I dressed as a princess and cheated on myself

King Heng said, "He is a man of first-class academic and moral character. He took part in the imperial examination last year, but because the content of his essay was too shocking, he angered the emperor and almost lost his head. I read his essay and found that except for the bold ideas, other aspects were also remarkable. So I boldly begged for mercy from the emperor. Although the emperor did not kill him, he banned him from taking the imperial examination again, and his career path was cut off from then on!"

"So that's how it is. So, what did he write to anger the Emperor?"

"The way of governing a country he wrote about is to abandon the existing hierarchical system and establish a world of great harmony where everyone is equal. In that world, there are no untouchables, only residents, no imperial power, and the supreme ruler is a rotation system that cannot be inherited. The position is based on ability and competition, and all citizens have the right to vote to decide who will govern the country."

Song Bushi was shocked, and then thought, could this guy be a time traveler like her?

Otherwise, how could people of this era have such bold ideas?

"What else did he say?"

Song Bushi was eager to find more evidence that he was a time traveler.

Prince Heng didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Since that incident, he stopped talking about it and became silent. He had no future and became a joke in Kyoto. His life became increasingly difficult and even his beloved left him."

Song Bushi sighed, "What a pity, his idea is very good!"

"Oh? Where is good?"

"One day in the future, the world will become what he imagined!"

King Heng laughed and said with disdain, "Really? You are as naive as he is."

Song Bushi did not argue. As they talked, the two returned to the main house.

The two children also came over, vying to show him the words they had learned to write in the morning, "Daddy, look, this is what I wrote."

"Dad, look, I wrote this!"

King Heng was very patient. After taking the calligraphy, he read it carefully and gave serious comments after reading it.

Those who wrote well would be praised, and those who wrote poorly would be pointed out. Ranran and Youyou listened carefully, and then ran back to the room to rewrite.

Song Bushi shouted, "You can't learn everything in one day, so take a rest when you need to."

The two children agreed verbally but continued to write seriously.

Prince Heng was very happy when he saw the two well-behaved children. He said to her, "Thank you for teaching them so well."

Song Bushi's face turned red. "I... I didn't do anything. They are born so smart. This should be hereditary. With such an outstanding father like you, it's hard for the children not to be outstanding. Haha..."

Prince Heng laughed out loud because of the praise, while Song Bushi laughed in embarrassment. She really couldn't imagine what Prince Heng's expression would be if he found out that the child was not his own. So, it was better not to praise each other like this, as it was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Wei Zhong came in and resolved the awkward situation, "Your Majesty, we have made a major discovery!"

Wei Zhong glanced at Song Bushi and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

King Heng saw his concerns and waved his hand, "Go ahead, there are no outsiders here."

Wei Zhong then spoke, "I have been watching the South Gate these days and found that every day at Chou time, a group of merchants would enter the city. These merchants dragged a large number of ceramic jars and did not look unusual. But after entering the city, they hid in some vacant houses, surrounded by patrols, which was very suspicious."

"These merchants don't sell goods, they just hide in the city?"

King Heng pondered and said, "Then he is not a real businessman!"

Wei Zhong replied, "Yes! If it weren't for the continuous monitoring and tracking for several days, we wouldn't have found any clues. They have used this method to transport many people into the city. These people are lying in ambush in the city, and their purpose must be not simple!"

Song Bushi asked, "Have you found out the details of these people?"

“I sent some people to try, but they couldn’t get close at all. The people patrolling outside were very alert and didn’t let outsiders get close at all.

I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I came to report to the prince first!"

King Heng praised, "You did a great job. These people sneaked into the city, they must have some unspeakable secrets. Prime Minister Zhao is scheming, it must be no small matter. We must find out their identities as soon as possible so that we can deal with them!"

Song Bushi said, "It's not difficult to find out the identities of those people. They must have food and drink when they hide in there. As long as we find Xiao Si who delivers food every day and ask him, we can always find some clues."

Wei Zhong suddenly realized, "That makes sense! I'll go check it out right away!"

**

Wang Wan'er, who was beaten half to death, was sent back by her maid, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was alarmed.

Prime Minister Zhao's most beloved daughter was beaten to pieces. The prime minister's wife cried and wailed to the prime minister about her daughter's miserable condition and asked him to kill the murderer who hurt Wan'er immediately.

Prime Minister Zhao was also furious just now, but when he learned that it was Princess Aoxue who did it, his anger was gradually swallowed up by reason.

Even though he has great power and is above everyone else, he is still controlled by the emperor.

Trying hard to suppress the anger in his chest, he asked the servant, "Why did Princess Aoxue hit Wan'er?"

The servant was afraid of being implicated, so he exaggerated, "It's all the fault of that newly appointed concubine of Prince Heng. Miss invited her to the mansion for tea last time. She said one thing on the surface, but another behind the scenes, saying that she would help Miss become the principal concubine of Prince Heng. Miss took it seriously and went to Prince Heng's mansion to ask her for help, but she changed her mind. Not only did she not help her, she also teamed up with Prince Heng to bully Miss, making Miss a big joke in Kyoto. Miss was very upset about this, so she wanted to teach her a lesson at the flower viewing banquet of the Duke's Mansion and secretly put the jade bracelet awarded by the Queen Mother on her..."

When the lady heard this, she not only did not blame her daughter for her mischief, but also asked the maid, "Then why was Wan'er beaten?"

The maid continued, "Who knew that the concubine secretly put the jade bracelet on Her Royal Highness the Princess? The young lady searched and found it..."

The lady was speechless.

"Nonsense."

Prime Minister Zhao's face turned blue with anger. "You are too bold. You play such a trick in front of the princess. Can you beat her? Princess Aoxue grew up in the palace. What kind of tricks has she not seen?"

Madam defended her daughter and cried, "Master, what's the point of saying this now? Anyway, my Wan'er has been beaten. If we don't vent this anger, the Prime Minister's Mansion will lose face!"

Prime Minister Zhao helped his wife up and comforted her, "If it was someone else, we wouldn't let it go like this, but she's a princess. Even if this matter gets brought to the emperor, it won't end well. Just treat it as a lesson and let Wan'er be more restrained in the future."

The lady was so angry that she beat him randomly, "How can you be a father like this? Your daughter was almost beaten to death, and you still endured it. What about the state and legalism? It's all bullshit. Why should we suffer such injustice? Wan'er didn't do anything against the will of heaven or morality, murder or arson, why should she be beaten like this? Are you still a man? Woo woo..."
