A warm breeze blew into the Cloud Pavilion, rolling up the green gauze curtain embroidered with colorful butterflies.
Vaguely, he could see the beautiful woman sleeping on the bed. In her sleep, the beautiful woman had a faint smile on her face. It was obvious that she was having a good dream.
Suddenly, the gauze curtain was neatly rolled up, and a beautiful girl bent over and called out,"
"Miss, it's getting late. It's time to get up.”
The beauty remained motionless.
The young girl suddenly had a childlike innocence. She quietly took out a small feather fan from the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed and gently scratched the beautiful woman's nose with the tip of the feather fan.
Achoo! Liu Yuanchun sneezed and immediately opened his eyes.
"Miss, you're finally awake. Quickly get up and wash up!”Green Sleeves said with a smile.
Liu Yuanchun was having a sweet dream, so how could he be willing to get up so easily? She turned around and closed her eyes again.
Greensleeves shook her head and began to tickle her master's body-this was the best way to wake her up.
As expected, Liu Yuanchun giggled and sat up.
" Good Luxiu…You, you quickly stop…" Liu Yuanchun said while laughing as he dodged.
After the master and servant duo played around for a while, Liu Yuanchun got out of bed to change his clothes and wash up.
She was almost spoiled.
Liu Yuanchun looked at the gorgeous beauty in the mirror and recalled that not long ago, she was still a student at T University. Unexpectedly, under the teasing of fate, she was now living in the Grand View Garden and became a young miss who was served by others.
When she first arrived, she was anxious to return to her own era every day, but the days in the Jia residence were like a dream. Sometimes, she couldn't help but think, was everything that was happening now her dream, or was it the people in the Jia residence who dreamed of her?
Liu Yuanchun was extremely perplexed.
"How about this?" Lu Xiu's voice entered Liu Yuanchun's ears.
Liu Yuanchun regained his senses, looking at the person in the mirror, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Until now, she was still not used to such a peerless beauty being herself!
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Lu Xiu took a silver hairpin inlaid with a ruby and inserted it into her hair. "How about this? Do you like it?"
Seeing Lu Xiu combing his hair with all her might, Liu Yuanchun suddenly felt inexplicably touched. "Why are you so good to me?"
"Because you're a young lady!"”
"If one day, you realize that I'm not me, will you still treat me so well?”
Green Sleeves was confused. "Greensleeve doesn't understand what Miss means."
Liu Yuanchun thought for a moment and continued," If I say that I'm not a person of this era, but a person of the 21st century, would you believe me?”
"What is the 21st century?" Miss was so strange today, she kept saying things she didn't understand.
"It's a very, very long time in the future.”Liu Yuanchun looked expectantly at Lu Xiu. This was the first time she told someone her true identity.
"How long has it been?" Greensleeve asked, confused.
"Six hundred years later." Liu Yuanchun answered seriously.
Suddenly, Lu Xiu laughed.
"You don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but tell me how you came here after six hundred years.”
"I-I'm not very sure either.”Liu Yuanchun frowned slightly.
Their eyes met in the mirror.
"I don't blame you for not believing in this. After all, even I find it difficult to accept all of this.”Liu Yuanchun paused for a moment before continuing." However, I still have to tell you that the Ming Dynasty will one day destroy the Tartars. All of this is because of a person called Wu Sangui. He…"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuanchun had Lu Xiu cover his mouth.
"Miss!" Green Sleeves was shocked." You can spout whatever nonsense you want, but don't say such rebellious words again. Otherwise, if this news reached the Emperor's ears, it would invite the disaster of extermination.”
Liu Yuanchun pulled away Lu Xiu's hand. " Everything I said is true. Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass for Chen Yuanyuan and destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Later, the foreigners also…"
" Miss--" Green-Sleeves shook her head, her face filled with fear and confusion.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Liu Yuanchun sighed, turned around, pulled Lu Xiu's hand, and comforted her,"
"Don't be afraid, Greensleeve. The future is already decided by the heavens, and neither of us can change it. The most important thing now is to live well. We can only control our own future. Do you understand?”
Greensleeve seemed to understand, but she asked,""Can we really not rely on God for our future and only rely on ourselves?”
"Of course. Believe me, man can conquer nature. As long as you have enough confidence and perseverance, you can do anything!”Liu Yuanchun said firmly.
"Really? Is it okay to be the Empress?" Greensleeve asked innocently.
Liu Yuanchun stared at her and suddenly started laughing sneakily. "What's wrong? I didn't know you wanted to be the Empress!”
"Miss, I'm just asking about something fun."”
Liu Yuanchun raised his eyebrows and his smile deepened. "Yes, it's not difficult to be the Empress. As long as you are mentally prepared to fight for the love of a man with three thousand beauties, as long as you are willing to spend your life scheming against the concubines, and perhaps only see the Emperor a few times, as long as you are willing to live that kind of life, it shouldn't be difficult to be the Empress.”
