Helian Su was patient, suppressing his anger in his words, "I ask, are the Nanzhao royal family really wiped out?"

The prince lowered his eyes and kowtowed: "No."

After a long silence.

Helian Su picked up a cup of tea and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Please forgive me, Father."

The prince still kept his head on the ground, his posture of submission unchanged.

Helian Su said coldly: "In this case, the Crown Prince will confine himself to reflect on his mistakes for a month. The Fourth Brother will be in charge of the Jiangnan Enke. You can also let the Fourth Brother handle the memorials for this month."

"Your son obeys your order."

"roll!"

Helian Su smashed the teacup at the prince's side, and the tea splashed everywhere, soaking his robes.

The prince said nothing, bowed respectfully, and withdrew.

Zhou Shan, who was beside the prince, stepped forward, supported him, and said with concern: "Your Highness, the sedan chair has been prepared, please go slowly. Liu Liangdi has already settled Miss Aria, but Miss Aria is eager to commit suicide... She refuses to eat, so I can only force her to drink some soup."

Helian Sheng did not respond, but got on the sedan chair and told Zhou Shan to return home as soon as possible.

Prince's Mansion.

Helian Sheng entered the main courtyard of the mansion and Liu Qiuyue came to greet him.

"Sir, Miss Alia made some soup. Would you like to go and take a look?"

"No need. There have been so many things going on in the mansion these days. Thank you for your hard work." Helian Sheng held Liu Qiyue's hand, his eyes full of worry, "How did your hand get hurt?"

Liu Qiyue lowered her eyes, then raised them again with a faint smile: "Your Majesty is toiling for national affairs, and I am only taking care of the small matters in the mansion. As for your hand... it was just an accidental burn."

"Is it because of Aria?"

Liu Qiyue: "The young lady didn't want to eat, so she knocked over the soup bowl, which hurt me unintentionally, but it's no big deal."

"She has been in a very sad mood these days, please bear with her, Lao Liangdi. I'll ask Zhou Shan to send you a bottle of the best medicine later." Helian Sheng said gently.

Liu Qiuyue looked at Helian Sheng's eyes and found that he was truly as described in history books: "a man with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of a god and a man", and as recorded in history books: "peaceful, kind and honest, and a good man with integrity".

It’s a pity that the princes in history books never live long, and he is no exception.

She planned to fail in the selection from the beginning and lived freely outside the palace. However, due to a slight deviation, she was granted the title of Crown Prince's Consort.

Liu Qiyue lowered her eyelids. A dynasty that was about to perish, a prince that was about to die, was there any need for her to get involved? If she didn't get involved, she would definitely not survive as the prince's concubine.

"What is Liangdi thinking about?"

Liu Qiyue came back to her senses, and leaned slightly closer to Helian Sheng, showing the proper leaning posture, and said softly: "I just want to see the old scene of the bustling street. I think I will be able to see it when I return home tomorrow, and I will be happy."

Since the election, the three princes were given concubines, and Helian Su ordered the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites to arrange it as soon as possible.

Within ten days, the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites worked intensively to carry Liu Qiuyue into the Crown Prince's Palace. The rest of the concubines would be moved into the Second Prince's Palace and the Fourth Prince's Palace within two months.

Tomorrow happens to be the day when Liu Qiuyue returns home.

Helian Sheng's eyes fell on Liu Qiyue's bright and lovely eyes, "I'm sorry, I should have accompanied you back home, but I angered my father today, and he punished me to be confined for a month."

Liu Qiyue raised her head slightly and guessed: "Is it because of Miss Aria?"

She saw in history books that Helian Sheng died of illness due to worry over the death of the Nanzhao Princess, but there were also unofficial histories saying that he was assassinated by the Nanzhao Princess.

It is undeniable that Helian Sheng’s death was indeed related to Princess Nanzhao.

"Yeah." Helian Sheng lowered his head slightly, and put his hand against Liu Qiyue's cheek, as if seeking some comfort. "I suddenly did this, and you may cause criticism when you return home."

The gentle self-blame made Liu Qiuyue's heart soften.

She had never thought that the three cold words "Helian Sheng" in the history books would be so real and gentle.

"It is a blessing for me that Master can think of me. Besides, Master is in trouble now, and I dare not add to the trouble." Liu Qiuyue sighed in her heart.

These words were seven parts true and three parts false. She really did feel sorry for the prince and cherished her first support in another world.

What was false was that they had only known each other for a short time, let alone knew each other well, and she said this because she was afraid of his identity.

