After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

The next day has arrived.

The guests got up as usual, ate noodles, and then each received their tasks and set off.

Sheng Hanyu and Pei Canxing planned to investigate the chili field today, so they didn't go with Ye Sanqing. They also took the director with them.

Deng Lingxuan thought she was now quite skilled at feeding chickens and pigs, so she pulled Ji Wan along to continue the job.

Pan Hongyu and Yin Xiangming took on the task of repairing the roof and cleaning the house for the elderly, including weeding.

Ye Sanqing decided to go collect firewood. After all, the director had reminded him, so it was better to prepare when he had some free time.

Ye Wanyin had nowhere to go. She didn't want to fix the roof or have any more contact with animals. She wanted to go with Sheng Hanyu and the others, but they told her directly that they didn't need her.

She could only silently follow Ye Sanqing.

There was no other way; she couldn't catch fish. If she took on jobs herself, the most she could do was clean rooms, and she knew that wouldn't get much screen time. It was better to create controversy with Ye Sanqing, even if it meant risking being pushed off the mountain by him.

"If only you had thought of that sooner, you wouldn't have had to postpone doing the task until the next day if you didn't do it on the first day," Ye Sanqing said.

Ye Sanqing didn't object to her coming along, but he laid down three rules:

First, work must be done;

Second, no nonsense is allowed;

Third, there is a third point to make it seem more formal.

Then Ye Sanqing silently gathered firewood, and casually picked up the mushrooms he had seen earlier.

She was thinking about what dish to add to her meal tonight. Sigh, she didn't know what mushrooms were for, so she decided to take them back and show them to Xiao Sheng.

At this moment, Ye Wanyin asked, "Sister, what do you think of Teacher Sheng?"

"What do you mean, 'how do you see it'? You're not allowed to talk nonsense. Think carefully before you speak." Ye Sanqing directly refused to answer.

Please allow me to briefly support Ye Wanyin; I also want to know the answer to this question!

[It's urgent, this will determine whether my ship will have a happy ending or a bad ending]

[Heh, now that you need something, you only know to call Wanwan? You guys are really something...]

Don't make her sound so important; whether you ask me or not is irrelevant.

"Well..." Ye Wanyin had learned a lesson: she couldn't directly say that the two of them had any relationship, but rather she had to phrase it in a way that would stir up controversy. "I noticed that Teacher Sheng's attitude towards my sister is a bit special, so... does my sister have feelings for him?"

Ye Wanyin framed the conversation as a heart-to-heart talk between sisters, hoping to get information out of Ye Sanqing.

Normally, any girl would start to fantasize if she heard that a decent guy was treating her differently!

Even if the girl herself didn't have such intentions, she would pay more attention to the boy after being given a hint.

Ye Wanyin had used this method many times, so she was very confident.

"What does this have to do with you? If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to warn you for the third time," Ye Sanqing said while picking up firewood.

"Sister, it's not that I wanted to ask, but as you know... our family is a bit special, so we can't be too casual when choosing a partner. I think my eldest sister and second brother also care about this..."

Ye Wanyin's words weren't entirely fabricated; at least Ye Yifan had genuinely said that one shouldn't casually fall in love.

She asked the question with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.

Because this is a difficult question to answer. Whether Ye Sanqing expresses his affection, doesn't, or doesn't answer at all, it can be used to make a big deal out of anything.

She felt guilty because she was afraid Ye Sanqing would bring up her affair with Cheng Yanye...

"So when did I start choosing a romantic partner?" Upon hearing this, Ye Sanqing straightened up and stood there for a moment to think.

She was not surprised that the Ye family had such rules. When she was the emperor, many noble families under her also had very strict rules.

However, she was really annoyed by the old guys in the Senate and the Cardinals who kept urging her to expand her harem!

She's a war machine; all she cares about is fighting! Everyone knows that!

Therefore, Ye Sanqing instinctively resisted this topic.

However, Ye Wanyin's words did not seem to be false. If the Ye family needed her to report on her lover, she would think it was reasonable, but definitely not here, and definitely not to Ye Wanyin.

Moreover, she had never thought about love before, neither since she arrived in this place nor in the previous two hundred years.

"Sister, did I not explain myself clearly enough?" Ye Wanyin was a little anxious. She knew Ye Sanqing might not answer, but she didn't expect him to avoid the question so completely. So she tried to guide the conversation, "Or do you mean that you would never consider Teacher Sheng as a romantic partner?"

"No, no, no, Ye Wanyin, don't try to change the subject."

Ye Sanqing said quite seriously, "If you really can't understand what I'm saying, I suggest you reflect on yourself, because it seems that everyone else can understand what I mean except you."

"Exactly! I suggest you take a course on understanding the emperor's will!" Little Bug suddenly chimed in.

[Shh. 】

"My point is clear: I am not choosing a romantic partner. If you don't understand rhetorical questions, then you probably don't understand the negative statement above either, right? That's a question."

