FID – Chapter 240

“Liu Yusheng, “Fu Yuzheng said with a smile,” It’s a nice name. Liuyun Pavilion, Yuqian Courtyard, Shengxiao Courtyard… It turns out that they were named after Miss Liu. Has Miss Liu known His Highness for a long time?”

Yuqing Courtyard – Fu Yuzheng once thought it was her jade.

It turned out to be Liu Yusheng.

Liu Yusheng walked into the water, soaked in the pool full of warmth, and let out a comfortable sigh.

Hearing Fu Yuzheng’s remark, Liu Yusheng was stunned, and then softly smiled.

“It’s been a long time since we met. But then, we haven’t seen each other for years.”

Whether Fu Yuzheng was casually asking, or intentionally inquiring, she didn’t want to hide.

The names of these courtyards alone wasn’t enough to conceal. 

“It’s been nine years since you’ve met.” Fu Yuzheng’s eyes were in a trance, and her thoughts drifted to the past. “So Miss Liu has been the one on His Highness’s mind for years.”

Nine years ago, the 16th prince returned from his study tour.

For nine years, he has been a force, supporting the two-year-old infant to sit on the throne, trapped in a power struggle and crisis.

So, they were separated for nine years.

It was also for this reason that she appeared.

The story of the king’s so-called life-saving benefactor, she wasn’t certain of the truth.

But his coma ravings must be true. He called someone only at that time – Shengsheng.

Liu Yusheng did not deny it, “All those years, how did the King live? Can Miss Fu tell me about it?”

“If you want to know this, why don’t you ask the King directly?”

“He won’t tell me.”

“Since this is the case, I can’t tell you. If the King is reluctant to say, he probably doesn’t want you to be sad and upset about the past.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your king that you didn’t serve me well?”The woman’s teasing voice drifted through the sound of water splashing. 

“I’m willing to be punished for my poor service.” After a short pause, Fu Yuzheng added, “But you won’t. The girl who can make His Highness remember for many years must be very kind-hearted.”

Liu Yusheng smiled, “No wonder Feng Qingbai said you are an extremely smart and powerful person.”

“His Highness mentioned me to you?” Fu Yuzheng was stunned again.

“Yeah, he even said you are ruthless.”

“…”

A few moments later, two women’s laughter gently floated out of the pool room.

After coming out of the pool room, Fu Yuzheng retreated.

The man surprisingly waited not far from the door, and she wondered how much of the conversation inside just now did he hear.

The thought of him waiting outside while she was bathing made Liu Yusheng’s cheeks burn.

At this hour, the sky has completely darkened, and the moon rose in the sky, sprinkling a silver splendor.

Under the corridor pillars, there were also windproof lanterns hanging, with a clear yellow glow.

The man stood leaning against a corridor pillar. He was already dressed in a casual robe, and his black wet hair was draped freely behind his head.

He should also have just had a bath.

“Why don’t you go and rest?” Liu Yusheng walked towards the man.

Even after the nap in the afternoon, the bruises under his eyes were still there, revealing his exhaustion.

She surmised that he must have had very little sleep during this time.

The moonlight and lantern glow intertwined, playing a three-dimensional silhouette on the man’s face. Tonight, the cold gave rise to his evil charm.

When the woman approached, the man raised his lips and lightly said, “I was waiting for you.”

Her lips unconsciously overflowed with a gentle smile.

She followed the man obediently back to the compartment. The room has been lit with candlelight. The dim yellow glow felt warm.

The room was almost exactly the same as her room in Xinghua Village, even a small hanging gadget was the same.

As large as the solid brown wood wardrobe to as small as a black ox horn comb…He set it all up diligently.

The familiarity dispelled the unfamiliarity of her first arrival at the royal residence.

When she looked around the room, he kept looking at her af if he hadn’t looked enough.

Only when she withdrew her eyes did he lower his head. “Do you like it?”

“Yes.” Her eyes were filled with a tender smile. “Thank you, Feng Qingbai.”

“A token should be given in exchange for thanks to show sincerity.”

The young girl tilted her head. “What do you want as a thank you gift?”

His eyes deepened a bit and he said hoarsely. “Call me Brother Axiu again.”

“…”

She didn’t expect that the thank the gift he wanted would be this.

She turned her head, and her eyes fell on a pile of assortment on the table. “What are these?”

Feng Qingbai regretfully straightened up and glanced at the items indifferently. “That kid, Feng Mohan, bought them. They don’t match the house furnishings, so you can turn around and throw them away.”

“…” Liu Yusheng walked forward and arranged everything in order on the table. She found that they were all ornaments and laughed. “Look, they’re pretty. We can use them. Hang this wind chime in the window, and place this screen on the dressing table. There’s no need for these pearl curtains. You can hang it in other courtyards…”

These items were valuable at a glance. It would be wasteful to just throw them away.

Besides, when he said that, he was just being petty.

The more this happened, the more she didn’t want to do what he wanted. Who asked him to bully her all day long?

The young girl rambled on, and Feng Qingbai sat down next to her and listened to her.

When she had finished, he picked up the string of wind chimes and got up. “Since you like it, then keep it.”

He said and hung the wind chimes on the bed.

“Wind chimes are hung to the window. When you open the window, the wind will blow, and it will produce a pleasant bell sound.”

He smiled, “If you like it, then hang it.”
