"Be smart and get out of the Imperial College! Is this a place where a lowly creature like you can enter?"
The Imperial College was a school specially opened for aristocratic families. Those who were qualified to study at the Imperial College were either children of high-ranking officials or royal relatives.
It's a status symbol.
"Li Tong."
"After not seeing you for so many years, you still haven't changed your petty nature."
This slow and charming voice... Li Tong got goose bumps all over his body. Thinking of that incident eight years ago, his throat began to choke. "Your Highness the Princess..."
"Your Highness the Princess..."
Ban Shu said "hmm" and stepped down from the sedan chair slowly on a stool. Her maid Cui Yu lowered her head and carefully lifted the hem of her gorgeous and complicated skirt.
"hiss……"
I don't know who was gasping.
Ever since Princess Ning Zhao had the mansion and fiefdom personally granted by His Majesty, she has been superior to them and her status is second only to His Majesty. How could they see the princess whenever they wanted?
“You…you!”
Li Tong knew since childhood that Princess Ning Zhao would be very beautiful in the future.
But no one would have thought that this cruel and ruthless princess would grow up to be so stunning and breathtaking!
He was speechless for a moment.
"Come here, drag Li Tong away and punish him with a hundred lashes of the cane!"
Pan Shu stroked the gold hairpin on her forehead, and her fingertips touched the scarlet cardamom, which was extremely rich and gorgeous.
Li Tong raised his eyes secretly, and was shaken by the girl's lazily raised lips. After a while, he lowered his head in despair.
"Your Highness, Master Li is the eldest son of the Left Minister... If he makes a mistake..."
"Beat him, and it's my fault if he kills you."
"You've gotten uglier." Pan Shu chuckled, leaning over, and lifting Li Tong's chin with her fingertips, looking at him for a moment. "You're not as pretty as when you were little. Will you cry like you did when you were little if you're beaten with a stick? You scared me that day."
Li Tong was angry, "I didn't!"
"If my servant accidentally beat you to death... would you blame me? Hmm?"
"No……"
Pan Shu smiled and said, "Cui Yu, tell someone to take good care of Master Li. If he cries, report to me immediately."
There was teasing in every word.
The other young masters except Li Tong were envious. It was a great thing to be remembered by such a beautiful princess.
"You, come here."
Pan Shu supported her chin nonchalantly.
Chu Yun pretended not to hear, staggered to his feet, and limped towards the dormitory.
Pan Shu frowned and pointed at two of the scholars casually, "Bring him here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The two scholars were quick on their feet, panting as they forced the man to his knees. "Chu Yun! This is Jixue's noble Princess Ning Zhao... How dare you disrespect me... I'll kill you!"
Chu Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, moved his eyes.
Heavy snowfall in midwinter.
Everyone else was wearing warm, thick, gorgeous clothes. Chu Yun was wearing a linen robe, an old one from who knows when, but the sleeves were too short. His face and hands were blue and purple from the cold.
The body was shaking slightly.
Elegant, shabby, embarrassing, and awkward.
"Raise your head." Ban Shu ordered, "Since Mr. Lin thinks highly of you and specially recommended you to study at the Imperial College, you should live up to his expectations."
"……Um."
Chu Yun struggled to move his lips, feeling hungry and cold, and his abdomen aching.
"Hungry? Jade."
Cui Yu understood what he meant, took out a package from the sedan chair, and threw a hot white flour bun high into the air.
"Patta", the steamed bun rolled and rolled in the snow, and finally rolled into a pool of mud and water that had just melted this morning.
"Eat," Pan Shu said with a wicked smile, "Do you think I have a good relationship with that old man Lin? Of course not! When old man Lin was my tutor, he was so bad, always saying that I was wrong in this or that. I hate this old man Lin so much..."
"You are not allowed to bring him food today. I want to see if this bastard will eat this steamed bun."
People all say that the eldest princess is willful and capricious, but now they have finally seen what it is like!
To put it nicely, it's willful and capricious; to put it bluntly, it's vicious and cruel!
Chu Yun slowly raised his body, staring at the beautiful yet poisonous woman in front of him with blurred vision. A sense of humiliation arose in his heart. He swore... the day he gained power would be the day this woman died!
Pan Shu sat down lazily and said, "Go ahead."
Ban Shu raised her lips innocently, "Why are you looking at me? If you don't go now, those steamed buns will be gone."
Chu Yun was embarrassed and limped to the muddy puddle, where he suddenly fell down. He gritted his teeth and tightly grasped the steamed bun that smelled of mud, stuffing it into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
"Host, you're going too far."
The system glanced at Chu Yun, who was leaning against a tree trunk and vomiting until he was about to faint. "You obviously just need to help him out."
"How can that be possible? My reputation for cruelty has spread throughout Jixue. If I suddenly became a different person, do you think they would be suspicious?"
The system was puzzled, "But you are not."
Pan Shu laughed, "You are a system, you don't understand."
"I will understand. You can tell me anything." The system does not like the feeling of knowing nothing.
This made him very sad.
"Okay, don't be sad, Qiqi."
"You say, a good person does a bad thing, a bad person does a good thing... what's the difference?"
"If a good person does a bad thing... it will overturn everyone's perception of him, and he will become an unforgivable sinner... But if a bad person does a good thing, everyone will think he is kind by nature... He is not a bad person, he has simply gone astray..."
Pan Shu nodded slightly.
"I've never liked being a good person. At least, I don't want to leave the impression of a good person in everyone's mind, leaving myself some room for... selfishness... Therefore, most of the time, I prefer to be a bad person."
“When you’re a bad person, no one will condemn your selfishness because it’s perfectly normal.”
"Your Highness, Master Li doesn't want the imperial physician to prescribe medicine and has gone back on his own."
"Huh? Can you go back by yourself?" Pan Shu was interested.
"He was sent by Lord Li..."
"Well, step back."
Pan Shu glanced at Chu Yun and said, "Come with me."
Chu Yun obeyed, and suddenly there was an extra weight on his shoulders. He looked at Pan Shu in surprise.
Pan Shu looked impatient, "You're wearing so little, I feel cold just looking at you..."
Chu Yun silently clutched his precious warm cloak and said thank you warmly.
Linghua Palace.
After being confiscated, the eldest princess of Banshu moved into Linghua Palace, which was the residence of the legitimate queen, and the biological mother of the original body.
But the legitimate queen did not love the original body, and died of frailty after giving birth to Chen Que.
However, during the two years when the empress was still alive, she was quite nice to Panshu.
Princess Ning Zhao had no name. Since she was born, she was either called "Your Highness" or "Nannan".
When he grew up a little, he was given the title "Ning Zhao".
When she was ten years old, Lin Gunian wanted to give her a name, a name of his own, and then Ban Shu wrote down these two words.
That was originally her name.
Lin Gunian then called her "Shushu" in private and "Ning Zhao" in public.
"Your Highness, all the dishes have been served, and the incense burner is filled with the fine silver charcoal gifted by His Majesty." Cui Yu said this and quietly retreated.
