Chapter 77: Damn! The original male protagonist!
Liu Dehai quickly changed for a new pen, lowered his brows and eyes, and didn't dare to say anything or ask.
How many pen has broken already?
The emperor's temper is becoming more and more capricious. Living with him is like living with a tiger.
Xiao Yu called Ying Yi and told him to send a secret guard to keep an eye on Yan Ruyu. If Liu Zhiyuan didn't go to Fuqing Palace in two hours, he was to inform Yan Ruyu that Concubine Chen would be coming and ask her to be more restrained.
After Ying left, Xiao Yu picked up the memorial again, but could not read a single word.
How many times has this happened? How many times has this happened!
In Zining Palace, after Liu Zhiyuan recovered, he immediately went to Fuqing Palace.
She would stay in Fuqing Palace tonight and leave after that time period, so that Yan Ruyu would not have the chance to hang out with Zhou Kang.
Yan Ruyu was very surprised when she arrived at Fuqing Palace.
"Yuan'er, why are you here?"
"I was bored in the palace, so I came to talk to you."
Liu Zhiyuan walked over and saw her embroidering a purse again. She frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you embroidering something again?"
"I'm so bored. It's so dull in the palace. I don't know what to do except embroider things for Zhou Lang."
During the day, you can stroll around the Imperial Garden and other places, but at night, you really have nothing to do.
It just so happened that the things I made for Zhou Kang before were all embroidered mandarin ducks, but now they all need to be changed to swans, which can be embroidered for a long time.
Liu Zhiyuan sat down and asked tentatively, "You have nothing to do tonight?"
Yan Ruyu waved the half-embroidered purse and said, "Isn't this a problem?"
"What else? Is there anything else?"
"No, why are you asking?"
Liu Zhiyuan frowned. That was strange. Didn’t Yan Ruyu make an appointment with Zhou Kang in advance?
Then how did Zhou Kang get in?
Zhou Kang was a foreigner, and it would have been impossible for him to enter the harem without Yan Ruyu's cooperation.
Just as he was thinking, footsteps were heard behind the screen. Liu Zhiyuan looked up and met Zhou Kang who came out.
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Zhou Kang, “…”
Yan Ruyu, “…”
Zhou Kang's face changed and he subconsciously stepped back.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. "Why is there a man in your room?"
Didn’t she just say that everything was fine tonight and that there was a man hidden in the room called “It’s fine”?
Yan Ruyu was extremely calm, "This is Zhou Lang, he just arrived, I didn't know he would come tonight."
After saying that, he called out to the screen, "Zhou Lang, come out."
Liu Zhiyuan was confused. Are you two so blatant?
Also, what did she mean by she didn't know he would come tonight? Could Zhou Kang have entered the harem by himself?
"How did he get in?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
Zhou Kang had already walked out from behind the screen. Yan Ruyu smiled at Liu Zhiyuan and said, "I'll tell you later."
She stood up, walked over and took Zhou Kang's arm affectionately, "Zhou Lang, this is Liu Zhiyuan, the Empress Liu. She's pretty, isn't she?"
Zhou Kang stared at Liu Zhiyuan's face with a somewhat fixed gaze, and nodded blankly, "It looks good."
Looking at Liu Zhiyuan's face, any man would be shocked by her beauty, unless he is a man with a mental illness like Xiao Yu.
Zhou Kang, a completely normal man, had a genuine reaction when he saw a beautiful woman. Then he heard Yan Ruyu's sinister voice beside him, "Really? Who is prettier, her or me?"
Zhou Kang shuddered all over, his will to survive erupting. He turned his head and looked at Yan Ruyu with a look so firm that it could have been used to join the Communist Party. "You are beautiful, you are the most beautiful!"
Yan Ruyu slapped him on the head with such force that Zhou Kang, a weak scholar, staggered and almost fell.
Zhou Kang touched his head aggrievedly, "Xiaoyu, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl. I was a little dazed. It's just like seeing a beautiful flower on the roadside. I'm simply admiring it. There's no other intention. Don't be angry."
Yan Ruyu glared at him and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Zhou Kang squeezed her hand and smiled flatteringly, "Xiaoyu, don't you understand how I feel about you?"
"Really? Then why aren't you wearing the clothes I embroidered for you last time?"
"Yes." Zhou Kang quickly lifted up his shirt, revealing the ugly white duck on his pants. "Look, I'm wearing pants."
"I'm talking about the clothes. The swan on the pants is completely covered up and can't be seen at all."
Zhou Kang was speechless.
What she embroidered was not a swan at all, it was clearly a duck, and such an ugly duck at that, it was impossible to wear it out.
How embarrassing.
"I don't care, you have to wear it, otherwise people will think you're single and try to hook up with you."
Zhou Kang lifted her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, "Don't worry, I only like you, and no one else can take you away."
Liu Zhiyuan's clear and cool gaze swept across Zhou Kang's face.
The way this person speaks feels weird.
Was there a term for girls in ancient times? Aren’t they all called girls or young ladies?
And Zhou Kang...this name sounds familiar.
But she couldn't remember which character it was.
That shouldn't be the case. She only skimmed through the text at the time and couldn't remember many of the characters. The ones that left a lasting impression on her should be the more important ones.
When Zhou Kang noticed Liu Zhiyuan's gaze on him, his scalp went numb.
Don’t, don’t look at the beauty. Don’t you notice that Yan Ruyu looks at him more and more as if she wants to beat him up? You’ll kill me if you do that, you know!
Yan Ruyu also noticed that Liu Zhiyuan was paying special attention to Zhou Kang, and looked at him with confusion, "Yuan'er, why are you staring at him?"
She was very confident that Zhou Kang would never have any second thoughts about her.
Liu Zhiyuan would definitely not look at Zhou Kang. After all, there was Xiao Yu's face that was so handsome that it made women jealous. Zhou Kang's face, which could only be described as pretty, was not good enough.
Liu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Your name is Zhou Kang, right?"
Zhou Kang nodded, "That's me."
"Do you have any other names?"
Zhou Kang was confused and looked at Yan Ruyu to ask what she meant.
He only has one name, how could he have any other names?
Yan Ruyu was also puzzled. "His name is Zhou Kang, and his courtesy name is Pingsheng."
The name is Pingsheng, Zhou Pingsheng?
Liu Zhiyuan almost jumped up.
Oh shit!
The original male protagonist!
"What male lead?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Only then did Liu Zhiyuan realize that he was too shocked and spoke out his true feelings.
His face suddenly froze.
"No, nothing. I just meant that I read a storybook before and there was a person with the same name as you, haha." So embarrassing.
Zhou Kang's pupils shrank slightly.
He said calmly, "So that's how it is. My name is quite common, and there are many storybooks with the same name."
After that, he said to Yan Ruyu, "Xiaoyu, I haven't eaten yet. Can you ask someone to prepare something for me?"
Yan Ruyu looked at him deeply and said, "Okay."
She turned around and went out, told Qiao'er to prepare snacks, and dismissed all the palace maids. She looked up, glanced at the eaves, took out a stone in her hand, and threw it lightly into the darkness.
The secret guard hiding there flashed in the darkness and disappeared into the night.
Inside the hall, a hint of doubt flashed across Liu Zhiyuan's eyes.
Why does it feel like Zhou Kang is deliberately sending Yan Ruyu away?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Zhou Kang suddenly say, "The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth."
