Although the Qinxue Hall in summer is hidden among the shaded and green trees, it is also very hot. From a distance, the golden glazed tiles are even more brilliant in the dazzling sunlight. The summer cicadas on the trees are chirping tirelessly, making the noble and extraordinary students in the hall drowsy.

The female official who taught today is famous for her talent and beauty in the palace. She teaches princesses her makeup and shapes on a daily basis. She stands on a blue platform paved with gold bricks, polite. Although there are traces of time at the end of her eyes, it is not difficult to see her beautiful face when she was young. Her plump and bright lips recites beautiful poems: "The so-called beauty: flowers are the appearance, birds are the sound, moon is the god, willows are the shape, jade is the bone, ice and snow are the skin, autumn water is the posture, and poetry is the heart..."

"Madam, the emperor follows us princesses to learn how to be a beauty? Could it be that he will be a princess in the future?" A soft voice interrupted the lecture of the female official in class.

The person who spoke was Ning Xin, the seventh princess of Darong Kingdom. She held her cheeks with her hands and lay weak on the desk. Her pair of watery eyes looked at the female official who was giving a lecture in front of her, looking extremely harmless.

A burst of laughter from a woman suddenly sounded in the solemn school, making a noise.

"It's true that the emperor brother looks like a royal girl, but isn't he just a standard beauty?!"

"Is it because I gave birth to the wrong gender, I should have belonged to the emperor."

"If it's the emperor girl, you'll be miserable!"

"Why?"

"If it's the emperor girl, how can you and I still make it to the ranking of beauties in all countries? I'm afraid I'll have to move the seat to the emperor brother."

"The emperor's brother ranks first, it's better than the one in Mingyue Palace!"

“…”

When the Seventh Princess heard the Mingyue Palace, she glanced at her sharp eyes and the few people were silent.

Ning Ci, the only prince of Rong Kingdom in the hall, stood in the corner at the age of seven or eight. He had just seen the beauty. He was wearing a light yellow brocade robe and looked like a piece of good jade. On this hot summer day, he felt a little cold.

Hearing the ridicule of the princesses just now, he felt uneasy in his heart. His eyes like deer swept around the school in confusion, and his eyes fell on the third princess sitting in front of him.

After confirming that the princesses were laughing at themselves, he shrank in the corner with a gloomy face.

The third princess sat at the end and looked back without saying a word.

After a while, he lazily withdrew his gaze that fell on him, and he couldn't stop his heart's complaining: It's such an ineffective person. He is laughed at by the princesses every day and doesn't know how to refute it. When he sees his father, he looks timid and timid, and he looks angry.

No wonder it makes my mother dislike it!

The discussion around was even louder.

"Is there not enough ice today?" Princess Seven squinted her eyes at the maid next to her and asked coldly.

She felt that it was getting hotter today, and her inner clothes seemed to be soaked, sticky and sticky to her body, which was extremely uncomfortable. She really couldn't figure out what these palace ladies who had nothing to do when they had enough food to wear so many clothes in the summer!

"When I go back to Princess Seven, today's ice is as much as it is on weekdays." The maid replied respectfully, her voice trembling, and her eyes passed by the princess' layered clothes. I think this morning class is about etiquette. The female official has always been strict, so Princess Seven's nanny put on her more layers.

The maid could not move the ice cubes by the wall, so she had to stand a little further away from the Seventh Princess to avoid passing the heat from her body.

"Sister Seventh Emperor, you should look at your brother more so that you won't feel hot anymore." The princess next to her spoke with a flattering smile.

"Isn't that true? What an ice beauty!" said the other princess.

"Hehehe..."

“…”

The female official was taught to be unmoved, glanced at the school, and her eyes stopped slightly on the only prince. After the princesses laughed, the female official continued to speak: "You are all my princesses in the Great Rong Kingdom, with golden branches and jade leaves. They enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world as soon as they were born. They have a natural appearance, but their words and postures can be learned after all. No matter when and where, all princesses should remember that 'the mouth is the door to good fortune', no matter where they are, they must be careful in their words and actions, and maintain the honor and dignity that the princess of a great country should have..."

The seventh princess held the textbook and blocked her face tightly, and smacked her tongue dissatisfiedly: "...Is there nothing new to the Rongtong and dignity you deserve...? Every day it is Rongtong and Rongtong!"

Ah, I'm so irritable! Where is the damn Ning Jiu? Why haven't you come yet?

...

The Ninth Princess looked at the Royal Academy not far away, and the voice of the female official teaching the princesses was faintly heard, mixed with the sound of the thick summer cicadas, which seemed blurred and unrecognizable.

The maid Wenzhu behind her was a little anxious. She looked at the sun in the sky and whispered: "Nine Princess, we are much late for lunch. We should be punished by the nanny later, so we should be punished by the nanny later, otherwise..."

The Ninth Princess stood still and looked back at Wenzhu in confusion: "Or? Or how about it?" The sound of the yellow oriole singing sounded, with anxiety and confusion.

Wenzhu lowered her head, took out Sijuan from her body, and gently wiped the slightly tanned cheek of the Ninth Princess: "Or, the princess should not go, what about it?" Why are the princesses tanned again?

The cunning light in the Ninth Princess's eyes suddenly faded.

"Yes, the princess is like this every time, why not go!" Another maid Qiuye spoke. She remembered her previous experiences, and without exception, she was called by some princesses to make things difficult for them for various reasons.

The Ninth Princess blinked her untainted eyes: "...I'm used to it all the time."

