Chapter 20 First Encounter with Consort Gongsun Qinghua: The Beauty is a Poetry Fan!
"Xiao Shisan, how dare you!!"
Han Meijun's face flushed red with anger, making her exceptionally charming.
She clutched her back with her bare hands, quickly taking a step back, tears welling in her eyes from the pain: "I am Han Shanggong, the head of palace punishments! How could you do this?!"
Xiao Shisan was furious just now, and his strength should not be underestimated. Even if she were wearing a palace robe, he could probably beat her until she was bright red.
Seeing Han Meijun in such a disheveled state.
Xiao Shisan's anger subsided considerably. "I never hit women, you just had to mess with me!"
Su Yin quickly got up and went to help Han Meijun: "Master, are you alright?"
fine?
Try letting him hit you there?
Han Meijun was too embarrassed to complain about her sore bottom. Her beautiful eyes welled with tears as she glared at him, saying, "Steward Xiao, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Imperial Concubine backing you up!"
Xiao Shisan sneered, showing no fear!
"I'll do whatever I want, what can you do about it? I, Xiao Shisan, am not afraid of your story getting out... Hmph, if you've got the guts, let someone judge this!"
Upon hearing this...
Han Meijun was extremely embarrassed and angry.
She was Han Shanggong, the highest-ranking official in the Palace Punishment Department. Her dignified and authoritative image was already etched in everyone's mind.
If word got out that she had been beaten there by a eunuch, what would become of her dignity?
"You, you!"
Han Meijun was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Xiao Shisan snorted: "Han Shanggong, my residence, Peach Blossom Pavilion, is right behind your courtyard."
If I hear you scolding Suyin again, I'll go around spreading rumors—I'll say that I, Xiao Shisan, spanked Han Shanggong, and that Han Shanggong has a peculiar fetish, actually liking this…”
"Shut up! Shut up now—"
Han Meijun stomped her feet in anger, tears welling in her eyes, and pointed her slender finger at the courtyard gate: "Get out of here! Get out now! Get out of here!!!"
Xiao Shisan spoke up for Su Yin, which warmed Su Yin's heart.
Su Yin was deeply moved, but seeing her master Han Meijun so angry, she still felt guilty and said:
"Steward Xiao, you should leave first. Don't... don't make my master angry."
"Hehe, no problem, no problem!"
Xiao Shisan threw away the ruler and walked outside.
I walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Then Suyin said, "Master, why don't you punish me? It's all my fault..."
"Alright, let's have dinner!"
Han Meijun said, her voice trembling with tears.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shisan smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that Han Meijun was genuinely afraid that he would reveal that she had been spanked...
"Master, let me help you sit down."
"Ouch, that hurts!!!"
puff!
Hearing the noise, Xiao Shisan couldn't help but laugh.
With Han Meijun around, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask Su Yin about Uncle Xiao.
However, now that they know where the master and apprentice live, there are plenty of opportunities...
Lost in thought, Xiao Shisan had already arrived at Peach Blossom Studio.
I just arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Then, there stood Eunuch Wei, holding a black cloth bag.
"Where did you go? Why are you only just coming back?"
Eunuch Wei said displeasedly, "We've been waiting for you for a long time. Humph, we're letting you sleep with a concubine, why are you taking so long? Consort Gongsun Qinghua is right here in the main hall!"
It's true what they say: the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are!
Xiao Shisan smiled sheepishly.
"Hehe, something came up on the way."
"So, we were delayed for a while, and incidentally, we also offended Zhang Dehai, the chief steward of Cining Palace!"
"Eunuch Wei, hmm... this matter, is it really not a big problem?"
Swish!
Eunuch Wei was startled: "How did you offend that person? He's a favorite of Empress Dowager Dou!"
"Well, it's a long story..." Xiao Shisan was about to speak when he saw Eunuch Wei wave his hand.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
"Then let's not talk about it."
"Go in quickly, don't keep Consort Xian waiting!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Wei looked around cautiously.
Xiao Shisan was somewhat perplexed. Should he go in and get straight to the point?
After all, he and Consort Xian, Gongsun Qinghua, had never even met once!
That's pretty awkward!
"Eunuch Wei, what is the procedure for me to enter?"
Xiao Shisan shamelessly asked, "I took off my clothes and lay down myself, how did Consort Xian know what that meant?"
Eunuch Wei glanced over and sneered, "I've already spoken to her; she knows you're a man, not a eunuch. Stop dawdling and come in... I'll guard the door for you!"
"Hmph, as for the rest, we don't need to teach them, right?"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
Bah, what do I need a eunuch like you to teach me?
Mice are born with the ability to burrow!
