Stop Bothering Me, Emperor

Chapter 11 - History

Each group leader went up to take the form to pass out to everyone. For the students who want to join the student union, they could fill in the form, while the students who don’t could just treat it as a paper to write calculations.

For the first student union, both first years and second years applied at the same time, as the selection of cadres do not factor in their grades. As a result, many students wished to sign up. Yu Tang let Song Xiao register a list according to the forms they handed in.

During the imperial court, Song Xiao was used to being ordered around by Yu Tang, and didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with it. Instead, it was the group leader Liu Lu sitting in front who couldn’t put up with it any longer. “I say, monitor, you can’t always bully Song Xiao, all the matters have been handled by him, who exactly is the class monitor?”

Qian Jiahui hurriedly elbowed his deskmate, hinting at her to stop talking.

What’s wrong with zhen’s wife copying down a list for zhen? Yu Tang coldly snorted, then looked at Song Xiao who was writing each stroke with difficulty… it really looked like he was bullied…

Song Xiao was copying enthusiastically when the paper under his hand was suddenly snatched away. He raised his head in befuddlement to look at Yu Tang.

“You be good and do your homework, let me copy when you’re done.” Yu Tang tossed his workbook at him, then used his own pen to imperiously copy down the name list.

The topic of students signing up, in other classes it would squander at least two days time period, the class monitor explaining first, then everyone would go on to discuss, a few would even call their parents at night to seek advice, and fill in the form on the second day. For Special Class One, the whole procedure was settled within one period. Without having even reach lunch break, Yu Tang had already passed the name list and forms up to the academic affairs office.

“So fast!” The teacher from the academic affairs office was very surprised by Yu Tang’s work efficiency, seeing that he had transcribed a name list, furthermore at the back there was even a tag that recommended who to enter which department, the teacher couldn’t help widening their eyes.

The student union’s definite departments weren’t finalized yet, during the meeting they had said that they would roughly refer to the other schools, setting up a Propaganda Department, Literature and Arts Department, and so on. Selected candidates will have to go through another selection, assigning them to a department was going to be such a headache. The opinion of the class monitor who understood their classmates the most, naturally they had a valuable input.

“Your work is always very wonderful, what’s your name?”

“Yu Tang.” His Majesty the emperor smiled modestly, ensuring he gave those few teachers in the academic affairs office a good impression. Then he quickly left, implying that he wanted to hurry back to study.

Waiting for Yu Tang to return to the classroom, Song Xiao just managed to finish the morning mathematics homework, while he was at it, he managed to copy one out, then it was time for lunch.

While walking to the canteen, Song Xiao kept having a feeling that someone was watching him, and even pointing at him, but when he turned around, those people pretended that they weren’t looking at him.

Yesterday, Yu Tang had treated him for a meal, so today Song Xiao was prepared to return the favor, animatedly swiping the machine twice in a row, but his counterpart seemed rather unhappy.

“Your Majesty, is there anything inadequate?” Dugu An looked at the frowning Yu Tang, and really couldn’t guess what had happened, so he could only utter an inquiry.

“How could zhen be supported by the wife!” Yu Tang threw his meal card onto the table, enraged.

Dugu An didn’t know how to respond, he wasn’t Cao Gonggong who knew how to console the emperor, he was just a secret guard… silently standing to the side, he raised his eyes to pay attention to Song Xiao’s safety, then saw four yellow-haired boys slowly gathering around the fruit section.

“This is something I want.” Song Xiao had just picked up a plate of sliced dragon fruits when it was snatched by someone, turning to look, he saw it was a tall, yellow-hair boy in a windbreaker standing behind him.

“Please, feel free.” Song Xiao frowned slightly, then turned to take another plate.

“That plate, I want it.” The man also snatched the other plate away, his lips curled, eyes condescending.

Song Xiao smiled, then picked up a plate, then passed it to the boy who had both hands full. “Do you still want more?” His manner as if taking pity on a beggar.

“You…” This member of 4G was Han shao, born with a pair of leopard eyes, looking a little irritated, and he threw the fruits in his hand onto the table. Seeing that Song Xiao wasn’t the slightest bit afraid as he had anticipated, he said in an exasperated and flustered manner, “Song idiot, did you really lose your memory or are you faking it?”

