Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the day of the palace examination, the princes were also summoned to the main hall by the emperor.

The Seventh Prince, Luo Cheng, who had never appeared, finally stood in front of his brothers.

It was really awkward for the brothers to meet again after so many years!

The crown prince was a hypocrite, so when he saw Luo Cheng appear, he immediately acted like an affectionate brother.

“Seventh Brother, you’ve finally appeared! You’ve been gone for so many years, but you didn’t even come back to visit us even once. Father doesn’t say anything, but he’s actually been missing you!”

Luo Cheng sneered when he heard the crown prince’s words.

“Father has been thinking about me because he owed me a lot. As for you guys, you guys have indeed been thinking about me quite a lot. You guys know very well what you’re doing. There’s no need for me to say them out loud one by one! You guys don’t have to pretend to be nice to me. I only hope that you guys won’t think about me, who only wants to live a carefree life!”

Luo Cheng’s bluntness embarrassed many of them.

When the second prince received Luo Cheng’s provocative gaze, he immediately understood something.

Perhaps his Seventh Brother was behind the cheating scandal’s exposure.

At the thought of this, the second prince gritted his teeth in hatred

At this moment, the emperor walked in.

“Why is it so quiet?! Seventh son, you have to change your stubborn temper. Why do you look so sulky?!”

“Father, if you don’t want to see me, you don’t have to recruit me into the royal family! You know that I really don’t like the royal family! I have too many bad memories of it! Moreover, I really don’t want to interact with the people in the royal family! I just want to go back to my fief after my grandma’s birthday and live my life peacefully!” Luo Cheng said directly.

Before the emperor could react, Luo Cheng bowed to his brothers in the hall and said directly, “Today, I swear in front of you guys that I won’t covet the throne in my life. I only want to live a peaceful life. Please be magnanimous and don’t play any more tricks. You guys keep framing me or trying to kill me! I’m really not an enemy. Let me off the hook!”

At this point, Luo Cheng paused for a moment and began to threaten, “As the saying goes, he who is down need fear no fall. I only have a few relatives around me, but it’s different for you guys! If you dare to provoke me again, I might give you a taste of your own medicine. After all, you guys have many more relatives and friends than I do!”

Luo Cheng used politeness before resorting to threats.

The emperor was originally a little angry, but when he saw Luo Cheng’s actions, he admired him even more.

His seventh son really had the demeanor of his younger self!

“I’m warning you guys first. If you don’t listen, you’ll have to bear the consequences.

When the Third Prince, Ling Heng, saw this scene, he felt a little regretful.

He, who had some brotherhood with Luo Cheng, naturally knew about Luo Cheng’s talent and abilities.

If his seventh brother worked for the imperial court and the people, that would be the blessing of the government!

Unfortunately, his brothers couldn’t see this at all. They only knew how to indulge in fighting for power and scheming all day long.

The others felt differently

They could sense that Luo Cheng wasn’t joking, but warning them seriously.

It made sense. In terms of family, there were many more people around them than Luo Cheng.

If they really forced Luo Cheng into a corner, none of them would have it easy.

“Alright, this is the end of today’s matter! You have to remember that you’re brothers, so you have to think twice before doing anything. I called you here today to let you participate in the palace examination. After the examination, you can recommend students you think are good!” The emperor explained why he had called everyone here today.

As soon as he said this, many people started to plan.

Only Luo Cheng and Ling Heng were not anxious at all. Their expressions didn’t even change.

“Father, I don’t think I need to participate! After all, my fief doesn’t need any talents. It’s fine as long as we can get by!” Luo Cheng said directly, “It’s better for these talents to stay in the imperial court and work for you and the commoners. ”

Not knowing what to say, the emperor stared at Luo Cheng.

While Luo Cheng was in the royal family, Li Xiaoran went out to look for Meng Yan again.

When she saw Meng Yan again, Li Xiaoran felt that something was different about her.

“Why? Don’t you recognize me?” When Meng Yan saw Li Xiaoran’s hesitant expression, she took the initiative to greet her.

“No, I just feel that you seem to have changed into a different person!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she laughed.

“I’ve changed. After you enlightened me last time, I thought about it again and again after I went back. I really figured out a lot of things! I seemed to be living a carefree life, but I was actually pretending. It wasn’t until you said those things to me that I really thought it through!”

Li Xiaoran could feel Meng Yan’s relaxed and happy mood, so she was sincerely happy for her.

“It’s good that you’ve thought it through. In the few short decades of life, suffering and sorrow have already occupied a lot. If you don’t let yourself live a more relaxed life, how are you going to keep living on?! Tell me, why did you call me out today?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I really have something to tell you! I just don’t know how to start! Someone asked me to invite you to a gathering. Because I owe them a favor and can’t refuse, I can only brace myself and come to you!” Meng Yan went straight to the point. “Of course, you can refuse to participate. You don’t have to do it on my account. Do whatever you want. You don’t have to suffer for me! My friend doesn’t have to suffer for me!”

Li Xiaoran understood what Meng Yan meant and smiled.

“Looks like being your friend isn’t a bad idea! Sigh, there’s a cafe ahead. Let’s go in and drink while chatting! Tell me what this gathering is like first, then I’ll consider if I want to participate!”

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll treat you today!” Meng Yan was a straightforward person and agreed directly.

The two of them went to the cafe in front and chose a corner to sit in.

After ordering some juice and fruits, Meng Yan organized her words and explained the gathering to Li Xiaoran..
