Chapter 41: How Did He Appear

  The next morning, Qilin was still pulled out of bed by Lü Zhu and a group of maids, saying that after becoming the emperor's consort, she had to pay respects to the emperor every day.

  But who knows how late she fell asleep last night?

  She was dressed in a white camisole and a long skirt, with a light blue gauze tied around her waist by a yellow belt, and a thin yellow scarf draped over her shoulders, looking very refreshing.

  But she's so sleepy... She hasn't been sleeping well lately

  "Ah" let out a yawn... walked away with tears in her eyes

  "Miss? This is not in line with the rules. It's better to be careful." Green Bamboo reminded her cautiously from the side, "It's just ahead."

  "Green bamboo, what's going on? Why is it so strange? The emperor lives in the Drunken Flower Tower, a place of debauchery, and yet he acts as if it's perfectly normal?" Along the way, they hardly met anyone. It was also because the sky had just brightened. Who would get up this early?

  It's just them now

  But the greatest advantage of ancient times is the clear air, isn't it refreshing?

  "Miss, you don't know that the Drunken Flower Pavilion is a place for officials and nobles to indulge in? It's a place where imperial gifts are bestowed upon guests who are mostly court officials or nobles like Mu Qingfeng? Green Bamboo carefully explained, "Although it's a place of debauchery, due to differences in social status, there are also differences in rank. But in the Phoenix Country, she is still the number one person, and this is the residence of Princess Ji..."

  "Understood?" "A mountain is not tall because of its height." Such a principle she still understands.

  That emperor is really infatuated. He can actually do it to this extent. However, these people are really stupid. Worshiping gods in such a place? Even an immortal would be infuriated to death.

  But speaking of Mu Qingfeng, I haven't seen him for a while. Last time, thanks to his Huaying, and I didn't expect him to be the 9th prince of Malachite Kingdom. How could such a heavyweight figure be like what Lüzhú said, a noble person? It's only suitable for super nobles

  Also said when will find an opportunity to return that thing to him

  As she spoke, they arrived at Feng Changqing's courtyard. Unexpectedly, she was the last one to arrive. After a quick glance around, there was no sign of Bu Yao. It was said that she had been assigned to Long Ye, and the rest had all become consorts and empresses. As for her little good man, he naturally became the target of ridicule.

  "Sister sees all the sisters?" walked over and politely bowed. Heard others cold hum, Qilin also didn't mind.

  Xiao Ran magnanimously said a sentence to clear himself and never bothered Qilin again.

  However, they waited with wide eyes for two hours before Feng Changqing's door opened. Jiang Yuancheng walked out from inside, dusting himself off and said in a soft voice, "The Emperor has decreed that today is a busy day with many official duties, so please, all the beloved consorts, return to the palace first and do not need to come to pay respects before returning."

  "I humbly obey the sacred decree of Your Majesty... I, your subject, take my leave..."

  Zi Lin naturally knew that Feng Changqing was not busy with official duties, but rather stayed up too late last night and couldn't get out of bed today. It's really hard for them to get up so early, and in the end, they didn't even see the emperor's face. She also wanted to go back and rest well.

  "Little Master Red Snow, please wait a moment!" Jiang Yuancheng walked over with a twisted waist and smiled as he approached.

  Everyone looked at Qi Lin in confusion. Qi Lin awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth, ignoring the electricity on her body, waiting for Jiang Yuan's words.

  "Did the Emperor say something?" When he said this, Jiang Yuancheng deliberately raised his voice and said, "You've been busy all night, you must be tired. Go back and drink some supplements to nourish your body. There's still a long way to go in the future."

  Hehe... Qilin's face turned red and she lowered her head, stretching out her hand to scratch her ear, but found that her ears were burning hot. She smiled awkwardly.

  "Is His Majesty serious?!" He finished speaking and quickly slipped away.

  Jiang Yuancheng nodded and returned to the house, turned around and bent down, just in time to see Feng Changqing standing outside the window. This look almost scared him to death.

  Feng Changqing actually looked out the window and smiled?? And it was a smile he had never seen before?? The corners of his mouth seemed to be raised unintentionally?? His icy eyes were like a spring at this moment?? Extremely gentle

  What's more ridiculous is that he was actually playing with his chest hair

  "Are you going to gouge out my dog's eyes?!" At this time, Feng Changqing had already withdrawn his gaze and replaced it with an icy expression, saying coldly "You're getting bolder and bolder!"

