Feng Yin Tian Xia

World of Hidden Phoenixes Chapter 25

Siqin was indeed a favorable occupation. She only needed to go to Xiao Yin’s room every night to make his bed and then neaten the blankets again in the morning of the next day. However, even though it was an easy job, she inevitably had to meet Xiao Yin many times. If it were the servant girls who secretly had crushes on Xiao Yin, they would most definitely be happy to the point where there was nothing that could make them happier. However, to Hua Zhu Yu, this was torment.

With her seeing Xiao Yin so often, if she escaped, wouldn’t he be the first to notice? Not only that, other than that red-robed concubine, he had not invited any other people. As the saying foes, if there are many people in one place, slowly, there will be some bad rumors begin to circulate.

Today, taking advantage of the lack of people around, Hua Zhu Yu went to the Taizi residence’s courtyard to observe the topography of it. The hand on her wound had gradually recovered. She could now move it. Once she found an opportunity she would definitely attempt to leave as early as possible.

Time had gradually pa.s.sed to the fourth month. Even though the frigid North’s spring came late, it had finally came. Taizi residence’s courtyard was filled with a bright scenery. Flowers of all sorts of colors had bloomed. The teasing b.u.t.terflies were dancing in the air. And sometimes, there was the pleasant sound of a bird’s clear chirp from within the pure green grove.

However, although the scenery was beautiful, it was not as peaceful as Hua Zhu Yu had imagined it to be. In front of the pond, a group of servant girls surrounded two females. Hua Zhu Yu recognized them. The two females were Xiao Yin’s two concubines that she had seen when she first arrived. The red-robed female was Mei Na, while the other was Xue Ji. At this time, the two females were sitting by the pond discussing something. The two seemed to be like good friends.

Hua Zhu Yu frowned. It seemed like not only was Xiao Yin a good military general, he had also been able to make both his concubines friendly. She had heard that as long as there were a lot of concubines, they always fought with each other secretly. She had never thought that Xiao Yin’s concubines’ relationship would be this good.

She circled the flower beds and walked away the other direction. She wanted to leave these people further, however, a pair of eyes had seen her.

“Hey, isn’t this the siqin that tried to seduce his highness?” Mei Na’s voice floated over with a hint of disdain.

Hua Zhu Yu frowned slightly, however she still continued to move forward. She didn’t want to have a conflict with other people, however, they thought differently. It seemed that Mei Na had not guessed that Hua Zhu Yu would treat her in such a manner. She angrily arose and – with a group of servant girls – chased over.

“Stop! When you saw benfuren why did you not kneel? Don’t think that when you were the siqin that day, his highness was favoring you. Look at you. You are alone and you don’t even have a single servant girl with you. It seems like his highness actually doesn’t place any importance on you. An army concubine is always an army concubine. His highness was just playing with you.” Mei Na’s voice was now layered with hate.

Hua Zhu Yu finally stopped. She coldly smiled and suddenly turned around as she stood beneath a peach tree. It was currently the time period when the flowers and peaches filled the tree. Her smile seemed to turn even colder as she stood beneath the colorful and bright peach tree.

“What did you say?” Her tone carried sort of power that made people be in shock.

Mei Na stopped walking and put her hands on her waist, laughing: “After that event, his highness didn’t invite any more concubines to his room. Did you think that the things you do wouldn’t be realized? You borrowed the t.i.tle of siqin to seduce his highness every night. On that night, when you saw that his highness had brought me over, you purposefully didn’t warm the blankets. You wanted to be the only one favored by his highness. It’s a shame though. You are an army prost.i.tute. His highness never touches army prost.i.tutes. Even though he is currently entranced with you, he is only playing. Don’t get carried away.”

Hua Zhu Yu froze. She didn’t know that she had been rumored to be so unbearable. Siqin had changed into a lover?! What are these people thinking!

“Mei Na jiejie, don’t say it in this way. Afterwards, she will be a sister of ours as well. Don’t scare meimei.” Xue Ji elegantly came up front. She wore a green robe and her long hair was worn into a bun.

“What sister?! Why would his highness let an army prost.i.tute be our sister!” Mei Na laughed mockingly.

Hua Zhu Yu had never thought that other than herself being the princess from the South Kingdom sent for a marriage alliance, they had found out the fact that she was an army prost.i.tute. They had repeated used ‘army prost.i.tute’ to humiliate her.

When would this humiliation stop? This is all thanks to Xiao Yin!

She lightly frowned and coldly smiled: “Mei Na furen, since you already know that his highness never touches prost.i.tutes, then why would he do so for me? Or maybe his highness would continue to do so! Don’t you think?

Mei Na’s scornful expression froze on her face. Her eyes widened as she stared at the female in front of her. Under the soft light, her robe seemed to glow with a moist l.u.s.ter. Her long hair was let down and seemed to ripple lightly like water.
