Wei Yi Yi desire to 'nope' the hell out there as soon as she could. Su Mei Fan cuteness would double when she speaks while Feng Lei's would descend down the chats.When talking to smart people, it's either you get enlighten or your last brain cell will be fried.A serious case of hit and miss! Wei Yi Yi's lifetime of experience did not ready her to survive such claustrophobe.While she was beginning to question her IQ, the servant came to serve the food. Xie Yu stopped talking entirely. Her interest in telling rumors was stolen by the food.As the person in charge, the empress said a few polite words, and then, they started eating without minding each other. Xie Yu frustratingly bite her chopstick. The silent was not on her side. Small movements would easily be detected. It would be better if there is a disturbance.Although it is improper to talk loudly during meals, there's no harm with few idle talks. Wei Yi Yi tasted a dish then praise it. Afterward, she told the two to taste it. While maintaining her refine character, Xie Yu complied with much delight.The pair repeated these set of actions quite naturally a few more times."You're eating your hair Fan'er," Wei Yi Yi pointed out teasingly. In one smooth movement, she shifted a few dishes near Xie Yu."E--eehh?!" Su Mei Fan was embarrassed while in a state of bliss at the same time. Just the fact that the empress is paying attention to her could send her dreaming at night.Su Mei Fan was busy fawning over Wei Yi Yi that she did not notice the pair's back door dealing. The plates kept shifting and the moment they return to their original place, not a speck was left.Wei Yi Yi accompanied Su Mei Fan while she tentatively and silently feeds Xie Yu. It was at this moment that Shen Nian Zhen showed up.Remembering that they were just gossiping behind the woman's back a while ago, Wei Yi Yi guiltily greets her first. "C--consort Shen, you're finally here. Come sit and join us.""Many thanks to your majesty," Shen Nian Zhen replied. Her face carrying the usual breezeful smile.Quite flustered, Wei Yi Yi accidentally picked a half sliced lemon thinking they were mandarins instead. Since she was avoiding looking in front she didn't see as she put them on Xie Yu's plate.Both Su Mei Fan and Xie Yu gave a sideways glance towards their new companion. Xie Yu mumbles, "A tiger's head and a snake's tail,*" then bite into the unassuming lemon.What follows right after are gagging sounds seemingly came from a choking pig. "Kuek! keekk!"The consort crunched her face beautiful face. Brows drawing closers and eyes starting to cry, Xie Yu desperately wanted to wipe away the sudden sourness in her tongue.This is why we're not supposed to just put anything in our mouth.-----Back to her carriage, Wei Yi Yi yawn. In a while, they will resume the bumpy parade. Once they get off the road and entered more deeply in the mountain, Wei Yi Yi could already imagine the whole carriage shaking violently.She must start preparing her body and soul for the incoming muscle pains. The padded sit she prepared might not be able to save her buttocks.When a knock sounded, Wei Yi Yi lifted the bamboo curtain. What pop out in her vision is Jiang Liu sitting proudly at a handsome horse.Wei Yi Yi eyes widen and Jiang Liu smile even more proudly.Jiang Liu pulled on the reigns and the horse circled around in front of Wei Yi Yi to present its beautiful profile.Wei Yi Yi started to visualized Jiang Liu riding fast with the breeze blowing to his face. He would have this majesty aura and a valiant look in his face.The wind would pick up his long hair for a dance. His wide sleeves and robes would flap in the air like wings. While looking at the back, his bright cloak will take away your breath.A celestial immortal riding a horse! Exactly just like in the Wuxia novels that she has read!She always thought that their excessively long robes were not practical and in the way but right now--- being worn by a manly guy with a general aura and pair up with a horse--- it's perfect for a picturesque photo!Just add a sword and make Jiang Liu raise it in the air while shouting "Heiyaaa!" and Wei Yi Yi's fragile heart might be torn to shreds.I have ascended to heavens! What a good way to die!Put an additional shou in the picture and my soul will be fully cleansed!Jiang Liu puffed out his chest arrogantly and asked, "What do you think?" "Did I ever said that you're so handsome dear brother?" With a thrilled expression and a look as if she's going to jump out for Jiang Liu, Wei Yi Yi eyes twinkled in the middle of the day.Bless Jiang Liu for giving birth to a fangirl's fantasy."..." Jiang Liu was taken aback. "I--- I was talking about the horse..."Wei Yi Yi made a struggling expression. "Brother, although the horse is handsome too, bestiality is a dangerous genre. I advise against tiding thru that wave! Even people on the dark side like us could only stomach a few!"Unless the horse is one of the celestial beasts that could turn human, Wei Yi Yi does not recommend opening this door.But she doubts that. After all, there's a limit where reality could assimilate with fiction.Jiang Liu, "..."
