Translating Sloth

 The women in the white cloak looked ahead, a calmness in her gaze, she raised her hand to rub the tears from the corner of her eyes, firmly saying: "What do you want me to do? As long as it doesn't harm him, I can consider it." A slight laugh came from the person behind her, a composed yet very cool personality. "Don't worry, us Daiyan people place relationships very highly, I won't let you be a bad person, I only want a map, it's inside prince Chen's study, if you get it for me, I will help you get rid of his princess, allow you to take the position of princess Chen." The woman in the white cloak nodded, softly saying: "Fine!"  Having spoken she turned around, the person had already disappeared, only the faint cold voice could be heard: "I'll give you five days, meet at the usual place after five days." The woman in the white cloak stood on the spot for some time, making sure the mysterious Daiyan person had actually lef

 There was a lake outside the city's west gate, it looked like a crescent from a distance, thus it was called moongazing lake, it became a place for many literary gatherings and conversations. The carriage slowly took off, Ji Ling Xue leaned against the side of the carriage looking at Xiao Yi Chen sitting opposite her with eyes closed, she raised her foot to kick the other person's boot, Ji Ling Xue asked, "Ai, why did you suddenly want to take me to a literary gathering?" She had no interest in poetry, she would be so bored and sleepy. Xiao Yi Chen opened his eyes looking down at the tip of his shoe, making sure there was no dirt, that's when he said: "Isn't it good to take you out so you're not bored? If it was someone else they would be begging for this." "I'm so fortunate." Ji Ling Xue curled her lips, she had married Xiao Yi Chen for so long, this was the first time he took her out, and really ought to feel honoured. Xiao Yi Ch

 Xiao Yi Chen said: "Why are you standing, let's eat." As he spoke he took the lead and sat down first. Ji Ling Xue had thick skin, forcing aside Ji Yu Qing who was planning to sit next to Xiao Yi Chen, sitting her bottom down, in passing telling the two of them to give out the bowls. Ji Yu Qing was so angry her little face turned pale, wanting to complain, she saw Xiao Yi Chen holding Ji Ling Xue's hand, like he was warning her, he was protecting Ji Ling Xue. Ji Yu Qing with a pale face, didn't eat much, using the excuse that her body wasn't feeling well she returned to her room. Zi Su stood beside Xiao Yi Chen waiting upon him as he ate, following Ji Yu Qing as she left alone a slight smile appeared on her lips. Ji Ling Xue took her hand out of Xiao Yi Chen's, taking out a handkerchief she wiped her hand, her obsession with cleanliness made the offended Xiao Yi Chen frown. Xiao Yi Chen coughed once: "This prince will go participate in a poetry gathe

 The next day, Ji Ling Xue was woken up by Xiao Yi Chen's voice, she suddenly opened her eyes to see Xiao Yi Chen was right in front of her, Ji Ling Xue's heart leapt, after making sure she had been sleeping on the couch, her nervous heart calmed down. Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, "Why are you so scared of me being close?" Ji Ling Xue didn't reply, she only stared into Xiao Yi Chen's earnest eyes, silence was the best answer. Xiao Yi Chen turned around pushing open the door he left. Ji Ling Xue breathed out, feeling the imperial calligraphy hidden on her, her gloomy mood disappeared. The door opened with a squeak, Ji Ling Xue turned her head, seeing Xiao Yi Chen come in carrying a copper basin. Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, this was the palace, what it didn't lack the most were palace maids, what was with Xiao Yi Chen, insisting on doing this himself? Xiao Yi Chen knew what Ji Ling Xue was thinking, explaining: "The palace maids sent over to s

 Under the guidance of a palace maid, Xiao Yi Chen stood at the door of the side palace hall, after waving the maid away, Xiao Yi Chen pushed the door open and entered. It was very dark in the room, there was only the meagre light from two candles. "Ji Ling Xue..." Xiao Yi Chen called her name as he walked forward, thinking in his mind how strange it was for Ji Ling Xue to stay the night at the empress dowager's palace, there was definitely something going on. When Xiao Yi Chen pushed aside the drapery and stood beside the bed, he saw Ji Ling Xue lying on the bed like a beautiful serpent, he then understood everything. Ji Ling Xue was in a very deep sleep, she had light makeup on, long black hair spread out over her head, like a waterfall encasing her fair and exquisite cheeks, her small vermillion red lips dazzling, like a rose which bloomed in the dark of night, emitting an alluring scent. Maybe it was because the room was too quiet, so much so Xiao Yi Chen could hear h

 Ji Ling Xue smiled: "How can that be? Your majesty is mocking me." The empress dowager waved at Ji Ling Xue: "Xue Er, come over to me." Ji Ling Xue obediently walked to empress dowager's side, the empress dowager held her hand, asking in concern, "You girl, where did you go just now, elderly maid Zhao came back saying you had disappeared, my heart has been worrying all this time, there are many walls and parks in this palace, I'm afraid you would get lost for three days and still not find your way." The empress dowager spoke the truth, the palace was vast, thick walls and tall roofs, the layout was complicated, there were many rules, if one was not careful you may come across some high ranking concubine, a little mistake and you could be punished. Ji Ling Xue said: "Thank you for your concern, I just went to the toilet that's all." Going to the toilet was the excuse for anything that didn't want to be explained, if her lie was se

