Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"This is the room that His Highness has arranged for you, young lady."

"If there is anything missing, please let me know."

The servant bowed and stepped back to the door.

"Miss, this is your personal maid in the Xia Mansion. His Highness also asked us to bring her here."

Only to hear a familiar voice ringing behind his head. Chunni wiped his cheeks with snot and tears, and looked at his young lady with some grievance.

She fell to her knees, hugged Xia Zhiyuan's thighs and cried her heart out.

"Miss...Miss, Chunni thought that Miss didn't want Chunni anymore!"

Well, as a "sickly person" who can't carry anything, I have now become a study companion for others. Fortunately... Zhao Changlin still has some conscience.

Brought Chunni here.

"Okay, okay, why wouldn't I want you?"

"You're already a grown-up, please stop crying, okay?"

Helplessly squatting down, Xia Zhiyuan placed his hand on Chunni's shoulder and patted her gently, just like coaxing a child.

This house is much bigger than the one I lived in before. It is also a separate courtyard with beautiful landscaping, including a small bridge, flowing water, lotus flowers, water lilies, rockery and bamboo forest.

Everything is available.

What's more, it is very quiet here, without any noisy sounds. Xia Zhiyuan even doubted for a moment whether this was the bustling Jinzhou City.

"Well, listen to the young lady, Chunni will not cry anymore."

Chunni wiped her tears with her sleeves, her eyes were as red as two peaches, and she seemed really sad about her departure.

When Xia Zhiyuan saw her miserable appearance, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chunni felt a little embarrassed, so she tried to find something to do to cover up her embarrassment. As soon as she stood up, she saw a thick layer of classics on the table.

So I was very confused.

"Miss, what is this?"

"You can't read books this thick on weekdays, miss... can you lift it?"

However, Chunni was illiterate and could not do anything to help the young lady, so he scratched his head.

"It's a book about how to become a companion to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I must finish reading it within these few days."

"So, I may have to work late into the night these days."

"Chun Ni, if you are sleepy, go to sleep first."

As a night owl who often stays up late, Xia Zhiyuan can understand Chunni's occasional sleepiness.

Besides, Chunni couldn't provide any help even if she was beside him, so it would be better to let her go to sleep.

"Ah... I thought it was an honor to be the princess's tutor, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring."

"Miss, it's so late now, you should go to bed quickly, otherwise your condition will..."

Chunni glanced out the window worriedly.

Xia Zhiyuan had already sat down at the table and opened the first page.

Just a glance at him and his face turned red.

No way, no one told her that ancient people were so open-minded? What is written above? Does this have anything to do with reading companionship?

——The first point is to meet all the needs of the owner.

——The second point is to obey all the instructions of the master.

——The third point is personal care around the clock.

There are so many things to say, one after another, but none of them have anything to do with learning.

We agreed that I would just be your reading companion.

This...what's the difference between this and that.

"Miss, why are you blushing?"

"And what exactly is written in this book?"

In a world where illiteracy is extremely high, naturally there are few people who can read.

"No...nothing."

"Chun Ni, go to bed quickly."

Although he knew Chunni couldn't read, Xia Zhiyuan still subconsciously closed the book. He was so embarrassed.

……

After briefly reading through the classics last night, Xia Zhiyuan was almost stretched to the limit of his body. But not long after he fell asleep, he was gently awakened by a knock on the door.

Really.

There has never been a peaceful day.

Xia Zhiyuan reluctantly lifted the quilt and planned to change clothes and get up.

"Sorry to bother Miss Xia."

"But this is the rule for companion reading. When His Highness gets up in the morning to read, you must go and accompany him."

After washing and dressing up, Chunni followed Xia Zhiyuan obediently without daring to breathe. This was her second time to come to the Princess's Mansion.

When I came here for the first time, I just took a quick glance and only had a general look at the pavilions and towers with carved beams and painted rafters, and I felt a chill all over my body.

In a mansion like this, there are countless servants.

I guess the competition must be very fierce. Chunni sighed in despair in her heart. Life in the Xia Mansion is already difficult enough on weekdays.

I don’t know when I can leave the Princess’s Mansion, where I am unfamiliar with the place.

No, no, why are you thinking about leaving just after arriving? Becoming the princess's study companion would be the best thing for you.

This is simply the supreme honor for the noble ladies of Jinzhou City. No matter what happens to Your Highness in the future, it cannot change the fact that Your Highness is the eldest princess of the current dynasty.

The only daughter of the current emperor.

There were even widespread rumors among the people that the eldest princess might inherit the throne in the future.

If she becomes the princess's companion, I'm sure the young lady will have a much closer relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and those bad guys in the Xia Mansion won't dare to bully her in the future.

Withhold the lady's daily expenses.

The master would not turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see it.

So it's a good thing that the lady is now the princess's study partner, Chunni.

The gentle breeze blew through the rabbit fur on Xia Zhiyuan's cloak, and a lot of new green appeared in the courtyard. The morning sunlight brought some dew, and the air was unusually fresh.

After walking forward for a while, we came to a pavilion.

I saw the bamboo curtains hanging on both sides swaying slightly in the wind. The pavilion was so big that there were at least three teachers sitting in it.

Zhao Changlin sat on a chair, holding a brush between his fingers, listening attentively.

"Miss Xia, please wait here. It will take about half an hour for His Highness to finish his morning class today."

"You will be responsible for grinding ink for His Highness."

“Read together.”

Fortunately, they were just some trivial matters. If there were more, Xia Zhiyuan really couldn't guarantee that his body would not faint on the spot.

"Got it. Thanks."

It was said to be half an hour, but in fact it seemed like only a dozen minutes had passed. The three teachers left the pavilion one after another, carrying their satchels, and followed the shadow guard in black iron out of the courtyard.

Xia Zhiyuan walked over obediently and sat next to Zhao Changlin.

She had a faint herbal fragrance on her body, which could be smelled when she got a little closer. Zhao Changlin's hand holding the brush loosened slightly, and for a moment he even forgot what he was going to write.

Why is it just an ordinary medicinal scent?

I feel so intoxicated, but it's just an ordinary drug.

It must be because I haven’t woken up yet in the morning.

"Now that you're here, you can really sleep."
