The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

evening.

Visit the Palace of Literature.

After dinner, Su An and Wang Shishi left the dining hall and headed for the Sutra Library as usual.

"Brother Su An, the quarterly exam is tomorrow." Wang Shishi said.

The Palace of Literature has various large and small examinations, including weekly, monthly and quarterly tests.

Both weekly and monthly exams are relatively simple, consisting of only written tests that examine students’ knowledge of the art of Taoism.

In addition to the written test, the quarterly examination also includes a practical assessment, which is taken very seriously by both the teachers and students.

"Tomorrow's quarterly test will be a good opportunity to test the results of your hard work this month." Su An chuckled.

The two walked on the broad bluestone avenue in the academy, with camphor trees planted on both sides of the road.

Su An wore white clothes and light shoes, and walked steadily, neither fast nor slow.

Wang Shishi was wearing a pink and gold pleated skirt. She was obviously in a good mood. She walked in front of Su An with her hands behind her back, skipping and jumping, her figure light and graceful.

It is now the end of October, late autumn.

As the saying goes, among the four seasons, autumn is the most precious.

Looking out at Wendao Mountain from afar, the trees are rustling in the evening, and the clouds are returning and the wild geese are flying in the dusk.

Inside the Palace of Literature, large tracts of osmanthus and golden maple trees are bathed in the sunset glow.

On the wide bluestone avenue, students coming and going walked in groups of three or four, talking and laughing, their shadows stretched very long by the setting sun.

The dusk is like smoke.

Wang Shishi likes this kind of atmosphere very much and she hopes that such days can last forever.

During this month of getting along, many of Wang Shishi's plans did not progress, and her relationship with Su An almost stagnated.

Indeed, Brother Su An took good care of himself, both in daily life and in the study of magic.

But many times in the quiet night, under the fragrant peach trees, and in the leisurely afternoon when the sun was like golden sand.

She could feel that she and Brother Su An were very close, and she could feel an ambiguous atmosphere brewing between them.

She took the initiative every time.

But Brother Su An seemed not to notice and never responded to her.

Thinking of this, Wang Shishi's good mood was gradually replaced by a sense of sadness.

She was a little depressed. The daily life together for the past month was real, the meticulous care on weekdays was real, and every evening when the sky was as dark as smoke was also real.

But it seems that he really has no feelings for her.

No matter what she did, she couldn't break through his heart.

He treated me like a brother treats his sister.

Wang Shishi raised her eyes and looked at the lonely evening clouds in the sky.

A bleak autumn wind blew by, carrying away a few dead leaves that came from nowhere.

After a brief moment of distraction, Wang Shishi suddenly felt as if there was something more in front of her eyes.

Those are the wisps of white “qi” that fill the space between heaven and earth…

Wang Shishi thought she had seen it wrong. She rubbed her eyes, but nothing in front of her changed at all.

Realizing what it was, Wang Shishi felt a sense of surprise. She suddenly turned around and looked at Su An, revealing her shallow dimples and smiling.

"Brother Su An, didn't you say a month ago that if I could sense spiritual energy and elements before the birthday banquet, you would give me a birthday gift that I would definitely be satisfied with?"

"Have you realized it?" Su An asked.

Wang Shishi nodded.

Before her eyes, there were not only wisps of milky white spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but also some fiery red, blazing gold, and aqua blue particles… These were the elements floating between heaven and earth.

So, this is the real world...

Wang Shishi looked surprised.

"Not bad!" Su An chuckled.

Pretty much what he expected.

Although Wang Shishi has been playing badly all the time, she has been in Guanwen Palace for so long, and has been influenced by it, so she has a certain foundation.

In addition to her excellent comprehension, Su An expected that if she worked hard this month, she would have a good chance of sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"As for that gift, I will give you an answer on your birthday." Su An said.

"What on earth is this thing? It's so mysterious. Can't you tell me?" Wang Shishi became more and more curious.

What kind of gift is it that Brother Su An thinks she will like?

"You'll know when the time comes. By the way, this is your ring."

