Inside the Tianxian Residence——

Li Guihua sent her four children to Mo Xuan Private School early in the morning. She watched the children enter the classroom of the private school reluctantly, and then left and returned to Tianxianju.

Now she was in a very good mood. Thinking that the children could finally go to school, she hummed a little tune happily and washed Wang Naya's clothes in the backyard.

"Sister Li, you seem to be in a good mood today~"

Amu said this when he saw Li Guihua humming a song while washing clothes.

"Haha, yes, I sent the kids to private school this morning."

Li Guihua said happily.

"Our young lady is so kind, she treats the servants very well. The children are also lucky to have met such a good master."

Amu said.

He was a little envious. If he had met a young lady when he was a child and the young lady had sent him to school, his life would definitely be different now. At least he would not be a servant doing odd jobs.

Although the treatment of following the master is very good, much better than the treatment of servants in other mansions, the master rarely pays attention to them. After all, the master has a large family and a big business, and he cannot pay attention to everyone.

Fortunately, he has now come to Tianxianju to serve the young lady. He has also felt the young lady's kindness during the past few days. For dinner, everyone sits at the same table and she never says that she dislikes servants. If it were in other mansions, servants would never eat at the same table with their masters.

"Yes, it is a great honor to meet such a good master like Miss."

Li Guihua sighed.

Ah Huo was cleaning the yard, while Ah Mu went to the kitchen to fetch water and fill the water tank. After fetching the water, he went to the kitchen and did not stay for too long.

Wang Naya had already gotten up and had breakfast in the morning. She returned to her room as usual, closed the door, went to the bed, took off her shoes, sat cross-legged, called up the system panel, and guided the qi into her dantian while comprehending the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.

She planned to ask Li Guihua and others to help invite musicians to the house tomorrow to practice dancing with her.

In the past few days, Gu Yu, Yan Zihao, Dongfang Jue and Gongsun Ze, the four of them have been reading books, writing poems and painting in the study room, preparing for the Southern Region Festival. They all want to win the top spot in the Southern Region Festival, firstly to show off in front of Yuyan, and secondly to gain glory for themselves.

Talented people who want to enter the Southern Region Festival Talent List usually compete by writing poetry, painting, playing the piano or the flute, martial arts, or archery. Unlike the girls, none of them dance, unlike modern male idols who perform dancing or something.

Now, all the young men and young ladies from various mansions in Yuncheng who have been invited to attend the Southern Region Festival have begun intensive training. Everyone wants to win a high ranking in the Southern Region Festival and be the focus of attention.

In the Southern Region Royal City——

The Southern Region King Ye Chenyuan was sitting in a carriage that was about to leave the city, and there was another carriage following behind his carriage. This time he was traveling incognito to see the venue built outside the royal city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people and was specially used to host the Southern Region Ceremony. There were five masters in the carriage following behind him, who were specifically following him to protect his safety.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the city gate. After the gate guards of the royal city let them pass, the two carriages drove one after the other towards the venue of the Southern Region Ceremony.

Ye Chenyuan was wearing casual clothes today, but one could still tell he exuded the aura of a superior. His head was decorated with a simple jade hairpin, his black hair was draped down to his waist, and he held a folding fan in his hand, dressed like a gentleman.

"My lord, we have arrived."

The carriage drove to the venue where the Southern Region Ceremony was to be held. The affairs manager who served Ye Chenyuan in the royal city wanted to invite Ye Chenyuan to get off the carriage. He lifted the door curtain as he spoke.

"Ah."

After Ye Chenyuan responded, he stood up and got off the carriage with the help of the manager of affairs.

The venue for the ceremony was guarded by soldiers. They were startled when they saw Ye Chenyuan, and quickly knelt on one knee to salute and shouted in unison:

"Greetings to the Lord!"

"Everyone, get up."

Ye Chenyuan said.

"My Lord, please come in!"

The manager of affairs quickly walked ahead, stretched out his hand to make a invitation gesture, and then walked ahead to lead the way.

Ye Chenyuan followed behind the manager of affairs. He looked around and inspected the environment inside the venue.

