My Husband is a Drama King [Book Transmigration] 65p1

Chapter 65 p1: Daily Records

Emperor Pingjing laughed. “It’s necessary to do chores when you first enter the officialdom. I still know Scholar Xie.”

His mood improved a little. The young ministers had to do chores, and when he had just ascended the throne, he had also been just a spectator.

Now his body was strong enough, his mind sharp enough. His mother was old, but he was stronger.

In the future, he would definitely be the final winner. Thinking of this, Emperor Pingjing’s mood became even more open. Now, looking at this bowl of bird’s nest, he didn’t feel so much disgust. He took a few mouthfuls with a spoon.

Laifu breathed a sigh of relief. After His Majesty had had half a bowl and put it down, he had a young eunuch take it away.

It was good that His Majesty could eat. When he reached the hall outside, he sent someone to the Fengyang Palace to report to the Phoenix Lord.

His Majesty was still young. He had just established a Phoenix Lord, and there were no other concubines in the harem yet. Besides, the Phoenix Lord was the original wife, and the Xiao family was at the height of its power. If he were to give birth to a prince…

Laifu didn’t dare to think any further.

A palace attendant went to the Fengyang Palace to report. Xiao Yurong nodded and had his attendant give him some silver.

Xiping said happily, “Your Highness, His Majesty has eaten the bird’s nest and has also said that he will be staying here tonight.”

Xiao Yurong smiled, his skin as white as snow, his features beautiful. “Of course His Majesty gives me face. It would be good if I could have a child.”

Xiping: “Your Highness and His Majesty are still young. There will definitely be a little prince.”

The power of the harem was still in his aunt’s hands. Thinking of this, Xiao Yurong’s gaze was gloomy. Logically, he was already the Phoenix Lord, and his aunt should have handed the harem over to him. But she was still holding on to power, relying on the fact that he was young, and not thinking of him at all.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was the only ge’er in the direct line of the Xiao family, his aunt would not have let him marry his emperor cousin.

But he had already fallen in love with his emperor cousin. He was naturally on his cousin’s side. His cousin was the emperor, and his aunt was already old. She should be enjoying her old age.

Xiao Yurong thought of his relatives in the Xiao family. He hoped that his elder brother could arrange these things well.

After all, His Majesty was not the same as before.

This time, with the new Jinshi entering the court, their Xiao family should also win over some talented people, so that they would not be without anyone to speak for them in the future.

“What’s the new top scorer’s name? Xiping, go and check his family background.” To be chosen as the top scorer by His Majesty, he would definitely be heavily used.

The Xiao family would only be on good terms with him. They could not be too close, or they would be suspected by His Majesty.

When Xiao Yurong was a child, he liked to play house. He would play the role of the head of the family, and his elder brothers would all fool around with him. Only the then-crown prince, Pingjing, had just glanced at him and left.

Xiao Yurong liked the imperial family, the powerful. Who in the world could be higher than the emperor? He didn’t like just anyone.

Xiao Yurong touched his phoenix robe and revealed an arrogant smile.

Xiping took his leave.

Song Changxu bought a portion of mung bean cakes on the street and carried them home. Xu Zhizhou was lying on a lounge chair. The fire in the kitchen was burning brightly, and a bag of sugar had already been made.

The first step in making sugar was to prepare the raw materials, followed by saccharification. The mixture of raw materials was sealed in a container and kept at a high temperature to saccharify. Finally, it was filtered and boiled. After saccharification was complete, hot water was added, and the sugar liquid was released. It was boiled in an iron pot with warm water until it thickened. After the fire was stopped, it would cool down and crystallize into sugar.

Xu Zhizhou had to watch the fire. After he had added the firewood, he would take a short nap on the lounge chair. When he woke up, it would be almost ready. This was easier than Bobo Chicken and earned more.

But he still thought of Bobo Chicken. If he had a shop, he would still want to open a Bobo Chicken shop.

Song Changxu placed the mung bean cakes on the table. “Zhizhou, have some. In five days, Sir Xie is hosting a banquet for us. I’ll be back late.”

Xu Zhizhou took a bite of a mung bean cake. “I know. After dinner tonight, we’ll go out and buy two sets of clothes. Now that we’re in the capital, we still have to have two presentable sets.”

Song Changxu’s face showed admiration. “I’ll listen to you in everything.”

Xu Zhizhou snorted coldly, his tail up. “Of course you’ll listen to me. Because I’m right.”

After dinner, Xu Zhizhou excitedly pulled Song Changxu to buy clothes.

He was buying for his husband, and of course, for himself. When he had to bring his family to an official occasion, he couldn’t lose face.

At a shop, Xu Zhizhou took a set of clothes embroidered with green bamboo and pushed Song Changxu to try it on. He himself chose a green and white robe.

When the two of them came out, they were stunned by each other’s appearance. Xu Zhizhou nodded with satisfaction.

“Boss, we’ll take these two, as well as that one with the ink bamboo, and that sky-blue one.”

The boss agreed, and Xu Zhizhou paid.

Song Changxu carried the bags.

Song Changxu was a little surprised when he walked out of the shop. He said, “You actually paid on your own initiative?!”

