Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Complicated Unreadable
The faces of the three young ladies greeting each other smiled, but there was no sincerity in their eyes. There are only certain limitations that are so visible.
By wearing a formal dress, Helan Qianyu was adorning herself cleverly adjusting. The fragrance of the soft perfume mixed with thin powder faintly oozed from his body. Her red lips were smiling like a flower.
Holding a tray with white porcelain inside. Helan Qianyu slightly proudly said: "I feel comforted to meet the face I recognize on this street. It was a little claustrophobic bringing this herbal concoction tea alone to the Empress." In particular his tone was expressing excitement with his eyes curling into a scythe, he looked delighted with his first victory. "Aiyaa, are you also heading towards the inner palace harem section?" He guessed asking as if surprised.
In a class that was not attended by Xiu Qixuan, Yao Anran and Duan Maiqiu yesterday. The collection of the nobility points continued smoothly, and all the highest scores were achieved by Helan Qianyu. She became the candidate of the princely empress with talent as well as the best wisdom now.
Unlike Duan Maiqiu who remained strongly supported by her family's big name even though she was the daughter of a concubine with many flaws in her. Or like Yao Anran who is talented and has the background of the second highest family after the imperial family.
Although the Helan family did not have much wealth or the highest status in the country, Helan Qianyu was still a noble. Many eyes silently looked with interest at him.
Since the beginning Helan Qianyu got a lot of attention because of her effort as well as her ability. He was so good at every step. That's what makes him arrogant.
Hearing his proud words, a glance of Xiu Qixuan felt amused. However, his face remained calm without any flaws. He wasn't disturbed one bit.
On the other hand, Yao Anran's mouth seemed to twitch a little murky as he spoke formally in a humble attempt to congratulate him.
"I'm envious to see you have an open opportunity to have a conversation with the Empress in private. Ah, this is all because you have more value, wrong I was so slow." He smilingly put on a face pretended to be full of disappointment to flatter his little interlocutor, and continued in a friendly tone. "Miss Helan has worked too hard, congratulations to you."
Seeing the two young women who had ages below him was about to start a war of nerves. Benak Xiu Qixuan grumbled as she rolled her eyes bored. ''Oh, come on, Anran. We don't have much time for this.'
Xiu Qixuan's calm expression looked ethereal, it didn't seem that she had any intentions when she said in awe.
"Miss Helan is so nice, you keep so much attention. Herbal teas are great for health especially in summer which has erratic weather with little rainfall."
Hearing Xiu Qixuan's words of praise, his overflowing confidence became his arrogance drastically increased. Her cheeks were flushed either out of embarrassment or the heat of the sun. But, Helan Qianyu still put up her vigilance cleverly not in the least to soften.
While Yao Anran looked wrinkled in confusion. He could not understand what praise Xiu Qixuan was sending.
"Great Miss is overrated! I only pay attention to the little things." Then both of Helan Qianyu's eyes widened as she recalled something, "Hoh, I haven't apologized for the past. It was a misunderstanding to see you at Miss Su's side when the fight happened." His tone kept a lot of slurping but his eyes were not, he was not sincere about saying an apology.
Hiding his lips and a fistful of his face behind the hand fan he was carrying, Xiu Qixuan responded. "Miss Helan can calm down, I won't remember it." His tone was carefree as if it was true. No one knew that he kept the grinning words in his mind, 'However I will record them in my heart.'
Switching the topic, Xiu Qixuan again said attentively without having any intentions, it made his interlocutor have trouble guessing the contents of his mind. "Don't you have to hurry before the tea gets cold? Because our navigation was poor, we got lost on this road until we met and kept you here for too long."
It was the answer to the first question Helan Qianyu sent out. He was smart not to tell any condition that the fact was that they wanted to go to Dian Yong Shi Hall to meet Shang Shufei.
Realizing his mistake to be late, thoughtlessly Helan Qianyu immediately rushed over. He took his entourage of four servants and one eunuch to the empress' residence.
Xiu Qixuan's eyes silently watched her back disappear at the end of the turn of the road. Xiu Qixuan turned her head when she heard Yao Anran's voice.
"You're deliberately pushing to kick him out, aren't you? And since the beginning of the meeting, the words that came out of your mouth were just simple but subtly arranged sentences— unconsciously your opponents did not get the information they wanted to get from you, it was very impressive to me."
Yao Anran chattered out his thoughts. Because the truth was that he was also so curious and wanted to understand all the intentions of Xiu Qixuan's heart, but it was not easy to see Xiu Qixuan so intricately illegible.
Mengulum a thin, meaningful smile, Xiu Qixuan flicked her shoulders pretending to be clueless. "Yes, maybe I did that. But, it's great for us not to say much." He continued with a frown of displeasure when speaking in low terror, "Moreover informing Miss Helan of our purpose. It is easy to guess that he will use, and feed the flesh to the empress for her jealousy.(1)"
The walls of the palace were so thin, any news could instantly spread in this place full of thorns. Perhaps the Empress also knew that Shang Shufei was calling them, and could be sure that she was now sitting quietly to observe before finally acting. However, if it was Helan Qianyu who knew this—the girl would use it to grill the meat to make the Empress even more suspicious and move to suppress Xiu Qixuan or Yao Anran's pu.
Staring at Xiu Qixuan with eyes filled with astonishment, as if looking at an idol figure, Yao Anran fell silent.
Xiu Qixuan who got that look that she thought was scary was a little goosebumps. He pulled Yao Anran's hand and dragged her along, "Come, let's solve your problem that already made the Seventh Prince cry in the medicine hall yesterday."
"I didn't make her cry. It was an unintentional mistake." Yao Anran widened his eyes, he immediately dodged hard but still let Xiu Qixuan take him away.
