Chapter 7
The consequence of roll call in class is that upon hearing one's name called, one must respond immediately
At first glance, it was an encounter, a momentary lapse in judgment, destined to lead Fei Yan to her subsequent downfall
Fei Yan sighed softly after waiting for a long time without receiving a response
If you have not finished reading, why not study diligently and delve deeper
The young lady is experiencing her first night of service, and she feels somewhat apprehensive.
It is one thing for this word to appear in others, but for it to appear in the heart of the Cloud Emperor is quite abnormal, extremely abnormal
Tonight, let Jiang Jieyu serve as my bed companion
Severe penalties and oppression of the weak by the ignorant
Eunuch Gui spoke for a moment, then turned around and saw the girl still standing in place. He smiled broadly and said, "Lady Jiang"
He looked at the Cloud Emperor in astonishment. The latter's composed brows and eyes resembled the purest, coldest jade, exuding an aura of unyielding authority even in indifference, causing Chaoyan's heart to tremble momentarily, making her dare not meet his gaze directly, and she could only respond with a serious expression.
Where did the Empress hear these words from
For some reason, Fei Yan's heart suddenly began to beat violently and uncontrollably
This journey seems to have been exceedingly long
What?
Fei Yan's eyes sparkle like stars on the horizon, pure and clear
A multitude of people knelt in layers around, collectively exclaiming: "We respectfully welcome Your Majesty!"
He is her husband, yet he is not solely her husband
The Cloud Emperor's narrowed eyes glinted coldly, suddenly exuding an overwhelming aura that pressured those around him
The clear and melodious voice of the woman is like a yellow oriole emerging from the valley, accompanied by the pure sound of the pan flute
Do you not know either
Her first half of life, which was scorned from childhood to adulthood, combined with the second half of her life, which was also met with disdain after her time travel, has resulted in the inexplicable inferiority she now experiences
The snow-white skirt drags on the ground, and the stunning beauty bows her head in reverence
Xiao Feiyan, however, listened with trepidation, almost wanting to flee.
These things, when seen too often, become a poison; when seen too infrequently, they are looked down upon
The gentleman asked me to summarize, so I summarized. What is wrong with that?
She cast a mournful glance at the scattered books on the floor, while the elderly gentleman assigned to teach her was observing the chaos with a furrowed brow, his graying beard trembling slightly in his agitation.
Turning back, a stunningly beautiful woman, as lovely as the moon, with a pair of star-like beautiful eyes, was slowly gliding away from me. The visitor walked with a grace reminiscent of swaying willow branches, exuding an indescribable elegance and nobility
Feng Linghong let out a cold snort, considering the young girl to be overly ambitious yet lacking in ability, indulging in play and merely using words to silence him. Thus, he raised an eyebrow and coldly laughed, saying: "Since the Empress already knows the contents of these books, why not share them with us?"
She, she, she is only fifteen years old, and she does not want to serve in the bedchamber, regardless of whether it is the imperial bedchamber or any other.
The Huijuan Pond, such a beautiful place, has been turned into a mess by your antics
A cold snort escaped, and if the gaze of the Cloud Emperor that had just now been mocking had merely been a form of derision, it had now escalated to contempt.
It seems that Lord Hong is quite fond of Master Jiang
She pressed her slightly pale lips together, secretly gripping the hand of the young eunuch who was supporting her, and tried to take a deep breath. With a face as white as a sheet, she asked, "Your Majesty... has always disliked me. Did the eunuch perhaps convey the wrong imperial edict?"
Go home
The girl before me, though seemingly innocent and naive, possesses a pair of eyes that are clear and flawless. Most women in the palace are quite scheming, constantly vying for favor, their thoughts convoluted; however, the second daughter of the Xiahou family is different
The dilapidated house, under the skilled hands of the palace maids, gradually regains its former splendor and opulence, becoming increasingly exquisite and magnificent.
At this moment, the eunuchs had finished preparing the palace, and the entire Jiang Pavilion looked completely new, resembling a newlywed's chamber. A rich and fragrant aroma wafted through the air, refreshing and invigorating, and just the act of inhaling it made one's face flush and heart race
Speak
It is often said that being close to the ruler is like being close to a tiger; the thoughts of the king are difficult to fathom. What he may dislike today, he might find pleasing tomorrow. Ah, such favoritism, it may very well return again.
