Dominate the ancient academy

Wei Ziyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, was also on the boat. The Sixth Prince already had a fiancée, was not favored, and had no interest in the throne. In the future, he would be nothing more than an idle prince. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, and she would not look down on a mere concubine.

Prince Yun has a noble status and is favored by the Emperor, so he is not much worse than the other princes. The Princess of Dingbei is no less attractive than the concubines of the princes.

Therefore, Wei Ziyuan's target is Prince Yun. What does it matter if a concubine's sister has outstanding appearance? Her status is destined to prevent her from becoming the main wife. Unless she marries into a small family or a poor scholar, she will always be inferior to him.

Just like this lake cruise, those who could come to accompany the fifth princess and the sixth princess were all legitimate daughters, and there was no place for concubines' sisters. But I didn't expect that Prince Yun was also here.

This is her chance. There are too many people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and she may not be able to meet Prince Yun. This lake cruise is a godsend.

After getting on board, Wei Ziyuan's eyes kept wandering around Prince Yun, trying to attract his attention. Her dance won cheers from everyone on the boat, but Prince Yun didn't even look at her.

Fortunately, Prince Yun did not even look at the performances of all the noble ladies, which gave Wei Ziyuan some more confidence.

I just don't know how this cousin from the general's mansion caught the eye of Prince Yun. Is it because they studied in the same academy? If I had known earlier, I would have let my eldest brother study in the "Yu Ren Academy" as well. If he could become friends with Prince Yun, wouldn't she have a reason to get close to him?

Wei Ziyuan was sitting in her seat admiring the talents of other noble ladies, but her whole mind was still on Yun Qinghan. She saw Prince Yun say a few words to the people around him and leave the cabin. Wei Ziyuan waited for a few breaths and followed him.

Yun Qinghan felt more and more bored in the cabin. He had no interest in watching the group of gorgeous peacocks.

Seeing that my junior fellow apprentice seemed quite interested, I could only give him a few words of advice and then go out of the cabin to get some fresh air.

The lady in the middle is painting, her strokes of the brush and ink are very graceful. Shu Xiaoxiao watches intently, wanting to know what the final product will look like.

Shu Xiaoxiao had only seen this scene in some videos in modern times, but they were all edited and not as beautiful as the live scene. Moreover, the young lady who was painting was pretty and lively, and her painting was fluent and graceful. It was a pleasure to just look at her without looking at the painting.

So when she heard that Senior Brother Yun was going outside to get some fresh air, Shu Xiaoxiao simply waved her hand and said, "Senior Brother Yun, go get some fresh air first. I'll go find you after I'm done."

When he spoke, he didn't even turn his head.

Yun Qinghan:......

This ignorant little bumpkin needs to be shown more real works in the future. Otherwise, with just his mediocre painting skills, his junior brother acts like he is so great, which is really embarrassing for him.

Yun Qinghan didn't know that Shu Xiaoxiao not only appreciated the young lady's paintings, but also her graceful figure as she painted. If the paintings were done by a grandfather with a white beard, Shu Xiaoxiao might not be able to appreciate it, after all, he was only appreciating the beauty of the young lady.

Is the painting important? Of course it is! But what is more important is whether the painter is more beautiful.

Because people are superficial and only want to see the surface, not the connotation. Of course, in addition to beautiful girls, handsome boys are also acceptable!

Seeing that Ye Xiao didn't even turn his head, Yun Qinghan walked out of the cabin directly. Ye Xiao was brought by him, and since the Sixth Prince was also here, no one dared to cause trouble for Ye Xiao, so Yun Qinghan also noticed it.

Wei Ziyuan was not the only one who noticed that Yun Qinghan had left the cabin. The eyes of the others also swept over Yun Qinghan's back more or less. They continued to deal with things in the cabin. After all, the prince and princess were still sitting there. It would not be worth it if they followed him out and annoyed Master Yun.

After Yun Qinghan left, the Sixth Prince continued to watch the performance of the noble ladies actively. Only the Eleventh Prince waited for a while and then walked out of the cabin.

