My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 20

The night has passed so quickly, the dark color that adorns the night sky slowly disappears replaced by light blue color that adorns the bright morning sky. The light of the sunlight began to erase the cold traces left by the night, slowly the warmth greeted the entire population of the royal capital Zhang.

I have not been able to see the beautiful view of the rising of the sun in the eastern palace which is the residence of the crown prince Liang. My arrival here was not to force him to forget the eldest daughter of the Ma residence, but rather to ask him to train Bo Qin just as he trained all of his Shi Rong soldiers.

Because I came too early in the morning, I finally chose to enjoy the sunrise and sit on a sturdy branch of a cherry tree. No need to ask how I could climb the big tree, of course I did it with great difficulty especially I wore hanfu. My climbing movements are very difficult and limited, I almost almost despair because I often fall. But effort never betrays results. In all my trials, I finally managed to climb the cherry tree that was beside the residence of the crown prince Liang. I can be satisfied and feel proud to still be able to see the beauty of the sunrise in a place that I think will be very suitable to see the scenery.

"Where's Mu Lan's daughter, didn't you say may this crown prince come here?"

Crown Prince Liang's question greeted my hearing, I turned to my side and found my brother who was complete with the great clothes of his crown son. His handsome face that always displays a flat expression now looks upset, maybe because the morning must be disturbed by the eunuchs or ladies who wake him when he sleeps. Feeling guilty for crown prince Liang's anger and resentment towards his subordinates, I then summoned crown prince Liang.

"Gege..!"

Crown Prince Liang who was very female with my voice then turned his head right and left while looking for my figure, I realized that if my brother was looking for my existence then again voiced to tell my position.

"Gege I'm up here!" my yell that succeeded made crown prince Liang look to the right side and look up his head. For a moment I could see the look on his surprised face, and no matter how long it took my brother to step quickly under the tree with all the scolding coming out of his mouth.

"May may what are you doing up there?"

"May may, you're a royal princess. How can you behave like a man by climbing a big tree? You should be gentle like most girls, not like this," said the crown prince Liang with one of his hands starting to twitch his throbbing forehead. "Then how did you get there? Let's get down!" his orders

I then sighed and guiltlessly answered "I'm not good at getting off the gege"

Hearing my reply, crown prince Liang then hit his forehead firmly. He then reviled me and expressed all his frustration because of my attitude. I knew he was scolding me for my own good, so I was not angry at all and took heart with every word.

"From gege's constant rage, why doesn't gege help me down?" much

"What do you mean, don't tell me you're gonna --

"Gege get me!" cut me and then jump the lucky crown prince Liang swiftly caught me.

The resentful crown prince Liang then lowered me from his carrier, he then touched my forehead firmly until I grimaced in pain "Why are you doing something crazy like this? Are you tired of living?" snapped the crown prince Liang whom I returned with a belt.

"Then why did you jump? you know it's not that if I fail to catch you that you can break or worse than that you die" exasperated crown prince Liang

"I won't experience both because I know the gege reflex very quickly" I replied which left crown prince Liang stunned.

On the other hand, in the residence of the Ma family. Ma Mei Rong had just returned home at her family residence when the sun had risen. He casually entered the Ma family residence without obstacles, his presence now in the courtyard of the main hall of the Ma residence made the servants or guards think if his figure had been at home, non-descendants like the women******* who promise warmth that is worth the cost.

Either because he's too smart, or he's too shrewd that no one noticed his absence last night. Perhaps because he has experience in doing this so that he does not leave any traces or blemishes that make them smell his mischief outside.

Ma Mei Rong stepped towards his residence, he arrogantly walked over and ignored the greetings of the maids or guards who came across him. They should have been used to being ignored or treated inhumanely by the youngest daughter of the Ma residence, but still the frustration will continue to linger in their hearts because of Ma Mei Rong's attitude which is very contrary to Ma Xiao Qing.

Often times when Ma Mei Rong will be angry when often he compared the air that for everyone is perfect. As perfect as she was, the young men who had once fallen for her were still hard pressed to forget her even when Ma Xiao Qing's status had changed to that of Luo's mistress.

Ma Mei Rong's feelings of anger and hatred slowly disappeared, as time swirled rapidly and the changes to her were apparent. Although not as smart as her brother, her beauty can be said to be one level above Ma Xiao Qing. And Ma Mei Rong will proudly praise her for conquering young general Wu Cheng.

Although their relationship is not known to the public, they, Mei Rong could still be proud no matter how in the eyes or heart of General Wu Cheng there was only himself so foolishly Mei Rong believed the sweet words of young general Wu Cheng. He would not worry even if there would be another more beautiful girl and everything on his appeal, because young general Wu Cheng was only his and he would not let go of the young man.

Even if her relationship broke with the young man who was 5 years older with her, Mei Rong would never let their relationship end. Because Mei Rong would have dismantled all of Wu Cheng's young general's plans, accusing him of having fucked her up even if it was actually the will of both of them, and if young general Wu Cheng still insisted on ending his relationship with her, he said, he will take his case to justice until General Wu Cheng has no choice but to marry him. For Mei Rong, it did not matter if after that he would be treated coldly by her, most importantly at least he would become a legitimate furen in the Wu residence.
