A few guards came inside immediately, holding Tang Xia's arms. She avoided their gestures lightly and turned her head away with her blue dress floating up and down.
"How dare you touch me without my permission."
Lengmei's eyes deepened and turned to Tang Xia more seriously. She wore a light smile, which made Tang Xia stunned.
"Yue Ji, why did you become so frivolous? You came to my palace this morning and alerted trouble. I know you have been to Xingyun Tower with our emperor to join the international conference. Besides, our emperor also stayed at your palace last night. However, why have you become so arrogant just because of our emperor's love?"
Lengmei suddenly said these unclear words, which made Tang Xia stunned. The clever feeling in her eyes could not cheat Tang Xia. She thought for a while and wore a smile again.
"Sister, why are you saying this... I just came here for an excuse. Little Yuzi said you asked your maids to spread a rumor about me in the harem. I only hope to have a check over here. How could you have such a big difference with me?"
Tang Xia said with her voice trembling. Her expression was similar to Yi Jiazi's performance, which showed out the grievances in the best way.
Sure enough, Lengmei was stunned and bit her lips tightly. She planned to say something, but was interrupted by a cold sound behind Tang Xia.
"What's happening?" Helian Jue's indifferent voice showed up. Tang Xia had already expected this, but she still pretended to be stunned. She turned around and made a bow to him.
"Your Majesty, why are you coming here?"
Tang Xia wore a vague smile, staring at Lengmei with coldness in her eyes.
"You're too tender to play a trick with me."
"I can't have a clear time in this early morning."
Helian Jue took a few steps to the seat and seemed to be very tired.
Tang Xia was standing by him with a proud expression on her face. Her smile was seemed to be a ridiculous irony in Lengmei's eyes, which made the latter frown.
"Your Majesty, you just stayed at Yue Ji's palace for one night, and she dared to break into my Yanyue Palace directly. If you give her more love, could I still have a peaceful life in my palace?"
Lengmei said her thoughts directly. Without Yi Jiazi's affectation, Lengmei's behavior made Tang Xia surprised.
Helian Jue raised her eyebrows, but said nothing. Tang Xia was stunned and temporarily stopped talking.
However, Lengmei thought she admitted her fault in silence. Her mouth was curved with irony. "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to this."
Helian Jue frowned unhappily. "Who said I had stayed at Jiaofang Palace for a whole night?"
A piece of panic passed by Tang Xia's eyes, which was caught by Lengmei. The latter one wore an ironic smile. "It's Yue Ji, of course. At midnight yesterday, the maid in her palace told everyone she met that our emperor had come to Tang Xia's palace. She behaved so arrogantly like this. Doesn't she become haughty because of our emperor's love?"
Tang Xia just thought of her words last night and the panic in her eyes deepened.
Helian Jue's expression was indifferent. He looked through Tang Xia and his eyesight turned darker.
"What if I spoil her? I do everything for her just to hope that she could be arrogant and proud of my love."
Helian Jue said faintly, which provoked a wave of ripples in Tang Xia's mind. Meanwhile, Lengmei were widely opening her beautiful eyes, while a piece of surprise passed by her face.
Then, the jealousness poured into her mind. She looked at Tang Xia and hoped to pierce her into a sieve. Finally, she moved a little and made a bow. "I get it."
Tang Xia wore a vague smile, but met Helian Jue's faintly observation. The sunshine scattered on her face, leaving a mottle through the shadow of the tree. A piece of coldness passed by Helian Jue's eyes, which made Tang Xia shocked.
"Have you digest my words?" Helian Jue suddenly said these unrelated words, but Tang Xia knew his meaning.
He referred to the words she said last night! He still remembered her refusing!
Tang Xia's eyes were shinning. She forced herself to smile for a few times but she could not. She felt helpless in her mind.
This matter was done without any solution. When they got out of Yanyue Palace, Helian Jue leaned forwards Tang Xia and wore a vague smile.
"My love, you have not answered my question."
He mentioned this topic again, which made Tang Xia feel a little embarrassed. She wore an embarrassed smile and said, "I... I still don't prepare well. I hope you can give me more time, Your Majesty."
Helian Jue seemed to have expected. He observed her for a while and finally moved away.
Helian Jue said nothing and left indifferently. His silhouette was arrogant and lonely.
Tang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, following with Anran. They returned Jiaofang Palace one after the other, but noticed a man dressed in a silver armor stood in front of the palace.
It was Chu Tiankuo.
Tang Xia was excited to see him and stepped forwards. Chu Tiankuo just looked at her for a second and moved away quickly.
"Greetings, Your Grace."
His voice was a bit indifferent and alienated. The sunshine scattered on his silver armor, while the reflecting light hit on Tang Xia's eyelids, which made her blinded for a moment.
Tang Xia nodded her head, while she raised her eyebrows high. She hoped to ask him why he behaved like this, but before she could say something, she was stopped by Chu Tiankuo's cold eyesight.
"Leave us alone." Tang Xia turned her head and said to Anran behind her.
Anran left as she ordered. Tang Xia walked a few steps to Chu Tiankuo. Looking at his arrogant face, she wore a smile. "Thank you so much for saving me last night."
She meant that Chu Tiankuo cut off King Nanchen's arm when the latter came to kill Tang Xia at the time when Helian Jue was planning to kiss her when she was not looking.
