Chapter 8

However, she felt somewhat strange. Previously, her inexplicable desire had been satisfied by Wei Chi Ge's kiss, but another wave of deeper longing arose. She gasped softly, unconsciously moaning, her head slightly tilted... allowing him to kiss her neck, the corner of her clothing at the chest being revealed. Deep within her, it was both cold and hot, yearning to possess the Wei Chi Ge before her, to obtain... to obtain... She was in a daze, her hands and feet tightly entwined with him, frustrated that she could only describe it as "to obtain," yet unable to articulate precisely how to achieve it. Allowing him to kiss her neck, the corner of her clothing at the chest being revealed, deep within her, it was both cold and hot, yearning to possess the Wei Chi Ge before her, to obtain... to obtain... She was in a daze, her hands and feet tightly entwined with him, frustrated that she could only describe it as "to obtain," yet unable to articulate precisely how to achieve it.

She remembers that when Bai Qi first arrived at her home, he frowned at her behavior and vowed to transform her into a refined young lady. She never asked Bai Qi whether she was beautiful, for she feared that even with punches and kicks, his answer would not change

Upon entering the pavilion, she was placed on the table. ... She found it quite amusing; she had always strived to become a refined young lady, but after becoming Cui Shunhua, she had to cast all the rules aside, which was truly ...

Shunhua's expression was slightly strange. "Wait a moment, Lianbi... just now you mentioned infatuation?"

The corners of her mouth curled up, and with one experience, she could undoubtedly become a master of drawing inferences. She wanted to imitate him, lifting his collar and leaving her fierce and passionate kiss on his shoulder. However, he suddenly kissed her eyelid and softly murmured, "This is the corner of the eyes of Xu's Shunhua." He then moved his kiss to her forehead and slowly said, "The beauty spot of Xu's Shunhua." Gradually, he landed on her lips, saying, "The slightly thick lips of Xu's Shunhua."

Shunhua was taken aback upon hearing this, feeling that the man she was holding was somewhat tense. After pondering for a moment, she recalled that there was indeed a time when Yuchi Ge visited and coincidentally encountered her while she was taking her medicine

She remembered that Qi Er had mentioned that once Bai Qi accompanied the young lady of the Liu family to the temple to offer incense, and Liu Ye Yue seemed to have twisted her ankle. Bai Qi carried her for a while, and Qi Er praised him without any sense of embarrassment, indicating that such scenarios are quite common among prominent and wealthy families

He followed her for many years, and unknowingly, he was also influenced by her

Although he is described as aloof in "The Four Seasons of the Capital," at first, she found his cold demeanor intimidating. However, after spending more time with him, she did not feel he was inferior to Bai Qi. In fact, among the wealthy and prestigious families, he is perhaps the only one who can set aside interests to discuss videotapes.

Wei Chi Ge, I am no longer concerned at all. Truly, if it is meant to come, it will come, and I will face it. Because it is Wei Chi Gong who understands the essence of the Xu family, I have begun to comprehend the scenery flowing around me. For me, this is the best gift that heaven has bestowed upon the Xu family

The next day, Lian Bi cleverly set up several tables and soft satin cushions under the willow trees by the lake, while Shun Hua sat there in a dignified manner, listening to them play music and practice dance

She still wishes to retain in her heart that pure land of verdant willows and azure skies, not wanting to hate others time and again. She noticed Lian Bi staring at the scar on her right arm. "Is it very frightening?"

Of course. That voice was softly hoarse

Lian Bi softly said: "What status does the head of the household hold, that they could possibly collaborate in music with someone of a lower standing? Such behavior is unbecoming and would lead others to look down upon them. If the head of the household wishes to learn an instrument or practice dance, they can simply invite a musician. Why... why collaborate with a fallen slave in music?"

Wei Chi Ge was considerate of her at all times, fearing that she might suffer further schemes at the Cui family. Therefore, he dispatched his trusted confidant Ying to guard her side at all times. She felt touched and grateful, and did not think much about this matter. Days passed in this manner, but she did not take into account what thoughts might arise in the eyes of Lian Bi or other servants.

What is it compared to? she asked in a muffled voice

Ah?

She hurriedly exclaimed, "Stop playing, stop playing." No matter how much one tries to please her, there is no need to go to such lengths! If she accidentally falls asleep until nightfall, wouldn't his fingers be broken from playing?

Shunhua suddenly recalled something and repeatedly glanced at Lianbi and Ying.

Lian Bi looked at her and said meaningfully

Lian Bi smiled faintly. "The head of the family has indeed lost some of the sharpness and shrewdness of the past; is this truly a good thing? She cannot even see the small-mindedness of a young girl. The head of the family is genuinely startled in the Spring Return Pavilion, but Miss Yi Ren acts with intention, betting whether Young Master Qi will publicly ask her to marry him. This is quite amusing; most people would assume that the one playing tricks is the head of the family, rather than the pitiful Miss Yi Ren."

I am not familiar with the Great Wei and do not have a clear understanding of it

The novice performers practiced their dance with stiffness, and the musicians played the piano out of tune, yet they endured it. As days passed, they could no longer bear it and began to privately suspect that Cui Shunhua was intentionally causing trouble. They claimed that he was giving them a chance to start anew, yet he was constantly watching them, suppressing them, and putting pressure on them.

