Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 23: Hearing is false, seeing is believing
Although he was sent away, Xie Jiu was in a good mood.

They were so close and she was not an inexperienced woman, so how could she not feel the changes in Zhao Xingjin?

Once this person can be aroused, it means that he is interested, and this is the entry point.

For Yu Xiejiu, if he grasps it well, it will be a powerful weapon to pave the way forward.

Thinking about it all the way, he soon arrived at Princess Wenxi's residence.

Changle Palace.

Xie Jiu collected his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and stepped inside.

I came here today and finally met Princess Wenxi.

"Your Majesty, your Highness, is honored to meet you." Xie Jiu bowed.

Although Princess Wenxi has just turned seven years old, she has very good manners and is waving her hands like a little adult.

"Madam, please don't be polite. My father has asked you to be my tutor. From now on, I will call you Teacher."

"Your Highness, I will listen to you." Xie Jiu nodded gently.

Although it was the first time she met her, she quite liked the girl in front of her.

He has an oval face, fair skin with a rosy glow, and a pair of round almond-shaped eyes, but he doesn't look lively, but rather has a hint of worry in his eyes. Overall, he looks well-behaved and honest, and at first glance, one would think he is a gentle and polite child.

Just a little more mature.

I think most children in the palace are like this.

"Teacher pointed out many problems with my handwriting last time. In my free time these past two days, I have practiced some more according to the copybook you sent me. I hope you can take a look at it." Princess Wenxi said in a low voice.

Doesn't seem very confident.

Xie Jiu noticed her performance, took the manuscript, looked through it, and immediately praised her.

"Yes, Your Highness has made significant progress. Your pen grip alone has improved significantly, and your hand is more steady. Furthermore, the structure of the characters is more evenly arranged and appropriate. It seems that the calligraphy I selected is quite helpful to Your Highness."

"Really?" Hearing this, Princess Wenxi looked up at Xie Jiu. Her eyes were bright, but only for a moment, then dimmed again. She lowered her head and said, "But my mother said that my character is weak, and my handwriting is like me, without strength and sharpness. I can't write well like this."

Before Xie Jiu came, Princess Wenxi was with the Queen, studying with the Queen's eldest princess Zhaoqing and the third princess Lingyi.

After class, the children would inevitably be checked by the Queen on their homework, and this was the kind of comments they made.

Of course, what the queen said made sense, but Xie Jiu couldn't bear to see such a hardworking girl so disappointed.

Then he softly comforted her, "Your Highness, please do not underestimate yourself. You said that handwriting reflects the person. There are no two people in this world who are exactly alike, and naturally, no two people have the same handwriting. This shows that judging good or bad is not a fixed standard. As long as Princess practices diligently, she will naturally be able to write her own beautiful handwriting in the future."

After she finished speaking, Princess Wenxi couldn't help but look up and look at her carefully.

At last, she pursed her lips slightly, with a conflicted look on her face.

After a while, he whispered, "You seem to be different from what everyone says."

During these days, Princess Wenxi had heard some comments about Xie Jiu from various places in the palace, as well as various rumors. She was also nervous and didn't know how to face the teacher arranged for her by her father.

But when she saw him today, she actually felt that she quite liked Xie Jiu, at least that was the case for now.

Hearing Princess Wenxi's words, Xie Jiu only smiled faintly, "I am who I am, and I never live by the words of others."

After a pause, he became serious and looked at Princess Wenxi earnestly.

"Your Highness, what you hear is not what you believe, what you see is what you hear. No matter what others say, Your Highness should do your best to keep your eyes and ears clear and not allow external interference to sway your mind and judgment."

It's like the rumor that Zhao Xingjin was fond of women, even Wu Que and Xie Mingshen believed it, but after Xie Jiu tried it himself, he found out that it was all just a disguise by Zhao Xingjin.

When Xie Jiu was explaining these principles to the young Princess Wenxi, she didn't know whether Princess Wenxi could understand them, but she was really moved.

Princess Wenxi nodded in confusion and said nothing more. Then, Xie Jiu stopped talking and taught Princess Wenxi seriously.

Teaching seven-year-olds was not a problem for her.

Princess Wenxi has a gentle and modest nature, and she studies diligently.

Originally, Xie Jiu was worried that because of her identity, the princess would reject her and the teaching would be difficult to carry out. However, she never thought that she was worrying too much.

It was only then that she understood why Zhao Xingjin asked her to teach Princess Wenxi. He probably knew his daughter's character for a long time and knew that there would be no problem with this arrangement.

Or maybe Zhao Xingjin didn't think she would teach the princess wholeheartedly at all, and was simply looking for an excuse to make it easier for her to enter the palace.

But no matter what Zhao Xingjin thought, Xie Jiu was determined to teach him well.

So after this half-day class, Princess Wenxi and the head palace maid named Qinlan had a completely different impression of her.

After the class ended, when Xie Jiu left, he received a box of snacks from the princess.

It's not something expensive, but it expresses my thoughts.

Xie Jiu naturally accepted it.

The princesses only had half-day classes, and they had other things to learn in the afternoon. The boys learned the six arts, and the girls also had the eight arts of elegance, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers and tea.

So Xie Jiu could actually complete the task within half a day of entering the palace.

But whether she could leave the palace or not, she had to ask Zhao Xingjin, so she had to go to Chengming Palace.

Sure enough, Zhao Xingjin didn't plan to let her go just like that, and kept her for lunch.

After lunch, it was already hot, so we just stayed to take a nap.

When Xie Jiu was pulled to lie down, he vaguely realized that Zhao Xingjin seemed to have done it on purpose.

But fortunately it was broad daylight. Xie Jiu thought that even if Zhao Xingjin was unruly, he would not be so presumptuous, so he was not so nervous.

Sure enough, although Zhao Xingjin teased her, he didn't really do anything.

Xie Jiu always felt that he was more like seeking revenge for the mess he had made in the morning.

I couldn't help but curse him in my heart. He was really the kind of person who wouldn't suffer any loss at all!

Despite the scolding, I still had to be patient and sleep with him for half an hour.

It’s more tiring than not taking a lunch break.

Fortunately, Zhao Xingjin didn't plan to continue to torment her in the afternoon. After she woke up from her nap, he let her go.

After leaving the palace and getting on his own carriage, Xie Jiu let out a long sigh and collapsed.

Seeing how tired she was, Qingfang and Chunrong quickly cleaned up her things so that she could take a nap and rest in the car.

The carriage took only half an hour to travel slowly from the palace gate to Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, but Xie Jiu recovered a lot after being able to sleep for a while.

I had thought that I would go back to the yard to take a nap and replenish my energy after arriving at the place, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, Wu Qingchan came to the door in a loud voice.

"Xie! My brother has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and you still have the mind to sit here idle? Let me tell you, you are still a member of the Wu family. If anything happens to my brother, you will definitely be implicated. Why don't you think of a way to rescue my brother!"

Hearing this voice, Xie Jiu immediately felt a headache. He raised his hand to rub his temples, and his face turned cold. He winked at the person next to him.

Chunrong looked at it and immediately understood. She quickly walked out of the room and shouted loudly outside.

"What are you all standing there for? Can't you see that Madam wants to rest? Why don't you kick the noisy people out!"
