Consort Overturning the World

Chapter 7 – The emperor’s golden house hides a beauty

When they returned to the palace, Li Si left first, ordering her to obediently stay with the maid, telling her over and over again about how he would make sure he came back to see her and make sure that she got home safely.

Saying this was simple. In the beginning, there was a maid she had for company to chat with, but what if the maid left?

Yan Xuan was restless to begin with, rocking the chair she was sitting on. After, she slowly made her way to the door, and, as if she were a thief, opened the door——

Yes, this moment was the best time to sneak away.

Sun doctor’s title wasn’t a joke. He twisted her foot a few times, then put on some medicine, and now she felt absolutely no pain.

Yan Xuan didn’t dare to slip into the kitchen’s area. At this moment, there were usually a lot of guards in there. She was think of taking this opportunity to go get some food, but she couldn’t even do that now. On the contrary, the parts of the palace she never saw before caught her interest.

She had wandered around the imperial palace for months now, and only at this time did she discover this part. How many secrets did this palace have? The palace was a little old fashioned, but it had it’s own charm, simple yet elegant. It was in the middle of a lake with a little bridge a the edge that wriggled a little, leading to a door. All around the lake there were pear trees, white petals gracefully drifting down into the lake. It really makes one feel as if they’re entering a fairy tale.

Weirdly coincidentally, she found herself to be at the bridge. When she came to her senses, her hand was on that strange door.

Push it open——

A second after she opened the door, Yan Xuan realized something.

The emperor had a concubine in this!!

The person on the couch propped her head up with her hand while lying sideways, embroidery dangled from her chest like splashed ink. She had a devastatingly beautiful complexion, as if the gods exhausted themselves to create her beauty. Perfect eyebrows, a lovely blush, and even her pale lips were more beautiful than peach flowers.

Yan Xuan couldn’t help but start to think, if this person opened their eyes, what would she look like?

Very pretty, so pretty it was unimaginable. Even if a female looked at her, they would blush. It was impossible to not envy her.

She crouched, studying the face carefully, however, the fact was it was that sort of thing where the more they looked, the more they felt it was worth another look, where the more they looked, the more they wanted to look, it could make people deeply fascinated.

She remembered, butler Tang once said, in his hometown there were flowers called poppies. They were very beautiful but could entrance people with the beauty, making people unable to free themselves.

It was possible that this person was the same.

She slowly got up, as if controlled. Yan Xuan watched her fingers brush her forehead, skin like snow, inching, making her heartbeat speed up.

…… Heavens, could it be that she was, like butler Tang said, gay?

She drew back her hand suddenly, as if she was a child who had done something bad, wanting to leave hastily. When she stood up, the claw of guilt grabbed her.

Immediately, the world started spinning around her, her back aching, and she found that her surroundings had changed drastically.

Also, the person that was pressing her down……

Unexpectedly, it was that beautiful woman from before?? Yan Xuan was ignorant, the woman was below her, this situation wasn’t very pleasant……

For the first time, the beauty’s eyes opened. It certainly wasn’t what she was expecting, they truly were extremely enchanting, bewitching eyes, like black jade frozen in forever lasting ice, dazzling. But, there was this faraway feeling, as if she were looking at flowers through fog.

The two were very close, their light breaths entwining, but she couldn’t feel any warmth, her whole body feeling as if it dropped into an ice cellar. The most unusual thing were those two phoenix eyes, intimidating her.
(T/N: Phoenix eyes as in almond shaped eyes, but phoenix eyes sounds cooler)

She firmly looked at herself, keeping silent. Yan Xuan swallowed some saliva, raising her hands. “I…… I am a female.”

The beauty didn’t speak, her hair falling onto the tip of Wang Liu Xuan’s nose, making her feel a little ticklish, but there was a pleasant smell.
(T/N: I’m not sure why they decided to change her name like that, but Wang Liu Xuan is just Yan Xuan)

“I really am a female, I don’t mean to disrespect you in any way…… I’m fully female, is there any need to be so careful? Hm?” She giggled foolishly, repeatedly stressing the fact that she was female.

The beauty lowered her eyes. Through her supple, black hair, there was a delicate and pretty little face, leading to a graceful, pale, white neck…… and her gaze stopped at her two little dumplings, and didn’t move for a long time.

Look, look, as long as you see whether I am a male or female, keeping those intentions, Yan Xuan straightened up, closing her eyes, accepting the beauty’s “inspection.”

The beauty finally opened up a dazzling smile, her pale lips moving slightly, “I am Yan Jing, you can see it yourself.”

Arghhhhh
