    [Emperor Chapter 10] Collision

    “Wanwan, let’s go quickly. Soon the mourning…sixth brother will find us here, and I will be scolded by my mother and concubine again!”

    The fifth princess, Jingya, tugged on the hand of her friend beside her, impatient to stay here any longer.

    She had always disliked Jingchen. When she was young, she was so frightened by the ugly face that she became seriously ill. Later, she often used eunuchs and maids to tease him. Anyway, the dead star did not dare to fight back. She made him eat leftover food, drink pool water, or crawl around on the ground like a dog. She had done all these things, but seeing that boy lifeless and unresisting, it became boring after a long time.

    Who would have thought that this dead star had somehow charmed the soul of his mother-in-law, treating him like her own son, and not allowing her to play tricks on him anymore. Jingya did not believe in evil, and later she repeated the same trick several times, trying to punish him, but who knew that she always lost the money and suffered the consequences.

    Over time, Jingya felt that Jingchen was a deviant from the bottom of her heart. Although she didn’t like it, she didn’t want to have more contact with him.

    But today, her good sister kept whispering in her ears, saying that she wanted to see Taifu Jiang’s style. Jingya couldn’t help but begged, so she came over with her.But it was during class time, no one was around, and there was no one to play around. Jingya stayed there for a while and then couldn’t stay any longer.

    “Wait a little longer,” Yun Wan’s palm-sized face was full of pleading, “Good Jingya, I heard that Taifu Jiang collected stories from all over the world and compiled a book called “Travel Notes on Five Continents”. I wanted to ask you to come and take a look.”

    Jing Ya pursed her lips and said, “You are such a fool for reading. You are even interested in such miscellaneous books!” She was tired of being constrained to study every day, but this girl actually asked to read it.

    “I have admired Taifu Jiang’s reputation for a long time,” the girl’s eyes were bright and full of admiration, “If I were not a woman, I would really want to be a disciple of Taifu!”

    That’s what he said, but Yun Wan’s eyes flashed with calculation.

    I heard from my parents that Taifu Jiang was highly valued by the emperor, but he was a lonely minister with no support and no one could win over him.Nowadays, Marquis Weiyuan seems to be prosperous, but in fact, the fire is cooking oil. Her brother-in-law is a master who cannot support the wall. She has to rely on herself to plan everything in the future.

    Now the family supports the fourth prince born to his aunt Hui Fei, but they send her as a companion to the fifth princess. The plan is not to put all the eggs in the same basket.

    She originally wanted to show favor to the Sixth Prince, but the Sixth Prince, except for the little eunuch beside him, had a cold face towards everyone. She had met him several times, but was frightened by his eyes and had to give up.

    The fourth prince was on good terms with the third prince, and she could feel that both princes had some affection for her, but this was not enough.

    Yun Wan’s hand hidden in her sleeve twisted the handkerchief. Her target was never just the princess.

    I heard that Taifu Jiang once had a daughter who was talented, erudite and ambitious. He resigned from office for more than 20 years to find her. I guess he would not be disgusted with such a girl who loved reading.

    What she has to do is to work hard to win the favor of Taifu Jiang. If she can take this opportunity to be accepted by him as his disciple, her reputation in the capital will be even higher!

    With this thought in her mind, Yun Wan held the manuscript that she had previously studied and filled with notes, and looked expectantly at the closed door of the study room until she heard the sound of the door opening.

    The morning lectures came to an end, and the princes all walked out to prepare to have lunch in the side hall, and the accompanying eunuchs from each family immediately joined them.

    Chu Jiao took her master’s book bag, unscrewed the water bag, and handed it over.Inside is her homemade thirst-quenching sour plum soup, which is sweet and delicious. Jingchen’s favorite drink in the bitter summer is hot weather.

    Schooling in ancient times was no better than modern times, not to mention that the royal rules were stricter. The teacher was not allowed to drink water while giving lectures, so he sat there all morning, and you can imagine the suffering.

    The water bag was being handed over between the two of them. Chu Jiao was caught off guard and was hit from behind, causing the contents of her hand to fall out.

    The water spilled, and Chu Jiao saw that her center of gravity was unstable and she was about to fall on the threshold. Jingchen, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, stretched out his long hand to hug his little eunuch’s waist.

    How…

    So fine?

    There were people all around. Jingchen rubbed his fingers on the slender waist, reluctantly took back his hand, and deliberately scolded Chu Jiao: “You are clumsy!” But his heart still lingered on the touch of less than a hand.

    Chu Jiao lowered her head to admit her mistake, but heard a surprised and aggrieved cry in her ears.

    “Ah! My manuscript!”

    It turned out that due to the collision just now, all the sour plum juice in the water bag in Chu Jiao’s hand spilled onto the manuscript Yun Wan was holding in her hand.

    Chu Jiao’s heart skipped a beat.He quickly knelt down to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.

    “The slave was blind and hit the girl. I beg the girl to atone for her sin!”

    This is the case in this hierarchical palace.If you are the master, then you are right in everything. If you hit someone, others will make your hand hurt carefully.But if you are a slave, then even if the master accidentally steps on your foot, you can only admit your mistake and say that your foot was in the wrong place.

    Chu Jiao had lived here for several years, followed by an unfavored prince, and was cautious in everything. She had long understood this truth deeply.

    At this time, she couldn’t accuse the fifth princess of hitting her and causing the water to spill. She could only admit her mistake.

    “Woo…” Yun Wan looked at the manuscript in her hand that was smeared with ink stained by juice, her eyes getting wet, “This is the hard work of my careful study for many months, wu wu, originally, I wanted to ask the master for advice…” She glanced timidly at the old man in the hall, with admiration and heartache in her eyes, like a little girl who was eager for advice.

    “Slave without eyes!”

    The fourth prince on the side saw his cousin’s lustful expression and immediately went to kick Chu Jiao angrily, but was stopped by Jing Chen with quick eyes and hands.

    “What, Lao Liu, do you want to plead for a little eunuch?”

    The fourth prince was worried that he would not have a chance to deal with Jingchen, so he narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.

    “Isn’t it bad for the emperor to attack indiscriminately?” Jingchen stood in front of Chu Jiao with his back straight, his face as dark as water.
