Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard

Chapter 73.4 – One Dance Shocks the World (4)

Du Xiao Li picked up the wine pot and filled the cup in front of everyone full of wine. Afterwards, she placed down

the wine pot and lifted the wine cup, “This is the first time the four of us have gathered since the mid-autumn six

years ago in Du village. Come, let’s celebrate!”

“Alright, cheers!”

Du Xiao Li’s words instantly brought the four into their memories of that year. The memories of that time were all

fresh in each of their minds.

After everyone finished drinking the wine in their cup, Du Xiao Li poured them all another cup, “Seeing that you all

didn’t eat much tonight, you all are probably still hungry, right? Xia Yuan’s cooking is very good, try some.”

“En, speaking of which, I really am still hungry.” Du Xiu Heng rubbed his own stomach and said.

Luo Qi also wasn’t full, then recalling Du Xiao Li’s eating appearance at the banquet, he said, “Probably only you

alone can still eat that carefreely in that kind of setting.”

“Of course I need to fill my stomach first when hungry.” Du Xiao Li said, “If I have no energy, how can I watch the

performances?”

“Hahahahaha!” Du Xiao Li’s somewhat mischievous words put everyone in an endlessly cheerful mood, each and

every one all began laughing to their heart’s content.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never seen younger sister dance in the past before. That dance of yours can be said to be

perfection!” Du Xiu Heng recalled Du Xiao Li’s dance and praised.

“En, indeed very shocking.” Luo Qi echoed.

“None of you ever asked me before.” Du Xiao Li said, “Oh that’s right, that Yu Sword Pavilion, I’ve heard of before,

but what sect is that Moon Water Paradise? Could it be that it means living on top the water?”

“Keke—-”

Du Xiao Li’s words made Luo Qi and Han Ming Yi almost choke on their wine. Luo Qi helplessly looked to Du

Xiao Li and said, “I’d once given you some information on the pugilistic world, you didn’t look at any of it?”

“Ah?!” Du Xiao Li tried her best to recall and then smilingly looked to Luo Qi, “That uh, at that time, it just

happened to be when the tangerine orchard was the busiest. I’d put it aside, and then forgot about. Hehe…….”

“You ah, when planting tangerines, you can forget anything!” That year after Luo Qi left, he would still return to Du

village from time to time to stay for a period of time. He can also be said to have watched Du Xiao Li walk this far,

and towards her personality, he naturally very much understood. No wonder she’d always been blank on the matter

of pugilistic world. Turns out, the material he gave her, she simply just didn’t look over.

“This Moon Water Paradise, for the most part, have female disciples, and use musical instruments as weapons.

Although the sect isn’t big, they are involved with quite a few powerhouses. Because their disciples are all very

outstanding, the people they marry naturally aren’t ordinary either.” Han Ming Yi explained.

“With instruments as weapons? That’s sound attacks?” When Du Xiao Li heard this, for some reason, she felt she

was going to be linked in many ways with this sect.

“Yes.” Luo Qi said, “Someone has suspected that the book ‘Wind Blowing Snow’ that everyone in the wulin has

chased after at the time had precisely came from Moon Water Paradise. But afterwards, they discovered that

although they also knew sound attack, yet not a single person knew ‘Wind Blowing Snow’.”

“This ‘Wind Blowing Snow’ has always been honored as the highest of the sound attacks. Just don’t know exactly

who it was created by.” Han Ming Yi had also once sent people to search for the secret technique book, but

afterwards, he gradually gave up.

Du Xiao Li silently drank her wine. Why did she always feel this Wind Blowing Snow and Moon Water Paradise

were connected? However, whether or not this feeling was correct, she didn’t have an answer right now.

In a certain alley in the capital, a man and a woman’s figure landed one after the other.

“Li Shang greets Shu Qing Fairy.” The man bowed towards the woman who had her back to him. When he lifted his

head, it was precisely the teacher from Du Xiao Li’s school, Feng Li Shang.

Shui Qing Fairy turned around and looked to Feng Li Shang, asking: “Did you get any results?”

“Li Shang is useless, still haven’t gotten any results yet. I only know that the capital’s Feng Xue Lou is perhaps

connected to her.” Feng Li Shang replied.

“It’s already been this many years, you still haven’t gotten any information?” Shui Qing Fairy somewhat

disappointedly said, “Right now, it’s getting increasingly closer to the deadline, if you still can’t find it, then it’ll be

troubling…….”

“Li Shang deserves death!” Feng Li Shang knelt down on one knee and said, blaming himself.

