Here, Jiang Muxue measured her body circumference, and Jiang Muyu instructed the servants in the mansion to move the jewelry to Qingyu Courtyard, and also send the jade headdress to Jiang Muxue's courtyard, and asked Yun Xuan to lead a group of shopkeepers to find the housekeeper to settle the money.
"Sister, you don't have to be too reserved when you come to the palace. If you want to go out and play, that's fine. I'll let Yunshan go with you so she can serve you."
Yunshan and Yunyan were both maids assigned to her by Liang Qingchen after she married into the palace. They were both specially trained, smart, capable, loyal, and both knew some martial arts.
Jiang Muxue nodded, "Thank you, sister Lao. I am really bored staying in the house."
"Then my sister will go downstairs to tidy up and go out for a walk."
"yes."
After Jiang Muxue left, several people left the West Guest House.
Jiang Muyu returned to Qingyu Courtyard to change her clothes, and asked Yun Xuan to comb her hair into a beautiful and decent bun. She then changed into a white gauze gown with a crescent-shaped orchid pattern before going out.
Liang Qingchen had just gone to the study and when he came out he met Jiang Muyu at a fork in the road. The couple then headed towards the gate of the mansion together.
Liang Jinghe's things were all packed up, and the servants moved them onto the palace's carriages. There were two carriages in total, the large one in the front carried people, and the small one in the back carried things.
Liang Jinghe was waiting at the door. When his parents arrived, he said, "Tangtang just fell asleep in my yard. I asked Yunxia to look after her."
Jiang Muyu nodded, "Then let your parents take you there."
"Um."
The three of them got on the carriage.
It wasn't far from the Rui Wang Mansion to the Imperial Academy. As it was called the Imperial Academy, the students there were naturally mostly members of the royal family, so the academy was not far from the imperial palace, and most of the teachers in the academy were junior tutors and junior tutors appointed by the emperor himself.
However, there were exceptions. For example, the legitimate sons and grandsons of high-ranking officials could apply to the emperor to study in the imperial academy. Zhao Qifeng, the legitimate grandson of Prime Minister Zhao, was a classmate of Liang Jinghe.
When they arrived at the Imperial Academy, Liang Qingchen personally helped Jiang Muyu get off the carriage.
At this time, a gorgeously dressed woman got out of another carriage nearby. She came over when she saw them, smiling, "I didn't expect to meet the King and Princess Rui here again."
Jiang Muyu looked over and immediately gave a friendly professional smile, "What a coincidence, I met my aunt here."
The person who came was Princess Jin'an Liang Wanshu.
Prince Rui had received special grace from the Emperor earlier, and in Tiangan Kingdom he only needed to pay respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so this time he only nodded slightly to greet Princess Jin'an.
And Jiang Muyu was blessed.
Liang Wanshu said, "I haven't seen Princess Rui for a long time. She looks even prettier now."
"You're flattering, Auntie. You really take good care of yourself. When we stand together, people who don't know us would think we are sisters."
Jiang Muyu's words were half true and half false. Although Liang Wanshu was already over 40 years old, she was wearing gorgeous clothes and accessories. She had never been exposed to the sun or the wind in her life, and her fingers had never been exposed to water. She looked like she was in her early 30s. However, the skin care products in ancient times were not very effective and the types were monotonous. No matter how well she took care of herself, she still got many wrinkles and her skin became a little loose.
But everyone likes to hear nice words, and Liang Wanshu is no exception. Hearing this, his smile became even warmer, "How can it be so exaggerated? My little granddaughter is almost as old as your son."
As they were talking, a little girl in pink clothes came over.
Jiang Muyu saw her and said with a smile, "Wow, the fourth young lady has become more and more graceful."
The little girl bowed shyly, "Huiran has met the prince, the princess, and the prince."
"No need to be so polite, Fourth Miss."
Princess Jin'an was married to the Duke of Qi, but her husband died early and she never remarried. The current Duke of Qi is her eldest son Xiao Jian, and Xiao Huiran is Xiao Jian's eldest daughter.
