Chapter 8 – Chance encounter

Yun Qian was dressed in green. He was a good-looking boy. His chin was raised high, looking proud. He had a whip around his waist, seemingly good at martial arts.

It was normal that the son of a general would know some Kung Fu moves. However, his posture was nothing related to Kung Fu as he resembled a cat with three legs. It didn’t look good on him at all. Compared to Yun Yi, he was the worst.

Seeing Yun Qian approaching, Yun Siyu curled his upper lip and threw a random kick.

Yun Qian felt something hit his feet. He couldn’t help but look down. His face turned white for a moment and his imposing manner changed. He trembled and cried, “ah…Worm…So many insects…”

“Third young master…”

The servant who was waiting behind, hurriedly looked for a branch to remove them away from him. His face didn’t look good. It seemed that he was very afraid of these creeping earthworms.

When the earthworms were all removed, Yun Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the ground, still shaking a bit from the recent incident.

After a while, the color of Yun Qian’s face improved slightly. He gave Yun Siyu a vicious look, and then left with the help of his servant.

Originally he wanted to say, “Next time, I’ll make you pay”. Tough words, but he really had no strength.

Yun Siyu watched the group of people leave in a mighty way. He clapped his hands and shook his head, “Coward!” Then he bent down, put the earthworms back inside a bottle and went to feed his fish.

Feng Lingxi watched him leave, then turned around and vanished . Although she was disturbed by the others, she was in fact in a good mood at that moment.

Because of the last Lake event, Yun Yi didn’t like to go out anymore. He really didn’t want to go out and be surrounded by people. But today he had to, because lord Ning Wang had asked for him.

Lord Ning Wang was known by the name of Lu Yayin and he was one of the four gifted scholars. In fact, among these four gifted scholars, one of them was married to the empress’ sister, Ning Hwang Yong.

No matter in whose eyes, it was a good place to go back to. Ning Wang Jun wanted to have status. He was a good looking man, gentle and elegant. Even if he was a lord now, there were still many men looking forward to entering the Prince’s mansion. So, he was the envy of men wherever he went.

One was Ning Wang Jun, and the other was the son of the general of the town. When two men move on the street, they naturally take many people with them. With their identities, it was hard not to be noticed.

Since they didn’t like to walk on the street all the time, they chose a jade shop to go in.

Yu Nuange was one of the best jade shops in the capital. The service was natural and considerate. When people came in, they would be led to an elegant room upstairs. There were rare treasures safely retained in these elegant rooms. Besides, there were specially assigned people to serve them, and no one else would disturb them.

Two people climbed upstairs, but before they entered the elegant room, they heard the gossips going around, “Isn’t that the well-known Feng Lou?”

“Who is the woman next to him?”

“Who else? Idle king! Have you seen any other guests around him?”

“This idle king is really lucky. But it seems that no one has talked about her brilliant deeds for a long time.”

“I thought she left the capital. Why is she back now?”

“Nonsense! They are princes and the leisure palace is in the capital. Can she not come back?”

“Yes. It is said that her majesty attaches great importance to this idle king.”

“You don’t understand this. Her Majesty really wanted to value her. Can she just seal her as a ‘free’ king?”

As they were talking, they went downstairs and didn’t care whether anyone heard what they said. Anyway, there were so many ongoing topics about the idle king that they didn’t care at all.

Hearing a few people talking, Lu Yayin stopped and whispered, “Has the idle king returned to Beijing?” Looking up to the downstairs, he saw a figure of a man and a woman disappearing at the door, apparently,just passing by Yu Nuange.

When Yun Yi heard his words, he couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “Do you know the idle king?” Although this idle king was famous, he had never seen her before.

But he didn’t want to see her. He just asked casually. It was better for a woman like that to have less contact with him.

Lu Yayin came back and walked him into the room, and said, “Listen. Her Majesty, the Empress seems to want the idle King to get married.” He was familiar with this idle King because he was Ning Wang.

“To marry?” Yun Yi frowned. “Doesn’t the idle king live in the brothel? If any man married her, wouldn’t his life be ruined? “

Lu Yayin looked at the crystal clear jade plate and said, “That is not entirely true. Although the idle king is a little loose, from beginning to the end, she will always be a prince. I have seen her once and there are not many women who are seductive like her.”

Seductive? Yun Yi can’t help laughing, “what nonsense? Isn’t this a common word used for men? And it’s usually used to describe foxes.”

Lu Yayin didn’t explain much either. When Yun Yi has a chance to see the idle king, he would understand.

They didn’t come in for shopping, but since they had already arrived there, they had to choose two pieces. Lu Yayin chose a jade pendant and Yun Yi chose a jade hairpin and gave it to get wrapped by the people next to him, and then they were ready to leave.

When Yunyi went out, he was in a hurry. He accidentally ran into someone and the things he bought and didn’t hand over to the servant, slipped out. Fortunately, he caught them in time.

Yun Yi was also a martial artist. He responded quickly. He caught the things and looked at the person. He was about to apologize, but Lu Yayin called, “It’s general Su.”

Su Wen glanced, then nodded to him, “Ning Wang Jun.”

Lu Yayin suddenly thought that Yun Yi was old enough now. It was time to marry him off. Otherwise, the best man’s life would be over. The general of Su was a very good candidate. She was young and promising and had no ruler. Now he could not help but say, “Thanks to general Su’s agility. Otherwise, what Yun Yi bought would have gone to waste.”

Hearing this, Su Wen can’t help but look at Yun Yi. She only saw Yun Yi twice from afar. In addition, her attention was on Lu Yayin. For a while, she didn’t recognize him. At this time, when she looked closely, she didn’t feel that he was that famous.

However, knowing that Her Majesty was interested in Yun Yi, she naturally dare not have other thoughts.

Also because of Her Majesty’s intention, when she saw Yun Yi at the moment, she couldn’t help looking at him carefully.

It was because of the position of Empress Feng, Su Wen had been paying close attention to Yun Yi recently. She thought that he should be competent, but that depended on the meaning behind Her Majesty’s words.

Yun Yi felt embarrassed, and Lu Yayin couldn’t help but hook his lips. It seemed that there would be a new show.

Su Wen finished observing and then remembered that she had something else to do. She hurriedly left.

Lu Yayin looked at Yun Yi and said with a smile, “I tell you that general Su is a very important person to Her Majesty. Although she is not old, she has made great achievements in war and has a good appearance. She is young and promising and she is not an amorous person. I never heard that she can’t get along well with any man…”
