Chapter 1023 What happened?
That night, at Chenfeng Courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion in Kyoto.
Ouyang Yunyao led Xiao Cui, Xia Yan, and Xia Fei back to Chenfeng Courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion.
At this time, Chu Chenjing had not yet returned to the manor. Seeing that Ouyang Yunyao had eaten hot pot that evening, Xiao Cui and the other maids quickly brewed a cup of light flower tea and placed it in front of Ouyang Yunyao.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ouyang Yunyao went into her and Chu Chenjing's bedroom and sent Xiao Cui, Xia Yan, and Xia Fei back to their rooms to rest.
The group helped Ouyang Yunyao make her bed, but she urged them to leave. Ouyang Yunyao then slipped into her spatial dimension, quickly took a shower, and dried her long hair before emerging from it.
She then sat on the soft couch, took out several simple English conversation books, a blank notebook, and a ballpoint pen from her storage space, and placed them on the small square table on the couch.
Then she placed an energy-saving lamp on the table and began to look down and flip through the English dialogue books. As she read, she began to compile a dialogue book suitable for the people of Xichu to learn the Luoba language, which was her simple English dialogue from her previous life.
Her English was quite good, and she originally planned to take the completed text to ask Prince Jolif and the others from the continent of Loba if there were any discrepancies between her and their statements.
Who would have thought that her casual question on the system screen would result in a complete map of the Yuzhou Continent and the Luoba Continent appearing on the screen, which is what is referred to here as a map.
The map clearly marked the location of the continent of Roba in the ocean, and the system directly informed her that the language used on the continent of Roba was English, which she had learned in her previous life.
She didn't know what was going on. Why were there suddenly more pieces of information about the continent of Roba in the system? She guessed that maybe she had met people from the continent of Roba, and the system was able to automatically search for their relevant information.
At this moment, she didn't care why. She sat on the warm, soft couch in her bedroom, where the room was cozy and not cold at all.
Their room had a heated floor with a kang (a traditional heated platform bed), and next to the soft couch was a charcoal stove with pipes, on which a pot of boiling water was kept warm for the couple to drink at night.
Her long hair was loose, tied back with a plain ribbon, and she wore a white cotton nightgown. She was looking down at her desk, her pen moving across the paper, her expression focused and absorbed.
When Chu Chenjing pushed open the door, this was the scene that greeted him. He rarely saw her so engrossed in writing. Dressed in white, with long hair reaching her waist, her profile under the lamplight was equally gentle and captivating, which softened his heart instantly. Looking at her delicate appearance, he felt breathless and longed to immediately pull her into his arms.
But he couldn't bear to disturb her, so he quietly walked to the table and sat down, his gaze fixed intently on her. He just stared at her as she scribbled and drew on the small table, feeling that he could never get enough of his little princess.
Ouyang Yunyao was so engrossed in writing the dialogue that she didn't notice anyone entering the room, nor did she see Chu Chenjing, who was already sitting there watching her.
It wasn't until she finally finished her manuscript and stretched that she noticed a burning gaze upon her. Turning her head, she saw Chu Chenjing sitting quietly to the side, staring at her. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "A-Jing, you're back? When did you get back? Why didn't you say anything?"
"My wife was so busy writing and drawing that she didn't even see me come in," Chu Chenjing said, looking at Ouyang Yunyao with a wronged expression, feigning reproach.
The word "Madam" instantly flushed Ouyang Yunyao's cheeks. He always called her "Yaoyao," so this "Madam" was quite unusual. What had gotten into him? She wasn't used to calling him that, but it seemed she would have to get used to it eventually.
She then raised her eyebrows to meet his gaze and said coquettishly, "My lord! I stayed up all night writing the dialogue in the Lopa language for you."
Chu Chenjing was amused by her blushing appearance and walked up to her. "You've worked hard, Madam!" He wanted to hug her, but smelling her fresh fragrance, he knew she had already bathed. However, he was covered in dust from his journey, so he suppressed the urge and simply patted her head. He then pulled her back to sit on the soft couch and casually picked up the notebook on the table, which was filled with her densely packed, crooked symbols, and began to look through it.
Looking at the symbolic characters, Chu Chenjing asked in confusion, "Madam, is this the kind of English you're talking about? The language spoken by the people on the continent of Luoba today? Why don't they look like characters?"
Ouyang Yunyao smiled and said, "This is their script. This Lopa language is indeed the English of our time."
"Your school... oh, you call it a school, does your school have this course in its curriculum?" Chu Chenjing remembered that she had introduced the courses he had studied in his previous life and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." She nodded in response, then changed the subject, "A-Jing, today you went to the palace and reported to Father about the people from the Kingdom of Lorian on the Continent of Roba. What did Father and the others say?"
"Yes, I have been reporting this matter to my father and elder brother in the palace. My father has now ordered the Minister of Rites to go to the post station to make proper arrangements."
"That's good!" Ouyang Yunyao nodded, then looked up and saw that he was still wearing his outer clothes, so she said, "Are you uncomfortable wearing your outer clothes? You should take a shower and change into some comfortable clothes."
"I'll take a bath later." Chu Chenjing said, getting up and taking off his outer robe, which he hung on the hanger. Wearing his inner robe, he walked to the stove, picked up the kettle, added some hot water to Ouyang Yunyao's cup, and handed it to her. "Madam, please have some hot water first. I have something to tell you."
Ouyang Yunyao was indeed thirsty, so she took the teacup, drank a few sips of hot water, and then looked up and asked, "Hmm! What is it?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Chu Chenjing's eyes as he said gently, "Yaoyao, I promised to let you come back and rest for a while, but now, I'm afraid you won't get any rest and will have to suffer again."
Ouyang Yunyao was taken aback upon hearing this, and her eyes widened as she asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chu Chenjing pulled her into his arms, leaning her against him, and paused before saying, "Today when I went to the palace, I told Father and my elder brother that you speak the language of the Luoba Continent. Father and my elder brother were overjoyed and said you are amazing."
"That's right! I'm your queen, how could I not be amazing!" Ouyang Yunyao said proudly.
Looking at her smug little face, Chu Chenjing pinched her cheek and continued, "Father said that this is great. Not only can the people of our Western Chu Kingdom communicate with those Luoba people, but they also won't be deceived by them."
"I mentioned again that you wanted to teach me the language of Luoba Kingdom, and my cousin Feng Li also wants to learn. Guess what Father Emperor said?"
Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and smiled, saying, "Did Father Emperor say that more people should learn the Lopa language?"
Chu Chenjing's lips twitched, suppressing a laugh, and he shook his head. "No!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunyao was completely bewildered. "Huh! What does that mean? They're not going to learn anything?"
