Chapter 2
Come on! Brother! Why don't you just come and make me a drink!
In the past, this was actually very simple; all one had to do was to give this man a firm pat on the shoulder and say: "Let's go! Brother! Let's go chase after some girls together!"
In today's world, it is evident that idioms truly live up to their reputation, being remarkably concise and to the point
For example: The current emperor has a gentle disposition, which was not particularly favored by the late emperor. It was only because someone addressed Qi Sheng as "Good Holy Grandson" that the emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly
The palace maid, momentarily unable to hear clearly, looked at me with tear-filled eyes, resembling a pear blossom drenched in rain, causing my heart to tremble.
Indeed, thirty-eight days can significantly change a person's manner of speaking and behavior
King Zhao strode away, holding the unconscious Jiang, without even saying a word of farewell. Alas, this child is too lacking in thoroughness in his actions, with no future ahead of him
The palace maid clearly paused for a moment, unsure if she understood my meaning. She simply lowered her head and gently nodded, saying, "This servant understands."
Ah! The Crown Prince truly is the Crown Prince, always so concise in his words!
Oh, Si Ming! I have made a great enmity with you!
For example, although Qi Sheng is the crown prince, the emperor's favorite is the ninth prince, King Chu, and he has contemplated deposing the crown prince several times to establish a new heir.
Stop! You're thinking too far ahead!
The thirty-eight years of a great person pass in the blink of an eye, let alone my thirty-eight days as an ordinary person. My two fingers barely touch, and I can only watch as these thirty-eight days slip away in an instant
The prince still stood to the side with his small fists clenched tightly, his lips pressed together, and his gaze remained fixed on Jiang, almost as if it were about to pull a thread. Alas, as a man myself, I understand you! After all, this is someone else's wife!
Your hands are truly beautiful, but, my dear, your nails are a bit too long; they might hurt someone while exercising. However, that may not necessarily be the case, as some people actually prefer it this way. If you don't scratch their back until it blooms like a flower, they won't feel satisfied
Since returning, the palace maid's eyes have been red, which makes me feel quite sorry for her. Later, unable to bear it any longer, I said to her while she was assisting me with my bath: "Don't cry, I—"
Upon her saying this, I felt a sudden pang in my heart, and tears almost welled up. Truly, she is my confidante! I have really been through so much! Such a beautiful girl is almost being sincere with me, yet I can only watch longingly without being able to have her. Is it really that easy for me?
Let's go, brother! I will accompany you to pursue women
Alas! It is the first time I have discovered that it is actually so difficult to please a man
His Royal Highness paused for a moment, his outstretched hand freezing in mid-air, before slowly retracting it and forming a fist at his side
Just as I stealthily shifted my center of gravity for the Nth time, the gates of the Xing Sheng Palace finally opened. Several eunuchs brought the still white-clad Jiang family member out from within. The Crown Prince and Prince Zhao suddenly sprang up from the ground and rushed forward, arriving simultaneously in front of the Jiang family member.
Not allowed ! PASS !
Alas! It is truly a sorrowful matter
As I walked past the prince, seeing him in such a state, I truly wanted to pat him on the shoulder and offer some words of comfort: "Brother, there are countless fragrant grasses in the world, why must you be infatuated with that one flower on the cow dung?"
Even less acceptable
Yingyue! The King Zhao called out urgently, pushed aside the eunuch, and lifted Jiang up in one swift motion
Alas, it is truly difficult to express in words. Even when playing cuju with the palace maids and eunuchs, and the ball came straight at me, I had already learned to no longer instinctively cover my groin, but instead to protect my chest
In fact, these thirty-eight days are not short; they are sufficient for me to understand many things, both overt and subtle
... ...
My legs went a bit numb from kneeling, and I couldn't get up by myself for a moment. A palace maid helped me up from the ground with some effort. Even so, I stumbled a bit as I got to my feet, and my elbow accidentally bumped into the maid's chest. Feeling guilty, I almost jumped back up from the ground and quickly stole a glance at her. Seeing her expression unchanged, I finally let out a sigh of relief, while also feeling regretful; had I known it would turn out this way, I should have stayed a little longer.
Directly swat away
The sedan chair swayed along the way, while I was filled with distress throughout the journey
The prince opened his mouth again, but this time not a single word came out.
Do you remember that a great person once said: Thirty-eight years have passed, in the blink of an eye
I was hesitating whether to ask the maid to bring me a cushion when the Crown Prince suddenly turned his head and glanced at me. Ah! That little gaze was so cold it could almost shoot out ice daggers. He opened his mouth and softly uttered a single word.
... ...
Uh, I am thinking too far again
I truly apologize; these are all habits carried over from a previous life. I once had a girlfriend who, along with a friend from a book club, had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness. If my clothes got even a speck of dust, she would meticulously clean me inside and out, almost wishing to toss me into the washing machine to give me a good spin.
