MY WASTE PRINCE

"I really don"t believe this can happen. How can Huangtaizi propose to Yun Jing Fei? "Mei Xiu, my friend sighed. Her face looked annoyed. She is just like me.

"I also don"t believe. All my efforts caught Guo w.a.n.gye attention was failed. He prefers choice Yun Jing Fei than me, "I answered.

"So what will you do?" Mei Xiu asked

"I"m not sure what to do to prevent their marriage,"

"I think you should find a way to Yun Jing Fei reputation going worst," Mei Xiu suggested me. I wrinkled my forehead as a sign that I did not understand his words.

"You have to make a rumor that Yun Jing Fei is not a good girl. She like to walk with a various of men, "Mei Xiu continued her words. I sighed.

"I can"t do that. You know I can"t leave home, "I answered in a weak voice.

"Yes, I see ..." Mei Xiu said with a disappointed expression.

"What if you just damage Yun Jing Fei"s purity. You give aphrodisiac to Yun Jing Fei"s food. Ask one of your male servants to sleeping with her, "Mei Xiu suggested again. I sighed. I"ve thought of the same thing before.

"Mei Xiu, your proposal is very dangerous. If I get caught, I can be sentenced to death. All the servants in this house sided with Yun Jing Fei. I can"t tell one of them to hara.s.s Yun Jing Fei, "I answered softly. Mei Xiu nodded her head. She seems to understand my words.

"So what do you think?"

"If I can"t fail their marriage then I have to join Yun Jing Fei to the Palace. I have to be Huangtaizi"s concubine and gain his favored," I answered.

"Have you told your father?" She asked me. I nodded.

"Already. But he refused my request, "I answered.

"I see," Mei Xiu said and we were both silent for a while.

"Actually I have made a letter to Huangtaizi, but I cannot give it directly to him because I was not allowed to leave home," I said to Mei Xiu. He looked at me with sparkling eyes.

"I can tell Huangtaizi. This weekend, my father made a party at home. He invited all the princes including Huangtaizi. I can give your letter to him at the party, "Mei Xiu said and her words made me happy.

"Thank you, Mei Xiu," I said and he smiled.

"Welcome," Mei Xiu answered me.

***

"Xia He is crazy. It"s all because you spoiled her too much!" my father said loudly in family meeting room. All members of the Yun Clan"s members gather in there. Exactly two months after the decree stating Yun Jing Fei had a marriage with Huángtizǐ. During this one month, I staying at home. My father didn"t let me go out of the manor.

This meeting should have discussed our family"s preparation for Yun Jing Fei"s marriage. However, my father now raises my problem to then. All uncles and aunts look uncomfortable heard father"s words. I am biological child of the clan leader, it"s natural if I got their love more than the adopted child. Why did my father scold my uncle and aunt to their love action for me?

I already suspected that this meeting would discuss me instead of discussing Yun Jing Fei. My mother picked me up from my room to the meeting room. Her face looked sad. From her tone, I know my father got angry.

Since I was sitting in one of meeting room chairs, Yun Jing Fei and younger brother, Yun Fenying do not appear. Obviously, I"m the main topic of today"s talk.

"Gege (brother), why does Gege say Xia He-er is crazy?" my aunt asked with the softest voice. Mei Hua"s aunt clearly seemed afraid to ask my father. Both of my uncles who were seated on the left and right give gimmick to my aunt so she should talk to my father. Maybe in their minds, my father will soften if their sister ask him. Their guess is not entirely right. Father look at Aunt Mei Hua with a sharp and cold eyes until Auntie lowered her head. No longer daring to look at father"s face.

"Xia He asked me so that I could persuade Huángtaizi to appoint her as a Cefei (Concubine Rank I) at his Palace," said my father in a cold voice.

"Do you think that is something that sane people could say?" my father asked them back and they looked at each other.

"Becoming a Cefei for Huángtaizi isn"t a strange thing, Gege (brother). Isn"t that going to raise our family"s reputation?" Uncle Chen said calmly.

"I didn"t expect merchants like you could talk like that, Chen. You already know that Huangtaizi only loves Yun Jing Fei. If I let Xia He become Cefei for Huángtizǐ, are you sure that Xia He will gain Huátàizǐ favored? " my father said in a cold tone.

I do not understand my father thought. He certainly knows that I"m not a stupid kid. Basically I"m a very calculating person. I did not imagine when saying that someday Huángtaizǐ would love me more than Yun Jing Fei. Now I have managed to trick people when I was persecuting Yun Jing Fei. Later at the Palace, I can repeat it again. I could make Huángtaizǐ misunderstand with Yun Jing Fei and make Huángtaizi hate her so he will love me.

I"m very sure that can happen. Because at the Palace, my parents not there. During this time, I restricted my persecution to Yun Jing Fei because fear of being discovered by my parents. At the Palace, I will be free to plan and do anything to bring down Yun Jing Fei.

"Gege, too serious. I"m sure our beautiful Yun Xia He won"t lose to Yun Jing Fei. We haven"t spoiled Yun Xia He all this time. We only added the love that my nephew didn"t get from Gege. Gege thought too much about Yun Jing Fei and continued to feel guilty because that girl"s father died while saving Gege, "said Uncle Chen again. This time Uncle Chen dared to againts White Tiger in our family.

"Can"t you think Yun Jing Fei is the same as Yun Xia He? However, Yun Jing Fei was a descendant of the Yun family. His father, Yun Baozhai is your brother. Even though he was born from our father"s concubine, "said my father in a calm voice. I looked at everyone with a little confused. Didn"t my uncle and aunt say that Yun Jing Fei"s father is a member of a family branch at the border? I did see the board with Yun Baozhai"s names writing in our ancestral worship room. It was placed in the row of the main clan of the Yun Clan. But I didn"t know that the name was Yun Jing Fei"s biological father"s name.

"Are you still angry with him because of that? Remember that he loves us and always give his strength lo help us. Eventhough he died to save our family treasure and save my live," my father asked and his voice sounded disappointed. This time all of my father"s brothers bowed their heads.

"I don"t think it"s only Yun Xia He who has gone crazy. You"re more insane," said father loudly this time and hit the table beside his chair hard. The break made the whole room flinch.

"Your insanity in pampering Yun Xia He made her crazy. You might not believe me, but Xia He had secretly sent a letter to Huángtaizǐ and asked him to take her to as his concubine. Look! This is Yun Xia He"s letter and the entire n.o.ble family already knows how cheap our Yun family"s daughter is, "said father, throwing a neatly folded letter to Uncle Chen"s face.

I feel I can"t breathe anymore now. I did send the letter secretly to Huángtaizi. But why did he get it? Why do all the n.o.ble families know? I asked Mei Xiu to present it to Huángtizǐ who would attend the party that was held at her house. It seems like Mei Xiu has betrayed me. She might indeed have submitted the letter to Huángtaizi but she also showed my letter to another people. That fox!

"Huángtaizi told me about this letter and I almost killed myself because of shame," my father said loudly. All of my uncles this time looked at me with mixed eyes. Embarra.s.sed and angry mixed in their faces.

"Why is Xia He do stupid think like this? We can support Xia He to become Cefei if Xia He wants. But not by embarra.s.sing Yun family," said Aunt Mei Hua in a trembling voice. I looked around me. I feel so shame. I did not expect that smart girl like me turned out to made a fatal mistake like this. My rationality flows away by emotion. I have embarra.s.sed myself and my family.

I felt dizzy immediately and I felt the earth spinning fast. Everything becomes opaque and dark. I fainted.
