Chapter 12 Impatient



Luo Jiu finally succumbed to the system's tyranny. She silently raised her head and looked at Gu Muchen, saying:

"Who says I have no hobbies? I think Peking Opera is a masterpiece."

Hello, your Niu Gulu Shi Luo Jiu is now online.

Upon hearing this, Gu Muchen paused in his tea-drinking motion, then slammed the teacup onto the table with a loud thud.

"The Pear Garden? I had no idea. Does Your Majesty perhaps wish to hear a Peking Opera performance?"

Gu Muchen was extremely indifferent, his voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes seemed to be able to freeze people to death.

After a moment of silence, Gu Muchen curled the corners of his lips and said:

"Your Majesty, are you upset that I haven't chosen any concubines for you yet? Since Your Majesty is so impatient, then tomorrow at court, I will propose it to the Prime Minister, and I'm sure the Prime Minister will agree."

My goodness, the male lead's imagination is wild! He just mentioned opera, and he's already a fan. He even wants to choose concubines. Choose concubines? Meow meow meow? Doesn't that give him away?

Luo Jiu immediately backed down and said, "Uncle, why such a strong reaction? I just feel that our Great Qi has an open-minded culture and a profound cultural heritage. Pear Garden Opera is the best among them. Our ancestors always said that we should not forget our roots. Listening to opera can pass the time and also help us understand folk customs."

I really admire myself for being able to make up such nonsense.

"Hmph, opera, decadent music. If Your Majesty wants to pass the time, I think copying books will pass the time much better."

Since Your Majesty cannot understand this "Way of the Emperor," then copy it for me a hundred times. Since Your Majesty is so fond of traditional culture, as the ancients said, "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear." The more you copy, the more you will understand.

After saying that, he threw down his teacup and stormed off.

A hundred times. Luo Jiu slumped onto the stone table, her body limp. Looking at the thick book filled with classical Chinese characters, she could already foresee the days ahead spent copying until her hands were about to break.

【Master, master, if you complete the task, you'll receive a homework-free card! With this card, Mom won't have to worry about me not finishing my homework anymore.】

Waaaaah, you're really going to ruin me, 007. Look at how much the male lead is reacting, do you think I'll be able to see a play in three days?

-By the way, were there any opera troupes in the palace? Were there any touching love stories between emperors and opera singers?

【No, Master.】

-Didn't you say that the original owner's father was licentious and cruel to the people? How come he didn't even have a theatrical troupe, which is a must for a tyrannical emperor?

- Have any elders in the palace recently celebrated their birthdays? Please come out of the play and let's take a look.

[There are no elders left in your palace. After the late emperor's death, the original concubines were either forced to commit suicide or dismissed from the palace. Those of higher status have already gone to their sons' fiefdoms.]

Despairing.

【Master, who said you have to watch the play inside the palace? You can go outside too.】

Hmm? Meow meow meow! Good idea.

There's no time like the present, so let's do it today.

Seeing Luo Jiu, who had been sullenly slumped on the table, suddenly stand up and walk back to her dormitory with an excited expression, Yueying was completely bewildered. Had His Majesty suddenly come to a realization and taken to copying books?

"Moon Shadow, please change me into some comfortable clothes. I plan to leave the palace."

"Leave the palace! Your Majesty, you absolutely must not!" Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li, who had rushed over, looked anxious and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Oh?" Luo Jiu paused in changing her clothes, turned around, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "That old scoundrel, the Regent, is he perhaps restricting my personal freedom?"