After hearing this, Green Sleeve stuck out her tongue. "It's so scary. Why don't you just give up?"
Liu Yuanchun couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her adorable wrinkled face.
She did not mean to scare Greensleeve, she was just trying to explain the truth from another angle.
"What's the matter that makes you so happy?" Jia Baoyu appeared at the door.
Liu Yuanchun's gaze shifted to Jia Baoyu, who was walking towards her, and realized that he was really a good-looking person. Especially today, he was dressed in silver-red arrowhead sleeves, pine green flowery silk pants, and thick-soled red boots. It made his face look even more powdered, and his lips looked like they were covered in grease. He was incomparably handsome.
"Greensleeves said she wanted to be the Empress!”Liu Yuanchun laughed.
"Is that so?" Jia Baoyu's gaze fell on Lu Xiu.
The attendants behind Jia Baoyu, Jia Ren and Jia Yi, were secretly laughing in their hearts.
"It's nothing!" Lu Xiu glared at Jia Ren and Jia Yi." Lu Xiu was just joking with Miss.”
Liu Yuanchun immediately echoed,"Yeah! What's so good about being an empress? In my opinion, it would be better to stay in the Jia residence.”
"Well said." Jia Baoyu stepped forward and held Liu Yuanchun's hand." Then, Sister Yuanchun, are you willing to stay in the Jia residence and be my companion for the rest of your life?”
"Pfft! That won't do. One day, I'll return to my hometown.”
"Isn't it good to be the daughter-in-law of the Jia family?”His pair of ink-black eyes seemed to have thousands of emotions.
"Bah! I'm not going to be your wife."
Seeing how charming her shrewdness was, Jia Baoyu had an idea. He dismissed his servants and stared at Liu Yuanchun fawningly.
"It's fine if you don't want to be my wife, but you have to let me taste the rouge on your lips.”
Hah! Come on.
"Don't even think about it!" Liu Yuanchun rejected without thinking.
"Don't forget that day at the birthday banquet, I wrote a poem to help you out.”Jia Baoyu asked.
"Eh? I remember that you weren't the one who spoke first!”Liu Yuanchun crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised his eyebrows as he glanced sideways at Jia Baoyu.
"Really?" Jia Baoyu stared at Liu Yuanchun's tender pink lips with a face full of disappointment.
" No, no, no-" Liu Yuanchun said as he pushed Jia Baoyu out of the room.
"Good girl…"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuanchun closed the door.
Jia Baoyu shouted outside the door for a while before leaving.
Liu Yuanchun heaved a sigh of relief, but the words " Xijiang Moon " suddenly appeared in his mind.
Looking for sorrow and hatred for no reason, sometimes it seems stupid and crazy. Even if you are born with a good skin, your stomach is originally a wasteland. Desperate
He who is familiar with worldly affairs is stupid and afraid of reading articles. His behavior was remote and eccentric, so how could he care about the world's slander!
This phrase was indeed a portrait of Jia Baoyu!
Liu Yuanchun couldn't help but sigh…
Afternoon.
Liu Yuanchun was bored and extremely lazy, feeling a little drowsy.
When the servant girls saw this, they could only think of ways to make her happy. Thus, Green Sleeve came up to her and said,""Miss, the weather is very good today. Let's go to the garden to release paper kites.”
Upon hearing that there would be fun, Liu Yuanchun's spirits were lifted, and he immediately started making paper kites with the servant girls.
"Miss, what should I draw on it?”Greensleeves asked.
Liu Yuanchun thought for a while and drew two butterflies on the paper.
Although painting was not her specialty, when the two colorful paper kites flew into the sky, they immediately received the praise of all the servant girls.
Liu Yuanchun held a thread in his hand and laid out the thread as he retreated. "Greensleeves, let's see who can raise it higher.”In his memory, he had not flown a kite since he was ten years old.
She suddenly recalled the time when she and her father flew kites in the park when they were young…
"Ah! Miss, the paper kite flew away." Green Sleeves shouted in frustration.
Everyone watched as the paper kite drifted away with the wind. In the end, it was hooked by a big tree in the garden and wrapped around the branch.
"What should we do?" The group of people came to the bottom of the big tree.
"It's okay. I'll go up and take it down.”As Liu Yuanchun spoke, he was about to climb up the tree.
"No way!" Greensleeves quickly stopped her. "It's too dangerous. Miss must not go up.”
"Don't worry, I used to climb trees a lot.”After saying that, Liu Yuanchun lifted the hem of his skirt and tied a knot on his knees, then nimbly climbed up the big tree.
"Miss, don't!" Green Sleeves 'face was filled with fear.
Liu Yuanchun waved his hand at her and continued climbing up the tree.
