Chapter 161 Learning and Putting It into Practice

The carriage that Xie Yuanshuang was riding in was shrouded in a thick yin energy. No matter how fast or slow the horse ran, it could not break out of its envelopment.

The closer we got to the Ministry of Works, the more restless the horse became, even starting to emit a low, continuous snorting sound...

The people who were accompanying them all frowned in unison, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Upon learning that Xie Yuanshuang would deliver part of the donation silver on behalf of Princess Zhaoning today, Li Chenglan put aside his other official duties and waited at the yamen gate early.

He deliberately did not wear an official robe. His black hair was neatly fastened with a jade crown. He deliberately pulled open his dark fur cloak to reveal his sky-blue brocade cotton robe embroidered with silver threads and plain round patterns, as well as the light blue jade-studded belt around his waist.

He holds his head high and looks pretentious... as showy as he can be.

Seeing Xie Yuanshuang and his group getting closer and closer, Li Chenglan rubbed his hands nervously. Just as he raised his foot to greet them, the horse driving the carriage let out a startled cry without any warning.

“Wheeze~~!”

The next moment, the frightened black horse suddenly turned around and galloped away.

Li Chenglan's face turned serious and he subconsciously chased after him. However, he had only taken a few steps when he was knocked out by the coachman who had thrown off the carriage.

In the carriage, Xie Yuanshuang was pale and curled up in a ball, his hands tightly grasping the bulges on the wall, his eyes full of fear and despair.

"Shuang'er... my dear Shuang'er, finally no one is disturbing us! My last name is Xu and my name is Kui. Do you still remember me?"

Xie Yuanshuang: “…”

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. After tonight, you will be my bride. We will have plenty of time to spend together. You can slowly get to know me..."

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

The man's hollow and vague voice and strange laughter made Xie Yuanshuang's scalp tingle and the hairs on his body stand on end.

Her face was as pale as paper, and she seemed to be terrified to the extreme. She tried to raise her hands to cover her ears several times, but the carriage was running at full speed and the body was shaking constantly, so she couldn't do it at all. She could only look around in horror.

"Who is it? Who is Xu Kui? Why are you pestering me? What grudge do I have against you?" Xie Yuanshuang asked loudly, suppressing her fear.

"Good Shuang'er, throw away all the talismans on your body, and I will tell you everything, without missing a word, okay?"

The ghost's voice became more and more wanton with a coaxing tone.

"Shuang'er, be good! Shuang'er, be obedient..."

"When you marry Xu, I will definitely love you well..."

"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!!" Xie Yuanshuang trembled with fear.

"I, Xie Yuanshuang, have never known you!"

"You insulted my reputation and deceived a three-year-old child, saying that you had an affair with me... You are such a despicable villain. I didn't know you when you were alive, and now that you are dead, I don't want to have anything to do with you!"

"If I can't survive today and can't escape your scheme, I will definitely sue you in the underworld and have you go to the hell of tongue-pulling, where you will never be reincarnated!!!" Xie Yuanshuang's eyes were filled with cruelty, and he even had the intention of destroying himself and the enemy together.

"You are a divorced bitch with no one to rely on...you don't know what's good for you!" The scholar ghost was angry.

Then there was a terrifying roar, and the horse became even crazier, neighing and galloping towards the outside of the city.

However, it seemed as if the people around were completely unable to see all of this, which was extremely strange.

…

Li Chenglan ran all the way to the intersection, looking at the direction where the carriage disappeared. He felt as if he had been hit hard and staggered twice.

There was nothing unusual around, so why did the carriage suddenly get startled?

What to do? ?

Go to the Bingmasi, yes, the Wucheng Bingmasi is responsible for patrolling the streets. Even if Li Chenglan's face is not big enough, it is Princess Zhaoning's people who are lost, I don't believe they will not care!

Li Chenglan ordered the servant to bring the horse over, and gave a few instructions to the people traveling with Xie Yuanshuang, asking them to report to the Five Cities Military Department as soon as possible. Then he jumped on the horse and chased after them regardless of anything, following the wheel tracks.

The guards traveling with him did not obey Li Chenglan's order, but went directly to Hongwenguan.

What happened just now was obviously weird. Ordinary people can’t do anything about it!

`ヽ(ω)ゝ`

Little Tangbao went to the school reluctantly, opened the door, and was stunned.

Except for a few girls in the corner, the class is full of little bald heads. The morning light shines through the curtains and falls on those little heads, which is dazzling!

Ahem…

She coughed lightly a few times, greeted the doctor and the teaching assistant, and then, under the expectant gazes of the children, she ran towards Xiao Qingye with her short legs.

???

() Xiao Qingye's eyebrows curved, and he quickly stood up to move a table and benches for her and placed them next to his table.

That’s great! From now on, he will be Princess Zhaoning’s deskmate!

Princess Zhaoning is both brave and lovely, and is the best deskmate in the world.

Xiao Qingye rubbed his hands vigorously on his body, and when he felt it was clean, he smiled and stretched out his hands to Tang Bao:

"Hello, my name is Xiao Qingye. My grandfather passed away, and my father was a nobody. He was only given the title of General of the Cavalry. He had no other skills except for his fancy spear skills."

