"Her Highness mentioned it a bit. I also can't say for sure. If Father's Concubine can't make the decision, then I had better go ask Father."

Even though she was only speaking nonchalantly in front of Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan herself could tell that it wouldn't be long before Empress Wang truly and possibly would grace the General's Mansion with her presence. It was only a matter of her putting a few things in order.

Seeing Luo Qing Luan walking away, Wang Xue Ru immediately pulled her back. "Ok. Don't go looking for your father. I can manage this kind of thing just fine." How would she dare to allow Luo Qing Luan to go see Luo Cheng. If she truly went to see him, it's very possible that with a few words, this girl could use the Empress' status to have him lay down the big bucks to build her a brand new courtyard from scratch. When that time came, she'd need to spend even more money.

"Alright. Alright. Isn't it just a matter of remodeling your courtyard? Your father's concubine can handle these things just fine. You'll surely be satisfied. Good now, right?" Wang Xue Ru couldn't help it. She could only be more generous while cursing Luo Qing Luan in her heart.

Sure enough, this girl was becoming more and more unbridled. Wielding the Empress' little bit of favor upon her, she was already so undisciplined and out of control. If in the future, she truly became the crown prince consort, wouldn't this girl step all over her and Qing Shuang?

No, she absolutely couldn't let this kind of thing happen.

"Nanny Li, watch her carefully for me. If there's any wind blowing or grass moving, immediately tell me about it." Deep hatred flashing through her eyes, Wang Xue Ru knead her hands, tightening one finger after another.

Rarely had she stepped into Flowery Frost Courtyard before, Luo Qing Luan knew that she wouldn't be living here for long and didn't even walk around the rest of the premises. She merely looked around Luo Qing Shuang's previous bedroom. "Dai Yue, have you changed everything?"

"Please be at ease, My Lady, besides the furniture previously used by the Eldest Lady, I've changed everything that you habitually use. I even had the butler find me a few people to change your bed. With a look, you can tell that this is the bed that you've been sleeping in." Dai Yue answered smilingly.

Luo Qing Luan nodded, pleased. "En. You're the smart one."

Dai Yue nodded. "I know that you won't be able to sleep in the Eldest Lady's bed. Me too," she started muttering as she continued speaking, "I also don't like to sleep in Chunmei's bed. Who knows whether she is dirty or not, has taken a shower, or if she has lice?"

She put her personal belongings in order, especially those items which were concealed within the secret compartment in her headboard. It started getting dark not long after.

Eating dinner at Flowery Frost Courtyard, she surveyed the scenery all around. The tall, dark green bayan looked like an imperial crown. In a corner, pink little flowers were blooming, set off by rows upon rows of neatly pruned flowerbed. Luo Qing Luan felt that this could be considered a form of benefit.

Standing at the window looking outside, the sunset reached as far as the eye could see, dying the sky a golden yellow color. The setting sun's fading glow gradually darkened.

"My Lady, I'm going to boil water for your bath, alright?" Dai Yue just finished speaking when her expression changed. "Hey, why's that person acting so sneakily? My Lady, look!" She pointed outside the window, but saw that the other person seemed to have sensed something and disappeared in a flash.

"Huh? Gone?"

Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. This was hardly unexpected.

Who sent that person? Was that still a question? Who could it be apart from Graceful Orchid Courtyard which was close by. Can't believe her father's concubine was still so deeply guarded against her. In the end, was it because she was afraid something would be discovered, or was it because there was some other secret motive. That's why she secretly paid close attention to her actions?

"No need to bother with it. We haven't done anything anyways. What are you worried about?" Luo Qing Luan paused, then continued, "But Dai Yue, if you discover that there's really a little thief who can't keep their hands and feet to themselves and dared to come in here, don't hesitate to call someone to beat them to death. That's certainly not overdoing it! If there's any consequences, I'll stand behind you, understand?"

She raised her voice when saying the last few sentences, purposefully allowing certain people to hear her.

Even thought she knew that Wang Xue Ru absolutely wouldn't allow her to act at will under her nose, it was still a good idea to scare her sometimes. Perhaps the other person might really unmask her true nature as a result!

…………

Crown Prince's mansion.

Beaded curtains rocked, producing melodious tinkling sounds. A maid in dark clothes held a pot of aged ice flower wine as she respectfully placed it on the table top. After that, she bowed and withdrew, not daring to be neglectful in the slightest.

There was nothing superfluous on the table. Three white jade plates, three dishes of food looked somewhat simple and crude. However, only someone who personally tasted these three dishes would know what it meant to prepare food with utmost care, what was meant by exotic delicacies.

"Ziqing, come, taste this sparrow tongue soup. Reportedly, this is indeed a cooking method which only exists in Dongwan country. It's the new cook who recently came who made this. I feel the flavor is acceptable." As Nangong Qing ate, he spoke. Even though his table manners was graceful, consuming food neither quickly, nor slowly, if other people were to see this, they'd still be shocked.

The high and mighty crown prince was actually so casual in private as well? Not speaking while eating was an old adage. Surprisingly, he didn't pay attention to this at all?

But with a look at that person sitting beside him, perhaps things would be made clear. If there was anyone in Western Chu who could say a few things to the cold faced Prince Nalan Ye, then maybe there was none other than Crown Prince Nangong Qing.

With regards to Nangong Qing's good intention, Nalan Ye nevertheless didn't say anything in reply. Apart from the half filled cup of ice flower wine in front of him, he didn't even touch the three dishes worth more than a thousand taels.
