The Rise of a Farm Girl

Wang Jingru stayed at home for a week, and the teachers from the college came to her house to urge her to return home.

Wang Jingru had no choice but to go to college and start her study career again.

This time when he went to the college, there was someone he didn't expect to see, and he was also in the college.

This person is none other than the married Princess Yue Xuanyuan Yue.

Wang Jingru found it very strange. He couldn't avoid studying, but Princess Yue, who was already married, actually liked to come to the academy to study.

It was unbelievable, but what was even more unbelievable was yet to come. When Princess Yue saw Wang Jingru coming, she arrogantly blocked the way for her to get to her seat.

Wang Jingru couldn't go over, so she just stood there and looked at Princess Yue.

Princess Yue snorted, "Wang Jingru, you are at best a county lady. You didn't even kneel down to salute me when you saw me."

Wang Jingru bowed to Princess Yue, and Princess Yue asked Wang Jingru to keep her knees bent and in that position, not allowing her to get up. Wang Jingru became angry.

She stood up straight and took advantage of the situation. How dare you, Wang Jingru, disrespect me, the group leader.

Who allowed you to get up? Wang Jingru's voice also turned cold. May I ask Princess Yue, in what capacity did you come to the academy?

If you come to the college as a student, why do you act so arrogant in front of me? Set the rules for me.

I have already paid my respects to you. If you want to set rules for me here, then I don’t need to come to the academy. I come to the academy to study.

I'm not here to ask you, Princess Yue, to set rules for me and humiliate me. I haven't done anything wrong.

After all, I am also a county lady, not a commoner, not a servant in your mansion.

Wang Jingru, you are so bold that you dare to contradict the princess, Meng Yao, the daughter of the Taifu, scolded loudly.

But Wang Jingru didn't buy it. "Ms. Meng, please put yourself in the right position. I'm not a bold person, so there's no need for you to boss me around."

You are just a daughter of an official family, not an official. Meng Yao blushed and could not say a word.

Princess Yue saw Meng Yao, who stood up for her, was left speechless by what Wang Jingru said.

I thought silently in my heart, what a waste. She couldn't even handle this little thing, and Princess Yue was still trying to embarrass Wang Jingru. At this time, the teacher came in.

Princess Yue had no choice but to move aside because the person who came in was Xuanyuan Lei, and Princess Yue was very afraid of Xuanyuan Lei.

Xuanyuan Lei saw Princess Yue and Wang Jingru standing there looking at each other, and frowned in displeasure.

The voice was cold and said, Xuanyuan Yue, who asked you to come? Why are you blocking the way here? Why don’t you let Wang Jingru go back to her seat?

Wang Jingru suddenly perked up and looked at Xuanyuan Lei with tears in her eyes. “My eldest brother, Princess Yue, asked me to pay my respects to her, but after I finished the ceremony, she didn’t let me get up and wanted to set rules for me.”

We made her behave herself and then she stood up, but Princess Yue refused to give in and insisted that I kneel down in front of her.

Princess Yue rebuked loudly, Wang Jingru, what nonsense are you talking about? Xuanyuan Lei said angrily, enough is enough.

Since you always like to use your status to pressure others, then as the prince of the palace, do my words carry any weight? As a teacher, do my words have any effect?

Go to the yard and kneel down for punishment. You are not allowed to get up without my order. Princess Yue was so angry that she burst into tears.

I cried and shouted, I don’t want to go to this school anymore!

I went back and told my father that you bullied me, and then I ran out

Xuanyuan Lei watched her run out but didn't do anything. Instead, he finished the class with a gloomy face.

Then she left the college, and no student in the college dared to talk about Wang Jingru anymore.

Xuanyuan Lei went directly to Prince Wen's mansion. When he arrived at Prince Wen's mansion, Prince Wen personally received his nephew.

He was only the emperor's cousin, unlike Xuanyuan Lei who was the emperor's nephew.

After all, there are distinctions between relatives and strangers in the royal family. Xuanyuan Lei exchanged a few polite words with his uncle and then got straight to the point. His uncle, Princess Yue, became even more unreasonable.

Today in class, I actually had to set rules for my stepsister.

You should discipline her well and never act rashly again.

I myself couldn't bear to say a harsh word to my adopted sister, but Princess Yue actually spent money to bribe the teacher and asked him to go to my adopted sister's house.

He urged her to go back to the academy as soon as possible. My sister was not feeling well a few days ago and had not been to the academy. He really took great pains to set rules for my sister.

My cousin, your family has so much silver that we can't spend it all. Instead of squandering it, you might as well donate some to the national treasury.

My uncle the Emperor couldn't sleep every night because he was worried about the empty treasury.

