#43. Strange rumors in Li's hometown
After Han Zhao and Goddess Annchi reached Li's hometown, Goddess Annchi immediately withdrew Han Zhao's hand slowly, and took her to the clothes shop.
There, Han Zhao could see many of his Hanfu with various motifs as well as colors hanging in his place, all neatly arranged there. Of the many Hanfu that he saw, only one hanfu made Han Zhao amazed. Hanfu was dark red, as well as having a strange floral motif on the part of her robe.
"What's Hong Li?? Do you like that hanfu??" the goddess Annchi asked as she looked at Han Zhao who kept looking towards the red hanfu in front of her.
"E-eee.no goddess, I'm just looking at you"
"If you like her, why not take her??"
"E-eee???"
"That's okay, take it and go to the dressing room, to change your wet clothes" Dewi Annchi said as she walked towards the seller who was busy with other buyers.
"Okay goddess.thank you"
Goddess Annchi nodded slowly without stopping her steps "I'll wait for you outside"
A little while later Han Zhao walked out of his dressing room, then went to meet the goddess Annchi who was waiting for her, outside the shop.
Goddess Annchi smiled as she saw Han Zhao standing not far from her, using a red hanfu, as well as a long decomposed white mane, adorning the red color of her hanfu.
Not only the goddess Annchi, but the residents and sellers around her, also smiled to see Han Zhao who stood while bowing his head, covering his face that was blushing in shame.
"Come here, Hong Li" call the goddess Annchi.
Han Zhao nodded slowly, as he walked towards the goddess Annchi who kept staring straight at her "...."
"You look really pretty" said the goddess Annchi who was fascinated by Han Zhao's current appearance.
"E-eee??? Ta-tapii, dewii.I am a man, you cannot praise me with pretty words" Han Zhao said as he lowered his head.
"I know that"
"Diamond...."
"Well, can we go back now??"
"Sure, I'm sorry to trouble you, Goddess"
"Ah...Why do you always say sorry?? After all this is not at all troublesome ko"
"That's right.... I feel like I've been troubling you a lot"
"Here you go, stop saying nonsense things, we better go back, you need rest to recover your messed up thoughts" the goddess Annchi said as she led Han Zhao back into the forest.
As Han Zhao and Goddess Annchi were walking towards the gate of Li's residential town, Han Zhao was curious about the many people's talk about Li's family residence.
"Do you know, the current emperor Haocun Li, is looking for a new concubine" ... "Really?? Why did I just hear it?"
"Do you know, the current emperor Haocun Li has gathered thousands of his warriors to bring his second son, Hong Li back to the kingdom"
"Ahgg-I did not expect at all, Hong Li hated his own father so much" .... "Are the rumors about emperor Haocun Li true??"
"Hey, do you remember the young man who told us at that time about the rumors of emperor Haocun Li with his son Hong Li, really spread widely throughout the residence" ... "Huh?? Really?? Is the current emperor Haocun Li hiding inside his temple??"
"Hey Come on, stop talking about nonsense rumors" .... "What makes no sense?? This all sounds obvious, right?? even god-level emperors alone, intervened in this rumor"
Han Zhao squinted his eyes, the speech of the residents in the market all flashed into Han Zhao's ears, On the other hand, Goddess Annchi was astonished when she saw Han Zhao stop her steps, and, stand up while clenching his hands. The look on his face, as well as the aura from his spiritual energy was also quite strange..
"Hong Li??" summon the goddess Annchi with her slow voice and awaken Han Zhao from her reverie.
"Dewii.wait a minute, there's something I want to do" Han Zhao said as he walked towards one of the groups of people talking on the edge of the market.
"Excuse me uncle" Han Zhao said.
"Yes, Miss, is there anything we can help you with??" ask one of the men.
"There's something I want to ask you guys, okay?"
"Of course, Miss"
"Eummmm...Have there been any rumors lately??"
"There's Miss"
"What rumors??"
"Some days, a black-robed young man came to the middle of the market, he carried a few scrolls of letters in his hands, the young man shouted in the middle of the market, he was carrying several scrolls of letters, telling that emperor Haocun Li was going to remarry, and was looking for a concubine who was to his liking, after the news spread, the girls in the city were even from his other residence, his, he came to the temple of Li's residence to write their names in the queue of the girls who would be chosen directly by the emperor Haocun Li"
"When did the registration end??"
"If it's not wrong, the day after tomorrow is over Miss"
Han Zhao nodded understanding "Then?? Are there any other rumors spread by the young man??"
"She, Miss"
"Continue..."
"Yesterday he came again to the middle of the market, all over his body was really seriously injured, at the time the surrounding residents offered drugs on him, but he refused firmly, but he refused, then he said Be careful with the emperor Haocun Li, because soon, great destruction will occur between the emperor Haocun Li and his son Hong Li.."
"..." - ".Han Zhao was speechless as he thought of who the black-robed young man was, why could he say such an impossible thing??
"That's all I know, miss, I'm sorry if it doesn't help you that much"
"A-ahhh no uncle, thank you for telling me about the rumor as well as the young man"
"It's okay, Miss"
"Then I leave uncle's farewell, I once again thank him for his information" Han Zhao said as he greeted the men there.
"E-ehhh, wait a minute miss" called one of the men there as Han Zhao was about to leave.
"Yes??"
"Can we find out what your name is??"
"Of course uncle, why not"
"....Ahh..really??"
"Yesa, my name is Fang Yin" Han Zhao said, introducing herself to her artificial female name.
"Fang Yin??"
"That's a beautiful name, just like you"
Han Zhao bowed in embarrassment as he walked away leaving the men who kept talking about him.
'It's a concubine??' murmured Han Zhao while looking towards his palm.
'Then wait for me......I-i-i...."