 Ding Si Fang let go of Ji Ling Xue, his tone softening: "This is a cobblestone not an egg, you can't hatch a chick, it's very dangerous here, where do you live, I'll take you back." He had felt a pair of eyes on him before, now that he found out who it was, he only felt it was by chance. Ji Ling Xue blinked her large eyes: "Ok, I want to go to the empress dowager, do you know how to get there?" As she spoke she tugged on the corner of Ding Si Fang's sleeve with familiarity. Even though Ding Si Fang's name was very unsophisticated, he was actually a very robust young man, his facial features were very standard, even though he didn't have Xiao Yi Chen's assertiveness, he had his own awe-inspiring manner as a general. "So, you're not a concubine of the emperor?" Ding Si Fang was surprised, he had thought he had come across a concubine who had lost favour and gone mad, it turns out he had over thought things. Ji Ling Xue laughe

 Maybe because he was curious, Xiao Yi Chen ate very quickly, putting down his chopsticks, he sat upright and still waiting for the empress dowager to answer him. The empress dowager's actions were very slow and graceful, as if she was in no rush. Xiao Yi Mo laughed, tilting his head he looked at Xiao Yi Chen asking: "What has imperial brother been busy with recently? This days we have received reports from the military, Daiyan has frequently made movements, I've decided to let Ding Si Fang to leave for the border station in the northwest, what does imperial brother think of this?" Thinking of Ding Si Fang, Xiao Yi Chen's heart flared in anger, that was his military report, how could the opportunity be stolen by Ding Si Fang, and having swept through the servants at the residence, he still couldn't find who was the spy sent by Ding Si Fang, Xiao Yi Mo mentioning this, was for him to give up some of his military control. Xiao Yi Chen laughed: "Recently I&#

 Xiao Yi Mo and the empress dowager sat opposite each other in the reception pavilion taking in everything lovely in the garden and drinking perfectly steeped spring tea, a familiar figure passed through the garden heading their way. Xiao Yi Mo's lips raised into a smile, knocking on the table, saying to the empress dowager who was drinking tea: "Mother, brother has come!" The empress dowager nodded in acknowledgement, putting down the tea cup in her hand saying:  "Chen Er and Xue Er have been married for a year, there's no movement in Xue Er's stomach at all, you already have several children, Chen Er has a wife and concubines, but there's been no children...when can I hold a grandson!" Xiao Yi Chen covered his mouth laughing in his sleeve, he didn't know what was happening in Xiao Yi Chen's residence, but he knew Xiao Yi Chen had not touched a woman so far, how can there be a child? The empress dowager felt the white hairs on her head had i

 Xiao Yi Chen was so angry the veins on his forehead throbbed, lifting his hand to rub his forehead, he called for the secret guard to pay for the clothes, turning he left in a rage, he felt, if he spent too long with Ji Ling Xue, his life would shorten by three years. The secret guard followed behind Xiao Yi Chen worryingly, his steps were very light, erasing his existence as much as possible. After walking for a while, Xiao Yi Chen stopped, suddenly asking: "Which direction did Ji Ling Xue head towards?" Deliberately getting rid of him, she must have a secret! The secret guard carefully replied: "It looked like in the direction of the palace." Xiao Yi Chen frowned, somewhat suspicious of why Ji Ling Xue had energetically entered the palace, turning his head he glanced in the direction of the palace, then headed back to the residence. The secret guard stroked his head, somewhat unable to make out what his master was thinking, following Xiao Yi Chen even more solemn

 Xiao Yi Chen's stomach turned over from the stench on his body, he looked up at the clouds in the sky, that cloud had a wide mouth, as if it was laughing at his sorry figure. At this moment Xiao Yi Chen felt the need to curse more than ever, Ji Ling Xue was very good at pushing his limits, but he didn't forget where he was right now, he was a prince, he couldn't lose his poise, holding onto Ji Ling Xue's shoulder, he asked out of concern: "Are you alright?" Ji Ling Xue shook her head, of course she was more comfortable after throwing up, but Xiao Yi Chen didn't look very well. Ji Ling Xue awkwardly took out a handkerchief to pass to Xiao Yi Chen, "There's a clothes store ahead..." If prince doesn't reject the clothing material as being too poor, he could change into something clean. Before Ji Ling Xue finished speaking, Xiao Yi Chen had already taken more than ten steps, "Hurry up and follow." Having spoken he walked ahead with

 Having heard what was said, Xiao Yi Chen's lips curled into a mesmerising, pay with your own life smile, "No problem, this prince can ride a horse." Ji Ling Xue shook out the goose bumps which appeared all over her body turning around she continued onwards, "Forget about it, it's not a good day to go out, I'll shop another day, prince please do as you like!" Having spoken she raised her hand and waved, looking like she was unwilling to be associated with him. Xiao Yi Chen frowned, the next moment, his figure disappeared. Ji Ling Xue only felt a cold breeze from behind her, her body became light, a powerful arm wrapped around her, easily her body was lifted in the air, everything was in disorder, her head spun. Ji Ling Xue rolled her eyes, bellowing: "Let me go!" Xiao Yi Chen's light laugh was by her ear, the arm wrapped around her waist tightened a little, her stomach was in squeezed, she felt her five viscera and six bowels being pressed
