Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Painting & Invitation
"Don't lower your chin and gaze, miss." Min Boming exclaimed at the instruction he had so often given. "Please hold on for a while, I'll finish it sooner." His wrinkled face grew serious with flowing sweat, he focused on the painting canvas.
Benak Xiu Qixuan grumbled nonstop, both of his legs had already felt numb standing for nearly two hours. He wanted to move and change positions but Min Boming kept rambling.
If you know this—Xiu Qixuan will not choose a garden to be used as a background for shooting in paintings. Because the air in late mid-spring is already hot, the sun shines brightly.
Both of his eyes glanced sharply at Xiao Rou who was relaxing under the cool pavilion roof, huh how irate.
Looking at the employer's sullen face, Xiao Rou gave a small giggle back.
Suddenly, there was a cry that Xiu Qixuan had been waiting for until it felt like dying.
"It's done perfectly!!" Min Boming said alone with her sparkling eyes staring at the results of her hard work.
It's like breathing air again soon after a long time feels suffocated. Xiu Qixuan sighed violently then twisted and stretched her body without caring about any etiquette anymore.
There was no Yao Yunmei or the Head of the Housekeeper here. So it's okay to forget the etiquette for a moment.
"really amazing. You become more like a real noble lady who is virtuous and noble compared to the original, Miss." Xiao Rou looked at the painting results and then joined in exclaiming praise along with a faint hint of ridicule.
Min Boming clenched her lips cheerfully in response; "Great Miss Xiu, already working hard. I'm sure if the Princes are watching, they'll instantly fall into your beauty charm." Either he was really praising her or was trying to curry favor with kind words.
Xiu Qixuan snorted stifledly and immediately approached to take a look at the picture of the painting.
The greenish landscape is a background painting that shows the charm of freshness and beauty of a beautiful girl. Her bright watery eyes drooped slightly, giving off a delicate and gentle impression that attracted attention. His red lips that were deliberately pulled flat did not smile, adding to his cold sharpness.
Xiu Qixuan blinked faintly in surprise, she admitted that this was the result of a beautiful job. But if it stands out too much—it won't end well for him.
"I'll keep it for later immediately sent to the Palace." Min Boming waved a hand giving his assistant an order to immediately clean up the equipment and the painting canvas.
Then after a while Min Boming again bowed low to pay his respects. "Then I say goodbye, Miss. Have a nice day."
Xiu Qixuan's flat face looked solemnly at Min Boming's back who had drifted away walking out of the park.
"Xiao Rou's..." He called slowly.
"Yes, Miss. What's your order?" Xiao Rou quickly responded, she asked but in her heart she already understood.
Xiu Qixuan calmly said; "Find out when the painting was delivered." He then smiled widely until his eyes narrowed as if he was talking about something pleasant. "I feel uncomfortable because there is less in some parts. So, isn't it better to add a little paint and ink? Let Xiao Taoli do the part for me."
Xiao Rou felt shivering at the sinister implied smile; "I understand." He answered straightforwardly.
By the time they stepped in to head back towards Manor Xing. In front of them a disturbance came. Xiu Yue along with her escort servant walked over calmly smiling which somehow disguised a mockery.
"Yue'er said hello to Biaojie." Xiu Yue deliberately just bent a little more of her waist to salute. He doesn't really bend the body according to etiquette.
Xiu Qixuan shot a cold look. He immediately understood Xiu Yue's intent of deliberately exposing the condition in some parts of his body.
Xiu Qixuan's face changed rapidly forming a sharp flick of humor, he laughed a little straightforwardly mockingly without shamelessly saying; "It seems Young Master Qu played so rudely. Seeing that you can't bend both your legs properly."
Those who heard it were astonished, not expecting that an unmarried girl could shamelessly bluntly blunt every sentence she spewed.
Xiao Rou silently pinched Xiu Qixuan's waist to whisper in a stifled growl; "Miss, hold on and watch your words..."
'ugh...'Xiu Qixuan grimaced slightly, she simply blinked one eye back to tease Xiao Rou who was already flushed in embarrassment.
Then Xiu Qixuan again said flatly to Xiu Yue; "What brought you to come see me?"
Xiu Yue immediately cleared her throat, stabilized her expression again and said; "Can't I come to see Biaojie - I will soon become Wangfei?"
Xiu Qixuan smiled obliquely, in disbelief; "Heh, that's right. Didn't you come to watch over me who has received an invitation to enter this palace at the behest of Wei Guifei niang niang."
Xiu Yue walked calmly towards one of the chairs and sat down comfortably then said indifferently; "Aiyaa, how irate I am. Biaojie, don't misunderstand me. You are very lucky to go to the Capital and marry one of the princes."
Xiu Qixuan smirked.
His two feet slowly stepped closer, Xiu Qixuan stood before Xiu Yue and immediately leaned over; "Then immediately go get a divorce and come to replace me, Yue'er biaomei." He whispered sharply with a heavy tone full of pressure at every beat of his sentence.
Xiu Yue's body stiffened feeling the sensation of coldness piercing her back.
Xiu Qixuan re-enforced her body, the look under her eyes was emitting a cold impression. He turned to step.
Looking at Xiu Qixuan's distant back. Suddenly, the unmoved Xiu Yue said recklessly; "Biaojie, you should manage to get your partner this time. To avoid the terrible and gloomy condition called 'Old Grail'."
He waved a hand gesturing for the attendant's orders. "I'm inviting you to Mayor Qu's House. There will be a banquet for Wei Guifei niangniang."
Xiu Yue's maid of honor, Lingling. Immediately gave the invitation to Xiao Rou.
Xiu Qixuan's steps came to a halt. His facial expression was still stable without any wrinkles.
Without turning back, Xiu Qixuan uttered with a hint of indifference from behind his back; "Xiu Yue, I'm afraid you pay more attention to me than your husband." He continued with more horrific attacks. "My advice as a woman is better if you beautify your body and focus on having a baby in your stomach. It was very helpful to keep Young Master Qu under your two feet. Because if you don't...."
"The Mayor's residence may soon welcome more beautiful and beautiful flowers to decorate it." Xiu Qixuan glanced at Xiu Yue from the corner of her eye tail and snorted; "Yue'er Biaomei could calm down. Because Biaojie - you'll come with a wedding present." Then after finishing his words Xiu Qixuan took another step and left in a smooth motion.
Xiu Yue's face became dull. He looked at Xiu Qixuan's back with his horrible eyes as if trying to swallow her.
