Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 321 Peach Blossom Tribulation

Hong Ning sat next to Si He very obediently, seeming a little reserved.

Fortunately, her aunt would send her telepathic messages from time to time, saying that Si He and Shu Yue Qing Huan were very close, just like little pets at home, so she didn't need to feel the slightest bit anxious or nervous.

Only then did she curl up her delicate body and take off her embroidered shoes, and then tentatively put her slender feet into the warm pool.

But when Si He jokingly stepped on her little foot, she felt uneasy.

After all, there were too many rumors about this Empress Si You. Not only did Senior Sister Bai often mention it to her, but she had also followed Zhao Qing to Shouyun Mountain in her early years... She had also seen the restrained postures of Qingrao and Ji Meng, the two world-traveling ladies.

Not to mention that Kong Yang Xianning and Shen Mo had met Si He a few days after Qinghuan was robbed.

Kong Yang, the chatterbox, was even more dignified, giving her the impression that the Empress was cold and majestic...

Now that it's in Xiaoyi's mouth, how did it become a family pet?

Hong Ning has gained some experience in practicing in Zhongzhou over the past few years and is well aware of the power and significance represented by traveling around the world.

Wherever he goes, it is as if the owner of the building is present in person. The disciples of this lineage will help him with all their might and he is qualified not to bow to any cultivator.

Although the two Eighth Pace members were far less influential than Zhang Jin, Lan Qingji remained indifferent even though the Empress had annihilated the leader of the Chu State sect...

Such origins and cultivation methods are rare, not to mention in the remote Yongning of the small Chu State, even in the vast Central Plains.

Si He's eyelashes fluttered as she chuckled and asked doubtfully, "Are you two practicing spiritual cultivation together?"

What she was referring to was naturally the telepathic communication between Hong Ning and her aunt. This level of spiritual communication could not escape her vast soul.

"What did Xiaoyi say to you?" Si He leaned over, propped up her head with her arms, and asked Hong Ning with a smile.

Red Lemon: ...

She told me you are the pet of the family.

"Tell me to just call her Madam Si He from now on, no need to be so reserved."

That's it...

The girl glanced at her aunt with her bright eyes and chuckled, "She didn't scold me, did she?"

Hearing this joke, Hong Ning was obviously confused. Why would Xiaoyi scold Si He?

My aunt was currently helping Zhao Qing with his work. Her beautiful eyes flicked across my face as she smiled softly, "It's too boring up there in the mountains. We're just bickering and playing around to pass the time. She also often bullies us."

Si He also nodded with a smile, then continued to use his arm as a pillow, and said with a leisurely smile: "Don't worry about my cultivation level, just treat me as your master like Zhao Qing."

Before Ning Mei could react to the naked words, she gently raised her wet feet and asked, "Do you have a handkerchief on you?"

Hong Ning was overwhelmed, but she knew that the conversation between the master and servant was just a joke. Xiaoyi, Qinghuan, and Shuyue all gathered together to help with the cooking...

"Of course I brought it." She smiled sweetly and took out the scented handkerchief she carried with her from her spiritual ring, then stood up and stepped into the warm pool.

The light yellow gauze dress was soaked by the pool water, clinging to her delicate body and outlining her enchanting figure. The woman smiled and leaned over to wipe Si He's slender snow-white feet with her scented handkerchief.

Zhao Qing and the other three were cooking on the surface, but they were secretly watching how Hong Ning and Si He were getting along.

After all, Sister Ning is very familiar with them, but she is still unfamiliar with this Empress Si You.

Shuyue seemed a little excited. She put her small hands together like swords and skillfully added a layer of knife marks to the lamb chops. She whispered, "Wipe it off! That's the silk handkerchief Hong Ning uses to fix her makeup, right?!"

The aunt's beautiful eyes just trembled, and she managed her expression very well. She held Qinghuan's arm and stood beside Zhao Qing, watching. The two of them smiled at each other silently.

Zhao Qing calmly added boiling water to the braised pigeon and was also communicating closely with Si He.

The Yin Hua in my mind was shaking.

Si He: "Ningmei is so sweet and well-behaved. From now on, let's call me Master together."

