Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

High-rise buildings, busy with traffic.

The sun had not yet set, and the setting sun in the west was shining golden light, which barely made Li Mingyue regain a sense of familiarity.

After suffering countless shocks in the small apartment, the shock of facing the Iron City for the first time has not dissipated in the slightest.

Countless people dressed in strange clothes, iron boxes running around, noisy and busy streets, and steel and concrete rising from the ground.

——If you tell her that you have come to the Kingdom of God, she will probably believe it too.

Her Royal Highness behaved very well, never leaving Shen Yanbing at every step. Although she was nervous seeing these strange scenes, she couldn't help but look around, but her face did not show any abnormality.

Shen Yanbing's apartment is not far from the school, but the school has a large area and the buildings are far apart, so she usually drives into the school.

But today, she only needs to go to the office to sign. In the spirit of showing the ancients to the world, she chose to walk.

She introduced Li Mingyue to traffic lights, zebra crossings, and buses along the way, and led him across the road to the sidewalk under the shade.

Li Mingyue was a little afraid of the passing vehicles, and kept a very close distance from Shen Yanbing.

Bincheng is near the sea, and it is hot in summer. Fortunately, the greenery is done everywhere, and birdsong can be heard in the greenway shaded by the roadside.

Bencheng University, where Shen Yanbing works, is an ordinary undergraduate institution, but due to its superior geographical location, employment is widely recognized, and the source of students has always been good.

"This is a school, a place to read and study."

Li Mingyue looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and recognized the inscription in running script engraved on the huge stone tablet - "Bincheng University"

She looked up at Shen Yanbing: "Are you studying?"

Shen Yanbing: "I teach here."

Some students around looked over, but she didn't explain herself too much. She looked at the crowd who were dragging their luggage and preparing to leave school after the exam, "These are all students."

Li Mingyue nodded, surprised.

She saw men and women of her age coming and going, chatting and laughing in groups of three or four. In the Jing Dynasty, commoners, not to mention reading, usually didn't even know a few big characters.

At this age, most of them are married and have children.

The building of Bencheng University is very modern, and it is well-maintained everywhere. Li Mingyue and Shen Yanbing entered the building, and the indoor air-conditioning hit, immediately dispelling the agitation of the scorching sun.

Even the ice cubes enjoyed in the palace are far less comfortable than this.

Li Mingyue couldn't help feeling a little emotional when she thought that this is a life that everyone in modern times can enjoy.

Shen Yanbing's desk is opposite to the desks of several teachers, separated by a mahogany glass bookcase in the middle, and each desk is full of documents and materials.

At this time, there were only her and Li Mingyue in the office.

"Like a gentleman from the academy." Li Mingyue stood in front of the table, silently looking around.

She carefully identified a few slogans hanging on the wall, and made a mental note, acting like a modern, normal, quiet student.

The real students came to the office quickly, and while handing over the report, they apologized to the teacher, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Shen, your signature must be added to the temporary notice from the Academic Affairs Office!"

Shen Yanbing smiled: "It doesn't matter, the most important thing is to be approved, and finish the summer vacation well."

The student tried his best to nod, and couldn't help but glance at the girl who was wearing a foreign dress and ponytail. After signing, he said embarrassedly: "It's really troublesome, Mr. Shen. Let me treat you to dinner."

Li Mingyue heard the dinner and looked over.

Shen Yanbing waved his hand, "It's okay, you still have one subject in the exam, right? Prepare well."

The student had no choice but to leave with a smile and respect, resisting the urge to ask the girl beside her for her name.

He didn't look very old, probably a freshman, he was thinking about it, while regretting the retreat just now, secretly praying that we could see each other again.

"Believe it or not, that boy will inquire about your identity when he goes back."

In the office, Shen Yanbing smiled and teased Li Mingyue half-jokingly.

Li Mingyue was surprised: "Why?"

Could it be that she just didn't pretend well?So easy to see through?

"Obviously interested in you."

Li Mingyue couldn't understand, so Shen Yanbing could only speak more bluntly: "He likes you."

She was even more puzzled and frowned: "But I just met him and didn't speak."

Shen Yanbing smiled, "In modern times, liking is a very superficial thing."

After finishing speaking, she sized up the dignified and bright-faced Highness Princess, and continued, "You just need to stand there beautifully."

Li Mingyue turned her head away from her, and only said softly, "I don't like this."

This is the first dislike she confides in modern times.

Shen Yanbing chuckled, and without rebuttal, she led Her Royal Highness to leave the academy building.

She suddenly remembered her ex-girlfriend, who once said that she was not used to fast-food love, and yearned for a lifetime of being a couple.

The sunset outside was just right, the sky was fiery red, and the continuous clouds and sunset were blocked by several buildings towering into the sky.

Shen Yanbing suddenly said, "By the way, I'll take you to buy some books."

Li Mingyue nodded upon hearing the words, feeling a surge of anticipation in her heart.

She lived in the prince's mansion outside the palace since she was a child, and taught her husband a wide range of knowledge. When she grew up, she returned to the palace, and under the instruction of her father, she even entered the Imperial College to study. Her homework was better than most princes.

The knowledge of this world is far beyond her cognition, instead of knocking her down, it greatly aroused her thirst for knowledge.

Shen Yanbing walked to the bookstore in Bincheng University, and asked her again not to talk casually later.

The Binda Bookstore is not a big one, and most of what it sells are teaching aids commonly used in the school, and most of the extracurricular books are not available, and the holiday is approaching, so the store is very deserted.

The walls were full of books, Li Mingyue stared at them curiously, skimming one by one, and saw the open topographic map of the world behind the cashier.

