Xie Rangchen glanced at Helian Yu who was standing behind him, his voice was as plain as water, yet exceptionally clear.

"In the city of Rajagriha in Namya, there was a kind-hearted Fu Xiang who provided relief to the victims of disasters, fed monks and preached the gospel. His son Luobu inherited his father's legacy. However, his wife Liu broke her vow and started eating meat, deceiving the world. After her death, she suffered the pain of reincarnation in hell.

Luobu went to the West to seek Buddha to save his mother, and Buddha gave him the name Mahamaudgalyayana. After that, Luobu went to hell, from the first hall to the tenth hall, but his mother was already a dog in the human world.

During the Zhongyuan Festival, the Buddha ordered Maudgalyayana to hold the Ullambana Festival to pray for his mother's rebirth.

Later, the Jade Emperor named Fu Xiang as the Master of Persuasion, Liu as the Lady of Persuasion, and Luo Bu as the Great Bodhisattva of Benevolence and Filial Piety.

"The Imperial Master is indeed knowledgeable." Helian Su picked up the teacup and said thoughtfully, "The Imperial Master has taught Xiao Yu'er very well."

Xie Rangchen looked at Helian Su and lowered his eyes: "She shouldn't be the sacrifice."

"How does the Imperial Master know that she won't benefit?" Helian Su said in a mixture of joking and formality, "How can retreating to advance not be a winning move?"

Xie Rangchen put his fingertips on the sandalwood table, and curled the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

The play "Mulian Saves His Mother" was being sung on the stage until the tenth hall. Under the stage, people were whispering about something.

"Weren't we singing 'Tian Xiang Qing Jie'? How come no one reminded us when we sang it wrong? His Majesty didn't even blame us."

"Maybe it's intentional, but her singing skills are pretty good, and her looks are pretty, so just watch her. His Majesty will definitely say something in the end."

"My legs are shaking, and I feel like something big is going to happen..."

"What could be the big deal? Don't scare yourself."

"You think the relationship between His Majesty and the Queen Mother..."

"Hiss... This troupe is extremely rebellious!"

The actors and actresses on the stage coordinated skillfully, sang with first-rate singing skills, and had graceful and pretty figures. They truly sang out Mulian's grief and his eagerness to save his mother.

At the end, the Jade Emperor conferred the title.

"There must be a Luo Bo in this world who should save his mother!"

"The most unruly person in the world is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who is so carefree and uninhibited, and whose biological mother is unknown—"

Helian Su and Xie Rangchen met each other's eyes, and their faces turned cold at the same time, preparing to put on a show.

Helian Sheng's face changed instantly, his fingertips holding the teacup turned pale, and underneath his calm demeanor was a strong rage.

The imperial concubine was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost knocked over the teacup in front of her. Dai Yan hurriedly supported her and pinched her palms hard to help her calm down.

Just as everyone was about to sigh, Helian Yu took a deep breath and jumped off the chair.

"I sang it wrong, I sang it wrong!"

The young and loud voice attracted everyone's attention.

The half-human-tall little girl was dressed in an intricate crimson palace dress, with gold threads floating and sparkling in the light. Her shiny black hair was pinned with exquisite gold and jade. She looked young, noble, and smart.

Helian Yu put his hands on his hips and pointed at the actors on the stage: "Didn't I tell you that it was Helian Sheng? Although Sheng has the same pronunciation as 'sheng', it is not Sheng! You are wrong, do you know? I asked you to make fun of the prince, not the King of Chu!"

Everyone on the stage was confused and wanted to explain, but they found that they could only open their mouths and no sound came out. In the end, they were forced to kneel on the stage by the guards.

Helian Su glanced at Xie Rangchen: "The Imperial Master has great skills."

"Um."

Xie Rangchen had no intention of being humble with him. The anger in his eyes was like a surging ocean wave. He tried hard to pull up a ray of morning sun to stabilize the darkness and strangeness in his eyes.

Helian Sheng was stunned. He clenched his fists and tried to calm himself, but his red eyes betrayed his turbulent heart.

