The Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.

After the edict was announced, Eunuch Sheng An quickly stretched out his hand, helped Prime Minister Lin who was kneeling in front of him to receive the edict, and said beamingly, "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to Miss Lin!"

However, contrary to his smiling expression, the people in the Lin family didn't seem very happy, instead they had a gloomy atmosphere.

Lin Xiang's expression was slightly stagnant, he forced a smile, stretched out his hand to stuff a purse for Sheng An, and said in a low voice: "This time, Mrs. Lao came to announce the decree... But I vaguely remember that His Royal Highness Ninth Princess is just eight years old? Man, how can I enter the study to study?"

Sheng An kept his composure, but with a clever trick in his hand, he pushed the purse back into Xiang Lin's hand intact, and said cheerfully: "The Ninth Princess is talented and enlightened, and His Majesty intends to cultivate her, so she kindly allows His Highness to enter early. Study in the study room. This is the first case in Tiancheng!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then added meaningfully: "Your Excellency is devoted to the country, and Miss Lin is famous for her talent; Your Majesty likes these, so I appointed the eldest lady to be the companion of the ninth princess." Read... This servant is bold enough to remind you: Your Excellency must deal with this matter well, so as to live up to His Majesty's grace."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and led a group of servants who came to announce the decree, turned around and left the Lin mansion in a mighty manner.

Hearing Sheng An's instructions, Lin Xiang stood still for a while, his fists in his sleeves tightened and loosened, and remained silent for a long time.

Mrs. Lin walked up to him, with a worried look on her face, she murmured: "Ninth Princess, how could it be Ninth Princess... There are rumors in the palace that she has a violent temper and is used to misbehavior, what will happen with Shurong?"

Lin Xiang sighed, turned around and looked at the eldest daughter standing not far away, and asked in a deep voice, "Shu Rong, what do you think?"

Hearing her father's question, Lin Shurong raised her eyes slightly, her pupils were dark and dark, and her slender eyelashes cast shadows on her porcelain-like cheeks, giving her a stunning and refined look.

She paused, and was about to speak, when a young man's angry voice came from beside her, and she said angrily, "What else do you think? The people in the capital say that the Ninth Princess is ignorant and incompetent, and she is even more dandy than some rich kids." , how can I ask my sister to accompany her as a reading companion!"

Prime Minister Lin frowned, and shouted sharply, "Lin Xun, don't be rude!"

The second son, Lin Xun, turned his head away and let out a disdainful "pooh".

Seeing his reluctance, Prime Minister Lin wanted to continue reprimanding him, but before he could say anything, Lin Shurong took a step ahead of his father and calmly said to his younger brother, "Ah Xun, where have you learned the etiquette and righteousness that I usually teach you?" ?”

Lin Xun was taken aback for a moment, then shrank his head subconsciously, "I..."

"You are not allowed to practice martial arts in the afternoon, and you will be punished with an extra page of scriptures from the Book of Rites, which will be handed over to me for personal review."

After Lin Shurong finished speaking calmly, she no longer looked at her bitter brother, but turned aside, bowed to her father, and said in a gentle tone: "In my daughter's opinion, it's just as Director Sheng said - I should serve the Ninth Princess wholeheartedly." Only by studying can we live up to the great grace of the emperor."

Lin Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and his expression gradually became thoughtful when he met the eldest daughter's quiet gaze.

After a while, he slightly nodded at Lin Shurong, and earnestly said: "No matter what, you must protect yourself, and you must not let the people in the palace bully you, does Shurong understand?"

"Yes," Lin Shurong smiled slightly, "Don't worry, father, daughter will naturally understand."

……

Ming Tan's good days are finally over.

At this time, it was just dawn, and before she even opened her eyes, she was pulled up from the bed by Mallow, began to wash and dress, had breakfast, and was about to go to the study for class.

Ming Tan yawned all the way, sleepy to death, until she stood at the gate of the school with golden tiles and red walls, she finally reached out and rubbed her eyes, and asked lazily, "This is it?"

"Yes, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you in." Mallow blessed the body, "Mr. Qin will not arrive until [-]:[-]. Princess, go to the hall to pick a table that suits you, just wait for a while."

