The court is quiet, the melon people are making trouble!

Seeing Xu Qingqing's interest, Li Chao immediately started to explain:

"It is said that the former director of the Imperial Observatory is our national teacher, a rare genius!"

"He had predicted good and bad luck, calculated the weather, and recruited talents many times during Emperor Gaozu's campaigns. It can be said that he made great contributions to the establishment of our Han Dynasty!"

"Even the Imperial Observatory in front of us was built together with our current imperial palace!"

[Fuck, it's so awesome(;｀O′)o]

[Being built together with the Imperial Palace, in Emperor Gaozu's heart, this is at least on a level higher than that of a brother!]

[Since we are all brothers, why is the Imperial Observatory in decline now? Was it a fake brotherhood in the beginning?]

Li Chao listened to Xu Qingqing's thoughts and continued:

"It is said that the Imperial Master at that time was at the peak of his powers!"

"He is the one that all the ministers in the court fawn on!"

Xu Qingqing was even more confused 7▽7～

"Then how did this place fall into decline?"

Li Chao looked around and finally spoke mysteriously to Xu Qingqing (o-wq)).oO:

"It is said that this great Imperial Master has predicted something for our Han Dynasty!"

"Everyone thought the hexagram would bring peace and prosperity to the country!"

"But the hexagram that was finally divined was not like this!"

At this point, Li Chao's voice became even lower: (??_?)

"The Imperial Master said that the hexagram shows that our Han Dynasty will be in chaos after three generations!"

"And our current emperor is the third generation!"

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing's eyes widened:

[┗(｀?Д?′)┛Oh my god! This national teacher is really talented! ]

[This thing can actually be calculated. Of course, the third generation of the Han Dynasty was going to cause chaos!]

[What an amazing person, I really want to meet him (＞＜)! ]

Xu Qingqing rubbed her hands together and looked at Li Chao excitedly:

"Go knock on the door! I need to go meet this Imperial Master!"

[My heart is surging, I am about to meet a real great god =???? =???? ?( ′—`)? ! ]

Unexpectedly, Li Chao shook his head slightly:

"Too late, my Lord! He is gone!"

Xu Qingqing immediately sighed:

"Ah, it's too late. Has he passed away?"

[That’s right, they have gone through three generations! The youngest one must be about the same age as the Crown Prince’s tutor!]

[Old age, illness, and death are normal! What a pity!]

Unexpectedly, Li Chao shook his head again (?д?)/??＝≡(((卍 !!：

"He's not dead, he just disappeared. He disappeared not long after the divination. No one has seen him since then!"

[How come the electricity doesn’t disappear in here? Is there something in there?]

"Some people say that he was secretly killed by the emperor!"

"Some people also said that he went to find a way out of the situation!"

"Of course, some people also say that he ascended to heaven!"

"In a word, it disappeared without a trace!"

"From then on, the Imperial Observatory was no longer valued and gradually fell into decline!"

After hearing what Li Chao said, Xu Qingqing became even more excited. She didn't care whether the nails on her door would be knocked off by herself, and she slammed the door of the Imperial Observatory with a loud bang:

“(Bang! Bang! Bang!) Is there anyone there? I know there’s someone! Come out and open the door!”

After a long while without any movement, Xu Qingqing, not knowing what was going on, started to tease me:

"(Bang, bang, bang!) Fu Xipei, don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are at home. If you have the ability to steal a man, why can't you open the door?"

Li Chao who wanted to follow and knock on the door?? (7_7)?? :

? ? ? ? ? ?

Who is Fu Xipei? Judging from the name, she is a woman. When did the Imperial Observatory have other women?

Why would you want to rob a man? Adults are always weird!

Just as Xu Qingqing's hands were turning red from clapping, the paint-chipped red door creaked open.

A little Taoist priest yawned as he walked out!

Xu Qingqing frowned and looked at him:

[What’s wrong with this person? He can sleep better than me!]

[Being able to sleep like this makes me look stupid!]

Xu Qingqing raised her head and looked into the yard through the little Taoist priest's shoulder:

[What's wrong? What's going on? He's listless in broad daylight. Is he possessed by some evil spirit?]

The yawning little Taoist priest rubbed his eyes and looked at Xu Qingqing twice?? (7_7)?? :

How did this person speak without opening his mouth? Could he be a martial arts master who can speak ventriloquism?

He said he was possessed by an evil spirit. What place am I in? But this is the Imperial Observatory! How could there be an evil spirit possessing me? (???)

The little Taoist priest stretched out his hand to stop Xu Qingqing from looking around the yard:

"Who are you? What's the matter?"

Xu Qianqian also dodged the little Taoist's hand and looked into the yard:

"I am Xu Fangshi who came here to serve in the government office!"

The little Taoist paused for a moment and asked in confusion:

???????

"Are you Master Xu? Impossible! You are definitely not Master Xu!"

Xu Qingqing also turned around to look at the little Taoist priest ∑ (′△｀)? ! ? :

? ? ? ? ?

"Why are you so absolute, little Taoist priest? Why can't I be Taoist Xu?"

