Chapter 45 A Little Bit of Stubbornness and Shyness



The scene was quite awkward at one point.

This scene is just like when I wrote my crush's name in a book in junior high school and the teacher read it out to the whole class...

Yuan Yao pressed her elbows tightly onto the Xuan paper, opened her bright, sparkling eyes, and pleaded, "Master, Yuan Yao was wrong. Please don't accept this, okay?"

From now on, I will definitely pay close attention in class!

She was young and naturally endearing, and her ability to charm and coax made her irresistible to the teacher...

The teacher stroked his non-existent beard and pretended to be serious: "Hmm! Pay attention in class."

"Good teacher!" Yuan Yao smiled, her eyes sparkling.

She crumpled the rice paper into a ball, put it in the wastepaper basket, and focused on her lesson.

After school.

Yuan Yao was tidying up her writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone when a cheeky voice called out from the side, "Sweet Flavor Residence, Milk Fragrance Pavilion, Sweet Words..."

Yuan Yao: "?"

She turned her head away: "Lin Xuan, you're so annoying."

That brat, why does he have to bring up something he doesn't want to talk about!

Lin Xuan tidied up his desk and said provocatively, "Yuan Yao, you're so cheesy."

Yuan Yao: "..."

She's angry!

Lin Xuan, that brat, how can he be so annoying at such a young age?

It's only been a few days since they were disciplined, and they've already relapsed?

They have absolutely no memory!

The best way to deal with these kinds of unruly kids is to ignore them!

Yuan Yao pretended that Lin Xuan was invisible, lifted her foot to walk out, and called out to Xie Zhi, who was running out in a flash: "Xie Zhi, wait for me."

Xie Zhi stopped running and asked with a smile, "Xiao Yao'er, I need to go outside the city gate to get something later. Do you want to ride a horse? I'll take you with me."

There are horses to ride!

Yuan Yao was quite tempted.

She asked, "What are you going to get?"

The Imperial Academy is quite far from the city gates of Beijing.

Moreover, if she returns to the palace late, her father will be worried...

Xie Zhi stood there waiting for her: "Get the chicken!"

chicken?

Yuan Yao was puzzled: "What kind of chicken is worth you coming all this way?"

"You wouldn't understand," Xie Zhi said mysteriously, "This chicken of mine cost quite a bit of money!"

Yuan Yao pouted.

No wonder they're royalty—rich and willful!

She thought for a moment and then refused, saying, "I'd better not go with you. If I get back to the palace late, Father will worry. Besides, it wouldn't be good if we encountered any danger."

Xie Zhi nodded, "That's true." He reached out and pinched Yuan Yao's chubby little face, and said with a smile, "I'll take you to play again another day."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

At this time, there were still many people in the school.

Yuan Yao was about to go out.

A soft, gentle voice called out to her: "Princess Yuan Yao."

The voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar.

Yuan Yao turned her head and saw that the person who called her was Prince Feng Xun of Xiqiu Kingdom.

Feng Xun had been sick a few days ago and had missed a lot of classes. In addition, he was from Xiqiu Kingdom, so no one paid attention to him in the school.

He wasn't as cold as Yun Chan, nor as carefree as Xie Zhi, nor as easily angered as Lin Xuan.

He doesn't deliberately seek out people to talk to. He attends classes attentively every day, is quiet and well-behaved, and although he is young, he has the air of a mature and steady little adult.

Yuan Yao had a good impression of this beautiful and well-behaved child.

Her eyes crinkled as she smiled at Feng Xun: "What's wrong?"

Feng Xun adjusted his robe, stood up, and walked towards Yuan Yao, smiling at her, "I've tasted the tea, snacks, and cherries that the princess sent earlier. They were delicious. Thank you."

So it was to thank her for the cherries.

Yuan Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said in a childish voice, "You're welcome! I'm so happy to hear that you like the food I bring!"

Her confidence in opening a dessert shop is growing stronger and stronger!

