The entire courtyard was filled with people frantically copying books.
Even Hao Lie sat beside Huai Yao, occasionally offering some pointers.
When they got tired of copying books, they would sit down in pairs and play chess. When they got bored of chess, they would start playing the piano or drawing...
They were so busy they were practically rolling on the floor.
The next day, the Crown Prince brought people and refreshments to visit them.
The bruises under the prince's eyes had faded somewhat, and bathed in the morning light, he appeared even more gentle and refined.
The sense of haggardness and dejection has diminished considerably.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince, Huaiyao complained, "Crown Prince, my arms are sore..."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince smiled and said, "I can't help you with things like copying and memorizing books."
Calm down and write slowly.
Haste makes waste...
Hearing the Crown Prince lecturing, Huaiyao became anxious: "But Yunchan helped Yuan Xiaoyao copy books!"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Yuan Yao raised her little head from the Xuan paper.
There was a little ink on the tip of her nose, making it look black.
From a distance, it looks adorable.
The Crown Prince looked at her and smiled, "Yao'er, did you draw a glutinous rice ball on your face?"
sweet dumpling?
Tangyuan, who was lying at Yuan Yao's feet, yawned, raised its head, and looked around: "Aww..."
Yuan Yao gently patted Tangyuan's head before saying to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, Yao'er is copying a book!"
Before arriving at the palace, the teacher assigned some new lessons.
Although Yun Chan helped her copy many books, it wouldn't make sense for her not to copy any at all.
For example, she has to complete this new assignment on her own.
Yun Chan had to help her with embroidery and copying books, so she felt too embarrassed to slack off...
The crown prince, with one hand behind his back, smiled and said, "You all look so gloomy..."
If we finish our studies early today, I will speak with Father tomorrow and ask him to give us a day off.
There's a horse race tomorrow; if you'd like to participate, please let me know in advance.
race?
Hao Lie was the first to step forward: "I wonder how good Your Highness's horsemanship is? How about we have a couple of rides tomorrow?"
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Prince Haolie grew up on horseback, while I have only learned a little bit."
"It's alright!" Hao Lie laughed. "We'll just ride around casually, no competition."
The crown prince nodded: "Alright."
"Don't make things difficult for my brother!" Huaiyao said. "With your reckless riding style, what if you bump into my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Hao Lie immediately blushed: "I...I wouldn't offend His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Huaiyao put down his brush: "Haolie, I'm going to fight in place of my brother. How do you feel about competing against you?"
I'm going to war in my brother's place!
Upon hearing this, Hao Lie said, "You...didn't you compete against me before?"
“The races on the road don’t count!” Huaiyao said. “Tomorrow, we’ll clear the horse ranch and have a fair and square race there.”
The Crown Prince stood aside and said with a faint smile, "Huaiyao, Prince Haolie went out of his way to escort you back. It's one thing if you don't treat him well, but how can you drag him into the competition?"
Huaiyao frowned: "But he's willing!"
As she spoke, she glared at Haolie.
Haolie nodded: "I'm willing!"
These two are beyond saving.
The Crown Prince chuckled: "Alright, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll head back now."
Do your studies well and don't overwork yourselves.
A group of people hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please take care..."
The crown prince and his men disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
Yuan Yao held the brush and looked towards Yun Chan.
Just then, Yun Chan also looked at her.
Their eyes met, their expressions complex.
The Crown Prince is in pretty good shape today.
He looked very relaxed.
It seems he has truly made up his mind...
Yuan Yao put down her brush and sighed softly.
Just then, a sound came from the side: "Pfft..."
Yuan Yao turned her head to the side.
Xie Zhi held the calligraphy brush and asked in a low voice, "Little Yao'er, do you want to go to the palace tomorrow?"
Traveling to the palace?
Yuan Yao asked curiously, "What are you going out for?"
Xie Zhi lowered his voice: "My father sent some things to me, and I need to go to Sishui to pick them up."
Prince of Pingnan?
After the truce with the State of Chu, Yun Chan was sent to the State of Qi, and the Prince of Pingnan stationed troops on the border between the two countries...
Xie Zhi has been a left-behind child for many years.
Yuan Yao felt sorry for Xie Zhi for three seconds, then refused, "I'm not going!"
"Why?" Xie Zhi asked, his face full of disappointment. "What's so fun about this palace? Wouldn't it be better if I took you to the Sishui River?"
"Go by yourself," Yuan Yao said. "I have other things to do."
She has to keep an eye on the Crown Prince!
What if something happens to the Crown Prince if she leaves?
Furthermore, she didn't want to leave the Ninth Prince.
Xie Zhi was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "It's better if you don't go. I'll go and come back quickly, and when I return, I'll take you to play again!"
“Okay,” Yuan Yao replied with a smile.
The second day at the imperial palace was also spent copying books.
That evening, after washing up, Yuan Yao lay in bed for a long time before the Ninth Prince returned.
She poked her little head out and said, "Daddy."
The Ninth Prince bent his index finger and flicked the tip of her nose: "Did you wake up specifically to wait for me? Is there something you need?"
Yuan Yao nodded.
She climbed out of bed and said softly, "Father, tomorrow, the Crown Prince will take us to see Marseille."
"At that time, he might have to ride a horse..."
Horse racing is an extremely dangerous activity.
The Ninth Prince paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
“Mm!” Yuan Yao nodded.
The Ninth Prince said gently, "Go to sleep."
In her dazed state, Yuan Yao was enveloped in a cool, warm embrace...
She slept very soundly.
The next day, as expected, the sky was overcast.
The sky was overcast, and the weather was cool.
The imperial palace's horse ranch was cleared out early on.
Yuan Yao yawned and sat down in the stands.
Jing'er laughed from behind, "It's strangely cool today."
"yes."
Yuan Yao raised her small hand and pressed it against her eyelids.
Seeing this, the Ninth Prince asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Yuan Yao nodded: "My eyelids are twitching really badly..."
Her eyelids kept twitching when she woke up in the morning.
I feel terrible!
Just as the Ninth Prince was about to say something, he saw the Emperor walking towards them.
Just as Yuan Yao was about to bow, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Sit down." After saying this, he sat down next to the Ninth Prince and said, "The view is much better from here."
The Ninth Prince gave him a cold glance.
The emperor, shameless, continued, "Today, I feel very uneasy, and the imperial physicians can't figure out what's wrong with me."
Sitting next to A-Yuan should make me feel better.
The Ninth Prince remained silent, looking towards the horse racing field: "Who are these people who are going up?"
Beside him, a young eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the one in the moon-white robe is His Highness the Crown Prince. The other young masters are from the Prince's residence and the General's residence..."
The Ninth Prince nodded.
Before long, the prince mounted his horse.
He seemed to be joking with someone. After he finished joking, he spurred his horse and galloped across the grassland.
"hiss……"
Yuan Yao rubbed her eyelids and gasped.
The Ninth Prince's brow twitched, and he looked down at him: "Where does it hurt?"
Just as Yuan Yao was about to speak, a startled exclamation suddenly rang in her ears—
"Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
