Tang Jinghong listened quietly. In the eyes of those vying for power, such means were all too common.

“Why did Zhuo Bainian want you to kill the two princes? And why did he want them dead?”

Tuoba Qi was silent for a while before replying, “1 don’t know why he wanted them dead. As for why he had me do it, I volunteered.”

Tang Jinghong gazed at Tuoba Qi, “You were confident in your medical skills and thought no one in the Daling Dynasty could solve the case, but unexpectedly, it was deciphered in less than a day…”

Tuoba Qi remained silent, implicitly admitting it.

Having no more questions to ask, Tang Jinghong left some instructions for Ren Buqing and left the Ministry of Justice.

Back at the General’s Mansion, he immediately ordered his secret guards to investigate this Zhuo Bainian, “Hopefully, we can find some clues.”

In the Chu Residence.

After Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao returned home, they went to Chu Qingzhi’s courtyard.

Chu Xuyao looked around, “There are no lights in the courtyard. Fifth Sister hasn’t returned yet.”

Chu Xuyuan suggested, “Let’s ask our mother.”

They headed to the adjacent courtyard and upon entering, they heard laughter and lively conversation from inside the house.

“Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters.” They rushed into the room, finding everyone there.

Li Qingyu smiled, “Back already?”

“Yes.” Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao approached Chu Qingzhi. Chu Xuyuan opened his mouth, somewhat awkwardly, “Fifth Sister, there’s something we need your help with.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at them, “What is it?”

Chu Xuyuan, looking down, hesitantly said, “Fifth Sister, during dinner, Brother Zhuang Yuyan said that the couplet he wrote was from a book he read. It only had the first line and no second line. He has been trying to come up with a satisfying second line for half a year. We were hoping you could help.”

Chu Xuyao guiltily added, “Seventh Brother agreed too quickly. I couldn’t stop him in time. Fifth Sister, I’m sorry.”

Chu Xuyuan apologized, “Fifth Sister, I didn’t know. I won’t agree so hastily next time.”

Hearing this, Li Qingyu was slightly annoyed, “If you can’t do it, then don’t. Why show off?”

Chu Xuyuan’s head hung even lower, “Mother, I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t blame them, “Mother, it’s okay. I’ll think of a way. Matching couplets isn’t that hard.”

She asked the two, “Did Zhuang Yuyan bring the book?”

Chu Xuyan nodded, “Yes. His books are all about matching couplets. Whenever he has free time, he studies them. He’s really passionate.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Let’s go find him.”

Chu Xuyuan was confused, “Why find him?”

“To learn how to match couplets from his books.”

At the inn.

As usual, Zhuang Yuyan took out all his books and placed them on the table, a total of eight. He picked up the top one and started reading.

He was anxious, thinking that if he couldn’t find the second line by tomorrow, it would be a big joke.

In his anxious state, he heard a knock on the door.

He got up to open it and was surprised to see his visitors, “Miss Chu, Xuyuan, Xuyao, what brings you here?”

Chu Xuyan said, “My Fifth Sister came to borrow your books.”

Zhuang Yuyan readily agreed, “Come in. All my books are on the table. Feel free to borrow them.”

“Thank you.” Chu Qingzhi walked into the room and picked six books from the table. After reading these six, she should be able to find the second line, “Young Master Zhuang, thank you. I’ll return them early tomorrow morning.”

Facing Chu Qingzhi up close, Zhuang Yuyan was a bit nervous, fidgeting as he said, “You can return them whenever you like.”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao exchanged glances, impressed by their sister’s influence. Normally, Brother Zhuang Yuyan would never allow anyone to touch his precious books, treating them as if they were unique copies.

Having borrowed the books, the three siblings returned to the Chu Residence.

Chu Qingzhi went to her room and sat at her desk, beginning to read the books.

She read with focused attention, quickly scanning through the pages.

She needed to finish all six books and come up with a matching line for the couplet before dawn.

Outside, under the eaves, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao sat on the steps, their faces cupped in their hands, feeling downcast.

Wu Yaqing passed by and, after a moment, came back, turning to look at them, “What’s wrong with you two?”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao simultaneously shook their heads, their furrowed brows indicating their unhappiness.

This was the first time Wu Yaqing had seen them like this and, curious, she entered the courtyard, “Tell me, maybe 1 can help.”

Chu Xuyao sighed, his mood somber, “This time, no amount of money can solve our problem.”

Wu Yaqing didn’t know what to say.

She only had money. If she couldn’t solve it with money, there was nothing she could do.

“Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Chu Xuyao waved his little hand, his face full of worry. “I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“Alright then.” Wu Yaqing didn’t press further, sat with them for a while, and then went back to sleep as she was feeling sleepy.

Chu Xuyuan watched Wu Yaqing’s departing figure, “Being as naive as Sister Yaqing is nice.”

Chu Xuyao agreed, “I think so too.”

Time ticked by, and Chu Qingzhi went through one book after another, taking about half an hour for each. She finished the last one just as dawn broke. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She wrote the first line of the couplet on a piece of paper, then quickly wrote the second line.

She looked at the second half of the couplet in satisfaction. “It’s not that difficult to match the couplet.”

Satisfied, she waited for the ink to dry, then rolled up the paper and walked out of her room.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were already waiting at the door, their eyes filled with anticipation, guilt, and apology…

Chu Qingzhi handed the couplet to the two boys, smiling, “The second line is written.”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao rushed to hug Chu Qingzhi, overjoyed, “Fifth Sister, thank you.”

“It’s no trouble. I’m a bit hungry now, let’s go have breakfast.”

The two boys let go of Chu Qingzhi and led her towards the dining hall, “Fifth Sister, we bought you the five best breakfasts in the capital. Try them.”

“Okay.”

On the way to the inn.

Chu Xuyao admiringly said, “Seventh Brother, Fifth Sister is amazing, solving the couplet in just one night.”

Chu Xuyuan replied with pride, “Of course, our Fifth Sister is the smartest person in the world.”

Their excited conversation continued as they walked away.

Their words were overheard by a student from the Imperial College, Luo Jisheng, who was a few steps behind them. His gaze fell on the paper in Chu Xuyuan’s hand. If his senior brother couldn’t match the couplet, the Imperial College would be greatly embarrassed.

With this thought in mind, he suddenly had an idea. He whispered a few words to his assistant, who nodded and quickly left.

Luo Jisheng sneered. He wouldn’t let the Yufei School humiliate the Imperial College so easily.

Suddenly, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were knocked down from behind, and the paper flew out of their hands.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m in a hurry…” The young man apologized as he picked up the paper and returned it to them. “I’m sorry. Are you alright? If you’re hurt, we can go see a doctor..”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao saw that the other party’s attitude was so sincere, so they did not pursue the matter. In any case, they were not injured.

The young man gratefully left.

Arriving at the inn, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao handed the couplet to Zhuang Yuyan.

Zhuang Yuyan was about to open it to see when Xu Guannan approached, “Yuyan, the headmaster is looking for you.”

“Alright, I’ll be right there,” Zhuang Yuyan reluctantly said, “I’ll look at it when 1 come back. Xuyuan, you should go to the Imperial College for the competition. Don’t delay your important matters.”

Chu Xuyuan nodded, “Okay.”

In the General’s Mansion.

After breakfast, Lu Yichen put down his chopsticks and said, “Jinghong, I plan to leave.”

“You haven’t fully recovered from your injuries. There’s no need to leave in such a hurry. There are no outsiders here. You are safe.”

“It’s not about that. I have things to do.” Someone was urging him to return.

“Are you sure you want to leave?”

“Positive.”

“Then I won’t keep you.”

“I’ll pack my things and leave. 1 won’t wait for you to come back from the court.”

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Wu Yaqing?” He had promised Wu Yaqing to ask Lu Yichen, and this seemed like the right opportunity.

Lu Yichen was stunned for a moment. “1 should indeed say goodbye to her.” “Why have you been hot and cold towards Wu Yaqing?” He intended to ask subtly, but it felt odd however he phrased it, so he decided to be direct.

Lu Yichen fell silent.

Even Tang Jinghong didn’t know his secret. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked.

After a while, he replied with a tinge of bitterness, “Jinghong, I have my reasons.”

“I understand that you have your reasons, but as a man, don’t avoid issues, especially in matters of the heart.”

Lu Yichen reached out and patted Tang Jinghong’s shoulder. He suddenly smiled and said, “In the past, you were like a block of wood when it came to matters of the heart. Have you been enlightened?”

Tang Jinghong retorted, “Do you intend to hurt Wu Yaqing?”

“Why would I hurt her for no reason?”

