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 — Returning once again to the Junzi Pavilion, the glutinous rice and chickens he requested were ready. Ji Linxi acted with great solemnity, scattering a ring of glutinous rice around the courtyard. He then had the servants slaughter the chickens to collect three bowls of blood, which he sprinkled over the rice. "Bring me a sharp dagger," he said, his expression completely unchanging. Master Wang signaled, and a servant hurried to hand over a previously prepared dagger. Holding the dagger, Ji Linxi…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 35: Participating in the Provincial Exam The atmosphere grew briefly stagnant. Ji Linxi looked at Huai Xiuyong’s gloomy expression, and for a fleeting moment, felt a prick of guilt—though it vanished as quickly as smoke. From the dark look on Huai Xiuyong’s face, he gleaned the cause, and in his mind, he quickly reviewed his own recent behavior, immediately spotting the problem. As a student, his refusal of his teacher's kindness had been expressed with a chilling calmness. Such…

by DewdropTL — He did not die; he thought of every possible way to survive, all for the purpose of one day living the life of a man above men. A kingfisher perched on a tree branch, hearing the sound of the door opening and seeing people walking out and in, quickly flapped its wings and flew away. Inside the Risheng Courtyard, after Eunuch Chen entered the room, he heard a command from his Prince telling him to fetch a new set of clothes. By the time he retrieved a new outfit from the luggage they brought, Yan Huai…

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 — If this happened to a normal person, they would certainly be ashamed to death, trying desperately to cover it up without daring to show the slightest hint. They would only spit on themselves in their hearts: So embarrassing, utterly disgraceful! What kind of beast are you, to have such feelings for a strange man? Damn you, damn you to hell! Ji Linxi, on the other hand, wished he could just throw himself over there, caress the soft hands of this peerless, peony-like beautiful young master, and put on a…

by DewdropTL — Whatever Ji Linxi did, he demanded a return for it. Thanks to this freezing winter, Ji Linxi’s movements could be described as incredibly smooth. In this kind of weather, many people huddled under their blankets to sleep. Even the servants on duty would look for a warm place to hide from the cold wind, or lazily shrink themselves into the padded collars of their jackets, closing their eyes to doze off. Wandering back and forth through the Wang family mansion, although Ji Linxi was shaking so…

PGR CH26

by DewdropTL — The Empress left the Eastern Palace shortly after her arrival, taking Chen Deshun with her. She found the Crown Prince foolish and impulsive for offending Minister Wang, and she blamed his personal eunuch—Chen Deshun—for failing in his duty to advise and restrain the Prince's excesses. Sending Chen Deshun to the Prince’s side was meant to exert control, not to indulge him. As the Empress departed, Chu Yu pinched the corner of his sleeve, eyes downcast, and stood up. The palace staff swarmed back…

by DewdropTL — When Ji Linxi returned to the Wang estate, the other Daoist priest had already arrived. The old Daoist put on quite a show of extravagance; he brought four or five young disciples, wore magnificent Daoist robes, and was currently speaking with Master Wang. He stroked his white beard repeatedly with his hand, a horsetail whisk resting in the crook of his arm. "Daoist Chu, you've returned. Come, sit. Someone, pour tea for Daoist Chu." Sigh... Sitting in his chair, Ji Linxi was still in a daze, his…

by DewdropTL — Under the arrangement of the beautiful young master, Ji Linxi changed into a servant's clothes and returned to the place where he lived. Chang Xi dismissed the people in the courtyard. 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…