What's more, she was Liangdi, a concubine in the first place. The fact that the prince was willing to accompany her back home was a sign of respect for her, so she didn't dare to ask for too much.

She was very arrogant at first, but on the day she entered the palace for the selection, when she was casually assigned to be the prince's concubine, and when she saw the princes bickering lightly, she was severely suppressed.

She clearly realized that this was the Great Xia Dynasty, not the future generations where she was born and raised. Here, the emperor's fate could really determine life and death.

No matter what she did next, she had to stay alive first.

"Master, I think it's getting late. Let's not delay eating. As the saying goes, 'Of all things, eating is the most important.' What do you think?"

"I will obey your orders."

Liu Qiuyue had some thoughts in her mind. She entered the palace before Liang Yuan, and now there was a Nanzhao princess in the palace who the prince loved but could not get. If she did not consolidate her favor, when the prince's wife entered the palace, the first target would definitely be her, who had been in charge of the household affairs in the palace.

She ordered the maid, "Biyun, prepare two more dishes to go with the wine, warm the wine and send it to the west courtyard."

The Crown Prince's Mansion is a little deserted, but the Fourth Prince's Mansion is very lively.

"Helian Yu!"

"Dare to drink?!"

"I'm going to beat you up today!"

Helian Yu ran around holding the wine jug, begging for help from Chang Zuo on the roof, "Brother Chang Zuo! Please save me! I'll give you money!"

Chang Zuo squatted on the eaves to clean his sword, and shouted to Helian Yu who was looking down: "Young Master didn't give any instructions."

Helian Yu wailed: "Chang Zuo! You are a dead wood!"

"Helian Yu! Stop right there!"

Helian Chi chased after him with a duster in his hand, and Helian Yu rushed onto the rockery in a hurry.

She ran and yelled at Helian Chi: "I just licked it! One lick!"

Helian Chi was holding a duster, standing under the rockery, pointing at Helian Yu and saying, "Don't you know what your physical condition is like? And you still dare to drink? Are you going to die? The law of Daxia stipulates that people under the age of sixteen cannot drink. Are you the first to break the law?"

“I just took a small bite!”

"Bullshit!" Helian Chi was so angry that he cursed. All his years of education had gone to waste. "Zhuo Liu saw you drink a whole pot! After drinking it, you even poured water into the pot. You are really smart."

"It's just so-so." Helian Yu smiled at him, revealing his white teeth. "It's mainly because the alcohol content of your wine is too low. It doesn't have much flavor and won't make you drunk."

She used to steal her master's wine, and she would drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. So how could she get drunk with just a pot of wine?

However, it is not as delicious as the wine brewed by Master.

Helian Chi took a deep breath and said, "Come down here. I'll count to three. If you don't come down, you'll have to wait. One, two..."

"etc!"

Helian Yu's little body shuddered, "You have to promise not to hit me."

Helian Chi calmed down and resumed his noble appearance, with an upright demeanor: "I promise that I will never hit you."

On the one hand, Helian Chi was genuinely concerned about Helian Yu's health, but on the other hand, he knew that if anything happened to Helian Yu, he would be in big trouble.

It would be a crime for Helian Yu to drink in his house, and if he was beaten by him again, it would be another crime for him.

He would never be able to please the emperor or the imperial teacher.

Helian Yu was skeptical and slowly climbed down from the rockery. She was always keeping an eye on Helian Chi. Her foot slipped and her body tilted.

Fell down.

Helian Chi's expression suddenly became nervous and he took big strides towards Helian Yu.

Chang Zuo kicked his foot, flew down from the eaves, raised his hand and stabbed with the scabbard.

The scabbard just happened to rest against Helian Yu's back, cushioning her, and she fell to the ground along the scabbard.

Helian Yu climbed up from the mud and couldn't help but give Chang Zuo a thumbs up, "That's awesome!"

Chang Zuo landed on the ground, his footsteps slightly paused.

Not picking her up is also considered amazing? She is too easy...

satisfy?

Chang Zuo couldn't find a suitable word in his limited vocabulary, so he suppressed his anger, pulled out the scabbard stuck in the rockery, and put it on his back.

Helian Chi picked up Helian Yu and said, "Xiao Yu'er, if you make trouble again next time, I will refuse to let you in."

"No, I will hold on tighter next time and won't slip down~"

"There will be a next time? Tomorrow I will ask Zhuo Liu to throw all the rockery away!"

"Oh? Then your house will be very ugly."

Helian Chi: "..."

It's better than being targeted by both the emperor and the imperial teacher, right?

This little troublemaker! (End of this chapter)
