Capítulo 43: A year later

"You are early than expected"

"Thank you for your compliment"

"I expected more from my sisters... alas"

"It may be presumptuous of me, but shouldn't Princess be in my side?"

Right now Ming Shu was in the Princess study room playing go with Princess Jinghua.

"Hm? What an interesting strategy... what if I do this? And yes I'm by your side but is kind of depressing when I think my Imperial Sisters weren't able to deal with a ten-year-old doll. Wasn't the Imperial Family to be the most scheming? Why they tried such a dumb approach?"

After spending a few minutes, Princess Jinghua trapped the black pieces. Without having to stop to think, Ming Shu countered the Princess's attempt.

"Princess shouldn't talk about your family like that. Their method is rather effective in people at my age"

"Well, they are my family so I can talk as I please. And yes, they were unfortunate to meet you this abnormality, but their failure only means they didn't make proper research about you... Ming Shu, remember you're playing against my Imperial self"

On the board, you could see the black pieces were slowly cornering the white ones and gaining territory.

"This subject is aware, that is why she is playing her utmost in hopes, it can help Princess in her development"

"You are as cheeky and unpleasant as ever"

"I'm sorry for having offended the Princess. Is because I'm young and ignorant"

"Yeah, yeah. Now explain the game for me"

Ming Shu started to explain the strategy she used and the ways of countering it. The Princess listened with much concentration and would ask questions or discuss a few points with Ming Shu.

Their day proceeded like that for the rest of the day. They would do some activity like painting or playing an instrument, and if Ming Shu was superior to the Princess she would explain for her the ins and outs of what she just did.

A year passed with this type of routine. Ming Shu was now used to enter the Palace and have to deal with the spoiled Princess. Although she still disliked the Princess, she already found her more pleasant than in the beginning and could have conversations with her which were unrelated to the subjects.

In this year a lot of things happened. Ming Peizi proposed the implementation of a new system for policing the city. After the Emperor approved, the System was implemented and the number of crimes dropped and this made the Emperor heavily reward the Ming Family and promote Peizi to a first rank officer.

Her siblings also stood out. Zigui won a martial arts contest in his category and was admitted as her grandfather's pupil last month. Yunning also took part in a music contest after much insistence from their master and won the first place. Her fame in the noble circle grew a notch and the bad reputation that she had for me concubine born, started to slowly be replaced. As for Ming Peng, he found himself in the Imperial Academy. There he quickly made into the Top 3 honour students and had the trash reputation erased by his outstanding performance. He was now one of the most sought bachelors in the Capital.

As for Ming Shu herself, she didn't make into the spotlights like her siblings, but because she was the study partner of the most favoured Princess, she had quite a high status among the Young Misses.

But the year was not all made of good news. The Li Household intelligence discovered that Lady Ye was not just a mere buyer, but instead had a relationship with the Poison Sect for years. On their investigation, Ming Shu Grandfather's subordinates found out that many people that opposed Lady Ye had died from some poison and later the death was declared as having another cause. They also determined that her first contact with the Poison Sect was in her childhood, in which she went to a small city to recover from an illness.

Because they couldn't be clear of what position she held inside the Poison Sect, both of Ming Shu's parents decided that they couldn't easily move her or expose that they knew about her background, before making the necessary precautions. Lady Ye's days didn't change completely, only they would punish her for some mistake she made on her new duties or Ming Peizi would not on her like he used to.

Ming Shu stopped reminiscing about the past year when she saw that her destination was close.

Today, she was free from her duty as a study partner and all her siblings were occupied. She decided to slip away and go to her favourite place in her past life.

She urged the horse to go faster, and as the speed grew faster, Ming Shu could feel the early spring cold breeze against her face, as the intoxicating aroma from the peonies assaulted her nose. After dismounting of her horse, it thrilled Ming Shu to see that the place in front of her was exactly how she remembered.

