The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Yeah." The man nodded.

"Your Highness, your way of comforting people is really special." Situ Yaorao smiled, picked up the note, and saw the three words "Don't be angry" written on it.

The handwriting is distorted, obviously because there is no desk here.

"I...I am very grateful for what you did before." The Seventh Prince looked at Situ Yaorao and said in a low voice.

"It's nothing. If it weren't for me, the prince wouldn't have been tricked. I should thank the prince for helping me get out of this situation."

"I'm just telling the truth. But... you look different from before. If it were you before..." The man didn't finish his words, obviously considering Situ Yaorao's thoughts.

"I was who I was before. After the Third Prince beat me that time, I came to my senses. Some things cannot be forced." Situ Yaorao was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

However, the terrifying thing is that the man believed it.

Looking at Situ Yaorao, the Seventh Prince suddenly felt that this woman was not as scary as he had imagined.

So, he took a tentative step closer. Seeing his movements, Situ Yaorao became interested and walked towards him. However, the moment he approached the man, he seemed to explode: "Don't come over here! Don't!"

The man's face was pale, his eyes hazy as he looked at Situ Yaorao, a phantom in his eyes. The fire that engulfed the entire palace, the woman's crazy laughter, and her farewell words that were almost a curse, all frightened him.

"Prince, Seventh Prince? What's wrong with you?" Seeing the man in so much pain, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but take a step forward. However, the next second, a sharp voice rang out: "Situ Yaorao! What are you going to do to my seventh brother!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Situ Yaorao froze. Turning around, she saw Princess Lianqiao, dressed in bright yellow, walking towards her. She looked at her and said, "Situ Yaorao, you are so bold! How dare you do this to my seventh brother?"

"What did I do to him?" Situ Yaorao asked back.

"You, you made him so miserable, and you still asked me what was wrong?"

"Pain? Oh, it does. But who told the princess that it was me who did it?" Situ Yaorao continued to ask.

"Besides you, is there anyone else here?" the woman asked.

"Isn't the princess also a human being?"

"You! You're making up stories!" Princess Lianqiao was enraged by Situ Yaorao. She said, "I've heard all those bad things about you before. If I'd come late today, wouldn't that scandal have happened again? I'm going to tell my father about your crimes and have him revoke your right to take the imperial examination." With that, the princess turned and left.

"Wait." The Seventh Prince's voice, mixed with forbearance, sounded. This voice stopped the woman. Lian Qiao turned around and looked at him worriedly, but she didn't dare to go forward. "You...how are you? Should I call the imperial physician?"

"Don't go. My affairs have nothing to do with her." The Seventh Prince explained with gritted teeth.

"Seventh brother, are you threatened by her?"

"No." The man shook his head.

"Then why should I help this woman explain? If she wasn't here..."

"This is my own problem, and has nothing to do with her." The Seventh Prince said, standing up, a little shaky. "I wanted to comfort her today, but I didn't expect that I am useless and still can't get close to women. If the emperor really wants to do this for my own good, please don't tell anyone."

"I, I understand." Princess Lianqiao said.

However, she also felt quite sympathetic towards this imperial brother. Just as women had their own tests, so too did princes have their own tests. And because of this strange fear of women, this imperial brother was afraid he would never be able to ascend to the throne. This was undoubtedly a blow to him.

"You'd better stay away from him." Princess Lianqiao looked at Situ Yaorao and warned coldly. Situ Yaorao just laughed when she heard it: "Princess, you are joking. How dare I get close to the Seventh Prince?"

"Hmph! Good thing you don't dare. Now come with me and don't disturb my brother here." Princess Lianqiao looked at Situ Yaorao and ordered. Situ Yaorao thought about it and was about to speak when she heard the Seventh Prince say, "I have something to say to her, so she can't leave."

The man's face was pale, but his attitude was resolute. Princess Lianqiao found it difficult to refuse, so she warned Situ Yaorao before leaving.

"Thank you." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and thanked him again.

"No need to thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been misunderstood by her."

"But I still have to thank you, Your Highness." Situ Yaorao insisted. Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince looked at Situ Yaorao and asked, "Am I weird?"

"Huh?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"How can someone like me who is afraid of even women be worthy of being a member of the royal family?" The Seventh Prince said self-deprecatingly.

"I think there must be a reason why the prince is like this. If he hadn't experienced something, how could he avoid women like the plague?" Situ Yaorao said.

"Maybe, but others don't think so."

"Why should Your Highness care about what others think?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile.

The Seventh Prince looked at Situ Yaorao for a long moment, then sighed softly, "I really want to see you closer."

"Then Your Highness, please come closer. I will stand here and will not move or run. I will stand here and wait for you." Situ Yaorao whispered to induce.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "It's useless. You saw it just now. If I get any closer, I'll get a headache."

"What did the prince see when he approached?" Situ Yaorao asked.

The Seventh Prince's expression suddenly changed, and he turned and left without saying a word. Situ Yaorao was confused by the Seventh Prince's strange attitude, but she didn't think much of it.

He just smiled and shook his head, then found a clean place to rest.

The women's exam was in the afternoon. Situ Yaorao sat under a tree, looking at the sun in the sky. It was dazzling, but she couldn't bear to look away.

Just when she was about to cry from the roasting, she felt darkness before her eyes.

"Get out of the way, don't block my eyes." Situ Yaorao said dissatisfiedly. The person who covered her eyes was a little surprised when he heard this: "Do you know who I am?"

"Aside from Tan Tai Wu Yue, there's no one else in this world who would be so rude to me," Situ Yaorao said coldly. Behind the tree, Tan Tai Wu Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Haha, aside from you, Situ Yaorao, there's no one else in this world who would call me rude." With that, Tan Tai Wu Yue released her hand.

He walked in front of the woman. Her beautiful eyes were so captivating that one couldn't look away.

Situ Yaorao looked at the man and couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Staring at people is not a good habit." Tantai Wuyue chuckled, squatted in front of her, and whispered, "It's addictive."

"Then can you?" Situ Yaorao asked back.

"If I wasn't addicted, why would I be looking for you all over the palace?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked with a smile.

"Aren't you going to watch the female candidates later?" Situ Yaorao asked.

"Yes, but I want to go with you."

"Then I will probably be torn apart by the woman who likes you. Those who like to supplement their brains might even think that I did something to you." Situ Yaorao said half-jokingly.

"I'm not afraid, are you afraid?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked with a smile.

"I'm scared." Situ Yaorao answered decisively, and this attitude made the smile on Tan Tai Wu Yue's face disappear.

"There's still no possibility between you and me. I can admit that I like you and I love you. But I can't be with you in front of others."

Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue fell silent.

"So, let's not get too close." Situ Yaorao said, then stood up and left.

"Don't go." Tan Tai Wu Yue grabbed the woman's hand.

"kindness?"

"Can you dance?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at her and said softly.

"I learned some from Nangong Ling before, what's wrong?" Situ Yaorao asked puzzledly.

"Would you like to dance for me?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked softly.

"Here? Why?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"Because this place is special," Tantai Wuyue whispered. But this attitude made it impossible for Situ Yaorao to refuse. Looking at the man's handsome face, Situ Yaorao felt a little dazed.

Even though he was in a trance, he still took out his fan and started dancing slowly and clumsily.
