“I heard that His Majesty only left Jing Meiren to stay with him yesterday.”
When Jian Xiuyun heard this, he suddenly paused as he was about to take a step forward, and stopped at the door.
Then he heard another palace attendant lower his voice, “Yes! I don’t know what method she used. There are so many beauties sent in these days, but she is the only one that His Majesty loves the most.”
After sighing with envy, he continued, “She is really loved a lot. I heard that His Majesty takes her with him wherever he goes these days. I wish I could hide her in my sleeve at all times.”
“Yes! I’m afraid that in a few days, we might have a little Your Highness.”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of ambiguous laughter.
Jian Xiuyun didn’t listen anymore, opened the bead curtain and walked out.
The people outside immediately fell silent, and saluted, “Jian Xianjun.”
Jian Xiuyun nodded slightly and walked towards the door. Seeing this, the palace attendants immediately got him a cloak and tied it on.
“Jian Xianjun, it’s snowing heavily outside, be careful of catching a cold.”
Jian Xiuyun nodded, opened the door, and saw that a thick layer of snow had accumulated outside.
A palace attendant held an umbrella for him. Jian Xiuyun reached out to take it and said, “There is no need to follow.”
Upon hearing this, the palace attendant handed him the umbrella and retreated.
He walked out of the bedroom door, and there was really no one following him.
There was indeed no need to worry about him escaping anymore. Now that the entire cultivation world belonged to Kan Wenxiao, where could he escape to?
The snow kept falling, and it was completely white. Jian Xiuyun stopped to identify the direction.
Yesterday, he taught Xiao Xi’er a poem, and when he recited “There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, Ling Han blooms alone”, Xiao Xi’er tugged his sleeve and said she wanted to see plum blossoms.
There were no seeds around the bedroom, so Jian Xiuyun asked the palace attendants. He didn’t expect that there really were any.
A garden of red plum trees was specially planted in Anxiang Pavilion.
Xiao Xi’er originally wanted to come with him, but she had been coughing for the past few days and seemed to be showing signs of cold, so Jian Xiuyun refused without hesitation.
The cold wind blew the snow into his clothes. Jian Xiuyun tightened his cloak and continued to walk forward.
Fortunately, Anxiang Pavilion was not far away, and he found it within a quarter of an hour.

When he walked into the backyard, he saw a large area of red plum blossoms in full bloom as soon as he entered. The branches were blanketed with fresh snow, the white contrasting stunningly against the red. The light fragrance and crisp air poured into his nose, and Jian Xiuyun felt that the depression in his heart had been lessened.
He walked in, admiring the snow and plum blossoms, while picking out a few red plum blossoms, intending to take them back to Xiao Xi’er.
The scenery in front of him was so beautiful that he walked a little further without realizing it.
Then, a burst of pipa sound was heard.
Jian Xiuyun was a little curious and walked over searching for the sound of music.
Soon, he saw a vermilion pavilion built at the end of the plum forest, with several figures inside.
Jian Xiuyun couldn’t get close, so he hid behind a plum tree and looked there.
Then, he saw a graceful woman dancing in such cold weather wearing only a thin white gauze. Although he couldn’t see her face clearly, it was not difficult to imagine how stunning she must be from the front with such an appearance.
Across her sat a man in black, drinking wine and admiring her dance.
There was a woman in red sitting next to the man, holding a pipa and playing it leisurely.
What Jian Xiuyun just heard was the sound of the pipa.
Since the distance was too far, Jian Xiuyun couldn’t see their faces clearly, but with such a figure and demeanor, he immediately recognized the man as Kan Wenxiao.
The song was about to end, and the woman in white danced faster and faster. As the pipa played, she fell into Kan Wenxiao’s arms like a piece of light snow.
Kan Wenxiao seemed to smile, then reached out to catch her and kissed her.
Jian Xiuyun turned his head suddenly, clenched the red plum blossoms in his hand and walked out.
He didn’t know when the umbrella in his hand fell.
That was good. Wasn’t this the original content of the book? After Kan Wenxiao unified the cultivation world, he would avenge his enemies and repay his injustices, and then he would have countless beauties and enjoy thousands of miles of land.
Everything before was just a matter of coveting the warmth he had given him.
But even the warmth was fake, so what else was worth cherishing?
There were two lifetimes of grudges between them, and they were master and disciple, so it was impossible.
But for some reason, Jian Xiuyun still felt a little sad.
