Daily life in the academy

It was Yan Qingchen, but at this moment he had shed the childishness of seventeen or eighteen years old. His facial features were much more three-dimensional and distinct, and his temperament was restrained and steady, but he looked to be only in his early twenties.

Turning around, he was caught off guard and stared at Bai Zhi. His originally sharp and serious expression immediately softened, and his tone even had a hint of intimacy: "Why did you follow me quietly?"

Bai Zhi looked around, even looking back, but there was no one there. Confirming that he was talking to her, she pointed at herself and said, "Are you talking to me?"

Yan Qingchen's eyes were rather doting. "What's this act? You're wearing the Yunlu Academy uniform today. Are you missing your school days? Or are you going to attend classes with the little emperor?"

To be honest, Bai Zhi was a little confused. She tilted her head and exclaimed, "Brother Yan, what did you say?"

"You really dressed up?" Yan Qingchen's lips curled slightly, and he shook his head helplessly: "Azhi, let's go."

Bai Zhi stared blankly at the person in front of her getting closer and closer. When she opened her mouth to ask where he was going, the picture was suddenly interrupted and the disturbing sound of a rooster crowing came to her ears.

She covered her ears, trying to trick her brain into thinking she was asleep and return to her previous dream. But today the rooster seemed particularly excited, crowing for a full quarter of an hour. Bai Zhi lay on the bed with no desire to live, staring at the ceiling. A crystal tear fell. Damn that rooster! Return her to the gentle and charming Yan Qingchen. She was so close to hugging that narrow waist that she had been drooling over for so long!!!

....Recite it in your mind a hundred times, and stew it sooner or later!

Bai Zhi was no longer sleepy. She rubbed her face, got up from the bed and put on her clothes. It was just dawn outside the window. She thought to herself that next time she had a day off, she would just beg and pony up to sleep in the palace. The service was good and the experience was so good that it would be no better than staying in a high-end hotel.

Although the canteen also provides meals during the holidays, they require payment. Bai Zhi was tired of eating the same meals every day, so she decided to go into the city to the West Market to buy some delicious snacks and cakes.

It is early summer now, and the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides are becoming more lush and green. The morning dew is very heavy, and if you are not careful, the corners of your clothes will get wet.

Baizhi walked towards the city on the dew. The sunlight slowly filled the entire forest. Occasionally, some light leaked onto her face, and she felt the scorching temperature.

The dream from last night kept circling in her mind, and she had countless questions in her heart. The prince was now in his twenties, in good health, and deeply loved by the people. He also had the support of a powerful maternal family, so he would not step down easily. Even if he was no longer able to do so, there were still the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Gong. How could such a young person become the emperor?

Forget it, I'd better keep it in my heart for now. At least Meng Yanqingchen's status and position are only high, so I just have to hold on to his thigh.

By the time Baizhi reached the West Market, she was covered in a thin layer of sweat. She sat down in front of the wonton stall she often went to and ordered a bowl of wontons. She fanned herself manually while waiting for the wontons.

At this time, two men sat down at the square table next to them. They looked like farmhands working in the West Market.

The two men chatted incessantly, one boasting about how tyrannical his boss was, the other complaining about his boss's harsh demands.

A topic that has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present: working people have a miserable life.

Bai Zhi suddenly felt bored, and her wontons happened to be served, so she withdrew her attention. However, when she was eating the third wonton, the conversation between the two attracted her attention again.

"Were you at the execution yesterday? I heard it was the first real beheading in recent years. The blood splattered everywhere. It was truly horrifying."

"You went? My boss is very strict, so I didn't dare go. But I did hear some gossip from my boss yesterday. He wasn't killed unjustly. It was said that he was in collusion with the Di Kingdom delegation. Wasn't it the prince of Di who initially complained to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice because of the disappearance of his concubine?"

"Are they still connected? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"I just heard the boss's general idea. The day before yesterday, officials found the concubine in Yanshoufang, where the Di Kingdom delegation was staying. The Di prince had been hiding her in the house. The boss said that the Di prince had ulterior motives and might have been colluding with that bastard. Fortunately, the conspiracy was not exposed, otherwise both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice would have suffered."

"Damn it! They're still thinking about colluding with other countries. Did they leak some secrets?"

"My boss didn't say anything about this. Well, there's no need to worry. If anything goes wrong, the officials will take care of it. We ordinary people should just live our lives well."

"That's true, but I'm still mad. That bastard killed so many young women. Damn it! I haven't even got married yet..."

"...Okay, that's all you've got. I'll let you save up for a wife. Now that you have a little money, all you do is drink. No good girl would want to be with you."

"I just couldn't help it. Wine is a good thing."

"..."

Baizhi finished the last wonton, put down the five cents and left decisively.

It seems that this was the matter that Yan Qingchen had to deal with the day before yesterday. I don’t know how the prince of Di Kingdom would deal with it. After all, he is a prince of another country, and he cannot be dealt with at will according to the laws of Yan Kingdom.

But... these have nothing to do with Bai Zhi. She walked briskly to the original bookstore.

In the past two months, Bai Zhi bought rice paper from his shop several times and became a regular customer. The shop owner's surname was Liu, so Bai Zhi called him Manager Liu.

It was still early today, and Shopkeeper Liu had just opened his shop and set up the necessary utensils when he saw a regular customer coming in. He greeted him warmly: "Young Master, are you taking a day off again today? Are you out of rice paper again?"

"No, no, no, Shopkeeper Liu, I'm here to buy books today." Bai Zhi smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. "Do you have any good stuff here?"

"Young Master, you've come by chance. Yesterday, just yesterday, a batch of the latest storybooks arrived."

Shopkeeper Liu led Baizhi to the bookshelf and showed her the books one by one. Just looking at the names was very exciting, such as "The Love Between a Man and a Fox", "The Hunter and His Little Pretty Girl", but there was also a book with a single name "He". Baizhi picked it up and was about to read it, but was stopped by Shopkeeper Liu.

"Young man, I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of book. But since you are so fair and clean..." Shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything else, but he looked at Bai Zhi up and down with excitement in his eyes as if he had discovered something new.

To be honest, that look was quite offensive. Bai Zhi became even more curious about the book: "Manager Liu, isn't this just an ordinary storybook? Is there any difference?"
