Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

In the Jiaofangsi, Zhang Fengluan was the king. No one, from top to bottom, dared to disobey him. Once he got angry, all the girls would scatter.

"Hehe, Master Ling, you have come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Zhang Fengluan's face was full of smiles and he walked forward to greet them enthusiastically.

"How come Brother Zhang has become so polite? It's like we've become so distant."

Ling Chuan said something polite and went to greet him.

"Master Ling, I am not being polite. I am really grateful to you." Zhang Fengluan extended his hand and pointed in the direction of Lotus Garden. "Master Ling, you don't know that since we started performing Liang Zhu last month, every show has been sold out. Our Jiaofangsi has become very famous in the capital this time."

"That's great. To be honest, I came here today because of the play."

"Oh?"

As they were talking, they arrived at Lotus Garden. Tao Ran had already asked Mother Zhang to prepare tea and snacks to entertain Ling Chuan.

Several people sat down in the pavilion: "I came here today to ask for something."

Zhang Fengluan acted modestly: "Mr. Ling's matter is the top priority of our Jiaofang Division. It doesn't matter whether you ask for it or not."

"I have opened a shop in partnership with someone else, and I plan to invite people from the Jiaofangsi to perform a play."

"No problem, Master Ling, just name a date..." Zhang Fengluan paused, "But isn't it inappropriate to stage a play before opening this shop?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Fengluan said: "Although Liang Zhu is very popular, all the young ladies and wives who come to watch the play come laughing and leave crying. On such a happy day as the opening of a shop, if the guests are made to cry..."

Ling Chuan smiled and said, "It's okay. I plan to stage another play for the opening ceremony."

"Another play?"

Zhang Fengluan's eyes suddenly lit up, and Tao Ran also came closer, almost touching Lingchuan, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

"Master Ling, do you have a new storybook?"

Ling Chuan nodded: "That's right, there is a storybook called The Romance of the West Chamber."

"The West Chamber?"

"Appreciate further details."

Lingchuan drank a sip of tea and then told the story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying.

Even though he just gave a brief summary, Tao Ran listened attentively, especially when he talked about Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying's secret meeting in the West Chamber, her face turned red and she bit her lower lip lightly.

"Ahem... this is the story. Compared to Liang Zhu, Romance of the West Chamber has a perfect ending. It shouldn't make people cry."

Zhang Fengluan clapped his hands and cheered: "Mr. Ling is indeed a talented man. This story is really brilliant. The most important thing is that this story is not only loved by women, but also by men. If it is staged, it will definitely be more brilliant than Liang Zhu."

As he spoke, Zhang Fengluan looked up at the sky: "My experience back then was similar to Zhang Sheng's. It's a pity that there was no matchmaker, and I never met Cui Yingying in the West Chamber. Otherwise..."

Zhang Fengluan suddenly realized something was wrong and cleared his throat awkwardly: "Well, Master Ling and Tao Ran should think about the script carefully. I will go and arrange some wine and food. Master Ling must have dinner here before leaving. We in the Jiaofang Bureau are all grateful for your kindness."

Ling Chuan stood up and bowed: "Brother Zhang, you are too polite. I will be disrespectful to refuse. The time for this play is a bit tight. I guess I will come to disturb you frequently in the next few days. I apologize in advance."

"Hey, Master Ling, what are you talking about? Even if you live here from now on, we would be more than happy to accept you."

As Zhang Fengluan spoke, he winked at Tao Ran, causing Tao Ran to lower his head in embarrassment.

Ling Chuan could only pretend not to see it. After Zhang Fengluan left, the two of them exchanged glances and then looked away.

The maid prepared the pen and ink, Tao Ran was also ready, and Lingchuan began to tell the story from the time when Zhang Junrui encountered Cui Yingying when he rescued the temple.

Although it has been told before, the details still need to be repeatedly scrutinized, especially when Shengshi Liuli opened, it could not be performed for too long, so Lingchuan directly cut a lot of the plot.

For example, when bandits surrounded the Puji Temple and asked for reinforcements, Lingchuan simply performed a simplified version of the hero saving the beauty. The plot in which Cui's mother wanted to betroth Cui Yingying to her nephew Zheng Heng was also only briefly mentioned, with only the focus on the matchmaker's matchmaking, the secret meeting in the West Chamber, and the happy ending at the end. Only one point was highlighted, that is, the lovers finally got married.

After all this trouble, the entire script was not finished until dark, so I had to eat and continue.

While Ling Chuan was working hard, Lu Xi was unhappy. When Cao Huanchun left, Lu Xi had instructed that as soon as Ling Chuan came back, he should let Chuyi send him a pigeon message. However, he waited and waited until the third watch before he got any news from Chuyi.

After opening the note, Lu Xi was so angry that he ran to the Jiaofang Bureau to have a secret meeting with Tao Ran the next day after he came back.

Fortunately, Chuyi mentioned at the end of the note that the two of them were discussing the script until midnight and did not do anything inappropriate.

But Lu Xi still felt sour in her heart. Ling Chuan was going to the Jiaofangsi more and more frequently. If this continued, what if Tao Ran got the upper hand one day...

"Chujiu, write back to your senior brother and ask Lingchuan to meet at Jilong Mountain at 3 pm tomorrow."

Ling Chuan hadn't stopped for two days since he came back, and hadn't even visited the Criminal Investigation Department. He also had no idea about the progress of the case at the Ministry of Justice.

So he went back to San Tiao Lane and fell asleep immediately, not knowing at all that Lu Xi was tossing and turning in bed because of him.

"I haven't seen this person for more than two months, and he doesn't even think of looking for me..."

Lu Xi muttered to herself while lying on the bed, and then she remembered that Ling Chuan had specially asked Cao Huanchun to bring her a message, and she muttered again: "You haven't even met me yet, but you're in a hurry to meet another woman..."

She also thought that Ling Chuan went to the Criminal Investigation Bureau to do serious business, and it was related to his mother, and Cao Huanchun said that Ling Chuan had guessed that his mother was related to her, so when she put all the things together, she felt that everything Ling Chuan did was for her, so she really couldn't get angry.

Although he couldn't find a reason to be angry, Lu Xi felt unhappy. After thinking about it, he managed to find an excuse.

"No matter what, it's wrong for him to see another woman, hum..."

With this excuse, Lu Xi finally fell asleep.

In the dream, Lu Xi gave Ling Chuan a good scolding and vented her anger, but the scene in the dream somehow turned to the bed, and for a moment, the dream was beautiful and extremely affectionate.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Wei Dongxian finally woke Lu Xi up after shouting outside the door until his throat was hoarse.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up. You won't be able to make it to the morning court."

"understood."

When Lu Xi stood up, she realized that her clothes had been completely stripped off without her noticing. Lu Xi couldn't help but blush and spat, "How shameless."
