Her guards

Chapter 51 The Princess's Timely Handling

Princess Heisei experienced a headache for the first time in her life.

First, I was surprised that this study companion dared to compete with and exclude others like this, and then I was shocked when Yang Hui called out her maternal grandfather's house.

She didn't know what Yang Hui's intentions were yet, but she was really stupid!

She suggested adding a tutor. As a young princess, she would at most be accused of being arrogant because of the emperor's favor, thus avoiding accusations that her father was unfaithful and preventing any repercussions for her mother and maternal grandfather's family.

They can't stand criticism.

As it turned out, Yang Hui dragged her mother and the Marquis of Yichun's family into the mess right away.

This is only the first day!
If there hadn't been so many people around her, she would have slapped herself.

It was also her fault; she had no understanding of Yang Hui at all, and who would have thought she was so stupid.

If a child grows up like this, you can imagine that the parents aren't much better.

I really don't know how a family like this could cause a conflict between the Emperor, the Empress, and the maternal grandfather's family!
But now that things have come to this, she can't just ignore it.

Princess Heisei's gaze swept over everyone.

"Yes, it was I who asked my mother to let me accompany you in your studies." She smiled slightly and extended her hand to Yang Hui.

Yang Hui, who was initially anxious and uneasy after realizing she had spoken out of turn, was overjoyed. She quickly stepped forward, grasped Princess Heisei's hand, and looked aggrieved.

Princess Heisei smiled at her.

“Yang Hui knows my cousins ​​and I am familiar with her temperament, so my mother asked my maternal grandmother to convey to the Duke of Ding’an that she was invited to be my tutor.”

Then look at the other people inside.

"Everyone says they're here to accompany me in my studies, but the most important thing is to study. We should all study diligently and cherish this opportunity to enter the Chinese Academy. So focus on your own studies and don't let me distract you."

Princess Heisei finally looked at the companion whose name she hadn't yet memorized...

"Her name is Liu Chan'er, from some academy in Fuzhou," Yang Hui said this time with great insight, her expression smug. See? Even the princess doesn't know who you are.

Princess Heisei refrained from shaking off Yang Hui's hand.

"Miss Liu, thank you very much." She said with a smile, "You don't need to take notes for me. Just study hard on your own. I'll be even happier if you do well."

Yang Hui gloated at being humiliated in front of the princess, but then she saw Miss Liu nod in agreement.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will study hard," she said. "I will not let this opportunity to learn with Your Highness go to waste."

After saying this, he looked at Princess Heisei with sincere eyes.

"Today is the first day of class, and the princess doesn't know me yet. Once she does, she'll definitely like my personality."

Yang Hui's eyes widened, and the young ladies around her, who had been watching the spectacle with various expressions, were once again incredulous.

Not only were they not ashamed, they even...fawned over the princess.

This Miss Liu Chan is really persistent!

Princess Heisei's expression was also somewhat complicated. This young lady seemed to be impulsive and straightforward, and for a moment she couldn't seem to get angry at her. She found it somewhat amusing.

That's it.

"Alright, everyone, stop crowding. Let's rest and have some tea and snacks. We have class soon," she said with a smile, then stood up and shook off Yang Hui's hand.

She shouldn't rest here either.

Everyone hurriedly stood up, but before they could speak, a voice rang in their ears.

"Respectfully seeing off the princess!"

Yang Luo bowed in greeting.

Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly followed suit, saying, "Respectfully seeing off the princess."

Princess Heisei felt a strange sensation upon hearing the phrase "Respectfully Sending Off the Princess." She maintained her smile and walked outside, Yang Hui quickly following behind…

"You should rest too," Princess Heisei said.

Yang Hui quickly replied, "I am the princess's tutor..."

“She is a tutor, not a maid.” Princess Heisei turned her head slightly to look at her.

The princess had a smile on her face.

But Yang Hui felt a chill for no reason, shrank her neck and whispered a yes, watching Princess Heisei walk towards the door.

Princess Wuyang and Princess Nangong stood at the entrance, one with raised eyebrows and the other with a smile in her eyes, both making no attempt to hide their excitement.

Clearly, they enjoyed the spectacle very much.

"Respectfully seeing off the princess." Princess Wuyang said to Princess Heping in a drawn-out tone, then winked and smiled, "These young ladies in the palace used to be too pretentious. I never expected that outside the palace, they would fight and scramble to curry favor with the eldest princess, no different from those纨绔子弟 (spoiled brats).

What are these spoiled young men fighting over? The most beautiful courtesan in a brothel?
Princess Nangong whispered from the side, "Don't say that. It's only natural that everyone likes the eldest princess."

Princess Heisei looked at them coldly: "Everyone likes me, don't you two like me too?"

