Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The next day, late in the afternoon.

Bai Yi, rubbing her sleepy eyes, knocked on Fang Zheng Yi's door.

At this time, Fang Zheng Yi was still fast asleep. Seeing this, Bai Yi cautiously walked forward and squatted down to observe Fang Zheng Yi.

She had experienced countless things since birth, but this was the first time she had seen such a peculiar person.

The Fang Zheng Yi before her had his mouth slightly open, drool hanging from the corner of his lips, sleeping with a carefree look.

His features were handsome, clearly the appearance of a charming young master, yet the things he did were all bizarre, like a hooligan.

Even the people around him were strange.

Just as Bai Yi was about to observe him more closely, Fang Zheng Yi suddenly flipped over, executing a one-armed grand circle.

A fist landed squarely on her delicate face!

Bai Yi fell to the ground, covering her right cheek, her eyes wide with tears welling up, full of resentment.

Bastard! Why... why do you always hurt me.....

Bai Yi resentfully grabbed the edge of the bed and climbed up, forcefully shoving Fang Zheng Yi a couple of times, and shouted loudly: "Young Master! Wake up!! It's time for the early court meeting!!"

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

Helpless, Bai Yi shouted two more times: "Wake up! Young Master!"

Still no response. Fang Zheng Yi was sleeping soundly, completely oblivious.

Suddenly, a sly glint flashed in Bai Yi's eyes. She covered his mouth with one hand and disgustedly stuck the other into Fang Zheng Yi's nostril.

After a moment... Fang Zheng Yi was suffocated awake, sat up, his eyes red, and said: "What are you doing!?"

Seeing him discomfited, Bai Yi secretly rejoiced, lowering her eyes and speaking docilely: "Young Master, it's time for the early court meeting... If we're late, I'm afraid we'll be too late. After breakfast, we should wait at the Meridian Gate. If we're any later, I'm afraid there won't be enough time."

Fang Zheng Yi took a deep breath, feeling annoyed.

That's right, the morning court starts at five... He went to bed around ten o'clock last night, and only slept for less than seven hours. Wasn't this killing him!

Rubbing his eyes, he said irritably: "I know, where's Xiao Tao?"

"Xiao Tao wandered around the city all day yesterday, and hasn't woken up yet... That's why I came to wake you..."

Fang Zheng Yi thought about it.

Indeed, yesterday he sent Xiao Tao to the city to look for Li Long all day. They didn't find the person, but she was exhausted enough.

It would be good to let her sleep longer.

So he got up and raised his hand: "I know, get dressed!"

"Ah?" Bai Yi raised her pretty face, dumbfounded. She didn't know how!

She had never dressed a man in her life.

"Ah what ah! Get dressed!" Fang Zheng Yi stood with his eyes closed, looking impatient.

Bai Yi stammered: "I don't know how....."

What a useless maid!

Fang Zheng Yi opened his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and said plausibly: "Then I don't know how either!"

He hadn't dressed himself in three or four years, and his life skills had long since deteriorated to his grandmother's house.

Without Xiao Tao, he was half-crippled. Now he had found another half-crippled person to serve him.

How was he going to live like this!

Bai Yi slandered inwardly, and helplessly said: "Then I'll go call Xiao Tao..."

"No need! Let her sleep for a while. You dress me. Learn well. If you can't even dress someone, how can I take you out, Young Master!"

Bai Yi curled her lips. Weren't you the same!

A grown man who doesn't even know how to dress!

In the end, Bai Yi still dressed Fang Zheng Yi in his official robes in a flurry.

At the moment of tying the last ribbon, Bai Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a sense of victory in her heart.

Fang Zheng Yi looked in the mirror and curled his lips: "So-so."

NM!

Bai Yi was expressionless and said nothing.

"Eh, why is your face swollen?"

"Stiff neck!"

"Hey, novel!"

"........"

After a lot of fuss, there wasn't much time left after breakfast.

Fang Zheng Yi hurriedly boarded the carriage and turned to Bai Yi and said: "You don't need to pick me up. I'll come back myself after I get off work. Today, buy all the things that should be bought at home. If you don't understand anything, learn more from Xiao Tao."

After saying that, he got into the carriage.

Once in the carriage, Fang Zheng Yi found a corner and huddled up, thinking that he should still be on time. Those people couldn't possibly start the morning court at the earliest possible time... A group of old men couldn't take it.

Just as he was thinking, he slowly fell asleep again.

......

The morning bell had already rung.

Emperor Jing felt particularly refreshed today.

Yesterday, after listening to Guo Tianyang's report that Xiao Tao had searched for him in the capital all day, Emperor Jing laughed uncontrollably.

Somewhat unusually interested, he was now slightly excited and anticipating Fang Zheng Yi's expression after seeing him.

The officials were in their positions, and Emperor Jing scanned the court and didn't see Fang Zheng Yi!

He suddenly frowned and said: "Where is Fang Zheng Yi!? The imperial decree has been issued for three days, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Li Yansong looked around and, finding no new faces, said: "Your Majesty, perhaps he was delayed on the road due to the long journey."

Emperor Jing said with a displeased expression: "Taoyuan County is at most two days' journey back and forth. Someone! Bring Fang Zheng Yi......"

Before he could finish speaking, a person holding up his pants ran into the hall in a hurry with his head down!

Unexpectedly, he stepped on his pants, and the whole person slid and knelt to the center of the hall.

In an instant, the hall fell silent, and a pin could be heard dropping.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Zheng Yi.

Fang Zheng Yi lowered his head, cold sweat slowly flowing down his forehead.

Damn coachman, he sent himself to the Meridian Gate but didn't wake him up!

When he woke up, the Meridian Gate was already empty!

The guards at the gate stopped him from entering, but fortunately, he brought the imperial decree and was allowed to pass all the way!

On the way, the clothes Bai Yi put on him kept falling down.

In the end, he had no choice but to run around the palace holding up his pants, asking all the way before running to the main hall.

Fang Zheng Yi lowered his head and looked left and right. The officials on both sides were wearing court robes and silently watching him.

That's right.... It seemed that he was attending court here.... Damn Ministry of Rites, no one came to meet him!

How could he know the rules of the palace, how would he know where to go to attend court!

Emperor Jing looked at this ridiculous scene, and three black lines slowly hung down from his forehead...

The anger in his heart instantly surged up. Good you, Fang Zheng Yi!

In front of the officials, I swore that you were a talent, but as soon as you arrived in the palace, you embarrassed me so much!

Guo Tianyang and Li Yuanzhao both clenched their teeth tightly, fearing that they would laugh out loud.

For a long time, no one spoke.

Emperor Jing clenched his fists, his veins bulging, and suppressed his anger and said: "The one who came...."

"Your subject! Fang Zheng Yi pays respects to Your Majesty! Your Majesty is divinely literary and martial, accomplished in both civil and military affairs, bestowing blessings on the common people, unifying the world, truly the blessing of my Great Jing, the blessing of the people! Long live my Emperor, long live, long long live!"

"Now that I, your subject, have seen the heavenly might, I am awed by the dragon's aura, but my heart is filled with joy. I was disrespectful in front of the palace, and I hope Your Majesty will punish me! Your sinful subject is willing to accept it gladly!!"