Crimson
His cold and scornful voice was as frigid as ice and snow, piercing through the heart like a needle. Fei Yan involuntarily shivered, taking a long time to realize that he was speaking to her
Accompanying her praises was the unexpected sound of Feiyan's stomach rumbling "gulu gulu".
The voice is somewhat youthful, bright and pleasing to the ear
Generational gap, this is undoubtedly a generational gap. A gap of three years constitutes a generational divide, and they are separated by an entire temporal space from her; the height of this generational gap is beyond comprehension!
He paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, if Your Highness finds it simple, you may summarize it in just eight characters."
How many lives does she have to play with, being so disrespectful to the King of Cangyuan
In his view, it is not necessarily the case
The scenery of the Huiyuan Pond is so beautiful, resembling the colors of a painting, captivating beyond measure. Your Majesty need not be angry; instead, let this humble servant perform a dance. Your Majesty may then see whether the beauty of the scenery surpasses that of the dancer.
It is actually a spring palace painting
Someone curled their lips and reluctantly uttered two words. Upon hearing the answer, Yun Huang's expression grew increasingly sullen.
She would rather let Yun Huang Du Ziten continue to treat her as if she were invisible; although she drifts through her days in uncertainty, at least she finds joy in her leisure.
Another one, who was despised by the Cloud Emperor, was the concubine Xiahou Jiang, whose bedding was thrown into what is suspected to be the cold palace.
She responded languidly here, and as soon as the words were spoken, Feng Linghong's brows immediately furrowed tightly
She looked up at the sky, the sun was slanting to the west, nodding her head slightly, obediently following him as they left together
Du Zitong took a deep breath, attempting to calm the sudden anger that had arisen within him
Du Zitang's handsome face turned pale and then flushed, as he looked down condescendingly at the little girl beneath him, a disdainful snort escaping his nostrils, "Xiahou Jiang, do you have nothing to say?"
What kind of person is Yun Huang really
In the blink of an eye, the young girl's mindset had completely adjusted.
Her movements are extraordinarily graceful, as if they were a splendid fireworks display, blooming before Feiyan in a succession of unparalleled brilliance, dazzling to the eye, with heights and depths clearly visible
Zhaoyan was so astonished that she could not close her mouth.
As the words fell, the Cloud Emperor tightened his grip on the broken branch, allowing the rough bark to rub against his palm, producing a slight stinging sensation. He let out a cold snort from his nostrils, remaining silent.
A tug-of-war in the realm of psychology
Elder Gui explained with a smile, appearing as a seasoned individual, speaking with earnestness and depth of feeling
Seeing that she did not respond, Eunuch Gui assumed that the young girl was simply shy. He secretly slipped a book into her palm and gave her a meaningful smile.
The words, clearly indulgent and licentious, seem ordinary when spoken by such an exotic woman
It is the subordinate who has overstepped the bounds
He has always been cautious and careful; how could he forget even this matter?
Since even the old master thinks she is good, then he should personally destroy her
The young girl stammered, stunned by the stern gaze of the old eunuch. She could only awkwardly bend down to pick up the spring palace book, turning her eyes away, unwilling to look at the two naked bodies entwined on the cover. She murmured, "I apologize for any offense earlier, and I hope you will forgive me, Master, and not be angry."
The Cloud Emperor's long arm reached out, gripping her head, and his thin lips suddenly pressed against the red lips of the girl in his embrace
I shall escort you back to the palace
Even the palace maids and eunuchs spoke of him as merely an old man who came here to teach, thus treating him with disdain. However, Xiahou Jiang, unaware of his true identity, continued to show him utmost respect.
At the forefront is the Cloud Emperor Du Ziteng, who tightens his thin lips, his long fingers gripping a broken branch. Scattered beneath his feet are a few green leaves, indicating that his complexion is not very good.
He tightened his grip on her chin, forcing her to raise her eyes to meet his. Fei Yan hesitated for a moment, her gaze becoming complicated, and after a long while, she could not utter a single word
The noble lady attends to the bedchamber
These words, he did not even dare to think, yet they were so simply revealed by the girl before him
He smiled as if enchanted by magic
Even without thinking about it, that young man with a handsome face, soft skin, and expressive eyes is so outstanding, and there are so many women who admire him. They are all exceptionally beautiful, entwined with him in a passionate romance, envying only the couple in love and not the immortals.
