The person on Fang Kuan's back wore a cap with curved gold - painted brims and a narrow - sleeved robe with floral patterns on the back. A pair of red - faced black boots dangled on either side of Fang Kuan's body.
It was obvious at a glance that he was a eunuch from the palace.
Fang Kuan ignored his shouts and rushed in like the wind. "Eunuch Huang, don't worry. My stance is steady. It's even steadier than your eight - carried sedan chair. Have you ever fallen off during this whole journey on my back?"
He suddenly stopped in front of Song Yinghuai. The four of them stared at each other.
Caiyu: …
She had never felt so horrified.
A eunuch carried in vertically!
Huang Shan, the imperial envoy from the capital, was forced by Song Yinghuai to enter the capital ahead of schedule. Full of anger, he refused to cooperate. In the end, Fang Kuan carried him on his back and traveled three hundred miles in a hurry using light - body skills, forcing him to enter the capital.
Huang Shan was brimming with anger. He was about to explode when he saw Song Yinghuai. But unexpectedly, he saw a charming woman behind Song Yinghuai and was instantly stunned on Fang Kuan's back.
He was completely captivated.
There was actually such a stunning woman in the world.
Huang Shan wished he could immediately include her in the list of candidates for the imperial consort selection and send her into the palace.
The emperor would surely like her very much and bestow great rewards.
"Who is this..." Huang Shan's anger subsided. His eyes were fixed on Caiyu, and he even forgot to jump off Fang Kuan's back.
Caiyu felt nauseated by his blatant gaze. She quickly lowered her head and hid herself behind Song Yinghuai. Her slender white fingers clutched the fabric of Song Yinghuai's back through his black - gold robe.
Noticing the nervous movement of the woman behind him, Song Yinghuai's lips curled up slightly in a cold smile. His tall body silently shielded her as he said to Huang Shan,
"A maid in the mansion."
He didn't offer any more explanations, but the word "maid" was enough to make Huang Shan give up the idea.
A woman of such a low - born status had no qualification to serve the emperor in the palace.
He had served the emperor for many years and was excellent at reading people's expressions.
Seeing that this woman dared to move behind the Prince of Yan for protection and that the Prince of Yan didn't refuse but even shielded her with his body.
The relationship between them was self - evident. Presumably, her virginity was also lost.
Huang Shan was extremely disappointed. "Oh, so she's just a maid. I heard that there's a stunning cousin living in the prince's mansion. I thought it was her. I was looking forward to meeting her!"
Although he said so, from his vantage point on Fang Kuan's back, he had a good view. Looking down, his eyes were glued to the top of Caiyu's head and couldn't move.
Although he couldn't offer her to the emperor, this stunning beauty. If he asked Song Yinghuai for her to serve him for a while, would Song Yinghuai agree?
Although Huang Shan was a eunuch, eunuchs were not as indifferent to women as the world thought.
On the contrary, due to their physical deficiencies, they were not only strongly interested in women but also had many strange and perverted ways in their daily lives.
The so - called "paired eating" secretly popular in the palace made the maids who "paired ate" with the eunuchs suffer a great deal.
It's just that the people in the folk, especially the young ladies in the boudoirs, were unaware of these sordid things because of their family's protection.
Hearing Huang Shan mention the cousin, Song Yinghuai's eyes flashed. He turned to look at Jiang Jinyue standing not far away and said with a meaningful smile,
"There is indeed a stunning cousin. She's right there."
Huang Shan's attention was immediately attracted by Song Yinghuai's words. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Jiang Jinyue. His eyes lit up again.
Jiang Jinyue thought Caiyu was going to die yesterday. In a great mood, she dressed up specially and went to the dungeon for interrogation.
She was originally good - looking, and with the makeup and dressing, she looked noble and gorgeous, not much inferior.
Huang Shan jumped off Fang Kuan's back. He smiled and bowed to her,
"Good day, cousin."
Jiang Jinyue had no idea what Huang Shan and Song Yinghuai were up to. She only knew that her beauty had attracted the man, so she immediately became proud and returned the greeting gracefully.
"Jiang Jinyue of the Jiang family in Jiaodong pays respects to the envoy."
