71. The Ice-cold Face?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Now the room was filled with an ambiguous aura. Helian Chacha’s cheeks were blushing immediately, shining in a pink beam.

“Wait for me to pick you up!”

Ye Shengxuan’s Adam’s apple moved slightly without his notice. Ever since he had realized his true feeling for Helian Chacha, he found out that it was getting harder and harder for him to control himself.

“Why would I wait for you? I’ll have my own business to deal with once I go back. Just mind your own…”

Ye Shengxuan had been staring at the tiny mouth of Helian Chacha for long, and seeing that she was just about to say something he didn’t like, he kissed her straightforwardly.

Helian Chacha still didn’t realize what had happened even after she was already sitting in the carriage.

How come the lips of that ice-cold face were so sweet? And for some reason, she didn’t even feel ashamed of being kissed by force. On the contrary, she was a little bit happy about that.

“Princess?”

Since Helian Chacha didn’t talk to him and giggled like a fool, Minister Feng felt a bit nervous as he was afraid that this Helian Chacha he had just found could possibly be retarded.

“Huh? What?”

The old man’s voice pulled Helian Chacha back to reality, and she finally looked at the old man with her round eyes.

“What?”

The old man blushed a bit and went back to his seat as the memories that had been locked up for years now came back to him.

“You are just like your mother, exactly the same! I wonder how His Majesty would feel when he sees you.”

That was a long sigh. Back then the couple who had fallen deeply in love with each other had indeed been admired by people in Xuanyuan Kingdom.

And had it not been that accident, Helian Chacha would definitely have been the most favored daughter in Xuanyuan Kingdom.

“Huh?”

Something was hidden. That was the first thought coming to Helian Chacha’s mind, and it was also her favorite thing to listen to stories like that.

The old man wanted to ignore her, but since Helian Chacha had been looking at him all the time, he finally gave up.

“You really don’t remember anything?”

The old man looked really serious as after spending the half day with her, he found out that even a kid knew more about Xuanyuan Kingdom than Helian Chacha.

“Oh, man. Didn’t I tell you already? Ever since I came to the place of that ice-cold face, I have been poisoned and then pushed into the water, so I don’t remember anything at all.”

Putting on her puppy eyes immediately, she didn’t know how people would lose their memories, but she saw that a lot on TV, so it must be right.

Worrying that maybe her face wasn’t sad enough, she pinched her butt using her hand hidden behind herself.

Her big round eyes turned red immediately.

“No, no. Your Highness, that’s not what I mean. I…”

The old man panicked all of a sudden. It wasn’t easy to stand up inside the carriage, but he didn’t know what else he could do to comfort Helian Chacha.

“Then please tell me everything you know about Xuanyuan Kingdom and my old man.”

Since Helian Chacha turned sad suddenly, the old man could only say yes.

“I will definitely tell you everything I know. But…your old man? It would be so nice if you could explain that to me, Your Highness.”

After searching all over his brain, the old man was pretty sure that the word “parents” was already out of his cognitive realm.

Helian Chacha’s face was frozen as she tried so hard to not laugh out loud.

“I mean my my Father, and my Mother. I once heard a kid calling his father in that way.”

If it was Ye Shengxuan, Helian Chacha would never explain to him even if she said a modern word. And in the case of that man’s personality, even if she explained it to him, he probably wouldn’t be patient enough to listen.

But it was totally different to the man in front of her, because she would never let him doubt about her identity.

“Yes! But Princess, who is this ice-cold face man? Since he poisoned you, we will never let him go for sure!”

The old man looked a bit fierce all of a sudden as he really felt sorry for what Helian Chacha had gone through.

Helian Chacha’s face was frozen once again, so she pinched her thigh this time, trying to stay cool.

“The ice-cold man didn’t poison me. It was someone who’s connected to him. He saved me actually! I’ll take care of these things myself. And when I go back to Xuanyuan, Father will protect me, so I guess I will never be bullied again!”

Helian Chacha couldn’t imagine how shocked this man would be when he knew the nickname she gave to Ye Shengxuan, as the monarch system was deeply rooted in his mind already.

Seeing that Helian Chacha’s eyes turned red again, the old man thought maybe he made her feel sad again, so he didn’t ask her more questions.

Leaning back on the cushions, the minister got misty eyes as if he was falling into his immense memory.

“Your name was Xuanyuan Linglong and you are the eldest daughter of the late empress of Xuanyuan Kingdom. You are also the first daughter of His Majesty.”

Helian Chacha was stunned as she felt that she could feel the body was echoing to what the old man had just said.

The late empress? So it meant…

At the Red Cherry Land in the river town, Meiniang was searching for Helian Chacha after being questioned by the audience on stage.

“Meiniang, we have already showed them what Qingyu taught us, and even if there are new tricks, it will be just like what Qingyu said, they enjoyed it today and they won’t come back in the future.”

After a few days of getting along together, the four girls and Helian Chacha had already become friends.

Although the four of them were worried about where Helian Chacha was going, their priority was to cover her from Meiniang.

“Exactly. Meiniang, there were 8 of us on the stage tonight, and if you can put on the names of the eight now, tonight we will earn…”

After receiving a signal from Qi, Hua looked at Meiniang shyly and said so.

Thinking with her eyes rolling up, Meiniang understood that the four girls had no idea of where Helian Chacha was going, so she sneered, “Hum! I can put out your names out there today, but you need to give me all the money you earn tonight!”

Meiniang smiled proudly.

For all the girls in Red Cherry Land, the rule was that they needed to share half of the money they got from their guests with Meiniang. And if they failed to earn more than 2 pounds of silver for 3 months in a row, they would be punished to do the housework for Red Cherry Land.

Either teaching other girls like the four girls or working as a servant or, Meiniang would send them to the dealer for human trafficking if they didn’t know how to act. And in the end, there would be only two ways left for them, becoming a prostitute in the village, or marrying a poor and miserable old man.

Although the four of them felt humiliated, they didn’t have the gut to argue, so they could only say yes.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Cold air rushed directly into the room from the outside, and before the girls could realize what was going on, Meiniang was no longer in the room.

But Meiniang’s handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks was still on the floor, and it proved that Meiniang had been here before.

A short while later, the entire Red Cherry Land was filled with screams, while Meiniang was brought to the storage room downstairs.

“Well…Your Majesty?”

The local government director looked at Ye Shengxuan nervously as he was so confused. It was just a cute servantboy, why would Ye Shengxuan, the emperor of his kingdom, be so mad.

Meiniang kneeled down immediately when she heard what the director had just said. Your Majesty?

She knew this man must not be an ordinary person, but she never expected that he would be an emperor. Looking at Ye Shengxuan, Meiniang was 100% sure that he was not in a good mood at the moment right now.