The servant girls saw her climb higher and higher and could not help but worry for her.
And Liu Yuanchun had finally climbed to the top of the big tree. Seeing the paper kite at the other end of the branch, she stretched out her hand to reach forward.
Sigh! Just a little more.
With a thought, she hugged the tree trunk and slowly moved toward the end of the branch.
However, the branches could not bear her weight and slowly bent down.
In an instant, the tree trunk snapped!
Accompanied by the maidservants 'shrieks, Liu Yuanchun had already fallen.
Dead, dead! This time, he was going to fall to his death. Liu Yuanchun shut his eyes tightly. However, she did not land on the ground. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and met a pair of sharp black eyes that seemed to be smiling.
It was him!
"Girls shouldn't climb trees.”Yao Xuanye opened his mouth and stared at Liu Yuanchun's pale and red face with his dark eyes.
Liu Yuanchun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. Only then did she realize that he was still hugging her, as if he had no intention of letting her down.
"Sir, you can put me down now. Men and women should not touch each other.”Liu Yuanchun said provocatively.
Yao Xuanye raised his eyebrows and said slowly,""Then, can you let go of my neck first?”As he spoke, his eyes flickered with a teasing light.
This time, Liu Yuanchun's cheeks flushed red as he hurriedly released his hands.
He was really embarrassed. She actually hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go. She must have fainted from fear.
"Sorry for offending you." Yao Xuanye slowly put her down.
Liu Yuanchun noticed that his gaze had landed on her fair calves that were exposed outside the skirt. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly untied the knot on her knees and let the skirt cover her legs again.
Strange! When she was in T University, she had worn short skirts several times and was never afraid of being seen by others. Now that she was in ancient times, she was actually bothered. Could it be that she had changed her personality?
Would he? It felt like she was still the Liu Yuanchun of the past. She hadn't changed at all!
"Thank you, Lord Yao, for saving my young miss!”Greensleeves stepped forward and said respectfully.
"I won't fall down next time.”Liu Yuanchun said indifferently as if nothing had happened.
"There's a next time?" Yao Xuanye raised his eyebrows.
Liu Yuanchun smiled sweetly at him," In fact, I want to climb again, right now!”After saying that, she turned around and was about to climb up the tree.
"Miss, you can't!" Lu Xiu quickly went forward to stop her.
"Don't block…"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuanchun saw Yao Xuanye, who was dressed in official robes, pull his body upwards. After a nimble flip, he landed lightly on the ground again. It only took an instant for him to rise and fall.
Yao Xuanye walked closer to Liu Yuanchun and handed the paper kite to her.
Liu Yuanchun looked at him and stretched out his hand to take the paper kite.
"Aren't you going to thank me?" He asked slowly before turning around.
"I can go and get it myself, there's no need to trouble Milord.”Liu Yuanchun raised his chin slightly and didn't thank him.
Hearing this, the maidservants at the side all paled.
In Jin Ling City, everyone knew that Lord Yao had a high position and power, and couldn't be offended. Miss Yuan Chun actually dared to contradict him!
Yao Xuanye stared at Liu Yuanchun's stubborn little face, his deep black eyes suddenly revealing a strange luster.
A moment later, he smiled and turned to leave.
After a few steps, he suddenly turned around. "I wonder if Miss Liu can spare some time to make a trip to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant tomorrow?”
Lu Xiu quickly whispered into Liu Yuanchun's ear.
Hah! It turned out that there was a chess competition at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant tomorrow.
"I will definitely be there." If there was a chance to join in the fun, how could she miss it!
"In that case, this Yao will await your arrival.”After saying that, Yao Xuanye strode away, his tall figure disappearing behind the trees.
"Does he often come to the residence?" Liu Yuanchun asked.
Lu Xiu nodded." Lord Yao and Old Master are business friends.”
"Other than being an official, he's also in business?" Liu Yuanchun was slightly surprised.
"Miss, don't you know? Almost half of the taverns and silver shops in Jin Ling City belonged to Lord Yao.”
It turned out that not only was he an official, but he also ran a restaurant and a loan shark.
Liu Yuanchun frowned slightly and said to the maids,""Let's go and release the paper kites!"
In any case, his identity did not matter to her. She only needed to stay in the Jia residence and eat and drink for free. She did not care if the sky fell.
However, for the entire afternoon, Liu Yuanchun's mood could not get better no matter what.
She missed home, her parents, and her friends!
She wondered if they were thinking about her too. Sigh!
The Drunken Immortal Restaurant was the largest tavern in Jinling City.
Early in the morning, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was packed with people who were participating in the chess competition and watching.
The Minister of Rites, Yao Xuanye, had been the winner of the chess tournament for the past three years. Therefore, there were several people who had come from afar today to challenge his chess skills.
The contestants had to go through a complicated preliminary round and a promotion round to eliminate the weaker ones. Finally, one of them would be chosen to compete with Lord Yao.
