Seeing Chunxue ignoring him, Qiao Shinian had no choice but to take two steps, fold his arms, lean against the wall and look at the person in front of him.

These palace maids and Xiao Si looked very young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old.

What should teenagers of this age be doing?

At this time, you should have just gotten out of bed, eaten breakfast, and prepared to go to school.

I don’t know how long I watched the lively people in front of me, but there was laughter in the school. Qiao Shinian was a little curious, so she walked to the door and carefully looked at the scene inside. She was very worried about Wen Jiu.

Through the servants' idle chats, she learned that all of them were children of princes and ministers, and the lowest-ranking official in their family was a third-rank official.

She thought carefully about what Wen Jiu was wearing today. It wasn't too good. She wore a white shirt and a blue blouse. The shoes were brought from Zhou State, but they weren't too bad. The hairpin on her head was a jade hairpin, and the incense ball and waist ornaments were all there. There was nothing to criticize.

"The prince of your Chuwen country is just this kind of stuff! I asked you to read an article, but he stuttered and made a dozen mistakes in words. Tsk tsk, he really deserves to be called a beggar prince!" A girl laughed. As soon as she finished speaking, many students in the school echoed her.

Wen Jiu lowered his head with a red face. Qiao Shinian looked at his fists clenched tightly together. At this moment, she really wanted to walk in and pick up this arrogant girl and tell her that bullying is wrong!

"It's Princess Yu'an." Obviously, the people outside also wanted to see the excitement inside.

Qiao Shinian turned to look at the little maid beside him and asked, "Princess Yu'an? Is she the emperor's favorite princess?"

Seeing Qiao Shinian talking to her, the little girl was slightly stunned, and then said coldly: "Princess Yu'an is the daughter of the Imperial Concubine. The more favored the Imperial Concubine is by His Majesty, the more favored Princess Yu'an is."

"Oh~" Qiao Shinian nodded.

"What about the teacher who gave the lecture?"

"Master? What are you thinking about? He is a second-rank university scholar!" The little maid was disdainful to talk to Qiao Shinian, and after saying that, she stayed away from her.

Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu lowering his head, feeling very uncomfortable. How could a child be allowed to endure such a thing? This damn university scholar couldn't even handle bullying among students.

As she thought about this, she glanced at the group of people who were talking quietly. They were looking at her and Haruyuki while they were talking.

When Qiao Shinian looked over, those people looked away unnaturally.

Most of the servants in this world are minors. They are not tall, at least they are short in front of Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian is 1.71 meters tall, while these people only look about 1.45 meters tall, with the taller ones being 1.56 meters tall.

So when Qiao Shinian looked at them, the invisible height difference gave them a sense of oppression.

The laughter and ridicule inside did not last long, and were followed by the old voice of the Grand Secretary.

Qiao Shinian turned to look at Chunxue, only to see that Chunxue was still standing there with her head down, as if whatever was happening inside had nothing to do with her.

As Qiao Shinian stared at them from time to time, those who wanted to talk about Wen Jiu gave up the idea.

Sometimes they ignored Qiao Shinian's gaze and continued talking. At this time, Qiao Shinian would walk up to them, with an attitude of "I'll just listen to you quietly". However, her height stood out among the group of people, so facing such pressure, many people no longer had the heart to laugh at her.

But he did not give Qiao Shinian a good look. After all, it was no secret that the hostage of the defeated country had been humiliated by the emperor and the ministers at the banquet yesterday. Everyone knew Zhou State's attitude towards this hostage. As long as he was not dead, anyone could step on him.

The weather in October is a little chilly. From the time he woke up in the morning until the sun came out, Qiao Shinian had lost track of time.

Gradually, more and more female eunuchs were waiting in the underground palace, and just when Qiao Shinian was wondering.

There was a muffled sound of a bronze bell from inside, and the people inside rushed out like wild horses.

Of course, only boys were running, while women took small steps like ladies to get some fresh air.

Qiao Shinian faced the light and looked at Wen Jiu who came out. She walked forward quickly.

