯t talk about you and mydy¡¯s husband¡¯s affair fromst night.¡±


    Disinclined to correct her again, Luo Qing Luan pushed open the door and walked outside. Dai Yue immediately asked, ¡°My Lady, where are you going?¡±


    She¡¯s not in a good mood and wanted to look for trouble with Wang Xue Ru!


    However, she needed to first finish those things which she prepared to do. When the time came, she would directly infuriate her! Afterst night, everything should proceed very smoothly, right? Even if it¡¯s Luo Cheng, he still wouldn¡¯t dare to treat her like he did in the past. So what if she relied on Nn Ye¡¯s power? It¡¯d be a waste not to!


    Sending Dai Yue back to tidy up her room, Luo Qing Luan directly headed for Luo Cheng¡¯s study. After waiting for two hours, she finally waited until Luo Cheng returned from imperial court.


    Once he saw Luo Qing Luan actually in the room, Luo Cheng was a bit surprised, but he immediately walked towards her with a smile across his whole face. ¡°Qing Luan, why did you think ofing to my room today, is there something you want to tell me?¡±


    Last night, he was in a rage, wishing that he could beat her to death. Today, he changed his expression again. Luo Qing Luan had already seen through Luo Cheng early on. Having heard what he said, not only was her expression not pleasant, she didn¡¯t even get up and only said emotionlessly, ¡°I wanted to discuss a matter with you. Last night, the Prince of Chu and I already spoke of it. He felt that it¡¯s not a bad idea.¡±


    Luo Cheng stared at her slightly startled, then immediately smiled, ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Father is already almost fifty years old this year, right? You should bring in a few more concubines.¡±

 Chapter 84.1 - Give Luo Cheng a Concubine

    <h4>Chapter 84a: Give Luo Cheng a Concubine</h4>


    There had never been something like a daughter who arranged a concubine to her own father. Hearing this, Luo Cheng¡¯s face twitched. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he thought of how intimate the Prince of Chu and his daughter appearedst night, not only was she his daughter, she was also the future Princess of Chu. Otherwise, he would¡¯ve given her a good scolding.


    Feeling totally awkward, Luo Cheng said resenfully, ¡°Qing Luan, why don¡¯t you put your mind on your uing wedding. A young girl about to get married, how can she say these kinds of things?¡±


    Having made the decision early on, moreover, not feeling the least bit respectful of Luo Cheng, Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m worried about Father. Why can¡¯t I say these things? Since Father knows how to be concerned about daughter¡¯s marriage, then as a daughter, why can¡¯t I care about Father¡¯s happiness?¡±


    With one sentence, Luo Cheng¡¯s face became red, wanting to put a stop on Luo Qing Luan continuing to talk, but she simply ignored him. She sat down instead and continued seriously, ¡°Father, I¡¯m not making a joke. Mother already passed away over ten years ago. In the past, I even thought that Father¡¯s Concubine was good to you. Butter on, I found out that she actually was even my mother¡¯s murderer. How can I tolerate her?¡±


    Towards the end, her tone of voice already deepened and carried a tinge of severity.


    Luo Cheng was already worried about this matter to begin with. Having heard what was said, he frowned, ¡°Qing Luan, I know you¡¯re worried, but your mother already passed away for so long. Is it possible that you¡¯ve misunderstood this matter? Your Father¡¯s concubine put a lot of effort for the sake of this family. Moreover, she really cares a lot about me. This matter that you¡¯re talking about......¡±


    It¡¯s not that he had no suspicions in his heart, but in the end, there¡®s fifteen years worth of affection between them. Moreover, this matter is too big. Luo Cheng instinctively wants to avoid it. He clearly already discovered a lot of suspicious points, but he already didn¡¯t want to inquire about Wang Xue Ru and didn¡¯t want to start an investigation even more. Because once he confirmed that this matter was true, he doesn¡¯t know whether he can bear it or not.


    ¡°Father, do you not believe your daughter?¡± Luo Qing Luanplexion darkened at once.


    She strenuously carried out an investigation and already outlined everything so clearly. This father of hers surprisingly didn¡¯t believe her and even found excuses for Wang Xue Ru? Sure enough, that man who used to love her beloved mother already died. He was in fact a muddleheaded, cowardly dotard who only took the easy way out.


    Luo Cheng felt ashamed, but as before, he didn¡¯t want things to be a big deal. He paused before taking a breath in and continued, ¡°Qing Luan, you should understand Father. During the previous period of time, your paternal grandmother sent someone to send word that your father¡¯s concubine had purchased some very nice perfume. She liked it a lot, and she even said that she¡¯ll be returning after a period of time. If your grandmother returns to discover that our home has turned into one big mess, how will she not be broken-hearted?¡±


    Grandmother? Luo Qing Luan suddenly froze a bit.


    This name which had not been heard from Luo Cheng¡¯s mouth for a long time was so unfamiliar to her. Even though from her memories, she knew that this person was Luo Cheng¡¯s birth mother and her blood rted grandmother, this person already left their home a year ago. She¡¯d always been residing at the capital¡¯srgest temple to cultivate and hadn¡¯t returned home for a long time.


    The General Mansion¡¯s grand madam actually did not live at home, but stayed at Puguo Temple year round instead. There was naturally a reason for this. Aged parents naturally wished for the family to be more blessed and have more descendants as well as for everyone to get along. But Luo Cheng was already in histe forties, yet did not have a son. Grand Madam Luo persuaded Luo Cheng to take a new concubine, but encountered Wang Xue Ru¡¯s opposition. In a fury, she left for Puguo Temple and recited Buddhist scripture, worshiping Buddha to pray for a son for the Luo family. Once she left, it¡¯s been a year.


    Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan realized that this was the best excuse, not bing angry and smiling instead. ¡°Grandmother is returning?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Mn, your wedding is next month. No matter what, your grandmother wille back. Last time, she was invited back to preside over Qing Shuang¡¯s wedding, but your grandmother refuse. This time, I was actually also not hopeful, and merely had someone send her an invitation to return home casually. Who knew your grandmother agreed instead.¡± Once Luo Cheng said this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart suddenly warmed. This grandmother very likely was sincerely fond of her noble born granddaughter in the past, right?


    Suppressing the burst of warmth, Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°Since Father also wishes Grandmother to be happy, then you should know well why Grandmother left for Puguo temple at the time. Now that Grandmother is returning home, don¡¯t tell me Father still wants Grandmother to be disappointed?¡±


    Having said this, she stood up filled with respect, ¡°Your daughter is going to be rude here, but I still need to tell Father. Our Luo family doesn¡¯t have a male heir. Father, you won¡¯t go so far as to hope that our Luo family¡¯s fire will be extinguished and ruined in your hands, right? No matter whether Father believes in Wang Xue Ru, I still ask Father to consider Grandmother¡¯s feelings for a bit. There are three ways to be unfilial; having no sons is the worst (quote from Mencius). Elder Sister and I have married. Every adult male at home have been incapable.¡±


    Having been reprimanded like this by his daughter, Luo Cheng found it difficult to respond.


    For so many years, he had been drowning in sorrow from his beloved wife¡¯s death and simply had no heart to remarry. Afterwards, he had been entangled with Wang Xue Ru. Gradually, any intention to remarry was severed. At present, Luo Qing Luan used his own elderly mother to provide righteous justification for him to take a concubine. On the one hand, he felt that this didn¡¯t conform to customary practices while also feeling awkward. Even if he thought this way in his heart, he still couldn¡¯t say it out loud.


    How could Luo Qing Luan not realize what¡¯s on Luo Cheng¡¯s mind? There were some men who were in position to take some small advantages, yet still wanted to show that they¡¯re well-behaved. In regards to these kinds of men, even if it was her father, she still needed to spank him and force him to swallow lock, stock and barrel. Everything depended on one word, ¡®speed¡¯.


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve already discussed this matter with the Prince of Chust night.¡±


    At least, she should exin what happenedst night. Luo Qing Luan actually didn¡¯t want Luo Cheng to misunderstand that. ¡°Father, the Prince of Chu already said that he¡¯s willing to help Father first take a look and see if there¡¯s a suitable daughter from an official¡¯s family. It doesn¡¯t matter even if she¡¯s a concubine¡¯s daughter, as long as she has good moral character and is gentle, it¡¯s fine. As for me, haven¡¯t I brought Sister Hongyu homest time for a visit? I can tell that Hongyu admires Father a lot. If Father¡¯s willing, I¡¯ll go tell her. It¡¯s possible that she will truly be a member of our family.¡±


    Hongyu? Luo Cheng suddenly recalled that female guest who visited their homest time. Arms like jade with red lips. Eyes like spring water, even possessing a youngdy¡¯s bashfulness increasing her loveliness endlessly. He instantly became excited, somewhat not daring to believe it¡¯s true. ¡°Qing Luan, you, you said that Hongyu......¡±

 Chapter 84.2 - Give Luo Cheng a Concubine

    Chapter 84b: Give Luo Cheng a Concubine


    ¡°What, Father doesn¡¯t remember her?¡± Luo Qing Luan deliberately asked.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not it. How can Father not remember her?¡± Luo Cheng restrained his eagerness and probingly asked, ¡°What did you say just now? Did you say that Miss Hong, she, she admires me? This is not possible, right?¡±


    Seeing that Luo Cheng indeed took the bait, and even appeared so impatient, Luo Qing Luan disdained in her heart, but she still smiled and replied, ¡°How can it not be. After Father left, Hongyu even asked many times. I told her stories about how Father used to fight in wars. She kept saying what a great hero Father is.¡±


    Luo Cheng smiled at once, unable to conceal his happiness. ¡°Qing Luan, how can you brag so groundlessly. If word were to spread, people will reallyugh.¡± Having just said this, he immediately again fervently asked, ¡°However, you said that Hongyu......to have you discuss these things with her, I¡¯m afraid it might not be too good, right? Father understands your sense of filial piety, but I¡¯m getting on in age after all. I actually regard Hongyu like a daughter, really......¡±


    Luo Qing Luan immediately answered, ¡°Look at what Father is saying. Hongyu really admires Father quite a bit. She even told me that she¡¯s currently living at a courtesan house, not sure about the oue of her precarious state. Even though her body remains pure at present, she really can¡¯t guarantee when......Father, don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re willing to look on unfeelingly as Hongyu, such a good woman, bes defiled by those shameless scoundrels? If Father bring her in as a minor concubine, at least you¡¯ll still give her a ce to call home. If she were to give birth to a son for our Luo family in the future, if worstes to worst, Father can raise her to be a concubine. Wouldn¡¯t this satisfy the best of both worlds?¡± Take Hongyu to be his minor concubine? Once he thought about if this matter became reality, Luo Cheng¡¯s heart felt as if it¡¯s been scratched by a cat and began to itch. If the person before his eyes wasn¡¯t his daughter, he really would¡¯ve been unable to wait.


    ¡°Alright now, Father, I¡¯ve already said this much. You give it some thought. Furthermore, in regards to Grandmother, do you have the heart to disappoint her? If Father doesn¡¯t have any other opinion, then tomorrow, I¡¯ll go tell Hongyu. I still need to reply to the Prince of Chu and help Father look at two more daughters from good families. After all, giving me one more brother and not have our Luo family cut short is an important matter. Don¡¯t be too stubborn, Father.¡±


    After she finished speaking, Luo Qing Luan left right away, leaving an utterly confused, but more and more excited Luo Cheng, to the extent that he became somewhat impatient.


    That¡¯s true, why must he be so stubborn? Taking in a concubine was not only for the sake of his mother¡¯s happiness, at the same time, it¡¯s also to carry on the Luo family¡¯s ancestral line. Even the Prince of Chu¡¯s face could not be slighted. There¡¯s also Hongyu......that woman was indeed pitiful. He also didn¡¯t have the heart to watch her continue to live at a brothel. If he could help her a bit......


    Having so many reasons very quickly dispelled thest trace of misgivings in Luo Cheng¡¯s heart. By the time Luo Qing Luan told him she¡¯s going to the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion to give a reply the following day, Luo Cheng no longer refuse at all. He only asked her to go early and return quickly, acting totally like apassionate father, without mentioning anything about Wang Xue Ru anymore.


    Having discussed everything with Hongyu early on, looking for Nn Ye to find suitable women was also simple. Before half a month had passed, Luo Qing Luan had already finished taking care of arranging concubines for Luo Cheng. Only at this moment did Wang Xue Ru react. The fact was that Luo Qing Luan concealed the matter too well. Moreover, she moved too quickly.


    ¡°Side Madam, the master really stayed at Lc Courtyard yesterday. That woman from the brothel was indeed a troublesome hussy. She actually hooked the master......¡±


    Ziyu had been beaten to death. Presently, the one by Wang Xue Ru¡¯s side was a recently promoted second ss servant girl named Dujuan.


    Since yesterday, she already knew of this matter. Wang Xue Ru was so angry that she didn¡¯t go see Luo Cheng for an entire day. She even thought that he¡¯de an exin himself by night time. Unexpectedly, not only did he note, he even enjoyed another woman¡¯s bed for the whole night. He seriously stayed overnight at that courtesan woman¡¯s room.


    So angry that herplexion ashened, Wang Xue Ru naturally knew that the one who came up with the idea was Luo Qing Luan. But the current Luo Qing Luan was no longer the stupid girl who she could pinch at will. She simply was no longer someone who she could provoke. The more Wang Xue Ru thought about it, the angrier she became. Clenching her teeth, with a wave of her hand, the cups and tes of fruits in front of her were sent smashing to the ground.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the master now?¡± She said through clenched teeth.


    She couldn¡¯t directly mess with Luo Qing Luan, but could it be that she still couldn¡¯t deal with a few minor concubines? Since they were arranged by Luo Qing Luan, then her dealing with these minor concubines was the same as pping Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face. She¡¯s in fact the side madam, was it possible that she couldn¡¯t teach a few minor concubines some rules?


    Dujuan hastily answered, ¡°Replying to Side Madam, the master had only just awaken. Should this servant go invite......¡±


    pping the table Wang Xue Ru angrily retorted. ¡°Forget the invite. Just wait here. I don¡¯t believe that a few minor concubines won¡¯te to pay their respects to me.¡± The General¡¯s Mansion didn¡¯t have a primary wife, an actual ¡®Madam¡¯. As the ¡®side madam¡¯, she already had the highest status. She wanted to see if those flirty hussies had the guts to dare challenge her prestige openly.


    Since she needed to give these minor concubines a lesson, then she naturally couldn¡¯t allow people to see the fury in her heart. On the contrary, she¡¯s going to make sure to mess with them in such a way that there¡¯s no one they couldin to. Only in that way would it be worth watching that loathsome girl¡¯s expression.


    Very quickly, Dujuan finished tidying up Wang Xue Ru¡¯s room, then boiled a pot of fragrant tea for her. She sat upright and still simr to a main wife waiting for those minor concubines toe pay respects to her.


    But she waited until almost eleven am. Wang Xue Ru already sat until her back ached, yet the other people were slow ining. She only saw Luo Qing Luan and Hongyu holding hands walking towards her with smiles across their entire faces. Behind them, there were even two youngdies with their hair worn in the style of married women.

 Chapter 85.1 - Who’s Slapping Whose Face

    Chapter 85a: Who¡¯s pping Whose Face


    <h4></h4>


    ¡°Oh yeah,ter on, Hongyu, you shoulde to my room. I¡¯ll give that hairpin to you. It¡¯ll surely look good on you.¡±


    ¡°Then I really thank you. I won¡¯t be modest with you.¡±


    Hearing Luo Qing Luan and that woman from the brothel conversing smilingly, appearing both happy and intimate. Wang Xue Ru, who had already been waiting until her buttocks became numb, felt her lungs nearly blow up in rage. But she simply couldn¡¯t express anything. As before, she appeared nonchnt. Slowly, she put down the teacup. A smile was even stered on her face.


    Only after she entered did Luo Qing Luan seemed as if she just saw Wang Xue Ru and said with a smile, ¡°Oh, is Father¡¯s Concubine drinking tea? Just now, I coincidentally ran into Hongyu. They said that they wanted toe pay their respects to you. I was thinking that I haven¡¯t seen you for several days, so I followed them.¡±


    Without waiting for Wang Xue Ru to say anything, Luo Qing Luan sat down as if just minding her own business.


    An attitude like that was exactly as if Graceful Orchids Courtyard belonged to her. Watching this, Wang Xue Ru hated to the point her heart burned.


    Were it not for consideration of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s status, which reminded her to not offend at all times, she would¡¯ve taught Luo Qing Luan a lesson early on. Wang Xue Ru could only swallow this anger as she turned her gun around and pointed it at the three young women standing before her. These were the opponents who she currently wanted to p in the face.


    ¡°Greetings, Elder Sister, Hongyu wishes Elder Sister good health.¡± As she was thinking, to the front, a gentle and beautiful voice sounded. Hearing it, Wang Xue Ru¡¯s eyelids trembled.


    With a sweep of her eyes, she sized Hongyu up indifferently from head to toe.


    Dressed in a light apricot color embroidered top which set off her pleated light purple skirt underneath, her thick hair was like silk, with a pair of round eyes which contained quite a few expressions. Her eyes were slightly lowered, as if she was being very respectful, while not looking at her at all. But once she saw Hongyu¡¯s somewhat slightly swollen lips, an obscure fire red up.


    Last night, she and the Master on her bed were......this damn vixen, deserving of someoneing from a brothel. She surprisingly seduced the Master to do this to her. He actually practically bit her lips swollen. Moreover, this vixen even caused her to see it openly. Wasn¡¯t she deliberately showing off?


    Wang Xue Ru had already been together with Luo Cheng for twenty years. Although ordinarily, Luo Cheng could be said to treat her pretty well, in the end, their rtionship was no longer new like before. Even the frequency with which they did those things became less and less. She even thought that it was because Luo Cheng was getting along in years and no longer had these desires. Who could have imagined? Seeing Hongyu now, she was both jealous and envious in anger.


    Not saying a word, Wang Xue Ru looked indifferently at Hongyu curtsying with half bended knees. After that, her gaze turned towards the two women behind her.


    Once they saw her gaze sweeping over them, the two women also saluted in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. They said softly, ¡°Greetings Elder Sister, wishing Elder Sister good health.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru knew that these two women were also arranged by Luo Qing Luan toe. One was named Zhangzhi, the other was named Songzhi. As for where they came from, she wasn¡¯t clear about.


    Zhangshi and Songshi¡¯s appearances could be considered pretty, but were merely like the majority of young women. When it came to looks, at most, they were only half as good as Hongyu. However, although Wang Xue Ru did not know them, she could still faintly sense that this Zhangshi and Songzhi had an imposing manner about them, as if they did note from small, irrelevant families. But she wanted to carefully observe. These two women only half lowered their heads and waited. She could not perceive any characteristics from them at all.


    Since she couldn¡¯t tell, Wang Xue Ru took it as her being overly sensitive and didn¡¯t say anything in reply. She even ignored Hongyu, who had paid her respects previously then coughed while saying indifferently, ¡°Recently, the weather turned cold. Dujuan,ter on, tell the kitchen to make some nourishing soups. It¡¯s better if it¡¯s sleek.¡±


    Dujuan immediately replied, ¡°Yes, Side Madam. You usually like to drinking bird¡¯s nest with white fungus soup, is that alright?¡±


    ¡°En. Let¡¯s have that, it¡¯s eptable. Remember to remind them to use the best blood swallow, the best blood swallow from Nine Treasures store.¡±


    Mistress and servant conversed slowly, without looking at the three women still standing with bended knees before them.


    Wang Xue Ru nced at the three of them, and remained silent as before. Instead, she looked at Luo Qing Luan, ¡°Oh yeah, Qing Luan, yesterday, your Elder Sister sent someone to invite me......¡±


    She hadn¡¯t finished speaking when Luo Qing Luan already broke her off. She seemed to also have just thought of something, saying with a smile, ¡°Sigh, Hongyu, stop standing there so rigidly. Father¡¯s Concubine and I are having a conversation. You should sit, too. Also Zhangzhi, Songshi, you guys can also stop standing already. The General¡¯s Mansion really doesn¡¯t have as many rules as the ce you resided formerly. Sit.¡±


    Hearing this Wang Xue Ru¡¯s gaze constricted and saw that Hongyu indeed stood up. She even pat her knees appearing not worried in the least. After that, she walked to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side and sat down. Whereas Zhangzhi and Songzhi was even more respectful as they spoke to Luo Qing Luan, ¡°Yes, thank you Miss Luo.¡±


    Unexpectedly, they didn¡¯t attach any importance to a side madam like her? Instead listening to Luo Qing Luan? Seeing Zhangzhi and Songzhi walk and stand behind Luo Qing Luan, in a docile manner, as if Luo Qing Luan was actually thedy in charge here, simply not cing her in their eyes. They im to havee to pay respects to her, but they¡¯re simply just......


    ¡°Even though the discipline in General¡¯s Mansion can notpare to that of some families, it¡¯s still not as if this ce has no discipline.¡± Wang Xue Ru really couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She coldly adopted the attitude of a mistress of the house. ¡°Did I tell the three of you to sit down? You¡¯re merely three minor concubines so you unavoidably don¡¯t know too much about eptable behaviors.¡±


    She even thought that once the words left her mouth, Hongyu and the others would all be scared. Unexpectedly, only Hongyu smiled a bit before responding, ¡°Elder Sister, it¡¯s like this. Actually, early this morning, when Master left, he told me that I don¡¯t need to go to pay my respects to you today. He took pity on me for my tirednessst night and allowed me to rest well. Since Elder Sister said that I need to be well-behaved, then tonight I¡¯d better ask Master again.¡±

 Chapter 85.2 - Who’s Slapping Whose Face?

    Chapter 85b: Who¡¯s pping Whose Face?


    Luo Cheng allowed this vixen to not have to pay her respects? He even said that she¡¯s tired, so she should rest well?


    Hearing these several sentences made Wang Xue Ru nearly go insane. This girl was clearly showing off.


    Without waiting for her to speak, Luo Qing Luan smiled again, ¡°Hongyu, it¡¯s been hard on you. If you can give birth to a son for my father, then that would really be great.¡±


    ¡°Qing Luan, look at what you¡¯re saying.¡± Hongyu bashfully lowered her head.


    Luo Qing Luan again spoke indifferently to Wang Xue Ru, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, don¡¯t me Hongyu anymore. She served Father so is naturally tired. Moreover, Father even hopes that she¡¯ll be able to carry on Luo family¡¯s ancestral line soon. What discipline can paying some respects amount to. Forget it, no need. Father wouldn¡¯t object to it.¡±


    Object? That man with no conscience. The minute he saw a young, beautiful woman, his soul already flew away. How could he still have any objections? Wang Xue Ru clenched her hands tightly, no angry that her fingernails nearly dug into her flesh, but she was the most respected side madam. She had to maintain herposure in front of these three women. She absolutely wouldn¡¯t reveal the slightest bit of a w.


    Turning her eyes, she stared at Zhangzhi and Songzhi, saying in a cold voice, ¡°Then how about the two of you. You guys didn¡¯t serve the masterst night. Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re also tired? Did I allow the two of you to sit down? Such bad manners. Can it be that you want to taste our General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s family discipline?¡±


    ¡°Not honoring the mistress of the family, a vitor to be caned twenty times.¡± Dujuan immediately chimed in.


    Thinking that the two of them would be so scared that they would be at a loss, Wang Xue Ru was ready to watch their expressions as they lost their heads out of fear. But she waited for some time, yet Zhangzhi and Songzhi surprisingly didn¡¯t even say anything, not to mention standing up to admit their mistakes.


    The two of them seemed as if they didn¡¯t hear anything and were even smiling behind Luo Qing Luan as they whispered softly into each other¡¯s ears. They totally didn¡¯t pay any attention to her.


    ¡°Zhangzhi, Songzhi!¡± Wang Xue Ru was practically steaming. She couldn¡¯t help but yell loudly.


    Appearing as if they just heard, Zhangzhi and Songzhi finally stopped whispering. They looked at her, smiling from ear to ear. ¡°Did Elder Sister call us? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°You guys......you guys......¡± Such undisguised disrespect, how could Wang Xue Ru endure it. Immediately pping the table, she shouted, ¡°What nerve. You guys are merely some minor concubines that the master took in, nothing more, yet you actually don¡¯t even listen to me? Are you guys thinking of rebelling?¡±


    ¡°Eh? What¡¯s Elder Sister saying?¡± Zhangzhi didn¡¯t get angry, appearing to be totally baffled, ¡°We¡¯re minor concubines who were married off to the master only yesterday, so how can Elder Sister say those things of us? Originally, when Elder Sister first joined this household, weren¡¯t you also a minor concubine, the same as us?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, even though Elder Sister is now a side madam at the General¡¯s Mansion, after all is said and done, you¡¯re just like us, starting out as a minor concubine, what¡¯s there to look down on us for?¡± Songzhi by her side also responded indifferently. ¡°Moreover, it seems that there¡¯s also nothing great about Elder Sister¡¯s family. Presently, it has already suffered a reversal of fortune, only a younger brother is left doing some small business in Guangping City. Compared with our maiden families, heh heh......Younger Sister is new here, so I won¡¯t say too much to avoid Elder Sister from bing unhappy.¡±


    Zhangzhi and Songzhi sessively pressed from either side, speech concealing sarcasm, sparing no politeness, irritating Wang Xue Ru to the point she almost flew into a rage.


    Smashing the teacup in front of her, she nearly jumped up, ¡°You guys......you guys are totally impudent, you actually dare to mock me......Qing Luan, are these the kind of minor concubines you¡¯ve arranged for your father? Where did you find these bad mannered uneducated barbaric women?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan seemed startled and replied, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, Zhangzhi and Songzhi certainly have nothing to do with me. I¡¯m only acquainted with Hongyu. They¡¯re people who the Prince of Chu helped father find. It seems that Zhangzhi.....oh right, Zhangzhi, where¡¯s your maiden home, I can¡¯t remember.¡±


    Zhangzhi immediately respectfully answered, ¡°In reply to Miss Luo¡¯s question, this servant¡¯s father is Yuan Lin prefecture¡¯s prefectural magistrate, Zhang Junyi. I¡¯m a concubine¡¯s daughter. There are two older brothers above me as well as an older sister.¡±


    Without waiting for Luo Qing Luan to ask her, Songzhi also answered softly, ¡°Miss Luo, this servant lives a bit closer than Elder Sister Zhang, at the capital. My father is the minister of Honglu Temple, Song Huaiyuan. My mother is his third wife. I also have an older brother as well as two younger sisters.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru already stiffened from head to toe,pletely stupefied. Her brain was a big nk space. She even thought that she had Zhangzhi and Songzhi in the palm of her hands, but never could have thought that their maiden homes surprisingly were......how could shepare with them? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they were born of concubines, and if it wasn¡¯t for the Prince of Chu¡¯s rmendation, it¡¯s likely that Luo Cheng simply could forget about taking these two women as his concubines, right?


    And she even believed just now that she could lean on her position as the side madam to suppress those two. She never imagined that the two of them were basically just not putting on airs. It turned out that they felt it was beneath their dignity to mind her. Besides that Hongyu who came from Immortal Dream Tower, she simply couldn¡¯tpare to them. But now that Luo Cheng had been enchanted by Hongyu, and even hoped that Hongyu would birth a son, she¡¯s afraid that her position was no longer safe!


    At the beginning, she even wanted to properly face p them, and give Luo Qing Luan a lesson on lowering her face. Who could have imagined, however, that she could distinctly feel a crisising on. If she still couldn¡¯t think of a way to save the situation, once they really gave Luo Cheng a son, she absolutely would be ruthlessly abandoned by Luo Cheng in the end.


    rmed into sweating bullets from head to toe, she didn¡¯t even realize when Luo Qing Luan and the Hongyu group started to leave.


    She sat there stunned for a long time. After so many years, Wang Xue Ru could feel a sense of crisis yet again.


    That won¡¯t do. She absolutely couldn¡¯t just sit and wait for death! She¡¯s going to visit Fifth Prince¡¯s mansion to look for her only trustworthy daughter, Luo Qing Shuang and consult with her!

 Chapter 86.1 - Slap Her For Me

    <h4>Chapter 86a: p Her For Me</h4>


    <h4></h4>


    With about half a month to go until her wedding, Luo Qing Luan totally acted like she wasn¡¯t aware she¡¯s going to get married. Each day, she leisurely ate and sleep. After sleeping, she yed. During her free time, she wrote little racy romance novels, and drew some erotic illustrations. When bored, she looked for Zhangzhi and Songzhi to chat. Whether they conversed openly or discreetly, they were all perceptive and clever.


    May weather gradually heated up. If this year was the same as during prior years, her little shabby courtyard would¡¯ve been both damp and dpidated. This year, though, not only did it lookpletely new, the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion even sent people to send over sour plum tea as well as all kinds of other cool treats. Luo Qing Luan tasted them without eating much. She portioned them all and bestowed them to her maids and servants.


    Folded papers were disyed on the desk in front of her window. She was drawing.


    She was the only person in the room. What she was drawing was naturally the most recent increasing popr erotic illustrations. This was her secret. Even Dai Yu was sent outside to guard the door, not allowing anyone toe in as they wished.


    Using the finest brush, Luo Qing Luan drew with focused attention. In the blink of an eye, a captivating man appeared on the paper. Sturdy muscles which did not appear too excessive finely and meticulously portrayed a powerful yet beautiful man¡¯s body. Even if it was her, she couldn¡¯t help but recall that night.


    That¡¯s right, today¡¯s painting was drawn based on Nn Ye¡¯s body. It¡¯s just that because the rtionship between the two of them was going to change soon, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t draw Nn Ye¡¯s face. Rather, she changed it a little bit. However, even if this was the case, she still could guarantee that this little racy novel with the apanying illustrations was capable of increasing the sales volume by twenty percent. With merely a look, she could tell what kind of selling power it possessed.


    Having made no small amount of money recently, Luo Qing Luan was pleased as her writing became more and more interesting.


    However, she also didn¡¯t n on continuing this work for her whole life. These little racy romance novels earned a lot of money, but she couldn¡¯t continue to write them on her own for a lifetime. She needed to think of some other ways of earning money before she could feel reassured. For something like money, the more the better.


    ¡°My Lady, have you heard. They¡¯re talking about it again.¡± Dai Yue¡¯s voice transmitted from outside the window. This little girl, even though she was outside guarding, she chatted continuously without stopping for hours, as if her mouth was incapable of staying idle. ¡°It seems like the side madam is arguing again with Zhangzhi and Songzhi. They¡¯re being quite noisy.¡± Slightly pausing her brush, Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently not caring too much about it.


    Since she started to arrange for Luo Cheng to have three additional minor concubines, she already knew that this would be the oue.


    When she found Hongyu at Immortal Dream Tower, she originally wanted to lure Luo Cheng into taking the bait using Hongyu¡¯s reputation and beauty. But afterwards, she felt that Hongyu¡¯s character was really not bad. Moreover, Hongyu also didn¡¯t wish to be at a brothel for her entire life. After learning about her n, Hongyu voluntarily coordinated to lend her a hand. Since Hongyu wanted to separate herself from this kind of life, she was therefore getting her wish and of course moved with the beat readily.


    As for Zhangzhi and Songzhi, they were a result of her asking Nn Ye to find two people who Wang Xue Ru could not afford to provoke. When the time came, these several people would be contending with each other like fires vying for the skies. She could just enjoy watching the bustling scene as a spectator while throwing Luo Cheng¡¯s thoughts into disorder at the same time. If Wang Xue Ru could also be tormented to the point of being half dead, she would be happy.


    Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t say anything, but Dai Yue was excitedly scouting out news and came back after a while. ¡°My Lady, why are you still inside and haven¡¯te out? They¡¯re saying that the side madam ran crying to the master. The result was that she got a piece of his mind instead. It seems that she¡¯d been shorting Lady Hongyu¡¯s meals, wanting to cause her to have trouble giving birth......¡±


    How¡¯s that possible? Eating a bit less could cause birthing difficulties? Hongyu also didn¡¯t know what to say to Luo Cheng, but there¡¯s still her!


    Once she thought about how Wang Xue Ru had been lectured, Luo Qing Luan became cheerful and asked, ¡°Dai Yue, do you really like hearing these things that much?¡±


    ¡°My Lady, I just don¡¯t like side madam, you know.¡± Dai Yue felt embarrassed all of a sudden as she bashfully continued, ¡°In the past, she bullied us so much. It¡¯s great, now. She¡¯d been reprimanded by Master. My anger dissolved some hearing about it.¡±


    Indeed she¡¯s such a simple girl, also unafraid that saying these things could be overheard by other people.


    ¡°Fine now. You should only observe, but don¡¯t b. In the future, there¡¯ll be enough for you to watch.¡± As Luo Qing Luan was writing, she was talking.


    This was just the beginning. There¡¯ll be much more in the future. Wang Xue Ru, that malicious woman. Harmed her mother and also killed her nanny. This enmity most certainly would slowly be settled with interest. She most certainly should be given a taste of her own medicine and more!


    Brush meeting the paper neither slowly nor swiftly, another hour passed. Luo Qing Luan finally finished drawing for today, then put away the paper and brushes before opening the door.


    ¡°My Lady, are you finished with your work?¡± Dai Yue seemed to be very bored. Once she heard the sound of the door opening, she promptly came over excitedly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go out.¡± Luo Qing Luan said emotionlessly. Boss Li was still waiting for hertest work. Since she had some time right now, she should take the opportunity to send it over right away. Otherwise, after a few days, she¡¯s really going to get married and wouldn¡¯t have the time.


    ¡°You want to leave the house? Sure thing, sure thing.¡± With mention of going out, she got excited. Dai Yue quickly nodded and dly followed behind Luo Qing Luan.


    But they hadn¡¯t left the house when they ran into a group of maids and servants majesticallying over. They were all unfamiliar and not from the General¡¯s Mansion. Luo Qing Luan was somewhat baffled when she saw that in between them, like a moon surrounded by stars, Luo Qing Shuang sat on a handcart carried on two people¡¯s shoulders while dressed up in her best clothes. They came over with a great impetus.


    Luo Qing Luan was slightly dumbfounded. She didn¡¯t hear about Luo Qing Shuanging home? Why did shee and even with such great fanfare?

 Chapter 86.2 - Slap Her for Me

    <h4>Chapter 86b: p Her for Me</h4>


    After some consideration, Luo Qing Luan realized what¡¯s going on. Most likely, Wang Xur Ru had entrusted someone to send her a verbal message, so that shee home to support her mother, right? Otherwise, why would she be dressed up so meticulously, exactly as if she¡¯s going to pay a visit to the empress?


    Reclining on the handcart, Luo Qing Shuang looked poised and noble, with dangling hairpins and dangling ruby earrings rocking back and forth. Her eyebrows were like brush strokes as her hand stroked her slightly swelling belly, not concealing it in the least. Instead, the corners of her mouth even exposed an obvious hint of pride.


    The contingent directly walked inside. Besides the head manager who led at the front who saw Luo Qing Luan and nodded at her from far away with an enchanting smile, the rest of the people seemed as if they didn¡¯t see her. Only when the shoulder handcart almost passed by did Luo Qing Shuang seemed to notice and uttered, ¡°Wait wait......¡±


    She turned her head around, pretending to be surprised as she said, ¡°Aiya, it really is Younger Sister? I nearly didn¡¯t see you!¡±


    After saying so, the two servants carrying her on their shoulders let her down and immediately two servants came up to meet her. One to her left and one to her right, they lent their arms to support her, afraid Luo Qing Shuang would trip and fall. Watching her walking slowly step by step as if this level ground could cause her to slip at any time, Luo Qing Luan smilingly said, ¡°It¡¯s been a while since we¡¯ve seen each other. Elder Sister seems to even have trouble walking and needs people to help you?¡±


    Luo Qing Shuang didn¡¯t reply and instead, the servant by her side answered, ¡°The Second Miss Luo seems to be unaware, but our Lady, the imperial side concubine¡¯s pregnancy ising along. Fifth Prince repeatedly instructed us to carefully take care of Her Lady, the Imperial Side Concubine, and can¡¯t be careless.¡±


    Luo Qing Shuang smiled rathercently. ¡°It made sense that Fifth Prince was nervous. Younger Sister doesn¡¯t know, but he especially invited the imperial physician to examine me. He said that I¡¯m carrying a little heir. This will indeed be Fifth Prince¡¯s first child. It¡¯s only reasonable to be a bit more careful so as to avoid that thing without eyes to bump into me again. How can I exin myself to Fifth Prince if that happened?¡±


    Even though she was speaking cheerfully, filled with pleasantness, once Luo Qing Luan heard these words, she knew her sister was talking about her. In the past, she pushed Luo Qing Shuang into the pond. No doubt Luo Qing Shuang recalled this enmity at this time and couldn¡¯t keep herself from making snide remarks when they met. This is still light.


    From the ostentatious disy ining home today, she had undoubtedlye to make trouble.


    Once she heard these words, Luo Qing Luan dispelled thoughts of going to pay Boss Li a visit. Luo Qing Shuang came back to look for trouble, but she reckoned that she wouldn¡¯t make a move against her openly. It¡¯s more likely she would deal with Hongyu, Zhangzhi, and Songzhi, helping her mother make a scene. This was probably unavoidable.


    Thinking of this, Luo Qing Luan smiled indifferently. ¡°You¡¯re right, Elder Sister, Fifth Prince attached such importance to this child, it may be assumed that he¡¯ll certainly be very fond of it in the future. Elder Sister should take good care of your body and give birth to a princely heir soon. At that time, it will be the Fifth Prince Mansion¡¯s first heir. Even if he marries a principal imperial consort in the future. Based on this point alone, she still won¡¯t be able topare to Elder Sister.¡±


    After these words sounded, Luo Qing Luang seemed to have thought of something and grinned, ¡°Speaking of this, it seems that the child in Elder Sister¡¯s belly is the same as Elder Sister? The mothers are both side concubines, yet have the highest ranks, heh heh......what a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°You......¡± Her words which carried no anger actually made Luo Qing Shuang so angry that she ground her teeth.


    She merely called Luo Qing Luan ¡®a thing with no eyes¡¯ without thinking much about it, yet the other promptly talked back. That girl even brought up the sore point with bothered her the most in her entire life! Her status as an imperial side concubine and her mother as a side concubine. This was a shame that couldn¡¯t be washed for a lifetime!


    It was for the sake of taking back her mother¡¯s prestige that she¡¯s going to properly put those women in their ce. If she could force her father to promote her mother to the position of main wife, then that would be best.


    Great ns could be ruined by a little impatience. Since Luo Qing Luan was already not someone who she could deal with easily, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯splexion changed from pale to flushed to pale. Finally, she was able to suppress her anger and responded indifferently, ¡°Isn¡¯t Younger Sister getting married? I¡¯m going to visit Mother, so won¡¯t continue talking to you.¡±


    Seeing that she was leaving, Luo Qing Luan actually followed her beaming with smiles. ¡°It¡¯s so rare for Elder Sister toe back, how can I still go out? In any case, I have nothing to do. I¡¯ll juste with you to visit Father¡¯s Concubine. I just heard that father scolded Father¡¯s Concubine. I reckon that she may still be crying. I came back just in time. Let¡¯s go right away......¡±


    She hadn¡¯t finished speaking when Luo Qing Shuang¡¯splexion changed greatly. How would she still be able to suppress her temper. She immediately quickened her footsteps left.


    Following behind Luo Qing Shuang, Luo Qing Luan thought that she would directly go find Wang Xue Ru. Who knew after her elder sister heard a few things from her, the housekeeper leading the way turned towards another direction. He surprisingly advanced towards Lc Courtyard.


    ......


    Inside Lc Courtyard, Hongyu was strumming the zither. The melodious, sweet-sounding music reverberated throughout the entire courtyard, prompting the little birds to chirp endlessly as theynded on the treetops, brimming with peace and contentment. Shui Rou, the maid serving by her side was also intoxicated by the music, listening with eyes narrowed while disying an entranced expression.


    ¡°Where is this noiseing from? It¡¯s dirtying my ears!¡± Suddenly, an annoyed voice sounded and the zither music came to a stop. Hongyu turned her head to take a look and saw a morous woman dressed in a pce dressing in, looking at her with an entirely gloomy face.


    ¡°You¡¯re......¡± Hongyu had never seen this woman before and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°What big nerves. You¡¯ve seen our imperial side concubine yet actually still hasn¡¯t kneeled down to pay your respects. You¡¯re so offensive andcking in manners. Really should be beaten!¡± The servant by the woman¡¯s side immediately charge forward intimidatingly, face filled with an ominous glint.


    Hongyu was rmed and was going to resolve the situation when the poised woman spoke emotionlessly, ¡°p her for me!¡±

 Chapter 87.1 - She’s Best at Suppressing People

    <h4>Chapter 87a: She¡¯s Best at Suppressing People</h4>


    Seeing the servant by Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s sideing over, raising her hand, she was about to p Hongyu¡¯s face, when Luo Qing Luan, who was rushing over from behind, immediately yelled, ¡°Stop!¡±


    Even though Hongyu was Luo Cheng¡¯s concubine, and also a woman from the courtesan house, in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart, she was actually someone worth associating with. At least she¡¯s much better than that older sister of hers.


    Who could have imagined. Luo Qing Luan already spoke, but that servant girl acted as if she didn¡¯t hear and as before, raised her hand to strike out ferociously. The sharp and clear sound of a p sounded. Hongyu¡¯s delicate and fair immediately immediately disyed the shape of a palm.


    Only when that servant girl finished pping, did she turn around and curtsied before Luo Qing Luan while saying, ¡°Miss Luo, I¡¯m sorry. The Imperial Side Concubine told me to p. I have no choice but to act. This ve servant belongs to the imperial side concubine. I can only listen to Her Ladyship¡¯s words. If Miss Luo is not happy about it, please just punish this ve servant. I won¡¯t dare toin in the slightest.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she stood before her submissively, as if she was waiting for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s punishment.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked insipidly.


    This servant girl had apparently been trained with utmost care by her Elder Sister! Not only was she loyal, she was also daring. Even her status as the future Prince of Chu was useless. Moreover, she already said clearly and distinctly that she followed her mistress¡¯mand. This was the devotion required of a servant towards her mistress. No matter who it was, nobody could say that she was wrong.


    If she truly were to thus punish this servant, even if her anger could be assuaged, if Luo Qing Shuang were to spread word outside, very likely every one would feel that she, Luo Qing Luan relied on her status as the Princess of Chu to ride roughshod over people. The reputation that she worked so hard to clean would be ruined again.


    ¡°My name is Yingxiu.¡± Her voice and speech was light and easy as she continued to lower her head.


    Invigorated, Luo Qing Shuang came over, a smiling expression in the depths of her pupils as she watched Luo Qing Luan, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that Younger Sister has taken a liking to this servant of mine? Heh heh, if you like her, Elder Sister can gift her to you, no matter.¡±


    Once Luo Qing Luan heard this, she smiled indifferently, ¡°How can I dare to want Elder Sister¡¯s servant. I¡¯ll just thank you for your good intention.¡±


    She wouldn¡¯t feel at ease retaining Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s confidant by her side and harboring a spy instead.


    No longer paying attention to the mistress and servant duo, Luo Qing Luan looked at Hongyu before her and asked, ¡°Hongyu, does it hurt?¡± Her gaze fell on thetter¡¯s face. In but a short moment, that palm print already appeared very clear. It seemed that just now, Yingxiu struck ruthless enough, not holding anything back.


    No matter how much it hurt, she still wouldn¡¯t say it. Hongyu shook her head. When she originally agreed to be Luo Cheng¡¯s concubine, she already anticipated that these things would happen. But this life was a choice she made herself and couldn¡¯t be med on others. If a person wanted something, they had to fight over it themselves.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Miss Luo. In a moment, it won¡¯t hurt anymore.¡±


    Hongyu also heard the conversation just now. She had to endure this p withoutint.


    Even though her opponent was Luo Cheng¡¯s oldest daughter, she was truly, genuinely a sheltered precious youngdy, not to mention presently, she¡¯d be Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort. She didn¡¯t recognize the other person¡¯s identity, so naturally, she ought to be pped.


    However, she¡¯d just finished speaking when she heard Luo Qing Shuang open her mouth again, with an indifferent tone of voice which left no room for argument, ¡°I heard that Father took in a few concubines. It seems that you¡¯re one of them, right?¡±


    Even though her name wasn¡¯t called, it was clear that these words were directed at her. Hongyu at once and answered, ¡°Yes, Hongyu greets Madam Luo.¡±


    ¡°Hongyu? I recently heard that Heavenly Dream Tower has been very lively. Three new youngdies had arrived. You¡¯re one of them, right?¡±


    ¡°In reply to Madam Luo, yes.¡±


    Watching Hongyu bow in front of her, Luo Qing Shuang suddenly felt an intense burst of rage. She recalled that a few days before their wedding, Nangong Chen actually visited Heavenly Dream Tower. Once she thought of how the man that she was fond of actually longed for this kind of pleasure ce, moreover, maybe he had even spent thousands in gold on this Hongyu, she could not stop herself from shuddering. She wished that she could beat the woman before her to death.


