"Teacher, it's not that I'm talking about you, but you're just a zither master. You're up to no good in the morning to practice your body. Don't tell me that you're so old that your fingers can't bend, and that you can't pluck the zither strings anymore?" "It's alright. Teach me, I'll help you play the zither."

Tuoba looked extremely serious, yawning continuously while casting a sidelong glance at Ji Lanye, who was standing beside him.

Ji Lanye glanced at her indifferently, "Who said that I train to play the zither? Is Teacher not allowed to train for other things? "

This little disciple had pestered him to stay the night in his music shop last night, making use of the Empress Dowager's birthday.

How could he respond to her time and time again? She was now fourteen years old, and in no time at all she turned fifteen. She was also in her prime, so naturally, she was not a child.

But now it was different. She was careless, she only ate and danced all day long without thinking about anything. He also wished that she would remain carefree all the time.

She didn't care, but he had no choice but to think for her. In the end, she wanted … Married, he can't give anyone a chance to say a word about her.

She had never drunk any of the wine before. As soon as she touched any of it, she became extremely drunk and started to joke around with him during the empress dowager's birthday banquet. He was helpless and could only bring her back to the small building in the music shop.

First, he would let her play around as much as he wanted, but who knew that it was not enough for her to play around by herself. Finally, she threw herself at him with her little claws, insisting that he sing to coax her, and she would cry if he didn't sing.

He thought that she was drunk and didn't care much about it. Unexpectedly, there was nothing this little girl couldn't do. She just directly raised her voice and started to cry like a little baby.

After living for 30 years in vain, this was the first time she felt embarrassed. She only felt better after she was forced to sing for her.

She thought that she wouldn't be tired after jumping for so long, so she went back to sleep. But she acted like a little monkey, playing with energy until the latter half of the night, and then fell asleep like a tough octopus while clinging to him.

It was only when Dongfang Jiayi found it difficult to control his anger. The little girl was sleeping soundly, which especially irritated him, so he used an excuse to pick her up. He was so evil that he couldn't sleep, and she didn't want to sleep either.

More importantly, he needed to make her taste the torments of drunkenness and see if she still dared to drink as much as she wanted in the future.

Patting his swollen and dizzy head, Tuoba Yu tilted his head and looked at him, "Teacher, it's not about playing the zither, then why are you training?!"

Ji Lanye raised his eyebrows, "You want to know?"

Tuoba nodded, "I want to know everything about master."

The corner of Ji Lanye's mouth curved into a smile. He stopped walking and put his hands behind his back as he looked at her, "Master, come here and tell you!"

"Master, we are very close. Tell me, I can hear you." Tuoba blinked at him, "Could it be that Master is so old that he can't hear me, do you need me to come over?"

Old again!

Ji Lanye slightly smirked as he narrowed his eyes.

When Tuoba saw his pair of beautiful eyes narrowing, he shook his body and obediently crawled over, "Master, I'm here. Please tell me."

"You really want to know?" Ji Lanye ruffled her hair, as traces of warmth emerged from deep within his pupils.

Tuoba blinked, looking at him curiously with his big watery eyes like a curious puppy, expressing his desire to know.

The smile in Ji Lanye's eyes slowly slipped to the corner of his eyes, and he quickly leaned over and whispered into her ear, "Naturally, it's to strengthen my body and make me happy!"

After saying that, he walked forward.

Tuoba was stunned on the spot for a second.

Did his master mean to strengthen the body and improve the health, and to be happy?!

He twisted the space between his eyebrows. Could he be happy while training?

Seeing him walk away, Tuoba Pang quickly ran up and asked in confusion, "Master, which book has the book about training to make you happy? How come I didn't know?! "

In her memory, she had also read a lot of books!

Ji Lanye seemed to have heard the words in her heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "For example, Tempest Dew, Lotus Incense, Hoodlum, Jade Dew …"

As he was about to continue reciting, Tuoba Pi's pretty face turned red and he hurriedly jumped up to cover his mouth. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Master, can you lower your voice a little?"