On the other side, the young attendant Ying, left by Wei Chigong, hurriedly stepped forward and said

Of course, there are other options, but at this moment, it is not appropriate, not appropriate indeed

She stared at him intently, smiling, and suddenly touched his prominent nose with her lips

She smiled gently, covering her cheek where the medicine had been applied; even a light touch would still cause pain. She looked behind him, where Lian Bi was chasing after them with an umbrella, yet he maintained his distance, not daring to approach without her or Wei Chi Gong's command

After her serious illness, Cui Shunhua became very quiet. Initially, she only stayed in her courtyard, but one day she faintly heard music. Following the sound, she eventually stopped by the lakeside, watching the performers practice their dance.

Lian Bi was so stunned that he could not speak for a moment.

She repeatedly spared the woman named Qing'e, yet Qing'e suspected that this Cui Shunhua would conspire against her and cause her death, thus taking the initiative to strike first. If she spared her again this time, perhaps tomorrow Qing'e would come with a knife to attack her. It would be better to truly harm her slightly, drive her out of the capital, and ensure they would never meet again, allowing Qing'e to find peace.

This medicine should be used only after I take charge

Shunhua looked at the musician Ran in surprise, as he focused intently on playing. Wasn't he tired? She really wanted to ask if he could play the same piece for several hours every day without taking a break. She truly admired the passion these musicians had for music

She smiled, her eyes curving, and pulled out his hairpin, causing his long black hair to cascade down.

When it comes to the brothel, I heard that the young lady, like you, disguised herself as a man and mingled in the pleasure quarters

The man's breath approached her once more, and she quickly closed her eyes, surrendering to his tender kiss

Lian Bi and Ying exchanged a glance, quietly standing on the same side for the moment. Ying corrected, "Cui, please do not misunderstand. We simply happen to know a bit more about the situation than others, not that we are deliberately digging for information."

Although she really wanted to cultivate a shy demeanor, at this moment, her face was filled with an unmistakable smile of spring. She truly suspected that Wei Chi Ge had intentionally brought her to the pavilion, deliberately creating a gentle atmosphere, and doing so on purpose.

"Yes, yes." She laughed heartily, causing even Bi to feel a bit startled. In the past, when Cui Shunhua laughed, it was always with a haughty disdain for the world, a trait inherent to those from prestigious and wealthy families. However, the Cui Shunhua before her now smiled with pure delight, as if she had truly encountered something joyful

Shunhua

A slightly cold and calm voice echoed in Shunhua's ears. She moved her eyelids, and upon opening them, she discovered the dim light surrounding her. As she raised her gaze again, she let out a gasp.

"He is very shrewd, too shrewd. When it comes to shrewdness in this regard, I am far from being his match. I would choose a beloved man of great stature over profit." This is to praise one's own master as a priority

She originally wanted to ask if she could give him a kiss, but she thought that such a question was too subtle and not in line with the generosity expected of a prominent and wealthy family. Therefore, she took the initiative to kiss his chin, the corner of his mouth, and the bridge of his nose. Her heart raced with joy at his cooperation, and he even adjusted his height to match hers at the table, allowing her to do as she pleased

He lay still on her shoulder, and although she could not see clearly, the cold and hard sensation on her back made her acutely aware that she was lying on a stone table. She thought that she must be blushing more than ever, her heart was in turmoil and difficult to calm. Subconsciously, she gently ran her ten fingers back and forth through his silky long hair, trying to steady her breath.

If others do not publish "The Four Seasons of the Capital," it does not matter; we shall publish it ourselves. You will collaborate with Ying, exclusively writing about the romantic escapades of the prominent wealthy families, avoiding any scandalous matters, and focusing solely on the delightful anecdotes that please both the refined and the common. Remember, apart from Wei Chigong, no one else must know that this is our undertaking; we must keep it well concealed. Otherwise, if discovered, you two will be pursued by Bai Qi and Qi Yuming, and I will not take responsibility.

She quickly got up, her legs numb and her center of gravity unstable. Wei Chi Gong picked her up in one swift motion, and she was momentarily taken aback, then somewhat shyly wrapped her arms around his neck

Indeed. Wei Chi is infatuated with the young lady, as previously mentioned by the head of the household. Lian Bi has also privately observed this and confirmed that there are indeed signs of it

Shunhua suddenly met Ying's gaze. The look in Ying's eyes seemed to reveal a slight discrepancy from what she had anticipated, and Shunhua instantly felt a surge of excitement. She could not hide her curiosity and tentatively remarked, "This Qi Yuming is truly astute."

The dance of the southern dancers is not intense; they worship the birds as deities, and their movements blend grace and femininity with lightness and agility. This dance lasts for a full one and a half hours

In the past, an elder taught me to appreciate the beauty of Nanlin, but I had never been there, and no matter how I imagined it, I found it uninteresting. Later, I met someone from Nanlin, understood him, and grew fond of him, which gradually sparked my interest in matters related to Nanlin. I always feel that this is how the world works; regardless of how meaningful something is to you, you must first familiarize others with it, allowing them to slowly develop an affection for it, and they will naturally want to understand it. Isn't that wonderful? This is the sleeve dance of Nanlin; I have seen its patterns in books, and indeed, it is just as described. Unfortunately, today I am wearing a coarse black robe, and the sleeves cannot be waved gracefully. She felt joyful and did not mind that dancing the sleeve dance in a less delicate black robe lacked any aesthetic appeal.

"It hasn't been long at all." Wei Chi Gong casually glanced at the musicians and said, "Everyone can disperse now."

She paused for a moment, feeling as if he were just making small talk, and then teased him by saying

Hmm. She did not move

It is said that her long hair spread out in struggle, revealing her feminine form.

