More than half of the palace maids who had not served the eldest princess well and even insulted and abused her in private were beaten to death by the Queen Mother Lu. The remaining small number of palace maids were originally responsible for tending flowers and trees and cleaning the courtyard at the eldest princess and her daughter's home. They had never insulted or abused the eldest princess, but they were still sent to the imperial mausoleum by the Queen Mother Lu to guard the tomb.
No one wanted to be beaten to death, nor did they want to be sent to guard the imperial mausoleum at such a young age, so when they first saw Yu Zizhen, they were scared out of their wits.
They didn't dare to argue, and they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed hard.
Yu Zizhen ignored them. She walked over and took the eldest princess's bookcase with a smile. "It's heavy, isn't it? I'll have someone make you a schoolbag when we get back home."
Anyway, the eldest princess doesn't need to carry pens, ink, paper and inkstone back and forth every day. All she needs to take back to the harem are books and homework assigned by teachers. A schoolbag is enough for her.
Yu Zizhen even thought that he could make her a bicycle with wheels and a pull handle so that the little girl could pull it by herself.
The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief. She moved quickly on her little feet and followed Yu Zizhen to the south study. "School...bag? What is that?"
Yu Zizhen then made up a story: "It's a bundle for holding books, but it's not completely open like the bundles we usually use. Instead, half of it is sewn shut, and the other half is fastened with buttons or ties. It's semi-enclosed."
The eldest princess nodded, not quite understanding, then looked back with a slightly troubled look at the palace servants who were still kneeling there, not daring to move, "They...are we just going to leave them like this?"
Yu Zizhen glanced at the palace servants and said, "After we finish our morning classes, I will come here with you again."
Let them kneel for a whole morning, and then use the excuse that the eldest princess has pleaded for them, so that they will have to accept the eldest princess's favor whether they are willing or not. In this way, if they are smart, they will not dare to show their disrespect to the eldest princess so obviously in the future.
Yu Zizhen did not tell the eldest princess that the reason she was willing to do more for the little girl was because she had the system, a gossip expert.
If the system had not broadcast the event live to her, she would not have known that the eldest princess's weak mother who always knew how to cry actually had the ambition to make her a concubine and compete for favor.
But as the eldest princess said, she would not help with such a thing.
If that woman wanted financial assistance, she would be willing to help her for the sake of the eldest princess, but Yu Zizhen would never get involved in helping her win favor and improve her rank.
Firstly, if she got involved, the eldest princess and her daughter would most likely be killed by Xiao Lu. After all, she would never allow an annoying person with ambitions to compete with her for favor to appear in the harem. Secondly, that Concubine Zhang was not important enough to her to the point where she would have to repay the emperor for her kindness.
She would not do such a favor for Concubine Zhang, but the eldest princess's protection of her made her like the child even more.
The two entered the classroom one after the other, and were greeted by the curious gazes of Xiao Yuanjin and others and the fleeting look of inquiry on Wu Mingyu's face.
Yu Zizhen pretended not to notice Wu Mingyu's uncomfortable and obscure gaze. She greeted her friends enthusiastically and even took the time to answer Chen Hushan's questions.
Chen Hushan asked her, "Why did you come here with the eldest princess?"
Yu Zizhen didn't hide it from him, "I went to pick her up."
Chen Hushan looked a little strange, "You..."
Yu Zizhen knew at a glance that Chen Hushan was imagining something outrageous. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't."
Before others could react, Wu Mingyu became uncontrollably excited, as if he had discovered a new world.
If Yu Zizhen really wanted to marry into the royal family, then the Lu family he served could also take the eldest princess in under their name.
Directly binding the Prince of Zhenbei through marriage and taking him away from the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjin is much faster, more convenient and more effective than Wu Mingyu racking his brains to build good relationships with Xiao Yuanjin and Yu Zizhen, and then leading them astray without leaving any trace.
It is far less cost-effective to destroy Yu Zizhen than to recruit him for one's own use. As for the eldest prince, if his greatest support is taken away, won't he just become the useless prince again? In addition, he has to endure the mental blow of being betrayed by Yu Zizhen this time. Wouldn't it be unreasonable for him not to become completely decadent?
Wu Mingyu was very excited about his own fantasies, but he didn't know that Yu Zizhen, despite her seemingly young body, was actually an older single woman with ordinary sexual orientation.
She is a female with a male orientation, just an ordinary person among the countless people.
After Yu Zizhen and the eldest princess took their seats, the Hanlin scholar in charge of their morning classes slowly walked into the classroom.
Everyone stood up and bowed to greet the gentleman. Of course, Xiao Yuanjin, who was still pretending that he had difficulty walking, did not "stand up".
The teacher smiled and gestured for everyone to take a seat, then took out a book and began to teach the older children, led by the eldest prince.
After finishing the lesson and giving them homework, the teacher began to guide the second prince and the eldest princess to learn to read.
More than ten days passed like this, and everyone attended classes as usual, and no one caused any trouble.
During this time, everyone lived peacefully together in the elementary school of the Southern Study. Wu Mingyu, relying on his warmth and enthusiasm, quickly infiltrated the inner circle of the small group headed by the eldest prince, Xiao Yuanjin.
Wei Heng, who also had something to ask for, also became familiar with everyone during this period, but he couldn't do what Wu Mingyu did, following Xiao Yuanjin and the others like a dog-skin plaster every day.
However, thanks to Yu Zizhen, who had his own system plug-in, Wei Heng was not excluded as Wu Mingyu had hoped.
Together with the second prince and the eldest princess, the two of them gradually integrated into the group of children in the Nanshufang Primary School.
Compared with them, Lu Heng and Wan Jingrong are the two who are on the outside. They only stay together every day and never "go along with the crowd" with Yu Zizhen and others. They look very arrogant.
Of course, this was not the first day that the two of them had this attitude, so no one thought it was strange.
What everyone found strange was why Wu Mingyu and Wei Heng did not hang around Lu Heng, a descendant of the Lu family, but instead kept trying to integrate into their small group that obviously did not get along well with Lu Heng.
Those who were more clever, such as Fan Zhongming, Yang Shixian and Chen Hushan, observed and pondered more on their own, and soon guessed the correct answer.
Those who were unwilling to figure it out on their own, or who couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it, such as Fang Huaiying and Xiao Shaoke, privately asked Yu Zizhen and the eldest prince respectively.