As he hesitated, the Cloud Emperor approached slowly.
Fifteen years old is the most wonderful age in modern times, where one can go crazy with friends at school, carefree and oblivious to the passage of time, joyfully allowing the moments to fly by and the years to settle.
Fei Yan looked at the scene before her, as if struck by lightning
The person was not well taught by him, yet he himself was quite upset
Who is Yun Huang
The old maid who caught Fei Yan heard the noise and was immediately frightened to the point of turning pale, disregarding the little thief who was stealing food, and hurriedly fell to the ground, exclaiming, "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live for ten thousand years!"
What should I say
Since returning from Huijuan Pond that day, she has remained in a state of mental fatigue
Yet when she smiles, it is radiant and bright
Fei Yan hurriedly jumped up, flustered as she helped him tidy up, repeatedly saying: "Sir, you are elderly; I can handle this, you just sit aside and rest."
Due to a close friendship with Xiahou Wen, I was willing to lower my status and intended to personally teach Xiahou Jang, the second daughter of the Xiahou family, hoping to guide this unruly and disrespectful young girl onto the right path. However, little did I expect that I would not even last three days here
The setting sun cast a gentle glow, reflecting the shimmering waters of the Huiyuan Pond behind the two figures, growing increasingly distant. Chaoyan led the way ahead, while Feiyan silently followed behind, breaking the silence after a long while.
The other party is merely a fifteen-year-old girl, is it really too much to act this way...?
The old gentleman made it clear that he was being difficult, and with a determined bite of her teeth, Xiao Feiyan succinctly summarized it in eight characters.
At this point, Fei Yan naturally thought of it as well, so as soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately felt that it was quite inappropriate to say so. She couldn't help but bite her own tongue, hoping that the other party hadn't heard what she had said at all
The Crimson Pavilion, far from the Clear Breeze Hall
Feng Linghong seemed to age several years in an instant; he waved his hand, stooped his stiff old body, and went to pick up the scattered books
Eunuch Gui let out a cold snort and did not respond
Having been in the palace for at least thirty years, I have encountered all kinds of concubines. Before entering the palace, they were all young maidens, and during their first time serving in the inner chambers, feeling bashful and their hearts racing, I understand completely.
Feng Linghong, serving as the Grand Tutor, holds a position among the Three Dukes and is a minister of the first rank.
The air in the Huiyuan Pool was suddenly thick with a fragrant and extravagant atmosphere, as if lips and teeth were entwined in a lingering embrace
to ! ''
The former possesses beauty and excels in singing and dancing, with a delicate and intricate mind. She is a stunning woman who captivates at first sight and enchants upon a second encounter, surpassing even the renowned beauty of Cangyuan, Xiahou Qing, in every aspect.
The clear male voice, tinged with an involuntary hint of laughter, abruptly ceased under the gaze of the Cloud Emperor as he swept by.
It is truly ... ... dizzying
Suddenly encountering her astonished and somewhat dazed gaze, he noticed that she was merely a fifteen-year-old girl, of similar age to his own sister. A slight stir arose within him, and he was unexpectedly filled with a sense of compassion, drawing closer and speaking softly
Zhaoyan took two steps back, placing her right hand on her chest, and bowed her head in a standard gesture of a guard.
She hurriedly tossed it aside like a hot potato, jumped back a considerable distance, and stared in horror at the book beneath her feet
Fei Yan has recently been reading a lot of books
Initially, it was indeed out of fear of ghosts that I inadvertently stumbled into the Huiyuan Pool
Fei Yan stared blankly at the busy crowd, taking a long time to regain her senses
He is the king of Cangyuan, the deity of Cangyuan. In modern terms, borrowing a well-known phrase, he is a dazzling gem that shines brilliantly, captivating and enchanting even in his walk.
Have you, Your Highness, finished reading all these books
The red paint on the main door is peeling, revealing an aura of antiquity in every detail.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the door is deserted. The withered grass blades sporadically spring up from the uneven stone slabs, while the dilapidated house has wooden beams protruding at an angle from the eaves, resembling long swords with their edges exposed, corroded by the passage of time, displaying mottled green patina.
