The Imperial College's

Eps. 18: Internal Court

“Yunxi? Yunji?”

Huang Yunxi and Huang Yunji raised their heads. The two then smiled awkwardly, showing off their neatly lined white teeth.

“Dad,”

“Ayahanda.”

Two brothers then rise. After cleaning the clothes, the two looked down again. Bringing it to their father is too big. The invisible light from this figure of leader Dong Hua was too strong that his own son and daughter were unable to look at him boldly.

“What are you doing this morning? Why are you guys making a fuss in my palace?”

Eunuch Li who was standing behind Emperor Huang Yun Yi then whispered,

“Your Highness, it's best to finish inside only.”

“You two, come with me!”

“Good.”

The Emperor sat in his seat of greatness. Both of her biological children kneeled on the floor with their heads bowed. In this supposedly fresh and peaceful morning, he already had to interrogate the two people closest to him. The Emperor was about to go to the court of the palace, but was shocked upon hearing the shouting voice of a woman and a familiar man in the ears. Sure enough, it was his two children.

Now, the hall within Mingyan Palace felt more like a courtroom. The two main suspects have been arrested and are ready to be tried by a supreme judge. Although it does not present a witness, but concrete direct evidence certainly cannot make the two defendants out of punishment. Mistakes remain mistakes, if anyone should still be sanctioned.

The storm in the Emperor's palace and causing a commotion were offenses. Even if unintentionally, it should still be punished according to the rules. Huang Yunxi and Huang Yunji ran as good as heart in the courtyard without regard for ethics and forgetting customs. Although both of them were the Emperor's biological children, if not punished it would definitely be a matter of conversation. The officials and the people who know will doubtless question his decisiveness and leadership.

“You know what your mistake is?” emperor Huang Yun Yi asked his two sons.

Huang Yunxi and Huang Yunji nodded simultaneously.

“If you know, why keep doing?” ask the Emperor again.

“Ayahanda, I'm apologizing to brother. But, he instead chased after me and said he wanted to break my leg,” Huang Yunji replied frankly.

“Apologies? What was your mistake?”

“I gave the wrong tea to brother at the banquet. Brother can't drink wine, but what I give is a mixture between the two.”

“Yunxi, is that true?”

“Yes, dad.”

“Your sister is sorry. Why are you still chasing him?”

“Answer, dad. The result of that fake tea not only had an impact on my aching head and my body that was hot as if it was burning. I also almost lost something valuable if I didn't control myself.”

“What is something valuable you mean?”

Should Huang Yunxi answer that she almost lost her virginity because of that wine? Or should he say that a man of his father's trust slept in his bed as a result of the incident? Although nothing happened, it still could not be considered reasonable. Men and women should not be in the same bed if they are not married. If said, wouldn't it just ruin your self-image?

“Tell me honestly!”

“Ayahanda, when big brother has a headache, Vice Counselor requests permission to take him away to rest.”

Shit, Huang Yunji was telling the truth instead. This sister couldn't she be invited to cooperate? Instead of protecting her brother's reputation, she instead said everything clearly in front of their father. Finish already. Huang Yunxi did not know what else to do.

“Really?”

Huang Yunxi was silent. He was confused to say yes or no. His father's question was like a double-edged knife. Whichever side is used, it will still be dangerous.

Eunuch Li who had been out for a while suddenly entered. The eunuch whispered to the Emperor again,

“Your Highness, Deputy Advisor of the Royal Academy requests to meet.”

“One coincidence. Let him in!”

Not long after, Yuwen Yue entered into the hall of Mingyan Palace. The man immediately knelt down beside Huang Yunxi. Huang Yunxi was getting more confused. Be dead. It's all over today. This person beside him would definitely speak honestly to his superior.

“Vice Counselor, is it true that you brought my daughter to rest?”

“True, Your Highness.”

“Then, do you know what the meaning of something precious my daughter said?”

Yuwen Yue turned his head first to Huang Yunxi. The look in his eyes emitted a different radiance from ordinary days. I don't know why, today she looks so soft. The normally always cold and expressionless face was now slightly warmer and radiant, despite the dominance of a Yuwen Yue that people knew was greater.

Huang Yunxi sighed. Yuwen Yue apparently did not know the meaning of what was said. No, not not not knowing. The man may have been pretending not to know. An adult man may not know anything about the relationship between a man and a woman.

“Your Highness, the servants said that this morning, the Vice-Advisor came out of Liuli Palace.”

Fucking eunuchs! I cut your dick to the root!

