Chapter 491: The Beauty Plan (Part 3)
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
If there was anything between Yuwen Long and Ping Nushi, no matter how beautiful Ping Nushi was, she wouldn’t pose a threat anymore… Once this thought arose in Zhou Nushi’s mind, it burned like wildfire, unable to be suppressed anymore. She watched Yuwen Long’s back, then glanced at Ping Nushi’s beautiful profile, her heart beating faster and faster, fearing that someone might notice, so she quickly lowered her eyes.
Suddenly, a woman dressed like a Wangfei from a foreign land, accompanied by two maids, walked over and asked, “Is this the restroom?”
Ping Nushi had just been released and didn’t know this was Linan Wangfei, the Wusun Princess, so she didn’t answer. But Zhou Nushi, who had been released earlier, immediately smiled and greeted the Wusun Princess respectfully, “Yes, Wangfei, it is.”
The Wusun Princess’s gaze fell on Ping Nushi, and she smiled and said something in the language of Wusun. Her maid beside her translated, “Our Wangfei says this lady is truly beautiful. She has never seen a woman more beautiful than her. Ying Wang is truly fortunate.”
Ping Nushi, feeling proud, bowed her head and returned the greeting. The Wusun Princess smiled and continued walking forward with her entourage. Seizing the opportunity while Ping Nushi hadn’t yet stood up, Zhou quickly plucked the white jade plum blossom hairpin from Ping Nushi’s head and hid it in her sleeve.
Still basking in the praise from the Wusun Princess, Ping Nushi couldn’t help but taunt Zhou Nushi with malice, “I remember the Imperial Consort used to summon you to the palace often. How come this time, after meeting, the Imperial Consort didn’t talk to you alone?”
“What do you know! The situation is so complicated, where would the Imperial Consort find the time?” Zhou Nushi sneered, feeling contemptuous. She sincerely felt that it was a waste for Ping Nushi, with her figure and looks, to be on someone as brainless as Ping Nushi. If those attributes were on her… sigh… Forget it, there’s no point thinking about it, it’s just wishful thinking.
“I won’t talk to you. What’s the use of being smart? His Highness still doesn’t care about you!” Ping Nushi snorted and continued to lean against the pillar coquettishly. “Why hasn’t the Wangfei come out yet? Could it be she’s catching up with that Wangfei of some county by the toilet?”
Ignoring her, Zhou Nushi tilted her head in thought. How could she smoothly deliver Ping Nushi into Yuwen Long’s arms? It wasn’t easy to accomplish such a big task in such a short time.
“It’s chilly here. There’s a shelter over there. I remember there’s usually a servant burning a small stove and heating some hot water. Do you want to go sit there? You can keep an eye out and come over when the Wangfei comes out. It won’t delay anything.” Zhou Nushi made up her mind and suggested to Ping Nushi with a determined look.
“Are you really being so kind?” Ping Nushi looked at Zhou suspiciously.
Zhou Nushi said, “Whether you go or not is up to you. We might have to stand here for a while longer. This banquet won’t end until the small hours. If you haven’t stayed in the palace before, do you really think the restroom is just a bare toilet? Let me tell you, there are chairs and hot water outside for the convenience of important people. The Wangfei may be talking to Linan Wangfei and won’t come out for a while. If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself. I’ll go ahead.”
After Zhou Nushi finished speaking, she indeed walked ahead. Ping Nushi stood still for a while, feeling extremely nervous being alone in this eerie palace. She decided to go and investigate before making a decision. When she arrived at the restroom area, she saw the two maids brought by the Wangfei waiting outside. She smiled and greeted Donghui, “I woke up early and didn’t eat anything. I’m feeling faint from hunger. I’ll go sit up ahead for a while. If the Wangfei comes out, please call me.”
Donghui had already received instructions from Mingzhu, so she readily agreed.
Only then did Ping Nushi go to look for Zhou Nushi, as per her previous suggestion, but she couldn’t find her. Instead, she saw that lecherous prince standing there, smiling at her. Ping Nushi’s heart pounded with fear, and she turned to leave.
Yuwen Long had already found out who she was and knew she was one of the Nushis from the Yuwen Mansion. Although she wasn’t favored usually, Mingzhu brought her out this time as a shield. Unable to resist, he stepped forward to block Ping Nushi’s path, smiling and asking, “Which palace are you from? Why do you look so unfamiliar?”
Here it comes, Ping Nushi’s heart thumped loudly, her face turning red as she moved to walk around him. Unexpectedly, her shoe was accidentally kicked off by Yuwen Long, so she had to bend down to pick it up.
As she bent down, Yuwen Long poked her buttocks from behind, startling her to jump up, clutching her buttocks in shock, her face pale, “What are you trying to do, Wangye? I’m from Ying Wang’s Mansion! If our Highness and the Wangfei find out, they won’t spare you!”
Yuwen Long, half-drunk, was captivated by Ping Nushi’s face, even more beautiful than Mingzhu’s. Just thinking about how seductive yet innocent she had looked earlier made his bones turn to jelly. But then, considering she was from the Yuwen Mansion, his heart felt even more aggrieved and unjust. Why did Yuwen Chu have everything? Money, the most powerful and cunning father-in-law, a young, beautiful, obedient, capable wife, and even mistresses who were as stunning as this one. It was simply unfair!
Last time, all that fuss couldn’t even kill Yuwen Chu; he just got sick for a while and that was it. This time, he’s determined to give Yuwen Chu a green hat to wear, just thinking about it feels extremely satisfying. Yuwen Long looked at Ping Nushi, who was both coquettish and shy, excited and afraid, finding it very amusing. Looking around and seeing no one, he boldly pinched Ping Nushi’s chest and threatened in a low voice, “If you dare to make a sound, I’ll say you tried to seduce me. Let’s see what happens to you then!”
Ping Nushi cursed Zhou Fuyan silently in her heart, while smiling sweetly, she coquettishly pinched Yuwen Long’s face and said with a fragrant smile, “Your Highness, you seem so impatient… There’s no need. On such a cold day, with so many people around, it’s easy to be seen. We can’t do anything, and we’ll end up hanging in mid-air, unable to go up or down, feeling uncomfortable.”
Yuwen Long had never heard such arousing and imaginative words from the women of the palace and the mansion before. His mind buzzed for a moment, and he had to shake his head vigorously before saying, “Who’s feeling uncomfortable?”
Ping Nushi looked around and whispered, “Of course, both of us are feeling uncomfortable.”
Yuwen Long pinched her again and said, “Little thing, did my sixth brother not serve you well, making you so thirsty? You can’t even take a step when you see a man.”
Ping Nushi felt nauseated but put on a very resentful look on her face, “Who said no? Sigh, let’s not talk about it. It’s like being a widow…”