Ming Tan nodded, waved to Mallow, turned around and ran up the long steps.

She was holding the bookcase in her right hand, and pushed open the hall door with her left hand. The noise coming from it suddenly fell silent, and several children raised their heads from their seats, with different expressions, all looking at Ming Tan who was standing at the door. .

The latter raised his eyebrows.

She thought she was early enough, but she turned out to be the last one in the classroom?

The environment in the upper study room was quiet, and the servants had scented the room with a faint agarwood early in the morning. When Ming Tan stepped into the hall, the sound of the wooden floor being stepped on was crisp and clear, which was very clear in the quiet room.

After she had walked a few steps, a handsome young man sitting in the front row suddenly woke up, got up quickly, waved to Ming Tan, and said kindly: "Sister Nine Emperors is here? Mr. Qin personally explained yesterday However, your seat is here, and sit next to the emperor."

Ming Tan blinked, smiled sweetly at the boy, and said very politely: "Thank you, Brother Wuhuang."

This person is the fifth prince Ming Yao, the second son of Concubine Wan Guifei.

"Jiu Huangmei is being polite." Ming Yao stepped out of his seat, walked to Ming Tan's side in a few steps, and made a gesture to help her take the bookcase in her hand.

However, at this moment, a girl's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Ming Yao's movements.

"Brother Wuhuang! Why are you being so nice to her!"

Ming Yao paused, then turned to the girl who was speaking, showing a helpless expression, "Fourth Imperial Sister..."

Ming Tan glanced at him, she also recognized this person, Fourth Princess Ming Xiao.

And the boy who was staring at him next to him was the elder brother of Ming Xiao's mother, the fourth prince Ming Xuan—the mother of the two brothers and sisters was none other than the lord of Chongle Palace who had provoked Ming Tan not long ago. concubine empress.

"Brother Wuhuang, don't you know? This bad girl is domineering and oppressing the servants all day long. No one in the whole palace will like her!"

Ming Xiao stared at Ming Tan, with undisguised disgust in his eyes, and said sharply mockingly: "I have heard that Jiu Huangmei often beats and kills the palace people at will, and is not kind to the Lord - just a few days ago. Killing a court lady from the imperial garden caused her younger sister to risk her life to poison her, just to avenge her with her own hands!"

"Fourth Imperial Sister, don't talk nonsense!"

"Where am I talking nonsense?"

Ming Xiao looked as if he had been wronged by the world, and he was furious. He pointed at the tip of Ming Tan's nose and cursed: "My mother and concubine's eldest maid was beaten half to death by her. She couldn't even stand upright. She almost Just throwing away my life, this is what my brother and I have seen with our own eyes!—Don’t look at her being so cruel at such a young age, it’s like the reincarnation of Yasha—I don’t want to study in the same room with this kind of person! "

This is simply outspoken.

As the fifth prince whose biological mother had a more noble status, Ming Yao's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to reprimand him sharply, the little girl beside him threw the bookcase and hit the ground with a "boom", which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Ming Tan folded his sleeves, and with a smile on his delicate face, he said slowly, "Don't you want to study with me?"

Obviously the Ninth Princess smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, she looked like Yuxue was cute, but Ming Xiao's aura seemed to be three points weaker, and for no reason she felt a little cold in her heart.

She flinched involuntarily, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, so she hurriedly resumed her fierce posture of baring her teeth and claws, and said in a hateful voice: "You are not worthy!"

"Oh……"

Ming Tan nodded slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened.

"In that case," she tilted her head, her voice was as sweet as coquetry, but the words she said were unceremonious and arrogant, "then please get out."

Ming Xiao was stunned by the scolding, but reacted instantly, and flew into a rage again, "How dare you—"

However, before she uttered the fourth word, Ming Tan's face suddenly darkened, and he interrupted with a sneer: "Father praised me for being smart, quick and eager to learn, and ordered me to study in the upper study; but you As a child, but she is full of abuse, thinking that I am not worthy to be here, could it be..." She squinted her eyes and asked sharply, "Are you questioning the emperor's decision, and want to disobey the order?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Guang Xiao was taken aback, but even Ming Yao had a look of surprise on his face.

