The Princess And The Lord

Ming Yue Yin sticks to wear a red dress but the design is smoothened a little so less intimidating than her normal robes but it did not decrease her elegance and overbearing nature while Yang Xi Ying appears delicate and pure with her soft peach and white hanfu, Lory wants to kick Zhao Li Xin ass, with her two beautiful best friends no one would pay attention to her so why torture her with the pointless fashion show.

Lory's dark Fuschia color does make her look older but Lory's temperament is already thirty so it didn't look strange instead she looks quite charismatic with a hint of sophisticated air around her, of course, Lory is clueless about it.

Not long after Zhao Li Xin enters the main hall with Mong Ki and Mong Yi, Zhao Li Xin stare at Lory and gradually frowned, Lory knew someone wants her to change her style again, Lory raised her index finger and sternly said "NO!"

Zhao Li Xin scrunched his face and reluctantly swallow his dissatisfaction.

"I don't think this is a good idea…" Li Mo Zhen worriedly stares at his delicate wife.

"Hush!" Yang Xi Ying cut his words then she warns him with a glare.

Li Mo Zhen takes a deep breath and shuts his mouth, his wife is delicate like a rose flower but she has thorn and if he is not careful he would be pricked, but he like it! sometimes he wonders if he a masochist?

Ming Yue Yin notice Yuan Shao's gaze she looks at him and raised her chin "What?" it sounds more like a threat than a question.

Yuan Shao pretend he didn't notice and reply innocently "Nothing"

Ming Yue Yin squints her eyes 'good answer' she flicks her hanfu arrogantly "Should we go now?"

Lory raised her fist in the air excitedly "Let's go!" 

Yang Xi Ying grabs Lory's arms and giggles next to her while the tree men can only escort them until the front gate, they watch the two carriages left with a perplexed look.

Inside the carriage Ming Yue Yin, yang Xi Ying and lory stay in the same carriage while Ling Zi, Su Yi, and Su Feng in another carriage, it's a weird arrangement where the master and the servant didn't stay in the same carriage but Lory and Ming Yue Yin is not ordinary people, unlike other people they don't care about other people may think and Yang Xi Ying influence by them by a lot.

"So, what are we doing anyway while moon viewing, do we really watch...a moon?" Lory hopes this is not a boring event or she might fall asleep, she is the type of person who secretly sleeps during the principal speech.

"No, there would be dancing, singing and a few noble ladies would show their talent, this event is also purposed to look for the right consort for the prince so I expected for interesting thing happened" Yang Xi Ying smile mischievously.

"A lot of crazy girls would show off their talent and beauty in front of the Queen dowager, I heard the Empress and Princes Youya would be there too" Ming Yue Yin clapped her hand excitedly, she always love when girls acted like 'white lotus'

Unlike Ming Yue Yin and yang Xi Ying, Lory never involves political marriage she never attends a ball or party to find a potential partner, not like she allowed to, Fargo and Fred would demolished any men who try to get close to her.

Because of Lucient's 'unique' condition, no one interferes in this matter although this matter is one of the top priorities in everyone's mind because it determined the continuity of Lucient line. Sadly this matter cannot be force or manipulated. 

Lory who has a higher position even among the other royalty never learned or taught to curry other people's favor, being polite and respectful is enough for her. So this would be her first experience to see women fighting for the favor of the prospective mother-in-law and grand-mother in-law.

"By the way, is princess Youya have a fiancée?" Yag Xi Ying suddenly raised a question.

Ming Yue Yin shrug "Not that I know of"

"That's odd, she already seventeen she should have merry with someone right now" Yang Xi Ying find the matters are mind-boggling, normally noblewomen would already have fiancé sice they were thirtheen some even much younger and they got married after coming age ceremony so Princess youya situation is quite strange.

"Maybe today is also her turn to look for prospect husband, a lot of noble madams would attend this event too" saind Ming Yue Yin.

"She should be, it would not be good for her reputation if she passed the marriageable age" Yang Xi Ying face turn solemn as she speaks. Marriage is very important for a woman if the lady passed their marriageable age people would make gossip about her for being old and no one wants him to be a wife when that happened not only the lady's reputation is ruined even the family would be implicated.

