Chu Hongyi behaved rather imposingly as he kept a straight face while he nodded to the servants with his child-like face.
The moment the servants were gone, he reverted to his usual hilarious self. “Xiaoxiao, did I look serious? Do I resemble Brother Yunshen?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao almost laughed out loud. Since Chu Hongyi couldn’t even stay serious for three seconds, he was not even 10% as imposing as Chu Yunshen.
The more they walked, the more deserted the place seemed.
In the end, they halted in front of some old and lifeless rooms where no one else could be found.
In the distance, the faint sound of a crying woman could be heard as the cold wind gusted. Chu Hongyi had goosebumps when he got there.
“Where the hell are we?” Chu Hongyi furtively went close to Cheng Xiaoxiao’s ear and begged, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go. This place is so creepy and there is no sunshine at all. It’s so scary…”
Since Cheng
Imperial consort Mei’s voice suddenly sounded sad, but she continued sharing this absolutely tragic story with Cheng Xiaoxiao. “I was too naïve to think that an emperor was capable of true love. He simply wanted to claim my father’s troops and I was just a pawn. I kept getting miscarriages because of him, but he ended up doting on the prime minister’s daughter.”“I finally gave birth to Chun’er in the end. One day, he begged for milk cake, so I promised to give him a piece the next day, but he ended up accidentally falling into a lake and drowning to death. He was such a smart boy. How could he have fallen into the lake?”Cheng Xiaoxiao felt her scalp go numb as she listened to the story. For time immemorial, an emperor’s love never lasted. She wondered how many women died spending their best years in the harem. “The man whom I loved told me I was the one who caused my boy’s death as he embraced another woman. He wanted to send m
“Is that so?” Imperial consort Su spoke intentionally. She had closed her eyes as she thoroughly enjoyed this rare occasion when her son massaged her, but swiftly opened them when she heard what he wanted. She studied Chu Hongyi without sparing any details. “Why did you charge in here to ask for the dress?”Chu Hongyi turned awkwardly and refused to make eye contact with imperial consort Su. “I was curious and wanted to look at it.”“Do you know that this dress was made using mystical plants from the Divine Penglai Island? According to the envoy who sent the tribute, this dress has celestial qualities. I am reluctant to wear it normally. Your father only gave me the dress when I gave birth to you since he knew how much I adored it.”“Of course I know this. You are a natural beauty, so you don’t need it to complement your good looks.”Chu Hongyi stood by the side as he pushed imperial consort Su’s arms and implored her
Even though Chu Yunshen ignored Cheng Xiaoxiao, he secretly observed Cheng Xiaoxiao’s every move with his head lowered. He watched as Cheng Xiaoxiao ran over to appease him by acting adorable and apologizing hard in front of him. Despite keeping up a straight face, he softened up on her quite a bit.Sure enough, he couldn't expect the cat to be patient. Fortunately, she made an attempt to appease him. Chu Yunshen sighed inaudibly as he shook his head helplessly.He resigned himself to this fate as he carried Cheng Xiaoxiao and placed her in his arms comfortably.Chu Yunshen was surprised by his instincts. When did he start caring about the cat so much?The moment he recalled Cheng Xiaoxiao sneaking out to hang out with Chu Hongyi, Chu Yunshen felt angry.Even though he cared about the cat so much, she was friendly with anyone who gave her food.Chu Yunshen naturall
It was not entirely clear whether the county magistrate was fearful because he offended Chu Yunshen or he was surprised by the visit.Chu Yunshen pursed his lips slightly and ignored the county magistrate as he knelt before him. Instead, he walked up to the desk and sat down. There was a stack of opened letters on the desk. Chu Yunshen flipped through them leisurely as he looked at the county magistrate kneeling on the ground. “You sure seem rather busy to me!”The county magistrate was so anxious that more sweat oozed from his forehead as it trickled down his face onto the bluestone tile on the ground. He gasped as he knelt and contemplated. The god of hell had just seen his correspondence with Su Ming. How could he explain himself now?No one had announced Prince Jing’s arrival. Otherwise, he would be able to do something about the letters.Chu Yunshen seemed capable of reading the county
Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed gloatingly. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care about the plotting and scheming. She was simply delighted at seeing Xiaowu disappointed. Served him right for trying to be a smart aleck. Despite how sensible it sounded, Xiaowu wasn’t as smart as he thought. No matter how smart he was, Chu Yunshen was always three steps ahead of him. Cheng Xiaoxiao buried her head in Chu Yunshen’s arms and almost suffered internal injuries from suppressing her laughter. Since Chu Yunshen was unable to see her expression, he was worried that she was unwell and weary from travel or unable to acclimate. The moment he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao smiling brightly when he finally turned her face around, he instantly realized that she was just being mischievous. “You’re so naughty.” Chu Yunshen didn’t know what to do with Cheng Xiaoxiao. He sensed a real love-hate relationship with her as he tapped her head. He couldn’t