Without Chu Tiankuo's action, Helian Jue would kiss her.
Chu Tiankuo finally turned his eyes on Tang Xia's delicate face. The moving shadow scattered on her clear forehead, setting her skin tenderer. The dark-red hairpin in her hair matched well with her blue dress, forming a warm color collision. It was unexpectedly good-looking.
The breeze blew her dress over, floating slightly. Tang Xia wore a vague smile, while Chu Tiankuo's eyesight turned to her lips, which seemed to have irresistible magic to attract her deeply.
He finally turned his head away and said faintly, "Your Grace, you don't have to thank me. It's my duty."
Tang Xia frowned. Chu Tiankuo did not seem to be joking. The atmosphere around dropped down for a few degrees. She did not know why she felt unreasonably uncomfortable when Chu Tiankuo treated her so alienated.
"Chu Tiankuo, are you mad?"
She stared at him angrily, but Chu Tiankuo turned his head away. "If you have nothing to say, I ask for leave, Your Grace."
"The arrogant monster!" Tang Xia leaned forwards him and smiled. "You're my comrades-in-arms and a man comes from the same world as me. You can't be defeated by the system's routine!"
Chu Tiankuo stared at her closely. Quite a lot of complex expression waved in his eyes. He seemed to open his mouth, but finally said nothing.
Chu Tiankuo bypassed Tang Xia and left directly. Tang Xia was a little bit annoyed. How could there be such a person who was always out of mind?
The sunshine scattered on his body, setting him straighter and taller. In the bleak time, Chu Tiankuo seemed to be more and more restrained.
Tang Xia stepped back to Jiaofang Palace, but hearing Anran's impudent screaming. "Your Grace, Eunuch Shun Decai came."
Tang Xia's eyes turned serious and she raised her eyebrows. "Shouldn't he follow our emperor?"
She just departed with Helian Jue, so why he sent a servant over her Jiaofang Palace?
"I don't know. Eunuch Shun Decai came in from the back door, saying that he came with an imperial edict."
Tang Xia thought for a while. "Show me the way."
Shun Decai respectful saw Tang Xia with a golden and shining imperial edict in his hands.
He just asked Anran to leave and said this edict was specific to Tang Xia from Helian Jue.
Tang Xia frowned and made a bow honestly. In front of her, Shun Decai cleared his throat and slowly opened the imperial edict.
"I hereby proclaim that Lady Yue Ji is clumsy. In order to enhance her comprehension skill, Shun Decai should supervise her to read Women's Classics in the Jiaofang Palace every morning."
Hearing his words, Tang Xia did not return to her consciousness for a short while.
"Your Grace, why not receive the imperial edict quickly?"
Shun Decai smiled and put the edict into Tang Xia's hands.
"Why does our emperor make this order?" She was curious.
Why did he say her comprehension skill was not good enough? Should an imperial concubine go to take the exam of Women's Classics...
Shun Decai's smile deepened. "Your Grace, you should consider it again. Did you make the emperor angry recently?"
Tang Xia thought very seriously.
Wait... Was it...
Was it that she said "I need time to think about things happening recently", which made Helian Jue mad to now?
Tang Xia was speechless and helpless. "Should I read it every day..."
Shun Decai smiled. "Yes, Your Grace. I will remind you of reading it. On the base of the policy in the palace, if you don't read it, you will..."
"What will happen to me?" Tang Xia asked carefully.
"You could have a try, Your Grace." Shun Decai smiled again. "I don't hope to interrupt you, Your Grace. I will come to you tomorrow morning punctually."
Tang Xia sent Shun Decai away with sadness on her face. Anran came to her.
"Your Grace? What happened?"
The breeze passed by Tang Xia and blew over her hair. Her amorous eyes were waterful and were full of sadness.
"A tough issue, really tough!"
"What's wrong?" Anran was serious.
"Are the Women's Classics... thick or not..."
Time passed by and the night fell down. Stars scattered in the sky. A line of light fell down on the gate of Jiaofang Palace, which seemed to make it cover a layer of frost.
Little Yuzi ran fast to Tang Xia and kneeled on the ground heavily.
"Your Grace, Lady Jiazi asked me to report to you that she is waiting for you by the Lotus Pool."
What the hell?
Tang Xia raised her eyebrows, while the Little Yuzi on the ground added, "Lady Jiazi said Guard Chu was also over there and they seemed to talk about Faner's issue."
"Isn't the issue of Faner settled? Why does she mention it again?"
Little Yuzi ducked down. "I don't know. The maid of Lady Jiazi asked me to report it to you. If you don't go there, she will arrest Guard Chu and send him to the emperor."
"Does she consider Chu Tiankuo a water-chestnut pudding that she could send as she wants?"
Tang Xia was speechless. When she found Little Yuzi ducked down again, she had to relax her eyebrows. "Well, I will go to meet her."
By the Lotus Pool, Yi Jiazi dressed in purple. Under the moonlight, she was charming and attractive.
"Sister Yue Ji, you're coming."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
A few guards came inside immediately, holding Tang Xia's arms. She avoided their gestures lightly and turned her head away with her blue dress floating up and down.
"How dare you touch me without my permission."
Lengmei's eyes deepened and turned to Tang Xia more seriously. She wore a light smile, which made Tang Xia stunned.