Tang Jinghong spoke earnestly, “Exactly. Wu Yaqing is genuinely a good person. If you miss this chance, you might end up single forever.”

Lu Yichen was left pondering. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“1’11 go find Wu Yaqing now.”

Tang Jinghong watched him leave like he was escaping and smiled helplessly before going to change clothes for court.

Lu Yichen arrived at the Chu Residence, “Is Wu Yaqing here?”

The guard recognized Lu Yichen and bowed, “Miss Wu has not left the house. If Third Master wishes to see her, 1 will inform her immediately.”

Lu Yichen nodded.

Soon after, Wu Yaqing and the guard came out.

Wu Yaqing was very happy to see Lu Yichen. She walked over and gently patted Lu Yichen’s shoulder. “Why are you here?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Lu Yichen turned around, his gaze momentarily dazzled by Wu Yaqing’s radiant smile, “I’m leaving. I came to say goodbye and to thank you for taking care of me recently.”

Wu Yaqing’s smile slowly faded, her good mood plummeting, and she asked reluctantly, “Where are you going?”

Lu Yichen deliberately ignored her reaction, “To where 1 must go.”

Wu Yaqing’s eyes locked onto Lu Yichen, her fingers tightening on her sleeve, “Will you come back?”

Lu Yichen looked ahead, his usually cold and deep eyes showing a hint of something more, “Maybe, I’m not sure.”

Wu Yaqing tilted her head to look at Lu Yichen’s profile, realizing she had never observed him so closely before. She meticulously traced the contours of his face and found him to be a remarkably handsome man. Despite his somewhat cold demeanor, everything else about him was quite appealing.

“If you come back, you can find me. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Wu Yaqing rubbed her face, knowing her personality was not suited for tears and sorrow. After feeling sad for a while, she recovered.

“Okay,” Lu Yichen said as he walked over to his horse. He mounted it, turned his head for a long, deep look at Wu Yaqing, and then rode off.

Wu Yaqing stood at the gate, watching intently in the direction Lu Yichen had left.

Chu Qingzhi came out of the residence and spotted Wu Yaqing, who looked absent-minded. “Yaqing, what are you looking at?”

Wu Yaqing turned and hugged Chu Qingzhi, feeling sad, “Lu Yichen has left.”

Chu Qingzhi gently patted Wu Yaqing’s back, “You seem quite upset. Have you fallen for him?”

Wu Yaqing shook her head, “1 don’t know, but I didn’t want him to leave.”

Chu Qingzhi comforted her, “You’ll see each other again in the future.”

Wu Yaqing brightened up, “Really, Qingzhi? Are you sure?”

“Of course, when have I ever lied to you?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“When will I see him again?”

“Fate will bring you together when the time is right. Trust me, you two are destined.”

Hearing this, Wu Yaqing felt like the clouds had cleared, “Qingzhi, thank you for comforting me. I’m fine now.”

“Sometimes the waiting is beautiful too, Yaqing. What belongs to you will eventually come your way.”

“I know.”

Chu Qingyan, carrying a toolbox, went to Li Qingyu’s courtyard, “Mother, I’m going with Xiaochan to do her sister’s makeup. We won’t be back for lunch.”

Li Qingyu came out of the house, “Where does Xiaochan’s sister live?”

Xiaochan bowed and replied, “In the southern civilian area of the capital.”

Li Qingyu was a bit worried. She called over Xiaochun, the maid sent by Ning Yuting, “Xiaochun, go with them and come back early after lunch.”

Xiaochun obediently responded, “Yes, Madam.”

At the Imperial College, Go competition area.

Even though some matches had ended, no one wanted to waste the rare opportunity to socialize. The Imperial College was even livelier the next day.

When Chu Xuyuan arrived at the competition area, he saw Lin Jixian talking intimately with a young man in his early twenties.

With some time before the match began, Chu Xuyuan planned to find a place to read about Go. However, Lin Jixian called out to him, “Chu Xuyuan, scared to see me?”

Chu Xuyuan calmly replied, “Why should I be scared of you? You are not a man-eating monster, are you?”

Seeing Chu Qingzhi wasn’t there, Lin Jixian dropped the pretense and arrogantly said, “Then why are you avoiding me?”

“I’m going to read a book,” Chu Xuyuan replied, turning to leave. He didn’t want to waste time chatting pointlessly.

Lin Jixian rushed over and stopped him. He asked very concernedly, “What book do you want to read?” If he knew what book Chu Xuyuan was reading, he would roughly know his Go strategies.

Chu Xuyuan rolled his eyes. “It’s a divine book. After reading it, 1’11 definitely beat you today.”

Lin Jixian did not believe it. “How could there be such a book?”

“It’s up to you whether you believe me or not. It’s not important.” After saying that, Chu Xuyuan stepped aside and continued walking.

“Wait!” The young man who was talking to Lin Jixian called Lin Jibing stopped Chu Xuyuan. “Junior Brother, I’m very interested in the book you’re talking about. Can 1 borrow it?”

“Why should I lend it to you?” Chu Xuyuan turned around..

Lin Jibing was taken aback by the question and stammered, “Uh…”

Chu Xuyuan, ignoring Lin Jixian, continued forward, found a secluded spot by a flower bed, and sat down. He took out a book from his clothes and began to read.

The book, a gift from Tang Jinghong, discussed Go theory and analyzed classic games. It was a way for Chu Xuyuan to study independently when he had free time.

Lin Jibing stood there awkwardly.

Lin Jixian came over. “Big brother, let’s go elsewhere.”

Lin Jibing snorted at Chu Xuyuan and left with Lin Jixian.

As they walked away, Lin Jixian glanced back at Chu Xuyuan, narrowing his eyes. After studying several game records last night, he was sure he would win against Chu Xuyuan today.

Chu Xuyao walked over and sat beside Chu Xuyuan. “Seventh Brother, your opponent doesn’t seem to be easy to deal with.”

Chu Xuyuan said casually, “1 don’t care. In any case, the three draws yesterday were already a win for me. Today’s win or loss isn’t important.”

“That’s true,” Chu Xuyao encouraged. “Seventh Brother, try to draw again today.”

Chu Xuyuan smiled. “1’11 try my best.”

A few students from Yunfei School also came over to encourage Chu Xuyuan.

They also expressed that they would watch later and cheer for him.

Chu Xuyuan, delighted, focused even more on his reading.

A short while later, in the competition area, Chu Xuyuan and Lin Jixian sat opposite each other again.

Lin Jixian looked at Chu Xuyuan coldly. “You won’t be so lucky today.”

Chu Xuyuan’s expression was relaxed. He patted his chest where he had placed the book. “1 don’t rely on luck for Go; I rely on skill. And remember, 1 have a ‘magic book’. You might not be able to beat me. Just wait and see.”

Lin Jixian, looking at Chu Xuyan’s chest with some wariness, said, “Magic books are fake. Don’t bluff.”

Chu Xuyuan calmly replied, “Whether it’s real or not, we’ll find out soon.” Tang Jinghong had said, the more anxious the opponent, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Lin Jixian’s emotional state already put him at a disadvantage.

Lin Jixian retorted, “I want to see if your so-called magic book can help you win this game!”

The more the other party lost control of his emotions, the more relaxed Chu Xuyuan became. He spread his hands. “1 shouldn’t disappoint you.”

“Hmph!”

The teacher’s voice announced, “The game begins!”

Chu Xuyuan confidently placed the first piece, and Lin Jixian followed suit, placing the second piece. A new round of intense competition commenced.

Meanwhile, at a nearby flower bed, the moment to reveal the second line of the couplet had arrived.

As Zhuang Yuyan appeared, many gathered around, and Chu Xuyao also ran over.

Yan Jingkui and his group soon joined the crowd at the center.

Both sides greeted each other.

Yan Jingkui held a rolled-up piece of paper in his hand with a smug expression. “Yesterday, 1 went back and thought about it all night. 1 also came up with a second line. Why don’t you take a look at the second line 1 wrote first?”

“Wait a moment!” A student from the Imperial College, Luo Jisheng, interjected, “Yesterday, Brother Zhuang said that if Brother Yan can match the second line today, it would be considered a draw, right?”

Zhuang Yuyan frowned slightly, “Yes, a scholar’s word is his bond.”

Luo Jisheng nodded, “Then let’s have Brother Yan show his couplet.”

Yan Jingkui unrolled the paper, flattened it, and displayed it. “Everyone, please take a look.”

The couplet read, upper line: “Gazing at the river from the river tower, watching the flow from atop the tower. The river and the tower, timeless through the ages.”

Lower line: “Reflecting the moon in the moon well, casting moon’s shadow in the well’s embrace. The moon in the well, the shadow eternal, lasting through millennia.”

