Immortal Cultivation Simulation, I'm Not a Bad Woman

"Xianxian, do you want to hear a story?"

Lu Zhiqiu suddenly leaned close to Xu Xianxian and pinched her face.

Of course she noticed Xu Xianxian's mood change.

But she also understood that no amount of persuasion would be of any use at this time. After all, some things could not be changed overnight or simply by force.

She had no choice but to use stories to distract Xu Xianxian's attention.

I heard Lu Zhiqiu was going to tell a story.

There was a rare glimmer of light in Xu Xianxian's eyes.

When she first lived with Lu Zhiqiu, she often pestered Lu Zhiqiu to tell her stories.

And Lu Zhiqiu always has endless stories to tell.

Lu Zhiqiu chuckled and began to search her mind for the novels she had read in her previous life.

Soon, she had an idea.

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to hear the sequel to Lu Zhijie's beating of Zhen Guanxi? Then let's continue our story of Water Margin today."

Soon, Xu Xianxian was immersed in Lu Zhiqiu's story.

The breeze rustled the leaves, casting light and shadows, like the sunset crushed by horse hooves.

……

Five days flew by.

at this time.

The two were already standing in front of the East Gate of the capital.

A middle-aged fat man with a kind face, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, came forward and saluted respectfully, saying:

"Miss, you are finally back. You must have had a very tiring journey."

"I have prepared food to welcome you and your friends."

Xu Xianxian had come out of her gloom these past few days. She took Lu Zhiqiu's hand and said with a smile:

"Let me introduce you. This is Butler Zhang, who manages all the affairs of my household."

"This is Lu Zhiqiu, my good friend. She is well-versed in the classics and has a sharp mind. Last time I went out, I was grateful for her care."

The middle-aged fat man greeted Lu Zhiqiu, and Lu Zhiqiu returned the greeting.

Although the fat man behaved normally.

But Lu Zhiqiu could still see that this guy had good cultivation and was a top-notch master in the martial arts world.

Follow this Butler Zhang.

The two of them got on the carriage and soon arrived at a large mansion.

Butler Zhang smiled and said:

"The master and his wife are going to the south to discuss business. If there is anything at home, please tell me, young lady."

Xu Xianxian nodded and said:

"sorry to bother you."

Then, she turned around and looked at Lu Zhiqiu, saying with a melancholy look:

"Alas, my parents are like this. They are often away from home for several months because of business. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Zhiqiu waved his hand.

But in her heart, she had already laughed out loud.

After all, the little princess and a group of palace masters working together to perform for her are treatments that not everyone can enjoy.

Although Xu Xianxian's acting is very poor and her eyes darted around when she lied, it was very unnatural.

But you also have to cooperate and pretend to believe it.

We can’t let people down, right?

then.

The two of them walked into the door.

The yard is huge.

Many maids were walking back and forth in the corridors, tending the flower gardens and wiping the doors and windows.

Some of the guards were cleaning the house, arranging vases, antique shelves and other items, and some were putting tiles on the roof.

It was obvious that they had tried very hard to disguise themselves as ordinary servants and maids.

but……

What servant would wipe the paper while cleaning the doors and windows? Aren't they afraid of tearing it?

The maid who was pruning the crabapple branches had the soft sword wrapped around her waist exposed. It was so bright that it didn't even dazzle people even in the sun.

And the one who puts tiles on the roof, you have picked up and put down a tile, put it down and picked it up again, eleven times already.

Lu Zhiqiu really wanted to laugh.

She even pinched her waist secretly, afraid that she would not be able to help laughing out loud.

Xu Xianxian also seemed to find the scene in front of her a little strange.

After two dry coughs, he asked everyone to leave.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left to continue working in other yards.

At least, no one in other yards paid attention to it.

They don't have to act so hard.

Lu Zhiqiu said softly:

"I didn't realize your house is quite big."

"Rice and land are expensive in the capital, and it's hard to live in a big house. Your family can support so many people. Your father's business must be very big, right?"

Xu Xianxian chuckled and said:

"Yeah, it's huge. It's definitely no problem to support one more person anyway."

"How about coming to my house and being my personal tutor? The salary is very high."

Lu Zhiqiu stroked his chin and suddenly said seriously:

"Okay, if you don't mind, I'll stay at your house and teach you every day."

This time it was Xu Xianxian's turn to be stunned.

She suddenly panicked, her eyes dodging, and after a moment of silence, she raised her head and said with a smile:

"Well... I'll discuss this with my parents when they come back."

"Okay, let's go eat. I've been traveling for a month and haven't had a proper meal. I'm starving."

Xu Xianxian pulled Lu Zhiqiu and walked towards the dining hall.

Lu Zhiqiu felt the warmth from his palm, but his heart could not calm down.

Sure enough there is a problem.

Before, if she asked to stay with Xu Xianxian, Xu Xianxian would be happy to roll around on the bed with her in his arms.

But now she was being vague.

What happened?

Considering that the Central Plains Poetry Festival, which was supposed to be held every ten years, has been restarted after a three-year hiatus, perhaps Xu Xianxian was also behind this...

Strange.

So weird.

Lu Zhiqiu had more and more doubts in his heart.

She unconsciously touched the Bai Er Qin Guan Sword on her back.

It is a tradition in this era for scholars to carry swords. After all, when traveling outside, even if you don’t know martial arts, it is good to be able to scare people.

She used this as an excuse to keep her sword with her.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, just come on, Lu Zhiqiu will take them on for Xu Xianxian.

After all, she came to Beijing for this very reason.

Chapter 45: You don't understand, this is called a share of money

night.

Lu Zhiqiu had already fallen asleep in the side room.

Xu Xianxian listened by the window for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Zhiqiu's breathing become even.

She quietly returned to the lobby.

After twisting a mechanism, a secret passage was revealed in the lobby, and Xu Xianxian flew in.

In the secret passage.

The fat official, guards, maids and others who had been seen during the day were now lined up here in an orderly manner, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Xu Xianxian looked around and smiled:

"Everyone did a great job. You didn't show up today. You are indeed the most elite royal secret guards."

Everyone felt a little proud when they received the praise from the little princess.

But Xu Xianxian changed the subject and said solemnly:

"However, there is still half a month until the New Year's Eve poetry gathering. Everyone must not let their guard down and must dress up to the utmost."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Everyone said yes.

Xu Xianxian nodded, but immediately realized something was wrong and quickly corrected himself:

"No, you must get used to calling me Miss, otherwise it's easy to call me the wrong name outside."

"Yes, miss!"

This time, Xu Xianxian was really satisfied.

She looked at the fat butler again and asked softly:

"Butler Zhang, how's the task I asked you to do going?"

Butler Zhang bowed and said:

"Your Excellency... Young Lady, the poetry gathering has been brought forward. All the necessary personnel have been arranged. With the support of your Majesty... Your Majesty, I have quickly compiled the rules and will personally oversee the event."

"Among the five great scholars who serve as judges, two are too aloof to be persuaded, but the remaining three have been bribed. If Miss Lu participates, she will definitely win."

Xu Xianxian stroked his chin and nodded with relief.

……

the next day.

Lu Zhiqiu was still asleep when he felt something pressing on him.

When she opened her eyes drowsily, she found that it was Xu Xianxian lying on top of her, hugging her like an octopus.