    Nangong Chen was fond of her. Now, even her father was fond of her. This Hongyu was reputed to have maintained her purity, but who knew whether it was true or not? Maybe Nangong Chen already had his way with her early on. Presently, she had been taken in by her father. This kind of rtionship was simply utterly filthy!


    Clenching her teeth tightly, the hand withdrawn into her sleeve also clenched finger by finger. Luo Qing Shuang endured as best as she could, and pronounced each word slowly and coldly, ¡°Hongyu, right? Just now, I heard you y the zither. It really sounded unpleasant, simply grating to the ears. Do you know how to do anything else?¡±


    This voice was brimming with chilliness, as if the person speaking was spitting out each word through gritted teeth. Hongyu shivered all over and immediately answered, ¡°This servant also knows how to dance.¡±


    Sweeping her gaze past, Luo Qing Shuang nced at Luo Qing Luan and said, ¡°It¡¯s great that Younger Sister happens to be here. I suddenly feel interested. How about the two of us sit down and watch Hongyu¡¯s dance?¡±


    ¡°Elder Sister, this isn¡¯t too good, right?¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyebrows creased, ¡°Hongyu is serving Father. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate for us......¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s not appropriate about it!¡± Sudded, Luo Qing Shuang raised something and coldly replied, ¡°I¡¯m the stately Fifth Prince¡¯s Imperial Side Consort. My wanting to watch her dance, a minor concubine, is already an honor for her. If Younger Sister doesn¡¯t like it you can just leave. Elder Sister will just watch by herself.¡±


    Immediately, that Yingxiu called someone to bring a chair at once. Luo Qing Shuang sat down and looked at Hongyu coldly. ¡°Go ahead and start. If you dance well, you¡¯ll naturally be rewarded.¡± The implication was that if she was dissatisfied, then a punishment would be dished out.

 Chapter 87.2 - She’s the Best at Suppressing People

    <h4>Chapter 87b: She¡¯s the Best at Suppressing People</h4>


    If Luo Qing Shuang acted directly, no matter whether she wanted to beat Hongyu, or do something else, Luo Qing Luan was capable of blocking it. But now, Luo Qing Shuang had learned from experience and knew how to use her status to suppress others. Hongyu was merely a concubine. Currently, Luo Cheng also wasn¡¯t here. If she wanted to watch Hongyu dance, and used her status as Fifth Prince¡¯s imperial side consort to do it, even Luo Qing Luan also couldn¡¯t find a reason to prevent it.


    After thinking about it, Luo Qing Luan casted a meaningful nce over at Hongyu, telling her to be careful.


    With trepidation, Hongyu could only go on stage, raising her hands slowly to dance.


    In but a short time, Wang Xue Ru came, after having received heard the news. Luo Qing Shuang immediatelyughed and waved at Wang Xue Ru toe sit by her side. The mother and daughter paircently watched Hongyu dancing lightly and gracefully. Even though their faces disyed a smile and seemed to be admiring it, a chilling aura resided in the depths of their eyes.


    Once Hongyu finished dancing with difficulty and stood in the middle of the stage waiting for Luo Qing Shuang toment, thetter finallyughed coldly, ¡°You¡¯re a lead performer at Heavenly Dream Tower, yet dances only at this level?¡±


    That peculiar voice was clearly deliberately offering petty criticism, yet Hongyu could only reply, ¡°My presentation was ugly, may Madam Luo forgive me.¡±


    Turning her head around, Luo Qing Shuang asked, ¡°Mother, tell me, how was her dance?¡±


    Wang Xue Ru naturally replied disdainfully, ¡°Serving people with her looks, humph, from my perspective, how could that be called dancing. She was clearly seducing men.¡±


    Seeing that the two wanted to pick a fault, Luo Qing Luan also became cold, ¡°If Elder Sister and Father¡¯s Concubine doesn¡¯t like it, then don¡¯t have Hongyu dance anymore. Hongyu, you can leave and go wait upon Father.¡±


    ¡°Yes. Miss Luo.¡±


    Hongyu curtsied to pay her respects and was using the opportunity to depart, but Luo Qing Shuang immediately responded, ¡°Stop. Did I allow you to leave?¡±


    ¡°What does Elder Sister mean?¡± Luo Qing Luan looked at her, her face already revealed some impatience.


    Previously, Hongyu had been pped. That was because she didn¡¯t have time to block it. If right now, Hongyu was still beaten in front of her, then she would be too useless!


    ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything by it!¡±


    Luo Qing Shuang looked at Hongyu with disgust and continued, ¡°I already said earlier that if she danced well, she¡¯d naturally be rewarded, but if she danced poorly, then she should be punished!¡±


    ¡®Should be punished¡¯. After a mere three words were spoken, theplexion on Hongyu¡¯s face changed.


    ¡°This is the General¡¯s Mansion and not Immortal Dream Tower. The dance that you danced just now was flirty, materialistic, and full of tricks. Casting amorous nces everywhere, it was simply depraved and unbearable. Do you take us to be those rotten men who visited you in the past? Hongyu, what big nerves you have, to dare defile this madam¡¯s eyes. You deserve to be guilty!¡±


    Having waited for this moment to take revenge early on, Wang Xue Ru yelled at once, ¡°Dujuan, did you not hear what Her Imperial Side Consort said? Beat her!¡±


    From behind Luo Qing Shuang, a servant girl rushed forward, actually already prepared earlier. She even held a rod in her hand as thick as her arm. She ran to face Hongyu and said, ¡°Imperial Side Consort, how many times?¡±


    ¡°Humph, start with twenty times.¡± Luo Qing Shuang answered.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t. Madam Luo, please spare me!¡± Hongyu kneeled down on the spot in fright,plexion changing greatly.


    Seeing that Dujuan already raised the rod up and was going to strike, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and said angrily, ¡°Who dares to hit Hongyu?¡±


    That gloomy and cold voice, as if filled with killing intent, caused Dujuan to immediately stiffen upon hearing it. Her hand froze in midair, not daring to move.


    Luo Qing Luan nced at Luo Qing Shuan. Her expressive nce seemed as if it contained a sharp spear point as she opened her lips and said apathetically, ¡°Elder Sister is only punishing Hongyu because her dance didn¡¯t look good, right? I¡¯m asking you for a personal favor to dismiss her from punishment. How about it?¡±


    Having anticipated that Luo Qing Luan would ask for a favor early on, Luo Qing Shuang naturally wouldn¡¯t agree. ¡°Younger Sister, she¡¯s but a minor concubine who originated from the brothels. You¡¯re actually making a plea on her behalf? If you¡¯re afraid Father wouldn¡¯t be happy, if worstes to worst, have Mother arrange another minor concubine for him on another day and that¡¯ll resolve it. Since I¡¯ve already spoken, I¡¯ll need to aplish it. She danced badly. Don¡¯t tell me that she shouldn¡¯t receive her punishment?¡±


    Without the slightest anger, Luo Qing Luan, as before, appearedpletely apathetic as she replied emotionlessly, ¡°That¡¯s fine. Since Elder Sister is determined to punish Hongyu, then I can¡¯t argue with you. However, there¡¯s something I need to tell you. Today, due to your status as Fifth Prince side consort, you wanted to ask Father¡¯s concubine to dance for you, so I have nothing to say against that. But next month, if I be the Prince of Chu¡¯s principal Imperial Consort, when the timees for me to return to my maiden home on the third day,I might also be interested in having Mrs. Wang dance for me. After all, I¡¯m the Prince of Chu¡¯s principal Imperial Consort, and she¡¯s only a concubine who¡¯s unable to advance. With her status, she should listen and obey, right?¡±


    Not anticipating at all that Luo Qing Luan would actually say these kinds of things and even changed her way of address, not calling her mother ¡®Father¡¯s Concubine¡¯, but calling her ¡®Mrs. Wang¡¯ instead. She dared to have Mother dance for her to watch? Luo Qing Shuang nearly spit a mouthful of blood in rage.


    Wang Xue Ru said angrily, ¡°Qing Luan, you actually dare to say things like that? I¡¯m your father¡¯s concubine. If your father finds out, watch out how he¡¯s going to teach you a lesson!


    Casting a contemptuous nce at Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all. ¡°I¡¯ll be the Princess of Chu after marriage and will no longer be someone belonging to the General¡¯s Mansion. Even if it¡¯s Father, when he sees me, he¡¯ll have to address me with respect as the Princess of Chu, not to mention you? Since you¡¯re not my mother, and is only a lowly concubine, this princess asking you to dance is already an honor for you. What, you¡¯re still not willing?¡±


    ¡°Luo Qing Luan, you......don¡¯t you be too presumptuous. She¡¯s my mother! I¡¯m your elder sister!¡± Luo Qing Shuang was so angry that her face ashened, shaking from head to toe.


    ¡°Since Elder Sister is not giving me face today, then Younger Sister naturally also won¡¯t care about your face.¡± Luo Qing Luan suddenlyughed and continued, ¡°That¡¯s right. When the timees for me to make a visit to my maiden home, the Prince of Chu will naturally alsoe with me. Even if I don¡¯t watch Mrs. Wang dance, maybe the Prince of Chu will be interested?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m reminding you to take notice ahead of time, so as to avoid being humiliated like Hongyu today. I advise Mrs. Wang to start practicing as soon as possible, so as to avoid making the Prince of Chu unhappy at that time. Father will also lose face. If Father divorced you in a fit of pique, then that¡¯ll certainly be bad.¡±

 Chapter 88.1 - Hatred Born of Jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 88a: Hatred Born of Jealousy</h4>


    So angry that they were red in the face, they panted with opened mouths, wishing that they could charge at Luo Qing Luan and totally bite her to death. But Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang could only re without moving. ring rigidly, they didn¡¯t dare to make a move, so much so that they didn¡¯t dare to continue their spit out abuses, because they knew that what Luo Qing Luan said was true.


    The man behind her is a grand character who, besides the emperor of Chu, no one would dare to easily offend¡ª¨CNn Ye! This man who through rumors alone, made countless men envy, and numerous women admire. Not only was he brave and was already a strong warrior at a young age, providing outstanding military service, he even understood when to charge and when to withdraw, seeding in obtaining the emperor¡¯s trust.


    Even though on the surface, this man only had an honorable title as a prince, no one would, nor dared to look down on him!


    And Luo Qing Luan was the only woman who Nn Ye had treated so favorably in all these years. He had always been uninterested in women, yet actually agreed to the marriage bestowment and was willing to marry her. From the unusualness of this matter, one could well imagine how deep his regard for Luo Qing Luan was!


    Luo Qing Shuang already knew that her younger sister, her sworn enemy, was going to marry him soon, but having everything said inly to her face today, even as a pretext to threaten having her mother dance like a female performer, how could she dare to continue putting on airs and spouting empty talk?


    Her man was Fifth Prince, Nangong Chen. Even though he¡¯s a prince, and could be considered to be grand, but whether in identity or in status, he couldn¡¯t evenpare to Nn Ye¡¯s little finger! She was filled with jealousy to the bottom of her heart, as if a poisonous snake was gnawing on her heart. Luo Qing Shuang didn¡¯t dare to continue speaking, yet her gaze was brimming with bitter resentment.


    Luo Qing Luan humiliated her like this; she will definitely retaliate back! She will exhaust every method to have Fifth Prince ascend onto that highest position. After that, she¡¯ll step on Nn Ye and this loathsome girl under her foot, before having their bones ground to dust!


    Luo Qing Luan took Hongyu away, steps as light as a feather. Before leaving, she even nced at Luo Qing Shuang, as if she was still jeering at her.


    After returning to Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion, Luo Qing Shuang didn¡¯t say a word. She no longer threw tantrums like she used to in the past, and also no longer smashed things in anger.


    She only sat at the dressing table expressionlessly, staring fixedly at that miserable, colorlessplexion in the mirror. Only when Nangong Chen returned from his trip outside did he discover her strangeness.


    Her personal servant girl, Yingxiu said softly, ¡°Fifth Prince, after Her Imperial Side Consort returned from the General¡¯s Mansion, she was like this. It¡¯s already been an entire six hours.¡±


    Nangong Chen frowned and stepped forward to seize Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s shoulders and say, ¡°Qing Shuang, what happened? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    For a long time, there was no sound whatsoever. Luo Qing Shuang acted as if she was already petrified and sat silently as before. Even her eyeballs didn¡¯t move. Nangong Chen controlled his temper again and asked, ¡°Look at you. Why are you not saying anything? Is your belly unwell, or have you not rested well?¡±


    Suddenly, some very strange words faintly formed from Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s mouth. ¡°Chen, do you feel aggrieved, unreconciled?¡±


    What did she mean by this? Saying such baffling things?


    Nangong Chen had just returned from Immortal Dream Tower. He had been busy with personal matters recently and was already very tired, so he thought of visiting Immortal Dream Tower to rx a little. While he was at it, he wanted to look for Hongyu for a bit of fun. He was most interested in this kind of popr pure servant, who was beautiful while also knowing how to flirt. If he could get closer to her and be a guest who entered her bed, then that would be something worth unting.


    It¡¯s too bad, only after he visited Immortal Dream Tower did he know that Hongyu was surprisingly already ransomed by someone and got married.


    He didn¡¯t know which lecher was willing to part with such a great price to have actually seized away the person he set his mind on, leaving Nangong Chen with a belly full of gloom. Only in this way did he resentfully return home. He originally was going to find Luo Qing Shuang to have a chat with her and relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, she actually was lost in thought. Even after asking her a question for half the day, she merely sprouted such strange words. He became a bit impatient.


    Finally, considering that Luo Qing Shuang was carrying his flesh and blood, Nangong Chen stillforted her with gentle words and said, ¡°Qing Shuang, what in the world is with you today? Why is it that the minute I return home, you say these kinds of strange things?¡±


    Aggrieved? Unreconciled? Heh heh......there were too many of these kinds of matters, so many that he had lost count!


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he did not receive Imperial Father¡¯s favor, and had insufficient status, insufficient power, how would be be so miserable among his brothers? Don¡¯t mention that there was nothing decent for him to do, even when he presented a memorial to Imperial Fatherst time, asking for the chance to take over a position in managing the defense of a city, his oldest brother immediately dered that he was not suitable, that his ability couldn¡¯tpare to Sun Lie, themander in charge of five cities¡¯ defense forces, ultimately causing his cherished dream to fall through.


    It¡¯s just that Nangong Chen had never revealed anything in front of others. Even if it was Luo Qing Shuang, who was pregnant with his child, he also wouldn¡¯t say anything. This was the biggest worry on his mind that he wouldn¡¯t tell anyone!


    Lifting her gaze, her eyes shone as if absorbing someone¡¯s soul. Luo Qing Shuang said word for word, ¡°Chen, have you never thought about that most respected position, that supreme imperial power? If you can be the crown prince......¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± Hearing this, huge changes overcame hisplexion. His soul nearly flying away, Nangong Chen¡¯s hand tenaciously covered Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s mouth, not allowing her to emit the slightest bit of sound. After that, his gaze became murderous as he stared at Yingxiu and coldly said, ¡°Get lost! If you dare to reveal a single word of this, I will skin you alive!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Fifth Prince!¡± Yingxiu was scared ashened-faced and quickly withdrew.


    Seeing that there was no one inside, Nangong Chen finally let go of his hand and said angrily, ¡°You don¡¯t want to live anymore, right? You actually said those things? You even want me to die, right?¡±

 Chapter 88.2 - Hatred Born of Jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 88b: Hatred Born of Jealousy</h4>


    With a cold sneer, Luo Qing Shuang replied, ¡°What, don¡¯t tell me that you truly have never thought about it? You¡¯re a respectable Fifth Prince, but His Majesty simply doesn¡¯t like you. Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re actually perfectly happy to live under people all of your life, looking on helplessly as your oldest brother inherits the throne, to finally sink into the life of an idle prince, sullen for a lifetime until death?¡±


    Nangong Chen was filled with astonishment as he looked at the woman before him. He didn¡¯t expect that the Luo Qing Shuang who formerly only knew of riches and glory, pleasure and acting spoiled, jealous in love, actually became so unfamiliar. Did she know what she was saying? If these words were to spread, he¡¯s afraid the entire Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion would be turned upside down.


    Grabbing her wrists with an iron grip, Nangong Chen¡¯splexion became increasingly unsightly, saying between gritted teeth, ¡°These are matters for men to deal with. You women should care less about them. You only need to properly nurture your fetus and give birth to the child properly, that¡¯s enough. You don¡¯t need to bother with anything else and are also forbidden from taking part in them. Do you hear!¡±


    ¡°Child? Do I still have mood to care about a child?¡± Luo Qing Shuang was aggrieved and inconsble, tears already flowing down. ¡°You don¡¯t know how I was humiliated today? And how my mother was also humiliated? This is the first time I¡¯ve felt so vexed in my life, so vexed that I wanted to die, did you know that?¡±


    Almost screaming through her sobs, her voice hissed and cracked. ¡°Luo Qing Luan, that loathsome girl. Relying on the fact that she¡¯s marrying Nn Ye, she actually chastised my mother for being a concubine who failed to have a son and even wanted my mother to dance for her. She¡¯s taking my mother to be a lowly performer. Even more so, she was humiliating me!¡±


    ¡°Chen, I¡¯m indeed your Imperial Side Consort. You¡¯re a stately Fifth Prince. Why is it that Luo Qing Luan dared to humiliate me? Wasn¡¯t it because she relied on the Prince of Chu¡¯s power! That Nn Ye basically is not someone from the royal family, yet struts about even grander than a prince. Why is that, what does he count as!¡±


    Forcibly shaking Nangong Chen¡¯s hand, Luo Qing Shuang wept as she vented, not caring about anything else. ¡°Chen, if you¡¯re a man, you should take back everything that belongs to you! You¡¯re a prince, you¡¯re His Majesty¡¯s son. How can an outsider like Nn Ye step on you under his foot? As long as you¡¯re willing, I can do anything for you. I¡¯m willing to pay any price. As long as you can ascend to that position! I don¡¯t want to be looked down upon. I don¡¯t want to be humiliated again!¡±


    After letting everything out in a breath, Luo Qing Shuang seemed as if she¡¯d lost all of her strength, nearly falling to the ground paralyzed.


    Nangong Chen listened with fury rocketing, depression and boredom suddenly changed into a raging fury. He quickly supported Luo Qing Shuang, expression already as dark as the bottom of a pan.


    Nn Ye! It¡¯s Nn Ye again!


    If it wasn¡¯t for him,st time, when facing Imperial Father, how would the matter of him marrying a principal consort forcibly be turned into taking in a concubine? Nn Ye was pping his face, looking down upon him. Otherwise, how could he have taken him lightly like that!


    ¡°Qing Shuang, did you return to the General¡¯s Mansion today?¡± Nangong Chen asked apathetically and had Luo Qing Shuang tell him everything that happened today.


    ¡°Chen, I¡¯m truly not reconciled......why is it that Luo Qing Luan can rely on Nn Ye¡¯s power, yet I have to be humiliated by her like that?¡± Luo Qing Shuang wrapped her arms around Nangong Chen¡¯s waist and wept like raindrops falling upon a beautiful flower, lovely and pitiful. ¡°If you¡¯re a crown prince, how good would that be. How would she dare to bully me like that, and even bullied my mother?¡±


    As if something had bloomed in his heart, a root which had already started germinating slowly matured. Now that he¡¯d heard Luo Qing Shuangment like that, Nangong Chen increasingly felt that he could not continue to endure it. In the past, he had continually been preparing. Even though he felt that his preparations were already meticulous enough, he still didn¡¯t take action, afraid that he¡¯d be discovered.


    Yet now, he had no choice but to make a move now. If he continued to remain inactive, his everything will vanish like smoke, thoroughly disappear until nothing¡¯s left.


    Now that Nangong Qing was away. If he waited until his brother returned from the border in triumph, how wouldn¡¯t his brother earn great merit in Imperial Father¡¯s presence?


    As the oldest son of the emperor, this older brother of his was naturally not someone he could pit himself lightly against. However, taking advantage of the time Nangong Qing was absent, he could do some other things. If he could earn some favors, then that would establish a foundation for the future.


    Thinking to this point, Nangong Chen calcted things over and over again, then finally said, ¡°Qing Shuang, don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re my woman. I naturally won¡¯t treat you unfairly. If you want to help me, then there¡¯s something for you to do at the moment. I need to carry it out immediately.¡±


    ¡°What is it, Cheng, tell me. I¡¯ll definitely do it well.¡± Luo Qing Shuang was overjoyed at the turn of events. She didn¡¯t expect that Nangong Chen not only didn¡¯t scold her, he instead really wanted to strive to move ahead. If it¡¯s truly like that, then that¡¯s indeed something she would be willing to give her all towards.


    Nangong Chen replied, ¡°A few days ago, I heard that Imperial Mother has conceived.¡±


    Luo Qing Shuang was startled. ¡°What? Imperial Mother is actually pregnant? Hasn¡¯t the imperial physician already determined that she can¡¯t give birth anymore?¡±


    Nangong Chen answered, ¡°I also know that. In any case, Imperial Mother has already conceived. Therefore, what you need to do now is to go into the pce and spend time with Imperial Mother. On the basis that you¡¯re also pregnant, you can have a few more talks with Imperial Mother. Your pregnancy is earlier than Imperial Mother¡¯s so naturally you already have some experiences which you can tell her about. But what¡¯s most important is that, you need to do your best to make Imperial Mother like you, understand?¡±


    Such a simple matter. How could Luo Qing Shuang not understand? If Fifth Prince can first leave a good impression upon Her Highness the empress, whatever they need to aplish in the future will be a bit easier. Moreover, it¡¯s just spending a few days chatting with Her Highness, basically not strenuous at all. This was really too easy.


    Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Shuan rubbed her belly andughed, ¡°Chen, I got it. I¡¯ll go to the imperial pce to pay a visit to Imperial Mother.¡±

 Chapter 89.1 - Nangong Chen Turned Up Uninvited

    <h4>Chapter 89a: Nangong Chen Turned Up Uninvited</h4>


    No matter whether it¡¯s the imperial inner pce or the imperial court during this period of time, what numerous imperial concubines and perhaps court officials were constantly talking about was the matter of Empress Wang¡¯s pregnancy.


    At present, Empress Wang had already found out that she¡¯s pregnancy for some ten plus days. Ever since she visited the General¡¯s Mansion and returnedst time, she¡¯d started to pay close attention. After one month, she really did conceive a dragon descendant smoothly. Even while ecstatic, she very much tried to conceal it while, but in the end, her eyebrows still exposed a joyful expression which was detected by the emperor.


    This was the kind of happy asion which even an emperor would be happy about. He immediately sent for imperial physicians to examine Empress Wang again. Sure enough, she was already with child for over one month.


    Empress Wang kept in mind Luo Qing Luan¡¯s warning and absolutely did not say that her health was poor and was only conceived after receiving treatment from a medical expert. She only said that the heavens had blessed her with joy and bestowed a dragon child upon her. She pushed everything to the will of heaven.


    The emperor was extremely joyous and naturally wouldn¡¯t investigate this matter, but Empress Wang knew in her heart what happened. In regards to Qing Luan and that master, she naturally was even more intensely grateful in her heart and told herself that in the future, if there¡¯s a chance, she would repay them.


    As for Fifth Prince¡¯s side consort, Luo Qing Shuanging to pay respects previously, Empress Wang didn¡¯t mind. It¡¯s only because Luo Qing Shuang was also carrying a child that there unavoidably was somemon subject to talk about. Adding to that Luo Qing Shuang painstakingly ingratiating herself, each and every word that she spoke aimed at Empress Wang¡¯s heart, therefore, she retained Luo Qing Shuang and straightforwardly had her stay in the pce, so that they could chat at any time.


    Even though Empress Wang was careful, but as long as anything rted to Luo Qing Luan was mentioned, a smile would spread across her face. Empress Wang subconsciously praised Luo Qing Luan again and again. The speaker spoke casually, but the listener paid careful attention. Luo Qing Shuang hated Luo Qing Luan to begin with. In this way, she hated her even deeper to the bone.


    Before three days had passed, Luo Qing Shuang sent someone to report these details back to Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. Nangong Chen also became even more interested in Luo Qing Luan. In the past, he was already surprised by Luo Qing Luan¡¯s celestial like appearance being revealed. Nangong Chen, who regretted the decision he made to cancel the engagement, regretted it again. Even though he liked Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s obedient and sweet and charming nature, how could it not be better if he obtained an additional pure, untainted by a speck of dust, Luo Qing Luan? In regards to two sisters sharing the same husband, this kind of matter, Nangong Chen revered it as a story that captured the imagination.


    Harboring a specific objective, Nangong Chen arrived at the General¡¯s Mansion in casual dress. He only brought one attendant. He even prevented the gatekeeper from announcing his arrival.


    He especially chose a time when Luo Cheng wasn¡¯t at home, so as to avoid being questioned about his other matters, such as the question of why he wanted to see Luo Qing Luan. Nangong Chen stealthily came to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s little courtyard


    Melodious zither music was floating upwards. It turned out that this was the time that Luo felt like she wanted to y a song today. The silvery sounds appeared lively and sweet-sounding, simr to the babble of creek water flowing, and also seemed like heavenly music aflutter. Listening, Nangong Chen became infatuated, staring fixedly at that absolutely gorgeous woman wearing a white dress in the distance. He watched with his soul gone.


    Dai Yue listened with a stupidly nk expression like she always did, standing therepletely frozen.


    Once the song ended, Luo Qing Luan moved her fingers and nodded her head in satisfaction. She stood up.


    ¡°Dai Yue. Put the zither away properly.¡± It¡¯s good enough to y for a short while. She was merely prompted by a sudden impulse once in a while to pass the time, that¡¯s all. Even though she didn¡¯t like ying the zither too much, since she had the ability, furthermore the tone wasn¡¯t bad, she felt she might as well continue to preserve her skills, so as to avoid losing her touch.


    Thinking about it, in the past, she even knew brush calligraphy, the game of go, chinese chess, art appraisal and so forth. These were basically everything that Ghost Doctor was good at. He naturally also taught everything to her, lock, stock and barrel. If she had time in the future, there¡¯s no harm in her practicing them again. At the moment, she¡¯s a bit hungry. She¡¯s thinking of going out to eat something.


    Dai Yue stared nkly before regaining her senses, but appeared somewhat reluctant to stop. When she picked up the zither, she even fiddled with the strings a little bit, appearing to be very curious. ¡°My Lady, your ying is really pleasant to listen to, much better than the way that Miss Yuchi ys.¡± These words were not meant to tter, she felt that her mistress was good at everything.


    Luo Qing Luan smiled slightly. ¡°Dai Yue, if you like to y the zither, I¡¯ll teach you next time, alright?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Dai Yue was happy to hear this, but in a moment, became sad again. ¡°My Lady, let¡¯s forget it. Why would a servant know how to y the zither and stuff? These are all things youngdies do. I¡¯m just a servant.¡±


    ¡°What servant or whatever. You¡¯re one of my people. If I say it¡¯s possible, then it¡¯s possible.¡± Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t think in terms of a servant¡¯s low ss. As long as Dai Yue wanted to, even if it¡¯s teaching her y the zither, paint, or simple medical knowledge, everything¡¯s possible.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m truly grateful to My Lady......¡±


    Dai Yue had not finished s. peaking when the words of praise sounded from a not so distant ce, ¡°Sure enough, Younger Sister Qing Luan is kindhearted. You¡¯re so good towards your servant. This Prince admires that very much.¡±


    Once she heard this unharmonious voice, so familiar to her, without turning her head, Luo Qing Luan already guessed who it was.


    ¡°Elder Sister is not here. Has Fifth Prince taken a wrong turn?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked unenthusiastically, frowning slightly. She had never had a favorable impression of Nangong Chen. Even if he was the Fifth Prince of Western Chu, she only felt that this person was nauseating and vulgar, unbearablyscivious. It¡¯s no wonder that the current emperor didn¡¯t like him. It wasn¡¯t without cause. Recalling the scene after the new year of him and Luo Qing Shuang being together, she was simply nauseated enough to throw up.


    Even though this man before him was rather handsome and was even wearing a smile, a polite and amiable appearance, she still only felt disgust.

 Chapter 89.2 - Nangong Chen Turned Up Uninvited

    <h4>Chapter 89b: Nangong Chen Turned Up Uninvited</h4>


    Coming even closer, Nangong Chen became even more moved by Luo Qing Luan¡¯s lucid and elegant, stunning appearance. Once he thought of the possibility sometime in the future of embracing a pair of beauties at his chest, that kind of pleasure simply excited him endlessly. He was even somewhat impatient to speak.


    ¡°Today, This Prince especially came to find Younger Sister Qing Luan. How could I have taken a wrong turn?¡±


    Nangong Chen smiled elegantly and gracefully, even taking out a folding fan that he prepared ahead of time and flipped it open before lightly fanning himself with it. ¡°Just now, I heard Sister Qing Luan¡¯s heavenly music, really like a celestial was ying, truly hard toe by. It¡¯s no wonder Her Highness the Empress praises you so much.¡±


    Such disgustingpliments. Just listening made Luo Qing Luan nauseated again. Herplexion darkened as she was going to leave. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but there¡¯s something I need to do, not free to greet you. Fifth Prince, please don¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡±


    ¡°Sigh~~¡± Nangong Cheng¡¯s figure moved and blocked in front of her, smiling. ¡°What¡¯s the rush, Sister Qing Luan, actually, I looked for you to talk about an important matter. Can¡¯t you stay to hear me say what I need to say?¡±


    ¡°Fifth Prince and I seems to have nothing to talk about, right?¡± Speaking to this point, Luo Qing Luan suddenly said, ¡°Can it be that Fifth Prince knows that I¡¯m getting married soon, so you prepared to send me congrattory gifts ahead of time? That¡¯s good. I wonder what Fifth Prince has prepared to send, and how much?¡±


    Her time was so very valuable. Since Nangong Chen won¡¯t let go, and it¡¯s also not possible for her to having someone beat him away, then there¡¯s no harm in using this point to stop him then. If he¡¯s got no other business, then he could scram, otherwise, he could obediently spit out some money.


    Even though he was a bit surprised that Luo Qing Luan would say that, not only did Nangong Chen not mind, his eyes shone instead.


    He was only afraid that he didn¡¯t know how to move Luo Qing Luan. As long as she had any requests, he would surely satisfy her, to say nothing of a bit of money? What he did notck the most was this.


    Nangong Chen agreed without the slightest hesitation. ¡°Sister Qing Luan is getting Since This Prince is your brother inw, I naturally will prepare a very big congrattory gift.¡± Speaking to this point, he couldn¡¯t help butugh and took two steps forward with hand extended, unexpectedly lifting up Luo Qing Luan¡¯s chin. ¡°I just don¡¯t know what kind of gift Sister Qing Luan would like?¡±


    Fortunately, Luo Qing Luan was on guard to some extent and immediately stepped back to avoid him. Herplexion darkened as she replied angrily. ¡°Fifth Prince, please have a bit of self respect. Don¡¯t think that as my brother inw, you can get fresh with me. Please pay attention to your dignity. Men and women should maintain physical distance!¡±


    He didn¡¯t even get a chance to touch her before she avoided him. Nangong Chen felt very regretful, but the more he couldn¡¯t get her, the more he was tempted.


    Watching Luo Qing Luan¡¯s angry yet pleasing appearance, almost opposite to the extremely fawning, obedient Luo Qing Shuang, he felt his heart itch unbearably. Nangong Chen wasn¡¯t angry in the slightest and continued to smile like before, ¡°Heh heh, I merely treat Sister Qing Luan as family, that¡¯s all. Since you mind, then I¡¯ll just stand farther away. This is better now, right?¡±


    ¡°Since there¡¯s nothing else, then I¡¯ll get going.¡± Eyes chilly, Luo Qing Luan was no longer in the mood to waste time with him.


    ¡°There is something. Sister Qing Luan, don¡¯t be in such a rush.¡± Again blocking Luo Qing Luan from the front, Nangong Chen finally put on a serious face. ¡°However, this matter is not ordinary at all. I¡¯d like to trouble Younger Sister toe with me alone to a suitable ce for us to properly talk about it? Oh right, when I return to my mansionter, I¡¯ll make sure to have your congrattory gift sent over. Does Sister Qing Luan feel that precious stones jewelry is good, or do you like antique calligraphy and painting? Or how about jade bracelets or rubies, pearls, these kinds of things are also possible, as long as you like them.¡±


    She knew that if she didn¡¯t make herself clear today, Nangong Chen most likely wouldn¡¯t give up. Luo Qing Luan was also not afraid that he could do something. He wasn¡¯t an expert like Nn Ye. Forget about getting fresh with her, with a bit of her ck out powder alone, Nangong Chen should be easily taken care of by her.


    ¡°Then fine. Since Fifth Prince is being considerate, let¡¯s have a chat.¡± After she finished speaking, Luo Qing Luan turned her head around tomand, ¡°Dai Yue, go bring paper and brush. Write down all of the congrattory gifts Fifth Prince is sending over, so as to avoid errors and negligenceter on.¡±


    Dai Yue, who was watching by the side with endless hate, was unable to say anything and was already unable to hold back. She answered immediately, bringing paper and brush with lightning speed. ¡°Fifth Prince, please.¡±


    He really to write down everything as proof?


    Nangong Chen didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°Sister Qing Luan, I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m sending you gifts so I¡¯ll surely send them. There¡¯s no need to so seriously list everything in ck and white, right?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan smiled unenthusiastically, ¡°A kind of matter like congrattory gifts, and even something from Fifth Prince, how can it not be considered a serious matter? If Fifth Prince said that you¡¯re sending something, but in the end a servant stole or hid a couple of items, or maybe make an error, wouldn¡¯t I suffer losses? Therefore, it¡¯s still better to write them down, what does the fifth prince think?¡±


    Knowing that Luo Qing Luan wanted to extort him, it¡¯s not like Nangong Chen wasn¡¯t willing. In order to catch a fox, one can¡¯t be afraid of running, nor be afraid of buying shoes (TN:Be willing to pay the price to get what you want.) Hecked many things, but what hecked the least was money. To be able to use money to exchange for Luo Qing Luan and her heart, everything was worth it.


    Very quickly, Luo Qing Luan listed a big long list of things, all kinds of precious pearls and stones, antiques, paintings, including the most vulgar gold and silver. She didn¡¯t care.


    Nangong Chen wrote these down to the point his hand started to tremble. They added up to nearly five hundred thousand taels of silver, before Luo Qing Luan let the matter drop.


    Putting away the paper that Nangong Chen personally wrote and signed, Luo Qing Luan was finally satisfied. An additional smiling expression appeared on her face. ¡°Thank you, Fifth Prince. You truly deserve to be rich and imposing. In the future, if I run out of money, I can¡¯t do without looking for your assistance.¡±


    Nangong Chen¡¯s heart pained endlessly, but still didn¡¯t reveal it in his expression. It was only with great difficulty that he entered the pavilion in the back yard with Luo Qing Luan. There was not a soul in sight in their surroundings. Nangong Chen looked in every direction and finally rxed.


    ¡°Tell me, Fifth Prince, what in the world did you want to say to me bying to the General¡¯s Mansion today?¡± Luo Qing Luan sat down slowly, then asked him.


    ¡°This Prince has one question to ask you.¡± Nangong Chen¡¯s expression changed, releasing all of his grandeur without concealing it at all, as he said word by word, ¡°If one day I be the crown prince and sat on the throne, I wonder if Sister Qing Luan is willing to be my empress?¡±

 Chapter 90.1 - Conceited Nonsense

    Chapter 90a: Conceited Nonsense


    Sit on the throne? Empress?


    She didn¡¯t expect that Nangong Chen, who always appeared to be a spoiled prince, actually said such a wildly ambitious thing to her. Moreover, not avoiding the topic at all. Luo Qing Luan immediately raised her guard. Without getting angry at the way he made a pass at her within these words, Luo Qing Luan instead intensely felt a crisising from Nangong Chen¡¯s intention.


    Pretending that she didn¡¯t understand, Luo Qing Luan frowned and said, ¡°Fifth Prince, have you lost your mind? The crown prince is the oldest prince, how can you say these things? Moreover, His Majesty is healthy and strong and is at the prime of his life. You want to sit on the throne? Heh heh......forgive this very inconsequential girl for not understanding these things.¡±


    The corners of Nangong Chen¡¯s mouth curved up as heughed. ¡°Sister Qing Luan is exceptionally intelligent. How can you not understand? But since you said that, I also understand that you don¡¯t dare to believe me. Therefore, today, This Prince especially looked for you to properly tell you.¡±


    ¡°Are you serious?¡± Seeing that he¡¯s unwilling to give up, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°Fifth Prince, please don¡¯t tease me anymore. Men may want to struggle for power and profit, but that has nothing to do with unrted women like me, who don¡¯t know anything. You had better look for someone else.¡±


    ¡°Apparently, if I don¡¯t exin everything clearly today, you seriously won¡¯t speak to me.¡±


    Nangong Chen exposed a calm and unhurried expression, continuing confidently, ¡°Just based on how you¡¯ve recently obtained so much of my Imperial Mother¡¯s favor, Qing Luan, merely based on this point alone, I¡¯m treating you like a precious asset. In the past, I¡¯ve always misunderstood you, that was because I was as blind as a bat. I ask for your forgiveness. If it wasn¡¯t for a misunderstanding, you would¡¯ve be my Fifth Prince¡¯s consort by now. How can we still be so unfamiliar with each other right now?¡±


    In regards to Luo Qing Luan, he truly had too many regrets!


    In the past, he thought that she was utterly vulgar, love-struck and stupid. He didn¡¯t expect that everything was just her concealing herself. Her purpose was naturally to avoid Qing Shuang and her mother¡¯s schemes. In regards to these things, Nangong Chen was nomittal. In order to strive for favor between women, a bit of acting was of no great consequence. These little tricks didn¡¯t count for much.


    But since he knew that Luo Qing Luan was exceptionally intelligent, in merely a short time, her sharpness had been revealed as she obtained his Imperial Mother¡¯s favor. This kind of gorgeous appearance and intelligent woman, whose origins and family background wasn¡¯t bad, was truly the best candidate to help him achieve his aspirations.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Fifth Prince forgetting something?¡± Luo Qing Luan forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart and said out loud, ¡°There are ten plus days before I¡¯m marrying the Prince of Chu, Nn Ye. You¡¯re saying these things to me right now, aren¡¯t you afraid he¡¯ll find out?¡±


    Not caring about getting dirty, Nangong Chen not only didn¡¯t worry, he even took a step forward instead, chuckling ¡®heh heh¡¯ he answered, ¡°You naturally won¡¯t say anything. I¡¯m confident of that.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shined coldly and said chillingly, ¡°Why won¡¯t I say anything?¡±


    She really didn¡¯t know where Nangong Chen got his confidence. Today, he shockingly said these kinds of things to her like he was losing his mind. There had to be a problem.


    ¡°Since I dare to say these things, I naturally did not make these ims groundlessly. Although Sister Qing Luan will soon marry Nn Ye, you still haven¡¯t wed, after all! As far as you¡¯re concerned, he is still an outsider. This Prince is willing to give you an even better future. You can think it over carefully.¡±


    Nangong Chen fanned his folding fan gently, dering confidently and proudly, ¡°Since This Prince need you, there is no harm in my revealing to you some background. Don¡¯t look at how I¡¯m not favored by His Majesty right now. That¡¯s merely because I haven¡¯t put my mind to it, that¡¯s all. During these twenty years, I have already schemed to no small extent. Regardless of whether it¡¯s in the capital or in the imperial court, there are no small numbers of my people there. Moreover, Sister Qing Luan shouldn¡¯t forget who my imperial consort mother is? And how my maternal family earns their living.¡±


    How could Luo Qing Luan not know the answer to this series of immensely prideful statements, full of arrogance on disy and self-confidence? His mother was Noble Consort Song, the only other woman His Majesty doted on besides Empress Wang. It¡¯s just that it was unknown why the son His Majesty favored more was Noble Consort Song¡¯s other son, Nangong Ting. He seemed to pay very little attention to Nangong Chen. Because of this, the situation where he was not favored came about.


    Noble Consort Song¡¯s maiden family members were imperial merchants, in charge of casting official currency. Even if they stuffed their pockets, His Majesty turned a blind eye to it. However, Luo Qing Luan absolutely didn¡¯t believe that this was enough to show that Nangong Cheng could rece Nangong Qing¡¯s position as crown prince.


    Not saying a word, basically disinclined to say anything, Luo Qing Luan looked at Nangong Chen indifferently, to the point that her face disyed a bit of a sneer.


    Nangong Chen¡¯splexion changed slightly. He¡¯d said so much, yet didn¡¯t expect that Luo Qing Luan surprisingly seemed as if she didn¡¯t hear him. She didn¡¯t ask for more information, nor did she question what he had said. This instead made him most unable to ept it. After thinking a bit, he asked again, ¡°Qing Luan, This Prince already dug my heart out for you. As long as you¡¯re willing to help me, once I be the emperor, I¡¯ll definitely confer the position of empress on you, so that you can wallow in glory, splendor, wealth, and rank. Are you willing?¡±


    ¡°Why should I be willing?¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face deadpanned, as if she¡¯s going to lose patience soon.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t want to be an empress?¡± Nangong Chen said anxiously, ¡°This Prince has really been sincere towards you. Qing Luan, how can you be so cold and detached? I know, in the past, there¡¯s been some misunderstandings between us, but I guarantee that that will no longer be the case in the future. This Prince is giving you my heart and soul. As long as you agree, I can even divorce Luo Qing Shuang......¡±


    Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan coldly interrupted him, ¡°Such a cold and ruthless man. If Elder Sister knows that you treat her like this, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll throttle you to death at night one day!¡±


    ¡°You......¡± Hearing this, Nangong Chen¡¯s underwent huge changes, recoiling a few steps in disbelief.


    He didn¡¯t expect that everything he said had been so sincere, yet Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart wasn¡¯t moved in the slightest!

 Chapter 90.2 - Conceited Nonsense

    <h4>Chapter 90b: Conceited Nonsense</h4>


    How could there be a woman like her? Was it possible that she didn¡¯t want to be an empress? This was in fact an honored position only below one person and above tens of thousands. She actually wasn¡¯t moved? He had already alluded of every strategy behind the scenes which he¡¯d already spent years to arrange. As long as the timing was right, he would suddenly rocket into ce, getting rid of Nangong Qing in one go. As for Nn Ye, he was merely an idle titled prince, that¡¯s all. At that time, without Imperial Father¡¯s trust, what would he count as?


    Disinclined to continue being long-winded with Nangong Chen, Luo Qing Luan left the pavilion as she turned her head around and coldly said, ¡°Fifth Prince. I will pretend that I didn¡¯t hear any of the crazy words that you¡¯ve said today. I hope that this kind of thing won¡¯t happen again next time. I only have one sentence I¡¯ll give to you as a present. An intention higher than the heavens, a life more fragile than paper! Your words may be able to deceive ignorant women and children, but you¡¯re simply dreaming if you want me to believe them. Furthermore, if you spout nonsense again next time, I¡¯ll directly tell Nn Ye. As for whether he¡¯ll tell His Majesty, I don¡¯t know.¡±


    After she finished speaking, Luo Qing Luan turned around and left.


    She had not walked many steps when behind her, Nangong Chen bellowed, ¡°Stop!¡±


    Her figure moved slightly, her skirt fluttering around her, but Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t turn around. ¡°What, Fifth Prince still won¡¯t give up?¡±


    Nangong Chen was so angry that he shook all over, gnashing his teeth, he said, ¡°Luo Qing Luan, if you dare to tell on me, aren¡¯t you afraid that something will happen to me, while your entire Luo family will be executed and property confiscated? After all, I¡¯ve married your sister. All of you are also my rtives and I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to be involved.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to be married soon. In the future, I¡¯ll no longer be someone belonging to the General¡¯s Mansion. Fifth Prince, no matter what you do, they won¡¯t implicate me anymore. I suggest that you¡¯d better not use these kinds of words to threaten me.¡±


    Having thrown out these words in a carefree manner, Luo Qing Luan left quickly, leaving behind a flustered and exasperated, unsightlyplexioned Nangong Chen.


    Clenching his fists tightly, only after a long time did Nangong Chen¡¯s tension lessened.


    Originally ashened face gradually regaining its color, with a ¡®pow¡¯ sound, Nangong Chen got rid of his folding fan and slowly stood up unsteadily.