Fruits have always been well-liked by female students, and at this time there was already many people lining up at the fruit section.

“This student, if you’re hungry, I can forgive you for cutting in line, but speaking hurtfully to other people is not right.” Song Xiao deadpanned.

There was muffled sounds of laughter from within the crowd behind them, and a second year female student who was in a hurry to eat opened her mouth to mock them: “If you wanna fight then fight outside, other people are still waiting to eat!”

“Fine,” Han shao sneered lividly and nodded his head, “Tonight, after individual study session, come to the sports field.”

After throwing down the challenge to Song Xiao, Han shao confidently turned around and left. A group of girls watched them in admiration. When that person who was comparable to a model walked into the dining area, his foot suddenly slipped and fell to the ground with a ‘thump’.

“……” Everyone silently turned their heads.

Han shao immediately stood up and hatefully kicked the chopstick on the floor, and he didn’t even know who threw it!

Yu Tang calmly inserted the other chopstick into a slice of fruit that Song Xiao had brought over.

During the noon break, Song Xiao’s phone suddenly rang. He had to ponder for a moment before he remembered how to use it, raising a hand to pick up the call.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s dad,” The other side came through with Song Zicheng’s voice, “Dad will deal with the newspaper, you should just keep your mind on studying, don’t bother with it.”

“What newspaper?” Song Xiao was perplexed, the other side was quiet for a period, then without saying anything, he hung up.

The first period in the afternoon was history, the subjects for the first years’ semesters were all printed onto this book, from the Stone Age, up until right before the modern times, five thousand years of human evolution, changes of dynasties, all of them were included in it.

Song Xiao hadn’t gone through the history textbook yet, and when he opened it he unthinkingly flipped to the page that was about the Great Yu Dynasty.

Great Yu was considered one of history’s most prosperous dynasties, lasting for a long time. After the opening passage spoke of Taizi emperor, it focused on Great Yu’s most glorious period, ‘Jingyuan Period’ and ‘Jing’s Liberal Reign’, Jingyuan emperor’s portrait was distinctly portrayed in the book.

Song Xiao looked at the person in the portrait, and the feeling of being disconnected for thousands of years made him feel a little sorrowful. He couldn’t resist turning his head to look at Yu Tang who looked like he was bored to death while flipping the textbook.

“What’s the matter?” Yu Tang turned to ask, sensing his gaze.

“You look like this emperor.” Song Xiao pointed at the portrait of Jingyuan emperor. Even though he was wearing a gilded crown of twelve eastern pearls, the emperor’s youthful and handsome face was still visible.

Yu Tang looked at the book in Song Xiao’s hands then lowered his eyes to say, “You look like the empress.”

When the Liu Lu who sat in front of them heard this sentence, she nearly cried out in surprise, then used her elbow to stab her deskmate. Qian Jiahui turned around to look at them with an odd expression. Everyone knew that the famous ‘Wise Jingyuan Empress’ was a man. Just as Song Xiao finished saying Yu Tang looked like the emperor, this fellow then said that he looked like the empress, if this wasn’t flirting then what was it?

Song Xiao’s face immediately turned red. Even though he knew this was true, other people didn’t know… He pretended to curiously flip to that page, but realized that the next page was ‘Jing’s Liberal Reign’, there completely wasn’t a portrait of the empress!

Yu Tang didn’t know, only keeping his eyes fixed on the book in his hands at portrait of his original appearance, asking Song Xiao: “Tell me, when the Jingyuan emperor ordered his empress to be buried alive with him, do you think the empress would have hated him?”

Song Xiao looked at the textbook that had no mention of ‘buried alive’ and felt his eyes sour, hoarsely saying, “On the history book, it was written that the imperial edict wanted the empress to be the prince’s regent, so the empress had been willing.”

“Heh,” Yu Tang sneered. “How could history books be believed?” He knew that Song Xiao had some affections towards him, but that affection, definitely wasn’t enough for Song Xiao to want to be buried alive with him, it’s him who compelled Song Xiao to accompany him to death! Originally a moment’s greed, he said that willful sentence, yet he had never expected this reincarnation to remember his previous life, and now he didn’t know how to face him.
