Chapter 34 Master, I Want It Too
The moon was glowing in the sky. A sheer layer of thin cloud floated around it, allowing bits of star lights to shine through. Misty moonlight shone on the large smooth leaf of the banana tree in the yard, reflecting a delicate and hazy white light, like smoke floating in the air, adding a sense of mystery and seduction to this airless autumn night.
The Southern Residence of the Eastern Depot was way more lively than usual.
The Master had gathered everyone here for dinner tonight. Depot workers carried in two of the largest square tables and pieced them together in the middle of the yard.
It was just dinner time. Cheng Wanli, the Chiliarch, Xiao Xiaoshen, the rank-fourth sword-bearing guard, and ten captains of the Eastern Depot all came.
It was the first celebration of the Double Ninth Festival in the Eastern Depot. Everybody felt especially excited. Everyone brought something, wine, fruit, vegetables, and gifts. All of them w

The temperature gradually dropped because of the night wind. It was getting late, and the captains all bade farewell to the Master. "Seven, Ten, Chiliarch Cheng, and Xiao Xiaoshen stay here. Others can go back now." The Master was accustomed to calling the seventh captain and the tenth like this. Calling in this way was simple and showed his kindness. They understood that the Master would give some instructions and stayed. When other people left the Southern Residence, Leng Qingtang ordered, "Yunxi, fetch it here." Gu Yunxi went to the Master's house and took out the box sent by the Western Depot. She placed it on the table, opened the lid, and showed the earrings to everyone. "Ming Lan sent this to Yunxi," Leng Qingtang explained it clearly to everyone since they were surprised. "What? Have they found out that she is a girl? By people in the Western Depot?" Cheng Wanli ex
Be Modest，My Master of Imperial Guards Chapter 36 Wearing Make-up
After lunch, Gu Yunxi asked the depot worker to prepare a pot of hot water. Then, she took a shower in the house and put on the long blue skirt and short jacket. Gu Yunxi was excited for a while after putting on women's clothes again. Master Leng Qingtang arrived when she was sitting at the dressing table and wearing make-up. When he saw Gu Yunxi, he was surprised with brightness in his deep black eyes. This dress was selected by him, from the style and the color to the size. Now it seemed that it fitted her well and outlined her slender and youthful body. Gu Yunxi was standing in front of the Master with her hair cascading like a waterfall. It seemed that she was an orchid blooming quietly. One could see some moisture around her body since she just took a shower. She was like an elegant fairy. The black of her long hair and the blue of her skirt met and made her face clearer and fairer. Leng Qingtan

Langtian Lane, Xijing Gate. A carriage parked on the street corner facing the Master's Mansion of the Western Depot. The curtain was lifted, under which the Eastern Depot worker, Sun Bing, jumped out. He put down the step stool and then helped Gu Yunxi down. Looking across at the Master's Mansion, Gu Yunxi was surprised. The building was luxurious and grand with its red gate and high-pitched roof. Having never been to her Master's Mansion so far, she had no idea how impressive it would be. At least this one was no inferior to the Garden where she used to live. Now that Gu Yunxi had got off the carriage, Sun Bing walked across the wide street by himself to announce their arrival at the Master's Mansion. The man had an honest and modest disposition. Along the way, he had not uttered a single word even if he was inside the carriage with Gu Yunxi. The uncomfortable silences had been hard to sustain. Gu Y

Right after returning to the Master's Mansion, Ming Lan and the eunuchs encircled the plate of flower cakes sent by Gu Yunxi dubiously. To bake the cakes, one needed to mix the yeast-fermented white dough with honey, milk, and ghee. Then, it was rolled, folded, and cut into small squares, which were later roasted. Consequently, the dough rose, and its surface was rendered layered and flakey. Lastly, topped with a layer of almond crumble, the half-an-inch thick pastry was made. Although the cooking process was time-consuming, the pastry was crispy and flavorsome. With a sweet aroma of almond and milk and the resemblance of snowy flowers, it was hence named "flower cake". Qin Zhong frowned, swallowing his saliva hard at the snow-white and delicious-smelling pastry right before his eyes. "Master, could it be poisonous?" Greedy as he might be, his suspicion remained. Yun Guaner was shrewd. She lied about her gender an

The Western Depot people halted outside the main hall of the temple. Ming Lan ordered the guards to wait here and beckoned Qin Zhong closer with the lantern. Outside the hall, he had seen the slender figure surrounded by dimly swaying candlelight. She was standing in the room center, facing away from Ming Lan towards the colossal wreck of a Buddha. Unlike the outfit from this afternoon, she was wearing a crimson long-sleeved overcoat embroidered with golden peonies and a red pleated chiffon dress. Tied around her slim waist was a colorful silk ribbon, and inserted in her high pinned-up bun was a golden hair stick with double tassels. The flamboyant red was like a fiery flame, reminding Ming Lan of the manglietia flowers he had seen on the way here. Lying around them was the boneless and tranquil night sky, and their blazing color was attractive but also mysterious, horrifying their audience for no reason.

On the way back to the Eastern Depot, the three people in the carriage were all in silence. Once one had idle time, he would spend more time imagining things. At this time, it was the elaborate-style painting booklet brought by Ming Lan that was constantly frying Leng Qingtang's mind. Those still pictures which inadvertently jumped into his eyes were so enchanting and enthralling that they seemed to be ghosts endowed with invisible lives, violently and inescapably messing around in front of Leng Qingtang's eyes. At this very moment, Gu Yunxi was sitting beside him, looking tiny and pretty. Suddenly, there were a lot of evil thoughts in his mind. If he had pushed down this graceful and svelte little girl, lying on her water-like silky body, feeling those pictures, how exciting it would have been to see her self-possessed and blissful look. Leng Qingtang only felt that the blood in his body swelled sharply, and the
Be Modest，My Master of Imperial Guards Chapter 41 Who Was Messing Around?
Late night, somewhere in the Palace.The moon above the turret showed half of its shape, and a white figure was sitting on the eaves of the room topped with glazed tiles that looked like silver frost. After a while, a man's light voice came from the shadow below the turret, "You come to the Palace late at night and do not wear nightclothes, but instead dress up in that white outfit. Are you not afraid to be arrested as an assassin?" However, the man in the shadow gazed at him with appreciation and surprise. At this moment, as the bright moonlight draped over his white clothes on the turret, like a gauzy haze, added a heavy fairy mystery and natural quality to him. A silver mask with a tedious pattern covered half of his face, only to see that his thin lips were rising slightly. "Humph! Ridiculous…" The white man on the corner tower laughed loudly, with a tone that was full of coldness an

After the Master left, Gu Yunxi couldn't sleep well. Resting for a while, she went to wash herself, changed into the clothes of guards, and ran to the kitchenette to prepare lunch.The three cooks in Southern Residence showed great respect to her. They followed whatever she wanted to do and gave her the best of whatever ingredients she wanted to use.Today, she would cook honey stuffed ribs, chestnut roast chicken, and sour radish duck soup for the Master. She was assisted by the three cooks, who gave her some advice on the selection of accessories and the cooking temperature.The three kinds of raw meat essence, after being cut, were dipped in cold water sprinkled with salt for a moment so that the blood in the meat was drawn out. To prevent her blood phobia, Gu Yunxi asked the cooks to do this for her.The sodden ribs, chicken, and duck were piled separately and blanched one by one in boiling water.The process of ma
