The Fourth Lady

When Su Qing looked to the cobra, her eyes reflected a happiness that others could not detect. It was as if coiled around her arm wasn't a cobra but just an ordinary accessory.

"I summoned you all here today in order to help me with one thing." Qingyan looked to them as her clear and hollow voice sounded. This voice seemed to be different from her usual voice, but as to where, it was difficult to say.

"What does miss need our help with?" The cobra looked to Qingyan, flicking its tongue. And all the snakes behind it all flicked their tongues too, as if they were responding to the cobra's message.

"Help me by concealing yourselves in everyone courtyard in this manor, alright?" Su Qingyan look to them still in a nonchalant manner, as if she was fully confident in controlling them.

As if receiving an order, all the snakes charged out. And in no time, only the cobra remained, still coiled around Qingyan's arm.

"How about you stay by my side from now on?" Qingyan glanced at the cobra on her arm and gently said, "Aside from the four girls in my yard, I don't trust anyone else. If all you little ones can keep me company, then even if its just to cheer me up, I would be very pleased."

"It's my honor to serve you." The cobra hissed with its long tongue, as if responding to her affections.

"Fengqing, thank his Highness Shizi for me. If he needs anything in the future, then I, Su Qingyan, will return the favor." Qingyan glanced at Fengqing before turning around to return to her room.

When the cobra followed Qingyan back to her room, it saw a fox on the window sill and a golden ringed snake next to it.

"From now on they will be your comrades. Also the python on the pillar outside will be your companion too.