She stood there motionless, without blinking, and it took her a long time to recognize the map.

They live on a circular piece of land?

Shen Yanbing had already taken a dictionary of simplified and traditional Chinese characters and copybooks, and saw that the other party was wondering and picked out an atlas.

"The books here are not very suitable for you." Shen Yanbing left with Li Mingyue after paying the bill, "I will take you to the bookstore to buy books next time."

Most of the materials here are university teaching materials, and what she needs are more popular reading materials.

Li Mingyue didn't know anything, she just nodded when she heard the words.

She saved a lot of questions to ask, but she had to suppress it when she thought it was outside.

The sun had completely set and the sky was dim, so Shen Yanbing decided to take someone directly to a restaurant for dinner.

Li Mingyue watched her approach an ordinary small shop and ordered one meat, one vegetarian and two fried rice.

This is a very popular small restaurant, the site is small but clean, and there are empty wooden bars between the two tables.

"Is this a restaurant?" Seeing that there was no one around, Li Mingyue asked.

Shen Yanbing came over with a small plate of cold dishes, "Yes, but it's not called that now."

Li Mingyue remembered the signboard she saw when she came in——"Western District Local Restaurant"

Shen Yanbing introduced to her that this is the West District of Bincheng.

As for "earth vegetables", Li Mingyue temporarily understands them as vegetables from the land—although she doesn't know what to emphasize.

The order and fried rice were served quickly, Shen Yanbing kept looking at the phone and replying to the messages, when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Li Mingyue curiously picked up the chili from the stir-fry and put it in his mouth, feeling bad.

"...spicy." Li Mingyue's face was really wrinkled, she opened her mouth to let out a breath, and frowned, "Is this edible?"

"Of course." Shen Yanbing quickly poured her a glass of water, "But Jing Chao shouldn't eat much."

She didn't know what year Jing Dynasty was, but most of the chili peppers hadn't spread here.

Li Mingyue drank the water, came back slowly, and saw Shen Yanbing calling someone to order another egg drop soup.

"You don't use silver...money to eat?" She didn't seem to have seen anyone take out the so-called "money".

"We all paid." Shen Yanbing thought about how to explain, pointing to his mobile phone, "The money is here, use it to scan the QR code of the store to transfer and pay."

After finishing speaking, she also felt that these concepts were too difficult for ancient people, and sighed: "Learn slowly, and you will understand later."

Li Mingyue had no choice but to nod, and after eating the amazing fried rice, she still couldn't help asking: "Are these meals expensive?"

Shen Yanbing was pleased with Her Royal Highness's attitude of taking the initiative to ask about the sufferings of the world, "It's not expensive, it adds up to more than 50 yuan."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she popularized the currency system for Li Mingyue, and made a rough conversion with the ancient silver and copper coins.

After basically understanding, Li Mingyue still frowned, "It's not cheap."

"This is enough for the civilians in the capital to live for several days." She was serious, "Ordinary civilians will not go to restaurants to eat if they have nothing to do."

Shen Yanbing was helpless, "In modern cities, ordering takeaway and eating out are very common. Cooking takes too much time and energy."

Li Mingyue didn't understand, neither nodded nor shook her head.

"Can you cook?" Shen Yanbing asked directly.

Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

Ordinary ancient women naturally have to cook, but Li Mingyue is Her Royal Highness Princess.

Whatever she wants to eat, there will naturally be mothers and aunts ready to serve her.

"Do you want to learn to cook?" Shen Yanbing continued to ask.

Li Mingyue hesitated, Jing Chao had to make a fire to burn firewood for cooking, which was a tiring job, but in modern times... she was worried that she would screw everything up.

Shen Yanbing looked at her performance, smiled, and pointed to the food on the table, "Keep eating."

Li Mingyue lowered her head and ate in silence, feeling a little sad in her heart.

After removing the title of "Princess", she seems to have nothing.

She can't do anything.

Shen Yanbing didn't pay much attention to eating, and when he didn't look at his phone, his eyes always went to the little princess.

Sitting in front of a modern table and chair, Li Mingyue, wearing a gauze skirt and ponytail, looks no different from a modern girl.

Of course, the sitting posture of ordinary girls is much more correct, and her temperament is outstanding.

Although there are still many discomforts, it is extremely lamentable to reach this level in just one day.

"Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and ordinary people now?"

Shen Yanbing put down the spoon, crossed his hands, and propped his arms on the table.

Li Mingyue raised her head when she heard the words, chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth slowly, thought for a while when she heard the question, and shook her head.

——She feels that there are too many differences between herself and modern people.

Shen Yanbing didn't fix the falsehoods, and directly cut to the most realistic question: "You have no record of living here, and you don't have an ID card."

"Identity...?" Li Mingyue tilted her head, listening to Shen Yanbing's explanation, she understood the fact that she "does not exist" in this world.

"You can't face all kinds of screenings by the police, you can't go to school, you can't find a job, you can't board high-speed trains and planes, and you can't even pass your real name on your mobile phone."

Li Mingyue was a little disappointed. She originally thought that after learning modern knowledge, she would be able to live well in this world, and she would become independent as soon as possible without causing trouble to Shen Yanbing.

"Then, how can I have an identity?" Her eyes dimmed, but she still asked for help.

Shen Yanbing couldn't think of any solution for a while, for a person with no past experience, how difficult it is to get a registered permanent residence now.

She talked about the difficulties. As a member of the former ruling class, Li Mingyue was a little hard to express.

In Jing Dynasty, this is a matter of one sentence.

She tried her best to adapt to the democratic society ruled by law a thousand years later.
