Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

There was dust on the ground.

Moreover, Wu Tongxue didn't want to move right now, and shook her head in refusal, saying, "Get up and talk."

Shen Yu didn't speak, but Wu Tongxue yawned, her eyes glazed over, "So sleepy."

The peach wine had a strong aftereffect, and now her mind was a complete mess, all she wanted to do was sleep. She urged Shen Yu, "It's so late, I want to sleep."

A-Ye wanted to call the palace servants to come up and serve her, but Shen Yu waved her hand to stop her, saying, "You wait for me downstairs."

The ninth floor of the Star-Picking Tower has no walls; four pillars support the roof, and gauze curtains are gathered at the four corners, draped on the ground, and sway gently in the breeze.

The moon was bright and the stars were few, with a faint moonlight pouring down.

Shen Yu rubbed his temples and stood up.

I lost my composure tonight.

He has a high alcohol tolerance, and this little bit of alcohol tonight won't affect his rationality.

"Shen Yu." A muffled murmur rang out, "I want to stay at your house."

Because she had never lived there before, Wu Tongxue couldn't forget Shen Yu's house. The thought of not being able to see so many treasures made her miss it even more.

He closed his eyes and grabbed Shen Yu's sleeve haphazardly, shaking it back and forth.

The force was as light as a cat's whining.

With that grab, the bad mood in Shen Yu's heart vanished, and he finally relaxed completely.

"Okay, you can stay here."

Wu Tongxue clung to his sleeve, almost falling asleep, "Sleepy."

"I'll take you to rest." He bent down, put his arm around the person, and gently carried them down to the bedroom.

With the emperor's order in place, everything that should be in the Star-Picking Tower was there. The bedroom was decorated in a classical and elegant style, filled with a faint fragrance of cold plum blossoms.

Shen Yu did not rely on anyone else; she patiently wiped his body and changed him into his nightgown, her movements extremely meticulous.

I pulled the blanket up a little higher and looked at his obedient sleeping face, feeling content.

With selfish motives in mind, Shen Yu did not rush to leave. Instead, she sat down by the bed and carefully looked at the person she had been thinking about for a long time.

So cute.

I touched it with my finger; my cheek was warm and had a delicate feel.

I couldn't help but touch it again.

He sat there, back straight, for a long time, and no one but himself knew what he was thinking.

The palace servants hurriedly bowed when they saw Shen Yu emerge, filled with awe and respect.

Apart from His Majesty, no one else dares to walk so leisurely in the deep palace at night.

"Let's go."

Ah Ye followed.

-

The ceremony for bestowing the title of Imperial Preceptor will take place seven days later.

Prior to this, Wu Tongxue had been focusing on enhancing her knowledge at the Star-Picking Tower, using cultivation as an excuse to refuse visits from others.

The day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was exceptionally auspicious, with gentle breezes and bright sunshine.

Below the altar stood civil and military officials in orderly rows, while outside them were the common people who had come to see this grand ceremony.

As Wu Tongxue followed the emperor up the steps of the altar, she turned around and was stunned by what she saw below.

...What a grand display.

Wu Tongxue was responsible for standing there as a mascot, listening to the Imperial Observatory Director's long-winded speech, and then the Emperor's own long discourse.

"...Therefore, I have decided to appoint Daoist Xue as the National Preceptor to protect the prosperity of the Great Xuan Kingdom."

"My lords, you must not be negligent." He displayed the emperor's authority to intimidate them before handing the main stage to Wu Tongxue.

Wu Tongxue raised her hand, her gorgeous sleeves fluttering in the wind, the jade bracelet on her wrist clinking together, and she recited the words she had prepared in advance with a dignified posture.

Her voice was clear and melodious, "...I will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust."

He wore an elaborate imperial advisor's robe, with red and white colors interwoven, dazzling and magnificent. A red mark was placed between his eyebrows, and every gesture he made exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.

Liu Xuan secretly pinched Liu Xian, incredulous, "Is this really Xiaoxue?"

