Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 117 Xu Rou will not sit still and wait for death

"Sister, lend me Prince for two days. I will take him to the academy to play for two days." Although the academy where Hongger is studying now cannot be compared with his elder brother's academy, it is also one of the best and it is close to home. When he heard that his sister was coming back, he ran back like the wind.

Hong Ge'er is now full of admiration for his sister. He can tell at first sight that this prince is not an ordinary bird. He doesn't know how she brought him back. He must take the prince to the academy. If he doesn't show off, he won't be able to sleep at night.

"How old are you this year, second brother?" Huang Ye asked seriously.

"I'm sixteen years old." Hong Ge'er was puzzled.

"If it weren't for my elder brother, I would have been married at the age of sixteen," Huang Ye rolled his eyes, "but I'm still so childish and love to show off."

Everyone in the room laughed. Hong Ge'er muttered, "All men admire the strong. You girls don't understand. Ask your grandfather and dad. Who doesn't want to show off?"

Huang Ye looked at the other two men in the room. They avoided his gaze, but their eyes were bright when they looked at the prince.

"The prince is a great treasure and we cannot let outsiders know about it easily. Grandfather, you must also pass on the message and not let people in the mansion spread rumors. It should be fine if only people in our mansion know about it." The old man nodded and agreed without asking why.

"Um...Ye'er...don't go out for a while...just stay at home..." Chen said hesitantly. She was afraid of hurting the child's self-esteem if she said it, but she was afraid that she wouldn't take it seriously if she didn't say it. She was in a dilemma.

"Cover...cover what?" Huang Ye didn't understand.

"What it means is that the young lady is dark now, so she should stay at home and keep herself white." Hongdou said quickly.

"What's wrong with my granddaughter being dark-skinned? She doesn't eat other people's rice. Good girl, come to your grandma. Grandma doesn't mind that you are dark-skinned." The old lady immediately started to protect her granddaughter. Although she also thought that her granddaughter was dark-skinned, she didn't like what others said.

Looking at the grandmother's hair which had turned completely white (Huang Ye automatically understood it as the grandmother's hair turning white because she missed her so much), Huang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "She has been running in the mountains every day in the nunnery, exposed to the wind and sun, how can her hair turn white? It will be fine when she comes back. My granddaughter is not dark to begin with, so her hair will turn white.

After dinner, Huang Ye returned to his Furong Garden. Hongyu had already married the son of a shopkeeper who ran a silver shop in his family. She had already given birth to a son. The maids and servants in the yard were temporarily transferred from the Rose Garden and Funing Hall. Chen said that she would ask the traffickers to bring them here tomorrow and let her choose for herself.

"I'm finally home!" Huang Ye rolled over comfortably on the bed: "It feels so good to be home." Huang Ye felt that no matter where she was in the future, her roots would always be here.

The next day happened to be a day off, and the whole family had breakfast in Funing Hall. Hongger went to the academy as usual, and the prince flew out to find food. Huang Ye went to the study with his grandfather and Huang Dad.

Qingyuer was already waiting outside the study. When he saw Huang Ye, he hurried over to greet him. He was no longer the little boy he used to be, but looked much more mature and stable.

"Tell me about the latest developments in the capital, especially Xu Rou." Huang Ye didn't think Xu Rou would just sit there and wait for death. That person was determined and good at disguise. She had always regarded him as a strong rival.

Qing Yuer cleared her throat. "Xu Rou has indeed made some moves. According to the people we arranged in the kitchen of the Changning Marquis's Mansion, although Xu Rou has been locked up, she is being looked after by her mother. She will occasionally do some needlework for the Marquis's wife. She is also diligent in learning calligraphy. It is said that even the old man praised her good handwriting. She has been well-behaved in the past few years. Judging from the Marquis's intention, she may want to let her out."

"Don't relax your surveillance on Xu Rou. If she still wants to enter the palace, she will make a move. She is too old to wait, so she should be out soon. This way, if she comes out, tell Qiu Die that I am looking for her."

Huang Ye thought about it and re-instructed: "There is no rush to contact Qiu Die. We must seize the opportunity and not let Xu Rou find out, otherwise Qiu Die will be in danger."

Qing Yuer told Huang Ye the news she had heard: "I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that since that incident, Xu Rou has trusted Qiu Die a lot more. On the contrary, Qiu Wen didn't know how to stop the incident, so Xu Rou disliked her. But now she doesn't dare to abuse the girls, she just doesn't like them."

"It should be true." Xu Rou's personality is that all the faults are others'. When she lost her mind, Qiu Die tried to stop it despite being beaten, while Qiu Wen was indifferent. Of course, she thought Qiu Die was more loyal than Qiu Wen, so it was good this way, Qiu Die's life would be better.

"That's it. You've done a great job these years. I'll arrange a real job for you in a few days so that you can move around outside. Don't stop doing what I tell you to do. Go down."

Qing Yu'er bowed and stepped back, wiping the sweat from her forehead. The young lady looked smiling, and could even be called a child, but dealing with her was more stressful than dealing with the old man. It was really strange.

"By the way, how am I doing now? What will happen to me this year?" Huang Ye asked the old man.

Hearing her mention his son, the old man couldn't help but be proud: "That child is smart and is making rapid progress. If I were to ask him, he would go down to the test this year, otherwise he would have to wait for three years. As long as he gets a good rank, we would make some arrangements and send him to a local job. He will have a bright future."
