Chapter 45: Princess Eleventh

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Qianqian led a cushy life in the Prime Minister Mansion with the protection of Feng Qing.

They cleaned the mess in Pavilion, Luo Qianqian asked Feng Qing to move a bed from other room to replace the one with the dead cobras in her room.

It was already evening when everything settled down, Luo Qianqian asked Xiao Yue to keep an eye on The First Lady and The Second Concubine, with that she said goodnight to Feng Qing and Xiao Yue.

Luo Qianqian now was lying comfortably on her bed, someone’s handsome face kept flashing across her mind.

His smile to her, his indifference to other people, his…

Luo Qianqian shook her head trying to force his images out of her mind.

Did she really fall in love with him? Well, that was the original plan, she just wanted to earn some points and go back to where she came from.

Love could be dangerous, sometimes fatal.

‘Yeah, Murong Yun was a very handsome boy, but you couldn’t make a loving just being handsome.’

‘Well, he was rich enough to just sit around all day, but Luo Qianqian! You gotta stay strong, don’t fall in love, you have other stuff to do!”

‘Money is important, but money is not omnipotent.’

‘Well, having no money is the worst.’

All different thoughts kept twirling and swirling in her mind, her mind now was a mess.

“Slap!” Luo Qianqian slapped herself on the face to think straight.

“Come on, Luo Qianqian! Time for bed! Stop this nonsense!”

Several uneventful days had passed in Prime Minister Luo’s mansion.

But this day, Xiao Cui confessed to false charge under torture that she was the one who put all the cobras and venomous insects, but The Second Concubine was the one who gave her this order.

The Second Concubine was not the type that just sat still waiting for death, she defended herself in a hard way, she even went to the length to commit a suicide to prove her innocence.

Finally Xiao Cui became the scapegoat, a loyal maid as Xiao Cui ended up being flogged to death.

Prime Minister Luo was so pestered by everyone, he had been avoiding both ladies recently.

Murong Xue paid a surprise visit to Prime Minister Mansion to remind Luo Qianqian that they agreed to see Master Lingtian the next day in case Luo Qianqian had forgotten about this.

“Here comes Her Highness the Princess Eleventh!” announced the eunuch.

Murong Xue was sitting in a sedan chair and looking around through a curtain made of sheer fabric.

Murong Xue ranked the eleventh in the royal family, she was the most favored princess, His Majesty had rarely said no to her, it was widely known across the whole country.

The servants rushed in to announce Prime Minister Luo the news that Princess Eleventh had arrived, Prime Minister Luo hastily marched to the gate to welcome her.

So did The First Lady and The Second Concubine.

“Greetings to Princess Eleventh.” the crowd kowtowed on the ground and greeted Murong Xue.

Murong Xue swept across them sitting on her sedan chair, she was playing with a little mirror in hand and she didn’t say “you may rise”.

The crowd was wondering, “What’s going on? Why Princess Eleventh looks upset? She is making this trip to find fault with some one in the mansion?”

Murong Xue had heard of how the mansion had been treating her sister-in-law, she was deliberately showing her attitude.

“Where is your Fourth Lady?” asked Murong Xue with indifference.

The crowd now were slightly rest assured, ‘Princess Eleventh and Prince Eighth were so close that chances were she was here to find fault with Luo Qianqian, she must be upset about it’ thought the crowd.

Prime Minister Luo pointed the way to Princess Eleventh, Princess Eleventh nodded and said to the crowd, “you may rise.”

“Thank Your Highness.”

Princess Eleventh asked the eunuch to lead the way to Luo Pavilion, she was so excited that she was about to see her sister-in-law.

She heard that her sister-in-law had got a puppy recently, she was dying to pet a puppy.

Seeing Princess Eleventh’s retiring figure, The First Lady asked, “Your Lordship, Princess Eleventh looks ill-intentioned, do you think she is here to find fault with Little Four?”

Prime Minister Luo retorted, “How could I know anything about that? Everyone, listen, don’t meddle in this business! Stay in your own room and mind your own business.”

The Second Concubine soon replied in a respectful manner, “Don’t worry, Your Lordship, I will stay in my own place with Keer.”

Prime Minister Luo’s face looked less clouded now, “Go back to your own yard now, no one is allowed to go to Luo Pavilion, Princess Eleventh is the most favored princess, no one can afford to offend her.”

“Yes, Your Lordship.”

In Luo Pavilion.

Luo Qianqian and Xiao Cui just bathed the puppy, Luo Qianqian was not good at coming up with names, she decided to call puppy “puppy”.

“Puppy, are you hungry?” Luo Qianqian put a drumstick in puppy’s bowl, “there you go.”

Puppy wagged his tail at Luo Qianqian as thank you. Then he dived in, but he was a bit carried away seeing this feast that he began to roll around on the ground.

“Puppy, don’t roll on the ground, we just bathed you.”

“Woof woof.” puppy picked himself up from the ground as if he had understood what Luo Qianqian just said.

Feng Qing was asked to do some chores when he was not cultivating martial arts.

Yep, chores, fetching water, laundry, doing dishes… …

Everything was quite new to him.

Luo Qianqian said brazenly, “Feng Qing, trust me, you will thank me when you get married. I’m doing this to you for your own good.”

Feng Qing was speechless.

Her Highness was purely wasting his talent.

But Xiao Yue was secretly happy about this for she could have some break.

“Here comes Her Highness the Princess Eleventh!” announced the eunuch.

Princess Eleventh?

Xiao Yue was so startled that she dropped the water basin in her hand.

“My lady, quit playing around with puppy, Her Highness the Princess Eleventh is here!”

Xiao Yue was so anxious, ‘Why would a princess come to Luo Pavilion? Is she here to start trouble with my lady?”

“Xiao Yue, just relax.” said Luo Qianqian to comfort Xiao Yue.

Princess Eleventh was Murong Xue, right?

‘She was just a sweet little girl who plays all cute on me.’ thought Luo Qianqian with a big smile on her face.
