The Story of a Stroppy Princess

At Chen (it refers to Chinese traditional time unit, about 7:00 am), the sun was slanting down, veiling the whole capital.

As the Central Business District (CBD) of the Kingdom of Dayue, Chang'an Street was strewn with numerous antique shops, tea houses and taverns of all sizes and decorations. Meantime, the whole street was jammed with fancy carriages and the best horses; in the air was an eyeful of shop flags waving to the guests.

Just at that time, a luxurious carriage slowly came into people's eyes.

"My lady, we have arrived at Chang'an Street." Walking on the left, Ping'er said to the direction of the sedan's window; on the other side, wearing emotionless expression, Ye You followed silently.

"OK," answered Hua Yueling, who, with closed eyes, was sitting on the bench in the carriage. Hearing this, she bent over and held up the curtain, looking around the bustling street. She had never come out of the Prime Minister Mansion since she came here, so she chose the best-known street on purpose to appreciate its prosperity.

"My lady," Pointing at the very distinctively high three-story building, Ping'er said, "that is Osmanthus Chamber of the Third Prince." Just by glancing at the shiny gold-gilded words protruding from the building, one might know by instinct that it was a fancy and luxury restaurant, where the common people could not afford to have a visit.

"The decoration is not bad." Glancing at it, Hua Yueling gave an arbitrary comment. What a sharp businessman Nangong Lieye was! The numerous rich men in the capital city cared most was not money but their vanity. This fancy restaurant could just satisfy those fat cats, so it was no wonder a bustling place.

"The daughter of the Prime Minister!" Someone yelled out the minute he saw Hua Yueling in the carriage. The affair that Hua Yueling divorced her husband was so grand that even half a month later, there had been much gossip around.

"Wow, how dare she come out? The Third Prince is in Osmanthus Chamber now！A show will be on and let's wait and see." Whispered the crowd.

"Ping'er, stop." There came Hua Yueling's voice, which sounded as clear as the spring.

"My lady, it's not a good place, is it?" Ping'er persuaded her anxiously, for she knew these guys obviously wanted to see how she would be embarrassed.

"Ping'er, it looks like I haven't punished you severely yet." Hua Yueling rolled her eyes in the carriage. This little girl was all good except for her cowardice. Following a brave leader, how could she be such a coward?

"Ah, No! I dare not! Stop the carriage!" Ping'er hastened to stop the coachman, and on the other side, Ye You twisted his mouth.

Hua Yueling held out her fair-skinned hand to Ping'er and slowly stepped out of the carriage. No sooner had she stood well than the buzz around her decreased considerably. The events that she ordered someone to beat up the children of the Minister of Rites, the Third Prince's concubine and his servants in the Mansion of King Chen were already widely known to all.

"There came out The Third Prince." Someone shouted, and all of a sudden everyone turned to look toward Osmanthus Chamber.

Hua Yueling smiled insidiously and said to Ping'er, "Let's go inside." Walking slowly forward, Hua Yueling had an accidental eye contact with the approaching Third Prince.

Hatred would intensify itself when enemies encountered. At present, Naogong Lieye, with an air of aggressiveness, stared so coldly at Hua Yueling's charming face.

Today, Hua Yueling wore a long white dress like a fairy whose figure was as if half invisible in the cloud. Her jet-black hair, with a plum flower hairpin pouring down like waterfall. Her delicate face looked gorgeous against the sunshine and her graceful figure made her a real standout. Her jet-black hair was fluttering slowly in the breeze. Looking at Nangong Lieye, Hua Yueling narrowed her eyes and released her shrewdness right now. All of her arrogance exuded and gradually spread out.

In a moment, there was a dead silence on the two sides of the street, making Hua Yueling feel a little funny. Were they waiting to see the show?

"Is she the ex-Third Princess?" A young man came out from the back of Nangong Lieye, whose euphonious voice aroused Hua Yueling's curiosity.

The man was in his twenties. He was tall and was in silver robe which gave a perfect halo reflection of sunlight.

He was a real Adonis with handsome face, thick eyebrow extending to the temples, star-like eyeballs, straight nose, impeccable mouth which now was wearing a faint smile. However, Hua Yueling could still see through his eyes a tint of flashing ferocity.

Hua Yueling narrowed her eyes. She felt that this man was like a sword hidden in its sheath, hiding all his strength.

She didn't expect that this man would be so outstanding. Originally she thought Nangong Lieye was the most handsome Adonis she had ever met. Now she found a real beauty challenger, so she was so curious about who he was.

"I don't know this bitch!" Said Nangong Lieye. His cold voice spread out clearly, making more people gasped in astonishment.

Hua Yueling felt funny. Was this mean man trying to argue with her? Although she pestered him for a year, it was she who suffered in the end. What a narrow-minded man he was! 'Since you intends to start a quarrel, so let's kick off to see who is the final winner!'

"Neither do I know any impotent men!" said Hua Yueling. She slowly raised her delicate and beautiful face in front of him. She looked up at the the gold-gilded words above her head, smiling in sultry, and then she said, "Ping'er, I heard the food in Osmanthus Chamber is getting worse, but it was still so expensive. Businessmen are really all dishonest. I wonder who the boss is that exploits the people like a beast."

"What... What are you talking about?!" said Nangong Lieye angrily, his face blackened with anger. He stared at her smiling face which he really wanted to give a heavy slap.

"You, this childe, I think, had better take my advice and stay away from the impotent in case that you may get infected and then you have no face to see your ancestors." Hua Yueling, in a sneer, took no notice of Nangong Lieye and said to the handsome man next to him in a much more graceful manner.

Upon finishing her words, Hua Yueling made a beautiful turn with her skirt swinging and moved directly forward. She even didn't look at Nangong Lieye a little. Apparently, it was she who didn't know him.

Ping'er burst into laughter when she saw the astonished expression of that handsome man. How stinging!

"Hua Yueling, you are so contemptible! It's our affair and has nothing to do with my friend!" Nangong Lieye, at the back of her, abused Hua Yueling angrily. What he mentioned was the affair concerning the Wu's.

"Ping'er, there's a dog barking. How noisy! Let's have a rest ahead." Hua Yueling picked her ears and gone without looking back.

"Ha ha......" The spectators all roared with laughter, even the handsome man beside Nangong Lieye could not restrain from laughing.

"Hua! Yueling!" Nangong Lieye trembled with clenched fists.

"Ping'er, who said he doesn't know me? What a crazy dog that even barks at the one he doesn't know." Hua Yueling turned round with her eyebrow raised and looked at Nangong Lieye's angry face in a complacent air.

Then the Adonis in silver besides Nangong Lieye suddenly burst into persistent cough.