At this time, there were still many soldiers and officials who were responsible for managing this area repairing things. When they saw Ye Chenyuan, they were all startled, then knelt on one knee and saluted, saying:

"Greetings, my Lord!"

"I didn't know you were coming, my lord. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me."

The official in charge of the venue said in panic.

"Everyone, get up."

Ye Chenyuan said indifferently.

He was accustomed to his people's worship of him, and this incognito visit was intended to reduce unnecessary trouble. The trouble included the fact that when the officials' daughters and wealthy ladies living in the royal city knew his itinerary, they would dress up beautifully to attract his attention, creating various encounters and giving him a headache.

Sure enough, this time he traveled in plain clothes without letting anyone know, so he felt much quieter and could also wander around and inspect as he pleased.

"My Lord, I have already sent people to repair various places. By then, we will surely be able to hold our Southern Region Ceremony successfully."

Liu Mo, the official in charge of the venue, said.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was still very nervous facing the king, fearing that he might not do well and make the king unhappy, and then lose his official position. He was currently working as an official in charge of the site, and his life was still very comfortable.

"Ah."

Ye Chenyuan listened to him and responded.

Then continue walking forward and continue to observe the surrounding environment.

Liu Mo followed him carefully not far behind, but did not dare to go too close as he was extremely nervous.

Ye Chenyuan told Zhang Yuan, the affairs manager who was leading the way, about all the problems he had seen. He said:

"Replace that floor, repaint that row of chairs, repair those walls, make the layout more rigorous, keep the budget to a minimum, and do things beautifully."

"Yes, I understand. I will go and discuss with Liu Mo to resolve the issue you mentioned."

Zhang Yuan, the manager of affairs, said this, then he slowed down his pace, and after a while Liu Mo walked to his side.

"Liu Mo, the master just mentioned some problems that we need to arrange for people to deal with. The floor over there needs to be replaced. Some places on the floor are bumpy and it looks unsightly. The row of chairs also needs to be repainted, and the walls need to be repaired."

Zhang Yuan said to Liu Mo.

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Mo said.

"The master also said that the layout should be more rigorous, the budget should be kept lower, and the work should be done more beautifully."

Zhang Yuan repeated Ye Chenyuan's words.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will do as you say and will not let you down!"

Liu Mo said.

While the two were talking, Ye Chenyuan had already walked away from them to inspect the situation. He already understood the problems that might exist.

He suddenly remembered the letter he received today. The letter was from the wisest man in the world, Master Wushuang. He was about to go on a secret tour at that time. After knowing that the messenger told him where the letter came from, he had not yet read the letter. He didn't know what the Master Wushuang wanted that would make him write to him.

He had sent someone to invite him to be the national teacher before, but he declined. Did he write this letter to agree to the previous proposal? Would he become the national teacher of the Southern Kingdom? He didn't have the heart to continue shopping now, so he thought about going back to see what the letter was about.

Ye Chenyuan admired this young man who was known as the wisest man in the world. He liked dealing with smart people. Moreover, being able to gather such talents and make them his think tank would be of great help to him in consolidating his royal power and developing the kingdom's economy.

Ye Chenyuan stopped and waited for Zhang Yuan to come over before saying to him:

"The rest of the inspection work will be left to you. I'm going to go back to the royal city to take a look at the letter that Master Wushuang sent me. I want to see what he wants to do."

"Yes, I obey!"

Zhang Yuan said respectfully.

"Well, then you and him can continue shopping."

Ye Chenyuan said.

Then he turned around and walked back the way he came. The five people who had been following his carriage stood at a certain distance and watched him. When they saw him walking back, they followed him.

Ye Chenyuan came to the side of the carriage, and one of the five people who had just followed him hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to let him use it to climb onto the carriage.

"Da da da--"

The carriage started moving and headed towards the gate of the royal city.

"Who are you? What's your purpose in entering the royal city?"

The soldier guarding the gate of the royal city asked the driver of the carriage that Ye Chenyuan was riding in.

The royal city guards arranged several soldiers to be stationed on both sides of the city gate to check people entering the royal city.

