After Concubine Yun and Ye Hongling left, Ye Qingyi began to study the dress. After a long time, she finally figured out what their plot was. She could not help sneering and said, "Do you really regard me as a fool? In that case, I'll reply in kind."
“Hua Yue.”
Hearing the voice of Ye Qingyi, Hua Yue immediately entered the room and asked, "May I help you?"
"Remember the design and material of this dress, and then go to the Tailor's Shop and ask the tailor to make an identical one. Before you go, bring me sewing kit, scissors and the same fabric."
Ye Qingyi put the dress on the table. Hua Yue carefully observed the dress and noted every detail of its design. She brought needles, thread, scissors and cloth for Ye Qingyi and went out to the tailor's shop. She didn't know what the Eldest Miss was going to do, but she seemed unhappy. Hua Yue guessed that Concubine Yun and the Second Miss would suffer again soon.
Ye Qingyi took the dress and soaked it in the water. She washed it several times with her special potion. After Yue Shuang and other maids dried the dress, she took the scissors to cut for a while, and then picked up the needle and thread to sew.
Ye Qingyi closed the door and no one was allowed in. Hua Yue had no idea what her miss was doing. She could only take Yue Shuang and other maids to the backyard for practicing Kung Fu.
After some while, Ye Qingyi finally completed the dress and was very satisfied with herself. As the design of this dress contained some Han Dynasty’s elements, it should have been a short dress. But she was afraid that Ye Hongling dared not to wear it, so she changed it into a long dress. Even so, it was still very nice.
Ye Qingyi looked at the dress she made with satisfaction, took out a small porcelain phialfrom her pocket, opened the phial and dotted over the dress twice. Then she put away the phial and looked at the dress. "Since you've done bad, don't blame me for fighting back."
Carefully, she put the dress in a delicate package and called Hua Yue.
"Hua Yue, bring this to Second Miss. Tell her that I'm glad to receive the dress she gave me, so I design a new one and asked someone to make for her as well. And tell that I hope she can kindly accept."
"Miss?" Hua Yue couldn't understand. It turned out that her dear miss was making dress after locking herself in the room for so long. AND this dress was for Second Miss! Really? She seemed to smell a rat.
"Don't worry. Go ahead."
"OK, I'll go right away."
Hua Yue walked to Ye Hongling's yard with the dress. Along the way, she wondered if her miss had a brain disorder. The Eldest Miss clearly told them yesterday that they must beware of Concubine Yun's overtures. Why did she begin to show her kindness today? No, she must have her own judgement and idea. Since she couldn't read miss's mind, she would just follow her orders.
In the Second Miss's yard, Hua Yue, under the guidance of a little maid, went to the Second Miss's room.
"Second Miss, the Eldest Miss sent me to give you this gift for her gratitude. The Eldest Miss said that she was glad to receive the dress you sent her. So she drew the design in a hurry and asked me to take it to the tailor's shop and make the dress for you as fast as possible. The Eldest Miss hopes that you can kindly accept."
"Oh? Xiao Cui, take it and let me have a look. " Ye Hongling looked at Hua Yue. She thought it was really unusual that Ye Qingyi would make dress for her.
Xiao Cui opened the package and showed the dress. Ye Hongling's eyes brightened. It was such an eye-catching and delicate dress - the cuffs were like lotus leaves, the chest part was decorated with two peonies and the belt part was with tassels - it was gorgeous!
Ye Hongling couldn't take her eyes off that dress - she had never seen a more beautiful one. Even the most famous shops in the capital had never designed such clothes. It seemed that Ye Qingyi, that little bitch, wanted to show her kindness. Unfortunately, she didn't expect that something was added into the dress she gave her.
"Ahem," Ye Hongling made a short cough, withdrew her eyes and said, "Go back and tell my sister that I'm very grateful. I'll visit her some other day."
“OK. I’ll leave if you’ll excuse.”
As soon as Hua Yue left, Ye Hongling took the dress and tried it on immediately. The dress was just right for her. Wearing it, she was even more charming.
Ye Hongling looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help chuckling. "I will wear this dress when Prince Xuan asks me out again some other day. Surely he’ll be completely obsessed with me."
Thinking of this, Ye Hongling was even happier. No one was more suitable than her for the title of Princess Xuan.
As soon as Hua Yue returned to Picturesque Pavilion, she told Ye Qingyi everything. Drinking tea, Ye Qingyi smiled and said, "Good. As long as she likes it.”
"I don't understand, miss."
Ye Qingyi looked at the confused Hua Yue and replied, "Hua Yue, you don't have to worry. When it’s time, we'll have a good show to enjoy. Tomorrow morning, go to the tailor's shop to see if the dress is ready. Without that dress, the show wouldn’t work."
Since Ye Qingyi didn't clearly explain, Hua Yue stopped asking. She had complete trust in the Eldest Miss, believing that there must be a well-thought-out plan. She might as well just wait for the show. It must be wonderful.
That night, Ye Qingyi slept soundly. She needed a good rest so as to enjoy the show next day. They shouldn’t blame her for her ruthlessness. After all, she just paid them back in their own coin - though paid a little more back for interest.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, when Hua Yue came back from the tailor's shop with the dress, she heard noise and shouts everywhere. She was curious. Then she heard several servant girls shouting, "Hurry up! Call the doctor! Second Miss has a plague!"
"Hurry up! Tell Madame and General that the Second Miss has a plague!"
The whole yard was in a mess. After a while, Concubine Yun's cry began, "What's the matter with you, Second Miss? My poor miss! "
Hua Yue dared not stay any longer. She hurried back to Picturesque Pavilion and told Ye Qingyi everything. After hearing her description, Ye Qingyi put on a glowing smile. "Well, that's the result of provoking me."
"Hua Yue, get ready. I'll go to visit my poor second sister, wearing this dress."
When Ye Qingyi arrived at Ye Hongling's yard, she saw that all the people in the yard, including servants and doctors, were quite busy. Ye Qingyi strolled in.
"What happened to my second sister? My poor second sister!"
