Chapter 79 Langzhi's Mistress
The morning light was crisp and clear, and the thin mist had not yet dissipated. Still half-asleep, Su Yuyao was pulled up by Qingyue and embarked on the damp mountain path.
"Your Majesty... I'm still sleepy..." Su Yuyao said, rubbing her eyes. "Can't you go by yourself?"
Qingyue hurried ahead, "Yao'er! I sent you to learn something! What would it look like if I went by myself?!"
Seeing Qingyue's anxious expression, Su Yuyao pouted and muttered, "What's wrong with you... you have to drag me along just to go on a secret rendezvous..."
"Yao'er! Hurry up!"
"Here they come! Here they come!"
Su Yuyao lifted her skirt and ran into the manure drying yard, shouting, "Grandpa Langzhi! Grandpa Langzhi! I'm here!"
"Yao'er's here!" Lang Zhi greeted her with a smile, then looked at Qing Yue behind Su Yuyao and said, "You two are here so early today!"
Qingyue smiled, her eyes filled with affection, "Couldn't you have come earlier?"
"Why not? I'd love for you not to leave tonight!" Langzhi said with a silly grin.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyao quickly covered her mouth to stifle her laughter. "Grandpa Langzhi! The Empress woke me up before dawn just to come see you as soon as possible! How about... you let the Empress stay tonight so I can get a good night's sleep..."
"Yao'er! You're still talking nonsense! You were slapped for nothing yesterday!" Qingyue scolded, her face flushed.
"Why are you scolding Yao'er! Yao'er didn't say anything wrong. Why don't you stay tonight..." Lang Zhi smirked and reached for Qing Yue's waist, "The two of us..."
Snap!
Langzhi received another slap on the face.
"It doesn't hurt!"
Qingyue raised her hand again, but Langzhi grabbed it.
Langzhi stroked Qingyue's fair and delicate hand and said, "These little hands, you slapped her so well..."
"You're so unserious!" Qingyue pulled her hand back, tucked a stray hair behind her ear, and said softly, "I'll go cook, you guys go and come back quickly!"
Langzhi watched Qingyue busy in the kitchen, and her empty heart instantly felt full.
He made no attempt to hide his love, and shouted at Qingyue with a strong voice, "Tuanyue! Wait for me to come back!"
Looking at Lang Zhi's meaningful smile, and thinking about how she had melted under Lang Zhi's caresses yesterday, Qing Yue's heart began to flutter with excitement and anticipation once again.
Su Yuyao seemed to have gotten used to the stench of feces. She didn't notice the genuine affection between the two adults, but instead climbed onto the wooden cart and shouted, "Grandpa Langzhi! Let's go!"
"Yao'er! Don't cause trouble! Don't get into any trouble!" Qingyue shouted from the kitchen doorway.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Langzhi! Keep an eye on Yao'er! Don't let her get her hands on her!"
"Don't worry, Tuan Yue!" Lang Zhi replied with a smile.
The mountain road wound its way through the muddy ground. Su Yuyao sat on the wooden cart, swinging her legs, and inhaled the damp fragrance in the air. This unique, fresh scent, mixed with grass and dew, made Su Yuyao feel refreshed.
"Grandpa Langzhi! When are you going to marry the Empress?"
Langzhi did not reprimand Su Yuyao like Qingyue had, but sincerely said, "I want to marry her, but I'm afraid that you, Lady Qingyue, don't want to!"
"Why don't you want to marry? Your Majesty's feelings for you are so deep, otherwise she wouldn't be busy washing your clothes and cooking for you, and even..." Su Yuyao covered her mouth and chuckled again.
"That's true, but Your Lady Qingyue has too many unresolved issues. Even if I bring it up, she won't agree!"
"You didn't even mention it! How do you know they disagree? If Your Highness truly wants to marry, any reservations can be overcome!"
"Hey? Yao'er," Lang Zhi stopped and turned to look at Su Yuyao, "Don't you know the Plum Blossom Divination? Help Grandpa calculate whether your mistress would agree if Grandpa proposed to her now."
"Hurrah!"
