The affairs in the palace are turbulent and complicated, while the West Street in the capital is prosperous and bustling.
Helian Yu fiddled with the jade hairpin, raised it towards Lu Jing, and stared at him with a pair of innocent eyes: "What do you think, Lord Lu?"
As Lu Jing took the silver, he praised: "Young master, you have a very good taste. The carving is exquisite and the appearance is fresh."
Chang Zuo and Chang An followed behind the two men, with their hands, arms and shoulders full of small gadgets.
Helian Yu smiled and stuffed the hairpin into the package on Chang Zuo's body, then turned around and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu."
"My young master, you're welcome." Lu Jing pointed to the restaurant in front, "My young master, you've been walking around for the whole morning, how about going over and sitting for a while?"
"OK!"
Chang Zuo and Chang An breathed a sigh of relief, and with their belongings hanging all over their bodies, they followed the two men into the restaurant and chose a private room to sit down.
Chang Zuo took off a bunch of things from his body and poked Helian Yu with his scabbard, "When are you going to buy a carriage?"
Helian Yu winked at him, "What carriage do you want to buy? Didn't Lord Lu say he would give one to the Imperial Master's Mansion? He said he sympathized with the Imperial Master's hard work, and no one could stop him. Brother Chang Zuo, you can't refuse Lord Lu's kindness."
Lu Hou: “…”
Did he say he would send a carriage? If Princess Zhaoyang chose the carriage, he would pay for it, and it would not matter how much it cost; if he sent it to the Imperial Master's residence, then he would have to prepare it carefully, comply with the regulations, and satisfy the preferences of both the Imperial Master and Princess Zhaoyang.
One likes simplicity, the other likes luxury.
Isn't this embarrassing? Lu Jing forced a smile, "Yes, I did say that, but it will take time to prepare——"
"Will it take a long time?" Helian Yu sighed in disappointment, "What if Master goes out? What a pity..."
Lu Jing: “…”
Can't you find a good excuse to lie? How can the Imperial Master be someone who likes to go out? "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will urge the craftsmen to deliver the new carriage to the Imperial Master's residence within three days."
"Lord Lu is thoughtful." Helian Yu flipped through a bag of preserved fruits and handed it to Lu Jing, "It's just a small token of my respect."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Lu Jing took the preserved fruits and said: It is really disrespectful. He paid for the preserved fruits himself!
After having lunch at the restaurant, Lu Jing thanked God, sent Helian Yu and the other two to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and quickly left with an excuse.
There were a few more guards in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and they all looked like martial artists with quite good skills.
Helian Yu followed Chang Zuo into the courtyard, which was usually quiet and deserted, and now there were many maids and servants.
Chang Zuo took Chang An to Wushuang Garden, and Helian Yu went to the main courtyard alone to look for Xie Rangchen.
Helian Yu knocked on the study door, carrying a bag of chestnuts.
Xie Rangchen was sitting at the desk, holding a wolf-hair brush and writing something.
"Come here and drink the medicine."
Helian Yu: !!!
She slowly moved her feet and backed out the door.
"You didn't do the Five Animal Exercises this morning, and you got frightened on the way here. If you don't take the medicine, you'll have a fever tonight, and you'll have to drink more than just this bowl."
Helian Yu curled her lips and moved closer to Xie Rangchen. He looked like a banished immortal, but he was like a devil, forcing her to drink bitter medicine.
Looking up at the white medicine in his hand, Helian Yu didn't want to say anything.
He raised the medicine bowl, drank it in one gulp, and a piece of winter melon candy was passed to his lips.
Helian Yu held the candy in his mouth, and his wrinkled face slowly relaxed. He tugged at Xie Rangchen's black robe and said, "Master, I earned you a carriage."
It would be a waste if you don't steal the money of corrupt officials.
"Yes. There is a new housekeeper in the mansion. You can call him Shen Fu or Shen Guanjia. You get your monthly salary from him. If you are short of money, you can also withdraw it from him."
Xie Rangchen put down the wolf-hair brush, stood up and took Helian Yu out of the study.
Helian Yu's eyes sparkled, "How much moon silver is there? Master~"
"The palace regulations are 400 taels, and it is not appropriate for the mansion to exceed that, so 399 taels."
Helian Yu pouted: "Master, is this giving face to the emperor?"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
Sometimes, I really want to sew her mouth shut.
