Dressed as the vicious ex-wife of a villain
Chapter 198 Ci Yang × Going to School
Shiyang walked into the front yard with Wenqin from afar, and saw Shi Yuanhua and Wang sitting with Brother Cheng in the open pavilion, and the family of three was eating happily.
The autumn evening is cool and pleasant, the osmanthus trees beside the open pavilion are fragrant, and the evening breeze is blowing.
Shi Yuanhua gave Cheng Geer a piece of Longjing shrimp, and Cheng Geer dutifully gave Wang a piece of glutinous lotus root, while Wang placed Shi Yuanhua's favorite steamed seabass in front of him.
The table was full, but there wasn't a single dish that Shiyang liked.
Shiyang's eyes hurt a little. She closed her eyes and took a breath, but suddenly recalled Wang's face in the first world. She always felt that there was something she had forgotten.
However, before she could think about it, Mrs. Wang had already seen her. She put down her chopsticks and said in a loud voice: "Sister, what are you doing standing here? Come and sit down to eat. I originally said I would wait until you come before using the chopsticks, but now When my brother complained that he was hungry, your father said that he was just having a meal as a family and left him alone."
Wang's face looked apologetic, as if she was really embarrassed for not waiting for Shiyang.
Shiyang looked at her smiling face and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. The scene in the first world where he fell into Gu Ci's arms due to a car accident appeared in front of his eyes.
For a moment, Shiyang felt that all the hairs on his body were standing on end, and his face looked a little ugly.
In Shi Yuanhua's eyes, he felt that his daughter was acting like a young lady again and was looking down on her stepmother.
Although Shi Yuanhua dotes on his daughter, he also has a common problem among ancient men. He always feels that his father's authority cannot be challenged. His wife is his choice and she is his accessory. If his daughter does not respect his wife, she is also giving him trouble.
Then Shi Yuanhua's tone became a bit stern: "Yangyang, your mother is talking to you, what are you doing standing there? Don't you see the whole family is waiting for you to sit down?"
Only then did Shi Yang come back to his senses and exhale.She tried hard to suppress the panic caused by discovering that her memory was incomplete, put on a smiley expression, knelt down and saluted, and then sat obediently opposite Shi Yuanhua.
When Shi Yuanhua saw that she was no longer as tough as before to contradict her parents, she immediately laughed again and was pleased to think that her daughter had indeed made some progress after marriage.
So he smiled and picked up a shrimp and put it in Shiyang's bowl.
Shi Yang ate the shrimps in the bowl numbly, slowly calming down.
Then she heard Shi Yuanhua say to her: "Yangyang, my father has been busy with official duties recently and forgot to tell you that a few days ago, His Majesty announced that your uncle, me and several other senior ministers have entered the palace, and ordered us to send our daughter to the palace to study with her."
Shi Yuanhua's tone was rare and somewhat flattering and comforting. He carefully considered every word he spoke, as if he was afraid that Shi Yang would offend and cause trouble.
Of course Shiyang knew in her heart that Shi Yuanhua had not forgotten about this matter. He probably delayed telling her until the last moment on purpose, fearing that she would find out about it early and use some crooked brain to cause trouble.
This life is no better than the first. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. When dealing with the royal family, one bad move will destroy the family.
Shiyang will not be the only one who will be unlucky then.
Shi Yang was sarcastic in his heart, but he responded obediently: "Yes, my daughter knows. My cousin came to the house yesterday and told me."
Shi Yuanhua prepared a lot of words of persuasion and warning, but they were all choked in his throat by Shi Yang's calm attitude.He didn't know what to say for a moment, and unexpectedly looked at his daughter who was very different today.
Shi Yuanhua was surprised that his daughter didn't make a fuss when she found out about the matter yesterday, and he was also pleased that her daughter seemed to have really let go of the prince.A smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he even picked up the wine bottle and poured Shiyang a glass of wine.
"This is the green plum wine your cousin brought back from Jiangnan. It is not strong and sweet in the mouth. You will enter the palace tomorrow, so today you will have a few drinks with your father."
Shiyang was thinking about the memory, but seeing Shi Yuanhua's eyes full of diligence, she had no choice but to pick up the cup and drink with Shi Yuanhua obediently.
Shi Yuanhua had something on his mind, and Lao Huai was very relieved. The more he looked at his daughter, the happier he became, and he returned to his loving fatherly appearance. He repeatedly asked Shi Yang if he needed to buy any new clothes or jewelry when entering the palace, and also He promised to give her the best Qixingyan Baiduan inkstone he had recently acquired, so that she could enter the palace and study diligently.
Shiyang drank the fruit wine, which tasted delicious. It was not as strong as modern wine and always had a bitter taste. The wine was a bit sour, with more of the sweetness of the fruit, more like juice.
In addition, her father promised her a lot of good things, and even Yueyin gave her [-]% of the money. Shiyang put aside her doubts for a moment and happily drank and chatted with Shi Yuanhua.
Mrs. Wang looked at the father and daughter who were particularly harmonious today, and it suddenly seemed like when she first married into the Hou family.
Mrs. Wang was like this at that time, silently watching the intimate Shi family father and daughter, sitting beside them awkwardly and without a sense of presence. She always felt that she was not like the mistress of the family, but more like serving the Shi family. A servant for the father and daughter to eat.
Wang remembered that her many years of hard work, coupled with her daughter's death, had created a estrangement between Shiyang's father and daughter.
Later, with Brother Cheng, she finally broke the deadlock.
But seeing that Shiyang had only slept well for two days, everything seemed to be returning to its original state...
Mrs. Wang glanced at her ignorant son who was eating beside him, gritted his teeth, put on a very loving smile, and said to Shiyang: "I heard from my servants that the eldest sister and my uncle are very close to each other recently. Tomorrow, the eldest sister will We are about to enter the palace, so we have to rest early today, and we must not miss the time for school."
These words were called concern, but they were actually admonitions, and they had the vague intention of accusing Shi Yuanhua.
Wen Qin frowned slightly when she heard this. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang. When she met Nanny Liu's gaze, she put on a professional fake smile and they both lowered their heads.
After hearing Wang's words, Shi Yuanhua thought of the rumors he had heard recently, and the smile in his eyes faded a bit.
It was a good thing that her daughter was no longer obsessed with the prince. Although her marriage to Gu Ci was a last resort, since they were married, Shi Yuanhua naturally wanted to see harmony between her daughter and son-in-law.
But if you are only obsessed with sensual things at a young age...
Shi Yuanhua looked at his young and beautiful daughter, thinking of Gu Ci's face that was too beautiful for a man, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. He thought to himself that he must not let Gu Ci's charming and charming person lead his precious daughter astray. .
Shiyang didn't understand what kind of lawsuit was going on among these masters and servants. After hearing Wang's words, she only thought of one thing: "Father, my daughter heard that married people are not allowed to stay in the palace without the Queen's decree. My daughter I still want to live at home.”
When Wang heard this, she felt bad. Why did she remind Shiyang of this?
I originally thought that by sending Shi Yang, this annoying spirit, to the palace, she would be able to calm down for a few days. Who would have thought that she would have to go home and live there every day? What's the difference between that and not entering the palace?
So without waiting for Yuanhua to reply, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to say: "Sister, Hongwen Hall has morning reading every morning at right time. If you stay at home, you have to get up an hour earlier than your classmates. You have been weak since you were young. How can you bear it?"
Wang said it sincerely and looked very caring about Shiyang's body. Shi Yuanhua nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and pointed at the tip of Shiyang's nose which was slightly red from drinking and said: "Your mother is right, you You're a lazy little cat who loves to stay in bed. It's because of this that I allow you not to worry about your mother's morning and evening hours. If you stay at home, won't you be late every day? It's just the queen's decree. She asked your mother to come to the palace to serve you. All I ask is that our Qingyuan Marquis Mansion still has some face."
Mrs. Wang quickly helped: "Yes, eldest sister, I will submit a post to the palace tomorrow to see the empress and ask for a decree for you."
Hearing this, Shi Yang was sober for the most part, and hurriedly hugged Shi Yuanhua's arm, and coquettishly took advantage of the drunkenness: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to stay in the East Palace. My daughter just wants to live at home with you. My daughter promises, every day You must get up when the sun is shining and you will never be late!”
Shi Yang and Ji Hou became more and more naughty and stubborn, and Shi Yuanhua became more and more strict with her. Whenever the father and daughter met, they would often get into arguments.When eating together, Shiyang would either get sulky or throw up his sleeves and leave.
Father and daughter have not been so close and happy together for several years.
Shi Yuanhua looked at his daughter resting on his shoulder, and his heart softened: "Can you really get up? You don't have to spend three days fishing and two days drying the net."
Seeing that something was going wrong, Mrs. Wang quickly fanned the flames: "Master Marquis, this nun at the women's school is a person close to the queen."
Shi Yuanhua suddenly felt a little worried again. It would be fine if it was another school. His daughter in Qingyuan went to bed late and no one dared to say anything.
But the Hongwen Hall is in the East Palace after all, and the teacher is the person close to the queen.
Shi Yuanhua is the Minister of the Ministry of War and is not part of the Queen's party in the court. If the other party takes control, it is not a big deal, but if the other party makes a fuss and insists on arguing, Shi Yuanhua cannot protect her.
Shi Yuanhua then began to ponder again.
Shiyang was a little anxious when she saw this. Thinking of not seeing Gu Ci for so long, and the energy from the fruit wine, she felt like crying when she felt aggrieved.
The corners of her eyes suddenly turned red and filled with tears. She held her father's sleeves and shook them aggrievedly, begging him with choked sobs: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to live in the East Palace. My daughter wants to come home every day."
Shi Yuanhua was startled, looking at the pitiful appearance of his daughter who never showed weakness, and couldn't help but remember that when she had just lost her mother when she was young, she would cling to him all the time every day, and would cry all over the yard looking for her father when he didn't see her, for fear of Her father also abandoned her.
Then I thought about how my daughter once loved the prince wholeheartedly, and now the prince is about to get married. Although the Holy Father is not satisfied with the marriage, her daughter has already married the deposed prince Gu Ci, and it is no longer possible for her to be with the prince Gu Yan.
It was already embarrassing and humiliating to ask her to accompany the future crown princess, and to let her live in the East Palace was to rub salt into her wounds, making it difficult for her to endure it.
Shi Yuanhua's heart softened completely. He patted his daughter's hand distressedly and said softly: "Okay, okay, Yangyang won't live in the East Palace if she doesn't want to. Father will arrange for you the best carriage and carriage in the house." Guard, I will pick you up and drop you off on time every day."
Shiyang became happy and smiled: "My daughter knows that my father loves me the most."
Seeing his daughter crying and laughing, Shi Yuanhua helplessly took out a handkerchief and wiped her face gently: "Look at you, just tell your father if you have anything to say. You are crying and laughing at the same time, and your little face is covered in tears. It’s a little cat.”
Shiyang pouted: "Isn't the little cat cute?"
Shi Yuanhua was amused by her and laughed: "Cute. In my father's heart, my Yangyang is the cutest girl in the world."
When Shiyang saw that his father was happy, he took the initiative and asked for a guard with the best swordsmanship in the whole house.
Wang, who had been secretly gritting his teeth on the side and ready to move, heard this and immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, subconsciously grabbing Brother Cheng beside him.
Shi Yuanhua agreed without much thought.
During this meal, Shiyang and Shi Yuanhua had a warm and harmonious meal of father, daughter, filial piety, and they did not disperse until the moon came out.
