Emperor Shangwen personally invited Taifu Lin to go to the Imperial College to teach the princes in the palace. Among them, several young men from aristocratic families in the court were also included in the teaching.

Eleventh usually wears dark clothes and is serious, but today he puts on the uniform of the Imperial College. He looks very handsome. At such a young age, he looks so delicate and graceful that one would want to pinch the soft flesh on his cheeks.

Queen Duan looked at Eleven with a smile and spoke in a serious tone.

"Eleven, my brother always praises you for your intelligence. This time, Master Lin will teach you, so just study hard. The princess will keep you by her side, but you can choose your own path in the future."

Queen Duan felt sorry for Eleventh who had been orphaned at a young age, and the little princess was always thinking about Eleventh, so she loved her daughter and her family as well.

And Eleven is also very well-behaved. Although he is serious, he is very attentive when taking care of the little princess and the little prince.

Eleven glanced at the little princess in the cradle and said with firm eyes.

"Eleven is not suffering. As long as I stay with the princess and take care of her, Eleven is willing."

After saying that, Eleven scratched his head embarrassedly.

Queen Duan raised her eyebrows in surprise. To be honest, Eleven was very obedient, but he was very taciturn around others.

After Eleven finished speaking, he prepared to go to the Imperial College. He looked at Queen Duan hesitantly, then pointed at Xiao Ruyu.

"Empress, can Eleven take the princess with him?"

Queen Duan was naturally afraid of accidents, so she spoke quickly.

"The princess is too young, she has just come of age, so she should stay in the palace."

Eleven was a little disappointed, "Yes, my lady."

After saying that, Eleven was about to leave, but someone grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly. He turned around and saw that it was the little princess.

No matter how hard Queen Duan and the little princess tried to persuade Xiao Ruyu, they failed to change her mind.

"Mother, I'll just go for a while. I also want to listen to the teacher's lecture. I have to study when I grow up anyway. Let's win at the starting point!"

"Mom, honey, let's go~"

Xiao Ruyu used all her cute tricks and finally got Queen Duan to nod in agreement.

"Forget it, Eleven, take the princess to the Imperial Academy for classes, and bring the wet nurse along with you."

Xiao Ruyu cheered, "The Queen Mother is mighty."

People from the Imperial College had already arrived early.

Lu Chengyan, the young master of the Lu family, was chatting happily with the young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion. He glanced at Duan Yiling from time to time with a wicked smile in his eyes.

Tutor Lin hasn't arrived yet, and the atmosphere in the Imperial College is still cheerful. In short, it's very lively.

Emperor Shangwen was also worried that Grand Tutor Lin would not be able to control the situation, so he invited Aunt Fangruo to look after all the little princes, as he was also worried that something unexpected might happen.

The eldest prince Xiao Ru'an glanced at Duan Yiling's limping leg with a look of confusion on his face.

"I just rested in the palace two days ago. How come Yiling broke his leg? It looks like it's quite serious."

Xiao Ru'an recovered well. He was originally on the verge of death, but after the miraculous treatment of Doctor Yang, he is almost fully recovered.

However, Concubine De was worried that his injury would relapse, so she let him rest for a while and he didn't even attend the little princess's full moon banquet.

Xiao Ru'an felt very sorry about this and secretly thought that he must make it up to the little princess on her birthday.

Duan Yiling curled his lips, but his eyes were looking at the boy not far away who was also wearing the Imperial College uniform, and he said with gritted teeth.

"You are not from the Duke of Qi's Mansion, yet you dare to attack me secretly? I won't let you off easily next time!"

Duan Yiling was just suspicious at first, but because of Xiao Ruyu's voice, he became cautious and sent people to investigate.

What happened a month ago is not that easy to investigate, but there are always some clues.

Sure enough, he found the horse that had been injured during the ride and discovered that there were scars on its hooves, as if it had been injured by a hidden weapon.

While searching the bushes around him, he unexpectedly found the darts commonly used in the Duke of Qi's Mansion. They were used exclusively by the Second Young Master of Qi, and his name was written on them.

Qi Xun.

If Duan Yiling's mother hadn't stopped him, he would have fought to the death. Seeing Qi Xun, he was even more angry.

Duan Yiheng said calmly, "God will take care of things, why rush? We will always have a chance to get back at him, but we can't cause trouble for our aunt."

Duan Yiling certainly knew the seriousness of the matter, "Brother, I know."

As they were talking, Eleven and his group arrived at the Imperial College.

The place is already full of people, of varying ages, but they are all sitting obediently.

Duan Yiling and Duan Yiheng came over with joy when they saw Eleven carrying the little princess.

"Eleven, let me hold the little princess."

Eleven reluctantly handed Xiao Ruyu to Duan Yiling and reminded him again.

"Second Master, be careful the princess might bump into you."

Duan Yiling nodded, "How could I let my precious sister get hurt? Eleven, you are too careful!"

Seeing several people fighting for the little princess, Qi Xun walked over and laughed.

"Bringing a baby to class at the Imperial College, don't you know that this is breaking the rules?"

He didn't know the identity of the little princess, but when he saw Duan Yiling being close to her, he couldn't help but mock her.

Duan Yiling rolled his eyes at Qi Xun and said, "The little princess is very smart. Can't we teach her to read and write?"

Qi Xun snorted coldly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If she cries and makes a fuss later, don't beg for mercy when Master Lin wants to teach her a lesson."

Xiao Ruyu was speechless. The Second Young Master Qi was too talkative.

[You are the one making trouble, I am here to listen to the teacher's lecture! ]

The little princess glanced at a hornet's nest on a tree not far away, and thought that her little cousin had been bullied. It was normal to take revenge today, right?

After hearing what the little princess was thinking, the few people laughed secretly but didn't take it to heart.

Tutor Lin arrived late and saw that there were quite a few students in the Imperial College, except for one serious student who brought a baby with him.

He couldn't help wanting to invite the person out, but he learned from the little servant beside him that it was Princess Fu'an. So he couldn't scold her and had to pretend that he didn't see it.

Although Master Lin's classes were boring, his teaching was among the best. Even Duan Yiling, who usually liked to play around, listened to the class attentively.

Thinking of the little princess's prediction, he had already decided to study hard, so when he told Lord Duan that he was going to the palace for classes, Lord Duan had a look of astonishment on his face.

However, halfway through the class, Duan Yiling suddenly felt someone hit him on the back of his head. The stone was quite hard and bleeding had already occurred, so the situation was quite serious.

Lu Chengyan had long disliked him. The Lu family had been suppressed during this period of time, all because of Queen Duan.

Although the two families usually get along well, in reality they both regard each other as thorns in their eyes.

Lu Chengyan secretly picked up a stone and threw it over.

He thought that if he moved carefully, no one would notice him, but the little princess saw everything.

[My little cousin, it’s Lu Chengyan! ]

Duan Yiling was reminded and saw a hornet's nest not far away. He came up with an idea. He might as well take revenge for all the old and new grudges from last time.

He secretly picked up the stone and knocked the hornet's nest down from the treetop, he said secretly.

"Run."