Cheng Xiaoxiao curled up in Chu Yunshen’s arms and rested her eyes as she wondered what the county magistrate had prepared. Since they had to host a prince, they would probably serve Chu Yunshen with the finest food. Cheng Xiaoxiao snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of fighting. Oh god! Why were they suddenly in a fight?In the blink of an eye, dozens of people dressed in black jumped from the air and surrounded them quickly.Before Chu Yunshen said a word, Chen Fu was so startled that his face turned ashen, and he screamed as he hid behind Chu Yunshen swiftly.He shrank behind Chu Yunshen and didn’t dare to look.Even if he could escape, he would probably be unable to move a muscle.It felt as though his legs were weighed down by lead and incapable of movement.The last two of Chu Yunshen’s secret guards had already jumped over the moment the men
Zhao Yan didn’t give Chen Fu the chance to speak as he pierced his sword through Chen Fu’s chest. Chen Fu opened his beady eyes wide as he got killed. It seemed as though he was asking the killer why he was slaying him.Zhao Yan didn’t want to keep fighting now that Chen Fu was dead. He glanced around to see that Tingzhu and Nongying had passed out from grave injuries and nodded in relief. He took the token from his chest and secretly placed it in Chen Fu’s hand before he studied the situation. Chu Yunshen had done his utmost to protect the lion cat in his arms as he fell into the well. He gently stroked the lion cat’s head affectionately. “Did you have a sweet dream? You ended up drooling.”How could he tease her at a time like this?What drool? Stupid man!THUD!It was the sound of something landing on the ground heavily. Cheng Xiaoxi
Why did she end up stuck down here?“OWWW… OWWW…” howled Cheng Xiaoxiao a few times. Cheng Xiaoxiao was worried about waking Chu Yunshen up, so she purposely kept her voice down when she yelled in pain. It made the scene even stranger.She was done howling. No one could achieve success without pain!Cheng Xiaoxiao rooted for herself!If Ziwei from a famous television drama could withstand Nanny Rong’s clip stick torture, Cheng Xiaoxiao could bear with the pain and climb out of the well too!Wasn’t Chu Yunshen more gorgeous than Ziwei’s boyfriend?The thought of it made her a little motivated. The unconscious gorgeous man and a fierce female ghost would certainly make an odd team. In reality, Cheng Xiaoxiao had considered giving up.Transmigration and rebirth sounded like marvelous experiences.Why did she end up becoming a gh
As it turns out, a trick can lose its effectiveness after a while.The lion cat's eyes were blinking painfully, and the corners of his eyes were nearly cramped, but Chu Yunshen still had that impassive look, not even moving his eyebrows.Okay, you're tough! I say you're tough, and not a flabby earwig!The lion cat suddenly froze in his tracks, a mist rising quickly from his heterochromatic eyes.The watery eyes looked like oceans of water, and this transformation managed to scare Chu Yunshen's eyes.Chu Yunshen reached out his hand to hug the lion cat, but was stopped by the helpless expression on the lion cat's stubbornly tilted little face.A light coughing sound ended and the man's somewhat dry voice rang out:"To the Returning Sun Desert, it's windy and sandy out there."It's windy and sandy. - So?Can't you see I've got a cramp in my eye? I'm having a hard time!Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Chu Yunshen was tal
Yun Shen, what do you think about this matter?The lion cat cheered for Chu Yunshen while frantically questioning him with his eyes.What's he doing here again? You're Chu, why don't you do something?"Why don't I go to the meeting?"Mu Bai, the chatterbox, couldn't help himself, he raised his eyebrows, squinted those peach blossom eyes with interest, and said to the blackbird outside the window:"It's strange though, seeing as how it's been following us for some time now, it didn't make a move on me just now."As he spoke, he suddenly revealed an evil smile to Chu Yunshen: "It's rather like those wild bees and butterflies that chased you back then, following you over and doing nothing, but it's indeed endless."That was more than enough to make the lion cat's eyes light up.She carefully sized up Mu Bai once more, and after realizing that the other party did not look like she was joking, she jerked her head up to look at Chu Yunshen a
The lion cat looked wan and hid in Chu Yunshen's arms reflecting on her flow, not understanding just how outstanding her beauty was to be able to make even a bird so moved.Such a relentless pursuit, I'm afraid that the love is so deep that I can't even let go. Really make people head big, is not only can blame Cheng Xiaoxiao this damn charm.Blame her. Blame her for being overly beautiful.Shaking her head helplessly was just futile, Cheng Xiaoxiao still needed to give some feedback to this kind of 'avid suitor', or else if she went more and more overboard later on and did other excessive things, wouldn't it be an irresponsible behavior for everyone.Said Cheng Xiaoxiao herself was touched, she almost believed that what she had just thought was true.It's not like they don't want to go head-to-head again, at least not right now, and not want to get into any more trouble.Songtao's injuries are still not healed, Cheng Xiaoxiao herself has only jus