Wang held Cheng Ge'er, who was already sleepy and asleep, and looked at Shiyang's back being supported by Wenqin, feeling angry in her heart.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Madam, I'm afraid that Mr. Hou is a little drunk. You'd better leave Dalang to me and take care of him."
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son and was afraid that he would wake up and would not let go.
Aunt Liu lowered her voice and said: "The Marquis is in a good mood today. If Madam doesn't go, what if the Marquis goes to the West Courtyard..."
In the west courtyard, Shi Yuanhua's concubine, the Bai family, lived.
Bai was the dowry maid of Shiyang's biological mother. When Shiyang's biological mother, Xie, became pregnant, she was taken as a concubine by Xie.
But after Mr. Xie died of illness, Shi Yuanhua remembered Mr. Xie when he saw Ms. Bai, and gradually alienated Mr. Bai due to grief.
Even so, Shi Yuanhua took good care of Bai because of his relationship with Mrs. Xie. He never treated her badly in terms of food and clothing, and always told Mr. Wang to be more lenient to her.
It was Bai's duty to worship Buddha and pray for Xie in the courtyard every day, and rarely appeared in front of Shi Yuanhua.
Mrs. Wang also wished that the Marquis could not think of Mrs. Bai, and never asked her to read her mind every morning and dusk, eliminating the possibility of her appearing in the main courtyard.
Therefore, although the two lived in the same house, they had not seen each other for several years.
But during the Spring Festival last year, Shi Yang suddenly thought of Bai Shi for some reason, and asked Shi Yuanhua to invite Bai Shi out to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Wang was surprised to find that after so many years, Bai was still as young as she was when she was young, with tight skin and a voluptuous figure.Although her appearance is just that of Xiaojiabiyu, she is nearly forty but has not aged, and is fair and plump like a girl in her teens, which is really stunning.
What's more, compared to a young girl, Bai has a little more tenderness of a young woman. In addition, she worships Buddha all the year round. She has a kind of tranquility that has passed through the years, just like a cup of tea. Even if she just stands there quietly, it makes people feel... peaceful.
Xu Shi Xie passed away many years ago, and time has healed the pain in Shi Yuanhua's heart.Perhaps when a man reaches Shi Yuanhua's age, he prefers a woman with such a calm temperament. Shi Yuanhua gradually no longer alienates Bai, and in the past year, he often stays in the West Courtyard.
Although Bai is in her 30s, if she takes good care of herself, there are not many women who will give birth to children in their 30s.
After being reminded by Nanny Liu, Mrs. Wang no longer cared about waking up her son. She could only hand him to Nanny Liu amidst Brother Cheng's dissatisfied grunts, and quickly caught up with Shi Yuanhua who was being supported by the servant. People helped him to the main courtyard.
Shiyang was a little dazed under the stamina of the fruit wine, muttering Gu Ci's name all the way, and was helped back by Wenqin and Tinghua.
Gu Ci had just come out of the shower and was putting on the "noble prince's nightgown" designed by Shiyang.
The outer robe is a burgundy long-sleeved toga, made of fine velvet.On the deep burgundy velvet, the magnificent dark vine patterns spread like life under the dim candlelight, as if spreading to the ground along the tail of the robe.
Underneath the outer robe is a fragrant cloud gauze lining robe. The lavender fragrant cloud gauze shimmers with Gu Ci's movements, revealing his fair and delicate skin. His perfect collarbones and smooth muscle lines are displayed here. It is faintly hidden under a layer of gauze, flowing ambiguously under the candlelight, attracting people's attention...
Shiyang pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Gu Ci standing in the candlelight wearing a nightgown like this. His waist-length hair had been made somewhat shiny by Shiyang, and was draped loosely on his shoulders, stroking the disobedient hair a few times. Broken hair fell down on his delicate cheeks, making his already delicate face look even more fragile and attractive.
Shi Yang was stunned and felt something flowing down the corner of his mouth.
Gu Ci had already heard her calling his name since he entered the yard. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he speeded up his dressing movements.
When he heard the door knock, he turned around, but after waiting for a long time, he saw no movement from the person at the door, so he tilted his ear slightly and called her: "Miss?"
Only then did Shi Yang come back to his senses and quickly wiped the saliva from his chin.Then he remembered something and turned around to see Ting Hua standing beside him with his mouth slightly open and Wen Qin standing next to him with his head hanging down and his body tense. He waved his hands awkwardly: "You don't need to serve me here anymore."
After speaking, he slammed the door shut.
She was afraid that her words would be read by others again.
Of course only Shiyang could read such beautiful words.
Outside the door, Wenqin, who was greatly relieved, hurriedly grabbed Tinghua, who was still lost in thought, and walked out quickly.
Ting Hua murmured as if he had lost his soul: "No wonder it is said outside that my uncle is a vixen... This is so pretty..."
Wenqin quickly covered her mouth and gave her a warning look: "No matter how beautiful it is, you are not allowed to look at it again! Be careful that the eldest lady will get jealous and gouge your eyes out!"
Ting Hua thought of the eldest lady's methods when she was angry. His skin tightened all over, he covered his eyes, and asked nervously: "If I tell the eldest lady tomorrow that I didn't see anything, will she believe it?"
Wenqin said speechlessly: "The eldest lady will go to the palace tomorrow to read with me, so she may not be able to remember this matter. But you have to be more careful in the future."
Ting Hua then patted his chest, exhaled a breath, clasped his hands and prayed that the eldest lady would really forget this matter tomorrow.
At this time, in the east wing room, Gu Ci was startled when he heard the door ringing, and called out again with concern: "Miss?"
Shi Yang wiped his saliva and couldn't help but feel lucky that Gu Ci couldn't see him, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.
Then he giggled and said, "I'm fine."
Gu Ci frowned slightly when he heard her voice was drunk. He skillfully reached for the teapot on the table, poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
After Shiyang drank the wine, she saw Gu Ci's outfit again. She felt her mouth was dry, her tongue was dry, and her whole body was feeling hot. When she saw him thoughtfully pouring water, she hurriedly went up and poured herself a glass.
Only then did I feel clearer, but my eyes were glued to Gu Ci's body like roots. From top to bottom and then from bottom to top, I felt that there was scenery everywhere, every inch of it. I didn't know where to stop my eyes for a moment. .
Her mind was not on speaking, so she seemed a little confused when answering the question: "A little, wine."
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Ci's lips slightly raised, and he approached her following the direction of the voice. Based on his estimated height from the past few days of contact, he stretched out his long arms and wrapped his arms around Shi Yang's waist, took her into his arms, and asked in a low voice. :"drunk?"
Shiyang was caught off guard and pulled into his arms. His heart suddenly beat without rhythm, and his breathing became chaotic. He felt that the whole room was spinning with Gu Ci. His body was limp and without strength, and he leaned against his arms. Li shook his head in confusion, remembering that he couldn't see, and said: "No..."
Although he denied it, his voice was too weak, more like the mumbling of a child in his sleep.
Gu Ci just thought it was cute and asked her, "What kind of wine did you drink?"
Shiyang leaned in Gu Ci's arms, looked up at his perfect, god-like face, and replied dreamily: "Green plum wine."
Gu Ci lowered his head, and the two people's faces drew closer, and asked again: "Does it taste good?"
Shiyang's vision was a little blurry because of the close distance, so he only replied in a daze: "It tastes good."
After becoming blind, Gu Ci's sense of smell, touch, and hearing became extremely sensitive.
At this moment, the girl's warm breath hit Gu Ci's face as she spoke, and his breath was instantly filled with the unique sweet aroma of green plum wine. This smell was mixed with the unique fragrance of the girl, and it seemed to be real. It flowed into his heart along with Gu Ci's breathing, lingering.
Gu Ci's voice was slightly hoarse: "Give me a taste."
As Gu Ci said this, he kissed Shiyang's tender lips.
The effect of alcohol amplified Shiyang's feelings several times, and the kiss seemed even hotter and more seductive than usual.
The shy string in Shiyang's mind seemed to be numbed by alcohol. In just a moment, she opened her arms and hugged Gu Ci's neck, responding to his kiss passionately and arrogantly.
The delicate tongue in Gu Ci's mouth swept away the remaining sanity in Gu Ci's mouth like an attack on a city. She held his lips arrogantly and domineeringly, sucking insatiably, as if she wanted to tear him apart and take possession of him completely.
Gu Ci's reason was burned by the girl's enthusiasm. With a strong push, he lifted the person up by his buttocks.
Shiyang was caught off guard and was picked up by Gu Ci. The panic of weightlessness made her legs subconsciously wrap around Gu Ci's slender but powerful waist.At such a height, she no longer needed to use her feet. She held Gu Ci's face obsessively, her fingertips gently caressing the young man's delicate and hot cheeks, and she kissed him more passionately.
Although Gu Ci had only kissed Shiyang for the third time, he had already learned to take her for a breather with his excellent understanding.
The kiss was long and hot, and there seemed to be endless lingering love between their lips and teeth.
Gu Ci just kissed Shiyang, holding her in his arms and walking towards the bed step by step.
It wasn't until he gently placed Shiyang on the bed that the two separated breathlessly, their hot breaths intertwined, full of unfinished passion.
Shiyang opened her hazy eyes and looked at Gu Ci, who was leaning over her body. Her throat was tight due to the surging love in her body. Her hot fingertips lingeringly caressed Gu Ci's hair, which seemed to be under the candlelight. With his bare collarbone, he said in a hoarse voice: "Gu Ci, hold me."
The last trace of Gu Ci's remaining sanity was shattered by the girl's lustful request. He couldn't care about anything else. He leaned over and pressed tightly against the girl's soft and warm body, kissing her hotly like a gentle kiss. It fell like raindrops on the side of her ears and neck.
His voice was low and affectionate: "Yangyang, don't be afraid."
He called her "Yangyang", not "Miss", nor "Shiyang", but "Yangyang".
A tear came out of the corner of Shiyang's eyes, and her heart melted with the sound of "Rang Yang". She hugged the young man's thin but powerful back tightly and softly said "Yeah".
……
Only when Shiyang was forcibly awakened by Wenqin at Mao Shi did he know what it meant to be extremely happy and beget sadness.
She felt as if she had been run over by a truck, her bones were all falling apart, and she was sore and numb.
She was sitting on the bed holding the quilt in a daze, using the little sanity left in her mind to think about the reasons for asking for leave so as not to be punished by her father.
Gu Ci sat behind her and hugged her, rubbing his cheek gently against hers, caressing the soft and silky hair on Shiyang's shoulders, regretting his recklessness last night.
When he remembered that she cried in his ear last night and begged him to "be gentle", he was even more upset. She didn't tell her yesterday, and he forgot to ask about the time of admission. He never expected that it would be today.Otherwise, he couldn't have chosen last night to say anything.
So his voice became gentler: "Yangyang, it's my fault. You can take leave today and let father punish me."
When Shiyang heard this, he suddenly sobered up and waved his hands: "No, no one can punish you, you are my treasure."
Shiyang said, regardless of the pain in his body, he lifted up the quilt and sat up, shouting to Wenqin: "Wenqin, bring me some water. I want cold water."
She urgently needed cold water to wash her face and wake up, otherwise she would fall asleep just standing.
Although Gu Ci repeatedly urged Shiyang to take leave, Shiyang still insisted on getting up and going to class.
Because she was sleepy, she didn't bother to dress up. She dressed very plainly, with only a little powder on her face to cover her dark circles. She didn't even have a few hairpins on her head, and she only wore a pair of small pearl earrings as jewelry.
