My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You

Chapter 83 - A New Scheme



Chapter 83: A New Scheme

Luo Yuyan glanced left and right trying to spot Luo Qianqian when she sat on the carriage, but she couldn’t see Luo Qianqian.

“Father, where is my Fourth Sister? Is she going to the Palace tonight?” Luo Yuyan put on a smile and asked Prime Minister Luo.

Prime Minister Luo grinned and said arrogantly, “Of course your Fourth Sister is going, she’s my good daughter and she is going with Prince Eighth, we will meet in the Palace I’m sure.”

Luo Yuyan clenched her fists and her face reddened.

‘Going with Prince Eighth? How desperate do you want to show off? I’m telling you Luo Qianqian, sooner or later, I will look down upon you and laugh at you like the good old days, look at you eaten up with pride now!’

‘There can only be one young lady in the Prime Minister Mansion, Luo Keer is out of the game now, and you are the next one! You will die an ignominious death! I swear!’

Luo Yuyan took a deep breath and said, “I’m so happy for my sister, she’s betrothed to such a good man, always taking great care of her.”

Prime Minister Luo nodded and smiled, “Yes, Qianqian is a lucky girl”, then Prime Minister Luo looked at Luo Yuyan, “Yuyan, my good daughter, I will find you a perfect match too, the gathering tonight is a good opportunity to meet other princes, I hope you make the best use of the opportunity, you know what I mean?” with that Prime Minister Luo cast a meaningful glimpse at Luo Yuyan.

Luo Yuyan’s eyes sparkled and she replied, “Farther, I won’t disappoint you.”

Prime Minister Luo laughed, “I know, Yuyan has always been my pride.”

The First Lady and Luo Yuyan exchanged a look, ‘tonight I must shine.’

They arrived at the Palace after half an hour or so and they had to alight from the carriage and walk in the palace on foot.

There was already a line at the gate where the officials and their family members chatted in twos and threes when the Luos arrived.

Luo Yuyan saw her good friend Yue Qiqi, daughter of General Yue.

Yue Qiqi was about the same age as Luo Yuyan, and she was an outspoken girl because she was raised by a General. The two met at a Flower Admiring Gathering several years ago and became close friends, Luo Yuyan was happy to see Yue Qiqi.

Luo Yuyan excused herself and ran towards Yue Qiqi, and Yue Qiqi was excited to see her friend too.

“Yuyan, how have you been! But first things first, congratulations on winning the opportunity to learn from Master Lingtian, I bet you have forgotten your old friend already.” Yue Qiqi bantered.

Yue Qiqi was a bit different from the traditional young ladies growing up in the big mansions, she was very straightforward and she had been practising martial arts since she was a little girl.

Luo Yuyan took hold of Yue Qiqi’s hand and chuckled, “Qiqi, look at yourself, you haven’t changed a bit since I saw you last time, teasing me all the time. How could I forget about you, Qiqi, you are my best friend.”

Yue Qiqi was happy to hear that, “All right then, save all these sweet talk and remember to visit me more often.”

Luo Yuyan smiled and asked, “Qiqi, how have you been?”

“I’m just the same old, same old.” Yue Qiqi laughed.

Luo Yuyan shook her head in resignedly, “Qiqi, don’t laugh so loudly, we are in public now. You need to learn more about zither-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, they will help you to become more elegant and more poised.”

Yue Qiqi rolled her eyes and said, “Why do I have to be elegant and poised like you or basically every girl I’m seeing tonight? I don’t like it, it’s not me and it’s not how I was raised.”

“Right, Yuyan, what’s up with your Fourth Sister? I’ve heard so much about her recently, like you have no idea. She is engaged to Prince Eighth, right? How did that happen?”

Luo Yuyan’s lips twitched, she pretended to look around and whispered at Yue Qiqi’s ear, “Qiqi, listen, you don’t want to mess with my Fourth Sister, actually no one affords to mess with her now. I’m her sister, but even I don’t know exactly what has happened to her, she is a changed person after she recovered from a coma, she has won Prince Eighth’s heart and she has become Master Lingtian’s disciple! She has been acting like a queen back at home, bossing everyone around, I’m so afraid of her!”

Obviously Luo Yuyan was lying about what had happened, it was her who had forced Luo Qianqian to betrothed to Murong Yun, and now it was her who slandered Luo Qianqian due to jealousy.

Yue Qiqi frowned on hearing her friend being bossed around, she clenched her fists and asked, “Yuyan, don’t worry, tell me where your Fourth Sister is.”

Luo Yuyan pretended she was so hesitant to answer, “She… my Fourth Sister is… …”

Yue Qiqi was short-tempered, “Yuyan, just tell me already!”

A crooked smile flashed across Luo Yuyan’s face, “I bet she is with Prince Eighth now, Luo Qianqian has been seducing Prince Eighth since they got engaged, they have been together all the time, I bet they are in Prince Eighth’s carriage now.”

“How shameless!” Yue Qiqi exclaimed, “Sharing the same carriage?”

Luo Yuyan covered Yue Qiqi’s mouth, “Qiqi, quiet, people can hear you.”

“What a wanton! I should have just begged father to propose a marriage between me and Prince Eighth!” Yue Qiqi had a crush on Murong Yun since she met him on a gathering years ago.

Luo Yuyan’s eyes dimmed, “I know, right?”

Luo Yuyan regretted it too, she always blamed herself for not begging Prime Minister Luo to do the same thing!

A scheme came to Luo Yuyan’s mind, she whispered at Yue Qiqi’s ear, “Qiqi, do you want to be Prince Eighth’s princess?”

“Of course!” Yue Qiqi exclaimed.”

“Well, there’s a way.” Luo Yuyan said tantalizely.

“What are you talking about?” Yue Qiqi asked desperately.

“Just think, Qiqi, you are the daughter of General Yue’s legal wife, and Luo Qianqian is born by a concubine! I’m sure His Majesty likes you more than her, why not bring this up at dinner later, I’m sure it will work!”
