Princess Agent

Moonjade

“Hahahahaha!! Serves her right!” tuwang tuwa na sambit ni Zhi Yan.

“Yes, Noble Consort Zhao is so fat, how can she do yoga properly without any guidance? 😂” tawa ko din.

“You are right my lady, Although Mei Wen is very useful and loyal, her brain cannot register these ‘yoogah’ matter!” Zhi Yan said.

Muli siyang humagalpak ng tawa habang nag aayos ng telang ginamit namin kanina.

She heard the news of the Noble Consort Zhao’s unfortunate experience when she went to the Imperial Kitchen and it was the main subject in there!

I think hindi lang sa Imperial Kitchen kundi sa buong palasyo na hahaha.

Not just us, but I'm sure, a lot of people is waiting for her downfall. She's known for her grumpy and bossy attitude. Kaya once na nagkamali siya at naging katatawanan, her enemy will feel like heaven. Kahit naman ako.

Naibaba ni Zhi Yan ang hawak niyang box na may mga tela. Tila may kung ano siyang naalala

“I remember now, my lady, there’s a letter from Lv’s (pronounced as Li). It must be an invitation for their Young Master’s 20th birthday in the next 2 weeks. They always send invitations in advance,” sabi ni Zhi Yan at iniabot sa akin ang isang bamboo box na parang drawer at ini-open ito.

It was also scented with black cosmos.

“I’m not going,” maikling sagot ko.

“You can’t not go, my lady. Besides, both the emperor and empress will be there. We have to prepare your accessories such as necklace, earrings, hairpins, bracelets …***..” Zhi Yan was saying something else but my mind became blank when she mentioned about accessories.

Which made me remember something very important to me.

RIGHT! Why did I forget about it? My moonjade! For now, it was my only clue to go back to the previous me! Haist!

“When will be the decapitation of the Family of Yulan?” tila nagulat naman si Zhi Yan sa biglang tanong ko na iyon.

Napaka out of the topic naman kasi ng tanong ko.

“Ah? Why do you ask, your highness?” she asked me back.

“Just answer me,” I told her.

“In the next two months. The authorities are still busy finding all their family members. But.. Princess Yulan will be sent to the Northern Border in the next 5 days,” Zhi Yan told me which made me startled.

I have to find her before she will be sent to the Northern border.

“Then.. if their things will be confiscated, where will their assets go?” I asked Zhi Yan again.

“Of course it will be in the Imperial Treasury. My lady.. why do I think that you are going to do something?” she suspected.

Yes, of course. Imperial treasury would take this things back. You know, to be given by the emperor again to other people as a reward or tokens.

“Zhi Yan, I have to take my moonjade back. Do you remember about it? My mom gave it to me when I was 5. However, Yulan took it two years ago, when I was 15. She claimed it’s hers. I can’t win them so I didn’t fight back. Now, I want it back,” I said and drank my tea which is apple flavored.

“But.. my lady, where will you find it? The Imperial Treasury is heavily guarded. You can’t enter there without the permission of Lv Changhong (The Minister of Imperial Treasury) My lady, they will throw you into the dungeon even if you are a princess!” Zhi Yan worriedly said.