Her pale face and red eyes, with a strange beauty in her haggardness, made me feel pity for her.
It's a pity that Gu Ci couldn't see Shiyang like this.
He personally brewed a pot of strong tea for Shiyang and asked Wenqin to take it with her so that she could have a few more sips on the way to refresh herself.
The nuns around the queen, Gu Ci, knew that, and they were the most rigid and strict.If Shiyang falls asleep on the first day of morning class, he will inevitably be punished.
Although they are all official women, it is impossible for Mammy to hit them frequently, but they are forced to stand and copy books.
After Gu Ci's repeated instructions, Shiyang got into the carriage in a daze, fell asleep as soon as his butt touched the chair, and only woke up to Wen Qin's call all the way to the palace gate.
Of course, you can't bring a maid with you when you enter the palace to study with you. Wenqin worriedly poured several cups of strong tea for Shiyang, and then watched uneasily as Shiyang walked to the palace gate alone carrying a book box.
While the imperial guards at the palace gate were checking Shi Yang's book box, they secretly looked at the young lady with her eyes closed, as if she was sleepwalking, in surprise.
After she walked away, one of them curiously asked his fellow guard: "Which lady is this from? Why is she so sleepy?"
The person in question glanced at Shiyang's back and said, "Miss Shi from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion."
The imperial guards are generally selected from the descendants of noble families. Although they have not met all of these ladies, most of them know them.
What's more, a young lady like Shi Yang who is famous in the capital for her naughty nature.
It's just that the new person is a descendant of a branch of the uncle's family, so he doesn't know Shiyang.
The person who revealed Shi Yang's name saw that no one was in the city for a while, so he started gossiping to his colleagues in a low voice: "It's the young lady who was obsessed with the prince, but ended up marrying the deposed prince."
The colleague suddenly understood and was surprised: "Is it her? She doesn't look as domineering and cunning as the rumors say. She is dressed so plainly and her dazed look is a bit cute."
The person who was gossiping suddenly widened his eyes: "You don't fall in love with her, do you? She is married."
The recruit immediately blushed and waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't mean that, I just think she is different from the rumors."
The gossiping imperial guard breathed a sigh of relief and curled his lips: "I think she is too sad and can't sleep. Don't worry about her. Although Gu Ci is the deposed prince, he is the son of the Holy Emperor after all."
The recruit lowered his head in a learned manner and did not dare to look at Shiyang Naughty's back.
Shiyang didn't know what the imperial guards were talking about. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, she walked all the way to the East Palace in a daze and entered the Hongwen Hall Girls' School.
There were already several noble ladies sitting in the classroom. Shi Yang forced himself to open his eyes and took a look. Sitting in the middle was Wen Tingni. The one on her left looked familiar, but at this moment Shi Yang's mind was very confused and her vision was a little blurry. For a moment, I couldn't remember who the other party was.
The two people on the right side of Wen Tingni looked very unfamiliar, and Shi Yang really didn't recognize them.
Not seeing Shi Jiajia, Shi Yang casually found a seat in the corner of the last row against the wall, sat down and took a nap with his chin in his hands.
He was so sleepy that the strong tea prepared by Gu Ci didn't seem to have taken effect yet. Shi Yang felt that his soul was drifting away. His eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, his five senses were dull, and his whole body felt weak. He wished he could lie down on the ground and sleep.
Wen Tingni and others naturally saw Shi Yang walking in. Seeing her expressionless glance at everyone, she sat down and closed her eyes to rest. The three people except Wen Tingni looked a little bad.
A young lady on the right side of Wen Tingni whispered to Wen Tingni: "Yang is a little too rude at this time. Just don't say hello to us. He doesn't know how to salute when he sees the future princess. This is how the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is. Tutor?"
This lady's voice was not loud, but not quiet either. There were only four of them in the classroom, so Shiyang should be able to hear her. Unfortunately, Shiyang was already asleep at the moment and did not hear her.
Wen Ting Ni made a silent gesture to the young lady who was speaking: "Sister, don't say that. I have not married the prince yet, I am just a female official in the palace. Miss Shi naturally does not need to bow to me."
Because Wen Tingni's background was too low, the queen raised Wen Tingni's rank after the engagement and made her a female official in the palace to enhance her status.
But Shiyang was a young lady from the Hou Mansion after all, so it was not considered rude not to salute Wen Tingni.
The young lady on the left side of Wen Ting Ni glanced at Shi Yang suspiciously and whispered to dissuade her: "Miss Fang, please keep your voice low. Miss Shi has a very tough temper."
Miss Fang's eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but after taking a look at Shiyang, whose eyes were closed and expressionless, she still swallowed her words.
Although Miss Fang also has a domineering temperament, her father Fang Shilang's status is naturally not as good as that of Qingyuan Hou.If Wen Ting and Ni were not right, Shiyang would get angry. Given her status, she would not dare to confront Shiyang.
But Shiyang was really a little strange today.
Miss Fang originally thought that with Shiyang's temper, even if she didn't rush over to argue with her after hearing her words, she would still ridicule Wen Tingni. Someone would naturally punish her by then. After all, this was the East Palace.
Unexpectedly, Shiyang not only refused to take the bait, but also didn't even look at her.
Miss Fang looked at the indifferent Shiyang and secretly gritted her teeth.
The young lady on Wen Tingni's left was also staring at Shi Yang, who was motionless as a mountain, thoughtfully.
The room was quiet for a while, until Shiyang snored slightly because she was holding her neck and unable to breathe, and everyone was speechless for a while.
I thought she had changed, but it turns out she was just asleep...
While everyone was speechless, a young lady wearing a pink gown and beaded emeralds walked in swaggeringly.
She glanced left and right and saw Shiyang sleeping in the corner. She rushed over excitedly and patted Shiyang on the shoulder: "Shiyang! You came earlier than me?"
Shiyang was sleeping soundly. When someone slapped him, he almost fell off the chair. He was so shocked that he opened his eyes and shouted: "Gu Ci!"
When he opened his eyes and faced Shi Jiajia's round eyes, he came to his senses. He immediately stretched out his hand to pinch Shi Jiajia's round cheeks angrily: "Shi Jiajia! You are going to die!"
Shi Jiajia avoided her hand and said speechlessly: "Shiyang, are you okay? How do I look like Gu Ci?"
Shi Yang snorted angrily. She was still very sleepy and didn't have the energy to play with Shi Jiajia. She half-closed her eyes and asked listlessly: "Is class going to start?"
Shi Jiajia glanced at the classroom that was filled with people in an instant, nodded, and sat down next to Shiyang: "Everyone is full, class should start."
Shiyang sighed in disappointment and mobilized all his strength before opening his eyes.
Although the classroom is large, there are only nine desks.
Except for the teacher's seat, there are only eight seats, and now they are full.
In addition to the four people Shiyang saw when he came in, there were two more people in Shiyang's row.
She was sitting with Shi Jiajia, and there were two young ladies next to Shi Jiajia. They were all dressed in flamboyant and luxurious clothes, and they seemed to come from good families.
Shiyang did not have the complete memory of the original owner. There were only major events in the 5-minute edited dream, and there was no trivial information at all.
So Shiyang didn't know anyone except Wen Tingni and Shi Jiajia.
But the original owner was well-known in Beijing, and presumably she was not unsocial due to her domineering personality. If not all the young ladies among them were familiar, at least they were all known to her.
Shi Yang was afraid of being exposed, so he had to lower his head and pretend to be quail, not taking the initiative to say hello to anyone.
But she felt a familiar sight. She raised her head again and saw clearly that the person sitting on the left side of Wen Tingni turned out to be Jiang Rui.
Shi Yang curled his lips speechlessly, it was Sun Junyu and Jiang Rui, not a single annoying person in this world was left behind.
At the same time, an AI prompt sounded in Jiang Rui's ear: "Life outside the system has been detected, the storyline of the copy has changed, and the strategy target has been changed."
Jiang Rui was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Shiyang. Seeing Shiyang's curled lips, Jiang Rui's eyes flashed, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she turned her head.
Shiyang's scalp felt numb because of Jiang Rui's laughter. She couldn't help but rub her arms. She always felt that this Jiang Rui was different from the previous life, something was weird.
So Shiyang made up his mind that he could not be alone with her these days. The palace was no better than anywhere else. Jiang Rui was stupid and bad. He might do something to harm her. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. Since he knew Something's wrong with her, so it's better to stay away.
At this time, Shi Jiajia poked Shiyang and whispered, "Shiyang, do you think the students here are a little weird?"
Jiang Rui's smile echoed in Shi Yang's mind, and she nodded in agreement.
Shi Jiajia was recognized and pulled her excitedly: "Right, you've discovered it too, there is no good person here except Wen Tingni."
Shiyang...
Shi Yang looked at Shi Jiajia speechlessly and reached out to touch her forehead: "Shi Jiajia, what nonsense are you talking about? Just scold yourself, why are you scolding me too?"
Shi Jiajia realized what she had said and felt a little embarrassed. She touched her nose and said, "Oh, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, haven't you noticed that all of us reading companions are..."
Naturally, Shi Jiajia didn't want to scold herself. She was a little stumped for a moment. After searching for a long time, she finally found a word: "Are they all famous naughty ladies?"
Shiyang blinked her eyes. Naturally, she couldn't notice it because she didn't know these ladies.
Shiyang looked at Shi Jiajia and saw that her face was wrinkled but her eyes were serious, so she knew that she was not joking.
Perhaps Gu Ci's tea had an effect, and Shiyang's mind began to spin. She thought about it, and lowered her voice and asked Shi Jiajia: "You said that the emperor called my uncle and my father to the palace to discuss it. Can you choose a companion?"
Shi Jiajia nodded, then shook her head: "Yes, but it's not a discussion, it's a notification."
"Then their father should have also entered the palace and been notified?"
Shi Jiajia nodded.
Shiyang had a bold but dangerous idea in his mind: "Does the Emperor want to use us as gunmen?"
Shi Jiajia quickly covered her mouth, but there was a bit of worry in her eyes.
Although they are a bit dandy, after all, they have grown up in a high-end and deep courtyard, and have been exposed to many conspiracies, so they are naturally not stupid.
So Shi Jiajia also figured out the joints, and then looked at Shiyang nervously, and held Shiyang's hand tightly: "You must not take the bait! My father said that when the rabbit dies, the dog is finished. If you really fall for this, you will definitely not end well."
Shi Yang was a little speechless: "That's called cunning rabbit and dead lackey cooking."
But she could see that Shi Jiajia's worries were not fake, so she couldn't help but soften her heart and patiently assured her: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. Why should I serve as his gunman?"
Shi Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Shiyang's assurance, but still held on to her uneasily: "You and I are together these days. Don't act alone. Let's live in the same room at night so we can take care of each other. "
Although Shiyang thanked Shi Jiajia for her kindness, she still smiled dryly and said, "I don't live in the palace."
Shi Jiajia looked confused.
Shiyang whispered: "I am a married person, and I cannot stay in the palace without the Queen's consent."
Shi Jiajia suddenly looked angry: "Mr. Wang didn't help you ask for Yi's decree? I'll send a message back to my mother..."
When Wang first married into the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, the relationship between Shi Jiajia and Shi Yang had not yet broken down. Although they often argued and fought, they were still good sisters, so Shi Yang asked Shi Jiajia not to call Wang her aunt in front of her, so When the two mentioned Wang in private, they would always call her by her surname.
Now that Shi Jiajia thought that she and Shi Yang had reconciled, they naturally resumed this title.