    What a ¡®not easily fooled¡¯ Luo Qing Luan, not only was she bold and clever, she was so unusually beautiful, truly deserved it for him to obtain by every means possible!


    The more she was difficult for him to obtain, the more he was interested to get her. Only in this way would hispetitiveness be fully aroused. If he couldn¡¯t even win over a girl, how could he continue to speak of taking the throne and the world? Thinking about those things Luo Qing Luan said before leaving, Nangong Chen¡¯s expression became gloomy.


    Even if she married Nn Ye, so what? A woman he took a fancy to was someone he¡¯s going to get his hands on no matter the method. When the timees, ying with Nn Ye¡¯s woman will actually also have a special taste to it! He absolutely wouldn¡¯t give up!


    Leaving the pavilion, Luo Qing Luan naturally would no longer care about Nangong Chen. Whether he stayed or left had nothing to do with her.


    Already hungry since earlier, but was continually harassed and annoyed by him for half the day, she was finally able to throw off Nangong Chen now. Moreover, she was also able to obtain his signature for five hundred thousand taels worth of gifts. Her time wasn¡¯t wasted for nothing!


    Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan was cheerful again to arge degree and was just about to call Dai Yue to go out together with her for some street food, when a servant came to inform her, ¡°Second Lady, His Lordship the Prince of Chu sent someone here......¡±


    ¡°Nn Ye? What does he want?¡± Luo Qing Luan was a bit puzzled. A servant dressed in ck respectfully came over and said, ¡°Miss Luo, our Prince of Chu has an important matter requiring you to make a visit there.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyebrows creased as she asked, ¡°What is the matter?¡±


    The servant nked out, then answered, ¡°He didn¡¯t say. When Miss Luo makes the visit, you¡¯ll find out.¡±


    This was actually a bit strange. If Nn Ye had something he needed to see me about, why didn¡¯t he personallye? Even saying that there¡¯s some emergency, it¡¯s very likely it¡¯s some senseless matter again, right? However, since she had nothing to do right now, there¡¯s no harm in her going. In any case, the cook at the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion was also pretty good.


    Entering the horse carriage stopped at the door, before long, they arrived at the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion.


    Once Luo Qing Luan entered the door she became increasingly aware that something¡¯s different. Each and every servant and maids at the Prince of Chu¡¯s mansion was extremely deferential upon seeing her and paid their respects to her as if they saw Nn Ye. Even though they didn¡¯t call her Her Highness the Princess of Chu outright, each of their gazes leaked this kind of feeling. She was already their future mistress.


    More or less, she felt some uneasiness and also some bashfulness. Luo Qing Luan suppressed this kind of feeling and very quickly saw Nn Ye.


    What made her surprised was that Nn Ye was actually directly sitting in the middle of the lounge, as if he was especially waiting for her. Dressedpletely in ck, his gownplemented his tall and straight figure, with an unusual kind of calmness in the midst of chaos while his eyebrows creased slightly, as if he met with some kind of difficult matter. Even when he saw hering, he didn¡¯t say any teasing words, only speaking one indifferent sentence. ¡°You¡¯vee?¡±


    ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s indeed something.¡± Nn Ye sent everyone away before he opened his mouth. ¡°Qing Luan, I want you to help me with something.¡±


    He¡¯s actually asking for her help? That¡¯s too rare, right?


    Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t believe it as she watched Nn Ye and said smilingly, ¡°Come on! Nn Ye, you called me over from such a distance really because you¡¯re looking for my help? Something which a stately prince can¡¯t do and you¡¯re surprisingly asking me?¡±


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t beat around the bush and directly resplied, ¡°I know that your medical expertise is not bad, and expert at prescribing, that¡¯s why I thought of having you help me treat someone.¡±


    Only now did she feel that he shouldn¡¯t be making a joke and couldn¡¯t help but be curious. ¡°What in the world happened?¡±

 Chapter 91.1 - Her Ability

    <h4>Chapter 91a: Her Ability</h4>


    <h4></h4>


    Passing through a winding corridor, then bypassing a rock garden, under Nn Ye¡¯s guidance, Luo Qing Luan saw the person who she needed to provide critical care to.


    Reclining upon the bed, this man was dressed in all ck. His figure was sturdy, but it¡¯s just that he had been injured all over his body. A faint bloody smell permeated. His eyes were tightly closed, already in aa. Moreover, hisplexion was already grayish ck, as if he was already a dead man. If Luo Qing Luan had not been able to sense a very difficult to feel faint pulse from him, she really would¡¯ve taken him to be a dead man.


    ¡°This is one of my trusted subordinates responsible for gathering intelligence. Yesterday evening, he was barely able to support himself and escaped back here before passing out. I also already found someone to provide medical treatment. Even though his physical injuries were not detrimental, his internal injuries involved being poisoned, causing him to be unable to wake up.¡± Nn ye stood behind Luo Qing Luan and said in a deep voice. ¡°I thought about how your abilities are not bad. Perhaps you have a way to allow him to regain consciousness. That¡¯s why I had someone bring you here to try.¡±


    Standing by the side of the bed, there were two more people taking care of theirpanion, also dressed in ck. With a look, it was clear that they¡¯re also Nn Ye¡¯s subordinates. The two of them were quite concerned and also simultaneously said, ¡°Miss Luo, please save Yuan Shan!¡±


    Without replying, Luo Qing Luan already withdrew the hand she used to feel his pulse. In but a short time after she examined him, she already knew what the problem was.


    The poison this person was afflicted with was indeed a bit special. No wonder even Nn Ye couldn¡¯t do anything about it. His wounds were quite numerous. It was evident that he had previously escaped only after a difficult battle. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s unknown why the other person was actually able to use this kind of poison on him. This absolutely was not an ordinary person.


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s pensive appearance, Nn Ye asked, ¡°How is it, Qing Luan, is there a way?¡±


    Muttering to herself for a moment, Luo Qing Luan smiled, ¡°There is a way, however......¡±


    His mind rxed, Nn Ye said, ¡°As long as you can cure him, I¡¯ll agree to any condition.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan stood up, and leisurely walked to the red sandal wood chair carved with rose flowers and sat down. She looked at Nn Ye in a rxed manner. ¡°It¡¯s possible for me to help, but you need to give me a reward, a treatment fee.¡±


    Smiling faintly, Nn Ye knew that thisss liked money, otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t keep writing those little novels like that. He asked, ¡°How much do you want, just say it.¡±


    ¡°How much will you pay?¡± Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t reply and asked instead. A crafty light shed in her eyes. It¡¯s not that she wanted to use another person¡¯s life to get rich. Even though this person¡¯s poisonous wound caused Nn Ye to be helpless, it wasn¡¯t a difficult thing for her. Though this person was poisoned, he could still hold on for another 72 hours. There¡¯s plenty of time for her and Nn Ye to agree on conditions.


    However, since it¡¯s the first time Nn Ye went to her for help, if she didn¡¯t properly grasp the opportunity to rip him off, then it would be a pity. As a grand prince, she wondered how much money he had. If she didn¡¯t take the opportunity to pry into it, what if after she married in the future, he secretly stashed away some money, that wouldn¡¯t be good.


    Luo Qing Luan set her heart on a n. She had not officially be the Princess of Chu, but she already took everything belonging to Nn Ye to be things to be ced in her own pockets. It¡¯s also during the recent period of time that she figured things out. Nn Ye could be considered to treat her in a special way. Even though she didn¡¯t like him, she also didn¡¯t hate him. Since there¡¯s no other choice, then marrying him was passable. Therefore, she wanted to do her best to fish up a bit of benefits. Otherwise, she would really lose out big time.


    Hearing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s answer, Nn Ye paused before he answered, ¡°No matter how much you asked, I¡¯ll still give it to you, is that fine now?¡±


    A guard at his side uttered anxiously, ¡°Miss Luo, no matter what conditions you have, the prince will still agree. I beg you to save Yuan Shan, please!¡±


    The other person also cupped his hands and beseeched.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious, don¡¯t worry. He temporarily is not going to die on us.¡± Luo Qing Luan leisurely waved her hand. She had absolute confidence in her own abilities. Smiling slightly, Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t pay any more attention to those two subordinates. Instead, she stared at Nn Ye as the corners of her mouth curved up to say, ¡°Seriously? You¡¯ll give however much I want? That¡¯s good, then, I¡¯m also not greedy. What do you think is the value of your subordinate¡¯s life? Just give me however much you think his life is worth.¡±


    Ordinarily, Nn Ye wouldn¡¯t be in the mood to speak with Luo Qing Luan so seriously, using this as a pretext to dally with this adorable and interesting wife he¡¯s going to marry. But this time, he didn¡¯t know at all what Yuan Shan¡¯s situation was. His three subordinates who were doctors good medical skills already squandered one night, yet still didn¡¯te up with any cure at all. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he had always been someone who didn¡¯t show his feelings, very likely, he truly would have been unable to restrain himselfpletely.


    Moreover, he simply couldn¡¯t answer Luo Qing Luan¡¯s question. Thisss really is crafty! Yuan shan is actually an important trusted aide among his subordinates, in charge of gathering the country of North Yue¡¯s intelligence for many years. This time, he¡¯d returned wounded. He must have discovered some important information. This matter was extremely important. But to have him use money to weigh Yuan Shan¡¯s life against, he really didn¡¯t know how he much he should say. Five hundred thousand? A million, or two million taels? No matter how much he said, it would be wrong. Luo Qing Luan basically pointed at a mine for him to drill into.


    not knowing whether tough or cry, Nn Ye said, ¡°Qing Luan, even my......¡± Suddenly, he stopped in ce, waved his hand to have the two people waiting by his side withdraw. Thetter¡¯s face was filled with worry as he stared at Nn Ye, then looked at Luo Qing Luan. Unwillingness and anxiety crossed his entire face but he withdrew in the end. Nn Ye immediately changed his expression and continued out loud. ¡°Qing Luan, all of me already belongs to you. My subordinates naturally are also your subordinates. If you have a way to save him, then cure him first before we continue this discussion, is that eptable?¡±


    ¡°What, you¡¯re afraid he¡¯s going to die?¡± Luo Qing Luan gaze swept over him.


    ¡°With you undertaking this task, I naturally have faith in you, but......¡± Nn Ye was half awkward, half forcing a smile, simply seemed to be a different person than the ¡®iceberg prince¡¯ from the rumors.

 Chapter 91.2 - Her Ability

    <h4>Chapter 91b: Her Ability</h4>


    <h4></h4>


    Seeing Nn Ye so concerned, Luo Qing Luan also felt disinclined to tease him anymore and got up while responding, ¡°Don¡¯t say such things like all of you belong to me. Just give me one million taelster. Furthermore, the poison your subordinate contracted is very special. We have to wait until all of the poison appears before we can treat him. Otherwise, even if we temporarily separate some of it, within a short period of time, what¡¯s still hidden inside will break out again. Moreover, it will be more and more ferocious, and he will only be in more and more of a mess.¡±


    Unable to suppress a mischievous smile, Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°Last night, all of you had quite a difficult time sleeping, right?¡±


    Nn Ye was shocked. Indeed, it was as she said.


    Last night, the three pretty good doctors who were his subordinates was giving Yuan Shan treatment. After they did, not only did they fail, the situation became worse and worse instead.


    At the start, they even thought the poison had been removed. Unexpectedly, they felt relieved for but a short time, before Yuan Shan was still unconscious, yet the poison came back again. They continued to try to save him untilter on, they basically acted in confusion, unable to do anything about it, so much so that one of the doctors wasn¡¯t careful and cut his own finger, resulting in the poison entering his body. If the doctor didn¡¯t promptly cut off his own finger, maybe he would already be another patient lying down alongside Yuan Shan.


    Since Luo Qing Luan was able to name a price, then that was additional proof that she could provide the cure.


    A bright light seemingly passing through Nn Ye¡¯s eyes, he calmly watched as Luo Qing Luan walked in front of the bed and sat down. Opening Yuan Shan¡¯s eyelids, she studied his condition then inspected all of his body again. Uncovering the clothes on his chest, she helped him sit up first before speaking. ¡°Needles.¡±


    Having prepared all kinds of implements early on, Nn Ye just simply yed the role of her assistant, immediately unrolling the cloth fitted with silver needles, then handed it over to Luo Qing Luan.


    With a sweep of her eyes, Luo Qing Luan already picked up a needle about three inches long, then aimed at Yuan Shan¡¯s chest and inserted it.


    Her movements were skilful and fast, as if she practically didn¡¯t need to look. In a sh, Luo Qing Luan already inserted over seven silver needles. These techniques were somewhat simr to those employedst night, but very quickly, Nn Ye realized that they weren¡¯t the same.


    Luo Qing Luan grabbed Yuan Shan¡¯s hand. Bit by bit, she pinched his arm bit by bit along a straight line, as if there wasn¡¯t any significance to her actions whatsoever. After a short period of time, the answer became clear. At the ends of the ten plus silver needles inserted into his body, a ck liquid actually seeped out, slowly dripping down.


    Luo Qing Luan immediately grabbed a in white cloth at the head of the bed and caught this ck blood with a fishy stench. Watching the in white cloth gradually turn dark as it caught drop after drop of ck blood, although Nn Ye already had some expectations, he still sighed with admiration over her method. Although the cure wasn¡¯tpleted yet, after an hour, Yuan Shan¡¯s face¡¯s ash gray already went away quite a bit. But Luo Qing Luan still didn¡¯t stop. Following a set pattern, she started again to insert a needle into his head, but this time, she only inserted one needle.


    These kinds of poison was very difficult to deal with. Even whening into contact with the skin only, there was still a danger of being poisoned. Previously, the poison forced out from inside his body was not as bad, having been caught, it wouldn¡¯t drip on his body, but his head was the crucial point, especially the Baihui acupuncture point at the middle of his head. A little carelessness could cause the blood to flow backwards, adding injury to injury.


    After two hours, fine beads of sweat already collected on Luo Qing Luan¡¯s forehead. The date was already January eleventh, yet she was still so hot. It was obvious that her care, cautiousness, and mental focus as well as physical efforts wasn¡¯t ordinary.


    Nn Ye¡¯s heart ached watching, but yet didn¡¯t dare to rashly go touch her. Without much effort, he made hand signals while standing behind her. His subordinates concealed in a secret ce understood and immediately left to prepare things for bathing and hot tea. Once she ended the treatment, she could then rest properly.


    After another hour passed, Luo Qing Luan¡¯splexion already paled. She finally exhaled softly and put down the needles in her hand. ¡°These needles can¡¯t be reused. Burn then bury them. Your subordinate is fine now. Have your people prescribe anything to nourish his health and it¡¯ll be fine. He should be able to wake up tonight.¡±


    Noticing that Yuan Shan already recovered, Nn Ye rxed, therefore his attentionpletely turned to Luo Qing Luan. Seeing that her appearance was so exhausted, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Qing Luan, you must be tired. I had people set up everything already. You should first rest up a bit. In a moment, go take a bath. I¡¯ll have the kitchen prepare something for you to eat again.¡±


    epting the tea he handed over, the temperature was just right. Luo Qing Luan lifted her gaze. ¡°One million taels, remember.¡±


    She actually forgot all about her tiredness at the moment and even thought of money? Nn Ye no longer knew what to say about her as his heart ached, ¡°Fine. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll immediately have someone prepare it for you. Two million taels, how¡¯s that, are you happy?¡±


    He even thought that Luo Qing Luan would be pleasantly surprised and say that she¡¯s happy. Who knew she would put her cup down, nce at him, and say, ¡°Didn¡¯t you already say that all of you is mine? What, is it such a grand gesture to give me two million taels?¡±


    Suddenly not knowing whether tough or cry, Nn Ye couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Are you really that short on money?¡±


    ¡°How can I not? I¡¯m telling you, Nn Ye, there¡¯s nothing reliable in this world. Only money inside my own pocket is what will make me most reassured.¡± Luo Qing Luan had rxed a bit, herplexion recovering a little. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile, ¡°If you¡¯re really thankful, then it¡¯s best that you introduce me to a few ways to get rich or some connections to that purpose, then I can rx.

 Chapter 92.1 - Jealous Big Time

    <h4>Chapter 92a: Jealous Big Time</h4>


    <h4></h4>


    The poisoned person had already been cured. The matters left over didn¡¯t need Luo Qing Luan to worry about them. Even though Nn Ye urged her to eat a meal before going home, Luo Qing Luan still didn¡¯t agree to it.


    At this juncture, Wang Xue Ru seemed to have vanished. Even more anxious that Luo Qing Luan would be wedded soon, she basically didn¡¯t step away from her own Graceful Orchid Courtyard, while Luo Cheng was like a fish back in the water. Besides attending imperial court, and these kinds of unavoidable matters, the rest of his time was spent hanging out together with Hongyu, Zhangzhi and Songzhi.


    Having received word from Luo Qing Luan early on, not only did Zhangzhi and Songzhi do their best to ingratiate themselves with Luo Cheng, even Hongyu, for the sake of giving birth to a son, focused all of her mind on Luo Cheng. Even though Luo Qing Luan sometimes also felt bad that Hongyu was so young, yet had to be together with the almost fifty years old Luo Cheng, each person had their own ambitions. Hongyu only want to have a home she could be at and break away from her lowly origins. Everything else was unimportant.


    On the other hand, Mr. Yu from Immortal Dream TowerLuo Qing Luan sent people to find Luo Qing Luan, wanting her to give him some more pointers. It¡¯s just that she¡¯s had too many things to do and didn¡¯t have time. Today, she received Mr. Yu¡¯s invitation again. Thinking it wasn¡¯t good to decline again, she also wanted to see the situation at Immortal Dream Tower, so she should just go.


    As before, she changed into male clothing and dressed as an attractive schr. Even though Luo Cheng usually didn¡¯t care at all about Luo Qing Luan going out, she¡¯s headed for Immortal Dream Tower this time, so it¡¯s better to dress as a man.


    It was morning. The nighttime mor and carousing at Immortal Dream Tower had once again sunk into sleep. Compared with the surrounding shops¡¯ bustling noise and liveliness, it seemedpletely deserted.


    That fellow who was watching the door again looked drowsy. He didn¡¯t even notice that Luo Qing Luan came. She only smiled slightly then stepped through the door. Mama Du already knew earlier that Luo Qing Luan wasing. Once she saw Luo Qing Luan, her eyes shined and quickly weed her upstairs before respectfully withdrawing herself.


    Somewhat beyond Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expectations, besides the owner, Mr. Yu, she surprisingly also saw Nn Ye here. The rtionship between the two of them were already no longer as guarded and unfamiliar as the first time they met. Luo Qing Luan was startled but for a second, then she frowned and walked over, ¡°Nn Ye, you¡¯re actually visiting a courtesan house again?¡±


    In regards to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s astonishment, Nn Ye also didn¡¯t expect it. However, he instantly figured it out as he turned his head around and said to Nangong Yu, ¡°You asked her toe?¡±Although his voice was indifferent, someone familiar with Nn Ye could tell from experience that he was a bit displeased.


    Nangong Yu didn¡¯t think about it much, especially because he didn¡¯t have any other thoughts about Luo Qing Luan, so he overlooked this point. He smiled and said, ¡°Oh yeah, Ziqing, you don¡¯t know it, but this fiancee of yours is very difficult to invite. I¡¯ve already invited her four or five times. She finally gave me face this time and came.¡± He chuckled ¡®he he¡¯ and waved to Luo Qing Luan, ¡°Worthy Young Brother Luo,e sit down.¡±


    Just as he finished speaking, he reacted and pped his own head. ¡°Sigh. I¡¯m so used to calling you that. I obviously already knows that you¡¯re female and even someone who Ziqing is going to wed. It¡¯s just hard to change my mouth in a short time.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan nced at Nn Ye and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We can just call each other as before. Don¡¯t pay any attention to him. Just call me whatever you¡¯re used to.¡±


    That person actually didn¡¯t respond at all and maintained a cold and detached appearance instead. Could it be that he regretted giving her two million taels yesterday? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she made a trip today, it¡¯s possible that she still wouldn¡¯t have known that he visited these pleasure quarters again. She wondered how many times he¡¯de behind her back! Hateful!


    Luo Qing Luan indescribably felt unwell in her heart, yet didn¡¯t know why. Pondering it over, maybe it¡¯s because of Nn Ye¡¯s apathetic face.


    Yesterday, she even helped him save a person¡¯s life. In the blink of an eye, his attitude changed already, indeed destroying the bridge after crossing the river.


    Thinking to this point, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but be angry and no longer felt like bothering with Nn Ye. Acting like ¡®each minding their own business¡¯, she said to Nangong Yu, ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Yu, did you look for me, because of Immortal Dream Tower¡¯s business?¡± Speaking casually, she swept a nce downstairs from the decorative railings at the arrangement which had been made roughly ording to her directions at the beginning. There was just a little bit more ornamentation. Even the presentation stage had also been renovated and seemed even more refined, almost untouchable.


    ¡°Worthy Young Brother Luo is indeed intelligent. Nangong Yu smiled as he continued, ¡°After you gave some pointersst time, our Immortal Dream Tower has already upied an absolutely indisputable position in first ce. Even the second ce Exquisite Flowers Pavilion and third ce Maquige ce has also been thrown off far behind. Two days ago, Maquige ce¡¯s second ¡®queen of flowers¡¯, Ms. Miao¡¯Er, even sent someone to suggest that she¡¯s thinking ofing to our Heavenly Dream Tower.


    Luo Qing Luan said, smiling faintly, ¡°Since it¡¯s like this, then Mr. Yu, why are you still inviting me to talk business?¡±


    With a wave of his hand, Nangong Yu poured a cup of green tea and ced it in front of Luo Qing Luan, ¡°Worthy Young Brother Luo, these are old tea leaves picked from the nts at SuiMeng Hill thousands of miles away. In the entire country of Western Chu, there are only two catties. I¡¯m using tea in ce of wine to toast you. If you like, I have two hundred grams more here. It¡¯s also good if you take it home for a taste.¡±


    Steam from the tea rising in spirals, Luo Qing Luan hadn¡¯t approached before she already smelled a calming fragrance.


    Even though wasn¡¯t much in the habit of drinking tea, since this tea was so rare, she also had some interest in it. Lightly pursing her lips to take in a mouthful, Luo Qing Luan discovered how this tea stood out from the masses. Not only was there a fragrant after taste, it was even faintly sweet. Certainly not like the sweetness from fruits or perhaps candy. It was indescribable, but the taste was superb.

 Chapter 92.2 - Jealous Big Time

    <h4>Chapter 92b: Jealous Big Time</h4>


    <h4></h4>


    ¡°Mm, not bad. Then, many thanks to Mr. Yu.¡± Lou Qing Luan also didn¡¯t insist on ceremony. Since Mr. Yu gifted her this only because he¡¯s asking for her guidance. No matter how precious or rare it was, to refuse the gift would be impolite. She felt no qualms about receiving it. Watching by the side, Nn Ye¡¯s heart soured. Thisss really don¡¯t know how to decline? Forget the past. This time, she¡¯s already going to be his princess soon, yet she actually epted another man¡¯s gift right in front of his face? Did she not know how to give him a bit of face? Just a bit of tea leaves, that¡¯s all. If he¡¯d known earlier that she liked them, he wouldn¡¯t have declined the emperor¡¯s bestowment, which caused them to fall into Nangong Yu¡¯s hands. Once he thought of this point, Nn Ye regretted it.


    ¡°Qing Luan. Do you like to drink tea?¡± Nn Ye smiled and continued, ¡°There are many kinds in my mansion. You can have a look at themter. Take some home if you like them.¡±


    At present, Luo Qing Luan certainly wasn¡¯t in the mood for drinking tea. Having heard him, she replied, ¡°No need. I normally drink very little. What Mr. Yu gave is enough.¡±


    Without wasting any more time, she directly said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard Mr. Yu say that the business at Heavenly Dream Tower is not bad, yet you¡¯re still not reassured. Is there something more I don¡¯t know about?¡±


    Indeed, this was in fact the reason why he asked Luo Qing Luan toe here to think of a solution. Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s current reputation could indeed be said to be the capital¡¯s best. Even in the country of Western Chu, it was still fully deserving of being first ce. Even if Hongyu left, merely relying on Ruyan and Shimeng alone, they still didn¡¯t fall in fame in the least. Especially Shimeng, whose face was covered with a light veil all long, maintaining her mysteriousness. Not only were those officials and rich merchants not impatient, they rushed like ducks instead, hearts filled with difficult to endure itching.


    But Nangong Yu wasn¡¯t happy for long, because he discovered that other courtesan houses also started to imitate their methods. Those ces also set up a stage in the lobby and imitated the way that Hongyu, Shimeng, and Ruyan were presented to produce tens of ¡®queen of flowers¡¯. Although they couldn¡¯tpare to the originals, they still attracted some customers to go support them.


    Especially the second ce, Exquisite Flowers Pavilion. They found a girl who was seductive to the bone named Men and turned her into a chaste leadingdy, secretly serving patrons at a high price. It was unknown how many rich people had been swindled. Maybe it was Men¡¯s skillful techniques in the bedroom, but even after the matter was exposed, still nobody cared. To the contrary, she attracted even more dirty old men.


    Nangong Yu actually didn¡¯t care about an imitation ¡®queen of flowers¡¯, but from this, he could feel a sense of crisising. If the trend continued, his Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s position would be in danger. It was very possible that not long into the future, it will lose its absolute position. Not only did the feeling of losing first ce make him feel not well, more importantly, the effect on his profits made him have no choice but to consider everything in advance.


    ¡°Hearing you say that, it seems other courtesan houses are also learning quickly.¡± Luo Qing Luan knew what¡¯s going on, but wasn¡¯t surprised at all. To imitate was simple to begin with. Inter generations, there was always persistent giarism and knock offs of ¡®A¡¯ goods, unrestrained and prevalent. Wasn¡¯t it because the benefits were considerable, while the act was easy to carry out that imitations continued for a long time and were unstoppable? The ideas she gave to Nangong Yu was not difficult to learn to begin with. A little bit of mindfulness was all it took to understand them. It¡¯s been hard on Mr. Yu to have invited her so many times now.


    Nangong Yu was a bit anxious as he said, ¡°Worthy Young Brother Luo, this is really a big deal, a big problem for Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s profits. Moreover, you¡¯re also a forty percent shareholder. I wonder if you have even better ideas?¡±


    Of course there were ideas. Luo Qing Luan said calmly and leisurely, ¡°Mr. Yu has operated Heavenly Dream Tower for such a long time, do you have any experience to share? If you want to be in first ce for a long time, you have to thoroughly win over your customers¡¯ hearts, what¡¯s the most important thing we need to do?¡±


    This was a question that Nangong Yu had thought about before, ¡°This point was something that you already told mest time. It has to do with the word ¡®novel¡¯.¡±


    It¡¯s a pity, to know is one thing, but to carry it out is another matter altogether. Even though he¡¯s the Second Prince of Western Chu, and had experienced many matters which countless people didn¡¯t know about, if he¡¯d known the answer to this question, he would¡¯ve applied it already by now. Why would he wait until now to seek Luo Qing Luan¡¯s help?


    Two years ago, he conveniently used his identity to train well thedies at Heavenly Dream Tower. When they were chosen, they were already outstanding to begin with. After a period of training, he also paid attention to this aspect. Whether it was ying wind, wood, or stringed instruments, reciting poetry, or singing bads, their skills surpassed thedies at other courtesan houses by arge margin. That¡¯s how they rose so quickly, bing today¡¯s Heavenly Dream Tower.


    Luo Qing Luan waited until Nangong Yu finished speaking and couldn¡¯t help but smiled knowingly, ¡°Therefore, it you want to have Heavenly Dream Tower maintain its number one position, you will need to continue bringing in the new, have those behind you forever chasing your tail, but unable to reach you for the rest of their lives.¡±


    ¡°I wonder what bright ideas Worthy Young Brother Luo have?¡± Nangong Yu¡¯s eyes shined upon hearing this and couldn¡¯t help but urge her.


    Her brain full of ideas very likely couldn¡¯t be exhausted even for the rest of her life. Luo Qing Luan was just going to whisper in his ear to tell him when a hand suddenly blocked her off.


    ¡°Qing Luan, the good ideas you have, why don¡¯t you let me hear it, too. You don¡¯t have to whisper in his ear?¡±


    Nn Ye had been listening to the conversation between the two of them. Thisss was his fiancee to begin with, yet from start to end, she practically didn¡¯t look at him once, as if she waspletely absorbed by Nangong Yu. Watching this, his jealousy burst forth. Were it not for the fact that he knew Luo Qing Luan¡¯s personality was amenable to coaxing, but not coercion, he would¡¯ve carried her off on his shoulders to go home and teach her a lesson.


    But now, he could only assume a calm and tranquil appearance without revealing the slightest ripple before Nangong Yu as he said to him, ¡°I¡¯d like to know what good ideas Qing Luan have. Say it out loud so I can hear too, how about it?¡±

 Chapter 93.1 - Is This Person Crazy

    <h4>Chapter 93A: Is This Person Crazy</h4>


    Without sensing Nn Ye¡¯s considerations, Luo Qing Luan swept a nce over him, ¡°Other people imitated Heavenly Dream Tower to create ¡®queen of flowers¡¯, but they¡¯re merely making fools of themselves. We don¡¯t have to care about these things and only need to keep innovating. That¡¯s all.¡±


    The ideas she came up with were actually best for Hongyu to carry out, but Hongyu currently had already been redeemed and was now serving Luo Cheng. She would have to find a substitute first. This just happened to also be a good opportunity to push out a new ¡®queen of flowers¡¯. It¡¯s just that the ¡®queen of flowers¡¯ she would beunching was of a higher quality than the kind of ¡®topmodity¡¯ that the people of Western Chu had epted.


    Even the romance novels she penned were secretly much coveted. Luo Qing Luan had confidence that her ns would seed and asked, ¡°At present, who¡¯s the best dancer at Heavenly Dream Tower?¡±


    ¡°Can it be that Worthy Young Brother Luo wants to teach someone to dance?¡± Nangong Yu was somewhat curious.


    When it came to the courtesans, the skills they were best at involved only song and dance, these kinds of skills. As for other arts like painting, calligraphy, poetryposition, and so forth, a person needed to be naturally talented as well ase from a family with financial means in order to be nurtured. It¡¯s not like any random beautiful girl could just be found and instructed for a few days to be good at those other arts.


    Don¡¯t mention Heavenly Dream Tower, any random courtesan from any of the other courtesan houses basically had some skills. Those were not rare. And his Heavenly Dream Tower had a total of forty or fiftydies. There were close to ten best at dancing and were also very good at weing guests. Every time talent was disyed on the stage at the lobby, dancing was the talent most often on disy.


    Luo Qing Luan asked straightforwardly, ¡°That¡¯s good. Call all of those ten or so youngdies who can dance here. I¡¯d like to have a look at them first.¡±


    Nangong Yu called out and Mama Du, who was waiting outside, brought in a group of young women who were at the prime of their lives and whose figures were outstanding. Suddenly, the sounds of chittering and chattering, buzzing and chirping abounded. The private room on the fourth floor permeated with the fragrance of cosmetics. Over ten youngdies first curtsied in respect then stood in a straight line. It¡¯s just that they were also curious, each staring at Nangong Yu and Luo Qing Luan. Their gazes wandered on Nn Ye¡¯s body even more.


    One youngdy leading them stood in the middle, appearing to be fifteen or sixteen years old. Wearing a purple jacket over a long skirt, whose waist was slender, with a small yet exquisite face andrge eyes, and delicate skin. She also didn¡¯t put on airs and only seemed a little tired, disying anguid yet gentle and lovely manner. ¡°Sir, why have you called all of us? Last night, Boss Li from Myriad Treasures Tower had me dance the whole night through. I¡¯m still sleepy.¡±


    Once she heard this, Luo Qing Luan could tell that the young girl had not guessed Nangong Yu¡¯s identity. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been so casual. Even if it¡¯s her, she¡¯d already met him a number of times, also Nangong Chen and Nangong Qing as well and felt that Nangong Yu resembled the other two a bit. Yet only after she spoke to Nn Ye a number of times did she know his identity. However, she certainly wouldn¡¯t say anything about it and only sized up the ten or so girls before her. The idea in her mind slowly took shape.


    In the beginning, she even thought that Nangong Yu would only be able to find two or three outstanding dancers. She didn¡¯t expect for there to be more than ten of them, but that¡¯s fine, too. There were dances for small numbers of dancers and there were other types of dances forrge numbers of dancers. In any case, she only needed to bring forth new ideas and cause the customers¡¯ eyes to shine, astonished and stunned, that¡¯s all.


    As she looked at them, Luo Qing Luan even stealthily nced at Nn Ye, thinking that he had already been captivated by these women.


    This glimpse wasn¡¯t serious, but she actually discovered that Nn Ye simply wasn¡¯t paying any attention to that group of beautiful women. Instead, he was staring at her. After he noticed that she was looking his way, not only did Nn Ye not exercise restraint, he even smiled at her. The expression in his eyes suddenly became seductive and he actually winked at her.


    Watching this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart skipped a beat while her brain suddenly was reminded of thest time the two of them were alone together, the time when she was lying on his chest, teasing him. The two of them were half dressed, ambiguous to the extreme. Furthermore, those scenes brimming with seduction¡­¡­she suddenly shook her head. Why did she think of these things? Inexplicably, anger burst forth and Luo Qing Luan snapped at Nn Ye, ¡°What¡¯re you looking at, did your eyes cramp up or something?¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re not looking at me, how would you know that I¡¯m looking at you?¡± Nn Ye wasn¡¯t angry at all. Instead, he smiled, ¡°Moreover, Qing Luan, the two of us are getting married soon, so what if I took a few more looks at you?¡±


    Not feeling like bickering with him, Luo Qing Luan red at Nn Ye and no longer paid him any mind. Once Nangong Yu finished telling them the reason why he asked them toe, all of the women, whose eyes werezily half closed, instantly shined as they looked at Luo Qing Luan, as if she was made of gold.


    ¡°Is this Sir Luo?¡± That woman dressed in purple walked over, both surprised and delighted as she said, ¡°This servant is named Yan¡¯Er. Sir Luo¡­¡­oh, Miss Luo, are you teaching us sisters how to dance? I wonder what kind of dance it is, will it also make us famous?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan shook off her feelings from Nn Ye¡¯s attention and replied cooly, ¡°Whether you can be famous will depend on how well you learn. This dance I¡¯m talking about may not have ever been seen before by all of you. Even though it¡¯s not very difficult, but it¡¯s very different. If you¡¯re unable to express its distinguishing feature, or if there¡¯s doubt in your hearts, you¡¯ll bepletely incapable of expressing this kind of feeling.


    Yan¡¯Er replied very confidently, ¡°As long as it¡¯s something you¡¯re able to do, us sisters would not be unable to learn. I wonder what you want to teach us?¡±


    She¡¯d already learned all kinds of dances for seven or eight years. It¡¯s as if she started learning as a child and had learned quite a bit. Swan dances, rainbow feathered dances, flowing sleeves dances, wave dances and so forth, she even knew unusual sword dances. She was the best dancer in Heavenly Dream Tower.


    There was practically no dance she was incapable of dancing herself, not to mention there was no dance she was unaware of. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this Miss Luo before her hade up with new tricks which caused Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s business to prosper, perhaps she might¡¯ve thought that Luo Qing Luan was talking big.


    Luo Qing Luan replied, ¡°There¡¯s a kind of dance which is extremely alluring. It relies on the dancer¡¯s waist and hip strength to disy the dance¡¯s easthetics. It¡¯s very distinctive, but I¡¯m wondering if Yan¡¯Er and all of youdies have seen it before or not, and whether you dare to perform this dance?¡±

 Chapter 93.2 - Is this person crazy?

    <h4>Chapter 93B: Is this person crazy?</h4>


    These kinds of dances weremonce in the modern times. It was just that Luo Qing Luan had never heard of them here. She merely asked a question, wanting to know whether these ces had something simr. After all, she was the most familiar with western culture. She wasn¡¯t familiar with things in the north and south.


    ¡°Is Lady Luo talking about¡­ the Wild Dance?¡± Yan¡¯er thought for a moment before guessing.


    However, she had merely heard about these types of Wild dances from one of the guests who had visited from another country. She heard that it was popr amongst some tribes or ns. It was said that the dance focused a lot on the hips and waist. Later on, she had asked an extensively learned court dancer and found out that it was not that sexy. If this Young Lord Luo was talking about teaching them this Wild dance, how exciting would that be?


    The moment Luo Qing Luan heard it, she was a little surprised. However, she got Yan¡¯er to dance a few general moves. She also asked a few questions before she understood the reason why.


    So this was the Wild dancing of this area. Although it was a little simr to belly dances, the biggest difference was that it still focused a lot on the sleeves and was graceful. One would also dance in a very orderly fashion. They revealed most of their waist, added a girdle on and revealed a little of their arm. However, while the crucial point of focus was on their belly, but it waspletely wrapped up.


    She was thinking that, maybe, Wild dancing was the prototype of belly dances. It was simr, but alsopletely different. However, since Yan¡¯er knew a little bit of it would be a lot easier to teach them. Because she waspletely unable to dance, she could only exin a little bit, exining the main point. Whether or not it would be able to capture their charm waspletely up to what they made of it.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s most important job was to remodel a suitable set of clothes that would be able to reveal the genuine beauty and allure of bellydance.


    If Nangong Yu was the only one in the private room, perhaps Luo Qing Luan would have pointed it out directly. However, thinking about how Nn Ye was still around, she was not willing to reveal such a treat. Seeing so many beautiful youngdies revealing their little waists in front of him, revealing their arms and long legs, it would probably cause him to make those googly eyes. This thought made her ufortable.


    ¡°Nn Ye, you should retire first. I have to telldy Yan¡¯er and the others how they should dance.¡± Luo Qing Luan said coldly.


    Nn Ye¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. What did this brat want to teach them, that she would actually not let him see it? It instead made him extremely curious, causing him to feel a little jealous. Why was he not allowed to see them dance, but Nangong Yu was allowed to? Was it because Nangong Yu was their boss, so he could watch it? He was the Grand Price, and was even her fiance, yet she was chasing him out. What was the meaning of this?


    ¡°Qing Luan, why do you not permit me to see it, but allow Nangong Yu? Is this not unfair?¡± Nn Ye retorted.


    ¡°If I say you can¡¯t, then you can¡¯t. Are you going out or not?¡± Luo Qing Luan did not hesitate at all. Instead, she began to suspect that Nn Ye really wanted to see thesedies dance because he was a big pervert and was really daring. That he was able to act so arrogantly in front of her about it meant that he waspletely disregarding her. Nn Ye increased in jealousy and his expression darkened, remainingpletely silent.


    Luo Qing Luan paused, her eyebrows furrowing, refusing to say another word as well.


    Seeing the two of them quarrel, Nangong Yu was also aware of the rtionship between them and felt like something was off. These two¡­ if they wanted to quarrel, they didn¡¯t have to do so in front of him, right? What were they fighting for when they were about to get married? Nangong Yu immediately yed the peacemaker as he said, ¡°Hey, worthy little brother Luo, Prince, could you guys not fight? It¡¯s all for the sake of the Heavenly Dream Tower, right? If you have something to say, you should talk it over nicely. What is there that you can¡¯t talk about?¡±


    The moment Luo Qing Luan heard it, she said coldly, ¡°No way, with him around, I¡¯m not going to teach them. We¡¯ll talk once he¡¯s out of her!¡± After speaking, she red fiercely at Nn Ye. If it were not because others were there, she would have gotten rid of him long ago.


    ¡°Prince, look¡­¡±


    Nangong Yu felt a headacheing on and quickly wanted to advise Nn Ye.


    He didn¡¯t wish to offend either of these two. One of them was brilliant and quick-witted, who was able toe up with a whole myriad of ideas, able to ensure that his days ahead would be filled with gold. A divine god of fortune that he could not offend. The other was his good friend, and also famous for being ruthless for those who fell out of grace. Two faced and gloomy, he was even more afraid of offending him.


    Nn Ye could not be bothered. He was pissed as well. It couldn¡¯t be that this brat wanted to chase him off because she wanted to dance for Nanging Yu alone to see? As for the other oriole-and-swallow-like-girls, he had long since filtered them away and they did not even exist to him.


    ¡°This ce is the heavenly tower that wees anymore.Why should I, This Lord, have to leave?¡± Nn Ye¡¯s voice was icy, and his voice subconsciously dropped a few levels.


    Luo Qing Luan was even more ufortable when she heard it and immediately got angry, ¡°Nn Ye, what do you mean you won¡¯t go out? Don¡¯t you just want to see Yan¡¯er and the others dance? With so many beauties surrounding you, these group of gorgeously dressed women, you just want to please yourself by looking, right? Shameless, despicable!¡±


    The moment Nn Ye heard it, he felt like there was something off about it. He came back to his senses, ¡°You don¡¯t want me to see them dance?¡±


    Luo Qing Lan¡¯s expression was apathetic, ¡°What? Are you just that bored that you haven¡¯t seen women dancing before?¡± Nn Ye¡¯s anger washed away immediately. He felt like this brat was chasing him out because she didn¡¯t want him to see other girls dancing. She wasn¡¯t ostracising him, but was jealous!


    His heart was filled with joy as Nn Ye stood up to go, saying with a smile, ¡°Alright then, This Lord will make his move. We¡¯ll speak again once you are done teaching them.¡±


    When she saw that Nn Ye had changed by one hundred and eighty degrees, Luo Qing Luan stared nkly at him without knowing what to say. Wasn¡¯t he dead insistent on staying? Why did he decide not to look, and was even smiling? Once Nn Ye had really walked out and closed the door behind him, she muttered, ¡°This guy¡­ is he crazy? What is he smiling about!¡±

 Chapter 94.1 - Revising the wild dance

    <h4>Chapter 94A: Revising the wild dance</h4>


    The group of them stared nkly as Luo Qing Luan chased Nn Ye away. They stood there in a daze, not knowing what was right or wrong.


    That was the grand prince okay? He had actually been chased away by his own fiance. He had even left with a face full of smiles, not minding it in the least. This was way too strange, wasn¡¯t it? Initially, whenever the two fought, they had always been a bit worried. However, this hadpletely changed their point of view. He actually...


    That rumored ice cold prince had actually changed his character and be an easy-going person?


    Nangong Yu seemed to have understood something, and the gaze with which he looked at Luo Qing Luan was filled with respect. Yan¡¯er waited till the group of girls had regained their spirit. After seeing this drama y out, her attention quickly returned to the special dance item that Luo Qing Luan had spoken about before.


    This was something that would let them shake the nation. There was no way they could let this chance go by!


    Luo Qing Luan very quickly regained her cool as well and did not think about how strange Nn Ye was anymore. After giving it a thought, she looked at Yan¡¯er and said, ¡°The bellydance I spoke about, along with the wild dance that you mentioned, isn¡¯t that different. However, the oue is definitely different. In order to have that wow-factor, Lady Yan¡¯er, you should first dance a few moves of your wild dance to give everyone a look.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Yan¡¯er was not reserved as she boldly stood out and walked to the center.


    ¡°Oh my, Big Sis Yan¡¯er is about to dance. It¡¯s going to be a feast for the eyes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen Big Sis Yan¡¯er dance this wild dance before¡±


    ¡°Just what is the wild dance? It¡¯s so strange.¡±


    ¡°Stop being noisy, you¡¯ll know once Big Sis Yan¡¯er dances.¡±


    ¡°Aiya, Cui Cui, don¡¯t block me...¡±


    In the link of an eye, thedies dressed in a myriad of beautifully coloured skirts started to chatter amongst themselves. Without Nn Ye, the ce immediately turned lively and the aura changedpletely. Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t stop it either, instead, she thought that their personalities were not bad. They did not feel inferior or pity themselves just because they were in the heavenly tower. It was only with these sorts of attitudes that they would be able to dance well.


    Of course, she learned something new about the attitude with which Nangong Yu treated them.


    ¡°Alright, everyone, stand further apart. It¡¯s been a long time since I danced as well and am a bit unfamiliar. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to dance well.¡± A blush appeared on Yan¡¯er¡¯s face, as if she was a little worried that she would be a joke if she didn¡¯t dance well. However, sheh collected herself and calmed herself down. She stood sincerely on the stage and started to move gently.


    Everyone quieted down as Yan¡¯er moved, and Luo Qing Luan paid even closer attention.


    Very quickly. Luo Qing Luan noticed the differences between their wild dance and the bellydance that she wanted to teach them.


    As expected of Heavenly Tower¡¯s best dancer, Yan¡¯er¡¯s every movement let them feel her passion and expertise in dance. Her spirited and flexible movements apanied with her snow white arms were moving, especially when she moved her hips.


