Chapter 8 - Snowfall Over Silk and Secrets

Fang Yuci quickly realized that the girl with a mix of styles from different eras was Liang Yuhan, whose favorability score towards her was -100%. The club director Jiang Chengwang also came over to say hello to her in his busy schedule, and brought a little girl with a SLR camera hanging around her neck, "Please take some nice photos of our Hanfu Club's beauty representative!"

When the little girl saw Fang Yuci, her eyes immediately widened like a deer's, and she kept saying to Jiang Chengwang, "No trouble, no trouble! I promise to take beautiful photos!"

Her gaze quickly passed over Jiang Chengwang's face, and she thought silently in her heart that Jiang Chengwang was indeed very handsome, no wonder he was the male god in Liang Yuhan's heart. He is about 1.8 meters tall, thin, with regular features and a slightly narrow and long face. He can be described as gentle and handsome.

There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the harem, and most of them who do dirty and tiring work are not qualified to appear in front of her. Therefore, she has only seen a few hundred eunuchs. Jiang Chengwang's appearance is considered outstanding among these hundreds of people. If he were a eunuch in the palace, this face alone would be enough to make a lot of impression points in the master's heart, and he would have a good chance of getting in front of the master...

Fang Yuci came back to her senses and realized where her thoughts had drifted to. She silently apologized to Jiang Chengwang in her heart - she didn't mean to compare Jiang Chengwang with the eunuchs, it was just that she had lived in ancient times for more than ten years, and had only seen a handful of men other than eunuchs.

No, in fact, there is nothing wrong with her comparing Jiang Chengwang with the eunuchs. Most of the eunuchs did not volunteer to be eunuchs. They were all poor people with nowhere to go. Fang Yuci reminded herself that everyone is equal! The eunuchs and Jiang Chengwang are also equal!

Jiang Chengwang's appearance is considered to be outstanding among hundreds of people, which means that although he may not be ranked as the school's most handsome boy, he is basically sure to be the department's most handsome boy.

The Hanfu suit perfectly suits Jiang Chengwang's gentle and handsome temperament. No wonder he has become the male god in Liang Yuhan's heart. She noticed that Jiang Chengwang's gaze drifted towards her from time to time, and the system frequently displayed prompts.

  [ Favorability value changes! People's favorability value: 189.93 (↓0.02), change details: Jiang Chengwang 58% (↓2%) ]

  [ Favorability value changes! People's favorability value: 189.91 (↓0.02), change details: Jiang Chengwang 56% (↓2%) ]

  …

  Fang Yuci:?

  Did she do anything?

Apart from greeting Jiang Chengwang when she first arrived, she had no communication with Jiang Chengwang since then. Had she and Jiang Chengwang always kept a distance from each other She thought about it and the only reason she could guess was that she changed her hairstyle, from long straight black hair to short hair with highlights.

  Tsk, it turns out my number one secret admirer is a face lover.

This makes sense. After all, the most outstanding feature of her is her face. Fang Yuci herself has not discovered any great inner charm of hers. In addition to Jiang Chengwang's frequently drifting gazes, she also noticed another pair of gazes following her. She quickly found the source of the other gaze, which came from Liang Yuhan. She discovered that Liang Yuhan was secretly looking at her. A moment later, Fang Yuci received a system prompt.

  [ Favorability value changes! People's Favorability Value: 189.98 (↑0.05), Change Details: Liang Yuhan - 95% (↑5%) ]

Then she also discovered that Liang Yuhan quickly took a secret photo of her with her mobile phone. A moment later, Fang Yuci received another system prompt.

  [Favorability value changes! People's favorability value: 190.03 (↑0.05), change details: Liang Yuhan -90% (↑5%)]

Fang Yuci's heart was filled with alarm bells. Why did Liang Yuhan secretly take photos of her? Did she want to do something with her photos? But why was Liang Yuhan's favorability towards her rising rapidly?

She had been keeping an eye on Liang Yuhan's movements. Liang Yuhan was taking photos with several other girls, dozens of meters away from Fang Yuci and Jiang Chengwang. Liang Yuhan had no communication with either her or Jiang Chengwang. Liang Yuhan couldn't possibly know that Jiang Chengwang's favorability towards her had dropped today...

  Then why did Liang Yuhan's favorability towards her increase?

  Fang Yuci couldn't figure it out.

A moment later, Fang Yuci discovered that Liang Yuhan secretly took out her cell phone, and she didn't know what she was looking at, but she smiled at the screen like an auntie. At the same second, Fang Yuci received a system prompt.

