Chapter 357 Just Call Me Zhaoyue
In the awning in front of the academy, Qin Zhaoyue rubbed his eyes and was fully awake this time.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xiaoqi and Xiaoba's foreheads, and their chests rose and fell slightly.
But compared to the strength gained from daily martial arts training, this little support is nothing.
Qin Zhaoyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his two younger brothers casually but gently.
"Thank you for your hard work, men. Sixth Sister won't let you do this in vain. I'll buy you something delicious later."
"Okay!" The two little guys' eyes lit up and they answered clearly and loudly.
Qin Zhaoyue touched his stomach and found that he was indeed hungry.
The two bites of food I had eaten in a daze in the palace before were no longer digested.
Xiaojiu, who was standing by, crossed his arms, his cheeks puffed up like they were stuffed with two small buns, and glared at his sixth sister angrily.
Qin Zhaoyue glanced at her unhappily and said, "Alright, forget about your luck. I'll buy you one too, okay? Be good..."
As she spoke, she reached out to rub her head, but Xiaojiu dodged her hand, her little mouth pouting even higher: "Sixth sister, you are really good!"
"Oh?" Qin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow and deliberately dragged out the tone, "Then I won't buy it for you?"
"You dare!"
Xiaojiu immediately bared his teeth and protested in a low voice, but considering the occasion, his voice was extremely low.
Although nothing could be seen in the streets and alleys, the enthusiasm of the onlookers did not diminish in the slightest.
The initial gambling was already very popular, with many people placing bets. Although most of them were small bets of ten or twenty cents, a small amount could add up to a lot.
Those who pass are divided into Class One and Class Two. Class One has three people, and Class Two has thirty people. Everyone is betting on which class is the first.
Is Helian Chaolu, the poet with amazing talent, and the second princess of Shuofeng, Xiao Yunshuo, who is said to make Helian Chaolu feel inferior, really worthy of her reputation?
Can the talented women of Zhongchen Dao match her?
Everyone was in high spirits, but no one was making any loud noise.
The imperial guards wore armor and held sword handles, while the Jingzhao Prefecture officials held water and fire sticks, and the two sides cooperated to maintain order.
Merchants naturally would not miss such business opportunities. Jingzhao Prefecture specially set up temporary stalls in two secluded corners of the streets and alleys for them to sell food and drinks.
The yamen runners were watching closely and strictly prohibited shouting and hawking, only silent transactions were allowed.
Qin Zhaoyue immediately ordered Yingnuo to go buy some food.
Just at this moment, a figure stepped into the shed.
The two gazes unexpectedly met quietly in mid-air.
The person who came was Yan Zhibai. As a member of the Shuofeng delegation, he came with the second princess Xiao Yunshuo.
Since arriving at the outskirts of the academy, his eyes have been wandering among the crowd until they locked onto that figure.
First he was lazily taking a nap while standing, and then he was intimate and playful with the three little princes.
He had heard some rumors about the Sixth Princess, and her reputation seemed to be not good.
However, what you hear is not as good as what you see.
If she was truly unbearable, why did the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Prince defend her so fiercely at the banquet? And why did the three young princes hang around her so closely?
Yan Zhibai hesitated for a long time. After all, it would be inappropriate to approach and start a conversation in public.
But... in the past two days, he deeply realized that without the leadership of the royal heir, even leaving the royal villa would be a pipe dream.
Just as he was trapped in the north, he was never able to set foot in Dagan, let alone the southern border.
The Second Prince's words of advice that night are still fresh in my mind. If I want to fulfill my long-cherished wish, perhaps I have no choice but to stay and work hard.
Thousands of concerns and thoughts, in the end, cannot compare to the thoughts deep in my heart.
Qin Zhaoyue was well rested after a good sleep and was bored, entertaining the three little ones. As his eyes moved, he caught a glimpse of the approaching figure.
She wore a long moon-white cotton gown with a light blue gauze half-sleeve.
In the cool early autumn, his simple and refreshing clothes made his tall figure stand out even more, and his temperament was as gentle as jade.
The elegance imbued with poetry and books was not diminished by his simple clothing. Instead, it was as gentle and restrained as a rough jade, adding a touch of elegance and refinement.
The laziness in Qin Zhaoyue's eyes disappeared instantly, as if they were injected with some strange brilliance.
She stood up gently and gracefully, her fingertips seemingly carelessly brushing a strand of hair by her ear.
In an instant, the mischievousness that had been used to tease the child disappeared without a trace. His eyebrows curved, a gentle smile was just right at the corner of his lips, and his voice was particularly gentle: "Mr. Yan."
"Sixth Prince." Yan Zhibai saluted hurriedly, his ears slightly hot.
"I've already told you there's no need to be so formal," Qin Zhaoyue's smile deepened, her eyes sparkling. "Just call me Zhaoyue."
Yan Zhibai was slightly startled. When he met those eyes that seemed to be filled with stars, his heart skipped a beat and his voice couldn't help but lowered a few degrees.
"Then... Zhaoyue, you can call me Zhibai."
"good."
The two of them stared at each other, and there was a tacit and subtle feeling in the air.
One is gentle and polite with an imperceptible throbbing, the other has a sweet smile but a deliberate teasing hidden under it.
The polite greetings exchanged between us were ordinary in words, but the looks and tones added a touch of ambiguity to the atmosphere.
Xiaojiu couldn't help but shiver, and a layer of fine goose bumps appeared on his arms.
When did her sixth sister speak so...softly?
It was so soft that it was almost artificial, and it made her teeth ache!
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also became alert instantly, looking Yan Zhibai up and down with their eyes wide open.
Is this the man that Sixth Sister said she wanted to "seduce fiercely"?
Wow, he is really handsome, but he looks thin and doesn’t look like a strong person.
"Zhibai, sit down and chat. We still have to wait for a whole day." Qin Zhaoyue pointed to the empty seat next to him.
"Well...it would be disrespectful to refuse."
Yan Zhibai sat down as he was told, but as soon as his butt touched the stool, he stood up again with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Yan Zhibai is so rude. I haven't even paid my respects to the three highnesses yet!"
The three children rolled their eyes in unison. No one responded, and Xiaojiu even snorted coldly.
Yan Zhibai froze in place, his face flushed.
Just now, I was only thinking about the Sixth Princess and did such a stupid and rude thing.
Just as he was about to bow and apologize, a soft, white hand gently pressed on his wrist.
"Nothing."
Qin Zhaoyue's voice had the power to soothe people, but the warmth from his palm made Yan Zhibai's heart tremble again.
"My brothers and sisters are easygoing and don't care about these formalities. Please sit down."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his hands and pushed Yan Zhibai back to his seat without any doubt.
Xiaojiu was standing aside, his mouth corners almost turned up to the sky.
Yes, when it comes to being impolite, who can compare to you?
As Qin Zhaoyue was sitting down, he glanced at the three little ones.
The threat in his eyes was very clear, and it was clearly a threat of "Just try and make trouble if you dare."
