Chapter 39: Plots After Plots

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Hearing this, Haya was suddenly stunned. The servant girl at her side was also furious and asked harshly with her hands on her hips, “Who are you on earth?”

Princess Anyang was also shocked at his words. She did see the characters on the silk, Mount Baer, but she had never expected that the man would mention Mount Tianshan at the very beginning. It was the lifeline of Dongyi Kingdom; how could they exchange their lifeline with peonies?

Feeling the tensions among them, Princess Anyang couldn’t help looking at An Rushuang, only to find her sitting calmly beside without any surprise as if the man was not talking about Mount Tianshan but an anonymous hill. Perhaps An Rushuang did not know how important Mount Tianshan was to Dongyi Kingdom?

But Princess Anyang quickly discarded the unreasonable assumption.

An Rushuang’s elder brother was in the army; how could she not know Mount Tianshan?

At the same time, a middle-aged man was standing behind the apparently solid sapphire wall and everyone was exposed in front of his eyes as if the wall was invisible like a transparent mirror.

Looking at what was happening, the man slightly raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, “Who is she?”

“Your Majesty, she is the daughter of the Royal Inspector,” replied the imperial guard.

After a while, the man said, “She does pass on her father’s traits.”

The guard kept saying, “It is said that both Princess Mingxi and Princess Anyang held the flower banquet today. Almost all ladies went to the palace except her. Princess Mingxi is so angry about this...”

“Oh, brave enough...”

Opposite the wall, that “brave” An Rushuang slightly smiled and said in a soft voice, “Princess Haya, calm down. Perhaps Mister Zhu was just saying that he admires the grand snow mountain. Mister Zhu, don’t make Princess Haya misunderstand you.”

Frowning, Princess Haya looked at Mister Zhu vigilantly without saying a word.

Coughing, Mister Zhu laughed and said, “Cough... I heard that people from Dongyi Kingdom are very bold and forthright... I was just joking...I beg your pardon, Your Grace. Please forgive me.”

Saying so, he stood up and bowed to Princess Haya.

Then he said sincerely, “Although... cough... I am not intended for Mount Tianshan, I do want a small mountain at the end of the snow mountain, called Mount Baer. I assume that Mount Baer was just an insignificant mountain to Dongyi Kingdom. This is what I want exactly.”

Mount Baer only covered an area of dozens of square kilometres and its surroundings was extremely unproductive and bleak. Few crops could grow on that mountain and thus it had a nickname of “Barren Miser” at Dongyi Kingdom.

Mount Tianshan and Mount Baer were worlds apart...

Therefore, Princess Haya couldn’t help feeling confused on hearing his request, “There’s nothing on Mount Baer and not a single flower had ever grown on it. Why do you want it?”

Lowering her head, An Rushuang slightly curved her lips, thinking it would be of great use. She remembered three years later, Mount Baer turned into the famous iron mountain rich in minerals whose value could be compared to the wealth of a small country.

Sighing, Mister Zhu pretended to be feel sorrowful and said in a low voice, “My wife... cough... her predecessors were from Dongyi Kingdom... but... I think people should always revert to their origins and Mount Baer is my wife’s origin...”

Saying so, he coughed even more seriously and he could not even speak at a time. After a long while, he continued to say, “If one day... one day... I believe she also wants to revert to her origin.”

Confused, Princess Haya tilted her head, “Origin?”

Goodness! Who could expect that the Princess of Dongyi Kingdom could not understand “origin”? Hearing this, Mister Zhu almost spit blood. If he knew this earlier, he would not have said it in such a sentimental way.

An Rushuang was also surprised that she almost choked when drinking the tea. She explained to Princess Haya, “Princess Haya, it’s better not to ask. You know that his wife’s health is not in a good condition...”

Hearing this and recalling Mister Zhu’s previous sadness, Haya instantly understand what he meant, “If you want Mount Baer, I...” When she was about to agree, the servant girl slightly pushed her and whispered “Your Grace, better think twice.”

Haya suddenly thought of his first request concerning Mount Tianshan and became more vigilant. She turned to Mister Zhu and said, “Although Mount Baer does not worth much, it still belongs to the territory of Dongyi Kingdom. May I discuss with my father first and then tell you my final decision?” Saying so, Haya stood up and prepared to leave.

Frowning, Princess Anyang also stood up and couldn’t help feeling anxious. Mister Zhu also felt tough.

At this time, An Rushuang said, “That’s good. Today is the last day of the flower banquet and Princess Anyang and Mister Zhu still have something to discuss here. Let me see Princess Haya off and ask someone to bring the peony here in case of damage among the large flow of people in the Flower Tower.”

Hearing this, Princess Anyang and Mister Zhu were both slightly stunned, but they quickly echoed with An Rushuang.

Meanwhile, Haya stopped her steps and asked, “Are you leaving today?”

Saying so, she couldn’t help feeling entangled.
