Phoenix Duchess - C25
Tea? No matter how good his cultivation was, it was almost completely worn out by now.
He went to that girl’s bathroom in the middle of the night and wanted to invite someone to tea. What was this person thinking? Eastern Lingwan was about to go crazy from Xiao Qian’s shocking actions!
Dong Ling Wan felt that this person was unreasonable, but she didn’t reveal her current mood. She only put on a difficult expression, “I’m afraid there’s a lot of trouble, why don’t we drink it another day?”
“Long and clear, where did all this trouble come from?” Xiao Qian replied with a faint smile.
“In this world, there is no place without right or wrong. There is an ancient saying: Heaven is the sky, Earth is the earth. Whatever it is, there will be right and wrong if you touch the ground.” Dong Ling Wan nodded slightly. Xiao Qian lowered his head, just in time to see her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. With her overly pale and sickly skin and pink-white lips, it made one want to hug her and cherish her.
Xiao Qian slightly turned his head, feeling amused and amused at the same time. This woman would never back down on her words! Xiao Qian laughed and shook his head, “There is also a cloud of people. The sky is the day, and the earth is the moon. Now that the moon is shining brightly and the hearts of men, how can there be any discussion about what is wrong in this world? ”
Dong Ling Wan felt a headache coming, she wasn’t in the mood to accompany him in the middle of the night to chat about the Dao! As usual, she gave a very proper smile, “Rinloran is really dull. This little girl is no match for your highness. When we make tea at night, we have to avoid others’ eyes and ears, unlike the concept of day.”
In the end, he still wanted to chase them away.
Xiao Qian’s face darkened when he heard this. He didn’t even know what kind of crazy disease he was going through, why would he want to drink tea with her in the middle of the night? He just so happened to land next to her bath, and coincidentally met this woman who wanted to bathe.
Xiao Qian felt that his image in Eastern Ling Wan’s heart had already been ruined. Originally, this was no big deal. He didn’t need everyone to accept him, but when he thought about how he was in her heart … This feeling was damnably annoying! However, he didn’t know how to explain it to her. That’s not right, why should he explain it to her?
Explain? This idea was simply laughable!
“Tea, it needs to be boiled before it tastes good. What do you think, second lady?” Xiao Qian smiled with a warm spring breeze.
You want to drive me away? That is not as good as you wish. How can you let a woman order you around when you are the great King of Qi? Is he someone you can chase away just because you want to? Besides, he really did have something to talk to her about.
“It’s rare for Your Highness to be interested in such a thing. Ling Wan can only treat it as a companion and accompany him. I’ll immediately go instruct you!”
Eastern Ling Wan saw that this person had no intention to leave at all, and was originally a bit troubled, but suddenly she thought better of it. After thinking about it, Dong Ling Wan had already gotten close to the half moon gate. After sending the other girls away, she instructed Snowy and Tingyu to prepare the tea set. Although the two of them found it strange, they still did as they were told.
Dong Ling Wan didn’t let them in. She just instructed the two to pile all the items on top of a big rock by the door, and then ordered the two to go to sleep. She ordered the guards not to patrol the area, in case they disturbed her. After giving out these orders, Dong Ling Wan suddenly felt that her actions were a bit strange. Why did it seem like she was secretly having an affair? After thinking about this, Dong Ling Wan’s heart turned cold. With Xiao Qian? Never!
“It’s so late at night, so I won’t be able to sleep well to begin with. Can’t I cook it tomorrow?” In the end, he couldn’t hold it in and tried to persuade her.
“I can’t sleep at all, I have to boil some tea by myself to calm my mind.” Dong Ling Wan said this with a straight face, but she didn’t think that way. The tea was refreshing, and Xiao Qian’s coming out in the middle of the night was purposely making things difficult for her!
The two of them half-heartedly left. Just as Dong Ling Wan wanted to bend down and clean up, Xiao Qian carried away the firewood. Dong Ling Wan didn’t say anything as she walked in with the remaining items. The two of them did not sit in front of the stone table. Instead, they sat on two flat pieces of bluestone on the side of the hot spring pool.
The scarlet and yellow flames burned in a neutral manner, and the tea in the stove did not move at all. Apart from a few soft, flammable hay, the rest of the firewood prepared by the duo were not thin nor thick bamboo pieces. The duo stared at the fire silently, occasionally adding a few pieces of bamboo.
Dong Ling Wan felt for the piece of bamboo in her hand, and unintentionally glanced at the bamboo flute by Xiao Qian’s waist. Dong Ling Wan felt the piece of bamboo in her hand, and unintentionally looked at the bamboo flute at Xiao Qian’s waist, and thought that it was clearly the same material, but different uses.
