Chapter 106
On the third day of Xia Yuqing returning to Xiefang palace hall and also the second day she awoke, all kinds of people, from the empress dowager to the civil and military officials, people who she knew and didn’t know, all swarmed into Xia Yuqing’s palace . They had all rushed to the entrance of the doors to congratulate the return of Consort Qing .
In order to maintain her dignified composure and her usual approachable, beautiful image, Xia Yuqing had a smile all day long . In the end, she succeeded in stiffening the smile on her face with her whole face twitching .
Why didn’t she know that she was so loved? Once something happened, everyone had actually rushed over to fawn over herself! After all, there are few people in the world who would send charcoal in the snow* . There were many more who would add flowers on brocades*!
* provide help in ones hour of need
* decorate/help something that is already perfect
In the crowd of people flowing into Xiefang palace hall, compared to Xia Yuqing who smiled stiffly, there was another person who was full of fire . That was Xia Yuqing’s family beast — the Ye Kingdom’s most honorable emperor, Feng Tingye .
With great difficulty, he had finally brought Ai Fei back . It should have been a family reunion, them enjoying their romantic couple’s world… . no, in their three person world! But, these blind people came swarming forward one by one, they must be… . . too idle !
Therefore, during the morning of the next day, those complacent officials who thought they had curried favour with Xia Yuqing found that not only were they not promoted, but they had actually downgraded a few levels . In fact… there were a lot more messy things to deal with . So, don’t underestimate a man’s jealousy, especially those who are dissatisfied ==
Xia Yuqing knew nothing about these methods secretly used by Feng Tingye . Of course she didn’t need to know, she was too busy at the moment dealing with the uninvited guests in her palace hall . Furthermore, she had no energy to know .
Although Feng Tingye was the emperor, who could stop the civil and military officials, he couldn’t stop the people outside the court . The person standing in front of Xia Yuqing at this moment was that special case .
“Cough, why are you here, Senior brother?”
“Of course I came here to see if my junior sister is doing well in the palace . Why, junior sister, do you not welcome me?”
To see if I’m pa.s.sing the time in the palace well? If you want to see how well I live in the palace, shouldn’t you be looking at me? Why are your eyes always glancing at someone behind me? Do you think I’m blind! This sister’s eyes are brighter than a pearl in a bedroom at night, okay!
“…of course not . If Senior brother came to the palace to visit Junior sister, junior sister couldn’t be more delighted . How can I not welcome it? It’s just that senior brother you came to see me, so those eyes should be staring at me, it shouldn’t be looking around seeing things that shouldn’t be seen . ” Xia Yuqing moved to the side with a disgusted glance and blocked the glance of someone looking behind her . She flashed a big white tooth grin at him .
Su Wuduan raised his eyebrows and stepped forward holding Xia Yuqing’s shoulders on both sides . He spoke with a smile: “Junior sister, you don’t understand . To understand if someone is living a good life, if they are merry and comfortable, it’s not just judged from one’s appearance, but should…”
Xia Yuqing just felt a light touch and she was moved to the side by Su Wuduan at the next moment .
When Xia Yuqing looked at him in horror, someone innocently finished his sentence: “But you should look at the people around them and the items around . ”
“…” Senior brother, I know I’m not as educated, but don’t lie to me . Can’t you directly tell me why you came to my house? Why do you have to take such a big curve around the topic, can’t you just play honestly and happily? !
When Feng Tingye solved the unsightly unwanted third guests, he returned to the Xiefang palace hall . When he saw the scene before him, his smiling eyes cooled down . He quickly stepped forward smoothly and smacked away the pervert’s hand that was on his beloved Ai Fei’s shoulder . He smiled and said: “How come Su Gongzi is here? Doesn’t Xu Lao need your help?”
Hearing the hidden warnings in Feng Tingye’s words, Su Wuduan squinted his eyes . He lazily fixed the hair that was blown out of place and frivolously said: “Thank you Your Majesty for being concerned, but father is now in seclusion to study the art of mechanisms . n.o.body is allowed to see him . Me staying there will only disturb his environment . It would be better for me to come out and look for my Junior sister who I have only met a few times, but is very close with . ”
Xu Lao is in seclusion? No wonder she hasn’t seen his shadow since she has come back . Speaking about this, in Master’s heart, was this little apprentice not as important as mechanical skills? This really made her feel bitter!
