"Okay, alright, just wait here quietly."
Xia Jingyao glanced at her younger sister's fluffy bun out of the corner of her eye, and felt a surge of desire; it looked quite easy to ruffle.
Unfortunately, my little sister was already unhappy from being pinched, so I decided not to make her angry.
Xia Mengxin hid behind her third sister, unaware that her third sister, whom she regarded as the only "good person," was also secretly harboring feelings for her.
"Princess, His Majesty invites you in," said Eunuch Li De, standing in front of the palace gate with a smile.
Xia Xiyue glanced at her younger sister, who was still hiding behind her third sister, before slowly saying to Eunuch Li De, who was standing in front, "Okay, thank you, Eunuch Li."
...
Several people entered the Golden Palace.
Hearing footsteps outside, Qingyin put down her tea, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and turned to look at the young girls who had walked in.
In her teens, she would be considered a young girl still in school in modern times, but in ancient times she would have been of marriageable age.
Qingyin raised her eyebrows and smiled. Her dazzling face eased the oppressive feeling and reduced the tension in the hearts of the girls standing below.
“Princess princesses, please sit down. I have called you here today to discuss a family matter.”
Qingyin waved her hand, gesturing for Xia Xiyue and the others to sit down.
Xia Xiyue and her sisters looked at each other, puzzled, but managed to sit down calmly.
A hint of a smile flickered in Qingyin's eyes as she looked at the several girls sitting on pins and needles.
Those little girls are really interesting; they both like her and are afraid of her.
As Qingyin's eyes darted around, she spotted Xia Mengxin, who was secretly watching her.
Xia Mengxin: "..."
I'm such an unlucky guy!
Qingyin glanced at her younger sister, who was lost in thought, with interest, and spoke up just as she was about to overthink things: "Ahem, I've come today to inform the princesses about their studies."
"Reading?" Xia Xiyue raised her head blankly.
Haven't they already gone to school?
During the Xia Dynasty, although women were taught that being uneducated was a virtue, princesses and daughters of noble families were still required to learn to read and write and study a small amount of poetry, but that was about it.
Therefore, Xia Xiyue and Xia Yuanya had naturally already learned to read.
Therefore, when they heard the emperor telling them to study again, the group of people, who were not good at directions, were somewhat puzzled.
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Qingyin didn't intend to hide it from them. She smiled and explained, "Yes, it's studying again, but it's different from before. It's like a prince studying the same courses in the Imperial Study."
Upon hearing Qingyin's words, Xia Xiyue and the others couldn't help but gape.
Although they didn't know what studying in the Imperial Study meant at that moment, even when the princesses grew old, they still remembered the strange look in the eyes of their younger brother, the emperor, when they were young, as they recalled their glorious past.
They didn't understand then, but later they did, and they knew that it was called the light shining upon them.
From that moment on, a new path to an extraordinary and brilliant life has begun for them.
At this moment, the group was still in shock or puzzled as to why the emperor's younger brother/brother wanted them to study those courses like princes.
Xia Xiyue hesitated. Although she didn't know how those courses would help her, she subconsciously knew that such learning might cause trouble for her younger brother, the emperor, in court. She hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, have you spoken to the ministers in court about this?"
"Of course, I have also found a teacher for you," Qingyin said confidently.
He Lin Chaozong said it, but didn't that mean the court officials said it too?
Qingyin thought to herself with a clear conscience.
Xia Xiyue was somewhat shocked. She hadn't expected the ministers in the court to be so open-minded. They even readily accepted the idea of their princess studying.
Xia Xiyue had no idea that her younger brother, the emperor, was actually trying to deceive her by changing the subject.
Seeing that her eldest sister had been persuaded (?), Qingyin turned to look at her other sisters, "Second Princess, Third Princess, Fourth Princess, do you have any other ideas?"
Xia Yuanya glanced at her eldest sister, who had agreed (and the ministers were confused about their agreement), her third sister, whose eyes were unfocused, and her youngest sister, who didn't understand anything at all and only knew how to secretly stare at her emperor brother. A faint black line appeared on her forehead.
Tsk, not one of them is reliable.
We still need her.
"Since the ministers have agreed, my sisters are naturally willing as well. But when will my sisters begin school?"
"tomorrow."
Qingyin gave Xia Yuanya a kind and innocent smile.
Xia Yuanya: "..."
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
—
After successfully convincing several of her sisters about going to school for further education, Qingyin leisurely returned to her own bedroom.
Princess Deception √
The minister misled (to be determined)
To be continued tomorrow.
Qingyin thought to herself, and then drank another cup of milk tea made by the Imperial Kitchen that evening. She then washed up in a cheerful mood and went to bed.
Dawn broke overnight.
In the imperial court.
Since His Majesty changed the court hours, officials have been coming to court later, getting more sleep at night, and are therefore in better spirits when they attend court.
Officials' initial attitude towards changing ancestral rules changed from ⊙︿⊙ to (≧?≦)/.
It can only be said that the good things come to those who wait.
Most of the officials had already arrived at the main hall.
A small group of people gathered together with familiar officials and chatted about something. Some of them started mentioning Lin Chaozong, who had been left alone the day before.
The atmosphere began to become oppressive.
