Zhao Kai met Cen Ang at the emperor's banquet for that year's new scientific students; he was slightly tipsy at the time.
A group of women in pink palace attire walked over from a distance.
Cen Ang walked at the front, his chin slightly raised, his phoenix eyes looking even more upturned, making people want to stay away.
The key point is that the woman who was leading the attack still had a few drops of blood on her face.
"Who is this palace maid? Why is she making such a grand entrance?" Some students asked curiously from the side.
Among these newly appointed scholars were many scions of prominent families in the capital, and several of them answered:
"You don't know, do you? She is the head maid of the Crown Prince's residence. In the future, she will be ranked third in the palace. Why shouldn't she have a grand presence?"
"Why is there blood on your face?"
"I heard that this aunt is ruthless. Sometimes when the Ministry of Justice can't get prisoners to talk, they call her over to help. She should have just returned from the Ministry of Justice now."
Seeing Cen's imposing aura, Zhao Kai couldn't help but shrink back. Then, glancing at him again, he saw blood on Cen's face and took another step back.
But those eyes never left Cen Ang's figure.
Aunt Cen was skilled and naturally noticed that someone was watching her. So she turned around and saw Zhao Kai, who was hiding behind his colleagues, and gave a cold laugh.
How dare you even look at her?
Be a coward.
Zhao Kai didn't know why, but his eyes wouldn't obey his brain.
Then, in the middle of the night that same day, I dreamed of Cen Ang.
It wasn't a good dream.
I dreamt that I was tied up in the Ministry of Justice's prison, and the person who was executing me was Cen Ang. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several days.
But Zhao Kai was a scholar and knew a lot about romantic matters between men and women.
Therefore, the third-ranking scholar did not believe that the psychological trauma was too great, which led to his dream.
She believed that she had fallen in love with Cen Ang at first sight.
Fortunately, I was a third-ranking scholar in the imperial examinations and worked in the Hanlin Academy. Every day I could see that stern-faced girl strolling around the palace, bustling about in a lively manner.
“Aunt Cen…”
That day, Zhao Kai stopped Cen Ang, wanting to give her a love poem he had written.
The girl stopped, turned around to look at him, and asked:
"What is it?"
His voice was cold and somewhat inhuman.
The third-ranking scholar shyly reached into his sleeve, pulled out the love poem, and handed it to Cen Ang.
"This is... for you."
Cen Ang took the letter, opened it immediately, and quickly scanned it.
Then the letter was returned to Zhao Kai.
The third-ranking scholar thought that Cen Ang disliked him or even felt offended, so he turned around and left.
But to be honest,
Aunt Cen...
He can recognize characters and can also recite some poems.
I can recite the Three Character Classic and the Analects.
but……
Zhao Tanhua's writing is quite good, but she didn't understand it.
She thought the moon and all that was just something for her to appreciate, and then whisper in the Crown Princess's ear so she could take the opportunity to get promoted.
Zhao Kai was also a little confused. Over the years, he had never seen a love poem being broken up in person, either in books or in real life.
Let's put this matter aside for now.
A few days later, Zhao Kai heard his colleagues talking about Cen Ang again while he was handling official business.
"Hey, over the years, countless girls in the palace have tried to marry into higher social classes, so why does our Crown Prince only have one Crown Princess?"
Even within the Hanlin Academy, gossip was plentiful.
"Oh my, just the sight of that Aunt Cen from the palace standing there makes so many palace maids' legs go weak. Going to the Crown Prince's backyard? Are they out of their minds?"
"Of course there is! You don't know, do you? The day before yesterday, a young lady from a noble family was secretly flirting with the Crown Prince."
"What happened? Tell me more."
"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess went out to play, I think they went to a hot spring resort, and they brought several palace maids with them, including Aunt Cen."
"Then the young lady seemed to say that her carriage was stuck in the mud and she wanted to travel with the Crown Prince and the others. Our Crown Princess agreed, and then the young lady from the noble family started talking to the Crown Prince after she got into the carriage."
"As for what she said, we don't know, but in the end Aunt Cen got angry."
"Let her be angry, what else can she do?"
"Tsk, let me continue."
"Then the young lady from the noble family was interrupted. That night, she was unwilling to give up, so she went directly to the Crown Prince's study while the Crown Princess was soaking in the hot spring."
"Wow, you've got some nerve?"
"Isn't that right? She thought Aunt Cen wasn't there, but who knew she was waiting in the Crown Prince's study. She kicked the girl out on the spot."
"Then what?"
"What kind of life do you guys lead? You don't even know about such a big event in the capital?" the gossipmonger retorted.
“We don’t have a hot spring resort at home. Do you think everyone has a good father like you?”
"Don't interrupt, keep going!"
"Then that very night, Aunt Cen took the girl to the Emperor and Empress, and also brought the girl's biological father over. In front of the two emperors, she asked the girl's biological father if he could discipline his child. If he couldn't, she would help him. If he could discipline her well, the matter would be over. If he couldn't, she would go home and slap the girl's biological father."
"..."
"That's a really ruthless move. If you're shameless, I'll beat up your dad. Let's see if you'll still have the nerve to stay at home."
"That's right, with methods like that, who would dare to go?"
"There are plenty, but they can't be told. Aunt Cen has taken care of them all. So I advise you to avoid those two palace maids next to the Crown Princess. Don't think I can't tell that you guys have feelings for Aunt Hua."
"Not even Aunt Hua?"
The person gossiping felt a dull ache in their wrist, vividly recalling the consequences of their reckless actions years ago.
Then, he immediately changed the subject.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
