Chapter 10, I have an irresistible charm.
Having not received a response, she looked around and realized that Emperor Zhao Yuan had already walked far away and showed no intention of returning. Thus, she no longer hesitated and decisively set off to leave.
The mahjong player covered their face, unwilling to look at it, continuing to maintain their usual tactic of "I didn't say anything, I didn't see anything, I know nothing"
Are you saying that even if I die, there will still be beautiful palace maids to take care of you
Could she really be that foolish
She carefully picked up a stick, took the candlestick from the table and lightly toasted it, examining it for a moment before softly saying: "Indeed, it aligns with the celestial phenomena; the calamity of death has already moved away from my life palace, and this life of mine is finally preserved"
Xue Wen furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Princess Danli, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
The mahjong tiles were huddled together, allowing her to tug at the skin on the back of my head, yet I still trembled and meowed incessantly.
Silence
Is it done
The Mahjong tile lifted its tail and strode boldly past the edge of the quilt, arriving at her pillow.
Dan Li seemed startled, and her eyes shifted from being narrowed into a slit to their normal state
What are you saying
Although the Nine Sovereigns can calculate the future trajectories of all 108 main stars, it indeed consumes the practitioner's vital energy, and currently, one should not overreach.
Mahjong
... ...
The icicles hanging from the eaves glisten, and the remaining snow has not melted in the slightest
After his departure, the Fengxian Hall was filled with an eerie silence, as everyone exchanged glances, each lost in their own thoughts, yet none could find the words to speak.
Dan Jia was filled with both shock and anger, yet could not retreat, leaving the two of them momentarily in an ambiguous situation
This is the yarrow stalk used in divination and fortune-telling
Dan Li's eyelids began to droop again, and even his voice became sluggish and muddled
Truly shameless
Observing the celestial phenomena? Are you trying to deceive me? Clearly, I was about to sleepwalk!
After a moment, one of them could no longer contain himself and attempted to whisper, "Princess... Princess Danli?"
Dan Li felt the warmth in her chest and squeezed it tighter, creating an incredibly cozy atmosphere between her and the cat
She gazed with a dazed expression at the palace maid beside her, completely oblivious to the piercing gazes surrounding her
In the next moment, she roared in silence
Do not worry, I will not die
Emperor Zhao Yuan extended his hand, grasping Dan Jia's chin, forcing her to lift her head, and he gazed at her with unrestrained scrutiny
Dan Li abruptly lifted it from the blanket, and the expression on his face could be described as strange and twisted
The palace maids frowned in silence, yet they did not dare to urge her, so they could only stand there foolishly with her
It rolled into a ball, and a tiger leaped into Dan Li's embrace
What kind of tricks is she up to again, is she planning to sleep while standing up
This answer was clear and resounding, leaving Xue Wen speechless with its justified confidence
The north wind continues to blow, yet the night sky appears quite clear, with stars faintly visible in half of the celestial dome
You foolish cat that only eats inside and digs outside
The two harbored deep resentment, yet they saw Dan Li continue to rush forward, as if she were about to leap onto her own bed.
Dan Li had already reached the front of the palace gate, and without turning her head, she said: "There is no way, I stayed up too late last night"
A cold wind blew past the noses of the three individuals, making them feel so chilly that they wanted to sneeze
Dan Li walked along the palace path, followed by two palace maids under her command
I was just observing the celestial phenomena, and for a moment, my mind became a bit muddled
She wishes she could peel off this layer of skin
Although the food I cooked tastes very good, there is too little of it, and it is gone after eating... The beautiful palace maid brings over a dozen varieties every day, which is truly delightful
The two secretly grumbled, yet still patiently said: "Your Highness, this is on the way back to the palace."
She took a breath, her slightly rough breathing causing the mahjong tiles curled up in the corner of the bed to emit a prolonged "meow" sound.
At this moment, a yawn was heard; although it was not loud, it was exceptionally abrupt in the surrounding silence
Meow
Dan Li stopped in his tracks, his gaze somewhat bewildered as he looked towards the horizon, gradually, even his eyes began to take on a fixed stare
Casting aside this incomprehensible remark, he turned and left. At the moment the palace gate opened, the night breeze lifted his garments, revealing his tall and imposing figure, which exuded a serene and tranquil aura.
Princess Danjia finally caught her breath, her tone flat yet laced with an uncontainable icy anger
A silence filled with murderous intent
She was merely speaking the truth, but the phrase "sleeping too late" carried a different kind of ambiguous meaning in the ears of the crowd
She surveyed her surroundings and asked, "Where are we?"
Though it is a jest, when heard in the dark of night, it carries a unique sense of sorrow and solitude
Ah!
... ...
Such tenderness and caution, bordering on a desperate piety
Dan Ying scolded with a flushed face
Her jaw, where he had just applied force, turned red with extreme shame
... ...
Meow—Meow—
Dan, feeling drowsy after finishing a yawn, then realized that all those gazes were once again focused on him.
Dan Jia did not speak again, but if one were to look closely at her eyes, they burned with a cold flame of mixed hatred and anger
The mahjong tiles emitted a long, plaintive sound.
On the day the palace fell, leaving this place was as easy as turning my hand. However, it was precisely for the glimmer of life indicated in the divination that I chose to go against the grain and remain in this most perilous location—where adversity turns to prosperity. Indeed, it has proven to be true.
The only ripple just now was merely this stubborn, tearful expression, overlapping with the memories.
Go back to sleep
Aside from eating and drinking, and then sleeping, the daily life of this princess is quite simple
The letter in Danjia's palm was pierced by her nails due to her fear, yet she still held it tightly, as if grasping a piece of driftwood beside her
This grass is a pale gray color, already withered. Upon closer inspection, one can see the soft hairs on the stem, which are white and smooth
After boasting about herself, she let out a sigh, dipped her fingertips in water, and was about to meticulously calculate and analyze on the table, when she suddenly felt a wave of discomfort in her chest, and a mouthful of blood surged up, nearly causing her to vomit.
The warm and soft fluffy cat rubbed against her chest a few times, as if to offer comfort
Xue Wen's expression was strange, his lips twitching, yet he continuously coughed to cover it up
Similar to a certain kind of animal
In the eyes of Emperor Zhao Yuan, there was no trace of affection, not even a hint of the passionate desire that had been present the night before. He gazed deeply at Dan Jia, with a cold and profound demeanor—such was the gaze of a man examining an object of his interest
Dan Li surprisingly understood its meaning, and the more she repeated it, the more her tone became eerie and menacing
He immediately released his grip, allowing the woman before him to look at him with eyes filled with fear and resentment
The beauty of the princess is indeed as described in the legends
The small note in her palm had already softened into a layer; she used her sleeve to conceal it, raising it to her cheek and gently pressing it against her skin, as if she could draw strength from it
A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of her lips, and under the light, it revealed an indescribable cunning pride
Oh, this is good
Emperor Zhao Yuan let out a light laugh, seemingly amused yet also self-mocking. Before him was a stunningly beautiful face, yet it could not reflect even the slightest trace in his eyes.
Hastily finishing her washing up, Dan slipped into the warm and smooth silk quilt, yet did not fall asleep. Instead, she pulled out a handful of grass from beneath her pillow.
This is, after all, a place dedicated to the spirits of our ancestors, yet you are dozing off here
The sound of laughter is particularly clear in the dark night, "If I were to die, no one would feed you anymore..."
She was instantly reminded of that man's gaze by the phrase "slept too late"
