Chapter 161 Let’s go to school
When I returned to the gate of the mansion, I happened to see Chu Ce getting ready to go out.
Chu Ce saw his daughter getting off the driveway and said, "I saw that you guys were taking so long to come back and I heard the sound of firecrackers. I was afraid something might happen in the city, so I was planning to go pick you up."
"We also heard about the firecracker incident. We were afraid that if there were too many people, something might happen and we wouldn't be able to return, so we didn't dare to stay longer." Chu Yunduan threw the reins to the servant, went up to greet him and explained that as he was the oldest among the four, he should take good care of his younger siblings.
Chu Ce took You Huang's bookcase and said, "The news of Princess E'na's death has just been spread outside, and these people can't wait to celebrate. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for Princess Diji."
"Huang'er thought the same thing just now, but it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words..." Chu Yunduan explained using Youhuang's words: "The daughter of the Emperor's Mansion just died, and they celebrated wildly. Not to mention that Emperor Shude will be angry, I'm afraid His Majesty will also have something to say."
"You can think this way, which makes you much better than others. Come in quickly."
Chu Ce felt very relieved that the children could think of this, which showed that their family was doing a good job in guiding the children.
After watching the children go in, Chu Ce said to You Mu: "The mansion should strengthen its defenses tonight. Also, send someone to warn the patrol camp and ask them to increase patrols at the night market. I hope there won't be any trouble."
"My subordinate understands."
Youmu immediately mobilized manpower and arranged for the palace soldiers to patrol.
Youhuang came back to see Shen Zhaojun, and then went to see the old lady before returning to Wangshu Tower.
When he returned to the bedroom upstairs, he saw all kinds of fabrics in the room. He yawned and said, "Who sent these fabrics? What are they for?"
"The mansion is preparing to make spring clothes. Madam doesn't know what kind of fabric the young lady likes, so she sent the fabric over for the young lady to choose for herself." Xuan Bing explained as he took off Youhuang's school gown and ordered the little maid to take care of it so that she could wear it again tomorrow morning.
You Huang said lazily, "I don't have much chance to wear new clothes when I go to school every day. I can just pick out some comfortable fabrics to make daily clothes, and make one or two sets of clothes for meeting guests. Can I make two more sets of school clothes with similar fabrics? Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable wearing them for half a month."
"I will report back to Madam tomorrow and have someone find similar fabric to make two more sets of school uniforms. I will measure the sizes later."
Xuan Bing remembered You Huang's requests one by one and said with a smile: "The bath water is ready. Go take a bath first, and then you can eat the food cooked in the small kitchen."
"I ate outside..."
"I have eaten Uncle Guan's barbecue. It satisfies my cravings but it doesn't fill me up."
You Huang was interrupted by Xuan Bing just as she was about to speak. She continued, "I asked someone to cook seafood porridge. Miss, do you really not want to have a bowl?"
"Seafood porridge, how about some?" When he heard it was seafood porridge, Youhuang felt that he could still eat a little more.
Barbecue is indeed not as filling as carbohydrates, and she didn't eat anything today, so she deliberately avoided thinking about the fact that she didn't need to eat.
After taking a bath and eating, Youhuang went to bed. With her cultivation level, she could hear most of the sounds in Tiandu City. The city was indeed not peaceful at night. From time to time, she could hear the sounds of fighting and people shouting for help.
She was not in a position to interfere in the affairs of mortals, so she simply created a small barrier for herself to block out all the sounds from outside.
The next day, when Chu Ce was not seen at breakfast, You Huang felt a little strange but did not ask. Then he heard Shen Zhaojun say, "Last night, there was a big commotion in the city. The patrol battalion came to ask for help. Your father couldn't refuse, so he could only take people out to help. He came back at dawn, changed into court clothes and hurried into the palace."
"Was there a lot of noise last night?"
Youhuang heard the noise, but didn't expect to alarm the empress.
Shen Zhaojun sighed and said, "I heard from your father that someone was killed. The family members of the deceased are all prominent people in the city. The children of court officials were also beaten. It seems that the two gentlemen Gong Xue were also innocently implicated and are now temporarily locked up in the government jail."
"Which two gentlemen are they?" When You Huang heard that Mr. Gong Xue was implicated, he immediately thought of Yan Rong and Murong Xuan.
"Your father didn't say who it was, so it must be a gentleman he didn't know." Shen Zhaojun's answer made You Huang breathe a sigh of relief. If something happened to Yan Rong and Murong Xuan, it meant that Uncle Guan might also be implicated.
After breakfast, Shen Zhaojun clapped his hands.
A man and a woman walked in from outside. They looked younger than Xuanbing, Tingxue and the others.
Shen Zhaojun said to his daughter apologetically, "Last night, the elite cavalry followed your father out to patrol the city, and Xuanbing and Tingxue took care of the affairs in your room. Let them escort you to the palace school today. They will be your guards from now on. You can give them names on the way."
"I don't need anyone to protect me..."
"You can't attack mortals, but they can."
Shen Zhaojun tried hard to accept the fact that her daughter was a cultivator, which made it easier for her to send two more people to stay with her daughter.
You Huang thought it made sense. It would be better to lead them out to charge than to have a group of elite cavalry following behind. He rinsed his mouth and went out with the book box. The carriage was already waiting outside.
Before the others came out, You Huang looked at the two of them and said, "I'm a bit lazy. If your original names are still acceptable, use them. If you don't like your original names, I'll give you new ones."
The man was a little older, but no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, and the woman was probably about fifteen or sixteen.
The two looked at each other, and the man spoke first: "Before we joined the training, we forgot our previous names. Now that we remember our numbers, please give you names, young lady."
You Huang saw that one of them was wearing green and the other was wearing red, and without hesitation he said to the man, "Since you are wearing green, I will call you Qing Feng, which means the wind of green maple leaves."
"Since you are wearing red clothes, you can be called Red Leaf." You Huang said with a smile: "Green maple will turn into red leaves in autumn. It is your fate."
"Qingfeng greets the girl!"
"Red Leaf meets the girl!"
When they heard the name, they accepted it without thinking.
Chu Yunduan and Chu Yunze happened to come out. Seeing this, Chu Yunze couldn't help but teased, "Third Aunt has finally let down her guard against you and stopped sending a group of elite cavalry to watch you go out."
"Madam Hou said that the patrol camp came to ask for help last night, and the elite cavalry followed Dad out." You Huang said to Qing Feng and Hong Ye, "The calm and composed one is the Third Young Master, the one who is always dressed up is the Fourth Young Master, and the one who will come out later is my cousin Chu You You."
"I greet the Third and Fourth Young Masters!"
The two men greeted each other immediately, and Youhuang also said to the brothers: "Qingfeng, Hongye, these are the guards that Madam Hou arranged for me."
When Chu Yunze heard that the elite cavalry had gone out, he stroked his chin and said, "Even Third Uncle has come out in person. It seems that there was quite a commotion outside last night."
"The Marquis's wife said that someone was killed, and it was reported to His Majesty." You Huang told the two brothers the news he had heard. He wanted to say that Mr. Gong Xue was also implicated, but he stopped when he saw Chu Youyou coming out.
"Let's go to school."