Upon seeing the second line, the crowd first fell silent, then erupted into noise…

“Matching ‘gazing’ with ‘reflecting’, ‘river and tower’ with ‘moon and well’, the tones and rhythm are harmonious, the combination of movement and stillness, creating corresponding imagery in each line, excellent couplet!”

Yan Jingkui basked in the admiring glances, his expression smug as he raised an eyebrow at Zhuang Yuyan, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

The other students from the Imperial College looked at Zhuang Yuyan with a hint of disdain, believing it impossible for him to come up with a better couplet.

When Zhuang Yuyan saw Yan Jingkui’s confident gaze, he could not help but feel a little uneasy.

After helping the headmaster settle his matters, Zhuang Yuyan didn’t have much time left. He rushed to the Imperial College in a hurry and didn’t have time to read the second line written by Chu Qingzhi. Now that his opponent did it so exceptionally well, could the second line written by Chu Qingzhi surpass it?

Luo Jisheng deliberately spoke loudly, “Brother Zhuang, Brother Yan’s couplet has been revealed. When will you unveil yours?”

“Yeah, hurry up and show it to everyone.”

“We’ve been waiting since yesterday, Brother Zhuang. You won’t keep us in suspense, will you?”

Under the scrutiny of the crowd, Zhuang Yuyan nervously unrolled the paper and slowly unrolled it. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The paper was blank.

Zhuang Yuyan’s face changed color. What happened? Why would Chu Qingzhi give him a blank paper?

Impossible. Miss Chu isn’t that kind of person. It can’t be. It can’t be.

Chu Xuyao snatched the paper over and checked both sides anxiously. It was blank paper. It was indeed blank paper. Why would his Fifth Sister give him blank paper?

No, Fifth Sister wouldn’t do that. What happened? Why did it become a blank piece of paper?

He held the blank paper and dashed out of the crowd…

“Ha ha ha, he actually brought a blank paper for us to see. Zhuang Yuyan, can’t you even answer your own couplet?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be the best at couplets in Yunfei School? What’s going on now?”

“Weren’t you very arrogant yesterday? Now you can’t answer your own couplet?”

Under everyone’s ridicule, Zhuang Yuyan’s face turned red. He had never been so embarrassed before. He wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.

The other students from Yunfei School did not say a word. Their faces were ashen as they glared at the students from the Imperial College.

“Why are you staring at us?”

“Blaming others for your own incompetence.”

“Brother Yan is impressive. Let’s learn to be smarter and not brag. You never know when you might go too far.”

Amidst the laughter and ridicule, Zhuang Yuyan and the other students from Yunfei School left in humiliation.

The incident, deliberately spread by the students from the Imperial College, quickly became the talk of the entire Academy. Students from Yunfei School became the object of ridicule wherever they went.

In the Chu Residence.

Chu Xuyao rushed back home, “Fifth Sister, there’s been a huge problem.”

Chu Qingzhi, who was just about to leave the house, heard Chu Xuyao’s anxious voice and thought something life-threatening had happened, “What happened?”

Chu Xuyao, out of breath, said, “Fifth Sister, the paper you gave me turned into blank paper.”

“Blank paper?” Chu Qingzhi took the paper to examine it, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, “When did you notice it turned blank?”

“It was when Brother Zhuang was about to show the couplet to everyone.”

Wouldn’t that be embarrassing? “Xuyao, tell me everything that happened between you leaving the residence today and unfolding the white paper.”

Chu Xuyao recalled the events and recounted them in detail.

“Were you and Xuyuan knocked down on the road?”

“Yes, but the person was very polite, so we didn’t make much of it..”

Chapter 604: A Small Matter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Was the paper out of your hands?”

“Yes, when we fell, it flew out of our hands, but it was picked up and given back to us by the other person.”

Hearing this, Chu Qingzhi immediately understood, “Did the other party write the second line ‘Reflecting the moon in the moon well, casting moon’s shadow in the well’s embrace. The moon in the well, the shadow eternal, lasting through millennia’?”

“Yes, Fifth Sister, you got it right,” Chu Xuyao realized, “Wait, Fifth Sister, you weren’t at the scene, how do you know their second line? Did you write it?”

“I wrote it,” Chu Qingzhi said. “Your paper was switched when it was picked up and given back to you.”

“Despicable and shameless!” Chu Xuyao stomped his foot in anger.

“It’s a trivial matter, don’t be angry,” Chu Qingzhi gently patted his shoulder. “This afternoon, I’ll have them publicly confess how they stole someone else’s work, how about that?”

“Great,” Chu Xuyao said excitedly. “This afternoon, the Emperor himself will be there to observe the winners of the competition and award prizes. Revealing their misdeeds then will surely ruin their reputations.”

“Fifth Sister, I’ll go and tell Brother Zhuang and the others so they don’t misunderstand you.”

“Go ahead, and be careful.”

“I know.”

After inquiring around, Chu Xuyao found out that Zhuang Yuyan and the others had already returned to the inn, and he quickly made his way there.

Upon hearing Chu Xuyao’s story, Zhuang Yuyan and the others were furious.

Ads by Pubfuture

“It’s outrageous! These Imperial College students are indeed adept at scheming. We didn’t wrong them.”

“No integrity at all. If they become officials after the imperial examination, they’ll only bring harm to the people.”

“We must expose their misdeeds this afternoon. Unforgivable!”

They vented their anger in the room for a long time before slowly calming down.

At the Imperial College, Go competition area.

“Admit defeat!” Chu Xuyuan miraculously discovered that he was about to win.

Lin Jixian stared at the board in disbelief, “How is this possible?”

Chu Xuyuan toyed with a Go piece, deliberately provoking Lin Jixian, “Why isn’t it possible? Didn’t I tell you I have a ‘magic book’? Now you see how powerful it is, right?”

Lin Jixian’s face grew increasingly pale. He had many moves to make on the board, but whichever he chose, Chu Xuyuan would win on the next move, “Impossible, impossible!”

Chu Xuyuan lightly tapped the table with the Go piece, “Hurry up, it’s just us left.”

Lin Jixian looked up and realized they were indeed the only ones left in the area. Reluctantly, he placed his piece down.

Chu Xuyuan cheered, “I won!”

The teacher came over, looked at the board, and announced, “Xuyuan wins.”

Chu Xuyuan stood up and respectfully bowed to the teacher, “Thank you, Sir.”

Lin Jixian, tears in his eyes, rushed out. He couldn’t believe he had lost. Chu Xuyuan was just a beginner; how could he lose to a beginner?

Chu Xuyuan, with his unexpected skill, successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The competition continued, and Chu Xuyuan drew Zeng Zhengming as his opponent.

Zeng Zhengming was the best Go player in the Imperial College, unbeaten throughout the academy, and had even challenged a national champion three months ago. He lost to the national champion after 56 moves and had locked himself up indoors since, only emerging yesterday.

Facing Zeng Zhengming was a completely different level compared to Lin Jixian, but Zeng Zhengming wasn’t as skilled as Tang Jinghong. Ultimately, Chu Xuyuan lost after 78 moves.

Zeng Zhengming was very surprised. He sized up the young man in front of him. He had a handsome face and a smart brain. He was not eye-catching, but he seemed to be a bright kid. “May I ask, little junior brother, who is your master?”

Chu Xuyuan proudly said, “Do you know General Tang Jinghong?”

Zeng Zhengming was surprised, “1 didn’t expect you to be a disciple of General Tang. My apologies.”

Chu Xuyuan, feeling a bit embarrassed, quickly clarified, “Actually, General Tang hasn’t formally accepted me as a disciple. 1 just regard him as my master in my heart.”

Calling General Tang Brother Jinghong meant that their relationship was definitely not ordinary. “Your skill in Go is quite impressive, especially considering our age difference. It feels somewhat unfair that I won.”

“Senior brother, you’re too polite,” Chu Xuyuan waved it off, not minding at all. In fact, he was thrilled; he never expected to make it to the top four, performing beyond his expectations.

It was now time for the final rounds to determine the champion.

Zeng Zhengming faced Nan Yunming, the best Go player from Yunfei School, known as a “Go fanatic,” deeply passionate about the game.

In Shuiyun County, by a river, some elderly men liked to play Go in the afternoons. When Nan Yunming became proficient in Go, he challenged each of them and defeated them all.

Eventually, whenever these elderly men saw him coming, they would pack up their Go boards, refusing to play with him.

Chu Xuyuan found a good spot to watch the match, knowing that observing skilled players would greatly benefit his own skills.

