The main character in the original book is Crown Prince Qi Jinzhao.
He was handsome and dashing, but had a sinister and unpredictable personality. He loved to wear green.
Xi Xingxue glanced at him and said, "Yes, all correct."
Xi Xingxue glanced again at the man and woman outside the bushes.
Is that woman the Crown Prince's concubine?
Oh, no wonder even the crown prince had to wear a green hat, so that's what it meant.
The imperial concubines all hid in the imperial garden, their bare shoulders being massaged by others!
That's so green!
When the Crown Prince saw Xi Xingxue's face, he raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had just recognized him.
"Imperial Preceptor, why have you come here?"
Qi Jinzhao's face revealed no emotion.
However, Xi Xingxue still felt a strong sense of oppression, and the Crown Prince's hand was always placed not far from his neck, as if he wanted to kill him.
"System, check Qi Jinzhao's hatred level."
System: "Reporting to the host, Qi Jinzhao's hatred value is 500."
Xi Xingxue breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, so little."
System: "Friendly reminder: The hatred value for strangers is 0, while the hatred value for enemies is 100."
So, a hatred value of 500 means five times the number of enemies?
Xi Xingxue felt a chill.
Qi Jinzhao stared at him with his dark and unfathomable eyes: "Is the Imperial Advisor putting on airs again?"
Xi Xingxue shook her head, "No, I just don't know how to answer Your Highness."
Qi Jinzhao showed no smile. "Just say it directly, otherwise I will think you are trying to deceive me."
Xi Xingxue replied innocently, "Your Highness, I was just passing by and was on my way to the Star-Picking Tower."
For some reason, after Xi Xingxue said those words, he noticed that Qi Jinzhao's expression became even colder, as if hail fell in June, strangely chilling.
"The Star-Picking Tower is not in this direction."
Xi Xingxue: "?"
It seems he went the wrong way?
Qi Jinzhao grabbed his neck, his sinister gaze seeming to turn into a tangible needle, piercing through Xi Xingxue.
"It seems that the Imperial Advisor not only deceived me, but also completely disregarded me."
Xi Xingxue had a sudden inspiration: "Alright, actually I'm just embarrassed to tell Your Highness why I'm here, for fear of being impolite."
Qi Jinzhao: "Speak."
Xi Xingxue: "I'm here to relieve myself."
Qi Jinzhao: "Why did you come here?"
Xi Xingxue: "I can't hold it in anymore."
Qi Jinzhao: "..."
His suspicious and probing gaze swept over Xi Xingxue inch by inch, as if trying to discern something from his indifferent and abstinent face.
However, apart from his rather vulgar language, Xi Xingxue's expression was calm, no different from the aloof national advisor he once was.
Qi Jinzhao then let go and released Xi Xingxue's neck.
Xi Xingxue stretched her stiff neck.
Ugh, I never want to eat roasted duck neck again.
"Alright, that concludes today's massage."
The voice of the Crown Prince's concubine could be heard again from outside the bushes.
And that guy too.
"Okay, so next time, will it be the same place?"
"The wilderness is exciting, but too dangerous. We'll find another place next time."
"good."
The footsteps faded into the distance, and the two people seemed to have disappeared.
Xi Xingxue said, "Your Highness, it seems they've left. Let's go outside."
Qi Jinzhao's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at him with some surprise. "You really don't mind making things worse."
Xi Xingxue didn't understand why he said that about her.
Until the two walked out of the bushes.
The next second, a man dressed as a guard jumped out from behind the tree. "I knew there was someone hiding in the grass!"
That voice... belongs to the person who just gave the concubine a massage.
Xi Xingxue and Qi Jinzhao both looked at him.
Then I witnessed the birth of a color palette.
The color drained from the guard's face like a receding tide, turning from red to white, then from white to blue, and finally to purple. He knelt down with a thud, his forehead pounding the ground frantically.
"Your Highness, spare me! It's not what you think!"
Xi Xingxue: "......"
The concubine behind the tree was still hiding and had not come out. At this moment, she was so frightened that she was completely disoriented and her upper and lower lips were trembling.
Until she heard Qi Jinzhao say coldly, "Come out."
The concubine then darted out like a rabbit.
"Your Highness, I dare not deceive you. I was only here to have him massage my shoulders and neck; I did nothing else!"
The concubine's eyes were filled with tears, her pupils dilated to their maximum with terror, and she trembled like a leaf, shaking out dandruff from her hair.
Xi Xingxue looked at it, not knowing what to say.
If it weren't for the fact that half of a bare shoulder was exposed, that would be fine.
really.
Qi Jinzhao said, "Do I need to take off my clothes on my shoulders for a massage?"
The concubine, upon learning of this, was at a loss for words and was utterly astonished.
Fortunately, Qi Jinzhao seems to have a "very good temper".
He said, "Go back and lock yourself up in solitary confinement for three years."
He did not divorce his concubine.
A casual remark: three years of solitary confinement.
The concubine didn't know whether to be happy or cry.
Soon after, he felt resentful again.
But this crown prince... has never touched her, so what's wrong with her having a little affair?
She simply didn't believe that the Crown Prince wouldn't go out and have an affair!
This world is so unfair.
........
The concubine was punished with confinement, and the guard was punished with one hundred strokes of the cane and driven out of the palace.
With this matter settled, Xi Xingxue prepared to go to the Star-Picking Tower.
Unexpectedly, Qi Jinchao followed.
"Your Highness, are you also going to see the world?"
Xi Xingxue asked curiously.
Qi Jinzhao nodded: "Mm."
Xi Xingxue withdrew her gaze and scoffed, deciding not to ask any further.
The two remained silent and began to walk forward. They encountered palace maids and eunuchs along the way, who hurriedly bowed to them.
In the eyes of each of them, there seemed to be a hidden fear of Qi Jinzhao.
Xi Xingxue thought to herself.
No wonder Qi Jinzhao hates himself.
Qi Jinzhao is twisted, violent, sinister, and obsessive; he enjoys it when others fear him.
But ironically, this imperial advisor was not afraid of him; he was the only one who treated him with disdain.
Therefore, Qi Jinchao disliked the Imperial Advisor.
Xi Xingxue didn't care.
His mission is simply to survive; he doesn't need to win over anyone.
He neither interferes with nor takes action regarding the "love" between the main characters.
Soon, the two arrived at the Star-Picking Tower.
The building has seven floors, and the rooftop is equipped with an observatory and other equipment.
As night fell and a chilly breeze blew, Xi Xingxue grew hungry.
But not all the stars have appeared yet.
Observing celestial phenomena and stars is extremely important.
There were no eunuchs or palace maids on the rooftop; Qi Jinchao was still standing there.
Xi Xingxue couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, aren't you hungry?"
Qi Jinzhao countered, "Are you hungry?"
Xi Xingxue yy.
This prince is definitely a questioning type of person.
Xi Xingxue said, "Your Highness is of noble birth and must not go hungry, so you must eat something."
Qi Jinzhao fixed his gaze on his face and suddenly smiled faintly.
"Heh, it's the Imperial Advisor who's getting hungry."