  "Ah, I wouldn't dare! It's the Emperor's handsome face that has captivated me. Even a heavenly fairy would be powerless against this beautiful temptation. And I'm just an ordinary man.

  Jiang Yuancheng walked over with a bow, knowing that Feng Changqing was in a good mood. With a smile, he continued, "Your Majesty, two days from now is the last ritual to worship heaven. Anbang Wang has already selected the candidates for the Jade Maidens of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Would you like to take a look?"

  Feng Changqing smiled coldly and said, "Is King Anbang handling things properly? Is there anything you're not satisfied with? I have something interesting to tell you."

  "Your Majesty is truly a master of manipulation! Being able to follow Your Majesty's orders, that's the good fortune that this humble servant has accumulated over eight lifetimes! This humble servant would even climb a mountain of knives and descend into a sea of fire!"

  "What's wrong with you? Stop making excuses!" Feng Changqing said impatiently. Jiang Yuancheng immediately knelt down, and Feng Changqing didn't bother to care, playing with the purple jade ring on his thumb. "Do you know about Feng Qiu Huang?"

  Phoenix Prison Phoenix? Jiang Yuancheng was slightly stunned? Shook his head and said "This humble servant's knowledge is shallow? Never heard of it before? Please enlighten me, Your Majesty?"

  "There is a beauty, I forget not seeing her. One day without seeing her, I think of her like crazy. The phoenix flies high and far, seeking the phoenix in all four seas. Alas, the lovely one is not on the east wall. I'll use my zither to express my feelings, just to pour out my heart. Unable to fly, it makes me feel lost...". As he spoke, Feng Changqing had already walked to the desk, holding a brush and painting on the scroll. Before long, he finished with a flourish, looked up at Jiang Yuancheng and asked "What do you think?"

  Jiang Yuancheng heard this and immediately flattered, "Your Majesty, such a masterpiece! I am truly impressed from head to toe. The way you have expressed the emotions is truly unparalleled and unprecedented!"

  Feng Changqing raised the corner of his mouth and tossed the pen aside. "Take a look at this Feng Qiu Huang, isn't it beautiful?"

  Jiang Yuancheng nodded in surprise and walked closer to take a look.

  This sight made his legs go weak and he knelt down with a thud.

  "Spare my life, Your Majesty! Spare my life!" Large beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead non-stop... Jiang Yuancheng's whole body trembled as he knelt.

  Feng Changqing smiled slightly and said, "Spare my life? Your Majesty is just letting me take a look, why do you want my life?"

  "This humble servant... This humble servant didn't know that the phoenix hairpin was a gift from Your Majesty!?" He said, flustered and hastily taking out the phoenix hairpin given by Bu Yao, holding it high above his head, trembling as he spoke "If this humble servant had known, I would never have accepted Miss Bu Yao's... No, it's the queen's gracious gift! Even if you gave me ten heads, I wouldn't dare to accept it, Your Majesty!"

  Looking at Jiang Yuancheng's blue phoenix hairpin in his hand, the workmanship is indeed very fine and has a certain charm to it, one glance and I was drawn in.

  "Even if it's a gift, why be so flustered?" said lightly, turning around without looking at Jiang Yuan Cheng.

  "This humble servant... this humble servant is guilty..." As he spoke, Jiang Yuancheng squeezed out a few tears and said pitifully: "That day, after I finished reading the imperial edict, I carelessly said two sentences that might have been misunderstood by the princess. Your Majesty, I've served you for so many years... You know my temperament best..."

  "Alright, alright?! What's with this attitude?! You're making me sick!" He said impatiently. He didn't have the patience to reason with him at all. It was just that Long Yan mentioned it, and he thought that since Jiang Yuan had followed him for many years, he wouldn't dare take matters into his own hands. "Go receive twenty large slaps, then think about how to make amends! Punishment: half a year of service!"

  Jiang Yuancheng immediately heard and hurriedly cried out in gratitude

  After Jiang Yuancheng left, Feng Changqing called Qin Xiao in "How is it? Have you found out?"

  "Return to the Emperor??" "I only know that he came here two years ago... rarely receives guests... keeps a low profile... nothing unusual..." Qin Xiao raised his hand and said, "Although I have also met with King Anbang several times... but it was just to play chess and taste tea..."

  Is it?

