Chapter 1
At the same time, she also noticed something was amiss
He mentioned several times to General Xiahou about incorporating Xiahou Qing into the imperial harem, but each time he was evaded by General Xiahou on the grounds of the young age of the girl
This young lady, since your father has accepted you as a foster daughter, I hope you can also learn some etiquette, so that a month later when you marry into the imperial palace, the palace maids and servants will not say that the Xiahou family has raised a daughter who does not understand propriety
She is not yet psychologically prepared
Xiahou Qing recognized characters at the age of 3, learned to play the guqin and practice painting at 5, began to show remarkable talent at 8, and by the age of 13, her skills in music and painting were renowned throughout the capital. By the time she turned 15, Miss Xiahou had blossomed into an extraordinarily beautiful woman, captivating the hearts of many. In the capital, everyone knew and spoke of Xiahou Wen's wonderful daughter.
As the young master of one of the three great families of Cangyuan and the foremost among the four young masters of the imperial capital, every unmarried young woman of Cangyuan Yunying strives to present her most beautiful side before him, hoping for a smile from him
Xiahou Jiang
She does not care where this is or who these people are, and whether the school will record her as having committed a minor offense for skipping class.
The green-clad maid, filled with resentment, secretly criticized while flattering.
Oh...! Feiyan, you big fool, you can change your name to deceive others, but just don't call yourself Feiyan!
The latter looked at her with amusement, mimicking her tone and lowering his voice.
Yet, Xiahou Wen, being a military general, did not understand the meaning of the phrase "Those who know how to adapt to the times are the true heroes." He only remembered how he had been forced by the Cloud Emperor to lose face, feeling extremely embarrassed, and he even forgot the etiquette between ruler and subject, forgetting that this inexplicably appearing little girl was not his daughter at all
Even if I know, why should I tell you
Xiao Feiyan was unaware of the deception, and was so startled that she jumped up immediately, "Where? Where?"
Yun Huang's body convulsed for a moment, and it took a considerable amount of time to suppress his anger.
Having grown up, during the middle school drama performance of "Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats," even the least capable chubby class leader managed to secure a supporting role as a soldier, ensuring that everyone would at least recognize her face. After much effort on her part, the playwright, exasperated by her persistence, waved his hand dismissively.
Hmm?
Her disdainful gaze fiercely pierced the person feigning death on the bed
The girl in white sitting at the table with a book turned her gaze, looking at the maid in green with confusion. The latter wore a face of disgust, biting down on a silver tooth.
She thought with glee, touching the floor, which was cold and icy
Why does she feel so cold
The little girl closed her eyes in despair, waiting for the overwhelming tide of ridicule to come.
A soft chuckle was heard in the court, and her face instantly flushed red
The old fox pretends to be innocent, while the Cloud Emperor is filled with unquenchable anger
She gazed hungrily at the ground, suddenly thinking that if the floor were made of gold, then other places must be even more valuable
Does she think that by crawling around like this, she can go unnoticed? Crawling to move, how could she even think of that!
Xiahou Wen also hurriedly requested to take his leave and followed her
Feng Lingnan almost burst out laughing
Oh? Why aren't you all laughing
Cut, this girl is clearly rude and disrespectful
You want me to marry a dull and unattractive girl as the princess, that is truly a laughingstock
A gentleman may be killed, but he must not be humiliated
Thus, the raccoon cat replaces the prince, the village girl replaces the beauty, and the Cloud Emperor, who failed to marry the long-admired first beauty of the capital, was unexpectedly schemed against by Xiahou Wen, forcing him to marry the clumsy girl Fei Yan who appeared out of nowhere
The King of Xiang has intentions, while the Divine Maiden is indifferent
Hello, little girl, you, ah... I haven't spoken yet, don't faint!
The girl in white smiled gently and set down the book.
This film crew is quite generous, using so many real props for the shoot; they must be very wealthy
Xiahou Jiang
Indeed, but I hope you remember that you are merely my substitute. The king married you not out of genuine affection, so do not foolishly think you can rise above me. In name, you are the betrothed princess, but until yesterday, whether you were a dragon or a worm, no one knew. In my eyes, you are nothing more than a little maid
You, go stand over there, there is still a scarecrow missing there
Hello, what kind of movie are you filming?
Hello, she is not an invisible person, ignoring her, classmate Fei Yan, is unethical
The young man on the throne had long hair cascading down, with dark eyebrows and bright eyes. His handsome face bore seven parts of majesty and three parts of menace. The courtiers, under his imposing presence, were each restless in their seats.
