1. "This trip out of the palace is a secret op, so we can't expose our identities. From now on,"
1. "You're not allowed to call me "Grand commander." everyone will call me "Sister gu.""
2. "Everyone else will be sisters, too."
1. "Zhu jun and hehuan are second sister and third sister."
1. "Chi qingcheng and night owl are fourth sister and the youngest."
1. "As for lord jiang yi..."
1. "I don't want to be chosen! I want..."
1. "Be sisters! I want to be ningning's consort!"
1. "What kind of consort behaves like a girl who hasn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet?"
1. "Then I'll be your wife. That works, right?"
1. "Two women, does that even count?"
2. "Sister gu, you're joking. Ever since the hundred demons disaster, every nation has been promoting free love for ages. As long as it's mutual, anything goes."
1. "So even the yuri vibes are thriving here?"
1. "C-consort... Why would a scholar still have time to visit"
1. "Xianyue house?"
2. "One last blowout the day before the exam, I totally get it~"
1. "These scholars all flocked to the capital for the exam, so the nearby inns..."
1. "...are obviously packed. Some are even jacking up prices on the spot."
2. "Then where are we staying?"
1. "What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and grab a room!"
1. "A room!"
1. Inside juxianlou inn
1. "A-are there any rooms left?"
1. "W-we only have two left..."
1. "W-we only have two left..."
1. "Two rooms... Just me and ningning alone in a room together, hehe..."
1. "Sister gu, the four of us can share one room!!!"
1. "Fine by me."
1. "Good thing we found a place before dark."
1. "C-consort, I can't wait any longer!"
1. "Whoa, so this is the street market? This is my first time seeing it!!"
1. "Consort! Over there, they're killing someone! It's a murder!"
1. "Wife, that's just a street performance and the "Smashing rocks on the chest" and "Spear-to-the-throat" tricks."
2. "Consort, consort, how did he conjure up a whole water vat? That's witchcraft!"
1. "That's sleight of hand, not witchcraft."
1. "Kind sir, kind miss... Please... Spare a bite to eat..."
1. "Thank you, miss! May all your wishes come true, and may everything go your way!"
1. "What do you think, honored guests? If you like them, they're five qian each!"
1. "These sugar figurines, I'll take them all!"
1. "Miss, you're a living bodhisattva!!"
1. "The candied hawthorns here, I'm buying them all!"
1. "Today's spending, everything in this whole place is on me, miss jiang!"
1. "Your majesty, you can't just throw money around like that..."
1. "Ningning, you know... For ten years as empress, I was basically nothing more than a puppet."
1. "But I wasn't blind or deaf. How could I not know?"
1. "Tens of thousands... Hundreds of thousands... Even millions of taels,"
1. "Traded for delicacies, built into palaces, laid out as silks and brocades..."
1. "How much of that ever actually reaches the common people?"
1. "Based on that alone, I deserve to be called a tyrant."
1. Ten years as empress, endless wealth swallowed into the bottomless pit of corrupt officials. It's not like tonight: a mere hundred taels of loose silver, traded directly for the people's smiles.
1. "Today... Is the most meaningful day I've ever had..."
1. "This minister understands."
1. "Understands."
2. "I knew it"
1. "I knew it. Our empress is the real deal."
1. "Have more money!!!"
1. "Can I take that back!?"
2. "She's... Surprisingly energetic and youthful... I"
1. "Youthful, I guess..."
1. "Ningning, I'm sleepy. Time to share a bed and turn in..."
1. "Your majesty, it's time for your lesson."
1. "As long as it's with ningning, I'll "Study" anything!"
1. "Does your majesty understand the principle of not flaunting wealth?"
1. "How is it flaunting? This... Only ningning can see it."
1. "G-gentler... I'm scared it'll hurt..."
1. "Are we going straight into practical training already?"
2. "How is it"
1. "Is it is it, flaunting? This... Only ningning can see it."
1. "Does ningning only care about money?"
1. "There's more here too... Why are you even stuffing banknotes in your cleavage..."
1. "Ningning, slower... Slower..."
1. "Why are you carrying this much money?"
1. "I'm doing this for you! You're going out to handle serious business and what if you run short and end up suffering?"
2. "I know you mean well, but your majesty still needs to be cautious-"
3. "If people see you carrying this much, you'll become a target."
1. "If they see it, they'll target me?"
1. "Of course. Wealth and beauty are the easiest things to trigger someone's primal desires."
1. "Ningning!"
2. "Then your primal desire..."
1. "Hey!"
1. "Ningning, you big fat liar..."
1. "Kinda cute."
1. "That's it!"
1. Current mission: in three days, a major deal will take place inside xianyue house. This deal is connected to one of the seven flower queens, yu zhirou. You plan to...