Xia Yuqing silently plunged into Feng Tingye’s arms for comfort, but after a while, Xia Yuqing felt something was wrong . Why did she feel a bit chilly?
Looking up, she saw that the two silent men crackled and were engaged in a battle with their eyes . Xia Yuqing was reduced to being the sacrificial victim between them .
Xia Yuqing turned around and glanced at Su Wuduan who was covered in hormones . Thinking of his ambiguous words just now, she thought it was necessary to explain .
“Cough, Senior brother . ” Xia Yuqing’s sound immediately attracted the two’s attention . Taking on her complacent senior brother’s gaze and the Ultra Seme Lord’s irritated gaze, Xia Yuqing deeply felt the pressure: “Senior brother, a rabbit doesn’t eat the gra.s.s by its own burrow* . ”
* one shouldn’t do anything to harm one’s neighbours
The smile on Su Wuduan’s face froze stiffly and the aura emitted from his body showed a momentary twist: “Junior Sister, you…”
“Senior brother, you and I are impossible . I already have his Majesty . ” Xia Yuqing had on an expression that said “I understand everything you want to say, no need to explain, it is impossible for me and you to have a future” .
Su Wuduan’s mouth twitched . He took back his evildoer appearance and rolled his eyes: “I would have to be blind to take interest in you . ”
“…” Xia Yuqing was stunned . When she finally reacted, she was shocked and pointed at Su Wuduan’s back and asked, “Your Majesty, senior brother… what does that mean?”
Feng Tingye gave Su Wuduan a glance and hugged his pet: “He means that Ai Fei is a peerless talent that is unmatched in this generation . Your radiance is excessively bright, so he can only watch from afar . It is something someone of his standards can’t even think about, so he has to seek refuge with others as last resort . ”
“…” Su Wuduan who was walking towards Cui Er . His lips twitched . He looked at the man who comforted Xia Yuqing in his arms, shocked .
After lying in a big trough, there was actually a man in this world who can reverse right and wrong better than himself . His blunt sentence could be twisted into this way by him? It really was true that there is always a taller mountain out there! His junior sister’s husband absolutely did not have an ordinary temperament! It’s better to stay away from now on! This couple is really annoying!
After Su Wuduan made up his mind, he threw the couple to the back of his mind and ran off to find his future wife .
Xia Yuqing’s broken gla.s.s heart was successfully mended by Feng Tingye . She looked at the cheap smile not far away fawning over her Ya Tou and frowned: “Is it possible that they succeeded by a lucky stroke and was manipulated by the teacher’s wife? Your Majesty, do you think senior brother will succeed?”
Feng Tingye looked at the curiosity in Xia Yuqing’s eyes . He didn’t answer and only looked at the Ya Tou who was retreating while acting indifferent . He couldn’t help thinking back to the night when they finally brought Xia Yuqing back to the palace .
That night, he, Shao Zitong and the others gathered in the study room to interrogate a Ya Tou . Yet that Ya Tou under the pressure of the several Da Ren did not flinch in the slightest . She didn’t bend or cower, instead she stood tall the entire time .
“Nu Bi said that after the emperor safely rescues Niang Niang, His Majesty can handle Nu Bi in any way . ”
“You have nothing to say?”
“Nu Bi has nothing to say . ”
Feng Tingye glanced down at the unbending women who knelt on the ground . He sneered, “You must think Zhen won’t kill you because of Ai Fei . Unfortunately, I will never leave any potential risks remaining around Ai Fei . ”
Cui Er’s face did not change . She bowed her head and said: “Whether your majesty believes it or not, Nu Bi will not do anything to harm Niang Niang, nor will Nu Bi give other people the opportunity to hurt Niang Niang . Nu Bi never thought that His Majesty would easily forgive Nu Bi . Nu Bi was just betting, betting that his majesty won’t just take human lives like it was ripping out weeds, betting on his majesty’s relations.h.i.+p with Niang Niang that he would not want Niang Niang to be sad . ”
Feng Tingye’s face became heavy . His heart was fierce, but he had to admit that Cui Er’s thoughts were meticulous and stepped on his achilles heel .
