Chapter 61: Entering Imperial College (2)
Wei Ning shouted coldly: "Don't touch me!"
Lu'e was startled and frowned slightly.
However, Hongshao immediately thought of the rumors in the palace that the prince had been bullied by palace maids and wet nurses since he was a child, so he was very afraid of palace maids.
"Your Highness , we are carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We will never dare to be negligent in serving Your Highness." Hong Shao said softly.
"Don't touch me. Bring me the clothes."
After hearing her decisive words, Hong Shao and the others did not dare to really disobey the prince. After all, what happened to Nanny Jiang and the others before was a lesson for them. So they prepared their clothes and put them down, and then they left together.
Wei Ning changed her clothes and went out. She saw Hong Shao raise her head and smile at her softly, very gently.
Although the girl named Lu'e seemed respectful, when she looked at her, there was a look of scrutiny and observation in her eyes.
The eunuch named Zheng Tianbao was fair and tender, as thin as a bamboo pole, but he looked honest and simple. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was obvious that he had not been in the palace for many years.
Wei Ning glanced over and said nothing. She sat down calmly. Hong Shao came over and helped her comb her hair.
"Your Highness, I have prepared your writing supplies. After breakfast, let me accompany you to the Imperial College." Lu'e said from the side.
"No need, let Zheng Tianbao follow."
Lu'e was startled, but Zheng Tianbao knelt down and said happily, "I obey your command!"
Wei Ning didn't care what they thought. After breakfast, she took Zheng Tianbao to the Imperial College.
The Imperial Academy of the Qinglong Empire is where the royal family and a few nobles study. Not only poetry, books and etiquette are taught here, but also spiritual power.
Spiritual power is a recognized way of survival on the Galan Continent and is more important than any knowledge. Becoming a phantom master is even more fanatical than being a high-ranking official.
So one can imagine why the good-for-nothing prince was so despised.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak.
At the gate of the Imperial College, there were many horse-drawn carriages, which were used to pick up and drop off young masters and young ladies from various mansions.
As soon as Wei Ning arrived, those who arrived at about the same time as her stopped and looked at her with sympathy and contempt.
"The prince is here. Didn't they say Duanmu Lei almost beat her to death? From the looks of it, it doesn't look like she's in such a miserable state!"
"That's because Princess Qingtong is here. This guy always needs a woman to help him block. What a coward!"
"Princess Qingtong is so unlucky to have such a brother!"
"Hey, have you heard..."
"Hey, hey! What are you guys chattering about? Are you looking for death?" Amidst the whispers, a young man's voice suddenly sounded, quite imposing.
Upon hearing this voice, those who had been talking immediately shut up, snorted, and went back.
Wei Ning raised her head and saw a gorgeous carriage coming. Next to the carriage, a young man in blue clothes was riding a horse, coming towards her with great dignity.
He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a face as beautiful as jade.
Seeing Wei Ning, he rode his horse quickly over, jumped off his horse, and smiled at her cheerfully: "Prince!"
Wei Ning was stunned for a moment.
If there is anyone in the Qinglong Empire besides Princess Qingtong who can make the prince feel a little warmer, it is Situ Yao, the prince of Beiling Palace.
The King of Beiling has no real power and is just an idle prince. He has been enjoying the hereditary throne and fiefdom taxes because of the glory of his ancestors following Taizu in the wars.
