The Fourth Lady

Chapter 125 Qilian Yuran

"Fourth brother, how's imperial mother's situation?" Seeing Xuanyuan Yuzhen walking out, Xuanyuan

Yukai promptly went up to ask, "Is she still not agreeing to go?"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen recalled Qilian Yuran's words from earlier, "She said to wait until the performance

segment, before coming. I hope that nothing will happen when the time comes." Xuanyuan Yuzhen

clenched his fist as he said this.

"Then I'll go inform imperial father. To be able to see imperial mother, he definitely will be very happy."

Before waiting for Xuanyuan Yuzhen to react, Xuanyuan Yukai's figure had already disappeared in front

of him.

But whatever. It certainly seems to have been long time since imperial mother has seen imperial father.

One year, two years, or is it even longer? Perhaps it has probably been about five year's time?

He still remembered his imperial mother's appearance that year when she heard the news of sister

Qingyan's death. She kneeled outside father's sleeping chamber and kneeled for a whole day and

night. Ultimately, because her body couldn't endure anymore, she eventually collapsed.

Imperial father, in the end, still felt sorry for imperial mother.

But ever since then, imperial mother never met with imperial father ever again.

Gazing at the horizontal inscription board above Guan Ju Palace, Xuanyuan Yuzhen walked away in

long strides.

Tonight was bound to be a restless night.

Meanwhile, Luo Bing and the others have already arrived at the Dragon Gate Banquet site in advance.

Everyone watched Luo Bing's appearance, but not a single person was willing to go up and talk to Luo

Bing, because they were all waiting to see Luo Bing become a joke. And year after year, Luo Bing

certainly did end up as their laughing stock.

Especially that Dragon Gate Banquet three years ago. Originally a perfectly fine banquet, yet in the end

it became Su Yun's greatest embarrassment in his lifetime.

Seems like today, there'll definitely be a good show too. Seeing Luo Bing's brows tightly lock up,

everyone inevitably wanted to start laughing.

Luo Bing and Su Yun were both descendants from military lineage, but regrettably, gave birth to an idiot

daughter.

When Liu Yueqiong walked in, she saw Luo Bing standing there by herself, not knowing what she's

thinking about. She walked up next to Luo Bing and spoke with a smile, "Big sister, why are you in such

deep thought?"

When Luo Bing heard this voice, she raised her head to see Liu Yueqiong standing in front of her. She

replied with a smile, "Yue'er, long time to no see."

"Father and mother have been thinking about you a lot recently. Come and visit them sometime with

Yan'er and Yu'er." Liu Yueqiong looked to Luo Bing with a gentle smile, "Why don't I see that girl

Yan'er?" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"We were a step ahead. Who knows what kind of trouble Yan'er will run into at the palace gate." When

Luo Bing thought of this, her brows inevitably furrowed.

"I heard just now that the third madam and second madam were making things difficult for Yan'er at the

palace gates. However, at present, Yan'er should have already entered the palace, but why hasn't she

appeared at the banquet yet? This is really shocking." When Liu Yueqiong appeared at the palace

gates with Luo Yixin, she just happened to witness the earlier scene.

But they surely did enter the palace ahead of them.

"Mother, look, do you think these flowers in daughter's hands are pretty?"

When Luo Bing heard this voice and turned to look, she saw a bundle of flower held in Qingyan's

hands, and the color of those flowers was also multi-colored.

Everyone also turned to look when they heard this voice. The gold and black colored embroidered

velvet silk robe worn on Qingyan gave a dignified feeling. It seemed as if this young girl before their

eyes was a natural born nobility.

"Yan'er, where did you go? Why did you come just now?" Seeing everyone's gaze, Luo Bing walked

towards Qingyan. Qingyan grinningly shoved the flowers in her hands into Luo Bing's.

"Just now, I went with the Princess and Lexia Junzhu to the Imperial Gardens to pick these flowers."

Qingyan looked to Luo Bing with a gentle smile.