Several people saw Feng Tingye’s face become gloomy . Without a word, they looked at each other, then stepped forward to help: “We don’t even know who you are, how do we know if what you said is true or not? Rather than risking Niang Niang being hurt, it’s better to let Niang Niang feel sad for a while . After a long time, Niang Niang will naturally forget about your existence and your position will be replaced by others . ”
Cui Er was startled . She knew that if she didn’t tell the truth today, these people would never let her go . Fortunately… fortunately, she had expected such a moment .
“Nu Bi isn’t someone’s person or being controlled, Nu Bi…” Cui Er looked up, seemingly had made a decision . She stated: “Nu Bi is a member of the Tokharians . ”
“Tokharians?!” After this remark, several people in the room all changed their faces .
The Tokharians were a very special existence, not only in Ye country but in the other three countries as well . They did not solely belong to any country, but existed in each country . No one knew where they lived and no one knew how many people they had .
It was rumored that the Tokharians were the people closest to G.o.d . They were the spokespersons of G.o.d in the human world and helped convey the will of G.o.d . They were like priests, but they had n.o.ble blood and abilities that priests cannot match . Every royal family very much hoped to obtain the help from the Tokharians . With their a.s.sistance, they would be successful in every endeavour and truly be overlords of their territory .
However, everything has a price . The Tokharians can take a glimpse into fate, but they cannot use it to change the fate of the world . Otherwise, they would suffer the disaster of extinction . Therefore, the Tokharians had always been travelling on the edge of the Five Kingdoms and would never directly get involved .
Of course, since ancient times, power has always been tempting . Naturally, among the monarchs of the past, there was no shortage of people trying to force the Tokharians to use their power to serve them . However, the result of this was often the country’s destruction .
History tells people with reality that the Tokharians are sheltered by G.o.d and those who harbor evil thoughts for them will be punished .
It is precisely because of this and their special status that their existence disappeared little by little in the years to come .
In the eyes of Feng Tingye and the others, the Tokharians have always been just a legend . Now that this legend had appeared in front of them without warning, how can they not be surprised?
“What evidence do you have?” Feng Tingye was the first to recover from the surprise . He squinted and looked at Cui Er kneeling on the ground, as if trying to confirm whether what she said was true or false .
“From the birth of the Tokharians, the marks of the Tokharian clan will be tattooed on one’s arm . ” Cui Er paused, then she reached up to lift the sleeve of her right arm .
In an instant, a moon pattern surrounded by a b.l.o.o.d.y flame caught everyone’s eyes . After that, the eyes of everyone gathered on Feng Tingye . Among the people present, only Feng Tingye had seen the marks of the Tokharians .
Feng Tingye did not respond to the suspicions of the people and only stared closely at Cui Er and asked, “Ai Fei… is also a member of the Tokharians?”
This sentence was tantamount to admitting the ident.i.ty of Cui Er . The faces on the side became slightly changed .
Cui Er was stunned, apparently she did not expect that Feng Tingye wanted to ask this . She was silent for a moment, then she shook her head .
Feng Tingye breathed a sigh of relief, twisting his eyebrows and saying: “Since Ai Fei is not a member of the Tokharians, what is the reason for you lurking around her?”
Cui Er took a deep breath and restored her initial neither servile nor overbearing att.i.tude: “Your Majesty, this point, please forgive Nu Bi for being unable to answer this . Nu Bi can only tell Your Majesty that Nu Bi is here to protect Niang Niang . For the safety of Niang Niang, Nu Bi can sacrifice her life . For the rest, forgive Nu Bi for being unable to speak more . ”
When this remark came out, everyone was silent . The mouth of the Tokharians was the most reliable . If they didn’t want to say something, there was no way for anyone to draw half of a word from their mouths .
