Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

No one I know.

Shen Yanbing was not surprised.

She has never heard of any Jing Dynasty, nor any Li Dynasty. The people that Her Royal Highness has come into contact with are different from today's history.

Li Mingyue was silent, thought for a while, and said, "Your dynasty is unheard of."

Shen Yanbing was speechless and didn't know how to make her truly understand.

Before she could speak, Her Royal Highness was bold enough to reconfirm: "Is it true that there is no His Majesty now?"

"..." Shen Yanbing's smile faltered, he cleared his throat, and explained to her solemnly: "The feudal monarchy has long been abolished, and the emperor and empress are all things of the old society. The country we live in now is called Huaguo, a democratic republic, everyone Be in charge."

Li Mingyue opened her mouth and only understood a few words, "...democracy?"

Shen Yanbing felt a headache, and it was very difficult to clear up this concept with a member of the former ruling class.

After all, the feudal system was considered an advanced system thousands of years ago.

Shen Yanbing lay on the rattan chair on the balcony, "I will explain it to you slowly in the future, first remember that everyone is equal, and there is no emperor."

After finishing speaking, she saw that the other party was still standing behind the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, "Why are you so far away?"

Li Mingyue was a little nervous. Standing here, she could already see the surrounding scene—there were many buildings that were much taller than the palace buildings and pagodas. move.

This place was even more exaggerated than she had imagined—the house was not built on the ground!

Shen Yanbing vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts, chuckled, "You're quite timid?"

Li Mingyue saw the suspension on the left and right sides, her face was stiff, her hands were trembling a little, standing on the protruding balcony always felt like it was going to collapse.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had no experience, couldn't listen to the aggressive tactics, so she mustered up the courage to take a step forward.

The summer wind in the morning is quite warm, and there are still some rain stains from last night. Looking down, the leaves and shrubs in the community are bright green.

"It's so high." She murmured, stepping out and walking carefully. She was still several steps away from the guardrail, and her straight and dignified posture was slightly arched.

The tile floor was still a bit slippery, Li Mingyue was wearing sandals and slippers she was not used to, the sole slipped and almost fell——

Shen Yanbing stood up and held her arm, pulling her up who was almost sitting on the ground.

Probably because the surroundings were damp, Li Mingyue felt the other's hand was very cool, she stood firm, and quickly let go of her hand.

"Be careful." Shen Yanbing sighed.

Li Mingyue nodded embarrassedly: "Thank you."

An almost fall not only didn't make Her Royal Highness feel discouraged, but she walked around the balcony more freely.

It wasn't Princess Jiaojiao, Shen Yanbing was a little relieved.

"Do modern people live in such small boxes?" Li Mingyue suddenly raised her head and asked, "Just like you?"

"...cough." Shen Yanbing felt that she had been hurt. From this perspective, the apartment houses one after another really looked like boxes—but this is the treatment that modern people have to work hard for!

The community where Shen Yanbing lives is already at the upper-middle level of Bincheng.

"This is a city, and this kind of residential apartment buildings are very common." Shen Yanbing couldn't hold back and said that classic quote again, "You will gradually understand in the future."

Li Mingyue nodded, sincerely: "I will study hard."

Shen Yanbing raised her eyebrows, went into the room and turned on the TV, carefully selected a historical documentary with a good reputation, prepared a pen and paper for her, and smiled: "Come and study."

Li Mingyue nodded ignorantly, and didn't know how to start holding the gel pen. Shen Yanbing demonstrated the posture of holding the pen. Li Mingyue learned it quickly, but still asked: "Do you have a brush?"

She was embarrassed to say that she was not used to paper either.

Thanks to the mother of the history professor, Shen Yanbing has been doing calligraphy since elementary school, and the family really has a brush and rice paper felt pad.

"Only the bucket pen, which is not suitable for writing large characters." Shen Yanbing hasn't practiced calligraphy for a long time, "Try to use a gel pen, you will get used to it sooner or later."

Li Mingyue was a little disappointed, but still said "OK."

"I'll buy you a few hard pens later." Shen Yanbing bought it as soon as he said it, and placed an order online along with what he had promised.

—Wait, I haven't contacted the police yet.

Shen Yanbing couldn't help but fell into deep thought, while complaining that beauty hurts others, while comforting himself that he could use the other party as a subject to live history.

Li Mingyue's beautiful eyes were staring at her distractedly.

"Forget it..." Shen Yanbing comforted herself that she was doing a good deed - the little girl had no ability to survive after going out.

The TV documentary broadcasts the general history of ancient times, from the establishment of the Xia Dynasty to the establishment of the Hua Kingdom for thousands of years. Twenty episodes are enough for Her Royal Highness to learn and digest for a while.

"This is the remote control, which is used to control the TV. If you don't understand, just press pause and ask me. Press this button to go back to the previous content. Do you understand?"

Li Mingyue signaled that she understood, holding a black gel pen awkwardly, facing the LCD screen for a few seconds, pausing for a few seconds, trying to identify the subtitles under the commentary, and transcribing them bit by bit.

When she watched an episode at [-] times the speed like this, she had memorized a lot of vocabulary on the paper, arranged neatly, and there were still questions marked in traditional Jingchao.

——A very good student.