"Wow, cousin is indeed a young lady from a noble family. Your manners are polite and proper."
Huang Shan was beaming with joy. He reached out and lifted Jiang Jinyue's arm, then helped her up.
The fragrance of the woman's powder wafted into his nose.
Jiang Jinyue had two double - petaled begonia flowers in her black hair today. Her begonia - pink ruqun fluttered in the cold morning wind.
Huang Shan's hand on Jiang Jinyue's didn't want to leave.
Her skin was fair, and her hands were plump, like water - soaked Hetian jade, slightly transparent in the morning light.
Huang Shan gently stroked Jiang Jinyue's hand, feeling the smooth skin of the young girl.
The hands of a young lady from a noble family were really different.
The hands of the newly - entered maidens in the palace were also very delicate, but they were all the emperor's women.
At most, he could only take the opportunity to rub against them during the body - checking or serving, which was like scratching an itch through boots and not satisfying at all.
As for the maids who did rough work in the palace, their skin couldn't compare with this one at all.
This was a proper young lady from a noble and respected family, and she didn't belong to the emperor!
Although the maid just now seemed to be more beautiful, Huang Shan was of low birth and had a twisted mind. He was more interested in pulling a noble lady off the altar.
Huang Shan became even bolder. He tightened his grip on Jiang Jinyue's hand and said with a smile, "Cousin, please get up quickly. Such a delicate lady shouldn't kneel. I feel sorry for you."
Jiang Jinyue finally felt that Huang Shan's behavior was a bit too much and felt nauseated.
But she didn't dare to offend Huang Shan.
This man was an imperial envoy sent to Yanjing by the emperor's order. Even her cousin had to go to Tongzhou to greet him in person. What right did she have to turn against him?
Moreover, he was just a eunuch. At most, he would take a little advantage. He couldn't do anything to her.
Jiang Jinyue got up following Huang Shan's strength. She secretly tried to pull back her wrist but failed. So she had to force a smile and say,
"Thank you, eunuch... You've come a long way and must be tired. I heard that my cousin had someone prepare a welcome banquet early. You must enjoy yourself today."
Huang Shan replied in a shrill voice. He suddenly pulled Jiang Jinyue into his arms with force.
Jiang Jinyue let out a soft cry. She staggered and involuntarily threw herself at Huang Shan, hitting his thin chest.
A strong sense of revulsion suddenly welled up.
Jiang Jinyue suddenly remembered the scene in the water of the Taiye Pond when she was surrounded by a group of men who groped her everywhere. She shivered and suddenly let out a scream. She pushed Huang Shan away with all her might!
Huang Shan was a sissy with an unsteady stance. Suddenly pushed, he let go of his hand and sat down on the ground with a thud!
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Caiyu was amused by this sudden scene. Her body trembled, and she let out a snort of laughter.
However, Song Yinghuai in front of her coughed lightly, perfectly covering up her stifled laugh.
Then she heard the deep voice of the man in front of her, "Presumptuous!"
Caiyu quickly shut up and hid herself more inconspicuously.
She really couldn't hold it in.
Zhu Xiao let out a "heh" sound. His eyes were full of mockery as he scolded, "Cousin, what's going on? How could you treat our noble envoy like this?"
"I, I didn't mean to!" Jiang Jinyue knew she had caused a big problem. Her face turned pale instantly.
Zhu Xiao had watched the whole show. Naturally, he knew Song Yinghuai's intention. He added insult to injury, "Even if you didn't mean to, you can't be so rude. Look, you've almost broken the envoy's noble buttocks into two pieces."
Huang Shan sat on the ground, his face turning green and then white.
Even when Zhu Xiao reached out to help him, he was still furious. He snorted and refused to get up.
Sheng Jiangli, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally stepped forward and lifted Huang Shan up.
It was more like lifting him rather than helping him.
Sheng Jiangli let out a hearty laugh and said, "Eunuch Huang, long time no see."
Huang Shan was about to get angry. But seeing that the person was one of his own, he finally held back his anger. He stared at the trembling Jiang Jinyue menacingly and replied to Sheng Jiangli,
"General Sheng, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to enter the mansion to protect me. Is this how you protect me?"