She really wanted to ask him what his eyes were saying, to tell her, but he suddenly said:

Hehe, do you think I am a good person? This is my way of making things difficult for you!

Up close, he noticed that the wound was quite deep. Without the use of skin regeneration medicine, it would definitely leave a noticeable scar, which could be considered disfiguring. How could she not care at all?

Shunhua's delicate body trembled slightly as she stared foolishly at his neatly worn clothes, then glanced at her own dress. ... Her face felt so hot that she was dizzy ... ? ... Is it true or not? ? She saw the smile in his eyes ? . It must be a joke, right? ? Don't scare her.

Shunhua does not possess as many ulterior motives as they do. She simply thinks that the piece contains her name, which endears it to her, making it something she can listen to endlessly. She does not intend to monitor these families; she merely wishes for the music to relax her mind, to alleviate her worries, and thus steps outside to let the gentle breeze sweep away her troubles, allowing the beautiful melodies to dispel her melancholy

In Beitang, few people share meals or clothing

Shunhua regained her composure. Lianbi was kneeling in front of her, holding a silver tray that contained the medicine for the knife wound.

Cui Shunhua has slightly long limbs, a graceful figure, and a waist like a willow, exuding elegance in every movement. When she returns in high spirits, her eyes are crescent-shaped, her lips curve into a smile, her brows are relaxed, and she radiates brilliance, captivating all around her. The heavy clouds of recent days have vanished from her presence. She gazes around, and finally her eyes rest on the musician Ran Shi, who is staring at her intently, and she smiles, saying:

"As for the family, to the south of Nanlin, just above, is Dawei. I have heard that the dance music of Dawei is similar to that of Nanlin," Lian Bi said without looking up.

Shunhua was unaware of Lianbi's thoughts; she was filled with joy. ... "The Four Seasons of the Capital" has yet to show any signs of being published, no, in fact, no one dares to undertake it, despite her searching high and low ...

He glanced at her... He could not understand why Wei Chi, the head of the family, would... place such importance on this kind of woman

Therefore, she has always held a profound disdain for the Beitong people of lower social status.

Due to the application of medicine, Lian Bi was very close to her, almost able to smell the faint scent of her bath. It was uncertain whether it was because she bathed daily, but even though the dance queen had a slight scent of sweat, it still carried a pleasant soapy fragrance, completely different from the rich and varied aromas of Cui Shunhua in the past

Wei Chi Gong carried her away from the lakeside. She caught a glimpse of the people behind him finally stirring, some of them even stumbled as they got up due to their numb legs, which made her feel a deep sense of guilt.

Yuchi Gong then said

Since some things cannot be changed, I might as well consider myself a piece of stinky tofu. Perhaps I am infamous, but as long as one is willing to approach me, they will understand the beauty within my heart. Xu Shihunhua may not possess the skin of a beauty, but I believe she still has a bit of a beautiful heart. My father named me Shunhua; if he only wanted me to be a beauty in appearance, that would truly be underestimating him. She blinked and, feeling a bit shy, said: "Yuchi Ge, shall we, ahem, do it again? My father named me Shunhua; if he only wanted me to be a beauty in appearance, that would truly be underestimating him." She blinked again, feeling a bit shy, and said: "Yuchi Ge, shall we, ahem, do it again? It turns out I was just playing children's games before, this... just this once, when you kiss me, imagine that Xu Shihunhua with a beauty mark, okay?"

The sharing of food between men and women already implies a certain intimacy, but if someone insists that it signifies a bond of life and death, there is nothing that can be done; as for sharing clothing, that is truly something only the closest of couples can do

"Yes, with spring returning, no one dares to let her die in the building. " Lian Bi's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Now we just wait for the master to give the order. How dare she frighten the master like this? If she doesn't get her skin peeled off alive, I fear the master's resentment will be hard to quell."

When the head of the household commands us to perform a piece of music every month, is it to allow the people of Beitang to understand the music of various countries? This in turn would help them comprehend the significance of the Xiao Zhou Chunjiang tune, and perhaps persuade the Emperor to spare him... He did not dare to ask the latter part of the question

Thus, they sent out the musician who played the piece "There is a Woman in the Car" to divert Cui Shunhua's attention, allowing the others to continue their dance practice

Shunhua's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Indeed, it is exactly as described in the book"

Naturally, I am more beautiful than a peony, no, I am a celestial beauty of unparalleled grace. I fear that upon seeing me, you, Cui Shunhua, will lose your appetite, and rather than spending every day thinking about such beauty, it would be better not to see anything at all, and just obediently accept my modest beauty as Cui Shunhua. As she spoke, she noticed the corners of his mouth gently rising.

In the afternoon, I went to the Bai residence, he said again

There are no outsiders present at the moment, so why not use your other methods to give a kiss

When she was a child, she pointed at her beautiful peak and asked her dear father if she was a beauty. Her dear father laughed and said that as long as one has a beautiful heart, one is a beauty. At that moment, she began to punch and kick until her father changed his words and said she was a beauty, and only then did she stop.

No... Is it not the young lady of the Liu family depicted? However, one can tell at a glance that the young lady of the Liu family is a refined lady from a prominent family; how could she be playing in the water? Shunhua wanted to raise her head to ask for clarification, but she was held tightly in his embrace

Behind the screen, he did not utter a single word, leading her to believe that he was angry, though she was unaware of the cause of his anger. This prompted her to hastily finish her medicine and then put on the demeanor of a refined lady to entertain guests with news of prominent and wealthy families.

She said: "I don't know why, but I just want to kiss Wei Chi Ge."

