Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 119 Turning the Tables to Become King (32)

Those officials who were close to the Grand Tutor hurriedly ordered their servants to close all the doors and windows tightly, and while it was still quiet, they stuffed cotton into their ears. Of course, most of them chose to go directly to an inn further away to stay.

Although it was a bit far from the place where they were to attend court, they couldn't resist enjoying the scenery along the way.

Because he felt he had accomplished something great, the Grand Tutor was so happy that he secretly dug up the fine wine that had been buried under a tree several years ago, drank it all afternoon, and still hasn't been able to get up.

Shen Yun tightened the silk scarf around her neck, then stuffed cotton into her ears, and raised her hand, saying, "You all discuss which piece of music will make people happy the most, and choose that piece. Make sure the Grand Tutor feels your enthusiasm."

Not long after he finished speaking, music started playing.

Bright and rugged, passionate and unrestrained, joy tinged with a touch of sadness.

If she remembered correctly, the tune they played was for a wedding procession. Thinking of this, Shen Yun's eyes became complicated. This tune would probably cause misunderstandings.

Although the sound of the erhu could still be heard, it didn't have much effect.

To use a very inappropriate analogy, it's like a screaming chicken being run over by a bulldozer while many people are sawing wood on the road.

It truly drives listeners mad and brings tears to their eyes.

The Grand Tutor, who was fast asleep, was jolted awake by the sound of music. He opened his somewhat cloudy eyes and saw two servants looking at him timidly from the side.

The sounds outside... it must be a wedding party, they're making quite a show of it.

The old man sat up, pointed outside, and said, "This is..."

A servant knelt down with a mournful face, "Master, the Emperor is outside with many musicians."

Was that voice coming from his own house? The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly got out of bed, dressed and washed up with a speed that was unusual for his age. "Go and tell someone to make tea."

However, the old man walked to the door with an awkward smile and said, "This old minister greets Your Majesty."

Shen Yun raised her hand, a mocking smile appearing on her lips. Just as she was about to step forward, her body suddenly stiffened, and her expression became even more sinister. "Grand Tutor, you are quite capable."

The old man looked up, revealing an innocent expression that said, "I know nothing." "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Hmph." She waved her hand, signaling the people behind her to bring the two women up. They were the same two women from yesterday, but now they were dressed more appropriately. "Yesterday, the Grand Tutor and I drank together. I saw that the Grand Tutor was all alone, and I felt deeply ashamed. The Grand Tutor is concerned about the country and its people. At the age of fifty, he has no one by his side. So I chose two stunning beauties to serve the Grand Tutor."

The two servants following behind the Grand Tutor, trembling like leaves, looked puzzled: "Is the Grand Tutor alone? Then who are they...?"

They dared not say anything or ask anything.

The Grand Tutor's cheek twitched. On one hand, he felt he was acting in the best interests of the country, so he was quite righteous. On the other hand, he felt that what he had done was really inappropriate. "This old minister is too old, and I am afraid I am not fortunate enough to accept Your Majesty's kindness."

If he keeps the person here today, he will lose all face and dignity.

Shen Yun frowned as if in a dilemma, paused, and said to the two beauties trembling beside him, "You saw it too, it was the Grand Tutor who refused to let you stay."

The stunned beauty was startled by what she saw. She quickly forced a smile, then slowly moved in front of the Grand Tutor, grabbed one of his legs, took out a clean white handkerchief from her bosom, and began to wail loudly.

Perhaps feeling that this way of crying was more touching, snot and tears fell together, making it look particularly spectacular.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man seemed unable to bear it any longer. He could only look at his legs with resentment and then say, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace." The Grand Tutor, who thought he could escape punishment after saying this, looked at the bright yellow figure and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, wait a minute! Aren't you going to take the erhu player and the suona player with you?"

"By the way," Shen Yun said with a smile, pausing in his tracks, "To congratulate the Grand Tutor on gaining two considerate beauties, I will leave these musicians at the Grand Tutor's residence to play for three days and three nights before they return. As for the music, it will be the same as today's, no changes."

Without waiting for the reaction of the people behind him, he left with a dashing yet slightly strange posture.

When she returned to the palace, her scandalous affair had already spread far and wide. Everyone saw her return disheveled, so for a time everyone was speculating about who she had favored.

Xia Yuyan, who overheard a few palace maids chatting privately, felt a mix of emotions. He was truly... so grateful to the Grand Tutor. Although the Grand Tutor was a bit talkative and liked to act superior because of his age, what he did this time was absolutely right.

Upon learning that the Emperor had returned to the palace, Xia Yuyan tidied himself up and went to find him.

No one in the palace knew his identity. Although his face was somewhat similar, his temperament was very different, so no one thought that he was the mentally challenged crown prince.

Shen Yun dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving her. Just as she was about to take some time to feel sentimental, she heard footsteps coming from not far away. At this moment, she could only think of one person.

She hurried forward, taking two steps at a time, and then used her frail body to block the door.

Xia Yuyan pushed the door, but couldn't open it.

Shen Yun said in a high-pitched voice, "His Majesty has ordered that no one be seen today."

Xia Lianyu paused for a moment, then said, "Rao Rao, I know it's you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun remained indifferent, indicating that he had absolutely no intention of opening the door.

However, even though the medicine was administered by the Grand Tutor, she was not the only one who suffered. She was furious that a man was so weak and couldn't break free. Was he trying to trick her?

As Shen Yun, who was getting closer to the truth, irritably pulled at her hair, pouted in dissatisfaction, and then reluctantly opened the door.

"Don't you want to see me?" he asked.

Yeah, yeah, so you shouldn't come. Wouldn't it be better if we just let bygones be bygones?
"So you were lying to me when you said you cared about me." He murmured self-deprecatingly. "Oh well, I'm just an unimportant person anyway. Anyone can lie to me, anyone can bully me."

"No." She gritted her teeth, enunciating each word clearly, "I wouldn't lie to you."

"Then you just..."

Shen Yun's mind went blank for a moment, and she suddenly remembered her stupid act of pretending to be a eunuch. "Hahaha, don't misunderstand, I was just... just practicing my acting skills." By the end, she was so sincere that even she believed it herself.

He smirked, seized the opportunity, entered the room, turned around, and closed the door.

In this situation, Shen Yun suddenly regretted kicking everyone else out, feeling that it was dangerous for the two of them to be alone in a room.

"Then when will you give me a formal title?" His eyes were certain, and his expression seemed genuine.

It should be soon. As things stand, these smaller worlds are unlikely to have a good ending. Because this is a dimensional crossing within a larger historical context, more characters will be added gradually later.