Zhao Qing: "You can only bully her for a while."

Si He: "Not better than you?"

Zhao Qing: "Ning Mei isn't afraid of being bullied. She's thinking about serving Qing Huan and me at night. Isn't that humble enough?"

Si He: "Can you speak?"

Zhao Qing: "He Ma, you are so arrogant. Can you teach me how to discipline Ning Mei?"

The white-haired girl's bright eyes trembled.

"Your filial piety...?"

Zhao Qing took the rock sugar from Qing Huan and said, "It's gone bad."

·

It is the hour of Chou.

The mountains and swamps tens of thousands of miles southwest of Chu State became pitch black. Tigers, leopards and wolves surrounded the merchants traveling at night. The only sounds in the world were the noisy winds chasing each other.

However, in the Taoliu Palace Garden on the top of Shouyun Mountain, the laughter and praises of women could be heard constantly.

The moonlight poured down along with the waterfall, and the sound of water mixed with laughter echoed here.

Between the peach and willow trees, there was a piece of scarlet charcoal emitting green smoke. Someone's spiritual consciousness controlled the two lamb chops above the charcoal and rolled them slowly.

As drops of clear oil and water fall, the golden tender ribs begin to emit a rich aroma, and the various spices applied on them also begin to stimulate everyone's taste buds.

Shuyue had originally prepared a table, but her aunt just lay down on the ground, completely shattering all the formality of the night banquet.

She sniffed the intoxicating aroma of the lamb chops, picked up the cumin and black pepper powder beside her, and sprinkled a lot of them on top.

"This is the spice that Senior Sister Zhang found. I don't know where she got it from." The aunt lied with her eyes open, fighting back against Hong Ning for deceiving her.

"I have never seen such exquisite paintings, so exquisitely crafted..."

Sister Ning had no idea that she had been kept in the dark by these five people, and she was still praising Zhao Qing's craftsmanship with all her might.

"This actually has little to do with the spices. It's more about Zhao Qing's steady control of the heat. It's even more tempting than the swiftlets I tasted in Zhongzhou... I wonder what it tastes like?"

Si He leaned comfortably on Shu Yue's legs, his bright eyes sweeping over the vinegar fish, red shrimps, chicken wings that had been placed on the ground for a long time, as well as several stir-fried vegetarian dishes that Qing Huan had hurriedly prepared. He was also a little surprised.

The meal Zhao Qing cooked was quite decent. Although it was far from the level praised by Hong Ning, it did restore 70% of the color and aroma.

It's just too slow!

After an entire hour, the sweet and spicy chicken wings that were first out of the pot had lost their vibrant color, but we still couldn't start eating...

All I could do was listen to Hong Ning chattering away, sometimes praising herself for being so beautiful, sometimes praising Zhao Qing for being so handsome, or saying that Qing Huan was caring and Shu Yue was the most clever...

Even the warm pool and the cascading waterfall beside it were not spared from this disaster, and were praised by Hong Ning to heights that they could not originally reach.

at last.

Following Zhao Qing's response, Qinghuan brought out the last dish of braised pigeon, and the food and wine were ready for the banquet.

Six people sat around the edge of the Jade Pond. Not far away were sizzling lamb chops, and around them were misty water vapor from the waterfall... There was also the cool night breeze, swaying willows, and delicate peach and camellia flowers.

There was no distinction between high and low during meals at home. Hong Ning changed into a dark green dress and squeezed together with her aunt.

Si He had just been resting his head next to Shu Yue, and now the two of them were sitting directly on the ground. Only Qing Huan, who had been busy accompanying his master, was left and came late. He was directly embraced by his master.

"For so many years, whether in Lanxian, Songshan, the desert, Qixia, or even Liuli Island... whenever we sit under the moon, Qinghuan will always stay close to her husband."

Shuyue said with a crisp laugh, and at the same time took the small foreign liquor and handed a bottle to Hongning, indicating that she could drink it herself.

