96. Chapter 96 Enke Begins



Queen Mother Chu didn't care about Helian Yu's little breakdown, and even found it a little amusing.

It's lonely at the top, especially in the royal family.

Queen Mother Chu looked at Helian Yu and thought of how cautious she was when she was a concubine, and how lonely she was as a queen mother. Now, except for a few maids, she had no relatives around her. Even if she lived in the Chu family, there was no family affection at all.

The children of the Chu family feared her, respected her, and kept their distance from her. Even if they dared to stand out, none of them could do it as naturally as the little girl in front of them.

However, no matter how natural and interesting he is, he is born into a royal family and is full of calculations. How is he different from those people?

"In two days I will rush to Mount Wutai and then return to Beijing on another day. I will probably be back a few days earlier than you." said the Queen Mother Chu.

Helian Yu didn't understand what she meant by this, but in order to conform to her "mature" personality, she nodded deeply: "Yeah."

Queen Mother Chu glanced at her and said, "If you only come here for the Imperial Examination, then just focus on it. If you dig deeper into other things, you will find a bunch of old and filthy things."

"The Queen Mother is talking about Second Brother's biological mother, Lady Tao?" Helian Yu leaned against the eaves pillar, supported himself, and yawned. "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. She is causing trouble for the people. If we don't stop her, will we be helping the tyrant to do evil?"

"It seems you know everything."

Queen Mother Chu stared at Helian Yu with ambiguous eyes, as if she wanted to see through her.

"Of course I can see it clearly, and I'm not pretending to be confused." Helian Yu spread his hands, his eyes were hazy, and he yawned again, "Are you going to praise me for being unfathomable in the next sentence?"

Queen Mother Chu clenched her fist, and the bulging blue veins on her forehead could be vaguely seen: "He is very scheming."

Queen Mother Chu exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Luwu, send Zhaoyang back to the imperial palace."

"Don't you have anything else to ask?" Helian Yu asked, "If you don't have anything else to say, I still have something to say."

Queen Mother Chu looked at her and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"You kidnapped me for no reason, disturbed my sweet dreams, frightened me, and made me think that I would die soon. You must compensate me with 10,000 taels of silver."

Queen Mother Chu smiled and said, "Do you know how much ten thousand taels is? That's your monthly salary for two years."

"Are you very poor?" Helian Yu tried to open his tired eyes, aggrieved, "But Master always gives me several thousand taels of silver... Fourth brother and the prince brother also give..."

Queen Mother Chu felt a headache after hearing this: "I'll send you Luwu tomorrow. Is that enough?"

"Well, how much is too much, how much is enough, you say enough -"

"Lu Wu, send her away immediately." Queen Mother Chu couldn't stand it any longer. "She's so noisy!"

Lu Wu responded, bowed, then carried Helian Yu back home.

After Lu Wu left, a figure walked out of the shadows.

"The Queen Mother allowed the princess to act as she wished? If the past events were brought up, the Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine would be in vain for their future."

"Can you stop the Imperial Master, or can you stop Xiao Si?" Queen Mother Chu closed her eyes tiredly. "Besides, don't you think this annoying girl is really interesting?"

The other party remained silent for a long time.

The night became increasingly silent, ripples began to appear on the horizon, the mist at a certain point dissipated, a faint white light exploded into golden spots, and dawn was about to break.

Helian Yu woke up again at noon.

Helian Yu was half asleep when he was suddenly shaken a few times. He kicked his legs and mumbled incoherently, "Who is it?"

"Thank you Rangchen."

"Ah... Master... Get out of here, roll a few more times." Helian Yu hugged the quilt and smacked his lips, "Well... Hurry up, hehe."

Xie Rangchen: “…”

Yingyue and Caiyun bowed their heads and stepped forward courageously: "Master, please forgive me..."

Xie Rangchen raised his hand to stop the two of them: "Dress her."

Seeing that he had no intention of blaming her, the two men hurried forward, being extremely gentle in every move, for fear of disturbing her sleep.

They knew what happened last night and were instructed not to stop it. The two of them stayed up most of the night until Helian Yu was sent back, and then they went to the cubicle to take a nap.

Yingyue was holding Helian Yu's clothes from yesterday and was about to go out, but she paused and hurriedly thanked Rangchen, "Master Imperial Master, there is blood on His Highness's clothes, maybe he is injured!"

Xie Rangchen lowered his eyes and said, "It's stained with the blood of an animal, just throw it away."

Helian Yu opened his eyes again and was awakened by the noisy noise.

At that time, she was nestling in Yingyue's arms, wearing a lotus pink satin coat.

“So noisy…”

Helian Yu muttered something, slowly opened his eyelids, and looked into Yingyue's watery eyes.

"Wow~ Fairy~"

Yingyue blushed, feeling shy but sweet in her heart: "Your Highness, did you sleep well?"

Helian Yu nodded and looked towards the source of the noise, but was blocked by a red silk curtain.

"What's going on outside?"

"Where is this place?"

Helian Yu then realized that she seemed to be in a small house with simple structure and luxurious materials.

"Your Highness, outside is the Imperial Examination Hall, and people are lining up to be verified."

"What am I doing here?" Helian Yu hugged Yingyue's neck, "Are there any cakes?"

"Your Highness has just had his meal. The Imperial Master instructed that you are not allowed to eat pastries before noon." Yingyue looked apologetic.

"When did I eat?" Helian Yu said angrily, "Master punished me and lied to me?"

"Your Highness, you ate while you were sleeping." Ci Dong brought a bowl of bird's nest. "You ate while you were sleeping. This servant fed you."

Helian Yu looked at Yingyue, who nodded and praised him.

"This is the first time I've seen someone who can sleep while eating. Your Highness is amazing!"

Helian Yu: "..."

She would rather not be so awesome!

"Why am I here?" Helian Yu quickly pulled the two back to their thoughts.

"It's the order of the Imperial Master. We servants don't know." Yingyue explained in confusion.

Helian Yu simply went outside, and Yingyue and Caiyun followed closely.

There was a big gate at the Enke examination center. There was a long queue inside and outside the gate. They were all candidates taking the Enke examination. One could tell their family background by looking at their clothes.

Helian Yu was walking around the examination room, and before he entered, he heard someone pulling outside the door.

"I want to take the exam! If she can get in, why can't I?"

Helian Yu turned around and saw two soldiers stopping a little girl who was half a person's height. She walked over.

"What's going on?" Yingyue looked at the soldiers.

Although the officers and soldiers did not know Helian Yu, they had seen Yingyue Caiyun. "Reporting to the princess, this little girl wants to take the same special examination as the candidates. I am chasing her out to avoid disturbing the order of the examination room."

"No way!" The little girl looked clever and eloquent, staring at Helian Yu with bright eyes, "You are a princess? Can you let me take the special examination? I can guarantee that I have read a lot of books and I will definitely pass it! When I pass the exam in the future, I will definitely repay you!"

"Let her in." Helian Yu ordered the soldiers, and then looked at the delighted little girl, "I can't make the final decision, but I can take you to see the Imperial Master, the Fourth Prince, and Marquis Lu. If three of the four agree, you will be allowed to attend. Do you want to go with me?"

"Of course I do!"

Helian Yu took the little girl to look for the other people in the examination room.

But before it was over, something unexpected happened.

"Woman?! You are not Shangguan Yun?" the man who was searching her shouted in a rough voice.

Helian Yu paused.

Shangguan Yun? Is it the Shangguan Yun she is looking for? Or another "Yun"? (End of this chapter)
