Send the cold to open the small garden, welcome the spring into the upper forest. The silk strips change the color of willows, and the fragrance flows into the heart of orchids. Waiting for flowers to drink, leaving snow to play the piano. I am ashamed to accompany you, but I have seen the deep kindness of the emperor in vain.
After the winter when all living things were asleep, the world gradually recovered because of the arrival of spring. This season was always beautiful, with beautiful scenery and beautiful expectations. People always compared falling in love to the arrival of spring. It was unknown when, but the custom of the Hundred Flower Festival had appeared in Shengyang, tacitly agreeing that it was an opportunity for unmarried men and women to get to know each other.
The Hundred Flower Festival was very famous among the people. It often attracted the young masters and young ladies of the official families to come, more or less bringing in some other nature, tainting this beautiful custom with dust. Although the imperial family knew their intentions, they did not interfere much. Firstly, they did not have a dignified reason, and secondly, they did not want it to end just like that. The imperial court changed rapidly, and it was not something that could be controlled by the alliance of officials.
The Shengyang Lake today was even more lively than before. The green mountains in the distance were green and glistening, and under the thin layer of fog, they seemed to be surrounded by immortal Qi. The lake water in front of them was glistening, dazzling under the faint sunlight. The peach blossoms in front of them were lovable, and they looked beautiful and enchanting under the gentle breeze.
The pink gauze curtains hanging from the four corners of the pavilion fluttered in the wind. It was like a dream. There was a stone table in the pavilion with a zither and incense. A few plates of fruit were very pleasing to the heart. The nine-turn corridor connected to the pavilion was also hung with pink gauze curtains. It looked picturesque under the surrounding peach blossoms. The tender grass on the ground popped up, silently telling the spring.
Surrounded by the beautiful scenery and the fragrance of flowers, young and outstanding scholars and beauties came together. The beauties were like flowers, but they made the flowers lose their luster. Women with various temperaments held flowers in their hands. They looked shyly at the young talents in the crowd, and their hearts were beating wildly because of nervousness. It was unknown what they thought of, but their cheeks were flushed, making them especially beautiful and moving.
The man also made everything around him lose their luster. His appearance was different but all of them were outstanding. They really dazzled the beautiful women. They talked about the women present with their companions, either teasing or seriously. Sometimes, their eyes accidentally met with a beautiful woman and they smiled slightly, causing the other party to want to look but did not dare to look. They were really teased by their good friends.
A streak of white approached from afar. Her black and thick hair was tied into a ponytail by a white brocade. Her handsome eyebrows were like swords that pierced into her temples. Her phoenix eyes were charming, and she was flirtatious in a blink. Her delicate nose was high, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. The corners of her lips were indifferent but not lacking in warmth. Her face was portrayed with a gentle and friendly expression.
The tall and slender figure wore a pure white brocade robe and a similarly pure white gauze coat. The lapel was embroidered with exquisite and beautiful epiphyllum flowers, and there was a milky white belt around his waist. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a soft sword wrapped around it. A jade pendant hung from the hilt, and the fiery red tassel swayed with his footsteps. The jade was warm and smooth, and the color was even and flawless. It was indeed a high-grade jade. He was wearing black brocade boots.
The man carried the lazy and adorable black cat in his arms. His entire body seemed to be surrounded by a layer of fog, so ethereal that it was impossible to probe further. It also gave people the feeling that he would disappear at any moment. After such an outstanding appearance, the Shengyang Lake, which had been abnormally lively just a moment ago, became silent. Everyone was mesmerized by him, holding their breaths and unable to speak. It was as if the moment they opened their mouths, they would break this scene.
The elites lost the ability to think. Their faces were red as they looked at the man who was walking over. It was unknown who was the first to come back to their senses and kneel down to kowtow." I pay my respects to King Jing."”
This voice broke the silence. Everyone was called back to their senses and continued," I, a commoner, pay my respects to King Jing.”
Gu Mo Xi smiled gently, her warm palm stroking the black cat in her arms, her voice moving with joy," Everyone get up, don't ruin the festival because of this king."”After saying that, she walked towards the boat beside Shengyang Lake. Her pure white back was as unreal as an immortal.
All the women, especially the young ladies of the official families, were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. They tidied up their clothes and touched up their makeup. In the past, King Jing, Gu Moxi, had never appeared during the Hundred Flower Festival. They didn't expect that he would suddenly appear today. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they were lucky enough to be chosen by him, would there be fewer good days in the future? After a series of actions, all the beauties ran to the lake by boat, making the boatman smile from ear to ear.
Of course, the men would not let go of this opportunity either. They were one step ahead of the beauty and boarded the boat. King Jing's talent was obvious to all. If they were lucky enough to be recognized by him, would they not have a chance to display their ambition?
For a moment, the boats on Shengyang Lake were shuttling about. Fortunately, the lake was big enough, or else dozens of boats would not be able to move even if they were crowded together. The boatmen were smiling as they propped the boats up, greeting each other when they passed by. The men and women who boarded the boats stood on the deck and looked at the boats with the King Jing's Manor's logo, their eyes eagerly watching the cabin door, waiting for Gu Moxi to come out.
In the elegant cabin, Gu Mo Xi was lying on the soft couch with the black cat in her arms. She opened the window to let the cool breeze in from outside, ruffling his brocade-like black hair. Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and her gaze fell gently on the black cat, the corners of her lips curling up into a warm smile.