Angry, annoyed and arrogant mixed into one. Eunuch Li had sharp ears as well. Huang Yunxi deliberately hid the fact that Yuwen Yue had spent the night in her palace well, but in an instant was instead pulled into a bright place by her. Had the Emperor not been here, Huang Yunxi would have definitely made Eunuch Li a target of his frustration.

He glanced at Yuwen Yue with the corner of his eyes. The man just fell silent like a rock.

“Vice Advisor, is that true?”

“Yes, Your Grace. I stayed at Liuli Palace. But, nothing happened between the two of us.”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi nodded lightly. Is this old man out of his mind? The words of his own son are not believed, but the words of the children of others are so appreciated! Indeed, nothing is more ironic than a poorly reputed princess going up against a deputy superior trust advisor.

“Yunxi, just yesterday you received a compliment. Now, you and your sister have made a scene in my palace. What am I supposed to do with you?”

“If father wants to punish, then just law.”

“It seems, you must be married immediately so that your attitude can change. Eunuch Li, immediately order the Ministry of Rites to prepare a warrant and preparations for the wedding of Princess Xiyue.”

Word ‘wedding’ is a nightmare in broad daylight for Huang Yunxi. He had already run this far, it was impossible to have to stop just because of yesterday's fate and today's events. Huang Yunxi took pains to avoid marriage to forge decrees, steal stamps and misbehave in the Royal Academy. He willingly endured insults and accepted the scorn of people who spoke ill of him, hoping that no one would be interested in him and his father would no longer think about marriage.

Nah! Huang Yunxi could not give up!

“No! Dad, I don't want to get married!”

“Yunxi, if you get married, your in-laws will definitely teach you well. You can serve your husband and his parents, build a family and get many offspring.”

“Dad, marriage is no joke!”

“I know. I never mess with my words.”

“Ayahanda, even though brother is very naughty and has done chaos, but forced to tie him to marriage is not too cruel?” Huang Yunji interrupted. He was not willing if this one and only brother got married out of Dong Hua.

“Your brother is very difficult to teach. Even the teachers of the Royal Academy just complain every day to me.”

“Your Majesty, can't you give her a little more time? Princess Xiyue will probably change in the future.”

If the system was still there, it was eager for Huang Yunxi to ask him to return himself to the real world whatever the risk. Or, he could ask the system to stop time so that he would have a chance to run away from this situation as quickly as possible, until he reached a place that the royal people and the Royal Academy could not reach.

The damn system had given him an acidic plot from the start. The mission details are unclear, the system is abandoned, and she still has to save herself from an unwanted marriage. What a wrong character selection. If you want to regret it now is of no use.

“Dad! I don't want to get married! If you keep forcing me, instead of getting married to the border, I'd rather just marry her!”

No one was not surprised when they heard Huang Yunxi's words. Everyone inside Mingyan Palace fell silent, trying to digest what they had just heard. Including Yuwen Yue, the person whom Huang Yunxi had appointed when the girl made her statement just a moment ago.

“Then, it is decided as such only.”

“Ayahanda, you agreed just like that?” huang Yunji asked with even more shock and disbelief than before.

“Your brother took the initiative to marry himself, how could I refuse him.”

“Your Majesty, did you not ask my opinion?” asked Yuwen Yue.

“Haish. You are my most loyal and kindest brother. My daughter has chosen you, so I trust her to you. Yunji, you as the crown prince are also playing around. Go back to your palace and copy the book of the Palace Rules twenty times and ponder the contents. Never mind, I'm too late. Those old foxes will definitely complain to me again. Eunuch Li, to the court of the palace now!”

Emperor Huang Yun Yi left just like that. Huang Yunxi, Huang Yunji and Yuwen Yue still did not believe in the reality that was happening. Just because of a small mistake, why did it come to this? Emperor Huang Yun Yi was like deliberately trapping the three of them so that the three could not dwell. He seems to deliberately make his daughter confused to choose himself.

“Huang Yunxi, what do you really want? Why did you set me up with you?” asked Yuwen Yue in surprise. With a worried face.

“Do not talk! I want to mourn my unlucky fate!” resolutely Huang Yunxi while adding a hand gesture.

“Punished for copying a three hundred page book twenty times, then my brother would get married and I had an older brother-in-law in the Royal Academy. Is this a disaster amidst the luck that the heavens gave me?”

“I'm the victim here. Why is the royal family so eager to tie me up?”

The three people within the hall of Mingyan Palace looked in turn, pondering over the fate of those who were either unlucky or lucky this morning.
