"Your majesty! " Lin Yanrou payed his respect to the old man in a phoenix golden embroidery hanfu with a gold crown on his head to make him scream loyalty.
"Mmm " The king Li Yinzhi's father Li Tang hummed waving his hand for Lin Yanrou to stand up .
"Your Majesty you asked for me. "Lin Yanrou started.
"...mmm... I did, about the Qing family..... " Li Tang paused purposefully glancing at Lin Yanrou.
'Tsk'he just as I expected Lin Yanrou tsked inwardly before replying " I know what you imply your majesty, the Qing family was attacked by assassins the night before yesterday and I failed to save any of the family members..... and of how I got to know of this as I have been at the south camp it is that I had been planning on marrying their daughter Qinghuan... as I had sent spies to get me feedback.... one thing led to another. But I assure you that my fiancee to be is fine and we will get WHO was behind this.. your majesty "
Lin Yanrou stressed the 'who's part with a hidden meaning.
Honestly speaking if it wasn't for the empress who happens to be a third aunt in the Lin Family this stupid king would have been dethroned earlier.... he was like an open book.
"Oh my my my..... what a tragedy. Good thing one of the Qings still exists otherwise how could we get the blood for loyal meds. " Li Tong feigned innocence and ignorance.
"About that you're majesty.... am sorry to say but Qinghuan's blood is poisonous and.... "
"Outrageous, it is understandable the Qing family was slaughtered but how come I never heard of that her blood is poisonous. " Li Tang cut Lin Yanrou short at the news of the only survivor being with poisonous blood... of course it was fake but still this still worked for him.... the Empress will die sooner or later all he had to do was to eliminate the remaining family of Qing but since Lin Yanrou claimed to take a liking at Qinghuan it would be bothersome to eliminate her now. And he wasn't so certain that the blood couldn't be purified to treat the Empress.
" haaa" Sighed The king. "I hope you look into this matter but be careful of what you learn on later. "he warned.
"Yes your majesty. " agreed Lin Yanrou before leaving.

The maid appointed to Qinghuan was speechless, how could this lady.....
" ....see a simple nice bun will do those hair accessories are too heavy you know ." announced Qinghuan as he looked at her reflection. "The dress let's go with this one it's quite light and comfortable. "
"But.... my lady there is going to be other ladies and the general asked you looked your best on the tea... " The maid ,Xingqi tried to explain but Qinghuan cut her short.
"Bring me my phone let me call him. "
"!!?? what do you mean? "Xingqi asked innocently that's when it snapped to Qinghuan that she didn't have a phone.
'Now what do I do, if I really have to go to the Tea Party dressed up then.... without tell him that I want to wear like this he might as well kill me.... what do I do... what do I do... Argh getting into good terms with someone is hard. ' Qinghuan pondered on what to do she really didn't like the heavy accessories.... even in the modern world she wore them only if they were fake and made of plastic. But this world the jewelry were pure gold and silver approximately five kilograms on the head.
"fine help me do my hair please. "Qinghuan requested seeing she had no other alternatives.
" Yes my lady."
'I really hope one day I wake up and all this was just a bad dream ' Qinghuan sighed.
////
"Now I understand why the late people are called ancients ,I almost puked in the carriage. " Groaned Qinghuan.
Thanks to Xingqi she managed to appear like a noble she was despite the less accessories.
She was the perfect definition of a natural beauty .She descended the small steps of the carriage with the help of Xingqi.
Her sharp eyes didn't miss the other carriages that parked on the sides of the one that brought her.
She silently followed the group of young ladies in their hanfu dresses to the main hall, Xingqi led her to the table but Qinghuan had other things at mind she faked a stomach ache and one thing led to another till they reached the washroom.
'Am sorry Xingqi. " thought Qinghuan before knocking Xingqi out.
Moments later she dragged the body of Xingqi into a certain room thankfully it was a bedroom so she made Xingqi lie behind the bed's head rest,this way even if anyone came in asking as Xingqi didn't move she won't be discovered.
Changed into Xingqi's maid outfit she stepped out of the room making sure no one saw her she proceeded.
Well if she was a normal or proper lady she would have complied and be in company of the other ladies but she.... well she wasn't normal and secondly clearly she wasn't mentioned in any events of the Tea Party it was the female lead's time to shine.
If she remembered correctly the Li Yinzhi or Fu Chou... appeared and saved the dasmel in distress.
(NOTE : THE ORIGINAL PLOT SAID THAT LI YINZHI AND FU CHOU WERE THE SAME PERSON BUT.....)
As she smelled around the garden she almost bumped into the maids that were going to the other direction.
".....lets hurry up the crown prince will be here soon I want to see how he looks like now the last time he was so dazzling I barely managed to sleep at night... " on of the girls squeaked as she spoke about the crown prince Li Yinzhi asked they walked into the distance their voices fading away.
"Tsk! " tsked Qinghuan... 'he is just average he is not even a pinky finger next to the villain .i wonder why slot of these things seem twisted firstly shouldn't the villain be inferior to the lead or.... maybe it was just her imagination since she was kinda familiar with some one who looked and shared the same name with the villain Lin Yanrou. ' thought Qinghuan when it dawned to her that she had to find the female lead.
Yeah just like other cranky novel the maid was simply a maid abducted from a fallen kingdom and this is when things started to change.
During the party the female lead accidentally poured the wine on the princes robes when she was serving him and as to show her sincere apologies she had to offer to help him change. With that in mind Qinghuan stormed off.....

Meanwhile Lin Yanrou returned to the mansion he knew about the Tea Party and didn't question about Qinghuan's absence. He ambled to his study before his trusted man came Suyian.
"General are you really going to marry her. " Suyian asked she liked this man but was not willing to risk their relationship and suggested her thoughts she could only take it in as he treated her like a sister.
Whereas for Lin Yanrou didn't expect the king to call him so soon he expected the call but just not this early ,so simply this bothered him as he had to put in more extra effort to make more rumors spread about him and Qinghuan being intimate otherwise that old man will lead to ....
