Due to Rong Mama's departure midway, the etiquette class had to be suspended and the students had to review on their own.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
At seven quarters past noon, with the ringing of the bell, Hua Qingcheng's first class at the Imperial College came to an end.
"Your Highness, I wish you all the best! I am Huangfu Yueshan, the daughter of Huangfu Songyun of the Duke's Mansion. Your Highness, you are truly stunningly beautiful! You are truly our lucky star!"
The girl sitting at the end of the fourth group bowed to Hua Qingcheng (at school, people only bowed to peers) and teased.
Huangfu Yueshan (17): Consort of the Third Prince, Nalan Yichen (16). (Son of Wang Dejun and Wang Ziyin)
"What Lady Huangfu said is absolutely right!"
"Your Highness, I am Ye Dexian, the daughter of Ye Qingyi, the Minister of Revenue. We will be classmates from now on."
Deanie Yip also bowed to Hua Qingcheng.
Deanie Ip (17): Consort of the Second Prince, Nalan Junhao (17). (Son of Ouyang Yuming)
"Sure, sure."
Hua Qingcheng sat in her seat, nodding at the two without rising to return the greeting. After all, her status was there. She just needed to avoid being enemies with these people; she had no intention of being friends with them.
"Good sister, I have something good for you."
When other classmates wanted to talk to Hua Qingcheng, Wu Chen had already driven them away.
"Flower Monk, stop touching me."
Seeing Wu Chen coming to her side and directly putting his hand on her shoulder, Hua Qingcheng quickly pushed him away.
"Good sister, eat quickly! This is specially reserved for you by your brother."
Wu Chen smiled meaningfully at Hua Qingcheng, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and handed the barbecued pork buns inside to Hua Qingcheng.
(When Wu Chen was still "Hua Qingcheng", he learned from Han Yichen that "Hua Qingcheng likes to eat barbecued pork buns.")
"Barbecued pork buns?"
Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this. She thought back to those days when she ate barbecued pork buns every day for more than half a month...
"The Fourth Princess and Prince Helun are truly deeply in love. It seems this is truly a perfect match."
Just as Hua Qingcheng was immersed in the shadow of the barbecued pork buns, a woman who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and very noble walked over with a smile on her face.
"You are..." Hua Qingcheng looked at the other person with a slightly wary look.
"Fourth sister, I am your second sister, Nalan Wansheng, also known as Prince Yu."
Nalan Wansheng (18 years old, daughter of your Excellency Gu Changqing) turned the folding fan in her hand and smiled at Hua Qingcheng with a face full of sisterly love.
"It's Prince Yu, hello."
Hua Qingcheng simply ignored the other party's emphasis on seniority and addressed him directly by his title.
She wasn't so foolish as to think they were truly there for her to show affection. She only needed to be presentable with these people; they were definitely not people worth making close friends with.
"I hope I didn't disturb the Fourth Princess and Prince Helun?" Nalan Wansheng raised his eyebrows slightly at the two of them.
"Of course I'm disturbing you. Prince Yu, right? I see you have quite a lot of eyes. Can't you see I'm trying to establish a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?"
Wu Chen waved his hand directly at Nalan Wansheng, signaling her to stay away and not disturb them, the engaged couple.
Nalan Wansheng was slightly surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that the third prince of Zhaoyang Kingdom would behave so unruly. However, she suppressed her displeasure, nodded to the two of them, and then returned to her seat.
"Girl Allure~"
"No, Your Highness!"
Wu Chen, who had finally driven away all the troublemakers, suddenly heard a pleasant (noisy) voice coming from him.
But seeing a pretty girl and a handsome boy approaching, Wu Chen couldn't help but feel a little wary. Could they be coming for his "good sister" again?
"You are... Meng Yuzhen and Meng Haoling?" Hua Qingcheng didn't expect to meet the Meng siblings here again.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess has a good memory." Meng Yuzhen nodded at Hua Qingcheng.
"It seems that we are really destined to be together."
Hua Qingcheng's attitude towards the Meng siblings was obviously much better than those of the previous people. After all, they had been through hardships together.
"Yes, it's fate." Meng Yuzhen smiled bitterly.
She only recently found out that Si Lingfeng, whom she had been looking for, was actually the princess's husband when she was still a commoner.
But now that things have come to this, Meng Yuzhen can only let go of her obsession and sincerely wish the man who has always been in her heart well.
As for why the brother and sister appeared here, it was of course because Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was now studying at the Imperial College, and the Emperor had also issued a three-month marriage ban, leaving it for the Crown Princess to choose a concubine for the emperor.
Nowadays, every family in the capital city that has a man of marriageable age is trying every means to send him to the Imperial College so that he can be close to the princess and get the upper hand.
Even those who didn't have a man of marriageable age, but had daughters of similar age, would try every possible means to send them to the Imperial College. After all, the princess was the heir apparent to a kingdom, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would be the future emperor, so it was always a good idea to befriend her.
The Meng family is naturally no exception. No matter whether the siblings want to come or are willing to come, the final result is that they will be sent in by the family.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
At one o'clock in the morning, the bell for class rang.
The second class was a literature class (calligraphy, classics, etc.). The other students in Class Dizi Ding all benefited from Hua Qingcheng because the new teacher was Wen Siyin, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.
"The ancients said, 'The highest virtue is to establish virtue, the next best is to establish merit, and the next best is to establish words.' Today, what we need to learn is the word 'virtue.'"
Although Wen Siyin is not young anymore, his voice is loud and powerful.