Chu Xuyao came over and asked in a low voice, “Seventh Brother, have you finished your match?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Xuyuan’s face was radiant, “Yes, I made it to the top four. Impressive, right?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Xuyao joked, “Impressive, indeed. I thought you’d be eliminated in the first round.”

Chu Xuyuan pinched Chu Xuyao’s cheek, “You underestimate me.”

Chu Xuyao laughed, “1’11 never underestimate Seventh Brother again.”

“That’s more like it.”

At the Zhou Residence.

The butler hurried into the study, “Master, Miss Chu Qingzhi has come to discuss a business matter with you.”

Zhou Xiangfu looked up, “Please have her in.”

The butler quickly stepped out and ushered Chu Qingzhi into the study, “Miss Chu, please have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

Zhou Xiangfu walked over from behind the desk and sat next to Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Chu, what brings you here in person?”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t like beating around the bush and got straight to the point, “1 heard that the Zhou family farms pearls?”

Zhou Xiangfu nodded, “Indeed, we do. Most are ordinary, but we only get one or two top-quality pearls a year. They’re very rare. What kind of pearls are you interested in?”

“I’m interested in the deformed pearls you usually discard. I heard from General Tang that you throw them away. Would it be possible for me to acquire them?”

“Of course, I’ll have someone collect them for you. You don’t have to pay a high price, just the workers’ wages will do.”

“Thank you, Master Zhou.”

“No need to thank me.” Zhou Xiangfu hesitated before asking, “Miss Chu, with your medical expertise, could you possibly treat our oysters?”

“What’s wrong with them?”

“Recently, for some reason, the oysters keep dying mysteriously. Many doctors have looked at them but couldn’t figure out the cause. So, 1 was hoping you could help.”

“I can, but I need to examine them on site.”

“I’ll personally take you there.”

After some preparation, Zhou Xiangfu, accompanied by Chu Qingzhi and a few servants, rode horses to the pearl farming site..

On the outskirts of the capital, there was a river named Yuanjiang River. The water of this river was crystal clear, teeming with fish, and surrounded by picturesque mountains and scenery, making it exquisitely beautiful.

Along the river, there were more than a dozen artificially excavated streams. These man-made streams, shaped in semi-circles and embedded along the riverbank, resembled ears. These streams were where merchants cultivate pearls.

Farms had been built according to the terrain of the river, creating a unique landscape when viewed from above.

Among these, the Zhou family’s farm was the largest, with a man-made stream four meters wide and over five hundred meters long, housing thousands of river oysters. These oysters were carefully tended to by the workers every day, making it one of the Zhou family’s most profitable businesses.

Upon seeing the head of the family, the gatekeeper immediately greeted him eagerly, “Master.”

Zhou Xiangfu dismounted, “Notify the manager to come and see me.”

The gatekeeper quickly complied, “Yes, Master.”

As they were talking, Chu Qingzhi also dismounted. She looked around and saw that the environment was beautiful, with fresh air, making it a very pleasant place.

Zhou Xiangfu courteously approached Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Chu, please come in.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and followed Zhou Xiangfu into the farm.

The artificial streams were spread throughout the farm. Not long after entering, Chu Qingzhi saw a clear stream flowing slowly, with its riverbed covered in lush green river grass. The river oysters were placed on the grass, opening their mouths to feed.

Some workers by the river were collecting dead river oysters into a barrel, preparing to harvest the pearls. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Suddenly, someone shouted “Master,” and everyone turned to look, “Master.”

Zhou Xiangfu gestured for them to continue their work and then led Chu Qingzhi to the river, “Miss Chu, could you please check why these oysters are dying?”

Chu Qingzhi picked a dead oyster from the barrel, “Where do you open the oysters? If we open these oysters, it will be easier to see the cause of their condition.”

Zhou Xiangfu immediately said, “Take these oysters to be opened.”

“Yes.” The worker hurriedly picked up the barrel and went to the place where the oysters were opened, with Chu Qingzhi and Zhou Xiangfu following.

At this moment, the manager, informed by the worker, hurried over, “Master, why did you come so suddenly?”

“I’ve brought a divine doctor to examine the oysters,” Zhou Xiangfu added, “From now on, collect all the pearls that cannot be polished into jewelry. 1 will send someone to collect them regularly.”

The manager quickly agreed.

The worker opened each dead oyster, revealing many small pearls, causing Zhou Xiangfu to feel pained at the loss; if these had grown to maturity, they would have sold for so much money!

Chu Qingzhi put on gloves from her bag, crouched down, and began examining the cause of death for the oysters.

After checking a few, she understood the issue.

Judging by the flesh color of the dead oysters, they were killed by external parasites.

She asked, “Did the workers recently add a new batch of oysters to the river?”

Zhou Xiangfu quickly asked the manager, “Is that so?”

The manager, sweating profusely and nervous, replied, “Yes, every time after we harvest the oysters, we add a new batch. Otherwise, we won’t have mature pearls in time.”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “The bodies of the oysters were carrying a large number of parasites. The newly added oysters brought in new parasites, mixing with the original oysters, which couldn’t adapt, leading to their death.”

Zhou Xiangfu inwardly admired Chu Qingzhi’s skills. Several doctors with good medical knowledge had failed to diagnose the issue, yet Chu Qingzhi identified the problem after examining just a few oysters. He felt the need to establish a good relationship with her.

He said, “But this isn’t the first time we’ve introduced new oysters. Why didn’t this issue arise before?”

“The new oysters you introduced this time came from a different source than the ones before.”

Zhou Xiangfu turned his sharp gaze toward the manager.

The manager knelt down with a thud, “Master, it’s my fault. 1 sought cheap options and took in some oysters of unknown origin, not realizing it would lead to such serious consequences.”

Zhou Xiangfu took a deep breath, deciding to settle accounts later. The priority was to save the remaining oysters, “Miss Chu, is there any way to save the remaining oysters? If not, we’ll face a huge loss.”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “Where’s the study? 1’11 write you a prescription. Follow the instructions, and the remaining oysters can be saved.”

When Zhou Xiangfu heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Miss Chu, this way please.”

The manager felt a sense of relief like being pulled back from the edge of a cliff. There was a way to save the situation, and he might avoid severe punishment.

Miss Chu was simply a Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.

He quickly got up and followed them to the study. He would try to redeem himself later.

In the study, Chu Qingzhi wrote a detailed prescription, “Follow this treatment, and from tomorrow, no more oysters should die inexplicably.”

Zhou Xiangfu received the prescription, looked at it, and handed it to the manager, “Hurry and get these medicines. If there are more mistakes, you’ll compensate for all the losses.”

“I won’t, I won’t. I’ll definitely do my job well.” The manager took the prescription and scurried away to get the medicine.

Zhou Xiangfu gratefully bowed to Chu Qingzhi, “Thank you, Miss Chu,” and handed her a hundred taels of silver.

Chu Qingzhi accepted the silver and then said, “Master Zhou, could you do me a favor?”

“Please speak, Miss Chu.”

“1 need two people to help me collect river crabs.” Seeing the abundant and plump river crabs along the river, Chu Qingzhi couldn’t pass them up.

“That’s fine. 1’11 arrange for it right away. But can you eat those?” Zhou Xiangfu asked in confusion.

Don’t they eat crabs in this era?

Chu Qingzhi probed, “Have you never eaten river crab meat?”

Zhou Xiangfu asked in confusion, “The crabs are covered in hard shells. Do they have meat?”

It seemed that people in this era, apart from fish, were not familiar with other river delicacies, “Yes, they do, though it’s not much.”

Zhou Xiangfu still could not accept the idea of eating river crabs, but it did not stop him from helping. “I’ll get someone to help Miss Chu pick up river crabs immediately.”

“Thank you.”

After a while, workers collected four full barrels of river crabs for Chu Qingzhi, which she took back to the city in a carriage.

In the imperial study.

The young Emperor, holding his forehead, looked very troubled, “Minister Tang, please help me think of a solution.”

The time for the triennial selection of consorts had arrived again. The Emperor only wanted to be with the Empress and had no interest in taking more consorts. However, court officials were persistently advising the Emperor to select new consorts.

The Emperor, struggling to oppose the collective opinion of the civil and military officials, felt extremely weary.

Tang Jinghong was also helpless. “Your Majesty, I can’t think of a good solution.”

Suddenly, the Emperor thought of someone, lowered his hand, and looked directly at Tang Jinghong, “Why don’t you ask Chu Qingzhi? If she can help me solve this problem, I’ll reward her with a hundred acres of good land..”

Chapter 606: Causing A Big Trouble

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A hundred acres of good land was a considerable sum of money, and Tang Jinghong agreed to the task, “I will try.”

