When Cao Zheng was fighting against a strong enemy.
In a secret room in a courtyard in the Imperial Capital.
A group of ordinary-looking people, who would disappear in the blink of an eye if thrown into a sea of people, were gathered here.
Not long after.
A man in black clothes, black pants, black hood, a pair of black gloves, and even a mask walked in. He did not reveal his true appearance, only his eyes.
He held a token high in the air.
The crowd looked at the token in the man's hand.
They acknowledged orders but not people.
After confirming that there was no mistake, they knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
"Yes!"
"Get up!" The man nodded.
"The Imperial Palace is hosting a banquet tonight. All the officials of the court will be attending, including the Inspectorate.”
" Our goal is very simple. Save the target. If there's no chance,"
At this point, a hint of cruelty flashed across the man's eyes as he made a throat-cutting gesture.
"Do you all understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
...
An hour later.
Cao Zheng left the Clear Shadow Brothel quietly, feeling happy.
He had gained a lot from this jungling trip.
He learned some information about the martial arts world.
He knew about the grandmaster's ability to hide his true abilities.
He had scheduled a time to check on Fairy Qingying's mother.
Most importantly…
He used experiments to prove that the disguise technique could indeed be used in some places, and the effect was obvious.
As for how obvious it was…
One day, Cao Zheng heard someone complain that Fairy Qing Ying had sprained her ankle while practicing dancing and had closed her business for seven days.
"Heh."
"Flying in the air for a short period of time, is it impervious to fire and water?”
The grandmaster, Fairy Qingying, had never seen him before, and neither had his parents.
She had only heard rumors about the strength of a martial grandmaster. She did not know if it was true or not.
However, to Cao Zheng, he at least had a little idea of what was going on, and not an unknown.
The unknown was terrifying.
"Perhaps, I need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with the Eldest Princess.”
"She should be very clear about these things.”
However, he did not notice that his figure was being seen by someone.
"I finally caught your tail.”
"I knew it. As the number one Courtesan Belle, no man would miss out on Fairy Qingying.”
"You dare to cut off my source of income? Dream on."
"However, this matter cannot be rushed. There is only one chance. I have to plan it well.”
After muttering a few words, Fatty Qian walked away quietly with his short and thick legs.
......
Back at the attic.
The beauty is gone.
The bedsheets were changed to a clean one.
"A person who seduces others is like a flood of gold!”
Cao Zheng sighed.
From He Lianhua, he finally understood why women were made of water.
Not long after Cao Zheng returned, the Eldest Princess came looking for him with a small booklet.
"This is the program schedule that I, Shao Wu, and Yue Si have come up with.”
"Thank you!"
Cao Zheng took the booklet, stood up, and walked out.
"I'll go to the Ministry of Rites and check the timeline with the Department for Purging Officials.”
Seeing Cao Zheng pick up the book and leave, the Eldest Princess asked curiously,""Aren't you going to take a look?"
Cao Zheng stopped and turned around with a smile.”
"Buttface, prepare the carriage!"
Cao Zheng left.
The Eldest Princess stood rooted to the ground for a long time.
"Do you trust me?"
The Eldest Princess muttered as a faint smile appeared on her face.
......
In the following time.
Cao Zheng ran between the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Education. In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
At this moment.
The acting team of the Department of Education was ready.
There were all kinds of beauties dressed in gorgeous dance clothes. They were all charming and stood beside the carriage. They were nervous and excited.
Meet the Emperor.
This was a temptation that many people found difficult to resist.
What if…If she was favored by the emperor and got pregnant with a dragon seed, she might become a phoenix.
Although the chances were extremely slim, it was not unheard of.
Humans had to have some fantasies.
As the saying went, if one's life didn't die, one's imagination wouldn't stop.
"Let's go!"
Cao Zheng sat in the carriage at the front of the group.
With a wave of his hand, the long convoy started moving.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Palace and met up with the other members of the Bureau of Rites.
Shao Wu and Yue Si came out of the carriage and looked at the palace gate with a slightly uneasy expression.
They still did not have much confidence in the Eldest Princess 'arrangements.
Immediately after, the Eldest Princess also came out of the carriage.
Twenty years passed.
The guards of the palace changed batch after batch.
No one recognized her anymore.
In the Imperial Palace.
It was the place where the Eldest Princess was born and grew up, filled with happiness and sadness.
Seeing her again gave her a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
"I'm back!"
"I clearly swore that I would never come again, but in the end... He's still here!"
Thinking of the reason why she came back, she turned to look at Cao Zheng.
"I hope my decision is right!”
......
The palace gate is an important place. No noise is allowed.
After waiting quietly for a while, the staff of the Ministry of Rites arrived.
After going through layers of checks, Cao Zheng finally arrived at the scene of tonight's acupuncture.
Time was too tight, so Cao Zheng did not dare to delay. He clapped his hands and said,"Ladies, start working."
"Good performance, this official will reward you greatly!”
"Thank you, sir!"
"Sisters, work hard!"
...
Cao Zheng was busy.
The other people from the Ministry of Rites were also extremely busy.
Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace had been recruited to help.
A clean carpet was laid out, a wooden chair with soft cushions was moved, and a dining table made of high-grade wood... They were placed neatly.
Fine wine, tea, dried fruits, snacks, and pastries were placed on the dining table.
At the side, other delicacies and delicacies were already in place and were being processed by the royal chefs.
Red lanterns were hung high in the middle of the square, decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was a joyous occasion.
By the time the sun set, the matter had basically been settled. They were doing the final finishing touches and cleaning up.
The stage of the Education Department had been set up, and the girls were making their final preparations backstage.
Wiping instruments, repairing makeup, reciting lyrics, practicing voice, stretching waist, etc.
Outside.
As the time for the banquet approached, officials gradually arrived with their families.
When they saw the scene, they began to discuss animatedly.
"Eh? The efficiency of the Ministry of Rites is quite good!"
"Yeah, it happened so suddenly. I didn't expect it to look so good.”
"How is it not bad? It's simply amazing. It looks like it's been prepared for a long time.”
"It's fine to set up the scene. It'll be done with a few more people. The key is the song and dance!”
"One minute on stage is equivalent to ten years of hard work off stage. This song and dance drama is a test of one's skills, and it's also a great test for an individual.”
"Yeah, if you're a little nervous, it's easy to forget the lyrics and tune. It's even easy to perform the dance steps. If you make a mistake, you'll make a big fool of yourself!”
"Whether the food is good or not can be said to be personal taste. If there is a mistake in this song and dance, it will be too obvious. I hope that nothing will happen. Otherwise, the emperor will be furious and no one will have a good time.”
At this moment, a eunuch stepped forward.
"Milords, the banquet has yet to begin. His Highness the Crown Prince invites everyone to sit in the garden.”
The Crown Prince was in charge of this banquet.
However, he did not show up the entire time, and his subordinates were busy with everything.
He just sat in the garden, drinking tea and admiring the flowers.
It was a banquet after all. It was not good to be late, but it was also not good to come too early. It would seem too impatient.
The Crown Prince's actions were in line with the wishes of the officials who had arrived early.
"Lead the way!"
