Meng Huan’s good mood came to an abrupt end when he heard about the affair of a court musician.

It happened when he was writing in the pavilion. He heard that someone had thrown themselves into the river, and he rushed to see what the reason was.

So, this was what happened— rZgqCN

The court musicians in this group were very young, and with so many of them together, it was easy to cause conflicts. Two of the court musicians were caught and reported to be in a secret romance.

In the yard, the whip struck the young court musician’s back, sending bloody flesh flying.

The kneeling Lingguan was about seventeen years old and had an affair with a sixteen-year-old actress. One of them had just jumped into the lake and was fished out, while the other was kneeling on the ground, beaten until his back was covered with blood marks.

The kneeling court musician was about seventeen years old, and he was secretly together with a sixteen-year-old young actress. Now one had just been fished out of the lake, and the other was kneeling on the floor with a beaten, bloody back.

Meng Huan was shocked and asked, “What did they do?”

Another court musician replied, “They weren’t at training and were hiding in the chamber kissing.”

“…”

Meng Huan, a pervert from the twenty-first century, gasped, “Just kissing?” uvlOUd

Why did the two of them have to be beaten to death for merely kissing?

The court musician was surprised by the word ‘just’.

The master of the opera troupe was so angry that the actor secretly said: “That little Huadan is a good singer and a beautiful person. She should keep her body clean and serve it to the dignitaries in the future. Maybe she can even take her as a concubine. Soaring to the sky, and the other actor is a Laosheng singer. Without the opportunity to develop, he is not worthy of this little actress.”

The master of the Pear Garden theatrical troupe was furious, and the court musician secretly shared, “That young actress sings well and is very beautiful, so she needs to keep her body pure for a lord’s enjoyment in the future. You never know; she might even be accepted as a concubine and soar to great status. But the other court musician plays older roles without any chance of future development, so he is not worthy of this young actress at all.” FaeKRc

Meng Huan finally got it.

If the young actress was able to climb the social ladder, the master of the group would get a sum of money.

An inexplicable emotion spread in Meng Huan’s heart.

He muttered, as if to himself, “Do they have to die?”

Then a male voice sounded behind him. “Does the Royal Consort want to spare them?” mAx4fW

Meng Huan looked back and saw Cui Han, who was dressed fully in silk.

This time, he didn’t have stage makeup on, and he looked quite handsome. It was just that the skin around his eyes was dark, like he had indulged in wine and lust.

Meng Huan pursed his lips tightly. “I think the offense doesn’t deserve that harsh of a punishment.”

He was only commenting off-handedly, but he didn’t expect Cui Han to be extremely enthusiastic and shout, “Very well, allow this junior to help the Royal Consort ask for mercy.” aV8cFP

He strode to the middle of the yard, grabbed the whip in the master’s hand, and threw it to the ground, asking, “What are you hitting him for? Why kill without talking it out?”

He frowned and was very dissatisfied: “They are not young, and they are not at an age where they cannot tell right from wrong. They are willing to be together and have not caused any trouble, so you can just talk about it. If you really beat them to death and cripple them, how can you educate these ten people?” Won’t the coming year be in vain?”

Frowning in dissatisfaction, he continued to rebuke, “They aren’t young anymore, not at an age where they can’t distinguish what is right and wrong. Their feelings are sincere, and they haven’t caused any harm, so you can just talk it out properly. If you really did kill or do irreversible damage, wouldn’t that waste your decades of teaching them?”

The master sighed deeply. “Young Master, you don’t know—” uGoHPF

“What don’t you know? Are you raising these children just to work hard to earn money for you?” Cui Han clapped his hands, and the servant behind him took out a piece of gold, “Stop fighting, let’s talk it over, we really can’t let them redeem themselves.” Once we get married, everything will be settled.”

“What is there that I don’t know? Didn’t you raise these children just so they could work to death to make you money?” Cui Han clapped his hands, and the slave behind him took out a piece of gold. “Stop beating and be civil. If this is really unacceptable, let them buy back their freedom and get married. Solving the root of the problem solves everything else as well.”

The master took the gold with a complicated expression.

When it came to disciplining his disciples, no one could stop him even if he killed them, so he didn’t expect the Bodhisattva to smile upon them today. VI2Z1

…But this Cui Han, in his impression, was a young master not easy to get along with?

But seeing Cui Han’s attitude of fighting against injustice, although he couldn’t figure out what game the young master was playing, he still had the foresight and said, “Thank you for the two of them, young master.”

