Credits to whoever made the picture =)

Ever since Xian Concubine went to Jing Xiang Monastery, the empress’s really recovered from her sickness. Everyone in the palace also praises Xian Concubine for able to gain favour from the G.o.ds with her sincerity. Xian Concubine nearly vomited blood after hearing about that, she also wanted to get a “Xiao Ren” (paper shaped of people with date of birth of particular person you want to curse) of Ye Zhen Zhen to stab.

On the other hand, Ji Wu Jiu has never given up to look for cure towards Ye Zhen Zhen’s weird disease. But he has also decided to fix his current mindset; In the matters of bedroom business, the most knowledgeable about those matters are not the imperial doctors but should be…….

Yeah, so he went to Cui Fang Lou again.

Most probably it is still the festive period, most men also came out to find enjoyments, so Cui Fang Lou was bustling with business. So when there are many customers, it was unavoidable that you will meet someone you know, Ji Wu Jiu’s eye sight was very good, and manage to spot the local ministers, and before they can spot him he was already using a teapot to cover his face. He also knew, as an emperor to visit a brothel, it is not something he should be proud of.

Feng You De “……”

As the emperror’s personal eunuch, it can be said as where ever he is, that would also mean where Ji Wu Jiu would appear, so.. the emperor don’t really need to cover…….

The minister understood the meaning from Feng You De’s gaze, and immediately pardoned himself and hides into a room.

Ji Wu Jiu quickly made the madam open a room, and to call Hong Yun up. Hong Yun came up, and served Ji Wu Jiu a cup of tea, and smiled “Gentlemen Ji, you came again? Did you miss me?”

After getting teased often, Ji Wu Jiu just ignored it, and did not answer, took the tea and wanted to take a sip, but when he look into the cup, he saw there was a “position” drawing inside, very detailed. Ji Wu Jiu suddenly felt the tea was no longer appetizing and pushed it away.

Hong Yun immediately got someone to change the tea cup, smiled and asked “Gentlemen Ji, visiting me again, are there are more questions that you want to ask?”

Ji Wu Jiu was a little shy. Some words when spoken to the doctors, was easy to explain, but towards a woman, he did not know how to start. Even so, he still told her honestly and awaited her reply, full of hopes.

After listening to him, Hong Yun replied “I thought there was something big, so it was just this? Gentlemen Ji, you wife is not sick, she is just someone who likes to be clean”

“Explain”

“This, I am sorry to offend, but I must first ask, in your house, besides your wife, are there still other concubines?”

Ji Wu Jiu nodded

“How many are there?”

“Most probably… tens of them” He could not remember too well.

“!!!” Must not scold, must not scold, Hong Yun tried to calm herself down , this was her fortune G.o.d, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is her fortune G.o.d, must not scold!

Ji Wu Jiu noticed her expression was not too good, so he asked “that… how is it related to her?”

“Of course it is related!” Hong Yun stared at him. “Gentlemen, this is really my first time meeting someone like you, if to say you don’t understand the feelings of love, but at home you have so many concubines, how can one believe that you are a piece of wood in the matters of love, but then again to say that you are a playboy, you are so.. so.. let’s forget it” She closed her mouth, and picked up a cup of tea to drink.

Ji Wu Jiu understood that he got dissed, patiently he said “then, what is really happening now?”

“What else could it be? She simply dislikes the fact that you have too many woman, your body is not clean”

Ji Wu Jiu have never heard about that before, so he asked “How is that possible?”

“Let’s put it this way”, Hong Yun place her cup down, “I think you are someone that likes being clean… looking from another point of view, if a woman that has been with many men before, she wants to make love to you, what will you do?”

JI Wu Jiu pictures about the situation a little, if there were such a woman, naked and climbing on to his bed to do those stuff, what would he do?

…. X her out.. (most probably it means kick her a.s.s out here.. hahaha)

Therefore, he finally understood a little.

Looking at Ji Wu Jiu‘s expression of disgust, Hong Yun purposely held on to her chest and teased “Gentlemen, you really hurt my feelings, making me feel so ashamed!”

Ji Wu Jiu did not even reply her, but instead took out a stack of money, and placed it on the table. Hong Yun was very happy, took the money and counted them.

“I still have another query, why the other women also does not mind, only she is like this?”

Hong Yun who was looking at the money all along, answered “I also have a question for you, why so many men also come here to look for enjoyments, but when you come, you even refused to the drink the tea?”

JI Wu Jiu was speechless from her question.

“So, that is to say” keeping the money safely, “actually you and your wife is the same type of people”

“Then, what should I do?”

“Even if I tell you, I don’t think you would be able to do it”

“Speak”

“Very easy, dismiss all your small wives, and only dote on your wife, will you be able to do this?”

Ji Wu Jiu was made speechless again. About this, … he will not be able to do it.

“That is why, I will honestly say, I hope you don’t mind, Initially I thought that towards your wife, you are sincere, but seems like it is just so so.”

Her tone made Ji Wu Jiu feel very uncomfortable after hearing it, he stood up “Farewell”

“Goodbye Gentlemen” After Hong Yun lead him out, she closed the door and without giving any face she said “Men!”