Shiyang hurriedly grabbed her and said, "No, I don't want to live in the palace."
Shiyang didn't explain the reason, but Shi Jiajia looked at Shiyang's pale face and realized that her eyes were slightly green and black, and her eyes were still bloodshot. She remembered that she was once obsessed with Gu Yan, but now she wanted to give Gu Yan his future. The Crown Princess, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but sighed with some distress: "Well, it's too unfair to have you stay here day and night. If you meet him, you will be so sad..."
Before Shi Jiajia finished speaking, a handsome young man wearing a bright yellow python robe walked in.
The two of them turned around and saw Gu Yan standing tall and tall, standing at the door looking at Wen Tingni, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.
Shi Jiajia felt a sudden thought, secretly thinking that the palace was really evil, and that Cao Cao was here.
Thinking of her, she glanced at Shiyang worriedly, but she saw that Shiyang only glanced at Gu Yan and then looked away. He lowered his eyebrows and looked even more haggard and pitiful.
Shi Jiajia felt sympathy and secretly held Shi Yang's hand.
At this time, everyone in the classroom saw Gu Yan walking in, and they all stood up and saluted.
Shi Jiajia also pulled Shiyang up and squatted down to salute.
"Meet the prince."
Gu Yan's warm smile froze for a moment when he saw the faces of the seven companions clearly. His eyes were a little colder, and the majesty of the prince finally appeared around him.
It wasn't until Shiyang was shaking a little while squatting that he said, "No need to be polite."
Although his tone was calm, everyone could tell that Gu Yan, who had always been amiable, was not in a good mood at the moment.
Gu Yan naturally knew that his father had always been very dissatisfied with him for choosing Wen Tingni, who was born in a poor family, as the crown prince. He even bluntly said that she was "not as good as that girl from the Hou family in Qingyuan." However, he did not expect that although his father agreed with him, he would use Treat Wen Tingni this way.
Gu Yan glanced at the ladies in the room, and the more he looked, the more worried he became. There was not a single lady here with good conduct.
Seeing Shiyang again, Gu Yan frowned slightly.
Shi Yang had always been domineering and arrogant, and she dared to do something to him. If he was with the weak Wen Tingni day and night, there was no telling what he would do.
Gu Yan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, thinking about how to discuss with his father to replace these reading companions. He forgot to look away for a moment, and kept focusing on Shiyang.
Shi Yang felt the eyes on him and looked up at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was caught off guard and met Shiyang's doubtful gaze. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Shiyang today seemed a little different from the past.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Shiyang again, but Shiyang had already lowered his head again, his long eyelashes hanging obediently, and his expression could not be seen.
Gu Yan saw that her whole body was pure and simple. She was no longer wearing the rich clothes and makeup in the past. She was more gentle and elegant. She stood there quietly, with a straight waist and a graceful figure. She was even more generous than Wen Tingni.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan felt a little disgusted in his heart. This woman had not given up on marrying Gu Ci, but she actually came up with this method to attract his attention.
So he finally turned away and looked at Wen Tingni again.
But several other ladies in the room secretly wondered why the prince stared at Shiyang for so long today.
Even Wen Tingni felt slightly uneasy.
Fortunately, when the prince looked at her again, his eyes were as gentle and affectionate as before. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently at the prince.
"Why didn't the prince go to the Xiaochao meeting today?"
In the Jin Dynasty, there were two major court meetings every month, with a day off every tenth day, and there were small court meetings on other days.
In the Great Court Meeting, all officials of the fifth rank and above participated, but in the Small Court Meeting, only the officials of the third rank and above discussed politics with the prince and emperor.
Gu Yan was supposed to attend the small court meeting today.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Today is the first day of teaching in the girls' school. My father and I took a leave of absence."
Wen listened to Ni Wenyan with a worried look on his face: "How can your Highness delay political affairs for such a trivial matter as studying for girls."
Gu Yan knew that she was scared, so he reassured her: "It's okay, I'll leave when Grandma Chen comes. It won't take too long."
Wen Tingni felt relieved and smiled gently at Gu Yan.
Shi Yang raised his eyes and caught sight of the sweet couple looking at each other. Thinking that if these two people hadn't acted like monsters, she should be lying in Gu Ci's arms and sleeping in. She suddenly felt angry and looked at Gu Yan with a somewhat confused look. Not good.
Gu Yan felt an unkind gaze, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Yang looking at him angrily, feeling helpless and even more worried about Wen Tingni's situation.
I couldn't help but raised my voice and said: "Since all the ladies have entered the palace to study, I hope that you will abide by etiquette and abide by the teacher's training, so as not to let down the hard work of Hongwen Hall in running a girls' school."
Gu Yan's words were high-sounding, but everyone knew very well that they only came to the palace to read to Wen Tingni, and the main purpose of setting up a girls' school in Hongwen Hall was to teach Wen Tingni, so although they responded respectfully, they didn't. People take it seriously.
Shiyang was even more disdainful, feeling that this young couple was really causing harm to others.
When Shiyang was secretly cursing, Nanny Chen walked in with several female palace officials, and several Taifu from Hongwen Hall entered at the same time as her.
"Meet the prince."
When everyone saw that the prince was there, they saluted him one after another. The prince gently waved to everyone to get up.
"Mommy and the tutors don't need to be polite. I just came here to have a look. Now that grandma and the tutors are here, I won't affect your teaching."
Gu Yan said, glanced at Shiyang again, and pointedly said to Grandma Chen: "After all, this women's school is in the East Palace. I would like to ask Grandma to restrain the young ladies to behave themselves."
Nanny Chen followed the prince's gaze and glanced at Shi Yang, who was standing listlessly aside, and nodded slightly to the prince with understanding: "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust."
The prince nodded and glanced at Wen Tingni again before turning and leaving.
Shi Jiajia noticed Grandma Chen's unkind gaze and hurriedly poked Shiyang. Shiyang raised his head and met Grandma Chen's stern gaze with doubts on his face.
She was just standing here, why was she in the way of this old woman?
Why were you staring at her as soon as you arrived?
She probably didn't fall asleep standing up just now, right?
Grandma Chen saw Shiyang looking at her with a confused expression. Although her eyes were not fearful, they were not unkind, so she withdrew her gaze and walked up to the master's seat with her head held high.
The rules of the girls' school are lengthy and the lessons are boring. In addition to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also etiquette, incense making, and training for girls. Shiyang was overwhelmed by what he heard, and soon fell asleep again, his head bit by bit. Yes, the body is also shaking a little.
Grandma Chen could see clearly from the front. She was talking about the course arrangement of the female commandment. She couldn't help coughing, looked at Shiyang and asked, "Miss Shi, do you have any opinions on the arrangement of the female commandment course?"
Shiyang was woken up by Shi Jiajia. When she looked up, she saw everyone staring at her.
Seeing her confused look, Grandma Chen's face suddenly sank, and she repeated the question again unhappily.
Shi Yang was speechless, but answered calmly: "The world calls Ban Zhao a 'female saint' because of the Women's Commandments, but students think that the Women's Commandments teach women in the world to be childish, humble, and incapable of self-reliance. A talent that has nothing to contribute to the world is just a book that oppresses women. How can Ban Zhao be called a 'saint'? He is just 'the biggest thief of women in the world'."
Grandma Chen's face turned darker and darker as she listened. When she heard this, she said that Ban Zhao was "the biggest thief of women in the world", and her lips trembled and her eyes were split open.
However, Shi Yang seemed to have not seen him, and still said loudly: "According to the students' opinion, Hongwen Hall was set up for the prince to study. As the future master of the world, the prince should be knowledgeable, knowledgeable, political and sensible, and dare to be the leader of the world. Set an example, be considerate of the wishes of all people, and recognize the talents of the world. Hongwenguan Women's School is set up for the future princess to study, and the lessons taught should be in line with the talents of the mother of a country. Even if she cannot study the classics and history, Only by briefly reading the Four Books can the Crown Princess understand the past and the present, manage the court internally, and coordinate government affairs externally, so that she can serve as a role model for women of a country."
Grandma Chen was about to have a seizure when she heard a majestic voice outside the door: "Then in your opinion, why does the "Female Commandments" affect the crown prince's role as a role model for women in the country?"
Following this questioning, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe walked in, followed by the prince who looked unhappy.
Upon seeing this, everyone knelt down and saluted. The emperor waved his hand and walked up to the front seat. He sat in the seat given by Aunt Chen and stared at Shiyang, waiting for her answer.
Although it was the first time that Shiyang met the emperor, it was not the first time that he met Gu Qingyun. In addition, he knew that this man's future fate would be to die under Gu Ci's sword, so he was not as afraid of him as others. There was no fear at all.
So he replied loudly without changing his expression: "The student just said that the "Girls' Commandments" only teach women to succumb to childishness and keep themselves humble, and have no ability to live in the world. But half of all people in the world are women. Among women, there are so many talented people. In ancient times, there were female emperors and female poets, and today there are female generals like Mrs. Meng. If the prince is a prince, he does not recognize the talented women because of the "Female Commandments"; the prince concubine is a woman Setting an example, but imprisoning oneself because of the "Girls' Commandments", leading women all over the world to imitate, and no more women to display their talents, it will be a loss to the world and to Your Majesty."
After Shi Yang finished speaking, the classroom fell silent for a moment, and you could hear a needle drop.
The prince stood under the emperor and looked at Shiyang with a look that was not only inquisitive, but also a bit acknowledging and surprised.
Shiyang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not raising his head to look at him.
The emperor looked at Shi Yang's young and beautiful face quietly, but suddenly thought of another woman in his mind. The woman was also at the same age back then. She used her body as a woman to save him from danger, and used her talents to protect him in the mountains and forests...
As the emperor thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Shiyang with more appreciation in his eyes. His tone was less majestic and more loving: "Well said. Are you a young lady from the Hou family in Qingyuan?"
Shiyang raised his head, looked at Gu Qingyun, knelt down and saluted: "My maid, Shiyang, has met your Majesty."
Gu Qingyun smiled and nodded: "You don't have to be polite. I often hear your father say that you are naughty. When I see you today, he is humbled. Although you are young, you have a lot of knowledge. You are better than my son."
Gu Qingyun said and glanced at the prince, his eyes seemed to be dissatisfied.
Then he remembered something again, frowned slightly, and asked Shiyang: "Why do I remember that you are married to... Gu Ci?"
Speaking of Gu Ci, Gu Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable on his face.
Shiyang couldn't help but sneer in her heart. He was also his son. Gu Yan took him with him every day, but he couldn't even remember who Gu Ci was married to.
There is such a partial father in the world, no wonder Gu Ci hates him so much.
Shi Yang was slandering in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He only lowered his head and said, "Yes, I am now Gu Ci's wife."
When she mentioned the word wife, a thin layer of red appeared on her face, a little shy.
Gu Qingyun couldn't help but look a little regretful as he listened, and glanced at Wen Tingni who was timid and silent at the side, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
So he didn't want to stay here any longer. He got up and said to Aunt Chen as he walked: "Let's cancel the course of "Female Commandments". Teach the princess more to learn more classics and historical collections and read less sour poems and crooked books." It can cultivate a ladylike demeanor in everyone.”
These words were not taken lightly. Gu Yan followed the emperor, his face changed several times, and he gritted his teeth to hold back his retort.
Wen Tingni's eyes were filled with tears.
After the emperor had spoken, it was natural for Nanny Chen not to feel embarrassed about the "Female Commandments" anymore, but she felt a little more disgusted with this student in her heart.