The black cat was lying lazily on its warm and soft belly, its chubby claws scratching Gu Moxi's clothes. Its seemingly pure and bottomless black eyes looked at the scenery outside with a layer of haziness, as if it was intoxicated by the picturesque scenery.
Xi 'er, sleep if you're tired." Gu Mo Xi knew that the black cat was sleeping at this time. Seeing the misty look in its eyes, she opened her mouth to persuade it. No matter how good the scenery was, it couldn't be better than letting it rest.
The black cat stood up and yawned lazily. It walked to Gu Mo Xi's chest and lay down. Its furry little head rubbed against her before it closed its eyes and went to sleep. It didn't see the man's gentle and warm expression. His warm palm caressed the black cat's back as if he was comforting her.
In the spacious cabin, a man and a cat were getting along with each other warmly. A silent warm current flowed around them, adding a touch of thick brush to the blossoming spring. Suddenly, a melodious voice like an oriole sounded from outside the ship," King Jing, my daughter Liu Shiyan has admired you for a long time. I wonder if I could board the ship and have a chat with you."”
Liu Shiyan was the only daughter of the Minister of Works. She was kind, virtuous, educated, and reasonable. She was the role model for all the women in Saint Yang City. Her father had always had a good reputation in the imperial court, and Gu Moran was very satisfied with him. At home, many families envied her father's kindness and filial piety. Now that she had abandoned her modesty and signaled to Gu Moxi, everyone present was either surprised or gnashed their teeth.
However, her pleasant voice was rather harsh to Gu Mo Xi. Her gaze fell on the black cat's slightly opened eyes and she frowned. Without any hesitation, she coldly refused," Miss Liu is kind. This Prince is resting."”
Hearing this, Liu Shiyan's face turned pale. She left with her servant girl under the mocking gazes of the surrounding people. The tears in the corner of her eyes made the men pity her and wanted to chase after her to comfort her.
Lan Xi thought that with Liu Shiyan as an example, they wouldn't bother her again, but she didn't expect that she underestimated Gu Moxi's charm. After Liu Shiyan left, the voices of the women outside rose and fell. All of them wanted to get on the boat and have a chat with him. Although they said that they wanted to have a chat, everyone knew what they were thinking. They felt depressed and opened their mouths to bite the man's fingers.
"Hiss ~" Gu Moxi was in pain, but she didn't take her finger out of the black cat's mouth. Her expression was sad, but her phoenix eyes were warm."Xi 'er, this has nothing to do with me. You can't be jealous."”
The black cat suddenly let go of her mouth and turned its head to the side."Who's jealous? I'm just angry and can't sleep. Who asked you to be so beautiful? Hmph ~" The thick sourness in her voice could be heard by anyone.
And he said he wasn't jealous. Gu Mo Xi refuted in her heart, but she said," Yes, it's my fault. It's all my fault for giving birth to me so beautiful."”
The words of coaxing went straight into Lan Xi's heart, but she still snorted coldly and did not say anything. Don't think that you can get away with it just by following her instructions.
"King Jing, my daughter Yu Yan!"
The black cat bit Gu Moxi's finger again before she could finish her words. There seemed to be a fire burning in her black eyes.
Gu Moxi did not care about the pain in her fingers. She gently scratched the little black cat's tongue with her fingertips. The warm touch made her heart skip a beat. She remembered the sweetness of kissing Xi 'er's lips last time. A glint flashed across her eyes. When would she taste it again?
The black cat, however, felt as if it had been struck by lightning. It opened its mouth and scurried under the brocade blanket behind the bed. Its reddened face could not be seen in the darkness, even though it was covered by fur.
Gu Moxi looked at the bed and smiled. Her heart was filled with sweetness. Xi 'er had really given him a surprise today. She would be so jealous and shy that she would hide. Didn't this mean that he already had a place in her heart? It was like a calming pill that dispelled his many days of hesitation and helplessness. He had incomparable confidence in the future.
Just as he was about to go over, he heard a voice from outside again." King Jing, I'm Wang Yun."
F * ck, it was actually a man this time! The black cat that was hiding under the blanket was furious. It poked its black head out and said angrily," Gu Mo Xi, you actually have both men and women. I'm here to play, not to see you fall in love. Tell them to get lost."”Then, it shrank back.
Gu Moxi felt wronged." Xi 'er wronged me. Heaven and earth can see my feelings for Xi' er."”After a moment of silence, when he saw that the black cat was not moving, he turned around and opened the cabin door in amusement. His voice turned cold and distant." Today is the annual Hundred Flower Festival. Please don't mind this king's celebration. This king doesn't like noise."”
So what else could they say? Although it was a pity to miss this opportunity, they couldn't afford to offend His Highness. They informed the boatmen to dock. Some people who didn't give up and wanted to fight for it could only sigh and leave when they saw Gu Moxi decisively close the hatch. They comforted themselves that without King Jing and others, this Hundred Flower Festival would finally be the same as in previous years.
Gu Mo Xi closed the hatch door and quickly walked to the bed. She took off her clothes and hid under the blanket. Her warm hands picked up the black cat and placed it on her chest, gently stroking its fur. She couldn't help but smile as she held the black cat's paw and kissed it. She couldn't help but smile.
The black cat was lying on its trembling chest, feeling the stuffy feeling in its heart disappear with this kiss. A touch of gentleness appeared in its ink-like eyes. It opened its mouth again and bit Gu Moxi's finger that had teeth marks. This time, it controlled its strength very well. The slight itch of the light touch made both of them feel electric currents at the same time.
