Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Emperor Jiaheng waited and waited, but all around was quiet, and there wasn't a sound from below.

Just when he thought he was hallucinating.

Hey ~

Shu Jiao emerged from a narrow crevice in the artificial rockery.

He came out, dusted off his clothes, and walked away.

Through the crack, in the cool, white moonlight, Emperor Jiaheng could clearly see Shu Jiao's face.

Emperor Jiaheng: ...

"Why is it her again?"

Whose harem is this anyway?

Why is this woman always wandering around? Doesn't her master care at all?

Sun Wenzhong: ...

Shu Jiao is a really strange girl.

Why is she always involved in any of the lively events?

With his master...

Sun Wenzhong glanced at Emperor Jiaheng—

Tsk~

Something strange has come together.

"Your Majesty, it is late and the dew is heavy. You should go back and rest early."

Sun Wenzhong offered a sincere word of advice, and then said, "Then this servant will go and investigate, young lady."

If Emperor Jiaheng hadn't insisted on joining in this humiliation in the middle of the night, would he have been frozen solid here?!

"Let's go."

Emperor Jiaheng flicked his sleeves and slowly walked downstairs. "Someone has mysteriously disappeared from the palace... We must investigate."

"Yes."

Sun Wenzhong responded in a deep voice.

What is found is not important; investigating this action is important.

This was meant to be a warning to Consort De and Consort Liang.

Meanwhile, Sun Wenzhong also gathered information about Shu Jiao.

Upon learning that she had recently been selling intelligence throughout the palace, Sun Wenzhong: ...

Sun Wenzhong: ? ? ?

Is this right?

Upon further investigation—

The fact that Consort Liang silenced that little eunuch last night was partly due to Shu Jiao's efforts.

Liangfei's head maid, Linglong, spent ten taels of silver to buy information from Shujiao before she finally caught the traitor.

Sun Wenzhong's lips twitched.

He said so.

The palace feels rather chaotic lately, a bit more lively than in previous years.

He thought it was springtime, and that the concubines, who had been well-behaved all winter, couldn't resist their restless emotions and started acting more frequently.

Co-authored…

There's a troublemaker involved.

"Oh?"

After hearing Sun Wenzhong's words, Emperor Jiaheng curled his lips and uttered a classic line, "Interesting."

Being able to sell intelligence throughout the palace made Consort Yi much more popular.

Shu Jiao is truly a talented person!

"Let's go to Yihe Palace."

Emperor Jiaheng left with Sun Wenzhong.

Sun Wenzhong sighed silently and followed him out.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

The sound of firecrackers being set off could be heard from afar, and a large group of guards and eunuchs appeared outside the Yihe Hall in a grand manner.

Consort Yi, who had been notified in advance, led her people to greet them at the door.

"This humble concubine greets Your Majesty!"

Consort Yi tightened her voice, instantly becoming soft and charming.

It's not the time to be laughing like a toad at Shu Jiao's gossip anymore.

"Ah."

Emperor Jiaheng responded and reached out to help her up.

Consort Yi glanced at him, and seeing that he was in a good mood, she immediately took his hand and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty hasn't visited me in a long time~"

Emperor Jiaheng replied perfunctorily, "I'm busy."

As for what he was busy doing, only he and Sun Wenzhong knew.

As he spoke, Emperor Jiaheng looked at Shu Jiao, who was following behind him, and said, "This palace maid looks unfamiliar."

Upon hearing this, Consort Yi's heart began to pound.

What do you mean?

A reminder? A warning? A test? A casual question?

In the brief lull of her frantic mental activity, Consort Yi still managed to reply with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is a palace maid I recently promoted, Shu Jiao."

"Ah."

Emperor Jiaheng hummed in agreement again.

Even Consort Yi, who was just saying "hmm," wanted to curse him.

how?

Mute?

Would it kill you to say two more words?

But she dared not.

She could only think about Emperor Jiaheng's meaning from a 361-degree perspective.

Seeing the troubled and distressed look on Consort Yi's face, Emperor Jiaheng, after admiring her for a while, mercifully explained, "I've heard of her. With her around, things are much more lively here."

Consort Yi's heart immediately skipped a beat—

not good!

The Emperor wouldn't...

"Your Majesty, where did you hear that?"

Consort Yi served tea with a forced smile, saying, "Shu Jiao is young and lively. With her around, it's certainly more fun for me."

"That seems to be a capable person."

Emperor Jiaheng glanced at Shu Jiao again.

Before Consort Yi could respond, he quickly changed the subject.

Consort Yi was happy to agree.

After dinner and resting at night, Emperor Jiaheng did not mention Shu Jiao again, and Consort Yi was finally relieved.

Just before closing the door, he called over his personal maid, Emerald, and said in a rather heavy tone, "You know the Emperor's temperament. Go and tell Shu Jiao not to appear in front of the Emperor tomorrow morning."

The emperor just loves to get involved in anything.

This time, they've clearly come to see what Jiaojiao's abilities are like.

Keep a close eye on him for me. If the Emperor takes him away, what joy will I have left for the rest of my life?

"master."

Jade also looked solemn. "This servant understands."

We swear to protect the source of joy in our Yihe Palace to the death!

Shu Jiao: ...

"Don't worry, I won't go out."

Shu Jiao looked at Jade, who seemed determined to sleep next to her, and sighed helplessly.

"That's only one reason."

Emerald coughed lightly and pulled out a bag of pumpkin seeds. "Last time you mentioned that there was a widow with a son in your village who sent her son to be a page to the landlord's son, right?"

"What did you see them doing by the river?"

"I haven't been sleeping well these past two nights, dear sister~ please tell me quickly."

Shu Jiao: ...

Grabbing a handful of pumpkin seeds, "crunch, crunch," "tui~"

"Let me explain in detail."

Shu Jiao chewed twice, "It was a bright, sunny afternoon, in broad daylight, and they were doing it right there in the river. The landlord's young master was quite handsome, his legs were on the rocks..."

"Ouch!"

"Ouch~!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ You have great stamina... And you even gave me a token of love? The landlord must be furious..."

Jade blushed, but her eyes remained focused and bright; she listened with great interest.

Shu Jiao spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Just like that, like this~"

She would also gesture.

Emerald felt as if she had witnessed the scene firsthand, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upwards. "What? The landlord saw it? Wouldn't he have beaten the page to death?"

"No way!"

Shu Jiao shook her head. "You didn't see it. The young master knelt down and said, 'Father, if you're going to beat me to death, beat me to death too.'"

The landlord was so angry he nearly fell over, and he ordered his men to hold down the young master as well.

Jade sighed softly, "Alas, what a tragic love story."

You're speaking too soon.

Shu Jiao chuckled, "At the crucial moment, the landlord's eldest son returned. Seeing this scene, he fully supported the young master and the pageboy being together and resolutely protected their beautiful love."

"What?"

"This eldest son was previously out of favor; even the landlords didn't consider giving him their fortunes. Why do you think that was?"

As Shu Jiao spoke, she picked up another handful of pumpkin seeds and started cracking them open. "This pageboy was originally found by the eldest young master for the young master. I heard he even gave that widow a hundred taels of silver..."
