The Princess And The Lord

Lory frowned when she heard Zhao Qin Feng visited them, Zhao Li Xin had severed his ties with the Jiang Wei royal family so why are they still bothering him, Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin with a question on her face, Zhao Li Xin understands what Lorty's thinking then he smiled calmly to assure her nothing she needs to worry about "let's see what he wants?"

"Looks like you have another guest, so I will excuse myself" Yuan Shao cupped his fists politely. before he left. Since he already got what he wanted he doesn't want to bother Zhao Li Xin any further.

"Allow me to send General Yuan off, then," Ming Yue Yin kindly said, since another problem is knocking on the door, it seems that her Aunt will get busy again.

"I'm sorry to trouble you" Yuan Shao's expression slightly soften when he saw Ming Yue Yin but the girl just pressed her lips into a thin line and turned around without even glancing at him. Lory didn't understand why Ming Yue Yin was so fierce with the General, luckily the General didn't mind her attitude….no, seems like he was enjoying it, perhaps he's an 'M1'?

"What do you think, Lory?" Zhao Li Xin woke him up from his daze.

"No, it's nothing" Lory gasped, she gathered her thoughts as she realizes she had another important matter to deal with.

Zhao Li Xin waved his hand to order the maid to change Lory Pur-er's tea to her favorite 'Sun Citrus' tea. Lory happily accepted the tea then she asked Zhao Li Xin curiously, "Why do you think Zhao Qin Feng wants to meet you?" Lory blew on her tea before she took a sip.

"Who knows?" he replied nonchalantly, actually he didn't care what plans or schemes that stupid former little brother had in mind.

"The kingdom is in a bad state after I left the Jiang Wei Kingdom, it affected a lot of people especially Concubine Ying and Zhao Qin Feng, in order to secure her face, the emperor blamed them for the reason I left the Jiang Wei Kingdom" Zhao Li Xin smiled faintly as he felt ridiculous since the emperor hurt him as much as Ying Xi Lu.

"How bad their situation right now?" Glory interest pique she put down the teacup on the table.

The Emperor cut off Ying Xi Lu's authority in half, although she still retained the title of empress, alas she was not as strong as before, as many people who used to be loyal to Concubine Ying were replaced including her most trusted old maid who followed her ever since she entered the palace. Without her trusted aides is like cutting off her legs and arms, I can't imagine how she survives in the royal harem after this," Zhao Li Xin held back a laugh then he poured himself a cup of wine and continue calmly

"Because Zhao Qin Feng's chance to become the next Emperor decreased tremendously, I think Ying Xi Lu become frustrated"

"What about the Ying clan? I think they have a strong backer?" Lory rested her chin on the small table between them.

"The Ying clan isn't strong enough to fight me and anyone who supports them wouldn't want to get into trouble with me especially when Ying Xi Lu's strength is declining" Zhao Li Xin elegantly sipped his wine, he smacked her lips and smile cunningly "That's how cooperation on the principle of profit work" He chuckles softly, well Zhao Li Xin has nothing to worry about since it's hard enough to kill Zhao Li Xin when he's sick imagine the chance people got when he's healthy.

"The housekeeper said he came with his Fiancee, is he still engaged with the same woman?" Lory remembers a certain beautiful girl with a pure appearance like a blossoming flower.

"He is, after all, it's not good for women's reputation if they call off their engagement, she needs a good reason to call off her engagement even so it still gives a bad impact on her reputation," Zhao Li Xin said, suddenly his hands froze in the air then he looked at Lory worriedly "Don't be careless, women like that are cruel they can be cruel to themselves let alone with others so you have to remain vigilant at all time when you face someone like her" he warned Lory seriously.

"I know," she nodded obediently.

Not long after they heard the sound of approaching footsteps, the housekeeper came with Zhao Qin Feng and their Fiance Ying Xuan Xie accompanied by one maid and two bodyguards, When they arrived Ying Xuan Xie was flabbergasted when she saw Zhao Li Xin's stunning appearance he looks dignified and regal but distant just like a monarch in the old story. Suddenly her heart pounds rapidly and her face feel hotter Ying Xuan Xie quickly lowered her head to hide her feeling.

At first, Lory wanted to stand up to respect the guest but Zhao Li Xin pressed her hand gently on the table, Lory realized Zhao Li Xin didn't want her to greet Zhao Qin Feng and Ying Xuan Xie, they were the ones who came asking for help, therefore, Lory didn't have to be polite with them.

