Chapter 147 Chu Yu
If they knew, they'd probably go crazy.

After all, she had schemed and plotted to obtain the position of Li Tian'ao's original wife after her rebirth.

But now it has still been taken away by Lin Qingru.

Li Tian'ao, who kept saying he loved her and would be devoted to her, could abandon his pregnant wife without hesitation when he met a beautiful woman or someone who could help him in the future.

In fact, if Li Tian'ao were to hold a selection of women after ascending the throne, Tang Xiyue wouldn't think anything of it, no matter how many women he selected.

but now……

Li Tian'ao was just a farmer's son!
The words they had spoken so sweetly before were now hard for Tang Xiyue to accept.

However, Tang Xiyue was unaware of these things at the time.

She was still thinking that when Li Tian'ao returned from his struggle and ascended the throne, she would become the empress and the child in her womb the crown prince.

As the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) approaches, many students are flocking to the capital from all over the country.

At this time, in a secluded inn on the outskirts of the capital.

Kong Dezheng took a towel that had been wetted and wrung out from a basin of water and draped it over the young man on the bed.

If you look closely, the young man on the bed is wearing a blue robe embroidered with green bamboo, simple yet elegant.

Just like him, his features were refined and otherworldly.

The young man's lips were slightly pale and chapped, perhaps because he was ill.

His hair was loose and long, and at first glance, someone who didn't know better might mistake him for a girl.

"Chu Yu, you have to wake up, otherwise, I really don't know what to do. How am I supposed to explain this to my aunt?"

Perhaps his mutterings seemed to have received a response.

In the afternoon, the young man on the bed, Chu Yu, trembled his long eyelashes and finally opened his eyes.

"Chu Yu, you're awake! You're finally awake! That's wonderful!"

Chu Yu looked at the delighted person in front of her and recognized him as her cousin, Kong De.

"Cousin, what's wrong with me?" Chu Yu asked, his voice still hoarse from thirst.

Kong De quickly brought water and was about to help him up to feed him.

But seemingly hesitant about something, he ultimately didn't go forward to help him, but simply handed him the water.

Chu Yu also managed to sit up on her own.

I felt a little better after drinking some water.

I also learned what had happened from my cousin Conde.

I traveled for over a month from my hometown of Huai'an Prefecture to the capital to take the imperial examination.

Chu Yu, who was in poor health, fell ill as soon as he arrived in the capital.

Conde, who came with him and also took care of him, was terrified.

They hurriedly rented an inn and found a doctor.

After a day and a night of hard work, Chu Yu's fever has finally subsided and he has woken up, which puts Kong De at ease.

"Cousin, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank goodness you took care of me this time, otherwise I..."

Before Chu Yu could finish speaking, Kong De immediately waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. When my mother was seriously ill, it was the money my aunt sent back that saved her in time."

"Moreover, my aunt has helped my family a lot over the years."

Because of his aunt, his parents are still alive, and his family is happy and prosperous.

"You must be hungry. I'll go find you something to eat." With that, Kong De left.

When he returned with a steaming bowl of noodles, he saw Chu Yu sitting in a chair, wearing an overcoat, studying.

A hint of heartache flashed in Kong De's eyes. "You're not fully recovered yet. You shouldn't have gotten out of bed, and you shouldn't have started reading so soon."

Chu Yu knew his cousin meant well, but...

"Cousin, the imperial examination is about to begin, and time is running out. I've also been sick lately. If we don't hurry, I'm afraid..."

“All I know is that your health is the most important thing! And the exam period is so long, how can you get through it without good health? You don’t believe you’ll fall ill again halfway through, do you?” “Cousin, you’re so capable and hardworking, a little extra time won’t make a difference.”

In the eyes of Kong De and his family, Chu Yu was the reincarnation of the God of Literature, the most intelligent person imaginable.

Indeed, that is the case. Otherwise, Chu Yu would not have become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial examination) at such a young age, whereas before he was the Jieyuan (the top scorer in the provincial examination).

Under Kong De's persuasion, Chu Yu finally put down the book in her hand.

In fact, given his abilities, he really doesn't need to study at this time.

Only when he held a book could he calm his agitated mind.

Chu Yu ate noodles with her cousin. Because she had sweated, Chu Yu felt unwell, so she asked Kong De to have the waiter bring water.

He wanted to take a bath.

Inside the wooden tub, hot water steamed, the rising steam blurring Chu Yu's face.

On the chair next to him were Chu Yu's clothes that she had taken off.

If you look closely, you can see a white strip of cloth on it, which looks like a girl's bra.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yu finished bathing and got up.

He took a towel and wiped his body.

If anyone were here at this moment and saw this scene, they would definitely realize that Chu Yu was not a man, but a beautiful young woman!

Chu Yu wrapped her chest binder around and around before finally putting her clothes on the bed.

He pushed open half of the window. It was already evening, and the gentle, cool breeze soothed the heat in his heart.

"Will I be able to pass the test as I wish?"

"Why can't women participate in the imperial examinations?"

Chu Yu's eyes were filled with confusion.

Yes, Chu Yu is a woman.

Chu Yu's mother was the wife of Chu, the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture.

More than twenty years ago, Prefect Chu was just a minor official who had just passed the imperial examination. He fell in love at first sight with Chu Yu's mother, Kong Xuan.

He resolutely married Kong Xuan, who was just a peasant girl.

However, as time went by, and as Chu Hanwen's desire for power and status grew, this relationship gradually diminished.

The turning point came shortly after Kong Xuan found out she was pregnant.

Chu Hanwen informed Kong Xuan that he was going to marry a second wife.

Yes, it means marrying a wife, not taking a concubine.

In other words, she is a concubine.

Chu Hanwen's notification was merely an announcement, not a discussion.

No matter how heartbroken and sad Kong Xuan was, Chu Hanwen still married the daughter of a high-ranking official who could help his career.

After the woman entered the room, she provoked Kong Xuan at every turn, but Chu Hanwen ignored her.

Even during Kong Xuan's late pregnancy, Chu Hanwen made a promise to that woman.

If Kong Xuan gives birth to a daughter, then Kong Xuan will be demoted to a concubine!

If the woman gives birth to a son, Kong Xuan will become the concubine after the woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to the son.

Kong Xuan was heartbroken over Chu Hanwen. If it weren't for the child in her womb, she would have really wanted to leave.

But for the sake of the baby in her womb, she endured it in the end.

And she also hoped that she would have a son in her belly.

It wasn't that she disliked her daughter; in fact, Kong Xuan loved her daughter very much, but... only a son could prevent her from becoming a concubine.

Firstly, Kong Xuan could not accept being a concubine.

Secondly, if she were to become a concubine, she would have less power and a lower status, making it even harder for her to protect herself and her daughter.
