"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 81

 Maybe because he was curious, Xiao Yi Chen ate very quickly, putting down his chopsticks, he sat upright and still waiting for the empress dowager to answer him.


The empress dowager's actions were very slow and graceful, as if she was in no rush.


Xiao Yi Mo laughed, tilting his head he looked at Xiao Yi Chen asking: "What has imperial brother been busy with recently? This days we have received reports from the military, Daiyan has frequently made movements, I've decided to let Ding Si Fang to leave for the border station in the northwest, what does imperial brother think of this?"


Thinking of Ding Si Fang, Xiao Yi Chen's heart flared in anger, that was his military report, how could the opportunity be stolen by Ding Si Fang, and having swept through the servants at the residence, he still couldn't find who was the spy sent by Ding Si Fang, Xiao Yi Mo mentioning this, was for him to give up some of his military control.


Xiao Yi Chen laughed: "Recently I've not been very well, general Ding is a brave and talented person, it's very good to get him to defend the northwest border station, I have thirty thousand men in the northwest for general Ding to use." As he spoke he took out a jade tablet from his sleeve and placed it onto the table, tranquil in appearance, without showing any unhappiness over his power being taken.


Xiao Yi Mo took the jade tablet with great satisfaction, from time to time his gaze moving to the entrance, it was at that moment elderly maid Mo came in a hurried jog.


The empress dowager asked: "Elderly maid Mo, what happened?"


Elderly maid Mo gave her greetings, walking to the empress dowager's side she whispered into her ear, "Empress dowager, princess Chen has disappeared."


The empress dowager's expression changed, turning to Xiao Yi Chen she said: "Prince Chen, your princess came to pay her respects today, she wanted to make a few new dishes for me to try, now the dishes have been delivered, but the person has disappeared."


Xiao Yi Chen frowned, Ji Ling Xue especially came into the palace to cook for the empress dowager? Why didn't things seem as simple as it sounds?


He turned to look at Xiao Yi Mo with suspicion, Xiao Yi Mo nodded to confirm the empress dowager's words, he had promised Ji Ling Xue to not divulge the reason why she came into the palace.


Xiao Yi Chen stood up cupping his hands: "This son will take his leave." Having spoken he quickly left.


At this moment Ji Ling Xue was moving secretively, she was paying attention to her surroundings as she moved, keeping a steady distance away from the person in front, avoiding the other person from noticing she was following them.


The person was moving quickly, that somewhat familiar figure stopped in front of a palace hall, they turned to look behind them, JI Ling Xue nimbly moved away, hiding behind a bush.


Through the cracks in the leaves and branches, Ji Ling Xue observed the other person, she really hadn't been mistaken, that person really was Ding Si Fang, only why was he an official in the inner palace, unless he had an acquaintance inside the palace?


Ding Si Fang frowned at the emptiness behind him, why did he feel like he was being observed? Shaking his head, Ding Si Fang pushed open the remote palace hall's doors and entered.


Ji Ling Xue stood in front of the palace hall, lifting her head to read the words on the door plaque, "Qinglao park", from the name it seemed to be where an imperial concubine lived


Ji Ling Xue did not take the risk by entering, she chose to hide in a tall shrub nearby, to wait for that somewhat familiar figure to come out, a quarter of an hour later, Ji Ling Xue scratched her head, picking the leaves from her head, yawning in boredom, rubbing her rather numb legs, the next moment, her tummy rumbled.


Ji Ling Xue sighed, "What am I doing? Even if that person is someone from the palace, at most he's detrimental to Xiao Yi Chen, I am just a simple and harmless little princess, why should I care about this?"


As she was criticising herself, a figure flashed in front of her, Ji Ling Xue squinted her eyes, the next moment an ice-cold hand pulled her out from the shrub under her shoulders like a little chick.


She had been discovered what could she do? Ji Ling Xue once again utilised her best skills of pretending to be stupid, looking at Ding Si Fang who had a strange expression on his face, she smiled: "What are you doing, can you not see I'm incubating?" As she spoke she pointed at the cobblestone on the ground, "See, I'm about to hatch a chick..."


Ding Si Fan's lips twitched, looking Ji Ling Xue who had a sluggish gaze in her eyes, so it was a fool that had been following him!?