She secretly opened her eyes a small crack, and what came into view was the distorted faces of the beautiful woman in white, Xiahou Qing, and her maid, An'er
A wise person should have some insight and change the subject
Hmph! Just a foolish girl, lacking both looks and figure. Miss, have you not heard the master say? She is in the Hall of Light, and yet she is still gnawing on a chicken leg. Such a crude and gluttonous girl is unworthy of the title of our Xiahou family's young lady! A young lady of the Xiahou family should be as beautiful and intelligent as you, Miss!
Oh? Has the temperature dropped
He found it amusing and couldn't help but tease her
Can she secretly take a piece away
She suddenly became excited, gazing at the girl in white before her with a face full of anticipation, almost leaping forward to give her a kiss.
Now, the Cloud Emperor has issued a death decree
The little girl was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, feeling utterly wronged; she had clearly called out for Fei Yan!
The young man on the throne raised his eyebrow sharply, his handsome face, filled with rage yet smiling, was breathtakingly beautiful.
Thinking of this, a trace of a cold smile curled at the corners of his lips
The king has always wished to marry my daughter. I am willing to give my second daughter, Jiang'er, to the king as a demonstration of my loyalty to him
Upon reflecting on this, Xiao Feiyan chewed vigorously on the chicken leg she was holding in her mouth, "Hic!" a loud sound of satisfaction escaped her lips
It seems she rolled down the stairs, but how could the area at the bottom of the stairs turn into a film set? Which production team is so lacking in taste that they chose their school as a filming location
At this moment, even though the young girl in white exudes a calm demeanor, she cannot help but twitch the corners of her mouth
Xiahou Wen, do you dare to deceive the emperor! Xiahou Qing's beauty is unparalleled, how can this girl compare!
An'er stirs up trouble, fearing that the world will not be in chaos
Wow, it is made of gold
She clearly rolled down the stairs of the school
Xiahou Wen, a mere military general, is tall and robust in stature. Although he has not achieved any significant accomplishments, he is blessed with a daughter, Xiahou Qing, who is as beautiful as a flower.
It seemed as if she could not tolerate the radiant smile of the girl in white, and the young woman's charming face suddenly darkened, her tone shifting abruptly.
Before she could step over the threshold, with a sharp "clang," a dazzling array of gun barrels intersected, forming a dense forest of guns that barely obstructed her path
How bold of you! How dare you say that our young lady is an actress! Such a lowly status is unworthy of our gentle and beautiful young lady
The saying "easy to enter but hard to exit" is vividly exemplified in Fei Yan's case
Uh ... ... My name is Fei Yan ... ...
Alas, what has gotten into him? At this moment, he doesn't even know the surname and given name of the young lady. He has caused trouble indeed
A certain child grasped a jade-inlaid butterfly hairpin on the dressing table, bit down on it, and his eyes sparkled with excitement
The young girl, wrapped up like a zongzi, thought gloomily
It must be a dream, otherwise how could I see two girls dressed in ancient costumes
The old fox responded calmly with a smile and clasped his fists in greeting
Feng Lingnan let out a light laugh, his eyes sparkling like a new moon
Xiahou Wen
The old fox seized the opportunity and immediately put forward the conditions for the marriage proposal, decisively outmaneuvering the Cloud Emperor.
When did she change her surname
Where am I
The little girl quickly got up from the ground and stealthily walked outside. The solemn court was completely overturned by her presence. Emperor Yun, Du Ziten, looked coldly at her sneaky figure as she made her way out, feeling a sense of disgust in his heart, and he could only sense a twitching in his forehead.
Let him marry a rude and ordinary silly girl, is the old man Xiahou out of his mind
Fei Yan accidentally traveled to the Cangyuan Dynasty, which, in the eyes of Xiahou Wen, was undoubtedly a lifeline sent by heaven. He wiped away his cold sweat, and at that moment, with a decisive word, the bewildered Fei Yan was renamed Xiahou Jiang, becoming Xiahou Wen's second daughter
As soon as these words were spoken, the handsome face of the Cloud Emperor instantly appeared as if covered in ice and snow, chillingly causing those who beheld it to tremble
Aren't you all rehearsing?
Wow, the dead have come back to life, help, it's a resurrection!
