Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. The court is corrupt and plagued by internal and external troubles. Although I am currently holding the fort, this is not a long-term solution. If I were to eradicate the root of the problem, it would require a great deal of time, but Great Yan cannot afford to wait. The foreign tribes are still watching!"

"On a grander scale, if war breaks out again, I will be unable to attend to matters of the court. If the villains return, the people will once again be plunged into hell, and life will be miserable. Can you really live here without concern for worldly affairs and live a life free from conflict?"

"To put it simply, your maternal grandfather was a great Confucian scholar of our time. Since you studied under him, you must have the talent to govern the world. Are you really willing to live a secluded life here? If you were, why would you bother to learn the ways of governing a country?"

As the words fell, a gust of wind blew by, bringing complete silence to the garden.

Before long, Yun Suisi stood up, straightened his sleeves, and spoke in an increasingly cold tone.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Highness."

"Your Highness is capable, so it is only right that you do more work. After all, Your Highness is the one who wins the hearts of the people and is the one they all look up to. As for me, I am not worthy of the title of 'talent for governing the world' that Your Highness speaks of."

"Besides, the emperor is not dead yet, and the prince is already trying to win me over to divide the imperial power and commit treason. The prince may be able to do it, but I dare not say it out loud."

Jun Sui listened, his brows gradually relaxing. He curled his lips into a slight smile, "You…"

"Alright, Your Highness, I've had enough to talk about. My family is poor, so I won't keep you for dinner. Meng Dong, see the guest out."

After saying that, Yun Suisi turned and left, giving Jun Sui no chance to reply.

“Young Master Yun, you will promise me…” Jun Sui said firmly, watching Yun Suisi’s retreating figure.

……

[Host, didn't you want to use the Regent's power? Then why didn't you agree?]

"Hmph, does he think he can pressure me with his principles and ideals and force me to agree? We are partners, not superiors and subordinates. I need to see his sincerity in this partnership."

Hmm, the food at lunch today was pretty good. However,

"Meng Dong, why did you make an extra batch of glutinous rice balls? Don't make so many next time, we can't finish them."

Midsummer and early winter both looked up and stared at each other in bewilderment.

“Yes, Zhongxia understands.” Zhongxia curtsied to Yun Suisi.

……

The Regent's Palace Villa.

A man in black strode to the study door and knocked twice.

"Come in."

Inside the study, the darkness of night streamed through the window, casting a shadow on his face, dividing it into two parts, one bright and one dark.

Jun Sui sat upright, holding a black, lustrous brush. The brush tip moved freely across the paper, the characters flowing smoothly and powerfully.

The man in black entered the study, his left hand in a fist and his right hand in a palm-like gesture, bowing at a 45-degree angle.

"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Jun Sui stopped writing, folded the paper, and put it into the envelope beside him.

"Send the letter back to the capital quickly and tell them to close the net ahead of schedule."

The man in black replied, "Yes." He then withdrew.

"Wait," Jun Sui called out to the man in black.

The man in black asked, "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

Jun Sui: "...Yes, have them tidy up the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, especially the Zichen Hall and the Yangxin Hall."

The man in black replied, "Yes, I understand."

Jun Sui: "Go down."

Jun Sui thought to himself, "Only a clean and beautiful house is worthy of that noble and aloof beauty."

????????????

The next day.

An Yi knelt in the center of the hall and addressed Jun Sui, who was seated above him.

"Master, all the tasks you instructed have been completed."

Jun Sui: "Mm."

Jun looked up and saw An Yi kneeling there, hesitant.

"What, is there something else?"

An Yi recalled the prince's words from the previous night and said, "When I returned just now, I saw... I saw... Young Master Yun..."

Jun Sui: "Yun Suisi? What happened to him?"

"And you, why are you speaking so haltingly? Just say it directly."

An Yi: "..."

An Yi closed his eyes and shouted, "I saw Young Master Yun go to Yaofang Pavilion in the west!"

Jun Sui: "..."

Upon hearing this, Jun Sui's brows furrowed involuntarily, and his lips tightened.

Click.

An Yi opened one eye and saw the prince's face, as black as the bottom of a pot, as if a storm was brewing.

Dark One: (⊙﹏⊙)

Jun Sui immediately stood up and strode outside, shouting as he went, "Someone, prepare the horses."

Dark One: (??????)??

An hour ago.

Midsummer: "Master, there is news that the last place where the foreign spies appeared and left traces was the Yaofang Pavilion in the brothel."

Yun Suisi: "Is the information accurate?"

Midsummer: "No problem."

Yun Suisi: "Alright, go and make preparations with Meng Dong. We'll go to Yaofang Pavilion now."

Zhongxia: "Yes, Zhongxia obeys."

.........

Yaofang Pavilion.

Madam: "Oh my goodness~, which young master is this? Which beauty would you like to serve in my humble abode today?"

Yun Suisi shook the fan in his hand: "Madam, I've heard that your beauties are famous, and your wine is also exceptional."

The madam flattered, "Look at what you're saying, young master! Our establishment is renowned throughout the land for both its beautiful women and its fine wines. If we're second to none, who dares to say we're first? Young master, you've truly come to the right place!"

Yun Suisi smiled calmly, "Is that so? Then I'll take Miss Bai Yue and the Sangluo wine."

Madam: "Alright, alright, I'll have Bai Yue come right away."

After she finished speaking, the madam went out the door: "Bai Yue~ Hurry up and serve our distinguished guests, and pimps~ Hurry up and bring our mulberry wine, what are you all dawdling for~."

Bai Yue: "Coming!"

pimp: "Yes, yes, I'll be right there."

Bai Yue pushed open the door, entered the room, and slowly walked towards Yun Suisi, curtsying: "This humble woman, Bai Yue, greets you, sir."

Yun Suisi glanced at the pimp pouring wine beside him and said, "You can go down now."

The pimp put down his wine jar: "Yes, sir. If you need anything, just call me. I'll take my leave now."

After the pimp left, Bai Yue knelt down before Yun Suisi: "Your subordinate greets you, young master."

Yun Suisi picked up his wine cup and took a few sips: "Hmm. Zhongxia said you sent her a message saying there was news of foreign spies..."

Bai Yue: "Yes, Your subordinate..."

At this moment, downstairs at Yaofang Pavilion.

Jun, accompanied by An Yi, strode into the pavilion.

While the madam was attending to the guests, she spotted Jun Sui standing at the door, tall and imposing, yet with an angry expression. Her eyes lit up slightly.

"Oh my, young master, are you new here? What kind of girl are you looking for?"

Seeing that his master was in a bad mood, An took the initiative to step forward and said to the madam.

"Madam, have you seen a man with an ethereal appearance, dressed in red, perhaps with two maids following behind him?"

The madam's smile faltered: "This... um... young master, this is a place for pleasure, not for information gathering."

"Besides, with people coming and going, how am I supposed to know who you're looking for?"

An Yi took out a stack of silver notes and waved them in front of the madam: "Answer me, and all of these are yours."

The madam's old face immediately broke into a wide smile: "Oh dear, what are you saying, young master?"

"You know what, I actually just saw someone who fits the criteria, he was..."

boom.

Jun looked up and immediately saw a red figure dodging.

With a heart full of turmoil, he rushed up to the second floor.
