She hurriedly got up.
"Yes, I have to go to school today."
"Moon, what time is it? Hurry up and get that dark blue dress. After you wash up, we'll go to the study."
Seeing the princess jump out of bed in a flurry of activity, Yue'er felt both sorry for her and amused. But she still comforted the princess, saying, "Princess, don't rush. It's still early. It's only Chen Shi (7-9 AM). His Majesty probably hasn't finished his court session yet, and Master Lin certainly can't come over. I called you half an hour in advance. Take your time, and you can still have breakfast."
"Okay, Yue'er, you make me feel at ease," Xia Xiyue said, touched.
Upon hearing the princess's words, Yue'er secretly covered her lips and chuckled.
...
The same process that happened to the eldest princess also occurred to the other three princesses in the palace.
The three princesses were hurriedly awakened by their personal maids, got up, ate breakfast, and rushed to the Imperial Study.
—
When Lin Chaozong arrived at the Imperial Study, he saw several princesses rushing into the school in front of him.
Seeing the princesses drenched in sweat, Lin Chaozong was speechless.
Is he speaking to His Majesty, or...?
Seeing the princesses' unanimous pleading looks, Lin Chaozong gave up on that idea.
Well, it's the princess's first day of class, he should be merciful.
Anyway, it was only for a short while, and he, the teacher, didn't go in, so even if the princesses weren't late.
"Ahem, greetings, princesses. Your humble servant is here to teach you writing, and I know that you have all learned to write. But I would like to know which books you have studied?"
Seeing that Master Lin was already asking them which books they were studying, the princesses looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Xia Mengxin: "The teachers are already in class, so I hope they won't complain to the Emperor about their lateness?"
Xia Xiyue: "It should be, the teacher has already started class."
Xia Yuanya: "Then it should be over."
Xia Jingyao: "Then let's answer Master Lin one by one."
The other three sisters: "Okay!"
...
Seeing the other sisters nod, Xia Xiyue began to introduce the books she mainly studied and the level of her studies.
Seeing how the third sister introduced herself, the other three also started to introduce themselves in the same way.
Soon, the four princesses' studies were all on track.
On a whim, Qingyin wanted to see her four best friends (future working women). She looked out the window and saw the way her friends were earnestly learning from Lin Chaozong. She nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to her mentally unstable brothers and sisters in other worlds, the personalities of her four good sisters in this world are far superior; they are kind and earnest.
She's practically her ideal best friend (a working woman).
She was both obedient and hardworking, so it's no wonder that the original owner felt a hidden sense of guilt towards the princesses.
This feeling wasn't very noticeable until Qingyin came to this world and several princesses gathered around her more often, which made Qingyin, who was sensitive to emotions, realize it.
If this point is missed, Qingyin can probably guess why the mission takers in this world have failed so many times.
After checking on the princesses' learning progress, Qingyin waved to Lin Chaozong, who had noticed her, without making a sound, indicating that she would not disturb the princesses' studies. Only then did Lin Chaozong suppress the excitement in his eyes and, forcing himself to remain calm, resume teaching the princesses.
Qingyin watched for a while longer, and seeing that there was nothing unexpected, she turned and left.
Xia Jingyao, who was listening to the lesson in the classroom, noticed something was off about Master Lin's gaze. Due to some special feeling, she subconsciously looked excitedly towards the windowsill.
Not seeing the person she longed for standing there, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
But soon, she noticed the robes worn by the head eunuch; was that Li De, the eunuch?
That means the emperor's younger brother came to see them in person!
It must be said that Xia Jingyao is smart.
The disappointment in her eyes vanished completely, replaced by an exceptionally bright light.
"Emperor brother..." Xia Jingyao was somewhat lacking in love, which stemmed from her upbringing. Because of her "gender," her father, the Emperor, focused all his attention on his younger brother.
Because of her gender, she was seen as a good-for-nothing by her mother, who was angry that she wasn't a boy and hated her for it. Although she bullied her, her mother showed no concern for her daughter whatsoever.
But the princess's treatment was normal. From a young age, Xia Jingyao knew that she was disliked by her mother because she was a woman and had no parental affection. Did she resent it? Yes, she did, but later she had an older sister, a second older sister, a younger sister... and she managed to recover psychologically.
Undoubtedly, the lack of parental love cannot replace the love of parents, but now Xia Mingqing, the emperor younger brother whom she has always respected but is unfamiliar with, is taking care of them like an elder and even letting them study in the Imperial Study. This kind of affection... Although Xia Jingyao is very shy, she really has no choice but to regard a younger brother who is younger than her as a reliable, gentle, and kind elder.
Just like a father.
(Author's note: Qingyin: Cough. I treated you like an older sister, and you actually want to be my daughter!)
Xia Jingyao: (shy face) jpg.Ｏ(≧?≦)Ｏ）
Xia Jingyao knew that her service at the princess's residence was getting better and better. In the past, the imperial kitchen would bring them food rather slowly, but now, as long as they called, the food would be delivered quickly... And this time, her younger brother, the emperor, must have put in a lot of effort for her to go to school.
All these factors combined led Xia Jingyao to silently make up her mind: no matter what her emperor brother was thinking, she would learn from Master Lin, strive to become more capable, and then help her emperor brother.
