"According to Xiaoyuer, what should we do?"
Eight years have passed, and Helian Su is approaching old age. Due to hard work, he has a few strands of white hair on his temples.
"Be sincere." Helian Yu curled her lips, her fair and tender face was round and smooth, generous and beautiful, and stunning in a blink of an eye, "Daxia is a vast land with abundant resources. Bring out all the local specialties, and exchange the experiences of the Liberal Arts Academy and the Martial Arts Academy with the Zhongzhou envoys, and bring them to the front of the army to teach each other how to raise soldiers. The more honest you are, the happier Zhongzhou will be."
Helian Su smiled: "You are smart, girl! It is true that the interaction between big countries should be open and not hidden."
Only by showing your strength can you gain respect.
After leaving the imperial study, Chang An followed behind.
Chang An is now twenty-four years old. His temperament has become more mature, his handsome eyebrows and eyes have lost their childishness, his upright posture is still the same, and his power has added depth to him.
"Master, the son of the Huguo Marquis family has climbed over the wall of the princess's mansion and is clamoring to marry into the princess's family. He also said that if you don't want to, he will be your concubine first."
"This year's third place winner was promoted to the fifth rank by His Majesty, divorced his wife and concubines, and sent a love letter to the princess's mansion."
"The second son of Taifu Zhao came to the princess's mansion with his zither to apply for the position of zither player."
Helian Yu was shocked: "I have only been a 15-year-old girl for a few days, they are too impatient. Besides, if I become a royal consort, I will have no official career. Are they all so stupid?"
Chang An lowered his eyes and did not explain.
They were not stupid at all, they just wanted to pick the sun! If they could marry a princess who had real power, was loved, and was not schemed against by her brothers and sisters, the glory of the family would be settled for generations.
"Chang'an, tell someone to go to the Prince of Qin's mansion and ask my third brother to transfer some Black Armor Guards to the Princess's mansion. The time limit is... one month. During this month, any man who comes within ten feet of the Princess's mansion and has ill intentions will be severely injured, and only one life can be spared."
"clear."
"I've been busy meeting with the Central Continent envoys recently. I'm going to the Imperial Master's Mansion to ask for leave from my master~"
Helian Yu still gets excited when talking about taking leave.
Over the years, she had been tortured by her 'fake master' and had memorized thousands of books. If she had one or two days without reading, she would jump to the roof.
When the princess's procession arrived at the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Helian Yu prepared himself mentally before stepping through the door.
After walking along the familiar road for nine years, I finally arrived at the main courtyard.
It is summer now, and the main courtyard is decorated in an elegant and grand manner.
"Master?"
"Master?"
Helian Yu walked around but didn't find anyone.
"Butler Shen, where is the Master?"
Shen Fu's robe was slightly wet. He pointed to the east and said, "In the Bright Moon Courtyard, the young master seems to be in a bad condition and his consciousness is a little confused."
Helian Yu was horrified, could it be that - he's back?
She hurried to Jiaoyue Courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a golden light flashed before her eyes. Seeing that it was about to cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth, she hurriedly cast a spell to conceal his breath and cover the golden light.
Helian Yu approached the door cautiously: "Master?"
It was a long, long time, so long that Helian Yu thought he was dead, before he heard a weak response.
"Um."
"Master, have you been punished again?" Helian Yu frowned, "From the sound, it seems like you are about to die."
“…”
"Master?"
Helian Yu called out a few more times tentatively, but hearing no response from him, he simply kicked the door and walked in.
A breeze blew through the hall, bringing a cool breeze.
Helian Yu's eyes flashed, and he saw... a little white fox lying on the ground.
Nine tails.
There is a phoenix mark on the forehead.
There is also a soft golden dragon scale on the back of the neck.
Although it looks strange, it looks very beautiful.
Xie Rangchen closed his eyes heavily, as if ready to be slaughtered by her.
After all, he really didn't have much strength to resist.
Helian Yu didn't want to do anything to him, after all, he was her master who raised and taught her.
She just treated him like a cat and took him to the princess's mansion.
At the street entrance of the princess's residence, the handsome young men saw Helian Yu's carriage and offered themselves to him.
Most of them recommended themselves to be concubines, zither players, and tutors. After all, no matter how much they tried, they could not compare to the status of a princess of the royal family.
Xie Rangchen had recovered some strength when he was woken up by the teenagers outside. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Moral corruption! Low moral character!"
Helian Yu stroked his fur while deliberately angering him: "Master, I am a princess, and I am also beautiful. Isn't it normal for these people to like my power and my looks? Relax, there will be more than a dozen beautiful little friends who want to see you when we get to the princess's mansion."
Xie Rangchen: “???”
A concubine?
Helian Yu didn't want to say anything more, so he ordered the guards to clear the way and enter the princess's mansion.
The scenery of the Princess's Mansion is different from that of the Imperial Master's Mansion. The gold and jade structure shows its nobleness and luxury. The carvings made of golden nanmu are hung outside the corridor, and the rockery, green pools and secluded paths are full of novelty and charm.
"Master, what kind of animal is this? It doesn't look like a cat, nor does it look like a fox. It's so strange." Caiyun looked at it in confusion.
At that time, Xie Rangchen had already hidden nine of his tails, leaving only one, but he was temporarily unable to retract the phoenix pattern on his forehead and the dragon scales behind his neck, which seemed strange.
"I don't know his name yet. I just brought him back from the Imperial Master's Mansion." Helian Yu pinched his fox ears and smiled brightly. "Prepare some minced meat soup. He should be hungry."
As he spoke, Helian Yu lowered his head and boldly reached into his belly, his voice rising, "Ah, little guy, are you hungry?"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
When she recovered in the evening, she would suffer! Not long after, Caiyun brought the minced meat soup.
Helian Yu put him on the table, propped up his arm and stroked his fluffy white fur, "Little guy, eat quickly, you will be hungry if you don't eat~"
Xie Rangchen curled up in shame and anger, wanting to bite Helian Yu to death.
Caiyun was puzzled: "Master, is it not hungry? Or is it a vegetarian?"
Helian Yu smiled, picked up the spoon and put it to his mouth: "He must be hungry. Come on, ah——"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
Bastard!
Bastard!
Bastard!
"Come and eat. After that, I'll take you to see the musician in the mansion. She's very pretty and gentle."
Helian Yu pissed him off one after another, his face almost bursting with laughter.
Caiyun didn't understand, but she asked dutifully, "Master, should Caiyun arrange for the musician to prepare now? Or should he come over in the evening?"
Xie Rangchen: “???”
Ready now?
Come over in the evening?
"Okay, go and arrange it."
Helian Yu was busy with various things during the day, and the only time he had to relax was at night, when he would either listen to the piano or watch dance. In addition, the musicians and dancers were beautiful, and it was pleasing to watch.
After Caiyun left, Helian Yu raised the spoon.
"How can I not eat? I'll be hungry. Come on, ah——"
Xie Rangchen closed his eyes tightly and refused to pay any attention to Helian Yu.
"Master, are you unhappy? If so, I'm happy. It seems that Master wants to be alone, so I'll go play with my mistress!"
Xie Rangchen suddenly opened his eyes and pressed his claws on Helian Yu's fingers: "Hungry."
