Chapter 266: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the White-cut, Black-younger Prince 9
Ji Yunhuan put down her brush and stamped the princess's seal on the lower right corner of the painting.
The mandarin ducks in the painting become vivid and lively, adding a finishing touch to the originally messy scenery, as if it were given life.
The princess clapped her hands and laughed, "Great! This is the best painting I have ever drawn. Huan'er has good taste. I will hang it in the hall so that people who come and go can have a good look at it. I am also a capable painter."
Jing Yu's mind was wandering, his mind full of Sister Huan's smile. They were so close that Sister Huan's lips were just a little bit away from touching his cheek.
The princess called out several times, but Jing Yu did not respond. She was so angry that she kicked Jing Yu's calf and said angrily:
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and find someone to frame this painting. I'm going to use it later!"
Jing Yu let out a hiss and glanced at Ji Yunhuan reluctantly.
The princess said unhappily, "Stop looking. Huan'er is here to teach Lele. You are already this old, do you still need to start from the Three Character Classic?"
Jing Yu knew that Sister Huan would not leave for the time being, and he was overjoyed and prepared to get the painting on the table.
Ji Yunhuan rolled up the painting and handed it to Jing Yu. She ran her little finger across Jing Yu's palm and smiled gently, "Be careful, don't wrinkle it."
Looking at Jing Yu's fleeing back, Ji Yunhuan laughed in his heart.
In her previous life, she was trapped in the inner palace struggle and politely declined the invitation of the eldest princess, so naturally she did not meet Jing Yu.
Jing Yu’s behavior was too obvious, but I don’t know how long the young feelings can last.
She cannot let the second prince ascend the throne, so the only choice is Jing Yu. She will help Jing Yu ascend the throne. Under the imperial power, all rules and shackles can be broken. Perhaps only Jing Yu can help her leave the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.
"Sister Huan, you're here." A girl in pink threw herself into Ji Yunhuan's arms and kissed her on the face.
The eldest princess at the side coughed lightly and said with a straight face, "Mother taught you, what should you do when you see Sister Huan?"
Princess Kangle patted her head, her big eyes full of doubts. She thought for a long time, and when she saw her mother's face darken, she stammered, "You have to...you have to greet her."
"Wow wow wow ~ Sister Huan, I'm sorry, Lele forgot how to salute. Is Lele stupid?"
Princess Kangle burst into tears, tears streaming down her cheeks. She lay in Ji Yunhuan's arms, crying very sadly.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Princess Kangle has grown to the height of Ji Yunhuan's shoulders. The princess will be 14 years old next year, but her mind is like that of a three or five-year-old child. She can't learn anything and cries when forced.
The princess was so worried about her only daughter. "I can't help it. I don't know how many doctors I have consulted, and how many masters I have hired, but she just can't learn. I can't keep her locked up forever. She has to go out and meet people."
"I don't ask her to be very smart or well-educated. I just hope she looks like a normal child and can read a few words. As long as I am here, I will protect her and won't let her be bullied."
Ji Yunhuan pulled Princess Kangle to sit down. She motioned to Shiqin next to her to take out a complete set of Luban locks and placed them on the table from large to small.
Princess Kangle was attracted by the colorful pieces of wood. She picked up a piece and played with it in her hand, then burst into laughter and said:
"Lele likes her sister the most. Other teachers think Lele is stupid, but Sister Huan likes Lele and always brings Lele delicious and fun things."
Princess Kang Le held Ji Yunhuan's hand, her big wet eyes full of desire, "Sister Huan, can you stay and teach Lele? Lele will definitely study hard."
Ji Yunhuan handed the simplest Luban lock to Princess Kang Le and encouraged her with a smile: "As long as Le Le can solve this, I will stay and teach you."
Princess Kangle's eyes lit up. She didn't know what this wooden lump was, so she subconsciously put it in her mouth and started biting it.
Ji Yunhuan did not stop her. She waited until Princess Kangle had had enough fun before she explained the logic behind it to her in detail.
At the same time, Ji Yunhuan's mind moved, and the light blue enlightenment pill entered Princess Kangle's mouth.
Princess Kangle listened attentively, her brows furrowed and she looked thoughtful. She fiddled with the Luban lock and the small ball broke into a pile of small wooden pieces.
"Wow~" Princess Kang Le exclaimed in surprise, "Look, Sister Huan, I did it, I really did it!"
The princess wiped the tears from her eyes. She, who was always optimistic and strong, couldn't help but choke up. "I knew Huan'er that you would have a way. Lele will be left to you. I...I have to excuse myself for a moment."
When the eldest princess came back again, she heard her daughter reading aloud.
"Rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics. The six arts of ancient times are no longer complete today. Only calligraphy is followed by all. Once you know how to write, you can speak Chinese..."
Ji Yunhuan stood up and saluted the princess. "That's all for today. More haste, less speed. The little princess is tired, so let her go back and rest."
The eldest princess was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Her daughter could actually read the complete "Three Character Classic". Lele knew so many words!
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Huan'er."
Princess Kangle followed suit and knelt down to salute the princess, "Mother, Lele will take his leave first."
She bowed to Ji Yunhuan again and whispered, "Sister Huan, please come again tomorrow."
Ji Yunhuan nodded and smiled: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
The effect of the enlightenment pill is gradual. She needs to teach Princess Kangle for at least a month. When the enlightenment pill takes full effect, Princess Kangle will be even smarter than ordinary children. By then, she will no longer need to teach her, and the princess will naturally hire a better teacher.
Princess Kangle felt relieved when she heard that. She yawned and felt very sleepy. Soon a maid and a nanny came over and took Princess Kangle back to rest.
The princess took Ji Yunhuan's hand and said with gratitude, "My dear Huan'er, you saved my life. How do you want me to repay you?"
Ji Yunhuan didn't ask for anything in return. The eldest princess treated her well, so she wanted to help the eldest princess in return.
The eldest princess was of noble status and had everything she needed. Her only worry was Princess Kangle, so when she saw the Qiqi Pill, she thought of Princess Kangle.
When the princess heard Ji Yunhuan said she didn't want anything, she became unhappy. "You treat me as an outsider. If you want something or want to do something, just tell me. I want to repay you today!"
Ji Yunhuan thought hard and finally thought of something.
"I really don't have much to ask for, but Marquis Xuanwu has always wanted to find a position in the capital. I know that the Marquis is not well-educated, and I dare not ask the Princess to give him a proper position. I just hope that during the next spring examination, the Marquis can be an invigilator."
"The Marquis is naturally dull and unwilling to make progress. He will never be able to take part in the imperial examinations in his lifetime. He can go to the Imperial Examination Hall to maintain order and lead the yamen runners to do some inspections and other tasks, so that he can get some of the intelligence of a scholar."
