Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 64: The Dazzling Female General Yun Yao, the Second Strategy of Governing the People

"Master Bai, Yao Yun has passed the scientific examination. Can you lend a helping hand?"

"Thank you so much, young lady!"

A gentle female voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

Bai Yu was taken aback and turned to look at the intellectual and beautiful girl walking beside him.

The girl's gaze was enchanting, as if she could speak.

However, Li Jinghao on the other side didn't hear anything.

A clever girl.

"It's nothing, just a small matter!"

Bai Yu waved his hand lightly.

It was just something he casually mentioned to the old emperor.

If Miss Lingbi became an official, he would receive a reward.

Li Jinghao: ........

I should be under the car, not here.

Clearly, it's a movie with three people, but I don't deserve to have a name.

Listening to the two of them playing dumb riddles, even the sociable terrorist Li Jinghao was speechless.

"Brother Bai, help me, help me!"

He wasn't someone who was obsessed with beauty.

He understood the rule of not coveting a friend's wife.

But making friends!

When everyone is together, they should be able to have a conversation without awkwardness.

"Haha, you two haven't met yet! Let me introduce you as the middleman."

Life is boring without friends.

Bai Yu gladly introduced the two: "Brother Li, this is Miss Yao Yun, a friend I made during the imperial examination. She also passed the exam."

"Miss Yao Yun, this is Brother Li, Ji..."

"Li Jinghao!"

Li Jinghao quickly caught on and smiled at the two.

This time, the atmosphere is harmonious~

"Hello, Master Li!"

Yao Yun slightly bowed towards Li Jinghao, her voice gentle but with a hint of distance.

It's just a greeting to save face in front of Bai Yu.

That's enough!

"Haha, Miss Yao Yun, 28 is indeed a good name! You are truly a heroine among women, passing exams and surpassing me!"

Li Jinghao is lively and talkative, constantly laughing towards Yao Yun.

Yao Yun felt a little embarrassed by his straightforwardness.

Clearly... she did terribly on the exam!

But it was this person by her side who helped her.

"Miss Yao Yun, your name sounds familiar! Ah... I remember now!"

"It reminds me of General Yun Yao!"

"The illustrious female general, undefeated in battle, slaughtering millions, chasing enemies for thousands of miles!"

"Bai Xiong, Miss Yao Yun, do you know?"

"Yun Yao's Iron Kill Army, invincible throughout the ages!"

Li Jinghao seemed to have remembered something, his eyes becoming eager.

As if he were a fan discussing his idol from Bai Yu's past life.

"We have had fifty years of peace in Qianyuan, all thanks to General Yun Lian's battle! Truly an unparalleled heroine among women, Qianyuan's number one general!"

"She is my idol!"

Speaking with excitement, he shook his head and sighed softly, "It's just a pity..."

"I just want to join the military and pursue General Yun Yao's aspirations!"

However, being talkative makes it easy to overlook others' feelings.

Li Jinghao didn't notice that when he mentioned this name,

Yao Yun suddenly trembled, her expression changing.

Bai Yu looked at Yao Yun with interest.

She asked Li Jinghao, "So, Brother Li, are you a scholar?"

Li Jinghao shrugged, "Alas! I am the only seedling in my family, and my father doesn't allow it!"

"What do you think, Brother Bai, about General Yun?" He asked Bai Yu as if he were promoting an idol.

Yao Yun, who was beside them, also perked up her ears, seemingly interested in Bai Yu's thoughts.

Bai Yu paused and asked, "Um... I wanted to ask, General Yun... is she beautiful?"

Li Jinghao: ?

I'm discussing the achievements of an idol with you, and you're asking me about her appearance?

Does a beautiful woman have an advantage in battle?

Well... Brother Bai is indeed a connoisseur of beauty.

"I don't know."

After all, there are no cameras or anything like that in this world.

Li Jinghao shook his head gently. "But, it is said that fifty years ago, she had a fearsome reputation. She could stop babies from crying, and it was rumored that she had broad shoulders and a sturdy waist, even more robust than men. As for her appearance..."

How should I put it?

