The Princess Story's
The Cunning Plan Gu Ching Lien
The girl immediately thought what to say to her brother. The owner of this body of course never learned the science of medicine. He just kept quiet at home and was always disturbed by his mother and step-sister.
"How should I answer? What am I supposed to say? If you suspect me, what should I do?" ask the girl in your heart.
Ye Yuan could sense that his sister was having trouble answering that question. He did not want to make his sister have any trouble with his question.
Ye Yuan gently stroked the girl's face and said, "If meimei can't answer, then there's no need to answer. Tell me the answer when meimei is ready to say it."
Se Se smiled hearing her brother's words. He nodded his head in understanding.
Finished eating they walked to the front hall to meet the owner of the residence. Mr. Tjia is waiting there. There were two women standing next to him.
"Good morning Mr. Tjia" they said at the same time.
"Thank you for giving us a place to stay" Se Se said.
"There is no need to be so condescending." replied Mr. Tjia.
"We'll stay for a few more days. Forgive us for troubling you, sir!" said Ye Yuan.
"No, no trouble at all. Don't be too upset if you need anything. Ask the waiter to prepare it. Please sit down Young Master Ye Yuan and Princess Huang" Tjia said kindly.
"Are these your sons and wives?" ye Yuan asked looking at the two women who were standing.
"True, this is my wife Mrs Tjia and my daughter Tjia Mo Mo." said Mr. Tjia introducing his family.
"Minister Tjia Mo Mo's eyes from earlier kept paying attention to big brother. It seems like the girl is already captivated by my brother's handsome face" Se Se said inwardly with a smile.
Dad woke up from his long sleep. I changed the bandage every day and cleaned the wound that started to dry.
I asked who the perpetrator of the attempted murder of father was and what his motive was. They seem to be trying to cover it up. Because of their attitude, a conclusion that I can confirm, that person must have high power and one that should not be offended.
We stayed at the Tjia residence for a week. I can move smoothly. We'll excuse you to go back to Huang's house.
GU RESIDENCE
"Send all the invitations today" Mrs Gu said.
"Okay Madam." replied a servant.
"Mothers... Is mom going to have a banquet?" ask Gu Ching Lien.
"Yes, I will make you the future Crown Princess that day. Take care of your skin and face so that the Crown Prince is captivated by your beauty" Madam Gu said with a sly smile.
"Thank you ma'am." replied Gu Ching Lien hugging her mother.
"The banquet will be the beginning of the Gu family's well-being. I won't let another girl snatch the position of Crown Princess." Inner Lady Gu.
BANQUET DAY
Gu's residence was filled with invited guests. The Crown Prince came with King Wei. The banquet was held to celebrate the birthday of Grand Mistress Gu (Gu Ching Lien's Grandmother, Mr. Gu's mother).
Guests are served sumptuous food and some kind of wine. Some dancers are invited to entertain guests.
"The Crown Prince is very handsome" said a girl staring at the Crown Prince's face from a distance.
"King Wei also looked handsome, didn't the rumor say he was 50 years old"? said the girl in red.
"From his posture, King Wei did not look 50 years old.
Se Se sat sweetly with her brother enjoying the dish and listening to all the gossip from the women around. He turned his head towards King Wei and found that the man was looking at him.
King Wei smiled and raised the cup in his hand, taking the girl toast. The gossiping girls were shocked by what they had just seen.
"King Wei was very handsome with a smile on his face"
"Is he really the famous King of Wei?"
They asked inwardly each of them still with shocked gazes looking at the notoriously cruel and sadistic man currently smiling sweetly.
Se Se knows that the man deliberately did it so that he was targeted by the gossip girls. "Kc... Why is this guy always making trouble!" angryness.
He ignored the man and pretended not to see him. The man smiled more and more at the girl's behavior.
"It looks like Uncle is taking a lot of care of the girl" the Crown Prince said.
"really?" King Wei's forehead shriveled.
"I just feel like he's very attractive". said King Wei again.
"Does Uncle regret that Uncle's marriage was cancelled? ask the Crown Prince.
King Wei turned to Se Se and replied, "A little bit"
The Crown Prince was rather surprised to hear his uncle's honesty and then he smiled. "It seems like Uncle has really fallen for that miss" she said.
A servant walked up to the Crown Prince and stopped in front of him. He bowed his body and said, "Your Majesty... The servant miss invited Her Majesty to the Orchid Pavilion."
"Who's your miss?" ask the Crown Prince.
"Miss servant named Gu Ching Lien. First daughter of Great Lord Gu." replied the servant.
The Crown Prince and King Wei looked at each other, then the Crown Prince invited King Wei to join the Orchid Pavilion with him.
Gu Ching Lien sat in a gazebo surrounded by orchid plants. He welcomed the arrival of the Crown Prince with a seductive smile. But his smile was gone when he saw the young man who had come with the Crown Prince.
"Why did King Wei come here? I can't continue my plan if he's still here" Inner Gu Ching Lien.
His face smiled again as another plan flashed through his head. He whispered to the servant beside him and the servant nodded in understanding, the servant walked towards the banquet hall and did as Gu Ching Lien ordered.
The waiter picked up a pot of wine and walked towards Se Se. He spilled the wine on his shirt.
"Pardon Princess Huang's servant, the servant unintentionally" said the maid while prostrating.
Ye Yuan was worried for his sister and helped wipe the wine off her shoulders. Se Se stood up from his seat and said to the waiter, "I'm fine, stand up!"
"Please follow the servant to the room to dry the Princess's clothes" said the maid.
"Go, big brother will be waiting for you here" Ye Yuan said.
The waiter escorted Se Se to a room behind the Orchid Pavilion.
"Hamba will provide warm water for the Princess to clean herself" said the waiter then out of there.
The waiter brought back a bucket of warm water. She helped Se Se take off her outerwear and brought the clothes with her.
Se Se took out a cloth hanging above the room divider, he put the cloth into the water and rinsed it. He wiped his body which was hit by a splash of wine and then sat in the room waiting for the waiter.
The waiter walked back to the Orchid Pavilion and blinked his eyes at Gu Ching Lien signalling his task was done.
Gu Ching Lien stood up and poured wine into the Crown Prince's glass, he purposely dropped the glass in his hand and spilled wine soaked the young man's clothes.
"Sorry Your Majesty... I didn't mean it" he said with a face pretending to be guilty.
"What did this girl plan?" inner King Wei.