She softly said

I did not do it on purpose

There was no way out; I used to lie in bed, and many things I could only hear about. I learned this from Qi'er... she is my maid. She said that men are attracted to beauty, which is why Bai Qi fell in love with the young lady of the Liu family. Now that I think about it, Qi'er was hinting at my appearance... Suddenly, she stopped speaking, her expression strange, and quickly added: "Wei Chi Ge, you once promised me that you would not sneak a look at Xu Shi Shunhua's appearance."

In her childhood, her dear father would regularly carry her around the residence, allowing her to admire the flowers, grass, trees, and the blue sky. Furthermore, before the expansion into the Bai residence, her dear father would take her to the pond beside the Xu family estate, where they would watch the frogs leap and the fish swim. Even though it was easy for her to catch a chill, he would still let her enjoy the natural breeze for an entire afternoon

In the Bai residence, male and female servants come and go, and she cannot discern their true personalities. If one were to say who has been with her the longest, it would undoubtedly be Qi'er. However, Qi'er does not behave in such a manner; if Qi'er were to make a mistake, she would merely stick out her tongue and plead with her not to tell Bai Qi, or during those days, she would be particularly attentive and refrain from mentioning Miss Liu. Considering this, her position as a mistress is quite commendable.

Wei Chigong lit the lamps at the four corners of the pavilion and then lowered the gauze curtains to shield against the wind and sand. When he turned around, Shunhua noticed the yellow light filtering through the curtains, casting soft layers of glow upon him.

Her face flushed slightly

What if I let it become a very obvious scar? Would Wei Chi care? I have heard that men are very concerned about such things

The remaining ones are abrasions; I forgot to apply medicine and they have already scabbed over, but it is not a problem

Shunhua turned back to look at him and said with a smile, "I will speak to Wei Chi about this, and from now on, let Lian Bi apply the medicine."

Cover the wound to prevent it from being exposed to the rain

"Wei Chi Ge, I actually fell asleep in front of them. Does this mean that I have overcome my fears and resentments?" Her gentle gaze followed his movements as she softly laughed and said, "In the past, I always thought that Cui Shunhua's world had no advantages, but now I realize that it does have its benefits. I met Wei Chi Ge, didn't I?"

"Alright, everyone, you may disperse now." Shunhua felt extremely embarrassed. She had accidentally fallen asleep alone, yet it made everyone too afraid to move. It was getting late, and everyone had been accompanying her here, enjoying the breeze for such a long time.

The pavilion was quiet for a while again, as she happily rested in his embrace, her lips gently kissing his collar, and he softly said

After the passing of her beloved grandfather, Bai Qi was too busy to allow the male servant to carry her to the tree for a while. He specifically expanded her bedroom into a separate room, yet she still harbored a small regret in her heart, especially during the last year. Clearly, she could have walked out of the room in good health to see every corner of the Bai residence, but due to being poisoned to death, she had no opportunity to see the pond in the courtyard again

In Bai Qi's heart, he feared that he would always long for Shunhua to be able to get out of bed and enjoy life... In Bai Qi's heart, he...

Just ?

Hmm. She is still a bit excited

Ying regained his composure and hurriedly said: "Wait a moment..."

This piece is played day after day

The woman's breath gently brushed against Lian Bi's ear, leaving him with a strange feeling. He had never felt this way even when he was close to Cui Shunhua before. He replied calmly: "I heard that she seemed to have been pushed, falling from the second floor. It is true that Young Master Qi saved her in time, but..."

These two characters break the silence in the darkness

Do you want to kiss me

Shunhua let out a sound and said: "This is truly too boring. Breaking her hands so she cannot make a living, making her despair so quickly is too dull. Hehe, why not let her leave in one piece? Let her take all the silver she earned at Chunhui Tower with her. You are not allowed to secretly send someone to deal with her. I see that with her abilities, she won't last long anyway; she will definitely be deceived out of her money... Let her despair day by day. If she really had the ability and thought she could fight me to return to the capital, then I will make her fall from the sky to the underworld. " And added: "I have the final say; no one is allowed to touch her, as it would ruin my fun." I see that with her abilities, she won't last long anyway; she will definitely be deceived out of her money... Let her despair day by day. If she really had the ability and thought she could fight me to return to the capital, then I will make her fall from the sky to the underworld. " And added: "I have the final say; no one is allowed to touch her, as it would ruin my fun."

Shunhua was taken aback and exclaimed, "Isn't that just ... ... "

Lian Bi, please apply the medicine

The Cui residence was already enveloped in the twilight glow. She did not know when she had fallen asleep with her chin resting on her hand. Lianbi and Ying quietly kept watch by her side, while the dancer knelt in a corner, not daring to leave even after finishing her performance. The musician Ran was still playing the piece "There is a Lady in the Car". She remembered that it was after she had relaxed her mind that she had unknowingly dozed off while listening to this soothing melody.

You ... ... '' glared angrily. How dare this eunuch stab a knife directly at his master?

Is that so? That voice faintly carried a hint of laughter. Is this the only level of intimacy allowed?

If Wei Chi Ge were to see me in the Bai residence, you would surely think of me day and night, and would regard the current Shunhua as a demon to be kicked far away to the ends of the earth

... ... desire. She longed for him greatly, and although her lips and tongue were stained with his scent, she acknowledged that the human heart is greedy, and she was even greedier, wanting to consume more of Wei Chi Ge.

Hmm? She thought for a moment. "Considering the days, you really should go and see it."

