Chapter 16.1
Apparently, Wen Liang was taken aback by Wen Chi’s address and was silent for a while before he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: “How have you been lately?”
Wen Chi said calmly, “Not well at all.”
Wen Chi: “…”1It should be Wen Liang, idk why the author put Wen Chi
Maybe because Wen Chi said the words too bluntly, not giving Wen Liang the slightest opportunity to answer, so that Wen Liang was speechless.
But Wen Chi didn’t mean to stop there and he didn’t know if it was because his state of mind was not good, anyway, every time he saw Wen Liang, he could not help but blame Wen Liang – if it wasn’t for Wen Liang and that broken system making trouble in the middle, he wouldn’t be living on thin ice in the east palace now.
Although Wen Chi knows very well that this is necessary for the plot, he still feels annoyed.
As long as he doesn’t see Wen Liang, it’s fine, but when he sees Wen Liang, he can’t help but want to slap him.
“Wen Liang, you should have heard about the temper of His Royal Highness. I’m serving by His Royal Highness’s side, isn’t it easy to guess if I am having a good or bad time?”
Wen Liang’s face turned pale again after hearing this. Once again, crystal tears poured out of his eyes again, he tried hard not to let himself cry but whimpered softly: “I’m sorry brother, it’s my brother’s fault. It’s all my brother’s powerlessness and not being able to protect even my own brother …… “
Wen Chi was tired of hearing such words and turned to say: “Actually, serving His Royal Highness is secondary and the most important thing is that people in the East Palace, including His Royal Highness, do not know my true identity. Once it is revealed that I am Wen Chi, not only me, but the entire Wen family will be involved.”
“How could…” Wen Liang was startled for a moment and hurriedly said, “Brother, the identity of you and I are of vital importance. We must not let others know about the exchange of identities, or else when it comes to parents and the Wen family ……”
Wen Chi sat down on the stool, one arm resting on the edge of the table, squinted at the face full of fear and anxiety Wen Liang, laughing: “Brother, how can you say that? Letting us exchange identities is a decision made by my father and my aunt2大娘 [dà niánɡ] Wen Chi address WL’s mother as aunt or as a respectful salutation for an elderly lady and not mother as per rules. If this matter is really exposed, it should be they who implicated us, and how can we implicate them?”
Wen Liang stared blankly at Wen Chi’s indifferent face and gradually understood something: “Brother, you still hate us.”
Wen Chi thought that the protagonist was a little self-aware and he said with a smile, “I’m not a saint, without any joys or sorrows.”
“I’m sorry.” Tears once again rolled down from Wen Liang’s eyes and his face was full of deep apology. He half-knelt on the ground, close to Wen Chi and gently grabbed Wen Chi’s hand on his lap, “I’m really sorry.”
But in the blink of an eye, Wen Liang was choked up again.
Wen Chi lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Liang’s beautiful eyes wet with tears, as well as his fragile and beautiful face when he cried. He could feel that Wen Liang was sincerely ashamed as he did last time but unfortunately it was useless. He secretly sighed and helped Wen Liang up: “Forget it, things have come to this, there is nothing you and I can do to change anything.”
Wen Liang choked and said, “Younger brother, Elder brother owes you one, when you need me in the future, brother will definitely help you.”
Wen Chi said: “I’ll write it down, don’t go back on your words.”
Wen Liang was forgiven and broke into a smile: “Brother will do what he says.”
Today Wen Liang is wearing a white robe, and the light blue belt outlines the delicate waistline, but also increasingly set off his skin is better than snow, as if a peony flower blooming in the sun, even Wen Chi also had to sigh, this protagonist was really born with a good look, no wonder in the peach blossom banquet he hit the heart of the fourth prince, Shi Jin.
Wen Liang’s collar is loose and he can see his beautifully shaped neckline, as well as a thin red string above it.
On the red rope is a colored stone the size of a fingernail. The shape of the stone is very irregular, but it has a strange aesthetic feeling. Maybe because of the gentle half kneeling action just now which exposes the stone originally hidden in the collar.
Wen Chi’s eyes were instantly attracted to the stone.
This stone…
It should be Wen Liang’s golden finger, the stone that summoned the system.
Before Wen Chi’s gaze could retrieve his gaze, Wen Liang noticed it. Wen Liang lowered his head blankly and followed Wen Chi’s gaze to look at his neck. When he saw the exposed stone, he panicked.
Wen Liang hurriedly tucked the stone back into his collar, his pale face was filled with an expression of guilt that could not be concealed. He looked up to find Wen Chi looking at him with a complicated expression and smiled: “This is just a stone I picked up randomly, I thought it looked good, so I ordered the craftsman to polish it, put on a rope and hang it on my body, making my brother laugh.”
Wen Chi shook his head, thoughtfully.
Wen Liang seemed to be afraid of Wen Chi asking more and quickly changed the subject.
However, apart from the East Palace and His Royal Highness, the topic between them was the upcoming peach blossom banquet. Wen Liang did not dare to mention East Palace and His Royal Highness the Prince again, for fear of poking Wen Chi’s sore spot, so he talked about the peach blossom banquet again.
“In a few days, the eldest princess will hold the peach blossom banquet. At that time, all the young masters and young ladies will go and even we can go.” Speaking of the peach blossom banquet, Wen Liang’s eyes were full of longing and yearning, as if he saw the dawn of a happy life, he suddenly remembered something and said to Wen Chi, “Now that His Highness the Prince loves you so much, he will definitely take you to the peach blossom banquet.”
Wen Chi looked at Wen Liang’s innocent and rosy smile and laughed, “How do you know that His Highness loves me?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince couldn’t even rest assured when you went back home and sent several eunuchs to escort you back, what is this if not favor?” Wen Liang said rightfully.
With such a big battle today, even the people outside are discussing it and increasing the prestige of the Wen Residence once again.
