by DewdropTL — After washing his face and hair, Ji Linxi finally revealed his true appearance. Early in the morning, the prefectural secretary arrived at Ji Linxi's room. Following the Crown Prince’s instructions, the secretary was to register him as a "good status" (Liangji) citizen and enroll him in the county school. Once he was established as a linshan sheng (a scholarship student supported by the state), the secretary would no longer need to worry about him. A linshan sheng receives a small monthly stipend…

by DewdropTL — He should have a good, long talk with the Empress to ask what exactly the Crown Prince meant by this. Chu Yu, who disliked being touched, sat in the carriage wearing his new set of clothes. The carriage rolled steadily along the imperial road. His raven-black hair was tucked away in a hair crown, and with the rolling of the wheels, the jade tassels hanging at his chest swayed gently. He held a scroll of books in his hand, eyes cast downward, reading. They were already on the road, leaving Yong City…

by DewdropTL — Chu Yu lowered his eyes in contemplation. Ji Linxi took this opportunity to feast his eyes on the snowy skin, raven-black hair, soft pink lips, amber pupils, and slightly upturned corners of his beloved’s eyes. His gaze was burning with intensity. Yan Huai gave a cold sneer and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but Chu Yu glanced at him; he shut his mouth and turned his head away. Chu Yu seemed to be weighing his options. A moment later, he said in a soft, gentle voice, "In that case, Young…

by DewdropTL — As the cock crowed and the morning light broke, Ji Linxi arrived at the Risheng Courtyard, full of joy. He had expected to smoothly behold the "Beauty's" lotus-like face, but to his surprise, he learned that the Beauty had already taken his men to the Prefect’s office the night before, leaving Ji Linxi behind with instructions to be sent over once he woke up. The smile on his face instantly collapsed. "Young Master Xi, would you like to go now or a bit later?" asked the guard Chu Yu had left to…

by DewdropTL — "By the time I get to the capital, I’ll just wipe off this face and change my clothes—who would ever guess that this wretched, rat-like appearance is actually me, Ji Linxi?" Ji Linxi, who had been sprawled on the floor, felt like dying. He didn't mind making a fool of himself, but he minded doing it in front of the "Beauty." He looked back at the high doorsill and desperately wanted to tear that hazard out, throw it away, pour hot oil on it, and burn it to ash. Ji Linxi’s sudden return was…

by DewdropTL — The front hall. The guards and servants swarmed forward. Yan Huai, who had just sent out the three people, drew his sword, kicked away several guards who approached Chu Yu, and stood protectively in front of him. Prefect Song had already verified the conjecture in his heart through Yan Huai's actions. He squeezed through the crowd and rushed to Old Master Wang's side: "Old Master Wang! Quickly have them stop! This mustn't be done! This mustn't be done!" Old Master Wang, who was busy ordering…

by DewdropTL — In Yongcheng, Old Master Wang could be said to be the sky. Even the highest official in Yongcheng, Lord Prefect, had to be completely respectful to him, which gave Old Master Wang an illusion: that he could do whatever he wanted. If his Wang family really got sent to the Court of Judicial Review for doing such things, it would end in family ruin. At this moment, Old Master Wang felt incomparable regret for hosting these two noble young masters from the capital, and even more regret for believing that…

by DewdropTL — Hearing this sentence from Old Master Wang's mouth, Zhao Yun was also resentful to the extreme, her voice like a cuckoo weeping blood: "Your Old Master Wang's son is nothing but a villain who commits all kinds of evils in Yongcheng! Your wealth and property! All come from blood and sweat money squeezed out from the common people! You buy rice at low prices! When the rice is almost entirely bought up, you sell it at high prices for money! Pei! Your entire family are beasts, would I go to seduce a beast?!…

by DewdropTL — Seeing that the banquet was about to come to an end, Prefect Song, who had been constantly filled with anxiety, also slowly put his heart at ease. Just as he raised his wine cup to drink, a voice suddenly resounded outside. "What are you going to do?" "Daoist Master Chu, you cannot go in right now!" Old Master Wang frowned and looked toward the housekeeper: "Go quickly and see what has happened." The housekeeper had only just walked a few steps outside when Ji Linxi and Chang Xi pushed past the…

Ji Linxi uttered a word of thanks, quickly pushed open the door, and entered. With a creak, his back pressed against the door, and Ji Linxi could not wait to take out the ointment from his bosom. Holding it like this, he went to the bed, his eyes carefully admiring it. The ointment box body was already extremely…