  [ Favorability value changes! People's Favorability Value: 190.08 (↑0.05), Change Details: Liang Yuhan -85% (↑5%) ]

  Fang Yuci: ???

  Could it be that Liang Yuhan was looking at the photo of her that was just taken secretly?

  Why did Liang Yuhan's favorability towards her increase after she looked at her photo?

  Liang Yuhan thinks her new hairstyle is ugly? Is she happy to see people she hates become ugly?

  Or maybe Liang Yuhan knows very well the type of girls Jiang Chengwang likes, and also knows very well that Jiang Chengwang is a face lover, so she is sure that Jiang Chengwang will not like her new hairstyle?

Well, if that's the case, Liang Yuhan actually knows Jiang Chengwang quite well, and Jiang Chengwang's favorability towards her has indeed decreased. But it doesn't matter! Liang Yuhan's favorability towards her increased even more! With this increase and decrease in price, Fang Yuci actually made a profit from it!

  .

Although the little girl who Jiang Chengwang asked to follow Fang Yuci was petite and cute, Fang Yuci soon found out that she was actually a grade higher than her and a sophomore named Lin.

When Senior Sister Lin saw Fang Yuci, inspiration flew out of her mind, and she kept directing Fang Yuci to pose. Fang Yuci silently thought in her heart that women in ancient times really couldn't pose in such twisted poses. She almost twisted herself into a knot under Senior Sister Lin's command.

However, after seeing the photos taken by Senior Sister Lin, Fang Yuci had to admit that the more awkward the poses, the better the photos would turn out. So Fang Yuci willingly twisted herself into a pretzel.

After cooking and drinking the porridge indoors, all the members of the Hanfu Club went outdoors together and took a bus to the lake to wear Hanfu and go boating. Fortunately, the weather was nice and snowflakes started falling from the sky as soon as we arrived at the lake.

It doesn't snow often in Fang Yuci's city. You can only see snow in the winter every two or three years. So when they saw the falling snowflakes, her classmates in the city and those whose hometowns are further south were very excited. The students in the north also found it interesting to see the excited students in the south.

Senior Sister Lin, who had been following Fang Yuci, was from a very southern hometown. She was so excited to see the snowflakes that she held up her SLR and took photos along the way. "This snow is amazing! The snowflakes are all very big! They come out very clear in the photos!"

  "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come with me to the long bridge to take pictures!"

Fang Yuci has already seen clearly that her task today is to be a good photo prop for Senior Sister Lin, and she will take photos wherever Senior Sister Lin tells her to. Senior Lin also borrowed a cloak from other classmates, draped it over Fang Yuci, and stood on tiptoe to put a hat on Fang Yuci, hiding Fang Yuci's highlighted short hair in the hat.

  "Although your hairstyle is also very beautiful, it would be a shame not to take some photos of this scenery, this snowy day, and this beauty in pure ancient style."

After Fang Yuci put on her cloak and hat, Senior Sister Lin's eyes lit up again, "It looks so good!"

  "Someone like you who is tall, skinny and has long legs is most suitable for wearing a cloak!"

  "Wow! You look so noble in this cape! No wonder the ladies in costume TV dramas like to wear capes in winter!"

Fang Yuci glanced at the cloak on her body and thought silently in her heart that a queen who wore a satin cloak stuffed with cotton in winter must be a queen who had a miserable life. Anyway, she had never worn such a satin cloak stuffed with cotton since she entered the palace. In winter, her cloaks were all made of mink, fox, ermine, beaver...

It's a pity that she never had the heart to enjoy delicious food and fine clothes in ancient times, but now that she has returned to the modern era, she has no regrets at all. For her, the happiness that a mobile phone can bring her is worth a room full of fur capes!

What's more, her parents are in modern times, and her roots are in modern times. Even if there are no mobile phones or computers in modern times and she can only eat coarse food, she will still come back.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to have both. If she chooses her parents, she will have to endure the pain of separation from her children. Fang Yuci can only comfort herself that her eldest son, as the crown prince, will be the future emperor, and her daughter is the most favored princess. Even if she leaves, the two will not have to suffer for the rest of their lives. What's more, the emperor is far more qualified as a father than as a husband.

Fang Yuci's expression when she recalled ancient times made Senior Lin particularly satisfied!

  "Yes, yes, that's right. My God, when you look into the distance, you look like a resentful woman in the palace!"

  Fang Yuci: A resentful woman?!

  She has always been the emperor's favorite woman. I don't know how many people envy, hate and envy her. How can she be a resentful woman?

Seeing Fang Yuci's helpless expression, Senior Sister Lin explained to her, "I'm not saying you look haggard, nor am I saying you're not beautiful. You're so beautiful that it makes me cry!"