    Everyone watched with rapt attention. Even Nangong Yu, who was the most familiar with her, kept on nodding with approval. Although it was also his first time seeing Yan¡¯er dance this kind of particr dance, he noted with a nce that it was not bad. It was just that... Nangong Yu didn¡¯t notice how the dance that Yan¡¯er was doing right now was any different from the other dances she usually performed. Apart from the times where she would asionally sway her hips, which was rather fresh, it was not enough to entice those fussy guests and cause them to rush over and be intoxicated with it.


    Luo Qing Luan felt the same. When she saw her dance item, she smiled.


    That Yan¡¯er had that kind of skill meant that she just had to to give her a few more pointers and tell her to focus on these two points. Firstly, the expression on Yan¡¯er¡¯s face. Perhaps this dance was performed during a time where they had to offer sacrifice to the gods or had to be solemn, but the dancer¡¯s expression was full of sincerity and reverence. If she continued to maintain this kind of style in a ce like Heavenly Tower where people came to indulge in luxury, it would definitely kill the interest of their guests.


    The second point was of even more importance, which was the clothes that Yan¡¯er was wearing. Although she danced well, she waspletely covered up. Apart from the sleeves on her arms that revealed a little of her snow white skin, not much else could be seen. If they were able to change it up a little, the result would definitely be different.


    The dance was over very quickly. Yan¡¯er stood where she was, her face covered with a faint blush. Looking at Luo Qing Luan, she said a little tentatively, ¡°Young Miss Luo, what do you think?¡±


    ¡°You danced very well.¡± After saying this, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s tone immediately changed, ¡°But this will not do. We¡¯ll need to change two points.¡±


    ¡°Which two points?¡± Yan¡¯er immediately asked with curiosity.


    ¡°The first point is very simple.¡± Luo Qing Luan told Yan¡¯er about how she had to pay attention to change her facial expression. It definitely had to be attractive, secretive, enticing yet aloof and so on...


    In any case, they just had to use their eyes to attract the guests, causing them to feel like they couldn¡¯t have them no matter how much their heart ached for them. This ce was the heavenly tower, not the imperial court. They were not dancing for the royalties and did not have to be so orderly. They did not have to keep the original intent of the wild dance nor its original appearance.


    This was very simple. The moment Yan¡¯er heard it, she understood and nodded, ¡°What about the second point?¡± She knew as well that the second point was the more important one. Luo Qing Luan smiled knowingly as she said, ¡°Young Master Yu, give me a pair of scissors.¡±


    Although he did not know why Luo Qing Luan wanted a pair of scissors, he still instructed Mother Song to to fetch her a pair. Luo Qing Luan took it and went in front of Yan¡¯er, ¡°Don¡¯t move. I¡¯m going to change your skirt. You¡¯ll understand the meaning of oue then.¡±


    After speaking, she took the pair of scissors and directly cut Yan¡¯er sleeves. Two snow-white arms appeared.

 Chapter 94.2 - Revising the wild dance

    <h4>Chapter 94B: Revising the wild dance</h4>


    Yan¡¯er trembled a little, but was immediately calm. She was not those bashful nobles from those big ns. This was the Heavenly Tower. A ce that soldughter and people. It was no big deal to reveal some parts of her arms. Instead, she started to look at Luo Qing Luan and see just how she was going to change her clothes. She watched without moving. Once Luo Qing Luan had cut her long skirt to reveal her thigh, those girls surrounding her started tough. Yan¡¯er could also take it no more. She looked at Nangong Yu was was smiling but also looking at her ambiguously and said a little bashfully, ¡°Young Miss Luo, this... do you really have to cut it like this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not done, don¡¯t be anxious.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan casually replied, but her hands never stopped moving.


    She cut Yan¡¯er¡¯s long purple skirt until it barely covered her butt. Although it would be even better adding some tassels to it, this was barely enough. After that, she took the scissors and went to Yan¡¯er waist area. In a few moments, shepletely revealed her navel.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Yan¡¯er cried out. She didn¡¯t think that Luo Qing Luan would be so savage. If she continued cutting, would she not bepletely bare? Could it be that this bellydance had to be performed naked? The moment she thought of this, Yan¡¯er felt a little out of it.


    ¡°Young Miss Luo, you...¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll be done soon.¡± Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t reply to her, and was already beginning to fiddle with her undergarments. The undergarments of this time period were really troublesome. It seemed that she would have to change it up for it to work. Luo Qing Luan thought for a bit and had no choice but to roll her undergarments up for the time being to cover her chest area. Then, she used a piece of ribbon to secure it. As for her lower abdomen, she just had to pull her skirt a little lower and it would be fine.


    In just a moment, Yan¡¯er hadpletely transformed under Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hands.


    Both arms were revealed, revealing her tenderness and attractiveness. Her fair abdomen that was normally concealed, was now revealed with her long legs only semi covered up. It really left a lot to the imagination. Only her most important parts were concealed, and Yan¡¯er stood where she was, extremely bashfully. Her face waspletely red and was in a daze as everyone¡¯s eyes were on her.


    However, Luo Qing Luan smiled, ¡°This will have to do for now. The oue will be even better once we change the clothes up.¡±


    Nangong Yu was not lost in her charm, but the Yan¡¯er in front of him was bashfully standing there in such revealing clothes. Even he couldn¡¯t help but feel that his horizons had been widened. It was only when Luo Qing Luan spoke that he reacted, beaming, ¡°That¡¯s great. Yan¡¯er, dressed like this, we don¡¯t even have to talk about dancing. You¡¯ll entice those guests just by standing there.¡±


    ¡°Alright, Yan¡¯er you should go ahead and try dancing. See if the results will be the same?¡± Luo Qing Luan urged.


    ¡°I really have to dance like this?¡± Yan¡¯er was a little reserved.


    Although she was ady of the Heavenly Tower, the moment she thought of how she would have to stand in front of so many men, dancing like this, she was a little overwhelmed.


    Luo Qing Luan understood the moment she saw her expression and said lightly, ¡°If you want to be innovative, you¡¯ll naturally have to understand the likes and dislikes of the guests. Those guests whoe to Heavenly Tower are looking for fun, not here to study to pass a test. If you have to pay attention even to what you wear and neglect your intrinsic quality, then is there a need to stay at Heavenly Tower? When you¡¯re specialised in something, you have to understand the hardships of it. Everyone wants to reveal their talent and will naturally have to pay a price for it. However,pared to the otherdies of Heavenly Tower, who have to sell their bodies, you guys just have to dance to entice them. This is already much more fortunate.¡±


    ¡°How much you earn will determine how quickly you will be able to leave this ce. I am merely giving you guys an opportunity. Whether or not you want to grasp it, is up to you to decide.¡±


    Giving this awakening, Yan¡¯er finally came to her senses. If it were not because she was in Heavenly Tower, where the owner, Master Yu, had treated them quite well, in other ces, even in the Rogue Pavilion or the Beautiful Blossom shop, she would have long since lost her purity. Now, she was just asking her to dance, and if she could turn into a famous courtesan just by doing that, it would be a dream. Only then would she be able to maintain her purity and leave this ce. When she thought of this, she immediately replied with a lowered voice, ¡°Master Yu, Lady Luo, Yan¡¯er understands.¡±


    Perhaps it was because she had put herself into the shoes of those who had been in Heavenly Tower for a long time, Yan¡¯er very quickly steadied herself. Her expression changed to be one that was extremely attractive. She cared not that her clothes had been snipped and spoilt, choosing once again to dance that wild dance that she did before.


    ¡°Yes, just like that. Remember your gaze...¡± As she danced, Luo Qing Luan would remind her.


    This time it was not only Nangong Yu, but even the otherdies were incredibly excited upon seeing it. Yan¡¯er entire body exuded charm with her every movement and smile. Her eyes would lightly look up, but it was like she had exchanged thousands and ten thousands of words. Her slender arms and soft waist really enticed one as it swayed and shook with passion. Luo Qing Luan finally smiled, this Yan¡¯er actually picked it up really quickly.


    The bad part was that she had to wait until she had suitable clothes. Only then would it be more suited. Covering up only the essential bits and adding some tassels and pearls would allow Yan¡¯er and the others to feel more at ease. Anyway, those guests would only be lost in the moment and enticement, allowing Heavenly Tower¡¯s name to reach the pinnacle once again.


    Once the dance was over, Yan¡¯er was already standing in front of Nangong Yu. She touched his face lightly and smiled coquettishly, ¡°Master, how was Yan¡¯er dance?¡±


    ¡°Great, great!¡± Nangong Yu burst intoughter, ¡°Yan¡¯er, This Lord guarantees that you will be the fourth queen courtesan of Heavenly Tower, your name will be great!¡±

 Chapter 95A - Teaching Nalan Ye’s guard a lesson

    <h4>Chapter 95A: Teaching Nn Ye¡¯s guard a lesson</h4>


    Yan¡¯er¡¯s wild dance was not bad at all. Luo Qing Luan just gave her a few pointers on what she could change, and the end result was really almost there.


    She had left Yan¡¯er in charge of instructing the other girls. Luo Qing Luan was prepared to train them into the young maidens of her time. Yan¡¯er would naturally be their leader, in charge of handling the others. As for the most important clothes, she had already gotten Nangong Yu to bring her pen and paper for her to draw on.


    As she was always drawing her erotic pictures, Luo Qing Luan had already trained her basic drawing skills. As she designed the clothes, she used her skills to draw it out meticulously. Their undergarments would wrap their snowy peaks tightly, and on it would be embellished with glitter. Their lower abdomen would have to bepletely revealed, there would also have to be many gold beads stitched to the bottom of the skirt in tassles. It would be able to cover the body even more as it swayed in tandem with their hips.


    Nangong Yu heaped praises on her when he saw this, ¡°Worth Little Brother Luo, you¡¯re too amazing. You¡¯re even able to think of such a special kind of garment. I can see it already. Once Yan¡¯er and the others appear to dance, the guests will go absolutely crazy.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good. Remember that you cannot skimp of the clothes and materials used to make it. I¡¯ll congratte you in advance for raking in the money.¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled as she cupped her fists towards the man.


    It would probably take more than a month for them to push out the orders, and they would have to prepare properly in advance. Luo Qing Luo and Nangong Yu discussed more on the details before preparing to return to the residence.


    She did not know whether or not Nn Ye was still waiting by the door, but the moment Luo Qing Luan opened the door to take a look, she saw Nn Ye bring a table in from who-knows-where, pouring himself a drink by the door. There were even two young male guards standing beside him. It was just that the gazes with which they looked at her were a bit strange. They shed by only momentarily, and she wasn¡¯t sure if she had mistaken.


    The moment he saw here out, Nn Ye¡¯s handsome face revealed an intoxicating expression. His lips hooked up, ¡°Qing Luo, are you done?¡±


    When she saw that Nn Ye had actually waited for so long by the door, Luo Qing Luan was extremely satisfied as she said, ¡°What? Upset that you waited for so long?¡±


    ¡°How could I be? As long as it is for you, This Lord will wait for however long it takes.¡± Nn Ye was in a good mood as he replied with a smile.


    ¡°Look at you, you even shifted a table over, shamelessly blocking the road.¡± Luo Qing Luan smirked.


    Nn Ye instructed, ¡°Yuan Xin, keep the table away.¡±


    The two youths standing behind him replied, ¡°Yes, Master Ye.¡± The two of them immediately moved, one person taking the items on the table with utmost speed, while another taking the table directly. They opened a door to a private room and ced it in, immediately making the area in front of them spick and span This took less than the time it took one to drink half a cup of tea.


    Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but smile when she saw this, ¡°Nn Ye, why are you so obedient today?¡± She felt like it was strange. Ever since the both of them had spent the night alone together, Nn Ye had gone through a huge change. Not only did he agree without hesitation to her helping him find twodies to be his concubines, he had even be extremely obedient. Compared to how they always faced each other with swords drawn, this was really much different from how they used to be.


    ¡°This Lord is only obedient to you, alright?¡± Nn Ye walked over and said to her in a soft voice. It was iparably gentle, and even his warm breath was on her face. Luo Qing Luan felt extremely itchy and immediately retreated, scolding him with furrowed brows, ¡°Don¡¯t give me that. Nobody will believe you.¡±


    Nn Ye did not only not bother about her, and instead, his hand snaked across her waist. It was at this moment that Nangong Yu had taken the picture that Luo Qian Luan had just drawn and walked out. He looked up and saw those two and couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Prince, how could the both of you stand here...¡± Nn Ye inwardly frowned and pulled his hand back, saying coldly, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Qing Luan and I will head off first. You don¡¯t have to send us off.¡± After speaking, He pulled on Qing Luan and headed downstairs, leaving behind a puzzled Nangong Yu, who was totally oblivious to how he had offended him.


    Nn Ye pulled on her and walked quite a bit away and it was only when they reached the second level that Luo Qing Luan threw his hand off. Although she did not hate his touch, she was unustomed to his actions.


    ¡°Alright, you should go ahead and get your own things done. I¡¯ll be going home as well.¡± Luo Qing Luan said.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, this Lord should just send you back. I¡¯m worried of you being alone.¡± Nn Ye recovered his smile again and appeared to be deeply concerned. ¡°Right, Qing Luan, we¡¯re about to get married already, and many things will be going on during this period of time. You better not keep running around.¡±


    Not letting her outside? No way! Luo Qing Luan rejected him without thinking, ¡°So what if we¡¯re getting married? We¡¯re just going through the motions. Could it be that you really take me as your wife? I¡¯m going to say this clearly now, you do your own things, and I¡¯ll do mine. We should stay out of each other¡¯s way.


    Suddenly, one of the guards who had been following behind Nn Ye said coldly, ¡°Young Miss Luo, you will immediately be our Princess. Everything you do will represent Lord Ye and the Royal residence. We have to trouble you to think of your own identity before you do anything or say anything.


    She nced at him, and it waspletely out of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expectations that someone would actually lecture her.


    She had promised to marry Nn Ye, and this was the agreement that they had made. However, even if they were going to be married, they would interfere with each other. Even Nn Ye had not objected, and this person was merely a guard, a subordinate. He actually dared speak to her like this?


    ¡°What is your name?¡± Luo Qing Luan said lightly.


    ¡°Yuan Xin, watch your words.¡± Nn Ye furrowed his eyebrows and said solemnly, ¡°From now on, whatever the Princess said goes. Who are you to criticise her ?¡±

 Chapter 95B - Teaching Nalan Ye’s guards a lesson

    <h4>Chapter 95B Teaching Nn Ye¡¯s guards a lesson</h4>


    The one called Yuan Xin was ridiculing, but he still lowered his head and said, ¡°Yes, Lord Wang. Your subordinate understands.¡± Nn Ye did ce a lot of emphasis on this guard as he thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Yuan Xin, once we return, send Young Miss Luo back to her residence. From today onwards, you will follow her. You are not to cause trouble and are to guard her wellbeing. If anything happens, I will hold you ountable.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan was surprised when she heard it. She could tell at a nce that this guard called Yuan Xin was quite powerful. Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have been able to be one of Nn Ye¡¯s personal guards. She didn¡¯t think that he would actually gift his guard to her, saying that it was to keep her safe? Could it be that she was actually in danger? Also, she was not used to having an unknown male by her side.


    ¡°No need...¡± However, before she had finished rejecting him, Yuan Xin was the first to speak out. His expression changed immediately, ¡°Lord Wang, do you no longer want your subordinate?¡±


    Nn Ye replied, ¡°How could I not want you? It is precisely because I value you that I have gotten you to take care of the future princess¡¯s well-being during this period of time. Things have been happening in Yuan Shan, and you should know that things have not been safe recently. The safety of your future princess is of utmost importance. Nothing untoward can happen.¡±


    Yuan Xin was still unresolved, ¡°However, Lord Wang, your safety is even more important! Your subordinate cannot rest assured. If only Yong An apanies you, your subordinate worries that something will happen to you. I plead for Lord Wang to rescind your order.¡± After speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground and requested with cupped fists.


    ¡°You...¡± Nn Ye didn¡¯t think that Yuan Xin would be like this. It was out of his expectations.


    She never thought that another person would appear by her side, which was why Luo Qing Luan had rejected him. However, seeing that this person hadpletely disregarded her, she became angry again. If she didn¡¯t want him, that was her issue. However, it couldn¡¯t be because they didn¡¯t respect her. If she had not paid attention to their gazes in the beginning, she may not have minded. However, she had very clearly felt that while Nn Ye was concerned for her, his guardspletely did not take notice of her at all.


    Now that Luo Qing Luan thought about it, those two guards called Yuan Xin and Yong An had not even greeted her at all.


    She was still the wife that Nn Ye was going to marry back, as well as the future mistress of the household. However, these two guards had clearly disregarded her, showing clearly that they didn¡¯t like her.


    When she thought of this, Luo Qing Luan red at Yuan Xin, then nced at the rather ted Yong An. She said lightly, ¡°Nn Ye, I feel like you make sense. Why don¡¯t I just take both guards. Right, I want the other one as well, can you bear to?¡±


    The more they didn¡¯t want to, the more she would insist on it. This was her personality. If others were good to her, she would treat them ten times better. However, if they just refused to respect her and treated her lightly, she could also let the other party suffer. Even if they were Nn Ye¡¯s men, she would make no mistake.


    Initially, he still wanted to advise Luo Qing Luan to ept his bodyguards. Now that he heard this, Nn Ye smiled, ¡°How could I not? This Lord is worried that you don¡¯t know any martial arts, and yet have no one by your side to protect you. It¡¯s the best if you¡¯re willing to. Yuan Xin and Yong An aren¡¯t bad.¡±


    The moment he heard what Nn Ye, the initially rejoicing Yong An had on a crestfallen expression. He knelt down with Yuan Xin, saying, ¡°Lord Wang, you can¡¯t. How could your subordinates leave Lord Wang? We plead for Lord Wang to rescind the order!¡± This time, Nn Ye didn¡¯t even bother saying anything. His expression turned solemn as he said, ¡°What? I¡¯m asking you to protect your future princess. You dare disobey?¡±


    ¡°Your subordinates do not dare. We only plead to remain by Lord Wang¡¯s side to protect you.¡± They replied simultaneously.


    Nn Ye¡¯s expression had darkened by now. At this time, Luo Qing Luanughed lightly as if she didn¡¯t care about it, ¡°Forget it. They¡¯re not willing and I will not force them. If they fail to protect me, I would worry how they would fare until Lord Ye¡¯s hands. I wonder whether or not he would punish you then. Since they have no skill or guts, I would rather not have these useless people by my side to save on the inconvenience.¡±


    She had just spoken, but the expressions of Yuan Xin and Yong An, who were kneeling on the ground, darkened. They said lowly, ¡°Young Miss Luo, please watch your words. We are guards of Lord Wang, not those wastrals who just apany thosedies out to have fun and waste their time. The safety of Lord Wang is even more important. Young Miss Luo, as ady, as long as you do not run over to the brothel like you did today, you should be fine.¡±


    ¡°Impudent! Yuan Xin, Yong An, how dare you talk to the future princess like that?¡± Nn Ye was enraged as he said with an icy expression.


    ¡°There is no need to chastise them.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan did not like them the moment she saw them, and had already decided to punish them. She said apathetically, ¡° All men treasure their lives and are afraid of death. They know that something will happen if they apany me, so it¡¯s natural for them to run and hide. Nn Ye, you should know them well. There is no need to force it.¡±


    After Luo Qing Luan used them of being afraid of death and even called them wastrals, how could the most powerful two, Yuan Xin and Yong An be resolved?


    Their expressions turned cold as they said, ¡°I wonder what ability Princess has, that you humiliate us like this?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan replied lightly, ¡°You dare not protect ady like me who doesn¡¯t even have enough strength to truss a chicken. If you¡¯re not useless, then what are you? You even have the face to ask.¡±


    The both could take it no longer, raging, ¡°Young Miss Luo, you can¡¯t help but be rude.¡±


    ¡°For both of you who have no ability, do I still have to be courteous?¡± Luo Qing Luan nced over them, saying, ¡°For the both of you, I, thisdy, can put you down anytime. Do you want to try?¡±

 Chapter 96A - She Just Likes to Mess Around with People

    <h4>Chapter 96A: She Just Likes to Mess Around with People</h4>


    After being humiliated by such a youngdy, even firm and persistent people like Yuan Xin and Yong An could take it no longer.


    As for the fact that Luo Qing Luan would be their future princess, they had never cared for it. There were many who fancied their prince. Didn¡¯t they even see before with their own eyes, Princess Wan¡¯er had oncee to look for their prince, but he had chased her out without speaking a single word to her. What less for this second miss of the general¡¯s household?


    Especially since a few days ago where Luo Qing Luan had saved Yuan Shan. As an older brother, Yuan Xin was initially suspicious of it. He never thought that Luo Qing Luan would actually have this kind of ability. Later on, when he found out that in order to save Yuan Shan, the prince had actually given Luo Qing Luan two million silvers, he finally saw that this weakass youngdy was actually someone blindly in love with money.


    Was a woman like this worthy of their prince? If it were not for the imperial edict, even Yuan Xin would have advised the prince against taking this kind of woman as his wife.


    This was why when Nn Ye had mentioned protecting Luo Qing Luan, Yuan Xin had rejected it without a second¡¯s thought. He didn¡¯t think that Luo Qing Luan would actually curse them for being useless. He simply couldn¡¯t take it! This was why Yuan Xin and Yong An¡¯s expressions had turned cold, cupping their fists towards Nn Ye, pleading, ¡°We plead for Lord Wang to be the master to let uspete against Young Miss Luo!¡±


    In their rage, both of them had forgotten that they were men. Actually having a battle with Luo Qing Luan, a young girl, was having aplete advantage. They merely thought of teaching Luo Qing Luan a lesson. Although they were unlikely to injure her because of their Master, they would get her to watch herself in the future and stop being so unbridled.


    Yuan Xin and Yong An had not paid any attention to Nn Ye¡¯s eyes, but how could he not know that Luo Qing Luan was also of the same frame of mind to teach the two of them a lesson? This little brat that he had spent so much effort to obtain, how would she easily let others bully her? Even for himself, if he was a little bit careless, he would fall prey to her as well. What more for these two?


    With a light smile, Nn Ye folded his hands and nced at the two who were kneeling on the ground, ¡°What? You want topete against your future princess? If you lost, would This Lord lose my reputation along with you?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan would quickly be thedy boss of the Prince¡¯s residence. She would eventually have to manage them. Nn Ye was not willing for them to look down on Luo Qing Luan or disrespect her. Since it was so, he might as well let them know early on how this seemingly harmless brat actually got things done.


    Faced with Nn Ye¡¯s casual reply, the two of them who were still unreconciled with the fact that Luo Qing Luan was going to be their future princess were filled with fighting spirit. They said without hesitation, ¡°Your subordinates will definitely not embarrass you. Qing Luan, what do you think? Are you serious when you say you want topete with us?¡± Nn Ye shook his head helplessly before turning to Luo Qing Luan, ¡°They¡¯re This Lord¡¯s personal bodyguards who have been with me for seven to eight years. Are you really not afraid of losing?¡±


    When she saw the look in Nn Ye¡¯s eyes, Luo Qing Luan pretty much guessed what he was thinking. It wasn¡¯t like Nn Ye didn¡¯t know of her capabilities. It seemed that he was sincerely giving her these two men to take care of her. Since that was the case, she would not waste the opportunity. Although she did not like having unfamiliar men by her side, since they were talented, she would be able to find a use for them.


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing , I, This Lady, will teach them a lesson. I won¡¯t hold back.¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled lightly, even casting a nce over to Yuan Xin and Yong An.


    After her contemptuous gaze, any man would not be able to take it, let alone the personal bodyguards of Nn Ye? As such, the two of them requested again topete with her. Nn Ye deliberately wanted to see a good show, so he agreed.


    After cupping their fists to Nn Ye, Yuan Xin and Yong An directly turned the corridor to the outside of the second level of Heavenly Dream Tower. They said to Luo Qing Luo, ¡°I wonder how Young Miss Luo ns to battle?¡± They were men, and would naturally give in a little. No matter how Luo Qing Luan wanted topete, they were not afraid.


    ¡°We canpete in anything?¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled mysteriously.


    Yuan Xin was about to agree when Yong An, who was standing beside him, pulled on him. He said, ¡°As long as it¡¯s not to do with female embroidery or instruments,


    She already had an idea, so Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°That¡¯s good then, we won¡¯t have to waste time. Let¡¯s make it simple. You¡¯re guys, so how do you feel about letting me go first? As long as you are able to stand me, I¡¯ll admit my loss. If you insist on starting first, then I¡¯ll have nothing to say.¡±


    To get them to hit ady, who was also the future wife of their master, was something that Yuan Xin and Yong An did not have the guts to do yet. What she said was in line with what they felt, so they replied, ¡°Alright, if we actually lose, we¡¯ll obey Young Miss Luo from now on and will not let our Master Wang worry anymore.¡±


    ¡°Alright, no problem.¡± Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°But what if I win?¡± Yong An asked without hesitation, ¡°If both of us are unable to withstand Young Miss Luo, in the future, you are to take punishments withoutint.¡±


    ¡°Alright, deal.¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shed as a teasing expression appeared on her face. She beamed as she looked at Nn Ye, ¡°So sorry, but your two men will fall under my hands soon.¡±


    Nn Ye knew that Luo Qing Luan had already won as he smiled, ¡°This Lord isn¡¯t stingy with his two men, being able to follow you is their blessing, and I have earned it cheaply.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°You have a good eye.¡±

 Chapter 96B - She Just Likes to Mess Around with People

    <h4>Chapter 96B: She Just Likes to Mess Around with People</h4>


    When they saw that Nn Ye had already concluded that they would lose, they were even more determined to win it. They had decided that no matter how Luo Qing Luan beat them, they would persevere, they would not give up. After exchanging nces, Yong An opened his mouth to say, ¡°Young Miss Luo, please start.¡±


    She had never seen someone so stupid. He was about to lose, but he didn¡¯t even know it. Luo Qing Luan smirked and walked in front of the both of them. She intentionally made a show of appraising them. She even stretched out her little pinky that was like a little spring onion, as if she was deciding how to beat them up.


    Nn Ye shook his head and secretly smiled. He just knew that this brat was beginning to mess with them. Whatever, she could do whatever she wanted as long as she was happy.


    ¡°If I really did go all out and identally kill you, you guys wouldn¡¯t regret it, right?¡± Luo Qing Luan acted as if she was really going to strike but suddenly stopped. She looked solemnly at them and said rather hesitantly, ¡°Forget it. You guys are Nn Ye¡¯s men. This Lady should just forget it and let you keep your lives.¡±


    They were angry when they heard it, and Yuan Xin¡¯s expression turned dark as he said, ¡°No need. Young Miss Luo, you should just do your best. If we lose, we¡¯ll be resigned to it.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan raised her hand again before putting it down, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m afraid of hurting you. What if you hate me ande after me for revenge? I¡¯d be annoyed to death.¡±


    Their anger roared to life once again. Even Yong An could take it no longer as he raged, ¡°Young Miss Luo, not mentioning us subordinates looking down on your little bit of strength, but even if there were ten of you, you would not be able to hurt us. You should just do your worst.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    She was already dying ofughter inside. Luo Qing Luan never thought that it would be so fun to make fun of these two fools. She didn¡¯t stop smiling as she said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll really attack you, okay? Are you prepared?¡±


    They replied, ¡°We are, Young Miss Luo. You may begin.¡± Damn it, they really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. If their prince was not standing there, they really wanted to teach this woman a lesson. She was actually messing with them, how cruel!


    Luo Qing Luan appeared to think it over before finally making up her mind, ¡°Alright then, since I¡¯ve already warned you thrice and you still want me to attack you, don¡¯t renege once you lose!¡±


    ¡°We definitely will not!¡± They were both already suppressing their gloominess to the max, their lowered voices like rumbling thunder. ¡°Mm, then I¡¯m going to act.¡±


    Finally, Luo Qing Luo lifted her hand again and her little hand looked like it was boneless and done without any strength put behind it. It was also unusually slow. Yuan Xin and Yong An were enraged and red at her silently. They had already begun plotting how to make fun of her once she had lost.


    Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t hold back at all. Her little hand slowly stretched towards Yuan Xin¡¯s chest as if she was going to push him. It was not only Yuan Xin but also Yong An who didn¡¯t suspect a thing. An icy smile hung on their lips. They only saw that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand wasing closer and closer. They initially thought that this woman was actually messing with them again, but who would have thought that the moment they thought that, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand increased in speed and her hand closed into a single finger, pressing on the front of Yuan Xin¡¯s chest.


    Yong An secretly smiled. He only saw that Luo qing Luan had stretched a finger and wasing his way. He was already prepared to let her prod him, so he did not avoid it. However, during this split second, he saw Yuan Xin, who had been prodded by Luo Qing Luan, suddenly jolt before falling down as if he had lost all his strength. He immediately felt like something was off and finally felt a sense of crisis.


    However, it was toote. Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand was already almost to his chest.


    An intense wave of numbness coursed through his entire body. It was like he was struck by a bolt. Yuan Xin feltpletely weak, as if a strange power had cut through him. He also fell to the ground without control. As for his expression, he had an indescribable shock. He was incredibly shocked. Why! Why!


    What was going on? How did he get knocked down by a woman who had just touched him lightly? What method was this?


    A face with a pretty smile dashed over and appeared above them. The ridiculously confused Yuan Xin and Yong An had their thoughts in chaos when they heard Luo Qing Luan;sughed, ¡°I told you guys earlier on to be careful, but who knew that you wouldn¡¯t pay my advice any mind. You¡¯re onlyfortable after falling, right?¡±


    They only saw her raise nothing but a finger, but a needle that looked as weak as a strand of hair appeared as well. It was disyed without the least bit of apprehension to them as she smiled, ¡°How was it. You couldn¡¯t hold up, could you? You guys lost!¡± After speaking, she turned around to face Nn Ye, ¡°These two men of yours. Are they now mine?¡±


    Without any misgivings, Nn Yeughed heartily, ¡°Qing Luo, you just love messing with people. This Lord knew that Yuan Xin and Yong An wouldn¡¯t be your opponents. Since they¡¯ve caught your eye, I¡¯ll definitely give them to you. You can do whatever you want with them.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan pursed her lips, ¡°These two fools, if I let them go outside, they might shame me. We can think about it again after I¡¯ve taught them a thing or two. Right, my primary concern now is that I have nobody to help me sell my littleics. This business is so profitable, we definitely have to expand it. It might as well be your two.¡±


    Littleics? It shouldn¡¯t be the most popr little pornography books in the capital, right?


    When Yuan Xin and Yong An heard that Luo Qing Luan actually wanted them to do something so lowly like selling these books, they wanted to kill themselves.

 Chapter 97A - Subduing the both of them

    <h4>Chapter 97A: Subduing the both of them</h4>


    Yuan Xin was fourteen years old when he entered the Dark Pce. He became vice captain of the Dark Sparrow Team when he was sixteen. At seventeen, he followed Nn Ye. He concealed his identity and nobody knew who he was.


    Yong An was about as powerful as he was. He was also the product of very strict training. Only then were they able to be the main bodyguards of Nn Ye.


    It was just that Yong An was a baby abandoned at birth. He didn¡¯t know his real identity. Yuan Xin¡¯s whole family was killed by bandits and was saved by the people from the Dark Pce just before he died. That¡¯s how he survived today.


    It went without saying that they were strong and smart. The both were well known in the Dark Pce. Otherwise, the safety of Nn Ye would not be dependent on just the two of them.


    Of course Nn Ye¡¯s martial arts were stronger than theirs, but there were many things that were not convenient for him to do. At those times, he would have to rely on them.


    Even the western district¡¯s emperor knew that Nn Ye had two great guards beside him who would follow him into battle, defending against the north. He had once tried to poach them, but Nn Ye had rejected him.


    This was especially so for each and every single guard in the west district even though they did not know Yuan Xin and Yong An¡¯s identity. Of course, outsiders would not know about the fact that they were from the Dark Pce.


    So, at this very moment, Yuan Xin and Yong An had never been in such a shameful situation. It was simply more devastating than being told that they had a terminal illness. They sat in the middle of the room, looking at the papers and ink brush lying in front of them. They wanted to cry but they had no tears. They were so regretful that they wanted to die.


    This ce wa sno longer the Heavenly Dream Tower. Luo Qing Luan had led the two men back to the general¡¯s residence. She thought about how easily she had obtained both of Nn Ye¡¯s men and immediately led the two of them to one of her specialised rooms. She began to tell them what they had to do in the next period of time.


    ¡°What, you lost the bet so you have to pay up. Both your expressions are so dark, are you nning to renege?¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled lightly as she leaned on the bamboo and fanned herself lightly. Her gaze was no longer as sharp as it was before. She had regained her image of a daughter from a wealthy family.


    Yuan Xin was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that the future princess would be so devious, he would never have made a bet with her.


    Thinking of the knowing look in Lord Wang¡¯s eyes when they left, where he even said,


    ¡°You guys may not know this, but if Luo Qing Luan did not hold back, even This Lord would have fallen under her hands multiple times. You guys even dared to make a bet with her.¡±, his heart ached even more.


    Yong An was the same. His expression changed as his eyes turned from white to red, back to white. His strange expression was hrious.


    He was the grand guard of the grand price. He thought that there would be a day where someone would ask him to write a pornography book. Such a low ss thing was simply dirtying his hand!


    ¡°Young Miss Luo just can¡¯t help but bully people intolerably. If you want to kill us, then go ahead. If you want us to write these kinds of filthy books, it¡¯s impossible!¡± Yong An said gloomily. He looked as if he would rather die.


    ¡°Who was it before who swore inly that they would admit their loss if they couldn¡¯t handle my attacks? That they would obediently listen to my orders even if they had to risk life and limb?¡± Luo Qing Luan nced at Yong An. She was not angry at all, and was speaking gently, ¡°This Lady has not yet asked you to live or die. I have only asked you to move the brush and write some things to earn some money. Even this is too difficult for you?¡±


    ¡°But...¡±


    ¡°There are no buts. A loss is a loss. Do you admit that you lost to me?¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression was cold as she looked at them.


    Yuan Xin and Yong An were immediately at a loss of words. They turned more and more ashamed. It was a loss, that was for sure, but losing in this way was terrible. It didn¡¯t give them a chance to show even half of their abilities. This was the first time it had ever happened.


    The both of them naturally understood what happened. Because Luo Qing Luan was a girl, they did not know that she would be so powerful. How else would they have fallen for it?


    Seeing that they remained silent, Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve lost, you should listen to my orders obediently. From today onwards, you¡¯re under my banner. If I tell you to do something, you should just do it. I¡¯m just asking you to write a little story to entertain the masses and earn a bit of money. What¡¯s so embarrassing about that? I used to be the one writing all of this before and I¡¯ve just been busytely, so I thought of asking you to help.¡± After hesitating, Yuan Xin grit his teeth and finally found the courage to say, ¡°Young Miss Luo, we lost and if you have any requests, even if it requires us to cross mountains of daggers and seas of me, us two brothers will not falter. However, if you want to lock us in here to write- write theseics, it¡¯s just too... too...¡±


    ¡°We still request for Young Miss to request for something else. We will definitely not reject it. Even if you wanted us to go to the NOrth to kill their king today, we would risk our life and limb for it.¡± Yong An immediately cupped his fists in salute, tone earnest.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t need you to do something so troublesome like killing someone. This Lady just wants to earn money!¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled a smile that didn¡¯t reach her eyes as she looked at them. She smirked, ¡°Up until today, my business has been flourishing and bringing in the money. I can¡¯t waste it.¡± She didn¡¯t continue speaking, but they could tell what she meant, ¡°If you can do it, you should do it. If you can¡¯t do it, you still have to do it!¡±


    Even in other situations where they needed to face danger and risk their lives, Yuan Xin and Yong An did not have as much difficulty. They could swear that having to write these pornography books was too embarrassing. They just couldn¡¯t do it.


    In any case, they had no idea how to write these flowery words! If they didn¡¯t promise... their male dignity... a man¡¯s word was his life. They had already lost to Luo Qing Luan, but did not do what the other party requested. If word went out, it would also be a big hit to their reputation.


    From the beginning to the end, it was a dilemma that they could not figure out. They were really at a loss and simply could not speak anymore.

 Chapter 97B - Subduing the both of them

    <h4>Chapter 97B: Subduing the both of them</h4>


    Sitting perfectly straight with their backs rxed, Yuan Xin and Yong An werepletely silent. Their expressions were also nk as they could only continue to be helplessly held into a deadlock by Luo Qing Luan.


    Time ticked slowly by and the room was silent. Nobody spoke. Luo Qing Luan was clear when she saw their attitude. They were obviously going to renege!


    Smiling lightly, Luo Qing Luan was not surprised at all. If she wanted to do something, there was nothing she couldn¡¯t do. She was thinking harder on how she would capture these two, but they refused toply, causing her to look forward to the day where they would beg her.


    As long as she acted, it would merely take a bit of martial arts for her to force Yuan Xin and Yong An to write that story. They might even draw it!


    ¡°Yuan Xin, you got a serious injury three years ago and almost right, didn¡¯t you?¡± Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan spoke and her voice was light.


    The expressionless Yuan Xin trembled slightly. How did Luo Qing Luan know about it? He thought that his Master had told her before, so he came back to his senses and said, ¡°I did.¡±


    However, he was now already considered half of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s subordinate. As long as it would not endanger Lord Wang, he could still answer a few meaningless things.


    ¡°At that time, your chest was injured. It prated into your inner organs and you were unconscious for a long time and lost a lot of blood, right?¡± Luo Qing Luan added on.


    He was already certain that it was Nn Ye who told her. Although Yuan Xin was curious how she knew it in such detail, he still nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right. Young Miss Luo, what do you want to ask?¡±


    Without replying to him, Luo Qing Luan continued, ¡°To this day, your chest will hurt every month, right? Although it¡¯s not very obvious, it consumes a lot of your inner energy. There will also be residual effects as a result of your injury that you cannot control. This is especially so when the weather is cold and gloomy. Even if nobody acts against you, won¡¯t you feel ufortable?¡±


    ¡°You...¡± Yuan Xin was increasingly surprised and subconsciously said, ¡°How did you know?¡± Although he had a few brothers in the Dark Pce who knew about his injury, Lord wang was the clearest on his fatal weakness, which was that he could not use too much inner energy or elseplications would arise.


    Lord Wang had always helped him to conceal this point and did not let anyone else know. This was in light of the fact that his responsibility was to protect Lord Ye. Having this fatal weakness was dangerous, so he would definitely keep it secret.


    Even if Lord Wang did tell Luo Qing Luan about it, how did she know that his body felt ufortable during bad weather?


    He had never mentioned this to anybody else before. Whenever this happened, he would just endure it. It wasn¡¯t that painful, and most people couldn¡¯t tell. However, why... did Luo Qing Luan know this?


    When she saw Yuan Xin¡¯s stunned expression, Luo Qing Luan knew that she was right. Although she had not paid attention to Yuan Xin¡¯s pulse, this kind ofsting repercussions was already apparent on his face. She could recognise it after looking at him a few times, it wasn¡¯t a big deal.


    Thinking of how powerful her master was as the ghost doctor, he had once gone to the vi of some big shot. Even the patient had no idea, but after seeing a type of flower in his garden, Ghost Doctor Fu immediately knew what sickness that person had as well as his warning signs. After being sick for such a long time, hearing that the other party had it under control came as a huge shock, and he didn¡¯t believe it.


    It was naturally because the body of this big shot rejected this flower. It was a rare situation and her master had picked it out at a nce.


    However, it was evidently because of this that she learnt most of what he knew. Being able to recognise Yuan Xin¡¯s illness was simple.


    She looked around, then looked at Yong An again.


    ¡°Yong An, you have some issues too, right?¡± She said lightly while looking very mysterious. Although he was a little surprised that Luo Qing Luan could tell that his brother had some issues, when she talked about himself, Yong An didn¡¯t believe her, ¡°Sorry, Young Miss Luo, your subordinate is well and does not have any issues.¡± Luo Qing Luan looked up and said, ¡°Since you have no problems, then why has your martial arts stayed stagnant for a year?¡± His expression changed and Yong An was going to respond when Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°Not only os, but don¡¯t you feel sometimes that there are times during your practice that you can¡¯t move as you will? Even your recent bouts during cultivation are at a standstill? Sometimes, your mind is chaotic and there are warning signs that you might identally end up with a qigong deviation?¡±


    Qigong deviation? Initially, he felt like his cultivation was somewhat unfavorable and would get irritated. Now that Yong An heard Luo Qing Luan mention the two words ¡®Qigong deviation¡¯, he finally reacted.


    Nowadays, with his attitude towards cultivation, was it not precisely an omen for a qigong deviation? Although he had not recognised it yet, he was rather upset that he was not improving. How would he have known that it was that serious?


    Yong An and Yuan Xin subconsciously red at each other and saw the shock in each other¡¯s eyes. Initially, they thought that Luo Qing Luan had only won because she had yed them. However, hearing what she just said, they finally saw that she had quite the eye and ability.


    It was Yong An who spoke first, ¡°Lady Luo, you¡¯re telling me this... is it because you have a way to help me solve it?¡± When he said this, he did have a faint bit of hope. If she was really able to cure them, then...


    ¡°I am able to recognise it, so I naturally have a way to solve it.¡± The moment Luo Qing Luan said it, their eyes lit up with glee, then heard her continue, ¡°Of course, if I just say it like this, you may not believe me. Yuan Xin, I should just help you take a look and help you solve it simply, how about it?

 Chapter 98A - Even the Brothers Were Sold

    <h4>Chapter 98A: Even the Brothers Were Sold</h4>


    Being able to knock him down in a single move, Yuan Xin still had a bit of belief in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s abilities. He hesitated for a short moment before he said, ¡°That... If I could have a bit of instruction from Young Miss Luo, whether or not it seeds, your subordinate will still be grateful.¡± Towards this, how much hope did he have? If he really couldn¡¯t be cured, then it wasn¡¯t anything much. However, if there was a bit of sess, wouldn¡¯t he be immensely fortunate?


    This was why he could not help but to be quite a bit more courteous to Luo Qing Luan, even throwing in a few ingratiating remarks. When he finished speaking, he stood up straight and walked to Luo Qing Luan¡¯s side. He looked at her meaningfully as he sat down beside her, and Yong An was beyond himself with surprise.


    It wasn¡¯t only Yuan Xin. Yong An also wondered whether or not Luo Qing Luan was just blustering. If she was really able to cure Yuan Xin, it was possible that she would be able to solve his problem as well.


    ¡°Take off your clothes.¡± Luo Qing Luan was direct and to the point. Yuan Xin¡¯s eyes opened wide. He had just sat down but he stood up again, ¡°I cannot, how would your subordinate dare to be so disrespectful in front of Young Miss Luo!¡± She had to be joking. How would he dare?


    Luo Qing Luan was the future princess and the woman of his master. If he dared show a single modicum of impropriety, his master aside, even he dared not think of it.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression was apathetic, ¡°You¡¯re now a patient and I am your master. I¡¯m asking you to take off your clothes so that I may treat you. Since I don¡¯t mind it, what are you dilly-dallying for?¡±


    ¡°But...¡± When she saw that Yuan Xian was still hesitating, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression turned icy, ¡°I¡¯m treating you because, one, you are one of Nn Ye¡¯s men. Also, the residual effects are getting increasingly serious. If this goes on, you¡¯ll only have ten more years to live at most. If you¡¯re not treated, do you want to die an early death?¡± Yuan Xin¡¯s body shook. He never thought that the issue with his body would be so serious.


    After pondering over it, he finally stopped hesitating. He quickly stripped off his outer robe and faced his naked back to Luo Qing Luan.


    Her eyes didn¡¯t even move before she quickly took out some acupuncture needles from her person. She did not conceal it from Yuan Xin and Yong An anymore.


    She urately ced the acupuncture needles into the acupuncture points. A shortmentter, Yuan Xin¡¯s back was filled with ten needles. He looked simr to a hedgehog.


    As she was finishing the acupuncture, Luo Qing Luan took her time. Nearby, Yong An continued to stare at her movements, but was unable to pick out any anomalies.


    However, with every move she made, even if he couldn¡¯t feel her soft movements, Yuan Xin would sense the sensationsing from his back.


    It was as if a heat flowed from every needle, causing the blood in his medians to flow. Yuan Xin could not help but move, using his inner energy to facilitate the movement, going through all the motions.


    It was only a short moment of time, but he could feel that part of his body, which would usually feel ufortable, was starting to hurt. However, under the heat, the pain slowly melted away, slowly disappearing.


    How mysterious! Yuan Xin could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. He had never seen such an effective acupuncture before.


    ¡°Focus, empty your thoughts.¡± At this moment, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s voice sounded. He hurriedly brought his attention back and Yuan Xin did not dare let his thoughts wander again, focusing wholeheartedly on his meditations, guiding the warm flow to continue treating himself.


