People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Tian Mi chuckled lightly, "Sir, please don't keep calling me Miss Tian Mi tonight. Just call me Mi'er in private."

Cao Ze couldn't help but smile. No wonder Tian Mi, an ordinary member of the Tian family, was able to become one of the six hall masters.

He and Tian Mi arrived at Feixue Pavilion together.

The Snow Woman was staring blankly out the window when she saw Cao Ze approaching. She was about to stand up and run over to him.

But then they saw Tian Mi chatting and laughing with Cao Ze, their relationship seemingly intimate.

She suddenly sat down again, as if all her previous speculations were about to become reality.

Seeing the dazed Yuki-onna, Cao Ze smiled and said, "Yuki-onna, what are you daydreaming about?"

Tian Mi's pinkish-purple eyebrows twitched slightly as she subtly glanced at the Snow Woman. Her aura was cool and ethereal; she was the kind of beauty that was one in a million.

However, when it comes to men, he's clearly no match for her.

The snow woman snapped out of her daze and lowered her head, saying, "It has nothing to do with you."

Cao Ze was slightly taken aback, glancing at the beautiful and charming Tian Mi beside him.

Tsk, it is indeed easy to misunderstand.

The Snow Woman is getting more and more jealous these days.

If they knew he had a wife, concubines, and children, they'd be green with envy.

You need to be careful.

Snow Woman has Ya Fei backing her up.

On the bright side, however, the snow woman is becoming more and more concerned about him.

Cao Ze and Tian Mi went to the second floor of Fei Xue Ge and happened to run into Ya Fei who was coming downstairs.

Tian Mi said charmingly, "Greetings, Your Highness, Consort Ya."

Ya Fei gently wiped a strand of hair from her face; she had no liking for this scheming woman.

"Ah."

She looked at Cao Ze and asked, "Is this to see the leader of the Farmer's Clan?"

Cao Ze nodded: "That's right, Xia Kui sent Tian Mi to invite me."

Ya Fei glanced at Tian Mi.

She was on the second floor just now, so she could see everything downstairs clearly.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet she already knew how to dress charmingly and attractively to please men.

Xue'er is really no match for her.

Should she personally teach Xue'er?

Ya Fei's dismissive and dismissive attitude made Tian Mi feel uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to endure it.

Her own status was ordinary, not comparable to that of a princess like Consort Ya.

"Go ahead, I'll go chat with Xue'er."

Consort Ya, dressed in a brocade robe and cloak, stirred up a fragrant breeze and left on her own.

Looking at Ya Fei's graceful figure and temperament, a hint of envy flashed in Tian Mi's eyes.

What she has to do deliberately, others have already mastered effortlessly. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others.

Cao Ze and Tian Mi entered a private room.

He saw Tian Guang kneeling and meditating before the desk with his eyes closed. A strange, almost imperceptible fluctuation emanated from his body, showing a tendency to blend into his surroundings.

After a little thought, one would know that Tian Guang was not far from the Grandmaster realm, and his strength should be comparable to Jing Ni's.

As expected of the leader of the Farmer's School of Chivalry, his talent is definitely not lacking.

Tian Guang, who had been looking righteous, opened his eyes, but the glint in them instantly dimmed.

He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Mr. Cao Ze, please sit down."

Cao Ze said, "Please, Chief Hero."

Tian Mi knelt down beside Cao Ze, turned to Cao Ze and smiled, "Would you like some tea, sir?"

Although he was asking a question, his hands were quick, and he had already taken down the slightly boiling purple clay teapot.

In just a few breaths, she skillfully brewed two cups of tea and placed them in front of Cao Ze and Tian Guang.

Cao Ze picked up the teacup, took a gentle sniff, sipped the hot tea, and exclaimed, "Excellent tea ceremony!"

In his opinion, Tian Mi's tea ceremony skills were better than Ya Fei's.

However, that's because Ya Fei didn't put in the effort to practice, nor was it necessary.

Tian Mi smiled playfully and said, "Sir, you know a lot about tea."

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "I don't really understand, but after drinking a lot, I've come to understand a little bit."

He drank a lot of green tea back then, and those girls were all very skilled at it.

He kept saying "I only love my brother," and he was sick of hearing it.

Her beautiful boss, who was completely inferior to him, not only made empty promises but also gave him real benefits.

Tian Mi continued to hold Cao Ze's hands and said, "Sir, you are truly talented. We can exchange ideas on tea ceremony when we have time."