A lake with crystal-like water surrounded by white peonies. In her other life, she found this place when looking for a type of white peony that was considered extremely rare. At that time, she caught the wind that Zhao Song was looking for this flower and decided that she would be the one to find for him. Wouldn't he memorize at least her name if she did that? Unknown to her was the fact that the peony was for him to give to his favourite person and fall into her graces.

Although the peony didn't serve its purpose, Ming Shu found this dream-like place that became her refuge when the situation became dire. With her many memories in this place roaming in her head, Ming Shu made her way through the sea of flowers.

Capítulo 44: Problems

A mile from the capital there were a few mountains which were believed to have an Immortal as an inhabitant. Every year a few people would venture the mountains and would find many paradisiac landscapes hard to find if you didn't know the way.

In one of these paradisiac landscapes, a girl was sitting in a rock in the middle of the translucent lake. With her hair down that would move every time the wind brushed, the girl was dressing a loose robe and had her bare feet touching the cold rock.

In mediation, the girl would appear to be the immortal or a fairy that many of the visitants of the mountains were looking for.

The girl with the fair complexion exhaling holiness was no one else but Ming Shu.

After arriving in her escape place, Ming Shu took her shoes off and unmade the outer robe from her clothes. She normally wasn't crazy enough to expose herself in a public place. But this was a special location. In addition to being the hardest place to find, Ming Shu had visited this place for five years and never encountered a soul that knew or came here.

Making her way through the path of stone, she arrived at the biggest stone in the middle of the lake. This was where she would come to meditate and organize her thoughts.

Although the year passed with no major setback, there were many unfinished issues that needed to be solved. The first one, without a doubt, was the exact relationship that Lady Ye has with the Poison Sect and to deal with her. It would be extremely troublesome to have dealt with a little snake to only have a bigger one and kill you.

After having observed the Second Madam Ming's behaviour through an entire year, Ming Shu was almost Sure that she was the first apprentice from her Master. She would try to confirm soon after making a 'fate encounter' happen between her and her Master.

Although she would meet her Master to confirm, it was only to be 100% sure, since from the beginning she already had doubts about Lady Ye, which were solved after seeing Lady Ye herself solving the poison that Lady Ling schemes to put on her tea.

She remembered how funny was both of their reactions. It surprised lady Ling to see that the poison that should destroy Lady Ye prized complexion for days didn't have any effects and stupidly took herself to test and ended up with a lot of little red bubbles in her face. Whilst Lady Ling was suffering from Karma, Lady Ye was enraged breaking many things in her bedroom. Unfortunately for her, Ming Peizi visited her at the same time. Just as she threw the copper plate in her hand, the door of the room opened and the plate whizzed pass through his ear. At the end of the day, both Ladies were punished.

The second issue was that she didn't know why Wang Fangyi turned away from her. She tried many times to talk with her best friend but Fangyi avoided her each time. Now her friend had connections with houses she wasn't in the future that she knew of. She was happy that her friend made new friends, but the Young Misses that Fangyi befriended are not the type of people that she knew her friend would like to associate. Plus in a political view, the approach of the three houses was problematic.

The Wang, Gu and Xiao families. The three controlled soldiers, food and money for the entire country. Their sudden approach was clearly the work from someone behind the scenes, and all the outcomes that Ming Shu could imagine would lead to major changes in the country. What bothered her more was the fact that whoever was behind made explicitly clear that the Wang Family shouldn't be close with other families besides those two, as even her Grandmother had her sworn sister estranging herself.

The most probable and least favourable option was that one of the Princes discovered Si Yifeng existence and was trying to replace his Father by gathering the three most important ministries under him. What she didn't understand was why would the Wang Family who was always very loyal to the Emperor was allying to the rebel party...

Ming Shu sighed. She didn't want the Wang Family having a bad end, but as things stand now, they would clearly be eliminated by the Emperor who was surely aware of the unusual movements.

No, she couldn't let it happen! In her past life, in many instances, if not for them she would be discarded much early by Zhao Song than she was. She owed them too much and she would surely pay in full this time around.