But seeing Cui Han’s attitude of fighting against injustice, although he couldn’t figure out what kind of game the other party was playing, he could still make his own judgment regarding the situation. “Thanking the young master on behalf of these two.”

Then he said, “Take him back and be careful of the injury on his back.” VTRLdC

Several court musicians came forward, lifted the kneeling youth, and took him into the courtyard.

Meng Huan was relieved that these two lives were saved.

He turned to look at Cui Han. His first impression hadn’t been great, but now it was a little more positive.

Cui Han cupped his hands, pleased with himself. “Royal Consort, how was that?” mTARj

Meng Huan approved, “Very good.”

Cui Han smiled and said with a thick skin: “Junior saved a life for the princess. Does the princess owe this junior a favor?”

Showing his thick face now, Cui Han smiled and asked, “This junior saved a life for the Royal Consort; would that not mean the Royal Consort now owes this junior a favor?”

“…?” dzExMN

Meng Huan murmured, “What?”

Was he profiting from that poor couple’s misfortune?

“This junior has no other intention, only asking for a cup of tea with the Royal Consort. Hahaha.”

“…” y dsRq

It appeared that this person wanted to ally with him. Meng Huan wasn’t quite sure of this person’s motive, but after some careful consideration, he nodded. “Alright.”

The place where they were to drink tea was in the pavilion. The servants fanned them, while other servants served some sugar cakes and rice crisps on the table.

Meng Huan originally wanted to drink a bowl of tea with him and run away, but unexpectedly, Cui Han didn’t drink a sip of tea. Instead, he slapped his fingertips on the stone surface, his voice was melodious, triumphant, and quite romantic, as if he was singing something.

At first, Meng Huan wanted to book it as soon as they finished the cup of tea. Unexpectedly, not only did Cui Han not drink a single drop of tea, he tapped the stone table’s surface with his fingertips to create a beat, trilling complex melodies proudly and elegantly, as if he were singing some kind of song. DGyU4L

It was a somewhat desolate tune. It might be said that he sang it casually, but it was different, because every line was sung clearly and pronounced clearly, as if he was deliberately trying to attract people’s attention.

This was a somewhat dreary tune. Describing it as Cui Han singing off-handedly wouldn’t be accurate because every sentence was sung with such clear enunciation that it seemed to be purposefully drawing attention.

Once Cui Han finished, he sang it a second time.

Meng Huan finally realized that the other seemed to be waiting for him to ask, so he could only ask, “What are you singing?” PR6Dbq

Cui Han laughed and said, “This junior has been in the opera garden since he was a child and has become quite popular. Now he sings a tune taught by a previous master, called “Resolving Father’s Injustice”.”

Cui Han laughed, “This junior has been mingling with the Pear Garden since childhood and has mastered some techniques. What I’m singing is a little tune taught by a previous master called Redressing Father’s Injustice.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Oh.” Meng Huan murmured before taking a sip of his tea, showing very little reaction.

—He didn’t know much about Chinese opera. PINRTs

Receiving an indifferent look, Cui Han puckered his lips and spoke with encouragement, “Royal Consort, there is a story in this song.”

“Mm-hm, go on.”

“It’s about a woman whose father was framed by corrupt officials. The woman filed a complaint all the way from the county to the state capital, and then to the capital. Finally, she stopped His Majesty’s horse and complained, finally clearing her father’s grievances.”

“The story is about a girl whose father was framed by corrupt officials. The girl reported her way from the county town to the provincial capital, then to the imperial capital. Finally, she stopped his majesty’s horse and brought her accusation before him, finally able to clear her father’s injustice.” ZUHwIa

Cui Han stared searchingly at Meng Huan with somewhat narrowed eyes, seemingly waiting for Meng Huan’s response.

He had already made it super-duper clear. If Meng Huan were mindful, he would think of his own father.

In front of him, Meng Huan took a sip of tea, burned his tongue, put the cup down, and made a mindless comment.

“That’s very touching.” K8Z9DQ

Cui Han, “…”

He took a deep breath, suppressed the heat in his chest, and spoke more clearly. “Does it not remind the Royal Consort of something? To relieve the injustice of one’s father, or something like that?”

“…”

It was only by being so straightforward that Meng Huan turned his head and looked back with widened eyes. 038KvZ

Cui Han finally showed a weary smile. “Royal Consort, this junior was rude.”