To speak or not to speak
Not far away, the morning glory stands waiting on one side
Upon hearing these two words, classmate Fei Yan felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, perceiving countless golden rays of lightning flashing chaotically before her eyes. Meanwhile, unfamiliar palace maids and eunuchs were constantly weaving through the crimson pavilion, arranging the room and adorning it anew.
He wants to personally destroy her smile, simply because that radiant little face stirs an inexplicable flutter in his heart
The old gentleman gazed at the delicate young girl before him, suddenly letting out a long sigh. He casually sat down beside her and scrutinized her from head to toe. Although she appeared to be somewhat dazed and languid, her thoughts were remarkably astute.
Fei Yan stood among them, as if a chess piece had been abruptly thrown into a Go board, regardless of whether this chess piece was a general or a pawn, it was simply displeasing from every angle.
Which concubine would have received such favor from him, would have quietly sent the palace maids to deliver the rewards in silver, yet this girl actually dared to toss aside the book brought by his esteemed Eunuch Gui. For this alone, do not expect him to promote her in the future
She suddenly shivered, shaking her head and rubbing her arms vigorously, trying to dispel her strange thoughts
At first, the young girl was flipping through it with great interest
She raised her eyes playfully and smiled brightly
Unexpectedly
In front of such a beautiful face, Fei Yan suddenly felt a sense of inferiority
As the words fell, the old gentleman's face turned pale, and he staggered back a few steps, clutching his chest. Suddenly, a faint sound of a branch snapping echoed from somewhere.
Although looking somewhat disheveled, a pair of bright, clear eyes rolled around, evoking an involuntary sense of affection in others
His gaze was excessively indifferent and cruel, carrying an indescribable mockery. This finally provoked one of the few feelings of shame in classmate Fei Yan, and she suddenly realized that she looked utterly terrible in this state
This understanding made the young girl feel an impulse to escape
Is your name Zhao Yan
In the future, such words must never be spoken... This is a grave offense that could lead to execution. Fortunately, this time it was only the old minister who heard it, and there was no one else present. If Your Highness truly does not wish to see these, then it is best to discard them.
The second time was at the Xiahou residence, where tokens were exchanged. The little girl actually stuck messy pieces of paper on her face, muttering something about "evil spirits disperse." Does she think she is a demon
The young girl instinctively raised her voice, her tone bright and clear, causing those who heard her to turn around. Stealing a glance at the girl who answered, one could see her face was rosy and tender, still dusted with some gray dirt. She wore a light blue shirt, which had been torn into tatters from her darting about here and there.
The little girl pouted her lips, treating it as a lesson in etiquette. She casually opened her palm to take a look, and with just one glance, before she had even finished flipping through it, her little face suddenly flushed bright red to the tips of her ears
This fall caused her to grimace in pain, tears welling up in her eyes
This is her, who has always been optimistic, sighing for the first time after crossing into the Cangyuan Dynasty, yet she does not know if it will be the last time.
How could it be so much
It turns out that she is the one who was demoted to the rank of Jieyu, Xiahou Jiang
He suddenly felt a sense of sorrowful desolation; the eunuchs and palace maids were all saying that the master of the Scarlet Pavilion was a foolish girl, with clumsy hands and feet, an ordinary appearance, and unable to please the Cloud Emperor, destined to be sent to the cold palace sooner or later
He is not excessive at all; he clearly employs the term "excessive" as if it were a common occurrence. Not to mention actions that are excessive, even those that are more excessive than excessive, he carries them out without batting an eye or losing his breath
"Xiahou Jiang, where are you planning to run off to this time"
The first encounter in the Hall of Light, that bewildered girl descended from the heavens, disrupting his meticulously planned "forced marriage". At that moment, he deeply etched her face into his heart, filled with loathing.
The master jested, although I am indeed old, how could such matters be miscommunicated
This girl is doing well
A single word can wield both grace and authority
Eunuch Gui waved his whisk and let out a sneer, his old crane-like face faintly displaying a hint of ambiguity. He began to speak in a sharp, thin voice, articulating each word carefully.