The Emperor waved his hand, his heart filled with anticipation. “Go, but the civil and military officials are pressing so hard. 1 hope Minister Tang can reply to me as soon as possible.”

Tang Jinghong cupped his fists. ‘TH try my best.” He turned around and left the palace.

The Emperor leaned back in his chair, sighing wearily. Couldn’t things be peaceful for a while? What a headache!

In the Chu Residence.

At the entrance, Chu Qingzhi dismounted.

The workers took down four barrels full of river crabs from the cargo horse, placing them next to Chu Qingzhi. Crabs crawled out of the barrels continuously… Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Tang Jinghong approached, “Qingzhi, did you go crabbing?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “I went to help Master Zhou with his oysters. 1 saw so many river crabs by the river, so 1 collected some to bring back.”

Tang Jinghong was confused, “Are river crabs a medicinal ingredient?”

“Have you never eaten crab meat?”

“No, is it edible?”

“River crabs are delicious. Come to my house for dinner tonight; I’ll prepare a river crab feast for you.”

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi asked the guards at the door to take the crabs to the kitchen for her to deal with later. Then she turned to Tang Jinghong, “You coming to find me at this time must mean you have a matter to discuss, right?”

Tang Jinghong nodded with a smile, “Nothing gets past you.”

“What is it?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Tang Jinghong got straight to the point, “The Emperor doesn’t want to hold a selection for consorts. Do you have any way to stop the civil and military officials from urging him?”

Chu Qingzhi brought Tang Jinghong into the residence. “Why did the civil and military officials send their daughter to the palace? It’s very simple. They want their daughters to win power for them. Just let the civil and military officials feel that there’s no profit to be gained by sending their daughters to the palace.”

Tang Jinghong was suddenly enlightened. Why did such a troublesome issue seem so trivial to Qingzhi?

“Qingzhi, I’ll get a hundred acres of good land back for you.”

After saying this, Tang Jinghong hurriedly left.

Chu Qingzhi watched his departing figure, “What hundred acres of good land?”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao returned home.

Li Qingyu asked with concern, “Xuyuan, what place did you get?”

Chu Xuyuan puffed out his chest and looked very proud. “Mother, I made it to the top four.”

Li Qingyu was surprised and delighted, “Top four?”

Chu Xuyan smiled triumphantly, “Yes, I’m impressive, right?”

Li Qingyu smiled broadly, “Impressive indeed, my son. Here, Xuyuan, I made your favorite crispy pork. Come and eat.”

Chu Xuyuan cheered. “Thank you, Mother.”

Chu Xuyao felt neglected and asked dejectedly, “What about me, Mother?”

Li Qingyu rubbed her younger son’s head and laughed, “You eat with your brother.”

“Mother, didn’t you make my favorite dish?” Chu Xuyao sounded plaintive, “Is it because I didn’t get a good place, you’re not happy with me?”

She had never had such thoughts. Seeing that her son was sad, Li Qingyu quickly tried to salvage the situation. “I will make it for you immediately, okay?”

Chu Xuyao shook his head, feeling downcast, “No need to bother, I don’t feel like eating anything right now.” He went back to his room alone.

The family’s mood quickly dampened.

Li Qingyu was puzzled, looking from one to the other, “What’s wrong with Xuyao?”

Chu Qingyue suggested, “Maybe he feels we’re all focused on Xuyuan and not paying attention to him?”

Chu Qingning nodded, “Probably.”

Feeling sorry for his brother, Chu Xuyuan said, “I’ll go see him…”

Chu Xuyao returned to his room, opened the window facing the garden, climbed up, and sat on the windowsill. He looked out at the gnarled old tree and spoke to himself.

“Am 1 too stupid?”

“Seventh Brother relied on his smart brain to enter the top four, but 1 only got a

B-Middle ranking. Compared to him, I’m far behind.”

“I really wanted to get an A-Upper.”

“Should 1 also find a master to learn from?”

Chu Xuyuan walked into the room just in time to hear the last two words spoken by Chu Xuyao, “What master are you talking about?”

Chu Xuyao turned to look at Chu Xuyuan, “Weren’t you going to eat crispy pork? Why did you come?”

Chu Xuyuan walked over, leaning his hands on the windowsill, teasing with a smile, “Eating crispy pork? 1 came to see you being jealous.”

Chu Xuyao didn’t know what to say.

With his thoughts being exposed, Chu Xuyao became awkward, denying it, “Am 1 such a petty person?”

Chu Xuyuan nodded affirmatively, “Yes, you are.”

Chu Xuyao didn’t know what to say.

Chu Xuyuan reached out to pinch Chu Xuyao’s slightly puffed-up cheek, “1 didn’t expect my little brother to be such a little jealous kid, even jealous of your own brother.”

Chu Xuyao turned his face away, “Who’s jealous of you? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Why aren’t you happy then?”

“I didn’t rank well in the competition.”

“Is that all?”

“What else would it be?”

Chu Xuyuan advised, “Xuyao, the others you competed against have been practicing for over ten years. You’ve been practicing for less than ten months and already achieved a B-Middelranking. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”

Chu Xuyao did not say anything. In his opinion, he was still not good enough.

As Chu Xuyuan was about to say more, Li Qingyu entered the room, “Xuyao, 1 made sweet dumplings for you, come and eat.”

Chu Xuyuan picked Chu Xuyao up from the windowsill, “Stop being upset, let’s go eat.”

Chu Xuyao knew when to stop and walked over happily. “Thank you, Mother.”

Li Qingyu gently ruffled Chu Xuyao’s hair, “Sometimes Mother can be neglectful, forgive me.”

Chu Xuyao immediately felt guilty. His mother was so busy with household and affairs, and yet he was throwing a tantrum, which was totally inappropriate, “Mother, I’m sorry for causing you worry. I won’t do it again.”

Li Qingyu spoke gently, “It’s okay for a child to throw a tantrum, I understand.”

And just like that, the family became harmonious again.

In the restaurant.

Zeng Ruijie, a student from the Imperial College, rushed into the private room, his face full of anxiety, “There’s big trouble!”

Yan Jingkui frowned, “What big trouble?”

Zeng Ruijie said quickly, “The couplet that Jisheng brought back was written by Chu Qingzhi.”

Luo Jisheng’s heart sank, unable to believe this fact, “Are you joking?”

Zeng Ruijie urgently said, “I’m not joking, 1 heard it myself.” He had a friend studying at Yunfei School, and everyone was talking about this matter, which he happened to hear.

Luo Jisheng felt a chill, “How is that possible? Chu Qingzhi is just a teenager, how could she have written such a couplet?”

Chu Qingzhi’s reputation was well-known – a person who could even take on a princess. His background was no match for a princess. If he encountered Chu Qingzhi, wouldn’t she beat him to death?!

He was filled with fear and unease.

Zeng Ruijie said, “Don’t underestimate her because she’s a young girl. Her abilities are beyond your imagination.”

“Zhuang Yukun really couldn’t come up with that couplet. After returning yesterday, he gathered the students of Yunfei School to brainstorm, but no one could come up with a good line. Later, Chu Xuyuan said he would go back and ask his elder sister for help.”

“Chu Qingzhi initially didn’t know either, but she borrowed six books about couplets from Zhuang Yukun, saying she read them all night, and then wrote the couplet early the next morning.”

“It was the very couplet you switched..”

Chapter 607: Battle of Words

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Jisheng grew increasingly uneasy as he listened, “Impossible, impossible. How can someone come up with such a couplet after reading books for just one night? It’s impossible.”

Zeng Ruijie spoke seriously, “Others might not be able to, but Chu Qingzhi can. Have you ever seen someone make a horse fly?

“Yesterday morning, Chu Qingzhi was riding with the young crown prince when the horse got out of control. She managed to ride the horse over everyone’s heads, won a competition in the process, and identified a suspect just by smelling a silver ingot. Then she caught the suspect. Underestimate anyone, but never Chu Qingzhi.”

Everyone was astounded, thinking this must be divine rather than human.

Luo Jisheng, sweating with anxiety, wondered, “What do we do now? I never thought I would get a couplet written by Chu Qingzhi. If I had known, I never would have acted. What do I do now?”

Yan Jingkui shouted, “What are you panicking for?! She doesn’t even know that you took it. Just brace yourself and deny it.”

Luo Jisheng was still nervous, “But, but…”

Yan Jingkui forcefully interrupted, “No buts. Just lay low and hide somewhere. We’ll all act as if we’ve never seen you.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Luo Jisheng was at a loss and immediately walked out.

Zeng Ruijie stopped Luo Jisheng, suggesting, “Chu Qingzhi is exceptionally skilled at solving cases. If she finds out, she’ll be even more upset, right?”

