The Love Imagination System

Part 15: Taking Steps

At about eight in the morning, Qingyi walked out of the dimensional space. Her beautiful clothes were made from premium silk that was unmatched in this world. Yinghao was still faithfully sitting on his shoulder in camouflage mode. He said the little panda was not ready to show itself in this big mansion.

He could see how hard the servants were working. Merely, Qingyi felt that they were too slow. With so many numbers, this homework should be completed in no time. It doesn't take hours. Tomorrow or the day after, maybe he will teach them what it works according to deadlines and targets.

The sun had yet to shine as Qingyi enjoyed her morning breakfast in the courtyard of her residence. While sunbathing, he watched the work of the maid who was repairing her room due to the big explosion yesterday.

Supervised by the employer directly, the servants become more active in working. They were afraid that this second master was angry and taught a lesson like he did to Xiao Junjie the other day.

Behind the shady tree a hundred meters away from the western courtyard, Baili Qingchen noticed the girl with a flat gaze. Beside him, Cui Kong took notice.

Seeing the girl eating while watching the maid work, Baili Qingchen was really curious. He wanted to know where the girl was last night and why not occupy her room when clearly she had already taken it.

“Your Majesty, I think this Princess Empress is quite ingenious. He knows how to take an elegant revenge on you,” said Cui Kong who was rewarded with a sharp look from Baili Qingchen.

"Shut up!"

Baili Qingchen nudged Cui Kong. Knowing a gesture that was somehow meaningless, the bodyguard rushed over to Liu Qingyi, while Baili Qingchen walked away leaving the western courtyard. Today, he had to enter the palace to report his meager work to the emperor.

Cui Kong stood before Qingyi, then lowered his head in salute. As a subordinate, Cui Kong had to be respectful to whomever master he protected.

Today he came to fulfill his promise with Qingyi when they bet the other day. Cui Kong had to be Qingyi's servant for one week and do whatever the girl told him to do.

While feeding off a fresh piece of dessert apple, Qingyi looked at the bodyguard with a casual look. Stared at with such a gaze, Cui Kong was perplexed. His new master did not give orders or open his mouth, just busy eating and staring at him as if he was a little boy who had just come home after playing.

Cui Kong grew even more confused as Qingyi's hand fed a fresh piece of apple back to her mouth and chewed it. Five minutes had already passed, yet Cui Kong stood up like a fool.

“You are quite loyal as well,” Liu Qingyi said after ten minutes of letting Cui Kong stand before her without saying anything.

Cui Kong scratched the back of his head that was completely itching. This atmosphere, so awkward for him. He was used to coming and being given orders. Being left for ten minutes actually made him like an idiot youth. The girl in front of him ignored him so much, purposely testing him and playing him in the morning.

“A true man always keeps his promise. I've lost, does Your Majesty have orders?” ask Cui

Kong tried to eliminate awkwardness.

“You can mop the floor?”

“Ah?”

“Forget it. Yesterday Princess Luo came, did she have a problem?” ask Qingyi.

“Mr Princess Luo came to complain. Her sister wants to marry Second Young Master Liu to the point of pleading with Consort Dowager Sun.”

Instantly Qingyi choked. Cui Kong gave her a glass of water. Qingyi tried to calm herself down from her shock. Cui Kong said Princess Luo's sister wanted to marry Liu Qingti? Just be right!

“You mean, Luo Mingyue?”

Cui Kong nodded his head. As he expected, the empress' daughter would be very surprised. During this time, Liu Qingti was the older brother who had always protected Qingyi in the prime minister's residence. He loved his sister who was born to a different mother because he knew very well what it was like to lose affection just because he was not as smart as his predecessor. Cui Kong had already investigated it clearly and found that the relationship between the sisters was very good.

So, when hearing a girl want to marry her brother, it was a normal reaction if Qingyi was to choke. The Qingyi he knew did not know Luo Mingyue. Liu Qingti also did not carelessly play. What made Luo Mingyue want to marry him was truly a mystery.

“Is my brother crazy? She's dating a woman again?” ask Qingyi.

“On that, I don't know. But clearly, the Emperor was angry when he heard it,” said Cui Kong.

Qingyi corrected her sitting position. His elegance should not be lost just out of surprise. Cui Kong's reply made him wonder if his groove had changed again. Previously, Luo Mingyue, the younger brother of Luo Niang was a girl living outside of the capital.

However as both of her parents died, Luo Niang who had been raised to be a daughter of Consort Sun's consort brought her to the capital and gave her a luxurious residence.