  The last time I talked to Yumu, we both coincidentally mentioned the same person. Is this just a coincidence?

  Qilin returned to her own Rose Garden, originally planning to sneak out and find Yu Mu, but unexpectedly Luzhu came to inform her that Buxiao was waiting for a long time in the main hall.

  "What's it like being the emperor's woman?" Yu Yao looked at Qi Lin with disdain, scanning the furnishings in the room "I don't see the emperor giving you any rewards, still looking so poor and shabby"

  Zhilin also didn't bother to argue, sat down and drank tea, lazily saying "I don't know what noble business the princess has come to my humble abode for?"

  As soon as Wang Fei heard this word, Bu Yao was furious, slammed the table and gritted her teeth, saying "Hmph! You still have the face?"

  "Princess, look!" Cilin pointed at her own face and smiled, "This is my face. How can you say I have no face?"

  "You?" was infuriated by Qilin's actions, and Xieyao couldn't help but want to disfigure Qilin. However, she restrained herself and continued, "Qilin, you've already used despicable means to harm me before, but now you're acting so noble? Yet, didn't you also become the emperor's woman? You walk your own path, I'll cross my own bridge. What did you say about me in front of the emperor? Do you want the emperor to give me to Longyan?"

  Qilin slightly furrowed her brow, looking at the anger in Bu Yao's eyes. So everything was just Long Ye's one-sided love? But what about the affection she saw in Bu Yao's eyes before, was that fake? No, that was clearly liking him.

  Bu Yao didn't answer? Did Bu Yao think that Qi Lin was making excuses to brush her off? She was even more furious! But due to her status, Bu Yao only stood up furiously and pointed at Qi Lin, saying "Hmph! Don't think that using the princess's identity can trap me! One day, I will trample you under my feet and make you cry and beg for mercy!"

  "Bu Yao, this matter I didn't do anything... On the contrary, you... Do you have a clear understanding of your own heart? " Qi Lin retorted, not willing to show weakness. "And what makes you think that the Emperor will listen to my words? Anyway, in your heart, you've already decided it's me... I'd better not say more... If you want to think so, then please go ahead..."

  you

  Bai Yao pointed at Qi Lin, her face red with anger and her body trembling slightly, but she didn't know how to refute him, so she could only turn around and leave.

  Because of Buxiao's arrival, Qilin was also very displeased. In her gloomy mood, she changed into the men's clothing she usually wore and walked to the backyard, dismissing all the servants. She planned to climb over the wall and get some fresh air. Anyway, recently Feng Changqing hadn't given any special orders not to go out.

  It's just that men's clothing is not good at going out in a bright and upright manner

  "Master, be careful! Don't fall!" Green Bamboo watched Qi Lin with concern. Fortunately, she had left a heart and came back to take a look. Unexpectedly, she saw Qi Lin climbing over the wall. But there was nothing she could do, so she could only anxiously shout: "Aiya, Master! Left side, left side! Don't fall!"

  Qilin was panting and out of breath. She had finally climbed onto the wall, wiping away her sweat. But why did she look even more exhausted than the green bamboo? The sweat on her forehead had already soaked into her bangs.

  Wave goodbye and say "Oh no? Don't worry about it? This kind of thing? Can't beat me?"

  "I was going to say that I used to do this when I was at Zhuxian Villa, but I changed my mind. 'Green bamboo, you stay in the house and wait for me, I'll go out for a bit of fresh air and come back soon. Don't follow me! Help me prepare dinner, I'll be back. And remember, don't let anyone know about this matter.'"

  "But what???"

  "Don't be ridiculous! If you're not here, people will think I'm not here either! Isn't this the 'Three Hundred Taels of Silver' situation?! Qilin waved her hand impatiently and turned to continue climbing the wall, but saw a white figure quickly flying away in the distance."

  Qilin's head suddenly buzzed. Isn't that guy Ah Piao? Right, Ah Piao is the nickname Qilin gave to that man because he always appears and disappears mysteriously, flying around.

  Quickly turned his head around ?? Remember Ah Piao's direction ?? Decided to chase after him ?? But in the excitement, he forgot that he was on the wall ?? Lost his balance ???

  "Master?" Green Bamboo lowered her body and shouted. Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling from next door, Green Bamboo worriedly said "Are you okay?"

  After a while... From the other side of the wall came a pained cry "I'm fine... It doesn't hurt at all..."