She inquired softly, filled with confusion
An angry reprimand from An Er was like a flash of lightning on a clear day, a thunderclap striking overhead, leaving Fei Yan completely frozen, utterly petrified
Xiahou Wen stepped forward two paces and said solemnly: "I only know that Your Majesty does not speak lightly. Since the King has previously stated his intention to marry my daughter, now to change his mind will only lead to the common people of Cangyuan laughing at us."
A young girl dressed in a light green soft skirt held a bowl of medicine, looking inexplicably at a certain round object on the bed. She touched her own cheek and turned around, muttering: "Miss, does An'er look very frightening?"
Such a thing could probably only be accomplished by someone as naive as Xiao Feiyan
Without waiting for a response, Xiahou Wen expressed his heartfelt gratitude and bowed deeply in thanks
A dry laugh escaped her lips, and Fei Yan's body was half petrified.
Oh, it hurts... I am not called Xiahou Jiang, how would I know you are talking to me!
Xiahou Wen, with a grim expression, glanced at the unremarkable, at best merely ordinary and delicate-looking Fei Yan, who at this moment appeared to be calm and unhurried
Xiahou Jiang, are you even listening to what I am saying
The past is hard to look back on, but now Fei Yan is ready to make a comeback. Whether it is a modern drama or a period drama, she has become the leading role and has achieved success
One should marry a wife like Xiahou Qing, and one should only marry a husband like Du Zitang
However, if one were to gnaw on a chicken leg in the court without anyone else around
Do not touch my things recklessly
The woman in white has a delicate face resembling a thin layer of ice, her tone is cold and aggressive
The Cloud Emperor slammed the table in anger
She was magnificently ignored once again
stingy
As soon as the words left her mouth, she wished she could bite off her own tongue
But she hasn't received the script, will this be too sudden
At present, Fei Yan is very displeased
If today I do not marry my daughter to him, I will have to exile Xiahou Wen to a distant place
I did not say anything wrong. Just look at this girl, she is so foolish; how can she compare to you, Miss, even to a tenth of your goodness? Everyone praises you, Miss, for your gentleness and beauty, yet Lord Fengling has never praised you. Just yesterday, he actually praised her in front of everyone!
The master and servant faced each other in silence, watching as Fei Yan's cold sweat dripped down, one drop after another
It hurts, it hurts so much
Xiahou Qing let out a cold snort, and the name issue that had troubled classmate Fei Yan for fifteen years was finally resolved in a concrete manner
The little girl suddenly became excited
The dragon has nine sons, and there are still distinctions in their status; how much more so for an old minister. Your Majesty, please take a look at this old face of mine. I do not wish for Jiang'er to be as stunning as Qing'er, but I only hope that she possesses delicate features and upright character, and that would be enough for me
She is dreaming, she is dreaming
Upon mentioning this, the green-clad maid, An'er, glared with fiery eyes
Fei Yan randomly wiped her tears, sobbing softly
A certain little girl, who was pretending to be unconscious, suddenly jumped out of her bed upon hearing a certain phrase
The party Fei Yan did not understand her situation; she merely stared with round eyes, looking puzzled at the smugly smiling Xiahou Wen, and then glanced at the elevated Yun Huang, suddenly feeling a surge of ominous premonition in her heart
Classmate Fei Yan made a decisive conclusion, shooting a sharp glance at Feng Lingnan, and continued to crawl towards another person while holding a chicken leg bento.
And what about the director
Your request appears to be incomplete or unclear. Please provide a complete sentence or text for translation.
Xiahou Qingmo replied indifferently
Hmph, looks like a girl, and has a personality that is also shy and coy like a young lady
She excitedly lifted her little head and looked around
At that moment, she happened to catch the fierce gaze of Xiahou Wen, which startled her and made her shiver involuntarily, causing her to instinctively clutch the bento in her arms
The voice of the Cloud Emperor seemed to descend from the clouds, devoid of any emotion, and the Imperial Guard immediately obeyed the command to release the person.
The woman in white was finally so enraged that her mask shattered. With a glance, she signaled An'er, who understood and stepped forward, grabbing Fei Yan's hair forcefully, "Did you not hear our young lady speaking to you?"
Sunlight streamed through the wooden lattice windows, casting a soft glow across the entire room. The snow-white curtains, layered one upon another, fluttered gently in the breeze
Fei Yan stepped out of the palace gates, standing beneath the grand and magnificent Hall of Light. She gazed at the towering palaces around her, adorned with exquisite light blue, pale green, and bright yellow glazed tiles. The ancient stone-paved roads crisscrossed in all directions, and the old imperial palace exuded an invisible yet overwhelming aura of authority.
Oh, this is gold, pure... Wow, how extravagant!