Ye Sanqing even ended his speech with great seriousness!

"..." Ye Wanyin was almost dizzy from her negative, interrogative, and rhetorical questions. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then... Sister, are you saying that you're not considering dating?"

"..." Ye Sanqing was about to lose his temper. "Ye Wanyin, what are you thinking about every day? Is your whole mind just filled with these love and romance? And you come to tell me to be careful when choosing a partner? Do you look at yourself with any sign of being careful? What nonsense! I refuse to talk to you. I'm deaf from this second on!"

Ye Sanqing said that it was unnecessary to say another word to her!

"Calm down, Master!" said the little insect.

[I wasn't really angry. If I were, she wouldn't be standing here so calmly. Honestly, why does she listen to nonsense instead of human reasoning? I'm just a little annoyed. There are so many things she could be doing, and all she does is talk about love all the time. If she's so in love, why does she have time to come on TV? Wouldn't it be better for her to go back to her little wild companion and have a romantic relationship?]

【Master, you've worked hard. Have you thought of a way to deal with her?】

After recording this show, I'll probably be starting filming, so I won't see her for a long time. I'm just a bit annoyed lately. Anyway! Please remember to persuade me to stay calm; after all, murder is illegal.

"Sister, I was just worried about you..." Ye Wanyin said a few more words, but seeing that Ye Sanqing was determined to pretend to be deaf and dumb, she stopped talking.

This is difficult to assess.

Master Ye said he wasn't considering dating, but he didn't say he wasn't considering Xiao Sheng. I'm fine now.

[Seriously? This actually works? Isn't it obvious that it wasn't meant to be?]

[You don't understand, it's precisely this open disassociation that masks underlying tensions—a calm surface masking a turbulent heart! That's what makes it so compelling.]

【Master Ye is such a straight woman!】

[Isn't this unfair to Teacher Sheng? Her intentions are so clear, how can you do this? Isn't this just taking advantage of her kindness without taking initiative, refusing, or taking responsibility? Isn't that just being a "green tea" (a manipulative woman)?]

[Identified as a fan of late-night entertainment at first glance, remove from the list.]

I got up early and saw a green tea bitch talking about someone else being a green tea bitch.

What does "clear meaning" mean? Did Xiao Sheng do something that crossed the line?

Isn't it obvious enough? I've already said I'll only listen to her.

[Laughs, the fans of Wanfen are just like their master, it seems like they only have a cerebellum and no brain.]

Didn't you make things clear yesterday? You really only remember what you want to remember. I envy your online energy.

To be fair, Ye Wanyin was clearly taking advantage of Xiao Sheng's absence to spread rumors and stir up trouble. Fortunately, Master Ye will never be dragged into it.

[Exactly, if even the normal act of recording a program is considered interesting, then that's just too interesting.]

【Our Xiao Sheng is just a nice person! He's a bit cold towards Ye Wanyin, but his attitude towards everyone else is about the same. Ye Wanyin is just spreading rumors!】

Wow, Xiao Sheng even has solo fans now!

What are your names?

【Cold weather】

What do you mean? Is it cold weather?

[It's a healthy food! We want to be the healthiest fans!]

Okay, that's interesting.

[Am I the only one who noticed what Master Ye mentioned at the end about the object Ye Wanyin chose?]

[I noticed that too, so is Ye Wanyin single or not?]

[Wanwan is single, and Ye Sanqing is stirring up trouble!]

Ye Wanyin wasn't too worried about this. Although she felt a little guilty, even if Ye Sanqing said it directly, she would just say something like, "We're just childhood sweethearts with a very good relationship. What, you mean by a marriage contract? But we don't have a formal marriage contract."

Moreover, she had already told Cheng Yanye that if she entered the entertainment industry, she would establish a single persona, and he would have to be the man behind her, etc. Cheng Yanye had agreed with great pride!

Therefore, no matter what Ye Sanqing says, it's useless!

Ye Wanyin's confidence shattered the moment they returned to the courtyard.

Everyone had returned and were gathered in the courtyard. Standing in front of them were two people that Ye Wanyin knew very well.

No, I should say one is extremely familiar, while the other is merely a acquaintance.

But this was enough to surprise Ye Wanyin, not to mention that the other person greeted her happily as soon as they saw her, "Wanwan! I've come to keep you company!"

"..." Ye Wanyin looked down at her dusty casual clothes, which she was wearing while gathering firewood, and really... didn't want to say anything.

But with everyone there, she couldn't very well go change her clothes and touch up her makeup, so she could only force a smile and say, "You're here? What a surprise!"

"Wanwan, Sanqing, I was worried about you, so I came along too," another person called out.

Ye Sanqing really wanted to roll her eyes, so she did.

Zhu Song then said, "Everyone's back? Perfect timing, now let me introduce our new guest—"
