65: Pei Shuyun visits late at night! I want your poem!

Li Shengyuan's first reaction was surprise; did Aunt Shen overhear his conversation with Pei Shuyun?

But then he shook his head, denying it. With the Cangsheng Brush's concealment, let alone Aunt Shen, a fourth-rank, even a third-rank wouldn't be able to detect anything.

After understanding this, he couldn't help but marvel at the telepathy between him and Aunt Shen; she actually had the same idea as him.

However, he sternly denied it, saying, "Aunt Shen, don't talk nonsense. How could I covet a married woman? As for whether she's big or not, it's not important. What I care about is the person you are!"

After delivering this scoundrel's speech, Li Shengyuan stretched out his hands and, very naturally, wrapped an arm around each woman.

Facts proved that this scoundrel's sweet talk was quite effective on Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang.

"You only say pretty words to deceive people," Shen Xinrong cooed, her lips slightly curled up.

Princess Pingyang also chimed in, "Exactly, Li Gege only says pretty words."

Even though they were both embraced by Li Shengyuan, the two women, blushing and shyly exchanging glances, felt a sweet warmth in their hearts, sensing Li Shengyuan's genuine affection.

Although they often bickered, in this era, they did not resist the excellent Li Shengyuan having other women, as long as Li Shengyuan did not abandon them.

And at this moment, they both felt a strong affection from Li Shengyuan.

Under the dark night, the three embraced deeply, looking up at the crescent moon.

Who said that triangles are stable in everything but relationships?

Triangular relationships are also very stable, okay? In the future, there will also be pentagonal and octagonal relationships… Li Shengyuan thought to himself.

What bothered Li Shengyuan was that his arms couldn't quite embrace them all.

At this moment, gazing at the moonlit scenery, with beautiful women in his arms, Li Shengyuan couldn't help but want to recite a poem:

"May you be like the stars, and I like the moon, shining brightly together night after night."

As his cultivation reached the fourth-rank Nascent Soul stage, Li Shengyuan's memory also became incredibly powerful. Even though he had only seen these two lines of poetry once or twice on Blue Star in his previous life, he still remembered them very clearly.

It was just that this poem originally spoke of a loving man and woman, but Li Shengyuan shamelessly altered it…

He compared himself to the moon, while Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang in his arms became the stars in the sky.

But as locals, Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang didn't know what the original lines of the poem were.

After hearing Li Shengyuan's poem, both Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang looked up at Li Shengyuan in surprise, their eyes filled with love.

But before the two of them could speak, a clear, pleasant voice of admiration came from behind them.

"What a good poem, truly a good poem! It seems this princess has come at an inopportune moment, disturbing your elegant gathering."

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, startled, instinctively left Li Shengyuan's embrace and quickly turned around, only to see Consort Peishuyun of Yan, her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, a gentle smile on her face, gracefully striding towards the three.

Watching Pei Shuyun approach, Li Shengyuan was not surprised; she could hide from Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang's senses, but she couldn't hide from him.

Instead, he said with a composed expression, "Yan Consort, what brings you here so late at night?"

Pei Shuyun smiled elegantly, but answered evasively in a soft voice, "I've long heard that Li Shengyuan, the eldest grandson of Chief Assistant Li's family, displayed extraordinary poetic talent from a young age. But later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly stopped composing poetry. Now it seems, it's not that he couldn't compose poetry, but that he didn't want to!"

Li Shengyuan, meanwhile, thought to himself, 'I don't produce poetry; I'm merely a porter of poetry. The ancestors of Blue Star, knowing their poems can be spread in another world, surely wouldn't blame me.'

Pei Shuyun then looked at Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang beside him, saying with a hint of envy,

"I imagine Princess and Miss Shen must often hear many beautiful poems from Lord Li, which truly makes one envious."

Others might not know the true identities of the two women beside Li Shengyuan, but as Yan Consort, she knew them all too well!

Li Shengyuan smiled slightly, "What's so difficult about that? If Yan Consort can let me be as you say, and you tell me your secret, there's no harm in me writing poetry for you."

The meaning behind his words was known only to Li Shengyuan and Pei Shuyun, the two parties involved.

Princess Pingyang looked at the two of them somewhat bewildered, not understanding what they meant.

Shen Xinrong, however, scanned back and forth between the two, her eyes filled with suspicion.

She couldn't help but ponder, 'It seems there's something going on between these two, not just the hugging and embracing on stage earlier!'

Pei Shuyun covered her lips and chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, looking directly into Li Shengyuan's teasing gaze, and said softly,

"Then it seems this princess needs to work harder. I also want Lord Li to compose a good poem exclusively for me!"

"At that time, the good poem will certainly not disappoint you, but it will depend on Yan Consort's performance," Li Shengyuan smiled indifferently.

In this world, any well-read young lady from a prominent family would have a touch of literary romanticism, and they would be unable to resist a good poem exclusively for them.

Shen Xinrong, listening to their conversation from the side, only felt that the two were becoming increasingly strange.

At this moment, Li Shengyuan said with a serious expression, "Yan Consort, coming to find me at this hour, it shouldn't just be for reciting poetry, right? Could it be to explore the true meaning of life?"

Pei Shuyun was somewhat baffled by what Li Shengyuan said.

What did 'exploring the true meaning of life' mean?

Was this topic a bit too profound…

But looking at the mischievous smile on Li Shengyuan's face, even if she didn't know what he meant, she knew it certainly wasn't anything proper!

She couldn't help but inwardly curse, blushing, 'That scoundrel is truly no good!'

Speaking of exploring the true meaning of mystery, even the seemingly simple and naive Princess Pingyang beside her had more experience than her…

At this moment, Shen Xinrong finally couldn't stand the 'flirting' between the two scoundrels any longer, and knowing that the Yan Consort in front of them had something to say to Li Shengyuan privately, she pulled Princess Pingyang away and bid farewell.

"We've been traveling all day, and Princess Pingyang and I are a bit tired. You two take your time chatting. You can come back whenever… You don't have to come back either!"

"I'm not tired…"

Princess Pingyang said somewhat blankly. She still wanted to cuddle and enjoy the moon with her good brother, having finally escaped the pressure of Imperial Sister in the capital.

But after Shen Xinrong glared at her slightly, she pouted and obediently said,

"Alright, I'm tired too…"

Although she had some minor squabbles with Shen Xinrong, after spending the day together, she was almost successfully disciplined by Shen Xinrong.

After the two women flew off towards the giant floating sword, a hint of satisfaction also appeared in Pei Shuyun's eyes.

Li Shengyuan then said indifferently, "So mysterious. Now you can tell me what you want to do!"

Pei Shuyun's lips curved slightly, and the tear mole at the corner of her eye seemed to flutter with her confident expression.

"I have the evidence you need to deal with him!"

Li Shengyuan was stunned at her words. He naturally knew who "him" was in Pei Shuyun's mouth, but he asked doubtfully,

"Even if you dislike him, why do you want to deal with him like this?"

Pei Shuyun said indifferently, "Isn't dislike enough?!"

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but be taken aback, then smiled and agreed, "For you women, that's certainly enough."

"Tell me, what do you need?!"

Pei Shuyun, however, smiled sweetly. Under the moonlight, Li Shengyuan was momentarily lost in thought.

"It's very simple. I need you to compose a poem that suits me very well and satisfies me!"