It was like someone was gently scraping his body with a knife, slowly cutting away a part of him. It was not fatal, but a piece of him was lost.
Jian Xiuyun was in a trance. When he came to his senses, he had already returned to the door of the bedroom.
When someone from the palace saw that he was covered in snow, he came over and patted the snow off him.
Xiao Xi’er heard the sound and ran out. When she took the red plum blossoms from his hand, her hand brushed against his and she said in surprise, “Brother Immortal, your hands are so cold, why aren’t you holding an umbrella?”
As she said that, she put the plum blossoms on the table and warmed his hands with her own.
Jian Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly took his hand out and replied, “It’s alright.”
With that said, he walked into the inner room.
The charcoal fire in the room was burning vigorously, and the snow on Jian Xiuyun’s body quickly melted, the tips of his eyelashes glistening with crystal clear droplets.
Jian Xiuyun took the silk handkerchief handed by the palace attendant and slowly wiped off the droplets.
Xiao Xi’er looked at him worriedly and asked, “Brother Immortal, what is wrong with you?”
After hearing this, Jian Xiuyun seemed to have come back to his senses. The confusion in his eyes gradually receded and turned clear again.
He smiled, touched Xiao Xi’er’s head and said comfortingly, “It’s really alright. There was too much snow outside and I’m a bit cold.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xi’er immediately turned around and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Jian Xiuyun took it and drank slowly.
He had been caged by Kan Wenxiao for so long that he almost forgot his identity.
He was Jian Xiuyun, not some beautiful concubine in Kan Wenxiao’s harem. Whoever Kan Wenxiao favored and loved had nothing to do with him.
The situation was set, and he couldn’t change anything.
It would be good to survive this life just like this.
All he asked was that there would be no afterlife.
–
Jian Xiuyun was afraid that Xiao Xi’er would catch a cold and wouldn’t let her go out, but what he didn’t expect was that in the end, it was him who fell ill first.
As soon as he came back, the palace officials took him to change his robes and drink ginger tea, but when he got up the next day, he still caught a cold.
Jian Xiuyun was forced to stay in bed by Xiao Xi’er with a look of helplessness on her face, and was not allowed to get up.
He just felt sad.
His broken body really didn’t deserve to be called a cultivator of immortality.
But anyway, his only goal in the future was to eat and wait for death, so he was quite comfortable lying down.
On the other side.
Kan Wenxiao sat on the rosewood chair carved with dragon patterns, holding his forehead with one hand and looking quietly at an oil-paper umbrella on the table.
His thoughts went back to that day.
Jing Yunwan said that she had learned a new dance and wanted to show it to him.
Kan Wenxiao listened to Jing Yunwan, and went to Anxiang Pavilion that day to watch her dance in the snow.
Her dance was indeed stunning, but it was not enough to make him intoxicated.
Until he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
They had not seen each other since that incident.
That day Jian Xiuyun asked him what he liked about him. After returning home, he thought about it every day. He tried not to think about Jian Xiuyun, and numbed himself with wine to entangle with women, but he still couldn’t figure it out.
Until he saw Jian Xiuyun hiding behind the tree.
He seemed to suddenly understand.
There was only one person who could intoxicate him from beginning to end.
Even if it hurt him deeply.
Kan Wenxiao lowered his eyes, drank all the wine in his glass, and suppressed the urge to let go.
He suddenly wanted to bet on whether Jian Xiuyun was really so stone-hearted that Kan Wenxiao held no place in his heart.
When the song ended, Jing Yunwan danced into his arms shyly.
Kan Wenxiao caught her and kissed her on the corner of her lips, but his gaze was focused on the figure far away.
Then he saw Jian Xiuyun turn around and leave in a panic.
After his figure disappeared, Kan Wenxiao walked over and picked up the umbrella he dropped on the ground.
A chill spread along his fingertips.
Kan Wenxiao closed his eyes and remembered himself lying on Jian Xiuyun’s back. It seemed no matter how many years passed, he would always be the disappointing young man.
Just like what Jian Xiuyun said, if someone gave him a knife wrapped in candy wrapper, he would fool himself thinking it was sweet.
Kan Wenxiao sighed, slowly opened his eyes, and clutched the umbrella tightly, cursing himself in a low voice, “What a disappointment.”
Can I curse or swear wenxiao? Can I?
I think I’m kinda disappointed in him. First – liaoting matter, Second – having intimate relationship with bunch of beauties
I think I didn’t raise my child well 😭
Thank you for the update