So I kept calling Shiyang's name all morning. At the same time, Shiyang had no chance to doze off again. Shiyang was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do.
The autumn evening is cool and pleasant, the osmanthus trees beside the open pavilion are fragrant, and the evening breeze is blowing.
Shi Yuanhua gave Cheng Geer a piece of Longjing shrimp, and Cheng Geer dutifully gave Wang a piece of glutinous lotus root, while Wang placed Shi Yuanhua's favorite steamed seabass in front of him.
The table was full, but there wasn't a single dish that Shiyang liked.
Shiyang's eyes hurt a little. She closed her eyes and took a breath, but suddenly recalled Wang's face in the first world. She always felt that there was something she had forgotten.
However, before she could think about it, Mrs. Wang had already seen her. She put down her chopsticks and said in a loud voice: "Sister, what are you doing standing here? Come and sit down to eat. I originally said I would wait until you come before using the chopsticks, but now When my brother complained that he was hungry, your father said that he was just having a meal as a family and left him alone."
Wang's face looked apologetic, as if she was really embarrassed for not waiting for Shiyang.
Shiyang looked at her smiling face and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. The scene in the first world where he fell into Gu Ci's arms due to a car accident appeared in front of his eyes.
For a moment, Shiyang felt that all the hairs on his body were standing on end, and his face looked a little ugly.
In Shi Yuanhua's eyes, he felt that his daughter was acting like a young lady again and was looking down on her stepmother.
Although Shi Yuanhua dotes on his daughter, he also has a common problem among ancient men. He always feels that his father's authority cannot be challenged. His wife is his choice and she is his accessory. If his daughter does not respect his wife, she is also giving him trouble.
Then Shi Yuanhua's tone became a bit stern: "Yangyang, your mother is talking to you, what are you doing standing there? Don't you see the whole family is waiting for you to sit down?"
Only then did Shi Yang come back to his senses and exhale.She tried hard to suppress the panic caused by discovering that her memory was incomplete, put on a smiley expression, knelt down and saluted, and then sat obediently opposite Shi Yuanhua.
When Shi Yuanhua saw that she was no longer as tough as before to contradict her parents, she immediately laughed again and was pleased to think that her daughter had indeed made some progress after marriage.
So he smiled and picked up a shrimp and put it in Shiyang's bowl.
Shi Yang ate the shrimps in the bowl numbly, slowly calming down.
Then she heard Shi Yuanhua say to her: "Yangyang, my father has been busy with official duties recently and forgot to tell you that a few days ago, His Majesty announced that your uncle, me and several other senior ministers have entered the palace, and ordered us to send our daughter to the palace to study with her."
Shi Yuanhua's tone was rare and somewhat flattering and comforting. He carefully considered every word he spoke, as if he was afraid that Shi Yang would offend and cause trouble.
Of course Shiyang knew in her heart that Shi Yuanhua had not forgotten about this matter. He probably delayed telling her until the last moment on purpose, fearing that she would find out about it early and use some crooked brain to cause trouble.
This life is no better than the first. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. When dealing with the royal family, one bad move will destroy the family.
Shiyang will not be the only one who will be unlucky then.
Shi Yang was sarcastic in his heart, but he responded obediently: "Yes, my daughter knows. My cousin came to the house yesterday and told me."
Shi Yuanhua prepared a lot of words of persuasion and warning, but they were all choked in his throat by Shi Yang's calm attitude.He didn't know what to say for a moment, and unexpectedly looked at his daughter who was very different today.
Shi Yuanhua was surprised that his daughter didn't make a fuss when she found out about the matter yesterday, and he was also pleased that her daughter seemed to have really let go of the prince.A smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he even picked up the wine bottle and poured Shiyang a glass of wine.
"This is the green plum wine your cousin brought back from Jiangnan. It is not strong and sweet in the mouth. You will enter the palace tomorrow, so today you will have a few drinks with your father."
Shiyang was thinking about the memory, but seeing Shi Yuanhua's eyes full of diligence, she had no choice but to pick up the cup and drink with Shi Yuanhua obediently.
Shi Yuanhua had something on his mind, and Lao Huai was very relieved. The more he looked at his daughter, the happier he became, and he returned to his loving fatherly appearance. He repeatedly asked Shi Yang if he needed to buy any new clothes or jewelry when entering the palace, and also He promised to give her the best Qixingyan Baiduan inkstone he had recently acquired, so that she could enter the palace and study diligently.
Shiyang drank the fruit wine, which tasted delicious. It was not as strong as modern wine and always had a bitter taste. The wine was a bit sour, with more of the sweetness of the fruit, more like juice.
In addition, her father promised her a lot of good things, and even Yueyin gave her [-]% of the money. Shiyang put aside her doubts for a moment and happily drank and chatted with Shi Yuanhua.
Mrs. Wang looked at the father and daughter who were particularly harmonious today, and it suddenly seemed like when she first married into the Hou family.
Mrs. Wang was like this at that time, silently watching the intimate Shi family father and daughter, sitting beside them awkwardly and without a sense of presence. She always felt that she was not like the mistress of the family, but more like serving the Shi family. A servant for the father and daughter to eat.
Wang remembered that her many years of hard work, coupled with her daughter's death, had created a estrangement between Shiyang's father and daughter.
Later, with Brother Cheng, she finally broke the deadlock.
But seeing that Shiyang had only slept well for two days, everything seemed to be returning to its original state...
Mrs. Wang glanced at her ignorant son who was eating beside him, gritted his teeth, put on a very loving smile, and said to Shiyang: "I heard from my servants that the eldest sister and my uncle are very close to each other recently. Tomorrow, the eldest sister will We are about to enter the palace, so we have to rest early today, and we must not miss the time for school."
These words were called concern, but they were actually admonitions, and they had the vague intention of accusing Shi Yuanhua.
Wen Qin frowned slightly when she heard this. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang. When she met Nanny Liu's gaze, she put on a professional fake smile and they both lowered their heads.
After hearing Wang's words, Shi Yuanhua thought of the rumors he had heard recently, and the smile in his eyes faded a bit.
It was a good thing that her daughter was no longer obsessed with the prince. Although her marriage to Gu Ci was a last resort, since they were married, Shi Yuanhua naturally wanted to see harmony between her daughter and son-in-law.
But if you are only obsessed with sensual things at a young age...
Shi Yuanhua looked at his young and beautiful daughter, thinking of Gu Ci's face that was too beautiful for a man, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. He thought to himself that he must not let Gu Ci's charming and charming person lead his precious daughter astray. .
Shiyang didn't understand what kind of lawsuit was going on among these masters and servants. After hearing Wang's words, she only thought of one thing: "Father, my daughter heard that married people are not allowed to stay in the palace without the Queen's decree. My daughter I still want to live at home.”
When Wang heard this, she felt bad. Why did she remind Shiyang of this?
I originally thought that by sending Shi Yang, this annoying spirit, to the palace, she would be able to calm down for a few days. Who would have thought that she would have to go home and live there every day? What's the difference between that and not entering the palace?
So without waiting for Yuanhua to reply, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to say: "Sister, Hongwen Hall has morning reading every morning at right time. If you stay at home, you have to get up an hour earlier than your classmates. You have been weak since you were young. How can you bear it?"
Wang said it sincerely and looked very caring about Shiyang's body. Shi Yuanhua nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and pointed at the tip of Shiyang's nose which was slightly red from drinking and said: "Your mother is right, you You're a lazy little cat who loves to stay in bed. It's because of this that I allow you not to worry about your mother's morning and evening hours. If you stay at home, won't you be late every day? It's just the queen's decree. She asked your mother to come to the palace to serve you. All I ask is that our Qingyuan Marquis Mansion still has some face."
Mrs. Wang quickly helped: "Yes, eldest sister, I will submit a post to the palace tomorrow to see the empress and ask for a decree for you."
Hearing this, Shi Yang was sober for the most part, and hurriedly hugged Shi Yuanhua's arm, and coquettishly took advantage of the drunkenness: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to stay in the East Palace. My daughter just wants to live at home with you. My daughter promises, every day You must get up when the sun is shining and you will never be late!”
Shi Yang and Ji Hou became more and more naughty and stubborn, and Shi Yuanhua became more and more strict with her. Whenever the father and daughter met, they would often get into arguments.When eating together, Shiyang would either get sulky or throw up his sleeves and leave.
Father and daughter have not been so close and happy together for several years.
Shi Yuanhua looked at his daughter resting on his shoulder, and his heart softened: "Can you really get up? You don't have to spend three days fishing and two days drying the net."
Seeing that something was going wrong, Mrs. Wang quickly fanned the flames: "Master Marquis, this nun at the women's school is a person close to the queen."
Shi Yuanhua suddenly felt a little worried again. It would be fine if it was another school. His daughter in Qingyuan went to bed late and no one dared to say anything.
But the Hongwen Hall is in the East Palace after all, and the teacher is the person close to the queen.
Shi Yuanhua is the Minister of the Ministry of War and is not part of the Queen's party in the court. If the other party takes control, it is not a big deal, but if the other party makes a fuss and insists on arguing, Shi Yuanhua cannot protect her.
Shi Yuanhua then began to ponder again.
Shiyang was a little anxious when she saw this. Thinking of not seeing Gu Ci for so long, and the energy from the fruit wine, she felt like crying when she felt aggrieved.
The corners of her eyes suddenly turned red and filled with tears. She held her father's sleeves and shook them aggrievedly, begging him with choked sobs: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to live in the East Palace. My daughter wants to come home every day."
Shi Yuanhua was startled, looking at the pitiful appearance of his daughter who never showed weakness, and couldn't help but remember that when she had just lost her mother when she was young, she would cling to him all the time every day, and would cry all over the yard looking for her father when he didn't see her, for fear of Her father also abandoned her.
Then I thought about how my daughter once loved the prince wholeheartedly, and now the prince is about to get married. Although the Holy Father is not satisfied with the marriage, her daughter has already married the deposed prince Gu Ci, and it is no longer possible for her to be with the prince Gu Yan.
It was already embarrassing and humiliating to ask her to accompany the future crown princess, and to let her live in the East Palace was to rub salt into her wounds, making it difficult for her to endure it.
Shi Yuanhua's heart softened completely. He patted his daughter's hand distressedly and said softly: "Okay, okay, Yangyang won't live in the East Palace if she doesn't want to. Father will arrange for you the best carriage and carriage in the house." Guard, I will pick you up and drop you off on time every day."
Shiyang became happy and smiled: "My daughter knows that my father loves me the most."
Seeing his daughter crying and laughing, Shi Yuanhua helplessly took out a handkerchief and wiped her face gently: "Look at you, just tell your father if you have anything to say. You are crying and laughing at the same time, and your little face is covered in tears. It’s a little cat.”
Shiyang pouted: "Isn't the little cat cute?"
Shi Yuanhua was amused by her and laughed: "Cute. In my father's heart, my Yangyang is the cutest girl in the world."
When Shiyang saw that his father was happy, he took the initiative and asked for a guard with the best swordsmanship in the whole house.
Wang, who had been secretly gritting his teeth on the side and ready to move, heard this and immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, subconsciously grabbing Brother Cheng beside him.
Shi Yuanhua agreed without much thought.
During this meal, Shiyang and Shi Yuanhua had a warm and harmonious meal of father, daughter, filial piety, and they did not disperse until the moon came out.
Wang held Cheng Ge'er, who was already sleepy and asleep, and looked at Shiyang's back being supported by Wenqin, feeling angry in her heart.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Madam, I'm afraid that Mr. Hou is a little drunk. You'd better leave Dalang to me and take care of him."
