Her guards

Chapter 223 The Lively Scenery of Spring

As night faded, the spring sunshine became bright and beautiful.

With a bang, the school window was pushed open, but the girl who opened the window had her eyes closed, seemingly unwilling to look at the spring morning light.

He didn't want to look at Yang Hui standing by the window either.

Yang Hui stood by the window and called out softly for a long time, not daring to shout loudly, but she refused to leave.

Regardless of whether her eyes were closed or not, Yang Hui was very excited to finally see her.

"Cousin, cousin."

"You're still not up?"

"Yes, yes, you can sleep as long as you want."

Mo Zheng, with her eyes closed, leaned against the window and said, "Actually, I just started to fall asleep..."

"Never mind," she asked with her eyes closed.

"looking for me?"

Yang Hui said happily, "The wedding date is set for April 18th. My mother has made a lot of clothes for you. When will you go back to try them on?"

Mo Zheng yawned and made two "uh-huh" sounds.

They didn't say when.

Yang Hui didn't mind, lowering her voice, "It's fine if you don't try it on. Your wedding dress was made in the palace, wasn't it?" Before Mo Zheng could answer, she asked, "Will His Majesty bestow a mansion upon you? I saw the Wei family renovating their residence; how could that mansion be worthy of you—"

Yang Hui was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks.

The emperor suddenly arranged a marriage between Yang Luo and Wei Jiao.

They didn't mention recognizing the princess either.

Will the princess be granted a residence after the marriage?
If you don't give her anything, how can she show off?

Mo Zheng hummed twice: "Everything is arranged by Your Majesty."

So, should we arrange it or not?
“If you can’t bring yourself to speak, have your father and mother talk to His Majesty,” Yang Hui said in a low voice, her eyes resolute. “Don’t worry, I will have them do it. As elders, they should always think of the well-being of their children. It’s not right for them to stay at home all day enjoying a life of leisure!”

Mo Zheng couldn't help but chuckle. She opened her eyes, about to say something, when a woman's shrill voice rang out.

"Yang Luo—"

"Yang Luo—"

Mo Zheng looked up and saw Princess Wu Yang rushing down the path, lifting her skirt.

"What's going on?" she couldn't help but ask. "Don't you teachers care about classes anymore?"

Why are you running around everywhere during school hours?

"The teacher asked everyone to copy it," Yang Hui said.

Anyway, she didn't come to be the princess's companion for the sake of studying, so it didn't matter whether she wrote or not, and she wasn't afraid of being scolded by the teacher.

Moreover, serving my cousin the princess is more important than anything else!

But what is Princess Wuyang doing here?
Could it be that she's jealous of her cousin marrying Wei Jiao and is going crazy because of it?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Yang Hui rushed over, spreading her arms and shouting at Princess Wuyang who was standing nearby, "Stop!"

Princess Wuyang was suddenly startled: "Yang Hui, have you gone mad!"

crazy?

In the past, when Princess Heping's cousin Chai Wan'er rolled her eyes at her, she dared not say anything and did not think that Chai Wan'er had gone mad.

Yang Hui looked at her arrogantly: "My cousin is busy studying, don't bother her."

Busy reading?

Princess Wuyang snapped out of her reverie, glanced at the window, and said, "She's asleep, what's she reading?" She snapped angrily, "Get out of my way!" and shoved Yang Hui aside.

Yang Hui couldn't stop it, her face flushed red, and she thought to herself that she should carry a whip with her like Chai Wan'er...

Lost in thought, she turned around and saw Princess Wuyang standing in front of the window.

"Yang Luo!" she cried, "My uncle has been framed by Heisei! Go and teach her a lesson!"

Mo Zheng opened her closed eyes.

what?
……

……

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Princess Heisei slammed down the pen in her hand and looked at Princess Wuyang who rushed in.

After the instructor finished the lesson and assigned copying, Princess Wuyang and Princess Nangong, as usual, made various excuses to go back to the lounge to slack off. Some of the other maids were chatting quietly, while others were making various excuses to slip out and play...

Reading is a tedious activity, and many people cannot persist in it.

Princess Heisei did not require others to be like her.

She was focused on writing when Princess Wuyang burst in, shouting that her uncle, Li Xuan, had been arrested and taken to the Dali Temple.

"You're the one who told Father Emperor, aren't you! Release my uncle at once!"

This is ridiculous! What does it have to do with her!

Princess Heisei raised her eyebrows and rebuked, "You don't understand politics and you're talking nonsense. Even if we are princesses, we can ask Father Emperor for all kinds of favors, but we cannot interfere in politics. How can you arrest someone with just a word? Are you saying that Father Emperor is a tyrant?"

Prince Wuyang was speechless, but then stamped his foot: "I didn't mention Father Emperor. Even if you didn't, you had your maternal grandfather and uncles harm my uncle. My aunt said that it was your maternal grandfather who arrested my uncle!"

Princess Heisei sneered: "If a subject can arrest another subject, it must be in accordance with the law. The law cannot be violated, so why are you making trouble for me!"

