Favored Crazy Consort: Ghost Emperor too Proud

This made her swallow again. “Shoot! I’ll become rich!” There were books, paintings, jade items, chinaware, weapons, gold ingots, silver ingots, and jewelry. It was a complete treasure-house! “Your old mother(4) doesn’t need to do anything and is already able to live several lifetimes! What else could I ask for? Could I run?” Zhuo QingYan’s eyes instantly began to twinkle a turned heart shaped. Her mouth mouth looked foolish and saliva quickly began to flow out. Now, she was in a beautiful mood and no longer worried about being found and what not. After covering the fine box, she put it in the bracelet’s compartments and looked back at the dark squares. After discovering that there was something else there, which looked like a painted scroll, she bit her lip. Still, she stretched out her hand to take hold of that thing. Sure enough, it was a painted scroll. When she spread out the scroll, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“As a matter of fact, isn’t this the landscape painting?” This time she spoke loud enough to cause Qiu mama and MoYu to straighten. The two came over and caught sight of the unfolded painting on the table became shocked.

MoYu pointing at the drawing said, “ Didn’t the master steal it? How…..”

“Right, that time this old servant saw with one’s own eyes master take this painting from the wall……” Qiu mama was also confused. And yet when the three looked carefully, Qiu mama stepped back and shook her head. “No, miss. As a matter of fact, this is not the original version that hung from the wall. This woman’s hand is holding a hairpin and the original one held a chrysanthemum!”

”Yes, yes, yes, Miss. This slave also remembers and also originally in the middle of the painting, above the bun on this woman’s head were three hairpins. However, this bun only has one……”, MoYu said.

“This is the original…..”, Zhuo Qingyan somewhat understood. At once, she began to roll back up the painting. She responded with a nod to the two servings. “Go get some food. I am a little hungry.”

“Yes, Miss…….” The two immediately turned around and left the room. Zhuo QingYan went forward to the dark space of compartments again to look around for a while and stretched out her hand to feel around in the dark and found nothing. Afterwards, she squatted down to touch the lower part of the desk. Indeed, she discovered there were small grids protruding.

She turned around to see that the shelves had went back in. Then, the original two rows of bookshelves once more extended out, standing side by side with the original shelves while fitting together perfectly. Right now, she must not admire the original owner’s mother was a master of strategy. She looked down over and over again, then finally took the painting and put it away into the bracelet’s storage. After that, she took the books on the table into her hands and left the room.

She locked the door, bypassed the screen, went up the stairs, and placed the books on the little table beside the bed. After descending the stairs again, Qiu mama has already made a few simple side dishes and congee. The three of them then ate together. After taking a few bites, she softly said, “I remember all through childhood having to take medicine. Is my body no good?”

Qiu mama heaved a sigh. “It’s not that Miss’ body is no good. Your mother gave you that which you eat. Miss’ foolishness was deliberately caused by the Third Concubine…..”

Zhuo QingYan listened with great alarm. “What? Why?”

“Because, safety!” Qiu mama nodded seriously to her. Zhuo qingYan instantly understood. At first, this was also one type of way for her daughter to protect her daughter. Too tragic.

(1) had a bit of an iffy time translating this one.

(2)King Kong=Jingang-金刚。Also, another term for Buddha’s warrior attendant.

(3)basically it means that even if a million people didn’t want it on, it would still stay.

(4)your old mother doesn’t mean your mother. Instead she’s calling herself that.

Congee can have lots of things in it, but I’m guessing that since not only were the side dishes simple, so was the congee. After all, MC isn’t favored.