Cao Ze smiled and said, "Sure, sure, let's exchange ideas more often."

He didn't take Tian Mi's words to heart at all; who knows what kind of wicked schemes were hidden in that honey pot?

As pilgrims on a pilgrimage, we certainly can't be foolish enough to wander into the Spider Cave.

Tian Guang just watched with a smile, not expecting that Tian Mi and Cao Ze had such a good relationship, and it seemed that there was such a trend.

If Tian Mi can persuade Cao Ze to come to the farm, that would be a truly invaluable achievement.

Tian Mi smiled gently, "I accidentally said too much and delayed you and the hero. I'm sorry."

Tian Guang coughed and said, "Tian Mi, why don't you... stay next to Mr. Cao Ze for now?"

He originally wanted to send Tian Mi out, but then he thought that Tian Mi and Cao Ze seemed to have some kind of relationship, so he let Tian Mi stay and entertain Cao Ze.

Tian Mi was overjoyed. It seemed that her efforts had not been in vain, otherwise Xia Kui would have let her leave.

Cao Ze calmed down.

Even though Tian Mi was practically right next to him, he remained unmoved.

"I don't know what the leader of the knights invited me here to talk about."

Tian Guang asked mysteriously, "Before we talk, may I ask if you were really assassinated by assassins sent by the Luo Wang a few months ago? And was one of the assassins named Shen Leping?"

Cao Ze's eyes narrowed slightly. "Why does the leader of the chivalrous sect ask such a question?"

Tian Guang remained silent, waiting for Cao Ze's reply.

Chapter 134 The Unspoken Rules of the Entertainment Industry

Outside the elegant rooms on the second floor, on the first floor of Feixue Pavilion.

Ya Fei slowly sat down next to Xue Nu.

Seeing the Snow Woman's sullen expression, he teased, "Are you so unhappy because you saw another woman next to Cao Ze?"

"No."

It would have been better if she hadn't spoken; once she did, the Snow Woman felt even more melancholy.

Ya Fei stopped trying to provoke Xue Nu and said, "Don't think too much about it. That girl is obviously good at socializing. Her relationship with Cao Ze is just a fling."

The Snow Woman turned to look at Ya Fei, "But they seem really close, even closer than he and I..."

"What does this prove?"

Consort Ya said slowly, "You've never lived in the royal family. That's where things are really chaotic. Intimacy is just a small matter; the relationships are incredibly complicated."

"For those nobles, having multiple wives and concubines, and sisters sharing a husband, is commonplace. Even incest between father-in-law and daughter-in-law is not unheard of."

Xue Nu was taken aback. Sister Ya Fei rarely talked to her about dirty things.

No wonder Consort Ya always stays at Feixue Pavilion instead of living in the palace bestowed by the late king.

Ya Fei sighed slightly, realizing she should let Xue Nu know more about the sordid things between men and women, otherwise she might suffer a lot of losses in the future.

As a princess, she was well aware of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

With Cao Ze's abilities, if he were to rise to a high position in the future, he wouldn't only have Xue'er as his woman.

Even if he himself is willing, Xue'er cannot just stand by and watch, as it would easily bring all sorts of criticism upon her.

In her opinion, falling in love with a man like that would be a huge disadvantage for someone like Xue'er with her personality.

"Then... Sister Yafei, what should we do about Xue'er?"

The snow woman suddenly felt lost and confused, unsure of what to do, unable to bear it, yet unwilling to give it up.

Ya Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let nature take its course."

"Let nature take its course?" The Snow Woman was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Do nothing at all?"

Ya Fei chuckled and said, "Silly girl, all you do is practice dancing and playing the flute all day long."

"Going with the flow doesn't mean doing nothing, but rather that you just need to do it and not overthink it. Act according to the times and change with the circumstances."

The Snow Woman suddenly realized, "So it means to do one's best and leave the rest to fate?"

Ya Fei said in surprise, "You really have a knack for understanding."

The Snow Woman sat with her chin propped up on her hand, looking somewhat forlorn, and said, "This is what he once told me."

Ya Fei was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xue'er to be so deeply involved, which was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Ah~"

Ya Fei sighed softly and said, "He once said he wanted to leave Handan. Are you really going to go with him?"

The Snow Maiden's beautiful eyes were filled with melancholy. "If you will not betray me, I will go with you. If you betray me..."