At this moment, Luo Jisheng was completely flustered. The regret in his heart almost overwhelmed him. “Then what do you suggest?”

Zeng Ruijie thought for a moment and advised, “Maybe you should confess to Chu Qingzhi and seek leniency?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Yan Jingkui strongly opposed, “We are students of the Imperial College. Taking her couplet was a sign of respect for her. To humble ourselves and beg a woman for mercy would ruin our dignity. Could we ever hold our heads high again?”

Luo Jisheng felt that what Yan Jingkui said made sense. He said firmly, “I’m a man. I definitely won’t beg a woman for mercy.”

Zeng Ruijie didn’t insist further, simply saying, “Then consider the consequences.”

“I know.” Luo Jisheng left in a hurry. He planned to listen to Yan Jingkui and find a place to hide. Once the afternoon was over, this matter would pass.

The other students didn’t want to get involved and left one after another.

Yan Jingkui looked at Zeng Ruijie, who was standing at the side, and his expression was very ugly. “Why aren’t you leaving?”

Zeng Ruijie took a few steps, then turned back, saying, “Actually, you shouldn’t have taken someone else’s couplet and passed it off as your own. One mistake leads to another. You might regret it for the rest of your life.”

Yan Jingkui did not listen to a single word. “We’ll see.”

He snorted inwardly, thinking that if everything had to be about right and wrong, how could the founding emperor have risen in rebellion? It’s all about winners and losers

Zeng Ruijie sighed and left.

At the Imperial College.

As the Poetry and Rites Competition neared its end and the time to announce the competition results approached, many people gathered in front of Bitong Hall, waiting for the Emperor’s arrival.

The students of Yunfei Academy entered the Imperial College in groups. Many of them had won first places, chatting and laughing happily.

“How dare they show their faces at the Poetry and Rites Competition after such a disgraceful act. If it were me, I would have slinked away in shame.”

“That’s right. He’s using a couplet that even he can’t answer to test others. Those who don’t know better would think that he’s amazing!”

“They’re just seeking fame and reputation. Truly talented people are very low-key.”

Hurtful remarks from the Imperial College students filled the air, causing a stir and pointing fingers. Some students from Yunfei School, with thinner skins, already lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Chu Xuyao clenched his fists and stormed over, launching a verbal barrage, “1 remember you got eliminated in the first round of the Go competition, right? If I were you, I would indeed slink away in shame.”

The targeted student lowered his head in embarrassment, unable to say a word.

“And you, that couplet wasn’t written by him; it was stolen. Stealing is far more despicable than presenting a blank one, right?”

The student, feeling guilty, wanted to retort but eventually retreated into the crowd, not daring to argue back.

“Who is seeking fame and reputation? My senior brother Yuyan may not be able to answer his own couplet, but he didn’t cheat. Compared to you lot, he is ten times better.”

The students from the Imperial College were stunned into silence by Chu Xuyao’s words, forgetting to retort.

The students from Yunfei School, buoyed by Chu Xuyuan’s strong showing, became more confident. They had done nothing wrong and were upright. There was nothing to be ashamed of!

Chu Qingzhi, who was standing at the back, could not help but smile when she saw how amazing her ninth brother was. Her training had been successful!

Xu Guannan beckoned Chu Xuyao, “Xuyao, come back.”

Chu Xuyao glared at the students of the Imperial College and rejoined the group.

Subsequently, the Imperial College students toned down their behavior. Although they still looked down on Yunfei School students, they refrained from openly mocking them.

The students from Yunfei School chose a corner to wait, preferring to keep a low profile and avoid further trouble.

Chu Qingzhi, leaning against a tree with her arms crossed, was lost in thought.

Zhuang Yuyan approached her with an apologetic expression, “Miss Chu, I’m sorry for the trouble our oversight caused.”

Chu Qingzhi, who was clear about right and wrong, replied, “It’s not your fault. There’s no need to blame yourselves.”

Zhuang Yuyan slightly bowed his head, “We should have been more careful. If we had been there to pick up Xuyao and Xuyuan, none of this would have happened.”

Chu Qingzhi slightly raised an eyebrow, appreciating his self-reflecting attitude, “Consider this a lesson learned. Be more careful next time.”

Zhuang Yuyan nodded in agreement, “I will remember this.”

A moment later, a young voice came through…

“Miss Chu, I came to thank you.” Yuan Baozhang bowed deeply to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly, “What place did you get in calligraphy?”

“A-Upper.” Yuan Baozhang was still young. Even though he wanted to control his joy and be calm, one could tell from his smiling eyes that he was happy. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” Yuan Baozhang gratefully said, “It’s ail thanks to your guidance. Otherwise, I couldn’t have achieved this result.”

Chu Qingzhi responded, “No need to be so formal. You’re talented. Keep practicing and you can become a master calligrapher.”

Being recognized as a ‘master’ in the literary world was the ultimate goal. Yuan Baozhang, hearing this, was overjoyed, “I will work hard.”

“Good.”

This little interaction unknowingly laid the foundation for a good relationship between Yuan Baozhang and Chu Xuyao and Chu Xuyuan, with Yuan Baozhuang helping them significantly in the future.

Chu Xuyuan approached Chu Qingzhi, whispering, “Fifth sister, hasn’t Luo Jisheng come?”

“It’s okay if he doesn’t show up. There are others who know the truth. As long as one of the students from the Imperial College speaks up, the effect will be the same. Moreover, Luo Jisheng’s reputation will suffer even more.”

The more Chu Xuyuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. “I think so. Apart from stealing couplets, he’ll also be labeled a fugitive.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Exactly..”

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Within the crowd, Yan Jingkui stared at Chu Qingzhi with a hint of malevolence. He refused to believe that someone could advance their knowledge so significantly after just one night of reading. There had to be more to it.

Chu Qingzhi sensed Yan Jingkui’s gaze and turned to look at him. Her eyes were calm, like a still pond, unfazed.

Yan Jingkui, caught off-guard by her direct gaze, felt his heart skip a beat. A sense of unease spread through him, and he quickly averted his eyes, not daring to meet hers again.

When he calmed down a bit, he realized his back was drenched in sweat.

Beside him, Zeng Ruijie glanced where Yan Jingkui had been looking and saw Chu Qingzhi. He quickly looked away and asked, “Brother Yan, are you alright?” Yan Jingkui forced himself to appear calm and nodded.

At that moment, the eunuch’s shrill voice announced, “The Emperor arrives!”

Everyone bowed and stood still.

The Emperor walked to the Bitong Hall and ascended to the platform. After some encouraging words, he began the most anticipated part – distributing the prizes.

The eunuch brought a chair for the Emperor, and Grand Libationer Cao Changkun took over the proceedings.

Cao Changkun stepped onto the platform and addressed the crowd, “We’ll announce the winners in the order we have arranged.

“First, for the essay competition, which is a bit special, Xu Guannan from Yunfei School and Jiang Zhanglin from the Imperial College are both declared winners.”

Xu Guannan and Jiang Zhanglin glanced at each other, then looked away almost simultaneously before walking towards the Bitong Hall.

The eunuch presented two boxes, “Congratulations to both of you for ranking first.”

After thanking and receiving their prizes, they returned to their respective groups.

Some time later, Cao Changkun announced another special case, “For horse racing, the winner is… Chu Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingzhi was surprised. Why was she being mentioned? She hadn’t participated in the competition.

The crowd’s gaze turned to Chu Qingzhi, filled with curiosity and scrutiny. It was unprecedented for a woman to participate in the Poetry and Rites Competition, let alone win.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao exchanged glances, wondering when their fifth sister had taken part in horse racing.

Chu Qingzhi approached the Bitong Hall, “Grand Libationer, that was an accident. It can’t be considered a competition.”

Cao Changkun subtly looked at the Emperor. Seeing the Emperor’s happy expression, he knew that he had done the right thing. “Even though it was an accident, everyone saw you reach the finish line first and perform the most challenging feat of mid-air horse leaping. 1 believe no one will object to this result.”

Indeed, no one objected, not wanting to offend the Emperor or Grand Libationer. Besides, they couldn’t match Chu Qingzhi’s skill. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Emperor spoke, “What belongs to you is yours. Take it.”

Chu Qingzhi accepted the box, “Thank you, Your Majesty.” She returned to her spot, holding the box.

Seeing Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao’s curious gazes on the box, she casually handed it to them.

Curious, the brothers took the box to a corner.

Chu Xuyuan opened the box and immediately widened his eyes. It was actually a box of golden sunflower seeds, gleaming and full.

Chu Qingzhi, amused by their reaction, glanced at the box. Seeing the practical and generous reward, she smiled, liking it quite a lot.

