To Fight Openly and Maneuver Covertly [1]
The Sky Snow Cat and the red spider, the difference in levels were too high. The Sky Snow Cat wouldnât be able to beat the red spider. It was weaker than the red spider.
Huang Bei Yue thought it was funny to look at. She couldnât hold it in so she covered her mouth with her hand while laughing. Dong Ling couldnât hold it in either.
âThird young miss? How did you come here?â A voice came from the back which belonged to someone who was sneaking around.
Dong Ling turned around and saw it was Pei Xiang. She then put away her smile and explained: âThird young miss came over here to see what happened.â
Pei Xiang answered with a low voice: âWhat happened? Itâs the eldest young master who had gotten in trouble. Who knew what he does every day? Thereâs no improvement and he only knew to cause trouble. This time he caused a huge trouble!â
The corner of Huang Bei Yueâs mouth tilted up, her expression indifferent: âWhat trouble did he cause?â
âI heard that the eldest young master was extremely reckless. He actually went to Anguo Gongâs Prefecture and stole the famous Lotus Flame Furnace!â When Pei Xiang explained, she was angry. Just before Concubine Qin was angry and that go her pinched! It had hurt so much!
Dong Ling pretended to be shocked: âLotus Flame Furnace?! Thatâs so daring! What was the eldest young master thinking? Anguo Gongâs Prefecture has a lot of power. Itâs not someone who he can offend!â
Pei Xiangâs face was indignant, âThatâs right ah, who knew what he was thinking! Concubine Qin was so furious! I think this time, the lord would harshly punish Concubine Qin! Concubine Qin will lose favor.â
Dong Ling comforted her: âDonât worry, Concubine Qin has Cheng Xiangâs Prefecture behind her back ah. Plus Concubine Qin is beautiful, she wonât lose favorâ
Pei Xiang raised her eyes and carefully looked at Huang Bei Yue before saying: âThird young miss, how about you let me follow you?â
âPei Xiang, with you at Concubine Qinâs side helping me, Iâll be more than relieved.â Huang Bei Yue turned around and looked at her. The white face revealed a simple and elegant smile.
Dong Ling added: âThatâs right. Without you, how can the young miss beat Concubine Qin? When the young miss is in charge of Princess Zhangâs Prefecture, youâll be the biggest hero.â
Pei Xiangâs face flashed over a happy expression and hurriedly exclaimed: âThank you third young miss! Pei Xiang will do her best to help third young miss!â
Huang Bei Yue nodded and gave a look to Dong Ling. Dong Ling smiled and grabbed a pocket of gold coins from her sleeves to Pei Xiang.
âSister Pei Xiang, use this money first. Young miss has rewarded you it.â
Pei Xiangâs eyes were almost straight and she widened her mouth. This is a whole packet of gold coins ah! Growing up this big, she had never seen that much money!
In the Karte Mainland, gold coins were the most valuable type of coins. The income of normal people, at most they would only have 20 something gold coins.
Yet when young miss had given her something, it was a whole packet of gold coins! There were at least 100 something gold coins!
âThank you, young miss!â Pei Xiang was so joyful she couldnât even close her mouth.
Dong Ling smiled: âKeep it safe, donât let anyone see it.â
Pei Xiang nodded her head rapidly and then lowered her voice to announce: âThird young miss, the problem that the eldest young master had caused will probably go out of hand. The Emperor will probably get to know about it too. No matter how much power the prime minister has, it wouldnât be more than the Emperors. Therefore, Concubine Qin might come back and beg you for your help.â
Huang Bei Yue raised her eyebrows: âBeg me?â
âWell right now, who doesnât know the Emperor has the third young miss in his heart? Plus the Crown Prince and Princess Ying Ye are also fond of the third young miss. One sentence from you is probably more useful than ten sentences from the prime minister.â
Pei Xiang tried to please her. Although it wasnât really pleasing since, after that dayâs palace banquet, the Emperorâs attitude about this was obvious.
