Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine Chapter 82 - Step Aside! Bad Guy

Chapter 82 Step Aside! Bad Guy

The voice was strong and deep with a gentle and mild mood. Others might believe this man was a pious and kind prince with good characters in morality and ability, and he would be a promising one in the selection of the successor of the country. But in Qin Yunuan’s view, the man in front of her was a merciless executioner who killed people cruelly.

He was the Third Prince, Sima Ray.

In her last life, Qin Yunuan almost had no connection with this man, but in this life, the man always appeared in her life.

Although she disliked him, Qin Yunuan still stood up and gave an imperial salute to Sima Ray according to the rule of the imperial palace.

“Don’t be so polite, Third Miss of Qin Family.” Sima Ray smiled happily and wanted to support her to stand up. Crossing Qin Yunuan, he glanced at the very noisy distance, and then smiled to Qin Yunuan, “Third Miss, why don’t you join the talks of those maidens?”

Qin Yunuan noticed that the eyes of Sima Ray fell on Qin Yunzhuang just for a short moment as same as the eyes he laid on other girls. However, Qin Yunzhuang had paid much of her attention to here. She constantly looked at Sima Ray and Qin Yunuan, and felt very angry. Qin Yunzhuang thought that last time Qin Yunuan could enter the imperial palace under the help of herself, but now the situation was reversed. Sima Ray stayed closer to Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunzhuang could be beaten by anyone but that menial girl, a daughter of a concubine.

All dirty guys were collected here: the one who had many plots, and the other one who coveted Sima Ray. Besides, Qin Yunuan raised her head and saw Shangguan Yee stepping towards here along the path near the small pond.

Qin Yunzhuang raised her skirt and came closer with her little steps over the path paved by bluestone. She was pretending to tide up her tousy hair. Sima Ray had noticed that. He squinted at this artificial girl without a word. Apart from the Imperial Concubine Xian, he had met with many easy girls but seldom with the exceedingly pretty girl like Qin Yunzhuang.

People always loved to see beauties.

But at the next moment, this elegant beauty fell and disappeared. Qin Yunzhuang tumbled in a very ugly and impolite position. Besides, she fell exactly beside the feet of Sima Ray.

Qin Yunzhuang felt blind, only to feel hurt on her arms and fainting on her forehead. Her cheek, tip of nose and wrist were all on the dirt, which looked very uncollected.

Qin Yunuan sneered in her heart but pretended to care much about Qin Yunzhuang and stepped forward to support her. She said, “Ah, are you OK, sister? It is not so necessary to give such a formal salute to the Third Prince, Sima Ray.”

Some maidens nearby snickered with their handkerchief covering their mouths. It was rare to see the embarra.s.sed Qin Yunzhuang in such a ridiculous position.

Qin Yunzhuang gritted her teeth and patted off the dirt on her dress, and then tidied up the tousy chignon. She gave a very formal imperial salute to Sima Ray, which expressed that she was still the elegant and virtuous Grand Miss from the mansion of Grand Commandant. And then she said to Qin Yunuan in a soft voice, “It was not a very formal salute, my sister. It was you that reached your feet so far that I tumbled.” Qin Yunzhuang looked at Sima Ray with her delicate eyes and she seemed to feel wronged.

Qin Yunuan laughed, “My sister, what do you mean? You meant that I made you tumble on purpose just now? The Third Prince stands in front of us, and I dare not do that. Besides, all maidens here have watched what happened just now!”

Qin Yunzhuang only felt that her shank was hurt by a hard thing. Qin Yunuan stood nearby and Qin Yunzhuang believed that Qin Yunuan did not want her to come closer to Sima Ray. So finally, Qin Yunzhuang believed that it was Qin Yunuan who did that thing. Qin Yunzhuang raised her head slightly, “Is not you? Eh, it would have been OK if you had done that. You are my full young sister. I could understand you even if you had various thoughts.”

What Qin Yunzhuang meant was to warn Qin Yunuan did not care much about the Third Prince, or she would die.

Qin Yunuan felt so astonished that Qin Yunzhuang was now an overconfident girl. She pursed her lips and then said in a calm voice, “Sister, you knew why you tumbled just now. I do not want to explain more.”

Sima Ray just gave out a lazy smile, and then thought about that sweet dream. In the beginning, he did not know why he cared much about the girl who he had heard and met for only a few times. To be frank, he was attracted by the light temperament of her. She disdained him but he admired her courage.

Many maidens from governmental officials around here had good relationships with Qin Yunzhuang. At this moment, they must stand out to help Qin Yunzhuang. But before Qin Yunzhuang asked them for help, Shangguan Yee nearby came here arrogantly. She put her hands on an imperial maidservant lazily, satirizing, “Wow, it that Miss Qin? I have seen the whole thing just now. You tumbled due to some barriers on the ground. Humph, the world is fair. One who has done many bad things will get punished.”

