"Then what do you want to do?" The fragrant snow asked.
Xiao Kong and Baili Xiang Xue were of the same age, except Xiao Kong looked more young and Bai Li looked more mature.
At this age, it was normal for people to like her, but since she was young, she did not have much work to do and did not like to ask other people about their emotions. Thus, she would never discuss this with Xiao Kong, but she did not expect him to suddenly ask her about this.
"Of course, I want to marry her and then live a small life." Lil 'Kong answered innocently.
"Then tell her that you like her and ask if she's willing to marry you." The edge of the cup fell on her thin lips, and she took a sip of the tea, speaking lightly and blandly.
"But …" If... I mean, if... If I like people, yes, today the Emperor... Where's my concubine? " Xiao Kong's sudden words almost made her choke to death from the tea.
Xiao Kong completely didn't notice Baili Kuangxue's expression darken. He pouted his mouth in distress and continued, "Xiao Xue, I like esteemed wangfei now, even though she's called esteemed wangfei in name, she seems to only have a name. Xiao Xue, tell me, should I continue to like her? Xiao Xue, are you listening? Little Snow? "
"Xiao Kong, you shouldn't have liked Lu Shaoheng's concubine. It's fruitless." The cold tone of the sweet snow was like ice in the wind.
Xiao Kong was silent for a moment, then asked Baili Kuangxue: "Xiao Xue, have you ever liked anyone else?"
"Do you know what it's like to like someone? Even if you know that there is no ending, the fact that you like that person will not change. " Xiao Kong continued to speak, his amber eyes drooping, his words laced with sadness.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, he knew that confessing to Baili Kuangxue would be rejected. He knew that Kui Li Xue was a rational person. She would grasp everything to the right degree, but when she fell in love with someone, many of her rationality would be destroyed by the feeling of liking that person.
The sweet snow of the hundred li trembled, unable to refute.
Perhaps, she didn't even have the qualifications to call him Xiao Kong. She had gone crazy because of Xie Zimo, back when she had fallen off the cliff.
Perhaps, if someone were to fall in love with someone, it would be hard to part with them. One would be unable to judge right from wrong, unable to differentiate right from wrong, and would be led by someone else as they walked on.
"Xiao Kong, if she likes you too, she is willing to leave with you. Then take her away and live your lives in a quiet place where no one can disturb you. " "It's not wrong to like someone."
After Xiao Kong received the confirmation, he pounced towards Baili Kui Xue with a face full of joy, and then bid farewell and left. Baili Xiang Xue gazed at his back, sighing lightly.
Two days later.
Yan Fei and Baili Qianxue's pattern of staying within the river was broken.
This day, Yu Wen and Yu Xuan, who looked the same, snuck into the palace. They wanted to meet their big brother, but as soon as they snuck in, they lost their way. Coincidentally, they met Yan Fei in the Imperial Garden. Yu Xuan wasn't a meddlesome person. He originally wanted to take a detour, but Yan Fei signaled him with her eyes, and the palace maid by his side stopped Yu Xuan.
"Whose dog is it that is so rude? Do you not know how to greet people even if you see them?" Yan Fei coldly snorted as she mocked Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan was not someone who could be easily bullied. He smiled at Yan Fei and said mockingly, "A dog would only greet its own kind. Are you a dog's kind?"
The slap resonated in the wind as the aura of a sharp sword spread out.
Yan Fei looked down at Yu Xuan with a sullen look, and maintained her slapping posture, "Didn't your master teach you the etiquette of the palace? "How dare you be so impudent!"
Because Yan Fei's palm fell too quickly, Yu Xuan's face was burning in pain when she reacted. He was able to taste a sweet and fishy taste. That taste was coming from the corner of his mouth.
Yu Xuan raised her head and looked at the woman, then she thought of her brother and thought, "I must be grateful to this woman for taking care of me too!" Thus, Yu Xuan suddenly pulled out the jade arm from Yan Fei's sleeve and bit down hard. It was only when she heard a scream that Yu Xuan released her grip and ran away.
"Damn slave!" Just you wait! " Yan Fei looked at the bite marks left on her hands. Blood was already seeping out, and the sight of it still hurt.
Yu Wen carried the violin from the musician back to Kui Xue's room, then went to tidy up her room. The ladies in front of the courtyard were dispersed by the fragrant snow, each returning to their own homes.
At this time, Baili Xiang Xue was sitting in front of the yard, bored out of her mind, looking at the ants crawling on the ground.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him.
Kui Xue did not turn around, but swept over them with her peripheral vision.
The long dress worn by the female actress fluttered in the wind.
"There's no need for a rehearsal today. Go back and rest." As she spoke, her voice didn't fluctuate at all.
The person behind her neither spoke nor moved, only quietly stood behind her. Baili Xiang Xue was slightly surprised, then she turned her head.
When she saw the person behind her, the corners of her eyes and lips twitched, and she was unable to express her feelings clearly.
The burly Prime Minister, who looked like a formidable figure, was currently dressed as a female. He wore a dress and a veil that covered half of his face. He stood in front of Baili Kuangxue in a strange state. His domineering brows were covered with pearls and looked very visually impactful.
Moments later, a burst of laughter that could shock the heaven and earth rang out, breaking their strange gazes.
Baili Yu Xue really couldn't hold it in, she laughed until her shoulders trembled, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. This was the first time she had seen someone dressed so wittily. It was truly unprecedented, absolute.
Perhaps only Prime Minister Xie Zimo, whose face was thicker than the city walls, would have the courage to dress like this.
