Chapter 191: Roughed Her Up, Then She Became Obedient

The fifth princess touched her head where she was smacked and began to defend herself, feeling wronged, “I did! I studied. Ever since I came back from White Stone City, I have been studying every day. Even Imperial Father and Consort Mother praised me.”

“That’s good,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile as she patted the fifth princess’ head. “However, it’s still not enough yet. Don’t try to slack off, and don’t keep making jokes and disrespecting my reputation. Otherwise, I will disown you.”

“Ah, Master. I did not. Really. I have been very obedient. Don’t disown me,” replied the fifth princess urgently as she swung Ling Chuxi’s arm. She got anxious when she heard Ling Chuxi’s words. As she swung Ling Chuxi’s arm, she also nuzzled her head against Ling Chuxi’s upheld palm that was patting her head just a moment ago.

“I got it. Stop swinging my arm. I’m starting to feel dizzy,” said Ling Chuxi helplessly.

The fifth princess finally managed to calm down after hearing Ling Chuxi say this and stopped her actions. Fu Chengyu who was watching all this gave them both a sidelong glance. Was this really the fifth princess the emperor and Consort Li were having headaches over? She was actually being so obedient. The difference was so significant as to be fearful of. Fu Chengyu thought that even if he were to tell someone else about this change in the fifth princess’ behavior, nobody would believe him. Ling Chuxi had actually conquered the arrogant and willful fifth princess so thoroughly.

“Okay, that’s enough. I will be going to report to Wind Cloud Academy soon. I’ll meet you there. You should return home first,” instructed Ling Chuxi.

“All right then. I will return home first, master. Otherwise, Consort Mother will send people to look for me. I will come and see you another day.” The fifth princess reluctantly bid farewell to Ling Chuxi.

After sending the fifth princess off, Fu Chengyu looked at Ling Chuxi, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, and said with a smile, “Miss Chuxi, I never really thought that my arrogant younger Imperial Sister would actually be so obedient before you.”

“I just roughed her up a little here and there, and then she became obedient,” replied Ling Chuxi nonchalantly.

Fu Chengyu was stunned. Ling Chuxi’s words meant that she had not only roughed up the fifth princess once, but more than once?

“Big Brother Fu, can you arrange for the people of Feng Yan Union to meet me as soon as possible?” asked Ling Chuxi. She was most concerned about this matter.

“Sure, no problem. I will send someone to get in touch with them now. If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to meet someone by nightfall. Go and rest in the meantime. I will ask the kitchen to prepare lunch. Then for dinner, we can dine at the Thousand Storey Restaurant.” Fu Chengyu’s arrangements were very well thought of.

“Thank you, Big Brother Fu. Then I’ll have to trouble you for such matters also,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile, expressing her thanks.

Fu Chengyu’s efficiency was very high indeed. The Feng Yan Union was contacted very quickly and arrangements were made to meet with their people at the Thousand Storey Restaurant that night itself.

The Thousand Storey Restaurant in the capital was not actually a thousand storeys high. It was just that it was located in the highest building in the capital, excluding the imperial palace. This building was seven storeys high and the restaurant occupied its seventh floor. The Thousand Storey Restaurant had another unique point, which was that it had an “elevator”. This “elevator” was an exquisite mechanism. It was made of wood and could stop at each level in a very stable manner, allowing guest to move easily up and down all seven storeys without having to worry. This really broadened Ling Chuxi’s horizons and she marveled at the creator of this mechanism. In the end, when she asked about it, the skill to construct such a mechanism had already been lost. It was something a master had made some three hundred years ago, and that master had long since passed away. This restaurant has also existed for over three hundred years. Such an extraordinary building was not one that could be built over again in replication. This left Ling Chuxi feeling that it was rather a pity.

On the highest floor of the building, the seventh, the “elevator” came to a stable stop and the interior of the Thousand Storey Restaurant spread out before them. The waiter welcomed them with an inviting gesture and brought them over to an elegant private room. Looking down from the restaurant windows, they could see what seemed like tens of thousands of houses all lit up. It was as if the entire capital lay beneath their feet.

After taking their orders, the waiter left.

“Will the people from Feng Yan Union definitely come?” asked Ling Chuxi as she sipped her tea.

“All they said was that they will appear tonight,” replied Fu Chengyu. “They did not say exactly when they would do so.”
