The chubby little girl from the Li Clan paused, then continued to close her eyes and make a wish: "...I hope the Empress can glare at soone to death."
Zhao Rong couldn’t help himself and interjected, "Glare at soone to death? What does that an?"
"You don’t even know this? And you call yourself a scholar." The chubby little girl from the Li Clan shook her head, sighed with an old-fashioned air.
Zhao Rong opened his mouth, then closed it, looked at her, and nodded with an open mind.
The chubby little girl from the Li Clan crossed her arms, bead with satisfaction, and said, "Alright, seeing how humble you are, let teach you..."
Humble? Did you an open-minded?
By the way, can you stop coming up with nonsense, Li sister? Try thinking like a normal person...
The young Confucian scholar’s eye twitched, but he quickly held back and listened to what she had to say.
"The Empress is said to be stunningly beautiful; the sisters say this term describes the most beautiful won of the ti, aning her beauty makes everyone else unable to live, isn’t that amazing? It can only be our Empress."
Zhao Rong listened with a blank expression.
Numb.
Goodness, stunningly beautiful? No wonder you want your Empress to be a widow.
Hmm, case solved, finally figured out how the Emperor of Great Li passed away... He was jinxed to death by the beautiful Empress?
The young Confucian scholar nodded, giving a triumphant glance to the chubby little girl from the Li Clan.
Then he withdrew his expression and said directly:
"By the way, young lady, you haven’t explained the aning of the prophecy ’two-part bright moon, the return of Gui’. I’ve always been quite curious."
"Oh, you’re talking about that? According to the sisters, this prophecy is as ancient as the ceremonial event of the crescent moon and has been circulated in Li Territory for a long ti."
The chubby little girl from the Li Clan thought for a while:
"I rember a line from an ancient song circulating in the market of Li Territory... ’Three-part bright moon in the world, two parts of moon shine in Wangque.’ I think it might be related, but as for what exactly ’two-part bright moon’ refers to, whether it’s the moon or sothing else, I don’t know, but it’s rumored..."
She looked up again at the bright moon above, reverently saying:
"It’s rumored that when two moons rise simultaneously at the peak of Sacrificial Moon Mountain, it marks the day the ancestors who ascended to the Moon Palace will return to Li Territory, symbolizing the return of the lost glory of the Li Clan..."
The chubby little girl from the Li Clan gazed foolishly at the moon, her voice gradually turning into a murmur.
"Interesting, this prophecy is fascinating, as are your customs."
Zhao Rong nodded and remarked, noting all of this in his heart.
At this mont, he heard a commotion from the direction of the inscription cliff; it seed that the cultivators carving the inscriptions had completed their work.
Thinking about this inscription cliff utilized to ’repay the heavens,’ Zhao Rong couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
He glanced at the sky above.
It was already late at night, with less than four hours until the start of the Sealing and Sacrifice Ceremony at dawn.
The preparations for this grand ceremony had already reached the best possible plan he could manage with all his learning and strength.
Although ng Zhengjun’s unusual behavior still left him a little uneasy, everything that could be done had been done.
"Overthinking is pointless..."
Zhao Rong murmured, then turned to bid farewell to the chubby little girl from the Li Clan in front of him.
At this mont, she was still gazing sowhat silly at the moon in the sky, speaking with reverence, murmuring prayers.
"Moon, moon, if you can hear..."
Zhao Rong’s steps paused slightly, shaking his head and saying:
"Don’t be foolish, go back and rest. How could the bright moon in the sky hear your calls on earth?"
The chubby little girl from the Li Clan once again faced the bright moon, perford a crescent moon ritual, and stubbornly said, "I perford the ancient ritual, so it can see and hear , that’s what the Empress and sisters say, it can’t be wrong."
"What use is your ritual?"
Zhao Rong didn’t take it to heart, shaking his head.
He turned to walk down the mountain, took a few steps, then thought for a mont and, mimicking her, joked with a smile:
"Alright, then I wish you such exceptional zither skill that you can even move cattle."
The chubby little girl from the Li Clan couldn’t help but turn her head, "What do you an?"
"Playing the zither to a cow, if you can make the moon hear you, then it must be extraordinary music."
The chubby little girl from the Li Clan put on a stern face, "Oh, then I wish you can speak one word and make the heavens strike lightning."
Zhao Rong was a bit curious, "Oh, why is that?"
The chubby-faced little Li girl pouted, "Doesn’t heaven punish those who break their vows with lightning strikes?"
————
Uneasy at heart, yet everything that could be done had already been done.
"Thinking further is of no use..."
Zhao Rong muttered to himself, then turned to bid farewell to the chubby-faced little Li girl in front of him.
At that mont, she was still sowhat foolishly gazing at the moon in the sky, her tone devout, whispering a prayer.
"Moon, moon, if you can hear ..."
Zhao Rong’s steps to leave paused slightly, shaking his head, he said:
"Don’t be foolish, you should go back and rest. How could the bright moon in the sky hear your calls from the human world?"
The chubby-faced little Li girl turned to face the moon again, perford the crescent moon salute, and stubbornly said, "I have perford the ancient ritual, so it can see and hear . The Empress and sisters all said so, they cannot be wrong." Uneasy at heart, yet everything that could be done had already been done.