Jiang Muyu glanced at his son's expressionless face, then glanced at the shy Xiao Huiran, and sighed quietly in his heart: What a sin!
In the book, Xiao Huiran has had a crush on the hero since childhood, and is even willing to lower herself to become a concubine for him. Unfortunately, this is a sweet and petting novel. How could she possibly compete with the heroine who has her own halo? In the end, not only can she not enter the door of Prince Rui's Palace, but she is also defiled by a thief, her reputation is ruined, and she dies.
This setting makes her a cannon fodder female supporting role.
Jiang Muyu asked, "Aunt, are you sending the eldest son here today?"
Liang Wanshu nodded: "Yes, we two, the grandfather and the grandson, are here to see Yi'er off."
Xiao Yi, the eldest son of Xiao Jian, was twelve years old and also studied at the royal academy.
"It's getting late, let's send He'er in first." Liang Qingchen said.
Jiang Muyu said: "Then I will visit my aunt later."
Liang Wanshu: “Okay.”
The three of them led the servant into the Royal Academy. The entrance to the academy was guarded by guards with swords, and there were also supervisory officials on duty who were specifically responsible for checking who was entering.
The official naturally recognized Liang Jinghe and said with a flattering smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here."
Liang Jinghe nodded slightly and said, "My parents are here to see me off today."
The official then realized the identities of the two people behind him and quickly knelt down to greet them. "Greetings, Your Majesty and Princess. Please forgive me for my poor eyesight and for not recognizing you."
He was just a small official and he could not see Prince Rui on a daily basis, let alone the princess.
"It's okay." Liang Qingchen waved his hand, "Get up."
The supervisory official stood up and said respectfully, "Dear guests, please come in."
The supervisory official watched their receding backs, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then picked up the brush to register the people.
The Royal Academy was very large and had several colleges, similar to modern primary, secondary and high school sports schools. The children who studied here were either royal relatives or sons of high-ranking officials, so they naturally did not need to take the imperial examinations. In addition to learning the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, they also learned how to govern the country, as well as etiquette and music.
The largest area here is occupied by students, as they basically have one room per person, or at most two people per room.
It is impossible for princes and princesses to share a bedroom with others, and the crown prince and princesses all have their own room. Only the sons of some close ministers will live with them.
Furthermore, the maids, servants and bookboys' quarters are not far away, but a little crowded, with basically four to six people living together.
Liang Jinghe naturally lived alone in a room. There were a total of six rooms in this courtyard. In addition to a separate study and a bathroom, there were four side rooms. Simply put, they were all occupied by relatives - his three cousins.
At this time, there were already two princes sitting under a tree in the courtyard playing chess. When they saw them, they all came forward and said in unison, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Jiang Muyu bowed and said, "I have met the two princes."
Liang Jinghe also bowed.
In fact, Jiang Muyu had already complained in her heart about how there were so many broken rules in ancient times. One had to be polite to everyone they met. However, the system and etiquette were strict and she could not control them. It was one thing to complain silently, but she still had to abide by the rules.
The two are the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince. The Fifth Prince is born to Concubine De, while the Sixth Prince is the second son of the Empress.
The Sixth Prince asked, "Why did the Imperial Uncle and Imperial Aunt personally send Jinghe to the academy today?"
The fifth prince was also puzzled. Liang Jinghe had been in the academy for more than a year, and this was his first time.
Jiang Muyu said, "There's no special reason. It just happened that the prince was on leave today and I had nothing to do, so I came to see him."
Liang Jinghe ordered his servant to put all his clothes and gifts into his room.
Jiang Muyu took a food box from one of the servants and said, "I think the two princes don't need anything. This is a small gift I prepared. Would you please try it?"
The fifth prince took it and said with a smile, "You are too polite, Auntie. We are just hungry. This gift comes just in time."
The Sixth Prince continued: "Yes, yes, we didn't have breakfast."
Liang Jinghe pushed them and said, "Then go and eat."
The two thanked Jiang Muyu and left.
Liang Qingchen said: "We have sent the people here, we should go back now."
