Chapter 76 Chicken Blood
Ling Yu looked at her, and Ling Qingyan returned his bright smile.
"Yes, I am a relative of the emperor's uncle."
Even in front of her brother, the Crown Prince, the little girl still said things so firmly that the Crown Prince didn't like so much. Ling Yu was really touched at this moment.
The few relatives in this world who truly cared about him have passed away, and the rest either hope that he will die or be disabled.
It was as if he was trapped in a dark abyss, surrounded by wolves, but the girl was the sun and would save him from danger without hesitation.
He was like a struggling dead tree, struggling to survive alone, but he never thought that there would be a day when someone would come to water him.
Ling Zhuoan saw Ling Yu smiling so happily, so happily that it was sickening, and his face became even gloomier.
The girl was a good emotional sensor, and she changed her tone and said, "I am also a relative of the emperor."
"Qingyan's parents are both deceased. Fortunately, I have the protection of Your Majesty, my brother, and my uncle. You are all very important relatives to Qingyan."
The master of keeping things balanced, she was even moved by herself.
"So, considering my young age and how much I value you, please don't bother with Qingyan, okay?" Ling Qingyan smiled and looked at her royal brother, then tilted her head to look at her uncle.
Ling Yu spoke before Ling Zhuo'an, "How could the emperor's uncle blame Qingyan? The emperor's uncle said that because he cares about Qingyan, not because he wants to punish her."
"My niece is so young, what could she have done wrong?" Ling Yu slowly lowered his gaze to Ling Zhuoan, as if to say, "The prince is the one who is wrong."
Ling Zhuo'an was too lazy to pay attention to this helpless old man and said to the girl, "Brother will not blame the royal sister. I am very happy that the royal sister can abandon the elders who rely on their age and come out with me."
Ling Zhuoan was extremely magnanimous.
"It's almost time. My sister and I should go back to the palace. Please do as you please, uncle." Ling Zhuoan leisurely left with Ling Qingyan.
Ling Yu chuckled on the spot.
He was too lazy to argue with a young boy like Ling Zhuoan about gains and losses. After all, the little girl had him in her heart, and the relationship between them was no longer just that of uncle and nephew.
Ling Qingyan and the prince returned to the palace. Along the way, Ling Qingyan and the prince said a lot of good things.
Only then did we finally get over the topic.
…
A few days later, the princess married and Xiao Yuanzhao returned to Li State with a body full of poison.
Yan Hong gave him a month. Within a month, they must see the water of truth, otherwise Xiao Yuanzhao would die.
Although Xiao Yuanzhao had suffered some minor bumps since he was born, overall his life was smooth sailing. His mother was favored by his father, and he himself was highly anticipated among the princes.
Come to Lingguo and suffer all the grievances that you have never suffered in your life!
No one bullies people like this!
The power of Li State was slightly weaker than that of Ling State, and there were small tribes around it that were eyeing it covetously. However, Li State had few descendants and no princess, so it could only give up some interests and ask to marry the princess of Ling State.
Xiao Yuanzhao originally thought this was a good job. The beauties of Ling Kingdom were both beautiful and interesting. By doing this, he not only made a contribution but also married a good princess. It was really a blessing.
What's the result?
It was as if all the crows in the country of Li had descended upon him. Being plotted against twice and marrying a vicious princess was already painful enough.
In the end, I was cheated by the fortune teller!
Not only did they deceive him, they also threatened his life! Only by sending Auntie's Mantra Water over within a month can there be an antidote.
That blue-eyed liar even said they were half-brothers?!
How is that possible!
Although he subconsciously rejected it, Xiao Yuanzhao had no doubt that it was fake.
He looks so much like his mother, especially the same pair of blue eyes.
I don't know who taught him how to cast a Gu, but he also asked him to deliver a message to his mother.
When Xiao Yuanzhao thought about this, he felt extremely upset, especially because of the poison in his body. He asked the convoy to go faster and faster and go back to ask his aunt for the water of true words to quickly detoxify him.
In Ling State, the spring examination is approaching.
The grass is green and the birds are singing. Occasionally you can see a few children flying kites in the sky. However, what you see more often in the capital are the candlelights of students.
The assessment for female officials also takes place during the Spring Examination period, and the content of the assessment is slightly more difficult than that for men.
Chen Mansheng has been working harder these days, and so has Chen Chuo.
Chen Chuo seemed like the kind of genius that Ling Qingyan had only heard of in modern times. He had clearly never been to academy when he came to the Duke's Mansion, but in just three or two months, he not only recognized all the characters, but also could quote many allusions and ancient books.
Ling Qingyan seriously suspected that she had concealed her abilities when she first came to the Duke's Mansion.
Otherwise this is too clever.
Mu Xianzhi has been extremely busy these days.
He was busy with the Spring Examination. He was the chief examiner, and many people came to see him, but most of them were students from the Hongwenguan who asked questions, or people from the Ministry of Rites who asked him about the Spring Examination.
Even if someone was smart, no one dared to bribe Mu Xianzhi to do favoritism.
In Mu Xianzhi's first year as the chief examiner, many evildoers came to him. At that time, he did not have such a high prestige. But on the second day, no matter what rank they held or what connections they had, Mu Xianzhi reported them all in a memorial and the matter was brought to the emperor's attention.
The emperor was furious and implicated and punished many people.
At the same time, he respected Mu Xianzhi's character very much, and Mu Xianzhi won the emperor's heart.
Step by step, he became a close minister to the emperor who was highly valued by His Majesty.
Ling Qingyan couldn't help Mansheng with the exam in any way. The only thing she could do was to ask Mu Xianzhi to give her more advice and spend more time answering her questions.
"How dare I disobey your Highness's order?" Mu Xianzhi said slowly.
As the Spring Examination approaches, there will be many eyes watching Mu Xianzhi, so he can't do anything out of the ordinary.
Although Ling Qingyan can't help Chen Mansheng with anything else, she can provide emotional value.
Every day I would write some encouraging words for her on beautiful colored paper and send them to her along with carefully prepared tea and snacks.
"When you win the first prize in the imperial examination, you will be recognized by the whole world."
"The pen is the sword, the ink is the field, enter the court, kill the corrupt officials, and show the brilliance of women."
"Break through the fog, cut through the thorns, endure the cold winter, and greet the dawn. The youthful spirit is at its peak."
"No matter what the outcome, you are the one I admire the most. Come on, we at Mansheng will definitely get what we want!"
“…”
Ling Qingyan also drew a very cute simple sketch behind her, of two little girls, one lively and the other quiet. The quiet little girl was concentrating on studying, while the lively one was cheering her on from the side.
One letter after another, one every day. Because she was afraid that Ling Qingyan would disturb her if she went to Duke Chen's Mansion in person, she always sent Xilan to deliver the letters.
Because she and Shen Chuo were friends, and she had said before that she would protect him, Ling Qingyan had not forgotten it, so Ling Qingyan also brought tea and snacks to Shen Chuo.
Also... sent a few words of encouragement.
It's just that there is obviously no intention to spread it.
“Ride your dreams and live up to your youth.”
"Without hardship and fatigue, the Spring Examination is meaningless; without fighting and struggling, life is in vain!"
"The world is still undecided, you and I are both dark horses!"
“If you don’t fly, you’ll soar into the sky. If you don’t sing, you’ll be a surprise!”
“…”
Ling Qingyan wrote to Chen Chuo much more quickly than she did to Mansheng. With the baptism of high school education, writing to Chen Chuo was a piece of cake for her!
As a boy, you need some serious encouragement!
