At the time of Si, Hua Qingcheng followed the instructions of the Supervisor and walked out of Mingde Tower, and then followed the signs all the way to the depths of the backyard of the Imperial College.
However, the more Hua Qingcheng walked, the more she felt something was wrong. She had already walked for a whole cup of tea, but she still didn't see the piano room that the Supervisor mentioned, which was a few hundred meters away from Mingde Building.
Just when Hua Qingcheng was about to give up and turn back, she finally saw a signpost ahead that said "Piano Room." After a moment's thought, Hua Qingcheng continued forward, following the signpost. After a short while, she turned into a small courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, Hua Qingcheng found it to be a very quiet and elegant place, with a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves in the courtyard. Taking light steps, Hua Qingcheng strolled around the courtyard.
However, when Hua Qingcheng pushed open the door labeled "Piano Room," she saw not a piano class, but a large room. Furthermore... within the room was a large, steamy bathtub, and inside sat a handsome man with disheveled hair, bathing with a look of contentment on his face.
Seeing someone push open the door, the man in the bath looked up at the door. After seeing Hua Qingcheng's face clearly, he raised his hand and closed the door with his palm power.
When someone replaced the plaque and signpost of Anxiang Pavilion outside the yard just now, Bai Yuheng, who was bathing in the room, had already noticed it, but he wanted to see what tricks the person behind the scenes was playing, so he let it go.
When Bai Yuheng saw Hua Qingcheng's face, he immediately understood. He was afraid that the person behind this was coming for the princess of Laifeng Kingdom, and he had unfortunately become the knife in someone else's hand, the "knife" to "kill with a borrowed knife."
"Who are you? Why did you trespass into the courtyard where I live?" Bai Yuheng pretended to be ignorant and asked Hua Qingcheng who was locked outside the door.
"I am Nalan Qingcheng, a student in Class D of the Dizi Division. I was about to go to the piano room for class, but unexpectedly I stumbled into the teacher's courtyard. It seems someone deliberately lured me here."
Hua Qingcheng smiled slightly.
I just don't know what the person behind this is trying to do? To ruin her reputation and brand her as a "promiscuous" Imperial College? Also, why is this person inside taking a bath in broad daylight?
"So it's Her Royal Highness. My name is Bai Yuheng. This is the west-facing backyard of the Imperial College. This area is where the teachers stay. The qin room Her Royal Highness is looking for is to the east."
While Bai Yuheng was speaking, he had already gotten out of the bathtub. He used his inner strength to dry the water off his body, quickly dressed himself, and opened the door.
Hua Qingcheng then saw a handsome man in his early twenties, dressed in white and holding a jade flute, walking out of the room.
His eyebrows were heroic, his eyes were like bright stars, but the light in his eyes was cold and aloof, as if nothing could touch him. At this moment, the handsome man, having just bathed, still had long black hair, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves.
"Master Bai, I apologize for the offense. Farewell!"
Hua Qingcheng bowed to Bai Yuheng and was about to leave, but he stopped her unexpectedly.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid... it's too late. I suspect that both the front and back gates of Anxiang Pavilion have been blocked by people, waiting to catch you and me red-handed in our illicit affair."
Bai Yuheng turned the jade flute in his hand and smiled nonchalantly.
As if to confirm Bai Yuheng's words, at this moment, the doors of the front and back yards of Anxiang Pavilion were suddenly knocked.
"Master Jijiu, someone saw a girl from Class D not only skipping classes but also sneaking into Master Bai's courtyard. What are her intentions?"
At the main gate of Anxiang Pavilion, the Right Supervisor, who had received the report from the servant, was reporting to a middle-aged woman with an elegant temperament.
The man, about thirty-four or thirty-five, was wearing a lilac-colored, wide-sleeved gown with a crane pattern. He wore his hair in a single, spiral bun with a jade hairpin tucked into it. This man was none other than Ruan Suhe, the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy of Laifeng State.
Yesterday, Ruan Suhe, who was giving lectures in another place, received a message via carrier pigeon saying that the grooms of the Imperial College had fed the horses hallucinogenic mushrooms and almost injured Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. She had no choice but to interrupt her lectures and rushed back to the Imperial College today.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Suhe had barely entered the Imperial College when she received a report from the Right Supervisor that a female student was engaging in promiscuity within the academy. Ruan Suhe, always a man of respect for rites and moral principles, could not tolerate such unhealthy practices. So, she personally came to investigate.
"Master Bai, please open the gate."
Seeing that the guard knocked on the door but there was no response, Ruan Suhe shouted in person.
"Little Allure~"
Han Yichen, who was lost in the Imperial College, wandered around in the backyard and finally found the piano room where the students in Class D were having classes, but Hua Qingcheng was not there.
Seeing this, Han Yichen had no choice but to leave the piano room and continue searching. However, he met a middle-aged woman on the way. She had a sullen face and was leading a group of guards who were going to capture the female students of the "licentious" academy with murderous intent.
Driven by curiosity, Han Yichen arrived at the Anxiang Pavilion where everyone was going, but unexpectedly saw his young wife here.
"Achen, why are you here?" Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw Han Yichen suddenly appear.
"If I don't come, do you want to have 'Xiao Qingqing' and 'Xiao Xiaochen' with him?" Han Yichen glanced unkindly at Bai Yuheng, who was standing aside and looked like a decent person with a nonchalant expression.
"Achen, don't talk nonsense. He is a teacher at the Imperial College. I was deliberately misled here. We don't know each other." Looking at this jealous third husband, Hua Qingcheng was a little bit amused.
"The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Watch him take a bath a few more times and you will know him!" Han Yichen hummed left and right, as if the young master was very angry and didn't want to coax me.
