Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

Along the way, they ate, drank, played, and enjoyed sightseeing, turning what should have been a month's journey into more than two months.

From the end of May to the beginning of July, the weather was perfect during the hot summer months.

Ziyue really likes the weather right now. If this were modern times, it would be the scorching heat of July, unbearably hot.

Global warming caused by modern greenhouse gas emissions, sharp decline in forest resources, population growth, and other factors would not have been a concern in ancient times.

On this day, they finally arrived at their destination, the capital of the Northern Liang Kingdom—Northern Liang City.

Thinking that she might stay in Beiliang City for a while longer, Ziyue had already ordered someone to purchase a property in advance, a five-courtyard house on West Street.

Because this area is not in the center of the city, it covers a larger area.

Unlike the Moon Mansion in Luocheng, which is located behind the central street, most of the houses are crowded and there is not much open space. A three-courtyard house is already considered relatively large.

The two had just entered the house and washed up and rested when a servant came to announce that guests had arrived.

Given his excellent connections, the only person who could arrive at this time could be the Fifth Prince of Beiliang, Beiliang Haitang. So, he ordered his men to invite him in.

"Miss Ziyue, Young Master Chiling, it's been a long time. We've finally been looking forward to your arrival."

As soon as Bei Liang Haitang entered the hall, before even having a sip of tea, he spoke enthusiastically.

After all, his brother had seen immediate results after taking the antidote pill, and his health improved in an instant, with his complexion getting better and better than before.

He and his elder brother were also very grateful to Linglong Pavilion for saving their lives and for the medicinal pills they received.

"You've come at just the right time," Ziyue couldn't help but tease him.

Upon hearing what Miss Ziyue said, Bei Liang Haitang quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Hey, I was just waiting and waiting for you to come, so I had someone keep an eye on you at the city gate. Otherwise, how could I have come to you so soon? Haha, don't blame me."

"My brother and I have prepared a simple feast to welcome you both. We humbly request that you grace us with your presence and allow us to extend our hospitality." Bei Liang Haitang bowed respectfully and invited the two of them.

"Yes, it would be my honor."

At Zuixiang Garden, Ziyue and Chiling followed Beiliang Haitang into the private room. The tall figure who had been facing away from the door turned around when he heard the noise.

The man was dressed in a dark robe with intricate and elegant embroidery, exuding nobility and refinement. His features were exceptionally handsome, but perhaps due to years of health issues, his face was slightly pale and sickly.

Bei Liang Mo Ran looked at the two people who followed his fifth brother into the room. The woman was extremely beautiful, but more importantly, she had a rare, unrestrained and charming temperament. Her bright eyes were mysterious and alluring.

The man wore a long black robe, keeping a low profile, yet he couldn't hide the murderous aura emanating from him.

The man's attention was mostly on the woman beside him, and the occasional glances he gave his fifth brother and himself were barely perceptible, revealing the nature of their relationship.

A knowing glint flashed in Bei Liang Mo Ran's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Seeing Zi Yue and the other person enter, he stepped forward and bowed to Zi Yue.

"Bei Liang Mo Ran is grateful for Miss Zi Yue's elixir. I will remember this life-saving grace. In the future, no matter what request you may have, Mo Ran will do his best to fulfill it."

Zi Yue stepped forward to help Bei Liang Mo Ran up: "There's no need to be so polite. We hit it off with Hai Tang at first sight and consider him a close friend. You are his elder brother, so consider this antidote pill as a gift from me to my elder brother."

"Alright, since you're so straightforward, then I won't stand on ceremony with Miss Ziyue. Haitang and I originally wanted to host a banquet for you two, but considering that Miss Ziyue is always low-key and probably doesn't want to reveal her identity..."

Secondly, I'm sure you two are aware of my situation; with various forces watching me, it's not appropriate for me to host a large-scale banquet for you.

"I have no choice but to offer you both a simple meal and wine today," Bei Liang Mo Ran explained.

Ziyue and her companion were not people who cared much about formalities. "We've long heard of the fame of Zuixiang Garden. Today, Chiling and I are truly fortunate to have such a feast."

"Haha, this Drunken Fragrance Garden is famous throughout the world for its drunken shrimp and drunken crab. Today, Miss Ziyue and Brother Chiling must try it. It's quite a unique flavor," Bei Liang Haitang enthusiastically introduced.

At the table, the four of them toasted each other. Even Chi Ling, who was not good at speaking, was encouraged to talk more because of Bei Liang Haitang, who was eloquent and knew how to eat and have fun.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

Over the next few days, Bei Liang Haitang sat to the east and took Zi Yue and the other person to enjoy the city of Bei Liang.

Located in the north, the people of Beiliang were mostly rugged and unrestrained, and women could freely go out to the streets or do business without so many rules and restrictions.

That day, the group had been strolling around all morning and were having lunch at Zuixiang Garden when suddenly a series of loud knocks came from the door.

The man banged on the door while spouting nonsense: "You people inside, be smart and get out here right now. Open your eyes and give me your room."

"Hurry up! Otherwise, if you offend me, I won't let you off easily."

And then there was the sound of a waiter advising from the side: "Young Master Li, I'm so sorry, the guests inside arrived first. Please, move to this private room next door..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cry of pain rang out, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground.

The man who had just been yelling was now shouting, "Get out of my way! Are you new here and don't you recognize me? I am the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's mansion. Am I not worthy of a top-class private room?! Get the person out here right now, or I'll bring my men to shut this place down tomorrow!"

Chi Ling, expressionless and nonchalant, scooped a bowl of Beiliang City's specialty "Shrimp and Fish Belly Soup" and placed it in front of Zi Yue. Then, he carefully peeled the crab meat and crab roe and put them into the bowl, as if nothing could disturb him and nothing was more important than taking care of his beloved girl's meal.

Ziyue's appetite was not disturbed; instead, she teased Beiliang Haitang with amusement.

"Is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's mansion really this arrogant? Does he expect the Fifth Prince to make way for the child of a subject?"

Bei Liang Haitang sent his trusted aide out to handle the matter before turning to Ziyue and the other woman, repeatedly apologizing, "While this doesn't warrant giving up his seat, it has indeed disturbed Miss Ziyue's enjoyment of her meal, and that is truly my fault."

"As far as I know, this young master Li from the Prime Minister's residence, relying on his favored Imperial Noble Consort aunt, has always been arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women. He is very arrogant and domineering in this Beiliang City." Although Ziyue has only been in the Beiliang capital for a few days, she has already heard about this.

“Miss Ziyue is right, that’s true. But the Prime Minister’s mansion has always been powerful, and Father Emperor… we can’t do anything about it for now,” Bei Liang Haitang said helplessly, bowing his head.

However, it's almost over, very soon. Let them enjoy their final revelry. Bei Liang Haitang thought to himself.

“I have a plan, come closer and whisper in my ear…” Ziyue’s eyes lit up as she devised a scheme.

We've been having fun for the past few days, it's time to get down to business.
