The Princess And The Lord
Chapter 677 - Farewell Party
It was the first time Lory stumbles with Lazarus's name, from the first page she should see the warning from reading that book but she ignores it. Not because she conceited or to full of herself, the truth is she was desperate, year-after years go by but she still had no clue how to save Lucas she also tries to juggle her duty as a princess to maintain L'markieth order or at least make sure the place would stable enough if one day she decide to leave.
Thankfully her subordinates are reliable, the commission worked harmoniously and General Leon able to fill the gap that General Zargan left so Lory know she left the city in good hands and so she left and she left for good.
Meanwhile, at present time, night has fallen to Tien Shan manor other than darkness the other seemed to exist is the chilly wind that came with drizzles pouring, meantime inside the room Lory was sitting on the couch next to the open window listening to the pitter-patter sound outside her window, the monotone sound and the warmth from the furnace gives her serene feeling.
Time is an incredible power, it can make even the deepest memory seem so far away is like looking at the photograph, you remember when it took how and where but something is missing and you can't grasp it no matter how hard you try, perhaps that's why people always have mix feeling whenever they reminiscence their past.
'knock-knock'
The sudden knock on her door awakened her from her stupor, Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying head peek from behind the door, it's funny they look like a beautiful totem pole, Lory chuckles at their silly behavior "What are you two doing?" she rolls her eyes.
The beautiful totem pole grinned, Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying relief to see lory in a good mood but lory is too good when it comes to hiding her own feeling, so they cannot be sure, behind them the Su Yi and maids from Jiu Yun sect came with piping hot soup and clean utensil while the Su Yi boil hot tea on the side, all of the sudden Lory room crowded with people, thankfully her room is huge so it's not a problem to accommodate this much people. All of a sudden her round dining room filled with soup and all types of dumplings.
"Because I'm going home tomorrow so I decide to make tonight to be my official farewell party, it's great isn't it?" Ming Yue Yin rests her hands on her hips acting like a wilful sovereign.
Lory shakes her head and laughs "Sure, forget the rule for not eating after dark" she jeered.
"Is there such a rule?" Yang Xi Ying innocently asks.
"Am I wrong…" Lory not sure either.
"There is such habit inside harem Madam Li," said Su Yi while pour the warm tea elegantly "People believed is hard to digest food if you have a midnight snack, it would make them feel bloated on the next morning also it would be trouble when the emperor pay his visit, that's why many concubines never have late snack" she explained.
"In short, they do this for MAN" Ming Yue Yin quipped.
Lory laugh it out because it's the same reason in her old world as well, but it's okay and lory never have an opinion how other people live their life as long it didn't hurt other people, although polygamy is prohibited in Harland, mostly because the government wants to avoid confusion and chaos that came with the practice, also it's a way for the government to control birth rate not to mention a lot of humanitarian organization condemn this practice that demeaning women as a baby machine or simply sex tools for men, albeit a few nations still do this practice.
Not long after they leave the room leaving only three girls and one bird in the room, yes, Girsha was there in his luxurious birdhouse, he just came out because he smells food. Lory adds more than just grapes for today's feast she also adds Persimmon, Appricot, and plum, all exotic fruit that hard to come by in her old world so Girsha is very happy.
"I thought uncle would stay with you?" Ming Yue Yin dipped the ladle on the thick red bean soup.
"He tries, but I kicked him out, he still has a lot of things to do," Lory said while places a dumpling on the plate and hand it to Yang Xi Ying.
"Thank you ….only you who can kick around Long ming in this world" Yang Xi Ying laugh while received the plate.
Ming Yue Yin serves the soup first for Lory naturally, she genuinely thinks of Lory as someone older so she unconsciously gives more respect to Lory than Yang Xi Ying who have the same age as her.
"What time you're going to leave tomorrow?" Lory ask.
"Quite early because it took a long time to reach Xing Fang continent" she replies.
