Bab 74: Unexpected (2)
Wei Lan was sitting in her dorm and thinking whether she rightly saw Miss Henan or she was just mistaken by the similarities of facial features?
But how was it possible that two different people match so much facial features?
She thought to see again that girl.
She stood up and went toward where she ran into her.
Henan got ready and walked toward the biggest and grand garden of the Fourth Court.
Breathtaking view was ahead of her.
The exquisite shapes of the small and big flower patches with groups of different types and colors of flowers were designed to lure the eyes of onlooers.
And most of all, there were small fountains too.
This increased the beauty of the whole garden.
There were many intervals in the garden for the sake of keeping its portions a fresh veiw wherever one lurk.
She was thirteenth concubine yet she was soon given the title of dotted concubine.
She was also here to enjoy her grand achievement.
There was commotion among other concubines.
There were many concubines who could be considered outdated now.
And it was possible that an incourt war must broke any time soon.
Only first three dotted concubines could be considered lucky who were able to win the favors of the Crown Prince.
Henan was walking and suddenly stopped to see the fountain among the colorful colony of flowers.
Her maid was walking five metre behind.
Suddenly someone collided with her because of her sudden stop amid the scenery.
"Ahh, can't you be little careful?" Henan barely hold herself from a sudden fall.
"You are the one who is careless, who else stop suddenly amid the walkway?" the concubine tried to berate the small girl who looked not mature enough.
Henan caught the woman and remembered the disgusted words this cheap outdate concubine spoke to her when they ran into each other a weak ago.
"Ohh, this is you again? Are you paired with the Yin Ya to trouble me again, don't you remember my advice?" she smirked at Henan.
"Who are you and who the hell is Yin Ya? don't try to bother me," Henan was reluctant to go straight with this outdated thing.
"I never know that you are not only shameless but also thick skin, you are clearly ignoring me which is disrespectful for me," she sneered.
It was like she wanted to tear apart the disrespectful young girl standing in front of her.
She looked around, there was a maid only in her veiw.
She glared the maid and she looked at Henan for the permission.
Henan nodded and she went away.
"I am seventh concubine of the Crown Prince and remained dotted for one whole year, do you even know how much is this accomplishment?" she glared.
"And I will remain dotted for next year too, no one can take my position," she pointed her finger at Henan.
Henan was ready to answer but someone else spoke.
"Haha, how ignorant, I have already snatched your place you outdated trash concubine," both looked at the lavishly dressed woman, Henan gulped the sliva, she was marely a sixteen years old girl yet these overly expressive women were trying to implicate her or simply they were overconscientious.
Whatever she did not want to indulge.
"You, Yin Ya, you badmouth about my physical illness to attend the Prince, yet I am hail and healthy, do you think I will spare you?" now the center of her hate was this woman Yin Ya.
Henan heaved a sigh.
"So, you think you can always please the Prince with your outdated charm, haha, how ignorant," she laughed out loud and in fact she wanted to express her happiness to everyone.
The one who was laughed at was boiling with hatred.
Henan was innocent to understand their hatred or whatever.
Trio was facing each other now.
"Who are you by the way?" Yin Ya was curious about the young girl and what was she doing here?
Henan wanted to speak but the outdated concubine spoke first.
"She is favored by the Crown Prince," Henan was speechless to hear this, what? Favoed? favored your head,"
"Wah, favored, why I never saw you before? who are you?" she was grinding her teeth at her now.
"I am not interested in rubish favorite things, and who am I is none of your concern," she glared back.
Meanwhile the outdated concubine held her hand and hid behind her.
"Yin Ya forget it, after all we are all concubines," she suddenly have some idea.
"Ohh, now I can see, you are really paired to defeat me," Yin Ya understood what the other concubine wanted her to understand.
Henan was hurt by the grip of the cunning concubine.
She jerked her hand to free herself while the tender concubine was unable to stand a light jerk and she fell back in the fountain.
The water splashed and concubine drowned not much but enough to get embarrassed from head to toe.
How dare you meany girl, she was shouting endlessly yet Henan walked away from them with long strides, she hate to stand even near to them.
"Haha, that girl showed you, your place, I am also going, you just destroyed my day," Yin Ya also walked away fluttering her floral changpao.
The concubine slapped on the water with hatred which caused more water to splash over her.
She was happy inside, she was able to snatch sneakily the bracelet from the wrist which the young concubine was wearing, she smiled a light yet evil laugh.
She had some great idea to finish both hurdles with one strike and of course revenge at the same time.
She went back in her room to prepare for few things.
Henan reached her room with lot of anger on her face.
If she was allowed, she would have pouted but she have things to attend.
Untill now she have clear understandings of each and every part of the Fourth Court.
And the most fortunate thing was the adjacent servants and slave dorms, though they were not literally adjacent.
She can venture out at night if she took extra care during her venture and it was also feasible because the moon was in early dates which might not expose her presence through shrubs.