Shunhua nodded. "You make a very valid point"

No wonder Wei Chi Ge said that she is still a child

Wei Chigong忍笑, gently touched the edge of her wound, and said: "After a while, switch to a medicine for promoting tissue regeneration and scar removal. Even if a scar remains, it will be a very faint mark. As long as you apply some makeup, no one will notice it."

Bai Qi does not agree with her father's approach, believing that it will only harm her health. However, her dear father tells her that even if his daughter becomes a sickly Shunhua for a lifetime, she must maintain an open mind, be straightforward, cheerful, and magnanimous, avoid getting stuck in trivial matters, refrain from harboring resentment, and uphold the reputation of the Xu family.

She randomly wiped away her tears and smiled as she pulled down his neck. "Wei Chi Ge, I am going to kiss you now. This time, I, Shunhua, will add your color to my blank paper, so you better be careful."

Her thoughts were in disarray when she heard him say without turning his head, "Don't follow me." Lian Bi and Ying stopped at the bridgehead. When Shunhua saw Yu Chigong step onto the bridge, her pace quickened slightly. She also noticed that he turned sideways, holding her sleeve, allowing her face to nestle deeper into his embrace, shielding her from the rain.

Upon hearing this, Shunhua could not help but let out a loud moan. Even if Weichi Ge wanted her to look up, she refused! She truly saw it! She truly saw it! Clearly possessing a beauty peak yet not being a beauty, this was her lifelong disgrace! Since not every woman with that beauty peak is a beauty, then who on earth called it a beauty peak?

With slender eyebrows and narrow eyes, the corners of the eyes slightly raised, the beautiful eyes resembling water with a smile, lips slightly thick, and a widow's peak on the forehead, is it not

The musician raised his head to glance at her, but upon meeting the indifferent gaze of Captain Chi Gong, he immediately lowered his head again

The performers of the Northern Tang are considered lowly individuals, yet there exists a hierarchy among them. For someone like Cui Shunhua, hailing from a prestigious and wealthy family, it is certainly possible to invite well-connected masters to teach her. Moreover, Lian Bi felt a slight confusion; in the past, Cui Shunhua merely regarded the performers as tools to enhance the enjoyment of banquets, without ever sharing in their joy. She once stated that a person's status is earned through their own efforts, and when one reaches a high position, they should not allow lowly individuals to approach them. The intricacies of human nature are such that too much contact with those of low status can lead to initial respect, but ultimately, they will come to believe that they too can occupy your position. She reiterated that a person's status is earned through their own efforts, and when one reaches a high position, they should not allow lowly individuals to approach them. The intricacies of human nature are such that too much contact with those of low status can lead to initial respect, but ultimately, they will come to believe that they too can occupy your position.

She is aware that prominent and wealthy families have many rules, but to be so terrified of a head of the household that she does not dare to make any changes at all, Cui Shunhua is the first to do so

The dancers were extremely nervous, stammering in their responses. Later, I heard what she said, and they danced stiffly. Cui Shunhua also blended in, dancing exuberantly alongside them.

Shunhua was secretly astonished. Weichi Gong was infatuated with the lady, whom she had seen in "The Four Seasons of the Capital". It was precisely because the term "infatuation" was used that she supported Weichi Ge. ... But later ... After she became Cui Shunhua, she had never heard anyone use the term "infatuation" to describe Weichi Ge's feelings for the lady.

Shunhua noticed that his complexion was slightly pale, and although his demeanor had become calm, there was still a slight tremor. She diverted his attention and said, "The one called Qing'e at Chunhui Tower, is she still in Chunhui Tower?"

Do not think of Bai Qi

Then, you two should collaborate. The funding will come from the Cui family, with one book published each month, and it will be absolutely authentic

There is a bit. " She choked back tears

Indeed. Miss Yi Ren, is she not the woman whom Wei Chi has been infatuated with? How is it that within just a few days, she has turned her affections towards our master? After all, Miss Yi Ren is an orphan, and cannot be compared to our master, can she?" Lian Bi said with a smile. The implication was that Wei Chi Gong's approach to Cui Shunhua was entirely due to considerations of social standing.

Anyone who has ever been a performer is strictly prohibited from holding official positions in Beitang, considered to be of the lower social class. Shunhua had not encountered this before, so she naturally did not think much of it. Now, in her eyes, these individuals are also people, with no distinction of high or low. They play the qin beautifully, and their dancing is refreshing and uplifting. A few days ago, she noticed a musician among them who was composing to the point of madness, rolling on the ground, completely forgetting that she was present. ... They are all living beings ...! ... They are the ones that the past Cui Shunhua and the present Xu Shunhua should protect!

Lian Bi maintained a calm expression and said: "While our master is bedridden and exhausted, Wei Chi Dangjia has taken the opportunity to seize control of the Cui residence, not considering that our master has his heart set on the eldest son of the Qi family..."

Shunhua Smile

Describe your original appearance

At that time, he watched her drink poison with wide-open eyes. With each bowl she drank, she drew closer to her death, yet he had to endure and silently allow her to be slowly poisoned to death. No wonder... No wonder he was so...

Shunhua had a meal, gazing at Lianbi

Her heart sank, and she forced herself to say: "This is not good... this... other methods require undressing, no matter what, we can't show each other before marriage, right?" She was rambling.

Having finished her speech, she felt like a fierce northern tiger, pouncing passionately to kiss until she was thoroughly satisfied, kissing to the point where every beautiful scene they had witnessed, whether it was the past Xu Shunhua or the present Cui Shunhua, flowed anew in her heart.