“Get up. The tower has spent this many years and still haven’t found it. Don’t know if someone has really mastered

it or not. For now, we can only hope for a miracle to appear.” Shui Qing Fairy said, “I’ll have to leave very soon.

You continue to investigate here. Since Feng Xue Lou might have clues, then follow down this line.”

“Yes.” Feng Li Shang accept the order.

“You also be careful yourself.” Shui Qing Fairy finished saying and leapt into the night, disappearing from the

alleyway like a phantom.

After Shui Qing Fairy left, Feng Li Shang also slowly walked out of the alley.

In Jade Bamboo Courtyard.

Because Du Xiu Heng had class the next day, about drank halfway into the night, he was told to go back to rest by

Du Xiao Li. After Du Xiu Heng left, the remaining three had the location shifted from inside the room to the

veranda. Looking up was a bright moon, and looking down was a gleaming crystal brook. Then, paired with fine

grape wine, no need for words, yet it already made one intoxicated. Luo Qi and Han Ming Yi although found one

another somewhat unpleasant to the eyes, but under this kind of moonlit night, the two were also intoxicated.

(T/N: Author was probably drunk here too cuz the grammar was so broken that I thought I was the drunk one. I’m

not exactly sure what she’s trying to say in certain parts so I just translated it as is…..I’ll try to decode it later when

I’m headaching less orz)

This night, Du Xiao Li and them drank until very late into the night, and chatted until very late, that’s why the next

day, after Du Xiao Li got up, she faintly felt her head slightly aching. Fortunately, Xia Yuan and them had long

prepared hungover soup for her.

Du Xiao Li looked to the soup Xia Yuan carried in and smiled. She never thought that she would also have a time

where she’d drink until this drunk.

“Miss, there’s someone looking for you outside.” Qiao Zhu, after entering, said to Du Xiao Li who was still washing

up.

“Crap! I forgot such an important matter!” Du Xiao Li finally recalled that she had to take the Grand Empress

Dowager and Meng Old Madam to the estate today, “Quickly make preparations, we have to go stay at the estate for

a few days.”

“Didn’t we just come back? How come we’re going to the estate again?” Qiao Zhu curiously asked.

“Right now, there’s no time to explain to you all. You all have to move quickly.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Then are you going to take Silver and Gold?” Ying Ge asked.

“Not taking.”

“Understood.”

Using the fastest speed possible, they finished packing, and then directly headed towards the door. Right now, she

didn’t need to go inform Du Yun Han either. If her guess is correct, he should be waiting at the entrance for her right

now!

As expected, when she arrived at the entrance, she immediately saw Du Yun Han standing in front of the horse

carriage, gazing towards the house the whole time, seemingly pondering why she still haven’t come out yet.

“Father.” After Du Xiao Li went out, she shouted towards Du Yun Han. As soon as she lifted her head, she saw Han

Ming Yi’s smiling eyes.

“When you go over, you need to carefully attend to them.” Du Yun Han reminded.

“I know.” Du Xiao Li nodded her head. As she was preparing to get on the horse carriage Du Yun Han prepared for

her, she heard Ming Jiang Zhuo’s voice coming from the horse carriage in the very front, and then a small head

stuck out from the horse carriage, “Xiao Li, get on this one.”

“Big sister Jiang Zhuo, how come you didn’t go to class?” Du Xiao Li asked as she got on, and as soon as she

entered, she saw the person in the horse carriage, “Greetings Grand…..”

“Shhhh—–” The Grand Empress Dowager made a shushing gesture at Du Xiao Li, indicating for her to not salute.

“I have to accompany grandmother to your estate, thus I’m following along.” Meng Jiang Zhuo said.

Han Ming Yi rode on horseback, and with a wave of his hand, the horse carriage began moving along. Xia Yuan and

them caught up to Du Xiao Li’s horse carriage and followed them out of the cirt together.

Because the horse carriage was very big, only Meng Gu accompanied Grand Empress Dowager. Additionally, there

was also Meng Old Madam, Meng Jiang Zhuo, and Du Xiao Li inside. The other servant girls were all riding in the

horse carriage behind them. On the way to the estate, Meng Old Madam asked quite a few things regarding the

estate, and Du Xiao Li answered the all one by one. However, majority of the time, it was mostly Meng Jiang Zhuo

talking, because as soon as Du Xiao Li’s estate was mentioned, she would just get excited. She would always begin

talking non-stop before Du Xiao Li could even open her mouth.

Hearing her words, even Du Xiao Li felt her estate really was that great, just why didn’t she herself notice?