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son and was afraid that he would wake up and would not let go.
Aunt Liu lowered her voice and said: "The Marquis is in a good mood today. If Madam doesn't go, what if the Marquis goes to the West Courtyard..."
In the west courtyard, Shi Yuanhua's concubine, the Bai family, lived.
Bai was the dowry maid of Shiyang's biological mother. When Shiyang's biological mother, Xie, became pregnant, she was taken as a concubine by Xie.
But after Mr. Xie died of illness, Shi Yuanhua remembered Mr. Xie when he saw Ms. Bai, and gradually alienated Mr. Bai due to grief.
Even so, Shi Yuanhua took good care of Bai because of his relationship with Mrs. Xie. He never treated her badly in terms of food and clothing, and always told Mr. Wang to be more lenient to her.
It was Bai's duty to worship Buddha and pray for Xie in the courtyard every day, and rarely appeared in front of Shi Yuanhua.
Mrs. Wang also wished that the Marquis could not think of Mrs. Bai, and never asked her to read her mind every morning and dusk, eliminating the possibility of her appearing in the main courtyard.
Therefore, although the two lived in the same house, they had not seen each other for several years.
But during the Spring Festival last year, Shi Yang suddenly thought of Bai Shi for some reason, and asked Shi Yuanhua to invite Bai Shi out to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Wang was surprised to find that after so many years, Bai was still as young as she was when she was young, with tight skin and a voluptuous figure.Although her appearance is just that of Xiaojiabiyu, she is nearly forty but has not aged, and is fair and plump like a girl in her teens, which is really stunning.
What's more, compared to a young girl, Bai has a little more tenderness of a young woman. In addition, she worships Buddha all the year round. She has a kind of tranquility that has passed through the years, just like a cup of tea. Even if she just stands there quietly, it makes people feel... peaceful.
Xu Shi Xie passed away many years ago, and time has healed the pain in Shi Yuanhua's heart.Perhaps when a man reaches Shi Yuanhua's age, he prefers a woman with such a calm temperament. Shi Yuanhua gradually no longer alienates Bai, and in the past year, he often stays in the West Courtyard.
Although Bai is in her 30s, if she takes good care of herself, there are not many women who will give birth to children in their 30s.
After being reminded by Nanny Liu, Mrs. Wang no longer cared about waking up her son. She could only hand him to Nanny Liu amidst Brother Cheng's dissatisfied grunts, and quickly caught up with Shi Yuanhua who was being supported by the servant. People helped him to the main courtyard.
Shiyang was a little dazed under the stamina of the fruit wine, muttering Gu Ci's name all the way, and was helped back by Wenqin and Tinghua.
Gu Ci had just come out of the shower and was putting on the "noble prince's nightgown" designed by Shiyang.
The outer robe is a burgundy long-sleeved toga, made of fine velvet.On the deep burgundy velvet, the magnificent dark vine patterns spread like life under the dim candlelight, as if spreading to the ground along the tail of the robe.
Underneath the outer robe is a fragrant cloud gauze lining robe. The lavender fragrant cloud gauze shimmers with Gu Ci's movements, revealing his fair and delicate skin. His perfect collarbones and smooth muscle lines are displayed here. It is faintly hidden under a layer of gauze, flowing ambiguously under the candlelight, attracting people's attention...
Shiyang pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Gu Ci standing in the candlelight wearing a nightgown like this. His waist-length hair had been made somewhat shiny by Shiyang, and was draped loosely on his shoulders, stroking the disobedient hair a few times. Broken hair fell down on his delicate cheeks, making his already delicate face look even more fragile and attractive.
Shi Yang was stunned and felt something flowing down the corner of his mouth.
Gu Ci had already heard her calling his name since he entered the yard. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he speeded up his dressing movements.
When he heard the door knock, he turned around, but after waiting for a long time, he saw no movement from the person at the door, so he tilted his ear slightly and called her: "Miss?"
Only then did Shi Yang come back to his senses and quickly wiped the saliva from his chin.Then he remembered something and turned around to see Ting Hua standing beside him with his mouth slightly open and Wen Qin standing next to him with his head hanging down and his body tense. He waved his hands awkwardly: "You don't need to serve me here anymore."
After speaking, he slammed the door shut.
She was afraid that her words would be read by others again.
Of course only Shiyang could read such beautiful words.
Outside the door, Wenqin, who was greatly relieved, hurriedly grabbed Tinghua, who was still lost in thought, and walked out quickly.
Ting Hua murmured as if he had lost his soul: "No wonder it is said outside that my uncle is a vixen... This is so pretty..."
Wenqin quickly covered her mouth and gave her a warning look: "No matter how beautiful it is, you are not allowed to look at it again! Be careful that the eldest lady will get jealous and gouge your eyes out!"
Ting Hua thought of the eldest lady's methods when she was angry. His skin tightened all over, he covered his eyes, and asked nervously: "If I tell the eldest lady tomorrow that I didn't see anything, will she believe it?"
Wenqin said speechlessly: "The eldest lady will go to the palace tomorrow to read with me, so she may not be able to remember this matter. But you have to be more careful in the future."
Ting Hua then patted his chest, exhaled a breath, clasped his hands and prayed that the eldest lady would really forget this matter tomorrow.
At this time, in the east wing room, Gu Ci was startled when he heard the door ringing, and called out again with concern: "Miss?"
Shi Yang wiped his saliva and couldn't help but feel lucky that Gu Ci couldn't see him, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.
Then he giggled and said, "I'm fine."
Gu Ci frowned slightly when he heard her voice was drunk. He skillfully reached for the teapot on the table, poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
After Shiyang drank the wine, she saw Gu Ci's outfit again. She felt her mouth was dry, her tongue was dry, and her whole body was feeling hot. When she saw him thoughtfully pouring water, she hurriedly went up and poured herself a glass.
Only then did I feel clearer, but my eyes were glued to Gu Ci's body like roots. From top to bottom and then from bottom to top, I felt that there was scenery everywhere, every inch of it. I didn't know where to stop my eyes for a moment. .
Her mind was not on speaking, so she seemed a little confused when answering the question: "A little, wine."
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Ci's lips slightly raised, and he approached her following the direction of the voice. Based on his estimated height from the past few days of contact, he stretched out his long arms and wrapped his arms around Shi Yang's waist, took her into his arms, and asked in a low voice. :"drunk?"
Shiyang was caught off guard and pulled into his arms. His heart suddenly beat without rhythm, and his breathing became chaotic. He felt that the whole room was spinning with Gu Ci. His body was limp and without strength, and he leaned against his arms. Li shook his head in confusion, remembering that he couldn't see, and said: "No..."
Although he denied it, his voice was too weak, more like the mumbling of a child in his sleep.
Gu Ci just thought it was cute and asked her, "What kind of wine did you drink?"
Shiyang leaned in Gu Ci's arms, looked up at his perfect, god-like face, and replied dreamily: "Green plum wine."
Gu Ci lowered his head, and the two people's faces drew closer, and asked again: "Does it taste good?"
Shiyang's vision was a little blurry because of the close distance, so he only replied in a daze: "It tastes good."
After becoming blind, Gu Ci's sense of smell, touch, and hearing became extremely sensitive.
At this moment, the girl's warm breath hit Gu Ci's face as she spoke, and his breath was instantly filled with the unique sweet aroma of green plum wine. This smell was mixed with the unique fragrance of the girl, and it seemed to be real. It flowed into his heart along with Gu Ci's breathing, lingering.
Gu Ci's voice was slightly hoarse: "Give me a taste."
As Gu Ci said this, he kissed Shiyang's tender lips.
The effect of alcohol amplified Shiyang's feelings several times, and the kiss seemed even hotter and more seductive than usual.
The shy string in Shiyang's mind seemed to be numbed by alcohol. In just a moment, she opened her arms and hugged Gu Ci's neck, responding to his kiss passionately and arrogantly.
The delicate tongue in Gu Ci's mouth swept away the remaining sanity in Gu Ci's mouth like an attack on a city. She held his lips arrogantly and domineeringly, sucking insatiably, as if she wanted to tear him apart and take possession of him completely.
Gu Ci's reason was burned by the girl's enthusiasm. With a strong push, he lifted the person up by his buttocks.
Shiyang was caught off guard and was picked up by Gu Ci. The panic of weightlessness made her legs subconsciously wrap around Gu Ci's slender but powerful waist.At such a height, she no longer needed to use her feet. She held Gu Ci's face obsessively, her fingertips gently caressing the young man's delicate and hot cheeks, and she kissed him more passionately.
Although Gu Ci had only kissed Shiyang for the third time, he had already learned to take her for a breather with his excellent understanding.
The kiss was long and hot, and there seemed to be endless lingering love between their lips and teeth.
Gu Ci just kissed Shiyang, holding her in his arms and walking towards the bed step by step.
It wasn't until he gently placed Shiyang on the bed that the two separated breathlessly, their hot breaths intertwined, full of unfinished passion.
Shiyang opened her hazy eyes and looked at Gu Ci, who was leaning over her body. Her throat was tight due to the surging love in her body. Her hot fingertips lingeringly caressed Gu Ci's hair, which seemed to be under the candlelight. With his bare collarbone, he said in a hoarse voice: "Gu Ci, hold me."
The last trace of Gu Ci's remaining sanity was shattered by the girl's lustful request. He couldn't care about anything else. He leaned over and pressed tightly against the girl's soft and warm body, kissing her hotly like a gentle kiss. It fell like raindrops on the side of her ears and neck.
His voice was low and affectionate: "Yangyang, don't be afraid."
He called her "Yangyang", not "Miss", nor "Shiyang", but "Yangyang".
A tear came out of the corner of Shiyang's eyes, and her heart melted with the sound of "Rang Yang". She hugged the young man's thin but powerful back tightly and softly said "Yeah".
……
Only when Shiyang was forcibly awakened by Wenqin at Mao Shi did he know what it meant to be extremely happy and beget sadness.
She felt as if she had been run over by a truck, her bones were all falling apart, and she was sore and numb.
She was sitting on the bed holding the quilt in a daze, using the little sanity left in her mind to think about the reasons for asking for leave so as not to be punished by her father.
Gu Ci sat behind her and hugged her, rubbing his cheek gently against hers, caressing the soft and silky hair on Shiyang's shoulders, regretting his recklessness last night.
When he remembered that she cried in his ear last night and begged him to "be gentle", he was even more upset. She didn't tell her yesterday, and he forgot to ask about the time of admission. He never expected that it would be today.Otherwise, he couldn't have chosen last night to say anything.
So his voice became gentler: "Yangyang, it's my fault. You can take leave today and let father punish me."
When Shiyang heard this, he suddenly sobered up and waved his hands: "No, no one can punish you, you are my treasure."
Shiyang said, regardless of the pain in his body, he lifted up the quilt and sat up, shouting to Wenqin: "Wenqin, bring me some water. I want cold water."
She urgently needed cold water to wash her face and wake up, otherwise she would fall asleep just standing.
Although Gu Ci repeatedly urged Shiyang to take leave, Shiyang still insisted on getting up and going to class.
Because she was sleepy, she didn't bother to dress up. She dressed very plainly, with only a little powder on her face to cover her dark circles. She didn't even have a few hairpins on her head, and she only wore a pair of small pearl earrings as jewelry.
Her pale face and red eyes, with a strange beauty in her haggardness, made me feel pity for her.
It's a pity that Gu Ci couldn't see Shiyang like this.
