[R18] Imperial Master he is addicted to doting on his wife – Chapter 1 of “The Imperial Master He is Addicted to Doting on His Wife” [English]

Imperial Master and his wife

It’s spring again. Before dawn on the first day of the Lunar New Year, young and old men in the capital carry lanterns and rush to the palace gate in the cold wind. Things that can make everyone so positive on the first day of the Lunar New Year are the first incense from the Huguo Temple and the ashes from the incense burner of the Imperial Master.

The incense burner ashes are altar incense burner ashes. I can’t tell you how they are different from ordinary ones, but they are very useful. I have some evil spirits in my body that are causing trouble. I took medicine to see if the doctor doesn’t help. I just mixed the incense burner ashes with well water at noon and it was cured immediately.

This effect is astonishing. Many people hold incense burner ashes to study the difference. After some comparison, there is only one possibility: the incense used in the palace is more expensive.

However, this conjecture was soon overturned. A group of capable Jianghu people, relying on some skills, entered the altar to steal the incense burner ashes. The incense burner ashes were stolen, and even the incense burner was stolen. However, when the incense burner ashes got into their hands, they had no effect at all, which is puzzling.

The emperor wanted to send someone to arrest the group, but the Imperial Preceptor stopped him. The Imperial Preceptor did nothing. He only went to West Street to buy a new incense burner and put it in the altar. The ashes were still the same. Only the ashes distributed by the Imperial Preceptor on the first day of the first lunar month had miraculous effects. This became a strange thing in the capital.

Speaking of the national preceptor, this person is also strange. Ten years ago, the emperor posted a list to recruit strange people from all over the world to measure the national fortune. There were many capable people and strangers, and there were also many deceivers. The emperor set a one-year deadline and asked them to predict the national fortune this year.

At that time, this matter was as hotly debated as the triennial imperial examination. Various gambling stalls also started gambling. Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Ma Family, Lin Family, these famous Taoist priests were all on everyone’s betting list. The most popular one was Hui Dao Saint Monk, the presiding officer of Huguo Temple.

But no one expected that none of these famous masters would be on the list, and instead a young man would become a national master.

Which of the masters could be convinced by this result and asked the Holy One to announce the boy’s prediction.

In order to convince them, the emperor made public all the predictions. Unlike other people’s one or two sentences, the young man wrote ten pieces of paper, one by one, very clear and detailed, as if the young man had personally experienced it, and then everyone shut up.

After the results came out, everyone was not in a hurry to leave. They waited in the capital for the young man to come to the capital and invited him to visit him.

This game lasted for seven days. From then on, there was a Qingming faction in the world.

This faction is thin, with only two people left, one is the Imperial Master, and the other is the Imperial Master’s wife Qiu Ruanruan. No one knows any more information.

One thing that makes everyone very curious is that no one has seen the true face of the Imperial Master’s wife in the past ten years. The few times they see the Imperial Master walking with her, she always wears a curtain, making it difficult for people to see her true face. Over time, the rumors about the Imperial Master’s wife have been spread among the people, and no one knows whether they are true or false.

On the first day of this year, everyone went to the palace gate to collect the ashes of the incense burner as usual. However, unexpectedly, today, in addition to the prince, princess and other nobles, the wife of the Imperial Master, who usually lived in seclusion, was also here.

Qiu Ruanruan stood behind her husband-in-law, lowering her head and not looking where she was, until a carriage came over and the palace servant called: “The eldest princess is here!”

Qiu Ruanruan suddenly raised her head and looked over, and saw the palace servant lifting the curtain of the car and helping a beautiful woman down. Qiu Ruanruan lowered his head when he saw her face. She had an indescribable face, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was so bright that she was ashamed. It turned out that he liked such a woman.

Qiu Ruoran listened to the voices of them saluting her. She was a little at a loss and didn’t know what to do. She subconsciously tried to pull Mo Li’s sleeves, but unexpectedly it was empty. The man in front of her had already stepped forward to greet her, with a faint smile visible on his always cold and distant face.

Qiu Ruanruan was stunned for a while, feeling extremely sour in her heart. Her original intention to declare her sovereignty suddenly disappeared. In so many years, this was the first time she saw him so happy…

“Soft… Soft!”

“What…what happened?” Qiu Ruanruan came back to her senses and realized when they had walked in front of her.

“It’s nothing.” Li Li replied indifferently, turning to the eldest princess and explaining: “Ruan Ruan rarely sees new people and doesn’t know etiquette. Don’t blame the eldest princess.”

The eldest princess waved her hands nonchalantly and said, “Nothing.” Then she asked curiously, “Madam, why does the curtain stay with you?”

Qiu Ruannuan was about to answer, but was interrupted by Li Qiu: “It’s getting late, Princess, it’s time to start.”

“Indeed, we can’t keep the people waiting for too long.” The eldest princess said, the smile on her lips faded a little, and she turned around and ordered the palace people to start.

Qiu Ruanruan stood in the corner and couldn’t help but shed tears as she looked at the two people standing side by side. In fact, she knew very well that Li Qiu only regarded her as his sister from beginning to end, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed away from her for so many years.

Also, who would like her, a coffin girl, and she has a different face? If it weren’t for his father’s kindness, he wouldn’t marry her.

Qiu Ruanruan bit her lip, maybe she was a broom star, she has a horoscope of Taiyin, and she is also a coffin child. She is born with yin and yang eyes, and can easily attract evil things. With this special physique, if you leave he, you will probably die miserably.

Qiu Ruannuan frowned and thought for a long time, thinking that practicing monkhood would be the most suitable for her body type. She was thinking about where to become a monk. She didn’t consider the capital. She might as well go back to her hometown of Baishui An, where she could visit her parents’ graves during the holidays.

By the time they finished distributing the incense burners, the sky had turned white. Qiu Ruoruan saw them packing their things, so she hurriedly stood up and followed Mo Li silently.

Mo Li bowed to the nobles and walked towards the palace gate without looking back. He knew that Qiu Ruanruan would definitely be following behind him.

The attitude of the two people was confusing to everyone, but they saw the eldest princess quickly following them, and said to Mo Li, “I will also leave the palace and return to the princess’ mansion, and go with the imperial master.”

Li Li turned his head to look at her, nodded slightly, and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Qiu Ruanruan followed them silently, looking down at their blue and red clothes. The handkerchief in her hand had been pulled out of shape by her, and she couldn’t help but think to herself, what does this mean?She doesn’t look like his wife, not even a maid, more like a wandering spirit following him.

Listening to their jokes, Qiu Ruoruan’s heart became increasingly bitter. What they said along the way was probably worth what she and he said for half a month.

When he and she were together, he was as dull as a piece of wood. He didn’t say a word for a long time. Every time she mustered up the courage to talk to him, he mostly didn’t reply. I don’t know if her voice was too quiet or if he deliberately pretended not to hear.

The more she thought about Qiu Ruanruan, the more she felt that it was unnecessary for the two of them to continue to be entangled. The only thing that made her hesitate was her reluctance and the danger of leaving him.

These two reasons make her despise herself a little and feel that she is very selfish.

Qiu Ruoruan was immersed in her own thoughts and didn’t pay attention to what they said next. It wasn’t until she got on the carriage that she realized that the eldest princess had also gotten on their carriage.

Qiu Ruannuan lowered her head silently, and then heard the eldest princess ask: “Madam, didn’t you take off the curtain when you got into the carriage?”

Qiu Ruannuan shook her head quickly, but before she could speak, Mo Li answered: “My wife has something wrong with her face, I’m afraid she might scare the eldest princess.”
