Chapter 184: Threaten and Tempt

The Moon Lake was at the foot of the Moon Mountain and far away from the noisy capital city. In early autumn, the breeze rippled the shining water on the surface of the lake, and it looked quiet and beautiful, like a princess who had been sleeping for one thousand years.

The party was held by the Moon Lake, and there was a corridor set up around the lake, decorated with roses, like a fantastic wonderland.

Shi Qingxue told the servants to collect the scattered petals and put them on the ground, which looked like a square flower sea.

“It’s so beautiful!” Mo Yuzhen could hardly look away from the beautiful scenery in front of her eyes.

She grabbed Qingxue’s hand and shouted joyfully, “Qingxue, how come you got the idea of decorating it like this? It is like the residence of the fairies in the sky. It’s so beautiful that I can’t believe what I have seen.”

“It’s nothing. I learnt it from a book and thought it must be great. It happens that I have a chance to try. I haven’t expected that it turns out to be so nice.” Shi Qingxue was also surprised.

In the beginning, she just wanted to make a special spot to attract attention, but the result was beyond her expectation.

“Anyway, it’s perfect!” Mo Yuzhen didn’t care about the cause and effect. She didn’t believe that Zhao Niaoniao would be indifferent to the scene which even fascinated her.

Mo Yuzhen moved closer to Shi Qingxue and whispered, “Hmm, my brother will come later.”

“He will come to a girls’ party…” Shi Qingxue understood it before she finished her words, sighing helplessly.

Mo Junjiu did so much in order to please Zhao Niaoniao.

And Shi Qingxue doubted if Mo Junjiu could succeed. After all, the princess from the Zhao Country was still in love with Mo Junyang seemingly.

She shrugged to show that she didn’t want to get involved and just reminded, “Don’t say that I am not loyal to friends later.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t want to talk with others insincerely and might leave in the middle of the party.

But she was not lucky enough. The noble ladies were satisfied with the decoration after coming and surrounded Shi Qingxue to ask many questions especially when they heard that it was her idea.

“Gee, isn’t it just an archway made of petals and branches? Is it rare? You are so inexperienced.” A sarcastic female voice stood out in the buzz.

Everybody quieted down soon and looked at Zhao Niaoniao at the same time who was speaking.

Zhao Niaoniao looked at Mo Yuzhen with provocation, or rather Shi Qingxue behind her.

Mo Yuzhen was hot-tempered and would go ballistic before, but now she still remembered what Mo Junjiu had told her to do, so she restrained her anger and stated casually, “Of course petals and branches are common to see, but what they can make depends on a person’s imagination and design. What a pity that Princess Niaoniao has different taste from us.”

She mocked at Zhao Niaoniao’s weird taste as she can’t appreciate the beauty of the archways.

Zhao Niaoniao certainly understood it and blushed out of anger, but as so many people were looking at her, she couldn’t lose temper because of such a trifle.

She just turned her sharp eyes to Shi Qingxue and sneered. “Right. I have heard long ago that Shi Qingxue has many original ideas and is quite capable. I have witnessed your creativity. Can I see how capable you are?”

She asked for permission but obviously didn’t give Shi Qingxue a chance to refuse.

“Follow me!” She left two words and then walked ahead.

Zhao Niaoniao’s maid instantly stood in front of Shi Qingxue and arrogantly made a gesture to invite her.

“You!” For the first time, Mo Yuzhen’s authority was provoked. She couldn’t endure it even if the other party was a princess from an allied country and her future sister-in-law.

Shi Qingxue grasped Mo Yuzhen’s hand in advance and silently suppressed her anger. Then she said impassively, “Your Highness, since you think highly of me, I will agree.”

The maid thought Qingxue could be bullied easily and got more conceited, holding her chin high. “You are sensible.”

Shi Qingxue unhurriedly accepted her arrogance but asked when passing by, “I will be sensible in front of somebody special. Do you think your lady will make things difficult for our country because I kill a maid?”

This was a Rank-1 maid of Zhao Niaoniao, and she always behaved like a tyrant. Even the noble ladies would respect her. It was the first time that her identity was pointed out directly, and she couldn’t refute, so she looked terrible in an instant.

Then Mo Yuzhen added to warn her, “It’s easier for me to kill you than to kill an ant. If you don’t believe me, you can have a try.”

The maid trembled and was unable to speak.

After threatening the maid, Shi Qingxue felt happy and followed Zhao Niaoniao into a forest.

There was nobody else around, and it appeared that they would talk in private.

Shi Qingxue thought that Zhao Niaoniao asked her to come here alone not to see her capability or compete with her.

“I can satisfy one of your requirements.”

While Qingxue was thinking, Zhao Niaoniao spoke straightforwardly.

Shi Qingxue was stunned for merely a second and then nodded at once. “Okay!”

