The Princess And The Lord

Jin Hua blushed, she took the teacup and replied calmly "I'm not worried" she deny.

Jin Hua's denial made her look so adorable that Lan Hua giggled even louder, she couldn't wait to gossip with her sister about what she found out today.

Lan Hua glanced at Jin Hua, she quite liked Jin Hua not only beautiful but she was also kind and honest even though she grew up in a harsh environment like Misty Lake, and seeing her master's behavior these past few days, she saw that Bei Li Yan didn't show any resistance towards Jin Hua's presence.

Perhaps what outsiders never thought was that Bei Li Yan's actually had quite a severe allergy towards women. It was caused by the bitter past that eventually traumatized him, but Master Zhao Li Xin forced him to deal with his trauma because their Lord didn't want it to cause him a big problem in the future.

Therefore with great difficulty, Bei Li Yan tries to overcome his trauma by interacting with women more often later on he learns how to deal with women and learns to recognize lies in women words and behavior, gradually Bei Li Yan is able to overcome his trauma but just like any other trauma that feeling cannot completely erase.

Even today Bei Li Yan was still cynical and tended to be sharp-mouthed when he was talking with women he also avoided physical contact with women.

Lan Hua thinks Bei Li Yan will never get married but then she sees Bei Li Yan carry the unconscious Jin Hua. He even has no problem having intimate physical contact with Jin Hua, Lan Hua thinks maybe Jin Hua is the one who could heal her master's trauma.

Lan Hua and the other three sisters owed Bei Li Yan everything for them, Bei Li Yan is like their big brother, master, and friend, he teaches them how to be strong, and to be brave, Bei Li Yan also helps them to overcome their painful past. Lan Hua didn't know how to repay Bei Li Yan's kindness but maybe she will have that chance now.

"Whoaa, why it's so lively in here?!" Lory's voice attracts Jin Hua and Lan Hua's attention.

Lan Hua saw Lory, and Ming Yue Yin's faces immediately lit up but the light disappeared instantly when she saw Zhao Li Xin also coming followed by Wu San Bo, Jiang Jin Wei, and the Mong brothers,  seeing Zhao Li Xin made her stomach churn.

Even though Lan Hua always acts calmly in front of Zhao Li Xin but actually Lan Hua always feels nervous and stressed but it's not strange almost everyone gets that reaction when they first meet Zhao Li Xin but it has gotten much better since Madam came, the aura around Zhao Li Xin's surroundings became less intense although it was still uncomfortable but it became more bearable now.

"Is that… Master Long Ming?" this was Jin Hua's first time seeing Zhao Li Xin up close.

The man was extraordinarily beautiful as the rumors said but he lacked vitality unlike Bei Li Yan who shined brightly like the color of a flower or a rainbow, Long Ming's beauty was like a diamond, although his beauty shines the same as Bei Li Yan, but Zhao Li Xin exude coldness and rigidity.

Jin Hua got goosebumps when her eyes met Zhao Li Xin, he didn't expect that there was someone like Zhao Li Xin in this world.

"Shh, don't stare at the Lord for too long, he doesn't like it!" Lan Hua nudged Jin Hua's arm as she quickly remind Jin Hua.

Jin Hua was surprised and then she immediately lowered her head. It wasn't that she was happy staring at Zhao Li Xin it was just that it was difficult to take her eyes off Zhao Li Xin.

Jin Hua felt like he was staring down an abyss and it felt like his soul was being sucked out of her body even though it was scary but there was nothing she could do.

Jin Hua swallowed nervously, she hoped her attitude would not offend Zhao Li Xin.

"Don't worry, Madam is here so nothing will happen," Lan Hua whispered.

"Oh…" Jin Hua glanced and saw Long Ming walk towards her together with Ming Yue Yin, luckily Long Ming didn't follow his wife otherwise she would definitely faint this time, no doubt.

"You're Jin Hua right?" Lory looked at her with a warm smile.

Knowing the two women in front of him were the most influential women on the continent. Jin Hua felt a little nervous, but he managed to calm herself down and bowed her head gracefully, "Yes, madam, this one is Jin Hua" she replied politely.

