Gao Jianli's voice rose, and the concern contained within it made Xue Nu smile bitterly, her stagnant eyes flickering!
Xu Le hugged Xue Nu and asked softly, "If Gao Jianli came in and saw that I had become his slave and was being played with at my will, what would his expression be?"
"don't want!"
The Snow Woman spoke softly, her lifeless eyes pleading, her body trembling slightly, unaware that she had fallen into a trap.
"Then we'll see how they perform!"
The Snow Woman smiled wryly and said to the door, trying to appear calm, "I'm fine, I just need to rest!"
Gao Jianli breathed a sigh of relief and said with concern, "That's good. If there's anything you need, you can tell me, and I'll definitely help!"
As the Snow Maiden listened to Gao Jianli's footsteps fading into the distance, her silver hair fell before her eyes, tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped to the ground, her snow-white dress falling to the floor. Xu Le, once again playing the role of an experienced driver, started beeping and driving... (n words omitted below)
………………
On the tower of the Yin-Yang School, Gao Yue, dressed in a silk dress, admired the moon with Xu Le. She had thought she would be imprisoned, but instead, she spent her days eating and drinking with Xu Le!
Whether it was her imagination or not, Yue'er felt that she had gained a lot of weight, and her once flat stomach had become more rounded.
Although she wanted to resist Xu Le's culinary offensive, Yue'er couldn't help but crave strange and unusual foods every time she saw them, and followed Xu Le around every day.
Seeing Yue'er's adorable appearance, Xu Le was happy to tease the little girl. After all, Shao Siming was aloof and cold, and she looked the same no matter what she ate. Although she was pretty, she was not as fun as the little girl.
He casually took out a piece of mango mille-feuille and handed it to Yue'er. Seeing her happy expression, he suddenly said, "It's time to change your name!"
"Change your name? Why?"
Yue'er asked in confusion, as she liked her current name very much and had never thought about changing it!
"Why so many questions? From now on, your surname will be Ji Ru, and your given name will be Qianlong. Your previous name, Gao Yue, was a title, not your given name!"
Despite Gao Yue's objections, Xu Le forcibly gave her a new name.
"If you agree, I will take you to see my mother!"
Xu Le looked at Gao Yue, who was puffing up her cheeks and not saying a word, pressed down on her resisting little hand, and continued to pat her little head.
Yue'er, or rather Qianlong, froze, her eyes dimming, and said blankly, "My mother is dead..."
"Who said she's dead? I've hidden her away! As long as you're obedient and act like my little princess, I'll let you see her!"
Xu Le's lips curled into a wicked smile. He felt that he was too evil when he talked about the little princess. After all, there was a joke before: "Be my little princess, and you'll only eat that stuff and not suffer!"
However, he only likes Ji Ruqianlong. Anyway, he came to this world for entertainment and to raise a little girl on the side!
"real!"
Chitaki stood up excitedly, threw herself into his arms, and asked earnestly.
"Guess!"
Where is my mother?
"Guess!"
Chitaki angrily punched his chest with her little fists, but then she heard footsteps coming from the stairs. She quickly got up and stepped back, standing respectfully to the side!
Qianlong is naturally intelligent. After spending some time with him, he figured out Xu Le's temperament. Normally, he is fine with playing around, but if he doesn't know how to behave when it comes to serious matters, Xu Le will get annoyed!
The Moon Goddess strode over and, upon seeing Xu Le, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Eastern Emperor has approved the plan and dispatched the Gongshu family, a renowned family of mechanical arts, to manufacture several finished products. He has specially sent someone to invite you to come and admire them!"
"Oh, I knew Ying Zheng wouldn't give up that thing!"
Xu Le was not surprised. With Qianlong's help, he put on a black robe and went straight to the palace!
Inside the palace was a vast, open area where unauthorized personnel were strictly prohibited from entering. There were no special buildings or magical treasures. Ying Zheng sat upright on a chair covered with tiger skin, with Zhao Gao attending to him.
Before them stood dozens of artisans and a pair of soldiers, ready to receive orders from their emperor!
"His Highness the Eastern Emperor has arrived!"
Following the order, Xu Le entered the open area with the handsome young eunuch and bowed to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled, seemingly in an exceptionally good mood. The majesty in his eyes dissipated somewhat, and he appeared like an ordinary person. He said to Donghuang, "Donghuang has arrived. I have already reviewed the blueprints that Donghuang sent me and have made several finished products. I hereby invite Donghuang to admire them together!"
"His Majesty truly has countless talented people under his command. The concept drawings were only sent a few days ago, and I didn't expect that a finished product would be made so quickly. It really surprised me!"
Several servants brought over chairs, and Xu Le sat down without any attempt to hide it. Ever since he sent the blueprints to express his intentions, Ying Zheng's wariness of him had decreased considerably. Although they were not exactly close friends, he no longer harbored any hostility towards him!
Ying Zheng picked up a cup of hot tea and ordered, "Let's begin!"
"Yes, sir!"
Several craftsmen responded, and an old man with a face as if carved by an axe and a thin body slowly walked out, holding a mahogany box in his hands, looking very proud.
"Master Gongshu, make your move!"
Gongshu Chou, a villainous character whom fans of Qin's Moon hate intensely and celebrated after his death, may not be a good person, but he is a master of mechanical arts.
Although Gongshu Chou was cunning and arrogant, he also knew the ways of a minister and understood Ying Zheng's temperament. Without keeping him in suspense, he clapped his hands and placed the mahogany box in his hand on the table carried by the guards, which Zhao Gao then opened.
"The blueprints provided by His Highness the Eastern Emperor are ingenious, and some of their core ideas far surpass what my Gongshu family has studied throughout our lives. No one would doubt that they are divine artifacts! However, although they are ingenious, my Gongshu family's achievements in mechanical arts are still quite respectable. I spent several days working without sleep and finally completed a finished product!"