Although Feng Tingye was a bit worried, it was clear that the person in front of him would never hurt Xia Yuqing . In addition, the only reason Xia Yuqing could be rescued so quickly was because of Cui Er’s big contribution . Feng Tingye did not plan to do anything or investigate what she concealed, acquiescing her to stay by Xia Yuqing .
Cui Er got up under the watch of several people, but when she was leaving the imperial study, she left Feng Tingye with a few words: “Your Majesty, Niang Niang might be simple in mind, but she knows the clear difference between what she likes and hates . Nu Bi hopes that no matter what will happen in the future, Your Majesty will not let go of Niang Niang’s hand and will not doubt her . In this world, Your Majesty is the only person she can really rely on . ”
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…” Xia Yuqing’s soft call pulled Feng Tingye back from his thoughts . As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xia Yuqing looking at him with a worried expression, “What is Your Majesty thinking about . Chen Qie called you several times, but there was no response at all . ”
“It was Zhen’s fault . What did Ai Fei ask just now?”
“Does Your Majesty feel that senior brother will successfully get the beauty?” Xia Yuqing repeated her question .
Feng Tingye smiled and replied, “Well, this is really hard to say . ”
Feng Tingye was gloating as he looked at Su Wuduan who was all smiles to Cui Er who looked at him with contempt . Tokharian women were the most introverted and reserved . If Su Wuduan continues to underestimate Cui Er, he will soon fall into a hole, head first . However… what has it got to do with him? Originally, he could have offered him some pointers but who told him to provoke his Ai Fei . So, he’ll just act as if he knew nothing .
Xia Yuqing looked at Feng Tingye’s looming smile, and couldn’t help but feel a little bad . It seemed that senior brother’s road will be rough and difficult .
Forget it, we’ll just let them toss around and do their own thing . Originally based on their relations.h.i.+p, she would have said some good words in front of Cui Er, but who told him to turn his back on her?
Don’t think this sister can be deceived like that . This sister was born br.i.m.m.i.n.g with talent and excellent qualities . How dare you say only someone who was blind would be interested in me . Are you mocking Ultra Seme Lord, that only because he was blind was the reason why he married me?╭ (╯^╰) ╮ Your uncle can endure, but your aunt can’t endure! In the future, I must say some bad words about him in front of Cui Er, so that Cui Er must not blindly fall for this flowery radis.h.!.+
So it’s true that a certain husband and wife shouldn’t be messed with . Someone knew that a certain husband and wife was really strong, but they still didn’t care and ran straight to gunpoint . Making his life difficult, wasn’t that expected? Look far away~
“By the way, Your Majesty, what happened to Jiang Zhaoren’s and that Ji Gongzi?” After Xia Yuqing made up her mind, she took back her gaze from those two and asked curiously .
Hearing Xia Yuqing ask about those two, Feng Tingye’s eyes gleamed coldly . His face slightly sank: “Theres nothing to be feared about for those, except their escape efforts were more powerful than anyone else . ”
“Hmm, she got away again . ” Xia Yuqing was obviously disappointed . If it was said that a cat had nine lives, then this Jiang Feizao who was able to escape danger every time, won’t she be a cat demon!?
Upon seeing this, Feng Tingye hugged Xia Yuqing’s waist and touched the obviously protruding belly and said with a smile: “Ai Fei does not have to worry . Daring to have bad intentions against Ai Fei and our child, this account, Zhen will bear it in mind . Although it is not a good time to start a war with the Shu Kingdom, it is still possible to charge some interest first . ”
“…” Xia Yuqing was shocked . Keeping count? Collecting interest? So the Ultra Seme Lord’s two-facedness is traceable .
Ultra Seme Lord, make sure you discuss this properly . Please don’t deal with country matters using Chen Qie as an excuse . Chen Qie is a weak woman, Chen Qie can’t afford it . Please let me go!
Although Xia Yuqing was curious, she would not ask about it . As she came from the future, she knew better than anyone else, the more she knew, the faster she would die . So if someone doesn’t take the initiative to mention something, it must be something she doesn’t need to know, so why should she bother .
