Extra 8 Playing Chess Qu Ning sat across the chessboard, looking completely at ease. She had received instruction from a master, after all. The Eldest Maternal Grand-Uncle Liang scratched his head, his demeanor nothing like that of a prefectural prefect, racking his brains for how to counter Qu Ning's latest move. After arriving at the Liang Family Mansion, Lin Xizhao and Qu Sheng had settled into their own loving routine. At night, Qu Ning didn't stay with them. Back at the inn, it had been…-

The Empress Dowager Refuses Emperor Ming Cheng, gritting his teeth against the pain, ordered the guards who had rushed to his defense to stand down. He had only had a sudden flash of inspiration, wanting to take the opportunity to test Sun Yan's attitude. If Sun Yan tacitly accepted or even agreed, that would be fine; if she was unwilling, that was also fine. It was just a pity about his dislocated arm… Ah, the pain! He longed to call for the imperial physician! Sun Yan had laid hands on Emperor…-

The Empress Dowager Refuses While waiting for Yuanqian to fetch Sun Ergou from Ning'an Palace, Wan Bi asked the palace maid who was attending to her morning grooming, "Where is Yao Xi?" Having been awake for quite some time without catching sight of Yao Xi, Wan Bi felt a trace of unease in her heart. She had already checked the washroom in the eastern corner of her bedchamber; there was no one there, though Yao Xi's changed-out clothes were hanging inside. "Eunuch Yao left the palace with two others…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi had worked up a sweat wandering around outside the palace, so she busied herself with bathing and changing clothes the moment she returned. She even hummed a cheerful little tune while washing up in the washroom. The response at the teahouse today had been excellent. With word of mouth spreading, there’d surely be an even larger crowd tomorrow. She didn’t charge the teahouse owner a single copper for her storytelling, nor did she take any money from the…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Wan Bi held Yao Xi and talked with her for a bit longer when her stomach suddenly let out a loud croak. Those two pastries hadn't satisfied her at all; she was hungry again. Yao Xi thought she heard a frog. Looking around the main hall with an innocent smile, she said, "Did Your Highness hear that? It sounds like a frog from the back garden pond has hopped into the hall. It just let out a croak." Wan Bi shot Yao Xi a glare. Silly wench, you're the frog! Your whole…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Cao Yue went to the Directorate of Ceremonial with a dark face. The moment he arrived at Zheng Dayun's courtyard, he grabbed a little eunuch and demanded in a harsh tone, "Where is your Eunuch Zheng?" The little eunuch smiled knowingly. "Lord Cao, have you come this early to pick up Eunuch Zheng from his shift?" "Piss off!!! If you dare spout any more nonsense, this old man will tear your mouth apart!" Cao Yue was so furious he wanted to wash the Directorate of…

The Empress Dowager Refuses The next morning, Yao Xi woke up again while the sky was still a dim gray. She shifted her body, intending to get out of bed, only to find she couldn't move at all. "Don't move. Sleep a little longer," Wan Bi murmured with her eyes closed, her arms tightly encircling Yao Xi's waist, refusing to let her go. Yao Xi turned around with a smile and gently caressed the Empress Dowager's face. "Your Highness, please sleep. If I leave early, I can still make it back in time…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi saw that the time was almost up, so she stood and took her leave of the listeners. The shopkeeper came over to persuade her. "Why doesn't the young master have a meal in my shop? You can order whatever we have, anything you like." He was extremely reluctant to let Yao Xi leave. Once Yao Xi left, the patrons would disperse to their homes, and the teahouse would fall quiet and desolate once more. "Thank you for your kind offer, Boss. However, I promised my wife…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi knew the Empress Dowager must have questioned the eunuchs who accompanied her out of the palace, and mistakenly assumed she was projecting herself onto Wei Xiaobao in her storytelling. Her decision to tell 《The Deer and the Cauldron》 was entirely because she found the story amusing. Besides, she was already living in the imperial palace and had served as a eunuch herself, so speaking of the matters within those walls came second nature to her. As for the…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi had still not recovered from her shock. She recalled that day at Ning'an Palace, when the Empress Dowager had pointed at the roaring flames and asked with a smile if she had ever seen a fire so grand… In that moment, she genuinely felt as though she were Bao Si and Her Highness was King You of Zhou—the foolish sovereign who played with beacon fires to amuse his vassal lords. But that fire hadn't been set for her, after all. Yet this endless street stretching…