    Shortly after, Yuan Xin felt a lot morefortable. His entire body was two times more flexible and his initially suppressed body was a lot lighter. He had no choice but to believe it, he was afraid that Luo Qing Luan would really end up being able to treat his problem.


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll stop here for today.¡± A momentter, Luo Qing Luan retracted her hand and retrieved the needles. Yuan Xin opened his eyes, and he couldn¡¯t hold back the joy he felt, ¡°He immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, cupping his fist towards Luo Qing Lan, ¡°Your subordinate is immensely grateful to Young Miss Luo.¡± Luo Qing Luan said as she cleansed the needles, ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. I have notpletely healed you yet. At the very least, you have to do this ten more times before you will be able to recover fifty percent of your health. Your condition is considered rather old, and you will not be able to heal without three to five months worth of martial arts.¡± She actually needed only three to five months to treat him?


    The moment he heard this, Yuan Xin was even more excited, ¡°Yes, Yes, your subordinate is a lot morefortable now. My initial pain has even disappeared. It seems like there really is hope for me to be healed.¡± After speaking, he was even more emotional as he gave a deep bow, ¡°Your subordinate thanks Young Miss, thank you so much.¡± When he saw how excited Yuan Xian was and how much he had changed, Yong An was even more puzzled, ¡°Yuan Xin, are you really healed?¡± Yuan Xin stood back up and looked at him, nodding seriously, ¡°It¡¯s true. It¡¯s my own body, could I not be able to sense it? Hurry, let Young Miss Luo help you take a look. Your problem isn¡¯t easy either. If it were not because we had the luck to encounter Young Miss Luo, us brothers might have ended up in a cultivation deviation. Hurry!¡± Yong An nodded as he finally said, ¡°Young Miss Luo, Your Subordinate... Is your subordinate...¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t waste words. Come over here.¡± Luo Qing Luan interrupted him directly. He was a little hopeful as Yong An saw that Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t hesitate at all, agreeing to treat him immediately. He immediately walked over and sat down, ¡°Young Miss Luo, do I need to take off my clothes?¡± he asked this very consciously, his hands already ced on his clothes.


    Luo Qing Luan replied instead, ¡°no need, I don¡¯t have to give you acupuncture.¡± A little embarrassed, Yong An hummed in reply. He dared not speak anymore, in any case, whatever Luo Qing Luan let him do, he would do.


    Very quickly, he could feel Luo Qing Luan start to fiddle with his body. It felt like she was massaging him with a blunt device. It massaged him slowly, moving around bit by bit.

 Chapter 98B - Even the Brothers Were Sold

    <h4>Chapter 98B: Even the Brothers Were Sold</h4>


    He was a little dazed, feeling like he might fall asleep any moment. He could not help but shake his head, but he dared not move.


    Gradually, the drowsy feeling he had grew stronger, and he had fallen asleep at some point. Yong An didn¡¯t even know when he had.


    By the time he awoke, he was already lying on a bamboo bed. When he opened his eyes, he heard Yuan Xin saying, ¡°Awake, you¡¯re actually awake.¡± His voice carried excitement and joy, as if he was waiting for him to wake up.


    He sat up nkly. Before Yong An managed to say anything, Yuan Xin asked him, ¡°So how is it? How do you feel? Are you healed?¡± Healed? That quickly?


    This thought barely flitted past when Yong An immediately realised that something was different. His entire body was free, as if he had slept for three whole days and nights. He waspletely rejuvenated andpletely at ease.


    That anxious feeling he always had waspletely gone, as if it had never been there before. His eyesight had gotten even clearer. He could even see that there was a little bird perched on a three more than ten kilometres away from the window. He could even see that bird very clearly, every single pattern on its feathers was clear as day.


    He couldn¡¯t help but suck in a breath. How could Yong An not know the reason for these vast changes in his body?


    ¡°Thank you, Young Miss Luo. Your subordinate is really cured! I¡¯m really cured!¡± Yong An excitedly prostrated himself on the ground, beyond himself with exhration.


    ¡°Why are you so happy?¡± Who would have known that Luo Qing Luan would be as apathetic as before, continuing, ¡°I only gave you one round of treatment, so you¡¯re better for a short period. However, we have to continue the treatment. Your condition is not as serious as Yuan Xin¡¯s, but you still have to go through at least three rounds. Remember that when you are cultivating, you must not advance prematurely. You have to take it slow.¡±


    ¡°Understood, understood.¡± Although his joy had lessened a little, he was still incredibly happy. Entering a cultivation deviation was a big thing. If it happened, he would be crippled at best, and lose his life at the worst.


    He was still so young and had many things he had yet to do. Why would he wish to die? That Luo Qing Luan was able to treat him was an extremely fortunate thing.


    In order to avoid wasting too much energy, Luo Qing Luan had already treated the first stages of their ailments. It was now time to get back to business.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you guys about your problems, and treated what I have to treat.¡± She looked at the both of them and smiled lightly, ¡°Yuan Xin, Yong An, even if I don¡¯t tell you about the problems with your bodies, you should know well. I won¡¯t collect a fee for treating you, but you still have topensate me. I, thisdy, never does things I¡¯ll lose out on, got it?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°I just have one request, which is for you to stay behind and help me write this racy novel. You cane up with your own story, of course, the fresher it is the better. If you do not know how, go and buy a few novels from the past and read them and lead. If you still don¡¯t know, you can ask me. Of course, if you don¡¯t want to do it, you can leave. I won¡¯t force you.¡±


    ¡°This...¡± Yong An and Yuan Xin exchanged nces, not knowing whether tough or cry. They had just gotten some benefits from Luo Qing Luan, and she had immediately put out her request. It was even such a difficult one.


    However, they had in and simply obtained the benefits, and were no longer able toin against Luo Qing Luan.


    Even they knew that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s request wasn¡¯t actually too exaggerated. It was just writing ¡®those kinds¡¯ of novels. Compared to their lives, it really wasn¡¯t too much.


    If they shamelessly left, it was reneging on a deal. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t do it. With a bitter smile, they helplessly nodded, ¡°That... We¡¯ll try. If Young Miss Luo isn¡¯t satisfied, please give us some pointers.¡± It could be counted as eding to her request, and she had finally bought those two over. With a satisfied smile, she said, ¡°Alright then, since you¡¯ve agreed, then hurry it up. You guys shouldn¡¯t feel shy either. Who knows, you might even be addicted to it. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you guys your share of the profits. You won¡¯t do it for nothing.¡± The two males blushed. With Luo Qing Luan, a female, as well as their future princess, they just could not bring themselves to talk about this topic.


    ¡°Right, just the two of you may not be enough. Do you know anyone who is an expert at this topic?¡± Luo Qing Luan asked.


    Their eyes shone as Yong An immediately answered, ¡°Young Miss Luo, your subordinate knows. The Lord has a subordinate known as Zhang Chang. He has three wives, and often


    unts them off. If you ask him to write a novel, he should have the skill.


    ¡°Right, right!¡± Yuan Xin hurriedly agreed, ¡°Your subordinate knows a few of them, they are in the same team as me. One is called Yuan Bin, another called Gui San. There is also another one called Yao Liu Zi. The three of them are in charge of finding out information rted to the brothel, and often boast about how pretty the girls are. Young Miss Luo, you should hurry and get the three of them here and get them to write.¡± A few sentencester, these two had already sold out their brothers.


    Not so! They were the personal bodyguards of their Lord, and they had now fallen to write pornography for the future princess. If the other brothers knew, they would definitely mock them.


    They would drag a few of them down with them and see whether or not they would dare to continueughing. Otherwise, they would just speak a few more words in front of their Young Miss Luo, and those guys would enjoy the consequences.


    Chuckling, Yuan Xin and Yong An gleefully exchanged nces, knowing what the other was thinking. Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t care what they were thinking, and just wanted some suitable people, ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll look for Nn Ye and ask him for those people tomorrow.¡± It was important for her to make money, and couldn¡¯t lose out on it. She would be getting married in around ten days, so she had to hurry up and make her preparations. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be enough time.

 Chapter 99A - Advise

    <h4>Chapter 99A: Advise</h4>


    As Luo Qing Luan was busy making her grand ns and hiring her borers¡¯, her wedding date, the twenty sixth day of the lunar year wasing close.


    Luo Cheng was increasingly aware of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s importance. Especially after Jiang Yu kept talking to him. He was also aware that he had paid too little attention to Luo Qing Luan, and began to regret. In the past where Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang did those things, he had no idea. He had not minded it at all.


    Because his beloved wife had passed away, Luo Cheng had taken it out of Luo Qing Luan for more than ten years. He was only now that he knew that it was all because of his concubine, Wang Xue Ru. His heart had changed, and now looked at people different. His daughter, Qing Shuang, who had married out, seemed like she never came back to the residence. Much less was to be said about filial piety towards him. Although Luo Cheng never mentioned it, he minded it greatly.


    His second daughter, Luo Qing Luan, was actually getting better. Not only did the prince ask for her hand in marriage, she had even helped him get three concubines. Every time he was with Jiang Yu, Zhang and the others and felt like they were gentle and smart, he would inadvertently think of treating Luo Qing Luan better.


    However, what gave him a headache was that Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t seem to be close to him.


    He couldn¡¯t find faults with her respect towards him or her filial piety, but Luo Qing Luan rarely spoke to him. She would leave after finishing business, and less could be said about her smile. Luo Cheng also remembered how he had treated her quite poorly in the past, and how it was fair that she would be dissatisfied with him. He had thought of changing and sending her quite a few gifts. He had even refurbished her home, but Luo Qing Luan was neither hot nor cold towards him.


    When the madame of the Luo family came back from the temple in Country Pu, Luo Cheng shared the situation with her.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to speak a few words to Luo Qing Luan. Your son is truly out of options.¡± Luo Cheng said, crestfallen.


    Madam Luo sat on the yellow rosewood rose chair, ncing at Luo Cheng as heined, ¡°So you¡¯re aware now? I told you long before that Wang Shi is harsh to others. Qing Shuang, who was perfectly fine, was ruined by them. You just refused to listen to me. Now you know that your second daughter is good? But she no longer feels close to you. How big of a failure of a father are you?¡±


    She would have to go cleanse herself periodically, and Madame Luo was dressed cleanly. She was in a dark cyan garb and on her head was a silver hairpin stuck into her hair. Aside from a jasper bracelet handing on her wrist, she was not adorned with anything else. She was already an old person, hair filled with white and face covered with wrinkles, but in her eyes was a gentleness that would cause others to see her tenderly and helplessly.


    If it was not because she had seen how much Luo Cheng did not care about Wang Xue Ru bullying Luo Qing Luan year after year, Madame Luo would not have hidden herself in the temple. This time, once she knew that her second granddaughter, who had always been bullied, was marrying the first prince and that even Luo Cheng had changed his attitude towards her, Madame Luo was extremely gratified.


    ¡°Mother, I know that I¡¯ve neglected Qing Luo in the past, which is why I want to make up for it now. But Luo Qing Luan has never epted any of the items that I¡¯ve sent to her.¡±


    He pointed at some folds of cloth on the table, along with some nourishing beauty products that some girls fancied and Luo Cheng sighed, ¡°I, your son, really tried my best. I hoped that she wouldn¡¯t hold a grudge. It¡¯s just nice that Mother, you¡¯re back today. You used to be rather good to Luo Qing Luan and she¡¯ll definitely listen to you. Mother, help me say a few words to her. She¡¯s going to be married off woon. If others happen to notice something, I¡¯m afraid...¡±


    ¡°So you finally know the urgency?¡±


    Madam Luo¡¯s expression was dark, but she loosened up shortly after, saying gently, ¡°On ount of your wife who passed away, I¡¯ll help you say a few words. Whether or not Luo Qnig Luan, that kid, listens to this grandmother of hers, I do not know.


    Luo Cheng smiled and saw Madame Luo moving to stand, so he hurriedly went to support her, ¡°Mother, go slowly. As long as you do something, it will definitely be fine. Qing Luan has liked you the most since she was young. If you speak, she will definitely listen.¡±


    ¡°Sigh, if it were not because her mother passed on early, how would things be this way...¡± Madame Luo shook her head, somewhat rueful.


    Luo Cheng¡¯s heart skipped a beat and hurriedly changed the topic. He inwardly celebrated the fact that he already suspected


    In any case, he no longer went to the Yn courtyard anymore. Wang Shi... he could do as he pleased.


    ......


    From far away, Madame Luo heard noisy soundsing from in front of her. It wasing from Yn¡¯s courtyard.


    With a frown, she naturally guessed that Wang Shi was unhappy again and taking it out on her servants by punishing them. Only then would it cause such chaos. She had never liked her. Although Wang Shi was respectful in front of her, she would secretly oppose her and never respected her. Otherwise, why would she have been so angered as to leave?


    When she saw that her son, Luo Cheng, no longer took the advice of Wang Shi, Mamade Luo was even happier as she went on her way. Ignoring it and finding his pious heart once again, she made a wish to buddha before hurriedly said a few chants of ¡°amitabha, I¡¯ve sinned, I¡¯ve sinned¡±, before heaving a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll head to Second Young Miss¡¯ courtyard.¡± She said.


    ¡°Yes, Madame.¡± The servant girls said respectful as she held the gifts in their hands.

 Chapter 99B - Advise

    <h4>Chapter 99B: Advise</h4>


    Concentrated on her task, Madam Luo turned a few corners before ending up at Luo Qing Luan¡¯s little courtyard.


    The moment she entered the courtyard door, she felt the difference. The courtyard was brand new, and the flowers and nts were taken care of diligently. The corners of the house were clean,nterns along the corridors and there were even some dark green bamboos growing in the garden. There was a deep feeling of tranquility.


    Nodding her head with satisfaction, she turned her head to see a servant girle out from the living room. In her hand was a bowl of peeled fruits.


    ¡°Ah... Madame?¡± Dai Yue was shocked. Before she could react, she saw two people standing in front before she finally realised that the madame had just returned from Country Pu, back from the temple.


    Without thinking too much, she turned around and shouted into the house, ¡°Young Miss, Young Miss, The Madame is here to see you.¡± Because she turned too quickly, the dish she held in her hand almost ttered to the floor. However, she didn¡¯t seem to notice at all as she already ran out, as if shepletely didn¡¯t care for Madame Luo, who was left behind.


    ¡°This servane...¡± Madame Luo shook her head helplessly as she said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s been so long since we met, but she¡¯s still that impatient.¡±


    The servant behind said, ¡°Madame, it is also because you do not find it strange. If the old mistress saw this, I¡¯m afraid that even our second Young miss would be reprimanded.¡±


    Madame Luo¡¯s expresion changed. Before she spoke, she heard the voice of a youngdy, ¡°Grandmother is back?¡± She saw Luo Qing Luan dressed in a long white skirt, walking out with a big smile on her face. She only felt like it was a long time since she had seen this familiar expression. It felt as if she was looking at her dead daughter-inw, and was stunned for a moment.


    Although she looked like a youngdy, her face looked seventy to eighty percent like her mother¡¯s. Based on Madame Luo¡¯s impression, her second granddaughter, Luo Qing Luo, had always had on very exaggerated makeup, so although her face wasn¡¯t bad, it was covered up by powder. After not seeing her for half a year, she had changed beyond recognition and she was somewhat unable toe back to her senses


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Grandmother? I¡¯m Qing Luan.¡± Luo Qing Luan pulled on Madame¡¯s hand, saying a little puzzledly.


    Towards this grandmother, her original body had seen her once before. She waspletely unfamiliar with her, but with a nce, she could feel the past care and helplessness that Madame Luo once had towards Luo Qing Luan. Positive emotions came from who knows where, and she smiled unknowingly, saying, ¡°Grandmother, hurry ande in. If you have anything to say,you can slowly talk once we¡¯re sitting inside. Dai Yue, pour some tea for Grandmother. Remember the cosmos tea that the empress had gifted to us before? That one sounds good.¡±


    She had heard that Luo Qing Luan was different than she was before. She was natural, unrestrained, neat and lovely. Her bright eyes and white teeth were pleasing to look at, and it was no wonder His Majesty had betrothed her to the first prince. The worries she hadst time were finally settled down, and Madame Luo felt like tearing up. She couldn¡¯t help her eyes from turning red.


    After bantering for more than half a day and trying to persuade her, Luo Qing Luan could be considered to have deceived this olddy who had cried just upon seeing her. However, she could sense that Old Lady Luo was rather sincere towards her, so she did feel a little closer to her.


    ¡°Grandmother, are you helping Father deliver these items to me?¡± When she heard about her purpose, she understood immediately.


    ¡°Qing Luan, your grandmother knows as well that your father has not cared enough for you in the past. He has done many things to hurt you.¡± Madame Luo said earnestly, ¡°But he is still your father and knows now that he has done wrong. Since he is willing to take the initiative to make up with you, will you not forgive him? For the sake of your mother who is no longer here.¡±


    Madame Luo long-windedly told her stories about the past, about how Luo Cheng had once treated Luo Qing Luan¡¯s mother well. This was why he had taken a huge blow then her mother passed away. His anger was understandable. Since they were father and daughter, there was no need to hold grudges and to let bygones be bygones. Anyway, she was going to get married. It would not be so easy for her to meet Luo cheng anymore.


    ¡°Grandmother, you are just that kind. You have never med anybody.¡± Luo Qing Luan said gently. She did not agree, neither did she disagree.


    Luo Cheng was her birth father, but he was muddled-headed and doted upon Wang Xue Ru, who had even killed the original owner of this body. If Madame Luo had known about this, she might be worried to death. However, since she hade over her in her old age to request this, she wanted to show her some respect.


    ¡°I got it. Grandmother, you can rx. I don¡¯t me Father, I¡¯ve just been too busy for himtely and haven¡¯t been able to use the items. It would be such a waste for me to keep it. Since Father has had a change of heart and Grandmother, you have evene to deliver these items personally, your granddaughter will just ept the items.¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled gently.


    ¡°You no longer me your father?¡± Madame Luo called out happily.


    Luo Qing Luan replied seriously, ¡°Grandmother, you have said to let things go, so how could I me Father? Grandmother, rx. I know what to do in the future. As long as Father treats me well, I will naturally be filial. Even if I marry out, I will return home often.¡±


    Madam Luo¡¯s heart finally rxed as she nodded, ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good.¡± All will prosper if the family is in harmony. She just wanted things to be peaceful. She hoped there wouldn¡¯t be any more issues arising in the future.


    As for Luo Qing Luan, she just wanted to punish Luo Cheng. She had already cleaned up Wang Xue Ru, so it didn¡¯t matter whether or not she forgave Lu Cheng. She would just give the olddy some respect and smile a little more when she saw Luo Cheng. In any case, she was going to get married and move out.

 Chapter 100A - Getting Personally Involved

    <h4>Chapter 100A: Getting Personally Involved</h4>


    Ever since Madame Luo returned, Wang Xue Ru, who was already used to pouting all day long, was in a rage.


    She knew why Madame Luo hade back from Country Pu, which was because Luo Qing Luan was getting married. However, thest time her daughter, Qing Shuang, had gotten married to the Fifth Prince, Granny had known all the same, but only let someone send back a word of congrattions. This time, however, she rushed back because of Luo Qing Luan. It was obvious that there was preferential treatment.


    ¡°Lady Ce, Granny is too biased! They¡¯re all her granddaughters, but the biasedness is too great.¡± The servant girl, Du Juan muttered in a small voice. Out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed at Wang Xue Ru¡¯s expression.


    Wang Xue Ru¡¯s hand was clenched into a fist as she grit her teeth and said, ¡°This undying olddy. She¡¯s just cruel.¡±


    Back then when Qing Shuang was born, she was clearly the oldest granddaughter, but Madame Luo didn¡¯t particrly like her. She just nced at her, sent her a silver bracelet and didn¡¯te a single time before the first month¡¯s celebration. Did she really have to favour that ugly and stupid lowly young brat, Luo Qing Luan? They had messed with her so badly, making her look ugly, but that undying olddy liked her all the same.


    Du Juan replied once again, ¡°Lady Ce, you should go and pay Granny a visit. Coax her a little, get Granny to advise Master to pay you a visit. Now, Master spends all day with Jiand Yu. He even has Zhang Shi and Du Zhi eyeing on him. It has been a long time since Master has paid our Yi Lan courtyard a visit.¡±


    Her tone was sour, and her face had also scrunched up. She looked at a loss as she watched Wang Xue Ru fuming.


    ¡°Shut up! You want me to beg that old fart? Pah! I¡¯d rather die than beg her! Wang Xue Ru was enraged as she cried out.


    ¡°Lady Ce, please stay your anger. Your servant has spoken in error.¡± Du Juan knelt down immediately.


    Without the mood to pay Du Juan any notice, Wang Xue Ru grit her teeth in hatred. The Last time, she had gotten Zi Yu to look for someone to taint Luo Qing Luan¡¯s innocence. Zi Yu had clearly said that she had already set everything up, but when she led Luo Cheng over to catch the couple in the act, they actually met the first prince, Nn Ye, by ident. The n had failed. Not only did she beat Zi Yu to death, she had even been implicated and scolded by Luo Cheng. Thinking of how Luo Qing Luan was going to marry Nn Ye without any hups, and thinking of using her daughter, Luo Qing Shuang, as a footstool, Wang Xue Ru couldn¡¯t help but want to kill that ugly brat.


    ¡°Time is running out, running out...¡±


    ¡°What should I do? I have to think of something. How can I let her marry Lord Chu?¡±


    Wang Xue Ru kept muttering to herself, her appearance was like the devil, and her whole face was crazed. In a few more days, the wedding day woulde.


    Luo Qing Luan had already guessed that she was the one who had killed her mother. If she had the identity of a princess, she would definitely take revenge against her. How could she continue to upy the position she did now?


    It was at this moment that a servant came running in, saying with urgency, ¡°Lady Ce, Lady Ce, the Lord wants you to rush to the guest house. Lord Chu ising.¡±


    ¡°What? Lord Chu ising?¡± Wang Xue Ru was shocoked out of her wits.


    The servant hurried replied, ¡°Yes, Lord Chu has personallye to discuss the final wedding arrangements with Master. He has even brought Second Young Miss many gifts. I have heard that it is His majesty and the empress who have bestowed it upon her. Master is afraid of beingte to meet them, so he has asked for Lady Ce to receive them.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru waspletely stunned.


    She had just thought of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s marriage to the prince and was afraid that she would gain influence when Lord Chu personally came.


    Lord Chu had always been a distant and cold person. Nobody had ever seen him treat a woman with such sincerity. Who would have thought that, after he had been in Luo Qing Luan¡¯s bed chamberste at night, it would progress so quickly? Could it be that that night, they had already...


    Wang Xue Ru could not help but make her guesses, and was already unable to stop her own headcanons.


    That night, she had gotten someone to check them out secretly. They heard that, on the morning of the second day, they didn¡¯t see Luo Qing Luan and Lord Chu appearing together. It was as if they¡¯d left early on. Furthermore, they didn¡¯t find Luo Qing Luan washing her bed sheets or anything like that. It seemed like they didn¡¯t do anything and she was still pure. However, Lord Chu had fallen more and more in love with her. If she really let Luo Qing Luan get married, would she be able to keep her life?


    ¡°This won¡¯t do, this won¡¯t do... I definitely can¡¯t let her get married.¡±


    Wang Xue Ru had already gone a little crazy, as she grabbed at Du Juan, who was kneeling down in front of her, ¡°Tell me, tell me. How do we stop Luo Qing Luan from marrying Lord Chu? How do we stop him from marrying her? Tell me!¡±


    She had been shaken so hard by Wang Xue Ru that she had gone dizzy. Her arms were gripped so hard that they hurt, but Du Juan dared not struggle. She stared with wide eyes, blurting out, ¡°Lady Ce, if the Second Young Miss was not pure, Lord Chu would not marry her!¡±


    Not pure? How could Wang Xue Ru not have thought of this? But they already failed thest time!


    ¡°Tell me, what should we do? Tell me!¡± Her mind was in aplete mess as Wang Xue Ru said menacingly, ¡°How do we strip her of her innocence?¡±


    She was so scared by Wang Xue Ru that she almost fainted, but Du Juan was deathly afraid that, if she fainted, she would be beaten to death by Wang Xue Ru. She desperately thought of an answer as she stammered, ¡°That- that- just... use drugs! Drug the second young miss, then look for someone... just casually find a male...¡±


    Her eyes shone, and Wang Xue Ru froze.

 Chapter 100B - Getting Personally Involved

    <h4>Chapter 100B: Getting Personally Involved</h4>


    That¡¯s right. A woman¡¯s purity was of utmost importance. They failed thest time, but that didn¡¯t mean that they would fail again. This time, he would get personally involved. However, he would have to find a man toe, as well as drug Luo Qing Luan before having to catch her in the act. Only then would it have a hundred percent chance of sess!


    She didn¡¯t believe that Luo Qing Luan would still be able to hide!


    ......


    There were only five more days to the wedding, and the entire of the general¡¯s residence was bustling. Luo Cheng was worried all day about the wedding, and would alwayse over personally to ask how things were. Madame Luo was even more pleased as she smiled non stop. She was the epitome of happiness, and the entire ce was decorated withnterns.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s little courtyard was simrly decorated in red. She had been rather peacefultely as well. If not for the fact that she had just obtained Yuan Xin and Yong An, her two helpers to take over her work, and that they had gotten Nn Ye to get a few more helpers, she would have been unwilling to waste precious time like this.


    However, right now, she was able to rest properly and wait to get married.


    ¡°Young Miss, you are about to get married to the prince¡¯s residence. Aren¡¯t you happy?¡± Dai yue sat by the stool beside her with her little hands supporting her chin. She smiled goofily as she said, ¡°Lord Chu sent many gifts over that day. We¡¯re able to rx knowing that he treats you so well.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re happy as well?¡± Luo Qing Luan intentionally stared at her weirdly, teasing, ¡°Is it because you want to be the servant girl who apanies me over to the Chu residence? Is that why you¡¯re happy?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m happy. Being able to apany Young Miss in leaving, which servant girl wouldn¡¯t be?¡± Dai Yue didn¡¯t understand in the least, smiling as she nodded her head honestly.


    Smirking, Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°Dai Yue, do you know what it¡¯s like to be a servant girl who follows the bride along? Do you know what you have to do when we head over?¡±


    Dai Yue furrowed her eyebrows, ¡°That... it should be the same as here in the general¡¯s residence? Wouldn¡¯t I still serve you, Young Miss?¡±


    She knew that this clumsy girl wouldn¡¯t get it. Luo Qing Luan hooked her finger and beckoned her closer. When Dai Yue had rushed over, she said a few sentences into her ear before Dai Yue cried out. Her face was red as she waved her hands in a fluster, ¡°Young Miss, Young Miss, this servant doesn¡¯t do that. This servant doesn¡¯t want to apany the prince... he... he... this servant doesn¡¯t want...¡±


    Seeing that Dai Yue was so flustered that she couldn¡¯t evenplete her sentence, Luo Qing Luan burst outughing, ¡°Just look at you. You¡¯re so afraid. I was messing with you!¡±


    Hesitating, Dai Yue asked carefully, ¡°Really?¡±


    Just now, what the Young Miss had told her that sent her into such a bashful state, was that the apanying servant girl would not only have to wait upon the Young Miss, she would also have to wait upon her husband. Especially when it was not convenient for her to apany the Lord to do that... the moment she thought of what might happen, she wanted to faint the moment she heard it.


    However, she had apanied the Young Miss since she was young. She would go wherever Young Miss went. How could something as difficult as this happen?


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop messing with you.¡± She saw that Dai Yue was so afraid that her face alternated between white and red. Luo Qing Luan regained her original appearance as well and said lightly, ¡°Rx, I am merely marrying into the Chu residence for show. After all, I could not reject it, right? At that time, we will live life like we have in the General¡¯s residence. We¡¯ll do whatever we want, nobody will rule over us. Just rx.¡±


    She had long since agreed on the basic rules with Nn Ye. She would give him the due respect when they were in front of many, pretend to be in love and all that, but in private, she was still herself, but because she was marrying over, she had to cover herself in fetters. Did they actually want her to be a real wife for Nn Ye? Heh, dream on.


    ¡°Second Young Miss...¡±


    Master and servant sat together cracking jokes when a voice was heard from far away. A servant girl carrying a small box of food, walking over. When she saw Luo Qing Luan, she smiled, ¡°Second Young Miss, this servant girl is Chun Yan. Madame Luo has sent me over with bird¡¯s nest soup.¡±


    After saying this, she opened the lid and took out a blue and white porcin bowl, cing it down in front of Luo Qing Luan. She even took out a small bowl anddle.


    Luo Qing Luan smiled, ¡°What, did Grandmother cook some bird¡¯s nest soup in the kitchen today?¡±


    Chun Yan smiled, ¡°Yes, the madame thought about how Second Young Miss was going to get married and would not be able to see you again, so she was concerned for Second Young Miss. It¡¯s cold, so Second Young Miss, you should drink it while it¡¯s hot. This Servant Girl has to return to the madame to report to her. I will take my leave first.¡±


    ¡°Big Sis, I¡¯ll send you out.¡± Dai Yue immediately hopped up and followed Chun Yan out.


    She looked at the Bird¡¯s Nest soup in front of her and Luo Qing Luan was immediately reminded of Madame Luo. Her heart filled with warmth.


    She had only been back for a few days, but Grandmother had always called her over to chat. It was as if she would never be able to see her again after she got married. Although she had not known the Madame for a long time, her impression of her was getting better and better. She could sense that Madame Luo really liked her. She had also liked her mother, who had already passed. Whenever they mentioned her mother, she could sense that Madame Luo was truly broken-hearted.


    Lifting the bowl, Luo Qing Luan gave a light smile. She might as well try a little of it. However, the moment she opened the lid, her expression changed.


    This bowl of bird¡¯s nest soup had an additional ingredient that shouldn¡¯t be inside!


    It was clearly sent over by one of Madame Luo¡¯s people, so how could it be like that? Luo Qing Luan rejected the notion immediately. That was impossible.


    In the entire residence, the one who hated the most was Wang Xue Ru. It was also only Wang Xue Ru who would attack her. Again and again!


    Luo Qing Luan suddenly recalled something as she slowly walked to the window and looked outside. She searched for a moment before seeing a silhouette hidden within a cluster of dense bamboo behind the flowerbed. It seemed to be someone watching her. Furthermore... that person was Wang Xue Ru!


    She actually got personally involved?!

 Chapter 101A - Getting Married

    <h4>Chapter 101A: Getting Married</h4>


    When she saw Wang Xue Ru sneaking around and appearing in the outer court, Luo Qing Luan smiled knowingly.


    She sent someone to pretend to send a bowl of Bird¡¯s Nest soup over from Madame Luo, she guessed that it was another one of her ns. She was just afraid that Wang Xue Ru had prepared for it long ago, and would act the moment she fell for it? It was a pity that Wang Xue Ru had actually been silly enough to use a drug. It was simply useless against her. If she didn¡¯t seize the opportunity this time to let Wang Xue Ru know the consequences of acting against her, she would really waste her opponent¡¯s efforts.


    ¡°Dai Yue.¡± Luo Qing Luan raised her voice and shouted.


    ¡°I¡¯ming, what¡¯s wrong, Young Miss?¡± Dai Yue, who had sent Chun Yan off, came running back. She didn¡¯t seem to have sensed any differences at all.


    ¡°Go and call Yong An and Yuan Xin over. Tell them that I require something from them. Do it now.¡± Luo Qing Luan said.


    When Dai Yue left, Luo Qing Luan intentionally held the bowl of bird¡¯s nest soup and walked to the door. She acted as if she was anxious, picking the soupdle up and cing it down repeatedly. Wanting to drink it and yet, not wanting to drink it at the same time. She intentionally wanted to act this way for Wang Xue Ru to avoid her from sensing something out of ce and running away. At that time, she would have to waste more effort.


    The silhouette continued to hide behind the cluster of bamboo in a ce not too far away and did not leave. Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but to purse her lips. It seemed like Wang Xue Ru really refused to give up. In that case, she would let her suffer the consequence of her own actions.


    A short momentter, Yong An and Yuan Xin, who were not far away to begin with, finally arrived. Luo Qing Luan got Dai Yue to head down before turning to the both of them, ¡°There¡¯s something happening. I need you to help me act immediately.¡±


    They were initially wrecking their brains to think of content for the novel when Yong An and Yuan Xin were suddenly called over. Although they didn¡¯t understand what was going on, the both of them had alreadypletely changed their perspective of her as they cupped their hands and said, ¡°What instructions does Young Miss Luo have for us?¡±


    She ced the bird¡¯s nest soup on the table as she smiled lightly, ¡°Give this a whiff. What do you smell in here?¡±


    A little confused, they exchanged nces with each other. However, it was still Luo Qing Luan¡¯s orders, so they stepped forward to give it a whiff.


    ¡°Young Miss Luo, in this soup, there¡¯s...¡± Yong An and Yuan Xin¡¯s expressions changed. After following Nn Ye for so many years, they had gone through many tests. How could they not tell that, inside this soup, was a soup that would stir up a person¡¯s lust? This kind of despicable thing, if not for those kinds of dirty acts, perhaps only prostitutes, gangsters or rapists would use this. Most people absolutely deplored these kinds of things.


    However, how did this kind of thing appear in the general¡¯s residence? Or was it that their future princess had specifically got it to show it to them?


    Luo Qing Luan took note of their expressions as they said lightly, ¡°Someone sent this soup over for me to drink. What do you guys think about it?¡±


    ¡°Impudent...¡±


    Yuan Xin had just started to shout when a single look from Luo Qing Luan shut him up. ¡°Lower your volume. The one who just sent me this soup is still watching from nearby, waiting to act once I¡¯ve finished eating this. If you speak so loudly, what will we do if they run away in fear.¡±


    Yong An was so angry that he grit his teeth and said in a low voice, ¡°Rx, Young Miss Luo, we will definitely not let that person off. What are your orders? Tell us.¡± Dare to do this kind of thing against their future princess? It was tantamount to stabbing their Lord in the back! Were they tired of leaving? There was no way they would let the person of. No matter who it was!


    She got them toe over because she wanted to use the opportunity to catch Wang Xue Ru. Luo Qing Luan had long since thought about it and said, ¡°The one who wants to hurt me is my Father¡¯s Concubine. She¡¯s standing not far from the window. Yuan Xin, go ahead and catch her. Don¡¯t let her scream. Then, take her back to the Yi Lan courtyard and wait for me there. Yong An, scout the area. We¡¯ll see what kind of male Wang Xue Ru has prepared for me. We¡¯ll send him over to Yi Lan courtyard as well.


    The moment that they heard what Luo Qing Luan wanted to do, their eyes shone, ¡°Yes, Young Miss Luo.¡± The moment they spoke, they were like the wind. One dashed out the door while the other hopped out the window. Luo Qing Luan merely saw the sh of a silhouette before Wang Xue Ru¡¯s voice was heard, ¡°You... You are...¡±


    Before she finished speaking, she wentpletely stiff. Yuan Xin had already hit her acupoint and they disappeared from view.


    Luo Qing Luan finally smiled, ¡°Such quick movements. They really aren¡¯t bad.¡±


    Since they had obtained the person in question, it was time for her to go over. She poured the bird¡¯s nest soup back into the main container before taking it out of the courtyard. She wanted to head over to Yi Lan courtyard to let Wang Xue Ru have a good time.


    ......


    She was ced down, but Wang Xue Ru was still unable to speak. She looked at the male before her in terror and could not stop shaking her head. However, she couldn¡¯t say a single word.


    How could it be like this? How did this person appear from Luo Qing Luan¡¯s room? Her ns were perfectly crafted, how could she have been discovered? She saw the man in front of her radiating a murderous aura. Wang Xue Ruy bedraggled on the ground, uncertain as to what her future would be.


    However, at this moment, another male arrived. He also carried another person over and tossed the person beside her when he entered.


    ¡°Damn it, this brat still tried to escape and even hit me a few times.¡± Yong An chuckled and pped his hands.


    ¡°These are the two scoundrels that dared plot against our future princess. Ha ha, I can¡¯t help but want to cut you in half.¡± As he spoke, Yuan Xin¡¯s expression was malicious and he stepped maliciously on the male on the floor. It was so painful that he curled up, resembling a fried prawn.


    Wang Xue Ru saw everything clearly. She was deathly afraid that she would be treated in this way. However, her acupoint has been hit and, aside from making a few weak sounds, she couldn¡¯t say a single word. It was at this moment that the sound of familiar footsteps were heard. It was followed by a familiar voice, ¡°Father¡¯s Concubine, can you guess what I am about to do?¡±

 Chapter 101B - Getting Married

    <h4>Chapter 101B: Getting Married</h4>


    Yong An moved and immediately unlocked Wang Xue Ru¡¯s upoint. She only felt her body going limp. However, she was even more afraid as she frantically crawled backwards, ¡°You... what are you going to do? Qing... Qing Luan... I am your Father¡¯s Concubine. You shouldn¡¯t... shouldn¡¯t go too far...¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you guess what I¡¯m about to do. It¡¯s not up to you to decide if I¡¯m going too far or not.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan lightly shook the soup pot in her hand and waved it in front of Wang Xue Ru. She smiled an innocent smile and said warmly, ¡°Maternal Aunt, I¡¯ve never thought of using this kind of method against you. Even if I couldn¡¯t bear to kill you, I never thought of using this method to deal with you. However, you¡¯ve already stepped over my bottom line again and again. Therefore... I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t... Don¡¯t, Qing Luan!¡±


    The moment she thought of what could happen to her, Wang Xue Ru turned to the unmoving male beside her and looked at him in terror. She was so afraid that she hopped up, wanting to escape. However, where could she run? Before she managed to take a single step, Yong An moved lightly and she fell heavily to the ground, crying out in pain.


    ¡°Maternal Aunt, don¡¯t think of escaping. Everyone in the residence is busy, and nobody wille to your little courtyard.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan ced the soup pot on the table, saying with an expressionless face, ¡°I will only tell you this. You murdered my mother fifteen years ago, and you¡¯ve been abusing me and plotting against me all these years. You¡¯ve even killed my wet nurse. This grudge, I will now repay in full. However, you should be d. After all, I have yet to find the evidence. That is why I am just repaying you tooth for tooth. As to how you want to exin this to my fatherter on, you can think about it slowly.


    Then, she said coldly, ¡°Yuan Xin, release this man¡¯s pressure points. Feed them the soup.¡± After speaking, she turned around to leave.


    ¡°Don¡¯t, Qing Luan. Don¡¯t! I was wrong, I was really wrong! Let me off... mmf mff... I won¡¯t eat it...¡± Wang Xue Ru cried out, but she could not hold on any longer. Her mouth was pried open as she was fed the entire bowl of bird¡¯s nest soup.


    She had always eaten things like this before, but she now felt like it was so disgusting that she wanted to puke. Wang Xue Ru wanted to stick her fingers down her throat, but she just couldn¡¯t vomit. In a short moment, she could feel a peculiar sensationing from within as her body felt like it was burning.


    Watching the unscrupulous male and female pairing together because they could control it no longer, they called out as they stripped the clothes off each other. Yuan Xin and Yong An didn¡¯t have an ounce of emotion as she watched. From their perspectives, Luo Qing Luan had been too kind in her actions. If it were left to them, they would have cut them up slowly without letting them die. That was how they would be able to clearly show the power of their dark pce.


    A short momentter, the two snow white bodies were tangled together as they released various disgusting cries. The two of them tarried no longer as they closed the doors and left, leaving behind the two who continued to do their indescribable activity.


    There was no need to borate further on what happened. Once Luo Cheng was led there by subordinates who found out what was happening, he saw the terrible scene with his own eyes. He was angered to the point that he almost fainted. However, the situation did not spread within the general¡¯s residence. Aside from the two trusted aides who hade along with him, it was as if what happened between Wang Xue Ru and the unknown male never happened.


    It was just that, the night before Luo Qing Luan was married, a tiny sedan chair left the side door of the general¡¯s residence before it headed towards the fifth prince¡¯s residence. From that moment on, Wang Xue Ru never appeared again in the general¡¯s residence.


    It was currently the twenty-sixth of the month, and the entire capital was bustling with activity. The brilliant and famous ice prince Nn Ye was going to marry the second young miss of the general¡¯s residence.


    The people gathered as the gongs and cymbals shook the sky. Countless carriages pulled by horses stopped by the streets outside the Prince Chu¡¯s residence and they were packed like sardines. Coming to pick up the bride, it mattered not what their status was or what positions they held, but they all came to offer their congrattions. There were also countless young women who had their hearts broken and were crying. Amongst those who cried the hardest, was definitely Third princess Nangong Wan Er . It was a pity that for a celebratory day such as this, even the one who loved to pamper her the most, The Emperor of the Western Chu country, did not put in that much effort tofort her. Instead, he personally led the Empress over to Prince Chu¡¯s residence.


    As for the one who was in the lobby, her reaction was theplete opposite. Luo Qing Luan, who was in her chambers, wasbing her hair and had changed into her bridal clothes. However, she did not look happy at all. Instead, she frowned as if she was wasting her time, and was staring in the mirror in a daze.


    A waste of time, so noisy. So it was that marrying was so pointless!


    Luo Qing Luan got more irritated. Ever since she woke up in the morning, she only had a bowl of congee and had not eaten anything else. Her empty stomach was growling. However, Dai Yue said that she was a new bride today and could not eat whatever she wanted. If she made a mistake in the sedan, she would embarrass herself.


    However, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. If she didn¡¯t eat, she would faint...


    ¡°Dai Yue, go to the kitchen and make some snacks for me. I, your young miss, am about to starve to death.¡± Luo Qing Luan frowned.


    ¡°Young Miss, the Master and Madam have specially given instructions to say that today...¡±


    Dai Yue continued to nag on and on before Luo Qing Luan interrupted her, ¡°Tell me again. If I don¡¯t eat, I¡¯m going to starve to death. Could it be that you want to watch with your own eyes as your young miss starves to death before getting married? If you don¡¯t go, once we marry over into Prince Chu¡¯s residence, I¡¯ll let you and Nn Ye have the wedding night...¡±


    Dai Yue called out in fear when she heard it, ¡°Ah, Young Miss, don¡¯t! I¡¯ll go get it, I¡¯ll go get it. Don¡¯t make me serve him.¡± After speaking, she sped off.


    A short momentter, Dai Yue returned. She had taken two big trays of fruit that had been prepared to entertain their guests. However, before she had taken two bites, another congrattory voice sounded, ¡°Young Miss Luo, the time hase. Please get on the sedan.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan was shocked as she exchanged nces with Dai Yue. Thetter hurriedly wiped away the crumbs from her lips before Luo Qing Luan took a pile of cakes and stuffed it into her wide sleeve. Then, Dai Yue said, ¡°Understood, Young Miss will be there immediately.¡±

 Chapter 102A - Embarrassing, really embarrassing

    <h4>Chapter 102A: Embarrassing, really embarrassing</h4>


    The moment that she put on the red veil, Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t see anything anymore. Dai Yue slowly led her in front, and she still had to keep remembering the snacks that she hid in her sleeves. She had to act very carefully, panicking because she was greedy.


    ¡°Young Miss, be careful. There¡¯s a step right in front.¡± Dai Yue hurriedly notified her to avoid her from tripping.


    Although she could not see, she could hear the various bustling voices around her. There were male and female voices, along with the chatterings of little children. The chaos gave Luo Qing Luan a headache. Although she could hold on, she was raging in her heart. If it were not for Nn Ye, why would she have to put up with this kind of torture?


    ¡°The bride ising, everyone, make way.¡± The one in charge announced exaggeratedly as she led the way. Tens of servants made way in front, separating the spectators to allow the bride to reach the marriage sedan smoothly.


    They had spread the red carpet in the morning. On this day where she was getting married, the bride was not to step on the ground. It didn¡¯t matter whether it was at the bride¡¯s house or at the groom¡¯s house.


    ¡°Young Miss Luo ising. Hurry, take a look.¡±


    ¡°Yo, she¡¯s made up so prettily. Truly worthy of marrying the Chu Prince.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s so lucky. We¡¯ll have to call her Princess Chu in the future. Congrattions to the Luo General¡¯s residence.¡±


    All around her were congrattory voices, and Luo Qing Luan wanted to roll her eyes when she heard it. Her head was clearly covered, but these people really knew how to praise her as they actually praised her beauty. They were obviously opening their eyes while saying blind praises. However, it was a good thing that they were congratting her. She was toozy to correct them as she followed Dai Yue out step by step. She began toment how big the general¡¯s residence was, causing her to have to walk blindfolded for half a day.


    ¡°Young Miss, this is the main door. Do be careful.¡± Dai Yue reminded once again, which incited thedy in charge to cry out once again, ¡°Lord Chu, the bride ising! We have Lord Chu here to wee her, and carry her personally to the marriage sedan.¡±


    What? Nn Ye was here? Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard it.