Every year the whole capital half of the people will come to the show, it is said that one year even the long-lasting master Chu Hongzhen have come out to see the final field in private clothes.If this token was really useful, then did this group of people intend to let him participate in the Poetry Festival?The more Ren Yanlai thought about it, the more he felt that this was more likely.After all, it wasn't as if he hadn't thought of this method before, and as long as he won the Poetry Conference at the Wangjing Teahouse in one fell swoop, he would surely be a sensation in the capital.When that time comes when everyone in the capital knows about it, he won't need to go around looking for people to line up scrolls everywhere.Only this idea was later dismissed by him, and the reason was also very simple, he did not even have the money to attend the tea house poetry party.The entry fee for the Wangjing Teahouse could not be taken on credit and
Later on, she was able to react a bit more and needed to organize her head, which was why she sized up Chu Yunshen and refused to go over.It wasn't until Chu Yunshen approached her that she smelled that all too familiar grassy fragrance.A person's olfactory memory tends to be more immediate and deeper than other memories.Only in that moment emotions swept over her like a tidal wave, all the memories of Chu Yunshen and all the things she had crossed over surrounded her quickly.Including the voice she heard in the nothingness, she also reacted to the fact that the person was Chu Yunshen.At that moment Cheng Xiaoxiao only thought of getting close to Chu Yunshen immediately, so she couldn't help but reveal her lion cat nature.Carelessness is carelessness.The lion cat that was lying in Chu Yunshen's arms again still felt slightly humiliated, she rubbed her burning face with her paws and was a little embarrassed to look up at Chu Yunshen.
The black bird snapped its head up, tilted its head back to open its beak wide, and gave a hawkish cry to the sky.This time, the eagle's cry was different from the two sounds that Chu Yunshen had just heard, originally, as long as the black bird cried, the lion cat would tremble and then enter into a state of response to the enemy.However, this did not have any effect on Chu Yunshen, he just felt it was a bit jarring to his ears.Now it's different.As soon as the black bird's voice came out, the lion cat was again in the same fried state it was in just now, and Chu Yunshen and the others covered their ears with it.Chu Yunshen couldn't spare his hands as he hugged the lion cat, and his reaction was indeed smaller.He held the lion cat in one hand, while gazing at his breath and pressing the tip of his tongue dead center against his palate. From his tense facial expression, one could tell that he would be in a state where he wouldn't dare to rel
If you ask Cheng Xiaoxia if she's happy eating now, she also thinks it's quite okay.It was just that she always felt that her back was hairy, as if a camera had been installed and someone was always watching her and Chu Yunshen.This time Cheng Xiaoxiao's intuition really didn't go wrong, not only this time, but yesterday's rain her sudden freeze was also not an illusion.The cause of it all was now stretching its wings on that bough, and it hopped and jumped from one branch to the other, looking no different from the little bird that had been squawking.However, nothing is as it seems.If it was really that bland, then Cheng Xiaoxiao wouldn't have reacted so strongly.The bowl of milky paste dwindled, and the lion cat's consciousness drifted away again.The black bird on the boughs of the tree had stopped hopping at some point, and it paid unseeing attention to that direction of the lion cat, with a strange glint in its eyes and a hint of
Songtao did things neatly, plus this was the first time Ren Yanlai had eaten and drunk enough in days and slept well, so this series of actions did not wake him up.Not only that, Ren Yanlai did not even change the sleeping position, only to maintain that side lying position until the dawn descends.As soon as dawn broke outside the broken temple, the light outside brightened up a little.The heavy rain had stopped at some point, and an unknown bird made a twittering sound on the dead tree outside the broken temple, which sounded quite cheerful, but was quickly replaced by a wail, and the original leaping instantly came to an abrupt end.Fixed his eyes to see, is that has been making noise of the bird was a black bird hard peck, scared feathers trembling, fluttering wings hurriedly flew away, the joyful bird call also naturally disappeared.The blackbird cast another oblique glance at the other birds lingering on the boughs of the tree, and wondered how
The danfeng eyes were even darker, and the eyes that looked at Ren Yanlai did not have the same indifference as a moment ago, Chu Yunshen's face was expressionless as he opened his mouth at the right time, "Xiaoxiao, you can't sit for a long time after eating, get up and move around.""Since when did we have this extra rule in our house?"Cheng Xiaoxiao was a bit bewildered, tilting her head to carefully survey Chu Yunshen, until she looked Chu Yunshen to the point of being uncomfortable she didn't withdraw her eyes.Let's just say that Chu Yunshen was out of sorts tonight, earlier she was being gentle with Ren Yanlai and now she was making demands on her.Just now I was allowed to have an extra bowl of soup, but now I'm being so harsh."All the time."When he heard Cheng Xiaoxiao's soft voice say the words 'our family', Chu Yunshen's heart jumped uncontrollably, and his danfeng eyes rose slightly with it.However, he still said those words
