Chapter 85: You Are My Trouble-maker

“Master Shifu?”

Master Lingtian had only two disciples, one was Princess Eleventh Murong Xue who was sitting on the right side and the other one was Luo Qianqian, the fourth daughter of Prime Minister Luo, Prince Eighth’s fiancee.

Could this girl be the Fourth Lady? The talk of the town?

Officials who were sitting next to Prime Minister Luo inquired cautiously, “Your Lordship, is thie young lady your fourth daughter?”

Prime Minister Luo enjoyed the attention but he made a deliberate gesture and acted humble, “Yeah, she is my fourth daughter Luo Qianqian, please forgive her for her manners, she is my youngest so I have been spoiling her, who knows she would carry on like this st such a grand gathering.”

Prime Minister Luo deliberately didn’t lower his voice, his remarks caused a stir.

People started to whisper to each other, finally they had met this Fourth Lady from Prime Minister Mansion, she was even more beautiful than they had heard. Look at her, she became Master Lingtian’s disciple at such a young age, and soon she would marry Prince Eighth, her future was beyond measure!

“Prime Minister Luo, you have such a great daughter!”

… …

Compliment started to flood in.

Prime Minister Luo showed an ear to ear grin, how he enjoyed all the attention and jealousy.

The emperor stared at Luo Qianqian as well, this was the first time that he had met Luo Qianqian, she was nothing like what he had heard before he arranged this marriage for Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun. He heard Luo Qianqian was a good-for-nothing, an ugly girl who was also a pushover. And that was why the emperor had arranged this marriage for them, for he wanted to inhibit Murong Yun’s influence in court by arranging him a burden.Update by Listnovel.com

He had heard about Luo Qianqian was taken as a disciple by Master Lingtian, but he thought that was a fluke, for Master Lingtian and Murong Yun were on good terms, Master Lingtian did that for Murong Yun’s sake.

But look at this girl now, the way she presented herself had eclipsed all the young ladies in this hall, even his favorite daughter Murong Xue, the emperor regretted his decision. Marrying such a girl to Murong Yun was nothing different than adding brilliance to his present splendor, the emperor heaved a deep sigh but soon he regained his composure and asked, “Yun, this is Qianqian, right?”

Murong Yun and Luo Qianqian both raised their heads and knelt, “Greetings, Your Majesty, Qianqian and Yun wush you a long life.”

The emperor nodded with a big smile, “Rise! Rise! What a beautiful match.”

With that Murong Yun forced Luo Qianqian to his seat together with him, leaving everyone stunned. Su Liancheng followed them and took his seat, he enjoyed the looks on everyone’s face.

Luo Qianqian took a peek at the emperor and the ladies who were sitting next to him, the lady who was sitting right next to him must be the empress. The empress was in her forties, you could tell she must be a beauty back in the days even tough now there were some freckles and wrinkles on her face.

The lady who was sitting behind them must be Imperial Noble Consort, Murong Yun and Murong Xue’s mother. Imperial Noble Consort smiled at Luo Qianqian when she noticed Luo Qianqian was staring at her, that was such a gentle smile, Luo Qianqian felt her heart was melting.

Luo Qianqian swept across the consorts and found Murong Yun’s mother was the most beautiful one, she was about to say something to Murong Yun when the emperor mentioned her name.

“Qianqian, I finally get to see you and Yun together, look at you two, such a beautiful couple.” said the emperor with a big smile.

However, Luo Qianqian didn’t buy what the emperor said, because she noticed the hostility rippled in the emperor’s eyes.

With that being said, Luo Qianqian rose to her feet and made a bow with hands folded in front, “I’m so flattered, Your Majesty.”

“Good girl.” the emperor looked he was satisfied with Luo Qianqian’s manner and he changed the subject, “I heard so much about you from Princess Eleventh, you are cultivating martial arts together, that’s so good, please supervise my daughter for me, I know how much she looks up to you. I will give you a pass token thus you can come to the palace anytime to keep Xue company and visit my Imperial Noble Consort, soon you need to call her mother, it’s good you ladies spend more time together and know each other more.”

“Gramercy, Your Majesty!”

“Good girl, good girl indeed.” the emperor averted his gaze from Luo Qianqian when Eunuch Cao whispered at him, “Time to start, Your Majesty.”

The emperor nodded and clapped his hands.

Hearing the signal, female entertainers started to play music and dance for the guests.

Luo Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief and took her seat, she just talked to the emperor, the Son of Heaven in Chinese traditional culture, it would be a lie if she said she wasn’t nervous.

Murong Yun peeled an orange for her and served the cloves in a plate, “Here, they are very sweet.”

Luo Qianqian smiled, she couldn’t believe Murong Yun had remembered she liked oranges.

Luo Qianqian watched the performance while having the orange, somehow she felt a strong stare.

Was it Mu Chaoyang?

Luo Qianqian took a subtle glimpse at Mu Chaoyang who was sitting next to Murong Yun, no, it wasn’t him.

Then she took a glimpse at the ladies who were sitting on the other side, and her eyes met a girls’ eyes.

The girl was basically killing Luo Qianqian with her eyes, the glare was so intimidating.

‘Have I met her before?’ Luo Qianqian searched her memory and the original owner’s memory, nope, this was the first time she had met the girl.

Luo Qianqian pretended she had not noticed the glare and tapped the table as she listened to the music, then she saw the girl exchanged a look with Luo Yuyan and they smiled at each other.

‘Hmm, Luo Yuyan’s friend, and she was sitting next to Luo Yuyan, her father must be a dignitary! Could it be General Yue’s daughter Yue Qiqi?’

‘But why does she keep glaring at me? Because of Luo Yuyan?’

Luo Qianqian cudgeled her brains but she couldn’t come up with a reasonable excuse.

And then she noticed the way Yue Qiqi stared at Murong Yun, suddenly everything started to make sense.

“Murong Yun, you are such a trouble maker, my trouble maker.” Luo Qianqian whispered.

“What do you mean?” Murong Yun was utterly confused.

Luo Qianqian smiled and shrugged.
