Chapter 181 On the Road
"If Liangdi gives birth to a son, she will raise him. If she gives birth to a daughter, after the child is one month old, I will give her to you to raise. How do you think?"

Ariawu felt chilled and frightened. For the first time, she felt his coldness deeply.

She was powerless to resist the coldness.

With tears in her eyes, she took the initiative to kiss the prince on the corner of his lips: "Thank you for loving me, sir."

What can she do?
She didn't dare to refuse his "kindness", nor could she bear the consequences of rejecting him.
-
Facts have proved-

Helian Yu wanted to be punished to kneel.

Helian Yu knelt on the carpet skillfully with a droopy face, staring at Xie Rangchen who was reviewing documents at the desk: "Master, let me get up, I'll tell you something good?"

"Kneel down and speak."

"I don't have the strength to kneel down." Seeing that he didn't look at her, Helian Yu simply sat on his lap and lowered his voice pitifully, "Master~"

Xie Rangchen ignored him and picked up a glass cup - the one Helian Yu brought back, it was clean and translucent.

Helian Yu had no choice but to speak: "Master, I have thought of a good thing! You can write without ink, the production process is not complicated, and you can carry it with you, it doesn't take up space, and it won't dirty your clothes."

Xie Rangchen raised his eyelids to look at her, and Helian Yu quickly knelt down straight with a well-behaved look on her face.

"Get up." Xie Rangchen found a reason for her to stand up, "Come over and tell me what you think."

Helian Yu curved his eyes and ran towards him: "Master, graphite is now used to make fire, but it has other uses, such as making pens! I know that graphite was originally made into ink blocks and later replaced, but this time it is different! It can be..."

Helian Yu was beaming with joy as she explained in a loud and clear voice what she had just learned, imagining the conveniences of the future.

Xie Rangchen looked at her quietly, handed her a glass of water when her mouth was dry, and waited for her to finish speaking.

"Master, what do you think of my idea?"

Helian Yu held the glass teacup and looked at Xie Rangchen expectantly.

"It's a good idea, and it's very feasible." Xie Rangchen only emphasized one point, "Graphite mines are mineral resources and require approval from the Ministry of Households."

"That's no problem. I'll talk to Father about this on the way to the enclosure."

After the two finished talking about this matter, Xie Rangchen asked Helian Yu to leave the room and go back to her yard to rest.

The night is getting darker.

[After a quick calculation, I have earned several hundred thousand taels of silver! Awesome!]
[But, silver is still not enough! Just building the school and the orphanage cost a lot, so I have to work hard to earn money~]
[I can’t continue writing!!!]
[Write down tomorrow's menu! Eat Fucao]
Everyone: "..."

What does it mean to write half a word? Fall asleep while writing?
At that time, Helian Yu yawned and was too sleepy to open his eyes. He simply put down his pen, closed the diary, turned over, lay on the pillow and fell asleep.

The system that had been silent for a long time popped up.

[Congratulations to the host for winning the return——]

Halfway through the conversation, the system silently distributed the gift package rewards and made up its mind to hook up with another host. If it could straddle two boats, it would definitely come in handy!
It wants to be the most powerful working system!

The next morning.

Helian Yu filled in the unfinished words.

[Linggao, Feilong soup, lees lamb, garlic vinegar white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, mutton bones with Yuan juice, hot and sour kidneys with vinegar, steamed fresh fish, five-flavor steamed gluten, mutton crystal dumplings, silk goose noodle soup, three-fresh soup, mung bean chess noodles, minced pepper mutton! ]
When everyone saw the menu early in the morning, their stomachs almost growled.

The only thought in my mind was - the little brat knew how to deal with the aftermath, good!

Prince's Mansion.

"Master, the imperial physician in the palace has taken your pulse and it is indeed a happy pulse." It was hard for Aria to tell whether she was happy or sad, but she just said it to the prince with a smile.

"It's a happy occasion." The prince pulled Aria to sit on a chair and had breakfast with him. "Today's breakfast is rich. Eat some with me."

"Yes."

West courtyard.

Liu Qiuyue stroked her belly, feeling the growth of a little life. Her eyes were gentle, but also a little sad.

"Biyun, do you think it's better for this child to be a boy or a girl?"

Biyun said without hesitation: "Of course it's better to have a boy. A boy will protect you, and you will have someone to rely on in the future. If it's a boy, and he's the eldest grandson of the emperor, even though he's not the legitimate heir, he's still the eldest, and His Majesty will definitely like him."

Liu Qiuyue lowered her eyes, gently twirled the corner of her skirt with her fingers, and tried hard to suppress the sigh that was rising in her throat.

"Yeah, boys are better..."

Two days later, the Imperial Road in the capital was bustling with activity. There was the emperor's golden elephant chariot, the ceremonial guards of concubines and princes, followed by the carriages of ministers and generals, and the guards riding tall horses, looking heroic.

The people closed their doors and did not dare walk around in the streets, for fear of disturbing the emperor.

Helian Yu was so tired from the long journey that he ate an extra bowl of rice.

"tired?"

Helian Ya was surprised: "Is this the carriage Zhaoyang is riding in?"

"Although it's a horse-drawn carriage, I'm still very tired!" Helian Yu looked up at the sky, where white clouds floated and occasionally a flock of birds flew by. "Master asked me to recite the book. I'm so tired! So tired!"

Helian Ya chuckled: "The Imperial Master is also doing this for Zhaoyang's own good."

Helian Yu glanced at Helian Ya with resentment: "Did you take your male lover out with you?"

Helian Ya's face changed slightly, and she looked around subconsciously. Seeing that there were no outsiders, she felt relieved and said angrily: "Zhaoyang, don't say these things outside next time. Qingfeng is just my sister's zither player, and he happens to be handsome."

Helian Yu was bored and munching on some pastries: "Is that so..."

"Of course!" Helian Ya knew it very well, but she still stated the relationship between her and the musician righteously. After all, she had not yet married, so she still had to do her best to show her appearance. "Zhaoyang is young, don't talk nonsense."

Helian Yu munched on the cake and nodded randomly, but still reminded: "You have a bad relationship when you go to the enclosure. How should I put it... Anyway, you should be careful. Kill all the men playing in the enclosure or send them away. Don't continue the previous relationship in the future, otherwise it will lead to disaster."

There was astonishment in Helian Ya's eyes. It was not that she did not believe Helian Yu, but she did not believe that she would fall in love with the man in the paddock.

Ever since she knew the beauty of the luthier, she has tried many types of handsome men.

She discovered that what she liked was a handsome boy with a gentle temperament, talent, who could sit and discuss things with her, play the piano and make tea with her, and who could let go at night.

The men in the paddock are probably not of this type.

Helian Ya's face felt slightly hot as she thought about it, and she quickly put the thought out of her mind.

"Don't worry, Zhaoyang, sister will pay attention."

"My Lord, we just put on a great show!" Caiyun rushed back and bowed to Helian Ya, trying to calm down her excitement. "Caiyun greets Princess Yongle. Long live Your Highness."

"Okay, no need to be so polite, tell me what good show you performed." Helian Ya's personality became much more cheerful, and she became more outspoken and daring.

She knew that she was a princess of the royal family, and as long as she could save face, she had no intention of rebelling, and no one could do anything to her no matter how she behaved in private.

"Concubine Rong and Concubine Qing started fighting, and His Majesty got really angry."
