Chapter 26: The Image Was Too Beautiful (2/2)
Imagining Elder Yu’s bearded hairy face in the midst of that intoxicating scene with pink flower petals elegantly fluttering around.
Tang Doudou wasn’t able to hold it back and a giggle bursted out. That image was seriously too perfect, she didn’t dare to continue imagining.
Qing Yin watched Tang Doudou with a curious gaze as Tang Doudou started laughing more and more exaggeratedly. In the end, she laughed until she couldn’t even stand steadily and leaned against the Chrysanthemum Glass Jade Palanquin panting for breath.
What in the world did he think of? Is it that funny?
Qing Yin was particularly puzzled. How could a person’s mood change so fast? Just a few moments ago he was still inconsolable and indignant, yet in the blink of an eye he started laughing to the point he couldn’t tell north from south.
Seeing that the hour was getting later and later, Qing Yin could only move up and pull Tang Doudou: “Li gongzi, let’s go!”
“Ok ok, going going! God, I’m dying from laughter!”
Tang Doudou pulled Qing Yin’s hand over, slightly forgetting about her male identity: “Qing Yin, your name is Qing Yin, right? Let me tell you ah! You remember that Elder Yu?”
Qing Yin’s little face was red. She wanted to take her hand back but was also scared of angering Tang Doudou to the point that Tang Doudou would refuse to leave with her, so she endured. Turning her hand over, she pulled Tang Doudou’s hand and walked forward: “This servant is called Qing Yin. Wonder what gongzi suddenly thought of to cause you to laugh so happily?”
“You want to know?”
“En.”
“If you want to know then I won’t tell you! Hahaha!”
“Gongzi, you’re so mean!”
…….
As the voices of the two gradually grew faint, their figures also disappeared into the darkness of the path ahead. A maid came to the front of the palanquin and was just about to carry the palanquin away when she suddenly cried in shock: “Aiyah*! Master!”
Aiyah is an interjection of wonder, shock or admiration
“Shut up!”
Baili Yu naturally also knew what she was shocked about and his tone was a bit displeased. A trace of fury even appeared on his fair face. This Li Xueyi sure has grown some guts after losing his memories! To actually take advantage of the time when her wild laughter drew everyone’s attention to pick out those two gems on the palanquin door.
Seeing Master infuriated, the maid hurriedly close her mouth. Not waiting for Baili Yu’s command, she immediately lifted up the palanquin and headed into the night.
Tang Doudou had no clue that Baili Yu simply never planned to stay in the same courtyard as her.
At present she was currently chatting and joking with Qing Yin as they walked to the front of a guest room. On the entire way here, she felt that Qing Yin’s personality was particularly her type so she pulled at Qing Yin and chattered incessantly without end, as if she greatly regretted not having met earlier.
When they got to the door, Qing Yin was just about to withdraw when Tang Doudou stopped her: “Qing Yin, why don’t you just sleep with me tonight? While we sleep we can continue chatting, what do you think?”
Hearing this, Qing Yin was frightened to the point she trembled, almost flinging away her hand.
Although she was Baili Yu’s servant, but in reality she was much more pampered than many of the girls from wealthy families. Most days, other than Baili Yu there were no others that dared to order them to do this or that, don’t even mention such an offensive demand like sleeping with a guest.
But then again, Master had never received a guest before. Li Xueyi has broken several precedents in a row.
Due to this, she also didn’t dare to offend Li Xueyi and could only let him continue to grab her hand. She showed a troubled expression: “Li gongzi, I still have to go back to serve Master so I cannot stay for long.”
“Your family’s Master is so stingy!” Tang Doudou pushed open the door and peeked inside. it was pretty wide and spacious.
“Master treats all of us very well.” Qing Yin was a bit frustrated. She completely didn’t understand why Li Xueyi was so deeply prejudiced towards Master. She had followed at Master’s side ever since she was a child and had never seen him treat anyone this well before. This Li Xueyi seriously doesn’t know how to be content with one’s situation. If he wasn’t a man, she would even think that Master had fallen for him.
Oh…… Master also wasn’t a child anymore, it should be about time to get married.
But all these years, other then them sisters, Master had never gotten close to any girl before. Now, to actually treat Li Xueyi this well, perhaps……
Qing Yin was stunned by her own thoughts and blanked out. Master actually liked men?
She immediately flung away this unrealistic thought. Master, that immortal-like being, how could he be homosexual!
But looking again at Tang Doudou, his face was pampered and charming, bright and refreshing. A white robe danced elegantly and was rather similar to Master’s temperament. Recalling the image just now of Master catching Tang Doudou, there was also an immortal companions-like flavor.
His figure was much thinner than most men. At first glance he was quite like a girl.
Could it be, this was precisely the type Master likes? Forget it, as long as Master likes them, whether it’s a man or a woman doesn’t matter. Not to mention, the opposite party is still an Alliance Head after all, it still counts as quite well-matched in terms of social status with Master.
For the sake of Baili Yu’s marriage affairs, servant girl Qing Yin also worried to the point her heart was fragmented.
“That’s your family’s Master, of course you’d say that!” Tang Doudou let go of Qing Yin’s hand, saying in her heart that she couldn’t cause trouble for her. Anyways, she was staying here so there would be a lot more chances.
What’s more, if she’s by herself it’d also be useful in planning out what to do in the future. Continuing to be moved about like this isn’t a solution.
Qing Yin released a breath of relief. She was afraid Tang Doudou will continue to persist. Fortunately he was still quite reasonable and didn’t persist much.
“Then Li gongzi should head to rest soon. Qing Yin will head over here again tomorrow.”

I love chapters like this~ So easy to translate~
Trivia: The Chinese phrase for homosexual translates to “cut sleeve”. It comes from an ancient Chinese homosexual story in which the Emperor and his boytoy Dong Xian laid down together. Dong Xian fell asleep on top of the Emperor’s sleeve and crushed it, but when morning came the Emperor couldn’t bear to wake him, and so he used a sword to cut through the sleeve.