Lory listening to their discussion with sour feeling, she truly feel bad for all the women in this world, they are no less smart and talented than the women in her old world but sadly the woman in this world have limited option about how they live their life, it was a very unfortunate reality.

"We're here," Ming Yue Yin said while peeking out of the window.

The event took place at Ping Yi Villa, this place is built by the previous emperor for his wife. Is a beautiful place with a man-made lake surrounded by a peach blossom tree, which is a perfect place for moon viewing. This place also close to the monastery so Queen dowager has an easier time when she visits the monastery. 

The guard stops their carriage to check the invitation, when they knew the identity of the people inside the carriage they not dare to postpone any longer, the guard courteously bow their head when Lory carriage passed. This behavior attracts people's attention, they got curious about the identity of the people inside.

When they pass the front gate they have to leave their carriage to enter the inner gate, it's normal for noble residence to have two gate for security measure, Su Feng, Su Yi and Ling Zi help their mistress to get off the carriage, Su Feng is arranged to serve Yang Xi Ying for today because she didn't bring personal servant and not bringing personal servant in this type of occasion would incite sneer from other people.

"Sister Su, Ill be in your care for today" Yang Xi Ying smiles gently.

"It would be an honor miss Yang" she replies courteously, Su Feng like the empress friends all of them are kind and honest people unlike other noble ladies who look sweet from the outside but rotten on the inside. 

Yang Xi Ying see the inner gate is almost as big as the front gate and it painted with gold, she is amaze how grand the villa is "Ping Yi Villa is more luxurious than I imagine" she said with low voice.

Lory nods her head casually "It's big" 

Ming Yue Yin chuckle when she heard lory bland reaction "Is that all you can say?"

"What? It is BIG, isn't it!" she didn't know what's wrong with her response.

Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying look each other and giggles, based on Lory disguised as an ex-maid she should reacted more, anyone should feel nervous, excited, and scared when they enter the residence of the Queen dowager, even Yang Xi Ying shows her admiration however Lory reaction is too weak, maybe it's time for Lory to updated her fake background.

The Su sister has to watch Lory for a while, after what happened in the Sanguan family manor all of them are distraught it took some time for them to calmed down. 

Then Ming Yue Yin told them what is that thing really is and they got even more scared, it was Ming Yue Yin words that snapped them back from their fear, Ming Yue Yin said to them: "I will not make thing hard for all of you because I know none of you ever face something like this, but I refused to run away, one way or another I will face that da*n Demon, I will not let Lory face this fight alone, because this is my world too, I live here, my people lived here, my Kingdom is here, so I will fight or I die fighting! it's your choice whether you stay or not"

Only then The Su sister remember what their duty is, their duty is protect the Empress and the Kingdom with their life, so what if they're dead for a woman to reach their status without depend on man or family is very admirable many women envy them, to be the empress shield and sword they has change their name and forget their past in exchanged they gained position that even man would die for, isn't this what they always dream of so why stop now, if that creature strong then they have to become stronger so they can protect their Empress.

Afterall, they would not fight alone aren't they, Su Feng darted her eyes at Lory back, she remember Lory could fight face to face with that creature and the empress said that lory still not regain all her power, isn't that mean they still have a chance to killed that thing beside Long Ming and Hei Shen King palace is on their side.

"Wow, everyone dress to the top huh" Lory turn out amazed by something else, she nudged Ming Yue Yin sleeve "That's is one hell of hairpin" Lory was awed with how many hairpins you can put in one head.

"Becareful not provoked her or she stab you with her hairpin" she jokingly said.

Yang Xi Ying giggles while listening to their jokes then she chimed in "If it becomes hairpin war the tree of us is deemed to lost" 

"Indeed..." Lory nods, the three of them didn't wear too much hairpin and yang Xi Ying style was influence by her that's why she only wears two small hairpins, compare to other ladies they clearly out of number.

The Su sister only shakes their head and Ling Zi covers her smiles, their mistress is too relaxed. they are sure there will be no ladies who dare to jokes around before they meet with Queen dowager and the Empress.
