Outside the palace gate, a woman in white was waiting for Qi Yuan. All the preparations for the big show were in place. How could Wu Xin let the show miss the leading actor? She arranged the soldiers chatting in the palace. AfteAfter sending Xuan Zhi away, Wu Xin could finally concentrate on her plan to seduce Qi Yuan. After all, she didn’t want Xuan Zhi to be jealous or upset. She could no longer ignore how he felt like she used to do since she had already fallen in love and would be affected by his happiness and sorrow. After confirming that Xuan Zhi had gone far, Wu Xin took off her dress. As she couldn’t stand being completely naked in front of other men, Wu Xin went to take a thick coat to cover her breasts, the most beautiful part of a woman. But she looked even more seductive that way. After all, some things were best left to the imagination. Making sure that her body was well-covered, Wu Xin touched the pearl on her hairpin to calm down and let out a harsh scream, “Ah!”As soon as her voice rang in the room, Qi Yuan, who was waiting outside, kicked the door open. But what in front of him was such an alluring scene. Although Wu Xin’s face was not good-
After all, she had learned the lesson from Yun Hai, Lord Xiaoyao. Qi Yuan was not as kind as Yun Hai. Once he found out the truth, he might not let her and Xuan Zhi get away with it. That was why they had to be careful. Tossing about in bed at night, Wu Xin really couldn’t fall asleep. Since she didn’t want to waste time, Wu Xin got up and put on a white embroidered gauze dress and a thin white gauze veil, covering the scary spots and scars on her face. Wearing the pearl hairpin on her head, she only revealed those innocent and clean eyes. Outlining her curve without covering her pure temperament, the garment was a perfect combination of innocence and enchantment. Seeing Wu Xin in that dress, any man would be attracted right away. Checking herself in the mirror again and again, Wu Xin finally confirmed that she looked gorgeous. Then she came to the courtyard to watch the moon. Under the moonlight, she seemed a fairy from behind.Qi Yua
When Qi Yuan approached the kitchen, he saw a scene that amused him. He didn’t show due respect for the girl and laughed out loud. But it was unbelievable that Qi Yuan laughed! Qi Yuan had been expressionless. However, now he smiled for the first time over the years. Unexpectedly, Qi Yuan’s smile was as warm as a spring breeze that could melt the winter snow. It was as bright and beautiful as the sun. Wu Xin was stunned for a moment. The man in front of her was so pure and clean without a contaminated mind. She suddenly thought of stopping her plan for a second. However, Wu Xin soon adjusted her mind, suppressing all her emotions. Wu Xin touched the pearl on the hairpin on her head to remind herself. After she calmed down, she smiled and said, “Master, you laughed. I thought you would never laugh.” “Is it weird?” “No, you have a pretty smile. It’s really pretty! Master, you should smile more often. You are so handsome wh
There were excellent chefs in the mansion of Qi Yuan, even not worse than the imperial cooks. After all, Emperor Yun Su sent them here as a gift. However, Qi Yuan, the master of the mansion of Qi Yuan, didn’t need them. He insisted on cooking for Wu Xin every night. The food was barely acceptable and eatable. However, Qi Yuan still enjoyed it. Fortunately, Wu Xin was not a picky eater. She always ate the food he cooked as long as it was not raw. Gradually, Wu Xin became interested in cooking as an onlooker. She didn’t think it was boring and learned how to cook from Qi Yuan. The teacher’s food always looked good, but the taste had not improved at all. In contrast, the food the student made didn’t look attractive. However, the taste was much better. It became a mystery if the teacher was too bad or the student was too clever.Cooking was regarded as their special entertainment. Every day, Qi Yuan enjoyed it so much. He worked while show
That year, Princess Xi, Kong Yue, and Xuan Zhi were also among the crowd. It felt like yesterday that they were having fun together. Wu Xin’s tears had long blurred her view and flowed down her cheeks. She had rarely cried since she started the journey of revenge. Still, it had been her norm to indulge herself in the past and allow herself to be weak during the Lantern Festival on the Seventh Night of July. Slowly closing her eyes, she touched the only ornament on her head, the pearl hairpin, felt the pearl with her fingers, and let her tears flow. She thought of her lover Kong Yue, of everything that happened in the past, and of her love and joy as well as her hatred and sorrow... Wu Xin stood still by the river, singing softly the song Kong Yue taught her again and again. The lyrics were like a reflection of her life, “Wind and sand blocked my view... I wished life could still be a beautiful song under the moonlight when I woke up.” Time flew by.
“Zhi.” “Yes? Yinzhu.” “When everything is over, let’s find a place to live in seclusion! Just the two of us.” “Really? Yinzhu, do you really want to be with me?” “I do, as long as we are still alive.” “We will be, definitely.” “But I’m afraid that you will despise my blood-stained hands and this battered heart...” Xuan Zhi hurriedly stopped her by covering her mouth with his hand, “I don’t care. I really don’t. Yinzhu, you know I have loved you since long ago. From the beginning, you’re the only one in my heart,” Xuan Zhi said, placing Wu Xin’s hand on his heart and letting her feel his heart beating for her alone. Yet Wu Xin continued when Xuan Zhi put down his hand, “But I am no longer the innocent princess I used to be. Both my hands and my heart are not clean anymore, never again. Sometimes I feel like I am so dirty, so dirty...” “Yinzhu, it was no
Qi Yuan didn’t say anything. In his mind, he felt so lucky seeing Wu Xin was willing to marry him and be his wife. Even if she did not like him now, and everything was nothing but a lie. However, he could wait for Wu Xin to change her mind gradually after they got married. He didn’t expect one day she would love him as much as he loved her. He only hoped that they could live a simple life together. Red lanterns were hung up high. The mansion of Qi Yuan was not an old mansion. It was built less than two decades ago, not solemn due to the vicissitudes of life at all. It didn’t have a special design and was just an ordinary house. Half a month later, this mansion was completely renewed on this happy and festive day. The overwhelming and jubilant red color was everywhere. The mansion of Qi Yuan looked warm and full of joy now. Today was the wedding day of Qi Yuan, the owner of this mansion. Qi Yuan’s wedding looked prosperous and joyous o
“Darling, why do you still call me Wu Xin? I’m your wife now.” Wu Xin completely ignored Yun Su’s angry face. She turned around to face Qi Yuan. She even took the initiative to hug him as he was kneeling on the ground and caressed his soft long hair. They truly looked like a loving couple. Yun Su really couldn’t stand it. However, no one would have thought that he would take a sword from an imperial guard next to him. He pulled Wu Xin into his arms with his left hand while stabbing Qi Yuan’s chest with the sword in his right hand without any hesitation. There was a saying that “those who showed off their love would separate quickly.” It was verified immediately. Everything seemed to freeze. No one dared to move, except for Wu Xin, who was struggling desperately. Blood spilled out as the sword left Qi Yuan’s body. He was still kneeling and looking at Wu Xin. Without closing his eyes, he fell straight to the ground while s
