"Si Chengfeng, do you think my brain looks like it's been squeezed by a door?"
"Allure-City~"
Si Chengfeng looked at Hua Qingcheng pretending to be angry, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised, and smiled helplessly and dotingly.
"It's no use calling it a country..."
Hua Qingcheng pulled Si Chengfeng's hands to her lips and placed a hot, wet kiss on the back of each hand. Then she gave a slight tug, and Si Chengfeng, caught off guard, fell onto the bed.
"Sister Qingcheng, are you okay?"
Feng Qiyan pushed open the door to the wing room and stared in amazement at her brother lying on top of Hua Qingcheng. Although both of them were fully clothed, it was difficult to avoid misunderstanding in such an ambiguous position.
"Well, you guys continue..."
After calming her jaw, Feng Qiyan turned around, walked out of the room with her hands and feet together, and closed the door silently.
Sister Qingcheng is still injured now, how impatient is her brother? No wonder her brother chased Hua Qingcheng to her house when she was penniless. It seems that her brother really loves Hua Qingcheng!
"Alas, a woman's infatuation can still be talked about, but a man's infatuation cannot be talked about." Feng Qiyan came out of the wing room, muttering to herself and shaking her head as she walked towards the garden in the yard.
"Qi Yan, how is your sister Qingcheng?"
Just now, after Nalan Yunzhi came out of the wing room, he just said that Hua Qingcheng was fine and told everyone to disperse. General Feng and his wife, who were worried, and Feng Cailan were waiting in the garden outside.
So, in the pavilion of Yueting Nanshe Garden, as soon as they saw Feng Qiyan coming out of Hua Qingcheng's room, Feng Jingyun, Mulanjin, and Feng Cailan all rushed forward to ask her. Even Yu Jingyang opened his bright eyes and looked at her with a burning gaze.
"Sister Qingcheng should be fine, but my brother... he might need to copy the 'Men's Rings' a few more times!"
After Feng Qiyan finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back, shook her head, and walked out of the yard, leaving her mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Look what you've done!"
In the side room, Si Chengfeng's ears blushed slightly as he quickly got up from Hua Qingcheng and straightened his clothes. His image as a refined and modest gentleman must have completely collapsed in his sister's eyes...
“I haven’t done anything yet.”
Hua Qingcheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, stood up from the bed and leaned against the headboard, stretched out her finger and touched Si Chengfeng's tender cheek, looking at him in an unkind manner as he made a fool of himself.
"Okay, stop joking. Qingcheng, how do you know the emperor? Moreover, I think she seems to care about you very much?" Si Chengfeng narrowed his fox eyes slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his charming eyes.
"Well..." Hua Qingcheng rubbed her chin, pretending to think seriously, "Maybe it's because I have something on her."
"Yesterday morning, I ran into her in the city trying to sell paintings to a bookstore, but she was chased out by the owner and nearly knocked me over as I passed by. At the time, I thought she was a student who had failed the imperial examination and had no money to return home, so she was forced to sell her paintings. I felt sorry for her and spent ten taels of silver on her paintings. Unexpectedly, she was a man of integrity and refused to accept charity, so she asked me to give her the same amount of silver as the paintings."
"Oh? I didn't expect that you, Qingcheng, and the emperor would have such an adventure. How much silver did you give her later?" Si Chengfeng swallowed and asked nervously.
"One or two."
"One or two?"
Si Chengfeng's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
"Yeah. I saw that the paper and the scroll she used to frame the painting looked quite high-end, so it should be worth one or two taels of silver. So I spent one or two taels of silver to buy the painting from her."
Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Si Chengfeng's expression instantly changed. The implication was that the emperor's paintings were worthless?
"At the time, she even claimed that her paintings were identical to those of the current emperor, whose paintings were coveted by court officials, while hers were criticized by the bookshop owner as worthless. She was very dissatisfied and argued with the bookshop owner, but was kicked out. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her a couple of pieces of advice."
"You...what did you say to her?"
Si Chengfeng's seductive eyes darted towards Hua Qingcheng in horror, his heart pounding with nervousness. This was the emperor, the supreme ruler, who held the power of life and death. This woman before him was always so bold, and he was really afraid she would say something disrespectful.
"I thought her drawing of a cat and mouse was quite lifelike, but she said it was actually a tiger descending a mountain and a chicken eating rice. I told her that the Emperor's painting skills seemed quite poor, and I advised her not to imitate him anymore."
Si Chengfeng looked at Hua Qingcheng in amazement. She was probably the only one who dared to speak to the current emperor like that, and yet she could appear in front of him unharmed.
"It seems that the Emperor's attitude towards you is really different..."
Si Chengfeng had heard from his adoptive mother, the great general, that a court official had once pretended to bang his head against a pillar in the Golden Throne Hall, attempting to "die in defiance" to persuade the Emperor to reinstate the Empress. The Emperor had simply drawn his Imperial Sword and dispatched the official. From that point on, even though court officials would frequently petition the Emperor to appoint a new Empress or a new Crown Princess, no one dared to press the issue.
Si Chengfeng looked Hua Qingcheng over suspiciously. It was obviously unlikely that the emperor, who was so decisive and ruthless, would look upon Hua Qingcheng differently simply because she spoke frankly.
"Qingcheng, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Don't be so direct when talking to the emperor in the future. You have to be more tactful." Si Chengfeng looked at Hua Qingcheng with a worried look on his face.
