Chapter 125: The Indulgent Beast Who Doesn't Care About People

If the test succeeds, then she and Gu Yizi will have a tacit understanding and everyone will be happy.

Even if the test failed, in the eyes of others she was just a concubine of low status who didn't know the rules, and the rumors would fade away in a few days.

After all, she is no longer the same as before and has no one to rely on.

With Ruanruan around, Gu Yizi still has some feelings for her.

She can still afford this little mistake.

And now the result is still a happy one for everyone.

In this way, with Gu Yizi's approval, it would be more natural for her to compete for favor and take advantage of it.

"Sly little bastard." Gu Yizi said with a smile, scooped a spoonful of soup and fed it to Xia Zheng's mouth: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you need some nourishment."

Xia Zheng came closer without refusing, revealing her smooth neck, and drank the soup with her red lips lightly holding the edge of the spoon.

She moved her lips away and saw that Gu Yizi had not yet taken back the spoon, so she looked up at him inexplicably.

Seeing Xia Zheng looking over, Gu Yizi immediately withdrew his hand unnaturally, turned his head away and scolded: "You are just getting better, don't play these tricks."

Flowers?

She didn't seduce him at all just now. It was clearly him who asked her to drink the soup!

Although she felt wronged, Xia Zheng could not say anything. She could only shrink back and mutter, "I was just following the prince's orders. Besides, the prince said he would credit me with a merit, but he only said it, and didn't even mention rewarding me."

"You're really good at taking advantage of others." Seeing her pitiful look, even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, Gu Yizi still indulged her and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I would like to ask the prince to recommend the two younger sons of the Yang family and the son of Yang the cook to study at Shenglin Academy."

Gu Yizi's expression changed slightly. He looked at her and asked, "Do you know where Shenglin Academy is?"

"I know it's the best academy in the capital."

Apart from the Imperial College, Shenglin Academy is the best academy in the entire Great Zhou. Studying there means one step towards official career, so admission is extremely difficult.

Not only does one need personal knowledge but also a recommendation. Dozens of gentlemen in the academy will make a comprehensive assessment before deciding whether one can be selected into the academy.

After admission, you still need to take exams every year and be expelled at the end.

But even those who were expelled were talents that other places were vying for.

One of the most powerful aides in the old emperor's palace was the one who was expelled from Shenglin Academy. Before his death, he had been promoted to the fourth rank. The outstanding people who came out of the academy also served in the Yuan Dynasty. However, in recent years, no one from the academy has entered the officialdom.

Xia Zheng had no idea of ​​the reason.

"Did the Yang family ask you for help?" Gu Yizi asked again.

Xia Zheng shook her head. "The Yang family doesn't know. I made this decision on my own. I have no one in my family. Since the Yang family works for me, they are my family. I should take care of them. If the Yang family can produce talented people, it will also help Ruanruan in the future. Parents who love their children will have long-term plans for them. Although I am incompetent, I also want to make a plan for Ruanruan."

Gu Yizi remained silent.

Ruanruan is his eldest daughter, and no one will dare to treat her badly in the future. She does not need the support of the Yang family.

But looking at Xia Zheng, I think she is uneasy about her background and feels anxious because she can't do anything for Ruanruan.

I heard that women become irritable and depressed after giving birth, and if things don't go as planned, they will suffer from depression, which can be a mild case of melancholy and even life-threatening. But she is just a Yang family, so she just does what she wants.

"Okay, I can find someone to recommend them, but whether they can get in depends on their own abilities."

"That's for sure, Prince Xie." Xia Zheng smiled happily.

This is really happy.

When Gu Yizi was silent just now, she was afraid that he would not respond.

Although this matter was not worth mentioning to him, Xia Zheng thought he would agree, but before getting a confirmation, she was still worried. If he did not agree, then her plan to take root would be ruined.

After all, she has no one else to use except the Yang family.

With just a food shop, even if the Yang family could expand it with the cooperation of the Luo family, or even open a restaurant, they would only become a small wealthy family, not worth mentioning in this Kyoto city, let alone become Xia Zheng's roots.

Therefore, someone must be able to enter the officialdom.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep." Gu Yizi put down the spoon and got up to walk into the inner room.

After taking two steps, he didn't hear Xia Zheng's footsteps following him. He turned around and saw that she had only half stood up, and her movements were so slow that she couldn't hide the fear on her face.

Thinking of that night, I know what she was afraid of.

This is treating him as a beast who indulges in lust without caring about others.

If it were anyone else, Gu Yizi would have thrown his sleeves and left long ago, but seeing her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes misty, and the red marks on her neck that had not completely faded, he finally said in a deep voice: "You are just recovering from your illness, I won't move you."

"I will help the prince to sleep." Xia Zheng then stood up straight and came over, holding Gu Yizi's arm with a flattering smile.

Seeing her like this, although Gu Yizi was still unhappy, he was reluctant to push her away.

When Gu Yizi woke up the next day, Xia Zheng was still sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms. Only when he got out of bed and made a noise did she frown impatiently and twist her body, silently expressing her dissatisfaction.

Gu Yizi was already used to her lazy sleep and refused to let anyone wake her up. After putting on his court clothes, he gathered the kicked-off quilt for her and walked out silently.

Changfeng and Shuangjiang waited outside all night and fell asleep leaning against the pillars under the eaves.

Hearing Gu Yizi's footsteps, Changfeng immediately stood up. Seeing Shuangjiang still asleep, he whispered, "Prince, she just fell asleep. Tell her to sleep a little longer."

Gu Yizi glanced at Changfeng and asked jokingly, "When did you become so caring about others?"

"I just think she's small because she's young." He defended himself, but his ears were red.

In the past, Gu Yizi did not understand the young man's thoughts, but now, he understood a little bit. He did not blame Changfeng, but turned his head to look at the window of the house over there and tiptoed out the door.

Before Changfeng left, he pulled the coat covering Shuangjiang's body over his shoulders. Shuangjiang moved his head as if disturbed, and his cheek just happened to rub against the back of Changfeng's hand, startling him so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.

Then he remembered that Shuangjiang was still sleeping. He looked over worriedly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had just changed her posture. He hurriedly followed Gu Yizi and left.

It was not until dawn that Frost opened his eyes with a hum.

He stretched his body and saw something slipping off his body. He picked it up and saw that it was Changfeng's coat.

When I turned around to return it to him, I saw that the place where he was standing was empty. I looked at the rising sun and realized that I had overslept.

She secretly cursed Changfeng for being so vindictive. She had said a few words to him last time, so he deliberately didn't wake her up today.

She stood up and was about to push the door open to call Xia Zheng. Before her hand even touched the door, she heard Nanny Niu's impatient voice behind her: "Madam Xia, are you still not awake at this hour? The new members from yesterday are all here, waiting for you, Madam Xia."

"My aunt..." Shuangjiang didn't know how to explain for a moment.

At this moment, the closed door was opened from the inside, and Xia Zheng, already dressed, stepped out and said, "Madame Niu, you've arrived just in time. I was just about to go and pay my respects to the Crown Prince's wife."

The subsequent words that Nanny Niu had prepared were all choked back, not only because of Xia Zheng's coincidental appearance, but also because she was different from the past.
