When Ye Maochun, Hua Rongsheng and Feng Lingyan went to the General's Mansion, Hua Qingcheng also returned to the Imperial College.
The exam subjects that afternoon were calligraphy, horseback riding, and archery. Aside from her less-than-satisfactory calligraphy skills, horseback riding and archery were easy for Hua Qingcheng.
At the hour of You, the bell for the end of school at the Imperial College rang on time. Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen walked directly from the training ground to the gate of the Imperial College.
"Fourth Princess, tomorrow is the ten-day holiday. Tonight...would you like Second Princess to take you out to play and relax?"
Nalan Wansheng pulled out a folding fan from her waistband and waved it gently, ignoring Wuchen beside Hua Qingcheng and raising an eyebrow meaningfully at her. Behind her were Fu Yueshan, Deanie Yip, Xia Qifeng, and others who were stirring up the discussion.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, you are still fanning yourself in such a cold day. Aren't you afraid of freezing to death? Your Highness the Crown Princess has been busy with exams all day, so naturally she has to go back to the East Palace to rest." Wu Chen sneered and pulled Hua Qingcheng behind him.
"Prince Helun hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already thinking about how to control his wife?"
Nalan Wansheng closed the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", raised the corners of his lips slightly, glanced at Wuchen with a look of disdain on his face.
"Prince Helun, this is... the Kingdom of Laifeng! Women are superior to men. If you do this... you'll embarrass the Fourth Princess! You might even be labeled henpecked."
"Hahaha……"
As Nalan Wansheng finished speaking, laughter broke out behind her.
"Prince Yu, what Prince Helun said is exactly what I mean. As for whether I'm afraid of my wife or not, that's purely my personal matter and none of your business. In my opinion, Prince Yu should first worry about how to explain to the Queen Mother if he fails the ten-day exam again!"
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Nalan Wansheng with a faint glance, then grabbed Wu Chen's arm and walked away.
"Prince Yu, then...are we still going to Yunliang Pavilion?"
Huangfu Yueshan (the daughter of the Duke's family) watched Hua Qingcheng and Wuchen's backs gradually recede, her question tinged with a touch of caution and trepidation. After all, Prince Yu had never passed any of the Imperial College's exams, major or minor, except for the horseback archery test.
"I've never taken the exam before, so it doesn't matter if I take it this time..." Deanie Yip (daughter of the Minister of Revenue) said leisurely.
"That's true." Xia Qifeng (daughter of the Minister of War) nodded in agreement as usual.
…
"My dear sister, this is Laifeng Country." Wu Chen, who was walking side by side with Hua Qingcheng, looked at the woman beside him leisurely and said meaningfully.
"Yeah." Hua Qingcheng responded.
"The women in your country where women are respected can not only have three husbands and four concubines, but also go out to seek pleasure. Aren't you... moved by what King Yu said just now?" Wu Chen narrowed his eyes dangerously and said with a smile.
"What a joke! Why would I go to a place like that?"
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hua Qingcheng would never admit that one of the original owner's greatest pleasures was visiting the Lan Yan Pavilion in Baishui Town. After all, that wasn't her...
"Besides, every man around me is a handsome man. The men in the brothels can't even compare to one of their fingers, right?" Hua Qingcheng pinched Wu Chen's arm beside her.
"Of course..." Wuchen's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, and his heart was instantly filled with joy. (My dear sister just praised him for his beauty!)
The two of them talked as they walked and soon left the Imperial College.
As Hua Qingcheng walked out of the Imperial College gate, she saw a figure dressed in the dark royal robes of a princess standing beside the East Palace's carriage. Furthermore, not only Mu Lige, but also Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, and Si Chengfeng had arrived.
"Brother Li, why did you come here in person again?"
Seeing this, Hua Qingcheng hurried forward, gave Mu Lige a tender smile, then took his hands and rubbed them.
At noon, Mu Lige gave her a big surprise. Hua Qingcheng was very grateful for this man's thoughtfulness.
"Qingqing, tomorrow is your ten-day holiday. Tonight, let's go to the General's Mansion to visit Grandma, Grandpa and the others, and stay there for a day."
Mu Lige brushed away a strand of hair that was floating on Hua Qingcheng's forehead. Both his actions and words were full of tenderness.
"Okay." Hua Qingcheng smiled at this thoughtful Zheng Jun.
Mu Lige's move was essentially "killing three birds with one stone," as he not only visited his grandmother and grandfather, but also got to see Feng Lingyan and Hua's mother and father. It was a legitimate reason that could withstand any investigation or scrutiny.
Soon, two carriages from the East Palace joined the Feng Mansion carriage, heading east toward the General's Mansion. (Wu Chen and Zuo An, who was protecting Mu Lige, also accompanied them.)
At four quarters past the hour of You, in the dining hall of Qingrong Garden, the General's Mansion, where Feng Jingyun and Mulanjin lived.
"Grandma, Grandpa, please forgive me for being so busy that I haven't been able to visit you yet!" During the dinner, Hua Qingcheng raised her glass to apologize to Feng Lingyun and Mulanjin.
"My dear granddaughter, you don't have to worry so much. Now that you are the princess of the crown prince and have entered the Imperial College, you should naturally focus on your studies." Feng Jingyun's voice was full of energy and majestic, but there was no lack of kindness of an elder for a younger generation.
"Your grandmother is right, my dear granddaughter. Jingyang takes care of everything in our house. It's very good. You don't have to worry." Mulan Jin touched his newly grown white beard and smiled kindly.
He inexplicably missed the days when he worked as a supervisor for his granddaughter in Huaqiao Village, working in the fields every day. Although he didn't have the luxurious living conditions of the General's Mansion, he still lived a fulfilling life.
"Grandfather is right. There's someone in this mansion who's quietly made contributions and made great contributions. Qingcheng would like to offer a glass of wine to express my gratitude to my uncle for his contributions to the General's Mansion." (And for his kindness to my father.)
