Chapter 65: Face Reading is Bone Reading
By the pond under the moonlight, sparse shadows slant across the shallow water.
At the sound of a cat's meow, Liu Qi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
She staggered, her body became unstable, and she fell backwards.
Just when she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong arms had already firmly supported her lower back.
A strange aroma of liquor, mixed with the body odor of a young boy, rushed towards Liu Qi's nostrils.
She twisted her slender waist and suddenly felt a hand pinching her soft spot.
"Oh! Your Excellency."
As Liu Qi sighed softly, Li Ji suddenly felt as if the young lady's body had been stripped of its skeleton.
He was about to hug the trembling waist tightly when Liu Qi's voice came:
"My Lord, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."
She then straightened up and was out of his arms.
The two people walked into a flower bush, and as the breeze passed by, bursts of flower fragrance suddenly wafted over.
Under the moonlight, Li Ji couldn't tell what kind of flowers they were, but they were still blooming on this late autumn night.
When I entered the inner room, the two maids were already taking a nap there.
As soon as they saw Li Ji coming in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Liu Qi took off his coat and said with a smile, "You all came to see Lord Li."
The two maids said with a giggle, "Hello, young lady."
Liu Qi helped Li Ji take off his outer robe, and a scent of a young girl wafted into his nose.
Li Ji couldn't help but reach out his hand, but the two maids stood there respectfully.
The young lady personally made a cup of scented tea for Li Ji. He pursed his lips and sniffed it with his nose.
The tea smells so good.
At this time, Liu Qi was seen circling around Li Ji. She thought that when he first heard the housekeeper say that an adult was coming, he thought it was an old man.
Especially since I heard that he could observe the clouds and weather and predict the future, he must be around 70 or 80 years old.
Liu Qi cried secretly several times because of this, thinking that this adult wanted to have sex with young girls, so she could only accept it.
To her surprise, this adult turned out to be a teenager close to her own age.
It has always been true that heroes emerge from youth .
When Li Ji saw the ladies surrounding him and looking at him, he wondered if this girl was a nymphomaniac.
Or have you always stayed in your boudoir and never seen the young man?
He was wondering, when suddenly he heard Liu Qi ask:
"Master Li, I heard from the housekeeper that you can read faces. Can you show me?"
At this time, the young lady had changed into an apricot-yellow tight woolen skirt, looking like a fairy from Penglai.
Li Ji then looked at the young lady carefully. Liu Qi was very generous and her big eyes were searching Li Ji's body.
The lady in front of me has plump skin, bright eyes, white teeth, and a mouth that seems to contain cinnabar.
The twin peaks are like the rising sun; the slender waist is like a boat floating on the West Lake.
Gazing at the autumn water, I see the moon reflected in the Three Pools of Yuhang; my black hair shines, this is the inkstone washing pool of the Wang family in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Li Ji couldn't help but exclaimed: "This girl must exist in heaven, and people in Xingyang City don't know about it."
His heart was wavering and he felt a little distracted, so he tried to calm his emotions.
He smiled and said, "Miss, when it comes to physiognomy, it's mainly about face reading. Face reading is actually about bone reading."
His eyes were still on Liu Qi, and he kept looking back and forth at the young lady.
"Looking at bones is inseparable from looking at meat."
After hearing this, Liu Qi actually started to chuckle.
"Sir, this is the first time I've heard of your physiognomy. How can we only judge a person's appearance based on ?"
Li Ji raised his right hand and kept twirling a few fingers.
He was like an experienced fortune teller, telling stories in a leisurely and cheerful manner.
There is a reason why we look at people and meat.
Meat can produce blood, and flesh can store bones.
The flesh should be plump but not excess, so that the body appears tall and slender; of course, it should not be too thin either, as being skin and bones is a sign of short life.
The flesh should be firm and full, with a resilient and naturally bouncy feel. A girl's skin is often described as being so soft that it will break at the touch of a finger.
If meat grows inside the bones, it means that the Yang is insufficient, and insufficient Yang is a sign of kidney deficiency.
When flesh grows outside of bones, it means that Yin is excessive. When Yin is excessive, the body will be weak and prone to disease.
There should not be too much meat wrapped around the bones, and of course there should not be too little bone.
If there are more flesh than bones, you will become obese and breathless, which are signs of approaching death.
The smell of the meat should be fragrant, the color of the meat should be warm, the meat should be white and round, and the skin should be delicate and smooth.
He suddenly stared at Liu Qi's cheek for a moment, then smiled and exclaimed:
"The lady's cheeks are like jade and as smooth as moss. Her complexion is white and rosy, which means that wealth and prosperity will come soon."
When Liu Qi heard this, her cheeks flushed and her eyes were filled with shyness. Her breasts rose and fell, and her breath was like a summer breeze.
The two maids couldn't hide their joy when they heard what Li Ji said.
They thought, the young lady has such a good life, and our lives were given by her, so it seems that we will also benefit from her.
At this time, the lady ordered:
"Xia He, go prepare a bowl of ginseng soup for the master. Let the master rest early."
The maid in the green jacket and skirt responded and turned to walk to the back room.
"Sir, it's warm inside, so please go sit in the inner room."
Li Ji's heart moved. It seemed that the prizes from this system were really considerate.
Who says the system doesn’t understand romance?
Who laments that rouge has been stained with dust?
Li Ji followed Liu Qi into the inner room, where the aroma of incense filled the air.
After a while, Xia He brought the ginseng soup. She tidied the young lady's bed and walked out of the inner room.
"Xia Yu, you go to bed first. I'll go over after the young lady falls asleep."
The maid named Xia Yu stood up, yawned, and brought a basin of hot water from the kitchen into the inner room.
When she came out, she said to Xia He:
"Sister He, please bring a bowl of scented tea to Lord Li. I'm going to sleep."
Xia He brought a cup of scented tea from the outer room and was about to enter the inner room when she suddenly heard the young lady scream, and then the lights went out.
She put the tea on the table outside and thought, the young lady is already asleep, so I'll take a nap first.
The next day.
Li Ji took advantage of the cool breeze and practiced the swallowing and exhaling technique on a vacant space beside the pond.
Inhale deeply and exhale slowly, inhale once and exhale three times; coordinate your hands and feet, and sink the Qi into your Dantian.
After practicing a set of combinations, he was sweating slightly.
He was just about to stop when suddenly, the housekeeper Liu Tong walked in.
"Butler, is there anything wrong?"
"Sir, Chief Li, General Shan, and General Qin are waiting at the gate. They said they have something to report."
Li Ji said hurriedly: "Let them wait for a moment, I will put on my coat and come over."
Liu Tong took the order and went out.
Li Ji came into the house, Xia He helped him wash up and put on his coat.
He walked into the inner room, looked at the beautiful body lying on the bed, and smiled in his heart.
"Let the young lady sleep well, and don't rush to wake her up. I don't think she will get out of bed until the afternoon."
Xia He was puzzled and asked with a smile: "Sir, did the young lady sleep very late?"
Li Ji had a barely noticeable smile on his face, thinking, it's more than just sleeping late!
He twisted the maid's face and replied with a smile: "She is tired."
When Xia He heard this, she asked in surprise, "What did you do? It's so strenuous and exhausting."
Li Ji thought, it's rare that Xia He has such a pure mind even though she is still young in love.
Just as he was about to speak, he turned around and saw Liu Tong standing in the wind waiting for him, so he quickly walked out of the Crescent Gate...
