The time of Hai had arrived, and the lanterns at the gates of all the palaces were extinguished, except Liu Li who went out at this time.

Yu'er followed behind her, a bit worried: "Princess, it's so late..."

"Shh."

Liu Li put on a thick jacket and tiptoed around the path with Yu'er.

As the saying goes, "Sleep at the second watch, wake up at the fifth watch", the ancients woke up early and went to bed early, at this time even the Holy Majesty went to bed, except for the night guards, only Liu Li, the modern soul, was still very energetic.

Who is not a cultivator?

Liu Li didn't know how to get to Ning Zisheng's residence, but it was enough for Yu'er to know, she led Liu Li in front, hesitantly said: "Princess, think twice, if you go at this time, I'm afraid it will disturb His Highness the Ninth Prince." Rest with Chu Cainu."

"No, she must not have slept."

Yu'er's eyes were full of doubts, but she didn't dare to question her princess' judgment, so she kept silent.

The two arrived outside the Jasper Palace where Chu Cainu and the Ninth Princess lived. There were no guards on guard, and there was no light coming from inside. Obviously, they all had a rest.

Yu'er persuaded again: "Princess, this..."

Liu Lili said that this was all an illusion, and that Ning Zisheng was the heroine, a top-notch student, and she often read the original novel by night.

She took Yu'er around to the side of the Jasper Hall, looking for a window, and lightly poked a hole in the window paper.

Sure enough, Liu Li's fingers immediately touched several layers of things that couldn't tell whether they were paper or cloth, which thickly concealed the scene inside and divided it into two with the darkness outside.

It must be that Ning Zisheng deliberately sealed the window at night in order not to attract people's attention.

Liu Li tapped lightly on the window sill, making a crisp sound in the westerly wind, breaking the silence suddenly.

"His Royal Highness Ninth Princess."

After a while, no one responded, Liu Li was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, knocked twice again, and called softly:

"His Royal Highness Ninth Princess."

At this moment, the thick cloth that sealed the window was lifted from the inside, and all kinds of things that were blocked, such as scattered but not too bright candlelight, finally caught Liu Li's eyes.

And Ning Zisheng.

She pursed her lips lightly, and looked at the pretty girl in front of her, whose nose and cheeks were flushed by the west wind, but she still smiled.

Those eyes that were still swollen during the day were already full of energy, and they seemed to be brighter than all the candlelight in the hall combined.

This glance caught Ning Zisheng off guard, before he said softly, "Princess Chunning."

"Hey." Liu Li responded swiftly, smiling happily, "Your Highness let the courtiers in, it's really freezing outside."

Ning Zisheng: ...

Why the moment she opened her mouth, the strange feeling in her heart disappeared without a trace.

Yu'er obediently waited at the door, it wasn't that Ning Zisheng didn't let her in, but that it was equally cold inside and outside the Jade Palace.

Liu Li thought he could take off his jacket for a while, but he didn't expect it to be wrapped even tighter, and he sniffed from the cold: "Your Highness, you don't have a charcoal basin here, it's so cold."

Ning Zisheng poured a cup of tea for Liu Li, and raised his eyes when he heard that, "The princess came here late at night, just to keep warm here?"

Liu Li tremblingly took the cup of tea poured by the Destiny's Daughter, unrealistically imagining whether drinking it would improve his luck, and hurriedly said: "Of course not, I just think it's too cold here, I'm afraid Your Highness and Mrs. Chu were frozen to death. Otherwise, tomorrow, my servant will give you..."

She fell silent under Ning Zisheng's indifferent but sharp eyes, obviously, Ning Zisheng didn't want to hear more pleasantries from her.

Liu Li was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that Ning Zisheng's favorability for her had changed from -100 to -50, and he didn't know when it happened, so he swallowed and said, "My daughter actually has something to ask for."

"Oh?" Ning Zisheng was not surprised, seeing Liu Li's attitude, he seemed to be demanding, "How can I serve the princess?"

Liu Li asked earnestly, "Can Your Highness... teach me to read?"

The person in front of him burst into tears suddenly, and turned his head away slightly choked with sobs, as if he did not want Ning Zisheng to see this embarrassing appearance: "I am stupid by nature, and I don't like to study hard. A few pages later. But the imperial doctor said, Auntie is just taking medicine to hang her life, dragging on day by day."

She paused, her eyes were red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know how long my mother can live. I just want to be a daughter that can make her proud during the short time she can see me. I am in the palace. I have no acquaintances, and I want to go to Guozi to learn, but I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with what the Taifu teaches, so I thought of asking His Highness for advice."

Ning Zisheng took a sip of tea and didn't speak for a while, with a calm expression on her face, no one could tell what she was thinking.

But Liu Li knows, because——

"[Ning Zisheng]'s favorability towards you is +50. The current favorability is 0 (mere acquaintance)."

At this moment, Liu Li's tears were tears of joy, she wiped her face with a handkerchief, and waited for Ning Zisheng to reply.

"The Princess, why don't you find a tutor?" Ning Zisheng said, "I am younger than the Princess, and I have little talent and learning. I am afraid that I will be entrusted with it."

Liu Li hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you don't need to be humble, my embroidered pillow, it's enough for His Highness to teach me a little bit in his spare time."

Ning Zisheng remained silent.