"We will be desk mates from now on. Don't worry, Princess. You are younger than me, and I will take care of you."

"..." The doctor on the podium trembled and put one hand on the table.

Good god, a second-rank military officer is considered useless... Then shouldn't all those seventh, eighth, and ninth-rank officials in their office be so ashamed that they want to hang themselves?

Tangbao: (′ω`)

"..." Xiao Tangbao's face stiffened slightly, and he forced an awkward smile.

This is so frustrating. How can I tell him that Tangbao doesn’t want to be his deskmate?

Tang Bao was just grateful that he had stood up for her that day and wanted to come over and say hello to him...

Hmm~

Although Xiao Qing had good intentions, she wanted to sit in a row with the gentle and beautiful young lady.

"Ahem!" The doctor cleared his throat and looked directly at Tang Bao, "Since you're here, take a seat quickly and don't disturb others."

"..." Tang Bao glanced at the female classmates reluctantly and sat down properly.

Before the class started, Zhilan and Zhimei quickly distributed the cakes that the nannies asked them to bring to their classmates.

It’s also thanks to Chengfeng that they were here, otherwise the two girls would have been either exhausted to death or anxious to death.

Chengfeng looked at the little bald man in the room, his face becoming increasingly grumpy. As he raged, he slammed the table...

"Listen up! If anyone dares to bully Princess Zhaoning again, His Royal Highness Prince Qing will not only make your parents' butts burst, but also make you all crawl here to kowtow to the little princess and apologize!"

-`(＃￣0￣)`???

The little kids were so scared that they shrank their necks, and the brave ones immediately wiped away their tears.

Woo... In less than a quarter of an hour, they had heard these horrible words twice!

Is Princess Zhaoning’s father a devil?

The doctor, who was already anxious to help the children prepare for class, was so shocked by what he heard that his mouth twitched.

He wanted to ask the person to leave directly, but when he saw that he also had cakes to buy, and double portions, his anger suddenly subsided and he kindly advised Chengfeng:

"Everyone is very grateful for Princess Zhaoning's kindness, but the students in the Hongwen Academy all come from extraordinary backgrounds. If anyone feels unwell after eating the little princess's snacks..."

"In short, to avoid trouble, it's better not to send imported items like this in the future."

What the hell???

Upon hearing this, Tang Bao stood up suddenly.

What the doctor meant was that someone would falsely accuse Tang Bao of poisoning them in the pastries?

That won’t do!

Little Tang Bao quickly glanced at the students in the school and said seriously, "Be a villain first, then a gentleman. The cakes I send out may not be of good quality, or there may be problems. You guys should decide for yourselves. If there are any problems, you will be responsible for them and you are not allowed to cause trouble for me!"

The little guy speaks in a baby voice that makes one's heart soften and inexplicably makes one feel fond of him.

Especially her pair of lively eyes, blinking, against her fair and delicate face, making people unable to help but look at her a few more times.

The fat kid in the seat in front of Tang Bao liked this little sister more and more the more he looked at her. He quickly took out some cakes and took a bite. He stuffed his mouth full and spit out food crumbs while yelling, "To die under the peony flowers, with delicious food hidden in my belly, no matter how I act, I will be a playboy!"

Dr. Xu stared at him with his mouth slightly open, and then silently held his forehead.

"Silence! Everyone, be quiet!!"

"The doctor is right, everyone, be quiet!"

Little Tang Bao thought quickly and continued, "I don't want to affect the friendship between you and Tang Bao because of a piece of cake..."

"Now, students who have accepted the cakes, please take out a pen and paper, write a guarantee document, and put your fingerprints on it, promising that after accepting Tang Bao's cakes, you will be responsible for your own life and death and will never cause trouble to Tang Bao!"

Hearing this, all the children, whether they were willing or not, took out their pens and papers, "But, we can't write..."

"Master Ouyang said that it's normal for people our age not to be able to write. We can just trace." The little kid looked at the teaching assistant who had been indifferent to the matter, his eyebrows curved, and he said in a sweet voice, "Trouble you, Teaching Assistant Liu!"

Assistant Professor Liu: “???”

"Oh, okay, I'll teach you how to write each character one by one!"

Assistant Professor Liu curled his lips and forced a smile.

Haha, there's nothing he can do. No matter whether it's Prince Qing or Princess Zhaoning, he can't afford to offend any of them.

Master Ouyang, who was passing by, and Dr. Xu in the hall were both stunned.

The little princess is plotting something overt. This way, no one else will be able to do anything with the pastries.

But only she could take advantage of her power to bully others and come up with such a dirty trick. These children had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the pen!

hehe……

They had all heard about Princess Zhaoning donating silver to the people and signing a letter of guarantee, but they never thought that the little guy would use it for this purpose! ?

Now that they have received the pastries, do they want to write a guarantee document as well?

wrong!

This is school! School!! Why are you writing a guarantee letter if you don’t attend class properly?? This is ridiculous!!!

Pavilion Master Ouyang had a sullen expression on his face. Just as he was about to push the door open, someone grabbed his collar and threw him behind him.

He was about to get angry and ask who the newcomers were when several men in black robes pushed open the door of the school.

"Your subordinates are here to see the princess. We have something important to report!"