But your family has so much money that you can't even spend it all and you waste it on this.

After Xuanyuan Lei finished speaking, Prince Wen broke out in a cold sweat. If the emperor knew about this, he would be in trouble.

He kept assuring Xuanyuan Lei that he would never let Princess Yue go out and make trouble again, and only then did Xuanyuan Lei calm down a little.

After leaving Prince Wen's Mansion and arriving at the Imperial Palace, the Emperor heard that Xuanyuan Lei had arrived and hurriedly asked him to enter the study. How come Lei had time to come today?

Someone, come here and let him sit down quickly. Xuanyuan Lei knelt on the ground without saying a word. The emperor felt very strange. What happened to Lei'er?

Have you been wronged? Hurry up and speak, Xuanyuan Lei said, "Uncle Huang, my sister is always bullied in the academy. Please give my sister the title of princess."

The emperor was very helpless because his nephew had a stubborn character.

Once he makes up his mind to do something, nothing can stop him.

The emperor tried to persuade her with emotion and reason, saying that you are just fooling around. Can anyone be given the title of princess?

She didn't make any greater contribution, but I promoted her from a county princess to a princess without any reason.

How will the officials in the court look at me? They will say that I cannot distinguish right from wrong. How can I win the support of the people in the future? Then the emperor will just have to think of a reason to reward me.

This made the emperor very angry, but he couldn't do anything to his nephew because he loved him the most. In the end, Xuanyuan Lei won, and the emperor had no choice but to write an imperial edict.

Wang Jingru came back from school and before she could have dinner, her father-in-law came to announce the decree.

The family of three and the servants knelt on the ground. Eunuch Liu took out the imperial edict and read it aloud. "The Emperor, by the will of Heaven, proclaims that Wang Jingru disregarded danger and rescued the prince. I am deeply pleased."

Wang Jingru was given the title of Princess Jingru, her fiefdom of Xinghai County remained unchanged, and she was also awarded 100 taels of silver.

The whole family was shocked after hearing the imperial edict. The father-in-law looked at the three people, who were still in shock, and coughed lightly twice.

After reminding a few people, Wang Jingru hurriedly said, "Thank you, my Lord, for your grace," and then took the imperial edict.

Wang Laosan hurriedly took out the silver bill from his sleeve and put it in the hands of Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu thanked him for his hard work along the way.

Eunuch Liu pinched the money in his hand. There must be at least one hundred taels of silver notes. Eunuch Liu accepted it with satisfaction. He thought in his heart that Lord Sinong was really capable and generous.

In the future, just say a few good words to Lord Sinong in front of the Emperor.

After seeing off Eunuch Liu, the family took the imperial edict to look at it. All three of them were very happy. Wang Jingru was happy that the princess could no longer embarrass him.

The family was happy when Xuanyuan Lei came. He saw Wang Jingru, touched her head and asked her if she was still happy.

After Xuanyuan Lei said this, Wang Jingru knew what was going on.

The family warmly entertained Xuanyuan Lei and had dinner together before Xuanyuan Lei went back.

Before leaving, he held Wang Jingru's hand and said, "If someone bullies you again, come and tell me and I will vent my anger for you."

Wang Jingru quickly nodded and said thank you, brother.

After seeing Xuanyuan Lei off, Wang Jingru went back to her room to rest. She was exhausted from the day.

Wang Jingru couldn't understand why these noble ladies always came to cause trouble for him.

She had no grudge against these people, and really couldn't understand their way of thinking. If she couldn't figure it out, she would just stop thinking about it.

Besides, Prince Wen was very angry after sending Xuanyuan Lei away, so he asked someone to call Princess Yue.

When Princess Wen heard that the prince was looking for her daughter, she thought it must be something big, so she hurried to the prince's study.

When she walked to the door, she happened to meet her daughter. The princess breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xuanyuan Yue. She tapped his forehead with her hand and said, "Tell me, have you gotten into trouble outside again?"

Tell me quickly, what's going on.

Before Princess Yue repeated what she had said to her mother, Prince Wen shouted in the study, "Come in now!" The two of them had no choice but to go into the study obediently.

When Prince Wen saw Xuanyuan Yue coming in, he scolded loudly, "Tell me what happened today."

Xuanyuan Yue didn't dare to tell the truth, so she started to make a false accusation.

He said that Wang Jingru always bullied him because she was Xuanyuan Lei's sister.

And since she was a princess, she used the title of princess to suppress the county princess. Wang Jingru couldn't beat her, but if she couldn't beat her, she would ask Xuanyuan Lei to vent her anger for her.