The little Taoist shook his finger meaningfully:

"Although I have never seen the most favored minister in the heart of this emperor,"

"But everyone in the capital knows that our newly-appointed Princess Anding doesn't like to go to court!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the sun above his head:

"Look, the sun isn't even up yet, it's not even lunch time yet! How could she possibly come here?"

"And the Emperor also specially issued an order yesterday to tell our Imperial Observatory that our Princess Anding has 'difficulty getting up'. She is a patient! We must follow her lead!"

Xu. Difficulty getting up. Qingqing looked at the sun above his head, then looked around the crowded streets, and finally looked at Li Chao (?O?):

! ! ! ! ! ! !

"Super? Do I look like a powerful official?"

[Me! I don’t quite understand, when did I become a powerful minister?]

[Whose powerful official is like me?]

[I don’t meet these conditions! First, I don’t hold a high position, and second, I don’t stir up trouble in the court (???_??)]

[So how did I become the emperor's most favored minister in everyone's mind?]

[Besides, I have been given the title of a powerful official, but no one has come to bribe me. How much wealth have I lost? Damn it! (*｀w′*)v! ]

Li Chao, who heard her inner voice, wanted to cover his face right there:

My Lord, are you clear about what you should be thinking? Is it important whether he is a powerful official or not?

Didn’t you hear what this little Taoist priest said: The whole capital city!!! Officials of all ranks!!! Everyone knows that you love to sleep in!!!

Do you still want your image(?Д`)!!!

But as the most loyal follower of the master, Li Chao still restrained the urge to cover his face and answered sincerely:

"No! Who said you are a powerful official? You are the greatest pillar of the Han Dynasty!"

Xu Qingqing, who didn't care about her image at all, nodded with satisfaction and looked at the little Taoist priest again:

"I am sure that I am Master Xu! It's just that I have great respect for everyone in our Imperial Observatory, so I left home early on purpose!"

"Can I go in now?"

Seeing that the little Taoist priest still shook his head, Xu Qingqing got angry: (*≧m≦*)

[Okay! Okay! Okay! You really want me to use my trump card, right?]

[Then I will show you the power of a powerful official!]

The little Taoist priest was startled when he heard this thought, and he looked at Xu Qingqing cautiously:

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Is this person going to hit me?

The next moment, the little Taoist's head buzzed:

Oh, my goodness! She might as well have beaten me up!

Beating me up is at most physical torture, but she is damaging my reputation!

Seeing Xu Qingqing unbuttoning her shirt in an unsmooth manner, the little Taoist priest immediately covered his eyes with his hands (｀Δ′)! !!!:

! ! ! ! ! ! !

"You! You! You! How can you take off your clothes in the street!?"

"Even if I don't let you in, you can't frame me!"

Then, as if remembering something, he let go of one hand and pointed at the dumbfounded Li Chao next to him, and he was furious╰（‵□′）╯:

"Hurry up and stop your master! I don't want Qingyu, I still want it!"

"If my master saw me watching a girl taking off her clothes, he would beat me to death!"

After hearing what the Taoist priest said, Li Chao came to his senses and wanted to step forward to stop Xu Qingqing.

But thinking that his mother was a girl, I didn't know how to stop her.

I could only grab at the air next to Xu Qingqing with my hands, and my words were stuttering: (;?Д?)!!!!

! ! ! ! ! ! !

“Big big big big big big big big sir! You you you you you you are not doing this right!!!!”

Xu Qingqing spent a long time trying to unbutton the first button, and looked at Li Chao strangely (゜ロ゜):

"I, I, I, I, I'm just pulling out some evidence, what are you doing?"

"People who don't know would think I found a stuttering driver!"

[Hey! My brain suddenly started to work on its own!]

[Driver A calls out to Li Chao: Brother Chao! Please help me, I will reverse the carriage, so that it does not hit the wall behind!]

[Li Chao didn't say anything, just nodded!]

[Driver A starts to drive the horse backwards, and then hears Li Chao say “Backward…backward…backward…”]

[Then there was a loud thump, and the carriage fell onto the wall behind!]

[Driver A jumps off the carriage and sees that the back of the carriage is right in the wall.]

[The coachman immediately blew his beard and glared at the coachman: How can you be so mean? I asked you to watch the reverse, did you really want my carriage to crash into the wall?]

[It took Li Chao a long time to say the following words: We have arrived! We have arrived!]

Li Chao, who was scratching around in the air, looked at the hand holding the second button on Xu Qingqing's body and suddenly became more anxious: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

! ! ! ! ! !

Ahhh! Who can save me? Why is my adult like this?

Why didn’t you take Xiaohong out today?

Why can't I be a woman?

Just when Li Chao was going crazy, a doubtful voice came from behind (?O????):

???????

"Princess Anding?"

Qingqing undid the buttons on her hands and looked in the direction of the sound:

"Eunuch Fu, why are you here?"

Eunuch Fu looked up at the sky subconsciously?? (7_7)?? :

Didn't I just come out after breakfast? Did I spend too much time on the road? Is it time for lunch already?