    Although, a few days ago, Madame Luo and thedy in charge had already told her a few times how the process would go, she did not pay any attention to it. This was the beginning of the formalities, and it was only now that she knew that escorting the bride would require Nn Ye toe personally. He would even carry her up to the marriage sedan personally.


    The man would really carry her in front of so many people? Wasn¡¯t he afraid of embarrassing himself?


    Before she finished her train of thought, Luo Qing Luan felt that Dai Yue¡¯s hand that was initially supporting her the whole way, had let go. Then, a fresh scent appeared in front of her. Before she had time to react, Nn Ye had picked her up from the ground and was walking forward withrge strides.


    Her veil swayed nonstop and Luo Qing Luan waspletely caught off guard as she said, ¡°Nn Ye, what are you doing?¡±


    Who would have thought that the matchmaker¡¯s voice would be louder than hers as she cried out, ¡°Oh my, my Lord Chu, you should carry the bride on your back up the marriage sedan. Why are you hugging her? Quickly, put her down. Put her down...¡±


    Nn Ye turned around and said lightly, ¡°This Lord will just carry her like this. Take the wedding sedan away.¡±


    The matchmaker and those surrounding them, had their mouths fall open in shock when they heard it. This wasn¡¯t right, right? He hade to pick up the bride, right? How could they bring an empty wedding sedan back and then let the groom carry the bride there?


    ¡°This cannot do, Lord Chu, this doesn¡¯t follow the rules...¡±


    Before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Nn Ye said with a serious expression, ¡°This Lord¡¯s words are the rules!¡±


    Without wasting any more words, he carried Luo Qing Luan and her body was lightly whirled on top of the back of a horse. It was as if the horse was trained, as it immediately walked forwards. The group that was from the Chu¡¯s residence did not dare move and were still like a mountain. They just looked around them and their faces were expressionless. Looking at the matchmaker and the others, they noticed that they were all stunned.


    When Luo Cheng saw this, heughed drily and tried to smooth things over, ¡°No issue, no issue. As long as Lord Chu likes it that way, we¡¯ll just do it that way. No problem, everyone cane in and take a seat.¡±


    They watched as the weing party slowly recovered and the gongs and drums continued to resound. The firecrackers resounded to the heavens and the guests from the general¡¯s residence heaved a sigh of relief.


    This was the first time that they had seen a groom fetch their bride in this way. However, what could they do? Did they dare say that Lord Chu did not know of the tradition? If Lord Chu wanted to do it, apart from His Majesty himself, who would dare say otherwise? Even so, His Majesty would not chide him, and would probably even praise him.


    Luo Qing Luan, who was still in Nn Ye¡¯s embrace, finally reacted as she struggled. It was a good thing that it was still prettyfortable, but she was actually not going to take the marriage sedan, and was going to be carried like this, back to the Chu Residence?


    She was even prepared to eat her hidden snacks while she was in the sedan. How was she going to eat it now?


    She couldn¡¯t help but push her veil to the side and she saw Nn Ye beaming at her, ¡°Qing Luan, what is it? Couldn¡¯t wait to see your future husband?¡±


    ¡°Nn Ye, do you know propriety or not? Who let you carry me in your arms?¡± Luo qing Luan red at him as she said fiercely.


    They were under the full light of day and the firecrackers continued to crackle in front of them. asionally, red paper would float over and they even carried a burnt smell. Luo Qing Luan was incredibly flustered as she held on tightly to her sleeve, deathly afraid that the snacks she had hidden would roll off because of the horse.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because your future husband¡¯s heart hurts for you, and doesn¡¯t want you to be so bored in the marriage sedan.¡± Nn Ye looked indifferent again as he said with a smile, ¡°In any case, we¡¯re going the same way, so it¡¯s even better for me to hug you. This way, we¡¯ll be able to be together and you won¡¯t be bored, either. Being able to watch the festivities together with my future bride is really nice.¡±

 Chapter 102B - Embarrassing, really embarrassing

    <h4>Chapter 102B: Embarrassing, really embarrassing</h4>


    She didn¡¯t want so many people watching her!


    Luo Qing Luan uttered through with gritted teeth, ¡°Put me down, do you hear me? I want to sit on the sedan.¡±


    Oh no, being shaken around by the horse like this made her even hungrier. She had only eaten half a biscuit earlier. She was so hungry that she was about to faint.


    Nn Ye simply refused to put her down, holding her even tighter instead, ¡°What¡¯s the point of the sedan? Other women take the sedans when they are going to get married, but you¡¯re sitting on a horse. You¡¯re even sitting on the horse with your future husband. In the future, others will definitely be jealous of you when they hear of it, am I right?¡±


    ¡°Jealous, your ass! Others willugh at me, more like.¡± Luo Qing Luan was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth. She raised her head and thought of hitting him, but who knew that, as she lifted her hand, the snacks that she had hidden in her sleeve slid out. It rolled all the way to her shoulder, and it was extremely ufortable.


    She subconsciously stretched a hand forth to touch it, but Nn Ye¡¯s movements were quicker than hers. He had already touched her body and said with a teasing expression, ¡°Qing Luan, what did you bring with you? Why does it smell so sweet to your husband, and nothing like cosmetics?¡±


    Damn, she was discovered!


    Luo Qing Luan was flustered as she immediately replied, ¡°Nothing. There¡¯s absolutely nothing. You¡¯ve got it wrong.¡±


    She just finished speaking before Nn Ye felt the inside of her sleeve. He quickly touched something and took it out, saying with a smile as he ced it in front of her, ¡°Qing Luan, why are there snacks on your? Did you bring it for your future husband to munch on?¡±


    ¡°Return it.¡± Her eyes were fixed on the things that he had stolen from her and Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t be bothered to save her reputation.


    The most important thing right now was for her to eat. Since Nn Ye already knew about it, she didn¡¯t care anymore. She¡¯d talk about itter on when she had filled her belly.


    ¡°Be careful. If you make such big movements, others might see.¡± Nn Ye immediately acted proper as he grabbed onto her hands and didn¡¯t let her move. Luo Qing Luan thought that something had happened and immediately turned around to look around her. Although there were many groups waiting to receive her and pointing at her with curiosity, she was currently sitting on the back of a horse, in Nn Ye¡¯s embrace. The clothes that she wore were veryplicated, so nobody could tell what she was doing.


    She rxed, but Luo Qing Luan did tone it down a few notches. She red at Nn Ye as she said in a low voice, ¡°Nn Ye, this is This Lady¡¯s snacks, do you hear me? If it were not because we were to get married today, and I haven¡¯t eaten and am starving to death, do you think that I would keep snacks on me?¡±


    She thought that Nn Ye would tease her a little more, but he actually gave a light smile as she ced the desert beside her lips, ¡°I just knew you were hungry. Little greedy cat, your future husband will feed you. Just focus on eating, nobody will see.¡±


    This person. He was always so unpredictable and not like she imagined. Seeing it was right in front of her and that Nn Ye was even blocking the osmanthus cake with his hands, when the fragrance wafted over, Luo Qing Luan could hold back no longer as she opened her mouth and bit down.


    Her mouth filled with the soft desert mixed with the fragrance of the osmanthus flower. Luo Qing Luan felt like she could eat more than ten of these. After she swallowed it, she unceremoniously ate another bite as she heard Nn Ye said tenderly, ¡°Look at how hungry you are. Take it slow, don¡¯t rush. It would be bad if you choked.¡±


    It was Luo Qing Luan¡¯s first time being in a man¡¯s embrace and fed food. She stopped chewing as she lifted her head and looked at Nn Ye. A strange feeling rose in her heart. She was a little shy and a little out of it. Her heart sped up a few beats, and the desert that she had yet to swallow became a little hard to finish eating.


    ¡°What, did you really choke? Should I fetch you some water?¡± Nn Ye asked as his eyes filled with concern.


    Wanting this to pass, Luo Qing Luan immediately swallowed as she said, ¡°I didn¡¯t choke.¡± She was too embarrassed to drink! If others knew that the new bride was so busy eating even as she was getting married, others wouldugh at her. Although she didn¡¯t mind, there was no need for that.


    By her nce just now, Luo Qing Luan had kind of noticed how Nn Ye was dressed today.


    He was usually dressed in basic dark clothes, but he had actually worn a set of red today with a jade crown. He had on a constant smile, as if his eyebrows were smiling as well. His fair face did look rather handsome. His nose was sharp and his eyes were bright and clear. It was just that his smile did look a little sinister, as if he was going to eat her up.


    She was hugged like this by Nn Ye all the way to the entrance of the Royal Chu¡¯s residence and the both of them got off the horse.


    When they reached the entrance of the Royal Chu¡¯s residence, they saw that the bride did note out from the sedan, but was carried in the embrace of Lord Chu. They watched, bbergasted, and they forgot to utter their congrattions.


    Without a care at how they looked at him, Nn Ye ced Luo Qing Luan down. The matchmaker and Dai Yue, who had reached before them, immediately stepped forward to support her, but who knew that, just as Luo Qing Luan had stood up straight, a few round things tumbled out of her clothes.


    Everyone looked over to see that the things that had fallen out of the bride¡¯s clothes were osmanthus cakes. Someone immediately shouted, ¡°Look, osmanthus cakes!¡±


    ¡°Ah? Where did these osmanthus cakese from?¡± Some of the guests who saw it clearly thought it was strange. How did a few round osmanthus cakes tumble out in front of the bride? Which childish brat threw these here?


    How could the sharp-eyed guests not see that they had tumbled out from the clothes of the bride? Was she sneakily eating them just now?


    Luo Qing Luan could only feel like her head had gone light. She was dead, they had fallen out! She didn¡¯t finish eating them earlier on, and had been embraced by Nn Ye for such a long time that she had forgotten all about it. They actually fell out in front of everyone, so embarrassing! Heavens, she wished that there was a hole that she could hide in!


    The moment she saw that things were going awry, the matchmaker still managed to beat the gong and say in a hurried voice, ¡°The auspicious time is here! The bride and groom have to pay their respects to Heaven and Earth!¡±

 Chapter 103A - A starved wedding night

    <h4>Chapter 103A: A starved wedding night</h4>


    Seated in the marriage room, Luo Qing Luan rested for a bit before finally recovering.


    It was just too embarrassing earlier, which caused her unable to recover her senses after they went through the rituals to heaven and earth. But she knew from a long time ago that Nn Ye¡¯s parents were long deceased and there was no demanding parents-inw to deal with. Nn Ye was the highest authority in the entire Prince Chu¡¯s Residence, and she was the next in line.


    The bridal veil had long been removed by her and the Phoenix crown was also ced on the bedside. Luo Qing Luan was bored to tears so she took the opportunity to size up the borately decorated joyous marriage room.


    Behind her was a high quality brocade quilt with an embroidered peacock and peony motif on it which felt silky to the touch. Luo Qing Luan was a little tired and she convenientlyid down but suddenly felt something pressing against her back.


    There was something under the quilt? Luo Qing Luan flipped over and removed the quilt but didn¡¯t discover anything at all. She thought for a moment and pulled the red coloured bedsheet apart to find a whole pile of dried fruits resting on the mattress. Peanuts, chestnuts, dates, dried longans which had practically been piled up on the entire bed, amounting to at least four to five catties.


    ¡°Whoever did this, how boring can that person get, to really think that these items could really ensure one gave birth to a son quickly?¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s lips tugged as she conveniently picked up a peanut, peeling off its shell and popping the nut into her mouth. Earlier it was bustling for quite a while. Luckily she didn¡¯t need to entertain the guests otherwise she would probably be even hungrier.


    After devouring a handful of peanuts, Luo Qing Luan started to feel the dried longans and took a bite of two red dates. Although it was big and plump, but she didn¡¯t like eating it. The chestnuts were not bad though but it was raw. She preferred eating baked chestnut chicken though. These kinds of raw chestnuts just had to make do in such a situation.


    The more she ate, the hungrier she got so Luo Qing Luan might as well get off the bed to search for food. She left a pile of peanut shells on the table and only saw a sk of wine on the ck coloured red sandalwood table with two wine cups. As for good wine and delicacies, it was nowhere in sight.


    The entire marriage room was silent with only a pair of thick Dragon Phoenix red candles lighting its warmth to brighten up the room. Each and every ornament were exquisite, apparently ced with utmost care however it seemed a little too unfrequented. Luo Qing Luan pushed apart the red beaded curtain as she walked outside which was still dested, without even a maid in sight whom she couldmand.


    ¡°Dai Yue! Dai Yue!¡± Luo Qing Luan cried out but she didn¡¯t hear any response, not knowing where Dai Yue had been summoned to.


    She couldn¡¯t take it any longer as her tummy started rumbling so she pushed open the door to the outside, prepared to search for food.


    She didn¡¯t care if today was her newly wed night. Nn Ye obviously knew that she was hungry but he actually didn¡¯t prepare any food in the room, was he intending to starve her intentionally? She would head to the kitchen to look for room now. As forter if Nn Ye couldn¡¯t find her, that¡¯s none of her business. Anyway their marriage was bestowed and there was no feeling involved.


    Knowing that she would be easily discovered by wearing the wedding gown, Luo Qing Luan kept hiding and avoiding all the busy maids and servants in the mansion and very quickly, she made her way to the kitchen.


    ¡°There¡¯s so much good food!¡± Standing outside the window to the kitchen as she peered in, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes shone.


    Many of today¡¯s guests were esteemed and respectable high officials and regional lords. Furthermore the Emperor and Empress had also graced their presence hence Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion¡¯s chefs and a few Imperial Chefs culinary skills had already piled up the entire kitchen with various food, with fragrance emitting from the entire kitchen. Although many cuisines had already been served out to the main hall to the guests, but to prevent the possibility of not having enough food, they had prepared a lot of reserves, which was enough to serve another two to three tables.


    Steamed Garlic Prawns, Crispy Duck, Braised Dragon Pearls, Treasure Trio Fish Lips, Coral Flower Abalone, Scallop Yam Cake.... And many other kinds of delicious pastries like osmanthus ky pastry, Thousandyer almond cake, Red bean paste cake, Five coloured glutinous dumplings and more, filling the entire kitchen with a deliciously sweet fragrance which made Luo Qing Luan showing off her gluttony look.


    On one look, all the chefs had disappeared. Probably they had been busy for the entire day and had gone off for a rest leaving just four servants to dish out the soup. Likely, they were already serving up thest dish of dessert outside. After these four servants brought out the dessert and fruits, Luo Qing Luan looked left and right, and on seeing no one around, she lifted the hem of her wedding dress and slipped inside.


    ¡°What shall I start eating first......¡± Luo Qing Luan looked joyously around. There was just too much food and she actually didn¡¯t know where to start. Seeing a te full of crispy roasted chicken wings, an aroma mixed with honey made her unable to stop herself from picking up a piece as she opened her mouth and started eating.


    The skin was deliciously crispy and the meat was tender as it melted the minute it entered her mouth. As she bit on it, the juices started to slow out, filling her entire mouth with fragrance. Luo Qing Luan originally was starved so why would she even bother with her image? Within two to three mouthfuls, she had already devoured a chicken wing and conveniently grabbed another two more with one in each hand. She was just about to savour it properly when she suddenly heard footsteps.


    It was toote for her to run out so she took a look around the kitchen and directly ran towards arge wicker basket which was filled with vegetables. This wicker basket was half her height. For today¡¯s wedding feast, there were four to five wicker baskets piled up and all of it was filled with fruits and vegetables so hiding behind it totally hid her from the view of anyone else.


    Those people who entered had not discovered anything amiss and they quickly served the food out again. Luo Qing Luan was toozy to move hence she just simply sat behind the wicker baskets as she enjoyed her food scrumptiously. After she finished eating, she realised that there wasn¡¯t anyone hence she walked out to dish a bowl of sweet fermented sticky rice balls with refreshing sweet wine paired with red wolfberries, just looking at it made her appetite grow. She took two bowls consecutively before she put down the bowl and feeling just half full, she continued to carefully select the other items which she wanted to try.


    With no bride in the marriage room, after Nn Ye had entertained all the guests in the main hall, his entire body was filled with the odour of alcohol but with clear bright eyes, he pushed open the door with a beaming smile. But on seeing the empty room, where had the bride gone to?

 Chapter 103B - A starved wedding night

    <h4>Chapter 103B: A starved wedding night</h4>


    After searching around, he didn¡¯t find Luo Qing Luan but the things in the room were neat and tidy without any signs of fighting or rummaging hence Nn Ye knew that his impatient newly wedded wife had probably sneaked off to god-knows-where.


    ¡°Thisss, running about during the newly wed night. If I find herter, I must teach her a lesson properly.¡± Nn Ye shook his head as he gave a bitter smile but he had no choice. He didn¡¯t rm anyone, merely guessing where Luo Qing Luan might have gone off to.


    When Nn Ye found his way to the kitchen, he saw a floor full of chicken bones and he couldn¡¯t help himself fromughing.


    Just how hungry was thisss? She actually ate that much.


    Listening attentively, he heard a slight rustling from behind the heap of wicker baskets which were filled with vegetables, as though someone was eating something. Hence Nn Ye was even more sure that his disobedient youngss who didn¡¯t stay in the marriage room was right here.


    Slowly making his way in, Nn Ye called out, ¡°There¡¯s actually a mouse in This Prince¡¯s kitchen, and it even stole things, what a rare sight.¡±


    With a sh, his silhouette swiftly moved behind the wicker baskets and he had indeed caught sight of a shocked Luo Qing Luan, her hand still holding on to a spoon with a circle of grease along the corner of her lips, apparently shocked by his sudden appearance.


    ¡°Nn Ye, do you want to die, why did you scare me?¡± Luo Qing Luan reacted over and she stared at him angrily.


    This man always appears and disappears unpredictably like a spirit. This was obviously his own residence but he didn¡¯t make any sound while walking, scaring her so much that she almost spilled out the chicken soup which she was still savouring.


    ¡°Qing Luan, what are you doing here, have you forgotten what day is today?¡± Nn Ye looked at her with a smile, which wasn¡¯t quite like a smile.


    Rolling her eyes at him, Luo Qing Luan finished the rest of her chicken soup with one big gulp and put down the bowl while using her sleeve to wipe her mouth, ¡°What does it concern me on what day is today. I¡¯m hungry so naturally I have to eat.... oh, I just remembered, isn¡¯t today your wedding day, have you forgotten about it?¡±


    He almost wanted to grab this heartlessss and kissed her fiercely. She actually said it¡¯s his wedding and not their wedding?


    Nn Ye ced his hands behind his back as he took a tour around the kitchen while admitting Luo Qing Luan¡¯s aplishments as he said, ¡°Today seems to be your wedding day as well, Qing Luan, it¡¯s so coincidental, we actually got married on the same day, isn¡¯t that worth celebrating?¡±


    Looking at Nn Ye¡¯s teasing look, Luo Qing Luan knew that he was taking a dig at her, ¡°Are you not happy? I know today is the day we got married, but I haven¡¯t eaten anything for the entire day, surely you¡¯re not intending to starve me to death right? I merely ate a few things, do you need to be so petty?¡±


    ¡°This Prince is not petty but as a bride, you didn¡¯t wait in the room but actually ran out to the kitchen to pilfer food. If someone else saw you.....¡± Nn Ye couldn¡¯t stop himself from smiling as heughed out, ¡°That would be embarrassing.¡±


    ¡°So what if it¡¯s embarrassing, I don¡¯t mind anyway. Haven¡¯t I been embarrassed enough today?¡±


    After having her fill, Luo Qing Luan started to get a little sleepy as she couldn¡¯t be bothered to haggle on with Nn Ye and waved her hand, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve taken my fill and I want to go take a bath and sleep so I won¡¯t bothered to talk rubbish with you now. Prince Chu please do as you wish.¡± Saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.


    A silhouette shed like the wind and appeared in front of her. Nn Ye blocked her way with a smiling face, ¡°Qing Luan, you want to take a bath? Then how about This Prince apany you?¡± Looking at him, ¡°We had written clearly in ck and white that if you are up to any tricks, I will absolutely not stand on ceremony with you.¡±


    Watching Luo Qing Luo leaving with quick steps slowly disappearing from his sight, Nn Ye didn¡¯t pursue after her. Instead he bore a smiling face without any irritated look. He naturally knew that Luo Qing Luan had gone to the bath but since she wasn¡¯t willing to bath together, he wouldn¡¯t force it upon her, just heading to another ce. Butter on it would not be up to her, who said the groom could not enter the bridal room? Surely he could not sleep outside right.


    By the time Luo Qing Luo finished her guarded bathing in a hurry, she didn¡¯t see Nn Ue¡¯s figure after she came out so she heaved a sigh of relief.


    But when she pushed open the marriage room door and was just about to prepare to enter and rest, she saw Nn Ye who had simrly just finished bathing and had already changed into his home clothes. He sat by the bedside as he ced a cup of wine.


    On seeing Luo Qing Luo walking in, Nn Ye smiled slightly and that good looking face revealed an intoxicating mour as his sword shaped brows gave off an extraordinary demeanour.


    ¡°Qing Luan,e over here and take a seat.¡± He opened his mouth indifferently.


    She was just about to reject when she heard Nn Ye continue, ¡°Today is the night of our wedding and this is the nuptial wine. Surely you will drink it right?¡±


    Thinking about it, Luo Qing Luan walked over and sat down as she kept a firm watch over Nn Ye, ¡°Since we have an agreement first, we are also married so it is necessary to drink the nuptial wine. But after drinking this, we shall sleep on our own. You¡¯re not allowed toe disturb me, do you understand me?¡±


    The beauty who had just walked out from a bath was still bearing a faint shade of blush on her face as her heart started to pound upon seeing Nn Ye. As though an obvious intoxicating smell whiffed over making one drunk not from the wine but from oneself. Their wedding night in the bridal room, for so many years, finally there was a youngdy who made his heart beat wildly, and even became his wife.


    His mood lifted up as Nn Ye raised his cup, with an intoxicating faint smile curling up from the corners of his lips, ¡°Alright Qing Luan, after we drink this cup of nuptial wine, I hope that we will apany each other with our hearts and grow old together till the day our hair turns white.¡±

 Chapter 104A - The power of conjugal bliss wine

    <h4>Chapter 104A: The power of conjugal bliss wine</h4>


    With raised neck and outstretched arm just in front of her, Luo Qing Luan picked the wine up as an aromatic wine fragrance engulfed her. The man in front of her had clear distinct eyes and a faint smile. As she looked, her heart started to jump. The atmosphere was just too ambiguous, as though the both of them were really going to consummate their wedding. Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t dare to think any further as she gulped down the wine in her hand, after which her face added a shade of red.


    ¡°Why, just a cup and you¡¯re already drunk?¡± Nn Ye finished his wine and on looking at Luo Qing Luan¡¯s alluring looks, he tried his best not tough out.


    The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. She was exceptionally beautiful, refined and her non pretentious look was distances apart from those heavily made updies. Luckily he was decisively swift, otherwise he had finally fallen for the dream of his dreams would possibly be someone else¡¯s.


    Thinking of Nangong Qing who was still at the borders engaged in a battle with North Yue, Nn Ye smiled slightly, totally not minding that his best friend had been duped.


    He aided Nangong Qing to secure his position after his future ascension so the beauty, naturally belonged to him.


    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ve already drunk the wine so I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Luo Qing Luan only took a cup of wine, moreover she had taken some good earlier and not drank on an empty stomach, but there was still this strange feeling. She just took two steps and realised that her entire body was slightly warm and her head was a little giddy hence she immediately took off her shoes and climbed up the bed.


    Putting on a straight face to look at Nn Ye, Luo Qing Luan said, ¡°Nn Ye, we¡¯ve previously agreed on this. Even if we¡¯re married, we do not interfere in each other¡¯s lives so I¡¯d like to rest now. You go look for another ce to rest, do you hear me.¡±


    Saying that, she felt her body heated up a little more. She had merely just taken one cup wasn¡¯t it, what wine was that, which shot right to her head?


    Instead of leaving, Nn Ye walked right over and sat on the side of the bed, ¡°This Prince naturally remembers but tonight is our wedding night and the night of consummation. Qing Luan, surely you¡¯re not asking This Prince to go to the study to sleep right? If anyone saw that, won¡¯t we spill the beans?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care, anyway you¡¯re not allowed to sleep with me.¡±


    As Luo Qing Luan said that, she lifted up the nket and didn¡¯t even bother removing her clothes as sheid down fully clothed with a hint of alertness in her expression, ¡°Nn Ye, I will give you a reminder. If you dare to get fresh with me, then don¡¯t me This Lady for being impolite. Surely you don¡¯t want to relish a taste of what happenedst time right?¡±


    His face twitched, how could Nn Ye ever forget about what happenedst time?


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he had evaded swiftly, thisss would really be a widow for the rest of her lift. Butter on he didn¡¯t try the medication which she gave, not knowing if the effect was truly as good as what she said, but anyway he didn¡¯t want to try.


    His gaze was calm with a hint of gentleness as Nn Ye spoke out, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, the things which This Prince had agreed to, This Prince will naturally not go back on it. But.... if you were to get fresh with This Prince, then what should be done?¡±


    ¡°Forget about this, who will get fresh with you?¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes immediately glowered at him.


    ¡°Then since we won¡¯t interfere with each other, then This Prince will sleep next to you tonight.¡± Speaking until here, Nn Ye saw Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression changed and he hurriedly spoke out, ¡°Rest assured, This Prince will not be a beggar who can¡¯t choose. Since we¡¯ve already got married, if you¡¯re not willing, This Prince will not stoop so low to coerce ady. Sleeping in the study is not possible, moreover we have a long way to go so just get used to it.¡±


    Saying that, Nn Ye directly took off his shoes and removed his home clothes revealing a white inner shirt and lifted the nket as heid next to Luo Qing Luan. But he didn¡¯t even take a single look at her and very quickly shut his eyes, making that anxious Luo Qing Luan stared at him for quite some time, wondering if she should get off the bed or not.


    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re sleeping just like that?¡±


    After quite a while, not only did Nn Ye not opened his eyes, his breathing started to be steady as well but Luo Qing Luan started to hesitate. Was she really to sleep right next to him all night long? It was so cold now and it was going to be a few more days before spring so she didn¡¯t want to make her bed on the floor. But this man had immodestly slept on the bed, thinking that she wouldn¡¯t be able to move him anyway and plus the fact that the both of them were already married, there would be more urrences of them spending time together, so could she really sleep separately every night?


    They would be found out sooner orter.


    ¡°Go to sleep, stop thinking. Tomorrow a few butlers in the household still need to address some things with you and you¡¯d have a busy day ahead so hurry up and get some rest.¡± Sensing Luo Qing Luan¡¯s breathing slightly disoriented, Nn Ye felt that it was rather humorous but he didn¡¯t reveal any ws, not even opening his eyes.


    Trying to shrink her body to the innermost part of the bed, Luo Qing Luan found that Nn Ye was almost asleep and rested her heart slightly. The silver needles in her hands which were secretly concealed were ced under the pillow and she felt sleepier and sleepier as the bed got warmer and warmer, even her body was warming up making her feel that she wanted to have a good sleep.


    Finally she couldn¡¯t win against ¡°sleepiness¡± as Luo Qing Luan covered herself with the nket and groggily shut her eyes.


    The minute she shut her eyes, she seemed as though she was dreaming. The heat on her body was intensifying and she started to sweat. Luo Qing Luan removed the nket but still felt hot while the limp, numb and ticklish feeling which her body was giving off intensified. She opened her eyes abruptly as she cried out, ¡°Not right.¡± But the voice which she gave off was soft and lethargic, as though she was moaning softly, filled with seductiveness.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Qing Luan, your face is very red.¡± Nn Ye¡¯s voice rang next to her but to Luo Qing Luo¡¯s ears right now, she felt that voice was very maic. She could even smell his scent as an intense attracting power was pulling her, making her unable to stop herself from getting closer to him.

 Chapter 104B - The power of conjugal bliss wine

    <h4>Chapter 104B: The power of conjugal bliss wine</h4>


    How could Luo Qing Luan possibly not detect such peculiarity? She used up all her energy to resist the body¡¯s heat as she questioned through clenched teeth, ¡°Nn Ye, is there a problem with the wine which you gave me earlier? How dare you scam me like this?¡±


    Thisss actually just realised this. Nn Ye put on an innocent look as he turned around to look at her, ¡°I¡¯ve also drank the wine, it¡¯s just conjugal bliss wine, nothing¡¯s wrong with it.¡±


    ¡°Conjugal bliss wine, what is it?¡± Luo Qing Luo immediately felt something was amiss, wasn¡¯t it ordinary wine?


    ¡°Conjugal bliss wine is specially used on newly wedded nights for the bride and groom to liven things up. Although it is an ordinary type of wine, but they added some rosemary, vani and such into the wine. This is a very normal thing in West Chu and everyone knows about it.¡± Nn Ye exined with a straight face, ¡°Moreover this wine had been left on the table from the start so haven¡¯t you already checked it earlier on? Why, Qing Luan, you still don¡¯t know?¡±


    Rosemary? Vani? Luo Qing Luan¡¯s head started to grow bigger when she heard that. Hadn¡¯t these medicinal herbs contained bewilderment and promoted estruses effects? And yet she actually drank all these stuff earlier? No wonder she wasn¡¯t able to detect any issues because these things weren¡¯t poison at all, and it didn¡¯t harm the body in any way hence she didn¡¯t doubt anything and drank it.


    But right now, she was on the verge of losing control over her body as it got warmer and warmer, with a rampaging desire inside. She was clearest on what that represented.


    She couldn¡¯t wait to kick Nn Ye off the bed as Luo Qing Luan hissed through gritted teeth, ¡°Nn Ye, you purposely made me drink that stuff isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Qing Luan, that¡¯s not right to speak of this husband in this way. The wine had been ced on the table right from the start and you had definitely seen it. If you felt that there was a problem with it, you could have thrown it away but you didn¡¯t. Moreover I¡¯ve also drank it, so don¡¯t you malign this husband.¡± Nn Ye¡¯s eyes shone with delight but his words were put in an aggrieved manner.


    ¡°Get off, scram from here.¡± Luo Qing Luan wanted to shout out loudly but her voice was getting gentler by the minute and the alluring red colour on her face was tender and beautiful.


    ¡°This Prince is sleepy and going to sleep. If Qing Luan doesn¡¯t want to sleep, you can get off the bed.¡± Nn Ye spoke without any sense of shame increasingly with no intention of moving aside as he justid right there on the outside side of the bed.


    No way, this conjugal bliss wine was just too powerful. She had never touched such stuff with these ingredients and she had no medicine to resist against it at all as her entire body was so hot that she couldn¡¯t bear with it. Nn Ye refused to move aside so at the most she would get off the bed herself. Thinking of that, Luo Qing Luan pushed aside the nket and tried to surmount his body.


    Like azy little kitten, Luo Qing Luan stretched out one leg and just as she was halfway surmounting above Nn Ye¡¯s body, thetter suddenly moved.


    With his outstretched arm pulling in, Luo Qing Luan was totally energy-less as she was trying her best to control herself but she immediately lost her stability and fell onto Nn Ye¡¯s body. Nn Ye then followed the flow and hugged Luo Qing Luan as his lips curled into a smile, ¡°Why, Qing Luan is throwing yourself into this husband¡¯s arms so quickly?¡±


    At close proximity, Luo Qing Luan felt a seductive presence charging towards her, it was so familiar and yet filled with seductiveness. She used her might to push Nn Ye aside but he hugged her even more tightly and she finally couldn¡¯t help but cried out anxiously, ¡°Nn Ye, let me go!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who pounced over yourself so this husband naturally wouldn¡¯t reject you.¡± Nn Ye turned over and hugged Luo Qian Luan into his arms, leaning in close to her lips as he breathed lightly but with ambiguity, ¡°Qing Luan, your breathing is so hurried and your body is so hot. Do you need this husband to take off your clothes in case you get a heat stroke.¡±


    Her heart cried out in rm and Luo Qing Luan used all her energy to push Nn Ye away. The minute the two separated, she actually felt an uncontroble sense of reluctance. Her arm was obviously pushing him away but her body uncontrobly leaned over, attracting Nn Ye to immediately hug her once again and even giving her a peck on her face.


    ¡°Does Qing Luan want to consummate with this husband?¡± While he was saying, Nn Ye kissed her face as his pupils were deep and constricted.


    ¡°I said no, Nn Ye, stop... stop forcing me.¡±


    Rationality and desire kept fighting against each other as Luo Qing Luan discovered the pain which she was tolerating. But she knew if she continued like this, she would not be able to hold on much longer as she poured a torrent of abuses on Nn Ye in her heart. After she recovered, see if she would teach him a proper lesson for actually daring to scheme on her!


    She felt for her silver needles under the pillow but Luo Qing Luo didn¡¯t stab Nn Ye. Instead she stabbed herself hard on her thigh and the instant pain cleared her mind slightly. Although silver needles were different from embroidery needles, but as long as it wasn¡¯t pierced into the acupoints, it would still cause pain. Right now, only pain could help her maintain her consciousness.


    Nn Ye quickly discovered Luo Qing Luan¡¯s expression and the trembling of her body. He only thought of just teasing her a little. If things naturally happened that it would be for the best but if she wasn¡¯t willing, he had not thought about forcing her. Yet now, thisss actually stabbed herself! Just to stop herself from getting intimate with him?


    Seeing the pain and suppression in Luo Qign Luan¡¯s eyes shing past, Nn Ye¡¯s heart ached dearly and lost all side thoughts.


    Snatching the silver needles in her hand and casting it aside, Nn Ye spoke out in a deep voice, ¡°Sillyss, why stab yourself? Forget it if you¡¯re not willing, how will This Prince possibly coerce you? Bear with it for a moment, I¡¯ll bring you for a soak in the water and you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Saying that, he carried her in his arms and opened the door as he brought her towards the bath pool.

 Chapter 105A - Some people rejoice while some worry

    <h4>Chapter 105A: Some people rejoice while some worry</h4>


    In a snowy white pool constructed out of white marble, Nn Ye carried Luo Qing Luan as they soaked in the water.


    Crystal clear water from the underground was transported out from two bronze necked cranes mouth taps, which was specially crafted by artisans as the water sploshed and sshed into the pool, causing a huge cooling water ripple. The pools were divided into hot and cold sides and could be used in both winter or summer. Right now the two of them were soaking in the cold side as their clothes were all drenched.


    After soaking in the cold water for a moment, Luo Qing Luan¡¯s fiery disposition within slowly disappeared as she regained her rationality. When she realised that she was still in Nn Ye¡¯s arms, she immediately pushed him aside as she swam far away from him.


    You¡¯re alright now?¡± Nn Ye¡¯s clear sounding voice echoed unhurriedly in the vast pool building, radiating an airy and misty charm.


    However Luo Qing Luan heeded no notice to the environment, only recalling back about the urgent scenario earlier. If she hadn¡¯t tried her best to control herself, she would had probably lost her chastity to this bastard.


    ¡°Nn Ye, This Lady really treated you as a trustworthy gentleman but I¡¯d not expected that you actually.....¡±


    Furiously staring at Nn Ye, although Luo Qing Luan¡¯s red blush on her face had disappeared, but ayer of coldness was now masked on it. A moment of carelessness actually coerced her to such a state. This man seemed to treat her rather well on the surface but he was actually having such designs on her privately!


    Nn Ye was entirely soaked in the water as though he could not feel the coldness. His expression was calm and a smile even hung on his lips as he said, ¡°You¡¯re the one who was willing to drink it so how could you me This Prince for it. Moreover speaking, Qing Luan, even if This Prince really treated you in that way, that is because This Prince truly likes you.¡±


    His silhouette moved and Nn Ye was like a fish as he broke out in a ripple in the water and abruptly reached Luo Qing Luan. Thetter had not expected his movements to be so quick and was in a state of shock when she heard him continuing, ¡°We have already wed and paid our respects to Heaven and Earth, drank the nuptial wine to be a couple. Isn¡¯t it very normal for This Prince to like you?¡±


    Like, Nn Ye said he liked her?


    This wasn¡¯t the first time Luo Qing Luan heard him said such words but this time hearing it gave her a totally new sensation.


    She had always thought that Nn Ye was joking and teasing her, even to the fact that he wanted to see her embarrassed look after she took his words for real. But this time round, she had already drunk the conjugal bliss wine and her desires were invigorated. They had also be a couple so even if he really did anything to her, no one would feel that there was anything wrong with it. Even for her, she seriously thought that she wasn¡¯t able to evade this at all.


    But Nn Ye didn¡¯t take the opportunity to take advantage of her. He even couldn¡¯t bear that she was using needles to stab herself and instantly brought her over to the pool.


    Towards whether a person was genuine, it could be easily told from various details. Luo Qing Luan was fairly suspicious of her own biases towards Nn Ye. Perhaps.... He could be telling the truth when he said he liked her?


    The fury in her heart dissipated by quite an amount and Luo Qing Luan quickly felt cold. He silently took another look at Nn Ye and without a word, she walked up towards the pool¡¯s stairs. Soaking wet inner clothes kept on dripping water, leaving a long trail behind her. Her ck hair stuck rightly to her exquisite curvy back, showing a sweet fair and graceful silhouette.


    Nn Ye saw Luo Qing Luan walking out and he was surprised that he didn¡¯t get to hear her chant of abuses as he felt slightly strange.


    ording to thatss¡¯s temper, she would at least berate him with a burst of despicable and shameless words, but she just left like that?


    Worried that she might catch a cold from the drenched clothes, Nn Ye quickly flew over as he changed into a set of clean dry robes and chased after her. After a few warps, he had already chased up to the silent Luo Qing Luan who was only concentrating on walking straight ahead.


    ¡°You¡¯ll catch a cold like this, This Prince will bring you back to change your clothes.¡± He had just finished his sentence and Nn Ye didn¡¯t wait for any objections as he carried Luo Qing Luan and left. His toes tipped and he flew up into the sky like an owl and within lightning fast seconds, he was tapping gently along the grasses and bushes as they had already travelled several miles.


    Just merely within minutes, Nn Ye had already brought Luo Qig Luan back into their bridal room. From the time they left till they came back, no one had realised that tonight¡¯s bride and groom had already gone out and returned.


    Letting go of Luo Qing Luan, Nn Ye went in and looked for a set of new clothes for her as he left it on the bed and said, ¡°Hurry on and change. When you¡¯re done, give This Prince a call.¡±


    Without a word, she watched Nn Ye walking out and hearing the door clicked shut, Luo Qing Luan was already shivering from the cold, but only using up all her energy to persist on. Now that she was alone in the room, she would not be so stupid as to retain her face and make herself a living hell.


    She quickly snuck into the nket, removed all her wet clothes and changed into a set of dry and clean inner shirt and pants, then wrapping herself with the nket before her body started to feel some warmth. Luckily she had already nursed her own body for the past half year otherwise based on her previous body condition, she would probably fall ill big time again.


    After such a long night, she was finally done as shefortablyid on the bed. Luo Qing Luan finally started to feel sleepy.


    But she had justid down when she recalled that Nn Ye was still outside waiting for her. After pondering over this for some time, she finally couldn¡¯t bear to really let him stay outside the room to freeze for the entire night. Even asking him to go to the study wasn¡¯t very nice as well.


    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m done, quicklye in.¡± Luo Qing Luan dinally shouted out for him.


    Apparently Nn Ye had been waiting at the door and upon hearing her voice, he immediately opened the door and walked in.


    dded in a long white robe, Nn Ye stepped into the room. His long hair hung loosely behind his back, ck as obsidian, pouring down in torrents. From the first time she had saw him today, Luo Qing Luan had found him smiling, no longer the cold stern face when she initially met him.


    This man was changing every time they met and he was totally different now aspared to the first time they got to know each other. The smile on his lips was as warm as the spring wind while his gaze was filled with a trace of tender affections. She seemed to be able to see admiration, affection and some slivers of unconfirmed love.


    ¡°Have you caught the chills?¡± Nn Ye opened his mouth and walked over naturally as he held Luo Qing Luan¡¯s hand while sitting by the side of the bed, ¡°If you feel ufortable, shall This Prince look for a physician for you?¡± Saying that heughed out loud, ¡°That¡¯s right, although you¡¯re not a physician but your medical skills are much better than ordinary physicians so you should know your body the best.¡±

 Chapter 105B - Some people rejoice while some worry

    <h4>Chapter 105B: Some people rejoice while some worry</h4>


    Facing his gentle voice, Luo Qing Luan found herself unable to get upset but just recalling that scene earlier made her slightly embarrassed hence she could only intentionally raised her voice to cover up her embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m not sick, I don¡¯t need your hypocrisy.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re not sick. It¡¯s veryte already so it¡¯s time to get some rest.¡± Nn Ye didn¡¯t bicker with her, only giving her a smile.


    ¡°Hey, this bed is so small, must you squeeze into the same bed with me?¡± Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but blushed again.


    ¡°Qing Luan, you¡¯re already This Prince¡¯s Prince Consort, can you really bear to make This Prince sleep in the study room?¡± Nn Ye intentionally blinked his eyes, putting on an aggrieved tone, ¡°This Prince said, as long as you¡¯re not willing, This Prince will absolutely not force you. Do you still not believe in me?¡±


    There was a bit of trust and Luo Qing Luan shockingly discovered that she really didn¡¯t find it that repulsive to share the bed with Nn Ye. As long as he abided to the rules and not act recklessly, it wasn¡¯t impossible for the both of them to sleep together. But.... it was just restricted to sleeping together, no other activities were to be done.


    Feeling bashful over the current thoughts, she hurriedly suppressed this thought as she puton a fierce look, ¡°Forget it, if I were really to chase you out, if anyone saw that they would say that I¡¯m too shrewish. But I¡¯m warning you, I can share half of the bed with you but if you dare to overstep the boundary, don¡¯t me This Lady for paralysing your body!¡±


    ¡°You actually bear to do so?¡± Nn Ye immodestly lifted up the nket so Luo Qing Luan could only nudged herself inwards as she spoke while frowning, ¡°Alright, half each for the both of us. The centre of the bed is the boundary so be honest!¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, we¡¯re all tired so let¡¯s hurry on and sleep. We¡¯ve already wasted half a day and we still need to wake up early tomorrow.¡± Nn Ye didn¡¯t said anything much as he directly covered himself with the nket and prepared to sleep.


    After a whileter, in the darkness, Luo Qing Luan made a sound, ¡°Ai, why are you moving?¡±


    ¡°The nket has been snatched by you so This Prince naturally needs to shift in a little.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve already moved inwards so why is your hand over here? Do you believe that I will pierce.....¡±


    ¡°This Prince is worried that you¡¯d be cold, so just hugging you to sleep only.¡±


    ¡°Let go of me Nn Ye. We agreed not to overstep the boundary but you actually.....¡±


    ¡°Be good, This Prince will absolutely not act recklessly. But you should stop moving, it¡¯s already 11pm to 1am in the morning so if you have anything else to say, speak tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Nn Ye, you dare to seal my acupoints?!¡±


    ¡°You must call This Prince My Husband, do you hear me?¡±


    ¡°Hah! You¡¯ve got to be kidding! Release me do you hear me!¡±


    ¡°If you speak anymore, This Prince will seal up your mouth.¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    A totally different atmosphere from Prince Chu¡¯s mansion, on the far West Chu¡¯s borders in a vast piece of wilderness, camps like stars in the sky lined up orderly. Even though it waste in the dark night, West Chu¡¯s soldiers who were on duty put out their utmost attention as their expressions appeared guarded against any possibilities of sudden enemy attacks.


    It had already been three months since Nangong Qing led an army of fifty thousand soldiers to this ce and they had engaged in various sized killing sprees and sneak attacks. Both parties had frequent battles and although North Yue had the advantage in terms of geographical topology, but since they had been defeated by the hundred thousand army which was led by Nn Ye years ago, sufferingplete defeat, they already had lingering fears. They would often harass themoners residing along West Chu¡¯s borders when the main forces weren¡¯t around but when they met with the regr army, they weren¡¯t able to cause any huge waves at all.


    The state of warfare had more or less stabilised, just waiting for North Yue Country¡¯s Monarch to sign the agreement that they would not repeat the offence and Nangong Qing would be able to withdraw his troops from the frontline and return in triumph.


    But right after he received news from the Capital, the usually unperturbed andposed man who didn¡¯t even have a change of expression when he was wounded at the battlefields suddenly underwent a huge expression change. Reading rapidly, he had already read the message in his hands and following that, his entire body started shaking, as his shock was incapable of increasing further.


    How could this have happened? How did this even happen!


    Hadn¡¯t Imperial Mother promised him that she would help him to seek Imperial Father to bestow this marriage? Wasn¡¯t Young Miss Luo going to be his Crown Prince Consort?