Su Yuyao randomly cast a hexagram. Grandpa Langzhi was an elderly man, so she chose the Qian hexagram. The wooden cart was the Zhen hexagram; the upper trigram was Qian, the lower trigram was Zhen. The main hexagram was Tian Lei Wu Wang (Heavenly Thunder Without Delusion), the hour was Yin (3-5 AM), and the third line was moving. The changing hexagram was Tian Huo Tong Ren (Heavenly Fire Fellowship). Fire overcomes metal, the external force overcomes the body! Very inauspicious!
Su Yuyao smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, let's wait a little longer, I'm afraid..."
Although this answer was within Langzhi's expectations, he was still somewhat disappointed. "Sigh, I knew it wouldn't work... Well... never mind..."
Langzhi gave a wry smile and continued pulling the cart on his way.
"Grandpa, your marriage is here, don't miss it..." Su Yuyao looked at the somewhat lonely figure from behind and suddenly felt a pang of sadness...
"Lord Rōori! Good morning!"
"Didn't you sleep all night... haha..."
You must be exhausted!
The aunties and grandmas who came out to empty the chamber pots were all making fun of Langzhi.
Langzhi wasn't annoyed, and said with a smile, "The fatigue isn't on you! So don't get your hopes up!"
"Oh! We're not hoping for it!" An old woman pointed excitedly to the yard next door and said, "We're just afraid that some people will be hoping for it but won't get it!"
Following her mother's finger, Su Yuyao looked over and saw a small, detached house with the gate slightly ajar. Peeking through the crack, she could see a clean and tidy courtyard, suggesting that a neat and efficient person lived there.
Just as Su Yuyao was about to walk over, Lang Zhi called out to her, "Yao'er, you go to the next one first!"
"Why?" Su Yuyao stood on the steps, looking at Lang Zhi's guilty face, and asked, "Who lives here? Can't I know?"
"Ah! Brother Langzhi! You've come!" A soft, lingering breath escaped her lips, gentle and weak, yet captivating.
Su Yuyao shuddered. Brother Langzhi?! That's far too ambiguous!
She turned around abruptly, her eyes meeting a pair of proud breasts. A red bodice with gold thread peeked out from between her breasts, revealing the deep cleavage. A loose pink outer garment draped lazily over her smooth shoulders, wrapped around her breasts and held in place by her fair, slender fingers. Her defined collarbones, fair neck, round lips, and upturned eyes conveyed a sense of amorousness with every blink and a seductive smirk.
Something's not right! Something's really not right! With a woman's intuition, Su Yuyao keenly sensed the special atmosphere between the woman in front of her and Lang Zhi.
"Ah... Sister Yuqing, um..."
Yuqing?! Su Yuyao turned around and glared at Lang Zhi, who awkwardly cleared her throat, "Um, the chamber pot..."
"Hehe! Brother Langzhi, haven't you always been the one to come in and collect these things?" Yu Qing smiled and said, "Yesterday, I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't leave the door open for you this morning. What's wrong with you today? You're being so polite...hehe!"
"Ah... um... I'll go in... to get it?" Lang Zhi pretended to scratch his forehead, blocking his eyes from glancing at Su Yuyao.
Su Yuyao gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes at Lang Zhi, then turned to Yu Qing and forced a disdainful smile, "Aunt Yu Qing, I'll go in and get it!"
"Huh?" Yu Qing looked at Su Yuyao and sneered, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient..."
"Inconvenient?" Su Yuyao glared and shouted, "It's convenient for Grandpa Langzhi, a grown man, to come into your room every day, but it's inconvenient for me, a little girl, to go in and get a chamber pot? Is it the inconvenience of the task or the inconvenience of the person?!"
"You!" Yu Qing was enraged by Su Yuyao's attitude. Blocking the door, she said in a raised tone, "Miss Yao'er! This is my courtyard! I have the right to let whoever enters, and I also have the right to refuse entry to whoever enters!"
Seeing Yu Qing's expression, Su Yuyao became interested as well. She lifted her skirt, bared her arms, and bumped into Yu Qing, saying arrogantly, "The entire Immortal Mountain belongs to Xuanfeng! And Xuanfeng is mine! Within the Immortal Mountain, I can go wherever I want! No one has the right to stop me!"