Otherwise, how could I have met Princess Anding so early?

Li Chao, who was struggling in the air, seemed to have found a life-saving straw and grabbed Eunuch Fu's sleeve:

"Eunuch Fu, please! Please stop the master!"

"She insisted on taking off her clothes!"

"Take off your clothes in public!"

Only then did Eunuch Fu see that Xu Qingqing had already opened two buttons and was groping for the third.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Qingqing's wrist, not forgetting to make up for Xu Qingqing!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ:

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"My princess, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill us?"

"You think the weather is too hot? Then let's go to the carriage. It's cooler there. Can we change our clothes there?"

Xu Qingqing looked down at the clothes that had already been unbuttoned twice, but she hadn't seen the clothes inside yet, so she kindly explained:

"Eunuch Fu, you may not believe me..."

The father-in-law didn't wait for him to finish his words and immediately agreed:

! ! ! ! ! !

"Believe it! I believe it! Princess, I believe everything you say!"

Oh my God! My God, the emperor only sent me to eat a melon, but before others could eat their melons, I ate the princess's first. What does the princess want to do?

I don’t know why Xu Qingqing took off her clothes. I wanted to ask her, but I was afraid of irritating her!

Eunuch Fu glanced at Li Chao and tried to communicate with him:

[Li Chao, your master, what are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes in the street?]

Li Chao is so aggrieved?_?:

[Eunuch Fu, you may not believe me!]

[…………………]

[Be nice, if you don’t, I’ll have the Emperor chop off your entire family!]

Li Chao felt even more aggrieved (??? ? ???)嘤嘤嘤~:

[Eunuch Fu! I am the only one in our family!]

[And I don’t know either. As soon as this little Taoist priest said that adults were not allowed to enter, the adults took off their clothes! I couldn’t stop her!]

[You still insist that she is trying to find evidence. What evidence could there be in her clothes?]

Eunuch Fu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared (although he didn't), looked at the little Taoist priest who was peeking at him, and communicated with him again in his heart:

[What's wrong with you, little Taoist priest? Why don't you let Princess Anding in?]

But the little Taoist priest didn't react at all!

Grandfather Fu (; 一_一):

………………

I forgot about that. After another discussion in the court this morning, I found that if we want to communicate with each other from the heart, Princess An Ding must be present.

Even if Princess Anding is here, there are still some people who have opinions about Princess Anding and cannot hear them!

Eunuch Fu held Xu Qingqing's hand and spoke cautiously:

"Princess Anding! I believe everything you said, but I still want to hear what you have to say?"

Xu Qingqing wanted to slide the hand that was holding down Eunuch Fu downwards, but after sliding for a long time, it didn't move. She could only compromise and said:

"Didn't the emperor give me a yellow jacket? I just want to show this little Taoist my evidence!"

Eunuch Fu, Li Chao, Little Taoist Priest: (??д?)b☆d(?д??)

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

………………

Eunuch Fu immediately released his hand and buttoned up Xu Qingqing's clothes:

"Oh, my princess, why are you so low-key? Why don't you wear the yellow jacket outside?"

Xu Qingqing looked at the buttons that were buttoned up again and blinked:

"My father said that I should keep a low profile when I go out. This is a life-saving talisman given to me by the emperor. I must keep it well hidden!"

Eunuch Fu took a deep breath:

"Then can't you just tell the little Taoist priest? You have to demonstrate it on the spot, it's going to scare the kid!"

"Eunuch Fu, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's my father who said that when using the yellow jacket, you must learn to kill with one blow, and never nag when you can take action!"

The breath that Eunuch Fu wanted to take was stuck in his chest! He buttoned up Xu Qingqing's clothes and tidied her clothes:

"Princess, now that I'm here, you don't have to take off your clothes... you don't have to show them off, I'll take you in right now!"

Master Xu is such a good father! Isn't this just teasing his own daughter?

Go back and tell the emperor, and let him scold him!

If there is really no other choice, you might as well change to the Imperial Sword. At least Princess Anding won’t have to take off her clothes anytime and anywhere!

When Eunuch Fu brought Xu Qingqing into the Imperial Observatory, he saw the dilapidated building and weeds in the corners, and couldn't help feeling sad:

Alas! He was considered a good friend of the Imperial Master back then! But a good person is gone just like that!

When Xu Qingqing was looking around the yard, she discovered that although the people in the yard were dressed in white, they were not as ethereal as the legend said!

Instead, it was like a wandering soul, floating around in the yard!

[Yeah, what's wrong with these people? Why are they the same as the little Taoist priest just now!]

[These pale lips, blurry eyes, and big dark circles! ]

[I haven't slept for 800 years, right? I didn't know astrology was such a hard job!]

[It’s just fortune telling! Isn’t it better to just look up at the sky at night, do some calculations, and then everything will be fine?]

This might be what Xu Qingqing was thinking. It sounded too disrespectful to the people of the Imperial Observatory!

All the wandering souls opened their eyes wide and looked at her.