Feeling Xia Yuqing snuggle up against his waist, Feng Tingye’s lips formed a soft smile .
The country of Shu was surrounded by mountains and basins on all sides . The range upon range of mountains were steep and vast .
The terrain of the Shu State was complicated, thus easy to defend but difficult to attack . But it was precisely because of this feature, it had created a major defect of the Shu State . That is, food shortage .
Basins were not suitable for planting grain, so most of the food of the Shu people were obtained through exchanging their specialty products with the neighboring Xia country . This time, the Shu country abducted not only the future queen of Ye country, but also the little princess of Xia country . Even though the little princess was not favored in Xia Kingdom, the princess was still a princess and represented a part of Xia country no matter where she was . Shu’s move not only provoked Ye country, but it was also a slap to Xia country’s face .
As soon as Xia Yuqing was safe and sound, Feng Tingye had written a letter to inform Xia Mingyuan, who was far away in Xia country . As his wife’s older brother, he requested him to speak to his father for his brother in law to cut off Shu Country’s access to food . Feng Tingye did not think about how long to stop their access for . After all, he was also an emperor . He naturally understood that benefits were above all else . He just wanted to teach the Shu country a lesson and extinguish their arrogance .
He just didn’t know that the Xia Emperor was already angry with Shu Kingdom for the rejection of the marriage with their fourth prince . Now that he was fueled by Xia Mingyuan fanning the fire, he immediately ordered the cut off to grain to the Shu Kingdom .
One month of grain was not a big problem for the Shu Kingdom, but it will make them be in terrible shape for a while . In addition, Feng Tingye also heard that the only heir of the Shu Kingdom had left the palace recently . This time the King of Shu country was in great trouble . With the King of Shu in a bad mood, the future of Ji Miaoyan and Jiang Zhaorou would not be better .
Getting others to do his dirty work was something Feng Tingye was familiar and skilled with . But, he was not prepared to let Xia Yuqing know .
It was good enough for her to stay in his arms, carefree and happy spending everyday in happiness . He will always be behind her, supporting up the sky .
In Xiefang palace hall, the frantic maids stared at the couple that were wrapped in each other’s embrace acting as though there were n.o.body else present . They suddenly felt joy and sadness .
They were rejoicing in the emperor’s affection for their master and felt sad about… why are they showing so much pda? Could you please reenact this sweet scene back in your bedroom when there are only you two in the room? Don’t you know there are a bunch of lonely, unmarried people here? Ugh, our eyes will be blinded soom!
Lu Rui looked at her loving masters and Cui Er, who was entangled with master’s senior brother with a b.l.o.o.d.y look . G.o.d, don’t you know that there are many things to do in the palace? Even at this time, there is still chaos and the only little girl, Xiao Yuan, who can help, has ran off somewhere . There’s literally no one who could give her a peace-of-mind . At this rate, she will really age prematurely and drop being their happy sister altogether!
Lu Rui’s words were really wronging for Li Yuan . She didn’t go out to play, she was getting reinforcements .
Since getting the consent of Zhang Suns.h.i.+, Xia Yuqing thought about bringing Yun Xi closer to the palace . Since this was the case, she told Li Yuan to bring Yun Xi to the palace .
Perhaps because Xia Yuqing often socialized with others and Ai Wu Ji Wu* or maybe Yun Xi was good at communicating with people, but after meeting for the first time and chatting a few words, the two quickly bonded . They were unlike strangers who had only recently met . Instead, they were more like sisters who had known each other for many years .
* when love extends to things connected with it; example liking a house and end up also liking the crow that lives on the roof
“I won’t say much about the matters in the palace . You just have to remember to talk less and do more . Small mistakes can be made, but they shouldn’t be too excessive . Qing Jiejie has always been very tolerant towards us, but one should never take Qing Jiejie’s tolerance to do something to let down Qing Jiejie . ” Li Yuan warned Yun Xi repeatedly while walking .
