It's time for me to reveal my heart to her!

  As the evening breeze blew gently, the woman's cloak was blown open, and on her face covered with a white veil, those phoenix eyes entered Tang Lin's eyes, a sense of familiarity made Tang Lin tilt his head, wanting to take a closer look at the woman's eyes.

  Just then, the woman seemed to be afraid of Tang Lin's gaze, and her hand loosened, immediately dropping the curtain, thus avoiding Tang Lin.

  A horse-drawn carriage slowly passed by.

  Tang Lin stared at the distant carriage, and it took her half a day to come back to herself. After the carriage disappeared from view, she suddenly looked stunned, as if she had returned to reality. She muttered to herself in a somewhat melancholy tone: "I seem to have seen my own eyes, was I hallucinating?"

  After a while, Tang Lin looked around and found that except for the endless forest, there was not even a broken house. It was sunset, it seemed that they would have to walk back to the city in the dark.

  ——

  Into the night.

  Jūn Dié Xuān

  Phoenix Butterfly danced at the door, looking around anxiously. At this time, Fu Yushu came out of the wine building and saw that her face was a bit urgent, so he asked: "Feng Niangniang, what made you so anxious?"

  Fengdie Dance said: "Xiao Tang and Tucong Shu went out for half a day, but they haven't come back yet. I'm worried about them!"

  "Boss Xiao Tang is not an ordinary person, she shouldn't be in any trouble!" Thinking back to this afternoon, Tang Lin effortlessly made Chang Hu immobile, and Fu Yushu felt that Tang Lin was no ordinary woman.

  "Let's hope so!" Although she said that with her mouth, Fengdie Dance was still worried about Tang Lin and Lao Tu Zi.

  At this time, a horse carriage stopped in front of the Fengyuelou gate across the street.

  An old bald donkey and his family of three got down from a horse-drawn carriage.

  Fu Yushu's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched that scene, with a question mark at the bottom of his eyes.

  Seeing old bald donkey, the butterfly danced happily and waved its hand, "Uncle Bald Donkey!"

  At the sound, the old bald donkey looked over and finally returned to Jun Die Xuan. He felt particularly warm, holding his son and taking his wife, then walked towards the wine building!

  "Miss Butterfly Dance," Old Bald Donkey walked up to Feng Butterfly Dance with a smile and called out.

  Phoenix Butterfly bent down and stroked Ping Er's face, genuinely fond of this tender little boy. "What a lovely little brother, Bald Donkey Uncle, who is he?"

  The old bald donkey said: "My son!" Immediately he said to his son: "Quickly, call Sister Butterfly Dance!"

  Ping'er called out in her childish voice, "Sister Biantai!"

  The butterfly dance was called to bloom, and she stroked Ping'er's face again, "Really a good kid!" After bending down, she looked at the old donkey behind her back, and then looked at the horse carriage, but couldn't see Tang Lin's figure. She asked: "Uncle Donkey, where is Little Tang?"

  Old Bald Donkey said with shame: "The person in charge saved our family of three, on the way back, we took someone else's carriage and returned, because it couldn't seat four people, Little Tang, the person in charge, was willing to walk back to the city by herself. Alas, I owe her an apology!"

  "As long as she's alright," Fengtian Dance took Ping'er's hand and said to the old couple, "Let's go back to the wine tower to rest for a while. You haven't had dinner yet either!"

  Fengdie Dance and Old Bald Donkey, a family of three, entered the wine tower. Fu Yushu did not enter, he looked towards the opposite Fengyuelou, looking at the horse carriage at the door of Fengyuelou.

  Just then, a man came down from the carriage.

  The nine sons supported the woman wearing a cloak as she got out of the car, and then the two entered the Fengyuelou.

  Fu Yushu withdrew his calm gaze and turned to enter the wine house.

  ——

  Tang Lin returned to the Xijiang Moon Inn when the sky had completely darkened, just as the night market was at its most bustling. She entered the inn, instructing the young servant to prepare hot water and dinner, then went upstairs.

  As she passed by the door of Yu Sheng Jun's room, Tang Lin stopped in her tracks. She pressed her face against the door, trying to listen for any movement inside. If there was any noise, then he must have returned.

  However, after listening for a while, she didn't hear any sound at all, and could only return to her room with disappointment. After closing the door, she lit a lamp, then walked to the window, opened it, and looked out towards the window of the next room. This seemed to have become her habit. She really wanted to know what he was doing now, and where he was.

  At this moment, the Emperor is in the imperial study of the palace, setting questions for the new session of the imperial examination. He has been there since morning until now at night.

  The lamps in the study shine brightly, as if it were daytime.

  The Holy King sat in front of the desk, holding a brush in his hand, staring intently at the white paper spread out on the table, and there were many black characters on the white paper. This was the test question he gave to the candidates.

  An Lin poured a cup of tea and brought it in, gently placing it on the table. "Your Majesty, have a sip of tea to warm up first, take a rest, you've been busy all day, your body is important!"

  His Majesty's eyes did not leave the table, and as soon as he thought of something, he picked up his brush. Only then did he respond to An Lin's words, "Let it be for now, I'll drink later!"

  Anlin's heart ached as he watched the emperor work day and night without rest, but his lowly status made him dare not speak up to show concern, so he retreated instead. "Then Anlin will take his leave first!"

  Anlin walked out of the imperial study and gently closed the door behind him.

  Before one knows it, it is already midnight.

  Inside the study, the lights were still on.

  The holy king was still buried in making test questions, and occasionally moving his pen, occasionally picking up the already cooled tea to drink, under this situation, it was almost dawn when he finally finished the test questions.