"Oh…"
Even though they are smiling but deep down they are reluctant to separate, the three of them are alone in this world and for yang Xi Ying although she has a family she didn't too close with them, in a noble family where reputation and image treated above the person itself it would create a thin but clear line between the family relationship, Luckily her father quite fond of her, however, her father has other children so he can focus all his attention to Yang Xi Ying alone.
Meanwhile, Yang Xi Ying mother is a gentle and very kind lady but she little bit gullible, submissive and weak so Yang Xi Ying tends to protect her from other concubines and other noble ladies, perhaps that's why she always wish someone to care and protect her, that probably the reason why she got fools by someone like Han Yuan who is good with words, thankfully she met Lory.
"I bet you have a mountain of work waiting for you" Lory teased.
"Ugh, don't remind me" Ming Yue Yin shudder, she already imagines Zhang yu hong would not let her go until she finishes her job, is there any grand tutor who tortured their supreme like that old man, unbelievable!
Ming Yue Yin might complain but her relationship with Zhang Yu Hong is like a stern grandfather and rebellious granddaughter, they get each other button but loved each other unconditionally.
"I think grand tutor Zhang missed you, I got news from elder Mu that Grand tutor Zhang force elder Mu to bring him along to Yun Dao city, fortunately, General Fu and prime minister Wu stop the old man" Yang Xi Ying giggles, is easy to imagine how Zhang Yu Hong made a commotion and force everyone to follow his order, he is the respected elder of Liang Zu kingdom no one dares to stop him other than he old friends, Fu Xiao Jin and Wu Tian Zi.
"That old man…." Ming Yue Yin grumbles and her face turn bright red, she doesn't realize she just experiences how normal children feel when their elder embarrassed them in front of their friends.
Lory laugh heartily, she missed that trio, they are the reason that the transition between the old Emperor to Ming Yue Yin as new empress went smoothly without them there's no doubt it would become another violent transition that goes down in history because a lot of people interest was disrupted when the power abruptly changed.
"Don't give too much trouble for them, you silly brat!" Lory reprimands her kindly.
"I know, by the way, I do a few urgent matters to be handle at my kingdom though" She sighs and takes a big bite of dumpling.
"What's wrong?" Lory ask.
Ming Yue Yin took a time to munch her food before she continues "The old Fu lose one of his good friends because of illness, then that person first son suddenly missing and the one who replaces the absence of the old general and his Son is the second wife Son…"
"Oh, I heard about that, is the Marquis Hwang family isn't it? Oh my….the second Son is not a good person, I mean, she didn't like you isn't it?" Yang Xi Ying got anxious all of the sudden.
"Who is this Marquis Hwang, and why he didn't like you? Well, you can be annoying sometimes but that because you freeload at my home, but I don't think is the same case" Lory mocked her with a serious face.
"You so funny~" Ming Yue Yin sarcastically said.
"I know!" Lory reply proudly "Okay, all kidding aside, what's wrong with that lad?"
Ming Yue Yin roll her eyes, she takes a sip and says: "Marquis Hwang Jing Lai is one of the top generals in my kingdom and also Old Fu best friend, he is a man with dignity and very loyal to the Kingdom, he also one of the people who dissatisfied with the previous Emperor and one of my biological father attendant, you can say he is one of my loyal supporters and so is his Son but the second son…..well that's a different matter"
"Oh yeah, what about him" Lory casually ask while dipping mantao to her soup.
"He is a DOUCHEBAG, a lowly – pervert – DOUCHEBAG, He is shameless DOUCHEBAG!" Yang Xi Ying hit the table angrily.
Lory jolted she almost choke on her mantao, she never hears Yang Xi Ying ranted about someone this much and she cursed a lot, well, if it's Ming Yue Yin then it's normal but Yang Xi Ying….
"Yeah….he is a douchebag" Ming Yue Yin slurped her soup.
"Really? Huh, now I'm eager to meet that man…" Lory even more curious, she wants to meet with the man who can make Yang Xi Ying Boiling up.
