Lin Mengya who had completely lost her appetite got up and went to sit down by her study table to start reading a book.
Baiji and Baishao looked at each other and began to laugh to themselves secretly.
The princess they served was really something else.
Why should everything she ate not taste sour? If there was a bottle of vinegar inside her heart, how could she taste anything sweet?
With an empty stomach, Lin Mengya felt totally weak.
She would not have a sleepless night if Long Tianhao did not come to her last night.
Sob, sob, she was having a terrible headache and feeling all dizzy!
"Who had provoked our little woman here? Look at the deep furrows on your forehead. They could crush some mosquitoes to death."
Qinghu's voice sounded from within the room.
Lin Mengya lifted her head and saw that guy coming to life once again.
After Qinghu fully recovered from his injuries, he had turned into a much more mature man with poise.
He always pulled a straight face in front of outsiders.
He would only show his cheeky self when he was with Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya was suffering from a serious headache and could not be bothered about Qinghu.
She simply threw a glance at him and continued reading the book in her hand.
"Who are you mad at, lass?"
Early this morning, Qinghu could already sense jealousy in the air.
It was no wonder that the servants in the courtyard refused to enter Lin Mengya's room, so this was the reason.
Lin Mengya could not be bothered to respond to Qinghu's rhetorical question. Although no one else would have known of Long Tianhao's visit the night before, this cunning fox definitely knew.
"Common, don't be upset. How about I get rid of that woman for you?"
To Qinghu, all people could only put under two categories.
One category was those, whom he could kill, the other was those whom he could not for the moment. Lin Mengya was the only exception. Apart from her, everyone in the world could be eliminated.
"You are always talking about killing who and who. Aren't you afraid of being captured by the rulers? I'm concerned that you pollute my place."
Said Lin Mengya with a frustrated tone, frowning. It seemed a good idea for her to rest a little more.
"Hehe. Except you, who can subdue me? Come on, stop being upset. How about I bring you out to have some fun?"
Qinghu was making funny faces just so that he could cheer Lin Mengya up a little.
"I'm sorry. I need to catch up with my much-needed sleep right now."
Lin Mengya felt as if her head was going to explode. Why was this guy so chatty today? It seemed necessary for her to get her hands on some dumb-inducing medication from Baili Rui right now.
"You can't really get rid of your headache by taking a nap here. Come; let me bring you to a good place where you can have a better sleep."
Before Lin Mengya came out with excuses, Qinghu stretched out to carry her in his arms.
"Hey, it's not appropriate for a man to be so close to a woman!"
Lin Mengya struggled to break free and her expression was that of dismay and embarrassment.
All Qinghu did was to roll his eyes in disagreement. He did not really care if she was a woman.
"Woman? Is there any other woman in the world who is as tough and boring as you?"
Lin Mengya was struck dumb by what he said, and at this moment, she felt like castrating him.
This damn fox, just you watch out!
Lin Mengya gave up her useless struggles to get free and just let Qinghu carry her wherever he was going.
To her, Qinghu's was the person with the highest Kungfu skill she ever witnessed. Long Tianhao was not too bad as well. She wondered who was better if they were given a chance to fight each other.
Forget it; just let this guy be her transportation vehicle.
This experience of flying up and down was a rare one after all, especially when she was not having this experience as a captive.
"Alright lass, we're here."
Qinghu's voice sounded from above her head.
As Lin Mengya made a slight movement, she could feel something soft under her feet.
Were they not standing on solid ground?
She opened her eyes to check out where she had landed.
There was a field of flowers which seemed not to have any boundaries. There were flowers of all kinds of colors including pastel pink, pastel purple, and white, the three gentlest colors. They filled the entire place.
Where she was standing, there was a large flower bed made from intertwining flower stalks.
"It's so beautiful!" exclaimed Lin Mengya. She had outgrown her younger days when she still held child-like idealism about romantic feelings. However, which girl would be able to resist such a romantic place?
"Isn't this place beautiful? I've found this place on my own. Even if there are others who had discovered this place, they won't be able to get into the flower field without being skillful in light footwork.
Qinghu did not review the entire truth to her. Apart from the flower bush, there was a deep valley nearby.
He had accidentally stumbled upon this beautiful fairyland when he was once being ambushed by his enemy and in frenzy took an unknown path and fell off the cliff to end up there.
"This is so wonderful! The flower bed is so comfortable."
Lin Mengya looked all around in surprise. She felt as if she had been totally surrounded flowers in the field.
The flower bed was soft, fluffy and thick, so much so that there was no worrying about falling off from it. It was as if she was in some fairyland or at the top of the clouds.
"Since you enjoy this so much, you can take a nap here. Rest assured that with me around, I will make sure nothing disturbs your rest."
With a leap, Qinghu disappeared into the flower bushes immediately.
Catching a last glimpse of Qinghu as he disappeared, Lin Mengya could not help but felt touched.
