Chapter 171 Bad Habits

Bei Jingchu went to see the emperor and asked Zhou Huan to drink and claim illness to take leave.

I made up a lot of reasons in my mind, but Aye agreed without even asking.

Bei Jingchu was condemned by her conscience.

[Does Aye trust me so much? ]

[Are you not worried that I might do something bad? ]

[Aye is so nice. Aye is so nice to me. 】

[I actually called Aye a dog tyrant. I was so naughty. ]

The emperor felt relieved because he knew what she was going to do by reading her mind, but he felt a little guilty.

Listening to the little guy's inner praise, Tactics drank water.

Bei Jingchu was still reflecting: [So I won’t curse him in my heart anymore? ]

Less than a breath later, the emperor heard: "Forget it, I can't do it."

emperor:......

The next day, Zhou Huan drank too much and claimed to be sick, so he did not go to school.

When school was over at noon, Nian'er suggested going to see her together.

Bei Jingchu stopped the enthusiastic friends and said, "No need. The doctor said Jiujiu needs to rest and recuperate, so we should not disturb her."

Yin Chu also came over at this time and asked awkwardly: "Your Highness, can I ask what disease Zhou Huanjiu has?"

Bei Jingchu looked him up and down.

"Oh, you care about her so much? Didn't you say you hate her the most?"

"Where, where is it?"

"I'm not worried, I'm laughing."

"Yes, laugh at her."

"I couldn't keep up with the teacher's teaching progress, and I even asked for leave and didn't attend the class."

"When the time comes, don't leave in disgrace because you can't learn and still can't get into the Botang after spending ten years in the Hongwenguan."

Bei Jingchu discovered the point: "Are you worried about her future?"

Yin Chu was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"I didn’t!"

Bei Jingchu was kind enough not to expose him, but to persuade him to be at ease: "Even if Jiujiu can't get into Botang, she still has a good way out for herself."

Yin Chu's expression suddenly turned horrified, and she asked, "She's engaged?!"

"ah?"

[No, brother, why did you think of going here? ]

Bei Jingchu suddenly remembered that in this era...

[It seems that the only way out for girls is to get married. ]

【Besides, it is not uncommon to arrange marriages for children. 】

[What a weird world. 】

When Lei Nian'er heard this, she quickly turned her head away to prevent others from seeing the darkness in her eyes.

Marry...

Like A Niang, or like her father's original wife?

She even heard that her father was considered a good man.

Lei Nian'er thought of her mother's tears as she endured the humiliation and her first wife's hysterical face, and found it unbelievable.

The world is not what she thought it was.

Even the stories of talented men and beautiful women and happy marriages sung in operas seemed horrible to her.

She didn't understand why the weaver girl fell in love with the cowherd who stole her robes.

I don't understand why Wang Baochuan would stay in the cold kiln for eighteen years.

I don't understand why Cui Yingying likes Zhang Sheng.

Maybe it's because she is still young.

Growing up is the most terrifying thing.

She is scared.

Will she become like this when she grows up?

Lei Nian'er quickly adjusted her mentality, turned around and continued listening.

The princess is so talkative. When will she stop chattering?

The princess didn't know that someone was complaining about her dawdling, and continued to chatter with great interest: "Anyway, her future will be fine, you don't have to worry about it."

Yin Chu looked unconvinced: "Don't lie to me, Your Highness."

"That unlucky girl is not good at anything except eating."

"What other solution is there besides getting engaged?"

"Did Her Majesty the Queen Mother come to see me?"

"Whose house are you looking at?"

Yin Chu was obviously very anxious, and even wanted to go astray and reach out to shake Bei Jingchu's shoulder, but Lei Nian'er grabbed his wrist.

"Yin Chu, be careful."

"oh oh."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Bei Jingchu was magnanimous, "It's okay, I'll be more careful next time."

He praised Nian'er again: "Well done!"

Lei Nian'er responded with a shy smile.

Beihua was a little frustrated. Although they were both reading partners, she didn't react at all.

But Nian'er was able to protect her cousin in time.

The way her little head was drooping was so obvious that Bei Jingchu went to touch her.

"Cousin, what are you thinking about?"

"Don't be discouraged, you are great."

Bei Hua looked up with emotion, her eyes moistened.

My cousin is really a caring and gentle girl.

The caring and gentle cousin comforted her: "Cousin, look, you can even help me with the calculation."

Bei Hua was encouraged: "Yeah!"

"It was a bit hectic though."

Bei Hua: “…”

"Besides, you used your brain at that time, so it's understandable that you don't use it at other times."

"......"

Bei Jingchu felt that she had comforted her cousin and began to explain to Yin Chu the misunderstanding about Zhou Huanjiu.

"It's not an engagement, so don't make up rumors. Jiujiu still has to maintain his reputation."

"She has earned her way through her own abilities. You will know when the time comes. You don't need to worry about her studies."

Yin Chu murmured quietly: "But I don't see what she is capable of."

"Just beat me up."

Bei Jingchu:......

Forget it, I don't want to talk to a fool.

Time was running out and it was time to make a decision, but there was still no news from Zhou Huanjiu who was in seclusion.

Even this child is under a lot of pressure.

The Queen Mother asked Bei Jingchu to go to Renshou Hall, and she held her little hand and sighed.

"Your father told me that you were busy with something very important, so you didn't let me go into Jiuer's bedroom. She didn't go to school."

"Jiu'er locked himself in his bedroom all day long, and I didn't ask him about it."

"But today, she didn't even use the breakfast that the palace maids brought to the door."

"I am very worried."

"You said that this child usually has a good appetite, eats a lot, and is in good health."

"Why are you imitating your father's bad habits now?"

"I'm so busy that I don't even have time for meals."

"Chu'er, you have the best relationship with her. Can you persuade her? Don't do anything that will harm your health!"

The Queen Mother's male favorite echoed her words, patting her shoulders and comforting her.

With Ke Xin by her side these years, the Queen Mother looks ten years younger.

She was so radiant that when she walked out, even strangers would believe she was the emperor's sister.

Bei Jingchu naturally agreed, because the body is the capital of revolution.
