Chapter 294 Prince, long time no see
Yu Youning had a good idea, but when he went to the Imperial College the next morning, he neither saw Huo Qingchen nor Chu Huaixu.
Seeing that Zhu Xuezhen had already come in with the book, Yu Youning could only suppress the doubts in his heart and listen to the class attentively.
After not attending classes for such a long time, it feels quite strange to be sitting in the classroom of the Imperial College again.
This feeling is both familiar and unfamiliar.
I was very reluctant before coming here, but now that I am really sitting here, I feel a little more novel.
Although I don't like it very much, I definitely don't hate it.
What Zhu Xuezhen talked about is much more profound than last year.
They have started teaching the Four Books!
Although Yu Youning missed many classes, she has a photographic memory and strong comprehension ability, so she doesn't feel any pressure when listening.
Perhaps out of consideration for her, Zhu Xuezhen deliberately did not call her to answer questions, so the class was quite relaxing.
After class, before Yu Youning could move, Zhu Xuezhen came over.
"Youning, how does it feel to be back in class?"
Yu Youning opened her eyes wide and stared at Zhu Xuezheng without blinking, "Xuezheng, do you want to hear the truth?"
Zhu Xuezheng laughed again. "I'm just asking casually. You don't have to answer. Study hard. I'm still very optimistic about you! When you're ready to study, wait a moment. The Nan'an Palace will send over some freshly made snacks. You can take them home and eat them."
Yu Youning was not very happy at first, but after hearing this, he immediately became happy.
"Thank you Xuezheng!"
Zhu Xuezheng nodded slightly, "You're welcome."
As he spoke, Zhu Xuezhen walked away with his hands behind his back.
It's really not easy. If you want Yu Youning to study well in the Imperial College, you have to bribe him with snacks.
As soon as Zhu Xuezhen left, Su Miaoyun ran over.
"Youning!"
After not seeing each other for a long time, Su Miaoyun has grown a lot taller than before.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Su Miaoyun lost her teeth.
When she smiled before, her smile was always bright, with two rows of snow-white teeth directly exposed to the air.
But now, her smile has become like that of a real noble lady - without showing her teeth.
"Sister Miaoyun!" Yu Youning also responded with a smile, "Long time no see!"
Su Miaoyun snorted, "You've been back in the capital for several days, and I haven't seen you look for me. Now that you see me, you know how to say long time no see."
"Don't be angry, Sister Miaoyun. It's not that I don't want to see you, I'm just too busy lately! Look, I'm back to school now, so we can see each other every day!"
Su Miaoyun was not really angry at first. After hearing what Yu Youning said, she subconsciously smiled brightly.
But soon she remembered that she had no front teeth and quickly tightened her mouth.
This movement is extremely skillful, and you can tell at a glance that it is done frequently.
Yu Youning considered herself a good kid, so of course she wouldn't deliberately make fun of Su Miaoyun at this time. She just looked at Su Miaoyun and asked, "Sister Miaoyun, how are you studying lately?"
In the entire capital, Su Miaoyun was the only person who was fooled by her.
Now that almost a year has passed, she naturally wants to ask about the follow-up.
When this was mentioned, Su Miaoyun became excited and forgot that she was missing her front teeth.
"Youning, even if you don't mention it, I still want to thank you! It's all because of the cleverness you gave me, and the effect is amazing! My grandfather said that I'm like I've finally gotten smarter, getting smarter every day. Plus, I'm diligent and studious, and I work very hard. I'm no longer the worst student in my family! Zhu Xuezheng also praises me often!"
For Su Miaoyun, the most important thing is to be able to improve her reading skills.
Yu Youning helped her realize this wish, and she was extremely grateful.
The others listened to their conversation and their eyes fell on Yu Youning.
They didn't really want to get the injection at first, but after seeing the changes in Su Miaoyun over the past year, they were really moved!
It would have been fine if Yu Youning was not in the capital before, but there was really nothing we could do.
But now, Yu Youning is back!
Then can I talk to Yu Youning about this matter?
However, this matter cannot be discussed in the Imperial College, as Zhu Xuezheng does not allow it.
I can only tell my family after I get home.
Yu Youning had no idea what these classmates were thinking, she was praising Su Miaoyun.
"Sister Miaoyun, you don't need to thank me. Your current achievements have little to do with me. It's mainly because of you and your hard work."
The smart needle only gave Su Miaoyun an opportunity.
Su Miaoyun seized this opportunity herself and achieved her current success.
"That's not the case." Su Miaoyun shook her head. "Without your help, no matter how hard I try, I won't gain anything. I know how good you are to me!"
Seeing that Su Miaoyun was so serious, Yu Youning stopped arguing with her.
As long as the result is good, that’s enough!
