The Love Imagination System

Section 50: Self-Punishment

It's weird but real. Supposedly, it was Qingyi who was punished by Baili Qingchen for her actions. However, something different happened after they all arrived at King Changle's mansion. The one who should be punished was not Qingyi, but Baili Qingchen herself.

In the main hall of King Changle's mansion, Qingyi had him kneel while he sat on a chair. It was of course strongly opposed by Baili Qingchen and Xiao Junjie. They say King Changle never kneeled to anyone, except to previous emperors. Even in this dynasty alone, he was allowed to stand whenever welcoming Emperor Baili.

So, it is more impossible to kneel to a woman.

The atmosphere inside the hall was not unlike that of the court. Qingyi, the Princess Empress Changle was preparing to scold her husband, the venerable King Changle. It was the aftermath of the incident in the center of the city earlier. He thought, he needed to ask clearly why the two men from the mansion even kept quiet and watched like an exciting show.

Well, even though he doesn't need help, he feels silly. Qingyi felt that Baili Qingchen and Xiao Junjie thought of themselves as clowns. To vent his frustration, he did this. In the room, Luo Niang was also still there and was forced to be held there on the orders of Baili Qingchen.

“So, tell me, are you guys satisfied watching my show?” ask Qingyi. The insinuation is very open. Xiao Junjie took a step forward, taking a breath for a moment before replying to the annoying woman's words.

“You made His Eminence Changle like this, what an immoral thing!” reply Xiao Junjie.

Instead of getting angry, Qingyi laughed out loud.

“Yo, a Little Prince talked about morals with me?”

His question of success left Xiao Junjie silent. He knew he wouldn't win if he talked about morals with this woman. After all, they are not the same person. Men and women had some differences, which Xiao Junjie could not possibly deny. At least his tongue slipped, so Qingyi would reply with more unpleasant words.

“Know what you about morals? Shut up if you don't know!” exclaim Qingyi. Luo Niang approached Xiao Junjie, then whispered, “Let me tell you two principles that might save your life.”

“What principles?” xiao Junjie asked slowly.

“First, the woman is always right. Second, if the woman is wrong, then you should go back to the first thing.”

Xiao Junjie let out his breath violently. He looked away, avoiding Luo Niang's stern gaze. Baili Qingchen was still standing face to face with Qingyi, it did not look at all that the man was angry. Slowly, he sat down on the other seat, sipping a cup of cold tea that was quite sweet.

“We are equally guilty,” said Baili Qingchen.

“No. You're guilty,” Qingyi refused. “I punish the impostor, while you come like a hero of misfortune. Obviously here you are guilty.”

“Can't you fight it? Your abilities are more than enough to conquer them,” said Baili Qingchen.

That debate will not meet the end. The afternoon has gone to the afternoon. Qingyi and Baili Qingchen were both unwilling to budge. To this day, no one wants to plead guilty. If both of them were still stubborn like this, not even the night would be finished. Mansion work can be delayed.

At a few minutes later, Luo Niang advanced forward. Staying in the mansion and waiting for his cousin to fight was just a waste of time. He needed time to return to the palace and accompany his aunt back. Foolish with the situation back then, he only needed to mediate between the two of them.

“What if you both punish yourself?”

Suddenly Luo Niang got the gazes of the three people. It doesn't make sense, but it's worth trying. After all Qingyi was unlikely to budge, Baili Qingchen was even more unlikely. In fact, the subject matter is so simple. Oh, imperial noble couples do like to complicate matters.

“A-Chen, you're guilty of letting your wife get bullied into fighting with a bunch of guys while you're just watching. Qingyi, you are also guilty of always being carried away by emotions. And you, Xiao Junjie, you are also guilty of your attitude just like A-Chen. So, you're all guilty.”

Qingyi whizzed. “A-Luo, you're guilty too. If you don't take me out of the mansion, it won't happen.”

“Alright, we're all guilty, okay? I'll lock myself in the palace for a week. Punishment for you, you decide for yourself, agree?”

