The Legend of the Ghost Concubine Chapter 3 part1

LGC Ch 3.1 – This Prince does not want to see such a woman anymore

Feng Yan Er did not understand: “Mother, isn’t this good, the emperor will definitely let the seventh Prince marry Feng Xi Er, then won’t I be able to become the Crown Prince’s consort smoothly?”  

     Chen Biyu’s face sank, and scolded Feng Yan Er angrily: “You stupid thing, do you know how many women crave for that Crown Prince’s consort position? If not for the fact that your mother, I, and the empress are on friendly terms, do you think that the Crown Prince will marry you? Besides, back then, that little bitch’s mother saved the empress dowager, that old useless thing’s life, and that old useless thing once made a promise, that only that bitch’s daughter is qualified to be the Crown Prince’s Consort. Although that old useless thing has retreated from the imperial harem to live in seclusion and pray to Buddha, she is still the biggest threat to us. As long as you have not entered the palace, we cannot relax.” 

     “But mother, Feng Xi Er loves the seventh prince so much, she will definitely not marry the Crown Prince. Moreover, father said just now that the emperor has the intention to match the Seventh Prince and Feng Xi Er together.”

    Chen Biyu sneered, “How does mother usually teach you? You cannot just look at things from the surface. The emperor’s most loved is ultimately, the seventh Prince. As long as the emperor does not die, the position of the Crown Prince could still be changed. If it is not that the Seventh Prince had no ambitions towards the court, would this crown prince position still be in the hands of Eighth Prince {current crown prince}?” 

    Chen Biyu rubbed her aching head and said, in distress, “The empress is scheming incessantly to get rid of the Seventh Prince to prevent future troubles and ensure the Crown Prince’s position. But no matter what, that Crown Prince seemed to have no ambitions, thoroughly angering the empress.”

    Feng Yan Er was shocked: “Mother, you mean… the black-clothed men who tried to assassinate the seventh prince were sent by the Empress?”

     Chen Biyu examined her daughter, and asked indifferently: “What’s the matter? You and the Seventh Prince have yet to break your ties? Mother can tell you that if you want to stand on that high position, you must put feelings of love down. “

    Feng Yan Er was in a daze, “No… mother, it’s just that the seventh prince treated daughter very well, Daughter…is a little… reluctant.” 

    Chen Biyu sneered again: “Don’t be silly Yan Er, if you let Seventh Prince know that it was Feng Xi Er who saved him, and not you, do you think he will still love you? What you have to do now is to try to attract the Crown Prince and firmly grasp him in your hands. As long as he is captivated by you, this position of the crown prince’s consort will only be yours.” 

    Feng Yan Er was inspired by her mother’s words. Yes, no matter how good the Seventh Prince was, he was just a prince. She needs to break all ties with the Seventh Prince in order to vie for her desired position and wealth.

    Feng Xi er was lying on the massage chair and watching the moonlight. She felt that time was moving too slowly. Since the doctor was invited and she was given good medicine, the wound recovered very fast. She thought that after a few more days, she would be fully recovered and she could then bring Xiao Tu Dou out to play. Thinking about this then got her feeling spirited. 

    There are pros and cons to living in the ancient times. The good thing is that the air is particularly fresh. Feng Xi Er can lie on the massage chair and sleep for the whole day in her backyard. Anyway, nobody is interested in her dilapidated backyard. The bad thing is the primitive life; there’s no electricity, no internet, and the empty feeling of not having anything to do is truly terrible.

     Feng Xi Er instructed Tu Dou to go to the medicinal shop to get some good herbs. When she was bored, she could develop some diarrhoea or itch powders or something of that sort, for emergency use.  In this ancient times, it is hard to gain a foothold without any martial arts. Feng Xi-Er self-acknowledged that she had wisdom similar to Wei Xiao Bao {China character}. Adding to the fact that she was a modern person, and having watched a lot of TV shows, she had confidence to deal with those old-fashioned ancestors. 

     After her wound was completed healed, Feng Xi Er dressed up like an old-fashioned flower, and brought her secret weapons (laxative, itching powder, slingshot) as she pulled Xiao Tu Dou to sneak out from behind. She went straight to the Seventh Prince’s residence. 

    She wanted to take the initiative, and before the emperor dog bestows her to the Seventh Prince, she must first let the Seventh Prince completely detest her. 

    The servant told Seventh Prince that Feng Xi er was here to visit. Seventh Prince was currently playing chess with Sixth Prince and Tenth Prince. Seventh Prince’s character is gentle, and he can get along well with many of his brothers, except for His Royal Highness, the crown prince, who does not like to show his face. Coupled with their mother’s generation of fighting for favour, Seventh Prince was alienated from the Crown Prince since young. And now, there is also the existence of a Feng Yan Er. The Seventh Prince felt unpleasant as he thought of Feng Yan Er’s words on the day of the Flower Viewing Festival. He and the Crown Prince did not have a good relationship beforehand, and now it has become the relationship of love rivals. 

     The Tenth Prince who was playing chess heard the servant’s report, and his eyes shone, revealing a very curious expression. He smiled naughtily and looked at the seventh Prince: “Ya ya, Seventh Brother, this Miss Feng is really faithful to you. The moment her injury is healed, she came to find you. Our Seventh brother’s charm is really unstoppable ah…” 

     Seventh Prince felt annoyed, and glared at the Tenth Prince. He, then reluctantly walked out.
