The Story of a Stroppy Princess

"What! The dammed man is a spy!" Hua Yueling leaped to her feet.

Hearing this disrespectful words, Nangong Yixuan hushed her immediately and said, "Ling’er, don’t say that. If Third Brother was a spy, he would not donate ten million tales for the war against the Kingdom of Lanyue. Without it, the war may not end so soon."

’Gee, he is not a spy.’ Hua Yueling thought to herself that such a large amount of money spoke volumes about his patriotism. It seemed that she was wrong this time for at least the blood tie could not be ignored.

"Yes. Absolutely. Quite possibly, these places may be the undercover liaison stations arranged by the enemies in the Kingdom of Lanyue," uttered Ye You who, with knitted eyebrows, showed exceeding interest in cracking cases like this, as he had been following Fourth Prince since he lost his memories five years ago.

"It does make certain sense. See, the last sentence, does it mean that you have destroyed their plan and they want to kill you?" Hua Yueling showed Nangong Yixuan the gesture of cutting her throat.

"But how can it be! For half a year, we’ve only caught a few enemies who are of little importance. That is to say, we don’t possess any clue at all."Nangong Yixuan was lost in thought.

"There are still three pieces of paper which Prince has left in the hands of the Grand Preceptor； do you remember?" Looking at Nangong Yixuan, Ye You’s eyes sparkled with excitement, "Does it mean that Prince prevented them from moving on by catching their carrier hawks?"

"Wow, Ye You, you really astound us with your detective talent." Hua Yueling viewed him in a more favorable light for she had the same thought.

Ye You blushed at this unexpected compliment and retreated immediately, too shy to speak.

"Oh, come on, don’t be shy. I regard you as my brother, so just speak your mind. Don’t act like a bashful girl." Hua Yueling smiled heartily to him.

"Ling’er, I have to find the Grand Preceptor, and you will find me in your residence later." Nangong Yixuan twitched the corner of his mouth and hurried to turn the subject of their conversation.

"OK. But do remember to bring me the Soft Gold Vest. Otherwise, I will keep my mouth shut. Anyhow, fighting is man’s business." Hua Yueling never let go anything that concerned her own interest.

Looking at her indifferent face, Nangong Yixuan shook his head and hurried off.

"Ye You, let’s go home." Hua Yueling was beaming radiantly for today’s achievements.

"Yes, my Lady." Ye You replied in a low voice.

With the corner of her mouth twitching, Hua Yueling turned around silently and glanced at him who in turn looked at her. Ye You thought to himself that master was master indeed with a confident air.

Out of the Mansion, they came across two fancy sedan chairs.

"Gee, is this Third Princess? How come you come out of the Mansion of Fourth Prince?"The mockery had stung Hua Yueling so much that she stopped while tipping Ping’er a wink.

"My lady, it is Miss Wu, daughter of Minister of Rites, who once made fun of you and said you were a nympho,"whispered Ping’er.

Hearing this, Hua Yueling’s beautiful face became dull for she was encountered with such a barefaced mockery before she could even walk around for fun.

The two sedan chairs slowed to a stop. From the one beside Hua Yueling came out a fair lady who wore a fancy dress and so many luxury hair decorations, as if she was anxious to let others notice that she was born with a silver spoon.

From the other one came out a handsome, spare young man, who possessed himself quite a great deal of luxury and extravagance in a delicate dark blue brocade robe. What made Hua Yueling uneasy was his jeering smile.

"That is the Young Lord Wu, and he is very evil." Ping’er reported in a resentful tone.

The sister and brother walked straight towards Hua Yueling and refused to greet her with due respect. On the contrary, they cast insolent stare at her as if they were much superior.

"Hua Yueling, share with us your feeling as Third Princess."Wu Weiwei giggled with half-covered mouth.

"Third Princess? Who addresses you like that? You are no more than a loose woman. How dare you say your husband was undersexed if you have a little knowledge about his hanging around with so many girls in the whorehouse?" As a friend of Nangong Lieye, Wu Junsi gave full vent to his anger.

"Exactly! It’s so shameful! How come you have the courage telling the world your sex life! You deserve nothing but death penalty." Wu Weiwei gave out such verbal abuse.

"How could you...!" Ping’er was pissed off and was about to have a fight with them.

Hua Yueling stopped her and at the same time showed sympathy for the previous master of her body. How could the daughter of Prime Minister be scolded by anyone of inferiority? Obviously, it was she who devalued herself.

"Ping’er, tell me who they are." Waiting till they finished, Hua Yueling looked at them smilingly with her arms crossed before her chest.

"My Lady, they are respectively the son and the daughter of Minister of Rites." Ping’er had no idea why her master asked in this way, but she was much sure that today’s master was different.

"Hua Yueling, stop it! You surely know us. It’s better to say that you are thoroughly ashamed of yourself!" Wu Junsi sneered.

Hua Yueling released a more radiant smile and said in a soft voice, "Of course, I know! What puzzled me is whether the Prime Minister or Minister of Rites is in the upper echelon? I beg your answer of that."

First astonished by it, soon they burst into laughter and said,"Does your father take you into a slight consideration?"

"It’s really none of your business. Anyhow, I AM still the daughter of Prime Minister. Who gives you the guts to abuse me? Do you know what end is waiting for you?" Hua Yueling spoke in a rather grim determination.

"What are you going to do?"Wu Junsi dragged his sister backward when they two were shocked by Hua Yueling’s capricious mood.

Turning to Ye You, Hua Yueling said rather calmly with the corner of her mouth curved into a cold smile, "Ye You, it’s your time to show me your loyalty. I order you to beat them up, better beat the living daylights out of them!" Her glance would kill them.

With startled expression, Ye You stepped forward and replied,"Yes, My Lady."Although he hadn’t served his new master yet, he was quite fond of her outright way.

"How dare you!" Wu Weiwei waved her eight bearers of her sedan-chair to come over.

"There is no ’I DARE NOT’ in my dictionary. I am sorry, let me start with you guys! BEAT UP!" The unchallengeable air of the authority stunned everyone there. Hua Yueling was going to display a full exertion of her identity as the daughter of Prime Minister.

The obedient Ye You fulfilled his task so fast that Hua could only see the quick movement of a shadow, and hear screaming plus the sound of beating.

"My Lady, you’d better not..., and the Lord will..." Ping’er dragged her, who was immersed in this satisfactory show however.

"Will do what? Remember, my dad is not only Prime Minister but also THE uncle of Emperor! No one should abuse his daughter!" Seeing Ye You finish his job and back himself behind her indifferently after tidying up his black robe, Hua Yueling said with a snort.

"Hua Yueling, you, how dare you..." The sister and brother were beaten up so much that their swollen face was black and blue and their clothes were totally a mess as if someone had raped them.

"Tomorrow, you two have to make an official apology or you will have certain unexpected consequences waiting for you! Get out of my sight!"Hua Yueling obviously got the upper hand this time for no one had ever heard that an apology was required by the one who had given a hard beat.