He personally brewed a pot of strong tea for Shiyang and asked Wenqin to take it with her so that she could have a few more sips on the way to refresh herself.
The nuns around the queen, Gu Ci, knew that, and they were the most rigid and strict.If Shiyang falls asleep on the first day of morning class, he will inevitably be punished.
Although they are all official women, it is impossible for Mammy to hit them frequently, but they are forced to stand and copy books.
After Gu Ci's repeated instructions, Shiyang got into the carriage in a daze, fell asleep as soon as his butt touched the chair, and only woke up to Wen Qin's call all the way to the palace gate.
Of course, you can't bring a maid with you when you enter the palace to study with you. Wenqin worriedly poured several cups of strong tea for Shiyang, and then watched uneasily as Shiyang walked to the palace gate alone carrying a book box.
While the imperial guards at the palace gate were checking Shi Yang's book box, they secretly looked at the young lady with her eyes closed, as if she was sleepwalking, in surprise.
After she walked away, one of them curiously asked his fellow guard: "Which lady is this from? Why is she so sleepy?"
The person in question glanced at Shiyang's back and said, "Miss Shi from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion."
The imperial guards are generally selected from the descendants of noble families. Although they have not met all of these ladies, most of them know them.
What's more, a young lady like Shi Yang who is famous in the capital for her naughty nature.
It's just that the new person is a descendant of a branch of the uncle's family, so he doesn't know Shiyang.
The person who revealed Shi Yang's name saw that no one was in the city for a while, so he started gossiping to his colleagues in a low voice: "It's the young lady who was obsessed with the prince, but ended up marrying the deposed prince."
The colleague suddenly understood and was surprised: "Is it her? She doesn't look as domineering and cunning as the rumors say. She is dressed so plainly and her dazed look is a bit cute."
The person who was gossiping suddenly widened his eyes: "You don't fall in love with her, do you? She is married."
The recruit immediately blushed and waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't mean that, I just think she is different from the rumors."
The gossiping imperial guard breathed a sigh of relief and curled his lips: "I think she is too sad and can't sleep. Don't worry about her. Although Gu Ci is the deposed prince, he is the son of the Holy Emperor after all."
The recruit lowered his head in a learned manner and did not dare to look at Shiyang Naughty's back.
Shiyang didn't know what the imperial guards were talking about. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, she walked all the way to the East Palace in a daze and entered the Hongwen Hall Girls' School.
There were already several noble ladies sitting in the classroom. Shi Yang forced himself to open his eyes and took a look. Sitting in the middle was Wen Tingni. The one on her left looked familiar, but at this moment Shi Yang's mind was very confused and her vision was a little blurry. For a moment, I couldn't remember who the other party was.
The two people on the right side of Wen Tingni looked very unfamiliar, and Shi Yang really didn't recognize them.
Not seeing Shi Jiajia, Shi Yang casually found a seat in the corner of the last row against the wall, sat down and took a nap with his chin in his hands.
He was so sleepy that the strong tea prepared by Gu Ci didn't seem to have taken effect yet. Shi Yang felt that his soul was drifting away. His eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, his five senses were dull, and his whole body felt weak. He wished he could lie down on the ground and sleep.
Wen Tingni and others naturally saw Shi Yang walking in. Seeing her expressionless glance at everyone, she sat down and closed her eyes to rest. The three people except Wen Tingni looked a little bad.
A young lady on the right side of Wen Tingni whispered to Wen Tingni: "Yang is a little too rude at this time. Just don't say hello to us. He doesn't know how to salute when he sees the future princess. This is how the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is. Tutor?"
This lady's voice was not loud, but not quiet either. There were only four of them in the classroom, so Shiyang should be able to hear her. Unfortunately, Shiyang was already asleep at the moment and did not hear her.
Wen Ting Ni made a silent gesture to the young lady who was speaking: "Sister, don't say that. I have not married the prince yet, I am just a female official in the palace. Miss Shi naturally does not need to bow to me."
Because Wen Tingni's background was too low, the queen raised Wen Tingni's rank after the engagement and made her a female official in the palace to enhance her status.
But Shiyang was a young lady from the Hou Mansion after all, so it was not considered rude not to salute Wen Tingni.
The young lady on the left side of Wen Ting Ni glanced at Shi Yang suspiciously and whispered to dissuade her: "Miss Fang, please keep your voice low. Miss Shi has a very tough temper."
Miss Fang's eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but after taking a look at Shiyang, whose eyes were closed and expressionless, she still swallowed her words.
Although Miss Fang also has a domineering temperament, her father Fang Shilang's status is naturally not as good as that of Qingyuan Hou.If Wen Ting and Ni were not right, Shiyang would get angry. Given her status, she would not dare to confront Shiyang.
But Shiyang was really a little strange today.
Miss Fang originally thought that with Shiyang's temper, even if she didn't rush over to argue with her after hearing her words, she would still ridicule Wen Tingni. Someone would naturally punish her by then. After all, this was the East Palace.
Unexpectedly, Shiyang not only refused to take the bait, but also didn't even look at her.
Miss Fang looked at the indifferent Shiyang and secretly gritted her teeth.
The young lady on Wen Tingni's left was also staring at Shi Yang, who was motionless as a mountain, thoughtfully.
The room was quiet for a while, until Shiyang snored slightly because she was holding her neck and unable to breathe, and everyone was speechless for a while.
I thought she had changed, but it turns out she was just asleep...
While everyone was speechless, a young lady wearing a pink gown and beaded emeralds walked in swaggeringly.
She glanced left and right and saw Shiyang sleeping in the corner. She rushed over excitedly and patted Shiyang on the shoulder: "Shiyang! You came earlier than me?"
Shiyang was sleeping soundly. When someone slapped him, he almost fell off the chair. He was so shocked that he opened his eyes and shouted: "Gu Ci!"
When he opened his eyes and faced Shi Jiajia's round eyes, he came to his senses. He immediately stretched out his hand to pinch Shi Jiajia's round cheeks angrily: "Shi Jiajia! You are going to die!"
Shi Jiajia avoided her hand and said speechlessly: "Shiyang, are you okay? How do I look like Gu Ci?"
Shi Yang snorted angrily. She was still very sleepy and didn't have the energy to play with Shi Jiajia. She half-closed her eyes and asked listlessly: "Is class going to start?"
Shi Jiajia glanced at the classroom that was filled with people in an instant, nodded, and sat down next to Shiyang: "Everyone is full, class should start."
Shiyang sighed in disappointment and mobilized all his strength before opening his eyes.
Although the classroom is large, there are only nine desks.
Except for the teacher's seat, there are only eight seats, and now they are full.
In addition to the four people Shiyang saw when he came in, there were two more people in Shiyang's row.
She was sitting with Shi Jiajia, and there were two young ladies next to Shi Jiajia. They were all dressed in flamboyant and luxurious clothes, and they seemed to come from good families.
Shiyang did not have the complete memory of the original owner. There were only major events in the 5-minute edited dream, and there was no trivial information at all.
So Shiyang didn't know anyone except Wen Tingni and Shi Jiajia.
But the original owner was well-known in Beijing, and presumably she was not unsocial due to her domineering personality. If not all the young ladies among them were familiar, at least they were all known to her.
Shi Yang was afraid of being exposed, so he had to lower his head and pretend to be quail, not taking the initiative to say hello to anyone.
But she felt a familiar sight. She raised her head again and saw clearly that the person sitting on the left side of Wen Tingni turned out to be Jiang Rui.
Shi Yang curled his lips speechlessly, it was Sun Junyu and Jiang Rui, not a single annoying person in this world was left behind.
At the same time, an AI prompt sounded in Jiang Rui's ear: "Life outside the system has been detected, the storyline of the copy has changed, and the strategy target has been changed."
Jiang Rui was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Shiyang. Seeing Shiyang's curled lips, Jiang Rui's eyes flashed, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she turned her head.
Shiyang's scalp felt numb because of Jiang Rui's laughter. She couldn't help but rub her arms. She always felt that this Jiang Rui was different from the previous life, something was weird.
So Shiyang made up his mind that he could not be alone with her these days. The palace was no better than anywhere else. Jiang Rui was stupid and bad. He might do something to harm her. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. Since he knew Something's wrong with her, so it's better to stay away.
At this time, Shi Jiajia poked Shiyang and whispered, "Shiyang, do you think the students here are a little weird?"
Jiang Rui's smile echoed in Shi Yang's mind, and she nodded in agreement.
Shi Jiajia was recognized and pulled her excitedly: "Right, you've discovered it too, there is no good person here except Wen Tingni."
Shiyang...
Shi Yang looked at Shi Jiajia speechlessly and reached out to touch her forehead: "Shi Jiajia, what nonsense are you talking about? Just scold yourself, why are you scolding me too?"
Shi Jiajia realized what she had said and felt a little embarrassed. She touched her nose and said, "Oh, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, haven't you noticed that all of us reading companions are..."
Naturally, Shi Jiajia didn't want to scold herself. She was a little stumped for a moment. After searching for a long time, she finally found a word: "Are they all famous naughty ladies?"
Shiyang blinked her eyes. Naturally, she couldn't notice it because she didn't know these ladies.
Shiyang looked at Shi Jiajia and saw that her face was wrinkled but her eyes were serious, so she knew that she was not joking.
Perhaps Gu Ci's tea had an effect, and Shiyang's mind began to spin. She thought about it, and lowered her voice and asked Shi Jiajia: "You said that the emperor called my uncle and my father to the palace to discuss it. Can you choose a companion?"
Shi Jiajia nodded, then shook her head: "Yes, but it's not a discussion, it's a notification."
"Then their father should have also entered the palace and been notified?"
Shi Jiajia nodded.
Shiyang had a bold but dangerous idea in his mind: "Does the Emperor want to use us as gunmen?"
Shi Jiajia quickly covered her mouth, but there was a bit of worry in her eyes.
Although they are a bit dandy, after all, they have grown up in a high-end and deep courtyard, and have been exposed to many conspiracies, so they are naturally not stupid.
So Shi Jiajia also figured out the joints, and then looked at Shiyang nervously, and held Shiyang's hand tightly: "You must not take the bait! My father said that when the rabbit dies, the dog is finished. If you really fall for this, you will definitely not end well."
Shi Yang was a little speechless: "That's called cunning rabbit and dead lackey cooking."
But she could see that Shi Jiajia's worries were not fake, so she couldn't help but soften her heart and patiently assured her: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. Why should I serve as his gunman?"
Shi Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Shiyang's assurance, but still held on to her uneasily: "You and I are together these days. Don't act alone. Let's live in the same room at night so we can take care of each other. "
Although Shiyang thanked Shi Jiajia for her kindness, she still smiled dryly and said, "I don't live in the palace."
Shi Jiajia looked confused.
Shiyang whispered: "I am a married person, and I cannot stay in the palace without the Queen's consent."
Shi Jiajia suddenly looked angry: "Mr. Wang didn't help you ask for Yi's decree? I'll send a message back to my mother..."
When Wang first married into the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, the relationship between Shi Jiajia and Shi Yang had not yet broken down. Although they often argued and fought, they were still good sisters, so Shi Yang asked Shi Jiajia not to call Wang her aunt in front of her, so When the two mentioned Wang in private, they would always call her by her surname.
Now that Shi Jiajia thought that she and Shi Yang had reconciled, they naturally resumed this title.
Shiyang hurriedly grabbed her and said, "No, I don't want to live in the palace."
