"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, please stay." Gu Yuan's voice came from behind.

Turning around, I saw Gu Yuan and Gu Xue kneeling on the ground together. "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

Gu Xue looked up, her eyes full of gratitude, "I learned from my brother that thanks to your highness's insistence, the case was retried and I was cleared of all charges. I have no way to repay you for this kindness, and I am willing to stay in the mansion and serve you."

"I am willing to stay with my sister and serve Your Highness at your service." Gu Yuan bowed and pleaded.

"I just couldn't bear to see the injustice. You don't have to take it to heart. Just get up quickly." Seeing the two of them having such intentions, Jiang Lingyue was already satisfied.

But the brother and sister did not stand up. Instead, they looked at her pitifully like puppies abandoned by their owner, making it hard to refuse.

After careful consideration, Jiang Lingyue felt that it would not be a bad thing to have more trustworthy people in the mansion. So, she gave the right to choose to the two.

"Gu Xue, you are injured, go back and recuperate first, and think carefully for a while. After careful consideration, if you still want to stay in the Ninth Princess's Mansion, you can go to the housekeeper Qiu Ju."

Jiang Lingyue took the opportunity to introduce the housekeeper beside her to the two of them, and Qiuju nodded in understanding.

Seeing that she finally agreed, the brother and sister looked at each other, and then stood up together as if they had telepathy.

The Ninth Princess and her group turned around and left. The brother and sister watched them go away until their backs disappeared.

It was already afternoon when Jiang Lingyue returned to the mansion. Although the past two days were tiring, she felt a sense of accomplishment. She felt happier than ever before.

The next day, it was time for the academy to start classes again. At noon, Jiang Lingyue took the gift and walked towards the side courtyard where she met Wen Yuanzhou.

Before she got close, she saw the familiar white figure, but standing opposite him was another tall young man.

But he was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with navy blue gold thread, a dark sapphire spider-patterned belt around his waist, and an exquisite pure gold crown on his head, which tied up his long, shiny black hair. His outfit was low-key yet luxurious.

His body is straight, his eyebrows are sharp, his eyes are bright, and his thin lips are slightly pursed. Just by standing there relaxedly, he has the air of a king dominating the world. He is truly a descendant of a noble family, with an extraordinary bearing.

Detected with the Eye of Identification, 40 years old, yellow rank lower grade gold spiritual root, initial stage of Qi Refining, and 0 favorability towards the host.

Searching her memory, she recognized this person as Ye Xinghe, the eldest prince of the neighboring Qingyang Kingdom.

The people of Qingyang Kingdom were ordinary humans, men were superior to women, and polygamy was practiced, just like the ancient feudal dynasties in her original world.

The eldest prince was born to the late queen and was sent to Tianfeng Kingdom twenty years ago, nominally for study, but in reality he was a hostage sent by the old emperor.

Noticing the prying eyes, Ye Xinghe glanced at her casually. The dark and unpredictable eyes, the condescending look, gave people the feeling of looking at a dog, and scared her so much that she unconsciously looked away.

After thinking about it, she felt ashamed. This was the Tianfeng Kingdom and she was the ninth princess. How could she lose the momentum? So she looked at the other party and glared back fiercely.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Xinghe remained calm and turned to Wen Yuanzhou and said, "I have a guest, so I'll take my leave first. I hope Master Wen will seriously consider the matter we just discussed."

After saying this, he walked past her and left.

Jiang Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and she complained in her heart, "What a big iceberg face, you didn't even say hello when you saw me. You just ignored me, right? If I wasn't afraid of damaging my image in Master Wen's heart, I would have to have a good argument with you."

Wen Yuanzhou turned around, still as handsome as when they first met, with bright moon and fresh breeze.

Seeing that it was her, there was a hint of doubt in his light brown eyes, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, do you have something to ask me?"

"Ahem, nothing important." Jiang Lingyue was a little embarrassed. "Last time, Master Wen showed me the way, and I never had the chance to formally express my gratitude. I happened to see a nice item while shopping the other day, so I thought of buying it as a gift for Master Wen."

During the conversation, she carefully took out the jade pendant she bought that day from her storage bag and handed it to Wen Yuanzhou.

Seeing the beautifully packaged gift box, Wen Yuanzhou did not dare to accept it. "It's just a small favor. Your Highness, there is no need to do this. I am unworthy of this gift."

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Jiang Lingyue showed a dejected expression.

"It's just a vulgar thing. Master Wen, don't you despise it?"

"This..." Seeing her sad look, Wen Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand to take the gift box, "Thank you! Your Highness the Ninth Prince is troubled."

"You're welcome, you should."

Jiang Lingyue's face immediately lit up with joy, but she was afraid that he would change his mind and not accept it, so she waved goodbye in a hurry.

"Master Wen, I have something else to do. I'll leave first!"

After she left, Wen Yuanzhou opened the gift box and saw the jade pendant with a warm color and excellent texture. He guessed that someone like the Ninth Princess who knew nothing about jade must have gone through a careful selection to find this item.

Recalling her cautious expression just now, a ripple appeared in someone's calm heart. It seemed that this was the first time that an outsider prepared a gift for him so attentively. This feeling seemed quite good.

Not long after Jiang Lingyue left, she received a system prompt that Wen Yuanzhou's favorability towards her had increased by 5 and was now 10.

It seems that the other party is quite satisfied with the gift she gave him. That's good. It was worth her spending so much time choosing.

While strolling past the central square of the college, I found a large group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board, excitedly looking at the information on it and discussing something enthusiastically.

Driven by curiosity, she immediately turned and walked towards the notice board.

After walking a few steps, she saw two other women from the physical training class standing over there, and they happened to see her.

Lin Lige stood on tiptoe and waved at her excitedly, "Your Highness, come here quickly. The academy has an important announcement."

Hearing this, her interest was aroused and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
