The north wind was blowing softly, clearing away dense clouds from the sky. The shining sun then showed up as the sky looked like a vast blue velvet.
That night "Gu Yunxi" returned to the mansion with Ming Lan. For two consecutive days, she did nothing but eat and sleep as she had done the first when she entered the mansion that year, which made Ming Lan feel at ease, along with the attendants who had suffered a lot from her in the past.
Seeing that she was recovering day by day, Ming Lan couldn't restrain the desire in his heart. When he woke up in the morning, he told Nanny Gui who served in the west chamber to put some hypnotic drug into the decoction for "Yunxi".
Thinking the time was almost ripe, he led Nanny Yan and Nanny Gui into the wing-room.
On the large bed was a delicate beauty with long curled eyelashes, who was sleeping soundly as her head was resting on a soft pillow. Rays of sunlight pierced through the red embroide
After drinking some wine, Priest Wu felt a warm stream flowing in his abdomen. He couldn't help blushing more scarlet and burped slightly as his breath smelled of wine.Looking down at the beauty in his arms, Priest Wu smirked and flirted with her again.Wan Li coldly pursed his thin lips. The swaying candlelight lit his arrogant face and gilded it in a bizarre way. He said,"Wu Yong, our family business has been able to expand in the past few years. It’s all your doings. You've traveled across Da Yi and managed the logistics and transportation by water or land. You've served well."Priest Wu restrained himself and looked at Wan Li with a flattering grin,"Your Grace has overflattered me. It's my duty to work for your family. For many years, your family has treated my master and me generously and we have benefited a lot from helping you manage all parties.I'm also ashamed to say that I've been careless on
Zhao An noticed the awkward atmosphere, so he bowed to the Duke and Duchess and smiled warmly,"Her Grace heard that my lord and lady are leaving today, so she asked to see you off with His Majesty's permission..."Their eyes glinted delightedly as the husband and wife were to kneel in thanks again, but they were stopped by Gu Yunyao.Song Qin instructed two maids to bring two brocade boxes and said gently,"These are Her Grace's gifts to you. In this box is a sword worthy of a hero like Your Highness. The red cubilose and white ginseng in the other box are the most nourishing. I hope Your Grace likes them."The Duke and Duchess bowed again and again to express their appreciation.Min Rui ordered his attendant to take the gifts. Gu Yunyao was so elegant and graceful, her tearing eyes lingering on Duchess Min's face. He looked at her and immediately realized something. His heart was filled with joy.
The night was whirling and the thin moonlight shined on the ground through the dead wood and flower branches. The light and shadow were mottled.As soon as Qinger entered Gu Yunxi's room, she saw the untouched food on the table. She couldn't help frowning, with a worried expression on her face."You don't have an appetite, right? How can you stand it like this!"The world is like a fleeting show. It had been more than a year and a half since the girl was forced to leave Leng's Mansion until she returned to the Eastern Depot. Now she was safe and sound, but wore a stranger's face.This astonishing change was like a myth. Qinger didn't dare to think about it when she opened or closed her eyes. If she cut off her living skin and replaced it with another one, the pain she would have to endure was huge.At the moment, the only thing she had to do was to get used to the strange and ordinary face as soon as possible. Moreover
The night sky was dark and a crescent moon was hidden in the clouds.At midnight, the Shenle Marquis of Nanyuan was lit up with lights.Wan Li and Lei Huan were drinking liquor at the square table. They chatted and laughed happily.In the hall, apricot-red sleeves fluttered in the air. Four dancers wore exotic costumes. Between the sequined breasts and long skirts, flat and smooth abdomens were exposed. They frequently shook their soft and boneless waists. Their figures moved tactfully and gracefully.The flower hall was fragrant and beautiful, and there were endless orchestral strings and bamboos around the beams.After drinking another glass of wine, Wan Li’s white cheeks were slightly red. He squinted his eyes and the luster of his eyes was slightly misty,"Wu Yong did a bad job this time and he almost made the Marquis's Mansion fall into trouble. Fortunately, you took care of the overall situation and
Seeing everyone looking at him, Priest Wu sat steadily on the head of the bed and suddenly grinned. He inserted his black fingers into his greasy hair and he scratched back and forth. He said, "The Master, I tell you the truth. I have not drunk or eaten anything until this moment. I was tossed up to vomit blood by your fake death medicine before and talked a lot just now. I'm already exhausted. The front chest is attached to the back. Can you go give me something to eat?""OK."Leng Qingtang turned his eyes without warmth ordered guards,"Go and bring some wine and food.""Ah, wait!"Priest Wu waved his hand to stop the guards,"I don't want the wine. I was almost killed by poisoned wine, and I dare not be greedy anymore. How about..."The ending sound stretched, and he flashed his cunning fox eyes to Gu Yunxi.She stood beside the Master, and immediately tightened her body when s
Gu Yunxi paused for a sudden by Master's angry shouts in the yard. Seeing him turning his back to her sharply, the girl blinked with grievance, looked at the lower hem of his gown infatuatedly, and stopped talking.Did he become unhappy?Master was good at controlling his emotions. It was really rare for him to be like this.Gu Yunxi believed that no matter how strong a man was, he would be fragile and sensitive sometime, and he would act like a kid who needed comfort.Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi smiled lightly and walked to Master gently. She stood on tiptoe and put her arms around his neck.Leng Qingtang’s handsome face was still full of anger, not appreciating her pleasing him actively. He raised his hand and held her thin wrist firmly. As soon as he pulled it from his neck, the girl’s exquisite body plunged into his arms instantly like a soft and sweet sticky candy."Master ... "The girl r
Her chin was pinched by two cold fingers. Gu Yunxi endured the discomfort, frowned, and showed obvious panic and disgust on her face.He stared at her eyes and brows with cold eyes enigmatically,"I didn't expect that Master Leng kept you with him again."Gu Yunxi was shocked, but she didn't know why Ming Lan said the word "again".Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She showed a solemn face and said in a deep voice,"Master Ming, I don't know what you are talking about. In broad daylight, could you please let go of me?"They looked into each other's eyes.Ming Lan withdrew his hand slowly. His piercing eyes turned deep suddenly as if he was pleased by something. Compared with his willfulness just now, he looked totally different at this time.Soon, he lowered his eyes slightly and concealed the shrewdness in his eyes, saying in a sharp and lazy tone,"You have be
In the waterside pavilion, the Imperial Noble Concubine Wan Yuyao sat on the main seat. She looked peaceful and her beautiful eyebrows looked cool. Her proud face made her look so cold.She turned her eyes subconsciously and then saw Concubine Xu and Concubine Yu not far from the pavilion. She smiled and raised her eyebrows,"Are you visiting the garden today as well?"She raised her wrist lightly and the pendant on her sleeve made a ding. Wan Yuyao signaled the eunuch to stop and drag the offending female slave to the corner of the screen.Since they were unable to dodge anymore, the two concubines had to come forward to make a bow. To Concubine Xu's surprise, Gu Yunyao seemed so impatient and rushed forward into the pavilion.Concubine Xu was puzzled, but followed Gu Yunyao to make a bow at the Imperial Noble Concubine."Your Grace, wish you all happiness and good luck.""Fine. Sister
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
