The princes nodded and accepted the schedule.

After settling this matter, the second prince plucked up the courage and made a request to the queen, hoping that Princess Xiyan could study with them.

"Mother, we have a humble request. We hope that Sister Xiyan can study with us." The second prince asked respectfully.

The queen looked embarrassed.

The eldest prince added: "Don't worry, mother. Since father has agreed to Concubine Ji's matter, I'm sure father will not object to Princess Xiyan's studies."

"Reading makes people wise. As a princess, Xiyan should be exposed to a wider range of knowledge, and should not be limited to books like Women's Rules and Women's Instructions."

When Wu Qing heard Princess Xiyan's name, his eyes lit up.

[Xiyan! Our baby girl finally appeared! ]

[Princess Xiyan's presence in the book is not high, but as the emperor's only princess, I always paid attention to her when I read the novel. ]

[Compared to her two unreliable brothers, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, Xi Yan is much smarter. She was abandoned by her mother when she was young, and she lacks a sense of security. She is also precocious, and has experienced the ups and downs of life too early, and she almost doesn't trust anyone. All these experiences have cultivated her quiet and taciturn personality. ]

[When she is about to come of age, the emperor will marry her to the king of Western Xia in order to stabilize the border.]

Hearing this, the Queen and the eldest prince were all shocked.

who?

King of Western Xia?

If Xiyan reaches adulthood... then the king must be sixty years old, right?

Why is the Emperor/Father like this?!

[Princess Xiyan certainly didn't want to marry a 60-year-old man. So, she used a little trick to get the handle on the heroine, forcing the heroine, who was already a concubine, to come forward for her and cancel the marriage.]

[The heroine is not a simple woman. On the surface, she agreed to Princess Xiyan's request and pleaded with the emperor for her, but secretly she had made up her mind to eliminate this potential threat to prevent future troubles.]

[Princess Xiyan knew this very well. Her real purpose was not just to cancel the marriage, but to take this opportunity to escape from this magnificent cage and pursue her own freedom and happiness.]

[When the heroine's subordinates ran to silence the witnesses, Princess Xiyan had already disguised herself as a palace maid and escaped from the palace in a manure cart. ]

[There are not many people who can play with the heroine, and Xi Yan is one of them. So excited! I'm going to meet little Xi Yan! ]

Wu Qing immediately spoke up: "Empress, I also think what the princes said is very true. Why not let Princess Xiyan learn together!"

After knowing that Princess Xiyan might marry a foreign prince in the future, the eldest prince followed closely and said earnestly, "Mother, Concubine De has been away from the palace for many years, and she is indeed lacking in teaching Princess Xiyan."

"If Xiyan marries an important official in the court in the future, she will be looked down upon if she does not have some knowledge. I beg you, mother, to give Xiyan a chance to learn."

The Queen was lost in thought, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

She knew that Concubine De had neglected Xiyan a lot, and she also understood that the princes' concerns were not groundless.

However, it seemed a bit against the rules to let Xi Yan join the princes' studies. More importantly, if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely not agree.

But facing the sincere looks of the three men, the queen couldn't bear it.

The queen's heart was shaken a little. She turned her head to look out the window. The sunlight was shining on the golden roof of the palace, sparkling.

The queen took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly said, "Well, since you are all so insistent, let Xiyan come and study together."

When these words came out, the three of them felt relieved and were extremely happy.

[Great! ]

"But," the Queen said, "Xi Yan cannot attend the scripture class with you for the time being. She can only attend art classes and other courses. As for the scripture class... I have to ask the Emperor for his opinion first."

In ancient times, scripture classes were compulsory courses for students and were also the most important part of examinations such as the imperial examinations, and they were related to a person's future and destiny.

The three men's heads drooped again.

Wu Qing gnashed his teeth in his heart: [Humph, the emperor is a feudal and traditional man, he will definitely discriminate against sex and will never agree to let Xiyan go to school! It’s okay, I have plenty of ways to let Xiyan study together, just wait for me! ]

Six o'clock the next morning.

The sun rises late in winter, and at this point, the palace is still pitch dark.

The lights in the palace have not yet been turned off, and everything is still immersed in the deep night.

But the princes were already accustomed to such mornings, and had already gotten up at this time and felt good.

The eldest prince lived in the east wing and the second prince lived in the west wing. The two of them walked out of the gate and were about to follow their usual route to have breakfast.

When they stepped out of the door of the wing, they saw Wu Qing dancing Pamela in the middle of the prince's courtyard.

[18, 19, 20. Second set of burpees, done!]

"It's good to be young. I didn't even collapse from exhaustion after doing two sets of burpees."

The winter wind is so cold that people can't help but tighten their collars to keep out the cold.

The princes were all wrapped in thick fur coats. Although they kept them warm, they looked as bloated as two dumplings.

Only Wu Qing ran out wearing only a martial arts uniform, looking cold and charming.

The eldest prince and the second prince sneezed at the same time: "..."

I was instantly awakened by the shock.

They remembered that Guiren Ji was now their "counselor".

They quickly checked their appearance.

Lady Ji has a photographic memory. If there is something dirty on my face, wouldn’t it be another black record in her mind?

Wu Qing caught their figures with his sharp eyes and came over to greet them with a smile: "Did you sleep well, Xiong Da and Xiong Er... er, the eldest prince and the second prince?"

"good……?"

The two responded hesitantly.

"Well, let's start our morning exercise." Wu Qing nodded with satisfaction, "Take off your coats first, and then run twenty laps along the courtyard of the prince's residence."

Take off your coat?

The second prince complained: "How can you take off your coat in such cold weather?"

Wu Qing saw through his laziness at a glance.

She directly used the method of provoking him: "I only wear two pieces of clothes. You are four years younger than me, so you should be much more resistant to cold than me. You know, a real man is not afraid of severe cold or heat."

Who are you looking down on?!

The second prince was fooled as soon as he heard it. He angrily tore off his valuable fur coat and threw it away.

The eldest prince shook his head, took off his fur coat and handed it to the palace servant beside him.

Wu Qing was in high spirits and blew the whistle.

"Twenty laps, let's go!"

"Whoever finishes first will get an extra chance to ask questions!"