If I knew, I wouldn't ask you!
Xiahou Jiang is truly adorable, and Xiahou Qing is indeed fortunate to have such wonderful daughters
Xiao Fei Yan woke up in a daze, and as she opened her eyes, she saw a young girl in ancient attire by the window. She let out a scream and fainted again.
On the bed, a round ball wrapped in a quilt like a zongzi had its ears perked up, straining to digest the conversation between the two people
If An'er does not look terrifying, then why does this girl let out such a horrifying scream upon seeing An'er
Xiahou Wen, is this the explanation you provide to this king
The latter is not to be underestimated either, as the current situation has become filled with sarcasm and screams.
The two daughters of Xiahou Jiang
This is silver, isn't it
Enough! An'er, stop messing around!
Marry her
What place is this
The young girl clenched her small fist, her delicate face filled with defiance, as she glared fiercely at An'er with a fierce expression.
Moreover, with her ugly appearance, she actually dares to seduce Lord Fengling in the Hall of Light
When did the school build such a large palace
The young girl before me had an ordinary appearance, her tear stains still fresh, and she amusingly clutched a strange box. Despite her disheveled state, she was not at all affected or pretentious.
My name is Fei Yan, a citizen of the People's Republic of China. I am fifteen years old this year and a student in Class C of the first year of high school at Fengyang High School in City T
As the voice fell, a few light laughs echoed sporadically in the court. The Emperor Yun cast a glance, and the laughter immediately ceased.
She secretly clicked her tongue, momentarily dazzled by the beauty, feeling as if her head was severely lacking oxygen
This time, I am truly dizzy
Oh... that uncle is so fierce
Fei Yan was all smiles, touching this and that, surrounded by a dazzling array of items, everything appeared novel, and even just touching could recoup the investment
Over there, a lord and his minister are engaged in a battle of wits, while here, the young girl Fei Yan is completely oblivious to the situation, showing not the slightest awareness of not being the main topic of conversation.
The master and servant were both in a state of agitation, yet Xiao Feiyan had become addicted to treasure hunting.
Miss, please take a break and do not be angry! I said that wretched girl is not a good person! I can see that she definitely has ulterior motives! Even the master has been captivated by her and wants to take her as a goddaughter
Xiahou Wen is not unwilling for his daughter to marry the most powerful man, but his daughter Xiahou Qing has been childhood sweethearts with her cousin and has already made a private vow to be together for life. She is adamant about not wanting to marry, and Xiahou Wen is helpless in this situation
Cangyuan Dynasty, a palace of resplendent gold and jade
Your Majesty is wise. For over a decade, I, your humble servant, have consistently bestowed my affection upon my eldest daughter, Qing'er, while neglecting the upbringing of Jiang'er. I did not expect that Your Majesty would not hold Jiang'er in disdain. I feel ashamed. In order to make amends for Jiang'er, I will certainly prepare a dowry worth ten miles, ensuring that she enters the palace in a grand manner
"Xiahou, my dear minister, I was merely intoxicated that day and made a few jokes; you need not take it to heart." He deliberately emphasized the words 'my dear minister,' and his cold, handsome face already showed signs of displeasure
The little girl, with a tone of dissatisfaction, poked his chest and found it to be hard and resilient, surprisingly causing her own finger to hurt.
She quickly withdrew her hand and glared at him in frustration
She looked at the two people strangely, announcing her full name. No one laughed, and no one showed any disdain. This feeling made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
What do you think
This is undoubtedly an insult to her character, even more severe than calling her "pneumonia"
I am here, Your Majesty
O - M - G, what is this place?
Father has already taken her as an adopted daughter, from now on, An'er shall call her Second Miss
The little girl crawled on the ground, reaching out her small hand to tug at the corner of his garment, signaling him to come down. He smiled slightly and, disregarding the decorum of the court, squatted down.
Why hasn't she seen the photographer, the lighting, or the stage until now? There is absolutely nothing at all!
Yun Huangjun's face was filled with a sinister aura, his narrow eyes slightly squinting. His cold gaze swept over Fei Yan's small face, and he immediately darkened his expression and issued an angry rebuke
This statement is incorrect. Your Majesty does not disdain the ordinary appearance and lack of talent of this humble girl, yet he married her because of a promise worth a thousand gold pieces. Once this news spreads beyond the borders, everyone will praise your noble character
Adopted daughter? What is that?
God knows how unwillingly he said this.
Hey, I must say.
