Chapter 71 He did it on purpose



After the birds flew out of the sky above Qingxi Academy, they all dispersed and returned to their respective places.

Only one little bird went to the imperial city.

A bird landed on the window of Rong Chaoxi's bedroom.

When Rong Chaoxi saw this, he raised his arm that was as thin as a lotus root node.

A bird flew onto my arm.

One man and one bird, one babbling and the other chirping, they were having a very pleasant chat.

"The young lady is not only loved by flowers, plants and trees, but also by birds..." Luo Kui couldn't help but sigh.

Over the past six months, she discovered that the young lady seemed to be extraordinary.

She is like a little elf in the forest, and both animals and plants like her very much.

A while ago, a puppy ran into the house from somewhere and kept rolling around her, and would not leave unless the young lady petted it.

Another strange thing is.

The lady, the eldest daughter and the third young master are always talking in a weird way.

Even the stubborn Mingxia felt this way.

The lady has been stockpiling food recently. When asked why, she just said it would be of great use in half a year.

The eldest daughter did the same, pawning all her seldom-used jewelry, saying she needed the money for something important.

The Third Young Master cried and said he was very tired, but he refused to give up practicing martial arts with Commander Wang.

Every time I was about to give up, I kept muttering, "I can't turn into a pig, I can't turn into a pig..."

The only good ones are the general and the second young master.

The general was a bit weird to begin with, so it wouldn't be surprising if he became even more weird.

Apart from the fact that his complexion was getting better, he smiled more often, and became more gentle, everything else about the Second Young Master was the same as usual.

Apart from that, everything is fine and life goes on as usual.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will start preparing for this year's draft.

At the morning court session, the emperor interrupted the Minister of Revenue as soon as he said the word "selection".

"Cancel it immediately, and there will be no more auditions from now on." His tone was very firm.

He didn't want to be criticized by Rong Baichuan in private for being an old man eating young grass.

Rong Baichuan looked at the emperor and smiled with relief.

If you don’t indulge in women, you can still be good brothers in the future.

The emperor rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Some court officials were unhappy, and the former court and the harem were constantly involved.

They also planned to have their daughter favored to consolidate their position in the court!

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed..."

"No, what?" Rong Baichuan interrupted him impatiently before he could finish his words. "You think you can question His Majesty's decision?!"

"The emperor's words are final, how can he change them overnight? Especially since it's only been less than two breaths."

Court officials: ...

Do you want to see what you did at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet!

It's like the county magistrate is allowed to set fire but the common people are not allowed to light lamps!

Lord Zhao glanced at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty..."

Rong Baichuan interrupted him again, "Master Zhao, I heard that a stunningly beautiful courtesan has recently appeared in Zui Xiang Lou..."

Lord Zhao looked at him suspiciously.

What does he want to say?

"Lord Zhao has been very busy lately, going to the Ministry of Revenue every night. He said that he suddenly had an idea for the official business he had been clueless about during the day..."

As he spoke, Rong Baichuan approached Lord Zhao and said, "If I remember correctly, the Ministry of Revenue should be on Chengyang Street."

"But why did I see you on Fanghua Street yesterday? These two streets are one south and one north. Could it be that Lord Zhao has a lost brother..."

"That's nonsense!" Lord Zhao waved his sleeves and waved Rong Baichuan away. "I was in the mansion yesterday. How could you possibly see me on Fanghua Street? And there's no such thing as a fellow brother!"

He had only been there a few days ago, but he had not left the house yesterday. Rong Baichuan must be trying to trick him!

"Oh~, I remembered it wrong..." Rong Baichuan put his fingers together and knocked his head twice in frustration, "It was the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday..."

"Master Zhao, the late emperor issued a clear decree prohibiting those in public office from visiting places of alcohol and sex. You are knowingly violating this rule."

"Rong Baichuan, you are slandering me. I...I only went to Lianyue Tower to buy wine, and then I went to Fanghua Street..." Lord Zhao was a little lacking in confidence.

He did go there during those three days. Although he was in disguise, he was still recognized by people who knew him.

Therefore, I didn't dare to deny that I had never been there, so I had to change my target.

Fanghua Street is the most prosperous and lively street in Kyoto.

The best restaurants, wine shops, places for self-cultivation such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting in the city are all here.

Of course, the two largest dens of money-losing, the Wine and Drunkenness Tower and the Qianjin Pavilion, a gambling house, are also located here.

The wine shop is only separated from Yue Tower and Zui Xiang Tower by two alleys.

It is indeed a good place to hide your true destination.

but……

"But I've been in Lianyue Tower for the past three days to see off General Hua. How come I haven't seen you come in?" Rong Baichuan asked sincerely.

General Hua will be returning to the border tomorrow, so Rong Baichuan and several military officers drank together for three consecutive nights in Lianyue Tower.

"Yes." General Hua stepped forward and asked, "We've been here almost until the evening of the following three days, leaving just before curfew, and we haven't seen you since."

Although he didn't know why Rong Baichuan was targeting Lord Zhao, Hua Xiong had to get involved in the matter of making the civil servants unhappy.

"I'm just..."

Just as Lord Zhao opened his mouth to defend himself, Wang Zhen suddenly spoke up.

"How could I possibly see him in Lianyue Tower? I saw him enter Zuixiang Tower with my own eyes the day before yesterday, hiss..."

He still hasn't explained clearly the fact that he keeps a mistress outside. He is beaten by his wife every day at home. His face is swollen like a pig's head and his speech is unclear. Fortunately, I can barely understand what he says.

"I greeted him, but he ignored me, covered his face with a fan, and walked into Zui Xiang Lou through the side door."
