Translating Sloth

“Lord, this is where women stay!” With the alarmed voice of the ship’s captain, Zhao Jin Yu’s door was pushed open, Su Qing Chen calmly appeared at the doorway, behind him followed the ship’s captain dripping in sweat due to anxiety. Zhao Jin Yu was startled, she quickly dredged up the stone from the cup, hiding it in her sleeve. Su Qing Chen swept his eyes over the room, noticing Zhao Jin Yu’s sharp-sighted and deft movement of hiding the stone like thing in her sleeve, his gaze became somewhat enigmatic. The ship’s captain rushed to apologise repeatedly, saying, “Lady Zhao, this is the left commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards Lord Su, because the official ship has broken down, they rented our ship…, no need to be scared.” Even though the ship’s captain said such words he was still muttering in his mind, Su Qing Chen is indeed a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, his powers can summon soldiers from barracks as he wishes, nearby there is a navy, why didn’t...

Three days later. Zhao Jin Yu was seasick, the first day she had happily explored everywhere, even going up on deck to watch the riverside scenery, but by noon she started feeling dizzy, retching from her stomach, soon after she continuously threw up, unable to eat, just lying in bed. A knock was heard outside the door, “Lady Zhao, I’ve bought you medicine.” Zhao Jin Yu felt very surprised, saying, “Auntie Chen, come in.” Chen Rong carried a small porcelain bowl in her hand, a black and thick medicine in the bowl, emitting a strong traditional medicine smell, smelling it Zhao Jin Yu’s stomach once again overturned, she couldn’t help but retch again. Chen Rong somewhat worriedly said, “Even if it smells unpleasant you still have to drink it, otherwise it’ll be even worse” Zhao Jin Yu also understood this reason, waiting until her mood settled somewhat, she used a clean handkerchief to wipe her mouth preparing to hold the medicine bowl, again that smell of tradi...

The sky gradually brightened, the clouds stained red by the morning sun slowly dispersed, very soon it became a cloudless clear sky for thousands of miles, vast clearness, boundless water, clearing people’s minds wide open, Zhao Jin Yu took a deep breath, it was cold, but the air she breathed into her chest was fresh and crisp, washing clean all the turbulence, carefree and relaxed she thought this was a new start right? “Stone, why are you still not asleep?” Zhao Jin Yu knew the stone couldn’t appear in its body during the day, now it still stubbornly struggled to remain awake, very worried about his body, gently stroking its badly damaged corner, feeling slightly guilty she said, “Relax, from now on I’ll always carry you on me, look at this bag, I will put you inside, then tied to my body.” Zhao Jin Yu took a small red silk bag pointing it for the stone. The emperor saw the silk bag was a somewhat old pale yellow, involuntarily recalling the undergarments she wore a few day...

While fast asleep Zhao Jin Yu felt a scorching stare, like a spearhead at her back, she instinctively opened her eyes, immediately seeing the stone standing right in front of her face, with an arrogance she was used to as it looked at her, the stone did not have eyes, and did not have legs, but why did she feel the stone was watching her…, in truth it was only a kind of feeling, the stone’s surface gave off a glossy lustre, extremely spiritual, clearly it was already awake, and directly facing her like this, the same way it used to watch her. “Little thing, you’re awake.” A pleasant surprise flashed through Zhao Jin Yu’s eyes, she couldn’t help grab it and place it against her lips kissing it quite a few times, “I finally found you.” Her unimaginably soft lips touched his skin, bringing about an indescribably familiar fragrance, a feeling light as a feather as if someone was lying on a cloud, the emperor’s originally prepared malicious words stuck in his throat unable to speak ...

“Why is it filled with so much mud?” Zhao Jin Yu only felt her heart pound, almost impatiently asking. That man seeing Zhao Jin Yu worked up like this, was ever more cheerful, thinking at first glance this was a young lady kept at home without having seen the world, she’ll believe whatever he said…, right from the start she started caring for his stone, a truly soft heart, immediately he turned his head to look at Chen Rong scared of the consequences, seeing her expressionless face, without showing any objections, his courage grew even more, thinking perhaps this was a hired armed escort, so long as her employer insists, the armed escort won’t pay attention to her employer’s personal matters, he said, “Young lady don’t you know, this stone doesn’t only just talk, it can also bounce, if I didn’t fill the inside with mud, it would incessantly thud inside.” Zhao Jin Yu did not think of this reason, she couldn’t help think of the stone’s fussy manner every time it bathed, his lov...

Rui Fu felt a burst of unease in his heart, unconsciously he opened his eyes, tossing and turning on his bed he couldn’t sleep, he just got up and put on his clothes, the young eunuch guarding outside Tong Hai was just dozing off, seeing Rui Fu up and about he jumped in fright, he busily stood straight saying, “Why are you up?” “Xiao Hai ah, how can you sneakily sleep like this, certainly like raising a pig.” Rui Fu hmphed, reaching out to pinch Xiao Hai’s chubby cheeks, “Your adoptive father me body has been weak recently, should I stew you to supplement myself?” Tong Hai laughed hehe, puffing out his cheeks he said, “Adoptive father, do you want to eat now? So long as you say it I will go to the meal room right away, quickly take off my clothes and allow the chef to stew me.” “Little brat, getting more and more brazen!” Rui Fu looked at Tong Hai’s shameless manner, he couldn’t help laugh. Tong Hai laughed hehe helping Rui Fu make himself presentable, and covered h...
