After the guards and Song Qing had been directed away by the princess, Xiao Xiye entered Shaohua Pavilion. He was not in a haste, instead, it was like taking a stroll in a park, looking around.
“Compared to other places in the mansion, this garden is shabby. Isn’t Xuanxiao very fond of this Yin Fei? How can he give him such a garden, tsk.
“Tsk, just a few plum blossoms. The garden is indeed covert though. Lady Yin*, oh Xuanxiao, how deep do you want to hide this Yin Fei?”
Suddenly, Xiao Xiye stopped behind a plum blossom.
He saw a person perched on the tall well, a leg dangling, a hand holding a bell necklace of the likes. The person held it under the moonlight, shook it, then held it close to his ear, listening to jingle.
“So this is Lady Yin.”
Xiao Xiye could only see Shen Yu’s back. His white clothes shone silver in the moonlight, black hair cascading down his back, fluttering in the wind. His figure was willowy, even though he did not have a woman’s elegance, he gave off an eccentric sense of grace.
Xiao Xiye could not help but inspect his whole body. He found that he was not wearing any socks or shoes, his delicate foot swinging playfully. It was as if he was about to blend into the moonlight. When the wind blew, his hair and the hem of his clothes swayed together, and it seemed like he would be blown away any moment.
“A fairy.” Is what he is, Xiao Xiye thought.
Xiao Xiye had countless concubines, all kinds of beauty and glamour. Of course, no men, he did not like men.
But this person before him, even though Xiao Xiye knew he was a man, he could not help but be curious, of what this man looked like.
“Aye…”
Xiao Xiye guessed that he probably wanted to sigh, but because he was mute, he could only breathe out deeply. It was thanks to Shaohua Pavilion’s peace and serenity and Xiao Xiye’s good hearing that he could hear it. He walked closer, they were just two feet apart.
Looking again at the person in the moonlight, the person tilted his head, held the object up, and stared at the Linglong Die with mixed feelings.
Xiao Xiye finally saw his face. At that moment, Xiao Xiye almost felt the wind cease.
The person’s skin was so white it was translucent. His refined nose left a shadow above his red lips, parted slightly, small but full. His eyes were the finishing touch, not another pair of eyes could be found in this world more affectionate than these. The way he gazed at the Linglong Die was so tender and affectionate.
Especially that smile, it could thaw glacials.
This person was not only a fairy that descended from the moon (Guang Han Gong)*
but also a soul-bewitching snow demon*.
Xiao Xiye was suddenly jealous of ZhenBei Wang. If that person looked at him that way, he would be willing to make him his concubine. For him, he would go against everything he believed in. Xiao Xiye wanted to get closer to him, even if he does not snatch him away, he still wanted to admire him up close.
The thought burned brighter and brighter in his head. Xiao Xiye could not resist anymore, he walked towards him.
Shen Yu heard Song Qing’s footsteps when he left, and thought it was ZhenBei Wang. He clutched the Linglong Die excitedly and ran out to welcome ZhenBei Wang.
But he was wrong. He sat back on the well dejectedly and sighed. Then he thought of ZhenBei Wang’s face when he gave him his gift, would he be happy? His joy spread across his face.
After waiting for ZhenBei Wang for a while, he felt cold and noticed that he wasn’t wearing shoes. Right as he was going back, he heard footsteps.
A person radiating the air of nobility walked up to him.
Guang Han Gong* is from a folktale. It’s on the moon where Chang E lives with her Yu rabbit.
Soul-bewitching snow demon* I’m not too sure if this is also from a folktale, but there is one called Froslass (Yuki-onna) that originated from Japan.
