Yan Shiyue reined in his horse and asked, "Chen Rong?"
Chen Rong said anxiously: "My father is Chen Yu, the governor of Chenzhou, and I am..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Shiyue nodded: "Come in."
Chen Rong quickly agreed and followed her in, subconsciously touching his face, thinking that it was said that His Highness Fu Yan liked beautiful women... Could it be because he was good-looking?
As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I met a young man head-on. He was dressed in a brocade robe, smart and handsome, like a banished immortal.
Chen Rong instantly felt that he was overthinking.
Yan Shiyue didn't know Xiao Tangzhi was there, so she asked him, "Are you done?"
Xiao Tangzhi smiled and bowed, "Yes."
Yan Shiyue nodded and said, "Please sit wherever you want." As he walked in, he said, "Call Xiao Hongdou out and tell her that it seems her brother is here."
Chen Rong was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then Yan Shiyue went straight to change clothes.
...
...
After changing clothes and kissing the children one by one, the Shen brothers and sisters had already finished crying and were sitting together with red eyes. When she saw her come in, Shen Rong rushed over and bowed: "Thank you, Lord, for saving my sister's life."
“You’re welcome, please stand up.” Yan Shiyue didn’t help him, but walked around him and sat down. Shen Hongdou immediately stepped forward to pour her tea.
Yan Shiyue drank a few sips before smiling and saying, "By the way, I have good news for you. Your father is coming back."
Faced with a situation like her, Shen Rong didn't care about being polite and climbed up by himself. Shen Hongdou asked happily, "Really?"
Yan Shiyue smiled and nodded. Chen Rong bowed again: "Thank you, Lord!"
"Hey! Don't thank me," Yan Shiyue waved her hand: "This has nothing to do with me. I just asked. This is my brother's decision."
Chen Rong said with an expression of "I understand everything": "Yes, I understand."
Shen Hongdou asked: "Then...what about Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess?"
"Why should I care about her?" Yan Shiyue said, "She is now a wife of the Jia family. Can she still care about your family's affairs?"
Shen Hongdou looked at her brother hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Yan Shiyue comforted her: "Don't worry, when your father comes back, he will be someone she can't afford to offend."
Shen Rong's eyes flashed.
In other words, after Shen's father comes back, he will definitely have real power! A new emperor appoints new ministers. Could it be that the Shen family will rise again one day?
Yan Shiyue said: "Okay, do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Rong was a little embarrassed by such an obvious expulsion, but Chen Hongdou was a smart girl who had already figured out her temper. She stood up with a smile and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, can I let my brother stay for a day?"
Yan Shiyue hummed, and Shen Hongdou bowed and pulled Shen Rong down.
Seeing that no one was around, Chen Rong whispered, "Hongdou? If you do this, will the Prime Minister..."
"Don't worry," Shen Hongdou said, "Her Highness is a very good person! She doesn't care about these little things!"
Chen Rong remained silent.
But being able to stay in the palace for one night is equivalent to being related to her, and the benefits are huge. Even Princess Jiahui has to be cautious, even if she is a little shameless.
Over there, Yan Shiyue called Xiao Tangzhi over and asked him, "Is everything done?"
"It's done." Xiao Tangzhi said with a smile, "I've tried it a few times myself, and I want to ask the master to try it."
"Okay!" Yan Shiyue agreed immediately, "Let's try it tomorrow. It happens to be their day off."
Xiao Tangzhi said, "Also, there's a man who's been approaching me these past two days, and seems to want to find out about the master. He only knows that I'm from the underworld, and seems to think that I'm... ahem," he whispered, "the master's lover or something like that. I'm going to find out his ways, so I'll report to the master first."
Yan Shiyue didn't ask any more questions: "I know."
Chen Hongdou was very tactful. She knew her embarrassing status and seldom went out. The two siblings were talking in the room when someone came and invited them to eat in the front.
Now that there were many people at home, Sun Wuniang and the others were sitting alone, so they pulled Chen Hongdou over to sit, and Chen Rong was directly invited to the front. When his name was called, Chen Rong bowed repeatedly.
Xu Wenqu waved his hand: "No need to be so polite."
Everyone took their seats. Yan Shiyue told them about the new strange house and invited Xu Wenqu and the others, as well as Chen Rong. However, her direct subordinate Qu Sinian was so busy that he didn't even come back for dinner and had no time to go. The others were all ready to go and have some fun.
Xiao Tangzhi built two strange houses beside the original Qianli Road. One was built purely for scholars and was said to be very difficult, called "Deng Chan Palace". The other was built for the playboys to have fun, and it was said to involve a wide variety of knowledge and was very interesting, called "Xiao Yao You".
Yan Shiyue took Huo Qijing to go on a leisurely trip.
As soon as the door was closed, she walked away teasing him, "Little Jing, are you afraid of the dark? Do you want me to hold you by my side?"
Xiao Tangzhi, who had just sat in the control room: "..."
He stood up decisively, quickly closed the door, pretended that he had never been in, and then went straight into Dengchan Palace.
Yan Shiyue really forgot that people would hear her talking here. She just felt that this dark environment was very suitable for flirting.
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Huo Qijing's reply. When she turned around, Huo Qijing was gone.
The wise and brave hero Yan was still very afraid of the dark. She thought it was nothing to be afraid of, but this kind of environment was very scary. She said, "Huo Qijing! Huo Qijing! You bastard! Get out now! I'm going to be angry!"
The last sentence sounded sobbing.
A gust of wind blew past her, and she was held in his arms. Huo Qijing said with a smile, "I've seen it all! A 'master' who can't even last a single round!"
Yan Shiyue was so angry that she picked up his hand and took a bite.
Huo Qijing smiled and hugged her: "Okay, don't be angry, I'll take little Ayue to see her, okay?"
This person is no longer as kind-hearted as before!
She complained inwardly while tightly holding his hand and walked forward angrily.
The theme of Xiaoyaoyou is the story of a young master who took the wrong path and mistakenly ended up in one strange country after another. It feels a bit like Flowers in the Mirror, with stories like the Upside-Down Country and the Two-Faced Country. It is not scary but very funny, with endless fantastic ideas.
She found that this house was indeed more difficult and more adult-like than the previous Thousand Miles Journey. Many of the small mechanisms were really ingeniously designed, and she had to make full use of everything in the house in order to get out.
Moreover, the scenery and characters were all lifelike. After playing for a while, Yan Shiyue admired Xiao Tangzhi very much. This is what a versatile person is! He can do anything well!
When they came out, they found out that two hours had passed and Xu Wenqu, Huo Qiyang and Chen Rong had not come out yet.
Yan Shiyue asked: "So long? Isn't it a bit too difficult?"
Xiao Tangzhi smiled and said to her, "You can also make it simpler, and there are two places in the middle to put food. If the delay is really long and you don't want to give up, you can provide food and water."
Well, they waited for more than a quarter of an hour before the three of them came out. Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "It's really harder than passing the imperial examination."
It was mainly mischief. In some places it really took both hands and feet to break the deadlock. At the beginning they couldn't let go and it really took a lot of time.
