Not far from Yancheng, Chu Heng's team rescued a group of young and old who were bullied by bandits. This group of people were the survivors of Lingxi Village.

Chu Heng led them to the capital in a swagger.

The people of the Wei family focused their attention on the middle-aged couple, while the people of Lingxi Village were old and young, and with Chu Heng being so blatant, the journey was surprisingly smooth.

After arriving in the capital, Chu Heng handed over the people of Lingxi Village to Chu Ze.

He knew that Chu Ze valued these people's lives more than anything else.

After returning to the palace to report, he went back to the palace to quickly bathe and change clothes.

Standing in front of the mirror, he carefully adjusted his clothes and curled the corners of his mouth.

Shanlan and Chizhang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

As soon as I saw the master's peacock-like appearance, I knew who he was going to meet.

When Chu Heng arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence, he was told that Cheng Jiuyuan had gone to Baichuan Academy yesterday.

Chu Heng could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

"Did no one tell Your Highness? Yuan'er went with Princess Yongle." Lin asked puzzledly.

Shan Lan suppressed a smile and said, "After His Highness returned to the palace to report, he immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's residence."

"Since the second Miss Cheng is not in the mansion, I will take my leave now." Chu Heng said and turned away gracefully.

"Hey, Your Highness, would you like to have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Before he could finish his words, Chu Heng's back appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Chi Zhang asked.

"Nonsense, looking at this direction, it's naturally going to Baichuan Academy." Shan Lan answered quickly.

……

Beijing Baichuan Academy

Early summer is not as hot as midsummer, but it is already 9:00 a.m. and the sun is getting hotter. The breeze makes the leaves rustle around, and bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers and grass.

Except for a group of female students standing in the open space, everything seemed so vibrant.

They were wearing the same student uniform, a white dress with a green gauze top, a very refreshing color.

All those present are noble ladies from the capital. They usually have a horde of servants at home and were brought up in a honey pot.

Now, we have been standing in the sun for nearly an hour since the morning, and each of us looks like eggplants hit by frost.

Zhu Jin raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and whispered to Cheng Jiuyuan beside him: "After the headmaster speaks, the hall master speaks, and after the hall master speaks, there's the temple master and the book master. When will it ever end?"

Not only Zhu Jin complained, many noble ladies around her also complained in low voices.

"Everyone is talking at length, with so much nonsense."

"If it weren't for the imperial uncle's order, this princess wouldn't have to endure such hardship."

Yan Yu was also sweating profusely, but she still stood straight with a faint smile on her face.

This little bit of hardship was nothing to Cheng Jiuyuan. When she practiced martial arts before, she would do horse stance in the snow or under the scorching sun for half a day.

The female students were receiving training, and the corridor was filled with male students who were watching the fun.

"Oh, look at these little beauties whose faces are so red from the sun, it makes me feel so sorry for them."

"It's really pleasing to the eyes. How come the headmaster, who is so old-fashioned, doesn't agree to let boys and girls study together? He has to separate them."

"It's okay. You can come here after school. Besides, there's only one shared kitchen, so we can eat together..."

"If you want to talk about beauty, Miss Cheng is pretty, but it's a pity that she's already engaged. What a pity..."

"The guy next to her is not bad either, he matches me very well."

"I advise you to stop thinking about this. Do you know who her father is?"

"Who?"

"Newly appointed head of the hall, if you don't want to be bullied, don't mess with his daughter."

"Oh, no wonder I felt so familiar with Hall Master Yan when I saw him. It turns out he is my father-in-law whom I have never met. I must perform well in the lectures of Hall Master in the future."

"The one in the middle of the second row is really cute and brave. She dares to do something tricky under the headmaster's nose..."

Zhu Jin pounded his legs, leaned forward, and asked Chu Wan in the front row: "Princess, are you tired?"

Chu Wan tilted her head slightly: "Tired and hungry."

But she is a royal princess, so she naturally has to set an example and persevere no matter how tired she is.

If I had known I would have gotten up earlier this morning, I wouldn’t be so hungry now.

Zhu Jin took out a piece of dessert and pointed at Chu Wan.

"Second row, the one in the middle!" The headmaster at the top suddenly interrupted the speech and pointed downward.

