Moonlight and wind

"Wuji?" Shan Zimo asked Shan Boyu, "Who is this for?"

"There is no specific person," Shan Boyu pulled Shan Zimo's robe and signaled him to kneel down quickly, "This Wuji is the highest level of martial power, so what is worshipped is not a certain person, but martial power!"

"It seems that the Wu Kingdom's worship of military force is really not exaggerated!" Shan Zimo lay next to him again, resting his arms on his head and crossing his legs. "Do you think there are any ancient martial arts books in the Linglong Tower?" The rumor that was casually mentioned at a glance aroused Shan Zimo's interest.

"Forget about it. We are not allowed to enter the Linglong Tower." Shan Boyu pounded his kneeling legs, "Unless you have the special permission of the hall master."

"How do you get a franchise?"

"Why don't you end the punishment now and go ask the hall master yourself." Seeing that Shan Boyu didn't want to pay attention to him, Shan Zimo simply closed his eyes and rested.

The two knelt in the Punishment Hall until midnight, and Ziyu told them that they could go back to Longyin Garden to rest. Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu strolled towards the top of the mountain. The exquisite tower on the top of the mountain was brightly lit, illuminating Longyin Garden in front of them.

"Let's go and take a look, and we promise not to go in!" Shan Zimo said, and then he bypassed Longyin Garden and ran towards Linglong Tower. When Shan Boyu caught up with him, Shan Zimo had already been stopped by Hanyu disciples.

"Young Master, please go back!"

"It must be tiring to work the night shift, right?" Shan Zimo looked inside. The door was closed and he couldn't see anything. "Why don't we go to Longyin Garden to have a rest?"

"Young Master, you should go back!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Seeing that there was no possibility of getting in, Shan Zimo had to give up, took a few steps back, and walked towards Longyin Garden.

"Bai Yu, think of a way to get in!"

"Didn't I tell the young master? You need to get the hall master's permission. You'd better give up any other ideas!" After hearing this, Shan Zimo jumped into the large vat in the courtyard and went to sulk.

"Father," in the Hanlin Mansion, Hanlin Qu walked into Qu Xuanyue's room.

"Yue'er, just prepare as you should. There is still room for maneuver regarding the talent show!" Qu Hanlin said excitedly.

"Ah?" Qu Xuanyue was a little surprised. "Where is the room for maneuver?"

"You don't need to worry about this, just prepare!" Qu Hanlin's attitude was very firm, as if successfully entering the palace was a foregone conclusion! After saying that, Qu Hanlin left the wing room with some pride.

"Miss, what's going on?" Zi Ling'er didn't understand. "Did Dad go to see anyone?" Qu Xuanyue sat on the chair and thought, "Zi Zhong!"

The servant Zi Zhong ran in, "Miss, what's the matter?" Although his wounds had not healed yet, he was much better. "Go ask at the door and see who the master went out to meet?" "Yes, I'll go right away!"

"Oh! It looks like it will be done soon!" Shunxi returned to his original position on the porch. Seeing Zizhong coming, he immediately went to greet him. "Brother, is there something important that you are here for?"

"That's right, Miss, I want to know where the master has been these two days?"

"Our master almost broke down the threshold of Young Master Shan's Longyin Villa!" Shunxi helped Zizhong sit down on the porch.

"The last few times, the master always came back dejected, but just now, he smiled so hard that it looked like he wanted to eat someone!"

"It seems that someone in that mansion has agreed to the master's request!"

"what's up?"

"It's about the Miss Selection!"

"We ruined it!" Shunxi said in a low voice.

"Hush! Don't dare to say anything! I just don't know who is responsible for this matter in that mansion."

"Why not let Shunxi ask around for my brother!" Shunxi said with a smile.

"Why? Do you know someone in that mansion?" Zi Zhong asked in surprise. "I only heard that the mansion was owned by a young master, and he brought his own servants. Who do you know?"

"Brother, have you forgotten that Princess Jinyu is also living in the mansion now!"

"I can't believe you know someone from Princess Jinyu?"

"Oh, they are all miserable people! Xiaodouzi and I grew up together. In order to make more money, his father sent him to the palace to be a palace maid. Last time when I went to the mansion to deliver a letter to the young master, I met him!" Shunxi said proudly.

"But can he know about our master?"

"That boy is very smart, but of course he is not as smart as me!" Shunxi smiled innocently, "He is now a popular figure around Princess Jinyu! I just don't know if he will tell me given our friendship."

"You can give it a try!" Zi Zhong touched his chin, "But how can you see him? The mansion is guarded by guards, so it may be difficult to get in."

"Don't worry about these things, I'll take care of them! It's windy outside, go back first and wait for my news! Tell the young lady not to worry!" After saying that, Shunxi walked towards the Longyin Villa opposite.

Zi Zhong was worried and watched him from the porch. He saw him say a few words to the guard at the gate and then go in. Zi Zhong then went back.

"I, Shunxi, would like to ask for a teapot for brewing tea on behalf of my Miss Qie." Shunxi said to the guards of Longyin Villa with a silly smile.

"Why don't you use a teapot to make tea? Why do you have to come to our house to ask for it?" The guard was a little alert. After all, the incident that damaged the young master's reputation had just happened not long ago. If he made Princess Jinyu angry again, he would suffer as well.

"Well, who said it wasn't!" Shunxi clasped her hands together in front of her, looking very embarrassed, "I am the eldest daughter, and I insisted on using the teapot that our host uses to make tea, saying that the tea brewed in that way will have the flavor of Mo Yue Xiang Ming."

Seeing that the guard still had no intention of letting him go, he said, "We, as servants, cannot say much. Given my young lady's temper, if I go back empty-handed, I'm afraid she will come to visit again, and then the princess will be unhappy again. It would be better for me to go and get it quickly and disappear at once!" The guard waved his hand helplessly, motioning him to go in quickly, and then he sneaked into Longyin Villa.

Shunxi walked in and out of the mansion and finally met a palace servant. He followed the servant as if nothing had happened, pretending to be a servant in the mansion, and followed the palace servant to find the room where Princess Jinyu was staying.

Shunxi looked carefully and saw that the palace servant Xiaodouzi was waiting outside the door! Shunxi was hiding not far away and waved to him. Xiaodouzi listened carefully to the movement in the wing room and ran towards Shunxi on tiptoe.

"Shunxi!" Xiaodouzi shouted in surprise.

"Little Bean!" Shunxi pulled him to look at her again and again, "I almost didn't recognize you the last time I saw you. You've really become more and more successful!"

"Well, what's the point of doing this? Just trying to make a living. Did you come to see me today on purpose?"

"Exactly. It's because of my young lady's matter."

"Are you talking about the young lady from the Hanlin Mansion?"

"That's right! Did Princess Jinyu mention anything?"

"Your master did meet Princess Jinyu, but the princess didn't say anything directly," Xiaodouzi recalled. "Oh, I was right there at the time, and the princess said she would take care of it. Judging from what I see now, it was most likely about the talent show!"

"What are your plans, Princess?"

"I don't know about that. But," Xiaodouzi suddenly remembered something, "the princess will return to the palace early tomorrow morning! I'm afraid it's for the selection of concubines!"

"Ah! We don't have the ability to stop the princess from returning to the palace!" Shunxi was a little anxious, "Is Young Master Shan here?"

"He's not here. Maybe if he were here, there would be a glimmer of hope!"
