Chapter 671 Book 1 Dream 12
Shangguan He kept a close eye on her movements, his hands never stopping, and his mouth never forgetting to say nice things.
"A beauty is a beauty. She is beautiful even without any makeup. Makeup, hair and jewelry are just embellishments for you, only playing a role in adding to your beauty."
She glanced at the person behind her in the bronze mirror, watching their well-defined hands deftly moving through her hair.
"You seem quite skilled. Have you studied this before?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan He smiled and shook his head, saying somewhat narcissistically, "No, it's just that everyone has a love for beauty, and I might be more talented at it."
He has always liked exquisite and beautiful things, and as a man, he dresses up every day, so he can learn many things just by looking at them.
Huang Chengzhu saw her long hair being lifted up by him and transformed into an exquisite bun in the blink of an eye.
The original owner's hair wasn't that long. She took some kind of elixir to make her hair grow faster and improve its quality. Longer hair is more suitable for ancient hairstyles.
After her hair and makeup were done, Huang Chengzhu picked up the jewelry box on the table and opened it. Inside were jewelry she had recently bought and items she had taken from her personal space.
Shangguan He glanced at her; she was wearing blue and white clothes today.
I picked out a few hairpins inlaid with white jade and sapphires from the jewelry box, added a hair ornament, and put them on her.
"How is it? Do you like it?" He leaned down and whispered in her ear, admiring the beauty in the mirror with her.
Huang Chengzhu looked at herself carefully in the mirror, nodded slightly, acknowledging his craftsmanship, and casually picked up a pair of matching earrings and put them on.
The two sat down to eat. Indeed, Shangguan He's purpose today was to stay and dine with her.
Huang Chengzhu didn't kick him out because he had styled his hair and brought him food.

Song Yimeng has come to Canjiangyue again, this time she's carrying a bundle.
"Old Huang, do you think we can bring anything back with us?"
"You want to take the gold back?" Huang Chengzhu glanced at her.
"Yes, it would be best to bring some back, but if we really can't, then forget it."
Looking at her bundle, Song Yimeng felt regretful, realizing she couldn't take it back with her.
"I doubt it, Song Xiaoyu. Don't forget we're in a soul-transmigration, not a physical-body one."
She could take it with her using her spatial storage, but I don't plan to help her carry it; otherwise, I'd have to explain.
As for money, Song Yimeng will still be an actress after she goes back. Once her drama airs, she will definitely become popular and won't be short of money.
"What a pity, I didn't gain anything from the time travel."
"Just consider this brief experience of the life of a noble lady a special trip."
"Yeah, that's the only way I can comfort myself," Song Yimeng said, then looked at her again.
"But you're really willing to give it up? Your status is much freer than mine. Nobody cares whether you get married or not, and I don't think you're short of money. You'll have to go back to being a wage earner."
Upon hearing this, Huang Chengzhu glanced up at the roof and shook his head: "There are no cell phones, air conditioning, or Wi-Fi here..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Yimeng waved her hand and said, "Yes, yes, modern people can't stand this. They even have to bow and kneel down when they see someone important."
"Yes, the date is in three days. You'll stay here for the next few days."
"Okay, that's what I'm planning too. How are we going to get back? Can you give me a hint?"
Huang Chengzhu casually said, "I don't know the specifics, but I can sense when I'll be back. I might wake up after a nap and be back."
"OK then."
On the roof of the room, Nan Heng, dressed as Li Shiliu, and Shangguan He, still dressed in white, stood motionless, staring at each other.
As the conversation shifted to everyday topics, they got off the plane and hurried away.
As the faint sounds above faded into the distance, Huang Chengzhu subtly curled his lips into a smile.
She was about to go back, so it wouldn't hurt to let them know. She had promised to tell them when the time was right, and see, she hadn't lied.
Inside the underwater palace of Canjiangyue, Nanheng and Shangguan He sat facing each other, both pondering what they had just heard.
Because Song Yimeng frequently visits Huang Chengzhu, the two seem to have known each other for a long time. The key issue is that it's impossible to find out when they first started interacting.
Moreover, they all have aspects that are hard to understand. Because of the mechanism that the male lead must save the female lead when she is in danger, Nan Heng was forced to save her several times.
So even though he didn't have much interaction with Song Yimeng, he had been investigating her affairs.
Putting aside his previous uncontrollable behavior at the palace banquet, he never gave up trying to figure out the reasons behind these events.
Huang Chengzhu refused to see him the previous time, but she also told Shangguan He that she did know, but she couldn't say for the time being.
Is now the time? Nan Heng thought to himself, "Miss Cheng must have just discovered us. Now it's time for her to tell us the truth."
Shangguan Huan thought about it and agreed: "She's leaving, and if she doesn't say it now, she'll never have another chance. They're all leaving, and what she just said... it conveyed a lot of meaning."
Although they didn't quite understand many of what the two were saying, they knew that the two had many secrets.
Nan Heng stated bluntly, "Song Yimeng is not Song Yimeng; the two of them want to return to a place that doesn't belong here."
"Thinking back to my own experience of endless restarts at the beginning, their situation doesn't seem so unacceptable."
Shangguan He stroked his chin, looking quite interested: "I'm just curious about what kind of place they lived in before? It sounds like a very interesting place."
"You want to go with Miss Cheng? Or rather, elope with her?" Nan Heng's words were astonishing.
"Ahem, ahem, Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. I didn't say that." Shangguan He felt a little guilty. He had previously said that he wanted to go on adventures with her.
“I heard from Ah Long and Ah Hu that you often go to see them and drink with them. If you really have feelings for them, you can go and ask them if they will take you away.”
"Your Highness, are you willing to release them?" Shangguan He blurted out, then realized, "That's not what I meant. I was just asking."
"I'm going to have a chat with Miss Cheng. I'll sell you to her in exchange for what I want to know. I just don't know what your value is to her."
After Nan Heng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, intending to go find someone.
"What? How can my value be measured so casually?" Shangguan He chased after him.
He said that, but in his mind, he recalled the scenes from the time he met Huang Chengzhu.
She was also a little curious, and her heart tightened as she realized how much she cared about herself.

Huang Chengzhu wasn't surprised to see Nan Heng using his real identity to find him.
Based on the conversation they had just overheard and her behavior all along, they should be able to guess that she already knew about him.