The driver of the carriage took out a token from his pocket and handed it to the other party. The soldier guarding the gate of the royal city took a look and immediately returned the token and said respectfully:

"I didn't know it was the king's carriage and I stopped it. Please forgive me!"

"It's okay, let's go."

Ye Chenyuan said in the carriage.

Then the coachman drove the carriage into the city gate.

The carriage following behind also took out tokens. Their tokens were the king's first-class guard tokens. After the soldiers guarding the city gate took them and looked at them, they immediately and respectfully invited them into the city.

He was indeed startled. He was suddenly met by his boss without any warning during normal working hours. He must have been shocked. After all, it was difficult for small people like them to meet their master. Only those who held high positions could see the king.

After driving in the royal city for a while, the carriage arrived at the front gate of the royal palace. A sedan chair had already been prepared at the front gate of the palace, waiting for their king to return so that he could ride directly into the palace in the sedan chair.

Ye Chenyuan entered the palace in a sedan chair. The bearers were all young and strong men, and they carried the sedan chair very steadily.

"Go to the Imperial Study Room."

Ye Chenyuan said lazily.

He supported his head with one hand and felt a little swaying in the sedan chair, which made him a little sleepy. He closed his eyes and rested.

After several sedan bearers carried the sedan for a distance in the palace, they stopped in front of Ye Chenyuan's imperial study.

"My Lord, we have arrived at the Imperial Study. You may get off the sedan chair now."

The officer who had been walking in front leading the way spoke to Ye Chenyuan in the sedan chair.

When Ye Chenyuan heard the voice of the manager and learned that they had arrived at the imperial study, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the sedan chair, heading towards the imperial study.

When the two palace maids guarding the door of his study saw him, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, then opened the door of the study for him. Ye Chenyuan walked into the imperial study. The letter from Master Wushuang was placed on the table before he left.

He walked to the table next to him and sat down, picked up the letter on the table, opened it and began to read. After reading the contents of the letter, he understood what Master Wushuang meant.

He opened the first letter and saw that the names of medicinal herbs were written on the rest of the letter paper.

"So he came to ask me for medicine. I thought he agreed to be my imperial teacher."

Ye Chenyuan muttered to himself.

He put down all the letters and shouted to the official outside the door:

"Someone is coming."

The official guarding the door of the imperial study heard the master's call and immediately walked into the imperial study and said:

"My lord, my subordinates are here."

"Take these pieces of letter paper and go to the Royal City's medical warehouse to check all the medicinal herbs listed in the letter. Report to me later."

Ye Chenyuan said.

He took out the sheets of paper that recorded the names of the more than 200 kinds of medicinal herbs that Ouyang Mingyue needed and placed them on an empty space on the table.

"I obey my orders!"

The officer said.

Then he walked up to Ye Chenyuan's desk, picked up a few pieces of letter paper that Ye Chenyuan had just placed there separately, and stepped back. He was going to rush to the royal city's medical warehouse to look for the list of medicinal materials recorded on the letter paper.

After the official left, Ye Chenyuan continued to look through the memorials and various letters stacked on the table. The memorials were submitted by officials from the royal city, and those letters were submitted by the mayors of various cities in the southern region.

Ye Chenyuan looked at the memorial carefully and wrote comments on it after reading it.

After an hour, all the memorials had been read and annotated.

He picked up the letters sent by the city lords and began to read them. He learned about the affairs in each city through the contents of the letters sent by the city lords.

If there were areas that needed improvement, he would mark them with a red pen, then write another letter to indicate the content to be corrected, and then send someone to deliver the letters to the city lords.

When he saw the letter sent by Yuncheng City Lord Yun Tianhe, he was very angry about the contents of the letter and clenched his fists.

The letter says:

Two thieves who broke into a mansion in the city were caught. During the interrogation, the two criminals were willing to exchange information about the underworld for a lighter punishment. However, after they were taken to the interrogation room for interrogation, someone broke in and kidnapped the criminals and the interrogator. We are trying our best to find the whereabouts of that gang, but there is no news so far.
