Inside the Wanliu Academy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at the essays submitted by the self-recommended students in the academy, and glanced at the path.
Although they had only met yesterday, Zhao Yun recognized Ye Li at a glance because Su Zhan was there.
When Gu Yan saw Zhao Yun staring at one place, he also looked over and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhao Yun looked at Dean Qin who had hurried over, and asked in a voice that was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, "What brings Su Zhan to the academy?"
Dean Qin said, "The copybook of Wang Youjun's calligraphy was given by Su Zhan. He originally wanted to ask for a place for his younger brother to study at Wanliu Academy."
"What kind of brother is he?"
The anger in Zhao Yun's eyes was no longer hidden.
Dean Qin didn't understand what Zhao Yun meant. He came to the academy to teach because he didn't know how to read the faces of officials. He just thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was asking about the relationship between Ye Li and Su Zhan.
Dean Qin then said, "I heard from Su Zhan that this is his younger brother, who is related by marriage. Su Zhan was very generous to this younger brother, even giving away this rare treasure for his studies. When he saw that my studies were unsuccessful, he still gave me the calligraphy copybook. This shows how much he values this younger brother."
Zhao Yun's face turned increasingly darker.
Gu Yan hurriedly asked, "Uncle Master, the student you just rejected was Ye Li?"
Dean Qin nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Gu Yanzhi frowned.
Gu Ling looked at Gu Yan with amusement and said, "Didn't Nuonuo's mother tell you that Ye Li wanted to study?"
Gu Yan whispered, "No."
Gu Ling said to Dean Qin, "Brother, Ye Li is my daughter-in-law's cousin. Can you make an exception and allow him to enter Wanliu Academy?"
Dean Qin said: "Since he is the cousin of the Crown Prince's wife, then..."
Zhao Yun didn't wait for Dean Qin to finish his words and frowned, saying, "Uncle, Wanliu Academy is one of the best academies in Chang'an City. This rule cannot be broken."
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness... If Xiangye knew that it was my father who prevented Ye Li from studying, and that we had snatched her place, wouldn't she be angry with me again?"
Zhao Yun said, "Yun Shi didn't ask you for help herself. If she's making a fuss about this, that's unreasonable. She chose to take the long way around instead of taking the shortcut. It's their own fault that Ye Li can't study!"
Zhao Yun looked at Dean Qin and said, "Give back the copy of Wang Youjun's calligraphy that Su Zhan gave you just now. Tell him my instructions to take care of his own brother and not worry about other people's brothers."
Dean Qin didn't understand why Zhao Yun was like this, but he could only reluctantly give up and quickly agreed, "Yes."
Zhao Yun said, "You should return the calligraphy now."
"Yes." Dean Qin bowed and said, "I will withdraw first."
After Dean Qin left, Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Gu Yan again, "Ye Li came to Wanliu Academy to study, but instead of seeking help from your cousin-in-law, he went to your cousin's brother-in-law. What's the logic behind this?"
Gu Yan listened to Zhao Yun's words and smelled a strong sour smell. He felt that Zhao Yun's jealousy was too inexplicable.
Zhao Yun also forbade Ye Wanhe from associating with the Ye family. Now that Ye Li asked to study, he did not look for Su Zhan. Could it be that he would look for him, the prince's "brother-in-law"?
Zhao Yun blamed everything on him, he was really wronged.
Gu Yan said, "You are right. However, I didn't know Ye Li was studying before. Now that I know, I must help Ye Li enter the Wanliu Academy. Uncle Qin has already agreed, but you said that no exception can be made..."
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and said, "If you want Ye Li to enter Wanliu Academy, let her come and beg for it."
Gu Yan thought that the "she" Zhao Yun was referring to must be Ye Wanhe. Gu Yan really didn't understand why Zhao Yun didn't want Ye Wanhe to have any contact with the Ye family, but wanted Ye Wanhe to ask him for help.
However, for Yu Gu Yan, Zhao Yun pointed out a clear way for him. Yun Xiangye was about to divorce him, so it might be possible to use Ye Li to force Yun Xiangye.
--
Yun Xiangye took Nuonuo to West Street early this morning to look for her uncle and aunt.
The uncle and aunt were much happier when they saw Nuonuo. They talked about Wanhe's pregnancy, and the aunt also wanted to make some clothes for the baby in Wanhe's belly. No matter whether it could be sent to the palace, it was at least a token of her thought.
Yun Xiangye sat in West Street for the entire morning, chatting with her aunt and cousin, and felt that time passed very quickly.
It was almost noon when Ye Li returned.
Seeing Ye Li's embarrassed expression, Yun Xiangye asked, "What's wrong? Is it because you're having trouble getting into Wanliu Academy?"
Seeing the anger still on Ye Li's face, Yun Xiangye consoled him, "It's okay if you can't get into Wanliu Academy. There are other good academies in Chang'an City."
Ye Li said, "Originally, Dean Qin had agreed to accept me as a student, but then my brother-in-law and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Ning, came. Prince Ning wanted Prime Minister Lin's nephew to become Dean Qin's disciple, so he took up the last spot available for Dean Qin's students. As a result, I can no longer enter Wanliu Academy."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, feeling a little regretful that she had not mentioned this matter to the eldest princess and father-in-law yesterday.
Yun Xiangye whispered, "This is my fault."
Ye Li said, "Sister Yun, how can this be blamed on you?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I already knew yesterday that Prime Minister Lin wanted his son to attend the Wanliu Academy, but I didn't mention it to the Princess."
Aunt Ye said, "Your husband's family is already very high-class. Although you don't say it, we also know that your life in the Princess's Mansion must not be so easy. If this matter fails, it can't be blamed on you."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "Actually, if I ask the Princess, she might agree. Sigh..."
Ye Li said, "It's okay, Sister Yun. I'll go study at another academy first. Next February, I'll definitely work hard to get into Wanliu Academy on my own."
