Jingyuan Academy.

This year marks the eighth year of the academy.

Some people take the imperial examination route, while others take the professional route.

Two groups of people have graduated over the years.

Military academy.

Fifteen-year-old Chu Yu is sweating on the training ground.

The students around him were all descendants of other royal relatives. They were of different ages, but they all regarded him as their leader.

There are also children of military generals and civil officials in the military academy, but those people only treat these royal relatives as ordinary students, and there is no possibility of winning them over.

Although they were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about these people. After all, Jingyuan Academy had a rule that once you entered the academy, only the student's identity was recognized, regardless of your status.

With His Majesty's endorsement, no one dares to use their status to bully others in Jingyuan Academy, not even the prince.

But what happens in private is not your Majesty's business...

"Brother Yu, are you sure? Are you planning to go to the border as soon as you reach adulthood?"

A member of the royal family wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Chu Yu, "It's only a few months away."

"Yeah." Chu Yu nodded, without stopping his hand exercises, and said intermittently:

"I want to go to the border to gain some experience. Without experiencing the battlefield in person, no matter how many simulations I play, it will only be theoretical."

"But... that's so dangerous..." Another member of the royal family thought of the fighting on the battlefield and said in a timid tone, "People will die..."

"If you are afraid, why did you apply to the military academy? Why don't you go to that group of literati who always follow Zhihu? They don't have to see bloodshed!" A member of the royal family next to him retorted impatiently.

"Do you think I don't want to? It's just that I can't concentrate on my studies..." The royal family member felt a little aggrieved.

His eyes felt dizzy when he saw the words. After much consideration, his parents spent a large sum of money to ask His Majesty for mercy and sent him to the military academy. They did not ask for him to have a great future, but at least to have a better reputation after graduation.

There is also a chain of contempt among the nobles. At present, those who study literature look down on those who study martial arts, and both look down on those who study various majors, even if the names of those majors sound good and are valued by His Majesty.

Students like him who entered the school were destined not to go to the battlefield, so they had no expectations of serving on the frontier or making meritorious contributions.

You can get by with your studies... Oh, no, you can't get by with this.

Physical training cannot be faked, and he cannot read academic assignments in words unless someone reads them to him.

In short, it can't be faked at all.

"Alas..." He felt a headache when he thought of the heavy academic assessment, "I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate with you guys."

The other members of the royal family responded to his self-aware words with speechless expressions.

Chu Yu stopped training and comforted him casually: "It's okay, the more days you stay in the academy, the more you can learn."

"Brother Yu, you are the one who speaks better..."

Chu Yu: "..."

What a fool!

"Hey, look, it's Senior Sister Wei!"

A member of the royal family raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"I heard that the team she led defeated Senior Brother Cao in the last simulation competition and was qualified to set off to join the army at the Northwest Border. I heard that she was promoted to a captain of a thousand men as soon as she joined the army! She has quite a few people under her command."

"Of course, Senior Sister Wei is the best in the military academy!"

A member of the royal family nearby raised his head with some pride. His sister married into the Wei family, so, in a sense, Senior Sister Wei could also be considered his sister!

A sour remark came from the side:

"Brother Cao and the others have learned for so many years in vain. They can't even beat a woman. If it were me..."

"Don't brag. If you have the guts, survive five rounds of the red tassel spear in Senior Sister Wei's hand before you start bragging!"

"How am I bragging? I am a little bit older than you. When I reach Brother Cao's age, I won't let a woman ride on my head!"

"whispering sound……"

"Hey..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

When others heard what he said, they couldn't help but spit at him.

Shameless!

Chu Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he and everyone else looked up at Wei Hongying, who was standing on the steps in the distance. She was wearing a red dress, holding a spear with a red tassel, with her hair tied up high, and was surrounded by others like the moon surrounded by stars.

He is heroic and high-spirited, looking like a child of destiny.

The red tassel of the spear in his hand was blown by the breeze. I don't know what he heard, but with a wanton smile on his face, he demonstrated a set of spear skills to everyone, which drew loud cheers from everyone.

That was the scene he longed for.

The pursuit and applause of the crowd.

"Senior Sister Wei's marksmanship is getting better and better." A member of the royal family said with shining eyes.

"Yeah..." Chu Yu murmured.

Over the years, he has come to terms with reality.

The little golden dragon when I was a child seemed to have become my own imagination.

He raised his hand and waved, calling everyone around him, "Let's go, let's go train. You don't want to be too far behind Senior Sister Wei, right?"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He wanted to try his luck at the border. It would be great if he could achieve success and fame. If not, he could at least see the scenery outside instead of staying in the capital city which felt like a cage to him.

When the people around heard this, although they were reluctant to look away, they still followed Chu Yu.

-

Yanhe Hall.

Ten princes and marquises of different titles stood in the hall, looking at each other, with confusion in their eyes.

Except for the New Year palace banquet, they rarely get together like this.

The heads of the three provinces and six ministries standing next to them, but when the other party glanced at them, was there sympathy in their eyes?

I couldn't help but recall the past in my mind. Haven't they done anything wrong recently?

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

They have been living pretty well these past few years...

Qianghua asked the eunuch to pass a memorial to Marquis Changning.

Marquis Changning took it with doubt, opened it and saw that it was a greeting from the Daro tribe.

Looking down again... His eyes widened and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly.

What the hell? !

The Da Luo tribe actually submitted a petition to request a marriage alliance with the Jing Kingdom, and the candidate was his legitimate son Chu Yu? !

"Your Majesty——!" He looked up at Qianghua with suspicion in his eyes and a very ugly expression.

Qianghua waved her hand, "This is not what I suggested."

"Why would the Nada Luo tribe designate my son?!" Marquis Changning didn't believe it.

What is specified and what is not specified?

Prince Ding, who was standing nearby, was curious and couldn't help but reach out to snatch the shaky memorial from Marquis Changning's hands.

"This..." After reading it, Prince Ding had a strange expression on his face and turned to look at the Minister of the Central Secretariat and others beside him.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat and others coughed and shifted their gaze.

Other princes and dukes came forward to take a look, but after seeing it, they all hesitated to speak.

Prince Liu said with a smile: "Fifth brother, this is a good thing. So many cattle, sheep, cities and land are presented as betrothal gifts to Jingguo. Ordinary people are not worth this price!"

Yes, the betrothal gift is given to Jing State, not to Changning Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Changning stared at Prince Liu with a fake smile, "Do you want this good thing?"

Prince Liu had a look of pity on his face. "Unfortunately, the legitimate sons of your brother and I are all married, and the son of a concubine is not worthy of the Princess of Dalo."

"Besides, the Da Luo tribe has designated my nephew Chu Yu as the leader. Isn't it difficult to change him?"

His expression was full of gloating.

"You——!!" Marquis Changning fell backwards in anger.
