The Palace (2)
âAny colour looks good on my spirit girl!â said Ye Lang airily, as he started to help it out of its clothes.
âYou little pervert!â said Coldblood Five again. She had to insult him every time he took off its clothes.
âI didnât take off EVERYTHING, so how could you call me pervert? You can only say it if I did that!â
âHmmph! Itâs not like you havenât stripped her naked before.â
âExactly, and I didnât stop you from shouting then, did I? If itâs not naked, donât shout,â said Ye Lang.
â...â Coldblood Five was speechless.
â...â Coldblood Seven was stunned.
âWeâre done here! Letâs go!â Uh, where should we hide? This dress doesnât even have a pocketâŠâ Ye Lang noticed a very serious problem. After putting on this dress, both of them couldnât hide at her cleavage area, nor anywhere else.
â...â Coldblood Five and Seven fell silent again.
âWhy donât we hide in her dress? I guarantee no one would find us,â said Ye Lang, looking at the skirt section of the dress. As long as she didnât lift her dress up, no one would find them underneath.
âOnly you will think of a place like this! How can we hide in there?!â said Coldblood five.
âWhatâs the problem? Itâll have to do, as long as no one sees us!â
âItâs a private area!!â
âItâs not even a real person, only a reanimated spirit! Whatâs the problem?â
âYou still canât do that either, itâs weird!â Coldblood Five shook her head.
âAre we doing this again? You women are annoying...Women? Oh, I know,â as he muttered, Ye Lang suddenly recalled something very popular among ladies.
âWhat?â Coldblood Five was ready to kick if he proposed another perverted idea.
âShe can hold a clutch or a handbag!â Ye Lang quickly found a white, elegant clutch in the room. This clutch was enough to fit both Ye Lang and Coldblood Five, and there would still be a lot of room left.
It didnât ruin the girlâs look, possibly making the outfit better.
âNot bad... Thatâll do!â Coldblood Five pulled Ye Lang into the clutch. She planned to alter the dress in the carriage on the way to the palace.
Them royal messengers would definitely have a carriage!
However, a small problem occurred as they were getting on the carriage. The royal messengers politely stopped Coldblood Seven from getting on.
The emperor of the Vermilion Bird Empire only invited Lady Marge, but not Coldblood Seven. Naturally, they couldnât let Coldblood Seven tag along. Although it was embarrassing for Coldblood Seven, she understood.
The emperor was different from commoners. If His Grace wanted to meet you, your name would be mentioned. If not, that would mean he had no plans to meet you. Coldblood Seven couldâve tagged along if they were meeting a commoner, but this was the emperor.
âIâm going to the palace too. Iâve promised to meet Princess Longxin, Prince Longyang and I was just about to meet them. Do you mind?â Coldblood Seven knew, but she still wanted to try her luck. If they didnât let her on, sheâd just meet the princess and the prince.
âIf thatâs the case⊠We donât mindâŠâ said the messenger, sweating. He knew people like them couldnât be offended, he was fortunate he politely refused her before or thereâd be trouble.
âPrince Longyang? Doesnât he have the Longyang...?â laughed Ye Lang.
âHe...DoesâŠâ said the messenger, still sweating. Had the prince done anything odd to Lady Marge?
âReally? Thatâs interesting,â said Ye Lang, surprised. He was only joking, he didnât know it was true.
However, Ye Lang was referring to a different thing from the messenger. Ye Lang was referring to the slang for the prince being attracted to men, but the messenger was referring to something else.
With this miscommunication, Ye Lang reminded himself not to get all over this man!
âLady Marge, and...â the messenger wanted to invite them onto the carriage, but he forgot he didnât know Coldblood Sevenâs name.
âIâm Xue Qi, her cousin,â offered Coldblood Seven.
âOh, Ms Xue, please get on the carriage,â he said respectfully, gesturing to the carriage.
On the carriage, Ye Lang and Coldblood Five jumped out of the clutch. Coldblood Five immediately started altering the dress, while Ye Lang directed from afar, somewhat rudely. She didnât listen to all his instructions though.
âLittle brat!â warned Coldblood Seven solemnly when she saw him instructing Coldblood Five.
âWhat? Iâm very busy,â Ye Lang was directing Coldblood Five at a tight spot, watching her dance with a needle. To 'dance' was the right word because the needle looked like a sword in her hand.
Coldblood Fiveâs stitching skills were impressive indeed. Very soon, the ill-fitting dress looked as if it was made just for the spirit girl.
As for Ye Langâs instructions? Most of them had to be filtered off, for he only had one or two good ideas.
Ye Lang knew he wasnât the best at womenâs fashion, or he wouldnât have chosen Liu Feiyan to help Zhen Xiaoyan with her outfit.
Coldblood Seven looked at Coldblood Five, a little surprised she was good at sewing. She didnât care much though, it wasnât abnormal for a girl to know how to sew, assassin or not.
âLittle brat, remember to behave at the palace when you meet the emperor! I need you to make him like you, so he would invite you to the ceremony! You must remember this, remember what we're here for!!â reminded Coldblood Seven. She was worried because Ye Lang wasnât a person who cared about anything. In fact, being reckless as he was, he might accidentally offend the emperor.
If that happened, forget about the ceremony- he might be dead by then!
âAlright, I know, Iâll remember! IF I rememberâŠâ said Ye Lang, being very honest.
â...â
âColdblood Five, watch him! Donât tolerate the brat anymore!â Coldblood Seven could only put her hope on Coldblood Five. She was the last resort. If there were any other options, Coldblood Seven wouldnât have relied on Coldblood Five like this.
Coldblood Five was only good at murder, she didnât know anything else!
