Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 7
Everyone was completely bewildered and didn't understand.
Appreciation flickered in Situ Xingyun's eyes, while the elegant man smiled, a smile like that of prey that had been waiting for a long time finally falling into its trap.
There was a commotion below.
"What's the meaning?"
"Why are they all just numbers?"
"Could Your Highness please explain?"
"..."
Feng Xue nodded, and the entire room fell silent.
"The character '元' without '兀' is one; the character '天' without '人' is two; the character '玉' without a dot is three; the character '罷' without '能' is four; the character '吾' with '舍口' is five; the character '交' without 'X' is six; the character '皂' without '白' is seven; the character '分' divided in two is eight; the character '抛' without '手' and '力' is nine; and the character '计' without '言' is ten." Feng Xue explained in detail.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"The most talented woman, the princess is truly deserving of the title."
"Your Highness is truly blessed!"
"The princess is exceptionally intelligent and talented; Fengxi is truly blessed!"
...
Meanwhile, the man with light brown eyes had long since disappeared, just as no one knew how or when he had arrived.
Feng Xue lowered her eyes and sat calmly beside Situ Xingyun.
And beneath my eyes, the waves surged.
Volume One: A Woman Named Qingyun Among the People, Chapter Five: Qingyun Pavilion
Chapter Five: The night at Qingyun Pavilion was cool as water. Occasionally, a cool breeze would sweep through the air, blowing away the heat of the day and also driving away the daytime liveliness of the Prince's Mansion.
Snow Tower.
"Princess...Princess, where are you going so late?" As soon as she stepped into the Snow Pavilion, Qingyi saw the princess take off her gorgeous clothes and put on a simple apricot-yellow floor-length skirt.
"Outside." Facing the bronze mirror, Feng Xue removed the heavy hairpin from her head and untied her complicated hairstyle. Instantly, a cascade of long hair cascaded down.
"Ah?" Qingyi's face broke out in a cold sweat. The thought of the prince's gaze filled her with fear. What if the prince discovered the princess was missing...? "Princess, the prince is back now. What if he finds out the princess is missing? What should we do?"
With a practiced ease, Feng Xue tied her hair up with a wooden hairpin, and was now dressed. Turning her head, she gently patted the shoulder of the woman in green and said, "Don't worry, the guests have brought plenty of beauties today! Situ Xingyun is probably wondering which beauty to favor right now; he definitely won't be going to Snow Pavilion."
"But...but..." Better safe than sorry. She noticed today that the prince's gaze was starting to change from how he used to look at the princess.
The prince used to look at the princess with disgust, but now the disgust has lessened, replaced by admiration and a look that she can't quite understand.
"Qingyi, when has your princess ever been wrong?"
"No." The princess was incredibly clever, and her words were always perfectly accurate.
“That’s it.” Feng Xue stepped out of the Snow Pavilion, then suddenly turned to Qingyi and said, “Don’t worry, Qingyi, I’ll be back earlier this time.” She paused, then added, “Um… I’ll definitely be back before the rooster crows.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Xue lightly tiptoed and disappeared with the wind.
The woman in green, who had chased after the princess to the door, looked at her disappearing form with a bitter expression.
"Princess... wake me up before the rooster crows..."
Who is Qingyun?
Qingyun was a talented woman from Fengxi. Although her talent was not as great as Princess Fengxue's, her reputation among the people was just as high.
Reputation? Where does reputation come from?
When Qingyun is mentioned, children will say, "Qingyun's writing is so interesting..."
When Qingyun is mentioned, young ladies will say, "The stories written by Miss Qingyun are so touching..."
When Qingyun is mentioned, young gentlemen will say, "Miss Qingyun's poems are truly wonderful..."
When Qingyun is mentioned, the elderly with white hair will say, "Qingyun's books always remind people of the vicissitudes of life..."
When Qingyun is mentioned, high-ranking officials and nobles will say, "Miss Qingyun's books are truly full of profound wisdom..."
When Qingyun is mentioned, people in the martial arts world will say, "The martial arts manuals compiled by Miss Qingyun are truly profound..."
When a person receives praise from people of different social classes, their reputation naturally rises.
Qingyun is naturally aloof. The world only knows that Qingyun is a young woman, only knows that Qingyun lives in Qingyun Pavilion, and only knows that Qingyun's relationship with the divine physician Lige is extraordinary…
Moreover, the world only knows that Qingyun Pavilion is located at the highest point of Huanshan Mountain, overlooking Fengxi Capital. However, no one dares to enter Huanshan Mountain to catch a glimpse of Qingyun's beautiful face.
The illusion of Illusion Mountain is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people; those who enter Illusion Mountain face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.
The moonlight quietly radiated its soft glow, enveloping the earth and draping it in a silver veil, gentle and beautiful.
The streets were quiet, with only the occasional night watchman passing by.
It was a quiet night.
Suddenly, an apricot-yellow figure swept across the street like a ghost.