Seeing the back of the eleventh prince as he left, and thinking of the words he said to him before boarding the ship, the corners of his mouth twitched. Could it be that the eleventh prince was going to win over cousin Yun? He was not afraid that his father would know and beat him. When it came to the prince and cousin Yun, his father stood on cousin Yun's side unconditionally.

Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince decided that he would never leave the cabin before his cousin Yun came back. Even if he wanted to go to the bathroom, he had to endure it. Otherwise, he would see his Eleventh Prince trying to win over his cousin Yun but failed, or the Eleventh Prince wanted both of them to win over Yun at the same time. How embarrassing that would be!

The cruise ship was very big, with three floors. They were originally on the second floor, but Yun Qinghan came out and went straight to the third floor. The view here was open, the waves were rippling, and the breeze was blowing. It was much more comfortable than being inside. I don’t know what was so good about the paintings there.

"Huo Feng, tell Junior Sister Ye to come here to enjoy the scenery with me when she comes out. Don't get lost."

Huo Feng:......

The ship is so small, what's the point of not having enough space? Is the mouth under the nose just for decoration?

"Yes."

When Wei Ziyuan came out, there was no trace of Yun Qinghan. After all, she was a noble lady born in a famous family. Even if she was facing Prince Yun, it would be detrimental to her reputation if she was too anxious. The Weiguo Mansion could not afford to lose this person.

In response to the servant's question, Wei Ziyuan directly said that she was going to the bathroom. After coming out of the bathroom, Wei Ziyuan made up an excuse to send the servant away and looked around for Prince Yun.

After searching the second floor but not finding Prince Yun, Wei Ziyuan immediately thought of going to the third floor. Seeing that there was no one around, she went up to the third floor immediately.

When Yun Qinghan went up to the third floor, Huo Feng had already cleared the area.

When Wei Ziyuan went upstairs, Huo Feng happened to come to find Ye Xiao, so Wei Ziyuan went to the third floor easily.

When Yun Qinghan noticed someone was there, she thought that Ye Xiao still had some conscience and had not forgotten who brought her up to play. She found that the performances were flashy and quite good.

It was not until Wei Ziyuan started talking that Yun Qinghan reacted. He immediately looked impatient and hoped that Huo Feng would come back quickly to clear the situation.

Wei Ziyuan saw that Prince Yun didn’t react and thought that Prince Yun might also be interested in her. Maybe Prince Yun was just shy and was waiting for her to speak first?

"The scenery here is beautiful and refreshing. Ziyuan came here specially to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I didn't expect to meet Prince Yun. Ziyuan is polite."

Wei Ziyuan's face was full of shyness.

"My daughter is the legitimate daughter of Duke Wei. I often hear my father mention Prince Yun, who is quick-witted and studious, extremely intelligent, well-read, and proficient in both civil and military affairs. After seeing him today, I can see that my father was not exaggerating at all."

Wei Ziyuan observed Yun Qinghan's expression as she spoke. Prince Yun should be very happy to hear her praise him like that.

As a result, Prince Yun didn't say a word, and his expression became more and more impatient. Wei Ziyuan immediately felt aggrieved. Before, Prince Yun had been gentle and indulgent towards that so-called junior brother, but now he was harsh to her. Could it be that she was not as good as that so-called junior brother?

Yun Qinghan became more and more impatient as he looked at the woman in front of him. If it weren't for his uncle the Emperor who gave the order personally, he would have left long ago instead of listening to this woman's constant nagging.

Wei Ziyuan saw that Prince Yun was becoming more and more impatient, but she didn't want to give up. After all, opportunities are rare and will never come again. If she didn't seize the chance this time, who knows if there will be another chance in the future?

Just then a gust of wind blew, and Wei Ziyuan immediately made a frail expression, as if she was about to fall because of the wind.

As long as she and Prince Yun fell into the lake together, her reputation would be lost, and Prince Yun would marry her even if he was unwilling.