It doesn't seem like a particularly beautiful face.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to disguise herself as a man and infiltrate the enemy's camp.

"No!"

However, before he could finish speaking,

Yao Yun interrupted him,

As if she had hit a nerve,

The introverted girl's voice suddenly became louder.

But,

After making eye contact with the two of them,

It quickly subsided.

She lowered her gaze and said hesitantly, "She is very beautiful..."

People fear her, and rumors have distorted her appearance!

"Haha, really! That's even better! Miss Yao Yun also admires General Yun, huh? No wonder she serves in a male disguise!"

Li Jinghao laughed and smiled at Yao Yun.

"Yes."

Yao Yun glanced at Bai Yu and nodded slightly.

"Is she beautiful? Then she is the general I admire and long for!" Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Hey! Bai Xiong, you're not sincere!" Li Jinghao, a cheerful and talkative person, always had something to say.

The three of them met today and traveled together, but they didn't feel bored and got along exceptionally well.

Time passed quickly.

"Mr. Bai, are you free now? His Highness has a request for you."

While the three of them were chatting and dining in the elegant pavilion,

Lan Chunya approached and bowed to Bai Yu, asking.

"Cough cough, Bai Xiong, I'm going to see the lake scenery in the south. I won't accompany you."

Before Bai Yu could reply, Li Jinghao smiled and said, "Let's meet again on the Moon Terrace during the poetry gathering tonight."

It seemed that the Grand Princess only wanted to see Bai Yu, and perhaps wanted to discuss something that was not suitable for others to hear.

It would be inappropriate to follow Bai Yu at this time.

"Bai Gongzi, I'll also wait for you on the Moon Terrace," Yao Yun said, taking a sip of tea and speaking to Bai Yu.

These two people really made themselves feel like they were being rushed.

Bai Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Okay!"

"Let's go."

He nodded at the female guard.

"Please."

"Qiu Yun, is there any problem with my attire like this?"

In the private room on the top floor of the elegant pavilion,

The beautiful woman gently smoothed her stray hair near her ear.

She wore a brocade dress and a black veil, tied her hair in a ponytail. Although she wasn't dressed in men's clothing like usual, she still had the charm of a young girl.

There is a unique elegance and noble aura, with a heroic and confident demeanor.

Although beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes are sharp and proud, noble and unapproachable, making it impossible for people to see her as an ordinary woman, without any presumptuous thoughts.

The princess of the current dynasty, Lan Xi!

However, at this moment, she inexplicably feels a bit nervous and asks the maid beside her.

After all, that presumptuous guy has flirted with her twice already.

It has left her feeling conflicted.

Today is considered a formal meeting, if Bai Yu mentions this again, she will really lose her composure.

"Your Highness is extremely beautiful and well-groomed!"

The maid doesn't know what Lan Xi means by these words.

She just says respectfully.

She has never seen anyone more beautiful than Her Highness!

"Good!"

Lan Xi breathes a sigh of relief.

Just then, the door opens.

A young man in white walks in and casually sits opposite her.

"Long time no see!"

The Lan family really has good genes.

I have to find a way to have her bear my child!

Bai Yu looks at this familiar woman and smiles warmly.

Last time they met, it was the princess who took the initiative to chat with him. This time, he takes the initiative to greet her.

Compared to the princess's dashing appearance in men's clothing before, this beauty now has added a touch of softness and nobility.

Being influenced by the supreme royal family, there is no second beauty in the world who possesses the same temperament as Lan Xi.

"Bai Yu, long time no see!"

They both don't pretend to have forgotten their encounter outside the examination hall.

Lan Xi behaves appropriately and smiles gently at Bai Yu.

Today, Bai Yu's attire is more neat and tidy, like a dashing gentleman, gentle and refined.

"Your Highness Xilan~ How is it? Isn't it much more comfortable like this? You were so reckless with it before!" Bai Yu said in a light and teasing tone towards Lan Xi.

His words seemed to imply something.

Xi: .........

As expected, unexpected things still happened!

Can't you restrain yourself even when we're formally meeting?

I am the Grand Princess!!!!

Why is there such a bold and presumptuous playboy?!!!

