Chapter 102 (1/2)
Look, Perform a Sword Dance, Drink Tea and Bask in the Sun
Little eight heard Nan Xun’s doubts and patted his chest to reaffirm her doubts, “When haven’t I fulfilled a promise?”
Nan Xun hehe, then closed her eyes and took a nap.
Little eight had always felt that Nan Xun’s sentence was full of ridicule and contempt.
“It’s true. I didn’t cheat you this time. I know this tyrant’s big secret!” Little eight said quickly.
It was a very reliable beast. Nan Xun’s taunting hehe had simply insulted this beast’s capabilities.
Nan Xun lazily opened her eyes and indifferently said, “Oh? I don’t know what the big secret is?”
Little eight whispered, “I tell you, oh, this tyrant, don’t just look at his appearance. He’s handsome and tall, but actually…hee hee has no libido.”
Nan Xun’s eyes widened with a swish and glistened brightly. A sense of unexplained excitement ran throughout her body. She almost formed a pair of wings and flew.
“Little eight, you didn’t cheat me, did you?”
“No. This tyrant had libido in his last life, but I think there is a shadow in his heart, so he can’t do it in this life.”
However, in the next few days, little eight started talking.
Cuihuan gave her daily report as usual. The emperor had spoiled Xing the other day, Zhao Rong the day before yesterday and Li Shu fei yesterday.
Little eight hastily tried to explain, but Nan Xun no longer wanted to listen.
Cuihuan had just served tea, and seeing her niang niang enjoying the cheap tea, she indignantly said, “Niang niang! Why aren’t you anxious at all? Ah, if it goes on like this, niang niang will really stay in the cold palace for a lifetime! Otherwise, let this slave servant secretly sneak out of the palace to inform lao taiye and laoye, okay?”
Nan Xun expertly poked the little girl’s forehead with her finger. “Cuihuan, you’re stupid ah. Do you think the emperor will just throw me in the cold palace? Do you think it’s so simple? He must have sent someone to spy on us secretly. If a big person suddenly disappears, wouldn’t he know?”
Cuihuan was even more sullen. “Then, we can only resign to this fate?”
Nan Xun smiled. “We’re not resigning to fate, but to preserve and nurture our spirit. If something big happens in the palace, even if the emperor intentionally tries to block the news, not even two or three days will pass before an informer takes the news from the palace and passes it to grandfather and father.”
Cuihuan thought about it and finally gave up the idea of leaving the palace to report, but she was still very happy to go out and steal some flowers, seeds, vegetables, etc.
“Niang Niang, I stole all the flowers and vegetables you asked me to steal.” Cuihuan said with a smile.
Nan Xun hooked her nose and praised, “Good girl, good job.”
Little eight couldn’t help but mutter, “You look like daddy Li Chen when he doted on you.”
Nan Xun’s movements went stiff.
Little eight suddenly stopped talking as if he realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have said.
Nan Xun went to the yard with Cuihuan to dig the soil. Cuihuan dug a pit and Nan Xun sprinkled the vegetables into it. She started to plant flowers after planting the vegetables.
The reason why she was growing vegetables was because Nan Xun only ate scraps of cold soup every day to the point of nausea, and the reason for planting flowers was because she wanted to drink some floral tea to replace the cheap and unappetizing tea.
Although the Chi Mu palace was a cold palace, there were all kinds of things. For example, there was a water well in the yard. It was said that more than n number of imperial concubines had drowned there before. There was also a thick locust tree in the yard, which was very convenient for people to hang themselves with.