"You don't need to be formal, we are all friends here" Lory chuckles.

"Yes!" Ming Yue Yin also smirked, then he saw the commotion behind him, "Hey, how long do we let them play?" on a cold day like this, they are still playing together, no wonder the relationship between the palace kings is so good.

"Well, let them have fun.... we have time anyway," Lory answer casually then she sat in front of Jin Hua.

"Madam, Your Majesty, we got red bean soup with black bean paste, would you like to try it?" Lan Hua offers with a kind smile. She genuinely likes Lory and after she knows who Lory really is from Bei Li Yan she become admire her even more, she even got jealous when she heard how Lory showcases her power during their voyage to Gui Hong's continent, if only she was on the ship too!

"Of course!" Lory accepts the offer excitedly.

"Oh, I just remembered I only ate a bowl of noodles today, I haven't eaten any dessert?" Ming Yue Yin mutter to herself.

Ming Yue Yin's noodle bowl was not a normal size bowl it was bigger than a normal bowl and Lory had seen it before thus she gave Ming Yue Yin a side-eye "Only noodles. Huh?" Lory said sarcastically.

Ming Yue Yin narrowed her eyes, "You are the last person who can judge me!"

Ming Yue Yin knows how many desserts Lory eats in a day that she rarely eats normal food anymore and Lory doesn't like to eat too much rice either so her diet is constant with sweet and flour, obviously unhealthy but who can't stop Lory, definitely not her henpecked husband.

Ignoring Ming Yue Yin's cynical comment, Lory turned to Jin Hua "Miss Jin, you also eat with us right!" Lory's hospitality left Jin Hua perplexed.

In Misty Lake the women who had earned a high status were used to being cold, arrogant, and aloof, none of them acting like Lory.

Why Lory is so good to her, is she not suspicious at all, even though she is Jin Hao's sister but she is also from the misty lake. Why didn't she think the possibility of her being a spy was that Long Ming's wife was so gullible? But what about Empress Ming, why does she also look so relaxed, Shouldn't Monarchs be filled with paranoia, suspicion, and distance from others, but why was Empress Ming so friendly since when could a Monarch be so friendly?

While Lory and the other girls were relaxing while watching the free entertainment, Zhao Li Xin also watched Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao fight with such enthusiasm that Zhao Li Xin's brows furrowed "Don't they supposed to be busy, why do they have time to play?"

"Just punish them my Lord" Wu San Bo ruthlessly kicked his two brothers into the abyss.

"Milord, they may be just training?" Jiang Jin Wei who was the most kindhearted among them defended his two brothers.

"They don't look like they're practicing, just punish them, my Lord," said Wu San Bo again.

Jiang Jin Wei glared at Wu San Bo but he replied with a sly smile. Wu san Bo didn't hate Jin Hao or Bei Li Yan, they just liked to tease each other like children in fact they were so close that they could freely exchange blows without worrying just like normal brothers would.

Only Jiang Jin Wei rarely fought with them due to his mild temper and kind nature but like any normal man sometimes he can get angry too and fight with his brothers, the difference is he felt bad for fighting with them, and after that Jiang Jin Wei became overly chummy with the brothers he fought which made the brothers who being his opponent became awkward because of that Jin Hao and the others rarely fought Jiang Jin Wei.

"STOP!" Zhao Li Xin's shouted, the powerful Qi that filled his voice swept over Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao like a gust of wind, and both of them throw away, but they swiftly took a backflip and landed smoothly on both feet then they finally noticed Zhao Li Xin's presence.

"My lord!" Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and cupped their fists firmly.

"Stop playing, we have important business," Zhao Li Xin sounds annoyed.

"But we don't play!" Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan said at the same time, they were stunned then they exchanged glares at the same time again.

"You tried to kiss my sister!" Jin Hao hissed.

"When did I kiss your sister?" Bei Li Yan refuted.

"I saw it myself!" Jin Hao insisted.

"Then you are blind!" Bei Li Yan scoffed.

"YOU!" they shouted at the same time again.

"NOISY!" Zhao Li Xin interrupted.

Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan immediately shut their mouths.