Yun Chan, not far away: "..."

Yuan Yao continued, "Recently, I've had people researching a lot of delicious dishes. Once they're ready, I'll send some over to you!"

Feng Xun was a little embarrassed: "How can I do this..."

It is said that when he was seriously ill, it was the Ninth Prince who saved him, and the Ninth Prince was able to help him, supposedly entirely thanks to the lovely Princess Yuan Yao in front of him.

They saved her and even brought her food; he didn't know how to repay them...

Seeing Feng Xun's face flush red as she looked up at his neck, Yuan Yao said generously, "I'm happy if others like what I have! You're not allowed to refuse!"

She's petite, but she speaks with such a commanding presence.

A blush crept onto Feng Xun's pretty face.

No matter how Yuan Yao looked at it, she couldn't help but think Feng Xun was adorable.

He's so cute!

She's beautiful, well-behaved, and gentle...

She's such an angel!

Yuan Yao couldn't resist inviting, "Feng Xun, are you going back to the palace? Let's go out together!"

Feng Xun was about to nod.

Suddenly, Yun Chan, who was not far away, called out coldly, "Yuan Yao."

Yuan Yao turned her head to look.

Yun Chan raised a book and uttered two merciless words: "Die from memory."

Yuan Yao: "..."

After she finished memorizing "Guan Ju" and "Jian Jia", it was her day off. Then, she spent all her time busy with her money-making plans.

She had long forgotten about dictation.

Looking at the schoolroom gradually emptying out, Yuan Yao looked pitifully at Yun Chan: "Can I write it another day?"

Dictation is so annoying!

She longed to return to Qianhua Palace immediately to devise a grand plan for making money!

Yun Chan stared at her for a moment: "No."

Yuan Yao: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that Xiaobieniu is pretty, she wouldn't have been able to bear it.

Feeling wronged, she said to Feng Xun, "Feng Xun, you should go back first. I need to finish my dictation before I go home."

Feng Xun glanced at Yun Chan before saying, "Then I'll be going now."

Yun Chan didn't even blink.

Yuan Yao sat back down, angrily opened the book, and said to Yun Chan, "Wait until I recite it two more times!"

I really miss the simplified Chinese characters of the past. Ancient characters were just so much harder to write!

I cried...

Yuan Yao kept opening and closing the book, going back and forth several times, before finally asking Yun Chan, "Can I just recite one passage from memory today?"

Yun Chan said calmly, "One must not be lazy when it comes to learning."

Slacking off...?

She's just not very good at writing traditional Chinese characters!

Yuan Yao thought to herself: Show me all my knowledge, and I'll scare you to death!

What a stubborn brat!

She cupped her face in her hands, puffed out her cheeks, and asked, "Really not allowed?"

Yun Chan's expression remained unchanged: "Hmm."

Yuan Yao's mind raced, and after a moment, she said pitifully, "Brother Yun Chan, please let me go."

It's getting late, Yao'er will be scared..."

Yun Chan stiffened almost imperceptibly when she called him "Brother Yun Chan".

He said, "...Speak properly."

She's being a little awkward and shy again!

Yuan Yao was extremely pleased with herself, and continued in a pitiful tone, "Brother Yun Chan, I heard that there used to be a mass grave under the National Academy, and many human bones were dug out when the foundation was being built."

Do you think ghosts might be lurking around the Academy of Chinese Studies? They might come out and snatch children to eat as soon as it gets dark...?

"I'm so small, what if a ghost takes me away?"

Yun Chan felt a chill run through her body, and the hairs on her body stood on end beneath her wide sleeves. She still forced herself to remain calm and said, "With me here, the ghost won't catch you."

"But..." Yuan Yao covered her mouth, afraid, "What if they kidnap you first?"

"You...you stop talking!"

Yun Chan covered her mouth and coughed. Her already pale skin became even paler, and her frail body swayed precariously.
