Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Bai Zhi was stunned: "You...are you joking?"

"The crown prince of the prince's territory does not need to ask the emperor. Even if I pass the throne to someone else tomorrow, it is reasonable and legal. I am not joking."

Chu Yunchuan's tone was too serious, and Bai Zhi subconsciously asked, "Who are you passing the throne to? You don't have any children."

"Zhiheng has been the governor of Weizhou for more than two years. He is familiar with everything and is the best candidate. It may be a little difficult for him now, but after the imperial examination results are announced, the pillars of society will return to their positions. He will have his left and right arms, and I can let him go."

Bai Zhi had no doubt that he could really remove the title of King Jing from his head. She stared at Chu Yunchuan in a daze: "Aren't you afraid that you will regret it one day?"

Chu Yunchuan: "No."

His eyes were pure and clear, as if they could see into people's hearts at a glance. Compared to this, Bai Zhi's thoughts seemed to be exposed. She murmured, "Are you serious?"

"I have done what I wanted to do. As long as the people of the Thirteen States can live and work in peace, it doesn't matter to me who becomes King Jing."

"You think so now, but what about ten or twenty years from now? When you see that even the strongest love cannot withstand the passage of time, and you lose both the fish and the bear's paw, what will you do?"

Chu Yunchuan smiled and said, "So you are afraid that I will change my mind."

"…I'm talking to you seriously."

"Bai Zhi, look." Chu Yunchuan pointed to the night sky, "Do you think the moon is long-lasting?"

Bai Zhi didn't know what he was up to, so she said casually, "People only live for a hundred years, so of course looking at the moon is a long time, but when time is long enough, the moon will also break one day."

"That's it."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"If we could live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, perhaps we would eventually break down. But we only live for a hundred or eighty years. Before we can break down, you and I will be buried in the ground."

"...Are you sure that you and I will be buried first, not your true love?"

"That's why I came here." Chu Yunchuan said, "Do you want to see with your own eyes what went to the ground first?"

As the cold wind passed, Bai Zhi shuddered, and then she found that she was sweating. Chu Yunchuan did not urge her, but sat beside her and looked at the moon, with a calm expression.

After a long while, Bai Zhi started talking: "Then..."

Chu Yunchuan immediately sat up straight and looked at her, as if he was waiting for the executioner to throw the chips, his hands clenched on his knees, and Bai Zhi was so shocked that she held back the rest of her words. Chu Yunchuan whispered seductively: "Then..."

"…Then let me take a look."

The executioner untied the rope and spared the life.

The lanterns at the entrance of the Lin residence were lit, and Bai Zhi led Chu Yunchuan in through the side door. An oil lamp was lit on the round wooden table in the middle of the courtyard, and Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi sat on each side, reciting poems to each other like singing folk songs.

Bai Zhi led Chu Yunchuan through the path and asked, "Why are you still using the calming incense?"

Chu Yunchuan's eyes lit up: "Did you smell it?"

Bai Zhi: "More than that, I was almost choked to death."

"I haven't used it for a long time. I just use the calming incense to fumigate my clothes." Chu Yunchuan silently waved his sleeves to disperse the scent of the incense, and then asked, "How are you doing here?"

Of course he knew how Baizhi was doing. Not only did he send Changfeng over every month, he also came here himself a few times out of his busy schedule. He watched Baizhi chatting and laughing with the regular guests from afar. After returning to the palace, he would deal with government affairs all night long, hoping to put everything aside and come here as soon as possible.

Even though he knew it, he still wanted to hear Bai Zhi say it herself.

"Chuqi's mother was the county magistrate of Panying before. Now she comes to Qing County to do her old business. The four of us have settled down here and started a family. You have seen my small shop. Chef Xu's smoked chicken is so popular that the shop has grown inadvertently. I hired a shopkeeper to manage the shop for me, and gave her 50% of the monthly income." Bai Zhi pointed from a distance, "Those are Qiaoqiao and Chuqi. After you ordered the restoration of the imperial examination, the two children tried their best to take the exam for the scholar, and even made a bet that whoever failed would be the other's servant for a year. My goodness, after making the bet, they started to study hard from dawn to dusk, and they always quarreled in the school. The teacher didn't dare to complain to the county magistrate, so he could only come to me, which annoyed me so much that I could only serve the two ancestors well at home, and bring some midnight snacks from the store at night..." When Bai Zhi said this, her face froze and she looked at her empty hands, "...It's over, I forgot."

Chu Yunchuan: "Let me do it."

"Can you still cook?"

"After learning a little, I can still make home cooking."

Bai Zhi found it interesting: "Are you a prince and you still need to learn how to cook?"

Chu Yunchuan said meaningfully: "No matter how good the food outside is, it can't compare to the food at home. There will always be a day when it will be useful."

However, Bai Zhi didn't hear it at all: "Indeed, having many skills is always a plus."

Chu Yunchuan: "...That's the truth."

The two of them chattered on the path, startling the reader at the wooden table. Qiaoqiao dropped her book and ran over like a wolf: "Sister! Where's the midnight snack? Hey, could it be... Oh, Master Yang, sister, has this been settled?"

Chu Yunchuan: “…”

"What Young Master Yang? I'm a new employee in the store." Bai Zhi nudged Chu Yunchuan from behind, and he understood: "My surname is Yun, and my given name is Chuan. I'm staying at my boss's house. Sorry for disturbing you."

Qiaoqiao chuckled: "He has the same name as Prince Jing. This big brother will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Bai Zhi quickly cut Qiao Qiao off: "Okay, okay, don't be so joking. Yunchuan will stay at home, and ask someone to clean up the west yard."

Lin Chuqi put down the book and walked over and said, "Sister, there are guests at home today, and mother arranged for them to stay in the west courtyard."

"What about the house behind the west courtyard?"

"Someone is sleeping in that room too. There are so many people coming this time that the west courtyard is full."

Bai Zhi looked at Chu Yunchuan, and Chu Yunchuan said, "I'm not picky, I can sleep anywhere."

Lin Chuqi: "Come sleep in my yard. I'll go back and have someone clean up the side room."

Lin Chuqi is the only man in this mansion, so it would be more appropriate to let Chu Yunchuan sleep there.

Bai Zhi said, "Sleep in my yard."

After these words came out, Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi looked at each other. Lin Chuqi hesitated and said, "Sister, if this gets out, it might damage your reputation. Isn't it just right for you to sleep in my yard?"

Bai Zhi didn't care: "Go away, so that Matchmaker Lu won't bother me all the time." She patted Chu Yunchuan, who opened his eyes wide, and said, "Come with me."

"Boss." Chu Yunchuan said, "I'd better go..."

Bai Zhi grabbed Chu Yunchuan's arm without saying anything: "Let's go."

Lin Chuqi wanted to stop her, but Qiaoqiao glared at him and said, "Don't interrupt me. It's rare for an old tree to bloom. Don't pinch the flowers."

"What old tree blooms?"

"You can't tell, my sister has never been so attentive to anyone." Qiaoqiao pointed at the backs of the two people in front of her, "Let my sister do whatever she likes and be with whoever she likes. She brought us all the way here just to live a comfortable life like this. Why are you stopping her? Are you bored?"
