White Snow- Princess Li Bai Xue

Li Bai Xue was sewing while she taught Li Mei Tang to sew. Li Mei Tang grasped as she prick herself for the fifth time. "Lin Qian go get the first aid for me,"Li Bai Xue said. She walked over to Li Mei Tang, and look at her finger. "Meimei should stop now."

"I don't want to stop! I want to make a beautiful Peac.o.c.k for Empress Dowager,"Li Mei Tang said as she shook her head.

Li Bai Xue sigh,"Mei Tang, girls skin are to be smooth and beautiful. If you don't keep it beautiful then Feng Didi won't like you no more."

Li Mei Tang pout her lip,"Fine! Only because of Feng ge." Lin Qian return with a small wooden box.

"Good that you understand,"Li Bai Xue said as she apply the medicine,"why not go study work your Laoshi on these matters? You instead come to me."

Li Mei Tang said without thinking,"Laoshi Fu said that I am no good! She told me how could all my Jiejie be so good. Then she told me to go learn from Jiejie. Ling jie is too busy to teach me. Then Meng jie is not inside the palace. So I came to Xue jie to learn. Jiejie is also very good and have good skills. I just want to make a beautiful Peac.o.c.k for Empress Dowager. It is her favorite animal."

"Silly girl! If it like that then why not help Jiejie make NaiNai dress. Jiejie will teach you how to,"Li Bai Xue said.

"Dress!? En! I am willingly. Teach me,"Li Mei Tang said with a cute voice. Li Bai Xue giggle at this girl cuteness. "Jiejie what kind of dress are you gifting to Empress Dowager?"Li Bai Xue smiled and leaned in close to whisper to Li Mei Tang. Li Mei Tang eyes sparkle, but she pout again.

"No way! That is too hard. You should do the dress yourself. I am scared I might mess it up. Um... since I can't sew then I will just paint for NaiNai. NaiNai won't mind will she?"

Li Bai Xue smile at Li Mei Tang.

Four month later it was finally the Empress Dowager 60th birthday party. Many nobleman brought their main wife and daughters and sons along. Daughters to catch young nobleman eyes, and sons to compare to others and have their best match. Li Fu Ling wish for nothing bad to happen. She has been working on this for a whole year. She hope for this news to travel to Zhu Shan ears so his view of her would be better.

Li Fu Ling was wearing a light purple dress with dark purple sleeves, and on top was a light blue dress. Along with light blue muslin. Half of her hair was in a bun while the rest was down. The bun had two Jade buyao that match her blue dress.

"Gōngzhu are you not going to wear more jewelry?" ChongEr(personal slave) asked.

"No need. Su Lan give me only a tad,"Li Fu Ling said.

"Yes Gongzhu,"Su Lan(personal servant) said as she was doing Li Fu Ling makeup.

Afterwards Li Fu Ling arrive at the Banquet Hall. Li Bai Xue, Li Yun Meng and the three main parties have yet arrived. Not long afterwards Li Bai Xue arrive at the Banquet Hall. She had entranced everyone as she walk gracefully and elegance with a noble aura. She sat down two seats away from Li Fu Ling.

"Da Jiejie is so pretty. What is your secret?"Li Si Si(Qi Gōngzhu) asked politely. Her words mean no hard and only show others that she also wanted to be beautiful. That was only to others ears though.

"Meimei, Jiejie have no secret. Only a tad of sunshine and powder,"Li Bai Xue said. To other her voice sound so beautiful yet to the princesses it sound so poisonous.

"Sunshine? Is that why Da jiejie is late?"Li Xia Xian asked with a smile.

"Si Meimei, Bengong was visiting Nai Nai on the way here. I also by chance saw Er Meimei. She was talking with a man that I never seen before. Isn't Si Meimei and Liu Meimei here. So where is Er Meimei then?"Li Bai Xue asked.

Li Lan Xing couldn't stand her own sister being bad mouth so she shouted,"Of course that man was our cousin! It was Rong gege!" Then Li Lan Xing pointed at a young man on the second level. Li Xia Xian wanted to hit Li Lan Xing head. The young man felt awkward as all eyes were on him. "Jiejie went to visit them and they follow along to visit the Emperor! Jiejie would never do such things ever but even with her own cousin." Everyone was looking at Li Lan Xing.

'Such thing?' Such a young girl and she already know what it is! Not even their own daughter of the same age knew what it is yet! Unless someone taught her about this. At this point everyone was telling themselves to stay away from the known Er Gōngzhu and the only son of the Xian family.

Li Bai Xue smile remained,"Is that so? Cousin Xian hopefully didn't take what I had said to offend you."

Xian Rong laugh awkwardly,"Ha... ha... of course not. We have never met before so you wouldn't know who I was. No offense was taken." He was of course mad, but he was nothing while Li Bai Xue was a Gongzhu. How can he dare to get mad at her.

"That good news,"Li Bai Xue said with a smile. Only when things quiet down did Li Fu Ling heart calm down.

"Er Gōngzhu have arrived!" A lovely figure enter the Banquet Hall. She had a pretty face, but because of what happen they just peek at her from now to then. Of course Li Yun Meng notice this and was unsatisfied. She had made sure to be the last Princess to enter. Of course this way she would last in their image even longer. She did not know what had happened earlier. She then quickly walk to the seat between Li Bai Xue and Li Fu Ling.

"Er Meimei greet Da Jiejie. Er Jiejie greet San Meimei." Although her voice was pleasant to hear was not comparable to Li Bai Xue voice. Then she looked at Li Mei Tang nod her head as a short greeting. In her head no one other than her sisters and Muqin, no one else matters. She had only greeted these two because of their strong background.

Li Yun Meng knew that Li Mei Tang did not have the Empress favor. So she did not greet her at all even though she was a Di Ni daughter. Li Mei Tang did not know this so she simply smile at Li Yun Meng. Li Yun Meng wanted to laugh at such a naive girl.

To live in the Palace you have to be the best of everything and you have to survive. Li Fu Ling saw this and was angry. 'How you treated my Meimei like that?' Although she didn't want to cause trouble, but she cares a lot about her little sister.

"Er Jiejie! You are so late. If I didn't know I would have thought that you are doing something else,"Li Fu Ling said. The tension then rise up again in the Banquet Hall.
