I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

Still wrote it out

Chapter 66. A sneak attack?

Leaving the teahouse, Keqing walked up the marble steps to the Yujing Terrace.

When looking back at Feiyunpo, I could still see Zhong Li, a guest official from Wangsheng Hall, still playing with birds in the teahouse, looking very leisurely.

Keqing had witnessed Zhong Li's cultural level before, so she was not surprised that she occasionally uttered some ancient words.

Although she looked to be in her early twenties at most, her conversation and temperament were more stable than those of a person who had lived for more than a thousand years in two lifetimes.

Just like some people only need to sleep for one hour, this is probably the difference between people.

After the conversation with Zhong Li, Keqing also gained a lot.

Although the emperor's edict came suddenly and inexplicably, it could not become an obstacle to her progress.

As Zhong Li said, if the emperor really recognized her qualities, then he would understand what she was about to do.

Looking back at the Yiyan Palace, a huge building was suspended in the air, hanging above the entire Liyue Harbor like a bright moon in the daytime.

That is the Qun Yu Pavilion, the Moon-covering Palace of Tianquan.

Even though Keqing has been there hundreds of times since becoming one of the Seven Stars, she still feels that this group of Jade Pavilions is too high-profile.

Why not use this money to do something more meaningful?

But that was other people's money, so Keqing was just complaining in her heart and she wouldn't really care about it.

Shaking her head, Keqing came to Yujing Terrace, walked through Yuehai Pavilion, came to the Yiyan Palace next to it, and then walked in front of a middle-aged man who looked like a butler.

"Master Yuheng."

When the man saw Keqing, he immediately bowed his head and saluted.

"Did your Excellency just come back?"

"Yeah, I just came back this morning." Keqing nodded.

Qixing was very familiar with this guide of the Qun Yu Pavilion, because in order to reach the Qun Yu Pavilion, they needed his permission before they could take the floating platform to fly to the heavenly palace.

"Ah, is your Excellency in such a hurry?" The guide looked surprised. It was not even noon yet, which meant that Lady Keqing did not rest after returning to Liyue and came here directly.

Keqing nodded: "I have something to discuss with Ningguang."

"Since you have something important to do, I will not waste your time. Come, you are invited."

Under the guidance of the guide, Keqing stood on the green floating platform. Then, after a slight movement, the floating platform carried her slowly into the sky.

The breeze blew her clothes and hair, and the whole picture of Liyue Harbor gradually came into Keqing's sight.

Looking down, you can still see the teahouse on Feiyunpo.

Zhong Li seemed to be talking to the boss at this time. The boss was a little excited, but then Zhong Li handed the birdcage to the boss and said a few words. The boss nodded helplessly.

Although unlike Mondstadt, the wind in the harbor is not as gentle and does not bring the whispers of all things.

But Keqing could still tell that Zhong Li must have forgotten to bring money and pawned the birdcage to the boss.

I didn't expect that the knowledgeable and calm woman also had such a side.

Shaking her head, Keqing turned and looked towards the Jade Pavilion.

At this time, she had already flown to the front of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

After walking down the floating platform and arriving at the Qun Yu Pavilion, a woman wearing glasses came up to her.

After seeing Keqing, the woman was also surprised: "Ah? It's Lady Keqing, why are you here?"

The person in front of him was the secretary of the Qun Yu Pavilion, who was also Ningguang's follower.

Because Keqing often comes to the Qun Yu Pavilion, she is quite familiar with Keqing.

"Is she here?" Keqing asked, "I have something important to discuss with her."

"Master Ningguang? Ah, the master is here, but... the master is..."

Before she could finish, Keqing passed by her and walked towards the door of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

As a "great undertaking" that she had spent a huge amount of money on and had started preparing for before she became a Seven Star, the Jade Pavilion was a spiritual symbol for Ningguang and the perfect home in her heart.

So unlike the other seven stars or most ordinary people, they basically sleep on the ground.

Ningguang lives in the Jade Pavilion most of the time, and sometimes she gets interested in something, such as playing chess.

Sometimes I stay up all night, which causes me to wake up late.

Today, Keqing came to the Jade Pavilion, and the little follower looked surprised, which means that Ningguang didn’t know about her return to Liyue yet.

It was obvious that she was sleeping in again.

After entering the pavilion, Keqing frowned slightly.

Because she smelled the scent of alcohol, and it was strong alcohol.

Walking along the spiral staircase towards the Qun Yu Pavilion, Keqing met the other two followers, Bai Wen Bai Xiao.

They were also very surprised to see Keqing, and when Keqing asked where Ningguang was, the two little followers pointed to the northwest direction with a guilty look on their faces.

It was a gorgeous gilded door, which led to Ningguang's bedroom.

Walking down the corridor to the bedroom, Keqing knocked on the door, but received no response.

Then she tried to push it and it opened easily.

After entering the room, Keqing saw a bedroom with an extremely elegant interior compared to its magnificent exterior.

There were no fancy eye-catching pearls or jade, only some sandalwood furniture and an ordinary wooden bed.

The silver-haired woman was now lying on the bed with her eyes closed, wandering in her dreams.

Although the interior of the bedroom is very different from the exterior decoration, this is not Ningguang's way of saving money. Keqing had already asked her why the bedroom was decorated so simply.