If word of this reached her old brother the prince, she would not be able to live.

A soft fragrance drifted over from his lips. Ji Lanye's eyes slightly shifted, but he didn't urge her to move away. Instead, he only gazed at her faintly.

Tuoba looked at him warily, "Master, didn't you say you would keep this a secret from me?"

Ji Lanye slapped her hand away and continued walking forward.

This little disciple of his had a different hobby than other girls as well. He liked to read strange and inexplicable books as much as he could, purely out of curiosity.

Tuoba looked at him as he walked slowly forward. Suddenly, he thought, "How does master know the name of this book? I can still remember it clearly, and he said every word wrong. Could master have been reading it secretly too?"

After thinking about it, he repeated his earlier words, "To strengthen one's body and build up one's health, happy and happy".

The corner of his mouth twitched violently. He suddenly recalled the advice and advice from the Jade Dew to the men of the world. It was roughly that more exercise could effectively prevent the deficiency of the kidney and overturn the yang. Especially when one was old, it was very easy for him to become impotent, and if he became serious, he would never be able to do it again!

Ye Zichen looked at her master sympathetically. He couldn't be unsatisfied with the old man, but he was already starting to exercise now …

"Wait..." Master, did you do this behind my back?! "

Ji Lanye slightly clenched his fists, not wanting to answer her illogical and baseless question.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Tuoba Pingzhi ran up to him and hugged his arm, saying with a hint of sadness in his voice, "Teacher, am I going to have a master and sister-in-law soon?"

In his heart, he thought to himself, "Now that I have started to exercise for my sister-in-law, Master is truly considerate!"

Ji Lanye frowned as he turned his head to look at her. However, the corners of his eyes were attracted by the bright yellow light.

After a while, when he didn't say anything, Tuoba Pang raised his head and looked at him. He saw that his gaze passed through her and landed behind her. "Master, what are you looking at?"

Turning her head to look, she immediately let go of Ji Lanye's arm and was about to run up to him, but her collar was grabbed and held back. "Teacher, why are you pulling me? It's the Emperor …"

He stood alone at the end of the bridge...

Ji Lanye still didn't let go, he only pointed at a certain spot on the opposite side of the two of them.

Tuoba looked over and was shocked, "Did another servant make a mistake today and was dragged by Master to the Soul Orchid Palace to be executed?"

The Soul Orchid Hall was not called the Soul Orchid Hall previously, but the Hall of Punishment. Any palace maids and eunuchs who made mistakes in the palace, or even any concubines with lower status, would all be sent here. Those who admitted their mistakes would be executed on the spot.

Previously, the Hall of Punishment had been flourishing for quite some time, but it wasn't until later when there were ghosts. It was said that there would often be wronged palace maids and eunuchs knocking on the door at night, and some even woke up in the middle of the night to find a person hanging by the bed.

At the beginning, everyone believed, even the few aunts of the Hall of Punishment were all frightened to death by the ghosts, and only then did everyone begin to believe.

Later on, no one was willing to take over the position of the Hall of Punishment, and after a while, the Hall of Punishment was left empty. However, once the palace maids made a mistake or sought death, they would go to the Hall of Punishment to settle it.

After that, the palace decided to name the Hall of Punishment as the 'Hall of Soul and Orchid'. To put it simply, it was where the ghosts lived.

Every time she went to her master's music workshop, she would have to pass by the Soul Orchid Hall. Every time she passed the door of the hall, she would feel the cold wind blowing by, often scaring her into running far away before she dared to stop to catch her breath.

Afterwards, she had personally witnessed a few deaths and no longer dared to pass through, so now she had to go to her master's small building in the music shop. Every time she had to circle around half of the Imperial Palace, it was still very tiring!

"I'm curious, so I went over to take a look." Ji Lanye's gaze fell onto her body as he gently said, "I'll accompany you!"
