"What's up?" Ji Feiyu asked curiously.
Shuanghua quickly seized the opportunity to pour out her grievances. "As soon as I got home, my mother started introducing this person and that to me, as if I couldn't get married. It was so annoying! I thought I had nothing to do at home and missed the plum blossom cakes made by Aunt so much, so I rushed back from the northern land. But I didn't expect..." She blushed as she looked at Ji Feiyu and couldn't help sticking out her tongue.
Ji Feiyu tapped her on the head, then gave her an indulgent glance and pulled her back. "Don't believe what your eyes see. Come into the house with Aunt. Aunt will tell you slowly."
Ji Feiyu was now Shuanghua's instructing aunt. Shuanghua liked her so much that she kept calling her "Aunt" all day long. Ji Feiyu also allowed her to omit the first two words. She thought that if she were really Shuanghua's aunt, wouldn't she be taking advantage of Yuchi Yanyan in terms of seniority?
Shuanghua followed Ji Feiyu into the room shyly. Meanwhile, Huahudie was elegantly and nonchalantly getting dressed. Since he had just put on layer upon layer of clothes without buttoning them up, his collarbone and the grooves of the muscles on his chest were clearly visible. Even more eye - catching were one or two bright red scratches on his chest.
Because Huahudie's skin was delicate and fair, after being tossed around by Ji Feiyu for a while, marks were left on his chest. These marks on his fair chest were really quite eye - catching. Moreover, he had a slender waist and broad shoulders. Apart from well - proportioned muscles, there was not a single ounce of extra flesh on his body. His figure was really good.
Ji Feiyu was already used to his flirtatious postures and could remain calm. But Shuanghua was just a young girl who had just come of age. How could she have seen such a seductive scene? So as soon as she went in, she couldn't hold back and her nosebleed gushed out. Ji Feiyu quickly pulled her to sit down, gave her a silk handkerchief to hold her nose, then went to pour water for her and sighed softly. "The climate in the north is really dry. Just coming into a warm room can make one's blood boil. Hey, Shuanghua, drink slowly."
Huahudie didn't care if Ji Feiyu was saving face for Shuanghua. He looked at Shuanghua with a half - smile, hooked his lips and said, "Little girl, it's really not good to think about such things at such a young age."
Hearing this, Shuanghua immediately spat out a mouthful of water. Blushing, she shouted, "I didn't! It was you who were seducing me!"
Huahudie clicked his tongue. "Tsk tsk, at such a young age, you already know the word'seduce'. What will you be like when you grow up?"
Hearing this, Shuanghua was about to explode, but Ji Feiyu quickly calmed her down. "Don't argue with this flirt. Aunt was just joking with him just now. See this chessboard in front of you? Aunt made a bet with him that whoever lost would take off their clothes. But this guy couldn't accept defeat. He just wouldn't take off his last piece of clothing, so Aunt went up and forced him to. It's completely different from what you think."
Shuanghua pouted as she looked at Ji Feiyu. "What did Shuanghua think? Aunt, do you also think Shuanghua is so impure?"
As soon as she said this, she and Huahudie couldn't help laughing. In that situation just now, it was hard not to think wrongly. It really couldn't be blamed on Shuanghua.
"Okay, Ling'er, stop nagging with her. Let's continue playing chess." By now, Huahudie had buttoned up his clothes and started setting up the chess pieces again.
Hearing this, Shuanghua blocked Ji Feiyu's hand that was reaching out for the chess pieces and said, "Aunt, don't play chess with him anymore. Let's go out and play!"
Huahudie said, "What do you know, little kid? Get out of the way. I won't argue with you today."
But Shuanghua didn't back down. Instead, she threw the question to Ji Feiyu. "Aunt, tell me yourself. Do you choose Shuanghua or that flirt..."
Flirt... Ji Feiyu couldn't help twitching the corner of her eyebrow. Shuanghua, your learning speed is too fast... She had just called him that...
Huahudie stared at her with his peach - blossom eyes. "What did you say?"
Shuanghua tilted her little head up and stared at him. "So what if I said you're a flirt? If you dare to seduce my aunt again, I'll have you beaten with a board!"
Huahudie found it funny. "Oh, the little princess has learned to throw her weight around. With this attitude, you still want to marry into Dayong. Let me tell you, don't even think about it."
The reason why Shuanghua wanted to marry into Dayong originated from a moonlit night. She got a booklet called *The Sorrow of the Nation - Conquering Beauty* from a passing merchant. Then she cried loudly while reading it. Ji Feiyu didn't know what was going on. She just thought that the girl was deeply touched by the story and couldn't help herself, so she took the booklet away, carried her to bed and coaxed her to sleep. Who would have thought that she would mumble Ji Feiyu's name that hadn't been heard for many years. "Aunt, why did Empress Feiyu die like that? How sad the Emperor of Yong must be! He's blind and alone. How can he deal with those who have ulterior motives?"
Only then did Ji Feiyu realize something was wrong. She immediately ran to flip through *The Sorrow of the Nation - Conquering Beauty* and found that it half - truthfully and half - falsely told the love story between her and Yong Yaxuan. At that time, she didn't know that this booklet had once been popular in Dayong, nor did she know that it had been listed as a banned book and destroyed in a centralized manner not long after it became popular. She also didn't know that the one in her hand was a rare single copy. She only knew that seeing Yong Yaxuan's infatuation in the book made her heart ache, so she waved her hand and threw the booklet into the brazier.
"It's just a fabricated story. There's no such infatuated person in the world."
"Aunt!" Seeing this, Shuanghua jumped up from the bed and wanted to pick up the booklet, but was stopped by Ji Feiyu. Ji Feiyu advised her, "Shuanghua, at your age, you shouldn't read such nonsense stories anymore. Go to sleep well. You still have to practice the piano tomorrow!"
Seeing this, Shuanghua shook her off forcefully and pounced on the brazier. The consequences of her desperation were twofold. One was that she managed to grab back half of the damaged booklet at the cost of burning her hand. The other was that she had a conflict with Ji Feiyu and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Ji Feiyu thought she was just a child and didn't care too much. Who would have thought that a few days later, she heard her tell Yuchi Yanyan that she wanted to marry into Dayong to comfort and accompany the king. At that time, she really had a childlike mind. She felt all the goodness in the world and fantasized that if she were by that person's side, she could also get a lifetime of protection. But Yuchi Yanyan and Ran Wei, who knew the truth, firmly refused her.
Ji Feiyu thought she would cry loudly, but instead, she came to tell her that she wouldn't give up. Later, Ji Feiyu advised her many times, but she just casually told her not to say anymore. Unexpectedly, this girl was very determined.
This time, when Huahudie used this to provoke her, she wasn't angry. She just sneered. "You're not him. How do you know he doesn't like me?"
Huahudie joked, "How don't I know? He and I like the same kind of people. If I don't like you, he definitely won't give you a second look!"