    But the news had clearly mentioned that Second Young Miss Luo Qing Luan from General¡¯s Mansion had been bestowed with marriage to Prince of Chu Nn Ye on the twenty sixth of the first month of the lunar year. Counting the timing, today was exactly the day when the two got married. This news was like a bolt of lightning, striking onto Nangong Qing dumbstruck.


    His trusted aide by his side didn¡¯t understand what had happened but when he saw the Crown Prince had an instant change in expression, he couldn¡¯t help but asked worriedly, ¡°Crown Prince, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡±


    What¡¯s the matter with him? What¡¯s the matter! His beloved girl had already be another man¡¯s wife and yet he only received this news only now! He had travelled so far from the Capital, leading the huge army to the borders to quell the disturbance just so that he could establish outstanding military service and return in triumph so ask Imperial Father to bestow Young Miss Luo to him, but now.....


    He was actually toote!


    Even if he extinguished the entire North Yue, it was useless!


    From the initial shock from reading the news, slowly turning into puzzlement and then into rage and finally bing anxious.... Nangong Qing wasn¡¯t willing to think, wasn¡¯t willing to guess. He only had one thought in mind and that was to hurry back to the Capital to ask clearly on what had happened. Young Miss Luo, was she coerced into it? Why was she bestowed by Imperial Father to Nn Ye?


    Thinking of this, Nangong Qing¡¯s heart burned up as he didn¡¯t even have the time to change out of hisbat robe and he hurriedly left the campsite to ride on his horse.


    ¡°Crown Prince, where are you going?¡± His trusted aide rushed over anxiously in an attempt to stop him.


    Nangong Qing brandished the whip and swatted it viciously onto the back of the horse as he turned his head back and shouted, ¡°Deputy General will take over the task of signing the agreement with North Yue Country¡¯s Monarch and everyone should listen to hismands. After everyone has been settled then return to the Capital immediately with no further dys! This Prince has something urgent so This Prince shall be leaving first.¡±


    ¡°Hah!¡±


    A horse¡¯s neigh was heard in the night as it dashed swiftly on its four hooves. Very quickly, it disappeared into the darkness.

 Chapter 106A - Nangong Qing returns

    <h4>Chapter 106A: Nangong Qing returns</h4>


    There didn¡¯t seem to be any difference after marriage. Other than a change in her residence, Luo Qing Luan still continued to do as what she always did, eat, sleep and make merry.


    Additionally she made Yuan Xin and Yong An return and the duo managed to find a ce in Prince Chu¡¯s mansion, responsible forpiling booklets. Sometimes Luo Qing Luan would go over to take a look and at the same time guide them on how to write. The duo¡¯s ears would turn bright red but they had no choice but to ask for advice humbly, in the hope that Luo Qing Luan would be satisfied with their performance and so that she would treat their illness sooner.


    Other than the minority few, no one else knew that the entire capital¡¯s ck market¡¯s most popr and most saleable erotic pictures and erotic novels were actually the works of ady¡¯s hand. But Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t mind at all. When she earned a huge amount of silver taels each month, she would turn even more resolute into the ideas of earning more money. She still had to look for more ways as money was forever never enough.


    After two dayster, it was the day of the bride to return to her parental home.


    Although Luo Qing Luan did not have any feelings towards the General¡¯s Mansion, but there was after all another old Madame Luo now. Moreover she had also heard that Hongyu seemed to be pregnant and adding on that the return was a custom hence she finally managed to prepare the presents to return back with Nn Ye early that morning.


    They had just alighted from the carriage when they saw Luo Cheng leading the butler weing them personally at the entrance. On seeing her, his face was piled with smiles, ¡°Qing Luan¡¯s back, father has waited for you for a long time. Prince Chu... hur hur, quicklye in, please enter.¡±


    Nn Ye gave a slight smile as he voiced out, ¡°Father-inw please address me as Ziqing will do. I¡¯ve already married Qing Luan so naturally we¡¯re one family. Those appetions of the past seem too distant, need not stand on ceremony in private.¡±


    Luo Cheng went into a slight pause and instantly blossomed into a smile, ¡°Yes yes, what Ziqing said is right, we¡¯re all one family.¡± Saying that, he was beaming with smiles as he turned over and looked at Luo Qing Luan, ¡°Your grandmother knows that you will be returning home today and had been waiting for you since morning. Quickly go take a look at her.¡±


    Towards Old Madame Luo, Luo Qing Luan was respectful towards her as she nodded her head, ¡°Yes, then Father, I shall proceed to look for grandmother. You and Nn Ye go one to have a casual chat.¡±


    Putting aside the General¡¯s Mansion¡¯s bustling and joyous atmosphere, Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru who had been keeping tabs on this side¡¯s situation had a different feeling after receiving the news.


    An entire three truck load of gifts, this was merely something which Luo Qing Luan had brought back home, rumoured to be prepared by Prince Chu Nn Ye himself. It included Damask Silk, bird¡¯s nest and ginseng, precious stones, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and more. There was even a tribute item, the Red Coral, which was bestowed by West Chu¡¯s Emperor. It was three meters in height and the value was ten thousand gold taels as it was treated as a present which was delivered along this round.


    ¡°I¡¯d not expected that Prince Chu would treat thatss so well, simply..... even His Majesty¡¯s bestowment had been given out.¡± Wang Xue Ru was feeling both envious and hatred as her entire face disyed a bitter resentment expression.


    Now she had been divorced by Luo Cheng and this was not revealed publicly because of face issues. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she still had a daughter, she would have long been reduced to begging on the streets. Thinking of this Wang Xue Ru was filled with so much hatred that she clenched her teeth. If it wasn¡¯t for Luo Qing Luo who had intentionally sabotaged her, would she havee to such an end?


    Although Luo Qing Shuang had found a temporary courtyard in Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion for her, but those servants had heard rumours on the reason on why she was divorced and forced to seek shelter with her daughter and son-inw so they were secretly gossiping about her behind her back. There were some who were bold enough to even ridiculed her secretly. To fall to a state of depending on her daughter, how could Wang Xue Ru not feel hatred?


    Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s hatred was simrly not any lesser than Wang Xue Ru¡¯s!


    The younger sister whom she had been bullying for more than ten over years had climbed over her head to be the respectable Prince Chu¡¯s Consort! As her elder sister, she was only a Prince¡¯s side consort whereas Luo Qing Luan was Prince Chu¡¯s imperial consort. Thinking of the difference in their statuses and that she had been a side concubine¡¯s daughter since young, how aggrieved she had been and how much she had lost out on, it just made her felt even more hatred and even more jealous!


    ¡°Luo Qing Luan, I¡¯ll never let you off and never admit defeat.¡± Touching her perked up belly, Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s face became distorted.


    As though she couldn¡¯t wait to raise her daughter¡¯s hatred, Wang Xue Ru could only depend on Luo Qing Shuang. The minute she recalled herself being schemed and was rolling around with that disgusting wild man, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up. That man was some hooligan whom she had made her underlings found casually from the streets. He had ugly looks and was extremely vulgar entirely, but in the end she had actually caused harm to her ownself!


    Wang Xue Ru grabbed Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s hand as she spoke begrudgingly, ¡°Qing Shuang, mother had fallen to this state is all because of you, you must help mother take revenge!¡±


    Saying that, her tears rolled down and it made Luo Qing Shuang felt extreme heartache, ¡°Mother, don¡¯t you worry. That little slut dared to cause you so much harm, this daughter will never let her off!¡±


    ¡°Right, right, you¡¯d better hurry to get someone to watch over them tightly, best if you can take action tonight.¡± Wang Xue Ru was extremely impatient, ¡°Doesn¡¯t Fifth Prince has some top exponents under him? Find someone to lure Prince Chu away then after thatss is left alone, abduct her back and I¡¯m going to sell her to a brothel!¡±


    ¡°Brothel, that¡¯s letting her off lightly!¡±


    Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s eyes were rounded as hatred started to grow while she gritted her teeth, ¡°It¡¯d be best if we can sell her to those unlicensed prostitute shops. There are perverted customers there by then so I¡¯d like to see how she is going to continue living! I just want to let her have a taste of what¡¯s called a living hell......¡±


    ¡°Shut your mouth, what rubbish are you two sprouting here!¡±


    Suddenly just as these mother-daughter duo were talking excitedly, a deep sullen voice was heard, shocking those two so much that they almost jumped out of their skin. When Luo Qing Shuang saw that the person who entered was Fifth Prince Nangong Chen, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    Nangong Chen¡¯s expression was cold and harsh and his entire luxurious dressing couldn¡¯t conceal his anger. His good looking jade like face was icy cold and his entire body emitted a bitter coldness as he said icily, ¡°This is the Fifth Prince¡¯s Mansion. You two are talking about these things in broad daylight, aren¡¯t you afraid that Nn Ye will hear about this, are you trying to get This Prince into bad luck?¡±


    Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru exchanged nces and stabilised their shocking thumping hearts and thetter gave a dryugh as she said embarrassedly, ¡°Fifth Prince, we.... We were merely casually talking. Furthermore we¡¯re in our own home so how could this be leaked out? Don¡¯t worry.....¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no wall which is imprable! Since you¡¯ve said that then you must take note that walls have ears. If you womenfolk words get This Prince into trouble, just wait to get into bad luck together! By then our properties will be confiscated, we will be decapitated and by then it will be toote for regrets!¡± Nangong Chen bore a shady look as he totally unleashed his anger without holding back.

 Chapter 106B - Nangong Qing returns

    <h4>Chapter 106B: Nangong Qing returns</h4>


    Totally ignoring Wang Xue Ru¡¯s obsequious smile, he lifted the hem of his robe as he sat down and looked icily at Luo Qing Shuang, ¡°This Prince had told you long ago, for you to stay in the pce to apany Imperial Mother but not only you not heed my advice, you even made your own decision to return, are you trying to spoil This Prince¡¯s n?¡±


    Totally not expecting Nangong Chen to be so upset, Luo Qing Shuang was gobsmacked as she immediately went up to him and acted coyly, ¡°Chen, don¡¯t be angry. I just thought that Mother might not be used to it at home, hence I came back to keep herpany.....¡±


    Before she could even finish her sentence, she was cut off by Nangong Chen, ¡°What¡¯s there to be not used to! Prince¡¯s Mansion is such a big ce and there are even people to wait on her, what are you worried about? No matter how not used to she is, your status is different now, unlike the past so you should exercise restraint and stop trying to growe baby moths out!¡±


    An unreserved range of words made Wang Xue Ru¡¯s face turned red then white, but there was nothing that she could say at all.


    On the surface, she was Nangong Chen¡¯s mother-inw, but she totally didn¡¯t dare to put on any mother-inw airs! If it wasn¡¯t for Nangong Chen¡¯s consent, she might not even have a ce to go to. Although her daughter is married to him, but even if she is pregnant, she still only has the title of Side Consort. If she gives birth to a daughter, her hopes of bing the Prince Consort would probably be just a dream!


    ¡°Yes.... What the Fifth Prince said is correct.¡± Wang Xue Ru stammered this sentence after some time and hurriedly left dejectly.


    Sweeping a look at her departing figure, Nangong Chen said apathetically, ¡°Qing Shuang, listen properly. Now that you¡¯re pregnant, other than entering the pce to apany the Imperial Mother, you should not be doing anything else. Especially to go against your sister! Now that she¡¯s married to Nn Ye, she¡¯s not just your sister. Even if I were to meet her, I have to be more polite and if you dare to spoil my n, don¡¯t me This Prince for bing hostile towards you!¡±


    Ever since she became pregnant, Nangong Chen seldom lectured her with a ck face. Luo Qing Shuang¡¯s heart turned icy cold but she totally didn¡¯t dare to show her feelings. This man was no longer the man in the past who whispered sweet nothings to her, not to mention saying that he would love her forever. The Nangong Chen now had his heart filled with gaining imperial power and even if she was now pregnant with his child, if she made a slight mistake, he would not give her any face as he hollered at her.


    Perhaps men were all the same, country was forever more important than beauty!


    Luo Qing Shuang lowered her head, not daring to exin herself, ¡°Yes, I know.¡±


    ......


    After a busy day, she had finally met with Old Madame Luo and Hongyu and when it was a quarter of an hour to 5pm, Luo Qing Luan and Nn Ye then bade farewell and returned back to Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion.


    The butler had been waiting since some time ago and he hurried up to wee his Master into the residence. On the streets, the hurried sound of horse¡¯s hooves was heard from a distance away and closing in as though something urgent had cropped up. Luo Qing Luan couldn¡¯t help but stopped as she looked towards the sound when she saw a maroon red coloured horse speeding over. On the back of the horse was a man who was travel-worn with a pale expression, as though he would fall down any second.


    ¡°Shhhh......¡± The man tugged the reins tightly and the horse gave a miserable cry at its front hooves raised high up and it finally stopped.


    The man jumped down from the horse and at the same time, the horse couldn¡¯t hold on any further as it slumped down.


    By now, Luo Qing Luan finally saw the person who had arrived was actually Nangong Chen. His entire body was trembling as though he wasn¡¯t able to stand properly. A pair of red pupilsid intently on her face, as though he didn¡¯t recognise her at all. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they were acquainted to each other, everyone around the Prince¡¯s mansion and Nn Ye would probably thought that she and Nangong Chen had some deep feud and he was here to assassinate her.


    ¡°Your Highness, haven¡¯t you gone to the border.....¡±


    Luo Qing Luan had not even finished her words when thetter only shouted out one sentence, ¡°Young Miss Luo.....¡± Later on, he totally lost strength and fell unconscious immediately.


    ¡°Things are bad, His Highness has fainted!¡±


    All the men from Prince Chu¡¯s mansion were in a flurry as they carried Nangong Qing into the Prince¡¯s mansion. Butler personally went to look for a doctor. Luo Qing Luan was just thinking if she should personally take a look at Nangong Qing when Nn Ye moved slightly and pulled on to her, ¡°No need to worry, he¡¯s just out of strength and overly tired hence he fainted. Let him sleep for an entire day and he¡¯d be fine.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan asked curiously, ¡°How do you know? I thought Crown Prince should be at the border and I¡¯d totally not expected him to suddenly appear here, is he here to look for you?¡±


    Nn Ye smiled but didn¡¯t say a word, but he was actually feeling grave. Although he had expected Nangong Qing to return sooner orter, but he had not expected him to return this fast. He had just been married for three days and Nangong Qing had alreadye back. The border and Capital was thousands of miles apart, so Nangong Qing probably had changed a few horses for several days and nights, before he finally reached back here?


    Just how dedicated was Nangong Qing towards his bride, which made him do such a thing!


    He wondered what would happen if he gained his consciousness?

 Chapter 107A - You will be blessed

    <h4>Chapter 107A: You will be blessed</h4>


    For an entire day till the next day did Nangong Chen finally wake up.


    His entire body¡¯s muscles were so sore and powerless that just moving it slightly caused a severe pain. Even more so was Nangong Chen¡¯s tummy as it was rumbling with hunger, causing him to give out a weak groan.


    ¡°Ah, Crown Prince has awoken! Crown Prince has woken up!¡± Suddenly, a high pitched voice rang by the side and there was shuffling of footsteps as various people starting calling out. Only then did Nangong Chen realise that it was his Imperial Father¡¯s Eunuch Lee along with two Imperial Doctors, serving him right by the side of his bed.


    Imperial Doctors carefully questioned in urgency, ¡°Your Highness is finally awake, do you feel ufortable anywhere?¡±


    Eunuch Lee hurriedly asked, ¡°Your Highness, His Majesty and Her Highness are extremely worried about you. Knowing that you¡¯ve fainted at Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion, they headed over directly. His Majesty and Her Highness had just returned to the pce and they wanted This Servant and the Imperial Doctors to stay on so when Your Highness awakes, we can report to them immediately. Your Highness, are you alright?¡±


    The Imperial Doctor took his pulse for a moment and a smile spread over his face, ¡°Eunuch Lee can inform His Majesty that His Highness is all right. He only needs to recuperate for a few days and it will do.¡±


    Eunuch Lee¡¯s smile flourished speedily as he stood up and bowed, ¡°That¡¯s great. This Servant shall now report to His Majesty immediately, in case His Majesty and Her Highness are too worried.¡±


    Hastily retreating, there were only two Imperial Doctors left in the room. Nangong Qing patted his dizzy head with much difficulty as he finally had a chance to speak out, ¡°Where is This Prince?¡± He looked at the unfamiliar surroundings but upon hearing that Imperial Father and Imperial Mother came over to visit him, he wasn¡¯t exactly sure on where he was at the moment.


    One of the Imperial Doctors replied, ¡°Your Highness is currently in Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion.¡±


    The other Imperial Doctor said, ¡°As Your Highness was previously unconscious, your servants do not dare to shift Your Highness around recklessly.¡±


    So he was still in Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion? Thinking of this, Nangong Qing turned around and tried to get up, ¡°Young Miss Luo.... Where is Young Miss Luo? I want to see her!¡± He was no longer able to control him. He had travelled from afar just to see her, to ask her what exactly was going on. Previously he had leapt onto the horse for an entire three days and three nights to rush back, but he had just seen her when his strength wasn¡¯t able to support him as he fell unconscious. Now that he¡¯s awake, he felt that he wasn¡¯t able to wait a second longer.


    ¡°Your Highness you can¡¯t get off the bed!¡± Both Imperial Doctors hurriedly stopped him, ¡°Your Highness had just regain conscious and it¡¯s at a time when your body is at its weakest so Your Highness absolutely cannot.....¡±


    Before the Imperial Doctor could say a word more, Nangong Qing had already pushed the Imperial Doctor aside, struggling to get off the bed. The Imperial Doctor hurriedly went up to stop him. Nangong Qing had originally just regained consciousness and his tummy was empty, just barely using one day to regain a little bit of spirit. This time as his actions were too intense, he directly rolled down from the bed and the two Imperial Doctors did not manage to catch him in time and were so shocked as they kept asking for mercy.


    Just as Nangong Qing rolled onto the ground, a lucid and elegant voice was heard, ¡°Is your Highness awake already?¡±


    Hearing this voice, Nangong Qing¡¯s brain suddenly went buzz. He had actually let the girl of his dreams see him in such a sorry state! He was now sprawled on the ground with a leg hanging by the side of the bed while the other was in the nket. Such an embarrassing posture... he just barely raised his head a little and he was able to see a long white dress in front of him, and indistinctively a delicate embroidery on the tips of her shoes.


    Luo Qing Luan had not expected to see such a scene when she entered the room.


    She heard that Nangong Qing had awoken hence she dropped by to take a look at him. When he was unconscious, she did not render any treatment to him because she knew he was alright. Now that he¡¯s awake, Nangong Qing might be slightly weak so she could help him nurture his condition but she had not expected that Nangong Qing was actually that anxious to run around the minute he woke up.


    ¡°Hurry and help His Highness get up.¡± Luo Qing Luan cried out and two servants immediately stepped up, coordinating with Imperial Doctors to help Nangong Chen get back onto the bed.


    ¡°Your servants pay their respects to Prince Chu Consort.¡± Two Imperial Doctors gave regards to Luo Qing Luan respectfully.


    Nangong Qing was originally looking straight at Luo Qing Luan when his heart jolted upon hearing what they said, Prince Chu Consort..... The Young Miss Luo whom he had been missing had already be Prince Chu Consort! It had merely been three short months and he had assumed that everything was foolproof but he had not expected that she actually married Nn Ye, and it was his Imperial Father who bestowed the marriage!


    His entire heart was filled with queries and Nangong Qing could not wait a second more to find out the answer. He held the headboard and cried out softly exhausting his energy, ¡°All of you fall back, This Prince has something to talk to Young Miss Luo.¡±


    Although feeling that Crown Prince¡¯s addressing towards Prince Chu¡¯s Consort had a problem, but the Imperial Doctors didn¡¯t dare to correct him as they and the few servants from the residence all retreated.


    Already knowing what Nangong Chen wanted to ask, but Luo Qing Luan had no feelings for him right from the start. Although she was slightly touched by Nangong Qing¡¯s feelings, but she just didn¡¯t love him. Moreover she had already married Nn Ye.


    ¡°Your Highness, let me take your pulse? You¡¯ve just regained consciousness and your body still needs nurturing.¡± Luo Qing Luan pretended not to know about it as she intentionally took his pulse.


    The words which he wanted to say were by the side of his lips but when Nangong Qing saw Luo Qing Luan by his side, and with a look full of concern, he stretched out his arm. After a moment, a soft and warm hand was ced on his wrist, making Nangong Qing¡¯s forcibly suppressed agitation gushed up yet again.


    ¡°Young Miss Luo, I......¡±


    Luo Qing Luo replied with an indifferent smile, ¡°Your Highness has travelled a huge distance and over exerted yourself. Although you¡¯ve already rested for an entire night, but you¡¯ve not totally recovered. If you trust me, I will write you a prescription and you will recover soon after taking it for three days.¡±


    Soft and gentle words with a slight smile, that elegantly contoured face was just right in front of him. There seemed to be a faint fragrance which drifted over making Nangong Qing turn a little dazed as he nodded his head in stupor, ¡°Yes, I trust you.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan replied, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go write down the prescription. Your Highness please wait a moment.¡±


    She was just about to get up when Nangong Qing¡¯s gaze abruptly shifted, as though he was afraid that she would leave him far away so he grabbed her wrist and asked anxiously, ¡°Young Miss Luo!¡±

 Chapter 107B - You will be blessed

    <h4>Chapter 107B: You will be blessed</h4>


    Her silhouette halted and Luo Qing Luan¡¯s gaze fell to see Nangong Qing grabbing onto her wrist. Thetterter realised what he had done as he reluctantly loosened his grip as he said embarrassedly, ¡°Sor, Sorry, This Prince momentarily lost self-control, Young Miss Luo please forgive me.¡±


    ¡°Your Highness might not know yet that I¡¯m already married to Prince Chu Nn Ye, I¡¯m no longer the past Young Miss Luo.¡± Luo Qing Luan withdrew her hand and suddenly looked back as she continued, ¡°You should address me as Prince Chu Consort.¡±


    Prince Chu Consort!


    Prince Chu Consort!!!


    Nangong Qing uncontroble emotions abruptly exploded as he burst out, ¡°Imperial Mother had inly promised me that she would look for Imperial Father to ask for bestowal to me, why have you married Nn Ye? Young Miss Luo, why, can you tell me why? Did Nn Ye coerce you, or did Imperial Father bestow the marriage casually, TELL ME!¡±


    Such agitation and so hurried, Luo Qing Luan discovered that she had thought too lightly of Nangong Qing¡¯s feelings for her.


    Nangong Qing already knew she had married Nn Ye and was already a married woman, but he still wasn¡¯t reluctant to give up. Could it be that if she said that she was being coerced then he would look for Nn Ye or the Emperor to cause a ruckus? Did he really love her to such an extent?


    ¡°Your Highness, please calm down.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan realised that she could not not exin, ¡°His Majesty didn¡¯t casually bestow the marriage and Nn Ye didn¡¯t coerce me, so don¡¯t think so much.¡±


    Nangong Qing¡¯s hand halted as he was not willing to believe, ¡°They really didn¡¯t? Then... then why did you get married to Nn Ye so quickly?¡±


    Completely unimaginable that when he left, Young Miss Luo seemed to have not met Nn Ye for a number of times? She had never liked him but on the contrary, she had been very gentle towards him. Furthermore he felt that Nn Ye was cold to Young Miss Luo and he even helped him analyse how he could sessfully marry her. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he listened to Nn Ye¡¯s words, how would he have possibly headed towards the borders to suppress North Yue?


    Suddenly, Nangong Qing seemed to have thought of something, could it be that this was a trap set up by Nn Ye?


    If it wasn¡¯t so, why did Nn Ye appear so cold towards Young Miss Luo in front of him, but after he just left, Nn Ye then immediately married her? He¡¯d never believed that there was no problem in between!


    ¡°If Your Highness is alright, then I¡¯ll get someone to dispense the herbs needed for the prescription. Your condition is not very good so please stay within the mansion to recuperate. We can talk further after you¡¯ve recovered.¡± Luo Qing Luo suddenly voices out, breaking Nangong Qing¡¯s guesses.


    The more he thought, the more unusual he felt as Nangong Qing couldn¡¯t help but asked, ¡°Young Miss Luo, I......¡±


    ¡°Your Highness please call me Prince Chu Consort.¡± Luo Qing Luan reminded.


    ¡°Luo..... Prince Chu Consort.¡± When this salutation was addressed, a sour feeling poured out from Nangong Qing¡¯s heart. His feelings were extremely heavy. She made him address her as Prince Chu Consort represented that she had already acknowledged this status and she willingly married Nn Ye. Moreover from her expression, there weren¡¯t any signs of being coerced. The more Nangong Qing looked, the more upset he felt as he already didn¡¯t know what else was there for him to say.


    Even if he questioned Nn Ye, what would it do?


    They had already married for several days, everything was all toote.


    Looking at Luo Qing Luan actively giving clear instructions to the servants, on how to prescribe the herbs ording to the prescription, how to brew the concoction, everything was exined in detail and her voice was that soft and gentle just like a stalk of crab apple. s she was no longer his, for this entire lifetime, she had already be another man¡¯s wife.


    After the instructions, Luo Qing Luan turned around and looked at Nangong Qing and saw that he was distracted as he hung his head low with a listless look. She had somewhat guessed something in her heart but it wasn¡¯t appropriate for her to console him. Surely she could not tell Nangong Qing that she and Nn Ye were just a married couple on the surface and there was actually nothing between them right?


    Nangong Qing¡¯s character wasn¡¯t too bad and as Crown Prince, he wasn¡¯t put on a hedonistic air nor was he unskilled. He also wouldn¡¯t use his status to suppress others and was indeed a good match for the position of future Monarch. But unfortunately, don¡¯t like means don¡¯t like, no matter how good he was, she still didn¡¯t like him. The two of them were at most friends and other than that, there was no other possibility between them.


    ¡°Your Highness please wait a moment, the medication will be served soon.¡± Luo Qing Luan said to him, ¡°Take a rest and if you need anything, just instruct them.¡±


    On seeing Luo Qing Luan about to leave, Nangong Qing suddenly opened his mouth, ¡°Wait.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan turned back, ¡°Is there anything that Your Highness still needs?¡±


    ¡°Young Miss Luo, I.... I want to ask you a question, I wonder if you....¡± Nangong Qing hemmed and hawed, not knowing how to open his mouth.


    ¡°Feel free to speak your mind.¡± Luo Qing Luan gave a slight smile.


    As though her words had given Nangong Qing enough encouragement, he hesitated for a moment and finally asked, ¡°Young Miss Luo, do you love Nn Ye?¡±


    Slightly frowning, Luo Qing Luan had not expected Nangong Qing to ask this question. Was loving Nn Ye or not that important to him? Although she knew that she did not love Nn Ye, but telling this to Nangong Qing didn¡¯t seem very suitable, instead it seemed to be insinuating at something else.


    She smiled, Since I¡¯ve already married Nn Ye, he is then my husband. No matter what happens, we will be alright.¡±


    Nangong Qing¡¯s expression darkened as he didn¡¯t speak a word for a long time. By the time he raised his head again, Luo Qing Luan was nowhere in sight. He sat on the bed as his heart was twisted, tossed and turned around and after a long time, his tightly clenched fists slowly loosened.


    Late meantte, no matter what he said, there was no more possibility anymore. Since she liked Nn Ye and was willing to be together with him for the rest of her life, he also wished for her to be blessed.


    ¡°Young Miss Luo, you will definitely be blessed, I guarantee that! If Nn Ye dares to let you down, I will definitely not let him off.¡± Nangong Qing¡¯s expression was solemn as he vowed silently, suppressing these unspoken withered feelings at the deepest depth of his heart.

 Chapter 108A - Wife sings and husband follows

    <h4>Chapter 108A: Wife sings and husband follows</h4>


    In the corridor where the wind was blowing gently, the mansion¡¯s lights flickered slightly as it swayed the shady shadows of the trees. Luo Qing Luan noticed that the servants had already handed Nangong Qing the medicinal soup so she led Dai Yue who was standing guard outside back to Ambrosial Violet Courtyard.


    ¡°Miss, looks like His Highness really likes you a lot.¡± Dai Yue whispered and started mumbling to herself, ¡°Too bad, Miss has already married Prince Chu.¡±


    Although she was considered part of Luo Qing Luan¡¯s dowry after marriage, but Dai Yue had not changed her greeting towards Luo Qing Luan. The other servants in Prince Chu¡¯s Mansion address Luo Qing Luan as Prince Consort but she has never changed how she addresses her, continuing to greet her as ¡®Miss¡¯.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter Dai Yue, I can tell that you¡¯re interested in Crown Prince?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan turned her head around and started at Dai Yue in a smile which wasn¡¯t a smile, ¡°Do you want me to take some time to ask him if he wants to take you as his concubine? But you¡¯re my dowry maid, so no matter how much you like the Crown Prince, we¡¯d still need to ask Nn Ye first......¡±


    Originally she was merely casually asking but Dai Yue had not expected her to be teased by Luo Qing Luan immediately as her face flushed red, ¡°Miss don¡¯t. Since when did I like Crown Prince, I was merely asking out of curiosity. Please don¡¯t ever go ask Prince Chu, otherwise he....¡±


    ¡°Could it be that you like Nn Ye instead?¡± Luo Qing Luan gave an enlightened look.


    ¡°Miss, what are you saying!¡± Dai Yue was so shy that she couldn¡¯t raise her head and stomped her feet as she covered her face and ran off.


    Looking at the flustered escaping bunny¡¯s figure, Luo Qing Luo couldn¡¯t stop smiling. Her face was just too thin, totally unable to take any teasing at all.


    ¡°Why, using your husband to tease your own maid?¡± Abruptly, a mellow and gentle voice rang not too far away. Seeing Nn Ye dressed in a dark robe with a jade buckle on his waist, he walked over with his hands ced behind his back with a smile on his lips as he smiled lightly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of her really liking me, will you be jealous by then?¡±


    Ever since the night of their marriage, Luo Qing Luo was even more guarded against Nn Ye. Not only did she make him sleep in the study room, she also usually refused to talk anything more to him. Although they had just returned to her parental home today and looked as though they were on amicable terms, but once they were in private, Luo Qing Luan totally changed her face.


    It was because that night¡¯s happening made her face flush red and heart pound wildly. Nn Ye this b*stard, he directly pressed her acupoints and hugged her for the entire night. Although the two of them didn¡¯t do any physical things, but having such intimate contact made her clearly felt Nn Ye¡¯s physical changes and if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had persisted on, she might really have been ¡®done in¡¯ by him.


    Hence from the second day onwards, she increased her vignce even though they were already married and had formally be his Prince¡¯s Consort, but Luo Qing Luan was determined not to appear anywhere together with Nn Ye. Including the visit to Nangong Qing, she headed over alone.


    Luo Qing Luan put on a straight face and said calmly, ¡°Dai Yue is originally my dowry maid so if she likes you, isn¡¯t it just nice? You can take her as a concubine anytime, and it¡¯d be totally justified.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re indeed jealous, Qing Luan you¡¯re so adorable.¡± Nn Ye totally didn¡¯t mind her attitude and as his palm lifted upwards wanting to touch Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face, thetter took a step back immediately as she frowned, ¡°What are you trying to do, pawing me like that! Move aside, I want to return to my room.¡±


    She absolutely could not let her defences down otherwise this man would immediately hit the snake with the pole.


    Flickering her sleeves, Luo Qing Luan walked straight on and Nn Ye followed her closely behind as he asked, ¡°That¡¯s right, have you just gone to see the Crown Prince, how is he?¡±


    Standing still as she turned back, Luo Qing Luan was just about to open her mouth when she realised that Nn Ye was right behind her and they almost collided! She swiftly took a step back as Luo Qing Luan¡¯s face turned gloomy, ¡°If you want to know how Crown Prince is, why don¡¯t you personally pay a visit to him and not ask me. This is your mansion, is there anything that you don¡¯t know?¡±


    He must have done it intentionally, following so closely behind hoping that she would collide into his arms?


    ¡°Qing Luan, you seem very angry. Who made you upset, surely it¡¯s not me right?¡± Nn Ye seemed astonished as he immediately added on asking with utmost concern.


    This stinky man, still trying to y the fool which made Luo Qing Luan itchy with pain. These few days, she had been maintaining her distance with Nn Ye but he kept acting like he didn¡¯t know nor detected anything. Now he even asked this intentionally, he really knew how to put on an act!


    She couldn¡¯t help but recall what happened that night and Luo Qing Luan calmed down, ¡°This Lady¡¯s temper has almost been magnanimous so how could I possibly get angry? No matter how despicable, vulgar and shameless someone is, This Lady will just ignore him and that¡¯s it. There¡¯s no need for me to waste my effort to get angry, it hurts the liver, understand?¡±


    She had just walked two steps when she recalled something and turned her head to stare at Nn Ye, ¡°Right, I¡¯m telling you, This Lady is about to step out for a bit, you¡¯d better not follow me. Crown Prince is still here and as the Lord of the mansion, you should naturally take good care of him, do you hear me?¡±


    ¡°I hear you, Qing Luan. What other instructions do you have?¡± Nn Ye asked.


    ¡°Nothing else, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Luo Qing Luan walked away without turning back.


    After a long time of not moving, Nn Ye stood at the original spot sending her off with his gaze as his lips curled up into a smile that wasn¡¯t quite like a smile.


    This new bride of his had been shy for so many days and now she¡¯s ignoring him so it seemed like she¡¯s embarrassed over that night. She¡¯s probably headed towards Heavenly Dream Tower because she had agreed to meet up with Nangong Yu these few days. She had spent so much effort so how would she not do some pre-checks? He naturally had to follow her. Although she said that he¡¯s not allowed to follow her, but his reply was he heard her and did not agree to him not going.


    Since they¡¯ve gotten married, he naturally needed to follow his wife wherever she sang to, without any exception!


    ......


    Changing into a man¡¯s attire, Luo Qing Luan headed out of Prince Chu¡¯s mansion alone as she found her way easily to Heavenly Dream Tower.

 Chapter 108B - Wife sings and husband follows

    <h4>Chapter 108B: Wife sings and husband follows</h4>


    Night time¡¯s Heavenly Dream Tower waspletely different from the day. Human traffic flowed continuously and it was extraordinary bustling asmps aftermps of decoratednterns illuminated the night sky as though it was day time and numerous luxuriously dressed rich young masters and wealthy merchantscent voices mixed together with thedies¡¯ughing, turning the Capital¡¯s most expensive money squandering establishment bustle extremely lively.


    A bevy ofdies chattering together pleasantly as the cosmetics on their faces gave off a subtle fragrance. Behind this image of luxury life was based on innumerable currency piling up with one hand throwing money as though it was mud and the other hand raking in the gold.


    Luo Qing Luan was dressed up as an unremarkable green robed schr at the door and looking at the bustle in front of her, she was almost able to confirm that the new programme which would beunched in Heavenly Dream Tower a few dayster, would probably create another new climax? Probably a few hundred thousand of taels would be raked in again!


    The doorkeeper who was weing guests suddenly saw Luo Qing Luan as his gaze sparkled.


    By now, quite a number of Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s waiters anddies already knew about Luo Qing Luan and although quite a number of them were still not aware that Young Master Luo was actually ady, but they knew that Young Master Luo and their boss Young Master Yu were on very good terms. When the doorkeeper saw her, he immediately went up to wee her with a beaming smile, ¡°Oh my, Young Master Luo is here, this way please.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly and was just about to enter when she caught sight of a familiar figure at the corner through her peripheral vision, standing now too far away from her.


    Nn Ye, he actually followed her again?


    Seeing Nn Ye for that instance, her heart seemed to leap with joy for that one second but she had immediately intentionally brushed over it. Her expression was indifferent and Luo Qing Luan acted as though she had not seen Nn Ye who was walking towards her, as she turned around and walked into Heavenly Dream Tower immediately.


    Mama Du was just swirling her silk hanky around to serve the guests and the minute she saw Luo Qing Luan appeared, she immediately led her to the fourth floor respectfully.


    ¡°I happened to see Young Miss Luo when I was upstairs so I hurried over.¡± Nangong Yu smiled as he ushered Luo Qing Luan to take a seat and asked, ¡°Are you here to take a look at Yan¡¯er and the others?¡±


    ¡°Mn, there¡¯s just another two days to the officialunch of the belly dance so I¡¯m here to ensure that everything is on tip top condition.¡± Luo Qing Luan smiled.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let Yan¡¯er and the others prepare themselves.¡±


    Speaking to this point, Nangong Yu looked at Luo Qing Luan who was dressed in man¡¯s clothing and his expression turned slightly strange, ¡°Right, Young Miss Luo, haven¡¯t you just got married... forget about the past because you and Ziqing are not rted but now that you¡¯re already married, would Ziqing be willing to let youe to Heavenly Dream Tower?¡±


    Saying that, his gaze shifted as he was already looking at the staircase and immediatelyughed, ¡°I was just say, so you two indeed came together. You¡¯re really in rapport with each other.¡±


    He followed her again? Luo Qing Luan turned her head when she heard that and indeed saw Nn Ye walking upstairs.


    He really was indeed a piece of sticky candy which could not be casted away! She calmly retracted her gaze and didn¡¯t say a word as her expression remained unchanged. So what if he came? It wasn¡¯t her first timeing to Heavenly Dream Tower and not as if he didn¡¯t know about it. Even if they were married, he could not control her!


    Nangong Yu totally didn¡¯t notice the oddity between the two of them and had thought that since the both of them were married, they were really one family. He smiled as he stood up and walked towards Nn Ye, teasing andughing at the same time, ¡°Ziqing, I thought that Young Miss Luo came alone. She¡¯s here to see Yan¡¯er and the rest, don¡¯t tell me you are too? I¡¯ve already seen the style of Yan¡¯er and the others new dance and after you¡¯ve seen it, you¡¯d probably be smitten as well. Aren¡¯t you afraid of Young Miss Luo getting jealous?¡±


    The minute he walked upstairs, Nn Ye¡¯s eyes were filled with Luo Qing Luan only so he calmly replied, ¡°My eyes are only on Qing Luan, the other women have nothing to do with me.¡±


    ¡°Look at you, speaking as though it was the truth!¡±


    Nangong Qing heard that andughed heartily, ¡°Ziqing, you¡¯ve just got married so why are you so obedient towards Young Miss Luo?¡± He leaned closed to Nn Ye and showed him an ambiguous expression as he said softly, ¡°Ai, you were never like this in the past, since when have you turned into a wife ve?¡±


    He thought that Nn Ye would at least rebuke him with one sentence but who knew that he totally ignored him as he walked towards Luo Qing Luan and sat down in front of her. His peerless face naturally brought along a nicely set smile as even the expression in his eyes turned gentle, ¡°Qing Luan, you¡¯ve walked really fast, are you tired, drink some tea?¡±


    Saying that, Nn Ye picked up the teapot in front of him as he poured a cup out and ced it in front of Luo Qing Luo, ¡°Come, moisten your throat.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan took a look at Nn Ye as she said, ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty.¡± She couldn¡¯t even be bothered to say anything more to him. She directly asked Nangong Yu to let Yan¡¯er and the otherse out quickly. She wanted to see how was the effect of the newly designed costumes was with the performance.


    Somehow feeling that the two were acting a little strange, Nangong Yu really wanted to ask but the minute he recalled Nn Ye¡¯s temper and character, the words by the side of his mouth were forcibly suppressed. Forget it, it was best that he minded his own business, as long as there was money to be earned.


    Waiting for Mama Du to get Yan¡¯er and the otherdies out, Luo Qing Luan took a look at the ¡®belly dance costume¡¯ which she drew out already dressed on them, it was only the appearance and outlook which was different from the first time they did this. There was a new sense of allure and had also increased the amorous feel, as a single smile or scowl was extremely alluring.


    When Yan¡¯er led the ten overdies to dance the revised Wild Dance, the arms which moved as the bells tinkled, chains of beads on snow like skin made one¡¯s eyes follow the postures of their bodies as it moved, making Luo Qing Luo unable to not smile.


    That¡¯s right, this was the exact effect!


    Currently, Luo Qing Luan felt a fiery hot gaze looking straight at herself as she turned her head and saw Nn Ye! He actually wasn¡¯t watching Yan¡¯er and the others dancing, not even turning his gaze away as his eyes had been on her all the while. His gaze was not only filled with a smile, but also intoxicated with an intense love and bewitchment, totally different from the past cold and aloof him.


    Luo Qing Luan¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she couldn¡¯t help but turned angry and ashamed, ¡°Nn Ye, why are you staring at me intently for?¡±

 Chapter 109A - Luo Qing Luan’s unusual thinking

    <h4>Chapter 109A: Luo Qing Luan¡¯s unusual thinking</h4>


    Ever since they got married, Luo Qing Luan started to feel that something was wrong with Nn Ye.


    From the initial aloofness to the change in hister attitude into natural and calmness, this change was still rather normal hence she didn¡¯t find it strange. But ever since their newly wed night, she discovered that the things which Nn Ye said or did, including the expression he had towards her had all started to be different.


    Just like today!


    As though he was appreciating a piece of perfectly finished treasure, Nn Ye¡¯s eyes were fiery hot and intense. Luo Qing Luan seemed to have turned into several hundred thousand of gold in front of him, and Nn Ye was the scrooge. His hot gaze was totally unconceble making her feel totally ill at ease as she couldn¡¯t help but to refute him.


    ¡°Like to look at you.¡± Nn Ye¡¯s reply was as natural as it could be.


    He was actually that thick skinned!


    Her brows creased and Luo Qing Luan speechlessly turned her head around as she replied sulkily, ¡°Who wants you to like!¡±


    Smiling slightly, Nn Ye continued, ¡°You are my wife so should I like you? Qing Luan, I just like to look at you. It would be even better if you were to smile more.¡± Saying to the end, his lips curled into a slight arc, apparently being in a good mood.


    Nangong Yu who had initially not noticed suddenly saw and his mouth opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed into it.


    Surely not right, what was wrong with Nn Ye? Even if he was bestowed the marriage by His Majesty, how could his changes be that big? Hadn¡¯t he always looked solemn and spoke harshly to women in the past. Even if it was the Third Prince who adored him dearly and went to look for him, she was chased out of his mansion upon disagreement, thereby gaining the title of Iceberg Prince.


    Nangong Yu admitted that Luo Qing Luo was not bad looking and talented, but there were plenty of youngdies who had both beauty and talent in the entire Capital! For example Marquis Zuan Ping¡¯s younger daughter Yuchi Lianqing. She was also well versed in poetry, singing and other talents but Nn Ye had never expressed any interest at all. Why did he give Luo Qing Luan, his newly wedded wife special treatment?


    ¡°Zi Qing, you..... your rtionship, rtionship seems not bad eh?¡± He tried to probe.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Luo Qing Luan and Nn Ye opened their mouths at the same time but their reactions were exact opposites.


    Laughing dryly, Nangong Yu was also an intelligent man so how could he not tell what act these two were putting on? It was obvious that Nn Ye really liked Luo Qing Luan but Second Young Miss Luo was merely why, which was normal for ady and was as normal as it could be.


    Fiercely staring at Nn Ye, Luo Qing Luan had once again witnessed his insatiability.


    This man, she couldn¡¯t win in fighting, neither in schemes and he was still her husband in name. Forget it, ady doesn¡¯t fight with a man. At most she¡¯d just ignore him so just let him y his tricks on his own. She couldn¡¯t afford to offend him but surely she could avoid him right?


    Thinking of that, Luo Qing Luan ced her emphasis on Yan¡¯er and the others who had just finished dancing and giving them some advice including the movement in their expressions and formation and ces. The main focus would be on Yan¡¯er and the others served as a backdrop for her. Yan¡¯er listened carefully and the otherdies also enquired a little before they all went back.


    Just as she was prepared to check on the dancing tform¡¯s decorations, Luo Qing Luan suddenly got up and Nangong Yu opened his mouth, ¡°Young Miss Luo.....¡±


    ¡°Still addressing as what Young Miss Luo, shouldn¡¯t you have a chance in appetion?¡± Nn Ye who was by the side suddenly interrupted as he was appeared slightly displeased.


    Nangong Yu was stunned and immediately realised that Nn Ye was unwilling!


    He had always avoided making him angry so Nangong Yuughed embarrassedly, ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯re already married so it really isn¡¯t right for me to still address you as Young Miss Luo. The habit is hard to break so Ziqing please don¡¯t mind me. Prince Consort, I have another matter which I¡¯d like to discuss with you, I wonder.....¡±


    Luo Qing Luan nced at Nn Ye as she spoke out calmly, ¡°Second Prince, we have our own dealings so why are you bothering about others for? Up to you if you want to address me as Young Miss Luo or Worthy Little Brother Luo, I don¡¯t mind at all.¡±


    ¡°I mind.¡± Nn Ye immediately objected.