Helian Yu followed Xie Rangchen and wiped the medicine on his hands onto his black robe. "After the election is over in a few days, I will go to the south with the prince to supervise the special examination. Will you come with us? Let's go to the south of the Yangtze River to have fun~"
Helian Yu's voice was trembling with excitement.
Xie Rangchen's eyes darkened slightly, and when he looked at Helian Yu, he disappeared without a trace, "Yu'er, do you have any other ideas besides playing?"
Helian Yu nodded and tugged at Xie Rangchen's robe. "The trend of cheating in the imperial examination is prevalent. The prince will not ignore it, but it is not easy to control it. Master is different. Those officials don't know Master, so it is easier for them to act."
Daxia has been plagued by problems for a long time, and we must act vigorously and vigorously to have any hope of saving it.
Helian Yu bumped his little head towards Xie Rangchen and hummed twice.
Alas, in order to help her master overcome the tribulation, she couldn't enjoy her life properly. How miserable~
Xie Rangchen protected her little head and said, "Be gentle, don't knock yourself unconscious."
“Oh.”
Helian Yu hummed twice again, and returned to Wushuang Garden accompanied by Xie Rangchen.
Wushuang Garden is full of blooming flowers and vitality. The paths are paved with flowers and stones, which is very innovative.
Just as Helian Yu was about to go back to his room for a nap, Xie Rangchen grabbed him by the collar.
"hold head high?"
"Does Yu'er like the flowers in the garden?"
"like."
"Then perform the Five Animal Exercises ten times facing these flowers."
“…”
Chang Zuo snorted while holding the sword. He had guessed it long ago.
Chang An leaned against the pillar in the corridor, stood on the left side of Chang, and whispered: "It is a bit difficult for Your Highness."
"Five times at most." Chang Zuo had a blank expression on his face. He took out the gray cloth he carried with him, squatted in the corridor, and wiped the sword carefully.
Chang An thought that Chang Zuo said five times because the Imperial Master felt sorry for his prince and called a stop after the fifth time. As a result... his prince only did two movements and then one movement. After ten times, he didn't even do it five times properly.
This little cleverness...
"Master, we're done." Helian Yu pulled Xie Rangchen's robe aggrievedly and panted twice in a pretentious manner, "Huff, huh, I'm so tired."
Xie Rangchen glanced at her and stood up. "Go to bed early and practice calligraphy in the afternoon. I will take you back to the palace at dusk."
Xie Rangchen walked out of the yard, Helian Yu curled his lips, turned around and went back to the house.
The blue-covered diary beside the pillow emitted golden light and flashed a few times.
[Congratulations to the host for remembering the existence of this system. For this reason, the system has specially prepared a return gift package, please check it. ]
Helian Yu: "..."
A weird system.
I like it a little bit.
Helian Yu received the return reward.
[Returning gift package: a set of toilet paper production drawings, 10,000 sheets of top-grade rice paper. System blessing: Host, keep practicing calligraphy. ]
Helian Yu fell silent as he looked at the pile of top-quality rice paper that suddenly appeared in the room.
Practice calligraphy?
The system also requires her to practice calligraphy? Is her handwriting ugly?
Helian Yu angrily picked up the pen and wrote in the blue diary.
[First of all, my handwriting is very beautiful! It is unique! I practice calligraphy only because I want to listen to my master! It is not because my handwriting is ugly!] [Let’s review what happened recently. 1. I became a princess and my little wish of having enough food and warm clothes suddenly came true.] [2. The general election is coming. If Liu Qiuyue is not defeated, she will not have met so many people in the capital and rebelled in the end, right? But Liu Qiuyue is young and beautiful. Wouldn’t it be a bargain for Helian Su if she was selected... Oh, who would be willing to serve an old man who is old enough to be their father! But if she is not defeated, she will definitely promote the rebellion... It’s so difficult!] [3. Jiangnan held an imperial examination, and she got it] Helian Yu wrote the word "get", yawned, and threw the pen aside, "Write it tonight, go to sleep."
[The system automatically plays a lullaby. The points have been updated to the background. The host can check it at any time. ]
Helian Yu went to sleep, but the others who saw the copy of the diary couldn't sleep.
Everyone was going crazy: This is weird, why did he stop writing in the middle of a diary? What's wrong with him? (End of this chapter)
