Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Jiang Lige blushed and replied vaguely, "It's okay. It's a blessing for Lige to have the prince's guidance."

Ning Yunxiao nodded calmly, "This part tells the story of Zhu Jun saving the people of the world. The princess's power in playing the zither should be more important."

"Yes."

Seeing that the good atmosphere was almost destroyed, and Ning Yunxiao was still thin-skinned, Jiang Lige didn't dare to tease Ning Yunxiao anymore. If he made him angry, he would run away.

Therefore, she could only force herself to concentrate on practicing the song so as not to offend the ancestors on the opposite side.

"Zhu Jun Jian" has ten bars. With Ning Yunxiao's guidance, Jiang Lige made great progress. By the last time, he was able to play the song almost perfectly.

Ning Yunxiao was very pleased, "Princess, you have played very well."

Jiang Lige was also very happy. Now that she had practiced the song, she told Ning Yunxiao about her plan and invited him to perform a song at Grand Tutor Gu's birthday banquet.

Ning Yunxiao had heard about Jiang Lige practicing music a long time ago, but he didn't know that she was so thoughtful about it. For a moment, some indescribable emotions spread in his heart.

It seems... there has never been such a person who works hard for his joys and sorrows.

Seeing that Ning Yunxiao didn't say anything, Jiang Lige thought he was unwilling, so he gave Ning Yunxiao enough way out.

"It doesn't matter if the prince is busy. I'm still a little short of the perfection of this piece. I'm far from it..."

"The princess plays very well."

Before Jiang Lige could finish, Ning Yunxiao interrupted her hastily. After praising her, he added, "It is Yunxiao's honor to be able to play with the princess."

Jiang Lige smiled with a smile on her face, "I will definitely practice the piano well and will never embarrass the prince."

Ning Yunxiao also smiled, stood up and straightened his clothes, "The palace gates are about to be locked, I should leave the palace."

"I'll send the prince off."

The words "Princess, please stay" lingered in his throat for a few times, but he finally swallowed them.

In the setting sun, two figures, one tall and one short, strolled under the red walls and flowers. Their shadows, elongated by the sunlight, were reflected obliquely on the ground. A lone sail followed far behind, silently wiping away tears.

"Our prince is finally not alone."

Ning Yunxiao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so his hearing is naturally much better than that of ordinary people. Hearing this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

Yes, he also has someone to walk side by side with.

Everyone was traveling together, but Jiang Lige was the only one who was focused on getting on the road. He turned his head and happened to see Ning Yunxiao's slightly raised mouth corner. He was stunned and was caught red-handed by Ning Yunxiao.

Jiang Lige looked away awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

"I just suddenly remembered the ending of 'Zhu Jun Jian'. Zhu Jun's death is really a pity."

"Zhu Jun realized his ambitions and protected the people of the world. He lived a clean and transparent life. Even if he died before dawn, what was there to fear?"

Jiang Lige didn't argue, but turned his head to ask Ning Yunxiao, "Does the prince also think that the lives of the people of the world are more important than himself?"

Ning Yunxiao was stunned when he heard this, but shook his head.

"I don't know, but I should do my job well. The royal family enjoys the support of the people of the world, so I should put the people of the world first. I am not a sage like Zhu Jun, but I have my own innate responsibilities. It doesn't matter which one is more important, I just do my duty and have a clear conscience."

"The prince is noble and righteous."

The purpose of the test was achieved, and Jiang Lige couldn't help but smile. Ning Yunxiao had such a broad mind to benefit the world, which was worthy of Queen Xu's high hopes for him.

At the same time, it also strengthened Jiang Lige's determination to practice piano well, because it is very important to improve favorability!

However, things did not go as planned. The "Zhu Jun Jian" that Jiang Lige had practiced for a long time was not played at the birthday party.

A few days later, Gu Mansion——

At the main entrance, a man in steward's clothes glanced at the note handed over by Gu Fan and snorted contemptuously.

"You've even scammed us in our Grand Tutor's Mansion? Humph! Take your fake post and get out!"

The post slammed into Gu Fan's face, but he didn't get angry. "Hey, young man, this post is absolutely genuine. Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" The man scoffed. "The Gu family wouldn't invite anyone from Prince Zhao's Mansion! If they're trying to scam someone, they should have done some research."

"But the note was indeed sent by someone from your house."

"Impossible!" the man said firmly, "Everyone knows that Prince Zhao is a jinx. If it weren't for him, our young lady would still be alive and well! He's the one who killed her!"

"fart!"

Gu Fan would never allow others to slander Ning Yunxiao like this. He immediately threw the gift to the ground and grabbed the man by the collar, "Apologize to my prince!"

"Is he really the Crown Prince of Zhao?"

After learning of Ning Yunxiao's identity, the man spoke even less cautiously.

"I really don't understand how Prince Zhao could have the nerve to come to our Gu Mansion. What's going on? Now that the Queen Mother has a child, the Prince has just discovered that his mother's last name is Gu? What a pity! My Gu Mansion does not welcome someone like the Prince who recognizes a thief as his mother! Please don't come again and dirty our grounds!"

"Who the hell are you to speak to my prince like that?"

"My humble origins make me truly worthless, but your prince doesn't even recognize his own mother, so he's even less of a person!"

Gu Fan was so angry that he threw a punch. Today he was going to teach this arrogant lackey of the Gu family a lesson on how to speak.

The fist was about to fall, but someone stopped it. Gu Fan looked and saw that it was Ning Yunxiao!

"Prince!" Gu Fan shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

But Ning Yunxiao slowly withdrew his hand, his face dejected.

"Forget it, let's go."

Gu Fan was really dissatisfied and was about to argue with Ning Yunxiao when he heard the man become more and more demanding.

"Bah! You're worthy of being brought up in Prince Zhao's Mansion, what a coward!"

"what--"

Gu Fan was so angry that he was about to "disobey" Ning Yunxiao's wishes and take action when he saw a heavy red object flying straight towards him and hitting the man right in the face.

Then, it fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Along with the object, the man's two neat front teeth also fell to the ground.

The man was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He covered his face and screamed. Before others could react, a red figure jumped off the carriage, ran over and kicked the man.

"If I don't beat you to a pulp today, you really think I, Zhao Hua, am easy to bully!"

"Maritime Manager!"

The man called Hai Guanshi was kicked hard, and the others finally reacted. After a scream, they hurriedly stopped the woman's attack again.

The Gu family is a century-old family after all. Someone beat up a member of the Gu family in front of the door. Naturally, the guards were not pushovers. In a short while, a group of people gathered around.

Surrounded by people, Ning Yunxiao finally came back to his senses from the shock. He subconsciously took a step forward, stood in front of Jiang Lige, and scolded him coldly.

"This is Princess Nanchu, why don't you put down your weapons immediately!"
