Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Lu Yun was pulled out of bed.

The watery moonlight illuminates this small ravine. A cool breeze floats in the air, and insects chirp.

Lu Yun felt the scorching heat coming from her fingertips, and her cheeks began to burn. The man in front of her suddenly stopped, and with a long arm, he embraced his beloved.

Under the black shadow, lingering emotions filled his seven orifices like a tide, and all was silent.

-

Lu Yun lowered her eyes and leaned her head on his shoulder. The man put his cloak on her and put his long arms on her waist, holding her firmly in his arms with a strong posture.

"Ayun, it's almost there."

Lu Yun raised her eyes to look at his profile. She saw his straight and handsome nose and his thin lips that shone with a soft luster. She spoke hesitantly, "Zhou Boli, I once doubted you."

The man tilted his head and held her hand tightly, his voice deep, "Ayun, when I first met you, I was just curious. Curious that there was such a wonderful woman like you in the world. Then, I don't know when it started, but I found that my feelings for you went far beyond curiosity. I admit that I approached you with a purpose at first, but not now. I like you. It has nothing to do with your fate, nor with what you can bring to me. You don't have to do anything, just stay by my side."

Don't leave without saying a word, like last time or this time, he can't stand it.

Lu Yun never thought that she would hear such warm and sincere words from an ancient person. He knew her concerns and what she was thinking.

Lu Yun held his hand in return, and the night could not hide the cunning on her face. She suddenly stood up and pushed him down on the grass, looking down at the man under her.

The man's throat slid up and down, his eyes becoming increasingly dark. "Ayun."

Lu Yun bent down, her black hair hanging down and piling up on the man's chest. She said threateningly, "Zhou Boli, keep your word! Otherwise--" while showing him her fist as big as a casserole.

At this moment, the starlight in the sky seemed to fall into the man's eyes

"Ayun, I will never break my promise."

The next day, when he returned home, the old man smiled and waved goodbye, "Ms. Jiang, come again next time."

Just as Lu Yun was about to nod, Zhou Boli responded, "Grandma, I'll come visit you with Ayun next time."

The old man nodded contentedly, "That's right."

On the way, he sent Jiao Song back to Jiao's house, declined the invitation of Mr. Jiao's family to stay for dinner, and the group returned to the mansion.

Tonghua was so happy to see her master coming back that she took the opportunity when her master went to wash up to put the posts she had received these days on the small table.

Lu Yun lazily sprawled on the couch, picking up the notes and flipping through them. There were four or five notes in total, most of which she didn't recognize. She flipped open a small note with a blue tassel. "Second Miss Jiao?"

Cai He paused while wiping her handkerchief, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Master, this must be Young Master Jiaosong's sister. The girl I met in the Pear Garden last time."

"So it's her." Lu Yun had a good impression of Jiao Ying. She looked at the date of the post and said with regret, "It's a pity that the time has passed."

Cai He smiled and said, "Master, if you are free, you can invite her to your house for tea."

Lu Yun's eyes lit up and said, "You're right." She took a pen and paper, wrote a few words, and gave them to Tonghua to send to Jiao Mansion.

"Alright, Master." Cai He put the handkerchief aside and helped her sit in front of the dressing table. "Master, why don't you wear the clothes of the Golden Tooth Clan that the princess made for you a few days ago?"

The so-called Golden Tooth tribe is the modern Dai people. South Vietnam is a multi-ethnic settlement, and Baizhi and Golden Tooth are the two most populous ethnic groups in South Vietnam.

The high-waisted tube skirt made of light blue gold-woven satin reaches the ankles, and the moon-white gold-woven narrow-sleeved, tight-fitting blouse with a slanting collar is embroidered with a circle of golden honeysuckle patterns along the collar.

A golden lotus-shaped chain about two inches wide was placed around the waist, with the excess hanging down at the side.

The hair is tied into a ring-shaped bun, and fresh flowers, ground-emerging golden lotus hairpins, bamboo shoot tower hairpins, etc. are pinned on the side, which is unique.

Lu Yun turned around in front of the dressing mirror. Perhaps it was because of the weather in South Vietnam, but compared to the layered, wide-sleeved Hanfu, Jinchi's ethnic costume was quite light and thin.

The extremely fitting dress outlines the woman's exquisite curves, making her look light and graceful.

Lu Yun raised her arms, and the short and narrow hem of her dress could not cover her fair waist, which was as thin as a hand and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Mothers Chen and Dong loved it very much and praised it repeatedly, "My Lady Princess, no one looks better in this dress than you."

Cai He blushed and pulled down the hem of her clothes. "Master, don't catch a cold."

Lu Yun smiled and pushed Cai He's hand away. She concentrated her energy into her dantian and lifted up a corner of her skirt, revealing her well-defined abdomen. "Look, my eight-pack abs."

What we mean is that the continuous practice from childhood to adulthood has taken shape at this moment.

Probably no woman can resist eight-pack abs. Even someone as reserved as Caihe couldn't help but touch them, and her face turned even redder after touching them.

Hahahaha, Lu Yun pinched her waist proudly.

From Heyue Pavilion to Mingde Courtyard, Lu Yun attracted a lot of attention along the way. She smiled and nodded to each of the servants who saluted her with dignity.

In Mingde Courtyard, Princess Gao sat leisurely at the top, listening to Yaochun's words with a smile on her face.

"My Lady, the Princess is here."

"Please come in." Princess Gao's blue-gray eyes looked towards the door. A slender but not frail figure appeared at the door. When she saw the clothes she was wearing, Princess Gao let out a low cry and sat up straight in her seat.

"Hey, no need to bow, come here and let me take a look."

Lu Yun did as she was told, stood in front of the empress with a smile, and let her look at her.

Princess Gao was extremely pleased. At first, she just looked at her with her eyes, but when she saw Lu Yun's exposed waist, she touched it and said with a sigh, "Oh my, your belly is incredible. Many young men don't have that. I heard Bo Li mention that you are very strong and have good kung fu skills. It seems to be true. Not bad, not bad."

Even though Lu Yun was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed and said modestly, "Your Majesty, I am too kind. I only know a little bit."

"How is my mother these days?" Princess Gao asked her to sit down, her expression sincere. "Thank you for visiting her. But next time you go out, please send someone back to let her know."

Lu Yun lowered her head in shame and said, "Grandma, everything is fine. I know I was wrong."

Princess Gao smiled and nodded. "It's normal for young people to be a little impulsive. You'll understand over time. Bo Li is superior to the prince in everything else."

Yao Chun personally served tea, "My Lady, this is tea from the Central Plains. Do you think it suits your taste?"

Lu Yun picked up the teacup and sniffed it carefully, her eyes slightly fixed. This tea was exactly the same as the one she had tasted at her eldest cousin's place. "Madam, where did you get this tea? It tastes really good."

"Oh, you like this. I have two more jars here. Take them both. I still prefer the high mountain tea of South Vietnam." Princess Gao gestured for Yaochun to get the tea. "Bo Li got it from outside. Old Zhou just said it was tea from the Central Plains. If you want to know, go back and ask Bo Li. He will definitely know."

Lu Yun seemed to be lost in thought. She chatted with the Empress for a while before getting up to say goodbye.