The manner of speaking has changed from being straightforward and brisk to a soft and slow tone
Little did I know it would be better not to say anything. As soon as I began to speak, the young palace maid unexpectedly burst into tears, wiping her tears while choked with emotion, saying: "You, you have had such a hard time!"
After turning in all directions for a long time, the sedan chair finally came to a stop. The palace maid from earlier lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, extending her delicate hand to assist me, while gently advising, "Your Highness, be careful."
I turned my head and gently said to the palace maid, "Turn around and trim your nails, they are too long and not good!"
Let's go, brother! I will take you to meet some girls
The issue is that I can no longer express it this way, so shall I rephrase it?
For example, Zhang's grandfather was once a personal guard of the founding emperor, and later followed him to fight in the north of the Yangtze River, achieving remarkable military accomplishments. Zhang's father is currently the Minister of War, holding significant military power
The palace maid carefully assisted me into the sedan chair, which then swayed gently as it carried me back to the Eastern Palace. Upon entering the hall, I felt something amiss with my trousers, and only when I changed clothes did I realize that the garments underneath were already stained with blood. Suddenly, I recalled those advertisements on television, featuring a thin layer, worry-free day and night, allowing for both exercise and happiness! Truly a remarkable product, one that my heart longs for. Suddenly, I recalled those advertisements on television, featuring a thin layer, worry-free day and night, allowing for both exercise and happiness! Truly a remarkable product, one that my heart longs for.
"Get up," I said
I have been thinking all the way: how to please a man
I have no intention of doing anything to you; right now, I have the desire of a thief but lack the means of a thief
I closed my eyes and carefully recalled the way the woman walked. Then, I tightened my buttocks and vigorously twisted my waist, taking small, hurried steps towards her. When I reached the side of the prince and stood still, I intended to kneel down as well, but after just one glance, I stopped again.
I was helped out of the sedan chair by the palace maid. As I looked up, I indeed saw two men kneeling straight outside the palace gate. From their backs, the one on the left was wearing some bright yellow clothing, indicating that he was likely the young prince, the pretty boy.
... ...
I had already extended my hand, but halfway through, I forcefully retracted it, landing it on the delicate jade hand of the palace maid who was supporting my arm, truly soft as if it had no bones
Go away
... ...
What a pity, sigh! This wicked old society
The seat has been transformed from a large knife shape to one resembling a quail.
Why bother
That won't work either ! PASS !
This is to show off to the teacher: Look, although my sentences are not very smooth, my writing is splendid
Alas, a fool is ultimately a fool; even if you capitalize it as SB, it cannot change its inherent nature
Sigh, I am thinking too far again
Thus, I gained a deeper understanding of His Royal Highness's feelings just now; this longing that cannot be fulfilled is truly excruciating.
The palace maid, perhaps stunned by my actions, no longer cried or knelt, but simply stood beside me in a daze
Amidst such difficulties, life has been passing by swiftly; in the blink of an eye, I have been in this Eastern Palace for over a month.
In the past, whenever I found myself at a loss for words while writing an essay, I would pull out a few idioms to use, such as: time flies and the years are like a song! In the blink of an eye, with a picture book, time slips away like a white horse passing through a gap, vanishing in an instant.
The brisk walk has been transformed into a gentle stroll like a willow swaying in the wind
I think he probably agreed with my opinion, then automatically took two steps to the side, chose a cleaner tile, and first squatted down to carefully blow off the dust before kneeling down.
I lowered my head to glance at my clothes, and then considered my body that had just undergone a miscarriage. The action of "rolling" seemed to be quite difficult, so I asked the Crown Prince in a negotiating tone, "Can we find another way? I am afraid I won't be able to roll very far."
Get up! I said it again
The palace maid stood up in a daze, sighing. How could this girl not understand? If you want to please the boss, you must share both his joys and sorrows. Of course, when he is enjoying himself, he usually does not remember whether you are enjoying it or not, but when he is suffering, he will definitely take into account whether you are suffering as well
How could someone be so oblivious as to not bring two cushions to provide some padding
For example: In this Eastern Palace, Huang Liangyuan has the largest bust, Li Chenghui has the thinnest waist, and Chen Liangdi has the most beautiful face! However, the most captivating of all must be Wang Zhaoxun's long, slender, and taut beautiful legs
Go! Brother! You go chase girls by yourself!
As I knelt down, it was quite a sight; a young palace maid also knelt beside me with a thud, crying out in a melodramatic manner: "Your Highness! You must not neglect your own health like this; the ground is too cold! How can your body withstand it!"
I used my hand to pat the dust off her skirt, um, the calves beneath this young lady's skirt are quite straight and slender, and they feel really nice to the touch