The students looked around, and Zhu Jin also tilted his head left and right.

"Stop looking, it's you."

Zhu Jin pointed at himself.

"Yes, come forward."

Under the worried gazes of Cheng Jiuyuan and others, Zhu Jin slowly stepped forward.

"Hands out."

Zhu Jin slowly stretched out his hand, but there was nothing in it.

Zhu Jin felt proud.

Fortunately, Sister Cheng reacted quickly and snatched the snack from her hand.

The headmaster stepped forward and saw that she indeed had nothing in her hand.

"What is the first rule of the academy?"

Zhu Jin replied in a low voice: "Respect your teacher."

"The teacher is admonishing you from above, and you are whispering to each other below. Is this respecting your teacher?"

Zhu Jin blushed.

"Call your father tomorrow!"

"Ah? Principal, I was wrong. Please punish me, but don't let my father come. He is old..."

It was only the first day and she had already lost face. Her father came and she couldn't escape the beating.

"No need to say more, stand back."

Zhu Jin had a sad face and slowly stood back beside Cheng Jiuyuan.

The male students on the corridor sighed.

"The headmaster really doesn't know how to be gentle with women."

"You look cute even when you feel wronged."

As I was sighing, I suddenly heard a scream from the other side and saw a female student falling to the ground.

"Quick, help her to the hospital."

The headmaster sighed, "It's been less than an hour, and they are already exhausted. It seems that these students need to exercise more."

Jiang Miaoduan frowned and looked at the headmaster: "Headmaster, there is a huge difference in physical strength between men and women. One hour under the scorching sun is already the limit. I think we should stop here today."

Finally, the lecture ended with a female student fainting.

Chu Wan dragged Zhu Jin and the others towards the public kitchen: "Let's go, I'm starving."

Several people sat together with their meals.

As soon as they sat down, their table was instantly filled with male students.

There were also quite a few male students gathered around another table.

Chu Wan looked at the table at the back and whispered, "That's Wei Pianpian, Wei Xiangming's legitimate daughter and Chu Qing's cousin. She has been studying abroad for the past two years and just returned to Beijing recently. The one next to her is Chu Yu, whom I hate the most."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked up, and coincidentally, the two of them were looking over there as well.

"Don't be fooled by the sweet looks of these two. They are very cruel! Especially Wei Pianpian. She used to bully people with her martial arts skills. Now she seems to be much calmer. But it's hard to change one's nature. She must be pretending. As for Chu Yu, the sweeter his smile is on the surface, the more vicious he is. I have suffered a lot from him."

Yan Yu looked at Zhu Jin and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your taste?"

Zhu Jin wailed and fell on the table.

"If my father really comes tomorrow, I will be so exhausted."

Cheng Jiuyuan rubbed her hair sympathetically.

At this time, Yan Gongdu was also talking about this matter with the headmaster.

"Isn't it too harsh of the headmaster to ask the students to invite their elders on the first day?"

The headmaster waved his hand with a smile: "Do you know who the father of that girl is?"

"Master Zhu."

"Yes, I want to invite Master Zhu to come and give lectures to the students for a few days. Master Zhu's knowledge is not inferior to yours and mine. If we can get his guidance, the students will definitely benefit a lot. But Master Zhu can't be invited easily."

Yan Gongdu smiled and stroked his beard: "So that's how it is."

"It would be great if Master Zhu could stay in our academy."

……

After lunch, Cheng Jiuyuan said, "You guys go back first. I'll go to my master."

"Go ahead. I'm going to go back and lie down. I've been standing all morning and I'm exhausted."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and went towards his master's residence.

When passing by the pond, I saw a student walking and reading a book, and he was about to walk into the pond.

"Hey, don't go any further."

The nerd came to his senses and quickly retracted his dangling foot.

He looked back and could no longer take his eyes away.

Cheng Jiuyuan continued to move forward.

"girl."

The nerd called out to Cheng Jiuyuan, and Cheng Jiuyuan turned around.

The nerd bowed to Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Thank you."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and nodded slightly.

The nerd blushed and turned to leave, but couldn't help looking back and ended up bumping into the willow tree.

The smile on Cheng Jiuyuan's face widened.

Chu Heng, who came hurriedly, saw the whole scene.