Xu Zhizhou: “…”

“I’m in charge of the finances at home. I’ll support the daily expenses. You don’t have to. You can give it to me…”

“I want to support you. You’re so good, husband,” Song Changxu said with a smile. Although he was the new top scorer, he was smiling as if he were worthless.

Xu Zhizhou happily held his arm.

Looking at the night market in the capital, Xu Zhizhou looked for a long time.

One day, there would be a lamp that belonged to them.

Back at home, after washing up, Xu Zhizhou jumped into bed. After washing up, Song Changxu washed the new robes he had bought. He washed four of them.

Soapberries were cheap and had a fresh smell. A few rubs and they were clean. The robes could be hung up to dry.

Back in his room, Song Changxu saw Xu Zhizhou lying on the bed, swinging his legs and reading a storybook. His legs were long and fair. He watched, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

In the past, he hadn’t known the benefits. Now he did, but he was always busy with the imperial examination and his official duties.

Xu Zhizhou laughed as he read the storybook. Suddenly, a shadow fell over him, and a kiss landed on the back of his neck. He shivered.

Song Changxu loved his current appearance. He pressed down on him and took the storybook from his hand.

Xu Zhizhou was furious. “I haven’t seen them get together yet.”

After they got together, his interest would wane. Now that they hadn’t, he was reading with great interest.

Song Changxu couldn’t hear these things. He nibbled on the back of his neck, his hands moving down.

The corners of Xu Zhizhou’s eyes were red. He asked, “You still have to go to work tomorrow morning. You’re still fooling around today.”

Song Changxu held him and turned over, his gaze burning. “I’m still young. I have plenty of energy.”

The image of the storybook in Xu Zhizhou’s mind completely dissipated, and his body was about to fall apart from the impact.

This person was only a year older than him, and he was a weak scholar, but he was so strong.

In the past, he couldn’t even carry a bucket of water.

Xu Zhizhou bit his neck fiercely. He always liked to look at him. Let him have a good look, and let him know the pain.

Song Changxu really took it, his expression restrained, but his movements did not stop at all, but became faster.

“You can bite anywhere, but not my neck. I’m afraid people will see,” Song Changxu said.

Xu Zhizhou’s face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed and angry. “You’re still worried about this. You’re already shameless…”

Before he could finish, his gaze suddenly scattered a little.

His fingers weakly held onto Song Changxu’s arm. There were fine beads of sweat on it, both hot and slippery. A wave of heat hit his face.

His mind was completely like paste, letting him do as he pleased.

…

The sun was already shining on his face. Xu Zhizhou’s eyelids moved. He opened his eyes. Song Changxu had already been at work for a long time.

He put on his clothes and went to wash up. There was a bowl of steamed egg custard in the pot.

Xu Zhizhou’s mood improved after he had eaten the egg custard. He first went to boil hot water, and then he made sugar. This time, he made more, and it was all sold.

When the hot water was boiled, he brewed a pot of tea, and the fire in the kitchen was burning. Xu Zhizhou changed his clothes and carried a vegetable basket to buy vegetables.

His husband liked to eat stir-fried green peppers with meat, and also stir-fried chicken with mushrooms. He also had to buy a few vegetables for soup.

Xu Zhizhou saw many husbands and wives carrying baskets to buy vegetables. He put away the vegetables he had chosen, and then went to get two catties of pork and two catties of ribs.

The ribs could be used to make soup. Anyway, he was always making sugar at home. He might as well make a meal of ribs.

There were only two people in the family, and they could buy vegetables every day. Xu Zhizhou liked to pick fresh vegetables. He would buy a little less each time, enough for the two of them. When they had finished, he would come again.

Xu Zhizhou was about to go back with his basket when someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

“Zhizhou,” Xie Cang said, pursing his lips and smiling.

Xu Zhizhou was pleasantly surprised to see Xie Cang in the capital. “You’re also here. Why don’t you come to my house and sit?”

“I’ve been here for a few days. I just came out for some fresh air today. My elder brother is a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy. Our whole family has come to the capital.”

His father had no official position, and his mother’s family was in the capital. They had bought a residence in the capital and would be staying for a long time.

“I haven’t congratulated you yet, Zhuangyuan Furen,” Xie Cang said with a smile.

Xu Zhizhou was embarrassed. “Don’t say that.”

The two of them exchanged addresses. When Xu Zhizhou returned to his room, he was in a light mood. In the future, he would have two families to visit in the capital. He didn’t know who he would be friends with in the capital yet, but it was a new beginning.

On the other side, Song Changxu was still doing chores with Shen Liang and Pei Shengrong. After the five-day holiday, Scholar Xie had hosted a banquet for them. After drinking at the banquet, the Hanlin academicians were all a little drunk. Someone had pulled open his robe, revealing a smooth chest, and was composing poems.

Song Changxu hated composing poems the most. He made an excuse to go to the bathroom. He only came back slowly when it was almost over.

Shen Liang sized him up for a while and said, “Sir Xie is looking for you.”

You’ve been gone for so long. Did you fall into the latrine?

Song Changxu went to Scholar Xie’s side. Xie Anping introduced a few people to Song Changxu.

After this holiday, Xie Anping would assign work to the three of them. They would no longer be doing trivial matters.
