Chapter 70 - What a Hypocrite

It was about six a.m. when Luo Qianqian sneaked to her own room.

Luo Qianqian sat in front of the dressing table bronze mirror, lost in thought. What happened last night and that morning felt so unreal, she was lucky that she couldn’t recollect what had happened exactly, those conversations she had with Murong Yun, those flirtatious moments initiated by her… …

She heard Murong Yun mentioned he needed to go to morning court starting from this day, something must have happened… …

It was approaching the morning training session with Sun Zhe, Luo Qianqian got changed and got ready for her first day. She couldn’t help but wonder would Xue show up as well.

She had already explained why Xue would hesitate when she heard she had to wear men’s wear to Sun Zhe, and Sun Zhe realized he had misunderstood Princess Eleventh for she wasn’t hesitating because she wanted to be pretty all the time, Sun Zhe felt guilty that he didn’t listen to Princess Eleventh.

Sun Zhe had learned his lesson when Luo Qianqian used her tactic and strategy when they had that competition the day before, Sun Zhe had always been confident in his martial arts cultivation, little did he expect a girl would defeat him. Sun Zhe learned to never put labels on anyone, people might surprise you.

Luo Qianqian shook her head and started to get ready for her training, she made a man’s hairdo just like Murong Yun’s.

She took several peeks at Murong Yun when Murong Yun did his hairdo, so she didn’t struggle much when she did hers.

About half an hour later… …

“My lady, my lady are you awake?” Xiao Yue knocked on the door gently, ready to serve Luo Qianqian to get ready.

“Come in, Xiao Yue.”

‘Wow, my lady wakes up early today.’ thought Xiao Yue and she pushed the door open gently.

There was a basin of water in the room already, “My lady have you washed your face and done your toilet already?”

Xiao Yue was utterly surprised.

She waited till late last night before she finally gave up on waiting for Her lady, she wasn’t worried about her lady when Feng Qing was around her to protect her. Xiao Yue went to bed without seeing Her lady last night, and this morning her lady didn’t sleep in, what was going on!

“Yes, Xiao Yue, I’m almost done.” Luo Qianqian’s voice came from behind the screen.

With that Luo Qianqian walked out from behind the screen, it was a jaw-dropping scene for Xiao Yue.

Her lady, Luo Qianqian was dressed in men’s wear and she was basically wearing no makeup but she painted a pair of bushy eyebrows. Her lady looked like a handsome childe from a noble family.

Utterly beautiful.

Beautiful outfit, beautiful face, beautiful scene.

Xiao Yue didn’t blink even once.

“Xiao Yue, why are you staring me like this? It’s just me.” chuckled Luo Qinqian.

Xiao Yue knew it was her lady who was standing in front her, but… but why her heart was beating so fast when she saw her lady dressed up like this. She even blushed in the presence of such a beautiful young childe.

Xiao Yue studied her lady’s flawless features, waiting for her breath to return to normal until her lady looked at her in a funny way.

“My lady, why are you dressed like this?” Xiao Yue’s eyes were still glued on Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was wrapping her sleeves to give her more movements in training, she grew more fondness for this outfit after she put it on, ‘hmm, ancient version of active ware, nice.’

Plus the fabric were made of cotton, it was light and affordable. She won’t have a heartbreak if the outfit ripped in the training or whatsoever. Unlike her other outfits sent from Murong Yun, they were all made of yamamai silk.

Plus Xiao Yue had told her a fun fact about yamamai silk was the fabric wasn’t very accessible, it was so precious that you couldn’t just purchase them when you want some. Murong Yun must have put great effort collecting these fabrics, so Luo Qianqian was glad she got the men’s wear for the training.

“Why, I look strange, Xiao Yue?” Luo Qianqian walked to the mirror and looked at herself, it was a pity that they only had a bronze mirror. But Luo Qianqian tried to look herself up and down, she thought she looked quite all right and she even had this naughty plan to hit on a pretty girl.

Xiao Yue shook her head and replied, “No my lady, you look superb.”

Luo Qianqian pinched Xiao Yue’s cheek and said, “My good girl Xiao Yue, can you fix me some soup, I’m having a slight hangover.”

Xiao Yue was so surprised that her lady drank last night, but she didn’t pester Luo Qianqian and ask her about the details, she ran off to make the soup.

To Luo Qianqian’s surprise, Xiao Yue came back holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand after just several minutes.

Xiao Yue explained, “My lady, Butler Luo just sent you this soup, he says Prime Minister Luo orders him to send you this soup and see to it that you drink it, because the wine you drank last night had a strong kick.”

Luo Qianqian showed a cold smile, what a hypocrite.

‘Prime Minister Luo knows to stoop low when it’s necessary, he knows I’m no longer the pushover and good-for-nothing any more, I’m engaged to Prince Eighth, I’m even Master Lingtian’s disciple. I can expect some more fawning act from Prime Minister Luo I’m sure, I’ll just play along… …’

Luo Qianqian set off after she drank the soup.

Feng Qing was waiting for her at the gate, but somehow she found Feng Qing rather odd this day, he looked mopey and isolated. Little did she think Feng Qing was the one who suffered when she got drunk and showed up in front of Murong Yun.

Sigh, life was so unfair.

“Are you about to leave, Fourth Lady?” Butler Luo asked in a fawning manner, beaming.

“Yes, Butler Luo. What’s with the carriage?” Luo Qianqian pointed at the brand new carriage right bext to Butler Luo.

Butler Luo put on a meaningful smile and replied, “Prime Minister Luo has arranged you this carriage to escort you from home to tavern, please accept it.”

Luo Qianqian smiled.

Butler Luo cleared his throat and continued, “Prime Minister Luo… Prime Minister Luo also said please say greetings to Master Lingtian on behalf of him.”