Zhu Xuezhen happened to come back at this time, and everyone quickly returned to their seats and sat down.
Everyone sat up straight and looked at Zhu Xuezheng at the same time.
Only Zhai Heming was still turning his head and staring at Yu Youning.
Zhu Xuezhen was sitting there, naturally seeing all of this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
The morning's classes passed without any surprises or joys.
After school, Yu Youning and Zhu Xuezhen walked slowly towards the gate of the Imperial College together.
The two of them were walking the slowest, and the other students had almost walked.
But what surprised the two was that when they walked outside the Imperial College, they actually saw Zhai Heming.
Zhai Heming seemed to be waiting here on purpose.
As soon as he saw the two of them, he immediately came over to greet them.
"Xue Zheng!"
Zhai Heming looked at Yu Youning, not knowing how to start.
Just as he was hesitating, a group of carriages and horses gradually approached.
Just by looking at the style of the carriage, you can tell it's from Xiliang.
As expected, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Imperial College, the curtain opened, and Tuoba Ruoli walked out.
She stood on the shaft of the cart, and seemed to have no intention of getting down.
The shaft of the carriage was very high, and little Tuoba Ruoli could stand on it and look down.
Tuoba Ruoli smiled slightly, "Zhu Xuezheng, long time no see."
Zhu Xuezheng's expression didn't change much, his smile was polite yet distant, "It's indeed been a long time since we last met, but Your Highness is now completely different from before."
These words greatly pleased Tuoba Ruoli.
Tuoba Ruoli raised the corner of her mouth and said, "It's good that Xuezheng knows. I don't know if Xuezheng has ever regretted his attitude towards me that day."
"Where did you get that?" Zhu Xuezheng's face was filled with surprise. "Could it be that my attitude towards His Highness back then caused His Highness to misunderstand me?"
Hearing Zhu Xuezhen's question, Tuoba Ruoli did not answer, but his expression became even uglier.
Zhu Xuezhen still doesn't repent!
In that case...
A cold look flashed across Tuoba Ruoli's eyes, but soon returned to normal.
"Since Xuezheng can't remember, then forget it! I'm not the kind of person who would bother with trivial matters. I didn't come here today specifically to look for Xuezheng."
"May I ask what brings you here, Your Highness?" Zhu Xuezhen asked with a gentle smile.
"To meet friends, of course."
As he spoke, Tuoba Ruoli looked at Zhai Heming.
"Prince, long time no see, don't you want to say hello to me?"
Zhai Heming looked at Tuoba Ruoli with an expression even more complicated than before.
It was clearly the same face, but the feeling it gave him was completely different.
When did she become like this?
Or maybe she was always like this, but he just didn't know it.
This question flashed through Zhai Heming's mind and was quickly put behind him.
This is not the point, nor is it what he should focus on.
The point is, they were never on the same page.
Thinking this in his mind, Zhai Heming's eyes became clear and his expression became more serious than before.
"Your Highness is looking for me, but what's the matter?"
Just by hearing Zhai Heming's words, Tuoba Ruoli knew that Zhai Heming wanted to draw a clear line between them.
But how is this possible?
She came here specially to see him today, so how could she allow him to be so disrespectful to her.
"Yes, there are some things." Tuoba Ruoli said, "I want to talk to the prince privately. If you are free now, please come with me."
Zhai Heming frowned and refused directly, "I have something else to do. Your Highness, if you have anything to say, please say it here. There is nothing that cannot be said to others, and there is nothing that needs to be avoided."
Tuoba Ruoli's expression suddenly darkened. "So, you've made up your mind not to go with me, and to go against me?"
"I don't understand what Your Highness means," Zhai Heming said. "Your Highness said he had something to talk to me about, and I asked Your Highness to talk about it here. Is there anything wrong with that? Or is it that what Your Highness wants to say will be detrimental to Dayong? Then I can't go with Your Highness."
Hearing what Zhai Heming said, Yu Youning turned his head and looked at him.
How could Zhai Heming say such a thing?
But think about it, Zhai Heming is from Dayong, and his father is a marquis. It is not surprising that he has such an understanding and can say such words.
Tuoba Ruoli was so angry that his face turned blue.
She stared at Zhai Heming, and after a few breaths, she suddenly laughed.
"Prince Zhai, you don't want to be friends with Yu Youning, do you? Have you forgotten how you targeted her before? Even if you have forgotten, do you think she has?"
"What has happened is like spilled water or a shattered mirror. You can't fix it just because you want to."
"Although I am now the Crown Princess of Xiliang, we have known each other for a while. There is nothing wrong with meeting and talking. If you have thought it through, come find me at the Royal Post Station."
She no longer referred to herself as "Ben Gong" but instead called herself "I".
This will make the relationship between the two people seem closer.