Luo Bing didn't see Su Qingxue and Su Qingcong, "What about the other two?"

"Xue'er and Cong'er are following by Princess and Lexia Junzhu's side, they'll take good care of them."

Qingyan dusted the dirt from her clothes and spoke, still smiling, "Mother, why isn't father with you?"

"Your father naturally has his matters." Luo Bing held Qingyan's hand and walked her over to Liu

Yueqiong's side. "Yan'er, this is your first (maternal*) aunt."

(*T/N: Chinese terms for relatives are very specific in their relationship; she is refer to as 'jiuma' which

means mother's brother's wife.)

Liu Yueqiong looked to Qingyan before her and smiled, "Yan'er, long time no see."

"Yan'er greets first aunt." Qingyan faced Liu Yueqiong and properly bowed.

This Liu Yueqiong before her was Luo Bing's close friend, and also first (maternal) uncle's legal wife

from (maternal) grandfather's manor. Furthermore, she's Luo Yixin's mother. When she thought of this,

Qingyan followed everyone's gaze and saw in the crowd Luo Yixin's figure. It seems she has run into

some trouble.

"First (maternal) aunt, I'll go look at Xin'er." After receiving affirmation, Qingyan advanced towards Luo

Yixin's direction.

And before she even reached Luo Yixin, she heard another voice sounding, "What? Luo Yixin, from the

looks of it, you and that wench Qingyan are on the same side."

"What does that have to do with you? Luo Yiqian, at least Qingyan is also our cousin, how can you say

that about her?" Luo Yixin look to Luo Yiqian and calmly spoke, "And Yan'er isn't like how you think."

"How is she not? She's just a whore." Luo Yiqian looked to Luo Yixin and scoffed. "Doesn't she also

look down on you at Bogu Hall? Why put on an act here?"

"Qian'er, could it be that Luo Yixin isn't welcomed at Bogu Hall?" The girl standing next to Luo Yiqian

opened her mouth and asked, "Didn't you say the students in Bogu Hall are all easy to get along with?"

"But this Luo Yixin just has to be friends with Su Qingyan. Just let them face hardship together then."

Luo Yiqian said as she raised her hand, wanting to give Luo Yixin a slap. Truthfully speaking, she'd

already wanted to do this since long ago.

But just as her hand was lifted, it was hit by a pebble. She saw that her hand was swollen, "Luo Yixin,

just what did you do?"

"Divine retribution, don't you know?"

When Luo Yiqian heard this voice and turned around, she saw Su Qingyan standing nearby holding her

own wrist. "Luo Yiqian, good and evil, yet to be compensated, not because it won't be compensated,

but because the time has yet to come." She walked up next to Luo Yiqian and said in a cold voice.

"Yan'er, why did you come?" Luo Yixin didn't expect that Su Qingyan would appear at this time, and

she didn't think that she would let Qingyan see her in such a sorry state.

"No matter, I just can't stand seeing people bullying others like this. I better take you with me to the

Imperial Gardens." Su Qingyan walked over next to Luo Yixin and grasped her hand.

"Su Qingyan, did you think the Imperial Gardens is a place someone with your status can enter?" Luo

Yiqian looked to Su Qingyan and sneered.

Heh. Qingyan turned around and coldly snorted at her.

"Many thanks for the worries. Whether I can or can't enter, how does that relate to you?" That said, she

directly pulled Luo Yixin along towards the directions of the Imperial Garden.

Luo Yixin, seeing that Su Qingyan moved along without being obstructed the whole way, couldn't help

getting curious. But she then suddenly remembered that last time during the Talent Conference, she

was personally bestowed the title of 'Junzhu' by the Emperor.

"Yan'er, you're here. We were just thinking when will you finally be back."

Hearing this voice, Luo Yixin looked over and saw the Seventh Princess, Xuanyuan Yuning, and Lexia

Junzhu, Mu Zhimin. She quickly bowed to them, "Greetings, Princess, Junzhu."