She definitely didn't like Princess Heisei, but she couldn't say it out loud. Princess Nangong shrank her neck timidly, "Sister, I didn't..."

Princess Heisei glanced at her and said, "Only an eight-year-old Shengping can feign pitifulness; you're already fourteen."

Princess Nangong lowered her head even further, not daring to utter another word.

Princess Wuyang snorted, "They dare to act arrogantly towards us and complain to Father Emperor." After saying that, she glanced at Yang Luo and Yang Hui, "Those two even mentioned Empress Yichun and Marquis Yichun when they were arguing, and you didn't say a word."

Princess Heicheng coldly said, "I am the ruler, and they are the subjects. There is proper etiquette between ruler and subject. You two are my younger sisters, and I am the elder sister. An elder sister is like a mother, and it is only right that I teach you." Princess Wuyang glared as if she was about to say something, but the palace women who were watching her hurriedly interrupted her.

"Princesses, please rest now."

"I still need to write in a little while."

Princess Wuyang was even angrier. These people were bullies who preyed on the weak. They didn't interrupt Princess Heping when she spoke, but they would interrupt her.

Suddenly, a palace maid approached Princess Heisei and whispered something. Princess Heisei's originally cold face immediately broke into a smile.

"Really?" she asked. "He didn't say he was coming when we met yesterday."

The palace maid laughed and said, "They must have wanted to come and see the princess, but didn't want to disturb her studies."

"Him?" Princess Heisei said with a smile, "He's not afraid of bothering me at all."

Princess Nangong, who had been listening intently, forgot about feigning pitifulness and asked curiously, "Who's here?"

The palace maid glanced at her and said, "Wei Jiao."

"Wei Jiao!" Princess Wuyang exclaimed, immediately looking around. "Where is he?"

This is where the princesses study, and students are not allowed to approach.

The young ladies inside avoided listening to the princesses' conversation by the door, but since it was so close, everyone heard Princess Wuyang call out "Wei Jiao".

"Wei Jiao?"

Which health department?

"Of course it's the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Why is he here?"

"Wei Jiao really likes Princess Heisei, so he must have come for the princess."

The young ladies couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves, their expressions not showing the fear that outsiders had when talking about Wei Jiao, but rather excitement and agitation.

After Wei Jiao arrived in the capital at the age of thirteen, she became known to everyone for her outstanding beauty.

Although Wei Jiao is now intimidating due to her status as a Commandant of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, she is still a beautiful woman that young women love to look at.

Yang Hui looked out excitedly, then turned around as if remembering something, and saw that the man surnamed Liu had sat down to read a book at some point.

"Stop pretending," she cursed through gritted teeth, and walked over: "Do you know Wei Jiao?"

Yang Luo glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"When Wei Jiao comes later, don't go near the princess," Yang Hui snorted. "He doesn't have the princess's good temper."

After saying it, I regretted it a little.

Why should I remind you!

Wouldn't it be better to let her go up and get beaten up by Wei Jiao?
Yang Hui flicked her sleeves and walked away again.

Yang Luo withdrew her gaze. Did she know Wei Jiao? More than just knowing him, she had already dealt with him.

She gripped the pen tightly. In her previous life, Yang Hui had said that Wei Jiao was on good terms with Princess Heping, so wherever Princess Heping was, Wei Jiao would definitely be there.

I just didn't expect it to appear so early.

It's only the first day of school.

.......
.......
As the bell of the National Academy rang, Yang Luo walked out and looked toward the carriages and horses. He immediately saw the young guard sitting in the carriage, cracking his whip.

Mo Zheng saw her instantly and urged the horse to pull the carriage over.

"Miss was the first one out," she said, glancing behind Yang Luo. "Is school over? Or did you skip school?"

Yang Luo was amused.

It's still better to be with Ah Sheng; she can't help but smile.

"School's out, and they're all waiting for the princess," Yang Luo said.

Wei Jiao did not come over, and Princess Heicheng did not return after leaving. When Princess Wuyang questioned her, the tutor said that the princess was writing in other places and would hand it in on time.

Princess Wuyang angrily said that he must be with Wei Jiao.

So after school, everyone else waited for the princess, hoping to catch a glimpse of Wei Jiao.

Of course she wouldn't wait; leaving quickly was the most important thing.

"How was your first day of school, Miss?"

He heard the young guard asking a question.

Yang Luo smiled and said, "Not bad."

He angered Yang Hui, flattered the princess, and became famous overnight.

Of course, there's no need to tell the young guards about these things.

"And you?" she asked, "Are you tired of waiting here?"

Mo Zheng responded with an "Oh," and said, "It's alright."

Having eaten snacks, read books, and even displayed her female form, she seems to have achieved a good balance between work and rest.