This guy had always surprised her with these gestures.
Lying on the flower bed, Lin Mengya spread out her arms and legs in a relaxed manner. Staring into the blue sky and taking in the fragrance from the flowers, she felt her mood lifted.
What was the point of her reacting this way? After all, her marriage with Long Tianhao arranged by Long Tianhao would one day come to an end.
What difference did it make for Long Tianhao to have another woman from the western foreign land? Long Tianhao was after all a grown man and he did have his needs.
Moreover, he was a prince. She would not believe him if he claims that he did not have any female confidante.
She turned to her side, yawned and was gradually overcome by sleep while taking in the fragrance from the flowers.
Just when her breathing became heavy and steady, numerous flower petals floated towards Lin Mengya.
In an instant, Lin Mengya's purplish figure was completely covered by a thick layer of flower petals, leaving only her head exposed and she was apparently deeply asleep.
While Lin Mengya went into dreamland among the flowers, the Prince's Mansion was in a big commotion.
Early in the morning, Hongyu, the lady presented by the western foreign land as a gift, found her way to Liuxin Courtyard to pay her respect to the princess.
Lin Mengya was obviously not in the house. The servant girls were unable to find her after combing through the entire place.
Left with no other options, they settled the lady in the next door hall, while Lin Zhongyu kept her company.
The thing was Lin Zhongyu did not have a good impression of this woman who made his big sister upset and jealous.
After serving the woman some tea, Lin Zhongyu did not even bother to say any pleasantries, but sat on the chair, staring into the book in his hand.
Although Hongyu was only 18 years old, she was very tall and charming.
She had large eyes and a sharp nose. She was definitely an outstanding beauty by Dajin's standards.
However, her expressive eyes were nothing like the clear eyes of Lin Mengya. Nevertheless, she had undergone the special training to be desirable to man.
"Young lad, may I know why the princess refuses to see me?"
After going through an entire training, Hongyu was completely adapted to the language spoken in Dajin. She was speaking it fluently without any accent.
"I guess you don't have a say in whether my big sister wants to see you. You're not in the position to question it."
Lin Zhongyu lifted his eyebrows and gave the woman a cold look. There was nothing from her head to her toes which was comparable to his big sister.
On the other hand, Hongyu was secretly taken aback when she saw Lin Zhongyu's appearance.
Although he was yet a grown man, it was apparent from his delicate features that he would eventually turn into a good-looking man, much more charming than many handsome men in the western foreign land.
What a handsome young man! She wondered if this big sister of his was a beauty beyond imagination.
In that instant, she understood the reason His Majesty picked her, who was the most outstanding of the troop of dancers, and presented her to Prince Yu.
Prince Yu was such a lucky man to have free access to beautiful women.
"Yes, Hongyu won't go beyond my limits."
Was he not merely a guest staying in the Prince's Mansion? What made him behave like a master of this mansion in front of her?
Hongyu suppressed her dissatisfaction and kept it in her heart. She was confident that she would become Prince Yu's vice Princess with her seductive skills, by then...
"Please leave to go home, Miss Hongyu. Our mistress is not feeling well enough to entertain any guest."
Baishao said courteously as she entered the hall.
Hongyu was surprised to see that even the servant girls working in this courtyard were also very beautiful. Now it seemed impossible for her to defeat the princess based on just her good looks.
Nevertheless, she thought she still stood a chance since she had undergone the necessary training.
In the whole wide world, perhaps there would be few men who could resist the qualities she had learned from her sisters.
Forget it. It would not be too late to come to see the princess the next day anyway.
"In that case, I'll leave and come back tomorrow to pay my respects."
Just when she was about to leave, she saw a lady in an elegant dress coming into the courtyard.
"Baiji, Baishao, Baizhi, where's the princess? Concubine De has asked for her."
Jinyue frowned and began to look anxious.
Early this morning, Concubine De had learned about the foreign lady whom the Prince brought back with him.
She was worried that the princess would be upset because she had only been wedded to the Prince for a few months and now the Prince was already having a new favorite.
For this reason, she had sent for the Prince to give him a scolding.
In frenzy, the Prince revealed that he was being thrown out of the princess's room the night before and this shocked Concubine De.
In that instant, Concubine De thought the princess's jealousy had gone overboard.
She thought it necessary to have a serious word with her regarding the prince taking concubines in the future.
She spotted the foreign woman adorned in bright and glaring foreign clothes walking towards her when she entered the courtyard.
Jinyue's face fell immediately at the sight of the bright clothes.
"Miss, I know that you've been newly brought into the mansion by the Prince, however, it was not appropriate for you to be wearing this bright red dress. Bright red dresses are only meant for the princess."
The smile on Hongyu's face froze.
She was outraged to learn that the princess would be hogging her favorite color.
Although she was fuming, she had to keep this inside her. She tried to suppress her anger and kept nodding her head in submission.