Chu Xuyuan closed the box and handed it back to Chu Qingzhi, “Sister, you keep it. We don’t want to lose it.”

“We’ll look at it when we get back.”

“Ok.”

It took two hours to announce the results of the competition. Cao Zhangkun heaved a sigh of relief. It had finally ended.

Just then, Zhuang Yuyan stepped forward through the crowd to the front of Bitong Hall, and spoke loudly, “Your Majesty, 1 have something to say.”

The Emperor, who had some impression of Zhuang Yuyan as a talented man in couplet matching, asked, “What is it?”

When Yan Jingkui saw this scene, his heart sank. An ominous feeling rose in his heart.

Zhuang Yuyan said, “Yesterday, in the couplet contest with Yan Jingkui, it came down to a final upper couplet, which was very difficult. At that time, Yan Jingkui couldn’t come up with the lower couplet, so I said we would announce the answer this morning.”

“At that time, I couldn’t think of an excellent lower couplet either, so 1 gathered my senior and junior brothers to brainstorm.”

“Later, unable to figure out a good lower couplet, Chu Xuyuan suggested asking his fifth sister, Chu Qingzhi, whose abilities are well-known to all. After studying overnight, she wrote an excellent lower couplet.”

“However, this couplet was switched with a blank paper on the way here.”

“Your Majesty, I’m not telling you this because I want to win, but because 1 want the truth to be revealed.”

Yan Jingkui turned pale, never expecting Zhuang Yuyan to reveal this matter in front of the Emperor.

In panic, Yan Jingkui knelt down and desperately argued, “Your Majesty, that couplet was written by me, not switched. Please discern the truth.”

As soon as he said this, all the students from Yunfei School were relieved.

The Emperor wasn’t naive and quickly realized the truth, “How dare you deceive your sovereign!”

Yan Jingkui was so frightened that his body trembled. With a flustered expression, he said, “Your Majesty, 1 wouldn’t dare.”

The Emperor sternly retorted, “Just now, Zhuang Yuyan never mentioned who switched the couplet, yet you claimed you didn’t switch it. Isn’t that a confession?”

Yan Jingkui, sweating profusely, blurted out without thinking, “The couplet was switched by Luo Jisheng. I just happened to not have a lower couplet and used it. Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me!”

If Luo Jisheng knew how easily Yan Jingkui betrayed him, he would surely regret it deeply.

Cao Changkun and other students from the Imperial College glared at Yan Jingkui. The reputation of the Imperial College was now in tatters, especially after they had mocked the Yunfei School students just moments ago.

The Emperor angrily said, “Even if you didn’t participate in the switching, using someone else’s couplet reveals your low character. You don’t deserve to be a student of Imperial College!”

Yan Jingkui prostrated himself on the ground, pleading, “Please have mercy, Your Majesty. I was momentarily misguided and will never dare again.”

The Emperor, rubbing his temples in frustration, said, “Considering this is your first offense, you and Luo Jisheng are forgiven this time. For the next three years, in addition to your studies, you will also have to clean the Imperial College. Additionally, you must apologize to Chu Qingzhi until she forgives you.”

Yan Jingkui immediately kowtowed, “As Your Majesty wishes, 1 will follow your decree.”

Chu Xuyuan tugged at Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve, “Fifth, isn’t this punishment too light?”

Chu Qingzhi whispered back, “The Emperor has to take their family backgrounds into consideration. It’s not as simple as it seems. When you consider issues in the future, don’t just think of the individual but also their family background, understand?”

In this era, it was not individual interests that were paramount, but family interests. Without a strong family backing, an individual’s power is not secure..

The Emperor’s voice rang out again, filled with even more anger, “Where is Luo Jisheng?”

No one dared to speak up, as speaking might bring misfortune upon themselves in the Emperor’s current state of anger. Everyone silently lowered their heads.

Yan Jingkui, slightly lifting his head and seeing his fellow students’ resentful glances, braced himself and said, “Your Majesty, he has gone home and is not here.”

The Emperor’s cold gaze fixed on Yan Jingkui. The once pleasant event of the Poetry and Rites Competition had turned sour. If it weren’t for these two young men’s fathers working on the construction of the Wei River embankments, he wouldn’t have let them off so easily.

Yan Jingkui was trembling with fear. It was as if he had fallen into an abyss. He suddenly understood. They thought they were smart, but in fact, others could see through their little tricks at a glance. In fact, they were stupid.

Fuming with rage, the Emperor declared, “Go tell him, his punishment is doubled!” With that, he left the Imperial College.

As the Emperor departed, the atmosphere remained tense, and everyone slowly started to leave.

Mu Chongli deliberately waited at the entrance of Bitong Hall. Seeing Cao Changkun emerging, he commented, “Grand Libationer, your student is quite talented, seamlessly switching the couplet. He truly learned from the best.”

This remark added insult to injury for Yan Jingkui, who was about to stand up but immediately knelt back down, not daring to move.

Knowing what he knew now, he regretted letting Luo Jisheng hide. Having An extra person to share the burden would have been so much better!

Cao Changkun, visibly frustrated, asked Mu Chongli, “Why are you still here?”

Ignoring Cao Changkun’s question, Mu Chongli smiled and addressed the students of the Imperial College, “When you have free time, you should delve into more positive and uplifting subjects. Otherwise, you might end up hurting yourselves with your own actions.”

His comment, clearly directed at Yan Jingkui, hinted that despite escaping severe punishment, Yan Jingkui’s prospects for official advancement were now slim.

You should take better care of your own students; everyone makes mistakes.” Cao Changkun, with a stern face, approached Yan Jingkui and spoke coldly, “Get up. The Emperor has ordered you to apologize to Chu Qingzhi. What are you doing still kneeling here?”

“Yes, Grand Libationer, I’ll go right away,” Yan Jingkui quickly got up and hurriedly made his way to Chu Qingzhi.

Seeing that Yan Jingkui had gone to apologize, everyone stopped in their tracks.

In the midst of everyone’s condemning glances, Yan Jingkui arrived in front of Chu Qingzhi. He looked at the ground, too scared to meet her eyes, “I’m sorry, Miss Chu. I shouldn’t have passed off your couplet as my own.”

“You should apologize to the people of Yunfei School. They are the ones who have been ridiculed and mocked because of your actions,” Chu Qingzhi said.

Yan Jingkui felt deeply humiliated but had no other choice. He endured and said, “I, Yan Jingkui, apologize to everyone here today. It’s my fault, please forgive me.”

He regretted letting Luo Jisheng hide away, as he now had to face all of this alone, bearing the brunt of the blame that should have been shared with Luo Jisheng.

“Actually, I don’t think an apology is enough. What does everyone else think?” Chu Qingzhi wasn’t ready to let Yan Jingkui off so easily. She believed that a person must bear the consequences of their actions.

“I agree with Miss Chu. If apologies were enough, then what’s the point of laws?”

“Exactly. We’ve endured so much mockery and ridicule, and it’s all supposed to be fine with just one apology? I’m not satisfied.”

“Me neither. I came here excited for the competition, only to end up with so much frustration.”

Chu Qingzhi then suggested, “Why don’t you do something to appease everyone’s anger?”

Yan Jingkui did not dare to say no to this kind of situation where everyone was targeting him. He could only brace himself and agree. “As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely do it.”

Chu Qingzhi then said, “I’ve heard that the orphanage’s building is in disrepair, with several rooms collapsed. Your family is an expert in this field. Why don’t you lead a team to repair the orphanage? I hope it will be completed before September 24th.”

Yan Jingkui quickly agreed. “I’ll definitely get it done.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Everyone, let’s see how this… Young Master Yan performs in the coming days. Let’s go.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone continued to leave.

Xu Guannan approached Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Chu, you always think things through. If it were us, we probably would have settled for just an apology.”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “In my case, an apology isn’t enough.”

Xu Guannan smiled, “We should learn from you.”

Lin Jixian ran over and blocked Chu Xuyuan’s path. He looked unconvinced. “Chu Xuyuan, I want to challenge you again!”

Chu Xuyuan was clearly annoyed by Lin Jixian’s attitude, “I don’t accept challenges from those who’ve already lost to me!”

Lin Jixian pressed on, “Are you afraid?”

“I’m not afraid. I just feel that playing chess with someone less skilled than me won’t help me improve. It’s a waste of time.”

Lin Jixian’s face turned red with embarrassment, “That was a mistake. I’m not really worse than you!”

Chu Xuyuan didn’t care. “I don’t care if it was a mistake or not, the fact is you lost to me.”

Lin Jixian, desperate for a rematch, asked, “What do I have to do to get you to accept my challenge?”

“No matter what you do, I won’t accept it.”