Completely cute, Shen Yanbing looked at Li Mingyue raptly without leaving a trace, and she was a little surprised by the other party's concentration and memory.

She had been using her laptop to look up information, and she paused the documentary, left the sofa and sat in front of Li Mingyue, looked at the notes and questions on the coffee table, and began to explain one by one.

To be honest, Shen Yanbing has never been so active as a teacher in school, nor has she been so tired.

Thousands of years, from a feudal dynasty to a democratic society, is not only a time span, but also a leap in the accumulation of countless technologies, and the ideological gap is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Fortunately, Li Mingyue is a person who is willing to accept new ideas, not a rotten and unshakable noble elm lump.

"You're a fast learner." Shen Yanbing praised without hesitation.

Li Mingyue couldn't help but rejoice, revealing a slight dimple, modestly: "I still have a lot of things I don't know."

Shen Yanbing smiled, deliberately teasing her, "Yes, just in terms of theoretical knowledge, history, Chinese, politics, foreign languages, geography, mathematics, physics...you still have to learn."

Although Li Mingyue didn't quite understand, it didn't stop her from showing surprise: "So many."

Shen Yanbing was happy from the bottom of his heart: "It's not enough, you have to work hard."

Her Royal Highness showed a melancholy expression, and Shen Yanbing gently pinched her cheek in confusion.

"you……"

Shen Yanbing stopped quickly, with a natural expression: "What?"

Li Mingyue was forced to retract her words, and suddenly asked: "What should I call you?"

"This." Shen Yanbing really didn't think about it, "Whatever, can you call me teacher?"

Limingyue still looked at her.

Shen Yanbing thought of something, took the gel pen, and wrote his name stroke by stroke on the white paper.

Li Mingyue nodded and read out the words on the paper: "Shen, Yan, Bing."

After finishing speaking, she looked up for confirmation, and Shen Yanbing nodded helplessly.

Limingyue writes her name on the white paper: "Limingyue"

Shen Yanbing read these three characters in standard Mandarin.

Li Mingyue paused, and suddenly showed a smile.

Like the bright sunshine after the rain, like the gleam of dewdrops on the leaves.

The days seem to go by so fast.

When Shen Yanbing noticed the time, it was almost noon.

Her three meals have always been random, and they are settled in the cafeteria when she is in school, and it is either frozen food or takeaway at other times.

There were no fresh ingredients at home, so she placed an order for takeout as usual, and got up to cut a plate of iced watermelon.

Li Mingyue watched the documentary tirelessly, struggling to write awkwardly with a gel pen.

The indoor temperature was suitable, Shen Yanbing put the watermelon and fork in front of the other party, and paused the TV.

"Eyes should pay attention to rest."

Li Mingyue blinked, and seemed to feel a little dry and tired, she nodded and looked at the red melon and fruit in front of her, "What is this?"

Shen Yanbing forked a piece into his mouth, took a pen in the icy sweet juice, and wrote the word "watermelon" on the paper while reading.

Li Mingyue followed suit, took a fork and bit off carefully, her eyes sparkled, and she was soon conquered by this refreshing fruit.

"The black seeds are seeds, you have to spit them out." Shen Yanbing added, laughing, "Now there are many kinds of fruits, so taste them slowly."

Li Mingyue nodded slowly, held back the joy at the corner of her mouth, and asked after a while: "Can all these common people eat?"

"Of course." Shen Yanbing clasped his hands under his chin, "It's just that some are more expensive, and the food is less. But as long as you want to eat, you can still eat."

The little princess was a little surprised when she heard the words, and said seriously: "In the Jing Dynasty, even in the palace, melons and fruits had to be distributed."

Li Mingyue looked worried: "Many ordinary people just barely satisfy their hunger."

Shen Yanbing was surprised that the other party cared about this: "You are quite clear? I thought you were just a charming princess who doesn't care about world affairs."

Li Mingyue blushed slightly: "I lived outside the palace until I was 14 years old."

It turned out to be a folk princess.

Shen Yanbing didn't delve into it, and casually asked her what she usually does.

"Practice calligraphy, reading, painting, horseback riding, archery, well, you can do whatever you want."

"Life is quite rich." Shen Yanbing sighed, and glanced at her, "It seems that your Jing Dynasty is quite tolerant towards women."

Li Mingyue didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Shen Yanbing simply explained: "You will understand after watching the documentary. The feudal society has gone backwards, and the restraint on women has reached a cruel level."

She randomly cited a few examples of women's virtues, and Li Mingyue was stunned: "Although Jing Chao has a lot of demands on women, they are not so harsh."

She thought of her wanton and willful elder sister who had remarried three times. If she was placed in a later dynasty, she would definitely be stabbed in the back.

Li Mingyue has always avoided letting herself think about the past and miss Jing Chao.

Although I was curious about why it developed like this after a thousand years, I kept holding back and didn't take the initiative to ask.

The feeling of this new world she came to is very complicated-although Jing Chao does not have these magical things, it is after all her hometown where she has lived for 19 years.

But the documentary she watched today said that all feudal dynasties will eventually perish.

She seemed to see the broken "Jing" flag under the Li family's surname, the bloodstains on the long skirts on the palace, and the withered families all over the mountains and plains.

She was startled.
