Chapter 232

Not to discourage her, but with Nan Yue's score of just over 200 points, wanting to get into Jing University was simply a pipe dream.

"Uncle, I have classes and no time to accompany her. I'll find her a hotel to stay in, and you can let her handle the rest on her own!"

Nan Hao: "Yue Yue is very obedient. Take her with you to class, she won't disturb you. Your aunt and I aren't comfortable with her staying alone."

"Also, it's dangerous for a girl like Yue Yue to stay in a hotel alone. Let her stay with you."

Hearing the call end, Feng Qingyi looked at Nan Yue.

"Don't think you can pressure me by bringing up your parents. There's a hotel right next to our school, I'll book you a room there. Don't expect anything else."

"You can stay as long as you want, after all, it's your own money."

Nan Yue: "No, don't be so unreasonable!"

Feng Qingyi hailed a taxi on the street, pushed Nan Yue in, and sat down beside her.

Nan Yue was very dissatisfied, "Feng Qingyi, do you believe I'll jump out of the car?"

"If you want to die, then jump!" Feng Qingyi took out her phone and replied to Feng Qingci's message.

Seeing that Feng Qingyi had no intention of paying attention to her, Nan Yue started watching videos on her phone with the volume turned up. Feng Qingyi said, "Can you keep it down?"

Nan Yue heard Feng Qingyi's words but not only didn't lower the volume, she turned it up even more.

The Driver had to speak up, "Miss, could you lower the volume a bit? I can't even hear the engine. If we encounter any danger, I won't be able to react in time."

Nan Yue muttered something under her breath and put on her earphones.

Seeing this, Feng Qingyi leaned back against the seat.

The Driver successfully dropped them off at the entrance of Jing University, and Feng Qingyi led Nan Yue to a nearby hotel.

Although it wasn't a star-rated hotel, the environment was decent and the price wasn't expensive.

Feng Qingyi: "Take out your ID card and choose a room yourself."

Nan Yue glanced at Feng Qingyi, impatiently tossed her ID card on the counter, "One single king-size room."

The hotel receptionist prepared the room and handed the ID card back to Nan Yue, "How many days? WeChat or Alipay?"

Feng Qingyi pulled out Nan Yue's earphones, "They're asking you, how many days? How are you paying?"

"You're not going to make me pay for these few hundred yuan, are you? I don't have money!" Nan Yue said.

Feng Qingyi: "If you don't have money, you can sleep on the street tonight. I have no obligation to pay for you."

"Qingyi, why have you disappeared again recently? Where exactly are you taking your classes?"

Xu Linghe always felt that Feng Qingyi was being mysterious every day, often nowhere to be seen. She had been waiting for several days to discuss something with her.

Feng Qingyi: "I can't disclose that. You seem anxious, do you have something important to tell me?"

"...Qingyi, I... I want to ask for your help." Xu Linghe seemed a bit embarrassed to speak.

Feng Qingyi looked at her, "If you have something to say, just say it. If I can help you, I'll do my best."

"...Are you close with His Majesty?" Xu Linghe asked.

Feng Qingyi: "Do you have something you need to ask him?"

Xu Linghe said: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the harem is empty. In a few months, there will be a grand selection. Because of my father's position, I'm on the list."

"I noticed earlier that you seem to have a good relationship with His Majesty, so I was wondering if you could help me. If it's too much trouble, just pretend I didn't ask."

"You don't want to participate in the selection?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Xu Linghe said: "I love freedom by nature, I don't want to be trapped within palace walls for the rest of my life."

"Has the list been submitted already?" Feng Qingyi asked.

Xu Linghe nodded, "The Ministry of Revenue prepared the list a few days ago. The selection will take place next month."

Feng Qingyi thought for a moment, "So the only way now is for you to fail the selection?"

Xu Linghe nodded, "Yes."

"If you've made up your mind, I'll help you. But I don't know if it will work out as you wish, though I'll do my best."

Although she knew Xuanyuan Yan, their relationship was maintained solely through Qin Yuchuan's connection. She wasn't sure if he would agree.

"Qingyi, thank you, regardless of the outcome!" Xu Linghe said gratefully.

Feng Qingyi: "You can thank me after we succeed. Since you've told me, come with me to the palace."

"The palace!" Xu Linghe doubted her ears. Could just anyone enter the imperial palace so easily?

Feng Qingyi nodded, "Let's go! The sooner we resolve this, the sooner you can stop being so distracted."

"How are we going to get into the palace?" Xu Linghe asked.

Feng Qingyi: "How else? We'll walk in!"

"But not just anyone can enter the palace. Why don't we think of another way?"