In addition, Luo Niang also gave a servant to serve him and arrange all his needs. He who was already busy inside the palace could not pay attention to her at all times. Luo Mingyue was a free and open-minded girl. Wherever he went, he always stepped without a burden even though everyone knew his identity.

His meeting with Liu Qingti, Liu Qingyi's older brother, was not in the story. Luo Mingyue had never known Liu Qingti even until the end of the story.

However, why would she want to marry Liu Qingti while the two had never met?

Although Luo Mingyue was Grand Empress Dowager Sun's niece, the prime minister clearly knew that this marriage was unfavorable to her. She would choose a girl from another noble family to marry off to her children, regardless of how useless the child might be.

“My brother never met Luo Mingyue. Is it possible for a girl to fall in love with a man she has never even met?” qingyi asked curiously.

“I don't know either. Maybe that's why Princess Luo is so frustrated,” replied Cui Kong.

"Then, did Baili Qingchen, I mean, King Changle help her?"

"Eitherway. His Majesty doesn't like to interfere too deeply. But, since this concerns her cousin, I'm sure she has a way."

Qingyi sent Cui Kong away from the western courtyard. After Cui Kong left, he called Yinghao and asked him.

“What is this about you?” he asked while he reached out to Yinghao's ears.

“Enak only! Sir, you yourself have messed it up!” reject Yinghao.

“I?”

“At the end of the palace visit! Sir, didn't I warn you?”

The girl's memory goes back three days. When did you finish your palace visit? Wasn't that the day when he ran off and walked around in the middle of the city alone and lured many people with the elegance of his good looks and heroic demeanor? What does that have to do with Luo Mingyue wanting to marry Liu Qingti?

Then, his memory was immediately fixed when he helped a girl who almost got hit by a horse troupe led by Baili Qingyan. Is possible?

“The girl I helped was Luo Mingyue?”

Yinghao nodded quickly while jumping up and down. Qingyi instantly limp. Unexpected plot twist? He thought Yinghao's remark back then was just a joke that he didn't take it seriously, who would have thought that the impact would be like this. Qingyi was now like a fool.

If Luo Mingyue knew that the real Liu Qingti was not the same as the Liu Qingti she had met on the street, if until the girl knew the person who saved her was a woman, everything would be chaotic.

In addition, Emperor Baili would also be angry if he found out that the daughter-in-law who was married to her son was reckless by disguising herself as a man and walking confidently in the middle of the city. Everything is really fucked up!

Suddenly, Yinghao's ears twitched signaling something.

“Master, new mission is already active. You must prevent Luo Mingyue and Liu Qingti from meeting!”

“Are you crazy? How am I supposed to clean up this mess if they don't meet?” qingyi Protest.

This is his fault. Qingyi had to think of a way for this misunderstanding to end without causing a commotion. If Luo Mingyue knew that the Liu Qingti she wanted to marry was not Liu Qingti helping her on the roadside, either, the girl would probably complain to her aunt and ask the emperor to investigate her for deceiving the emperor. It was likely that Qingyi would also be dragged down and considered cooperating to humiliate the imperial family.

Qingyi could not let the prime minister use that opportunity to take revenge and make her a scapegoat. His brother can go to jail too. If that all happened, Qingyi was in trouble. The Changle King's Mansion couldn't help him either.

“I want to change mission!” exclaim Qingyi.

“Then, you must gain Luo Niang's trust first!”

Right at that moment, the maid in the front yard told her that Princess Luo had come to visit with some of her servants. The carriage was parked in front of the gate of King Changle's mansion. Qingyi who was relaxing immediately got up, then ran over to welcome Luo Niang's arrival. Opportunity has come, the picture.

He saw Luo Niang walking in the corridor of King Changle's mansion. It was true that a princess, her steps were so graceful and dignified. It was very different from yesterday when Liu Qingyi saw him complaining in front of Baili Qingchen. The two met in the park.

“Princess Luo, welcome,” welcome Qingyi.

Luo Niang changed his expression. He had his servant retreat, then after that he instantly turned a hundred and eighty degrees, leaving Qingyi shocked and astonished at once.

“My beautiful new cousin-in-law! Do you want to be my foster sister?”

Qingyi frowned. Apparently, Luo Niang had come to complain back about his sister. The problems that Qingyi caused turned out to be long-tailed.

Now, he had to think of a way for Luo Niang to trust him so that he could change missions and find another way to resolve his issues.

“Daughter Luo, why don't you come in and sit down first?”