    ¡°You.......¡±


    ¡°Qing Luan, you¡¯re my wife so the others should all address you as Prince Consort, isn¡¯t that right?¡± Nn Ye met her eyes and immediately changed into a smiling expression, so exaggerated that it was a totally different face from when he faced Nangong Yu, as though he was a different person.


    ¡°Can¡¯t be bothered about you.¡± She simply had nothing to say to Nn Ye so Luo Qing Luo just let him do as he wished.


    Turning towards Nangong Yu, she asked him what he wanted to discuss and thetter took a look at Nn Ye, finally re-addressing her as Prince Consort. Nangong Yu mentioned that that set of clothes which she designed previously and asked if it was possible if she could think of any other exquisite designs, best if it were a range of normal clothing which could be supplied to those aristocraticdies or princesses to wear.


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve just taken a look at the drawing which Prince Consort drew, but I can sense that you have the ability in this aspect. If possible, This Prince had a Brocade Manor which specialises in manufacturing clothes so when the profits are raked in, I will naturally not forget Prince Consort¡¯s part.¡± Nangong Yu said and his attitude seemed extremely sincere.


    ¡°You wish for me to help you design clothes for those aristocraticdies and princesses to wear?¡± Luo Qing Luan was instantly filled with interest.


    She was just about to look for other avenues of money making and she had not expected that someone actually sent it to her doorstep. When one was sleepy, someone actually sent a pillow over, moreover it was a trustworthy familiar friend!


    Nangong Yu nodded his head as he continued, ¡°Mn, Brocade Manor is one of the threergest clothes manufacturers and the business is considered alright. Ziqing knows about this as well.¡± Looking at Nn Ye who was also listening attentively, he replied firmly, ¡°Brocade Manor¡¯s customers are targeted at the rich people in the Capital. No matter if it is in terms of material or the embroidery works of those tailors, it must be the absolute best. The profits raked in monthly are around ten thousand taels or so.¡±

 Chapter 109B - Luo Qing Luan’s unusual thinking

    <h4>Chapter 109B: Luo Qing Luan¡¯s unusual thinking</h4>


    ¡°This is not only the Headquarters of the Capital, there are also other branches of the Brocade Mansion all over the various provinces and districts and the total annual ie adds up to about a hundred thousand in profit. So if we are able to further improve the designs, we are sure to attract the current customer base to bring in new customers so the business will be even better.¡±


    Looked like Nangong Chen¡¯s thinking wasn¡¯t formed only today. Luo Qing Luan smiled a little as she said, ¡°Second Prince¡¯s clothes manufacturing business¡¯ main customers are those officials¡¯ wives and wealthy young misses?¡±


    Nangong Yu replied, ¡°Does Prince Consort have any different ideas?¡±


    Luo Qing Luo thought for a moment and said, ¡°Your thinking isn¡¯t too bad but I feel that although there are plenty of wealthy people in West Chu but they basically buy in limited quantities, just two to three pieces each time isn¡¯t too bad at all. But during festive seasons, purchasing in bulk quantities for the young misses or rtives and friends are also counted as well.¡±


    ¡°If Second Prince can think of a way to attract various prefecture¡¯s clothing merchants with you being responsible for supplying them bulk quantities of clothing, the pricing can be set at a lower discount rate. But once the quantity increases, your profits would be even higher. Furthermore binding those merchants together, we are making them help Brocade Manor doing sales on the surface, but at the same time we will also be advertising Brocade Manor¡¯s reputation and status, which will be even more suitable.¡±


    ¡°Prince Consort¡¯s meaning is......¡±


    Hearing until here, Nangong Yu suddenly understood something as he went into deep thoughts, ¡°Brocade Manor not only needs to retain its original customers, furthermore it also wants to convert the other clothing merchants to help promote sales?¡± He was thinking to himself if this was possible? Brocade Manor itself was in the clothing business and those clothing merchants were all in simr businesses so why would they put aside their own business just to help him promote, just earning a measly lower pricing?


    Luo Qing Luan smiled, ¡°Just this, had the Second Prince not considered this possibility before? As long as the clothing which Brocade Manores out with are guaranteed new designs and will forever be thetest styles which couldn¡¯t be found anywhere in other shops, wouldn¡¯t those merchants purchase from you? How many wealthy people are there in West Chu? What they mind is not money but face. They themselves are wealthy and have prestigious statuses so no matter if it was in terms of food or clothing, it only could be the newest and best quality which would then reflect their face! Even if the pricing is slightly expensive by a little, they wouldn¡¯t care about it, instead feeling that they are different from the others.¡±


    Anyone had the same kind of thinking and Luo Qing Luan was extremely clear that even if it was a simple piece of clothing, no one liked to wear the same design as anyone else which was known as ¡°resemnce in wearing¡±. It would be extremely embarrassing! Only through guaranteed exquisite design would enable them to grab the customers tightly in their hands.


    Nangong Yu¡¯s eyes turned brighter as he listened on and got even more excited, ¡°Prince Consort, you mean you¡¯re able to help design several exclusive clothing?¡±


    She had many different designs in her memories from theter centuries in various designs and patterns. Luo Qing Luan even recalled the material and essories that went along. It was exactly because of this which was why when Nangong Yu mentioned this point, she felt that the idea wasn¡¯t too bad as she could exhibit her superiority.


    ¡°Whether it can be done or not, we just need to give it a try. I¡¯ll draw a style out first and you can let your people try creating it and test it out first.¡±


    Luo Qing Luan prepared this as her third source of earnings hence she needed the aid of Nangong Yu¡¯s Brocade Manor to disy various exquisite clothing. As for the split in profits, she naturally would not stand on ceremony.


    Nangong Yu was also on track as he immediately responded, ¡°That¡¯s great, many thanks Prince Consort. If the effect is not bad, then I will split a portion of Brocade Manor¡¯s profits with you.¡±


    Temporarily not mentioning how much to split, Luo Qing Luan nodded, ¡°That would be great. As for the exact amount of profit distribution, let¡¯s wait until the first batch of clothing is sold before we decide, no need to hurry.¡±


    Nangong Yu was also curious on what kind of exquisite design would Luo Qing Luane out with as he immediately passed her paper and pen. When Luo Qing Luan finished drawing the design in a short amount of time, he received it and was overjoyed.


    ¡°This pattern.... It¡¯s so exquisite, it¡¯s my first time seeing it.¡± Nangong Yu smiled as heid heaps of praises on it.


    ¡°Mn, this is an abstract drawing method and in actual fact it is a rose. But it looks different from the ones which the tailors normally embroiders. This flower pattern is on the luxuriance side and is normally worn for important asions. At the same time we can add on some apanying essories to form into a series.¡± Luo Qing Luan applied the concept which she had read from her past life, changing into a term which Nangong Yu was able to understand, ¡°Let¡¯s give this set of clothing a name, temporarily it will be known as the Elegant Rose series. Red roses that rose and giving it an exquisite name, which is equivalent to a form of packing, will make it appear as extraordinary.¡±


    Nangong Yu listened with joy and interest as he couldn¡¯t stop muttering to himself, ¡°Elegant Rose.... Elegant Rose series? A set of clothing in the same style with apanying essories, is considered as a series? In future there will be many other series? Right, that¡¯s right, this idea is just fabulous, excellent!¡±


    Thinking that Brocade Manor would soon be the number one retailer like Heavenly Dream Tower in the Capital in the near future, he originally casually invited Luo Qing Luan to give an idea but he had not expected to reap such a reward. He couldn¡¯t help but look at Nn Ye as Nangong Yuughed heartily, ¡°Ziqing, you¡¯re really awesome, this wife of yours is so excellent, a genius!¡±


    Nn Ye was also shocked and surprised by Luo Qing Luan¡¯s unusual way of thinking as he proudly dered, ¡°Of course, just whose wife is she!¡±

 Chapter 110a - Heavenly Dream Tower is especially bustling tonight

    <h4>Chapter 110a: Heavenly Dream Tower is especially bustling tonight</h4>


    When they left Heavenly Dream Tower, Nn Ye apanied Luo Qian Luan in the carriage as it swayed slightly, asionally with the sound of hooves grovelling in the background. It was already veryte at night and having left the bustling Heavenly Dream Tower, the surroundings started to be quiet but Luo Qing Luo did not feel peaceful at all, instead she had a strange feeling.


    Not wanting to say anything, Luo Qing Luan intentionally looked out of the curtain slit as her expression was calm but she endured and endured until she finally couldn¡¯t take it. She turned her head backwards as she asked sulkily, ¡°Still looking! Have you looked enough?¡±


    This Nn Ye had been staring at her since they were in Heavenly Dream Tower which she could forget about. But now that they were in the carriage, he still continued to stare at her, did he really think that flowers were growing on her face, or was it so rare that she had grown a few more pairs of eyes?


    Luckily Nn Ye no longer acted like what he did earlier, speaking in a mushy tone. He gave a slight smile as that fair, good looking face revealed an unearthly temperament making one¡¯s heartbeat turned crazy, ¡°Why, you¡¯re blushing? Qing Luan, you¡¯re my wife and is it not nice for me to like looking at you?¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the bestowal, would I have married you? We have an agreement in the first ce, in front of outsiders I can forget about it, but now that there¡¯s only the two of us, don¡¯t go overboard!¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s eyes stared daggers at Nn Ye, bearing a dissatisfied tone.


    This little wife of his was slightly hard to chase, so he would need to put in more effort to make her develop feelings for him.


    With a slight sigh, Nn Ye nodded as he replied, ¡°Naturally would not forget, don¡¯t you worry. No matter what you want to do, I will not dabble in your affairs. You like to earn money, or head over to Heavenly Dream Tower, or create some clothing, I won¡¯t stop you, as long as you ensure your own safety, that will do.¡±


    Looking at his pleasant countenance which wasn¡¯t overly passionate and his speaking was considered normal, she started to feel slightly more rxed. She casted a sidelong nce at Nn Ye as she said calmly, ¡°That would be great but from your meaning, are you implying that I will meet with danger on the streets?¡±


    Nn Ye¡¯s brows congealed slightly as he voiced out, ¡°I don¡¯t really mean this, but.....¡±


    His eyes turned and he gave Luo Qing Luan a look as a smirk of concern grazed over his eyes, ¡°Perhaps you still don¡¯t know but His Majesty¡¯s birthday ising soon. Moreover the Four Kingdoms Congress will be held not too longter. This year the destination is just nicely set at Western Chu State. By then, it wouldn¡¯t just be Western Chu State, even East Wan, North Yue and even South Yue¡¯s people would all be there. Think about it, will it be peaceful?¡±


    His Majesty¡¯s birthday? And the Four Kingdoms Congress, what was that?


    Luo Qing Luan had never heard of this in the past, and even in her memories, there wasn¡¯t any record of this matter. She looked at Nn Ye¡¯s earnest look and knew that he wasn¡¯t joking hence she couldn¡¯t help but got curious.


    ¡°If it¡¯s just His Majesty¡¯s birthday, it¡¯s still alright but this time it had to be right before Four Kingdoms Congress so I¡¯m thinking that the other three countries¡¯ people would not miss this chance. Among the four Kingdoms, let¡¯s first put aside the number one rank¡¯s East Wan. The one which causes one headache is North Yue. Qing Luan, you should know why is this so, right?¡±


    Although Luo Qing Luan was not interested in the affairs of the kingdom, but to her, other than earning money, the next thing was to let her and the people who she was concerned about to lead a peaceful and happy life. But as there were just too many truths about North Yue so even if she intentionally didn¡¯t try to find out about it, she would still be able to understand it all clearly from bystander¡¯s bits and pieces of conversation.


    Her gaze lifted upwards and she saw that suave man dressed in dark robe frowning, ¡°How could I not know? Isn¡¯t it all because of you!¡± Although that was what she spoke out, strangely, she felt a sense of arrogance andcency in her heart.


    Five years ago, Nn Ye led the army to defeat North Yue and rewrote the Four Kingdom¡¯s ranking, allowing the original weakest Western Chu State to leap into second ce, just below East Wan Kingdom. This was Nn Ye¡¯s ability and Western Chu¡¯s pride. Western Chu¡¯s Emperor began to dote and trust in Nn Ye even further, giving him the status of riding high above everyone else but just one.


    In the past, Nn Ye¡¯s achievements were something which Luo Qing Luan knew about but she did not do anything about it then. But now at this moment, she suddenly felt proud as she shared his glory.


    That talented man who defeated North Yue was her husband, and furthermore he treated her in a special way as time went by. From the beginning that cold and distance became the adoration and pampering now, Luo Qing Luan herself felt that it was just too unbelievable. She didn¡¯t believe that Nn Ye was true towards her, just because his change was just too huge, hence it made her still unable to believe that it was true.


    But for all the things which Nn Ye had done for her, from the smallest thing was which was to look at her wholeheartedly, speaking sweet nothings to her to thergest matter of standing up for her, protecting her so that she would not be harmed secretly by Wang Xue Ru. All these convinced her that he was truly very good to her. This man who was revered, feared and admired by countless women had somehow turned into her husband and he even treated her in such a special way. Luo Qing Luan eventually wasn¡¯t able to treat the situation lightly as ripples started to appear at the bottom of her heart.


    Nn Ye didn¡¯t say much about his past achievements, only speaking in a concerned tone, ¡°Qing Luan, I hope you can slightly be a little more careful and protect yourself properly. Recently quite a number of merchants from various countries have arrived earlier in Western Chu and although we can¡¯t tell much on the surface but it wouldn¡¯t be that simple in the dark. I am not able to stay by your side to protect you at all times, so you have to take care of yourself and be more careful by then.¡±


    Pausing he asked, ¡°That drawing room of yours has more than enough people so why not let Yuan Xin and Yong An follow you around, that will make me feel more assured as well.¡±


    Although he knew that Luo Qing Luan¡¯s medical skills were particrly fine and when she made a move, even he was caught unaware but her only weakness was that she didn¡¯t know any martial arts, not even a little bit of it. If she met someone with ill intentions and moved swiftly, even if she had those knockout medicine or simr drugs on her, she probably wouldn¡¯t have the time to use it as well. He assigned Yuan Xin and Yong An to follow her around originally to ensure her safety. But he had not expected that they were assigned by her to earn more money for her, to draw those erotic pictograms and write some erotic stories.


    Thinking of this point, Nn Ye was totally speechless.


    ¡°If I allow Yuan Xin and Yong An to follow me around, does that mean that you will not stick around me anymore?¡± Luo Qing Luan¡¯s brows rose as she looked at him.

 Chapter 110b - Tonight Heavenly Dream Tower is especially bustling

    <h4>Chapter 110b: Tonight Heavenly Dream Tower is especially bustling</h4>


    Nn Ye sighed, ¡°Qing Luan, you really don¡¯t like me following you around that much?¡± Since when had he ever been despised by anyone this much? The minute that he thought of his newly wedded bride despising him, Nn Ye felt like he wanted to cry but with no tears.


    Seeing Luo Qing Luan silently staring at him with a look which depicted ¡®must you act like this¡¯, Nn Ye went into deep thoughts for a moment and finally nodded his head, ¡°Alright, as long as you allow Yuan Xin and Yong An to follow you around in future and not make me worry will do. But.....¡±


    Just up to this point, Luo Qing Luan thought that he had agreed, whoever knew that his topic took a turn, ¡°You will definitely visit Heavenly Dream Tower the night after tomorrow and I will be there as well. So I¡¯m just informing you in advance just in case you say I¡¯m following you. I just merely want to see that reformed Wild Dance.¡±


    Her eyeballs rolled back as Luo Qing Luan didn¡¯t know if what Nn Ye said was real or false, but since he used the excuse of dropping by to see the Wild Dance, then just let him go. She was filled with thoughts about the grandeur in Heavenly Dream Tower by then, wondering if it would be as bustling as thest time.


    ......


    Although Heavenly Dream Tower had only advertised two days in advance, unlike the previous time where they started promoting aggressively half a month ago, the effect was really not bad at all.


    As the Capital was bustling with activities recently, it wasn¡¯t just the majority who knew about Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s fame, just hearing that there¡¯s a fresh new programme which would beunched soon immediately gathered people in groups as they prepared to head over together. There were quite a number of emissaries and merchants who had arrived earlier who also took the chance to join in for rxation.


    Watching those people dressed in different attires which apparently showed that they weren¡¯t citizens from Western Chu, Luo Qing Luan felt rather refreshed.


    She sat on the fourth floor looking down towards the lobby where it was upied fully with guests. Although there was still two hours before the start of the event, there weren¡¯t much empty spaces left. Seated at the corners were basically people from other countries, which could be told easily from their dressing.


    North Yue countrymen had braided their hair since young and thedies braided their hair into ten over smaller its, their makeup was also different from Western Chu. Thedies were used to using light muslin to mask their faces and they loved to use various coloured gems to hang on their foreheads. Such a contrast in the styles of dressing made it easy to tell where they were from.


    South Yue Country and Western Chu didn¡¯t have much of a difference because the countries produced various kinds of spices and dyeing materials and South Yue¡¯s countrymen, ranging from the royalties to ministers and themon rich and powerful people and so, all loved using spices and incense. Generally a specially patterned small spice or scent bag would be seen hanging around their waists and they were likely people from South Yue. Especially for South Yue¡¯sdies from the royal family, they loved to apply various colours on their nails so just looking at their colourful nails would tell where they were from.


    East Wan on the other hand was the closest to Western Chu¡¯s folkways so it would take a closer observation before telling the two apart.


    East Wan¡¯s countrymen loved to embroider various totems on their clothes and it wasn¡¯t the usual flower, grass, fishes, worms, nts, birds kind of totem which Western Chu was used to, but someplicated and mysterious pictures. One look on the surface would not totally tell the two apart but in actual fact, East Wan had a set of ancient scripts which only the royalty would be able to recognise. Although the normalmoners also wore these embroidered totem characters clothes, but they didn¡¯t have the qualifications to recognise the words.


    Hearing Nn Ye telling her about how to differentiate all the various countries¡¯ differences, Luo Qing Luan merely observed for a short moment and could easily tell the difference.


    ¡°Looks like tonight¡¯s Heavenly Dream Tower is indeed bustling with life, so I¡¯m afraid that will earn a huge amount of money again.¡± There were at least merchants from East Wan seated at three different tables. Luo Qing Luan thought about the scer when Yan¡¯er and the others appeared on stage, they would definitely cause a hugemotion and by then, wouldn¡¯t these wealthy merchants from East Wan just stake a thousand pieces of gold in one throw?


    Although Western Chu and North Yue had a huge battle before, but the strongest East Wan took on the role of a bystander. At this uing Four Kingdoms Congress, Luo Qing Luan believed that East Wan would not remain as peaceful as several years before, so they would probably make a move?


    Nangong Yu as the owner, naturally sat by the side. For a man of his status, it wasn¡¯t suitable for him to show himself casually, otherwise there was a possibility of being recognised by others.


    Following the number of guests who had filled Heavenly Dream Tower, he even saw a few familiar faces like Exquisite Flowers Pavilion¡¯s boss and the real owner of the Maquige ce. The two of them actually changed their usualpetitive mode and sat at the same table. Just one look and he could tell that the two of them had already treated Heavenly Dream Tower as their formidable opponent, seemingly to hold the stance of joining hands together.


    On seeing that time is almost up, the lobby downstairs stood Mama Du appearing, who was dressed up to the nines.


    ¡°Wee everyone for gracing Heavenly Dream Tower. Tonight we will be pushing out a new programme which will guarantee everyone a breath of fresh air, absolutely surprised! I only hope for all lords and young masters here to not be stingy and to reward us well.¡±


    Mama Du¡¯s smile was like a radiant warm spring which glittered splendidly as she waved her silk handkerchief and said, ¡°Tonight the highest bidder will be able to select any one of thedies on stage who are performing to apany you. Of course, you should all know Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s rules, our courtesans sell their skills and not their body, so I won¡¯t delve into this any further. The program is about to start, so let¡¯s wee Yan¡¯er and the otherdies.¡±


    With a p, innumerable gold coloured kes slowly scattered down from above and under the bright lights reflection, it seemed like gold glittery stars were falling in their midst. Music filled with a foreign tone slowly yed and subsequently became passionate and enthusiastic, inciting the audience¡¯s curiosity and passion. They saw the middle part of the tform separating into two sides and each and every gorgeous youngdy dressed garishly and beautifully, revealing their arms and slender long legs slowly ascended onto the stage.


    Ten over young women adoring gold coloured nails with perfectly rounded bosoms and t abdomens along with perky jade butts were wrapped in short golden muslin skirts. Strings of beads rolled around their snow like skin making them appear even more bewitching. Needless to say, those roving gazes were filled with seductiveness. Just the merely ¡®universally shocking¡¯ attire caused an uproar the minute Yan¡¯er and the others appeared on stage.

 Chapter 111a - Gathering of the Elites from the Four Kingdoms

    Chapter 111a: Gathering of the Elites from the Four Kingdoms


    The entire Heavenly Dream Tower entered a state of frenzy.


    In the majestic stage above, ten over youngdies adorned in gold coloured costumes with roving eyes and elegant postures disying faintly discernible grace and enchantment vividly and thoroughly. The numerous men seated around them were all cheering insanely, shouting passionately as they looked on without moving their eyes. Some even opened their mouths so wide that they were practically drooling without detecting it themselves.


    On the fourth floor, Luo Qing Luan and the others were rather satisfied with this because this was exactly the effect which they wanted!


    Nangong Yu nodded his head consecutively, ¡°I thought it was merely dancing but even the music sounded so different, it¡¯s really too splendid!¡±


    This union of Wild Dance and Belly Dancing originally reflected a kind of foreign mien. Not only was the appearance and dressing different, even the music itself was extraordinary. Earlier when Luo Qing Luan and Yan¡¯er had a discussion, she already asked Yan¡¯er about the rted apanying music. The two of them discussed and improvised the whole thing and finally ended up with this piece of antique style yet totally different tune.


    Luo Qing Luan anticipated the valuation, wondering just what was the highest bidding price that the wealthy coulde out with. These wealthy merchants, Western Chu¡¯s government officials, even some schrs and Young Masters, all of their gazes were fixated onto Yan¡¯er who was standing at the foremost position with a passionate and wild gaze. Needless to think, basically everyone had their eyes on Yan¡¯er and the highest bidder would end up on the envy of all the other men¡¯s eyes, winning the momentarypany from Yan¡¯er.


    They don¡¯t even need to think of themselves as a frequent and weed guest, just purely drinking tea and chatting or enjoying a single dance would not be bad already. This was Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s rules and all courtesans treated their customers in the same way. But this rule not only did not anger the customers, instead there was a ¡®the best is not obtainable¡¯ mentality making the mob scrabble madly for the unobtainable, stepping on the breach to rece fallenrades.


    But just a mere chat and dance for Yan¡¯er to apany them tonight would require them to fork out tens of thousands of taels!


    ¡°Nn Ye.¡± Luo Qing Luan gave a slight smile as she turned her head around, ¡°If you were the one, how much would you be willing toe out with?¡± A curious sentence had just been posed when she realised that Nn Ye¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t quite there.


    He congealed his gaze as he sat there, his eyes glued to a certain area below with a fully concentrated look, as though he had been watching for a very long time. Longshes and a pair of dark and serene pupils radiated with brilliance within, disappeared within a sh. No matter when his posture would be straight and upright with a face as beautiful as the jade ornament making Nn Ye felt as though he was the limpid autumn waters on a snowy peak, giving off a distant and outstanding temperament.


    Luo Qing Luan was slightly curious on what Nn Ye was looking at?


    Following the direction of his gaze, she noticed a table in the corner of the lobby. Fourvishly dressed men were seated together and their table was piled up with dishes and wine but none of them moved at all, merely holding on to their wine cups as they grazed slightly over the entire scene.


    Luo Qing Luan took a few more looks and discovered that these four men bore strange expressions. Although Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s guests mostly didn¡¯t reflect much emotion on their faces but they were all flirty deep down in their bones hence one could tell more or less if they were out looking for pleasures.


    Whereas these few people were totally different as each of them revealed an arrogant temperament as their gazes were dim, asionally grazing past Yan¡¯er and the others on stage, but without that kind of astonished and excited look. Instead they gave off a disdainful expression as though they looked down on them.


    ¡°These few people..... are a little strange.¡± Luo Qing Luan said softly as her interest was piqued.


    Heavenly Dream Tower was originally a pleasure quarter so instead ofing here to seek pleasure in exchange of money, instead they put on a fake noble and virtuous look so no matter how she saw it, they just had a problem.


    Nn Ye¡¯s gaze turned and fell onto Luo Qing Luan with a changed expression. His gaze was gentle and his lips wore a smile as he questioned, ¡°Why, Qing Luan, you can tell too? Just from their looks, can you guess their identities?¡±


    Her lips curled upwards and Luo Qing Luan asked, ¡°Why, want to test me?¡±


    Just a few look at them and she could tell that these four had a problem. If she really wanted to find out, would she be afraid of not being able to guess it correctly?


    Although it was slightly far, but she had already tell that two of them among the four men had slightly restrained their gazes as their concentration weren¡¯t on the tform¡¯s performance, instead they kept noticing the surrounding movements so the status of these two should be the other two¡¯s guards or subordinates or so.


    As for one of the other two men, the one with slightly fairer skin tone who was dressed in a blue luxurious robe with an arrogant gaze. Especially when he looked at Yan¡¯er and the others, his lips bore a disdainful tug. asionally giving off the subconscious action expressed his identity even further ¨C This was a woman!


    A woman who was dressed in disguise as a man! Furthermore she wasn¡¯t someone from Western Chu State which could be easily seen through her essories and habits.


    ¡°These four people are all from East Wan, right?¡± Luo Qing Luan gave a slight smile as she stole a nce at Nn Ye as a smirk of delight shed past her eyes.


    ¡°How did you tell?¡± Nn Ye slightly nodded to acknowledge what she said was right, although he probed further.


    ¡°Although these four people have changed into Western Chu¡¯s clothes with an obvious intent to conceal their identities, but they didn¡¯t change out of their shoes. Take a look,¡± Luo Qing Luan expressed, ¡°These four people have amon point which is that the sides of their shoes all have hidden patterns. Mn.... now you can¡¯t see it because it¡¯s blocked by their clothes but sometimes when they move, it will show. Although I don¡¯t know what the special hidden patterns on their shoes mean, but at least I know it¡¯s the ancient script from East Wan Country, which is also regarded as their totem. Other than citizens from East Wan, other people would not wear this kind of patterned shoes.¡±

 Chapter 111b - Gathering of the Elites from the Four Kingdoms

    <h4>Chapter 111b: Gathering of the Elites from the Four Kingdoms</h4>


    pping his hands softly, Nn Ye praised, ¡°That¡¯s right, you are indeed attentive.¡±


    Hearing voices from this end, Nangong Yu joined in with interest, ¡°Sigh, Ziqing, what are you guys talking about?¡±


    Nn Ye gave a slight smile and took a look at him, with his gaze indicating for him to look down at that table of special guests as he said, ¡°Look at those four men, do you recognise them?¡±


    His expression changed as Nangong Yu apparently recognised them, ¡°They actually..... actually came to Heavenly Dream Tower?¡±


    ¡°Four Kingdoms Congress ising right up, plus His Majesty¡¯s birthday is just next month, so it¡¯s not strange for them to appear beforehand.¡± Nn Ye spoke with a deep meaning.


    ¡°Mn, not only them, the other two countries also have people here.¡± Nangong Yu¡¯s gaze shed past a sliver of graveness as the earlier passion from earning big bucks had already been concealed. In recement, it was filled with alertness and gravity with the preparation of an iing thunderous storm.


    Luo Qing Luan frowned, so Nn Ye and Nangong Yu all knew these four people? And he still asked her to guess!


    ¡°Hey, Nn Ye, who are these people?¡± She asked in a dissatisfied tone.


    Turning around, Nn Ye faced Luo Qing Luan once again as he teased her again, ¡°Qing Luan, you¡¯re so smart so without me telling you, surely you have already guessed it right?¡±


    ¡°Really want to test me? Although I don¡¯t know them, surely I can already guess their identities right?¡±


    Raising her chin proudly, Luo Qing Luan raised her chin to look at Nn Ye who refused to tell the answer but she was totally not going to take it lying down as she said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll make a guess. Let¡¯s talk about that blue robed person, she¡¯s actually a woman, merely disguising as a man and furthermore she is ady with a status. I only took a few looks at her and she had already touched her face three times. Other thandies who developed a habit of touching their own long hair, when they suddenly dress up like a man, they are not able to change the habit when their long hair has been tied up hence disying this subconscious movement. Of course, this isn¡¯t just the only point, the most obvious is she doesn¡¯t have any Adam¡¯s Apple and that¡¯s the main reason why I could tell immediately.¡±


    ¡°As for her identity and status, that could be told from the man next to her. The two men behind them put on alert and sensitive gazes, surveying their surroundings and this is a typical disy of personal guards so from here I deduced that the other two are their Masters.¡±


    Thisss had merely taken a few looks at them and had already analysed so much, she was indeed bright and quick-witted. Nn Ye smiled, ¡°Good, good, you¡¯re indeed This Prince¡¯s wife. Qing Luan, if you can guess that man¡¯s identity then I will really think you are incredible!¡±


    Not fleeting from a few praises from Nn Ye, Luo Qing Luan turned her head over with an astute look, ¡°If I am able to guess correctly, what reward will you give me?¡±


    Nn Ye smiled slightly, ¡°What do you want?¡±


    Luo Qing Luan replied without any hesitation, ¡°Very simple, don¡¯t you have a property along Changluo Street, that Azure Water Manor. Thisdy has taken a liking to it and wants to use it to do some business. If I guess it correctly, how about you give it to me?¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Nn Ye agreed to it directly. Whatever was his were all hers as well, so what was there to not bear to part with?


    A satisfactory pair of eyes narrowed as the mere thought of the Jade Pura Mansion wouldnd in her hands immediately, Luo Qing Luan answered immediately, ¡°Then I¡¯ll tell you, that man with the highest status should be East Wan Country¡¯s Crown Prince, am I right?¡±


    Not only Nn Ye, even Nangong Yu who was sitting by the side had a shock, ¡°Young Miss Luo.... Oh, no, no, Prince Consort, do you know Xiao Yuqi?¡±


    If it wasn¡¯t for this fact, how could Luo Qing Luan possibly guess the Crown Prince of East Wan, Xiao Yuqi¡¯s identity? Although she would tell that he was from East Wan, but there were so many influential and powerful people in East Wan Country so how could she possibly have guessed it correctly in one shot?


    ¡°What¡¯s so difficult about that? Since I can tell that they¡¯re from East Wan, and that the Four Kingdoms Congress is around the corner, if East Wan Country would send some emissaries, it would just be these few people. This man in front of us, just from his age and appearance would already eliminate quite a number of choices. Then looking at the jade thumb ring on his thumb, I recall that this is the symbol of East Wan¡¯s imperial power. Other than the Emperor, it would only be the Crown Prince who would put this on when he attended other countries to reflect his status. Since it was already so obvious, how could I possibly not tell?¡±


    Speaking of this, Luo Qing Luan directly pointed out to that blue robeddy disguised as a man as she said, ¡°Since Xiao Yuqi¡¯s identity is certain, then thisdy would be easily guessed as well. She is naturally Xiao Yuqi¡¯s beloved younger sister, East Wan Country¡¯s only Princess ¨C Xiao Ningyu. Am I right?¡±


    A seemingly simple analysis but spoken in such precision. Although quite an amount was due to luck, but if it wasn¡¯t for Luo Qing Luan¡¯s careful observation and knowing about East Wan¡¯s current state of country, plus Western Chu¡¯s recent state, it would not be guessed that easily. Nangong Yu truly admired her right from the bottom of his heart as he couldn¡¯t help but nodded, ¡°Indeed amazing, Prince Consort, This Prince really admires you. In the past I thought only Ziqing was such a demonic genius, but I¡¯d not expected that you¡¯re the same as well. You two are really apatible couple!¡±


    ¡°Now then you realised?¡± Nn Ye gave a delighted gaze which was totally unconceble.


    Rolling her eyes at Nn Ye, Luo Qing Luo continued looking downstairs as she spoke out, ¡°Since East Wan¡¯s people are already here tonight, I guess quite a number of people from South Yue are here too right? It¡¯s said that vice entertainment grounds are the best suited for gathering discreet information, so I¡¯m guessing that North Yue who regards Western Chu as their impassable foe would not run away from all these as well.¡±


    The three of them exchanged nces and started looking towards the entire lobby filled with guests. Looked like tonight¡¯s Heavenly Dream Tower became a gathering of elites from the Four Kingdoms, which was indeed bustling extraordinarily.

 Chapter 112a - Rare sight

    <h4>Chapter 112a: Rare sight</h4>


    Looking at the alluring group of Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s dancers dancing elegantly, the luxuriously dressed pale moon coloured man who originally should be filled with a dazed and bewitched look only gave a slight smile. His profound pupils glistered with a wise glint as his nose stood out like a hill while hisplexion was fair with handsome looks with outstanding temperament.


    ¡°Heavenly Dream Tower is indeed Western Chu¡¯srgest courtesan house, even the dancing is so special.¡± Raising the wine pot, he casually poured half a cup and sipped a little while smiling towards the young blue robed youngster beside him, with an extremely gentle expression.


    Fiercely staring at the dancingdies on stage, Xiao Ningyu took an angry look at the elegantly dressed man, ¡°Brother, you are East Wan¡¯s Crown Prince, how could these lowly courtesans even enter your eyes?¡±


    ¡°Yu¡¯er, look at what you¡¯re saying, since when have I taken interest in them?¡± Xiao Yuqi gulped down the cup of wine in his hands and put down the wine cup as he smiled, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who kept pestering me toe out and take a look, otherwise would we even be here? You also disregarded your princess¡¯ dignity and dressed up as a man.¡±


    Wrinkling her nose, Xiao Ningyu¡¯s mind popped out a handsome looking male figure.


    This time round, she and her Crown Prince Brother had arrived earlier in Western Chu State, although the main reason was for the Four Kingdoms Congress while the other was to send their well wishes to Western Chu¡¯s Emperor for his fiftieth birthday, but there was only one reason in her mind, which was to meet a particr someone of her dreams.


    A few years ago, that man had visited East Wan Country as Western Chu¡¯s emissary and he spoke frankly with assurance in a neither servile nor overbearing manner stating his requests which left everyone dumbstruck. It was an obvious request towards East Wan but he spoke with such incisiveness until the entire cab of ministers of East Wan didn¡¯t dare to continue on the topic with him. In the end because of his individual imposing manner and mour, they finally agreed to the conditions which seemed impossible.


    After that, Xiao Ningyu heard from her Imperial Father about this and under great curiosity, she secretly left to steal a nce at him. Just this one look left the undying impression of his mour and perfected suave looks deeply etched in her mind.


    But unfortunately, Xiao Ningyu had arrived earlier in secret because ording to the schedule which was submitted to Western Chu¡¯s Honglu Temple, she and her Crown Prince Brother should have just set off. Otherwise she would have used the reputation of emissary to look for that man to apany her sightseeing.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I can¡¯t appear publicly, Brother did you think I care toe here?¡± As they heard everyone discussing about Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s newlyunched program on the streets, it piqued Xiao Ningyu¡¯s curiosity. In the end it was a seductive dance with so many indecently exposeddies, which was something which she couldn¡¯t bear to even look at! Looking at those men with their lustful gazes, she was afraid that it would affect her wise and brilliant Crown Prince Brother.


    Just at this moment, the tform¡¯s dance was finally done and ten overdies made their freeze frame movements, surrounding Yan¡¯er in the middle. As though a slender and elegant peony, Yan¡¯er¡¯s face was flushed with a slight pink tinge as her roving eyes moved around and her ruby red lips curled up slightly, inciting innumerable wolf cries from the surroundings.


    Mama Du appeared and raised her hand to indicate for the audience to quieten down, ¡°Customers, this is Heavenly Dream Tower¡¯s newlyunched program, I wonder if it had satisfied you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really too amazing, every frown and every smile cannot stop me from loving her!¡± The audience started to shout out immediately.


    ¡°Mama Du, stop talking at length. This Master wants to know what¡¯ the name of this young beauty?¡± Another middle aged man who bore a wealthy look couldn¡¯t wait as he stood up with a huge pile of bank notes in his hands, ¡°I¡¯ll big five thousand taels, how about letting this young beauty to apany meter?¡±


    Mama Du¡¯s mouth was beaming from side to side, ¡°Oh my, Young Master Lee, you¡¯re talking about our Young Miss Yan¡¯er, she¡¯s tonight¡¯s main dancer.¡±


    ¡°Right, right, it¡¯s Young Miss Yan¡¯er. It¡¯s love at first sight for this Master here and I¡¯m willing to send this item up, just to request for some time alone to speak with Young Miss Yan¡¯er.¡± Immediately, another young man dressed in luxurious clothing holding in a folding fan voiced out with a slightly conceited expression, but the passion in his eyes was fixated on Yan¡¯er without moving at all.


    The audience turned and saw him retrieve a small box from his side as he opened it up and showed it towards Mama Du. It was actually a luxurious strand of pearl ne. Each pearl was around the size of a thumb and the crucial point was that each pearl was exactly the same size, under the lights it gave off a rainbow lustre around the beads, radiating the brilliance of iridescence. On one look, one could tell that it¡¯s value was a considerable amount.


    That young man saw the audience being captivated and gave acent smile, ¡°As long as Young Miss Yan¡¯er is willing, this Master has other rewards for her, Mama Du what do you say?¡±


    Yan¡¯er gave a slight smile and curtsied at him as her melodious voice like oriole sounded, ¡°Thank you Master for your bountiful love.¡±


    ¡°Wait!¡± Someone from the audience recollected his senses and another voice rang out, ¡°It¡¯s just a mere string of Eastern Ocean¡¯s pearls, what¡¯s a mere ten thousand taels? This beauty belongs to Heaven, rarely seen elsewhere by humans. Men, send over the gift which This Prince has prepared.¡±


    Such heroic spirit made everyone turn around one after another.


    On the other corner of the lobby was a man dressed in a dark patterned embroidered robe with a jade crest on his head as he gave a slight smile and raised his wine cup towards Yan¡¯er on stage while saying, ¡°Young Miss Yan¡¯er is too courteous, this Prince is from Second Prince from South Yue Country, Lin Xiaocheng.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re South Yue¡¯s Second Prince?¡± This time round, even Yan¡¯er was slightly shocked but readjusting her condition, she smiled as she gave her respects and sent her greeting over. The entire lobby¡¯s audience were shocked at his name. They had never imagined that a small little Heavenly Dream Tower had actually attracted South Yue¡¯s Second Prince, as they all started to whisper secretively.

 Chapter 112b - Rare sight

    <h4>Chapter 112b: Rare sight</h4>


    ¡°Look there quickly, that man over there is South Yue¡¯s Second Prince Lin Xiaocheng, he actually came to Western Chu?¡±


    ¡°I think the Four Kingdoms Congress which is held once every three years is about to start and this year it¡¯s held in Western Chu. So I¡¯m guessing that this is the reason why South Yue¡¯s Second Prince came?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d not expected that tonight Heavenly Dream Tower actually attracted the visit of South Yue¡¯s royal family! I heard that Lin Xiaocheng is pampered dearly by South Yue¡¯s Emperor and if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he wasn¡¯t born by the Empress, he would have be the Crown Prince long ago.¡±


    Lin Xiaocheng totally ignored the discussions around him as he waved his hand and immediately the men standing beside him took a palm sized wooden box over to Mama Du. He first gave Mama Du a stack of bank notes and when thetter took a look, she was instantly filled with shock and delight, ¡°Oh my, ten thousand taels! And it¡¯s all gold notes! Heavens, thank you Second Prince for the reward, thank you so much!¡±


    This had not ended there. His subordinated handed Yan¡¯er the wooden box and when thetter opened it, it was a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets. The lustre was a sleek emerald green colour with intense inseparable lush green, as though it would suck in one¡¯s gazes. Such a valuable bracelet was hard toe by, not to mention that this appeared in a pair today and definitely came at a price but with no buyers.


    Those people who recognised the good stuff started screaming, ¡°Heavens, that¡¯s Regent Jade, the highest quality jade among all jades, this pair of bracelets are absolutely worth a huge amount!¡±


    ¡°One bracelet is worth an estimate of twenty thousand taels. This pair is absolutely no less than fifty thousand taels!¡±


    Numerous people¡¯s eyes started to heat up as they took a look at theposed Lin Xiaocheng and took another look at the delighted Yan¡¯er, as all of them were feeling envious and jealous. He was no doubt South Yue¡¯s Second Prince, with an extraordinary deal which was the exact symbol of power, authority and wealth.


    While no one was checking, Xiao Ningyu looked upon Yan¡¯er disdainfully then turning her gaze to Lin Xiaocheng with an even more despicable expression as she said, ¡°Simply shameless, a Second Prince of the South Yue Country yeting to this ce and giving such a hand to a courtesan. Just the mere thought of that tells us that the quality of their Crown Prince is almost the same, how could they even bepared to you, my brother!¡±


    ¡°Yu¡¯er don¡¯t you belittle Lin Yixuan. Lin Xiaocheng is Lin Xiaocheng so he naturally cannot bepared to his elder brother and the two cannot bepared on the same level.¡± Xiao Yuqi smiled slightly as he teased, ¡°Moreover speaking, both you and I are also part of royalty, aren¡¯t we also visiting this courtesan house?¡±


    Xiao Ningyu pouted as her female demeanour was revealed totally as she feigned displeasure, ¡°Brother~ I¡¯m helping you speak up, how could you say that about me? We¡¯re just here to take a casual look, unlike those shameless men who are chasing after those beauties, they cannot bepared to us at all.¡±


    Saying that, her eyes went back to the tform as the gaze she threw onto Yan¡¯er became more and more disdainful.


    Wasn¡¯t she just a courtesan, intentionally wearing such revealing clothing to attract everyone¡¯s gazes, she was simply shameless. Unlike her who was truly an iparable remarkable beauty, the publicly acknowledged Four Kingdoms number one beauty! If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had disguised as a man, she would probably be stopped by the imprable traffic.


    ¡°Brother, looks like Lin Xiaocheng will be getting that woman tonight.¡± Xiao Ningyu suddenly gave a crafty smile as she turned around to take a look at Xiao Yuqi, ¡°I despise that lustful look of his, just see me y a trick on him!¡±


    His forehead creased and before Xiao Yuqi could even voice out to stop her, Xiao Ningyu already stood up.


    ¡°Wait!¡± A slightly tender voice rang which rmed the audience at thest minute. No one had expected anyone else to even dare to fight over a beauty with South Yue¡¯s Second Prince, moreover it was a refined and graceful beautiful youngd! When the audience saw that, their interests were instantly piqued as the lobby entered a state of uproar again.


    Xiao Ningyu stood up and gave a conceited smile as she said to Mama Du, ¡°What¡¯s a pair of jade bracelets, This Pri... Master offers a hundred thousand taels, just to speak with Young Miss Yan¡¯er.¡± Saying that, she casted a look at Lin Xiaocheng, with a total look of disdain in her eyes.


    Originally standing elegantly totally ignoring the audience, Lin Xiaocheng¡¯s expression changed slightly as apetitor popped out from nowhere who suddenly called out a high bid of a hundred thousand taels, instantly killing off his pair of bracelets.


    He had not even opened his mouth when his subordinates cried out in a sullen voice, ¡°Who¡¯s that, how dare you fight with our Second Prince?¡±


    ¡°Why would you care who I am? Hadn¡¯t Mama Du already exined the rules earlier, the highest bidder wins. This Master is willing to fork out a hundred thousand taels so if you are unconvinced, then bid again!¡± Xiao Ningyu put on a smile which didn¡¯t look like a smile. Just from her appearance alone, she was merely a fifteen to sixteen year old young master with a tinge of childishness on his face. With a polished face and ruby red lips told the others that he should have a huge backing behind him. Moreover from his aggressive stance, he was probably some royal descendant of some other country.


    With South Yue¡¯s Second Prince around as a precedent, the crowd didn¡¯t find it strange any longer so even if a Crown Prince popped out, it was just natural. After all the Four Kingdoms Congress was about to start so if the other three countries royalties had arrived, it wasn¡¯t an impossible feat.


    Seeing Xiao Ningyu and Lin Xiaocheng start bickering and even raising the big to a hundred thousand taels, Luo Qing Luan who had been watching the entire thing from the fourth floor had her interest piqued to even higher heights.


    She touched Nn Ye¡¯s arm and smiled, ¡°Tonight is even more interesting than thest round. The Princess from East Wan actually fighting over with South Yue¡¯s Second Prince over a woman on Western Chu¡¯s turf, this is indeed a rare sight!¡±
