Chapter 102 Dirty Tricks (2/2)
”What we should do is to let His Majesty think that Tang Xia does not like him. Think about it, how can His Majesty tolerate a woman not liking him? Such a thing will definitely irritate him so that it will be easy to get rid of Tang Xia later.”
All the imperial concubines present, smiled right away as they knew the meaning of Zui Linglong's words.
Indeed, as long as His Majesty thought that Tang Xia did not like him, His Majesty must be pissed off. How could he let such a thing happen?
It was truly a good way.
But how would they let His Majesty believe that Tang Xia did not like him? It was a little tricky.
”So what should we do to let His Majesty believe that Tang Xia does not like him? It is a bit difficult.”
However, Zui Linglong acted like she had a well-thought-out plan without any trace of puzzlement. Her composed eyes and crooked mouth indicated that she had a surefire way.
”Don't worry. I have a card up my sleeve.”
”What is it? Let us know so that we can prepare and help you.”
Zui Linglong shook her head mysteriously. Then she looked at the flickering candlelight and said,
”You need to do nothing. The only thing you can do is to wait.”
The imperial concubines wanted to say more. But the moment they saw the flickering fire with its somewhat powerful force in Zui Linglong's eyes, they held back their questions and left as quietly as they came.
Everything was at peace as if nothing had happened. But it was the calm before the storm. A good show could be expected.
Above all, Zui Linglong felt the opportunity was coming close so that the show would start soon.
When Tang Xia was sleeping deeply at night, she sneezed suddenly and said with sleepy eyes,
”Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?”
Several days later, a prince from Country of Nanmen would come to the Country of Xia. Tang Xia learned secretly that he was a super handsome guy,
He was as charismatic as the male celebrity in her modern time. And above all, the prince was a handsome guy without the help of plastic surgery. Tang Xia would receive the prince on behalf of her country.
Tang Xia felt quite satisfied at the thought of this and thanked Chu Tiankuo for giving her such a good chance to appreciate the prince's charm.
On that day, Tang Xia got up early to let her maid freshen her up. What's more, she wore a pink embroidered long robe with an ornate hairpin so that crisp and pleasant sounds would linger in the ears when she walked.
Then she hurriedly asked her maid whether she looked beautiful. After getting a positive answer, Tang Xia who was surrounded by people, went to receive the prince from Country Nanmen—Nanmen Yi.
When Tang Xia saw Nanmen Yi in person, she was almost shocked by his glamor as she did not expect that he would be so handsome. It was truly like the old saying that 'the beauty in the high places is like jade, while that of a handsome young man is unmatched in the world'.
What a charismatic young man! He was like the Adonis in the picture.
His black hair was held up by a jade crown while his skin was as fair as snow and his eyes were as shiny as stars. But his charisma was not the high-profiled type.
Instead, he had an air of elegance and tenderness, which made him as mild as a painting which stayed there quietly.
Today, Nanmen Yi wore white fancy clothes with only some patterns of pine and bamboo. There were no other ornaments on him, except for one jade pendant attached to his waist.
Tang Xia became his fan immediately. And her reasoning refrained her from carrying out any indiscreet behavior.
”You must feel exhausted from a long journey. Go and freshen up and have a good rest.”
However, Nanmen Yi refused Tang Xia's suggestion politely. Faint as his smile was, Tang Xia regarded it as beautiful as the shiny star.
”I come here shouldering the responsibility for our country, so I dare not have a rest. It will be better to start my mission soon.”
Tang Xia became more impressed by him, ”What a responsible man!”
”Could you tell me what your important task is?”
Nanmen Yi smiled.
”Of course. My father told me to come to the Country of Xia so that I can ask Zui Linglong to divine the fortune of our country. So I dare not have a rest as I should put our national interests first.”
Then Tang Xia had someone invite Zui Linglong. Zui Linglong came in a short time, and Nanmen Yi made a gesture indicating 'please' and said to her.
”Could you please divine the fortune of our country? My father has always been concerned about it so I dare not forget that. Please tell me the results after you divine the fortune of our country.”
After Zui Linglong nodded, Nanmen Yi said.
”Let's start the divination.”