Without waiting for her to react, Wen Jiu rushed over and hugged her tightly, his voice choking: "Sister~"

Qiao Shinian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the delicate little princess viciously.

Sensing Qiao Shinian's presence, Princess Yu'an turned around and saw Wen Jiu hugging a palace maid without regard for etiquette, looking extremely aggrieved.

She sneered, "Sure enough, beggars are beggars, so unruly! I don't know where you brought this old village girl from, she is so vulgar."

Wen Jiu hugged Qiao Shinian tightly, choking with grievance, "Sister! Am I useless?"

Qiao Shinian touched Wen Jiu's head with heartache. At this moment, she forgot that she should rely on Wen Jiu's decision. She only knew that this prince who had always shared weal and woe with her was still a child.

A nine-year-old child, a child who left his homeland and went to another country as a hostage, a child who could only be bullied but had no power to fight back.

"No! My Wen Jiu is the best. Wen Jiu is the best child in the world, the bravest and most powerful person!" Qiao Shinian's voice became much louder: "Unlike the flowers in the greenhouse, Wen Jiu is smart, brave and kind! He is tenacious and has the best qualities in the world! He shines like a diamond!"

Qiao Shinian's tone was firm and his voice was gentle and pleasant, which made the noisy crowd outside the school suddenly quiet down for a few seconds, and then a group of people burst into laughter.

Wen Jiu let go of Qiao Shinian, tears in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Yes! I believe you!"

Qiao Shinian patted Wen Jiu and gave him a motherly smile. She squatted down with a gentle look in her eyes: "Everyone is blind and can't see your goodness. It's not that your goodness doesn't exist, it's just that they have eye problems. A true gentleman has the beautiful quality of holding a jade in his arms.

And you are just like that, I have always believed so.

The current adversities and injustices we suffer are but fleeting dreams. One day we will break through the darkness and reach the light.

The most important thing is that we must be strong. The weak always seek a sense of existence from others to prove their strength, while the strong draw strength from themselves. "

After these words were spoken, many people's faces turned dark. They could hear that Qiao Shinian was trying to trick them.

Princess Yu'an threw away the tea and snacks brought by the maid, walked up to Qiao Shinian and slapped him.

"You!" Her palm stopped when it was a few centimeters away from Qiao Shinian's face.

Wen Jiu looked coldly at the princess in front of him, wearing gold and silver, and said in a rather sarcastic tone: "Tsk tsk, it turns out that the Zhou king's favorite princess is of this character. It's really disappointing. Zhou is dignified and civilized with etiquette, but I didn't expect that the princess would be like a shrew and beat up a maid."

After saying that, he looked at Princess Yu'an, whose face was red with anger, with disdain, "Ah~, you little bitch!"

"You! How dare you, a mere hostage, humiliate me like this!" Princess Yu'an had never suffered such an injustice since she was born. She pointed at Wen Jiu and said, "You are just a beggar, not even worthy of carrying my shoes! Despicable!"

"Sorry, I think you have smelly feet. Still carrying shoes? Don't you see what you are talking about? I am a hostage. As for my status as a beggar, go ask your father if it was my father who fooled you. Otherwise, kill me and let the two countries fight again!?

If the people living on the borders of the two countries knew that it was because of you, a princess, that they had to endure the pain of war again, I believe that many people would curse you to death.

You might be assassinated as soon as you leave the palace, and the prince consort you find in the future will have to live with you in the palace! Wow~, what a great love!"

Qiao Shinian's eyebrows kept twitching, and she suddenly felt as if she had been deceived.

No, how come Wen Jiu, who is always steady and a little gloomy, suddenly changed his demeanor?

Princess Yu'an's face was getting darker and darker. She was only one year older than Wen Jiu and had been spoiled since childhood. No one had ever dared to disobey her like this.

Wen Jiu deserves to die!

Thinking of this, Yu'an's face showed indifference that showed contempt for life. Those who disobeyed her could be killed, and her father would take care of the aftermath.
