The Empress' Livestream

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“So to speak, you might have seen me in your dream, as well?”

Han Yu put a peaceful and kind smile on, but he had a sense of suspicion in his eyes...

Are you kidding me? Who would buy nonsense like that?

That was correct––the other bug about the dream was that there was one more person involved: Han Yu.

She started to inquire about Cheng Youmo and Wei Zixiao as soon as she learned about Ha Yu’s literary name––only if he paid enough attention.

If the story did not lack in consistency, Han Yu was supposed to be in her dream or else she was just making it up.

Han Yu was hoping that Jiang Pengyu would at least have felt some shame. He was surprised to see her continue her bogus story without feeling any shame. “Yeah, I felt bad that it was too misty to see his face. There was only a blurry shape of the person and I believed it was only a dream. It’s fabulous that it’s actually real.”

People in the stream room all gave her a thumbs up for her impressive acting skills.

Jinqun Kanliangliang: “I admire the host’s acting skills in general. She will get it in one take without any mistakes. She almost believes her lines no matter how ridiculous they are... Life is like a drama: everything is all up to how well you perform. And she is for sure a good enough actress to strive for an Oscar Award.”

Qiufeng Sese: “Those best actors and actresses of the Oscar Awards have no comparison to the host. They don’t act 24/7 like the host.”

Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan: “Eh, she is making it so convincing. It’s like she is telling the truth, even though I know she is lying. That makes my mind unsettled.”

The audience started to question their own judgements––not to mention Han Yu, who didn’t know much about her.

Han Yu’s lip trembled and reacted rigidly. “As you say, the encounter between you and I must be destiny.”

Jiang Pengji smoothly responded without taking a breath. “Yeah, this predestined coincidence can turn to a beautiful legend.”

Feng Ji fell for it and he was astonished. “Everyone is saying that what you dream at night reflects what hounds your mind in the daytime. It’s amazing that Liuting Jun dreamed about it, considering you were born and raised in Hejian County, and you had no knowledge about these three people’s names––especially Wei Zixiao, who just recently got his literary name. Your dream might be suggesting it’s fate. Perhaps you will have a chance to see those people from your dream when you visit Langya County.”

Han Yu was still holding doubts until Feng Jin pushed hard.

It sounded illusional and dramatic, but it also sounded authentic with the background of the story.

Jiang Pengji’s original speech said that she was in a fairyland and a gorgeous lady was bathing and burning incense. She was about to engage in some small talk when she overheard someone calling her “Zixiao.” The gorgeous lady responded and called the other one “Youmo.”

In another word, the background of the story was in a fairyland, and they were having a bath.

Han Yu was not so eager to imagine Zixiao having a bath in the dream... and what was he doing in the dream?

It would be odd still because Liu Xi, as a male that was barely an adult, would not be able to see much that would be inappropriate except for shapes of people. There was heavy mist in his dreams.

Jiang Pengji took advantage of the young age of his body because she knew people lowered their guard around kids. She started pushing harder.

“So this Youmo... Word has circulated that he is person with a gentle temper, precaution, thoroughness, and a good heart. Is that for real?”

Han Yu spaced out for a moment and gave her a knee-jerk answer, “Yes, Youmo is a reliable and meticulous person and he is very sweet to people around him. Master Yuanjing highly acclaims him.”

Han Yu just regained himself after his reply and he tried to confirm the “dream talk” from Jiang Pengji even more.

How come?

Cheng Youmo kept things low key in his life and left no impression on all of the students. Only a few of his good friends had any ideas about what kind of person he really was, but any strangers wouldn’t know anything about him––especially Jiang Pengji, who was quite far removed from him.

She knew extremely well about Youmo’s personality and she could even name Youmo’s big merits accurately. Apparently she had grounds to prove it.

Han Yu’s curiosity increased with Jiang Pengji’s dream. Han Yu was too busy to be bothered by the discomfort from earlier.

“About that... Wei Zixiao...”Jiang Pengji gave a grim smile and asked, “Is he really beautiful like a girl?”

Han Yu approached closer and waited for what she was about to say. It turned out that he was so startled by her words that he almost choked on his own saliva. That would be rude.

Feng Jin was speechless, but he could not show any resentment towards Jiang Pengji. It did seem like she was just simply asking for an answer.

Han Yu wondered, “Didn’t you say you could not see a face?”

Jiang Pengji had her “I’m innocent” face on and explained, “I didn’t, but I have heard Wenbin tease him like this before. Words have it that he left his sachet behind on the street and it was picked up by a businessman one day. That businessman paid a matchmaker to propose to Wei Zixiao for him with the missing sachet... If he wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful when compared to an average women, then it shouldn’t be too hard to tell his sex. Right?”

Jiang Pengji was the one who could lie through her teeth.

More than half of the audience in streaming room even believed her bull.

Nongfu Shanquan Youdiantian: “Lol... He must have an excessive amount mental trauma after being proposed to as a girl.”

Hanwo Daye: “I have noticed that the guys in this world are all kinda gay after I continuously watched the stream for days. Advocating for being graceful as a guy seems to be trendy in that era... Those guys with pretty feminine faces do cause confusion for others. It would be overly traumatizing.”

Han Yu’s pale cheeks appeared to blush and he seemed a bit stressed out.

“I’m not going to answer that. I don’t plan on getting burned when you two meet someday and you spill it out.”

He shook his head to the question and kept his mouth shut about it.

However...

Han Yu continued, “However, it is very likely that Zixiao has been through some incidents like that. Zixiao was not happy when everyone paid more attention to his appearance. He kept claiming that his body was a gift from his parents, but there was no talking back. Does it matter if it is pretty or ugly? Isn’t it just a skeleton under the skin?”

Good looking girls were never secure in the current era, but that didn’t mean that good looking guys were.

“A skeleton?” Jiang Pengji chuckled with that theory. “He sounds like a fun guy.”

Wouldn’t it be fun?

Looks were a major influence to someone’s political career in the current era. It could be a critical element to be evaluated if the person was qualified to start his career––but it meant nothing to Wei Zixiao.

Either he was never bugged by the issue, or he just played cool.

He did have an insight if that was his genuine thought.

Han Yu was aware that Jiang Pengji would set out for Langya in couples of months. He blurted out, “Then we will be classmates by then. There is no rush for you to be in Langya County in a short time. You will not be late, even in three to four months.”

“How so?” Feng Jin asked.

Han Yu continued, “Don’t tell me you forgot? All the apprentices who passed the initial evaluation will all leave for The Capital in three months. Teachers might go along and escort them depending on the quantities of students this year... According to my knowledge, County Chief is the General Evaluation Officer this year. He will be heading that way as well.”

It would be mostly guaranteed that half of the students would be gone, especially the most essential Mater Jingyuan if she arrived as she had planned.

She pondered a little and made up her mind. “Then I can come along with my father to The Capital. And I will go with Mater Yuanjin and his people to Langya after the evaluation ends.”

Han Yu agreed. “It doesn’t sound bad. It can help you enrich your experience in The Capital.”
