Yang Xi Ying felt she was about to explode from anger, Lory might not understand the grave of her situation, for women's bad reputation is like cancer, it ruined you bit by bit. When you have a bad reputation is easy to other people to harm you, she understands because she was in that situation before.

Thankfully her maternal family is quite strong and her mother's position as a legal wife is not easy to shook, if not because of that she would already send to the monastery to be a nun or forced to marry someone who has low status than her which mean she would become everyone laughing stock.

​​

The father's love in a noble family is superficial, although he said he loves you but in the face of wealth and glory many fathers would sacrifice their daughter in a heartbeat. Fortunately, she met with Li Mo Zhen, and the man disregard all the rumor about her and take her as a wife, it was the greatest outcome for someone like Yang Xi Ying, Li Mo Zhen is her savior and her lover she will forever grateful for him so when Li Mo Zhen inflicted by cursed Yang Xi Ying was stressed at that time she ready to give her life as long she could save Li Mo Zhen.

When she is at her wit's end Lory comes, just like the ray of hope who pulls her from her despair. In her life, Yang Xi Ying will sacrifice her life for two people and they are Li Mo Zhen and Lory, so when the Empress dowager push Lory on a tight spot she really had to control her temper not to flare out because it would only disadvantage Lory position further.

Ming Yue Yin engraved every noble daughter's faces and names, she might not as good as Ming Yue Yin in terms of fist fight but when it comes to fighting in a social circle, no one has a better experience than her.

Meantime Ming Yue Yin's expression is tranquil as ever but in her head, she calculated what would happen if she waging the war with the Yunmo kingdom?

Since the day of her coronation, she has built the whole entire army power, and put Fu Xiao Jin in charge, with Hei Shen help she could buy special weapon and armor from black turtle palace ina half price, and her elite army used to have combat training with gold Lion palace.

White Dragon palace also provides them with a high-grade elixir to strengthen one body, of course, the dosage is watched closely by the White dragon physician so they will not get the bad side effect from abusing the elixir.

That is the reason why the Liang Zu army becomes so powerful in a short time, so Ming Yue Yin is not afraid to fight with the Yunmo kingdom, although the Gui Hong continent is stronger than the Xin Fang continent she believes her army is not weaker than Yunmo army.

The Queen dowager and the Empress would never know how grave the situation is, never in their dream they would think that someone like Ming Yue Yin would waging a war for someone like Lory, well they don't know Ming Yue Yin.

While Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying immersed in their dangerous mind, Lory is unperturbed, she looks at the old lady who oddly remained her with her etiquette teacher before Fred came along to replace the old lady then again she never likes that old lady…

"Madam Zhao, would you like to share anything?" The empress's voice awoke Lory from her daze.

A faint smile bloom on her face "Well, I don't know how to play music or dance but what I usually do….I'm a storyteller, sometime at night like this I will tell a story, would you like to hear?" Lory calmly said.

Spontaneously the girl's giggles, they all laughing at, they thought lory is on her wits end that's why she blabber her mouth without thinking, what is storyteller, for them storyteller is the job of wondering old man who make up a story for little kid and stranger on the street, can this be consider a talent? of course is not!

The ladies stare at lory with mocking gaze they whisper at each other and laugh, a few madams shake their head feeling incredulous with lory behavior, they are certain that lory reputation will go down the drained after tonight. On the contrary, Lory remains calmed and poised as she maintains her smile towards the empress dowager.

The empress Jing and the empress Dowager was intrigued since Lory seems confident, it can be mean she know what she's doing or she just doesn't care whatever it is they eager to found out.

"Let me hear your story," said the Empress dowager.

Ming Yue Yin's eyes lit up, she straightens her pose like a little kid who can't wait to hear the story. She doesn't care what other people think she likes listening to Lory tells a story, listening to her voice is like sitting on a meadow while the gentle breeze blows your hair, it gives a sense of serene and clarity.

For whatever reason it make her feel safe. Many times she was saved by Lory's gentle voice no wonder Zhao Li Xin could never forget Lory's voice once he heard it if she never knew Lory she would search for her too.

"Yes, Your majesty…" Lory bows her head politely then she frowns for a second to decide which story she wants to tell them.

"Let's begin …" her gentle voice float in the air at the same time the wind blow the peach flower petals, the grey cloud moves slowly as the sky gradually clearer and the bright moon illuminated the beautiful garden suddenly the atmosphere change subtly. Everyone turns quiet as if they are entrance by Lory's voice.

"Once upon the time, there was a Kingdom lead by a great King. The kingdom is peaceful and prosperous under the leadership of the wise King. The King has three daughters each one of them is known for their beauty and talent. One day the King decide to test his daughter affection towards him and so he asked his daughter"

"My dearest daughter, I wanted to know how much you love me? The king asked the first Daughter to say I love you as deep as the ocean, the king smile in content. The second daughter doesn't want to lose she say a love you more than the whole gold in the world, the king beamed in joy"

"Then the King turns to his youngest daughter, the last princess smile and she says I love you more than I love salt. The King furious because the princess equated him with salt, in anger the King banished the last princess from the palace" Lory sip the wine to moist her throat, everyone stares at lory impatiently they annoyed Lory have to stop in the middle of the story and leaving them in suspense, it is quite funny when the ladies who mocked her before now engrossed in her story.

Lory smacked her wet lips and continue "Years goes by, when the King anger subside he begin to missed his youngest daughter later he sent all his subordinates to search for the princess, however, years after years went by the King still can find his daughter, feeling sad and regret he decide to leave the palace for a while. One day she went to the hill on a whim suddenly when he reaches the top of the hill he feel hungry. Fortunately, he found a small house, and then he smells a tasty fragrant from the house."

"Curious, the King headed to the small house, turn out is a small restaurant, such a coincidence. The king enters the small courtyard and a young girl greets him. The king order some food and the young lady received the order and run to the kitchen, not long after the food present on the table, the king surprised the food didn't look like commoner food and smelled very good. The king taste the food but then he frowned, although everything is cooked perfectly, however, the taste is too bland"

"The King called the young lady, he asked her why the food taste like this, judging by the appearance of the food the king is certain the cooked of this food is a professional so why is that person make such a dish, no wonder the restaurant is empty"

"The young lady make forlorn smile she say it because the lady who make the dish refuse to use a salt on her dish, a long time ago she told to the man that she adored that she loved him more than salt but the man truly disappointed as a result the lady is expelled from her house, since then to show her devotion to the man that she loves she never use salt in all her food"

"The king was shocked, he runs to the kitchen and there he found his youngest daughter. The king finally understands how much his daughter loves him. Sometimes, the most genuine feeling came from a simple act, like a mother who stays all night beside the bed when her child sick, or a wife who refuses to sleep until her husband comes home. It just a simple action to show their care and many people took it for granted" Lory smiles solemnly.

"Can you imagine when you are a child you got sick on your bed alone and your mother wasn't there to hold your hand, or the husband feeling when he came home from worked and everyone already sleeps and he was stood there all alone without anyone asked him 'how is your day'?" Lory ends her story but everyone was still engrossed in the story.

the place engulfs in silence some of the madams even got their eyes welled up, they suddenly have the urge to meet their husband and some young ladies look at their mother with remorse.

'Why everyone so quiet?' Lory is baffled, is her story is too boring. Should she tell the story about the wolf and three little pigs instead? But she doesn't want to mimic the wolf huffed and puffed.