Wei Chigong sensed the disappointment of the person in his arms and gently patted her back in a comforting manner. He did not wish to share any unnecessary matters with Shunhua

No need. In the future... I think the feelings have faded, and there is no need to stay in touch. Yes, she thinks she still has future matters to discuss, but Bai Qi and she have become estranged. After all, in Bai Qi's eyes, she is merely Cui Shunhua.

"Yuchi Ge, how long have you been here?" she asked the tall man beside her

The painting left by Bai Qi, while skillfully executed, clearly reveals to the discerning eye that the artist poured a great deal of emotion and tenderness into it, leading him to instinctively guess that the figure depicted is the true likeness of Shunhua

The servant of the Weichi family was stunned

When I arrived, your maid was just bringing you medicine to drink

There was no misunderstanding at home. The musician avoided her gaze, his ears turning red.

You have heard a great deal of things

Shunhua pondered for a moment and said: "I think it would be better to... to drive her out of the capital. As long as I, Cui Shunhua, am in the capital for a day, she shall not be allowed to make a living here. What do you think?"

After a while, Yuchi Gong gently pulled down her hands, slowly stood up straight, and then helped her sit up. He carefully adjusted her collar to cover her slightly exposed skin, lightly touched her burning cheeks, and his dark eyes were filled with tenderness as he used his long fingers to smooth her disheveled hair.

Did the head of the family not see the entanglements within? If this matter is true, then it is evident that Young Master Qi is astute in knowing that it was the young lady herself who orchestrated this.

She turned to the still-kneeling Lian Bi, contemplated for a moment, sat back on the brocade cushion, took a deep breath, and extended her right arm

"What book is being published?" Lian Bi asked in confusion

"Lian Bi must follow the instructions... I will apply the medicine for the master now."

I have been applying medicine for Master Cui every day, and I have long since become skilled at it, so I won't hurt Master Cui. Those below should still stick to their duties and not recklessly seek to take credit for others' work. Ying said softly, while subtly glancing at the medicines to confirm whether they were indeed for knife wounds

Bai Qi has faced such Shunhua for more than ten years

Dear Wei Chi Ge, I have wanted this for a long time... Can I really do something else

Lian Bi followed her gaze and saw the other performers practicing their dance. He replied:

She gently rubbed against his clothes, fully aware that her actions were somewhat childish, but she believed that Wei Chi Ge would not dislike it. She smiled and looked up, saying:

She steadied herself and said hoarsely

When I first met this reborn Shunhua, I felt that this girl was like a child, like a blank sheet of paper. So pure that she understood nothing, so easily ruined in the world of noble families and wealthy households. Later, I discovered that she held a pen in her hand, bravely taking on every color on the white paper named Shunhua without evasion. This Shunhua of the Xu family is truly remarkable, never tarnishing the name of the Xu family... Shunhua, does it hurt when I gently press on your wound with my finger?

Oh... you are right. Shunhua suddenly realized. She found the inconsistency; in "The Four Seasons of the Capital," she watched six episodes in a row, and until next spring, she had not read about Yiren marrying Qi Yuming in the book. This means that Qi Yuming ultimately set aside his feelings for Yiren, even when he saw her with her hair down, for the sake of social status and benefits.

Shunhua found herself being pulled into his embrace. He wrapped his outer robe around her tightly. Shunhua could still feel the warmth and the scent of soap through the fabric, smiling contentedly as she buried her face in his chest, her arms encircling his waist

He said softly, "If I don't press, you will cry, and the wound will hurt even more if it gets soaked with tears"

She is so embarrassed! She wants to be the eternal beauty in his heart! To hell with Bai Qi, why did he have to paint her!

The two individuals felt a chill run down their spines under her gaze, and even Bi voiced her doubts, saying, "Master?"

At the very least, her heart is not with Wei Chi Dangjia. Lian Bi cast a half-smiling glance at Ying.

Lian Bi knelt down carefully on the ground, applying the medicine with great caution. Ying also stepped forward quietly, her hand resting on the dagger at her waist. The wound was too close to her eyes; it would be quite simple for someone to intentionally sprinkle the powder into Cui Shunhua's eyes or to poke at her eyes with their fingers. He truly could not understand why Cui Shunhua was so audacious as to allow a eunuch whom she had once harmed to come so close.

Ying gritted his teeth in the dark, squinting and glaring at Lian Bi's triumphant smile. He had fallen into the trap set by this eunuch, who actually managed to extract the name of the young lady from him.

Shunhua let out a sigh and asked, "What are they dancing?"

Lian Bi stared at the medicinal powder and naturally asked again, "The person from Nanlin that the master knows must be extremely important to you. Should I arrange for someone to go to Nanlin to invite them for a visit and reminisce?"

Shunhua was also taken aback for a moment, and then said with a fierce expression and angry eyes

No, I am asking, who said the phrase "痴恋"?

"If I accidentally see you in the Bai residence, what will you do?" he suddenly asked

Without even looking at him, Lian Bi turned to Shunhua and smiled, saying, "Master, I am a eunuch, not considered a man. It would be inappropriate for me to touch the hand of the master. After all, Weichi is the master and a man, which is more appropriate."

"Bai Qi... taught me painting." After Bai Qi, a noble who fell into exile in Nanlin, he naturally understood many refined things. However, she thought that this was Bai Qi's private matter and she couldn't mention it on his behalf.

His gaze paused for a moment, then glanced at her.