The answer was very simple. The furniture made by the retired carpenter master of Qingce Manor was much more expensive than those inlaid with gold and jade, and it was more comfortable to sleep in.

Everyone thought Ningguang was sleeping on Mora, and in fact, it was true.

It’s just that Mora is too uncomfortable, so Ningguang replaced it with custom-made furniture that is more expensive than Mora of the same size.

For example, the bedside table is worth 100,000 Mora, which is almost the annual gross income of an ordinary Liyue family.

Even the slippers beside the bed were made of snake grass from Sumeru and were always cool, and they cost two hundred thousand.

Ningguang’s first principle when purchasing items is to only buy expensive ones, without any need to think or compare. It is as simple as a slime’s thinking.

This is not Keqing's slander, Ningguang said so herself.

"Slept so hard?"

Keqing knocked on the door with quite a loud noise, and she didn't deliberately lower her footsteps.

But Ningguang was still lying on the bed as if she was unconscious. If it weren't for the golden silk quilt rising and falling slightly with her breathing, Keqing might have thought she was dead.

He tilted his head to look at the table in the room. There was a chessboard on it, and next to the chessboard there was an upside-down wine glass.

And under the table there were more than a dozen wine bottles.

Not only did he play chess all night, but he also drank so much alcohol.

No wonder I've been sleeping till now.

"Hey, wake up."

Keqing shouted to Ningguang.

The person on the bed did not respond. The sun outside was rising higher and higher. It was almost noon, but Ningguang was still sleeping soundly.

Keqing shook her head. Her time was very precious and it was impossible for her to wait for Ningguang to wake up naturally.

In this case, we can only adopt a general strategy.

The so-called "general strategy" is also very simple, which is for Keqing to wake her up.

Walking to the bed, Keqing slowly stretched her finger to her face, and then the lightning element in her body suddenly surged, and a subtle purple electric light leaped on her index finger.

"Humph."

A hint of cold smile appeared in Keqing's purple eyes.

But just as she was about to touch Ningguang's fair and tender cheek, the corners of Ningguang's mouth, who was originally sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly curled up slightly.

Then a topaz as big as a sandbag suddenly fell from the sky and hit Keqing directly on the forehead.

"Boom!"

“Ouch!” Keqing cried out in pain.

"You! You're launching a sneak attack?!"

Chapter 67. I heard you broke off the engagement

"Ah...uh..."

Ningguang opened her eyes lazily and yawned.

"A sneak attack? What sneak attack?" Ningguang asked slowly, her face still showing the tiredness of having just woken up.

Keqing got up from the ground, then took the sandbag-sized topaz and angrily thrust it in front of her face.

"What's this?!"

"Wow, it's a gift! Keqing, you didn't tell me that you prepared a gift when you returned to Liyue!" Ningguang instantly came out of her dazed state, her scarlet eyes full of surprise.

This is obviously an attempt to fish in troubled waters and get away with it.

If it were the same as in the past, Keqing would have confronted her directly and debated with her with a sneer.

But this time she came to the Qun Yu Pavilion not because she was bored, but because she had something serious to say, so Keqing had to let her go for the time being.

"Were you drinking with that pirate leader again?" Keqing asked with a frown.

“There’s nothing I can do. Some things can only be said over a drink.” Ningguang stretched lazily. “Besides, she is a very good ally for us.”

Then Ningguang lifted the quilt, and a body wearing only a white silk pajamas appeared in Keqing's eyes.

Although it was normal to wear only pajamas, when Ningguang got out of bed, her white and slender legs were exposed. With her hair disheveled at this time, Lord Tianquan looked like an unguarded young girl.

Perhaps 99% of people have never seen the appearance of Liyue Seven Stars Lord Tianquan. Even if they have seen her, they would suspect that they are hallucinating. But if they really think that she is a defenseless pure white girl in her prime, they are wrong.

Even a cautious Keqing has fallen into her hands more than once or twice. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be sold out by her and still help her count the money.

At this time, Keqing also understood why the three little followers looked guilty and why she was ambushed.

It's because Ningguang is not unaware that she has returned to Liyue. She has known about it for a long time. She just pretended like this for the prank of sneak attack and let her followers cooperate with her to trap Keqing.

This is something only a three-year-old would do. Keqing doesn’t even know what’s so fun about it.

"I'll go out first. Hurry and get dressed." Keqing said with a frown.

"Don't you have something important to do?" Ningguang asked doubtfully.

After Ningguang said this, Keqing remembered that it took Ningguang a lot of time to wash and dress after getting up.

There were several times before when she came to Qun Yu Pavilion to discuss official business with Ningguang, but Ningguang was sleeping in. Then she, the great Yuheng Star, waited outside the door for an hour, until her legs were sore from standing, before Ningguang finished dressing.

It was obviously impossible to ask her to wait for another hour today.

"Well, as long as you're not cold."

“Don’t worry, there is a temperature control system in the Qun Yu Pavilion. I won’t catch a cold.” Ningguang said with a smile.

Keqing glanced at her: "It's not like I care about you."

"I didn't say you cared about me."

If they continued talking, they would fall into a nesting doll cycle, so Keqing took the initiative to shut up.

She walked to the table, cleaned up the chessboard, wine glasses, fruit shells, etc. quickly and efficiently, and then sat aside.