"Beautiful Snow, you're not loyal! I've sacrificed my looks just to see you, and you're actually smiling!" Xie Zimo took off his veil, his expression was hard to describe.
"Don't say anything, let me laugh for a bit. Hahahaha …" Seeing Xie Zimo's dressing, Baili Kui Xue felt like laughing to the point that she couldn't take care of herself.
If he was dressed like this, he might even be a fox-like enchanter. However, Xie Zimo was a tall and sturdy man with a domineering aura. He did not suit a woman at all. His current appearance was simply enough to make one's scalp go numb, and goosebumps were all over the ground. Other than laughter, there was nothing else that she wanted to express.
"You're still laughing? "If you laugh again, I'll stay here forever."
"Hahahaha, don't do that. I don't want to see you dressed like this everyday. Hahaha …"
"Beautiful snow."
"Hmm?"
The laughter ended. In front of the big tree, the sun had already set, and the two figures intersected.
Xie Zimo suddenly kissed her, causing her to stop laughing.
When she reacted, the numbness on her lips made her feel like she couldn't resist. She didn't know when, but she had gotten used to this tyrannical man. He would suddenly plunder her and break her calm heart time and again.
"After knowing you for so long, this is the first time I've seen you laugh." Xie Zimo licked his lips that were covered with the fragrant snow for a hundred miles, then left slowly. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him.
"Things that look good, you'll get tired of them if you watch them too much." The smile contained within the eyes of the Hundred Miles of Fragrance did not diminish, but it was somewhat restrained.
She purposely looked away from Xie Zimo's face, her gaze resting on his chest, quietly watching his faintly discernible collarbone. Xie Zimo lifted her chin and said with a smile that was not a smile, "One day, when I become the monarch of that country, how about you become my queen?"
"Alright." Baili Xiang Xue didn't reject him, and only replied with a simple "good" word. The current her actually wouldn't think too much about it. When she found out that Mu Jingshu was no longer alive, the shackles that bound her broke. Right now, she had three things that she wanted to accomplish. First, she wanted to help Lu Zixu fulfill a wish. Second, to become an influential woman that could bring prosperity to the Huyu Clan. Third, to avenge Mu Jingshu and overthrow Lu Shaheng.
Xie Zimo was happy, and he took Baili Kui Xue into his arms.
At this moment, Yu Wen, who just finished cleaning up the room, walked out. When he saw this scene, he felt a little awkward.
Xie Zimo restrained himself and let go of Kui Xue. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Yu Wen's stifled smile, he helplessly sighed and said to Yu Wen, "You can laugh if you want, but don't hold it in. It's not good for your health."
Just as Xie Zimo finished speaking, Yu Wen started laughing like he was laughing like it was the first time he had seen such a funny person, such a funny thing.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. As Yan Fei's grumbling voice sounded, Baili Kui Xue couldn't help but frown.
When Yan Fei brought Lu Shaoheng into the training hall, Xie Zimo had already left.
"Your majesty, you have to judge me for my concubine. Look at her arm, it's just a mere servant. How dare you bite me? You're bleeding profusely. In the future, will there still be any laws in this palace?"
"Luo Ying, Yan Fei said that your apprentice Yu Wen bit her. Do you know about this?" Lu Shaoheng stopped in front of Baili Feixue and questioned her.
"I heard it now, but do you have any evidence, esteemed imperial concubine?" Kui Xue asked calmly, glancing at Yu Wen.
Yu Wen seemed to be able to understand her gaze, so he walked towards Kui Xue.
Lu Shaoheng glanced at Yan Fei. He knew that she was unhappy about this matter. If it wasn't for the bloody bite marks on Yan Fei's arm, Lu Shaoheng wouldn't have bothered with her.
"It's true, the Empress even gave him a slap." The palace maid standing to the side was afraid that Lu Shaoheng wouldn't believe her, so she said, "As long as Your Majesty can see if his face is red and swollen, then you'll know."
Baili Kui Xue couldn't help but frown. If she wasn't wrong, the person Empress Yan was probably beating up Yu Xuan. If Yu Wen's face wasn't injured, then Lu Shaoheng would definitely suspect something.
"Yu Wen, how dare you! So you're the only one who can bite Empress Dowager Yan as you please! " Kui Xue frowned, turned around and slapped Yu Wen.
Yu Wen, who was slapped, fell to the ground. The corner of his lips split open, and blood flowed out. He did not understand. As he looked at the fragrant snow over a hundred li away, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Your majesty, Yu Wen is still young and doesn't understand much about the rules of the palace, but I believe he won't bite anyone. Someone must have started this, but I won't pursue this matter any further. Now that the punishment has been meted out, how does the Emperor plan to deal with this matter? " Kui Xue looked at Lu Shaoheng with cold eyes. When she looked at Yan Fei, her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Just a single slap would be too easy on him. Your majesty, this kind of person who doesn't know the rules should at least drag his way to give them another thirty beatings …" Yan Fei glared viciously at Yu Wen. Before she finished speaking, she met Lu Shao's cold gaze.
A cold chill went down her spine as it sealed her mouth. She didn't dare to speak too much, as she was slightly afraid in her heart.
"Today's matter shall conclude here." Lu Shaoheng didn't even turn around as he turned around and left.
Although Yan Fei was unwilling, she had no choice but to give up. She glared at Baili Qianxue and left as well.
Seeing that they had walked far away, Kui Xue walked to Yu Wen and helped him up.
She reached out her hand and caressed Yu Wen's face. That slap had already made his face red and swollen.
"Does it hurt?" Kui Xue asked. Yu Wen was a little afraid, and his eyes were filled with tears. He first nodded and then quickly shook his head.