It cannot be described as stunning, let alone as breathtakingly beautiful, yet this delicate little face brings an inexplicable sense of comfort to those who behold it. Unaccountably, Du Ziten felt a slight tightening in his heart, without even realizing it himself, and he casually let a sentence slip.
bedside service
A phrase inexplicably popped into her mind, and for some reason, it was the four characters "adulterer and adulteress"
Even just hearing the name can provoke a furious outburst
The thought of having to finish so many books made Feiyan unable to contain her frustration
Behind the bushes, two individuals are standing upright
Do not bow down to the powerful, nor be arrogant due to lowly status
Upon seeing her actions, Du Zitong's handsome features immediately darkened by three points.
Such anger surged forth, as if merely looking at this face and hearing that name could easily provoke him to wrath
He suddenly tightened his grip on Fei Yan's wrist, the icy words bursting forth from between his teeth, filled with anger. In those indifferent dark eyes, a storm was brewing.
Lady Jiang
Fei Yan was unaware of what Du Zitang was thinking; she only felt as if someone was watching her from behind. A sudden chill surged up, causing her heart to shrink involuntarily.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she became bored
I have received the order
Zhaoyan wanted to speak, but upon raising her eyes, she saw her helpless and lost appearance. Those words of comfort that were almost on the tip of her tongue suddenly turned into silence, leaving her momentarily speechless
The book "Nü Jie" in hand was sent by Yun Fei, while the few scattered books at my feet were specially retrieved from the library by Yun Huang for her to read
The person who was called out suddenly stiffened, and the beautiful dream of slipping away was shattered with a "thud".
Which concubine in the palace does not curry favor with Eunuch Gui? This little girl is truly ungrateful!
At this thought, an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged within Fei Yan's heart; it was neither sorrow nor jealousy, but a profound sense of bewilderment.
Regrettably, her hopes have once again been dashed
Today, I came to the Jiang Pavilion purely because the Grand Tutor has been incessantly reminding me, mentioning that the distribution of favor in the harem is unequal, and that disputes arise frequently, subtly suggesting that he should come to the Jiang Pavilion more often to observe.
What?
"Yes, I will return to the master's words."
This negative emotion, in her, transformed from discomfort at the very beginning to anger, then to habituation, and finally to self-destruction. The speed was as swift as a meteor, fleeting in an instant
Later, upon seeing such a table filled with fine wines and exquisite dishes, the young girl finally felt the emptiness in her stomach, unable to bear the hunger, which led to the chaotic scene described above
Du Zitang looked at the young girl in the courtyard who was tidying up the books and documents. Her face was unremarkable, and her figure was flat, which could not compare to the beautiful concubines in the harem, who were as splendid as blooming flowers
Fei Yan raised her head, allowing the flowing light of the setting sun to fall into her eyes. Suddenly, her gaze became tinged with a bittersweet sensation, and she slowly articulated the question that had long lingered in her heart.
Sir, these books are merely a means of drawing parallels and applying knowledge in a broader context. Essentially, they convey a similar meaning, and even without reading them in their entirety, one can grasp the content within. There is no need to read further.
Xiao Feiyan held a book with a light blue cover in her hands, leaning against a large tree in the courtyard, feeling drowsy.
Xiao Feiyan lowered her head, feeling an inexplicable sense of depression in her heart
The men and women in the album are entwined like vines, filled with a deep sense of longing, as the essence of spring is in full bloom. Each image is saturated with a rich and intoxicating allure, embodying an indescribable opulence and debauchery
Excessive
We respectfully welcome Your Majesty. I, Namira, have arrived late to receive Your Majesty. Please forgive my offense
Every meeting seems to occur under such unpleasant circumstances; if it were not for the consideration of General Xiahou's reputation, this girl would not hesitate to risk her life to vent her anger.
However, within the imperial harem, even the least favored concubines receive their monthly allowances distributed according to rank, ensuring that none are deprived or shortchanged, preventing these women from suffering from cold and hunger, or from being financially destitute.
She touched her nose and suddenly realized
I am just hungry
However, at the moment he lowered his head, he did not notice the Cloud Emperor suddenly crushing the broken branch in his palm, nor did he perceive the fleeting coldness and determination in the depths of the Cloud Emperor's eyes
Even he himself did not notice, those words slipped out, and only after speaking them did he realize he was covered in cold sweat
The king's attitude towards Prince Jiang has never been favorable from beginning to end
Feng Linghong's expression changed several times, and after a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, forcing himself to remain calm
Before me are handsome men and beautiful women, a sight that pleases the eye, with numerous palace maids and eunuchs, all bowing and acquiescing.