The prince's complicated gaze fell on Helian Yu, and he was jealous for a moment, but he couldn't help but imagine, if he was in trouble today, she...

The prince didn't dare to think too much, but he couldn't stop thinking too much and wanted to ask for more.

Helian Yu still had his hands on his waist, pointing at the actors on the stage and teaching them a lesson: "Can you ask me for confirmation before you act next time? Second brother is so unlucky——"

"Zhaoyang, you are so insolent!" Helian Su saw that she had almost finished scolding him, and called her over with a dark face, "Come here!"

Helian Yu curled his lips, took small steps, and moved over listlessly: "Father..."

Helian Su slammed the table, his narrow and long phoenix eyes full of majesty: "What day is today? You should know the limit when teasing your brother!"

"Father, Zhaoyang knows he was wrong..." Helian Yu angrily stretched out his hand and pointed at the prince, "It's all my fault, my brother. He gave Zhaoyang many collections of books and asked Master to force Zhaoyang to learn--"

The prince couldn't help but admire her, saying that this was indeed a good excuse, as she was notoriously unwilling to study.

Everyone sighed, finally understanding why Princess Zhaoyang changed seats with the King of Chu. It turned out that she didn't want to sit at the same table with the prince! She wanted to play a trick on the prince, but she got the name wrong, which led to this injustice! However, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and at the palace banquet, Princess Zhaoyang is too rude! This kind of rules will probably cause big trouble in the future!

Helian Yu made a gesture, and the prince could only stand up and walk over, with a modest and elegant demeanor: "Father, Zhaoyang is young, and this matter is indeed related to me. It is my incomplete thinking that caused my second brother to suffer this stigma."

Helian Sheng hurriedly stood over, lowered his head to make up the crowd, and did not dare to speak. He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would lose control of his emotions.

Helian Su's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Zhaoyang, I am too indulgent to you! From tomorrow on, you will go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to reflect on yourself and be confined to your room for a month. During this month, no one is allowed to visit her! As for the collection of books sent by the crown prince, you will be punished to copy them ten times. If you dare to tease your brother again in the future, I will beat you with a stick."

Helian Yu lowered his head and rolled his eyes, his voice tinged with tears: "Zhaoyang doesn't dare anymore."

Helian Su's heart softened, and he was about to open his mouth to talk about this matter, when he suddenly received several glares.

There seem to be Xie Rangchen's, Helian Chi's, and the Imperial Concubine's...

Helian Su: "..."

Bold!

Bold!

How outrageous! Helian Su simply slammed the table, stood up, and left with a sullen face.

Chang Hai hurried to catch up, and the young eunuchs and guards also hurried to follow. When the emperor left, the courtiers and concubines knelt down to pay their respects and see him off.

"Farewell, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty—"

Only Xie Rangchen was sitting on the chair, and Helian Yu was standing in front of the table.

The two looked at each other.

Helian Yu looked at Xie Rangchen guiltily and smiled at him, which served as a hidden plea for mercy.

Because Princess Zhaoyang caused trouble, the emperor left in a hurry. The palace banquet was handled by the Imperial Concubine, the Crown Prince and others, and ended before nightfall.

After leaving the palace, each courtier and his family got on the carriage before they dared to speak.

"Princess Zhaoyang is in big trouble this time."

The eldest daughter of Jingzhao Yin Liu's family laughed, "Mother, this time Princess Zhaoyang not only offended the King of Chu, but also the King of Chu's biological mother, the Imperial Noble Consort. The Imperial Noble Consort is equal to the Vice Queen, how can she be easily let off? Not only that, she even dared to openly say that she wanted to play a trick on the Crown Prince. If this kind of dirty water is thrown on the Crown Prince, can the Crown Prince let her go? Even if they are the children of the former Queen, I guess the Crown Prince will feel resentful."

Madam Liu had a calm expression, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes: "Be careful with your words. Your half-brother Liu Bo'an has finally found a good time. He followed Princess Zhaoyang, and now he is under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu. From now on, the King of Chu will not let him go."