She just rolled down the stairs, and after such a commotion, tears immediately streamed down her face. "Wuwu... it hurts so much!" What is so great about rehearsals that they have to put her through this?
Fei Yan was climbing happily when she suddenly noticed a young man on the throne, his gaze sweeping over her face with anger, causing her to shiver unexpectedly
Lord Fengling is such a refined and extraordinary figure, yet he actually praised the second daughter of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Jiang, for her innocence and charm, calling her very lovely. Hmph, she clearly cannot see how this counterfeit second lady is anything but charming!
She murmured to herself, and with a thud, she fainted unexpectedly
Whether I call you Fei Yan or something else, from now on, you can only be called Xiahou Jiang
Xiahou Residence, my boudoir
What is it?
Innocent and adorable
The latter lay on the bed, her back feeling a chill as it was pierced by her gaze
Although Xiaofei Yan's appearance is said to be ordinary, it would not be an exaggeration to claim that she is the daughter of Xiahou Wen. Like father, like daughter; the two indeed bear a certain resemblance to each other.
Miss, your heart is just too soft
A tranquil courtyard, with a few slender bamboo branches.
Marrying into the royal palace
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, not one more, not one less than her
Why does he look at her with such a fierce gaze, when she hasn't taken his lunch? Could it be that he hasn't eaten for several days and is now wanting to have her chicken leg rice?
Hey, who are you calling ugly! I am not ugly at all!
In the court, a tall and robust military general, drenched in sweat, glared angrily at a certain round object that had rolled to the feet of a young man from outside the palace doors, wishing he could strangle it on the spot
The old fox, Xiahou Wen, originally intended to find her and discuss matters with her, but he happened to see her body sway a few times before she fell straight to the stone floor. He quickly supported her, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead again
Yun Huang was momentarily at a loss for words, loosening his grip on the little girl's hand. Suddenly, Xiao Feiyan, holding the lunch box and chicken leg, rolled like a ball to the feet of Xiahou Wen.
The girl in white suddenly looked dejected and said softly: "Father boasted in the Hall of Light yesterday, claiming that this young lady is the second daughter of the Xiahou family. My cousin praised her, but it was merely to support my father's lie..."
The general Xiahou Wen was dripping with sweat, but upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly brightened. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please do not be angry. I would not dare to deceive you; she is indeed my second daughter, Xiahou Jiang."
"Hmph, if you are not called Xiahou Jiang, then what is your name? What do you intend to be called? You are now the second young lady of the Xiahou family; if you are not called Xiahou Jiang, what else could you be called?"
Good, good, you Xiahou Wen
Let her go
The latter remained in a daze, still staring with its glossy round eyes, rubbing its sore bottom from the fall, seemingly unable to distinguish between east, south, west, and north
When did the school build a palace? Is she going to play the princess? Isn't that just the main character?
Is it arranged by the production team
These are two phrases that have been widely circulated in Cangyuan in recent years: Xiahou Qing possesses both beauty and intelligence, being not only a beauty but also a talented woman. Meanwhile, the young Yun Emperor Du Ziten is the most noble and handsome man in the Cangyuan Dynasty
What kind of madness is this, that he would actually agree to the request of the old man Xiahou
From childhood to now, Feiyan has never encountered the brilliant position of the protagonist. During the dance rehearsals in elementary school, the flowers of the motherland were truly vibrant, while the other children were like flowers; she squatted in the corner, wearing a green hat, pretending to be the green leaves.
Isn't it a rehearsal
An Er curled her lips in disdain, casting a cold glance at Fei Yan, her tone icy
She wiped away her tears, holding the bento box, and nimbly climbed to the feet of a handsome young scholar. The scholar had a refined face and delicate skin; although he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his appearance was unexpectedly delicate, resembling that of a woman
One second, two seconds, three seconds ... ...
The girl in white, Xiahou Qing, turned around and saw her beloved butterfly silver hairpin bitten with teeth marks, which immediately caused her to be overwhelmed with anger.
Xiahou Jiang
This prince wishes to marry your daughter, yet you have summoned such a maid to the court. Are you dismissing this prince? How many heads do you, Xiahou Wen, have to dare to deceive the sovereign and commit treason!
Since Xiahou Wen is determined to have him marry Xiahou Jiang, he should not blame him for later relegating her to the cold palace
Class is about to start, she no longer wants to accompany them in acting!
He stood up, swiftly scooping up the little figure by his feet, his dark eyes, like thin ice, fixed fiercely on the burly general, his voice cold.
