Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...
"What? Let you choose a concubine?" Qin Yuan suddenly jumped up from the dragon bed.
"Who the hell came up with this suggestion? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Qin Yuan slammed the bed angrily.
Yan Jiaoran held up her head and said with a smile: "Chen Wujiu, your senior brother."
“This is outrageous!”
Qin Yuan was furious.
I understood it all at once.
You are so good, Chen Wujiu!
This guy is hitting me!
This stupid girl is only twenty years old, why are you in such a hurry?
In my previous life, I didn’t even graduate from university.
Having a baby is a personal matter!
Is it my fault that this stupid woman’s belly is weak?
Look at your junior sister!
We'll definitely be fine, no problem!
Yan Jiaoran pursed her lips in a playful yet captivating way, then opened her mouth slightly and said with a half-smile, "You bastard, I said I had to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods in two days, so I pushed it off. I barely managed to bear the pressure."
"If you don't work harder, next time your senior brother does something weird, I won't be able to stop him."
"How about you look for someone new?"
Qin Yuan shook his head.
Just forget it.
It is not easy to find an excellent employee like Chen Wujiu who is willing to work hard and brainwash himself.
"Let him wait!"
Qin Yuan was so angry that he pushed Yan Jiaoran onto the bed.
"I'm going to Fengshan this time too!"
"Stupid woman, don't even think about running away!"
Yan Jiaoran chuckled, and her fair smile was like a blooming mountain lily, pure without a trace of impurities.
She was very stupid before, really.
Palace struggles for favors and so on.
She has a huge advantage!
Yanran is also good.
Jinlian, too.
How could anyone possibly snatch it from me?
The bastard who originally didn't want to travel far was forced to go to the Taishan Palace with him.
Hehehe——
The second one, she is determined to get it!
…
spring.
It is the season when all things come back to life.
At dawn, before the mist had dispersed, a magnificent and colorful convoy of people set out from the newly renovated imperial city and headed towards Mount Tai.
The golden dragon descended and defeated the Huns.
With such achievements, it would be unreasonable not to go to Feng (Chun) Chan (You).
Li Yinhuan rode a tall white horse, wearing heavy armor, and walked at the front of the team.
She was the security team leader for this trip, and was specially arranged by Qin.
The pretext is to communicate with the empress.
Yan Jiaoran had no doubts and really missed the lively and lovely Li Yinhuan, so she agreed.
Wei Wuyin, Li Dejian, a large group of Taoist/Buddhist masters, plus the elite soldiers in the army, and the court's ceremonial officials accompanied them, a total of more than 3,000 people.
With the lesson from last time.
Whenever he went on a long journey, Qin Yuan would bring enough people with him and feel extremely safe.
The scholars were dignified, the warriors were vigorous and powerful, and the alchemists had an immortal air, which attracted cheers from the onlookers.
The group left Jingzhou in a grand procession and headed straight for Mount Tai in a glorious manner.
…
For several days.
Qin Yuan is very hardworking.
It even got to the point where Yan Jiaoran was a little overwhelmed.
He found an excuse to get rid of Qin, took Li Yinhuan and Jinlian's arms, and ran out to play.
For her, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, everything outside the palace is still very new.
The three of them accidentally came to a dense and verdant bamboo forest.
Yan Jiaoran walked forward, raised her hand to push aside the bamboo branches and leaves blocking the way, and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Li Yinhuan hurriedly followed and took a few steps in the dense bamboo bushes with her head covered. Suddenly, the road ahead became clear. She looked up and immediately cried out "Wow".
It turned out that there was a small pond lying in the embrace of the bamboo forest. It was surrounded by white stones, and the place where it met the soil was covered with tender green moss. There was a lush and refreshing air everywhere.
The clear blue water of the pond is even more charming. Under the rays of sunlight that penetrate the bamboo forest, it quietly reflects the green bamboos around it. Just looking at it can make people feel cool to the heart.
Yan Jiaoran said in surprise: "What a beautiful place."
Li Yinhuan looked around, somewhat puzzled, and said, "This pond is definitely not completely natural. The white rocks surrounding it must be man-made. It was built in this bamboo forest for the sake of shade and tranquility, but why isn't there even a path?"
"Maybe there was a path originally, but because it was abandoned for too long, it was covered by the new bamboo." Yan Jiaoran speculated.
Li Yinhuan stretched her neck to peer into the center of the pond. She saw a deep, dark green beneath the clear blue. She said, "This pond seems very deep..."
"Well, the water is so clear, but you can't see the bottom." Yan Jiaoran continued.
Li Yinhuan stared at the bamboo leaves floating on the water and said hesitantly, "There's not even a small fish... Why do I feel like there's something strange about this pond?"
Yan Jiaoran said with a smile: "With you and Jinlian here, and that bastard and the army outside, what problems can there be?"
"Don't think too much, let's enjoy it, um..."
"Although this place is remote, there might not be anyone coming here. Good sister, please go outside and watch for me. I'll soak first, and then you can take the bath later."
Li Yinhuan laughed and said, "Aha, so you want Jinlian and I to be the lookouts."
"Let's take turns. Jinlian and I will help you keep watch later." Yan Jiaoran said with a smile.
"Okay, hurry up." Li Yinhuan responded readily and crouched down to get out of the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, she paused and glanced in a hidden direction.
Then, with a playful look on his face, he curled up the corners of his mouth, picked up a stone and flicked it out.
Theoretically, if you get hit right on the forehead, it should be very painful, right?
But since I didn't hear any screams, I just assumed there was no one around.
Thinking of this, Li Yinhuan giggled, twisted her strong but voluptuous waist, turned around, put her hands behind her back, tiptoed lightly, stared at this position, and backed away.
She seemed to have eyes on her back, and although she was walking on the winding forest path, she didn't stumble at all.
After turning left and right, we exited the bamboo forest in a moment.
A sly and playful smile appeared and disappeared, and her eyes were as bright as the sea of stars on a moonlit night.
Qin Yuan covered his forehead and took a deep breath.
Isn’t this Li Da Niu too cruel?
This is an attempt to murder your husband!
What if it’s broken?
It hurts so much!
But, hehehehe——
