"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 9

 An hour later, Ji Ling Xue had waited for Mo Xiang's return, on her return she also brought back two large basket of daily essentials, food, rice and grains, it seems like using the empress dowager to put a bit of pressure on Xiao Yi Chen, he wouldn't mistreat her.


Mo Xiang began to prattle on about the anger she felt from Ji Yu Qing as soon as she got back.


Mo Xiang felt aggrieved saying: "Princess, the imperial concubine is really too despicable, it's enough that she's dominated the prince, when this servant said princess should get some preferential treatment, she shamelessly said she wanted to manage the housekeeper, she was only hurt a little, acting pitifully, surprisingly the prince agreed to her, now all the servants in the residence are treating her like the matriarch of the Chen residence."


Mo Xiang tilted her head, looking at Ji Ling Xue checking the things inside the large wicker baskets, as for her position as princess being stolen away by her white lotus younger sister, she didn't seem to have any reaction at all.

 

"Princess!" Mo Xiang angrily gripped the cloth held in Ji Ling Xue's hand, looking at her impatiently, the more she looked the angrier she got.


Ji Ling Xue raised her head, smiling without a care in the world: "Don't worry, I will take back what is mine eventually, let that white lotus have some time of happiness, she has waited for this day for a long time, I guess she also wants Xiao Yi Chen to divorce me right?"


Mo Xiang nodded, princess really was different, she could guess the imperial concubine's thoughts straightaway. When she went to see Xiao Yi Chen, she had heard Ji Yu Qing talk badly about her princess, said she couldn't keep up her status, causing the princess status to diminish, she was exactly suggesting to the prince to divorce her soon.


Seeing Mo Xiang nod, Ji Ling Xue raised her lips, I really guessed correctly, "Then what did Xiao Yi Chen say?"


Mo Xiang thought about it and said: "Naturally prince was concerned about the empress dowager and princess's maternal family's power, and did not listen to the imperial concubine, telling her to recuperate, and not come here."


JI Ling Xue's mouth twitched, her maternal grandfather Xiu Shu Fang was a senior figure in the imperial court, a most senior minister, even though he no longer participated in court and had opened a publishing house, he was still as revered as before, the late emperor had once bestowed a golden walking stick for her grandfather, for him to assist the new emperor Xiao Yi Mo, and had the privilege of entering the palace.


Now the emperor had ascended the throne for three years, grandfather no longer entered the palace, but was always called "teacher" by the new emperor Xiao Yi Mo.

Although her current self had an opinion about Xiao Yi Chen's self-interest, she could only sigh and regret that when she was younger she greatly admired him, that's why she didn't stop grandfather from forcing him to take her as princess.


Ji Ling Xue shook her head, no longer thinking of the past, she picked up the silk in her hand, even though this silk's design was very good, it had sadly already gone mouldy and could not be used to make clothes.


Mo Xiang pouted saying: "These servants aren't honest, even given us such mouldy cloths, princess, you wait, I will deal with it now!"


Ji Ling Xue pulled on Mo Xiang's arm shaking her head, "Don't go, this silk is very good, it can be used to make small fragrance bags."


"Make small fragrance bags?" Mo Xiang was baffled, she couldn't understand why Ji Ling Xue would randomly want to make fragrance bags, she didn't like these things before, Ji Ling Xue liked to cook, if she wore a fragrance bag it would affect her sense of smell, thus her body gave off a oil and soot smell, always being ridiculed by Ji Yu Qing.


Ji Ling Xue smiled, "You make one and send it to Ji Yu Qing, say that its my apology, if she doesn't take it, send it to Xiao Yi Chen." After all she needed to add some extra things into the bag.


Since she was young she had been poisoned, in order to cure her Mo Xiang had sought doctors and masters, thanks to Ji Yu Qing luck, within the last five years, they had researched the art of poison, not only did they cure the poison in her, they could even make poison.


Mo Xiang raised her eyebrows, suddenly understanding the meaning in Ji Ling Xue's eyes, she smiled: "This servant understands, I will finish the fragrance bag tonight."


Ji Ling Xue nodded, turning around she took out a blue bottle from a small box inside the cupboard, placing it on the table.