Qin Yunzhuang tried her best to keep her elegance, but still squinted at Shangguan Yee, shouting, “What do you mean?”

Shangguan Yee felt a little bit proud, but still pretended to be panic by covering her mouth, “Ah, what did I say just now? Look at me, Miss Qin. I am too young to behave myself. I just speak it out when I think about it. Do not mind my behavior.”

Now Shangguan Yee also hid a dagger behind her smile. Qin Yunzhuang glanced at Shangguan Yee and then Qin Yunuan who seemed to watch a funny show now, and then she stared at handsome Sima Ray who was about to uphold the justice after everybody here had finished their quarrels.

“Today, it is the poetry feast, a cultured feast. All of you should not quarrel for this trivial thing,” Sima Ray smiled and then made an order to Liu Bao, “The dress of Grand Miss of Qin Family got dirty. You guide her to change another new one in the painting hall. You first dispatch people to light the incense in the painting hall.”

Liu Bao responded, “Yes.” But the poetry feast would start within a few minutes. The painting hall was not so far but Qin Yunzhuang must not have come back in time after she changed the dress and finished the makeup.

Qin Yunzhuang felt disappointed.

Qin Yunuan smiled in a mild voice, “Third Prince, you handle everything completely and consider much for my elder sister.” Qin Yunuan then glanced at Qin Yunzhuang consciously. As expected, Qin Yunzhuang felt a little bit happy, but she did not want to leave the feast now.

Shangguan Yee raised her eyebrows, shouting, “I think Miss Qin, you are not willing to leave. If you were absent, you would have no chance to please the Empress and Imperial Concubine Yun.”

Shangguan Yee’s prodding did work. Qin Yunzhuang turned back and her tousy chignon was unfolded. A bunch of index-finger-wide hair hung by her eyes. She raised the hair slowly and tried her best to keep her elegance. Ignoring the straight sarcasm from Shangguan Yee, she gave an imperial salute to Sima Ray and then said with her soft and mild eyes, “Thank you, Third Prince.”

Having seen that Liu Bao led Qin Yunzhuang to leave, Sima Ray glanced at those busy imperial servants in the distance. He said to Qin Yunuan, “The poetry feast is about to start, Third Miss, after you, please.”

Sima Ray bowed his fists. His fair face expressed incomparable elegance with inborn n.o.ble temperament. In this world, no girl could resist the charm of the perfect Third Prince of the country.

But Qin Yunuan just gave back a polite salute and said politely, “Third Prince, you go there first, and I want to talk to sister Shangguan for a while.”

Again, she refused him. Sima Ray felt a little bit stunned but still kept his smile. And then He said, “Fine.”

Now, there were only two people here, Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Yee, in a subtle phenomenon.

“Well done,” Shangguan Yee raised her head proudly. She stared at Qin Yunuan like judging a competent heeler, “Qin Yunzhuang was always overconfident and today I let all of you know how dirty she actually is.”

Shangguan Yee still felt angry about the involvement of Qin Yunzhuang with the dead Shangguan Rang. Since Shangguan Rang died, Shangguan Yee had changed her character much. She was self-willed and arrogant in the past, but at present, she was like a latent bald eagle. She would try her best to implement a more evil plan when she got the chance to hit Qin Yunzhuang.

Shangguan Yee said proudly, “I have changed the incense in the painting hall early. Just in a minute, everyone will see a lewd and shameless Grand Miss of Qin Family. I let you guide her to the painting hall and you managed to do it surprisingly. You are not a simple girl.”

Qin Yunuan squinted at Shangguan Yee. It was not an incident that Qin Yunuan tumbled just now. It was Leng Wu dispatched by Leng Changxi that did some tricks. As a master-hand, he could let a weak girl tumble even by just a small gla.s.s bead or a soybean.

Qin Yunuan had no interest in the plot that Shangguan Yee was longing to make to Qin Yunzhuang. But for the issue benefit to Baochuan and herself, Qin Yunuan had much interest. She turned back and responded coldly, “All would be OK if I could be clean all the time.”

Shangguan Yee nodded, “Definitely.”

Even if Shangguan Yee wanted to pull Qin Yunuan into the water, Qin Yunuan would have solutions to get back to the bank.

The poetry feast had started. When Qin Yunuan arrived at the feast, she exactly hear the high voice from the eunuch outside the courtyard, “Here comes the Empress, Imperial Concubine Yun, Imperial Concubine Duan, Imperial Concubine Yu and Imperial Concubine Xian.”