This is something I'm naturally good at.
It's a real shame that this Eunuch Wei didn't become a pimp in a brothel!
Xiao Shisan suppressed a laugh and was about to push open the door when he glanced at the black cloth bag in Eunuch Wei's hand and was surprised:
"Eunuch Wei, you wouldn't have brought the Empress here in a sack, would you?"
"Don't ask, just go!"
Eunuch Wei urged him on.
Upon seeing this.
Xiao Shisan was too lazy to ask any more questions.
He hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate of Peach Blossom Studio.
Then they walked toward the brightly lit main room.
Before even entering, Xiao Shisan, with his keen sense of smell, caught a whiff of fragrance that smelled wonderful.
It's likely the scent emanating from Consort Gongsun Qinghua, who lives in the room.
We entered the house.
moment!
Xiao Shisan saw it.
A tall, slender figure stood in the room.
Her hair cascaded down to her hips, and her waist was so slender it could be encircled by one hand.
She wore a plain white dress adorned with red plum blossom patterns, which added to her elegance and purity.
I must say, Gongsun Qinghua's back view is quite captivating!
"Hehe, greetings to Your Majesty—"
Xiao Shisan clasped his hands in a fist salute towards her retreating figure: "I am acting on the orders of Eunuch Wei... uh, Your Highness should already know, right?"
Gongsun Qinghua, dressed in a white dress adorned with plum blossoms and exuding an air of nobility, slowly turned around.
Instantly!
Her exquisite face appeared before Xiao Shisan's eyes: an oval face with fair skin, eyebrows like willow leaves, naturally dark without makeup, eyes as bright as stars, and a slightly curved red mouth like the moon beneath a pert nose.
She's an absolute beauty, one in a million!
Even Xiao Shisan, who had seen beauties like the Imperial Noble Consort and Empress Pei Ruohan, was stunned at this moment.
"You are... Xiao Shisan?"
Gongsun Qinghua blushed slightly and looked Xiao Shisan up and down.
Xiao Shisan smiled obsequiously, "Exactly! Uh..."
Damn, this is so embarrassing!
"Uh, um... Your Majesty!"
"Should I take it off now, or wait a while?"
Xiao Shisan grinned shamelessly, "Or should I help you first..."
The word "caret" is not exported.
Gongsun Qinghua had already lowered her noble head in embarrassment, and the pearl hairpin in her black hair shone brightly.
"The treacherous officials' machinations cause me unbearable suffering, while the king, though so close, remains unmoved!"
"Xiao Shisan, did you write these two lines of poetry?"
She asked.
Xiao Shisan was stunned. It seemed that the palace maid, Xiuhe, had spoken to her mistress, the virtuous concubine in front of him.
Xiao Shisan smiled and said, "It was just a casual remark at the time. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Gongsun Qinghua slowly raised her rosy, alluring face, her eyes narrowing with disdain: "It wasn't you who plagiarized someone else's poem? I've always loved literature; don't try to fool me!"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
I rely on?
Do I need to plagiarize others?
Xiao Shisan was too lazy to explain: "Your Highness, Eunuch Wei is still waiting outside. Why are we talking about poetry? Perhaps... we should hurry up and finish this?"
Gongsun Qing's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were dim.
"Xiao Shisan, I do not want to be touched by such a vulgar person, no matter what, even if it goes against my father's wishes."
"And how can you prove that you did it?"
"How about this... you compose a poem for me on the spot, one that fits the pastoral style."
Xiao Shisan: "..."
Depend on?
This Gongsun Qinghua is actually a poetry enthusiast?
Fine!
Since that's the case, let's plagiarize a few.
Anyway, in this life, there are no Three Hundred Tang Poems that I can recite and claim as mine!
Xiao Shisan coughed twice, shook his head, and recited in a clear voice:
"The first poem: Spring slumber is so sweet, I don't even notice the dawn, everywhere I hear birds singing. Last night came the sound of wind and rain, I wonder how many flowers have fallen."
"The second poem: 'Hoeing the fields at noon, sweat drips onto the soil; who knows that every grain in the bowl is the result of hard work…'"
"Hehe, I just blurted it out, didn't I?!"
Swish!
Gongsun Qinghua suddenly raised her beautiful face, her eyes narrowed sharply, and she looked at Xiao Shisan with a shocked expression!
Xiao Shisan is truly a genius of unparalleled talent, possessing a wealth of knowledge!
In just a few breaths, without even thinking, he composed two catchy poems.
"Your Majesty, I'd like to lie down on the couch first!"
He glanced at Gongsun Qinghua's graceful figure and her pretty face.
Xiao Shisan swallowed hard, then walked happily toward the newly made bed...