Xuanyuan Lei made me kneel outside the academy in public, and I ran back in anger.

Her twisted theory made Prince Wen very angry. Xuanyuan Lei was too bullying.

Xuanyuan Lei didn't take me, his uncle, seriously. Since you were so protective of Wang Jingru, he would start with Wang Jingru. He sent a servant from the mansion to invite Wang Jingru to the Sinong Mansion.

If she is invited in the name of the princess, Wang Jingru would not dare not come.

The servant quickly went to the Grand Minister of Agriculture's Mansion, but they in the royal palace really didn't know that Wang Jingru was now a princess. When Wang Jingru heard that the princess had invited her, she knew that Princess Yue must have gone home to complain.

The princess was trying to make things difficult for herself. Before Wang Jingru even left the house, she had already asked her maid Xiaotao to go find Xuanyuan Lei.

Wang Laosan and his wife were so anxious that they paced back and forth in the house.

Wang Jingru took a carriage to Prince Wen's mansion. When Wang Jingru arrived at the mansion and got off the carriage, a servant led her to the princess's courtyard.

Wang Jingru entered the living room, bowed to the princess and the prince, and stood up.

Prince Wen's face was as gloomy as water. Prince Wen's wife slammed the table and said, "Wang Jingru, you are so bold! Who allowed you to get up?"

Wang Jingru said calmly, I have already paid my respects to the prince and princess. Why can't I get up? Have I made a big mistake?

The county princess is really eloquent, Princess, you are wrong.

I am Princess Jingru, who was just conferred the title by the Emperor himself.

Princess Wen was very surprised when she heard this, and then she burst into laughter and said, "I think you want to be a princess. You must be crazy about it!"

Wang Jingru, you are just a small county princess, yet you dare to make up stories and even say that you are a princess.

"Someone come here," the princess shouted, and then two burly old women came in and stood on the left and right of Wang Jingru.

Take Wang Jingru away and make her kneel outside. Don't let her get up without my order.

Wang Jingru wanted to teach these two women a lesson, but the prince and princess were older than her.

If she insisted on resisting, even if she reported it to the emperor, she would not be in the right.

Wang Jingru did not resist. The two old women took her outside. It was almost dark outside.

Wang Jingru knelt in the yard, and Xuanyuan Yue said complacently, "Look who is kneeling there. You are just a small county lady, and you dare to let Brother Xuanyuan Lei bully me."

Wang Jingru didn't say anything, and then Xuanyuan Lei walked in.

He walked quickly to Xuanyuan Yue and gave her two big slaps in the face.

Xuanyuan Yue was beaten to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Princess Yue’s injuries, you can tell how angry Xuanyuan Lei must be right now.

Xuanyuan Lei quickly helped Wang Jingru up. Let her brother take a look to see if Jingru was injured.

Wang Jingru said that my brother was fine and it was the prince and princess who asked me to kneel here.

It's okay, you get up first, we will go to the emperor in a while. That is, we are going to file a complaint.

Wang Jingru stood up. Now she had Xuanyuan Lei as her backer. Prince Wen and Princess Wen, the couple, walked out of the house.

Prince Wen pointed at Xuanyuan Lei and shouted, "I am a prince, and I am punishing a mere county princess. Does the prince still need to come to my mansion to ask about this?"

Xuanyuan Lei looked at Prince Wen and said, I once told my uncle that Wang Jingru is my sister and my savior.

If I can't even protect my own sister, then there's no point in me being the crown prince.

Prince Wen, why don't we go to the Golden Palace to confront each other? You are a prince, but you dare to act lawless. You don't even take the princess appointed by the emperor seriously. You can punish me if you want, right? You can kill me if you want.

My sister was personally conferred the title of princess by the emperor.

Prince Wen was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't she a county princess? How could she really become a princess, on an equal footing with his daughter?

Then he really doesn't have this right. He can punish or kill anyone he wants.

If any mistake is made, he will punish it slightly.

It's not impossible. After all, he is a prince, and it is impossible to kill him.

Even if it was a punishment, it was just a small punishment to serve as a warning. But today, this matter was a little difficult to handle. He called someone over under the pretext that the princess wanted to see the county lady for something.

But when he came, he didn't say anything and just punished people. Soon the matter was brought to the attention of the emperor, and it was difficult to end well.

The prince could only calm the people down first and then think of a solution.

My nephew, please don't be angry. There may be some misunderstanding here. Please come into the house with Princess Jingru to have a cup of tea and sit down to chat.

Xuanyuan Lei took Wang Jingru's hand and went into the house with Prince Wen. He wanted to see what tricks they were going to play.

No matter what tricks they use, we must go to the palace today.
