Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 111
At this moment, Qingyun asked softly, "Green Plum, has Wuxia been acting strangely lately?"
Hearing the Lady's gentle voice, Green Plum felt a sense of calm settle in her heart, and her emotions gradually calmed down. She thought carefully for a moment and replied, "Reporting to Madam, Miss Wuxia has been acting very strangely ever since she returned from the Flower Temple that day. Normally, Miss Wuxia would never get up before the sun was high in the sky, and she would try to slack off as much as possible when practicing the zither. The strangest thing is that Miss Wuxia often smiles foolishly at the sky and occasionally strokes a piece of jade in her hand."
Jun Wuhen's brows furrowed even more.
Qingyun continued, "Did you see what that jade looked like?"
"Madam, it is a piece of white jade of excellent quality. There is a 'cloud' character in regular script engraved on the lower right corner."
At that moment, something seemed to flash through Qingyun's mind, so fast that she couldn't grasp it.
"Wuhen, let's open that letter and take a look."
Jun Wuhen nodded.
Cousin Wuhen, Sister Qingyun: I'm so sorry. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.
Cousin Wuhen, I know you want me to choose my husband at the martial arts tournament, but I already have someone I like. I really, really like him, even though I know nothing about him. I don't know why I like him so much, even though we've only met a few times and spoken a few times.
Sister Qingyun, you once told me that when I truly fall in love with someone, I'll know what true love is. Now I know. That feeling of love is sweet, bitter, astringent, and sour. He made me understand the meaning of love, he made me understand the feeling of love, and he made me feel the sweetness of love.
Yesterday, he invited me to the capital. In his letter, he said I was a very beautiful, kind, and pure girl. He liked me very much. Cousin Wuhen, Sister Qingyun, you probably have no idea how happy I was when I saw that praise; my heart felt like a hundred flowers were blooming. And now, as you read this letter, I'm already on my way to the capital.
He's from the capital, and he holds an official position there. I imagine his rank is quite high, and perhaps he already has a beautiful wife. But I don't care. A person who leaves the palace can only have one love in their lifetime, so I will only follow him for the rest of my life.
Cousin Wuhen, please don't send anyone to look for me. I'm just going to the capital for a few days. I'll come back when I'm tired.
Sister Qingyun, you've written so many books, you must understand how I feel.
The air grew heavy again after the word "flawless" was uttered.
Jun Wuhen's eyes were a deep blue, a prelude to his anger.
"Someone, immediately..."
Qingyun pursed her lips, placed her soft hand on Wuhen's hand, and said softly, "Wuhen, let Wuxia be! Just let her go to the capital to have some fun or relax. We can send someone to take care of her secretly." Qingyun chuckled, "Our family has a daughter who has come of age. Wuhen, Wuxia knows how to pursue her own happiness."
After a pause, Qingyun noticed the bloodshot in Wuhen's eyes. "Wuhen, you haven't rested for days. Let me handle these matters! You don't need to worry."
The deep blue in Wuhen's eyes slowly faded as Qingyun spoke softly, leaving behind a gentle expression.
He nodded.
"Okay." Then he clenched his fist tightly. "When Wuxia comes back, we'll deal with her properly!"
Volume Two: Fate Destined to Leave the Palace, a Good Marriage Arrives – True or False Auspicious Cloud
Since Wuxia ran away from home, the entire palace has become increasingly quiet. The palace was already quite taciturn under the tutelage of the cold and silent Lord. Moreover, the Lord's wife is also not talkative, spending her days playing the zither and writing books. She rarely shows her face, perhaps only once a month. Furthermore, with the departure of the most lively and talkative Miss Wuxia, the entire palace has once again fallen into a lifeless state.
However, compared to the dullness of the detached palace, the book market in Fengxi is now incredibly lively.
The usually prolific Qingyun has surprisingly published two books, both about love. However, their perspectives on love are completely different.
One book portrays love as bland as water, like a celestial pool high in the sky, serene yet ethereal, seemingly forever unattainable. The other book, however, is as intense as fine wine aged in a cellar for many years, so powerful it's suffocating.
The book with the indifferent attitude towards love, "Longing," and the book with the strong pursuit of love, "Chasing Dreams," were like thunderclaps in the Fengxi book market upon their release. Now, these two books completely dominate the top two spots on the bestseller list, far surpassing the third-ranked book.
There was a lot of discussion at the book market.
"Oh my! This is truly a rare occurrence! How could Miss Qingyun write two books of different types? It feels as if... as if there are two Miss Qingyuns."
"Indeed. Qingyun's books always give people a subtle feeling. And 'Longing' continues Qingyun's consistent style. But as for 'Chasing Dreams,' it completely lacks that style."
"Perhaps it was because Miss Qingyun's personality changed drastically after she became the Lord's wife that she wrote such an emotionally intense book."
"That's possible. Alas! It's a pity that the Lord has protected Miss Qingyun too carefully. To this day, not many people have actually seen Miss Qingyun."
"..."
Departure from the palace.
Qingyun frowned, staring intently at the two books on the table, her clear eyes rippling slightly.
Zi Yi stood behind Qing Yun, her brows furrowed involuntarily. Suddenly, her brows relaxed, and she poured a glass of cool iced tea, handing it to Qing Yun.
"Madam, please have a glass of iced tea first. Although Ziyi doesn't know much about the book, she believes there will always be a solution."
Qingyun glanced at Ziyi and, seeing the worry in her eyes, nodded.
He tilted his head back, drank the iced tea, and felt a chill run through him. Qingyun's brows gradually relaxed.
She gave a slight smile.
"Don't worry, Ziyi. I believe Lige will give me a good explanation. And Lige will definitely help me solve it." After a pause, Qingyun's eyes suddenly deepened. "Right, Ziyi?"
"..." Zi Yi paused, noticing the hidden meaning in Qing Yun's eyes. Startled, she was about to say something when Qing Yun spoke again.
She stretched, a casual smile on her lips, and a gentle smile in her eyes.
“Purple Robe, I haven’t told you about Li Ge, have I? Li Ge… he’s a…”
At that moment, a slightly deep voice rang out.
What kind of person is he?