JI Wu Jiu returned to the palace in deep thoughts. Ever since he found out the reason behind Ye Zhen Zhen’s weird disease, he felt that his heart is feeling a weird sourness, it does not seem like it was happiness but it definitely was not hatred as well. When he thought of how Ye Zhen Zhen does not like performing the bed business with him because he has too many women, or to say that Ye Zhen Zhen wishes that he will only have her alone, he felt a little surprised, but inside his heart he also felt a little sweet, it was like she was a pot of vinegar.

Towards Ye Zhen Zhen being like this, it was like she was naturally a pot of vinegar. Towards jealous woman, most men will not like them, but when Ye Zhen Zhen is like that, Ji Wu Jiu actually thinks that she is very cute.

Ji Wu Jiu was in a huge dilemma. If he wants to make love with Ye Zhen Zhen, he will need to give up the rest of the other women, he himself felt that this was not really possible. But if not that way, he will never be able to touch Ye Zhen Zhen, this made him felt even worst.

Thinking about it again, because of Ye Zhen Zhen, he has been a monk for quite some time already, and he is getting more comfortable with this situation, which made him feel more in dilemma.

Therefore that night, the emperor did not go to Kun Ning Palace, but stayed at Gan Qing Palace alone.

The next day was the 15th day of the lunar new year, the whole capital was filled with lanterns, full of people bustling around, and quite a lot of brave young ladies and gentlemen were walking next to each other on the streets, chatting and joking together. The sky was filled with fireworks.

Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen also came out of the palace to stroll around. Ye Zhen Zhen rarely comes out of the palace, and fell in love with almost everything she sees, things to eat, to play, were all drooped onto w.a.n.g You Cai and Feng You De, and she was still not satisfied. There were many people on the streets, shoulders brushing againsts one another, Ji Wu Jiu was afraid she will get lost in the crowd, so he has been holding her hands all along, he also did not want other men to touch her, so he place held her shoulders to him as well, almost pulling her into his chest.

On this day, there would definitely be the lantern riddle games. At the north side of the capital, there was a stage for lantern riddle games, it was organized by a rich merchant from the capital, he was very generous and the winning prizes made many people drool. The level of the riddles are separated into 4 from easy to hard, for the hard levels, you would need to place a wager, and if you got it the prize would be very satisfying, for the lower levels, you would not be required to place any wager, but of course the gifts are not as nice as the hard level. The emperor and empress was standing in front of the stage, guessing the lantern riddles, but who knew that they would almost win away everything that the store has, making the merchant’s face paled, thinking that he would be in a huge loss this rime. To be honest, what items has Ye Zhen Zhen never seen before, she didn’t really want those gifts anyway, so she only chose a few nicer ones and returned the rest. So even after winning away their items, the merchant still need to thank them a lot.

Ji Wu Jiu only took a pair of fish jades, the first is actually linked to one another, but it can be separated, there is a red string at the fish’s mouth to be placed on the waist as an ornament. Ji Wu Jiu separated the two fishes, placed one on himself and another he gave to Ye Zhen Zhen, but afraid that she will not wear it, so he personally tied the fish on to her waist. He accidently touched her sensitive part of her waist that made Ye Zhen Zhen laughed out loud. Su Yue, w.a.n.g You Cai and Feng You De who was standing beside them, had the same thought in mind: This is a public place!

They strolled till the river side, here there were people releasing the Kong Ming Lantern. Su Yue bought a lot, Ye Zhen Zhen and Ji Wu Jiu were releasing them by the river side together. The Kong Ming Lantern is made with a layer of thin red paper, it is not in a shape of the normal lanterns, but it is a big headed round shape, after lighting the fire inside, the whole lantern will admit a bright orange light, looking almost like a giant orange. Holding on to the lantern by the river side, Ye Zhen Zhen released it and looked at it slowly going up the sky, thinking that it looks like a firework that will never vanish.

Ye Zhen Zhen subconsciously waved her hands at it.

Ji Wu Jiu was holding the Kong Ming Lantern, but his eyes were at Ye Zhen Zhen. She was looking up now, her snow white face was lit with a warm orange light, her side profile very gentle, her lips opened half, her eyes bright like no other, without blinking looking at the lantern that was going further and further, her expression was in an innocent daze although her gaze does not appear so.

Ji Wu Jiu’s heart suddenly shook, it seems like the whole world has left him like the retreating water tides, as for her, red as fire, bright as light, gentle as mist, making him feel a numerous feelings in his heart at the same time.

Ji Wu Jiu subconsciously holds on to his chest, and looked at Ye Zhen Zhen like a fool.

Ye Zhen Zhen turned and saw his expression, although in a daze his eyes were extra ordinarily bright, so she smiled at him “You are not playing?”

Ji Wu Jiu threw away the lantern in his hands, walked towards her and held both of her hands in his.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Zhen Zhen looked at him.

Ji Wu Jiu did not answer. He looked down, and his lips were already gently placed onto her forehead, both of his eyes closed, with his long eyelashes vibrating softly.

The lantern on the floor rolled a few times, and struggled to fly up at the end, pa.s.sing by the both of their faces, and flew up to the sky.

The night sky was suddenly filled with thousands of fireworks, with all sorts of colours, almost lighting up half the sky.
