Qingyin was unaware that she had won the heart of her most intelligent elder sister the moment she appeared.
Moreover, it allowed the Third Princess to gradually evolve into the Scroll Queen, who in turn influenced her other sisters and court officials.
If she had known, Qingyin would have given this third princess a big hug. "King Juan is great! King Juan is amazing! I love such an amazing princess."
—
News of the princess studying in the Imperial Study quickly spread throughout the capital, probably because His Majesty had made an appearance at the princess's birthday banquet.
Among the children of powerful officials in the capital, there were surprisingly few who dared to object. Instead, those who had met His Majesty, out of affection for the princess, would loudly and fiercely refute any scholar or commoner they saw discussing the princess's extensive reading.
"Ha, the princess is a descendant of dragons and phoenixes, how could she be like you commoners? Besides, what's wrong with studying? The princess studying more is better than you poor scholars who only know how to gossip about others! Maybe the princess can catch up with you in a few days after studying!"
"You, you, you're being unreasonable and making trouble! You're infuriating!"
Upon hearing this, the scholars who had been discussing the princess turned red with embarrassment, clutching their hearts and glaring angrily at the young master who had insulted them.
The young master, seeing that the scholar couldn't win an argument with him, clicked his tongue in sarcasm, causing the group to flee in disarray.
Watching the group run off into the distance, the young master's face was full of smugness.
He strode back to his good brother with an imposing air, and said proudly, "Ha, a few poor scholars, stupid and clumsy, mere defeated opponents. Wait until I find a few more and give them a good scolding, then I'll show you my skills and see what my old man has to say about my incompetence."
"Hahaha, Brother Luo is awesome! Those foul-mouthed people deserve to be taught a lesson."
"Alas, I wonder when I will be able to see His Majesty again."
"My husband said my gaze last time was too exaggerated, and he insists that I offended His Majesty. He won't let me attend the palace banquet next time. What should I do?!"
Thinking of this, the young master surnamed Luo couldn't help but sigh. The thought of never seeing the beautiful and magnificent Emperor filled him with despair.
Looking into his eyes, his friend couldn't help but sigh. Who wouldn't want to see such a handsome emperor again?
Li Xin and Luo Jie were best friends. Their fathers held similar official positions and they had played together since childhood. They were known as the most notorious playboy brothers in the capital. Given how his good brother behaved at the banquet, how could he possibly be any better?
Naturally, his father forbade him from attending the next palace banquet, so it was difficult for him to see His Majesty. So how could he see His Majesty again? Could he change his father's mind?
Li Xin wanted to, but he had no ideas at all.
Thinking of this, he also became depressed.
But he has a bad habit of being depressed, and he likes to look around aimlessly. For some reason, a voice in the crowd caught his attention.
It turned out to be a father and son, dressed in short jackets and holding a child of about three years old, standing next to an old man selling candied hawthorns.
The child with two little pigtails stared at the candied hawthorn stall with bright, round eyes, calling out in a childish voice, "Daddy, I want to eat candied hawthorn!"
Hearing the child's request, the man holding the child was clearly in a difficult position. Judging from his patched clothes, it was easy to see that the man did not come from a good family. At least, a string of candied hawthorns was a considerable burden for him.
He looked at the child, about to say something to stop him, "Li'er, Daddy didn't bring much money today, let's buy it next time, okay?"
"No, I want to eat! Daddy, next time I'll take a bath by myself, okay? Will you buy it for me, Daddy..."
Upon hearing the child's voice, the father hesitated for a moment. He looked earnestly at the adorable child in his arms and said, "Really, you've been a good boy and behaved well during your bath without making a fuss."
"Yes, I promise."
In order to get to eat candied hawthorns, the child was exceptionally well-behaved and even made a promise.
At this moment, the father seemed to be persuaded. The hesitation in his eyes disappeared, and he turned around and prepared to walk towards the candied hawthorn stall.
"I've got it!"
Li Xin suddenly shouted out in public, and the sound was so loud that people all over the street looked over.
Luo Jie, stared at by so many people and with Li Xin holding his arm, was speechless.
It was so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing. He never wanted to go out with Li Xin again.
Roger, his face flushed, patted his friend's arm. "Hey, you thought of that, so why are you shouting like that? Everyone around is staring!"
“I told him I had an idea to change my father’s mind, and then… we could go to the banquet in the palace, and with His Majesty there too.” Having learned his lesson, Li Xin whispered this to his friend, suppressing his excitement.
"What did you say!"
A shrill, loud male voice echoed throughout the street once again.
This time, it was Li Xin's turn to feel embarrassed because his ears were numb from the shock.
Li Xin: "..."
Feeling that everyone on the street was staring at them, Li Xin nudged Luo Jie, his face flushed, and said, "You're one to talk! Aren't you the same way?"
Roger: "Ahem, good brother, I got it. Don't forget me when you get rich. Don't forget me when you have a plan. We've been brothers since we were kids."
Li Xin: "..."
Li Xin rolled his eyes. "You're my brother, how could I forget you?"
Roger smiled obsequiously: "Hehe."
Li Xin: "Alright, first of all, thank you to the consultant who gave us the method."
Roger asked in confusion, "What advisor? Where did you get an advisor?"
