My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You - Chapter 87
“Who would you like to invite, Qiqi? Just tell me, I will make it happen for you.” the emperor laughed, he was quite curious to see what had she got up her sleeve.
Yue Qiqi felt so encouraged, she pretended to sweep across the hall and her eyes landed on Luo Qianqian who was glutting oneself with delicacies, “I’d like to invite the Fourth Young Lady from Prime Minister Mansion, Luo Qianqian.”
Luo Qianqian was surprised that Yue Qiqi would mention her name, she put down the chopsticks and wiped her mouth in a hurry. Murong Yun was just looking at her dotingly, like he hadn’t heard anything.
Yue Qiqi clenched her fists in frustration, ‘Get ready, Luo Qianqian, I will take you down.’
“Excuse me?” Luo Qianqian was a but confused, she wasn’t sure whether she had heard Yue Qiqi clearly.
Yue Qiqi said, “You heard me, Fourth Lady, I’ve heard so much about you in the capital city, in the teacups, on the streets, basically everywhere. Finally I meet you today, please give me the chance to invite you to finish the performance with me.”
“Emm, I’m happy to meet you too, I guess. I prefer watching a performance, if that’s okay.” Luo Qianqian put on a foxy smile.
Yue Qiqi did not see that coming, she was choked.
‘I don’t know what you are up to, but I do know you are up to no good for you are Luo Yuyan’s friend! No way would I want to perform with you.’ thought Luo Qianqian.
“Aren’t you Master Lingtian’s disciple?” Yue Qiqi said provokingly.
“Yes I am.” Luo Qianqian put on a serious when she heard Yue Qiqi mentioned her Master Shifu’s name.
‘Why do you drag my Master Shifu in this! Are you trying to slander his good name? I will kick your ass before you do that!’
Yue Qiqi smiled, “Great, I just want to make sure.” with that she made a bow to the emperor with hands folded in front, “Your Majesty, I have a even better idea, I want to have a competition with Master Lingtian’s disciple, this is a rare opportunity for any martial arts cultivator.” Yue Qiqi added for fear the emperor might turn her down, “This will only be a friendly competition, I just want to increase my knowledge and gain some experience.”
The emperor wasn’t sure whether was a good idea, he looked at Luo Qianqian and asked, “What do you say, Fourth Lady?”
Luo Qianqian pressed her lips, she was a bit hesitant, it baffled her why she could never have a break, there were Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer at home, and there was a Yue Qiqi dying to start trouble on their first encounter.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com
Murong Xue chimed in before Luo Qianqian opened her mouth, “Yue Qiqi! I’m also Master Lingtian’s disciple and I’m willing to condescend myself and compete with you.”
Yue Qiqi was choked, she dared not to offend Princess Eleventh.
“Your Highness the Princess Eleventh, please don’t take me the wrong way.” Yue Qiqi bowed to Murong Xue.
“I’m taking you just the way you want to be taken, bring it on,, show me what you got!” Murong Xue rose to her feet, “What have you taken me for? A fool? How long have you been learning martial arts? Since you were three, right? How long has my sister-in-law been learning martial arts? Half a month! Your design is obvious!”
People looked at each other and nodded, this wasn’t a fair competition.
“Your Highness the Princess Eleventh, I… I’m not…” Yue Qiqi floundered, she didn’t know what to say.
The emperor mediated, “Xue, Yue Qiqi is our guest.”
“Father~” Murong Xue stamped her foot in frustration.
“Xue, I was asking the Fourth Lady whether she wanted to have this competition, I didn’t say she had to.” the emperor continued to appease his favorite daughter.
Luo Qianqian knew she had to solve this once and for all, if she turned Yue Qiqi down this time, chances were Yue Qiqi would keep pestering her.
“Miss Yue, I’m willing to have a competition with you, I just need to make one thing clear, I have just learned martial arts from my Master Shifu for half a month, so I’m having this competition on behalf of myself not my Master Shifu, do you understand?”
“Sister-in-law!” Murong Xue exclaimed with concern, while Murong Yun looked rather poised and collected.
Luo Qianqian smiled at Murong Xue as a comfort, ‘I know what I’m doing, Xue, don’t worry.’
“Just be careful.” Murong Yun whispered at her ear.
A crooked smile flashed across Yue Qiqi’s face, she could taste the win.
Yue Qiqi looked at Luo Qianqian and said with dripping acid in her tone, “Fourth Lady, let’s make this game more fun, how about adding a bet?”
Luo Qianqian replied, “Oh? What bet?”
“Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I have one favor to ask.” Yue Qiqi kowtowed to the emperor.
Luo Qianqian found this quite amusing, she kind of knew what this was all about now.
“Go ahead, Qiqi.” said the emperor.
Yue Qiqi suddenly blushed, “Your Majesty, I have admired Prince Eighth since I was a little girl, please… please allow me to marry Prince Eighth! I will forever be grateful!”
Murong Yun’s face darkened and his eyes dimmed.
‘Young lady, Murong Yun is my fiance, you need to ask me instead of the emperor, and my answer is no.’ Luo Qianqian gave Yue Qiqi a cold smile.
The emperor didn’t see this coming, “Qiqi, you mean… you want to marry Yun?”
Yue Qiqi looked at the emperor in the eye and said loudly, “Yes, Your Majesty, since I was a little girl.”
Luo Qianqian chimed in, “I disagree.”
That was music to Murong Yun’s ear, ‘Is… is Qianqian being jealous? Should I be happy about this?’
Yue Qiqi glared at Luo Qianqian, “You are in no position to say yes or no, mind you you are not Prince Eighth’s princess yet.”
“Oh? Mind you ask Murong Yun first. I’m afraid he is with me on this one.” Luo Qianqian raised one eyebrow.
Yue Qiqi obviously had overestimated herself, “Prince Eighth, do you… do you…”
Murong Yun lifted a hand, signaling Yue Qiqi to stop, “I only have one princess, and her name is Luo Qianqian.”