"You still dare to say!"

"I am Lan Xi!"

The first time she lied in front of him, he immediately saw through it, and now he uses it to tease her.

Lan Xi couldn't help but glare at him.

Is she being too gentle?

She has lost her dignity!

What was he like when he met Lan Er?

The Grand Princess was lost in her thoughts.

She had never interacted with such a subject before.

"Hahaha, alright alright!"

"I obey, I won't say anymore!"

Jokes should be moderate, or they will become annoying.

After Bai Yu's interruption, the atmosphere between the two became more romantic.

It didn't seem like a princess and a subject,

but more like friends having a casual conversation.

Lan Xi raised her glass and said to Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, congratulations on achieving the top score in the imperial examination. I really like the poems you wrote.

Although they don't have the same deep emotions and insights as Lan Chi's after six years in the military,

from the perspective of a king, your literary accomplishment is also high.

I can better understand the emotions conveyed in this poem.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

The prince and princess both like to use this poem as an opening line.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and asked Lan Xi, "Your Highness, have you seen my test paper?"

Although they had only met once before,

if Lan Xi hadn't seen his test paper, she wouldn't treat him so kindly.

He may be stronger than Lan Chi, but not by much.

He wouldn't even put up a plaque with a white jade proposition at the entrance of the English and Virtuous Poetry Society.

Bai Yu was aware of this.

This shows that Lan Xi knows him better.

"Well... I have seen it."

Although Bai Yu was asking a question,

looking into his eyes, Lan Xi knew that this demon prodigy must have guessed it.

She didn't want to repeat the mistake of lying and being exposed, losing favorability.

It's better to be honest.

"Oh... I see..."

It seems that the old emperor still favors the eldest daughter a little more.

"Your Highness, if you have seen my test paper, then what you should pay attention to the most is not my poetry."

Poetry is just a way to cultivate sentiment, express emotions, and entertain life.

It is not worth mentioning in the current political and military situation.

"Um... yes."

After pondering for a moment, Lan Xi said to this sixteen-year-old boy who was younger than her, "I would like to ask you for advice."

Honestly, when Lan Xi saw Bai Yu's argument about the emperor's politics and the control of the people in the second half of the paper,

it had a great impact on this young princess!

It was much greater than Lan Su's impact!

This conflicted with many of her beliefs and ideals.

But,

She knew that what Bai Yu said was right.

"Your Highness, feel free to speak. I will surely speak without reservation!"

"Really?"

"I never lie!"

TRIE:.....

"Bai Yu, can you tell me what is the other method of controlling the people that is incompatible with this era?" Lan Xi's gaze was intense as she persistently asked Bai Yu.

Bai Yu didn't play dumb or evade the question like she did when facing Lan Su before. She simply shook her head lightly and said, "Knowing about an ideal that cannot be achieved in this era is useless. Your Highness, asking me this question is meaningless."

She stubbornly said, "But I want to know!"

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Yu said to Lan Xi, "Shall I describe an ideal country for Your Highness?"

"Hmm?"

Lan Xi paused and said, "Go ahead."

"Has Your Highness ever imagined such a world?"

Bai Yu organized her words and said, "With rapid development of social productivity, automation of food production and processing, complete equality among social classes, complete common ownership of means of production, extremely high moral standards of the people, conscious engagement in production, conscious pursuit of needs..."

Bai Yu described the ultimate fantasy of another world to the princess of this feudal dynasty.

The imaginative concept completely exceeded Lan Xi's expectations, and she widened her eyes in a daze.

"No... it's impossible!"

She was shocked, shaking her head incessantly, and tremblingly said, "This is simply the ideal of a madman!"

How could this be possible?

How could there be such a world?

Given the background of feudal rule since ancient times, Lan Xi found it difficult to even imagine this world.

Bai Yu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and smiled as she said to Lan Xi, "This is the ultimate goal of the strategy of controlling the people. At that time, the dynasty will no longer exist, everyone will be equal, and the royal family will be no different from the common people..."

"This will take a very long time, possibly thousands of years to achieve!"

"So, Your Highness, do you still want to know?"
