Sure enough, Li Min De appeared in her line of

sight.

“Gongzhu is of royal birth, Min De do not dare

to chase Gongzhu away. Gongzhu, please return to the palace as soon as

possible.” Li Min De said emotionlessly.

“Li Min De! You have quite the nerve. I

considered you a friend, so I came to find you to accompany me out to play, but

you are avoiding me like the plague! Isn’t that making a joke out of me?! You

don’t know how many sons of aristocrats begged and kneeled for me to spare them

a glance, but I could care less. As for you, is accompanying me to the garden

such a grievance to you? Why are you making excuses, if you continue like this,

do not blame me for being rude!” Jiu Gongzhu said as she stamped her feet in

anger, her face flushed.

Li Min De looked at her indifferently: “Does

Gongzhu have Bixia’s imperial edict?”

Jiu Gongzhu was surprised for a moment: “What

imperial edict?”

Li Min De’s lips raised coldly: “The imperial

edict that says Min De has to accompany Gongzhu, if there isn’t one, please

forgive Min De for being impolite.”

Jiu Gongzhu was taken aback and at a loss for

word. Everyone else was stunned, who would dare to talk to Gongzhu like this,

this youth is rather audacious!

Da Furen rushed outside after seeing the

commotion in the courtyard and quickly greeted Gongzhu: “I did not know Gongzhu

had arrived, please forgive this discourtesy.”

Jiu Gongzhu impatiently waved her hand: “Just

tell Li Min De to come here and accompany me, I’m leaving right away!”

Da Furen looked over at Li Min De, smiling as

she said: “This… Hope Gongzhu will not take to heart, I cannot decide this.”

Jiu Gongzhu grew furious: “Then find someone

who can and bring them here!”

Da Furen smiled in Li Wei Yang’s direction:

“Gongzhu, you see, if Xianzhu were to

give the word, San shaoye will certainly go with you.”

Jiu Gongzhu looked over aLi Wei Yang

responded: “Gongzhu, this is Min De’s decision. Since Gongzhu does not have an

Imperial edict, he does not have to go. Gongzhu should still return soon.”

Jiu Gongzhu felt that Li Wei Yang’s cheerful

smile was a bit unnatural and began to feel that the entire household was

playing with her. She did not understand any of it. In her mind, if she liked

someone, then they must obediently follow and do as she wished! Last time, she

called Li Wei Yang jiejie, but now Li Wei Yang was in her way. She could not

help but be angry and decided to teach this ridiculous jiejie a lesson for once

and for all!

“Xianzhu, I met Qi ge earlier. Qi ge had me

bring a gift to Xianzhu.” Gongzhu’s eyes gleamed, defiance flashing across

them.

Li Wei Yang looked over and knew what she was

thinking but pretended to curiously ask: “Oh, I wonder what Qi Dianxia is

giving me?”

Jiu Gongzhu giggled and waved Li Wei Yang

over. Li Wei Yang just stood there. Jiu Gongzhu had to walk over and present

the golden gourd hidden in her sleeve to Li Wei Yang: “For you! It’s very

valuable!”

Li Wei Yang took the golden gourd, accepting

the gift.

Jiu Gongzhu was a bit anxious, “Why not take a

look inside? It’s a precious treasure!”

She was truly a child, her intentions written

on her face. Li Wei Yang saw others reveal their surprise. She smiled and said:

“Alright, I will take a look.”

Li Min De shook his head at Li Wei Yang. Li

Wei Yang blinked, shook the golden gourd, then opened the gourd, pouring its

contents out.

Jiu Gongzhu had a satisfied look on her face.

However, when Li Wei Yang held it up by the

tail for everyone to see, she could not smile anymore.

Li Wei Yang said: “Ah, there is a cute snake

inside, why isn’t it moving though?”

Jiu Gongzhu became afraid. Once she

encountered this snake in the Imperial Garden and immediately ordered the

eunuchs to beat it to death. After that, whenever she met concubines she

disliked, she would bring out the dead snake to scare them. Although crude,

this tactic had never failed!

Li Wei Yang’s face did not change: “So, it

seems Gongzhu is fond of snakes, Bai Zhi, have the kitchen prepare a live

snake.”

Bai Zhi smiled: “Yes.”

Jiu Gongzhu’s little face was pale, nearly

drained of color: “You… What are you trying to do?”