Zhao Qin Feng sees Zhao Li Xin and his fiancée still sit on their chair comfortably it seems they don't want to give him face. Zhao Qin Feng

tighten his jaw deep anger flashed across his face, he hated Zhao Li Xin to the bones but sadly he is not strong enough to fight against him, meanwhile, Yin Xuan Xie glance at Zhao Li Xin handsome face, she never saw any men who are more beautiful and perfect like Zhao Li Xin if only her family match her with Zhao Li Xin instead Zhao Qin Feng how amazing her life would be.

when Ying Xuan Xie was immersed in his imagination, he saw Zhao Li Xin's hand on the table holding a woman's hand, he made a lazy expression while his index finger rubbing the back of the woman's hand without caring, Ying Xuan Xie frowned when he saw the appearance of the woman is so ordinary she doesn't match Zhao Li Xin's heaven-defying looks at all, moreover, she heard that that woman is trash who can't cultivate, she comes from a lowly background, vulgar and uneducated how could she find the courage to sit next to someone like Zhao Li Xin didn't she feel embarrassed.

Lory feel the hostile gaze from Ying Xuan Xie, she could've guessed it because of a certain lord who refuses to let her hand go, however, what make Lory perplexed is why Ying Xuan Xie glared at her as if she stole her money, she turns her head at Zho Li Xin and realizes why. Lory sighed and wonder why can anyone stick to their own fiancée why do they all bother her man? other than Yang Xi Ying why every woman she met is so fickle?

"Why are you here?" Zhao Li Xin didn't beat around the bush, he didn't even bother inviting them to sit down first.

Zhao Qin Feng took a deep breath as he swallows down his anger, "Mother misses you, she wanted to see you but she couldn't travel far so she sent me to meet you" he sounds almost sincere.

Zhao Li Xin rested her head on her fist looking bored and lazy, he stifles a chuckle, "Don't you feel ashamed to lie to me blatantly like that"

Even when he mocking Zhao Li Xing look so dashing, Ying Xuan Xie was completely smitten if not because Zhao Qin Feng was here she would throw herself at Zhao Li Xin without care. If Lory hears this she would say 'Girl, you have a problem!'

"Sixth brother, that's right!" Ying Xuan Xie suddenly spoke, "Consort Ying regrets how she treated you in the past, she keeps blaming herself for what happened, I hope you can find the heart to forgive her, at least a little I know you are a good man" her eyes became wet with tears she looks meek and pitiful.

Zhao Qin Feng feel sorry for his fiancée, he wrapped his hand on her shoulder "Xie'er don't be sad, I know you care about my mother the most"

Zhao Qin Feng didn't realize Ying Xuan Xie's body become stiffed when his hand touching her shoulder, she smiles awkwardly as if she was reluctant to show their close relationship in front of Zhao Li Xin.

" A good man, find a heart ?…" Zhao Li Xin said with a flat tone "If I have a heart I already give everything to this woman"  he looked at Lory with a warm gaze while fiddling Lory's little fingers.

Zhao Li Xin expression changed instantly when he turned his sight back to Zhao Qin Feng again "I'm not a good man, had you heard the rumors about me, I'm a cruel and cold-blooded tyrant so don't ask forgiveness to me....it's ridiculous" his voice becomes eerie cold without a trace of warmed he had shown to Lory.

Lory blushed a little, she never knew she would be teased in public, luckily, the sleeves of her dress were wide enough to cover half her face as she sheepishly scratched her nose.

Ying Xuan Xie's face turned somber she felt bitter in her heart, why would an ordinary woman like her have the ability to make someone like Zhao Li Xin head over heels for her, why would a lowly woman like her have a better life than a noblewoman like her, what went wrong in her life, why is God so unfair? envy and jealousy crept into Ying Xuan Xie's heart, she was not aware of the hostile look she gave Lory.

Of course, Zhao Li Xin notices her right away, "If you keep looking at my fiancé like that, I will gouge out your eyes, right here- right now" Zhao Li Xin's warned her sternly, the killing intent in his eyes show that he was not kidding.

Ying Xuan Xie felt she was slapped in the face, she feel embarrassed and scared her face turned from red to white she almost fell to her knees if not Zhao Qin Feng was quick enough to catch her.

"Brother, why are you so angry, Xuan Xie didn't do anything wrong!" Zhao Qin Feng shouted angrily and simultaneously his bodyguards pulled out their swords, but before they could move, they felt cold metal on their necks. Six people in dark uniforms including Mong ki and Mong Yi surrounded Zhao Qin Feng and his men pointed their swords at them.

Zhao Qin Feng realized that he had acted rashly, how could he forget that he was in Zhao Li Xin's territory, seeing the group of men in dark uniforms Zhao Qin Feng felt chills down his spine as he felt nothing nor Ying Xuan Xie and his bodyguards, he dreaded the thought of how long they had been there.

Zhao Li Xin crosses her legs to one another he comfortably rest his back against his chair, feeling bored as ever, "This is just a kindly reminder for both of you….next time I won't be this nice"  he smirked.