Yun Xi nodded cleverly: “En, I understand . ”
Li Yuan smiled back and touched her chin, as if remembering something, continued: “There is one more thing . You have to always remember, once you see that the emperor is within three feet of Niang Niang, no matter what you are doing at that time, you must evacuate immediately . Do you understand?”
“Hm, why?” Is it possible that this emperor of the Ye Kingdom was extremely dangerous and would eat people? But the last time she saw him, she thought he was quite…human!
Li Yuan didn’t answer, she just reached out and patted Yun Xi’s shoulder and whispered: “Just listen to Jiejie’s advice and you won’t go wrong . You can do it . ”
Jiejie is just thinking for your beautiful watery eyes . You must know when Qing Jiejie and the emperor collide together, there will be high-energy warnings in front of you . It is inevitable for people to become blind!
“…En . ”
The two were chatting when a few lovely maidens appeared in front of them . When they saw Li Yuan, they all brightened up: “Sister Li Yuan, this is…”
“En, this one just entered the palace and will be serving Niang Niang with us, Yun Xi Meimei* . ”
* little sister
“Jiejies’, nice to meet you . ” Yun Xi raised her head and displayed her invincible smile and immediately captured the hearts of the several ladies .
“This sister was born as if she was carved out of jade, really cute . ” The maidens saw her and all their eyes lit up, one by one . They could not wait to go to someone’s round face and give it a pinch .
Li Yuan coughed a little and finally understood why her and Yun Xi had such a close relations.h.i.+p when they first met . This was because they both were pitifully born with the same problem, both having a loli face . But compared to Yun Xi, she was still a lot more mature . At least when looking at her own face, she would not want to rush up and pinch it like looking at Yun Xi’s .
In order to save Yun Xi from the devil’s claws, Li Yuan took the initiative to change the topic and said: “Oh, how do Jiejies feel about the face powders from last time?”
“Oh, that…” For these women, makeup and jewelry were always the most important subject . When Li Yuan brought it up, everyone’s attention was turned away from Yun Xi .
Yun Xi was relieved . Sure enough, if there is a master like that, then the servant would be like that . The eyes of these palace ladies and Qing Jiejie looking at herself were indeed very similar . They were so abnormal, too scary!
Not waiting for Yun Xi to rejoice, a small dog bark was suddenly heard from afar, making her stiffen .
Dog… dog barking? How can there be dogs in the palace? Yun Xi was bitten by a dog once when she was a kid and she cried until she was out of breath . In the future, when she saw dogs, she would become scared, thus she was sensitive to the barking of dogs .
Looking back stiffly, she saw a round little white dog pounce on herself like a small cannonball . Before thinking about it, Yun Xi turned around and ran away .
“Oh, mother, help!”
Hearing Yun Xi’s cry, the few maidens in conversation came back . Li Yuan watched Yun Xi chased by Xiao Bai and took a while to react . Then, she followed hurriedly .
That’s right, that little white dog, during the abduction of Xia Yuqing, using the power of all the imperial doctors, had recovered . The poor gang of superb medical doctors did not have any martial skills and was tormented by the small white dog until they only had half their life left . They all nearly became veterinarians, how sad .
Xiao Bai was brought out by Xia Yuqing early this morning to bask in the sun and was found by Cui Er later on . Cui Er was very calm and thought that because Xiao Bai was too fat and would press against the little prince, she carried him off from her master .
If he was carried down, that was fine . Anyway, Cui Er Jiejie was also a beauty . This master liked beauties the most! Xiao Bai went into Cui Er’s gentle embrace in a drunken stupor .
But the good times didn’t last long . It didn’t take long for the master’s senior brother to appear!
As soon as the man appeared, the white hair on Xiao Bai’s body was erected all at once . Wuu, this man was not a good bird at first glance . Seeing the way he stared at Cui Er Jiejie, it was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat . This master must vow to defend his territory .
It’s just that a certain Xiao Bai obviously overestimated himself . Su Wuduan squinted dangerously when he saw Xiao Bai nested in Cui Er’s arms as he entered the door . Using the excuse, “it’s not easy to do things while holding him”, Xiao Bai was taken off of Cui Er’s hands . Then he naturally threw Xiao Bai out the window, patting the dog fur off his hands and annihilating the evidence .