If you were really in the harem, as long as the emperor was not blind, he would definitely dote on you. But does that mean a woman favored by the emperor would not be lonely? Yang Guifei was so favored, and there was also a moment when she was drunk. Which woman in the deep palace has not experienced loneliness?"

When Senior Sister Lin said this, she was suddenly stunned. The aura that Fang Yuci exuded just now was clearly a loneliness that could not be any stronger.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Senior Sister Lin looked at Fang Yuci while walking backwards.

"Be careful!" Fang Yuci warned loudly, but it was still a step too late. Senior Sister Lin stepped on a small stone. The falling snow fell to the ground and turned into snow water. The ground was extremely slippery. Senior Sister Lin lost her balance and fell to the ground, gasping for air.

Fang Yuci quickly ran towards Senior Sister Lin, and subconsciously shouted anxiously, "Bai——"

Bai Lu was no longer by her side, so Fang Yuci quickly stopped talking. Fang Yuci carefully helped Senior Lin up from the ground. Other classmates also hurried over and asked Senior Lin if anything was wrong.

Senior Sister Lin didn't care about herself. She checked her SLR first to make sure that she had protected it well when she fell. It wasn't bumped or hit. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huh - it's okay."

The classmates looked at each other with a puzzled look on their faces. "Don't look at the SLR! Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Senior Lin waved her hands, "It's just that my ankle hurts a little, I think it was sprained, it's not a big deal!"

  Fang Yuci and two other boys took a taxi to send Senior Sister Lin back to the dormitory. On the way back to school, Senior Sister Lin's ankle began to swell. The two boys could only take Senior Sister Lin to the dormitory downstairs. Fang Yuci helped Senior Sister Lin back to the dormitory, "You need to apply ice to your ankle first."

Fang Yuci helped Senior Sister Lin sit on a chair, found a down jacket in Senior Sister Lin's closet and put it on her, and filled the hot water bottle with hot water, letting Senior Sister Lin hold it to warm her hands, "Ice compresses are very cold in winter, so you won't catch a cold if you keep your body warm."

Then Fang Yuci wet the towel with cold water and applied it to Sister Lin's ankle. After the towel was warmed by body temperature, Fang Yuci immediately cooled it down with cold water before applying it again. Senior Lin was wearing a down jacket and holding a hot water bottle. Her body was warm, and the towel on her ankles was cold. However, Fang Yuci's movements were so gentle and she was so beautiful that Senior Lin actually felt it was a kind of enjoyment.

"You are so good at taking care of people!" Senior Sister Lin said with emotion, "Do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"

Fang Yuci shook her head and thought to herself that although she had countless palace maids and eunuchs serving her in ancient times, in front of the emperor, she was just a person serving the emperor, no matter if she was a concubine, a royal concubine, or a empress dowager...they were essentially the same.

Even if it's not for the purpose of gaining the emperor's favor, how could she not serve others just to survive in the harem? Fang Yuci meticulously applied cold compress to Senior Sister Lin for forty minutes, and then helped Senior Sister Lin take off her pants.

  Senior Lin: (//▽//)

  I helped Senior Sister Lin lie down on the bed and raised her feet.

  Senior Lin: (//▽//)

  Help Senior Sister Lin order takeout.

  Senior Lin: ≧▽≦

Although Senior Sister Lin enjoyed the care of the pretty junior sister, she was very embarrassed at this time and urged Fang Yuci, "Go back quickly! I just sprained my ankle. I can go anywhere by hopping on one leg!"

Fang Yuci nodded, "Okay, I'll go back then. If you need any help, just call me."

Fang Yuci saved her mobile number in Senior Sister Lin's phone, and then reminded her, "I saw that you had an electric blanket on your bed."

  Senior Lin: "Shh!"

Fang Yuci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I won't report you for using illegal electrical appliances. I mean, you can't apply heat to your sprained ankle within 24 hours, so the electric blanket can't touch your ankle, otherwise it will swell even more."

"When you use an electric blanket, remember to raise your injured ankle so that it won't burn you."

"In fact, you should try to keep your injured foot elevated all the time, which will help with recovery."

"You must be careful when you go to the toilet. Don't jump on one leg and then fall down. That will hurt you more seriously, and you might even break a bone. It's best to ask your roommate to help you walk to the toilet door..."

  Senior Sister Lin couldn't help it and interrupted Fang Yuci, "Oh my God! Why are you so much like a mother!"

  Fang Yuci: ...

  I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you this, but actually my eldest son is only a few years younger than you.
