The next day, when Xu Chun met Fengxiang Guards again, everyone was solemn and respectful in front of him, no longer as casual as before. Xu Chun found an opportunity to quietly ask Chunxi, "Didn't get punished, did you?" Chunxi lowered his voice and said to him, "No, we just listened to rules all night long. Then we had to memorize them all and write them down every day. If there was any mistake, we had to start over. Twenty strokes for the first offense, they said it was because you pleaded for…- 643.5 K • Completed
- When Prince Yu entered and saw Xie Yi holding incense sticks to pay his respects to the late emperor, his heart skipped a beat. In the past, on such important occasions when His Majesty came to burn incense, he would invite him to preside over it. Today, His Majesty had come in unannounced and directly proceeded to offer incense. This was truly strange. Moreover, they had just held a grand memorial service during the Ghost Festival; how could there be another solemn ceremony on Mid-Autumn? He glanced…

Chapter 35: The Engagement Night Shen Hechuan was in the same mood now as when he saw Zhao Lei asking Qiao Le for his WeChat last time. He knew Qiao Le was charming, but he hadn’t expected that aside from guarding against outsiders, he’d also have to guard against family. He looked at the two of them, his gaze darker than before. “You two are sitting at the same table?” Su Qiao didn’t know their relationship. Seeing Shen Hechuan looking at her and Qiao Le, she even joked cheerfully,…- 182.5 K • Completed
- Chapter 36 – The Ultimate Tonic After Qiao Le said that, the air fell into silence, with a faint hint of humor hanging in it. Shen Hechuan’s eye twitched slightly. With a blank expression, he said, “The wool still comes from the sheep. You really know how to do business.” Earning money from Shen Hechuan just to compensate Shen Hechuan—how is that not just taking wool from the sheep’s back? Qiao Le couldn’t help laughing at himself after hearing that, but since the timing wasn’t…

- After Li Meiyai paid his respects to Xie Yi, Xie Yi indeed pointed at the memorial he had submitted earlier that day and asked him several questions about certain laws, and pointed out areas that needed improvement, instructing him to revise it upon his return. Li Meiyai noticed that Xie Yi seemed in good spirits, so he cautiously pulled out the petition from his sleeve. "Your Majesty, today, while Your Majesty was entering the palace, I saw commoners blocking the carriage to hand over a petition. It…

- On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month in the thirty-year reign of Yuanhui, the Silla envoy met with the emperor to seek aid. In just a few days, the Japanese forces had swiftly advanced, and four of Silla's eight provinces had fallen. This matter did not particularly attract the attention of the court, after all, the Ten Thousand Longevity Festival was approaching, and the small movements of a distant vassal state did not garner much concern. Only the Grand Secretariat and the Ministry of War took…

- Shen Mengzhen indeed looked weary. Upon seeing Xu Chun, he asked, "I heard you were injured? How's your recovery?" He sized up Xu Chun, who was flushed with vitality, and nodded. "It seems you're recovering well. I've been worried about you for several days." Xu Chun replied, "How has Master been? I heard about your promotion! Congratulations, Master! Also, my mother mentioned that you're engaged now? When's the wedding date? What double happiness, what a grand occasion." Shen Mengzhen's exhaustion…

- Xu Chun picked up his brush and, following Li Meiyai's suggestion, casually sketched a few strokes of a lotus flower swaying in the wind and half a lotus leaf. A servant promptly took it away. Most of the other guests were writing poems, but the other Daoist simply sat there unmoved. Soon, the inner chamber's pearl curtain rustled slightly, and a girl with two buns sauntered out. She wore a pale yellow gauze blouse, her features still youthful, and she bowed deeply, "Esteemed gentlemen, your elegant…

- Li Meiya soon met the Emperor. Kneeling there, he could hardly believe that merely meeting with the Prince's late concubine had drawn the attention of the Imperial Guard, and now even the Emperor himself was interrogating him. Xie Yi hurriedly walked in, wearing his dark dragon robe. With a sweep of his robes, he sat down, glanced at Li Meiya, and asked, "Speak. I have no patience." Li Meiya was bewildered. "Your Majesty has been sending people to follow Chu Wei?" Xie Yi sneered. "I'm…

- Xu Chun slept deeply, and when he woke up, the sun was high and bright outside his window, well past noon. He asked Wufu about the Emperor's schedule and learned that the Emperor had already finished his court session, seeing that Xu Chun was still asleep, and didn't disturb him. Instead, he returned to the Imperial Study for a brief rest and then summoned the Grand Secretariat for a meeting. Xu Chun felt uneasy, asking Wufu about the events at court and what happened to Minister Li. Wufu replied, "I…