Poor Xiao Bai was so cruelly thrown out of the window . He desperately wanted to run back to the room, but coincidentally met He Wenzhong who heard the news . The honest and stupid big man saw the cute Xiao Bai that was even more fluffy than before and his eyes lit up . He stretched out his hand to try to hug him, but was avoided by Xiao Bai who jumped on his shoulder . Then with a swish, slipped away behind him .
“Don’t run, Xiao Bai!” Xiao Bai rushed out quickly with his short legs . He Wenzhong chased anxiously behind, shouting while chasing .
Xiao Bai raised its head and dismissed him . This master didn’t like men . This master liked delicate beauties, just like its owner and the maids in master’s palace . It didn’t like tall huge men . Leave quickly!
In such a chase, one person and one dog rushed to the palace road in front . Xiao Bai saw Li Yuan from a distance and his eyes lit up . That sister… that sister looks like rice ball Jiejie . Among Xia Yuqing’s maids, Xiao Bai’s favorite was Li Yuan . Seeing Li Yuan was like seeing a loved one . So he rushed over .
“w.a.n.g w.a.n.g w.a.n.g*…” Rice ball Jiejie, there is a bear chasing me, waahh…
* dog barks
Yet when Xiao Bai got closer, it found that there was another Jiejie standing next to his favorite rice ball Jiejie . This sister…was like a freshly steamed…xiao long bao*!
* soup dumpling
Between rice ball and Xiao long bao, Xiao Bai decisively gave up the rice ball and chose the Xiao long bao . s...o...b..ring, he rushed towards Yun Xi, thus the first scene occurred .
Seeing Xiao Long Bao Jiejie run away, the eyes of Xiao Bai became brighter . Chasing like a small rocket: “w.a.n.g w.a.n.g w.a.n.g…” Xiao Long Bao Jiejie, don’t run, don’t run…
Yun Xi was chased by the unrelenting Xiao Bai down the road . She rushed to a large tree and climbed up . On top of the tree, she stared at Xiao Bai wandering underneath the tree with a small face: “Don’t come, don’t come… ”
“w.a.n.g w.a.n.g w.a.n.g…” Xiao long bao Jiejie come down quickly and play with Xiao Bai…
“Woo woo… Help, help…”
Inside the lonely yard, a cute and lovely little girl hugged the tree trunk tightly . With two watery eyes, she cried for help, while a snow-white puppy under the tree kept spinning around .
When Li Yuan and the others arrived, they saw such a scene . After a daze, Li Yuan walked forward .
When Yun Xi saw Li Yuan, she hurriedly shouted, ” Li Yuan Jiejie, take this dog away!”
Li Yuan was frightened by Yun Xi’s scream and glanced at Yun Xi’s tearful eyes . Knowing that she was really afraid of the dog, she hugged Xiao Bai hurriedly and walked to the side . Xiao Bai struggled twice, then obediently nestled into Li Yuan’s arms and grievously called twice: “w.a.n.g w.a.n.gw.a.n.g… …” This master just wanted to play with Xiao long bao Jiejie . But Xiao long bao Jiejie didn’t seem to like me, woooo ~
“Xiao Xi, it’s okay . I’m holding it now, come down quickly . ” Li Yuan anxiously looked at Yun Xi squeezing the trunk .
Yun Xi was relieved to see Xiao Bai being taken away . After hearing Li Yuan’s words, she wanted to come down from the tree, but after looking down, she froze .
“Yun Xi…”
“Woo woo… Li Yuan Jiejie, my… my legs have gone soft . I can’t go down . ”
“…”
Yun Xi didn’t know how she climbed so high . At that time, she was just thinking about escaping the dog’s claws and instinctively climbed up . How could she know that she climbed so high? Now what should she do? !
Just when the girls were getting frantic, they suddenly heard a deep and honest voice: “You…you jump down, I…I’ll catch you . ”
The girls looked behind suddenly . Li Yuan surprisedly looked at He Wenzhong who appeared beside them . She glanced at Xiao bai in her arms and seemed to understand why Xiao bai appeared outside of Xiefang palace hall .
