Chapter 106 May my Great Ye flourish for ten thousand generations.
Why did my father imprison me?
"She's just a lowly court attendant. Why can't I, a prince, marry her? I could marry her whole family without any problem."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is absolutely right."
The Prince of Yue glanced at the annoying little eunuch and kicked him.
"You dog lackey, get out of the way, you're in my way."
The young eunuch bent over, ready to roll away quickly, but was pulled back.
"Wait, go and investigate who that court attendant is. She's clearly a woman, so why is Father speaking up for her?"
"Could she be my father's illegitimate daughter?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and find a way to investigate."
Even after the eunuch left, Prince Le was still furious and started smashing and throwing things around the room.
*
On the first day of the first month of the twenty-first year of Emperor Taizong's reign, all officials paid homage at court.
The old emperor was truly pitiful; he didn't rest for a single day out of 365 days a year.
Shen Zhiyi put down her pen.
[Wait a minute, if he doesn't rest, doesn't that mean I don't rest either? What if I accidentally die from overwork one day?]
The civil and military officials who had been kneeling to pay their respects to the old emperor suddenly felt that kneeling was an act of mercy.
Shen Zhiyi had told the old emperor "I'm dead" more than once or twice.
But they still couldn't take it.
Should I think of a way to fake my death?
The entire court of civil and military officials raised their heads in unison, a truly magnificent sight.
Shen Zhiyi, what are you saying?
Are you trying to fake your death?
You've erased their achievements with your death; where will they find their amusement now?
[Or perhaps we could quietly swap places with my cheap older brother?]
It's quite a coincidence that Shen Zhiyi has a twin brother in her own world, and the original owner of this body also has a twin brother.
Generally speaking, among twins, one is good at studying and the other is not, like this original body.
But Shen Zhiyi and her brother are both good at studying. They were admitted to the same university and are currently sophomores.
But now that she's in trouble, we don't know what timeline she'll be in when she goes back.
[Oh no! The system says I can go back, but won't I be faced with a ton of exams? I think I've forgotten everything! I really need to make sure you've taken good notes!!!]
[So, how about I secretly switch places with my cheap brother in this world?]
The entire court: This won't do.
Everyone turned their gaze to the old emperor, their demands for an explanation quite evident.
Everyone knows that Shen Zhiyi spent the New Year in the palace yesterday. How come Shen Zhiyi changed so much after the New Year? The old emperor must be involved.
The old emperor, who was indeed implicated: ...
[Won't the King of Yue investigate whether I'm a woman? I need to think of something quickly, but...]
"Your Majesty, this old minister wishes to impeach Prince Yue!"
The old emperor's eyebrows twitched.
Shen Zhiyi was also startled by the loud voice.
[This Attendant-in-Ordinary, who is usually so low-key, why is he impeaching Prince Yue on the very first day of the new year? What's the story behind Prince Yue's impeachment?]
All the officials: Shen Zhiyi, hurry up and find her!
The Right Chancellor is getting on in years, it must be tough for him. Who is the Prince of Music?
When did a music king appear in the imperial court? I've never heard of him before.
He secretly turned his head to look at the people around him.
One or two of them were shaking their heads.
Ugh, this is driving me crazy!
Old Emperor: I'm sorry everyone, this was added at the last minute last night. The process isn't finished yet.
[This King of Music is so dirty.]
The entire court held its breath and concentrated.
Dirty? Like the Crown Prince, who doesn't like to bathe?
[In other palaces, the ratio of eunuchs to palace maids was about the same, but this guy's palace was full of palace maids, and he didn't even allow them to wear trousers. They had to wear skirts even in the dead of winter. It was outrageous.]
Everyone present was a man, and they all understood what the King of Music was after.
What other kinds of human body platters are there? Beauty bowls?
Shen Zhiyi's small face immediately contorted in anger.
I almost threw up all the expensive pastries I ate this morning.
[What a disgusting thing! This bastard wants to marry me? I'll castrate him first, ugh.]
Others felt disgusted just listening to Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts, but Shen Zhiyi watched the surveillance footage directly.
I feel so bad that I feel terrible.
The Right Chancellor's eyes darted around. Shen Zhiyi's point about not being able to kill Prince Le directly was fine; keeping him in solitary confinement would also work.
In short, we need to give Shen Zhiyi a sense of security.
She can't leave!
“Your Majesty, Prince Nale disregards human life and imperial authority.”
The old emperor was puzzled. How could this be considered a disregard for imperial authority?
“Your Majesty, all the land under heaven belongs to the emperor, and all the living beings on this land belong to Your Majesty. However, Prince Le has maliciously disposed of Your Majesty’s things without Your Majesty’s permission, such as the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem. Isn’t this a contempt for imperial authority?”
[Holy crap, someone can argue like that! I've learned something new.]
The old emperor couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had never seen anything like it before.
If they don't give it to him, the King of Le will indefinitely extend his confinement.
[From this perspective, it's hard to say when the King of Music will reappear, but it's still not safe.]
[But before I try to fake my death, I should finish tonight's banquet for all the officials first. No matter what, food is the most important thing.]
Everyone was stunned. They felt that it would be better to keep feeding Shen Zhiyi delicious food; maybe then she wouldn't want to leave.
The old emperor had also thought of this, so he specially ordered that tonight's banquet for all officials must be of the highest quality, even if other things were not up to standard!
*
[On the day of Xin-You, a banquet was held for all officials.]
Even while eating, Shen Zhiyi didn't forget her work, which was truly touching.
With such a dedicated spirit, how could she possibly become a hooligan after graduation!
"Shen Lang, I'd like to offer you a toast."
It was Zhang Sheren who spoke. Shen Zhiyi quickly returned the wine, but as soon as it reached her lips...
【Why is mine tea?!】
Civil and military officials: We're just afraid you'll get drunk and blurt out your true feelings. They still care about their image; everyone has their own little schemes.
"Shen Lang, I'd like to offer you a toast as well."
The people speaking were... well, quite a few high-ranking officials.
Shen Zhiyi drank a lot of tea that night and went to the toilet countless times.
When I returned, there was a loud bang in the sky, and fireworks exploded, illuminating the night.
The old emperor rose, and his civil and military officials followed suit.
The old emperor raised his wine cup, his voice strong and clear, showing no signs of age.
May our Great Ye last for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations!
Wow, the old emperor's ambition is obvious, but according to the natural laws of a country, it generally lives for about three hundred years. Da Ye has only been around for twenty years, so it is still very young.
Upon hearing this, the old emperor shouted "May your reign last a thousand years!" again.
His Da Ye will surely continue from generation to generation.
[At the banquet for officials in the year of Xinyou, the emperor said, "May my Great Ye last for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations," which was nothing but a pipe dream.]
The old emperor crushed his wine cup and roared, "Shen Zhiyi!"
"what?"
Seeing Shen Zhiyi's blank expression, the old emperor suppressed his anger.
Fine, he'll put up with it!
But he decided that he would not say a word to Shen Zhiyi tonight.
