The Little Consort's
Eps. 17: Letter to My Beloved Brother
During the day, Xingyue Palace looked as desolate as it was uninhabited. The two palace eunuchs on duty were sent away by Li Anlan out of nowhere. He banned the two eunuchs from returning if the sun had not set. The Xingyue Palace owner wanted to enjoy the free time quietly without any interference and without any disturbance.
Li Anlan's recovered health condition makes the woman again free to do whatever she likes. Currently, the courtyard of Xingyue Palace he used as a place of recreation and entertainment. The small courtyard was designed in such a way, decorated to look like a photo studio.
Incidentally, his DSLR camera is still on and working. Li Anlan had to carefully capture the moment of his existence in this past land.
The woman forced Xie Roulan to become her model. Since two hours ago, Xie Roulan has changed clothes and hairstyles five times. Li Anlan's skillful hand managed to make Xie Roulan's innocent face bright. Although her makeup was simple, but because Xie Roulan was good at taking care of her skin, Li Anlan had no trouble making touch ups on that innocent face. The results of his makeup are not inferior to the famous MUA. Xie Roulan's face is no less beautiful than Kelsey Merrit, a Southeast Asian supermodel who has appeared on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk. Although oriental-faced, Xie Roulan was in fact already naturally beautiful.
The waiter refused to be dressed. He said he was too low. Li Anlan's hands did not match touching her ugly face. But, Li Anlan continued to persuade and force her until Xie Roulan had no choice but to comply. When dressed up, Xie Roulan repeatedly removed the lip-splitting and blushing, so Li Anlan had to tie her servant's hand with a shawl. Xie Roulan was truly feeling tormented. Moreover, the clothes he was wearing were expensive clothes belonging to Li Anlan, his proud employer.
“Mistress, I beg you to stop shining that strange thing,” Xie Roulan pleads whenever the “cekrek” sound from Li Anlan's camera goes off. But, his employer seemed to deliberately care about his hearing.
“A minute. Roulan, point your head to the left and raise your hand on your forehead!”
Czechoslovak.
It was a shot dozens of times. Li Anlan was amazed at the camera's shots. He is not a multimedia boy. But, the background of his extensive social environment made Li Anlan have many friends who are experts in multimedia affairs, including portraits. Li Anlan learned from them. So, the shots are pretty good too.
Xie Roulan was only able to be free from his suffering an hour later. As Li Anlan finished her final shot, the servant girl immediately ran into the bathroom to remove the makeup on her face. He also changed his clothes back to the maid uniform he used to wear.
All sorts of jewelry and hairpins on his head were removed leaving only one simple hairpin. In less than an hour, Xie Roulan had already returned to being a servant with the simplicity and innocence of his face.
Li Anlan was very satisfied. He feels he has a new hobby. His boring days were a little more colorful. With these portraits, Li Anlan will not forget that he is a traveler from the modern world who accidentally traveled through time. The reason he used the camera to take pictures of Xie Roulan was because he forgot where to put his phone. In fact, Li Anlan was completely unaware that the phone was in Long Ji Man's hands.
Speaking of Long Ji Man, the man had not come to see him since the incident at Lake Houchi the past few days. Thankfully, Li Anlan was able to relax. The female bullies also did not come to bully or bully him. The day was like a wind. Not long-tail and did not make Li Anlan back hassles.
Merely, Li Anlan could not travel outside Xingyue Palace. He was forbidden to leave the palace without the king's orders. It seemed, the detention of Tao Zhun and Xiao Biqi arguing with him was reported to Long Ji Man.
Listen, the king directly ordered the guards to lock the gate of Xingyue Palace on the grounds that Li Anlan did not want to see anyone. The only people who were given access to the palace were the two eunuchs and Xie Roulan, with limited authority. In one day, they were only allowed to enter and exit Xingyue Palace three times.
Li Anlan immediately cleaned up all of his belongings after he aimed at Feiyun Mountain three times. The rocky mountain peak was sparkling like silver. Li Anlan recalled his desire to climb the mountain. A moment later, his face turned sour as Long Ji Man did not give him permission at all. Let alone Feiyun Mountain, the man even locked it here.
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Li Anlan still had an older brother. Li Afan might be able to help her get out of this palace. He wanted to sneak out for a while, to find out what kind of Dongling Kingdom he was currently in. Li Anlan wanted to know what kind of crowd was out there. Is it the same as in drama? Li Anlan wanted to make sure of that. He also wanted to know what kind of inhabitants were so obedient under the king's orders.
“Roulan! Get me paper and ink!” his orders were with Xie Roulan. The servant girl went straight inside, then came out carrying a blank sheet of paper and a brush complete with ink.
As for the contents of the letter if translated into spoken language the sound will be like this:
“To my handsome and beautiful sister. Your sister is not keeping quiet. The joints are stiff because they are confined in this remote place. The food is also tasteless and bad. The guards in front of the gate there were extremely ferocious, even carrying spears and swords. This Li Anlan of yours could not come out for fear of being pierced by the spear tips or swords of the guards. The ice cube king also purposely locked me up and gave me no salary.
My good and rich brother Li Afan, help your sister. Let his eyes be refreshed by seeing something different, not just this great wall like before me. You don't want your brother to be blind and more stupid, do you? Then you'll have to help me.
My dear brother, don't forget our brotherhood. Don't forget that you still have a sister with concubine status. You don't want this concubine's sister to suffer more, do you?”
Xie Roulan who saw the writing of her master laughed out loud. He felt funny because Li Anlan's writing was still as ugly as before. In fact, this one seems to be worse than last time.
“Do not laugh! I don't usually use ink!”
Obviously if the writing gets bad. In modern times, Li Anlan rarely writes, even writing using a ballpoint, not a swab ink like this. Also, in modern times, Li Anlan more make writing through typing on a laptop or mobile phone. Wearing liquid ink and rough paper, of course, the first time he used it.
“But, sneaking outside the palace is a violation, Mistress.”
“I know.”
“Mrs sure His Majesty the King won't get angry?”
Li Anlan sighed in annoyance.
“She even locked me here. Going to see the scenery for a while does not seem to be a big problem.”
Li Anlan folded his letter paper into a small square. Li Anlan placed the letter in Xie Roulan's palm, then told her to leave from before him. Li Anlan again enjoyed his free time by swinging on the hammock. The wind blew his hair, occasionally the wisteria tree where he wrapped the rope swayed.
Life without burden is fun.
