Bonus Chapter 1: Thrilling
When Su Yan first arrived in the capital, he would sneak into Ye Panjiu's house every night by scaling walls and rooftops.
Before dawn, he scaled the walls and rooftops to return to the Su residence, then took a carriage to the palace for the morning court session.
He actually slept more than usual because he was afraid of disturbing Ye Panjiu's sleep, so he deliberately postponed some matters and handed them over to His Majesty and his subordinates.
Actually, he should have done this a long time ago, but he was just worried and afraid that something would happen if he didn't keep an eye on things.
The Ye family occasionally bumped into them at night, but pretended not to know anything about it.
Only Sun asked him bluntly, "Why are you being so secretive? Everyone in the family knows, don't they all call you brother-in-law?"
Su Yan's face was stiff, and he didn't dare to move.
Sun suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, this is more exciting, right? Never mind, I didn't see that."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. When he entered Ye Panjiu's room, Ye Panjiu was still awake, holding a book and leaning against the wall reading.
Upon seeing him, she raised an eyebrow.
The word "exciting" suddenly flashed through Su Yan's mind, making him feel uneasy.
"What's wrong? I think I just heard my second sister-in-law's voice?"
"..."
Su Yan quickly took off his clothes and crawled into her bed, his movements too practiced.
She then set her book aside and blew out the candle.
He reached out and put his arm around her waist, then lay down directly on his back.
Ye Panjiu blinked. Why was this person in such a hurry to fall asleep?
We usually chat for a bit.
She wanted to sit up and take off her clothes, but she was afraid of the cold, so she didn't dare to be without her clothes on as she leaned against the bed.
Su Yan had already started to undress her.
"It's okay, I can do it myself."
"I'm more skilled than you."
"There's no rush," Ye Panjiu refused.
"I'm so anxious, I'm so eager for it, the spring night is so short."
Ye Panjiu brushed his hand away, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not short."
When she arrived in the capital, she refused all invitations, including those to the Ye family.
She dislikes all social interactions that are purposeful.
Su Yan was not discouraged when his hand was brushed away. He propped his head up and looked at her in the darkness.
"My second sister-in-law just said that I'm hiding it, since everyone in the family knows."
Ye Panjiu turned to him and asked, "And then?"
"Before I could explain that I was afraid of disturbing my family, she said she knew and that it would be more exciting."
Ye Panjiu: "..."
Su Yan shifted his body and pressed closer, "It does seem more exciting..."
Ye Panjiu blocked his face with her hand, "Don't believe everything you hear, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Su Yan was like a leech; no matter how many times you tried to push him away, he would stick back on.
With two hands that can start fires everywhere, sleeping soundly is out of the question.
The following is a brief summary of over 100,000 words of exciting content; I'm sure you can imagine even more!
After a few days, Ye Panjiu's back started to ache terribly.
She would unconsciously rub her lower back all day long, and Mrs. Sun, being an experienced woman, understood immediately.
"Is your dog so fierce?" she asked quietly.
Ye Panjiu glanced at her, "It's all your fault, why are you trying to stir things up?"
Sun was taken aback. "Men who haven't had sex in a long time are just too easily provoked. What I said is nothing."
Ye Panjiu looked at her without saying anything, only rubbing her waist.
When night fell, Su Yan discovered that Ye Panjiu had locked the door from the inside.
There was also a note on the door that read, "There's an empty room next door."
The meaning is self-evident: go sleep in the room next door.
Su Yan softened his voice, "Pan Jiu, I know your back aches. I specially asked the imperial physician for some ointment. Let me massage it for you."
Ye Panjiu lay with her eyes closed, ignoring him.
She'll get better slowly if you don't let him in.
Su Yan tried a different approach, pleading and persuading, but Ye Panjiu was determined to sleep in separate rooms.
Finally, having no other option, Su Yan entered through the roof.
He immediately held up three fingers and declared, "I swear I'll never mess with you again!"
Ye Panjiu then lay back down and let him start massaging her waist.
The pressure was just right, and the massage felt very comfortable. I gradually fell asleep.
Ye Panjiu's life was peaceful, with occasional ripples, but she lived it beautifully.
Whatever difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, she will gladly accept them.
She was grateful for the extra life she had.
Side Story 2: Leaving Home After High School
Ye Ming obtained the Central Asian Yuan in May, and the Ye family then set off for the capital.
As a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial examination), one is only two steps away from the imperial court. Passing the metropolitan examination makes one a Gongshi (a successful candidate in the provincial examination), and entering the palace examination allows one to be examined by His Majesty and have their Jinshi (successful candidate in the imperial examination) confirmed.
This year's provincial examination was held in two sessions due to Shengping's ascension to the throne, in order to recruit more talented people and increase the proportion of officials from humble backgrounds in the court.
A new emperor brings a new court.
However, there was only one imperial examination held in the capital, scheduled for the following spring, which was called the Spring Examination.
Bai Zhiyuan has already distanced himself from the court and naturally has no desire to return to the capital. If he were to get involved again, he would risk ruining his reputation in his later years, which would be highly inappropriate.
When Ye Ming was in Shuzhou, he returned to Bailu Academy to discuss this matter with his master.
"My dear disciple, you love reading so much. Do you understand the saying, 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles'?" Bai Zhiyuan stroked his white beard with a kind smile.
Unlike the last county examination, this time his eyes clearly showed admiration and pride.
Ye Ming nodded, "The book represents one person's perspective, but on the road there are millions of people, and the landscape is endless."
Bai Zhiyuan smiled, "If that's the case, then go. I've been teaching you for half a year, the longest I've ever taught you."
As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the rest of the journey is up to you."
Ye Ming frowned and lowered his head.
Six months is neither a long nor a short time.
Because he always had a book in his hand, he devoted almost all of the past six months, except for eating and sleeping, to studying, so his academic progress was rapid.
