The two were shocked at the same time by the yelling, and they couldn't tell how they felt for a moment.

Helian Chi had never liked a woman, so he could not understand Helian Mo's sincere complaints.

The prince did love Aria, but he never thought of being with her for the rest of his life. Apart from being touched for a moment, he had no other thoughts about Helian Mo's naivety.

"I think Miss Ning Liu has a very close relationship with you." The prince smiled lightly and did not discourage Helian Mo's idea. "Tomorrow I will ask the women in the mansion what they like and let Zhou Shan give you an answer."

"Okay." Helian Mo looked at Helian Chi eagerly, "Fourth brother?"

Helian Chi poured a glass of wine coldly: "I can't help you."

He rarely set foot in the backyard and had no feelings for those women. He couldn't ask them what they liked.

"Okay." Helian Mo spread his hands. "Let's go to Shangyang Tower some other day. I heard that in early February, Shangyang Tower lit up the lanterns, and the guests started a bet on which girl the lanterns were lit for. I'm away from home all year round, and I've never seen it happen. I also asked, and recently the owner of Shangyang Tower is unhappy, and he won't light up the lanterns again no matter how much money is offered."

"It's easy to see her. Just give Zhaoyang some of her favorite cakes or some of her favorite gadgets, and you will see her." The prince said half-jokingly.

"Zhaoyang?" Helian Mo reacted for a moment and hissed, "Who is so crazy as to like a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet?"

Prince & Helian Chi: "..."

Does it have to be love? "How horrible!" Helian Mo angrily slammed the table, "If you dare to covet the princess, you must be cut into pieces!"

The two stared at him in silence.

"What, what happened?" Helian Mo felt guilty after being stared at. "Is there a problem? If a prodigal son dares to covet the princess, shouldn't he be taught a lesson?"

"Nothing." The prince shook his head slightly and explained for Helian Mo, "The owner of Shangyang Tower is acquainted with the national teacher and has a good relationship with Zhaoyang."

"Is that so..." Helian Mo's eagle eyes lit up, "If I take Zhaoyang to Shangyang Tower, maybe we can see lanterns all over the building?"

"Maybe."

The three of them drank and chatted until late at night. The crown prince and the third prince left in a carriage. Helian Chi was a little drunk and was supported by Zhuo Liu and sent to the main courtyard.

He met a woman on the way and rushed into Helian Chi's arms in a panic.

Zhuo Liu frowned, tore the woman out of Helian Chi's arms, and scolded: "How can you be so reckless!"

The woman sobbed softly, stretching her slender and delicate neck, looking at Helian Chi pitifully, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it."

Zhuo Liu had a complicated expression. The maid in front of him was indeed beautiful and graceful, but her seduction skills were too clumsy. His master looked down on her.

When Zhuo Liu was about to shout him off again, Helian Chimi snorted softly and pulled the woman into his arms. Zhuo Liu silently shut his mouth.

The next second, there was a "click" sound.

The woman fell limply to the ground.

Zhuo Liu reacted quickly and drew his knife, aiming it at the unconscious woman lying on the ground.

"Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay." The confusion in Helian Chi's eyes faded away, and he looked at the woman on the ground coldly, "Throw her to the dungeon. If you can't interrogate the person behind it, chop her up and use her to water the flowers. Since spring, more and more people have sent fertilizer to this palace."

Zhuo Liu responded and carried the person out of the main courtyard.

Helian Chi stood under the eaves, dusted off the sweet rouge scent all over his body, strode into the house, took off his coat and threw it on the ground.

The spring night passes by in a blink of an eye, and the morning comes.

In the early morning, new buds appeared on the branches, some dew was sprinkled on the Fengyang Pavilion to clean the dust, and the palace servants were running around busily, making the spring seem full of vitality.

Helian Yu was sleepy, and Xingchun and Cidong helped him get dressed. "What time is it now? Is it the third watch?"

"Your Highness, it's already noon."

"At 7 pm..." Helian Yu was still dazed, "Sleep a little longer."

"Your Highness, Lord Chang Zuo is waiting for you outside."

Helian Yu became a little more alert, yawned, let Xingchun wipe her face, and ran out without eating.

Several people hurriedly followed, only to see that Helian Yu had already climbed into Chang Zuo's arms.

"Where are we going today?"

Helian Yu was depressed, "Can't we go out and play?"

"The young master didn't say, so it should be possible."

"That's good!"

Everyone talked a little and decided to go strolling along the long street in the afternoon.

When she arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion, Helian Yu realized that she had thought too simply.

"What are the Six Arts?"

"The Six Arts are ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics! Simple!" Helian Yu answered quickly, fiddling with two herbs in his hand. "Master, you are not going to teach me the Six Arts, are you?"

“Yes and no.”

Helian Yu: "..."

"From now on, you will have three more lessons in archery and martial arts, one lesson a day, and the rest of the time you can spend reading and practicing whip skills."

"Master, have you ever thought that I would die of exhaustion?" Helian Yu smiled but his face was not smiling, full of resentment, "I really don't want to take the top exam!"

Xie Rangchen repaired the ancient strings in his hand without raising his head: "It will be used eventually. Shooting can deal with assassinations, defense can deal with pursuits, mathematics can detect deception, and books--"

"Master, I understand! I understand everything!" Helian Yu interrupted his incantation and said, "Is it not possible for me to learn everything?"

Xie Rangchen repaired the strings of the zither, stood up to wash his hands, and Helian Yu followed him.

"Anything else?"

"Yes!" Helian Yu grabbed his black robe and said in a coquettish voice, "I recently found a great book in the study and want to borrow it."

Xie Rangchen glanced at her and said, "Impossible."

"Ah! Why not lend it to me? Master~ Isn't it good that I love reading? Master~"

Xie Rangchen's eyes were clear and sharp: "You don't know how to find a book to read in the study."

I am not a person who likes reading and studying, so it is nonsense for me to take the initiative to find books to read.

Helian Yu: "..."

Expose her again!

Helian Yu bumped his little head against Xie Rangchen's waist and said pitifully, "I came across this book by chance, it's called 'Top Army Training Manual', Master~ it looks very useful~"

Xie Rangchen turned sideways and held down her shaking head to stop her from bumping against it: "You want to send her to the army?"

"No." Helian Yu shook his head. "I want to send him to Zhaoyang County, and then build a military academy to provide the court with talented generals."

Xie Rangchen knelt down and looked at her level, his deep and quiet eyes were filled with doubt, and deeper, it was an icy pond that was hard to see: "If what you do is contrary to what you want, what will you do?"

Helian Yu frowned: "Why would you go against the grain?"

"My heart is not right."

"Since we've done it, let's move on." Helian Yu put his arm around Xie Rangchen's neck, his black eyes showing a rare chill, and said in a chilly voice, "Master, your intention in interfering in Daxia is not right."

Xie Rangchen lowered his eyes: "So, I was punished."

Helian Yu stepped back and stared at Xie Rangchen: "Master, why would you rather be punished than come down?"

Xie Rangchen still had his eyelashes drooped, the warm sunlight sprinkled on his face, his white jade skin seemed fragile: "You should practice archery, let's go."

Xie Rangchen did not answer, and Helian Yu became more and more aggressive and chased after him.

"Master, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Xie Rangchen stopped and did not look back. His handsome figure revealed a sense of alienation and coldness.

"You don't need to know."