Liu Xian looked up at the altar and recognized it at a glance. "Yes."

"That's really impressive." After Liu Xuan finished speaking, she looked at Liu Qingce, who was still smiling on her left, and then at Shen Yu, who was standing at the front of the official group.

Xiaoxue, you're amazing!

She was worried that Xiaoxue would be manipulated by others, but she never expected that he would rise to the top in one step and be able to manipulate everyone with ease.

Sure enough, she bet on the right person!

The emperor, overjoyed, shared a similar sentiment; he had indeed found the right mentor!

Last night I even had a dream where the Imperial Advisor took me on a journey through the world. When I woke up, I felt refreshed. Who else could this be but a deity?

Despite the compliments from the crowd, Wu Tongxue remained aloof throughout, speaking little and responding sparingly.

Everyone thought he was a god, except for himself.

After the investiture ceremony, the emperor returned to the palace first, and Wu Tongxue took the opportunity to go find her elder brother.

Approaching his elder brother Liu Xian, he felt a little uneasy. He had suddenly become the Imperial Advisor without anyone noticing, and it was a bit difficult to explain...

"Xiaoxue, are you going back for dinner later?" Liu Xian straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves.

Their attitude was indifferent; they did not ask any further questions or express any concern.

Upon hearing about food, Wu Tongxue nodded quickly, "I'll go back with my older brother later."

His eyes unconsciously curved into a smile as he relaxed. "Big brother, I'm the Imperial Advisor now, which seems pretty powerful."

After thinking about it carefully, she turned her head to look at Liu Qingce beside her, her smile bright, "A little bit better than you?"

Liu Qingce nodded calmly, "You are better than me."

He was always happy to see him looking happy.

"Let's go back first." Everyone is paying close attention to today's protagonist, and there are still quite a few people watching from a distance.

I didn't come because of some concerns.

Liu Xian led his younger brother out, and the rest of them followed.

The Liu family was encountered by the people of Liujia Village on their migration route, and they chose to join Liujia Village because they shared the same surname.

The two families are not related by blood. A year ago, Liu Xian had his parents ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, and the two sides exchanged birth charts.

With money in hand, Liu Xian and Liu Xuan each bought a house and lived next to each other.

Back home, Liu Xian cooked for himself, so Wu Tongxue caught up with Liu Qingce, who had come with her, to chat.

Arriving at the room prepared for Liu Qingce, the overflowing bookshelves gave Wu Tongxue a slight shock. She had heard that he only occasionally came to stay one night to exchange knowledge.

He wandered around inside, not in a hurry to catch up with old friends.

I picked up two books at random and flipped through them; both showed signs of having been read.

Liu Qingce, a true scholar!

"Your status as a third-place scholar is truly genuine; it's nothing more than a mere exam for you." Wu Tongxue sincerely admired him; such perseverance is rare.

He now views Liu Qingce through the lens of a top student, and from this perspective, Liu Qingce seems exceptionally good and pleasing to the eye.

"If you want, you can too." Liu Qingce neatly arranged the books.

Wu Tongxue was also an extremely capable learner, but she simply disliked the imperial examinations.

"No, I can't!" Wu Tongxue slowly shook her head.

He never wanted to get up earlier than the rooster or go to bed later than the dog, nor did he want to hang his head from the rafters or prick his thigh with an awl.

The hardships of studying are something only those who have experienced them truly understand.

He's just a little snow wolf who wants to make money; there's really no need for him to work so hard.

"What are you looking for?" Wu Tongxue asked, noticing Liu Qingce's gaze wandering across the bookshelves.

Several books were taken out one by one, and Liu Qingce placed them on the table, gesturing for him to come and sit down.

Wu Tongxue hesitated, "You want to study now?"

He tapped his finger on the book, and Liu Qingce uttered a chillingly cold sentence: "For you."

Wu Tongxue, who was about to sit down, suddenly stood up, with a very bad premonition. "For me?"

Liu Qingce smiled gently, "Memorize these in their entirety."

The boomerang that once struck someone else has now returned squarely to its own body.
