Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Yu Zhixi's previous articles were just practice pieces; the best way to gain influence is to participate in poetry gatherings.

After Sheng Yuan and Yu Zhixi made it clear that they did not want to inherit the throne, Yu Zhixi respected Sheng Yuan's decision. However, Xiao Hong's continued existence was still a potential problem.

Sheng Yuan once told him that Xiao Che's illness was due to the poison Xiao Hong had given him. However, Sheng Yuan was able to detoxify after acquiring this body, which meant that Xiao Hong wanted Xiao Che dead. Now, Xiao Che is Sheng Yuan in Xiao Hong's eyes, so Xiao Hong will also want Sheng Yuan dead.

Xiao Hong's ultimate goal is to inherit the throne, so who Xiao Che is is not important. What matters is who the crown prince is and who is blocking his path.

If you don't nip the problem in the bud, it will only cause endless trouble, especially if someone has already decided to kill you; they must not be allowed to live.

There are many ways to clean up the mess left by Xiao Che and restore the Crown Prince's reputation, and the simplest way for Yu Zhixi to help is to start with her own status as the Crown Princess.

He is a man, and no one would think he would become empress. If the crown prince ascends the throne, the best outcome would be to divorce the crown prince, return to the Yu family, and continue to be the eldest son of the Yu family.

Therefore, he did not need to follow the standards set by the Great Liang for a virtuous wife and mother, or to be a generous, gentle, and capable Crown Princess.

The evil deeds committed by the Guo family were made public, and everyone knew that Yu Zhixi had been confined to a remote courtyard and had not received any education since he was twelve years old.

In the capital city, where talented people abound, Yu Zhixi was like a blank sheet of paper. He wanted to make the most of the talent his father had given him.

Since no one in the Yu family taught him, if he didn't perform well at the poetry gathering, it could be blamed on Guo for locking him up. If he performed well, it would be because the Crown Prince taught him well, since he had been in contact with the Crown Prince of Daliang the most during this period.

If they can produce good students, how bad can the crown prince be?

When he learned that the person who saved him was Sheng Yuan, he wanted to do something for him.

But what could a blind man with little education and injuries do?

He just wanted to learn as much as possible so as not to embarrass Sheng Yuan. So he carefully recorded everything Sheng Yuan and Nuonuo talked about, as well as what Zhi Yuan sometimes discussed. Perhaps it would be useful, perhaps it could help Sheng Yuan, or perhaps it could help himself.

Although Sheng Yuan has no interest in the throne, he needs to secure his position as crown prince. So perhaps there is something he can do.

Yu Zhixi attended the poetry gathering with Nuonuo and Zhiyuan. Shengyuan was summoned by the emperor, who instructed him to keep Nuonuo by his side at all times. As for Zhiyuan, Shengyuan acknowledged her abilities, but her martial arts skills were not high. She had only learned some basic survival moves from Su Qi, and she did not have Nuonuo's ability to detect danger. Therefore, she was only there to give Yu Zhixi another person to do things for.

Yu Zhixi smiled and agreed.

Zhiyuan believed that her purpose in going there was to serve the Crown Princess and to let everyone know that the Crown Prince valued her highly. After all, she was the head maid of the Eastern Palace, and unless there was a special order, she generally didn't need to leave the Eastern Palace.

The Crown Prince is trying to support the Crown Princess.

She naturally had to complete this mission, hoping to see Su Qi afterward. Su Qi had been sent to investigate the Guo family and had been injured. She hadn't seen him since and didn't know how he was doing. He was a fellow villager she had finally found after being rescued by the Empress. She thought that as a fellow villager, she should go and check on him, but she didn't know where the guards were recuperating. It was better to stay put. Between a fellow villager and life, life was more important.

Sheng Yuan and the emperor talked for a long time in the imperial study. In the end, the emperor handed Xiao Xu over to Sheng Yuan, saying that Sheng Yuan and Yu Zhixi would take care of Xiao Xu in the future.

Just as Sheng Yuan was about to refuse, the emperor said that he could teach Sheng Yuan however he wanted, and that when he was well-taught, he would be relieved of his duties as crown prince.

Sheng Yuan agreed.

So he accompanied the emperor to Consort Xian's palace to carry her.

Consort Xian lived not far from Empress Zhang's former palace; she was also a pitiful woman.

Consort Xian is Empress Zhang's niece. She also has a lover, but she entered the palace by the emperor's decree and has now become Empress Zhang's shadow.

Because she doesn't love, she doesn't fight or compete.

The person she could fight for is long dead; there's no chance anymore.

The first thing she did after entering the palace was to deliberately fall into the water, ruining her health to the point of being unable to have children, and ideally, to the point of being unable to serve the emperor.

The only comfort I could find was having my aunt by my side to chat with.

After her aunt died, she became a mirror for the emperor to remember her aunt. She knew this, but it didn't matter. How could someone whose heart was dead care whether they were a substitute or not?

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince," Consort Xian, who was reading with Xiao Xu, hurriedly stepped forward to greet the person who announced her arrival.

"Xu'er greets Father Emperor and Imperial Brother."

"No need for formalities." The emperor's gaze softened upon seeing the two of them.

The emperor explained his intentions directly, but only stated that Consort Xian was in poor health and not suitable to take care of the children, and that her eldest son should raise her younger son. He did not mention the position of crown prince.

Upon hearing this, Consort Xian ordered someone to pack up Xiao Xu's belongings.

Xiao Xu had no idea what this meant. He naively walked up to Sheng Yuan and stretched out his arms to hug him.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Yuan bent down and picked up the little boy.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Sheng Yuan knew what he meant, so he said, "Xi Xi should be back by now. Your subject will take Xu'er and take our leave."

The emperor nodded.

Sheng Yuan carried Xiao Xu away.

Yu Zhixi's poetry gathering has also come to an end.

The results today were quite good. He initially just watched from the sidelines. After all, this new Grand Tutor was from the Lu family. The fact that a powerful family had invited him was only because of Sheng Yuan's influence. In short, this Grand Tutor Lu probably preferred that he be a figurehead here and not cause any trouble.

Few of the students present took him seriously; in their eyes, he was uneducated and a lesbian. But as the saying goes, "building up a tale by first shaming the reader," and that's how interesting stories often unfold.

Yu Zhixi's poem immediately drew everyone's attention to himself.

It amazed everyone.

However, some people still didn't applaud it, while others began to wonder about their own knowledge.

Yu Zhixi smiled at these people; this was a good start.

After several rounds of discussion, most of the students present came to acknowledge his knowledge.

Yu Zhixi knew that these people didn't have high expectations of him.

As far as Yu Zhixi is concerned, as long as his evaluation is not too negative, he has achieved his goal. He cannot become fat in one bite.

Grand Tutor Lu hadn't expected the Crown Princess to perform like this; she not only didn't embarrass herself, but she was actually quite amazing.

Everyone was surprised when Yu Zhixi said that he had been seeking advice from the Crown Prince all this time.

The Crown Prince's reputation began to change.

Around 3 PM, seeing that he had achieved his goal, Yu Zhixi decided to leave.
