In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

Walking in the courtyard, Tao Jingyang looked at the lush flowers and plants and thought to himself that if he went out of the mansion now, he would probably run into Fan Ruoruo and the "divine doctor" Fan Xian.

If I remember correctly, they should be on their way to the Lin residence to see Lin Wan'er.

Just as he was thinking about whether to go out and see what was going on, to prevent Fan Xian from meeting Lin Wan'er and allow him to return to Danzhou to live a peaceful life without any worries,

She suddenly saw someone standing at her door.

Is this... Leisure?

As she stepped forward, You Ran hurriedly bowed to her, only to be caught again by Tao Jingyang with lightning speed.

LOL, who can match my hand speed?

"Miss You Ran, is there something you need here?"

"Reporting to Miss Tao, His Highness the Second Prince has assigned me to be Miss Tao's maid." You Ran's voice was calm and composed.

Goodness, it's really hard to tell whether Li Chengze wants to monitor me or take care of me.

But regardless, I have to accept this leisurely gift.

Tao Jingyang thought for a moment and said to You Ran:

“Miss You Ran, I don’t need you to serve me. You don’t need to be reserved here.”

"Yes." After saying that one word, he bowed again and said nothing more.

Tao Jingyang thought to himself: This person doesn't reveal anything, he's quite shrewd.

"You don't need to bow to me in private anymore."

"Yes..."

Meanwhile, Li Chengze was reading the letter from the Eldest Princess in his bedchamber and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The eldest princess wanted to kill Fan Xian so that the control of the imperial treasury would not fall into the hands of others.

Li Chengze... had already discussed the assassination with the Eldest Princess before Fan Xian even arrived in the capital.

The Northern Qi assassins had already arrived in the capital, and now they were ready to strike.

"But if Fan Xian's identity is really..." Li Chengze pondered deeply, holding his hands.

Anyway, it's the Crown Prince who has a grudge against Fan Xian, and I just wanted to invite him to dinner. In any case, it shouldn't be my fault.

They acted immediately, and the plan proceeded as scheduled.

Please ask Prince Jing's son to assist in informing Fan Xian tomorrow that the Second Prince has invited him to a meeting at Zuixianju the day after tomorrow.

But before the letter could be sent, Tao Jingyang wandered around the courtyard and, finding it uninteresting, returned to Li Chengze's place.

She knocked tentatively on the door, and before she could say anything, the person inside told her to come in.

Although it had only been three days since they met, Li Chengze seemed to have gotten used to her behavior.

Upon seeing her enter, he folded the letter and sent it to Prince Jing's residence.

"You're here again? What's wrong? You're getting bored again?" Li Chengze said, putting down his pen.

"Yeah, I'm a bit bored." Tao Jingyang then reached for the fruit plate on Li Chengze's table.

Seeing this, Li Chengze pursed his lips and shook his head, but still pushed the food towards her.

"With your energy, you're quite suited to be an official in the court," Li Chengze said, while looking at the memorials again.

Looking at Li Chengze's diligent appearance, Tao Jingyang began to doubt the plot he knew.

[Wasn't the story supposed to be about extravagance and debauchery? What I see in front of me is a corporate slave.]

Seeing Tao Jingyang staring at him, Li Chengze couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

What's that saying again? Oh! A good man fears a woman's persistence! / (Self-conquest in progress)

Just as Li Chengze was preparing to find something for Tao Jingyang to do, the other party spoke up first:

"Your Highness, do you need to review these memorials every day?"

Li Chengze tossed aside another approved memorial, looked up, and stretched his neck:

"More or less. It was assigned to me by His Majesty, but most of it was just trivial matters."

"Thank you for your hard work. But when will you be able to finish approving this?"

"Almost there." He tossed another book, the folded pages tracing a bright parabola in the air.

Li Chengze thought for a moment and said to Xie Bi'an, "Bi'an, go and get two storybooks for Miss Tao."

Before long, two stacks of novels appeared next to Tao Jingyang.

It's just that I'm bored, so watching this can help relieve my boredom.

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Li Chengze caught a glimpse of the first book Tao Jingyang was reading.

It's Dream of the Red Chamber.

He suddenly became a little unhappy.
