The Story of a Stroppy Princess

The next morning, it was slightly chilly in the air. The sun in the early spring just rose above the horizon, and everything was shrouded in the mist of red color.

Ping’er, who lay awake all night, took Hua Yueling’s letter to the Mansion of the Prime Minister early in a hurry.

Hua Yueling was still lying in a big bed lazily with soft brocade quilt covered. All these were her trousseaux.

When Hua Yueling was half-asleep, two maids, Xiao Mei and Xiao Ju, opened her door and came in. They both served in the Prince’s mansion.

“Your Highness, good morning. It is time to get up!” Xiao Mei said, approaching her bed. She laughed grimly at the lazy woman in bed. The light fingerprints on Hua’s face were still visible.

Hua Yueling slowly opened her eyes. Son of a bitch! The maids turned out to be as mean as their master. How dare they be so rude to the prime minister’s daughter, the emperor’s cousin?

“Put on your clothes. His Highness doesn’t want to see you anyway. But we can’t break the rule. The concubines of Prince will pay their respects to you,” said Xiao Ju, who opened the wardrobe and took out a deep blue brocade dress embroidered with white plum blossoms. Although it looked good, it was against the etiquette for a newlywed at the second day.

Hua Yueling rose slowly. She felt much better today, and finally got some strength.

She closed her beautiful eyes and then coldly looked up at the maids, which stunned them for a moment.

“Who do you think you are?” Hua Yueling gracefully stood up, who wore a white silken gown. She gathered her neckline and started to roll up her sleeves with a smile.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Ju glanced at each other. Xiao Mei said with a scornful laugh, “Of course you are the princess. But His Highness refuses to regard you as the princess. He told you to stay at Sunrise Courtyard tamely. You’d better listen to him, or we will report to His Highness!”

“You think you are still the precious daughter of the Prime Minister? Don’t be silly. You have been married, and your father feels ashamed about it.” Xiao Ju laughed and satirized.

“Really?” Hua Yueling had turned up her sleeves. She got out of bed, came to the round table, and picked up a fairly delicate wine bottle.

“Stupid!” Xiao Mei groaned, “Will you wear it or not? Do not blame us if others spot you improperly dressed. It’s none of our business!” She threw the dress on the bed and turned to leave.

“Bang!” A dull sound followed by a crisp noise; the porcelain wine bottle hit the floor and broke into pieces. And the smell of the wine pervaded the whole room.

“You! You!” Xiao Mei touched her head in terror. The blood on her hands made her eyes wide open. Pointing her finger at Hua Yueling’s beautiful face with satire, Xiao Mei slowly fell down.

“Ah! Murder! Murder!” Xiao Ju cried and jumped up with fear. Her face became blue with fear. As fast as she could, she raised her skirt and rushed out.

Instead of stopping her, Hua Yueling raised her beautiful eyebrow and went to the bed to put on the elegant skirt with plum blossom embroidered on it. Then she wore white brocade, belted at the slender waist. The perfect and coquettish figure satisfied her with a smile.

Walking towards the bronze mirror, she combed her beautiful black hair with a braid and put a suitable plum blossom shaped white jade hairpin into her hair. It looked plain but quite elegant.

Hua Yueling didn’t even look at the girl who was lying on the ground in a coma. Thinking of what was about to happen, she hid a golden hairpin in her sleeve and put a piece of paper with written words on the dresser into her arm. Then she walked slowly to the door.

As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she saw two guards hurriedly running in.

As they saw the elegant and dignified woman, they froze for a moment by surprise.

“Your Highness.” They looked at each other and saluted at once, their eyes full of disbelief. They both found her cool, sacred and inviolable temperament from her brows, so they were afraid to be presumptuous.

“Fine. The girl inside was too ignorant. Get her out of here.” Hua Yueling was satisfied with the behavior of the two guards. She knew that even if she was weak, she still looked as serious as ever when treating her offenders.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two guards rushed into the room and found the girl who was lying in the pool of blood. They were frightened because they had heard that the princess was quite gentle and virtuous. “How could this happen?” They wondered.

“Hua Yueling!” A deafening roar stopped Hua Yueling’s movement. “Quite fast,” she hummed.

In a black robe with python embroidered on it, Nangong Lieye rushed in indignantly. He looked like an angry lion, followed by a group of guards and a few beauties, as well as Xiao Ju, pale and frightened.

“You call me?” Hua Yueling showed a light and elegant smile. The brilliant small face just like the starlight took Nangong Lieye by surprise. He thought this woman had really changed, not like the cowardly and shy copycat before, but became self-confident. What happened to her?

Hua Yueling glanced at the women behind him. They were gorgeous and beautiful, just looking at her with the air of despising and excitement.

“Hua Yueling, how dare you beat her?” Nangong Lieye watched Xiao Mei brought out by the guards. The blood on her head startled him and he instantly burned with anger.

“Don’t make a mistake, Your Highness. I’m your princess now. Don’t you know the rules? Can’t the princess teach them a lesson? By the way, those concubines behind you do not need to salute me? Who teaches them the rules? It seems that I should request the emperor to regulate the royal etiquette, or they will offend others. It also disgraces the Mansion of Prince Chennan!” Hua Yueling’s voice was clear and sharp, and the cold light in her eyes showed a momentum of anger.

“How dare you talk to me like that?” Seeing that she did not admit her mistake and reproached his servants, Nangong Lieye trembled with anger.

“His Highness said you were against him, and you should be punished. You may get light penalty for serving him. Ten times of caning for each of you will suffice.” Hua Yueling pointed to the frightened women with a sly smile behind Nangong Lieye. The angrier he was, the happier she was.

“Hua Yueling, what are you doing?” Nangong Lieye was very angry with her, but this woman had changed a lot so that he was a little confused.

“Your Highness, why do you reproach me like that? I do not want to be a princess any more, since I have no right. Here’s something for you. You’ll be happy when you see it.” Hua Yueling took out the paper from her sleeve.

.

“What is it?” Nangong Lieye was full of doubts in his eyes.

“It’s a good thing, but...” Hua Yueling looked up gracefully to see the blue sky. The bright sunshine made her feel comfortable. She thought it was the time.

Meanwhile, a servant came in breathlessly and reported, “Your Highness, the Prime Minister and the fourth prince were in a hurry to see you.”

Hua Yueling’s narrow and beautiful eyes suddenly brightened up, like the crystals under the sun, brilliant and beautiful.