After saying that, she kicked the door open and entered, glancing around the yard. Undergarments and shorts were drying in the yard, and a hot breakfast was laid out on the table inside.
This isn't just about asking Langzhi to fetch the chamber pot; it's likely that Langzhi came to fetch more than just the chamber pot before!
Yu Qing pulled her clothes tighter and called out in a sweet voice, "Brother Langzhi! Are you just going to watch like this?"
Langzhi quickly waved his hand to stop Yuqing from speaking.
Su Yuyao turned around and glared at Lang Zhi, who was winking at Yu Qing. "Grandpa Lang Zhi! Are your eyes bothering you? Did you see something you shouldn't have seen?"
"Oh dear, Yao'er! What are you saying... Hehe..." Lang Zhi said with a smile, "Your Lady Qingyue instructed that you are not allowed to do it, let Grandpa do it!"
"Oh! Grandpa Langzhi is so obedient?! Could it be that you were allowed into Aunt Yuqing's courtyard by the Empress's permission?!" Su Yuyao raised her voice, attracting the attention of the gossipy women around her who craned their necks to watch with great interest.
Su Yuyao turned around, looked at the chamber pot in the corner of the yard, stepped forward, picked up the pot with one hand and supported the bottom with the other, and threw it forcefully at the bib, shorts, and hot food on the square table.
"Ah!" Yu Qing was completely terrified by Su Yuyao's actions. She watched as Su Yuyao scattered her filth all over the room and yard, and her stomach churned.
Su Yuyao threw the excrement and urine, then smashed the chamber pot into Yuqing's exquisite little kitchen before walking out of the yard with satisfaction. She said to Yuqing, who was gagging, "I'm sorry, Aunt Yuqing, your excrement and urine are so smelly and stinky that I really couldn't carry it and accidentally spilled it."
"Yao'er! How could you..." Lang Zhi was also a little angry at Su Yuyao's actions. Just as he was about to glare at her, he saw Su Yuyao angrily standing with her hands on her hips and walking towards him.
"What's wrong with me?!" Su Yuyao asked matter-of-factly.
"Oh, nothing much..." Langzhi's momentum weakened.
"Let's go!" Su Yuyao glared at Lang Zhi.
Langzhi reluctantly pulled the cart, looking at Yuqing with lingering affection, while Yuqing looked at Langzhi with a pitiful expression.
What a tragic pair of lovers!
"Yao'er..." Langzhi carefully scolded, "You went too far just now..."
"How is this going too far?" Su Yuyao said angrily. "Grandpa Langzhi! If you've already developed feelings for this Aunt Yuqing, you shouldn't have bothered with the Empress! How is the Empress supposed to face herself after what you've done?!"
"What feelings do I have for Yuqing?! Don't tell your Lady Qingyue such nonsense!" Langzhi quickly retorted. "Yuqing is a wandering immortal worshipped by our temple. She doesn't have much to do, so she just helps me make me something to eat, wash my clothes, and stuff like that..."
"No wonder your kitchen is covered in so much dust! All that concern from Her Majesty is for nothing!" Su Yuyao was so angry she jumped up and down. "So you do have somewhere to eat! Since you're already eating with Yuqing, why are you still thinking about marrying Her Majesty!"
"Of course I want to marry you, Lady Qingyue! I only love her! I have nothing with Sister Yuqing!" Langzhi said confidently.
Su Yuyao scoffed at Lang Zhi's assurance, "Nobody would believe that!"
"Yao'er, don't talk nonsense!"
"I won't expose it myself, but I will never help you cover it up!"
"Yao'er!" Lang Zhi said with a fawning smile, "We should keep it a secret for Grandpa... Your Lady Qingyue has such a bad temper, if she gets angry, neither of us will have a good outcome."
"Pah! Shameless..." Su Yuyao muttered.
The sky was already bright, but the sunlight was blocked by layers of moisture. The damp air condensed into water droplets on Su Yuyao's eyelashes and soaked through Langzhi's clothes.
"It looks like it's going to rain. Let's go back, Yao'er! Remember, don't say anything carelessly!" Langzhi instructed.
Su Yuyao pouted and remained silent.
