The Princess And The Lord

The empress or today known as Royal Consort Yu born as the first daughter of Han Wan Zu, her maiden name is Han Zi Yu, the Huang family and Qian Family still have blood-related it makes Han Zi Yu as duke in the Liu Yan Kingdom, Han Zi Yu was chosen by the queen dowager as the crown prince consort because of her beauty and talent in four art.

From the outside Han Zi Yu is a calmed, poised and graceful lady, she is well-spoken, smart and exuded with noble aura, it make her a perfect picture of how royal consort should be. But beyond all the beautiful façade Han Zi Yu is cold, cruel and have enormous ambition, to get what she wants she never hesitated to dirty her own hand but her dark side is hidden well within her other than her close maid who served her from a child only Qian Mu Ting knows how vicious her mother could be compared to her Father emperor Qian Mu Ting fear her Mother more. ​​

Royal Consort Yu returns with a different dress, the maid already fixed her hair and her make up, now she doesn't look like crazy women who throw everything on sight. Han Zi Yu is very beautiful and because most people in this world marry at the young aged Han Zi Yu barely thirty-five this year, in Lory worlds she would still consider as young woman.

The maids serve the tea carefully everyone is walking in tip-toe fearing to anger Han Zi Yu, in the normal condition, she has never been a patient lady for her subordinated and after her downfall, her mood becomes like a firecracker her temper can explode abruptly without any reason.

"Tomorrow I arranged yo to meet General Yuan Shao" she suddenly said while blowing her tea.

Qian Mu Ting stunned but she remains composed "For what reasoned Mother?"

"I will arrange engagement between you and young master Yuan, your father, and maternal grandfather have agreed about it"

Under her sleeve Qian Mu Ting squeeze her handkerchief "Isn't he supposed to marry Yang Wei Lan, I heard they knew each other since they were a child" she forces her gentle smiles.

Han Zi Yu scoffed in disdained "Yuan Shao never like Yang Wei Lan and he had blatantly rejected the arrangement since a long time ago so it wouldn't be a problem for you" said Han Zi Yu while sips her tea elegantly.

'No Problem? It is a big problem!'

Qian Mu Ting bites her lower lips, she had seen Yuan Shao before, even though she admits Yuan Shao is a handsome manly man and has great achievement but compare to Zhao Li Xin she loved Zhao Li Xin more. She always knew she will never be married for love but when she was assigned to seduced Zhao Li Xin her heart is elated, she basically admired him for a long times so when she meets him face to face her heart race for the first time, never in her life she wants something this much and this bad before, she can't stop thinking about him and she's been dreamed about him every night.

When she heard Zhao Li Xin announced his fiancée as his wife her heart shattered like broken glass, while she still mourns her mother suddenly shoved her to another man how could she not feel lost.

"Mother….should I marry General Yuan?" she timidly asked.

Han Zi Yu's long eyebrows creased her expression turn dark and she put down the teacup on the table harshly "What make you don't satisfied with it? General Yuan is a dream of every woman in this country, you think you can find a better suitor than him?" Han Zi Yu shouted angrily, she thought Qian Mu Ting would be grateful to her but instead, her daughter make the expression as if she swallows a poison.

"I….I don't mean to, I…..I just" she becomes stuttered, her mother stares make her feel uneasy.

Han Zi Yu is not stupid she knew exactly what her daughter thought "What, are you still hope for Long Ming?" she sneers.

Qian Mu Ting didn't dare answer her mother question nor she dares to stare at her mother eyes but the expression is obvious to see, Han Zi Yu giggles in mockery "I give you a chance to get close with that man because I know you've been admiring him for so long, I thought because you like him so much you be able to move his heart but who knows you can even win from a lowly maid, you really have disappointed me"

Qian Mu Ting looks down her eyes becomes moist with tears but she held her tears not to drop or her mother will scowl her as a weak again, Han Zi Yu stares at her daughter with utter disappointment. When she pregnant she thought the baby would be a boy and she has great hope for his young little prince, she hopes her position will be strengthened by her son and someday she will become the mother of the Emperor.

Unfortunately, the child that she hopes for is a baby girl, her heart suddenly dropped and her dream shattered and what make things worst her body ruined after she gave birth Qian Mu Ting and she conceived another child, deep down Han Zi Yu blamed Qian Mu Ting for everything happened to her, she blamed Qian Mu Ting to be a girl and she blamed Qian Mu Ting for ruined her body and mist of all she blames Qian Mu Ting for ruined her dream.

"Don't disappoint me again, you must marry Yuan Shao!" Han Zi Yu rose from her seat and left the room stomping her feet.

After her mother left tears falls on her cheeks, she feel she pushed at the end of a cliff without noway out. More tears fall down on her face, she sobbed alone in the empty room, the maids didn't dare to bother her and choose to feign ignorance. She can't understand how everything went so wrong, how can she be in this position.

She supposed to be the venerable princess of Liu Yan kingdom, the beloved daughter of the empress, many men begging to be her husband she never failed to get men's attention but why….why Zhao Li Xin so cold to her, why he always ignores her, he doesn't even pretend to be nice to her and why her Mother demoted, why is that woman didn't die….why Luo Ri Yi still alive!

This is her fault, everything ruined because of her, she is the bad woman, she has ruined her life!

Qian Mu Ting sobbing getting louder, she doesn't care with other people present she just wants to release her frustration.
