Chapter 27: Crisis in the Villa Palace (4)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Jesus! How could Qi Sheng ask such beauties to wear those robes and skirts! Highlights were their breast and butt! What the hell would you view when they were wrapped up!

Qi Sheng was such a lame duck who were green and inexperienced. You only deserved to please Jiang shi who was as thin as a lath!

I was so regretful that I even wanted to beat my breast and stamp on my feet, how desperately I wished I could do something to the beauties.

How could the little girl know the bitterness in my heart, who still kept on chattering: “Your Highness, even if the Crown Prince can’t come over now, he still cares about you and wish you could take better care of yourself. He will come to see you in his spare time in the future!”

I was only distressed for the two foreign beauties, if only I were still in Eastern Palace. After all I stayed there for over half a year, and was familiar with people there. What’s more, all beauties were in my charge, which brought me extra advantages more or less.

But this was the Summer Palace! It was my first time to be here! I even didn’t know where his bedroom was!

“Well, Lv Li, do you think Qi Sheng will take those two beauties back home?” ‘I asked suddenly.

“That’s impossible!” Lv Li answered with absolute affirmation, in case I didn’t believe her, she pledged to say: “Your Highness, don’t worry. Those two bitches will never follow us back to the Palace! They were just the dancing girls who came from humble families in foreign nations. How could the Crown Prince take such low creatures back to the Palace! What’s more, even the Emperor wouldn’t take them back. There was no foreign concubine ever in the Palace!”

What Lv Li said made me extremely sad and indignant. If it was like what Lv Li said, Qi Sheng would leave them here after sleeping with those beauties. I can’t even take any advantages from it.

I felt depressed for two days, I tried many ways for peace myself. I didn’t leave those beauties behind until I played around with some maids from the Palace in the pool of water for more than half a day. Then Qi Sheng suddenly arrived when I was playing with the beautiful maids in the pool.

Lv Li ran towards me on a brisk pace. Mixed with surprise and joy, she told me, “Your Highness, Crown Prince is coming. He’ll be here soon.”

All the people in the pool were shocked. I was the first to react and shouted loudly, “Put on the clothes immediately!”

All the maids were towards me all of a sudden, who pushed me to leave the pool without saying a word. Lv Li held a piece of clothes as thin as cicada wing gauze to meet me up.

I was in a big hurry. Ouch! You were wrong! I asked you to put on your own clothes in a hurry so that your figure won’t be exposed!

By the way, Lv Li, was that a mosquito net in your hand?

While she put me on the mosquito net, she murmured constantly, “The figure of Your Highness is much more curving than those two foreign women. We must show it to Crown Prince.”

Jesus! Lv Li, could we not touch a sore spot?

I almost spouted a mouthful of blood. When I opened my mouth a little bit, a piece of rouge paper was then filled into the lips, Lv Li whispered in an urgent voice: “Your Highness, compress your lips.”

‘The lips my ass!’ I pushed away Lv Li’s hand in a great rage.

A maid’s chirping sound suddenly went in, “Crown Prince.”

I turned my head and saw that Qi Sheng had entered the room.

Other maids followed Lv Li to salute Qi Sheng and walked out the room in a quick time. In other words, I didn’t have enough time to find another robe to wrap me around, and there were only Qi Sheng and I left in the room.

I glanced up at Qi Sheng, feeling embarrassed.

Qi Sheng looked at me for a moment. At first he was a little stunned, and then became a little gloomy.

‘Oh my God! Lv Li must be kidding on me!’ The alarm went off in my mind. As a man full of experience in flirting, I naturally knew what such a look represented. And I knew better at this time no matter what did the lady do, men will have a different interpretation on it.

‘If you wrap up the robe, it means that you are shy and pretends to reject what you desire;

If you take off your robe, it means you are open and full of lust;

Even if you shout at him, “Don’t move!” He can understand in the way that you wanted something more thrilled…’

‘If you wander around in front of him with nothing but a veil, and then shouted: “I’m not seducing you!”

Who the hell would believe you? Why did you wrap a mosquito net on in front of him if you didn’t attempt to seduce him?’

After all, by this point, it was basically not about your behavior, it was about whether he wanted it or not

However, there was a certain amount of blood in a man, so it was difficult to supply for both ends of his body at the same time.

Meanwhile, in terms of my physiological advantages, my brain functioned much better than Qi Sheng’s. So I reacted to this situation a little faster than Qi Sheng.

“Your Highness, Yang Yan has been here.” I said calmly.

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment. He turned and sat down on the bamboo bed beside the pool.

I felt a relief. As long as his attention was shifted, everything would be fine! I continued to say, “He invited me to Taixing to play.”

Qi Sheng’s eyes slightly squinted and asked me: “How do you think about it?”

“There is no free lunch in the world, in case he wanted to get something from me.”

Qi Sheng dropped his eyes and was silent for a moment. Suddenly he said, “The Emperor suddenly concerned about Lord Ninth’s marriage today.”

I was shocked, asked: “And?”

Qi Sheng chuckled softly and said, “The Empress has chosen several young ladies for him to pick before she left the Palace, just waiting for Lord Ninth to choose the one to his liking.”

A question came into my mind: “Was Zhang shi’s younger sister among those ladies?”

Qi Sheng squinted at me with a slight surprise in his eyes and replied, “Yes, she is one of the candidates.”

Bathroom Lord had sounded me out for several times and Yang Yan attempted to invite me to Taixing. Without warning, the Emperor mentioned that he wanted Lord Ninth to marry a wife, while Zhang shi’s younger sister was among the candidates. I quickly went through all these things in my mind. In normal circumstances, Zhang family could not have married their two daughters into two rival camps, unless they had to give one side up.

And the one to be given up–was it me?

I couldn’t help asking Qi Sheng, “They are going to abandon me?”

Qi sheng said nothing but looked at me quietly.

How could it be? Last time when I went back to the Zhang family, the Grandma Mrs. Zhang urged Qi Sheng to hurry to favor Zhang shi more, so as to give birth to an imperial heir! How fast did they change their vote! Why? Because I was not pregnant yet?

Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feeling a chill on me and glanced at Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng smiled and said, “The heir was just one reason. Another reason was that Lord Ninth had suggested to Zhang family that you were a fake Crown Princess. The real Zhang shi had fallen into the water and already died. You were just the imposter manipulated by me behind the scene.”
