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
"Let me go. Let me go! No!"At the end of one Hutong, Commandery Princess Jingle was constrained and lying on the ground, with her legs and arms being held by two tall men.She clearly knew what the three people wanted to do to her. But at that time when she came out of the Palace, she just planned to go shopping and enjoy a festival with her beloved man. Therefore, she even didn't let her eunuch Xi follow her.Now she happened to suffer such a crisis. How could she a weak girl avoid that miserable thing?With her back lying on the hard path, Commandery Princess Jingle's heart beat as violently as the sounding drum, which had already been chaotic.She widened her delicate eyes, staring at the dark sky. The large and projecting eyes were almost to get out of her orbits, as astonishment and despair occurred in her eyes."Stop! Don't touch me! I give all my money to you! Please let me go... Hum..."
When the thing suddenly happened, Huanan He felt a buzz in his brain and instantly his heart stopped for a while.He couldn't care about the opponent out of the barrier, just blankly staring at fiercely falling Gu Yunxi and loudly shouting."Yunxi!"Without thinking, Huanan He jumped down. While falling down, he held a breath and tried to be careful. Then he raised her body, being as straight as a row and going close to Gu Yunxi with his head down to the earth.With an arm waving, he successfully held Gu Yunxi in his arms. Then he fiercely turned around, trying to hold one hand to grasp something that could be touched in the edge.He struggled and tried several times when the vision became disorderly and the wind fiercely blew in his ears.Huanan He didn't give up as he wanted to be alive. And he wanted to live long with the beautiful woman in his arms.When they fiercely fell down, Hua
