Chapter 9: Crown Prince Chu Huai
Lin Ruoli lowered her eyes and walked slowly into the Imperial College, her steps neither fast nor slow, her eyes full of deep thought.
Although Yu Youning is unharmed now, after what just happened, Yu Youning has completely offended Zhai Heming and the Chengyi Marquis' Mansion.
He had just arrived at the Imperial College and had offended someone. If this news were to get back to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Yu Youning would definitely be punished by the family discipline tonight!
And Zhai Heming!
Zhai Heming grew up in a pampered environment and never suffered any grievances since childhood.
Now, not only was he beaten by Yu Youning, but he was also punished by the chief priest to copy it a hundred times. He lost face in front of so many people, and Yu Youning would definitely not be let off.
This little village girl is simply courting death!
...
Everyone else had left, and only Li Chengming and Yu Youning were left at the gate.
Yu Youning raised his head and looked at Li Chengming eagerly, "You are such a good person!"
He spoke up for her and punished Zhai Heming. He is a very good person!
Yu Youning's face was full of bright smiles, and her eyes, curved into crescents, were as bright as stars.
Li Chengming didn't smile, his expression remained expressionless. "Yu Youning, since you've come to study at the Imperial College, you're a student. You must study hard, avoid causing trouble, and get along well with your classmates."
Yu Youning nodded seriously, "I know! I will!"
The master said, "If others don't offend me, I won't offend others." She will definitely get along well with her classmates.
Seeing her sweet and well-behaved smile and soft voice, her whole body looked like a glutinous rice ball just out of the pot, so soft, Li Chengming's eyes also softened.
"That's all I need to know. Come on, I'll take you in."
"Thank you, Master."
"You should call me the libation."
"Alright, libation!"
Soon, they arrived outside the elementary class of Ruxingtang.
The Imperial College is divided into six teaching classes, and each class is divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced levels according to the learning stage.
There are nine desks in the room, two people at each desk, and eighteen people can sit.
However, these tables were not full. The people present were about the same age as Yu Youning, and the oldest was only about eight years old.
When everyone saw Li Chengming coming, they all stood up and greeted him, "Greetings, Chief Priest."
Li Chengming nodded slightly, "Everyone, take a seat! Yu Youning, you're short, so you can sit in the empty seat in the first row!"
Yu Youning looked in the direction and saw that there was only one empty seat in the first row, and next to it was Lin Ruoli.
Yu Youning laughed instantly, "Sit with Li'er! Great!"
"Zhu Xuezhen will be here soon. You guys can read some books first." Li Mingcheng gave the instructions and was about to leave.
But just as he finished speaking, someone appeared at the door.
But the person who came was not tall, and his facial features were young but delicate.
Seeing him coming, Li Chengming's expression softened a little and he nodded slightly, "His Royal Highness is here, come in!"
Chu Huaixu nodded, "I'm honored to meet the chief priest."
After saying that, Chu Huaixu started walking inside, but he stopped when he reached the first row, and happened to stop next to Yu Youning.
Lin Ruoli turned to look at Chu Huaixu, her eyes shining as if they were radiating light.
She wanted to laugh but was afraid of losing her manners, so she tried hard to hold it back, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Ruoli finally calmed herself down a bit and spoke in the most dignified tone, "Brother Crown Prince, you're here!"
"Um."
Chu Huaixu responded indifferently, but his eyes fell on Yu Youning.
Standing next to this little girl, he actually felt warm. This had never happened before in his life, and it shocked him greatly.
Back then, his mother was poisoned when she was pregnant with him. Although the master of Yaowang Valley was called in, the poison could not be completely removed.
Therefore, he was born with a cold poison, his body was very weak, and he was once on the verge of death.
The director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory spent ten years of his life to read his fortune, and calculated that "a girl with the destiny of a phoenix born at the first hour of the day of Guyu in the Jiazi year" is his destined lucky star, who can cure his congenital weakness and relieve the cold poison in his body.
Three years after he was born, it was the Jiazi year.
On the Grain Rain Day of that year, Lin Siqiong, the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, gave birth to a daughter, which was exactly what the director of the Imperial Observatory had said.
This matter is of great importance. No one else knows about it except the Supervisor and his father, the Emperor, and his mother, the Empress, so there should be no conspiracy.
As soon as Lin Ruoli was born, he often came into contact with her, and his health improved.
But over the past five years, my health has been up and down.
The supervisor couldn't explain why, but guessed it was because Lin Ruoli was too young and the two of them didn't have much time to interact with each other.
So last month, after Lin Ruoli turned five, he sent Lin Ruoli to study at the Imperial College. He also came to the Imperial College from the upper study room and sat at the tables in front and behind Lin Ruoli.
After spending more time in contact with it every day, my health seems to have improved slightly, but it is only relative.
At night, he was still shivering with cold, and even a room full of charcoal fires could not warm him at all.
But now, as he had just walked here, he felt warm.
This feeling is like taking a hot spring bath for the first time. My whole body is warm from the inside out, and I feel more relaxed than ever before.
Chu Huaixu didn't show it on his face, but there was shock in his eyes.
What is going on?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Lin Ruoli's voice again.
"Brother Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Huaixu's eyes flickered for a moment, but when he looked at Lin Ruoli, everything had returned to normal.
"Nothing."
Chu Huaixu said this and walked naturally to his table and sat down, but his eyes fell on the little girl.
As he was staring at her, the little girl suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Yu Youning's eyes are big and round, and she has double eyelids, just like a cat's eyes.
She has fair skin and delicate features, but her chubby cheeks make her look pretty and cute, like the Fuwa beside the God of Wealth, making people want to reach out and pinch her face.
Although Chu Huaixu did not take any action, he twirled his fingers.
Yu Youning had no idea what Chu Huaixu was thinking. She stared at him, her big eyes full of confusion. "Why are you staring at me?"
After hearing Yu Youning's words, before Chu Huaixu could reply, Lin Ruoli spoke coldly, "Youning, don't be rude. This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince isn't looking at you."
Yu Youning is just a little village girl. How could the prince stare at her?
She must have known the Crown Prince's identity and wanted to curry favor with him, so she made small talk and deliberately tried to get close to the Crown Prince.
She really underestimated this little country girl!
The more Lin Ruoli thought about it, the colder her eyes became. If possible, she would have wanted Yu Youning to disappear right here.
Yu Youning tilted her head, blinking her big eyes, "But he did look at me! Tell me yourself, were you staring at me?"
