If not abolished

Yikun Palace

"My Lady, Miss Sun is here."

"Let her sit in the hall and wait for a while. I will come over later."

"Your Majesty, are you planning to leave her alone?" Yunqi asked as she pinned a flower on Concubine Wang's hair.

Concubine Wang stroked her eyebrows and said, "I think I didn't draw my eyebrows well today. Let's draw them again."

Yunqi had no choice but to erase it and paint it again.

"It's almost time, let's go out." Concubine Wang looked in the mirror and seemed quite satisfied.

"The royal concubine has arrived."

Sun Ruoji waited anxiously for a long time and almost thought that the imperial concubine was not going to see her. When she heard the voice, she was startled.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and good health."

"No need to be polite."

"My Lady, I came here today to explain to you that I really did not disrespect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in what happened yesterday." Sun Ruoji only found out today that the news has spread all over the palace and everyone is talking about her. She doesn't dare to go out now, so she can only come to ask the Lady.

"Good boy, don't be anxious. Tell me what happened yesterday."

"This is what happened. Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see me..." Sun Ruoji told her everything that happened yesterday.

"So that's how it is. Then it's not your fault. It was the palace maids who spread the rumor. I will punish them right away. Yunqi, pass the order down. If anyone talks about this again, they will be fined for three months."

"As ordered."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"However, I can help you shut up these people in the harem, but you have to deal with Agui yourself. Although this is not your fault, Agui has been pampered since he was a child, so he really can't let it go. But you don't have to worry, Agui has always been sensible, if you say nice things to her, she won't mind it."

"I hope so. I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't even come to see this minister."

"If he doesn't want to see you, then go see him. Oh, I was just about to tell you something. I suggested to His Majesty that you ladies study poetry and songs together. It's almost been arranged now. Your usual study time and place will be similar to Agui's morning class. You should be next to them. This way you will have more opportunities to meet each other."

When Sun Ruoji heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Are you serious, Madam?"

"Of course it's true. How can I lie to you? You just need to prepare in the next two days. I will also inform Chuxiu Palace later."

"Yes, I will prepare it right away."

"Wait, there's no need to be so anxious. I'm telling you, go there and study hard. Agui has been good at poetry and painting since he was a child. If you want to have a common language with him, you can't lose in this aspect."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your guidance."

"Well, let's go."

"Then Ruoji will take his leave first."

Chuxiu Palace

"What, going to study?" The ladies here had just heard the news and were talking about it.

"This is the order just conveyed by the Yikun Palace. Ladies, please be ready in two days." Aunt Yan arranged.

"Yes."

As soon as Aunt Ru finished speaking, Aunt Yan said, "There is one more thing. The Imperial Concubine said that if anyone is heard talking about Miss Sun again, they will be severely punished. Ladies, remember to watch your mouths. Do you understand?"

"Listen clearly."

"Okay, that's it for today, everyone go back and prepare."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone returned to their rooms.

Chu Xuanying, the little megaphone, whispered in Cao Wanyi's ear: "This Sun Ruoji is so capable that she actually asked the Imperial Concubine to help her out."

"It's not just for her. It's your responsibility to manage the harem. You can't let the palace maids gossip about you every day. Okay, don't say anything more. Someone might hear you later."

"Oh."

Two days later.

"Hello ladies, I am your class instructor. Today is the first day, so let's get to know each other."

…………

"Brother Crown Prince, I heard that there is a lady attending class next door today. Will you go and take a look later?" Zhu Zhanqi teased.

"No." Zhu Zhanji stared at the article assigned by the teacher today carefully.

"Oh, Brother Crown Prince, Your Highness, are you embarrassed? Why don't you go with me?"

"It's you who wants to go, right?" Zhu Zhanji could see that this kid didn't dare to drag someone down with him.

"How could that be? My brother is not that kind of person."

"Oh, really? Since you are going, why not ask Zhanhe to come along? Zhan... woo woo." Before Zhu Zhanji could finish his words, he was blocked by Zhu Zhanqi.

"If my brother knew about this, he would definitely beat me." Zhu Zhanqi said in his ear.

“Wuwuwu…” Zhu Zhanji wanted to speak, but this boy wouldn’t let him go.

Zhu Zhanqi was afraid that he would shout, so he said, "I'll let you go, but you can't shout anymore, brother Taisun."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and Zhu Zhanqi let him go half-heartedly. Zhu Zhanji panted and said, "You kid, you dare to block my mouth."

"Your Highness, please spare my life, I have no other choice."

When Zhu Zhanji and the others were almost gone, he picked up his things and prepared to go back. As soon as he went out, he saw Sun Ruoji standing in the corner. There was no need to guess that she was waiting for him. He pretended not to see her and walked past her without looking at her.

Seeing this, Sun Ruoji hurriedly followed, "Your Highness, Your Highness, wait a minute."

Not only did Zhu Zhanji not stop, he even quickened his pace.

"Ah." It sounded like Sun Ruoji fell down. Zhu Zhanji finally stopped but did not look back. After a while, as if he had made some important decision, he turned around and took a look. Sure enough, Sun Ruoji fell to the ground with tears in her eyes. When she saw him turn around, her tears fell. Later, she found out that crying in public was a taboo in the palace, so she quickly wiped them with her sleeves.

Zhu Zhanji sighed, walked over and helped her up.

"Can you walk? If not, I will ask someone to carry you." It was impossible for him to support her all the way to Yikun Palace.

Sun Ruoji shook her head. "I just fell down. It's okay. I can walk on my own."

Hearing her say this, Zhu Zhanji immediately let go and said, "In that case, it's so late, you should go back early, otherwise the imperial concubine will be worried."

"Your Highness, are you angry?"

"No, it's just the rumors in the palace that are a bit annoying. Let's try to see each other less in the future. It won't be good for you if we don't. It's not good for a girl like you to be talked about all the time."

"I don't care. They can say whatever they want. I just ask Your Highness not to ignore me." Sun Ruoji was about to cry again, but fortunately she held it back.

"Don't do this. I don't deserve you to do this."

"Your Highness deserves it, and it is also what I am willing to do."

"Silly girl."
