Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 154 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 18

However, the matter could not be resolved with just a few words from the two of them. At least without the emperor's order, Huo Yucheng could not leave Shangjing City.

So he returned to the princess's mansion, ready to continue fighting with his mother.

If they could get the support of their elders, that would be great. As for what they just said about settling down together at the border, it was only a last resort.

After returning home, Huo Yucheng was greeted by the whip in the hands of the eldest princess. These two are indeed mother and son, and their methods of teaching people a lesson are exactly the same.

He was whipped so hard that the clothes on his back were torn and bloodstains were faintly visible.

Princess Jingxuan hugged him anxiously: "Cheng'er, why don't you get out of the way?"

"Mother, Cheng'er has made you angry, and he deserves to be punished."

These words made Princess Jingxuan burst into tears. She only had this one son in her life, so how could she not feel sorry for him?

Seeing that he was determined to stick to it, Princess Jingxuan finally gave in, fearing that things would get too awkward and hurt the relationship between them, so she gave in.

"Bring that woman to my house as a guest some other day, so that I can see who she is and who could have bewitched my son so much."

Huo Yucheng had a feeling that something was not right about these words. It didn't seem like his mother wanted to invite anyone to visit the house, but rather seemed to want to cause trouble for Miss Chu.

He quickly helped his mother sit down on the chair: "Mother, don't worry, Miss Chu hasn't agreed to her son's pursuit yet, so if you want to meet your future daughter-in-law, you have to wait a little longer."

We can only delay it for a while now. If my mother really meets Miss Chu, she will definitely make things difficult for me.

Princess Jingxuan never thought that her son, who had been fighting with his family for so long, even at the risk of being whipped, was still in the stage of unrequited love.

This made her even more curious about this woman.

In fact, being together for life is the dream of every woman.

But even though she was a princess, she did not receive the exclusive love from her husband.

So she really wanted to know what kind of woman was that would make her son declare that he would only marry her in his life.

She has gradually calmed down these days. Getting married and having children is her son's own business, and she, as a mother, should not impose her own ideas on him.

But before she could figure it out completely, this incident happened. Her son, who had been raised with great care since childhood, was now willing to crawl through a dog hole for a woman.

There were so many shocking things that had happened to her recently that she needed to digest them all.

Huo Yucheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his mother's attitude softened. It seemed that this matter was not without room for negotiation.

So these few days, he acted like a good son at home, visiting his parents every morning and evening without missing a moment.

This also made Princess Jingxuan smile more and more. Such days have not happened for a long time since her son went to the battlefield at the age of 15.

She worried every day at home, fearing that one day she would receive news that he had died on the battlefield.

Because her brother-in-law died under the swords of the barbarians.

Fortunately, after so many years, her son finally came back alive and well. Although a child is no longer under the control of his mother, as long as she sees that he is safe and happy, she should be content as a mother.

As for the matter of offspring, let him worry about it himself.

Huo Yucheng's efforts over the past few days were not in vain. Finally, at noon on the fifth day, they had breakfast together.

"Cheng'er, your mother has seen your determination these days. You should leave the house today. If anyone knows that the dignified King Jingyuan still has a woman he cannot pursue, I will be ashamed for you."

"Thank you, mother, for your help."

He quickly ordered his people to pack up their things and move back to his house in the outer city.

The lovers finally met each other. On the way back, Huo Yucheng began to imagine what Miss Chu's expression would be when she saw him, and whether she would rush over and give him a big hug.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. He was stopped halfway. It was a eunuch who came to summon him to the palace to meet the emperor.

However, even if he went back now, he would not be able to see Chu Yuan.

Because just yesterday, Chu Yang came back, and the brother and sister had a long talk all night, and now Chu Yuan has just fallen asleep.

The reason was that the Spring Examination was approaching this year, and Chu Yang wanted to take part in it, but the teacher persuaded him to wait.

Chu Yang was very conflicted, so he asked for leave from the academy and came back to ask his sister for her opinion.

Chu Yuan asked him, "If this were to happen now, would you be sure?"

Chu Yang thought about it and felt a little insecure: "When I was studying in the academy, the teacher always praised me for my academic performance and said that I was more talented than other students in the class. But why can they all get the chance to succeed, but I have to wait? We are all about the same age."

After hearing this, Chu Yuan understood that it was the child's competitive spirit that was at work.

He was afraid that by that time everyone would have achieved fame and honor, but he, who was often praised by the teacher, would still be a commoner and inferior to others.

Chu Yuan talked with him all night long, explaining all the principles to him in detail.

The Master did not let him end this year because he had higher expectations for him. The final destination for an ordinary person might be a Juren, or a more capable one might even become a Jinshi.

At that time, he would find an assignment outside the capital and serve as a county magistrate for the rest of his life. This would be a height that ordinary people would never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

But Chu Yang is different. He is full of talent and knowledge. Under the careful guidance of the teacher, in three years, he may be able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination.

At that time, you can enter the Hanlin Academy to seek a job. You should know that most of the cabinet ministers are from the Hanlin Academy. If you can enter the cabinet, it will bring honor to your family.

By then, the spirits of my parents and elder brother in heaven will be able to rest in peace.

After listening to his sister's words, Chu Yang felt relieved and began to feel guilty for his short-sightedness.

Chu Yuan touched his head and said, "A few years have passed, and Yang'er is already a thirteen-year-old boy. The help that your sister can provide you is limited after all. The future path still depends on Yang'er himself."

"Don't worry, sister. Yang'er will grow up quickly and become your support in the future."

After the brother and sister separated, Chu Yuan went back to her room to rest, while Chu Yang returned to the academy in high spirits and informed the teacher of his decision.

The teacher was very pleased. This boy's talent was not inferior to those children from aristocratic families. With such a sensible elder in his family, he would surely achieve great things in the future.

Since then, Chu Yang has been staying in the academy to study with peace of mind, and has never been disturbed by news from the outside world.

Even though the people around him passed the imperial examination one after another, it did not cause the slightest ripple in his heart.

The teacher was worried that he had not been in good shape recently, so he specifically suggested giving him a few days off.

Chu Yang smiled and refused: "Sir, now that I have made up my mind, I will not think about anything else. You don't have to worry about me."