Maybe too, they thought. Finally, on that sunny afternoon, everyone was finally able to exit the main hall. Baili Qingchen punished herself by awarding Qingyi four jewelry chests. Qingyi punished herself by donating all of Baili Qingchen's compensation to the social parlour. Meanwhile, Xiao Junjie punished himself by remaining silent in the northern courtyard and copying the silk.

The girl's facial complexion has not improved even though everyone has received her punishment. How not, he had just received such a huge compensation, but in an instant everything instantly disappeared. Qingyi had not even had time to touch the jewelry crates, before the head of the caretaker brought her over to donate.

It sucks! That much treasure is worth millions of taels of silver!

“Master, you still have a lot of wealth in dimensional space. So, what are you worried about?” ask Yinghao.

“Women never feel enough. What do you think if I sell all the herbs in the dimensional space to the medicine seller? Those materials were worth hundreds of taels of silver every one gram. I might be the richest person in Bingyue's.”

“Do not expect. The system will revoke all facilities if you abuse it!”

Qingyi clucked. He stood staring at the sky that was starting to spout a red-yellow color, as a reflection of the sun that was about to set. Aih, actually the business is not finished just like that. Qingyi, from the very beginning had placed a suspicion on the hairpin seller. He saw him not as an ordinary seller, but.More like a swordsman!

How could a hairpin seller have such a stocky body and also a partner who is good at fighting? Later, his careful observation had informed him that the hairpin salesman was not an ordinary resident. It was also impossible for him to get such expensive jewelry from the southern region if he had no connections.

It seemed, it was not only Qingyi who had such thoughts. As he was engrossed in daydreaming, Baili Qingchen entered his residence courtyard in an orderly manner. The goal is definitely to talk about the problem.

If he did not harbor suspicion, there was no way he would have Cui Kong arrest them directly. Cui Kong was the personal bodyguard and commander of King Changle's army. When he was trusted to catch people, then that person must have been very troubled.

“You don't just want to teach the con man a lesson, do you?” ask Baili Qingchen. As if it was commonplace with his sudden presence, Qingyi reacted normally. There was no surprise at all, unlike in the early days of their marriage. He's nodding.

“Didn't you also have Kong interrogate them? Then, what results have you got?”

Baili Qingchen was not yet willing to answer. His suspicions from the very beginning had been planted once he saw the seller. His body posture and facial construction were unusual, unlike the original Bingyue. Then, he secretly felt the same wave of suspicion connect with Qingyi, then observed until the girl resolved herself.

So, people may assume they both silence each other. In fact, they have cooperated indirectly. Qingyi taught a lesson by exposing falsehoods in the presence of many, so that those who are deceived know that they have been lied to. Meanwhile, Baili Qingchen caught them to be investigated for counterfeiting items and several other matters.

“They faked their identity, didn't they?” ask Qingyi. Baili Qingchen was quite surprised at the guess, yet she still nodded.

“False gold hairpin from south. Hah, there are only two possibilities.”

“What are you?” Baili Qingchen was curious. He was ready to be Qingyi's guess listener.

“One, the power in the south weakened and they fled and faked the goods.”

“The second?”

“There are people in government who deliberately smuggle them.”

From what Qingyi recalled in the manuscript, it was said that there was a region in the south that mined gold and silver and shaped it into jewelry. The manuscript mentions that Emperor Baili had sent envoys to the south to cooperate in the trade of gold and silver, but came home with disappointment because the conditions put forward by the south were very burdensome Bingyue, and the discourse of cooperation is only a discussion that is buried and never discussed until the story is finished.

The power play that was happening on this land did not seem so simple, Qingyi thought. What is written in the manuscript and the original incident is not exactly the same. In addition to changes in grooves, it may also be parts of forgotten detail. In that case, this will be a more strange but interesting adventure.

“I will investigate,” said Baili Qingchen.

The man took something out of his robe. It was a rectangle of wood carved with highly skilled hands. He thrust it at Qingyi, and with a hint of reluctance the girl accepted it. “What is this?” tanyakanya.

“Original golden hairpin,” Baili Qingchen replied. Qingyi opened it, and her eyes instantly sparkled brightly.