"Tomorrow, I will ask someone to bring a charcoal basin to the Jasper Hall, so as to ensure that the maids will not be frozen."

Ning Zisheng's quiet eyes moved, and he said "hmm" in a subtle way.

Favorability is still 0, no movement at all.

Liu Li knew that this matter should not be rushed, his eyes were bright, and he grabbed Ning Zisheng's hand.

"Your Highness has agreed!"

Ning Zisheng didn't check for a while, and put his left hand on the table, and Liu Li held it between his hands as if cherishing it.

She has never been in contact with others like this before, and she wanted to pull her hand back, looking at Liu Li's smile, but she couldn't help but stop this movement.

Even though the girl's catkins quickly warmed her skin, Ning Zisheng's frozen knuckles were slightly warmed.

It feels smooth and comfortable.

Liu Li's soul is an adult, so he was naturally keenly aware of Ning Zisheng's reaction, and his heart warmed up.

This is her favorite heroine!Kind and cute.

"Your Highness." Liu Li said, "I will never thank you for your kindness. From now on, if you let me go east, I will never go west. I will never refuse to do whatever you ask me..."

"Okay." It's so late, and it's time for Ning Zisheng to go to bed, "Go back. By the way, if you really want to learn something..."

Ning Zisheng smiled but said, "Start from the basics. Diligence can make up for it. First copy the Four Books and Five Classics until you memorize them. After three days, I will check them myself."

Liu Li:?

Liu Li is also a person who has gone to college in modern times, so he is not afraid of endorsements.But memorizing so many books in one breath in three days, even if you are a top student, it will be difficult to parry.

Liu Li even made a special inquiry, and Ning Zisheng's request was quite reasonable.The Four Books and Five Classics are the must-learn bibliographies for beginners of Guozixue. From the eldest prince in his 20s to the youngest fifteenth prince, they all have to memorize them word for word.

While reading the Analects of Confucius, she lamented that life in the royal family is not easy. It is really difficult for such a young child to have such a heavy task.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Liu Li was memorizing and copying books except to go to see Princess Bao'an, his head was dizzy from memorizing, his wrists were numb from writing, and he finally memorized everything.

After three days, it was time for her to go to Guozi Academy to study.

The prince's children who are the same age as Liu Li have already studied in Guozi Academy for seven or eight years, but Liu Li has no foundation, so naturally he can't attend classes with them.

Otherwise, it would be like a primary school student being transferred to a high school, his eyes must be darkened, and he would not be able to understand anything.

Therefore, she could only attend the introductory class with the younger princes and princesses.

In spring, the weather is getting warmer and the sky is clear. The lecture of Guozixue is about to begin.

Liu Li didn't have many classmates, only four, from left to right:

The six-year-old thirteenth princess, the five-year-old little county head, the four-year-old fifteenth prince, and herself.

Liu Li: ...As long as I am not embarrassed, they are the ones who are embarrassed.

Tai Fu frowned and looked at Liu Li, without saying anything, cleared his throat, and began to give lectures.

For young children, the Taifu mainly focuses on enlightenment, asking them to recite the book, and then explain the meaning of the book, so that it will not be too complicated.

It turns out that the grand tutor likes to ask questions, and Liu Li is too embarrassed to rush to answer with a group of kindergarten babies, so he has to be like a boring gourd the whole time, without saying a word.

"Your Highness, can you memorize the Book of Rites?"

The other three said "recited" in a childlike voice, but Liu Li's voice was like a mosquito.

Tai Tu followed the instructions carefully: "Okay, then I will come to test the recitation of the Book of Rites. I will say the first sentence, and your highnesses will follow the next sentence, and see who can recite it the fastest and is the most familiar."

At this moment, the sound of scattered footsteps came from outside the house, and the other lectures were over.

Not long after, Ning Zisheng was standing by the window with his bookbag in his hand, staring at Liu Li inside the room, as if he wanted to see her performance.

Liu Li: Your ruthless endorsement machine is online.

"A good singer makes others follow his voice..."

Liu Li quickly answered: "He who is good at teaching makes people follow his ambition!"

The Tai Tuo was taken aback for a moment, and continued to write the question: "Virtue is prosperous and teaching is respectful, and the five grains are ripe..."

"Then enjoy it!"

It was almost like the Tai Tuo said a sentence, and Liu Li just answered it, without giving the little milk babies next to him a chance, and they didn't let them grab a single question.

The fifteenth prince pouted in grievance, the little magistrate was at a loss, and the most powerful thirteenth princess cried out with a "wow".

Liu Li felt a little sorry for bullying the child, so he handed the thirteenth princess a piece of crispy candy he brought with him, "Do you want to eat it?"

The thirteenth princess cried even more fiercely while eating.

Liu Li turned his head again, but saw a smile on Ning Zisheng's face, pointing to the pavilion not far away, and finally turned and left.

It just so happened that the lecture here was almost over, and after listening to the homework assigned by the master, Liu Li quickly ran out with his book bag and food box in his arms.

The rules of Guozixue are strict, and the servants of the palace are not allowed to come in and out. If the princes and children want to eat lunch, they have to bring it in advance.

Liu Li specially brought a large portion, just thinking of sharing it with Ning Zisheng.

Ning Zisheng had already sat down in the gazebo, when he raised his eyes, he saw a figure running towards him.

"Your Highness—!"
