CHAPTER 27You Can’t Read? w.a.n.gfu
“You…… Why didn’t you tell me that earlier ah!?” Jing Yue really wanted to weep yet she had no tears; that was the son of the Emperor a! If she had known earlier that he was such a vengeful person, whatever she’d said, it wouldn’t be something that might provoked him.
“You also didn’t ask earlier.” Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes with an unperturbed appearance.
“Ke ke……” Jing Yue coughed; seriously looking at Xiao Chen, she asked: “Good or bad I am your Ninth Huang Fei, can’t you help me block such problems and disaster? The proverb says it well, ‘it takes a hundred years to bring two people to stay in a boat together, it takes a thousand years to bring two people to sleep on the same bed’*, it is also fate that we could meet ah!”
“You wish too much.” Xiao Chen opened his eyes, turned toward Jing Yue and said: “Inside the jungle you also have seen, Ben w.a.n.g own self is hard to protect; you just have to pray for a lot of luck.”
“d.a.m.n…… you can’t pit people like this ah!” in a flash, Jing Yue already jumped up, furiously glaring at Xiao Chen; she indescribably felt that she might be entering a wolf nest.
Wrong, she was in a wolf nest at first a.
A pooh! If she could choose, she would rather stay inside the forest for the rest of her life, how could there were so many rotten problems ah!?
“It’s already too late even if you want to regret.” Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, stood his body up and said: “We’ve arrived.”
“”A? Arrived where?” Jing Yue foolishly looked at Xiao Chen getting down from the carriage.
“Our home.” Xiao Chen stood outside the carriage and extended his hand toward Jing Yue. That gentle and soft appearance slightly stirred Jing Yue’s heart, it was home? Jing Yue avoided Xiao Chen’s hand and leaped down from the carriage. She was immediately stupefied by the building before her eyes.
“This is the Imperial Palace ah, great style!”
Hearing Jing Yue’s words; Xiao Chen, who was about to walk away, almost sprained his ankle; his whole face went black looking at Jing Yue, he asked: “You can’t read?”
“Can ah.” Jing Yue nodded her head.
“You see above you, what words are those?” with a dark face Xiao Chen pointed at the board above the tall door and spoke.
“Let me see a…… w.a.n.g…. Fu…. w.a.n.gfu!” Jing Yue suddenly shouted in alarm. Unbelievingly looking at the red-vermillion gate, the gold inscribed board as well as the imperial guards dressed in mighty armor standing in that huge gate; Jing Yue suddenly felt like she was about to faint.
Jing Yue’s complexion unexpectedly turned grave; moving closer to Xiao Chen’s side, she asked: “Xiao Chen, be honest and tell me; did you rob the country treasury and s.n.a.t.c.h much money to build this house?”
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded; he then looked at Jing Yue with a gaze that was used to look at an idiotic child, silently waved his hand toward Xing Yi and said: “Throw this woman into a pond, let her head clear a bit.”
“Wei wei wei! I’m not going to play with you guys!” Jing Yue suddenly jumped up, glaring at Xing Yi Xing Er these two persons. Until she saw the two persons didn’t make any movement, she finally loosened her breath. Gazing at this huge gate; thinking that in the future she would be the mistress here, her heart suddenly burst with joy a!
Man ah, still the rich one is good!
“Ninth Huang Fei, master told you to live inside Lotus Court.” Xing Er took Jing Yue toward a building among an exquisite courtyard; lotuses bloomed abundantly on the pond, making Jing Yue’s eyes widened. What she saw made her mouth drooled, a lot of lotuses, there were something to eat!
“This is the maid that’ll wait upon you.” Xing Yi stood inside the courtyard, pointing at a small girl kneeling on the ground and said: “Very few people inside the w.a.n.gfu have no fixed duties, master only picked one maid for Ninth Huang Fei, if Ninth Huang Fei felt it isn’t enough, you may pick from outside the residence.”
“Enough, enough……” Jing Yue kept nodding her head and answered.
“Huang Fei, your two wolves are already placed inside the Lotus Court.” Xing Er had said all the things he needed to say, his reporting manner was exactly like a machine, ice-cold without any warmth.
