Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 82.1

Chapter 82.1 - A freak combination of coincidences

****

Lou Yun’er’s high pitched cry attracted a few glances as Lou Qingwu turned around to face her, “What happened?”

Lou Yun’er was in so much pain that her eyes became teary, “Big sister, she, she stepped on Yun’er!”

Lan Bai rolled her eyes, “Which eye did you use to see that I stepped on you? Don’t forget, you’re standing on master’s right side. This servant came in from the left side. So was my leg able to somehow curve all the way around and then step on your leg? Hmph.”

Wanting to scheme against her?

When she’d been a female slave, for the sake of fighting for a single bread roll, she’d fought tooth and nail to the death.

She’d already grown bored of playing with these leftover types of people.

To play this type of cliche with her, she didn’t have a chance in h.e.l.l!

“You, you, brazen!”

Lou Yun’er was so anxious that she was about to cry, “Big sister, she’s bullying me!”

Lan Bai, “Third, third, third, third miss, this servant, servant, wasn’t, wasn’t bullying, bullying, you!”

She’d purposely copied Lou Yun’er’s tone as she giggled.

Lou Yun’er was so angry that her face was pale and those n.o.ble girls near her, seeing her unable to control herself, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs as they snickered.

They’d probably never seen such a brazen servant before.

Lou Qingwu had a slight smile too and seeing that it was nearly enough, finally spoke. “Alright, Lan Bai, don’t tease Yun’er any more. She’s too young so you should let her have her way.”

“That’s right, even big sister said so, I’m young!”

“Oh, but this servant’s only a year older than the third miss. Are you really sure that you’re that much younger than me?”

Lou Yun’er’s big wet eyes started to pool tears, “You …”

“What did this servant do?” She puffed up her chest.

Lan Bai just hated these pitiful types of people.

Relying on how she was taller than Lou Yun’er by a head, she looked down her nose at her, seeing Lou Yun’er hopping mad below her with a gloating expression.

At this time, all those n.o.ble girls and official’s daughters were shaking with laughter, carefully using their handkerchiefs to hide their faces as they sneakily watched.

Lou Qingwu also turned around, seeing a man in a silk brocade robe stride in.

The man’s face was coldly handsome, his dark black robe complementing his handsome face and deep eyes with an imposing aura.

It was the second prince, Xiahou Rui.

He was closely followed by the seventh prince Xiahou Liuyun, and then the eldest prince, fourth prince, fifth prince and sixth prince.

Among the six princes, only the second prince Xiahou Rui and seventh prince Xiahou Liuyun were born of the empress.

The others were all born from different consorts.

Of them, the sixth prince Xiahou Yichen was born of imperial consort Ruan.

As for the other princes, they weren’t of age so they didn’t attend today’s rose hibiscus festival.

They were all elegant and handsome, and as they walked together, led the n.o.ble girls to all start to flutter with excitement.

When Lou Qingwu say these few people, her eyebrows furrowed.

From the moment that she’d stepped into the pavilion, she’d felt something was off.

Last year’s rose hibiscus festival consisted of n.o.ble married women with their daughters, as well as officials’ wives and daughters.

But this time, there were only the daughters attending and adding onto the appearance of the princes, this was obviously … a disguised blind date banquet.

Furthermore, when she thought of something else, her eyebrow furrowed deeper.

She was afraid that the empress wanted to take this chance to choose a consort for the second prince.

If he wanted the position of the crown prince, his marriage would definitely have to be a large affair.

But she didn’t want to enter these muddied waters.

However, somehow, without her noticing, in a freak combination of coincidences, she’d entered the palace at this time.

Lou Qingwu sighed lightly, resigning herself to her fate.

She’d been thinking things through just then so when she’d come back to her senses, Xiahou Rui and the other princes had already come close to her.

To her side, the n.o.ble girls all held their breaths, not even daring to speak.

When Xiahou Rui walked past Lou Qingwu, he stopped for the just the smallest moment as he nodded towards her.

His cold face, when he looked towards her, brought a hint of warmth that even he didn’t pick up.

TL note:

Total “coincidence”, uh huh. XHR’s pretty sly. Feng Yege needs to watch his back.