But now was not the time to discuss this . Li Yuan stepped forward and said: “Xiao Xi, jump down . General He will catch you, don’t be afraid . ”
“Woo woo… I don’t dare . ” Yun Xi’s small face wrinkled together . If she falls from such a high place and wasn’t caught, she would turn into a meat cake . She doesn’t want to die in such a humiliating way . Waaaahhh… .
Hearing Yun Xi’s cry, Xiao Bai who was originally lying in Li Yuan’s arms suddenly stuck his head out and greeted Yun Xi happily: “w.a.n.g w.a.n.g w.a.n.g…”
Yun Xi was startled again by the sound of the dog barking . With the shaking of her hands, the hands holding the trunk slackened and she fell directly from the tree .
“Ah…” This was Yun Xi who screamed instinctively .
“Ah…” This was the bunch of sisters looking from below .
“w.a.n.g…” This was Xiao Bai who was frightened by the screaming .
“Thump…” The expected pain did not appear . Yun Xi just felt like she was on a soft cus.h.i.+on . It was actually not right to say that it was a soft cus.h.i.+on . Um, this cus.h.i.+on seemed a bit…hard .
“I… I… are you okay . ” An anxious and overwhelmed voice came from the top of her head making Yun Xi feel a little lost . She stared up at the sound source and she saw a smile from a certain someone who appeared honest and goofy .
Yun Xi blushed a little . For some reason, she felt that her heart was going out of control, throbbing and thumping quickly .
He Wenzhong was also stunned . He had just wanted to look down to see if the person in his arms was injured, but he didn’t expect that when Yun Xi looked down, she looked like a small animal that was whimpering . After she raised her head, big watery eyes were reflected back at him . Now she looked more like a stray kitten that was lost . With a whoosh, He Wenzhong felt that his heart was struck .
“Cough…” A slight cough interrupted the look between the two . “That… General He, you should put Xiao Xi down first . ”
“Oh oh…” He Wenzhong and Yun Xi s.h.i.+vered and they quickly separated, but the blush on the two faces was not so easy to eliminate .
Yun Xi secretly looked at He Wenzhong behind Li Yuan, only to find that the man that saved her was very tall, with dark skin . His physique was strong but did not lose any of his handsomeness . The power hidden in this strong body, she had first hand experience when she was nestled in his arms just now . This man…was the type she likes, ao~
“Nu Bi greets General He . Thank you General He for helping, otherwise, with our strength, we would be unable to save Xiao Xi . Xiao Xi…” Li Yuan made a wink towards Yun Xi .
Yun Xi hurriedly probed her small head out from behind Li Yuan, embarra.s.sed: “Thank you General He . ”
He Wenzhong was also a little embarra.s.sed . He looked at Yun Xi’s small red face, somehow he was at a loss on what to do . He just fell back to his usual habit and scratched the back of his head: “No need to thank me, it’s okay . It’s not early anymore, I should go back and cook for my father and my mother . I will leave first . ”
“General He, take care . ” Everyone looked at He Wenzhong who resembled a figure running away from the wilderness . After failing to react for a while, when she came back, Yun Xi asked in surprise: ” Li Yuan Jiejie knows that Da Ren just now?”
“Yes . Xiao Xi you don’t know yet, but that Da Ren is one of the four most powerful Da Rens under the emperor, the youngest general in the dynasty, General He Wenzhong . ”
“General He?” Yun Xi remembered the last sentence he had said . Then, she could not help but ask curiously, “He just said he was going back… to cook? He knows how to cook?”
“En, don’t just judge him based on his appearance . I heard Lu Rui Jiejie say that General He is very good at cooking and the dishes he makes are not inferior to hers . ”
“Can cook . ” Yun Xi groaned . Suddenly, she couldn’t help thinking of what Xia Yuqing had said to her .
“Xiao Xi, listen . Only men who can cook in the world are good men and know how to treasure people . In the future, you must marry a man who will cook for you, you understand?”
