The female cat that could do backflips
The Eldest Princess's Residence is very large.
Although not as large as the imperial Temporary Palace Villa on Jade Spring Mountain, it is no less impressive.
After personally inviting the Immortal into the mansion,
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang was secretly delighted.
Because just now at the door,
The Immortal is watching her, and he's been watching her all along.
It seems the Immortals liked the fiery red palace dress she was wearing.
The Immortal loved her for being her most authentic self.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyan, this playboy, actually has some skills.
They actually guessed the Immortal's likes and dislikes correctly.
I will remember his merit and reward him handsomely in the future.
After inviting the Immortal into the hall,
A group of beautiful maids immediately served fragrant tea and rare fruits.
Gao Yunyi sat in the main seat.
With a calm and casual expression,
It was as if he were the true master of this noble princess's residence.
"Xiao Zhaohuang pays respects to Azure Profound Immortal Venerable."
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang bowed gracefully, her fiery red palace dress making her appear even more Peerless Beauty.
Gao Yunyi seemed to see the shadow of an old friend in this Eldest Princess.
So I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Are you also good at needlework?"
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang was taken aback upon hearing this, then her phoenix eyes shone brightly.
How did the Immortal Venerable know?
On the surface, she is the Princess Who Guards the Nation of Great Liang, a victorious female God of War, but in secret, she is a woman who prefers to hide in her boudoir, sewing and embroidering.
But this is her private matter.
Not to mention the entire Capital, even within the Eldest Princess's Residence, only a few of her personal Maidservant knew about it.
How did the Immortals know this?
Is it really as rumored?
Immortals can see into people's hearts.
Upon realizing this Xiao Zhaohuang was both surprised and delighted.
Gao Yunyi: "..."
This woman is really good at needlework. Then you shouldn't be called Xiao Zhaohuang anymore, you should be called Dongfang Bubai.
Why not just be the Sect Master of the Sun Moon Divine Cult instead of becoming the Princess Who Guards the Nation of the Liang Kingdom?
The sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible.
Listen to it.
How domineering and imposing!
"Heroes rise and fall with the times; once you enter the Jianghu arts, time flies by."
"Imperial ambitions and conquests are discussed in jest; nothing beats a life of carefree indulgence."
"Sword in hand, mounted on horseback, unleashing a rain of ghosts; white bones piled high, birds startled into flight."
"Worldly affairs are like the tide, and people are like water; alas, how many return from the Jianghu?"
Gao Yunyi saw Xiao Zhaohuang in a red robe, who was also skilled at needlework.
Suddenly, I became interested.
He tapped his fingers on the table, humming softly to himself.
The vast and luxurious hall fell silent instantly, with only the Immortal's clear and resonant voice slowly echoing.
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang was completely mesmerized.
The Immortal is reciting poetry.
It was a poem written specifically for her.
The ambition of a tyrant who once looked down upon the world was exhausted by the years and bloodshed after he reached the top.
Having seen through the futility of imperial ambitions, disgusted by the endless bloodshed and power struggles, he yearned to break free from the shackles of power.
Looking back at the countless white bones, a sense of desolation arises. In the end, only the solitary figure standing atop the peak remains, a profound loneliness with no one to accompany him. Beneath the heroic spirit lies an inescapable sense of desolation and emptiness.
Isn't that describing her?
I thought it was just wishful thinking on my part, but I never expected it to be a meeting of two hearts in perfect harmony.
The Immortal understands me.
The volcano that had been suppressed in Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang's heart for so long finally erupted completely after being stirred up by the Immortal's few words.
"Immortal, I..."
Xiao Zhaohuang's eyes were slightly red, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to hold a thousand emotions he wanted to express, yet he couldn't find the words to speak.
Gao Yunyi, having finished reciting the poem with rapt attention, lowered his eyes.
He saw the woman below, who had a penchant for self-harm, staring intently at him with an intensely passionate and alluring gaze.
It was as if it was melting him.
