While Yu Qiutong was distracted, Chu Yaoyao's expression changed again and again.
He was surprised at first, then nodded in understanding.
According to the information provided by the system, Yunniang's father was a seventh-rank official and was once the legitimate daughter of the family. However, her father offended the powerful and seemed to be involved in a corruption case, which led to his beheading.
Yunniang was also demoted to a slave.
I think she has experienced a lot since she was a child, and has seen too many outrageous actions of the Yu family, so she has become more open-minded.
When Yu Qiutong thought of the orphanage, she couldn't help but think of the female teacher there.
It was them who made me realize that women can also earn money to support a family and live a good life on their own.
Her eyes sparkled.
All this was brought by the little princess!
"Princess, you are my role model! I will work hard to learn skills and will definitely repay you in the future!"
So, please don't dislike me so quickly.
I am still too weak now and do not have the ability to leave the Yu family.
Thinking of this, a trace of guilt flashed across her face, and the emotions in her eyes became a little complicated.
She knew that this was very despicable. The little princess was so kind, yet she was thinking of taking advantage of her.
But she must seize this opportunity!
Yu Qiutong swore in her heart that this was the first and last time! She would serve the princess wholeheartedly in the future! Chu Yaoyao was first shocked by her sudden words of loyalty.
After looking at her with confusion, he naturally did not miss the change in her mood.
System: Wow! I didn’t expect that you are so cunning despite your small size.
[Don't be afraid. Doesn't he still feel guilty? That means he can still be saved. Let's wait and see.]
Chu Yaoyao lowered her eyes and looked at the table.
She could understand Yu Qiutong's feelings. It was like a drowning person who saw a piece of drifting wood in despair. There was nothing he could do except to hold on to it with all his might and by any means necessary.
But being able to empathize and understand is one thing. If others want to take advantage of her again and again, then she must be prepared to pay a heavy price!
However, being admired for no apparent reason feels pretty... good?
Looking at Yu Qiutong who was like a sponge, seizing every opportunity to absorb knowledge, Chu Yaoyao began to reflect on herself.
She really seems to be a little unaware of what she has.
System: Host, don't think so. Don't forget our goal, which is to lie down comfortably! [You are right, but... there is no necessary connection between lying down and illiteracy, right? ]
Just at this moment, Old Tutor Zhou came in.
Chu Yaoyao held her head high and chest out, sitting upright.
[There is no rush for the rest, just start by listening carefully. ]
Looking at a certain baby who was listening attentively, holding a pocket brush, and writing and drawing on paper from time to time.
Old Master Zhou's eyebrows twitched, and he felt something was not right.
Will there be any trouble again? He explained while walking slowly towards Yaoyao's table.
When he came to her table, he glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and just one glance made his brows frown.
The pen-holding posture is wrong! It doesn't matter if you don't look at the others, he can't see clearly anyway! Thinking of this, he snorted and tapped Yaoyao's desk with the ruler.
"Please answer the question just now, little princess."
Chu Yaoyao was not panicked at all when her name was called. She stood up and answered loudly: "Bala bala..."
Old Master Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
Are you really learning?
Not bad, not bad.
Because Old Tutor Zhou was in a good mood, the half-hour class was dragged out for another half hour.
Finally, he was interrupted by the rumbling sounds of a group of children's stomachs.
“Ahem!”
"Let's stop here today. I have to attend a wedding tomorrow, so I'll take a day off."
When Mou Yaoyao, who was packing her schoolbag, heard this, she paused slightly.
Yes, my second uncle is getting married tomorrow! ...
[What wedding gift should I give to my second uncle? ]
System: Hehehe, host, I have a good idea. I will give you the fertility pill! Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyao's eyes lit up.
[Yeah! How could I forget this? ]
She took out two pills from the space, one for giving birth to a son and one for giving birth to a daughter! This medicine can not only help women conceive healthy babies, but also make childbirth smoother for pregnant women.
She also specially found two small and exquisite glass bottles, one in red and one in blue.
After preparing the wedding gifts, I could wash up and go to bed with peace of mind.
She slept till dawn.
But many people in the palace, including officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Mansion of Marquis Zhenxi, have been busy since the third watch.
Because Princess Mingyue came to marry a foreign prince, in order to demonstrate the magnanimity and majesty of the victorious country of Daqi, and also to show the importance attached to the Li family.
Emperor Qixuan ordered Princess Mingyue to get on the sedan chair from the palace in the imperial palace where foreign guests were received.
Together with Li Wanjing, who came to welcome the bride, they paid homage to the emperor and empress outside the Tai'an Hall, and then returned to the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion to continue worshiping heaven and earth.
Chu Yaoyao didn't know all this because she was sleeping soundly.
As soon as the morning hour arrived, Ah Shi knocked on the door on time.
"Princess, today is Mr. Li's big day, you still have to attend the banquet."
Hearing the voice, Chu Yaoyao suddenly opened his eyes.
[Yes, I have to go to a banquet today, I can’t be late! ]
By the time she had packed everything and got on the carriage with the prince to leave the palace, half an hour had passed.
Looking at the elder brother in front of her who had obviously dressed up very carefully, Chu Yaoyao smiled like an auntie.
[You trimmed your eyebrows, changed into new clothes, and burned incense. If you didn't know, you would think you were trying to steal the groom's limelight. ]
Hearing this complaint, the prince's hand holding the teacup shook slightly.
"Ahem, Yaoyao, you are always smart. I want to ask you a question."
When Chu Yaoyao first heard this, she was a little stunned.
"What?"
The prince leaned forward and whispered, "That's right, I have a friend..."
Chu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Making friends out of nothing?"
Prince: ...
You are quite smart at this time!
Seeing that his expression was becoming more serious, Chu Yaoyao quickly nodded and took over his conversation.
"Okay, okay, you have a friend, then what?"
Thinking of this, the prince sighed in distress.
"My friend gave a gift to a girl he liked, but for some reason she got angry."
Thinking that the first thing her elder brother gave her was ibuprofen, Chu Yaoyao's expression became indescribable.
"That friend of yours gave me medicine again, didn't he?"
The prince's expression froze, "Of course not!"
"It's the lip balm that girl has been longing for for a long time."
"The girl was very happy when she received it, but for some reason, she never used it. I asked her..."
The prince almost let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly stopped talking.
"Ahem, my friend asked her why she didn't put on makeup, and the girl got so angry that she just turned around and walked away. She hasn't talked to my friend for more than a month."
Chu Yaoyao touched her chin and asked, "Is it the lipstick I sent back?"
The prince nodded, "Yes! That's the kind!"
"What color is the one you gave me?"
The prince showed a rare confused expression on his face.
"This... is divided into different colors? Aren't they all red?"