Every afternoon, while the other performers practice their dance a little further away, the musician Yan Jiu sits in front of her, playing the piece "You Nu Tong Che" from the Great Wei. When he reaches the line "Her beauty rivals that of the blooming flowers," he notices a smile at the corner of her mouth and a sparkle in her eyes that is brighter than usual, and he knows that they have made the right bet.

The Englishman beside him moved his lips but did not dare to speak up

A gentle afternoon breeze blew towards Shunhua, who slightly squinted her beautiful eyes. The green lake shimmered with light, and the willows hung gracefully to the ground. The sound of the zither was pleasant to the ears, bringing a sense of tranquility that made one forget both honor and disgrace. For a moment, she felt the illusion that being able to enjoy this scene in this lifetime left her with no regrets.

No... Lián Bì took a deep breath and smiled at her, saying, "I'm just touched that Dāng Jiā is willing to let me administer the medicine."

"Was said casually before taking charge, has the one in charge forgotten?" Lian Bi laughed.

Oh. The four prominent wealthy families in the capital have interactions with each other; unless Bai Qi lives in the mansion for his entire life, there will be quite a few opportunities for them to meet.

Thanks to her non-aristocratic background, she can endure the gaze of all the men at Chunhui Tower when she lets her hair down. Shunhua herself doesn't have any special feelings towards Qi Yuming, but upon hearing this, she can't help but feel a bit disgusted.

Shunhua's heart was filled with intoxication, like a gentle spring flowing in, permeating every limb and bone, bringing her a deep sense of relief from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Chi Gong walked up to her and stared at her without blinking. After a while, he said, "Shunhua, let me see how your medicine is working." He gently lifted her chin and looked closely at the area under her eyes.

I... I have a growth medicine, yes, I have... it can... completely... get better...

Shunhua was taken aback, staring at the delicate and beautiful Lianbi. She thought that under no circumstances would Lianbi ever say that she was not a man, as it would damage his self-esteem... Could it be that during these days, she had been so guarded against him that he noticed, and was willing to say such words?

In the darkness, a man's palm gently caressed her cheek.

Now... she saw it again.

She reached out and gently encircled his waist with her hand, without looking at him again, she removed the hairpin from her hair, allowing her black hair to cascade down in front of him.

What... wait, being in charge... Lian Bi watched as she walked towards those actors.

... No, there isn't... How could it be? It just startled Lianbi, who thought it was just a knife wound. Who knew it was Lian, Lian... He hurried to get medicine and sprinkle it on.

This morning, I encountered Bai Qi

Shunhua's shoulders softened, turning into a puddle of soft water, relying on him to hide away from people. Needless to say, if Bai Qi wins, it is definitely a deliberate demonstration by Bai Qi to showcase his exquisite painting skills by depicting ordinary characters to intimidate the painter.

The eyes can speak, but she doesn't possess this skill. Hasn't she just locked eyes with Bai Qi? She desperately demands him to speak out about the matter of engagement, but he seems to not understand, indicating that not everyone possesses this skill.

"......The young lady must be very fond of Qi Yuming." She murmured.

Lián Bì deftly wrapped the bandage around her and took a glance at her right arm before closing the bandage. He obediently replied, "I will carry out the order of my master. I will send someone to break her hands so that she can never play the piano again. Then, I will drive her out of the capital and make sure she wanders in the countryside, living a life worse than death."

She couldn't help but look around. It's been a long time... really a long time since she noticed the beautiful scenery around her.

She was taken aback. Could there be another kind of kinship law? She... she pretended to understand, chuckled twice.

English disapprovingly said: "A man should not marry until he finds the right woman. As the head of the household, I cannot be inferior to Mr. Qi, let alone Mr. Qi still has a lady..."

Shunhua was slightly startled. This time, Yuchi's kiss was different. At least, the way he kissed her was quite different. The warm breath of the man fell into her lips without leaking a trace. Shunhua blushed instantly and wished she could hide in a hole.

During the first half hour, the dancers were stiff and off-beat. Later, it was discovered that the head of the Cui family was not awkward in his dancing. The thirteen-year-old dancer had only been there for less than a year, unaware of Cui Shunhua's severity. Soon, she was able to coordinate seamlessly with him, and the other dancers noticed that she enjoyed it, gradually regaining her flexibility.

Shunhua hurriedly said, "No, that...". These prestigious and wealthy families! No wonder there are endless gossips about them, they don't even bother to censor their words!

Shunhua smiled and said with a grin:

Shouldn't it be time to change the medicine when you are in charge at home?

Lian Bi nodded. "On the day when there were so many guests at Chunhui Tower, there were just as many people who went to see her. Fortunately, Young Master Qi was also there. He promptly tied up her long hair and instructed the maidservants not to spread the news. It was thanks to Young Master Qi's prestigious and wealthy background that this information did not leak out. Everyone had to give him face."

What a gentle feeling, she might think that Brother Weichi deliberately chose this time to bring her to the pavilion, deliberately lit the lamps on the four corners of the pavilion, deliberately let the fluttering curtains sway in the wind.

Shunhua, Shunhua?

Now she has figured it out. People are all the same. No matter how she tries to be nice to those people, they will still suspect her ulterior motives and try to harm her at every turn. It's not until she plays her cards that they start to realize their dreams. These cunning people are the best examples, so she handles them all the same way.

Did she misunderstand before? Or is Brother Yuchi too unrestrained? His lips and tongue actively entangled in her mouth, swirling and grinding, the heat intensifying layer by layer; at first, she hesitated, but her whole body was pressed against his palm, not allowing her to retreat. Then, she realized that this person was Brother Yuchi, the person she loved the most in her heart. With this thought, her fear disappeared, and she tried to kiss him back lightly.

