The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Fifteen minutes later, Haoyun arrived at the study door, but he did not rush in. Instead, he respectfully greeted "Master" from outside the door.

Hearing Haoyun's voice outside the door, Jin Chenyuan said, "Come in."

"Yes."

Then, Haoyun pushed open the door and entered the study.

Looking at Jin Chenyuan sitting behind the desk, Haoyun knelt on one knee and bowed before respectfully asking, "Master, is there something you need to tell me?"

Looking at Haoyun, who was still kneeling on one knee in front of the desk, Jin Chenyuan said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Master." Hearing his master tell him to get up, Haoyun thanked him and stood up, but still stood respectfully in front of the desk waiting for his master's instructions.

"Have you found a courtyard that I asked you to find yesterday?" Jin Chenyuan, dressed in a dark purple robe embroidered with cloud patterns and wearing a jade crown, leaned back in his chair, exuding a noble air with a touch of languid ease, as he looked at Haoyun indifferently.

Since Yue Li asked him to help find a house on the road yesterday, he handed the matter over to Hao Yun when he returned home. A day has passed, and things should be starting to look promising by now.

Haoyun stood below, his body tensing up as he felt his master's indifferent yet unoppressive gaze, and his mind became even more focused.

Having followed his master since childhood, he naturally knew his master's temperament, so he always treated the tasks assigned by his master as top priorities.

Moreover, this matter concerns the future mistress of their Prince's Mansion.

So, as soon as Jin Chenyuan finished speaking, Haoyun immediately said, "Yes, Master. After returning yesterday, I immediately checked the courtyards under the Prince's name in the capital. There are indeed several courtyards that meet Young Master Yue's requirements. However, we need to check them in person to see which courtyard Young Master Yue prefers."

Yes, ever since Yue Li asked Jin Chenyuan to inquire about courtyards for her, Jin Chenyuan has never considered having Yue Li buy other people's courtyards. In fact, he does own quite a few vacant courtyards.

That's why he asked Haoyun to check which courtyards Prince Chen's mansion had in the capital. This way, they could screen them in advance and eliminate those that didn't meet Yue Li's requirements, allowing Yue Li to make her own selection.

"Well then, go and compile the deeds for those courtyards. I'll need them tomorrow. Also, send someone to clean up the courtyards you selected earlier."

It's not feasible to keep Yue Li staying at the inn; there are too many people coming and going, all sorts of people, making it too inconvenient for her to stay there.

So he plans to take the deeds to those courtyards tomorrow for Yue Li to choose from. He will then transfer the ownership to her on the spot whichever courtyard she selects.

"Yes, Master, I will do it immediately." Hearing his master say this, Haoyun knew that his master planned to go to the inn to find Young Master Yue tomorrow.

That makes sense, given how much the master values ​​Young Master Yue. It's surprising that the master didn't rush to find Young Master Yue after leaving the palace today; he was still wondering about it.

Now, after enduring it for a whole day, you finally couldn't hold back anymore!

Haoyun clicked his tongue inwardly, and after leaving the study, he hurriedly went to do what his master had instructed.

But no one expected the accident to come so suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

..............................

After returning to the inn and washing up, Yue Li asked the waiter to bring her some food. After eating and drinking her fill in her room, she lay down on the bed and took a nap.

When I woke up, the streetlights were already on, and the streets were bustling with activity.

Opening the window and looking out at the bustling street, Yue Li, who had been sleeping soundly, felt the cooler weather than during the day and was inspired to go out and explore.

She closed the window again, changed into a dark blue robe embroidered with cloud patterns, tied her hair up high with a golden crown, wore a matching belt around her waist, and held a folding fan in her hand. Then, Yue Li left the inn and blended into the crowd on the long street.

Chuan Wu and Huang Zhong, who had been guarding the entrance of the inn, immediately followed Yue Li when she came out of the inn.

Neither of them expected that Yue Li would go out at night, after all, she had been busy outside for so long during the day.

Chuanwu looked at Yue Li, who was walking ahead, dressed in men's clothing, waving a folding fan, and leisurely strolling along the long street, and asked Huang Zhong beside him, "Should we report to our master?"

Huang Zhong also kept a close eye on the figure ahead, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Young Master Yue is just out shopping and doesn't have anything to do right now, so let's not go."

With so many people on the long street, Yue Li's attire would easily reveal her as a woman disguised as a man. It was already getting dark, and although the stalls and shops along the street had candles and lanterns for lighting, the illumination was limited, and no one was specifically looking to see if someone was a woman in disguise. Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yue Li could walk the entire street without revealing her identity.

And so, with two tails following behind her, Yue Li leisurely strolled along the long street.

The night market in the capital was indeed much more lively and bustling than the night market in Qingyuan Prefecture. Looking at the novel items on the stalls on both sides of the road, Yue Li wanted to pick up and play with each one.

I bought several exquisite and small items that I particularly liked from the stall.

The items she bought were indeed small, smaller than half the size of her palm, so carrying three or four of them didn't feel heavy.

Carrying her purchases in her left hand and holding a folding fan in her right, Yue Li continued walking towards the other end of the long street.

Just as she reached the intersection of a street, she turned right onto another bustling long street. Yue Li stood at the intersection and looked to her right.

The long street to her right was even brighter than the one she had just walked along. However, there were no stalls on either side of the street, and the only people passing by were simple horse-drawn carriages, with the occasional glimpse of richly dressed men and women.

Seeing this combination, Yue Li stopped in her tracks. Something was definitely fishy going on here!

Driven by curiosity, Yue Li turned and headed towards the street on her right.

She wanted to see what this street was all about, and why everyone here seemed so secretive.

Chuanwu and Huang Zhong, who had been following behind her, were extremely anxious when they saw her turn and head down the street.

Yue Li had just arrived and didn't know, so how could they not know what this street was for?

Seeing Yue Li still walking forward, Chuan Wu said to Huang Zhong, "Go quickly and report to the master."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong realized that they couldn't handle this matter; only their master could.

After realizing what was happening, Huang Zhong immediately turned around and ran towards the Prince Chen's residence.

Chuanwu could only follow Yueli at a distance, hoping their master would come quickly.

Yue Li knew, of course, that there were two people following her, but knowing that they meant no harm, she ignored them.

She never imagined that her disguise as a man would fool Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi, who had seen countless people. Besides, she didn't intend to hide it from anyone; it was just that it was easier to get by as a man in this world.