  The Holy Lord folded up the test paper on the table and put it in a wheat-colored envelope, then got up and stretched his limbs and neck.

  After a while, the Holy Emperor shouted out loud, "Someone come!"

  An Lin heard the voice and immediately pushed open the door and came in. He walked up to Emperor Sheng and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here!"

  "When will it be over?"

  An Lin replied: "Your Majesty, it's almost dawn!"

  The emperor slightly stunned, "It's already five watches in the sky..." Then he immediately ordered, "Prepare for court!"

  The sky hasn't lit up completely yet.

  The Golden Hall suddenly echoed with a loud voice,

  Inside the Golden Throne Hall, all officials knelt down, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long long live!"

  The Holy Emperor stood on the precious hall, his hands spread open, "All beloved officials, dispense with the formalities, all of you stand up straight!" Only after the hundred officials had risen did he sit back down in his dragon throne.

  "Speak up if you have something to say, otherwise withdraw from the court!"

  Shen, the Minister of Works, took two steps forward from the center of the hall, bowed his waist and replied: "I report to Your Majesty that regarding the plague in An County, yesterday three imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital and a deputy minister from the Ministry of Works were dispatched to An County to handle it!"

  "Hmm," replied the Holy Lord lazily, somewhat absent-mindedly.

  "Your Majesty," said Li, the Minister of Rites, stepping forward and bowing his head. "In three days' time, it will be the day of the imperial examination. The examination questions..."

  The Holy Emperor nodded to An Lin, who understood and walked over to the eunuch standing beside him. He took the wheat-colored envelope from the eunuch's hands and, with both hands, descended the golden stairs of the treasure hall and came before Minister Li. "Minister Li, this is this year's civil service examination question! The Emperor spent a sleepless night to complete it!"

  Li Shangshu's hands trembled as he held the envelope, his expression somewhat fluctuating. Perhaps it was because of Emperor Sheng's all-nighter to create the exam questions that made him, a high-ranking official, feel ashamed.

  After Lin returned to his original position and stood still, the Holy Lord asked everyone: "Is there anything else to say?"

  No one responded, complete silence.

  "Then let's withdraw from court!" Having said this, the Emperor hastily rose and went to the rear palace.

  ——

  The sky is slightly bright.

  Yitang and Yishuang walked into the imperial study.

  The Holy Emperor has changed out of his dragon robe and resumed his civilian attire.

  Yi Teng walked up two steps and asked: "Master, is it true that the things to be purchased at Jun Die Xuan tomorrow will be handled by us?"

  "No need!" The emperor turned his head and looked at Yatang. "I will personally assign a new purchasing officer to purchase things, you all don't have to interfere with this matter for the next few days. Fu Tianze after all entered the wine house out of interest, he doesn't understand many things, I don't want to drag down the entire wine house because of him!"

  The children left early. After a while, the Holy Lord asked: "How many more days until the first day of next month?"

  Yifeng said: "Return to Master, there are still eight days!"

  "Eight days..." The Holy Lord's eyes were dazed as he repeated it to himself, silently sighing, "It really has passed quickly!"

  Yi Feng asked, "Master, after returning to the palace, you rarely have time to go out. Moreover, next month is busy, so will you confess your feelings to Tang Niang within these few days?"

  The Holy Emperor nodded, "It's time for me to reveal my intention!"

  There was no memorial to review today, so the emperor left the palace early and arrived at Jun Die Xuan early. Today is his earliest day in Jun Die Xuan, coinciding with Jun Die Xuan's breakfast time.

  The Holy Lord walked into the wine building and saw Niu Wu sweeping the floor in the first-floor restaurant, Gao Ge and Cao Dan, as well as Xiao Pang, were all busy wiping tables and arranging stools.

  The counter was empty, and Yuexin didn't know where she had run off to.

  Niu Wu and his friends saw Yu Sheng Jun, and they all greeted him, "Purchasing officer, haven't seen you for two or three days!"

  His Majesty smiled faintly at everyone and then asked: "Has the person in charge arrived?"

  Cao Dan said: "No, every time breakfast is served, Sister Tang just arrives!"

  "Is that so......" Yu Sheng Jun didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the backyard. Entering the backyard, he smiled at Xiao Zhu who was staring blankly by the well with nothing to do, then headed towards the kitchen.

  In the kitchen, there were only two people: Yu Zichen and Guan Xiangyun.

  The Holy Lord walked to the kitchen door, took a look inside, and Yu Zi Chen was holding his queen's waist with both hands, teaching her how to cut the dishes better, the two were happy and enviable.

  Originally wanted to go in and say hello to Yuzi Chen and others, but Yu Sheng Jun didn't want to ruin that happy picture, turned around and walked out of the backyard, went upstairs to the second floor.

  Fu Yushu was sitting in the living room on the second floor and saw Yu Shengjun coming, smiled and greeted him, "Good morning!"

  His Majesty responded with a faint smile and then walked over to sit down, "And what about the others?"

  Fu Yushu half-jokingly said to himself: "Everyone else has gone to work, only I haven't! Ah, yes, the person in charge told me yesterday that they would arrange tasks for me after I arrived. But what exactly does a procurement officer do?"

  "It's just going to the countryside to buy vegetables!"

  Fu Yushu was taken aback, his face slightly pale, "Wh-what? Going to the countryside to buy vegetables?"

  A sly glint flashed in the eyes of the noble gentleman, a rare mischievous thought occurred to him, "After breakfast, I'll take you to Silver Apricot Village to buy vegetables. The vegetables from Li's family are exceptionally fresh, just what our wine shop needs!"
