The Story of a Stroppy Princess

Proofread by DragonRider

Nangong Lieye glared at Hua Yueling, who wore a domineering sneer, with his eyes wide open in disbelief. How dare she defy him blatantly?

“She is right. Prince is superior to Princess and Princess to concubines. In terms of etiquette, don’t you think they are impolite?” Hua Tieying glimpsed at his daughter approvingly, and then stared sharply at Nangong Lieye.

The crowd whispered to one another. They all agreed with what Prime Minister said. How dare concubines and maids oppress the Princess? Mansion of Prince Chennan was indeed a place of no etiquette.

“Your Highness, you have punished me. Now, it’s my turn to punish those who offended me.” She squinted at him slightly. Seeing he was stunned, she suddenly turned around and shouted, “Guards. Take the impertinent servants out and beat thirty times of caning for each! So this can restore the true power of Prince Chennan!” After she said that, she smiled at the officials, “Your Excellencies, do you have any opinion?” She even showed them the fingerprints on her face.

“No, no. A country has its laws while a family has its rules. Rules shouldn’t be abandoned. Your highness is simply right. The Mansion of Prince Chennan needs rules,” said an old minister with folded hands to Nangong Lieye who looked livid.

“Guards, what are you waiting for? Do I have to do it myself? How dare the vulgar bully my daughter?” Hua Tieying thundered.

Trembling and shaking, all servants in the courtyard looked at Nangong Lieye, whose handsome face looked blue out of fury.

“Take them out. Do as Princess said!” Nangong Lieye pitilessly shouted. He watched her proud expression closely, almost out of rage.

“Your Highness, please not!” Immediately those concubines and maids started to cry out.

“Take them out!” Nangong Lieye ordered. He originally intended to make sure that all of his servants would laugh at Hua Yueling. Unexpectedly, he met his Waterloo. Even if he didn’t listen to her, she could also kill them for they offended the Prime Minister’s daughter...

With weirdness in his slanted eyes, the Fourth Prince Nangong Yixuan stared at Hua Lingyue who looked as cold as ice. Then he turned his attention unconsciously to Hua Tieying, who was gratified with the situation that his daughter finally had sobered herself up.

Soon after, endless screams came from the Sunrise Courtyard. Hearing that, Hua Lingyue took a deep breath and approached Nangong Lieye slowly. She said smilingly, “Your Highness, it seemed that we have fixed it. Now this is for you!” Hua Yueling took out a piece of paper and placed it before him.

Hua Tieying and the Forth Prince immediately stretched out their heads to have a look. The words “certificate of divorce” in capital letters on the paper surprised them a lot.

“Certificate of divorce?” Nangong Lieye stared at Hua Lingyu in disbelief, his voice hoarse as that of a choked duck.

“Yes, it is a certificate of divorce. Today, all people here can testify that I divorce you,” she said loudly.

On hearing that, everybody was startled. It was rare for a woman to divorce her husband. And breaking a marriage bestowed by the emperor had never been heard before.

“Hua Yueling! How dare you!” Nangong Lieye’s handsome face flushed at once out of rage, which led Hua Lingyue to believe that his blood vessels seemed to be exploding.

“Why can’t I? I was stupid before. Now, I have the chance to recognize you as a brute. Of course I want to divorce.” She stood up against him. She had never feared before ferociousness!

“Why? I have no faults!” Nangong Lieye clenched his fist and wanted to punch the arrogant woman to death.

“Haha! Why? I’ll tell you clearly. You, the honorable Third Prince, cannot satisfy me in bed. You don’t deserve to be a man! You promised me that if I had children, all of them would be surnamed Hua. But that seems to be a mission impossible. Now, considering the continuity of our Hua Family, I have to divorce you! Well, is it enough for you?” she grinned evilly. In fact, Nangong Lieye hated her so much that he said before their marriage that even if she had children, they would not be accepted into Nangong genealogy.

“Wow!” All people were shocked. Looking at Nangong Lieye in disbelief, they couldn’t believe such a great and robust prince could not please his wife since their wedding. It should be the largest tragedy in the world...

“Hua Yueling, what are you saying?!” He could not believe what he heard, and thought that she was crazy.

“I said you are not fantastic in bed. We cannot have a baby. So I divorce you.” She looked at his handsome face, saying word by word, “Father, you agree with me, right?” She walked towards her father and held on his arm with a smile.

“You are right. How can our Hua Family have no children! You must divorce him. If the Third Prince refuses, I will ask for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to do us justice!” Hua Tieying felt quite happy to see Nangong Lieye’s blue face out of rage. The resentment Hua Tieying had saved for a year could finally be vented.

“Hua Yueling, I dare you to say it again!” Nangong Lieye roared fiercely, his eyes sharp like the shining swords. If one’s eyes could kill a man, she probably would have been cut into bits.

“What, Your Highness? You do not follow me? I said I want a divorce! It seems impotency isn’t your only problem, is it? Father, take my dowry back. Don’t let the impotent take advantage of me!” said Hua Lingyue as she put her hands on her waists, overbearing. After that, she said to the shocked Ping’er behind her, “Pack up my belongings immediately!”

Ping’er turned around and said with great joy, “Yes, My Lady, it is great. Let’s go!”

“Don’t you dare leave here!” Nangong Lieye was so angry that he reached to grab Hua Yueling all of a sudden. This woman dared to slander and make fun of him. How could he, the noble Third Prince, bear it?

She had long expected him to be narrow-minded. Therefore, she grasped the golden hairpin firmly in her sleeve. As long as he dared to beat her, she would fight back.

“Third imperial brother!” Nangong Yixuan exclaimed in shock when he realized that his brother was about to beat Hua Lingyue. So did others present in the yard.

Although Hua Tieying was a military officer and was quick in action, Nangong Lieye was so close to his daughter that it was still too late. “Nangong Lieye, don’t you dare touch her!” he fumed.

Although Hua Lingyue did not learn the art of building up her inner power, she had the experience of dealing with her offenders. As weak she was, she seemed flexible and quick.

Unexpectedly, she moved her body fast and avoided his attack. Then she grabbed the hairpin and brutally stabbed Nangong Lieye’s left arm.

She spread a cold smile as her eyes displayed unconcealed killing intent. She brushed against him and pulled out her hairpin forcefully, which let him roar like an injured wild animal.

Holding back the pain, Nangong Lieye wanted to fight back but was stopped by Hua Tieying and the Fourth Prince.

“Your Highness, this is the so-called extremes meet. I loved you deeply, but you regarded me as a flirt. Today I just tell you that I am not someone you can bully at will! The former Hua Yueling is dead, and I will be irreconcilable with you in the future!” With that said, she turned elegantly as her plum blossom dress fluttered in the wind. She stood upright with her dancing long hair and such self-confidence that others could hardly believe what they saw.

Everyone was stunned and startled by what she did. She incredibly hurt Nangong Lieye.

However, everybody knew she was no longer a foolish lady like before.