“Gongzhu, aren’t you fond of snakes? I must

offer a gift in return.” Li Wei Yang smiled.

Horrified, Gongzhu subconsciously took a few

steps back.

Da Furen fiercely admonished her: “Li Wei

Yang, are you insane?!”

Li Wei Yang turned around and looked at Da

Furen before advising: “Mother, the winds are strong out here. You should

retire first and rest to avoid falling ill again.”

Da Furen suppressed her anger and sneered:

“Wei Yang, do as you please, do not say I did not warn you, Gongzhu Dianxia is

a highly noble——”

She had not finished speaking when Bai Zhi

returned with a bamboo container. Li Wei Yang removed the lid, a large, spotted

snake hissed “si” and flicked its tongue as it eyed everyone.

Li Wei Yang smiled and reached for the seven

inches of the snake. The

snake refused to let her seize it, opening its mouth and rattling its tail.

Unfazed, she picked it up and held it with its gaping mouth facing Jiu Gongzhu:

“Gongzhu, isn’t it just adorable?!”

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Jiu Gongzhu screamed and

desperately ran outside. She ran into someone at the gates, then realized who

it was and cried aloud: “Qi ge! Qi ge! She’s terrifying, she’s really

terrifying!”

Li Wei Yang smiled. In Jiu Gongzhu’s mind, the

impression of a terrifying woman would be forever engraved beside Li Wei Yang’s

name.

Qi Huangzi Tuoba Yu wore a shuanglong coronet,

his face flawless as jade, and silk garments with gold embroidery encircled by

a jeweled belt.

Looking at his relieved face, it seems he had been searching for Gongzhu for a

while. He pulled her into a hug: “I told you not to run around, you disappeared

in the blink of an eye! If I hadn’t sent the guards out to search, how much larger

of a mess did you intend to make?!”

Jiu Gongzhu’s face was full of tears. She did

not holding back her grievances and pointed at Li Wei Yang: “She… She… Snake…”

Da Furen was overjoyed when Tuoba Yu came,

then she remembered Li Chang Le was not here and became angry again. She felt

lightheaded. Unable to see clearly before her, she said: “I hope both Dianxia

will forgive me, I am ill and cannot properly receive guests.”

Tuoba Yu smiled faintly: “It was not right for

us to enter without permission, Furen, do not mind us, please go ahead and

rest.”

Da Furen nodded. After that, a servant helped

her go back inside.

Tuoba Yu looked at Li Wei Yang. She even shook

the snake she was holding with a good-natured smile: “Dianxia has just arrived.

I was about to invite Gongzhu to enjoy this snake soup.”

Gongzhu was scared speechless, tightly

gripping Tuoba Yu’s sleeves as if Li Wei Yang was an evil spirit.

“Gongzhu, the taste of snake is very pleasant

and even better when eaten alive.” Li Wei Yang smiled faintly. She held out her

hand. Beside her, Zhao Yue placed a knife in her hand. Li Wei Yang slightly

frowned before bringing the knife down on the snake. The slicing sound could be

heard as the snake’s head fell to the ground without a single drop of blood.

The thin blade of the knife grated against the the snake’s body, still not

drawing blood.

Everyone looked on in wide-eyed shock,

including Tuoba Yu.

Li Wei Yang smiled, extending her hand and

peeled back the snake’s skin, revealing its translucent, pale flesh. Li Wei

Yang ordered Bai Zhi to bring a porcelain bowl, then cut the snake into pieces:

“Gongzhu, come taste this, it’s amazing.”

Jiu Gongzhu swayed, a bit unsteady on her

feet.

Li Min De covered his mouth with his sleeve

and coughed discreetly. At times, Sanjie liked to scare children, but to see

the unruly Gongzhu this frightened was very entertaining.

“Come, taste it, it’s really good. Back in the

countryside, I was even willing to eat mice when I was hungry, not just

snakes.” Li Wei Yang presented the bowl to Jiu Gongzhu.

Jiu Gongzhu wanted to retch and hid behind

Tuoba Yu’s back, refusing to come out.

Tuoba Yu smiled at Jiu Gongzhu: “Fu Huang

often says that you are bold and fearless, but it seems there is someone you

are afraid of after all.”

Jiu Gongzhu seized Tuoba Yu’s sleeve,

trembling as she thought: aside from Li Wei Yang, who would dare to play with

snakes and even eat it raw. It was simply terrifying.
