Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Ling Yang College 4
Xiao Yuan Cheng's forehead was filled with sweat. In his heart, he wanted to strangle his useless and ignorant daughter, Xiao Ling to death!
Stupid girl! She only knows how to cause him trouble!
Xiao Ling still had no idea how she was wrong. Huang Bei Yue was the 'waste' but why is it all of a sudden that everyone began to take her side?
First, it was Concubine Xue and Xiao Yun. Okay, fine! Just now His Royal Highness saved her, and Nan Yi country's 9th prince as well. Even Xiao Yao Wang is taking her side!
How come a 'waste' has such good luck!
Xiao Ling clenched her teeth harshly. She can't swallow down this breath!
In Xiao Yao Wang's heart, he was very angry. All these years he had been traveling and haven't returned. Occasionally he heard about the events in Princess Zhang's Prefecture and knew that Huang Bei Yue is a weak and sick child. He thought that even if Huang Bei Yue was gentle and couldn't practice martial arts, due to her status she would be able to live a carefree life.
However, today after returning to Nan Yi country, he had gradually heard about the news that Xiao Yuan Cheng's many concubines were very overbearing. Even the concubines' daughters would run rampant!
In this type of home, how was Bei Yue's life like?
He thought that during today's palace banquet, he might be able to see the child that he used to worry about. Just a while ago he saw that she was sick but her eyes were determined and her expression strong. Due to that, he felt a little better.
But right now Xiao Ling dared to humiliate her in front of an audience and called a 'waste', how could he not be angry?!
So she actually hasn't been living well? So he's the one who thought that everything was too simple!
Before he promised Princess Zhang to take care of her child but all these years he left the child among a group of monsters!
Looking towards Huang Bei Yue, his eyes were pained.
Due to the movement, it also brought the Emperor and the Empress's attention over here.
The Emperor accompanied with Princess Ying Ye and His Royal Highness made their way here.
"What happened?" The Emperor walked closer, looking at Xiao Yuan Cheng who pushed his daughter to kneel on the ground. His expression shocked.
"Your majesty, it's this minister that hasn't taught his daughter well that she would talk against Xiao Yao Wang." Xiao Yuan Cheng hurriedly explained.
He was mumbling to himself in his heart that he was quite unlucky today. If he knew what would have happened, he would never have brought Xiao Ling here. Not only did he offend Xiao Yao Wang, even the Emperor is unhappy!
Originally the Emperor was already unhappy with Xiao Yuan Cheng who was only a warrior. Now he dared to offend Xiao Yao Wang, the one person he respected the most. Immediately, he became upset.
Xiao Yao Wang didn't continue to pursue. Instead, he opened his folded fan and restored the elegant smile.
"It's not a big deal. Shocking the Emperor is this minister's wrong."
The Emperor also smiled: "Xiao Yao Wang's free and easy temperament. Don't bother with little matters. You won't lower himself to argue with a child."
"The Emperor is right." Xiao Yao Wang looked at Huang Bei Yue, and smiled: "This minister has one offer that wishes the Emperor will accept."
"Just go ahead and say, Xiao Yao Wang!" The Emperor exclaimed.
Xiao Yao Wang usually was indifferent to fame and fortune. He wanted to live a carefree life and therefore, this was the first time he seeks the Emperor. Obviously, the Emperor will accept his offer!
Xiao Yao Wang replied in monotone: "A few days later the Ling Yang College will begin the admissions assessment. This minister wants to recommend someone."
"This is easy, this Emperor approves! Just don't know whether this person knows martial arts or…." The Emperor hears and is a bit happy.
The people that Xiao Yao Wang recommend either have a strong strength or big background. Letting them into Ling Yang College, for Nan Yi country there will only be benefits, not harms.
Xiao Yao Wang slightly furrowed his eyebrows, smiling: "She's just a normal person."
Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Ling Yang College 5
The Emperor was stumped for words for a second. No wonder Xiao Yao Wang came to ask him. Placing a person in Ling Yang College isn't a trivial matter.
"In the college, there is a part of the college which is made for the royal family and daughters and sons of nobility. It specialized in teaching poetry, etiquette, military strategies, tactics, riding, and shooting. Arrange her to go to the there."
"Many thanks to the emperor." A beautiful smile spread across his face.
The Emperor smiled, "I don't know which daughter or son of which family Xiao Yao Wang is recommending?"
Xiao Yao Wang smiled, said: "This person, the emperor certainly knows."
After he finished talking, he turned his head. He looked at Huang Bei Yue with a smile on his face,
"Bei Yue, come quickly to pay your respect to the Emperor."
Huang Bei Yue lifted her head and glanced at him. Regarding this person who excessively enthusiastic about her, she really doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Going to Ling Yang College, he didn't even ask if she agreed!
But in fact, she is curious about Ling Yang College. She heard that inside the college, it gathered the entire Nan Yi country's experts. There are teachers of powerful ranks as well as countless precious secret books and treasures.
To the present her, improving her strength is too important. She is even more in a hurry to unlock the secrets of the black jade.
She really needs a place with ancient information so she can look for information about the black jade.
Since 'that person' and the black jade are related to each other, then, in this era, there must be information regarding that person and the black jade.
Going to Ling Yang College is the best method, inside the famous Seven Towers numerous ancient records are hidden. She already wanted to check it out before this, but experts in Ling Yang College heavily guarded the place. It's would be difficult for her to go in and out undetected.
If she can become one of their students, then it would be the best.
All thanks to Xiao Yao Wang that she can go in so smoothly. So when Xiao Yao Wang asked her to thank the emperor, she didn't try to evade it. She confidently walked over.
"Bei Yue…" When the Emperor heard this name, the smile on his face disappeared for a split second.
He emotion on his face showed that he was excited to see Huang Bei Yue who was walking slowly towards him. His usual brilliance and prestige, suddenly become somewhat haggard and old.
Huang Bei Yue blinked for a second and the Emperor already strode over to her. Both of his hand grabbed her shoulder. Excitedly he said, "You are Bei Yue."
She nodded her head, Princess Zhang and the Emperor is born from the same mother. Princess Zhang is the Emperor's blood-related older sister, so he's her (Huang Bei Yue's) uncle.
She faintly remembered that when she was little, the Emperor was very good to her. He doted on her a lot.
Once she was born, he bestowed the title, "Princess Bei Yue" to her. Furthermore, he also gave her the populous and affluent Qing He region's land, wanting to give her a life without worries.
But after Princess Zhang died, she had entered the palace less. After that, the doctor diagnosed that her illness is contagious. Hence, Huang Bei Yue was confined to Princess Zhang's Prefecture.
Every year, the Emperor would give her generous rewards. However, it was always secretly divided among Concubine Xue and Concubine Qin.
Because there are many memories, Huang Bei Yue's impression of the Emperor is very good.
The Emperor looked at her thin and sickly body. Suddenly he became furious. He turned around, with on foot he kicked over Xiao Yuan Cheng who was kneeling on the floor.
"Shameful thing!" The Emperor furiously pointed at Xiao Yuan Cheng, "What did you say to me? Every time I asked how Bei Yue was, you answered by saying that she is very good. I asked you to bring her to the palace so I can see. You said she doesn't want to come to the palace! Good! I told you to take good care of her! And how did you do?!"
Due to the Emperor's anger, the civil and military officers in Xia Guang hall all immediately kneeled down. All together shouted, "Emperor, please quell your anger."