Princess Nangong, unable to bear watching any longer, reminded her, "Princess, Princess Wuyang may have misunderstood. After all, when General Chai was arrested, she mocked you, and you warned her..." Princess Heping frowned, and Princess Wuyang also realized, "Yes, you did. You said you would send my uncle to the Dali Temple."

She did say it then, but wasn't it... a joke?
Princess Wuyang seized upon this tantrum and framed her?
so funny.

Princess Heisei sneered: "You're making a fuss about this? Fine, then I'll say it again: I'll go tell Father Emperor to send you to the Dali Temple as well!"

Princess Wuyang's face turned pale.

"And you!" Princess Heping looked at Princess Nangong with disgust in her eyes. "Always sneaking around. Your mother is already someone who can't be brought to the table, and you still don't respect yourself! You've truly disgraced the bloodline of the Emperor!"

Princess Nangong's tears streamed down her face. Although her humble demeanor was often feigned, being publicly scolded by Princess Heisei made her wish she could disappear into the ground.

The young ladies accompanying the students in the school were completely silent. When the Empress came last time, she beat Consort Li and Princess Wuyang without hesitation. Although Princess Pingcheng was young, she treated her two younger sisters like servants.

very scary.

Princess Heisei's gaze swept over the ladies-in-waiting, but she made no attempt to offer any words of comfort...

It's also an opportunity to let them know the princess's majesty, so they won't gossip in private, especially lately.

Suddenly, my gaze stopped.

"What are you here for?"

Who? The young ladies-in-waiting followed Princess Heisei's gaze and first saw Yang Hui...

Yang Hui originally wanted to stand in front of Miss Yang, but Princess Heisei's eyes were too frightening, and she couldn't help but shudder and shrink her shoulders to take a step back.

Miss Yang was then revealed.

No one noticed that Miss Yang had also arrived.

Yes, what brings Miss Yang here?
Miss Yang met Princess Heisei's gaze and curtsied, saying, "Princess Wuyang sent me..."

"Did she send you to question me?" Princess Heisei interrupted her, saying calmly, "The disciple of the Grand Master of Ceremonies has no right to interfere in matters between us sisters."

“Yes, the disciples of the Imperial Academy cannot interfere,” Miss Yang replied immediately. “But Consort Li died to save me, and I will definitely come to see her if her daughter asks. Please forgive me, Princess.”

He said "please forgive me" but his expression showed no remorse, and he didn't even kneel down to pay his respects.

Princess Wuyang snapped out of her daze, looked at the standoff between the two, and suddenly smiled.

"Heisei, you're just arrogant and look down on us because you're born to the Empress and hold the title of eldest daughter!" She scoffed, pointing at Yang Luo, "Her mother was Father's first wife; she's the true eldest princess. Your mother was a concubine..."

"No, you're not even a second wife, you're a concubine! You're just an eldest daughter of a concubine!"

"What are you so smug about!"

With a loud bang, Princess Heisei felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in her ears, and she could hear nothing more.

She knew that people had all sorts of speculations, discussions, and even jokes about Yang Luo's background.

But no one dared to say it publicly.

After all, even the emperor hasn't said anything, so who would dare to speak recklessly? That would be slander, that would be utter disrespect.

She thought she would never have to face this moment...

I didn't expect this moment to come so quickly.

"Someone is coming."

Princess Heisei heard her own voice.

Following her voice, it wasn't the palace women who rushed in, but a squad of imperial guards.

The Empress's personal guards.

Since that attack, the Empress has given her personal guards to the Heisei Emperor.

"Capture Princess Wuyang and send her to the Yeting prison."

"Princess Nangong has also been captured."

"And Yang Luo."

"besides……"

Princess Heisei's gaze swept across the hall, and the young ladies-in-waiting looked shocked, each seemingly wanting to escape...

If we let them escape, wouldn't they tell everyone what happened today?

Today's words will spread throughout the inner quarters, throughout the capital, throughout the world, and will be passed down to their descendants. Even a hundred years later, when people in the inner quarters chatter about how there was once a princess who was actually an illegitimate daughter...

Princess Heisei's face turned deathly pale.

"Take everyone away."

……

……

The school was filled with screams, cries, and pleas.

Liu Chan sat at the back of the crowd, still copying. When Princess Wu Yang rushed in, everyone stood up to watch the spectacle, but she didn't. She continued copying, and as the noise and commotion grew, her pen moved faster and faster.

She showed no surprise or fear at what happened, not even when Princess Heisei ordered the guards to arrest them.

There is great wealth in books, but wealth is always sought in danger. Accompanying the princess to study is a great fortune, but it will also inevitably bring trouble because of its proximity to the royal family.

Sooner or later.

Alas, this princess's tutoring school has come to an end today.

Before being driven away and arrested by the imperial guards, Liu Chan finished writing the last stroke, leaving a perfect ending.

　A new plot is unfolding, ah.
