Chapter 25: NCFF [Part 1]
Ling Feng Palace, in front of Lan Qin Yu’s room.
She sneers as she looks at the couple of women who are staring at her like tigresses. The entourage is not small! The maids and eunuchs in front of her are twenty in number, almost like an entire class. Even the Noble Consort has come! Xiu Er once said that there are two Noble Consorts in the palace, one is Noble Consort Yu and the other is Noble Consort Shu. The one in front of her who is standing nobly while being surrounded by people is Noble Consort Yu.
From what Xiu Er whispered to her just now, the one on the left-most side is Yun Pin, next to her is Liang Fei, Noble Consort Yu, and next to her is Mei Pin and the useless and game-overed Prince’s Consort Liu. And amongst them is the Noble Consort Yu who is the mother of the eldest prince. She can be considered a fine beauty.
“Your Ladyship, it is her!” Consort Liu points at her as she speaks to the emperor’s concubines.
Mei Pin eyes Lan Qin Yu up and down before saying, “She didn’t look that great! Even her clothes is extremely common. Just one look and I can tell she isn’t a maid from respectably families.
Compared to their flashy appearance, her clothes did look a little plain. But, a respectably family’s……. maid? Granted, she wasn’t wrong, but still……
Humph!
Upon hearing her sneer, Xiu Er suppress a shiver, her palms sweaty. Since she served Lan Qin Yu, she knows what it means when she sneers. If she is unhappy, it is better for people to stay far away from her to avoid stepping on landmines.
Unfortunately, there are people who are not observant enough to know that.
“You are right! I don’t know why the second prince would even allow this kind of person to stay by his side!” Yun Pin agrees.
This kind of person? Stay by his side? What do they take her, Lan Qin Yu as? An escort? She herself isn’t capable enough to rise to be a Fei and yet she dares to find somebody else’s flaw?
“All aunties, I wonder why you all are visiting my place today?” Lan Qin Yu twirls her hair spontaneously, her emotions unreadable.
“A-Aunties?! You actually called us aunties!” the first one who spoke up was Liang Fei. Even Noble Consort Yu is frowning.
So she actually is capable of making an expression. Lan Qin Yu originally thought she was just there to watch the show to pass time.
After all, the thing women fear the most is ageing. Who wants to be called old by others? “The empress told me she plans to confer me the title ‘princess’, so calling you all auntie didn’t seem very appropriate!” She prop her chin and tilts her head, “Oh right, should I be calling you stepmothers then?”
This kid…. Her mouth is really competent. Noble Consort Yu gives Yun Pin a look while Lan Qin Yu watches their interaction quietly. Wants to play dirty? Dream on! Sure enough, while Mei Pin and Liang Fei are busy criticizing Lan Qin Yu, Yun Pin approach her and raise her left hand high-

Chapter 26: NCFF [Part 2]
“Ah————“ A screech shock birds that are perching on a tree nearby. One of the baby birds even fell from it’s nest, poor thing.
Do not doubt! And do not be mistaken! She, Lan Qin Yu is not capable of making that groundbreaking sound.
The hand that Yun Pin originally planned to raise at Lan Qin Yu was easily blocked as she slowly twists her fragile wrist.
“Aiya! I am so sorry! It was an accident! An accident! It was a reflex! This has always been a problem for me! Everytime something nasty comes close, I automatically shove them away!”
Yun Pin stroke her swollen wrist in pain. Some of the maids surrounding her rushes to help, but one of them accidentally bumps into her wound. “Be careful, you useless thing!” she yelled in pain. Her tear-welled eyes look at the other concubines, as though lamenting her grievance. Noble Consort Yu only spares her a glance before ignoring her.
Silly woman, the other party already finished making use of her, does she think she will care about her afterwards? Just endure it for a little moment. Lan Qin Yu didn’t went easy on her. Even though she does not know taekwondo or judo, her maternal uncle is a martial arts instructor so she is pretty good at basic self-defense.
“You are preposterous!” Mei Pin hollers, she actually dares to hit the emperor’s concubine? That brat is tired of living!
“Who is preposterous? She is only a Pin and yet she dares to hit the future princess! She is too bold!” Zi Er can’t bear to see so many concubines ganging up against Lan Qin Yu and speaks up. Since she is new to the palace, she did not understand the complex structure of the palace and could not sit back and watch unfair things.
Lan Qin Yu is happy with the consideration Zi Er has towards her. Xiu Er glance at Zi Er. She is just a maid after all. If she offends those concubines, she is done for.
Noble Consort Yu’s expression turns considerable colder. She unhappily glance at Liang Fei and Liang Fei replies by nodding her head at her. Qin Yu thought she was also trying to hit her, but she instead turns to Zi Er. Before she even gets to react, Zi Er already receives a slap in the face.
“Your Mistresses are speaking, it is not in your place for you lowly servants to speak up! That slap is to remind you to mind your own mouth!”
Seeing Zi Er enduring the pain on her left cheek, she lost it! Lowly servants! Lowly! She dares to call her people lowly servants! She is very angry!
Without waiting for Liang Fei to continue gloating, she picks up a teacup from the table and flings it to her left leg. Liang Fei accidentally kneels on one leg in pain in front of her. She expertly swings her hands. The person in the floor cannot dodge and can only endure.
“Pa—“ the sound is very crisp. They can only imagine how painful her face must be.
Seeing her own masterpiece, Lan Qin Yu pulls the corner of her lips, “I am so sorry. My hand slipped. Remember not to get so close to me from now on, who knows when my hand will decides to be disobedient again! Please don’t blame me!”
After she finish speaking, she throws a provoking look at Noble Consort Yu.
She can be considered as someone with a character. She has been standing there in silence from the very beginning and manage to control those women without saying a single word. How capable of her!
But Lan Qin Yu too is not submissive. They dare to wreak havoc in her own place?
So you want to play? Fine, this young lady will play with you.