“You…”

Chu Xuyuan cut him off, “I’m going home now, don’t block my way.”

Lin Jixian, realizing Chu Xuyuan was immovable, reluctantly stepped aside, watching him leave with dissatisfaction.

After Yunfei School’s students had left, Yan Jingkui immediately rushed out of the Imperial College. Although his classmates hadn’t said anything, their gazes made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He couldn’t even lift his head.

Once out of the Imperial College, he went straight to Luo Jisheng’s house.

Coincidentally, the eunuchs in the palace came to pass on the emperor’s oral decree to punish Luo Jisheng.

After Luo Jisheng heard the decree, his body went limp from fear. “Why did this matter reach the Emperor? In the future… there won’t be a future for me!”

He was filled with regret and couldn’t help but want to cry. If he knew the consequences would be so severe, he would never have swapped the couplet.

“Now everything is ruined, all ruined!!”

When Luo Jisheng came back to his senses and saw Yan Jingkui, his eyes lit up. “Brother Yan, was that a hallucination just now?”

Yan Jingkui was implicated by Luo Jisheng. If Luo Jisheng had not swapped the couplets, he would not have used it as his own. Thinking of this, he could not help but complain in his heart.

“What hallucination? It’s all real, all of it!”

Luo Jisheng shook his head in disbelief, “It can’t be, they have no proof, why would the Emperor believe it?”

Yan Jingkui guiltily said, “It doesn’t matter whether the Emperor believes it or not. The punishment has been handed down. We need to make amends now.” “Did you apologize to Chu Qingzhi?”

“I did. She asked us to repair the orphanage. I think if we fix it well, she might not hold it against us anymore.”

“Are you sure?” Luo Jisheng thought for a moment, “I have to go there personally…” His mind was filled with the thought that Chu Qingzhi was not easy to deal with and wouldn’t let him off easily.

He got up from the ground, changed his clothes, and walked out of the house.

Yan Jingkui followed him out..

Chapter 610: Unreasonable Harassment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yingmin, now Li Tingzhao, approached with a smile, “Miss Qingzhi, long time no see.”

The way he looked at Chu Qingzhi was filled with joy, his eyes twinkling like crushed stars.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the handsome man in front of her, dressed in the casual attire of a prince. His eyes were as black as ink jade, just like when she first met him, “You…”

Li Tingzhao hurriedly said, “Nothing, I’m still the same as I was at the beginning.”

Chu Qingzhi kept her distance. “I still have something on. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

Li Tingzhao, having finally encountered Chu Qingzhi, didn’t want to let her go so easily, “Can we have dinner together? You can go about your business first, and I’ll come to pick you up in the evening.”

Chu Qingzhi apologetically said, “I’m sorry, I really don’t have time.”

Li Tingzhao was visibly disappointed. His gaze at Chu Qingzhi lost its luster as if stars had fallen, “Then, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded coldly and left quickly with the two little ones.

The eunuch following Li Tingzhao said, “Your Highness, if you like this girl, you could just ask the emperor to issue a decree, why be so heartbroken?”

Li Tingzhao watched Chu Qingzhi’s fading figure in the crowd, full of longing, “She’s already engaged to the National General. Who could compete with him?”

The eunuch opened his mouth to speak but remained silent, regretting his words. Fortunately, the general wasn’t here, or he would have been in trouble.

Meanwhile, Chu Xuyuan turned to ask, “Fifth Sister, who is he?”

“He is a prince who was lost among the common people by the previous emperor but seems to have been recognized and brought back.”

“Is that possible?”

“Yes, as long as one can prove their identity and the emperor believes them.”

“I see.”

Suddenly, a hurried voice called from behind them, “Wait!”

The three of them stopped and turned around.

The person approaching was unfamiliar to Chu Qingzhi and Chu Xuyuan, only

Chu Xuiao recognized him, “Luo Jisheng, what are you doing here?”

Yan Jingkui, who didn’t dare to face Chu Qingzhi, hid beside a stall and didn’t come forward.

Luo Jisheng approached Chu Qingzhi, earnestly saying, “Miss Qingzhi, 1 apologize to you and your brothers. 1 was so eager to win that 1 did the wrong thing. I’m sorry.”

Now, he just wanted to minimize the seriousness of this matter, even at the cost of his dignity, as long as he could calm things down.

Chu Qingzhi, seeing his sincere attitude, didn’t reprimand him further, “Make better choices in the future.”

Luo Jisheng was relieved and promised, “I’ll take good care of the matter at the orphanage.”

“I hope so.”

In the residence of Prince Zhao.

The clear sound of a wooden fish echoed in the mansion, accompanied by the subtle fragrance of sandalwood, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

A young nun respectfully handed several papers to Consort Xin, “Your

Highness, I’ve found the information you wanted.”

Consort Xin opened her eyes, set aside the wooden fish, and took the papers, reading them carefully, “Who is this Chu Qingzhi?”

The nun replied softly, “The last page has information about Chu Qingzhi.”

Consort Xin flipped to the last page, and after reading, she said, “A girl from a farming family being engaged to a general is already a great fortune.”

She was slightly annoyed, “Having already been engaged, she should behave herself. Why did she get close to my son?”

Most importantly, Tingzhao was so infatuated with her that he did not even look at other women.

This couldn’t continue.

Consort Xin shouted in the direction of the door, “Someone!”

Nanny Tian entered the room, “Your Highness.”

Consort Xin ordered, “Go and call Chu Qingzhi over.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Chu Qingzhi was busy processing crabs at home and couldn’t come to see Consort Xin, so she declined.

It was the first time Nanny Tian encountered someone who dared to refuse the royal members. She hurried back and exaggerated the story to Consort Xin, blaming everything on Chu Qingzhi and absolving herself of any responsibility.

Anxious and infuriated by Chu Qingzhi’s refusal, Consort Xin decided to visit Chu Qingzhi personally.

At the Chu Residence.

Consort Xin made a grand entrance, changing into the consort attire and arriving in a grand carriage.

The guard informed Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Chu, Chu Qingzhi has arrived.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Qingzhi frowned, wondering what important matter it could be for her to visit personally, “1 understand. Let’s go and see her.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi instructed everyone in the house to stay in the inner courtyard to avoid having to kneel before Consort Xin. It was unnecessary. Then she walked out alone.

Consort Xin sat in the carriage, maintaining her dignity.

Chu Qingzhi recognized Consort Xin and approached the carriage calmly, “Your Highness, may I ask you to step out of the carriage?”

Consort Xin frowned. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

She signaled her maid, who opened the carriage curtain.

It’s her?

After that, Chu Qingzhi did not say anything. Consort Xin got out of the carriage cooperatively and followed Chu Qingzhi into the residence.

Chu Qingzhi brought Consort Xin to the living room. “Your Highness, please sit.”

Consort Xin felt that her status was different from before and directly sat on the seat of honor. Chu Qingzhi did not say anything and sat on the seat below.

A maid served tea and then left them alone.

Eager to get back to her crabs, Chu Qingzhi spoke first, “Your Highness, may 1 know the purpose of your visit?”

Consort Xin was a woman who had been in the palace before. How could she not hear Chu Qingzhi’s rejection and impatience? However, for the sake of her son, she endured it. “1 wish to discuss the matter between you and my son.”

Chu Qingzhi replied indifferently, “Your Highness might be mistaken. In my eyes, your son has always been just my patient. What’s there to discuss?”

Consort Xin was at a loss for words. Chu Qingzhi considered her son a mere patient, while her son was infatuated with Chu Qingzhi. It was clear who was delusional, and now she had even brought the matter to Chu Qingzhi’s door.

Embarrassed like never before, Consort Xin gripped her handkerchief tightly, “Miss, could it be that you made a wrong hint from time to time that caused my son to misunderstand?”

“You’re overthinking, Your Highness,” Chu Qingzhi replied, growing impatient. She continued, “Who would you choose between your son and Jinghong? You’re a woman too; if it were you, who would you pick?”

Not only did this embarrass Consort Xin, but it also made her feel that she did not know her limits.

“Chu Qingzhi, aren’t your words too harsh?”

“I don’t find them harsh, just straightforward. Otherwise, I fear you might misunderstand me,” Chu Qingzhi replied.

Consort Xin felt aggrieved and angry, but her expression did not change. “I don’t wish to misunderstand you, but Tingzhao is so focused on you that he even neglects his own marriage prospects. I’m just worried. Please understand the heart of a mother like me.”

“What do you wish me to do then?” Chu Qingzhi asked.

Consort Xin opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words. Chu Qingzhi’s message was clear: your son’s infatuation is his own delusion, and I have nothing to do with it..
