The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 167 Clouds and Mist

After having lunch together, the two girls naturally joined the group.

Several people sat in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting casually.

After learning about Lin Yan and the others' identities, Chen Qianqian was quite surprised that the whole family of siblings were from Luocheng. Xia Mingwei, on the other hand, ignored them even more, basically only talking to Zhao Yunqing.

Chen Qianqian just ate in silence, occasionally saying a word or two, or being led around by Xia Mingwei under various pretexts.

Lin Yan was speechless. It couldn't be said that the person was impolite, after all, they didn't say anything offensive, they were just ignoring you, um... ignoring you.

Fan Yizhou looked at the stone railing on the distant cliff and suddenly said, "If it is springtime, or when there is a lot of fog, you can see clouds rising and colorful clouds gathering here. At that time, looking out from the railing, you can see white clouds rising and colorful clouds gathering, just like a sea of ​​clouds."

Lin Yu listened intently, filled with anticipation for this spectacular sight. "Wow! If we come early tomorrow morning, will we be able to see it? The fog will be quite thick in the morning!"

Fan Yizhou shook his head: "Not necessarily. This phenomenon is more common in spring and winter. It can also happen in summer, but less often, and it depends on luck."

Quan Wenxue showed some interest: "The clouds and mist are so beautiful. I've never seen it before. When I was a child, the most I ever went to was the White Horse Temple. I've never been to the top of a mountain."

Quan Sinian looked at his younger sister and said, "We were young when we left Luocheng, and when we came back later, we didn't have much time to travel around, so I haven't seen it either."

Zhao Yunqing shook his fan and smiled: "Everyone wants to see it? Then I'll have someone keep watch in the temple. If there are any clouds or mist, they can notify us to come over."

Fan Yizhou smiled and said to him, "I'm afraid that won't work. The cloud formations are only for a short while. If we wait for someone to inform us, we'll miss it by the time we get there and back. If you want to see it, you'll have to stay at the temple and keep watch here."

Fu Bo said regretfully, "That's definitely not possible. We still have to attend the wine tasting event, that's the important thing. We can't stay here every day."

Lin Yan said, "Spectacular sights are something you can only encounter by chance. We didn't come here for them, so we won't regret not seeing them since we didn't pay any price."

"If Your Highness wishes to see it, you can come to Luoyang this winter," Xia Mingwei said gently, her bright eyes fixed on Zhao Yunqing.

“Yes, yes! You should come back in spring or winter, then you can have it almost every day.” Chen Qianqian muttered as she ate a pastry, her mouth stuffed full.

Lin Yan glanced at her several times. This girl ate very little at regular meals, but she ate quite a lot of pastries. Was she trying to lose weight or not?

Zhao Yunqing was smiling slightly and looking relaxed, but her lips stiffened when she heard Xia Mingwei's voice.

Fan Yizhou raised an eyebrow, pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Lin Yan saw Fan Yizhou trying to suppress a laugh, then looked at Quan Wenxue who was gazing into the distance as if she hadn't heard anything. Turning her head, she saw Zhao Yuncheng drinking tea with a blank expression.

"Hey……"

These two were calling me "Young Master" just now, at least they were being discreet. But after just one meal, they've suddenly become "Prince," their intentions are completely exposed.

Isn't this clearly aimed at him?

Zhao Yunqing paused for a moment, then said, "No need. I don't always have time."

Xia Mingwei's attempt to be friendly was not accepted, but she was not angry. She simply smiled faintly and said:

"The magnificent cloud formations are a spectacular sight; once witnessed, they become unforgettable. Heaven has created brocade, and the earth is covered with velvet; why should we envy the Jade Palace? Leaning on the railing, we can be intoxicated by the vibrant colors, and send our loyal hearts to the evening breeze."

Xia Mingwei softly recited a line of poetry, and Lin Yan nodded in agreement, indeed able to imagine such a scene.

Xia Mingwei then smiled and said, "I've heard that Your Highness is also skilled in poetry."

Zhao Yunqing nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, I often compose poems when I go to Xiaoyao Tower."

"Uh……"

Xia Mingwei seemed taken aback by his words, somewhat stunned. After all, you're a prince; how can you so casually mention going to brothels?!

"What is Xiaoyao Tower? Is it fun there?" Chen Qianqian asked.

"Pfft." Fan Yizhou burst out laughing.

Xia Mingwei felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain the situation.

Lin Yan was also stunned, looking at Zhao Yunqing as if he were an idiot. So ruthless? Couldn't you be a little smarter? Killing five hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own?

"Miss Chen, have this phoenix pastry, it's delicious!" Lin Yan said, pointing to a plate of pastries, and told the child to go play somewhere else.

Zhao Yuncheng glanced at Zhao Yunqing speechlessly, his face full of admiration.

Quan Sinian sensed the awkward atmosphere and secretly glanced at his younger sister, paying attention to her condition.

Quan Wenxue's expression remained unchanged, but after a while, she suddenly stood up and said to Lin Yan, "Yan, let's go over there and take a look. There are lots of peonies there!"

"Oh, okay." Lin Yan stood up and followed.

After the two left, Zhao Yuncheng looked at Zhao Yunqing and said softly, "I admire you. You are very determined, but you are a little lacking in brains."

"Who said the prince has no brains? They just have them somewhere else on his head," Fan Yizhou laughed.

Quan Sinian didn't dare to speak, silently drinking his tea. Lin Yu wasn't interested, watching Lin Yan and Quan Wenxue leave, his eyes downcast, lost in thought.

Xia Mingwei keenly sensed something strange, but couldn't pinpoint its source, so she simply continued the conversation.

Zhao Yuncheng pulled Zhao Yunqing up with a cold face, "I have something to tell you."

Although Xia Mingwei had grown closer to Zhao Yunqing, she kept her distance from Zhao Yuncheng, feeling a chill whenever she saw this cold-faced man.

Fan Yizhou raised an eyebrow, watched the two leave, and smiled at Xia Mingwei and Chen Qianqian: "Have some tea! Have some tea! Let's have some tea!"

"If you have any ideas, go and explain them to someone," Zhao Yuncheng said to him as he walked a little further away from Zhao Yunqing.

Zhao Yunqing remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "Today, we are princes and nobles respected by everyone outside, but once we return to the palace, we are gamblers whose lives are hanging by a thread. Who knows if the situation will change tomorrow, or if we will become stepping stones for some of our brothers? If we can't even save our lives, what kind of friendship can we talk about?"

Zhao Yuncheng nodded slightly, his tone somewhat sarcastic: "Or perhaps you're thinking that the position next to you is reserved for mutual exploitation rather than genuine affection."

Zhao Yunqing's expression was unusually cold. "That's right."

"Since you've made up your mind, then you shouldn't show any reaction. It's best to treat everyone equally, otherwise you'll just be causing trouble for others." Zhao Yuncheng's expression also turned cold, and his words were ruthless.

Zhao Yunqing lowered his eyes and remained silent. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak.

Zhao Yuncheng gave him a deep look, then turned and left.

He took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked at the peony bushes to the side.

With a knowing smile playing on his lips, he leisurely strode away.