Su An handed a storage ring to Wang Shishi.

The storage ring that he confiscated was used by Wang Shishi to store storybooks. It contained all the storybooks that Wang Shishi treasured.

Su An originally wanted to return it to her on her birthday, but since she has already sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is not impossible to return it to her now.

During this period, Wang Shishi has been thinking about her treasured storybooks.

Sure enough, after getting the ring, Wang Shishi's eyes curved with joy.

The next moment, she suddenly looked alert and said,

"Brother Su An, you didn't read the script, did you?"

"No, what's wrong?" Su An asked.

"That's good."

Inside were all the popular storybooks in the capital that she had collected. Her favorite was called "Traveling Through Time and Becoming a Concubine in a General's Mansion, and the Prince of Marquis Shenwei Falling in Love with Me."

That’s right, the male protagonist is Su An.

It is said that the author is a concubine's daughter from a wealthy family but an unfavored one.

Well, Brother Su An’s dream girl.

Just a few months ago, Su An was still seen as a cowardly bootlicker in the eyes of most people in Beijing.

But in the eyes of many concubines like Sima Yue, Su An is a rare affectionate and good man in the world.

There are many inappropriate contents in this book for children, and she has read them repeatedly with a critical eye.

If Brother Su An saw this, he would definitely misunderstand something, which would damage her image in Brother Su An's mind.

The two of them came to the Sutra Library and started looking for the Taoist scriptures they wanted to read on each bookshelf.

Su An came to a bookshelf filled with books on formations and began to select carefully.

Finally he picked one.

"Using Spiritual Awareness in Drawing Array Patterns"

Su An took the book off the bookshelf.

Just then, someone took away books from the other side of the bookshelf.

Across the gap between the bookshelves, Su An and the man looked at each other.

Those were a pair of familiar eyes.

That familiar face is pretty and pure.

Coincidence?

Of course not. For Sima Yue, it was after Su An came to visit the Palace of Literature.

She could see him often, but couldn't get close to him, which was a very tormenting thing for her.

Wang Shishi, who was beside Su An, was guarding against her as if she were a thief.

It just so happened that Wang Shishi had separated from Su An because she had gone to get a book.

Su An glanced at her without saying anything extra. He took the book on Taoism and returned to his usual reading position.

Sima Yue also followed. After a brief hesitation, she chose to sit down opposite Su An.

"Is there a problem?"

Su An looked at her.

"I……"

I clearly have thousands of words in my mind, many things I want to say to him, and many things I want to confide in him.

She wanted to ask, are you really engaged to Zhou Qingyu?

Why have you been staying with Wang Shishi every day during this period?

But before she could finish her words, she thought again, what position did she have to ask these questions?

Former couple?

It is said that a husband and wife will be bound by love for a hundred days after they were married, but it is obvious that after divorcing his wife, Su An broke off all ties with her and they no longer have the so-called past love.

Without this relationship, they are just strangers.

But for two strangers.

One is the powerful prince of Wuhou Mansion, and the other is the concubine's daughter of an unpopular and idle prince. The gap between their statuses is huge.

What qualifications does she have to ask these questions?

At this moment, Sima Yue's mind flashed back to what Sima Yu had said.

"After losing his favor, you and him are no longer from the same world. Slowly, you will drift away from him until you can't even see his back."

Yes, now it seems that she doesn't even have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with him.

Sima Yue remained silent, and Su An also did not speak, just looking at her quietly.

Sima Yue looked thinner. She was wearing a moon-white dress. She bit her lips slightly, and held her sleeves tightly with both hands in front of her.

Passing his eyes over Su An, Sima Yue had already seen that behind him, the girl who had been with him day and night for some time was walking towards him with a frown on her face.

The women around him were of much nobler status than her. Wang Shishi was the apple of the eye of the General of Cavalry, and Zhou Qingyu was also the legitimate daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Qilin Pavilion.

"Sorry for disturbing you……"

Endless bitterness welled up in my heart.

Finally, Sima Yue smiled bitterly, stood up, and stumbled away.
