Perhaps because of Empress Dugu's heroic nature, the royal family of Big Sui didn't receive any cold treatment because the princesses were women. After I familiarized myself with the palace's life, I, Li Jun, and the princes entered the study hall set up by the palace.
Teacher Ji was a highly respected elder. Not only did he have a plum tree that covered the entire world, he also had the status of an emperor's tutor. When the emperor saw him, he would respectfully address him as master.
"Hurry, hurry!" I took Lijun's hand and rushed to the Hua Xuan Palace. Because we were lusting over the Sour Plum Soup, which was made in the kitchen of Yongan Palace, the two of us didn't leave until the empress had a stern expression on her face.
"Ouch!" At the corner of the rockery, I accidentally hit a wall of flesh, knocking me back two steps.
Lijun was breathing heavily behind me, and before I could let go of her hand, we both fell to the ground.
"What blind fellow!" I got up, put my hands on my hips, and shouted into the air.
The fall wasn't too heavy, it was just that it missed the two of us going to the academy.
Lijun got up too and joined me in glaring at the blind man in front of her.
From the looks of it, he should be two or three years older than me, and he had a rather sturdy build, as if he had been trained in martial arts. Although he wore luxurious clothing, he was different from the people in the palace. After looking me in the eye, his face suddenly turned red all the way down to his neck. He lowered his head and stammered:
"I, I don't know, yes, I'm sorry …" He seemed to be trying to explain something, but he didn't seem to know who I was with Li-jun. After a long time, he was so anxious that he didn't say anything.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing there?" A familiar voice drifted towards us from afar.
"Ah — Your Highness, I am here." Hearing the shout, the man named Ah He was overjoyed. It seemed to have solved his predicament.
The person who came was the Han Dynasty's King Yang Liang. He was probably late as well, so he walked in a hurry.
I gave a simple family salute to Yang Liang. Although Grandma Si Li always said that my wild nature was hard to tame, I was still able to perform the least of the etiquette.
"Fifth royal brother, you came at the right time. This guy is bullying me and big sister Ling'Er!" Li Jun pouted, looking like she was about to cry. Anyone who saw her would be pampered.
"How could that be? I think it should be you two wild girls bullying Ah He. "He is the new valet." Yang Liang shrugged at us in disbelief.
Have we both reached such a level of infamy? I also looked angrily at Yang Liang.
Yang Liang chuckled as he looked at the two of us getting angry. He pulled Ah He up and left.
"Why don't you hurry up and leave. If you're late, you can watch two barbarian princesses stand up!"
A word of caution to the angry people, we do not have the time to be angry with him, rushed into the Huaxuan Hall.
Although Yang Liang always mocked the two of us, saying that the two princesses weren't afraid of anyone due to the Queen's favor, and was only afraid of Teacher. Who told Mister to not pay for both of us in this harem?
Of course, the imperial palace was filled with palace maids and eunuchs, and they were all obedient to us. Of course, we could fool around with them all we wanted, but Mister was different.
Was this considered bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Heh heh.
The princes and princesses, as well as the young masters of the imperial Qi clan, were all chatting and laughing merrily.
The four of us ran in, panting for breath. As soon as our buttocks touched the bench, we heard a sudden hush: Mister is coming.
Yang Liang smiled and winked at me. He put the book in front of his face and mouthed, "That was close!"
