Chapter 105 Drinking (1/2)

Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo's bad mood became worse. He suddenly reached out his hand.

With his eyes flashing dangerously, Chu Tiankuo gripped Zui Linglong's neck tightly, and said coldly, ”Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just talk about this casually?”

Chu Tiankuo was really annoyed. He couldn't bear to listen to other people who were spreading filth about Tang Xia. However, he also knew that he couldn't kill her so rashly, so he didn't use all of his strength. But it was enough for Zui Linglong now.

Zui Linglong managed to retain her composure at the beginning. Later, her face became more and more purple, and her closed mouth couldn't help but gape open. Her tongue lolled out, and the whites of her eyes were protruding.

Chu Tiankuo thought it was enough, so he loosened his grip before Zui Linglong suffocated. Zui Linglong sat down on the ground, breathing heavily through her mouth. But she had hit Chu Tiankuo hard in the place where he could not see.

”I am telling you, you are just an imperial concubine. Even if you are a female immortal, you must understand the position and honor in this palace! What I want to do, and how I do it, is not something for you to teach me.”

”I, I was also doing it for your sake, dear emperor! If Your Grace really has something against the prince of Nanmen, Nanmen Yi... ” Zui Linglong breathed heavily and stood up. Her eyes looked straight at Chu Tiankuo as she said calmly.

Chu Tiankuo saw that she would not stop talking even before she reached the Yellow River. She had almost died just now. Yet she still persisted in saying this kind of thing. Where did her courage come from?

”Zui Linglong! Remember who you are, and don't talk nonsense!” Chu Tiankuo said coldly to her. His eyes stared back at Zui Linglong, and he had a fierce look on his face.

Zui Linglong did not seem to be the least bit afraid, and she looked into Chu Tiankuo's eyes directly. After long while, Chu Tiankuo snorted coldly and went away.

At this time, Tang Xia and Nanmen Yi were at the Buddhist temple and sitting on the futons. They were praying sincerely so as to enable the gods to appear.

However, Tang Xia was stiff after a while.

”My legs are sore! This will take another three days. It's terrible!” Tang Xia thought silently in her heart that since she became the queen, she rarely did the rites of kowtowing. She was the queen who accepted the bows from the other imperial concubines!

”I am tired of kneeling! Why did people kneel in the ancient times? Didn't they feel tired? Or... Is this a form of exercise for the ancient people?”

Tang Xia thought about it in her mind, and moved her tired legs from time to time to ease their circulation.

Although Nanmen Yi was not as uncomfortable as Tang Xia, he was also a bit annoyed. ”It's better in my country.” Nanmen Yi thought.

”There are so many rules for people here. I heard that the rite of kowtowing is a ritual here that is done on a daily basis. How tiring is that! Kneeling for a while is actually more tiring than riding on the grassland.”

Nanmen Yi naturally heard Tang Xia moving about, and it felt odd to him, ”Even she can't stand the rules of her own country.”

Nanmen Yi opened his eyes discreetly and peeped at Tang Xia. Seeing her moving her body and the look of impatience on her face, he felt a little piqued but did not say anything.

After a while, both of them couldn't stand it anymore. They opened their eyes and looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

”Let's take a break!” They said this together. The scene suddenly became so quiet that only the sounds of their breathing could be heard, which was rather embarrassing.

”It's becoming bit awkward now!” Tang Xia lowered her head and thought in her heart.

”That... ” Tang Xia made a sound first. Nanmen Yi turned his head and looked at her with bright eyes. Tang Xia almost couldn't continue. She calmed her mind and said, ”Are there any funny happenings in your country, Nanmen?”

Hearing her asking about his own country, Nanmen Yi's eyes lit up suddenly.

”Nanmen has lots of fun things! You can ride horses on the grassland, and you can also barbecue there!”

”What else?” Tang Xia asked hurriedly. She really did not want to be in this embarrassing situation any more.

”We have a lot of activities and food that you don't have here. I don't think the food here is very delicious,” Nanmen Yi thought for a moment and said, ”I don't like the food here. I miss the food at home.”

”The local customs and habits of each place are different, so each person has their own tastes! It can be difficult to adjust.”

Tang Xia echoed.

”If you really don't like it, I'll find a chef from Nanmen to cook for you after our prayers.”

”Okay!” Nanmen Yi smiled brightly at Tang Xia.

Nanmen Yi's smile was incredible. The audience who had been secretly squinting at the screen saw the handsome guy smiling brightly and he looked so handsome. Suddenly all of them went crazy.

”Ah, ah! Nanmen Yi's smile is so sunny and handsome!”

”I really admire the anchor who is able to talk to the handsome guy face to face!”