Si He, with his white hair hanging down, picked up a piece of spicy chicken for Shu Yue, who was peeling shrimp for her. He then added fuel to the fire, "Zhao Qing is keeping a close eye on Qing Huan. Even if she wanted to hide and play around like you, she wouldn't have any chance."

Seeing that everyone was teasing Hong Ning with her, Qing Huan smiled softly and broke free from her master's arms, then knelt beside him to help him pick up the dishes and pour the wine.

Zhao Qing was enjoying himself leisurely, occasionally making eye contact with Hong Ning, and sighing in his heart that Ningmei was really nice!

No matter how you tease him, he never gets angry and is so well-behaved that it's unbelievable.

I don’t know if it’s because the braised pigeon is the hottest, but my aunt and Shuyue both started to pick up some pigeon meat, and in less than a cup of tea, there were only a few pieces left. Even Hong Ning’s own plate was filled with a lot of meat.

Gu Qinghuan smiled sweetly, leaned over and brought the dish directly to the host, picked up a piece for herself and said with a smile: "This pigeon has been prepared with soup in advance. Qinghuan, go get the soup."

After saying that, she stood up and turned to go to the stove...

The aunt saw the right moment and asked Hong Ning jokingly, "Didn't you say you had brothers and sisters in Zhongzhou you wanted to visit?"

Hong Ning, facing Shu Yue's mischievous gaze, looked at Zhao Qing with her autumn eyes and said playfully, "We can go on a trip together in the future. We'll have a chance to go to Zhongzhou again. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Qing laughed and scolded, "You said you wanted to go to Zhongzhou yourself, but weren't you deliberately making us worry about you before?"

Red Lemon's bright eyes rippled, and her cheeks flushed coquettishly: "Isn't this just thinking about being punished by you and bringing you home to ravage you~"

?

good good!

Shu Yue listened to Si He's voice transmission and temporarily acted as the Empress' mouthpiece, continuing to tease Hong Ning: "My husband mentioned to me when he came back that you felt that two people would get bored if they were together for too long."

Hong Ning looked back at Shuyue and Sihe with a smile. No matter who teased her, she would fire at Zhao Qing fiercely.

He didn't eat the food anymore, put down his chopsticks, leaned over and smiled at Zhao Qing: "I am indeed like this, but with you... I am not afraid of getting tired of you~"

Zhao Qing listened to Shuyue's reminder with a smile, and asked in return, "Then will you stay in this palace from now on?"

"Okay!"

"This place is picturesque, with clear waters and green mountains. I can play chess with my aunt in my spare time, practice swordplay with Shuyue, and dance with Qinghuan. I can't wait to live in this palace right now."

"And if you have any doubts during your practice, you can always ask the Empress for advice..."

She changed the subject and asked Shuyue urgently, "Is there a room for me?"

"Of course there is." Shuyue helped Qinghuan place the soup bowl, feeling a little surprised that Hongning was left behind so easily.

Si Heyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Zhao Qing lives with Shuyue and Qinghuan, sleeping with them in the same bed, hugging them on both sides. I'm afraid there is no place for you~"

Hong Ning seemed to think for a moment, then playfully glanced at her aunt's beautiful eyes: "What about you?"

The aunt glared at Zhao Qing and said, "I don't like to make trouble with them. Why... do you want to sleep with me?"

"No."

"I'll just live in my own little room."

Hong Ning looked at Zhao Qing with an ambiguous expression: "I don't get much rest at night either. Who knows, maybe someone will come and accompany me for a night out."

Night tour?

My aunt had a strange look on her face. She looked at Qinghuan teasingly but didn't say anything.

With Qinghuan here...how could Zhao Qing possibly come out late at night to go out with Hong Ning?

Now there's a lot of waiting to do.

Qing Huan knelt beside her master, her phoenix eyes trembling slightly as she spoke softly, "If the master wants to rest with Shu Yue and Ning Er, Qing Huan can kneel beside them and indulge in their lust."

When the words came out, my aunt and Shuyue were already used to it and didn't think anything of it.

But Hong Ning was obviously feeling very embarrassed, and thought she had bullied Qing Huan. She explained softly, "It was just a joke. Ning'er and Shu Yue sleeping together... is also a little... embarrassing."