Shunhua gently touched his lips again, her hands wrapping around the back of his head, her fingers brushing against his hairpin. Her bright eyes met his dark ones, and he remained silent, staring intently at her.

"Last month was the Beitang Dance, and this time we are practicing the Nanlin Dance"

I almost forgot, how is she? Did Qi Yuming save her in "Four Seasons in Beijing"?

There was a girl riding in the same carriage as me, her face as beautiful as the blooming hibiscus flowers. Her graceful figure and light footsteps resembled a bird in flight. The jade she wore on her body emitted a radiant glow. Indeed, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was truly beautiful and elegant. There was a girl walking alongside me, her face as beautiful as the blooming jin flowers. Her graceful figure and light footsteps resembled a bird in flight. The jade she wore on her body jingled with every step she took. This eldest daughter of the Jiang family was not only beautiful on the outside but also possessed a beautiful heart, leaving an unforgettable impression on me... As she sang, she laughed joyfully. Suddenly, she noticed that the music had become softer and the musician seemed distracted. She turned to the musician and asked, "Is this the song you told me about, 'A Girl Riding in the Same Carriage'? Did I misunderstand? I remember you said that in Da Wei, it is considered a good tune for a beautiful girl getting married."

With a loud bang, it seemed like a corner of the lamp outside the pavilion went out, making the inside of the pavilion even darker. It was so dark that she couldn't see him clearly, but she could still vividly carve out every expression of Brother Yuchi in her mind and heart.

He looked into her unguarded beautiful eyes, his heart skipped a beat, instinctively avoiding her gaze. He applied the medicine and said

Sorry, I cannot perform the translation as there is no content provided to translate.

The musician repeatedly played the same piece, and as he began again, Shunhua's lips curled into a smile as she lightly tapped the table, singing cheerfully.

In the last year when Xu Shi Shunhua was unable to go out, she once again beheld such beautiful scenery... This view flowed into her heart, reconstructing beautiful images within her mind.

She touched his warm and cool lips again and again, smiling as she asked:

He paused for a moment before saying: "Portrait of a Beauty"

With his eyes fixed on Lian Bi, he carefully unwrapped the white cloth on her arm. He took out a porcelain bottle, shook out the medicine powder, and the music started again on the side.

She thought, this must be how the wealthy and prestigious families behave, just like now... In front of such a large crowd, he is carrying her like this, and surprisingly no one is saying anything. It seems that this is likely a normal behavior among the wealthy and prestigious families

Shunhua frowned. "So bad? I was born this way, what can I do?"

Shunhua clapped once and laughed happily, saying, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Both of you have been following the wealthy and prestigious families for many years, and you know quite a lot about the secrets of the four major families." Surprised and delighted, surprised and delighted!

The sound of the qin suddenly stopped. The musician placed the qin on the grass and knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

Shunhua was delighted in his heart, but also felt a little confused. Although he had kissed him to his heart's content, waves of longing still came over him.

Shunhua noticed that his speech was trembling and it seemed unusual, even Ying who was guarding Lianbi and monitoring the entire process felt strange. Shunhua asked, "Lianbi, what's wrong with you?"

The musician paused for a moment and asked instinctively:

She stood under the tree and watched for a long time.

He and Miss Liu from the Liu family are about to become a couple. Since Liu Yeyue intends to harm Xushi Shunhua, it is difficult to guarantee that Bai Qi will not slip up and let Liu Yeyue harm her again.

"It's better to stop the tears first," he reminded with a smile.

Shunhua was taken aback and said, "Did it... rain?" Fine drizzle fell on her face as she looked up at the sky, coincidentally meeting his half-lowered eyes. Looking up from below, she could only feel that his eyelashes were black and long, contrasting with his dark and deep eyes. Shunhua's heart beat slightly faster, feeling as if his eyes could speak.

Has he taught you painting? The first step to enter the Bai Family Painting Studio is to compete with the Bai Family painters and gain their recognition before being able to enter the studio. Bai Qi is currently painting a picture of a girl playing in the water. Shunhua, have you ever played in the water before?

In the end, Ying could not help but join the discussion on the insider secrets, softly stating: "This matter cannot be confirmed, as the esteemed individuals present are unwilling to acknowledge it. However... unless one is born into a naturally wealthy family, the inherent nobility makes them concerned about the issue of hair binding. Otherwise, for women born into generally lower social strata, finding food to eat is more important, and they would not care much about whether they must marry a man who has seen them with their hair down"

The played melody was out of tune, and the musician glanced at her face before quickly pulling his gaze back, focusing solely on the instrument.

The Bai family owns a painting tower, and there are often painters who come to offer their services. Coincidentally, when a painter came to offer his services today, Bai Qi happened to be present. This painter had traveled from a small country to the north of Tang to make a living, and he had studied the art of painting in the north of Tang. He confidently painted a portrait of a woman, but it failed to catch Bai Qi's eye.

She was about to say with a smile, "What beautiful long hair, I've seen it all, I think I'm responsible," but before she could finish her sentence, she was kissed back.

The sound of the zither came to an abrupt halt, leaving the musician in a daze

Shunhua felt that something was not quite right. What exactly was not right...

How could Shunhua not know that the wealthy young master of the Beitang family, with a fortune of a thousand gold, has already engaged in marital relations before the wedding, which would not attract any criticism? In fact, it is customary for engaged couples to find an opportunity to undress and examine each other closely before the wedding to avoid any hidden ailments. Shunhua, when do you think we should undress?