Liu Yuanchun and Lu Xiu had arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant early in the morning. Her appearance caused quite a commotion in the restaurant. Most people were stunned on the spot when they saw her and only recovered after a long time. Many people lost their chess game because of this.
However, none of the losers blamed Liu Yuanchun for this. On the contrary, they thought that it was a kind of opportunity to be able to see such a peerless beauty in the mortal world, and they could not ask for more.
"Miss, look, 90% of the people here are looking at you.”Greensleeve whispered.
"Let them see." Liu Yuanchun didn't care at all. Her attention was completely focused on the remaining ten percent of people who didn't look at her and were focused on playing chess.
After a while, she raised her head and scanned the crowd for a while before coming to Yao Xuanye.
"Lord Yao." She curtsied.
"Miss Liu, you've indeed graced us with your presence.”Yao Xuanye stared at her without blinking, a captivating light flashing in his eyes.
Liu Yuanchun met his gaze and was speechless for a long time.
This was the first time she looked at him carefully. Regardless of whether she liked this man or not, she had to admit that he was an attractive person.
His face was somewhat unruly, completely different from Jia Baoyu's sculpted face, especially the pair of dark eyes under his thick eyebrows, which carried a teasing but sharp light, like a cunning fox.
Seeing that she was speechless, Yao Xuanye called out softly,""Lady Liu."
Liu Yuanchun regained his senses slightly and hurriedly said,"Can women also join the chess tournament?"”
He stared at her with an unfathomable expression on his face. "You want to join the game?"
She couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had in his voice. Perhaps there was a hint of surprise.
Liu Yuanchun raised his chin slightly." Can't I?”
Suddenly, Yao Xuanye smiled." Yao Fu, bring a chair for Miss."”
"Miss Liu, this way please." Yao Fu looked at this fairy-like girl with a smile.
"Miss, do you really want to join the chess tournament?" Lu Xiu wasn't too surprised. The Young Miss had always been full of ideas.
"See the wall? The winner would get fifty taels of silver!”
"Young Lady doesn't lack money to spend."
"Eh, wrong!" Liu Yuanchun turned around," Silver is never too much. Moreover, I can find some excitement to play along the way. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?”she said excitedly.
Greensleeve sighed and said no more. Anyway, even if he said it, he wouldn't be able to stop Miss. It would just be a waste of saliva.
In the beginning, Liu Yuanchun's actions attracted a lot of criticism. Most people did not approve of women participating in the chess tournament.
Very quickly, after Liu Yuanchun defeated the men present one by one, he started to gain the support of the female spectators. They had never seen a woman use such a method to teach a man a lesson. It was really satisfying!
"Are you tired?" Yao Xuanye sat down in front of her.
If there was anything that could surprise him in recent years, it would be her!
Liu Yuanchun shook his head, but his stomach grumbled.
The smile on Yao Xuanye's face deepened. "Yao Fu, serve the dishes." After a pause, he continued,"Today's participants will be treated free of charge by the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.”
"Yes, sir!"
A moment later, the kitchen brought out delicious dishes. Liu Yuanchun cheered and immediately ate without holding back.
" Miss, Miss, eat slowly…" Lu Xiu's face was red as she reminded him.
"Don't worry, I chew very carefully and won't choke.”As Liu Yuanchun spoke, he stared at Yao Xuanye strangely.
"Why aren't you eating?" Would he be full just by smiling?
"I'm not hungry." His smiling eyes fell on her face.
Liu Yuanchun raised his eyebrows. "Did you poison the food?" she asked casually.
His smile deepened. "I'm not that kind of despicable person." He paused for a moment, and a cunning look flashed across his eyes.
"However, in order to defeat you, I might consider poisoning you.”
What was that? This person…
Looking at the table full of delicacies, Liu Yuanchun swallowed his saliva.
"If you die, then die. Who's afraid of who!" After saying that, she started to eat and drink even more. "Even if Buddha jumps over the wall and dies, I'm willing to be a ghost.”she muttered as she ate.
" Miss..." Green Sleeves called out in an embarrassed voice.
Yao Fu coughed lightly to cover up his laughter.
"Are you really not eating?" Liu Yuanchun looked at Yao Xuanye again.
"Eat as much as you want! There are still many in the kitchen." His tone was almost indulgent.
Liu Yuanchun didn't hesitate any longer and swept the delicacies on the table clean in the shortest amount of time.
"Are you full?" Yao Xuanye smiled at her.
"Yes."
"Then can we start the competition?”
"Bring it on!"
Yao Xuanye's face once again revealed a cunning expression.
"Let's begin!" Liu Yuanchun met his gaze. For some reason, she suddenly felt like she was about to be eaten.
Hah! She was not afraid of him!
Just wait and see. She must win against him, definitely!#