With just a few words, he gave the other party a big hat of "resisting the decree"... It really was the rumored domineering Jiuhuangmei.

Seeing that Ming Tan's expression was cold, and the fifth emperor brother who had always been gentle to him was also silent, Ming Xiao was suddenly angry and scared, turned his head in a panic, and subconsciously sought help from his own brother.

"Brother Huang, she... she spitting blood!"

The fourth prince Mingxuan was a bit older and a boy, so he was calmer than his sister who couldn't help but scare him.

He refused to speak before because he wanted to show his identity; but seeing that Ming Xiao was bluffed and weakened, he couldn't keep silent, so he could only stand up to support his sister, and reprimanded: "Ming Tan, as a young girl, you , how can you be so disrespectful? Hurry up and apologize to your fourth sister!"

However, even though Mingxuan assumed the posture of the emperor's brother, Mingtan still didn't fear him at all, and immediately retorted: "I have no respect for elders? Brother four's words are really interesting! If you didn't forget to bring your head when you went out today, then You should also remember, who was the first to speak rudely just now?"

"You! Ming Tan, how dare you talk to Brother Huang like this!"

"Why don't I dare?" Ming Tan raised his head slightly, and said contemptuously, "the "Book of Rites" says, 'People today are rude, although they can speak, they don't have the heart of a beast'. Your brother and sister have no To follow the meaning of the emperor's order, to have no love for brothers and sisters, not to observe filial piety, not to be ignorant of propriety and righteousness, is really the beast mentioned in the book!"

Concubine Ning came from a noble family and had quite a status in the palace. Brother and sister Ming Xuan and Ming Xiao also grew up surrounded by flattery, how could they have been scolded so bluntly?

The expressions of the two of them changed immediately, and Ming Xiao was so angry that he ran out from behind the desk, ignoring Ming Yao's obstruction, cursing "slut" in his mouth, while raising his hand to greet Ming Tan's face——

"Stop! In the school, no matter how noisy you are, give this old man silence!"

Suddenly there was an angry shout from the entrance of the hall, which frightened Ming Xiao into a shudder, and hurriedly turned around to look.Mr. Qin was looking stern, standing with his hands behind his back, and asked in a cold voice, "Fourth Princess, what are you doing?"

Ming Xiao was stunned, as if being scorched by fire, abruptly withdrew her hand behind her back, and whispered, "I...I..."

"Hmph, the old man heard it clearly outside the door!"

Although Mr. Qin is old, his imposing manner is not weak. He sized up these nobles from the Tian family, and said angrily, "I also ask the fourth princess to add a big character, and I will submit it to the old man for review tomorrow morning."

Facing the teacher who went to the study room, Ming Xiao's original arrogance disappeared without a trace, and he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he could only lower his head and say, "Yes, sir."

Heaven and Earth Monarch, Parent and Teacher.Even though she is a princess, she would not dare to make trouble in front of Mr. Qin easily.

What's more, Mr. Qin's background is really extraordinary.He used to be the head of the Hanlin Academy. He was knowledgeable and well-known in the government and the public. Five years ago, he couldn't beg for bones, and he felt that the Imperial Academy was too tired, so he asked himself to be a grand teacher and transferred to the upper study to teach. Since then, he has become a prince. and the teacher of the princesses.

The emperor appreciated him very much, and respected him very much, so these highnesses also understood that they didn't dare to offend Mr. Qin.

However, since he was an official in the court, Mr. Qin is naturally a proper teacher.

For example, this time, Ming Xiao's slap was almost on the verge of being slapped, but in the end it was just a big sentence, it was really painless.

Ming Tan curled his lips and shrugged imperceptibly.

Worth mentioning.Anyway, she had a good time scolding, and she hasn't been punished yet. No matter how she calculates this wave, she can make a profit.

Just thinking about this, Ming Tan raised his head lazily, only to see a young girl about twelve or thirteen years old moving lightly with lotus steps, turning slightly sideways, and slowly walking out from behind Mr. Qin.

She raised her eyes, evoked a faint smile, and when she met Ming Tan's eyes, the latter froze on the spot.

It is not only like Ban Ji's posture of continuing history, but also like Xie Ting's posture of singing snow.

She just needs to stand there, she is already magnificent enough.
