Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Swallowing Reverse!
Autumn Day, Two Months Later.....
POVS. Xiu Qixuan's.
Red mosquito nets decorate the room scented cedana. The room was filled with the scent of incense, and along with the scent of perfume as well as thick powder, it was strongly mixed making me feel fed up.
The bronze glass in front of it reflected a beauty stroke wrapped in a wedding dress. My outstretched fingers touched the faint makeup that filled my head, this looked dazzling with pearl phoenixes and embroidered peonies. Wedding dress made with red silk rolls, there is a embroidery phoenix tail arising from the stitching of gold thread. Emitting glory that cost quite a bit of money.
But all these looks... It doesn't match the cold face I put on.
Haa..
Sighing in rough breath. My gaze fell on the fold of a yellow paper that was on the table. With a pierced feeling, I ventured out, opened and read everything that was set out there.
^^^[For, Xuan'er.^^^
^^^How are you, baby? Are you all right? Spring, summer, autumn and winter. Many seasons have changed, but I'm waiting for the season where I can see you back. Am I not so self-destructive? You hate me so much, don't you?^^^
You were in pain the last time we parted and I cursed myself for it.^^^
^^^ I don't know anymore, how many quills I need to write all this down. But, Xuan'er...^^^
^^^I'm sorry.^^^
^^^ I will not explain anything to justify myself. Because I have nothing to explain. For all that is broken. For all that is lost. For you and Xiao Bao.^^^
^^June.]^^^
"Huh, shit! I shouldn't have opened this."
My voice trembled, my fingers squeezing the paper and tearing it into trash scattered on the floor. It was a handwritten letter belonging to someone very familiar, Sima Junke.
While in the temple, Master Biyan gave me this letter. But I don't have enough courage to remember it.
I'm certain. I can hold a lot of things. Cheap feelings like love have long since crystallized. But life is unbearable. The cuddle that swallowed me to the bottom. I thought my heart was almost frozen. I thought I was okay with all this. I guess it's okay if I remember her for the last time.
"Suckhead."
The words came out of my lip. I tried to reset my breath which strangely felt claustrophobic. The inside of my throat was hot. Both my eyes felt sore. I bit my lower lip, holding back the crack that was about to explode.
Tests..
A warm thread descended from my eyelids, flowing into my cheeks, smashing a bit of thick makeup on the beautiful face that seemed to tremble.
Damnit. Damnit. Damnit.
Rutukan and makian muttered in a cold mind. My fingers violently rubbed the feathers that flooded my face.
Snow on a winter day. Flowers on spring day. Leaves on summer days. And, the ruins of the branches on autumn day.
I hate this season. Autumn is always not going well. Which destroys everything. Who took Xiao Bao from me.
Wh-tok!
The door knock intruded on me. Behind my back, the sound of the door opening. Featuring Xiao Rou who was in special clothes as my escorting servant, she came to inform.
"Prepare yourself, big lady. It's about time. The bridal palanquin that will take you will be arriving soon."
That gloomy expression turned calm.
I quickly fixed the look on my face. And, asking Xiao Rou to come tidying up a little bit of my appearance that I accidentally messed up.
This is my wedding day. Surprising right? For the first time, I reneged on my promise to return to Ping'an. My dad must be disappointed in that. And, my two older brothers were very unwilling, showering me with their letters.
No force is pressing me. Yeah, it had to be, too. Because some things are going in a strange direction. I found some progress regarding Shen Zhenning. With this wedding path that I took, I will create a special hell for the emperor.
Doesn't the saying say. If you aim for nothing, you will achieve nothing. And because of that, I blew up my life for all the decisions I made.
It started back in my early days in the palace which seemed to run too smoothly....
POV END.

Two Months Before ...
"Third Miss Yao!"
A beautiful figure wearing a simple makeup that looked charming was going down the stairs. It's a windy sunny day. The sun above the horizon shone sharply, making the white skin look like a sparkling pearl. The fan on his lentic fingers he lifted to dispel the scorching rays that make his eyes sore.
Wearing a pink dress and a bright yellow top with a simple floral pattern that creates a soft impression makes it look elegant.
"You waiting for me?"
The sentence of the question escaped his smiling lips. With regular steps, he approached the elegant figure sitting sweetly between the corridor and pond barrier.
"My mind got complicated by a few things. Need a wise man like you who reminds and accompanies me by my side. So, can we go together?"
His words perfectly invoked the offer with classy etiquette, he spoke calmly as if he were reading from a book. But, clearly inside there, she hid her anxiety tremors as her eyes drooped down. He was so scared when Shang Shufei called them to come.
Surprised amazement. In Xiu Qixuan's eyes, Yao Anran looked like a beautiful and expensive porcelain doll. He was like a high-end product with perfect etiquette that ingrained the flesh to the base of the bones.
"Of course, with pleasure. Come!" Xiu Qixuan said with a widening smile. He stretched out one hand to help Yao Anran to stand firmly acting like a knight guarding his princess.
Surprisingly, Yao Anran did not refuse. She smiled shyly. The relationship was harmonious as the two girls walked together while chatting casually, with their servants following behind.
"Oh, so you knew Biaojie when you were in the capital?"
"Yes, it was weird when we became familiar. How's yours?"
"Eum, we're not too close. I mean, I certainly don't hate him. It's just we're not cut out for some things."
"Ah, I understand. Yiyang is too noisy for you."
Laughter like a twinkling bell sometimes escapes the lips of both. Talking about Su Yiyang's behavior in the abstract was really fun.
Yao Anran slightly forgot his anxiety, he seemed more relaxed listening to all of Xiu Qixuan's stories. Occasionally he shared a story about how the madness of Su Yiyang when visiting the prime minister's residence and disturbing him, it turns out that the crazy behavior of the girl has existed since childhood.
"Great Miss Xiu. Third Miss Yao."
The beautiful sound of a melodious roar wrapped their ears. The two girls immediately raised their eyes. Seeing the figure of a charming beauty greeting them kindly yet also tucked in sharpness there, Xiu Qixuan and Yao Anran immediately put on a gentle smile to reply warmly.
"Miss Helan."
