It was a dark night. The humid air enveloped the staggered and undulating eaves.
From a distance, the street was long and quiet as if it had been an endless fairyland.
The sound of thunder was faint and it was about to rain.
As Huanan He spurred his horse to go back to his mansion, he was suddenly stopped by a man in black at the entrance of the alley.
The horse was startled and neighed, stepping in place with its four hooves. It turned back and forth, keeping snorting.
Huanan He grasped the reins more tightly, glancing at the man in black angrily.
He shouted, "Bad thief! I'm the Prince, and how dare you rob me?"
"Your Highness, I have something important to tell you," said that man.
"The man's voice sounds familiar," thought Huanan He.
"You... You're the man that night..." said Huanan He.
After successfully pacifying his horse, Huanan He sitting on the b
At Yonglu Temple, it rained heavily.Gu Yunxi leaned against the bed and kept sneezing.Zhiqi walked into the room with a pot of hot water in her hand. Seeing that Yunxi was sneezing, she hurriedly put the copper pot down and ran to close the window.She said, "It's raining. It's cold in the mountains. Be careful not to catch a cold."Gu Yunxi wore a smile.She replied, "I feel fine now. It's said that if someone's missing you, you'll sneeze. Maybe someone's missing me.""It must be the Ninth Prince who is missing you," said Zhiqi.Zhiqi narrowed her eyes with a smile, pouring some water into the basin from the pot and then wetting the towel. She went to the bed to clean Gu Yunxi's hands and face gently. She was busy all the time.Zhiqi said, "It's good for His Highness to go back earlier. It's raining now, and I hope he doesn't get wet."Gu Yunxi tilted her he
Jingle opened her eyes in a daze. She felt sore all over and had a headache.Her vision was occupied by the pine green bed curtain. Tassels hung from the outside of the bed curtain, and glazed beads the same size as rice were strung on each yellow rope as the decoration.The top of the tent was embroidered with flowers, rolling grass, and intertwined branches with auspicious meanings. They were all hooked with gold thread, which was extremely luxurious and beautiful.For a moment, the girl remembered that it was her Ninth Uncle Huanan He's mansion.Struggling to get up, the girl looked down to check her body.Her clothes were neat, but the eunuch's flat hat rolled to the corner of the bed.She looked around. Huanan He wasn't in the room.Jingle scratched her head in consternation. She didn't know that when she stayed with her "Ninth Uncle", the reason why she suddenly fainted was just that she
Along the way, Huanan He rushed against the wind as his horsewhip was lashed and cracked. He even wanted to have wings and immediately flew to Gu Yunxi.When he reached Yonglu Temple, the rain was still heavily pouring and never dwindled.The man rode a horse and rushed to the long and winding path paved with black bricks. After going through the Sanxiang Stone Gate and running along the mountain for a while, he eventually arrived at Yonglu Temple."Open the door. Open the door!"In front of the scarlet wooden door, Huanan He violently struck it with clenched fists.In the heavy rain, he was cold with blood freezing. The man was drenched and seemed to be just going out of the water.No one responded to him long. There only existed the sound of ceaselessly rushing streams in his ears.It was dark and dim now as the rain fell on the reef and splashed. Then the surrounding vapor spread and floate
It was in Qinming Hall of the Palace.The light was so luminous, illuminating the whole room."You haven't found anything strange?"After hearing the report of Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot Yue Xilou, Huanan Xin didn't release his frowned eyebrows, being still serious and cold.Then he slowly got up from the chair. With his hands held on his back, Huanan Xin thought and spoke."Could it be that you have recognized him mistakenly, and he is wronged?"Hearing that, Yue Xilou saluted and carefully answered."Two years ago, I had ever fought with the Ninth Prince in the western tribes. Until now, I could recognize his way of fighting. And the assassin who occurred in the imperial harem at that night made just the same ways of fighting as those of His Highness...""But at that night, people in the Eastern Depot couldn't catch him..."When Huanan Xin sudden
The morning light glimmered through the window crevices into the meditation room, drawing the outline of a man and a woman at the head of a bed.Last night, Huanan He fought against hundreds of monks, and he was almost exhausted.After that, he fainted and was carried into the meditation room where Gu Yunxi rested. Replaced with clean clothing, he was taken care of by Gu Yunxi until now.She never closed her eyes all night, always lying on the side of the bed quietly and staring at her darling. She watched his long eyelashes fluttering in the gentle light and listened to his even and steady breathing.Two years passed quickly like a white pony's shadow across a crevice.In addition to the grey hair, his appearance did not change much as if time had been grateful for the hardships he had gone through along the way and had been exceptionally kind to him.He was still cold and handsome in the memory.
"Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple cup of tea has such complicated implications?"After hearing the detailed explanation of Relieving Sorrow Tea, Huanan He was enlightened. With eyes brightened, he re-appreciated the red and transparent amber liquid in the cup and sighed,"To drink this tea, from getting maple dew to making tea, it will take a year."Gu Yunxi smiled,"That maple dew is also precious. It requires thousands of pure tender maple leaves with a suitable amount of acacia honey. After processing, only a small jar of maple dew can be attained.""It is because the natural ingredients are not easy to obtain that the food is so valuable. My mother's book, The Exquisite Collection of Delicacies, contains 28 original dishes, including sauces, soups, desserts, staples, and dishes. The cooking methods include frying, stir-frying, steaming, deep-frying, and instant boiling."Huanan He frowned. He touche
It was completely dark, and a bright moon climbed up the ridge. The stars were shining brightly among the lush branches and green leaves.Commandery Princess Jingle, who had already carefully dressed up, finally waited for the opportunity and ran out of the Palace.Today was Girl's Day. In the evening, the gate of the Palace was wide open. The palace maids and eunuchs could take turns to go outside the Palace and go shopping.On such a beautiful festival, Jingle certainly wanted to spend it with her beloved man.She ran to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion in one breath. The door was opened by a person she didn't know.Jingle was not surprised.The servants of the mansion had been killed. Naturally, the Palace would send some people again.Knowing that the Commandery Princess came to find the Ninth Prince, the gatekeeper respectfully led her into the flower hall in the front yard.
As in previous years, the night market in Jing City was particularly lively on Girl's Day.Bustling crowds could be seen everywhere in the main street and downtown, as well as the soft sedans and carriages of large families shuttling and traveling on the official roads.Shops along the street were decorated with lanterns and streamers, and there were scattered stalls selling fireworks, cut tobacco, drinks, and hand-made gadgets. They were lined up on both sides of the street.Facing the crowded crowd, Commandery Princess Jingle walked retrogradely through the brightly lit streets, regardless of people's surprise, disgust, or indifferent eyes.She walked aimlessly, passing through colorful lights and fireworks, and her eyes were blank and empty.Along the way, there were opera singers, jugglers, and people who were playing gongs and drums. It was very lively. The livelier the street was, the lonelier Jingle appea
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
