Chapter 258: [Emperors Story 10] sh
Wanwan, lets go. If that corp- Sixth Brother finds out we were here, Ill be scolded by Consort Mother!
Fifth Princess Jing Ya pulled on her good friends hand, simply unwilling to linger in this ce any longer.
She had always disdained Jing Chen and had been frightened by his unsightly face, falling ill when she was young. Later on, she ordered the eunuchs and pce maids to y tricks on him, after all, the cursed prince wouldnt dare retaliate against her, and made him eat leftovers and drink filthy pond water, or even crawl back and forth on the ground like a dog. Despite making him do all these degrading things, she had only seen the brat remain silent and unresistant, so after long, she had grown tired of it.
Who couldve expected that the cursed prince actually charmed Mother Consort? She started treating him like a real son, even going so far as to bar her from ying pranks on him. Jing Ya simply couldnt believe this, soter on, she started to deliberately y her old tricks again, trying to test him. However, she only ended up suffering a defeat after trying to steal the chicken, suffering the consequences of her own actions.
Over time, Jing Ya felt that Jing Chen had be terribly evil, so even though she wasnt happy with him, she also didnt want to have any more contact with him.Advertisements
However, her good friend kept harping in her ear, saying that she wanted to see the Imperial Preceptors graceful bearing. Jing Ya couldnt bear her constant requests any longer, so she quickly brought her over to the study. Yet, it was ss time now, so without anyone in sight and with nothing fun to y within their vicinity, Jing Ya soon grew impatient after a short while.
Lets wait a little while longer. Yun Wans small face brimmed with earnesty, Please, Jing Ya. I heard that Imperial Preceptor Jiang had been collecting local cultural material everywhere he went and hadpiled a book called Travels in the Five Continents. I wanted to ask him if I could take a look.
Jing Ya impatiently pursed her lips, You really mustve lost a screw after studying so much. I cant believe you would be interested in such a nd book! She already felt vexed after being roped into studying all day every day, yet this girl actually went so far as to beg for a look out of her own ord.

What she nned to do was to get on Imperial Preceptor Jiangs good side and use this opportunity to get taken in as his disciple, causing her reputation to once again rise in the capital!Advertisements
Thinking this, Yun Wan tightly held the manuscript filled with her detailed notes from her previous research and expectantly gazed towards the closed study room doors until she heard the sound of them opening.
As the morning lecture finally came to an end, the princes all walked out, preparing to head to the side chamber for lunch. Each apanying eunuch also immediately followed right behind them.
Chu Jiao obediently took her masters bag and unscrewed the water pouch, handing it over. The inside contained her home-cooked, quenching pickled plum soup, which was both sweet and tasty. Jing Chen abhorred the summer heat and loved drinking it the most during a hot day like this.
The ancient way of schooling could not bepared to modern times. Moreover, the royal familys rules were strict. When the teacher was in the middle of lecture, they could not drink nor eat, so one could only imagine how much suffering they had undergone by sitting for an entire morning.
When the two hands made contact amidst the passing of the water pouch, Chu Jiao identally bumped into someones back unguarded, the pouch she was holding knocked out of her hands.
As the liquid loosely scattered out in the air, Chu Jiao also lost bnce and fell on the doorstep. However, Jing Chen had keen eyes and sharp hands, instinctively reaching out an arm to hook around the little eunuchs waist.
Why
Was it so slender?
With many people all around them, Jing Chen merely rubbed his fingers on her slender waist for a moment before reluctantly withdrawing his hand. He deliberately scolded Chu Jiao, You clumsy fool! However, his mind continued to linger on the surprising sensation he had felt with his hand.
Chu Jiao lowered her head to admit her wrongdoing when she suddenly heard a surprised and aggrieved cry at the side.
Ah! My manuscript!
As it turned out, when Chu Jiao had collided with someone, the sour plum soup in her water pouch sshed all over the manuscript in Yun Wans hand.Advertisements
Chu Jiaos heart dropped with a clunk as she quickly kneeled to beg for mercy.
This ve was blind to collide with thedy. Begging thedy for forgiveness!
In the pce, where statuses heavily mattered, this was always the case. If you were the master, whatever you did was right. If you hit someone, youd be easily let off. However, if you were a ve, even if the master carelessly stepped on you, you could only admit your wrongs by saying that you had ced your foot on the wrong area.
Chu Jiao had lived here for several years now and was even following an unloved prince. She carried herself extremely carefully because she had already learned this logic deep in her bones.
At this moment, she could not denounce the Fifth Princess for carelessly bumping into her, causing the liquid to ssh out. Right now, she could only admit her wrongs.
Wuu Yun Wan stared at the manuscript that had be a blotchy mess due to the ink spreading out from being stained by the liquid, her eyes growing wet with tears, This took me several months of careful research to make. Wuuuu. I-I originally wanted to ask the Imperial Preceptor for guidance She timidly shot a nce at the old man inside the room with eyes of distress as though she was a littledy who wanted to ask for pointers.
You blind ve!
Upon seeing his beautiful younger female cousins teary face, the Fourth Prince immediately sent an angry kick to Chu Jiao but was quickly barred by Jing Chen.
Whats wrong? Sixth Brother, are you going to plead for leniency for this little eunuch?
Worried about not having an opportunity to control Jing Chen, the Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes.
If brother acts without any knowledge of right or wrong, it wouldnt be too good right? Jing Chen stood in front of Chu Jiao with apletely straight back and face as calm as water.
