Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(98) The Conversation Between Hong Yi & Cheng Yi that Conceal Profound Mysteries

Cheng Yi unhurriedly swaggered over. When she saw Chu Qing-Yan and Hong Yi standing together, a trace of jealousy flashed through the depth of her eyes. Afterwards, with a smile on her face, she curtsied to Chu Qing-Yan. "Wishing the Little Consort be safe and sound always."

Chu Qing-Yan somehow felt that this person's voice made all the hair on a person stand on end. Her lips cracked a little in a grin, which could be considered a response. She always thought Cheng Yi was peculiar, and today she still couldn't shake off this feeling.

Hong Yi smiled and said. "I called you here because of a matter, aren't you in charge of His Highness's daily clothes? Little Consort wants to go out and take a stroll, female clothes may not be very convenient so she wanted to look for sets of male clothes. I remember His Highness had several sets of clothes when he was young that he never wore, so I wanted you to take them out for the Little Consort to use."

"So it turned out to be this matter ah, that servant didn't say it very clearly. Even I couldn't make head or tails of it, we indeed do have them" Cheng Yi finished telling Hong Yi this then she turned to Chu Qing-Yan and smilingly said. "Little Consort, it's all that servant's fault for not doing things well, this servant will now go and help you look for it."

"I'll be troubling Sister Cheng Yi then." Chu Qing-Yan replied cutely.

Cheng Yi walked towards the cabinet and the moment she turned, the smile on her face became a malicious expression. Her heart was unwilling and unreconciled as she went to retrieve the clothes.

When Cheng Yi retrieved the clothes, Chu Qing-Yan thanked her and returned to her own room with Xi Ning.

Watching Chu Qing-Yan leave, Cheng Yi took off her fake smile and said towards the person by her side. "Don't you think, her foothold in the prince's manor is getting more and more firm?"

Hong Yi smiled slightly. "She is the future mistress, gaining a foothold is very normal."

Cheng Yi snorted coldly. "But haven't you found that His Highness has been treating her much more nicely? You say, what virtues and abilities does she have to be able to get His Highness to treat her so specially?"

Hong Yi glanced at her with suspicion in her eyes. "Maybe the Little Consort has her own ability to make His Highness give her special treatment, why are you anxious about this matter?"

Being asked like this by Hong Yi, Cheng Yi seemed to choke. "Only you can swallow this breath. I won't allow this kind of petty and low status girl to climb to the manor's highest position."

Hong Yi frowned. "Cheng Yi, you mustn't say something like this, if these words were to reach His Highness's ear, I'm afraid you'd....."

Hong Yi didn't finish her sentence but both people knew what the end result would be. However, Cheng Yi still smiled insincerely. "Older sister Hong Yi, I will only say these words to you. You won't disregard our sisterly camaraderie to tell on me to His Highness, right?!"

Hong Yi sighed slightly. "Cheng Yi, you've never been able to control your mouth since you were young. I naturally won't spread this outside, but you also shouldn't casually say this everywhere. Otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to protect you."

Cheng Yi chuckled and said, carrying a faint, self-mocking tone. "Older Sister Hong Yi, do you think that after Chu Qing-Yan is seated on that position firmly, we would still have a foothold?"

Hong Yi frowned slightly, Cheng Yi didn't wait for her to reply before she continued to say. "You still haven't seen through things from Zi Yi's matter? This Chu Qing-Yan, although she is still young, her scheming abilities are not shallow. If it wasn't for her being undisciplined, would Zi Yi still have been taken back for retraining after less than three days? And you also lost your face in front of His Highness because of that matter. I think this is only the beginning. Once she has enough authority, the first people that would be removed will be us seven Senior servant girls! Older Sister Hong Yi, you should also make plans earlier, to avoid falling into a bad ending at that time."