Zhao Niaoniao was unable to reply. At this time, Shi Qingxue didn’t ask why but gave an answer beyond expectation. How would she continue?

“Your Highness, you are so kind. Even if I don’t deserve it, I can’t turn down your offer,” Shi Qingxue added leisurely and made Zhao Niaoniao shut up with her face turning pale, red and then black.

It was colorful.

After quite a while, Zhao Niaoniao managed to restrain her anger and laughed scornfully. “I don’t want to say something useless. I can meet one of your demands under the condition that you can’t pester Junyang.”

“A demand?” Shi Qingxue repeated with interest and felt it laughable and amazing. Zhao Niaoniao wanted to tempt her with private interests?

Zhao Niaoniao didn’t think her offer ridiculous but stressed solemnly, “Right, whatever demand is okay, as long as you promise not to see Junyang in the future.”

The condition was more strict as “not to pester” was replaced with “not to see” because Zhao Niaoniao had a strong feeling that Shi Qingxue was a threat to her.

In fact, they had met only twice and never talked with each other, but Zhao Niaoniao firmly believed that Mo Junyang treated this woman in a special way. She wouldn’t let such a dangerous and greedy woman get close to him. She thought Shi Qingxue was greedy as the latter showed an interest in her temptation.

Shi Qingxue almost laughed loud but controlled herself. Then she pretended to be serious and stated, “If any requirement is okay, I want the Zhao Country to become a kingdom of our country.”

Zhao Niaoniao was petrified and stared at Shi Qingxue blankly. “What did you say?”

Even though the princess from the Zhao Country had experienced a lot, she thought her ears were tingling as she was scared by the high price Shi Qingxue had asked.

Shi Qingxue smiled. “You heard me!”

Confusion was shown on Zhao Niaoniao’s face, and after a long time, she realized that Shi Qingxue messed her around and then became angry from shame. “Shi Qingxue, I am serious. Don’t intentionally bring up such an unrealistic offer to joke with me, okay?”

Shi Qingxue blinked innocently. “No. You said whatever demand is okay.”

Zhao Niaoniao was speechless.

Seeing that the princess was about to go crazy, Shi Qingxue made a gesture of submission and said on purpose, “Fine, I know that, with your ability, it’s difficult for you to do something like this. Then I will make it easier.”

Zhao Niaoniao’s face fell. “What?”

“Hmm, just give up your position as a princess,” Shi Qingxue replied leisurely.

The princess of the Zhao Country turned ghastly pale and pointed her trembling finger at Shi Qingxue. “Shi Qingxue, don’t push me too hard.”

“Gee? Did I push you? You said that…”

“Huh! You just mentioned something unrealistic and purposely made difficulties for me. Didn’t you bully me?” Zhao Niaoniao goggled in anxiety.

Shi Qingxue showed that she was innocent. “It’s fine that you can’t do the first thing. I just told you to give up your position as a princess, and you can make it after saying something. Why is it unrealistic?

“Just admit that you don’t want to give up your position as a princess, and I won’t put you in an awkward position! What a pity. If Junyang knows that he is not as important as a status to you, what will he think?”

“You!” Zhao Niaoniao was provoked and blushed with shame. She almost blurted, “I can give up my position as a princess” but controlled herself in the end.

Zhao Niaoniao had the awareness of this point.

She was clear that Mo Junyang didn’t love her. Even if he agreed to marry her, it must be because of her social status.

But she didn’t mind. She wanted to marry Junyang and would feel contented as long as she could help and own this man. While the status as a princess of the Zhao Country was her greatest advantage to make her the future King Rui’s wife. She wouldn’t give it up after Shi Qingxue provoked her with only a few words.

Zhao Niaoniao raised her chin arrogantly, even though she was not tall enough to look down at Shi Qingxue, and then expressed coldly, “Do you think that I have no idea about your intention? Don’t you just want to ruin the relationship between me and Junyang? But he is not here, and you are bound to fail.”

“Oh.” Shi Qingxue shrugged and didn’t care.

Anyway, she just felt bored and joked about this princess. Even if Zhao Niaoniao really agreed to give up her position as a princess, would she be not a princess of the Zhao Country?

That was impossible.

So it gave Shi Qingxue a chance to refuse Zhao Niaoniao openly. “Your Highness, since you can’t make it, please forgive me. I can’t do it, either.”

She couldn’t avoid seeing Mo Junyang or even give him up.

She had decided not to see Mo Junyang before she regained her memory, but when she could remember the past, she would still make it clear to him. She had never thought that she would lose her memory thoroughly, and she would be able to remember everything someday.

“Shi Qingxue, don’t decline my kind offer. You will suffer. I just don’t want to hurt you, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t do anything to you.” Zhao Niaoniao’s voice was cold.

She failed in tempting Shi Qingxue, so she threatened her.

Shi Qingxue wasn’t afraid but laughed. “I wonder what you are going to do to me, Your Highness.”