Shiyang didn't explain the reason, but Shi Jiajia looked at Shiyang's pale face and realized that her eyes were slightly green and black, and her eyes were still bloodshot. She remembered that she was once obsessed with Gu Yan, but now she wanted to give Gu Yan his future. The Crown Princess, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but sighed with some distress: "Well, it's too unfair to have you stay here day and night. If you meet him, you will be so sad..."
Before Shi Jiajia finished speaking, a handsome young man wearing a bright yellow python robe walked in.
The two of them turned around and saw Gu Yan standing tall and tall, standing at the door looking at Wen Tingni, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.
Shi Jiajia felt a sudden thought, secretly thinking that the palace was really evil, and that Cao Cao was here.
Thinking of her, she glanced at Shiyang worriedly, but she saw that Shiyang only glanced at Gu Yan and then looked away. He lowered his eyebrows and looked even more haggard and pitiful.
Shi Jiajia felt sympathy and secretly held Shi Yang's hand.
At this time, everyone in the classroom saw Gu Yan walking in, and they all stood up and saluted.
Shi Jiajia also pulled Shiyang up and squatted down to salute.
"Meet the prince."
Gu Yan's warm smile froze for a moment when he saw the faces of the seven companions clearly. His eyes were a little colder, and the majesty of the prince finally appeared around him.
It wasn't until Shiyang was shaking a little while squatting that he said, "No need to be polite."
Although his tone was calm, everyone could tell that Gu Yan, who had always been amiable, was not in a good mood at the moment.
Gu Yan naturally knew that his father had always been very dissatisfied with him for choosing Wen Tingni, who was born in a poor family, as the crown prince. He even bluntly said that she was "not as good as that girl from the Hou family in Qingyuan." However, he did not expect that although his father agreed with him, he would use Treat Wen Tingni this way.
Gu Yan glanced at the ladies in the room, and the more he looked, the more worried he became. There was not a single lady here with good conduct.
Seeing Shiyang again, Gu Yan frowned slightly.
Shi Yang had always been domineering and arrogant, and she dared to do something to him. If he was with the weak Wen Tingni day and night, there was no telling what he would do.
Gu Yan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, thinking about how to discuss with his father to replace these reading companions. He forgot to look away for a moment, and kept focusing on Shiyang.
Shi Yang felt the eyes on him and looked up at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was caught off guard and met Shiyang's doubtful gaze. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Shiyang today seemed a little different from the past.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Shiyang again, but Shiyang had already lowered his head again, his long eyelashes hanging obediently, and his expression could not be seen.
Gu Yan saw that her whole body was pure and simple. She was no longer wearing the rich clothes and makeup in the past. She was more gentle and elegant. She stood there quietly, with a straight waist and a graceful figure. She was even more generous than Wen Tingni.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan felt a little disgusted in his heart. This woman had not given up on marrying Gu Ci, but she actually came up with this method to attract his attention.
So he finally turned away and looked at Wen Tingni again.
But several other ladies in the room secretly wondered why the prince stared at Shiyang for so long today.
Even Wen Tingni felt slightly uneasy.
Fortunately, when the prince looked at her again, his eyes were as gentle and affectionate as before. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently at the prince.
"Why didn't the prince go to the Xiaochao meeting today?"
In the Jin Dynasty, there were two major court meetings every month, with a day off every tenth day, and there were small court meetings on other days.
In the Great Court Meeting, all officials of the fifth rank and above participated, but in the Small Court Meeting, only the officials of the third rank and above discussed politics with the prince and emperor.
Gu Yan was supposed to attend the small court meeting today.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Today is the first day of teaching in the girls' school. My father and I took a leave of absence."
Wen listened to Ni Wenyan with a worried look on his face: "How can your Highness delay political affairs for such a trivial matter as studying for girls."
Gu Yan knew that she was scared, so he reassured her: "It's okay, I'll leave when Grandma Chen comes. It won't take too long."
Wen Tingni felt relieved and smiled gently at Gu Yan.
Shi Yang raised his eyes and caught sight of the sweet couple looking at each other. Thinking that if these two people hadn't acted like monsters, she should be lying in Gu Ci's arms and sleeping in. She suddenly felt angry and looked at Gu Yan with a somewhat confused look. Not good.
Gu Yan felt an unkind gaze, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Yang looking at him angrily, feeling helpless and even more worried about Wen Tingni's situation.
I couldn't help but raised my voice and said: "Since all the ladies have entered the palace to study, I hope that you will abide by etiquette and abide by the teacher's training, so as not to let down the hard work of Hongwen Hall in running a girls' school."
Gu Yan's words were high-sounding, but everyone knew very well that they only came to the palace to read to Wen Tingni, and the main purpose of setting up a girls' school in Hongwen Hall was to teach Wen Tingni, so although they responded respectfully, they didn't. People take it seriously.
Shiyang was even more disdainful, feeling that this young couple was really causing harm to others.
When Shiyang was secretly cursing, Nanny Chen walked in with several female palace officials, and several Taifu from Hongwen Hall entered at the same time as her.
"Meet the prince."
When everyone saw that the prince was there, they saluted him one after another. The prince gently waved to everyone to get up.
"Mommy and the tutors don't need to be polite. I just came here to have a look. Now that grandma and the tutors are here, I won't affect your teaching."
Gu Yan said, glanced at Shiyang again, and pointedly said to Grandma Chen: "After all, this women's school is in the East Palace. I would like to ask Grandma to restrain the young ladies to behave themselves."
Nanny Chen followed the prince's gaze and glanced at Shi Yang, who was standing listlessly aside, and nodded slightly to the prince with understanding: "I will definitely live up to the prince's trust."
The prince nodded and glanced at Wen Tingni again before turning and leaving.
Shi Jiajia noticed Grandma Chen's unkind gaze and hurriedly poked Shiyang. Shiyang raised his head and met Grandma Chen's stern gaze with doubts on his face.
She was just standing here, why was she in the way of this old woman?
Why were you staring at her as soon as you arrived?
She probably didn't fall asleep standing up just now, right?
Grandma Chen saw Shiyang looking at her with a confused expression. Although her eyes were not fearful, they were not unkind, so she withdrew her gaze and walked up to the master's seat with her head held high.
The rules of the girls' school are lengthy and the lessons are boring. In addition to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are also etiquette, incense making, and training for girls. Shiyang was overwhelmed by what he heard, and soon fell asleep again, his head bit by bit. Yes, the body is also shaking a little.
Grandma Chen could see clearly from the front. She was talking about the course arrangement of the female commandment. She couldn't help coughing, looked at Shiyang and asked, "Miss Shi, do you have any opinions on the arrangement of the female commandment course?"
Shiyang was woken up by Shi Jiajia. When she looked up, she saw everyone staring at her.
Seeing her confused look, Grandma Chen's face suddenly sank, and she repeated the question again unhappily.
Shi Yang was speechless, but answered calmly: "The world calls Ban Zhao a 'female saint' because of the Women's Commandments, but students think that the Women's Commandments teach women in the world to be childish, humble, and incapable of self-reliance. A talent that has nothing to contribute to the world is just a book that oppresses women. How can Ban Zhao be called a 'saint'? He is just 'the biggest thief of women in the world'."
Grandma Chen's face turned darker and darker as she listened. When she heard this, she said that Ban Zhao was "the biggest thief of women in the world", and her lips trembled and her eyes were split open.
However, Shi Yang seemed to have not seen him, and still said loudly: "According to the students' opinion, Hongwen Hall was set up for the prince to study. As the future master of the world, the prince should be knowledgeable, knowledgeable, political and sensible, and dare to be the leader of the world. Set an example, be considerate of the wishes of all people, and recognize the talents of the world. Hongwenguan Women's School is set up for the future princess to study, and the lessons taught should be in line with the talents of the mother of a country. Even if she cannot study the classics and history, Only by briefly reading the Four Books can the Crown Princess understand the past and the present, manage the court internally, and coordinate government affairs externally, so that she can serve as a role model for women of a country."
Grandma Chen was about to have a seizure when she heard a majestic voice outside the door: "Then in your opinion, why does the "Female Commandments" affect the crown prince's role as a role model for women in the country?"
Following this questioning, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe walked in, followed by the prince who looked unhappy.
Upon seeing this, everyone knelt down and saluted. The emperor waved his hand and walked up to the front seat. He sat in the seat given by Aunt Chen and stared at Shiyang, waiting for her answer.
Although it was the first time that Shiyang met the emperor, it was not the first time that he met Gu Qingyun. In addition, he knew that this man's future fate would be to die under Gu Ci's sword, so he was not as afraid of him as others. There was no fear at all.
So he replied loudly without changing his expression: "The student just said that the "Girls' Commandments" only teach women to succumb to childishness and keep themselves humble, and have no ability to live in the world. But half of all people in the world are women. Among women, there are so many talented people. In ancient times, there were female emperors and female poets, and today there are female generals like Mrs. Meng. If the prince is a prince, he does not recognize the talented women because of the "Female Commandments"; the prince concubine is a woman Setting an example, but imprisoning oneself because of the "Girls' Commandments", leading women all over the world to imitate, and no more women to display their talents, it will be a loss to the world and to Your Majesty."
After Shi Yang finished speaking, the classroom fell silent for a moment, and you could hear a needle drop.
The prince stood under the emperor and looked at Shiyang with a look that was not only inquisitive, but also a bit acknowledging and surprised.
Shiyang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not raising his head to look at him.
The emperor looked at Shi Yang's young and beautiful face quietly, but suddenly thought of another woman in his mind. The woman was also at the same age back then. She used her body as a woman to save him from danger, and used her talents to protect him in the mountains and forests...
As the emperor thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Shiyang with more appreciation in his eyes. His tone was less majestic and more loving: "Well said. Are you a young lady from the Hou family in Qingyuan?"
Shiyang raised his head, looked at Gu Qingyun, knelt down and saluted: "My maid, Shiyang, has met your Majesty."
Gu Qingyun smiled and nodded: "You don't have to be polite. I often hear your father say that you are naughty. When I see you today, he is humbled. Although you are young, you have a lot of knowledge. You are better than my son."
Gu Qingyun said and glanced at the prince, his eyes seemed to be dissatisfied.
Then he remembered something again, frowned slightly, and asked Shiyang: "Why do I remember that you are married to... Gu Ci?"
Speaking of Gu Ci, Gu Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable on his face.
Shiyang couldn't help but sneer in her heart. He was also his son. Gu Yan took him with him every day, but he couldn't even remember who Gu Ci was married to.
There is such a partial father in the world, no wonder Gu Ci hates him so much.
Shi Yang was slandering in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He only lowered his head and said, "Yes, I am now Gu Ci's wife."
When she mentioned the word wife, a thin layer of red appeared on her face, a little shy.
Gu Qingyun couldn't help but look a little regretful as he listened, and glanced at Wen Tingni who was timid and silent at the side, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
So he didn't want to stay here any longer. He got up and said to Aunt Chen as he walked: "Let's cancel the course of "Female Commandments". Teach the princess more to learn more classics and historical collections and read less sour poems and crooked books." It can cultivate a ladylike demeanor in everyone.”
These words were not taken lightly. Gu Yan followed the emperor, his face changed several times, and he gritted his teeth to hold back his retort.
Wen Tingni's eyes were filled with tears.
After the emperor had spoken, it was natural for Nanny Chen not to feel embarrassed about the "Female Commandments" anymore, but she felt a little more disgusted with this student in her heart.
So I kept calling Shiyang's name all morning. At the same time, Shiyang had no chance to doze off again. Shiyang was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do.
