Qian Mu Ting looks pleasantly surprised for there 'accident' encounter. Lory feel helpless the little princess doesn't heed her words but she can't blame Qian Mu Ting either their's no reason for her to trust Lory. At this time Lory 'Princess mode' suddenly switches 'On'.

"Oh, my second Princess what a pleasant surprise" Lory smile courteously. ​​

"Nice to meet you again Miss Luo" Qian Mu Ting answer with a gentle smile.

Ming Yue Yin could see the invisible spark between the two women.

"Lord Long Ming I don't know you are friend with General Yuan?" Qian Mu Ting surprised the unfriendly Yuan Shao and the indifferent Zhao Li Xin take a stroll together, since when they become friends? She must report this to the Empress.

"We're not friends," said Yuan Shao and Zhao Li Xin at the same time.

"Eh?" Qian Mu Ting stunned again. if they are not a friend so what are they doing together at the festival? She glances at the beautiful woman beside Yuan Shao, the woman is quite and composed and she exudes noble aura around her make Qian Mu Ting intimidate by her presence, she wonders who is that woman?

"This young miss is?" she glances at Ming Yue Yin.

Ming Yue Yin notice Qian Mu Ting's dislike towards Lory and that automatically puts Qian Mu Ting's name on her 'enemy list'. "A friend" she answered briefly without regards.

Qian Mu Tin maids become upset "You, don't you have manner, my princess kindly asking you how dare you to be so rude!" she points her finger at Ming Yue Yin.

Ming Yue Yin used to act stupid and childish around Lory and at Zhao Li Xin Manor but with other people, she is the overbearing monarch, calculated, cunning and firm if not how could she handle the official at the royal court, Ming Yue Yin glare become sharp as a blade "It seems you are the one who doesn't know about manners, how dare a lowly maid dares to interfere when her mistress talking, is this how you teach you're maid second princess" she scoffed at Qian Mu Ting.

Ming Yue Yin expression make her feel shuddered, she doesn't know why she feel small in front of her but her stupid maid still not realizes what kinda hole she digging "You dare to reprimand my princess, who are you dare to speak you're words in front of The Emperor daughter do you want to be punished!" she shouted arrogantly.

She thought because she served Qian Mu ting no one would dare lay there hand on her and she's right for years no one dares to touch her no matter how bad her behavior was, Qian Mu Ting, is the Empress favorite daughter no one dare to mess with her until they meet Ming Yue Yin.

Yuan Shao's expression turns dark he hated the royal family before and know he just hates them even more "You dare to threaten other people on the open street, how great is you're servant second princess, you just open my eyes" he mocked Qian Mu Ting.

Qian Mu Ting's face turns red from embarrassment she just wants to find a chance to meet Zhao Li Xin, how could suddenly she become a bully. The street is filled with a lot of people because today festival, all of them already stop and watch the commotion, they murmured to each other how impolite Qian Mu ting maid is.

"You, how dare you to speak without my permission!" she chides her stupid maid "Apologies to them right now!" she reprimands her maid harshly.

The maids face turn pale, even if she's a maid asking forgiveness in front of other people is humiliating "Miss I…." she stuttered. Qian Mu Ting gives her deathly glare, she doesn't want her imaged ruin in front of the public not to mention Zhao Li Xin is here too. The stupid maid press her lips tightly she know she had no choice.

"Wait!" Ming Yue Yin suddenly raised her hand, the maid relief she though Ming Yue Yin must not dare to provoke her princess, asking her to apologize can be consider humiliated Qian Mu Ting too, he thought Ming Yue yin must be scared infuriated the royal family.

"Apology is not enough for me" Ming Yue Yin smirk "Su Jing, come and slap that maid face twenty times for talking too much!" she raised her voice slightly than suddenly a woman with dark red uniform appear, she make a firm pace towards the stunned maid than she grabs her collar than the sound of a hand slapping loudly heard.

Lory never seen someone got slapped consecutively, Lory watched it with grimace she feel her owns cheeks become numbs, Zhao Li Xin knew she pitty the stupid maid he wrapped his hand around her shoulder than she pinch her skin to look at him "If the servant make mistake she would implicate her master, even though she doesn't know that 'brat' identity but as a servant, she can't be presumptuous and interfere his master business, you never seen Mong Ki and Mong Yi speak for me isn't it"

"No" Lory shakes her head.

Zhao Li Xin amused when Lory listen to him obediently he must urge the temptation to kiss her "That because they knew that I have my owned reason and plan that they might not know so they can't be presumptuous and ruin my plan just like that stupid maid, because of her reckless behavior she ruins her master reputation and humiliated her, this twenty slap is very light punishment, so you don't have to pity her"

"Okay, I just feel my cheeks numb just watching her" Lory giggles softly.

Zhao Li Xin frown he cupped both of her cheeks "I will never let anyone touch you're cheeks, is mine alone" he said with overbearing expression.

"You're cheeks also mine too, don't let anyone touch it too" she coquettishly said.

He feel his heart tickles by feather he almost carry her back home to kiss her mercilessly sadly he can't do this right now, his right hand pull her waist closer and he whispers to her whisper "Don't worry, I'm all yours" his warm breath blow her ear and her lips deliberately teased her ears, Lory almost fall on her knee if not he holds her waist.

Ming Yue Yin watch Su Jing slapped the stupid maid mercilessly but when she glances at lory who knew the two love bird flirting with each other carelessly, Ming Yue Yin mouth twitch slightly his uncle staring her Aunty just like the wolf who can't wait to swallow the rabbit, its a miracle Lory still maintain her chastity.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao admired Zhao Li Xin's boldness to flirt anywhere and everywhere without concern with other people thought, such bravery needs to take as an example. Ming Yue Yin suddenly feel goosebumps 'why suddenly I feel cold?'

Qian Mu Ting's face also becomes stiffed when she saw Zhao Li Xin with Lory flirting, she never has thought that cold man would make that kind of expression in front of his lover, how lucky that girl is if its her, would he make the same face like that? Qian Mu Ting clenched his fist at first her mother remind her that she has an outstanding background and a lot more beautiful then Luo Ri Yi so snatching Zhao li Xin should be piece of cake but the truth can't be so different.

Su Jing finish her last slapped. The maids face swollen red her lips bleed slightly she plops on the ground she feel indignant and pained but she can't say anything "Return to the palace and wait for me!" Qian Mu Tin says coldly.

"Yes you're highness" the maids wiped her tears she force herself raised from the ground, she bows at his mistress and leave immediately, she doesn't want to stay any second in that place either so she left without making a fuss.

Qian Mu Ting takes a deep breath than she approaches Zhao Li Xin "Lord Long Ming, please forgive my maid mistake is my fault enable to teach my own servant" she looks down with dejected face her long eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly, her expression make any man would feel sorry for her.

Zhao Li Xin reluctantly shift his gaze from Lory mesmerizing eyes, Qian Mu Ting look downcast she doesn't dare to lift her head such a frail beauty how could anyone bear to hurt her, Zhao Li Xin face remains calm "They're's nothing to forgive…" he said.

Qian Mu Ting feel elated, at least he doesn't hate her maybe he's not as cold as he shows to be, if he's not hated her maybe she would have the chance, she can barely hold the joy in her heart. She lifts her head and sees the beautiful pair of onyx eyes stare at her and her heart stop. Qian Mu Ting feel her cheeks hot she can feel imaginary smoked came from her head.
