Why does he stare at me like that?I get a feeling that I am a lamb and he is a tiger that is about to eat me. He is stronger than me, I can't explain how I really wish that the author of this book could have given some superpower to this character Luli. It would have been so good if this was a fantasy novel instead of a romantic one.Wait...!Was this a romantic novel?I don't know even the genre of this second part. What am I thinking?Is that even necessary to think about that when I am stuck in his arms, that too, like this? As I couldn't get out of here myself, why not let him do that for me?I put my hands near his nose, and he jolted and loosened his grip, that fraction of a second was enough for me to get away from him, "You...!" he hissed in anger gritting his teeth where I stood at a distance grinning.I can't believe that a monster like him actually has a weakness...!I must thank that concubine Jin for that...!In fact, I should ask her to give me more of that perfume.
Xicheng's pov...That banquet was so important for me because it was for my only blood brother, XiLiang, he was returning after spending three long years on the battlefield, he could have returned last year if he hadn't been angry with me because I forcibly married to Empress mother's niece, he was against that marriage but I did that because I had my reasons. He was so angry that he canceled his visit to me, the moment he heard that I married Queen Luli.I couldn't convince him, even after sending him many gifts and letters, I think finally he forgave me and suddenly sent me a letter that he will be returning to the capital soon, it was a surprise for me. I was so happy about his return and so I wanted to give him a grand welcome. I had been busy with the preparation and the court issues all this day, and after a tiring schedule, I finally got to see him tonight after three years.He was eighteen years old when he left for the battlefield, and now he will be a grown-up man of twent
Xi Cheng's pov..."Oh... do it if you are capable of doing that," I supported her for the first time in my life, "Concubine Jin, you have a good body, I heard you are talented too, there are no entertainers today to perform in front of us, why don't you take this opportunity to show your talent and also grab the chance to apologize to me and his highness...?" that was a good idea, there was really no performer in the banquet, as the best performer of the city had fractured her leg, Jimwei was a talented woman in terms of dance, it will be good if she performs. XiLiang will definitely like it. "It's settled then, concubine Jin, behave yourself from now on...!" I warned her before leaving as she was about to start her weeping drama. I looked at Luli once before getting out, this girl drives me crazy about her. If it isn't a banquet, I would have eaten her....!XiLiang came after a while. We all sit to enjoy the banquet, it was so prosperous and good, I was feeling so overwhelmed to se
Shelly's pov...It was dark in that room despite it being early in the morning, just a beam of light falling from the roof barely enough to recognize things around me.I can't accept this as my fate, I need to fight back against those who want me to shed tears, against those who can't see me be happy. It doesn't matter which world I am in, the struggles will be the same, but I was never the person to accept my defeat until my mind says that I lost.I got up tearing the curtain cloth which was wrapped around me, and untie my hands from that loose grip of the piece of cloth that was tied on them.As I freed myself, I peeped around to find something useful but that place was like a stable, with nothing but broken wood planks, ropes, and dry grass everywhere.When I moved further, I found some scrap clothes piled up in a corner, jerking them off to remove any harmful insects, I took them to the beam of the light to see if they can help me get changed.Those were some thin and blunt men's
As I heard those sounds coming from the other side of the room, I was sure something was wrong with Huahua and her mother Manhua, but how could I help them,I had been patient enough for a long but when I heard someone slapping them, I clenched my fist, I can't tolerate this anymore, Deep inside me, I feel like those people may be here for me, so I can't go like this too.Fortunately, I have so many things here to hide myself and my look. This is a changing room to begin with, with many varieties of makeup things and dresses, I wore a male dress with vibrant colors and piled my hair dividing it into two halves and rolling them like two fountains on my head.I looked into the mirror and couldn't help to laugh, I think that was enough for my hair.I took out the makeup and covered my face with weird black color spots all over my face and on my teeth and completely tanning myself with the dark brown color. It gave me the most dangerous look ever. As I opened the door slightly, I saw a
I can't go in like this but I can wash this before I can go in, I looked around and found a short lake-like arrangement, covered with curtains, as I peeped in, there was no one, Hoo...!Finally, after a long-running race, I got some time to take a bath, as I touched the water, surprisingly it was hot, that's amazing, people in this land have so many arrangements, they even have a hot water pool, or lake whatever...!It's going to be awesome...!I took off my clothes, not completely, just those shabby ones, and freed my hair and got into the hot water with my inners on, After washing off all that makeup, I felt my skin alive again, it was so comfortable to take a hot bath now. I closed my eyes and was swimming upside down, facing the water, it's a good thing for mind relaxation. when I heard someone jumping into the pool, I was startled but before I could realize who that was, I was already in someone's hug, "Who...!" that back hug again, I think I know who that was, "Leave me...!"
I was sorting out the things that were jumbled in my mind, How could Jinwei know that I was abducted?Why does she say that it was XiLiang, that took me away?What the hell she was trying to do?"Tell me...! Did you sleep with him?" my aunt held my neck again, letting out such a slutty talk, "What...the hell aunt are you...!" I stopped my words, no matter how much I wanted to scold her, I can't do that directly, "Aunt, I was abducted by someone, they knocked me out and threw me in a shabby place, there was no one around, and I faced hell getting out of that room...!" I told her how hard it was for me to escape that place, She kept a puzzled face and was staring at me seriously, "Come on aunt, just think about it, why Jinwei informed you rather than go to the king? huh? and why her grandmother came early in the morning just to mock you about your niece?" I walked near to her, "She tried to push me into the lake last night, but I was saved, that might have given her a defeated fee
Shelly's pov...When I reached the Imperial kitchen I saw the servants ignoring me, "Who was the brave one that hit my maid...?" but even when I asked him none of them responded to me, Am I invisible?I tolerated it for a while but that behavior was a little too much to be tolerated."Who is the head here?" I yelled at them but they still ignored me, that was my limit with those tormentors, I strode forward and reversed a big container with boiling oil, they jolted back and then a middle-aged woman marched to me, "It's me... what will you do?" she tilted her head disrespectfully and was talking me that I was nothing there, I wanted to slap her but she held my hand, the maid beside me, jerked forwards, "How dare you stop the queen?" she started yelling at her but was beaten by the other maids working there, I was so shocked by their attitudes, How dare they?"You dare to disrespect me...!" I grunted, but she twisted my hand, "It was enough that I didn't beat you up because of yo