Gao Yunyi: "..."
What's going on? I just casually recited a line of poetry, why is she reacting so strongly?
What kind of trouble is this woman, who's clearly a bit off her mind, up to now? Is she planning to stab herself in front of him with a dagger again?
"What a beautiful poem! What a beautiful poem! Although I don't understand the language, it feels so powerful and majestic."
Zhang Qingyan clapped her hands in praise.
After his interruption,
The strange, ambiguous atmosphere in the hall was instantly and completely shattered.
The Eldest Princess also suddenly awoke with a start.
The thousand tender feelings and myriad charms in her eyes instantly receded like the tide.
She lost her composure.
I almost lost my composure in front of everyone.
The Immortals ' ability to bewitch all beings has become even more powerful; one can easily fall under Immortal spell and willingly become Immortal emotional slave.
This is clearly a test set by Immortal.
I cannot be fooled.
We must never let the Immortals underestimate us.
Looking into the Immortal's cold eyes, devoid of any worldly desires, Xiao Zhaohuang instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now,
She almost succumbed to it.
She almost couldn't help but confess her love to the Immortal.
That was close!
That was a close call.
Once you fall into their trap
Then what's the difference between me and those shallow, vulgar, ordinary women outside?
Fortunately, at the last moment I resisted the temptation, withstood the allure, and stayed true to myself.
Otherwise, the Immortal would probably have been disappointed and turned away by now.
Zhang Qingyan,
I will remember this merit of yours once again.
Xiao Zhaohuang took a deep breath, suppressing his inner turmoil and sense of relief, and then casually praised:
"Your poem, Immortal Venerable, perfectly captures the poignant truth that fame and fortune are but fleeting illusions. I never imagined that Immortal could be so skilled in poetry. I happen to have some manuscripts by famous poets in my collection; perhaps I could ask Your Immortal Venerable for some guidance?"
Gao Yunyi: "..."
Am I here today to look at some poetry manuscripts?
What is this woman doing?
Gao Yunyi frowned, then turned his gaze to his younger brother, who was hiding to the side, clearly feeling guilty.
Zhang Qingyan had clearly told him that the Eldest Princess's family kept a female cat that could do backflips, which was why he came to see it with great interest.
Otherwise, who would be so bored as to visit this so-called Eldest Princess's Residence?
He still has so many delicious and fun places to visit in the Capital that he hasn't explored yet.
Sensing the doubt and impatience in his older brother's eyes,
Zhang Qingyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite the Eldest Princess to a corner to explain the truth.
Then,
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang was completely bewildered.
When did the Eldest Princess's Residence ever keep a female cat that could do backflips?
"How dare you deceive me, the Empress, and the Immortal!"
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang knew Zhang Qingyan was bold, but she never expected him to be this bold.
"Your Highness, I clearly stated last night that I would find a way to invite my elder brother to the Princess's residence, and the rest is up to you."
Zhang Qingyan explained with an innocent look, but no matter how stubborn she was, she couldn't hide her guilty conscience.
The Eldest Princess's chest heaved with anger upon hearing this. She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as this.
And you should have said something like this sooner!
Now, where is she supposed to find a female cat that can do backflips?
But what's done is done, there's no point in saying more.
The most important thing right now is to please the Immortal.
"You all get out."
Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang waved her hand, and all the beautiful maids and servants in the large hall immediately left the hall.
"And you get out too."
Looking at Zhang Qingyan, who was standing motionless, Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang gritted her teeth and said coldly.
"Oh."
Zhang Qingyan promptly slipped away as well, fearing that if he stayed even a second longer, His Highness would definitely chop him down with a single stroke.
Xiao Zhaohuang reached out and slowly closed the door.
Then, under Gao Yunyi's puzzled and confused gaze,
With a light touch of her toes on the ground, her slender waist twisted suddenly, and she gracefully took to the air, her fiery red palace dress drawing a bright arc in the air as she completed a clean and crisp somersault.
"Meow..."
