Yuan Yao stared at Jiang Lanyue.
Hopefully, Jiang Lanyue will be smart and sensible, and won't try anything with her father!
Her damn possessiveness!
The imperial harem has countless concubines, most of whom have not borne children. Even if Lan Yue randomly picks a concubine who is considered to be favored, it will be fine.
However, choosing her father is absolutely out of the question!
Just then, Jiang Lanyue looked up at the Ninth Prince.
Her frail body trembled slightly, and after a moment, her voice trembled with tears as she whispered, "Yue'er will follow Your Majesty's arrangements. Your Majesty, please speak..."
The Ninth Prince's slender eyes flashed with coldness: "Firstly, you will remain in the palace, but you will not be raised by any concubines or the Empress. Instead, the Emperor will select a palace maid to take care of you."
Secondly, he went to Mount Fotai to accompany the Empress Dowager and cultivate his mind and character.
Hearing this, Jiang Lanyue bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes: "Is this the only place I can choose from?"
"Otherwise what?" The Ninth Prince's expression turned cold.
Jiang Lanyue opened her mouth: "Yue'er..."
At this moment, the emperor hurriedly said, "Tomorrow, I will send someone to take you to Mount Fotai. Your temperament is not suited to this palace; Mount Fotai is more suitable for you!"
Tears streamed down Jiang Lanyue's face. "Yes, Lanyue will definitely be a good girl and take good care of the Empress Dowager, and also pray for Father Emperor and Great Qi..."
"Let's disperse," the emperor said weakly.
Yuan Yao was carried by the Ninth Prince all the way back to Qianhua Palace.
As soon as we left Yong'an Palace, it started to rain.
The sky was overcast and gray.
The Ninth Prince looked up and stood under the eaves: "The rain in the palace is really cold."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao stretched out a chubby little hand and caught the rain: "Daddy, this rain isn't cold, it's cool and very comfortable!"
"Is that so?" The Ninth Prince raised his sleeve.
Her slender, well-defined fingers shone like jade in the rain.
After a moment, he frowned: "Cold."
Where is it cold?
Yuan Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then pulled the Ninth Prince's hand back and hugged it to her chest: "Father, Yao'er will be your hand warmer, so you won't be cold!"
The Ninth Prince paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You little dumpling, you really know how to make me happy..."
Of course!
Yuan Yao blinked and said, "I'm only happy when Father is happy."
"Ha ha……"
The Ninth Prince hugged her and laughed heartily for the first time.
Behind me, at the entrance to the main hall.
Li Deshan bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, your fingernail is broken and bleeding..."
The emperor gritted his teeth, staring at that tall, slender figure as she walked away: "Tell me, in what way am I inferior to that little baby?"
Li Deshan secretly wiped away a bead of sweat: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be angry with Princess Yuan Yao. You were raised under the protection of His Highness, unlike the princess. You are a brother, and the princess is a daughter. How can you compare them?"
"Hmph!" The emperor slammed his fist on the door in anger.
...
Yuan Yao was delayed for three whole days before she could return to the National Academy to study.
In the classroom, only Lan Yue's seat was empty.
Yuan Yao glanced over curiously and saw that a handsome, well-behaved, and quiet boy with striking features was sitting in the seat that had always been empty.
It is Feng Xun.
Is he feeling better?
Just as Yuan Yao was about to speak to him, Xie Zhi happened to walk in: "Oh, little Yao, you're finally back! These past two days, going to school has been so boring without you."
"Yes, I'm back," Yuan Yao said with a smile.
Xie Zhi leaned closer to her desk and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Jiang Lanyue was sent to Fotai Mountain?"
“Yes!” Yuan Yao nodded.
Xie Zhi pursed his lips: "It's fine. What she said that day really startled me."
Yuan Yao asked in confusion, "Which sentence?"
Xie Zhi leaned closer: "Just say that she didn't know the things you gave her were poisoned, and that Consort Li sprinkled sugar water into the tea and snacks."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao frowned slightly: "Yes, Lan Yue's words that day did indeed upset me."
However, she is timid and easily frightened, and perhaps she was just too scared to tell the truth.
She was sent to Mount Fotai to accompany the Empress Dowager, and after that, we probably won't have many opportunities to see her anymore.
"That's true." Xie Zhi nodded.
Yuan Yao cupped her face and smiled again, "So, we don't need to worry about her! Let's just go about our business!"
As long as she and the Ninth Prince are safe and sound, and Qianhua Palace is safe and sound, she will have no feelings for Lan Yue.
What kind of waves can a princess sent out of the palace stir up in the future?
Xie Zhi felt that Yuan Yao made sense.
He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Little Yao'er, the desserts at Qianhua Palace are really delicious. Bring me more another day!"
"Great!" Yuan Yao said happily, "Do you like to eat it too?"
"Hmm, it's a bit sweet." Xie Zhi touched his cheek. "I recently lost some teeth, and my teeth hurt if I eat too much sweet food."
toothache?
Yuan Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll make you something else later? I guarantee you've never had it before!"
"This is good!" Xie Zhi smiled, revealing his missing teeth.
Just then, a discordant voice rang out: "Tsk tsk, a grown man like you, bowing down because of a stutter, how shameful!"
Xie Zhi turned his head and said, "Hey Lin Xuan, can you even hold a plank for half a cup of tea?"
"None of your business?" Lin Xuan glared at him.
"Didn't you take care of me first?" Xie Zhi was amused.
Lin Xuan kept his eyes straight ahead: "I have a mouth, I can say whatever I want..."
Yuan Yao sat to one side, listening with a headache.
At this moment, Yun Chan, dressed in a snow-white robe, slowly walked into the school.
For some reason, even though they all wore the same school uniform, Yun Chan always looked a few shades paler than the others.
It's pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.
Yuan Yao was resting her chin on her hand, looking at the scene, when Yun Chan's gaze met hers.
Unlike before, he didn't immediately look away, but instead sized her up and down.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Yun Chan!"
Yun Chan's beautiful brows furrowed immediately, and she looked away.
Yuan Yao: "?"
This little quirk!
She was just saying hello, wasn't she?
Why are you so disgusted with her?
Ugh, I can't be bothered with him!
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan were arguing, and Yuan Yao was extremely bored, so she looked around aimlessly.
Just then, her gaze fell on Feng Xun, who was sitting obediently.
Prince Feng Xun is quite adorable!
As a mixed-race child, Feng Xun has the characteristics of Xiqiu Kingdom blood, such as high brow bones, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. At the same time, he has fair skin and a small frame, which are the characteristics of Daqi Kingdom blood.
Anyway, he's a handsome little prince.
And why do his eyes look so familiar?
Yuan Yao stared at Feng Xun for the entire morning.
In the afternoon, when school was over, there was a figure and a book in front of her.
Yuan Yao looked up and exclaimed, "Yun Chan?"
Xiao Bie Niu said expressionlessly, "You missed three days. The teacher has entrusted me to oversee your missed lessons. Make sure you are familiar with the 'Guan Ju' and 'Jian Jia' poems. Come to me in two days to recite and write them down from memory."
Come on, repeat after me once to recognize the characters.
What the heck?
Reciting the Book of Songs?
Yuan Yao looked bewildered: "Is it okay if I don't have to memorize it?"
She hates memorizing and reciting from memory!
"No!" Little Bie Niu said coldly, "You're not allowed to leave school until you finish reading today!"
