Group of Flowers Pavilion.

ping pong...

pa pa pa...

In the room, filled with a rich fragrance of rouge and perfume, came the sound of fighting.

The teacups on the table were knocked to the floor, and the jewelry box was overturned.

The two maidservants attending by the side were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, shrinking their necks like trembling quails in a cold wind, not daring to raise their heads at all.

"What's going on? Why are you fighting in broad daylight?"

The plump old madam cried out and ran into the room. Seeing the mess all over the floor, her heart ached with pain.

Immediately, she saw Zi Yan standing stiffly beside the table. The madam's brows furrowed.

"You two clumsy fools, you can't even serve a girl properly? What are you kneeling here for? Get out!"

The madam sent the two maids away, then tiptoed to Ziyue's side.

"Girl, what's wrong? Who angered you so much? Tell mother, I'll stand up for you..."

"It's Yun-niang!"

Zǐyān suddenly turned around, his face contorted in fury.

>

The madam jumped back in fright.

“What? Yun-niang?” she was taken aback.

"You're talking about the courtesan Yunniang under Xiangyulou Hua Jie, that old whore?" The madam asked.

Purple smoke let out a snort.

The madam was even more stunned. "Young Master Fang wrote a letter? Didn't Yun Niang drown herself?"

Ziyan gritted her teeth: "A curse lasts for a thousand years. Even if we die, that bastard won't die!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" asked the madam.

She immediately told the madam about having met Yun Niang at Jinxiu Xuan two days ago, and about sending a maidservant to deliver a message to Young Master Wan Qingchun in private.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

That maid, I wonder what enchanting means she used on the young master.

"Not only did the young master not arrest her, but he also released all the people from Xiangyu Lou!"

The purple smoke billowed out with a whoosh.

Over these past two days, she has been out of the capital city, accompanying a noble patron and old benefactor on a trip outside the city for recreation.

I just got back and heard the news.

The madam was furious when she heard this.

"Such things actually happen! It's infuriating! Seems like that dead Hua Jie is going to come and steal our business from Qun Fang Ge again," the Madam said.

"No, Ziyuan, you have to hurry and find Young Master again."

"With your skills, you're sure to win over the young master to our side."

“As long as the Young Master backs up our Qunfangge, her Xiangyulou won’t dare to mess with us again!”

The madam urged.

The purple smoke shook its head.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I’ve looked everywhere, Your Lordship hasn’t come to see me at all!” she said.

"How could this be?" The madame was even more astonished.

"You play the flute so well, each time you make the young master lose his soul. How could he possibly stay away?" asked the madam.

Purple smoke shook her head: "I don't know why, he just replied with two words."

"Which two characters?" the madam asked.

"Egg hurts." Ziyan said.

>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"What do you mean 'a pain in the eggs'? I don't understand." The madam said.

>

Even the purple smoke shook its head.

The young master is an honest customer. This time he didn't come, and his reason is very sincere.

It's really annoying.

The backyard of the National Duke's Mansion.

Little Prince Wanqingchun lay sprawled on the soft bed, a strawberry in his hand.

He was being massaged by several girls, with them kneading his legs and feet. He was so comfortable that he hummed softly.

These were not the ones who had swum naked with him in the pool that day, a new batch had taken their place. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

It was given to me by Qixingyun.

Wan Qingchun was eating strawberries while pondering the matter.

Hehehe, this Cloud King really knows how to reward someone! Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Before the gate of Jinxiu Hall, a heavy oppressive presence hung in the air.

Then he immediately sent another batch of beauties back. Hehe, it seems that he still doesn't dare to offend the Duke's Mansion and wants to win over a vote in the upcoming competition for the crown prince.

Mmm, strawberries are delicious and sweet.

I heard, that day in front of Jinshixuan's gate, the girl standing with Yunniang, that vixen, who was she?

He's quite skillful and his insults are particularly sharp.

What a clever one, little chili!

That kid Qixingyun was deliberately putting on airs and showing off to me that day, just to please that little chili pepper, wasn't he?

Well, a fiery woman, I want to conquer her too!

"Hiss..."

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and Wan Qingchun gasped.

What are you doing? Where are you reaching?

He saw a girl beside him, who was giving her a leg rub, and she glared at him.

The young girl was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately knelt down and trembled, saying, "Young Master, please forgive me! It wasn't intentional, I accidentally bumped into your...your..."

Wan Qingchun rolled his eyes: "You clumsy bitch, you can't even knead a leg properly. Don't you know how much my egg hurts?"

"Yes, yes, this servant is foolish, young master please forgive me!"

The young girl kept bumping her head on the edge of the soft headboard.

Ke Wanqingchun even more agitated.

"Get the hell out, all of you! Leave me alone!"

>

The girls were frightened and hurriedly filed out.

>

When only Wan Qingchun was left in the house, he let out a long sigh.

These submissive women, they are truly not fun to be around.

Women are more interesting when they're a little spicy, hmm, Qi Xingyun's eyes seem pretty good.

Someday, when my ass stops hurting, I'm going to switch up my diet.

The next day, before dawn had broken, three or four horse-drawn carriages drove out of the inn.

At the gate of the south gate in the capital, Mu Zi Chuan got off his carriage.

"I'll leave it here, have a safe journey."

He stood outside the carriage and addressed Yang Ruqing inside.

Yang Ruqing nodded. "I'll bring your mother the things and messages you asked me to. I'll make sure they stay exactly as you told me."

"You can prepare for the palace exams in Beijing with peace of mind. Your mother and we will take care of everything here. We'll be waiting at home for your good news."

>

Mu Zichuan had passed the imperial examination (hui shi) in the previous round and was now a jinshi.

Next, we just wait for the imperial examination at the Golden Luan Hall.

If he were to be chosen by the emperor as one of the top three in the palace examination, then he would truly become famous throughout the land.

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Mu Zichuan smiled gratefully.

He brought his gaze back, falling on Luo Fengtang: "Take care all the way."

Luo Fengtang nodded.

Then, three carriages drove away, heading south along the road, under Mu Zichuan's lingering gaze.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Until they disappeared from view as three tiny black dots, he let out a sigh and turned back towards the city.

Yang Ruoqing was wrapped in a blanket in the carriage, and continued to doze.

When I woke up, the carriage had been out of the capital for a long, long time.

She stretched and walked to the front, where she sat shoulder to shoulder with Luofengtang.

"Here, have a pastry to line your stomach."

She stuffed a piece of plum blossom cake into his mouth, letting him take a bite. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then he bit the place, and then ate it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As Luo Fengtang hurried in the carriage, he couldn't help but glance at her.

"How's your sleep?" he asked.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "In one word: refreshing!"

He smiled. "That's good."

Yang Ruqing sat beside him, nibbling on pastries.