Fei Yan did not dare to act recklessly in front of the old gentleman; she merely raised her eyes and answered weakly.
The young girl pressed her hand against her stomach, her face flushed a deep red up to her ears, and she was about to run away.
Eunuch Gui observed her reaction, his old face darkening. "Your Highness, do not underestimate it. I have heard that the matron of the Imperial Ceremonial Office has never entered the Xiahou residence to teach Your Highness how to please the King, so I specifically retrieved it from the library. Your Highness tossed it aside, but do you find this old servant meddlesome?"
This powerful force immediately stunned Fei Yan.
In recent days, rumors have been rampant in the palace, with two hot topics dominating the discussions. One of them is the favored Consort Yun, Nila, who is highly esteemed and cherished by Emperor Yun.
She is just a little girl, what is so special about her
What a greedy woman you are, do you know how much salary you receive each month
The brows of the Cloud Emperor could not help but furrow tightly
As she raised her hand, a neatly bound book slipped from her lap to the ground. From a distance, she appeared to be almost buried beneath a pile of books, with scattered volumes around her accumulating to nearly half her height.
Right and wrong, she sees with utmost clarity
The gaze of the Cloud Emperor swept over Fei Yan, settling on the exquisite girl before him, whose beauty resembled clear jade. Suddenly, he smiled with a hint of deeper meaning, opening his arms wide. The enchanting girl, with a smile filled with joy, immediately fluttered into his embrace like a butterfly
I ... ... I ... ...
However, the Emperor is not pleased with the Crown Prince, no matter how many times.
As the storm approached, Yunfei Namira's expression grew slightly somber. She rose to her feet, and the sound of her jingling bracelets and anklets echoed softly, resembling the chime of wind bells, producing a clear and pleasant sound with each step she took
This realization quickly transformed into motivation for action
Xiahou Jiang
Does even the Grand Tutor think highly of her
Fei Yan was unaware of what fragrance this was; she only felt her mind becoming hazy after inhaling it, as if she were floating in a transcendent state, overwhelmed by its enchanting allure. As she watched the crowd retreat like a flowing stream, an alarm suddenly rang in her heart.
No one has ever dared to treat him this way
What a "harsh punishment and severe penalties, deceiving the weak and ignorant people"
She had long since given her salary to Xiao Tao, because during a casual conversation, Xiao Tao mentioned the plight of the beggars outside the city, who were homeless and very pitiable, so she took her own salary to provide disaster relief
The latter looked up in confusion, and upon seeing his old face break into a smile like a chrysanthemum, a thunderbolt struck in his mind, and he inexplicably recalled a very famous line from the internet.
The latter appeared somewhat dazed; if one did not look at her pair of clear and bright eyes, she was merely an ordinary girl of unremarkable appearance. Generally, men tend to notice only the most beautiful and outstanding women, overlooking such a wildflower. Moreover, this wildflower was indeed restless, which is no wonder she was despised by the Cloud Emperor, who continuously belittled her.
As she hesitated endlessly, the Cloud Emperor seemed weary of such questions. He snorted coldly, ceased his pressing inquiries, and with a dismissive gesture, Fei Yan happened to fall to the ground, landing with a flourish.
At the same age of fifteen, in the Cangyuan Dynasty, she married into the palace, and from then on, her life was no longer her own
The latter raised her small face in confusion, her bright, round eyes still glistening with tears, looking particularly aggrieved. For some reason, Du Zitong felt a sudden sharp pang in his heart.
If his current reaction were to be seen by Feng Lingnan, or even by his close attendants who have followed him for a long time and understand him well, they would probably be so shocked that they would be left speechless for quite a while
Regardless of the feudal society of any dynasty, the constraints and expectations placed upon women have striking similarities.
He detests encountering her, wishing he could completely eradicate her, for each time she carelessly tears apart the stern emotional mask on his face, forcing out his truest anger
Feng Linghong grew fonder of her the more he looked at her. He stroked his grizzled beard, smiling as he watched the young girl organize the books into neat stacks. With a pair of old eyes, he casually glanced at the nearby bushes, his expression seemingly lost in thought
Even the Emperor of Lianyungang himself had not realized that the young girl before him seemed to provoke his anger more easily than others
Go home