“Hiss …” Dong Ling Wan took in a deep breath. Just as she was lost in thought, she was pricked by the bamboo piece.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Qian grabbed Eastern Ling Wan’s hand.
“Nothing.” Dong Ling Wan retracted her hand, pricked her finger, and rubbed it with her clothes. The bamboo spikes that were originally only half-way in, all went into Dong Ling Wan’s finger, causing her to groan in pain. He was about to raise his hand to take a look at the situation, but before she could take a good look, his hand was forcibly snatched away. In the next moment, he felt his fingertips moisten. He actually …
Dong Ling Wan blushed, and retracted her hand as though her tail had stepped on it. He actually put his own finger into his mouth and sucked it. Although Dong Ling Wan knew that he didn’t have any other intentions, but his actions really made her feel awkward!
Seeing Dong Ling Wan clench her teeth in confusion, Xiao Qian was also a bit confused, but he didn’t think too much about it. Instead, he grabbed Dong Ling Wan’s hand and used his inner force to force the bamboo spike out of it.
Xiao Qian let go of Dong Ling Wan’s hand and ignored her. “Stop it.” After Xiao Qian finished speaking, he added a few more pieces of bamboo to the fire.
Dong Ling Wan frowned. Was she being disliked by him?
Dong Ling Wan didn’t continue to hold out her hand. If someone was willing to work for her, then naturally, she was willing to help. Moreover, it wouldn’t take much effort.
Since Dong Ling Wan had nothing to do, her gaze began to wander again. Unexpectedly, it once again landed on Xiao Qian’s bamboo flute. This item was a good item!
Seeing that Dong Ling Wan’s gaze was on the bamboo flute, Xiao Qian smiled and passed it to her, “If you like it, you can make tea with it today.”
Even though it was a good item, he knew that his actions just now were rude to her. She was probably still angry. If a mere flute could calm her down, it would be worth it.
Dong Ling Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “It’s better if we don’t do the cooking of cranes.”
She didn’t say anything because it was Xiao Qian’s item. She also didn’t think that Xiao Qian’s actions were a compliment to her. She only said that she didn’t want to ruin these beautiful items. The reason why Xiao Qian didn’t do that was because of the bamboo flute itself. It wasn’t because of its master’s status, so he didn’t know how to appreciate favors. However, Xiao Qian didn’t feel disgusted by it.
Xiao Qian laughed and retracted the bamboo flute, “Beautiful morning, beautiful music, beautiful tea, this kind of thing, do you know how to play the flute?”
“Ling Wan is ashamed.”
Xiao Qian smiled. In his eyes, there was a look of confusion. He placed the body of the flute to his lips and released a song, “High Mountains and Running Water”. Dong Ling Wan sat by the side, quietly listening to the song, the corners of her lips slightly raised. If she could be like this for her entire life, it would be great if she could remain calm and uncontainable.
As the flute’s flute melody faded away, Eastern Ling Wan suddenly regained her senses, and the smile on her face froze. Eastern Ling Wan, what are you hoping for!? After a long while, Eastern Lingwan suddenly spoke up. “Your Highness only visited late at night to make tea?”
Xiao Qian didn’t look at her. “This will depend on whether Second Miss will visit today for only A’Nan’s sake.”
Dong Ling lowered her gaze and slowly stirred the spoon. After a long while, she scooped up a spoonful and poured it into her teacup. She then handed it over to Xiao Qian, “This will depend on your highness.”
It was a quiet little road, and they were walking side by side. At this moment, Glowing Snow suddenly slapped her head. “Oh no, I forgot to bring my handkerchief back.”
“It’s just a handkerchief. Let’s look for it tomorrow!” Hearing Yu Yu wave her hand, she didn’t pay it any heed.
“It’s only a few steps to the left and right. I’m not feeling well until I bring it back. Go back and sleep first.” After saying that, Glorifying Snow trotted away and disappeared behind the half moon gate.
Hearing his words, Qing Shui could not help but smile as he looked at Qing Shui.
It was only after admiring the snow that she returned to the garden, passed by the hot spring courtyard, and flew into the Concealing Treasure Pavilion. She hastily dodged a few night watchers and a few waves of night guards as she opened the door to Eastern Ling Wan’s house.
He opened the spice box that contained the golden threads of the floating inscription on the table and took out a small paper bag from his sleeve. The two items in the box were almost the same!
Only then did he put away the paper containing the powder. After putting the box back into its original position, he walked out of the door with light footsteps, not disturbing anyone. At the same time, by the side of the hot spring pool…