"But I heard from others that I was often bullied and would be used to it if I didn't fight back."

The Ninth Princess glanced at Qiuye who was talking and raised her eyebrows: "Don't mention this again in the future."

Wenzhu quickly pulled Qiuye quietly, and Qiuye realized that it was outside, after all, there were ears in the partition wall.

The three of them sighed and walked towards the school with their fate.

Her biological mother has a low status and died early. In this deep palace, no one can live a good life if she is not the one who steps on the high and low.

In order to facilitate the princesses' study, the school is located in the middle of the harem, which is an ancient hall.

Outside the school, there were two rows of small eunuchs wearing uniform clothes. Although they looked down and looked respectfully, they looked a little tired and lazy under the scorching sun.

Princess Ninth took a deep breath and looked up at the plaque in the school. The dazzling light sprinkled from the eaves. Princess Ninth narrowed her eyes slightly. The plaque contained three large characters in full and thick official script: Qinxue Hall.

The three of them stood outside the hall. A simple and elegant sandalwood table was placed above the hall. Sixteen desks were placed in sequence, four horizontal and four vertical. On the table were uniformly placed with pens, ink, paper, ink, ink, ink, and other learning tools, all of which were top-quality. There were plaques hanging on the wall in the middle, exquisite paintings hanging on the walls around them, and neat couplets written on the pillars of the hall, all of which were written by famous masters.

There are only a few desks in the hall that are empty, and the rest are all sitting, dressed in gorgeous or bright or simple women. The oldest is thirteen or fourteen years old, and there is a person and affairs. Next to it is standing one maid in charge, and the rest of the palace maids and servants are waiting outside the hall for the master to send at any time.

The youngest in the hall was only four years old. She sat in her seat seriously, looking at the wet nurse standing next to her from time to time, as if asking her: When can she eat delicious pastries?

The female official was taught to stand in front, and glanced at the ninth princess at the door of the hall with a cold gaze, and said lightly: "The above is the description of the ideal beauty in the hearts of literati from all over the world. Of course, the standards of beauty in each era and everyone's personalities are different. Princesses also need to understand that no matter how the times change, the princesses in our glorious country are all famous in the countries for their beautiful virtues such as beauty, virtuousness, talent, and dignity..."

The Ninth Princess and her personal maid Wen Zhu quietly stepped into the hall. For a moment, the ink fragrance and powder fragrance came towards her with a little bit of incense. The smell made the Ninth Princess look like a loud sneeze.

"Ah Yeh--"

The female official lowered her hands and eyes and stopped talking.

More than a dozen princesses looked at the door, and even the youngest fifteenth princess in the hall widened her eyes like grapes, looking at the ninth sister who was always late with curiosity.

The Ninth Princess was a little red when she was looked at by Xiao Shiwu's lively and spiritual gaze.

She smiled, and her two shallow dimples were revealed, and her cheeks were slightly black and red, like the daughter of a squire, and she did not have the style of a princess in a country.

Several older princesses in the hall immediately understood: Why was she the only Princess Rong in the dynasty who was over ten years old but could not enter the ranking of beauties in the country!

With such a look, it is simply to lower the level of all princesses!

It’s really a waste of my father’s good looks!

The princesses in the hall took their eyes back and did not want to give her a second look. They secretly warned themselves in their hearts: Never walk with her in the future, so as not to misunderstand that the princess of the Great Rong Kingdom were just like this.

The Nine Princess walked quickly towards her seat.

Before she could reach her seat, the seventh princess Ning Xin, sitting in the middle, lazily stretched out her slender and well-organized calves.

The Ninth Princess was speechless: Is this blatantly making herself twitch and tripped to the ground?

Wenzhu paused and frowned and looked down at the leg under her feet: It's really too bullying. Isn't it just because of the identity of the Ninth Princess? It's so annoying! I don't know how the reputation of those "virtuous" and "superior" spread.

The Ninth Princess turned around and walked towards the other passage, and Wenzhu quickly followed.

Passing by the prince standing behind, the Ninth Princess glanced at the jade pendant that fell at his feet. She picked it up quickly, and the hands were cold, delicate and oily, with excellent texture and great value, but it was still a little worse than the rewards in the palace.

The Ninth Princess quietly stuffed it into the textbook held by the prince.

A doubt arose in his heart: Weird, why did the prince always stand to attend class during this period?

besides--

The prince has special teachers, all of whom are first-class teachers and tutors. Although he is not the prince now, the teachings and etiquette are all treated as the prince should have. How could he teach with a group of princesses?

Ning Ci only felt a faint fragrance blowing by, and the soft sleeves seemed to sweep to the tip of his nose, with a little itch. He stared at the jade pendant that appeared in the book and put it into his wide sleeve as if nothing had happened.

He looked up at the expressionless female official on the stage again. Yu Guangzhong saw the Ninth Princess taking her maid to her seat, with her steps light and calm.

He remembered that this princess was ranked ninth. Because her biological mother came from Dingcheng, she was named Princess Dingcheng. As for what her name was, she was not very clear.

Ning Ci smiled lightly, had bright teeth and bright eyes, and had a beautiful appearance: Yes, there are many princesses in the palace, how could he know the title and name of each princess?

"Madam, shouldn't those who are late be punished?" The Seventh Princess took back her legs and whispered as she looked at her fingernails.

The female official dared not offend the Seventh Princess. She was favored by His Majesty - the beloved daughter of Concubine Shu, who was very beautiful and charming. Although she is young now, she can already see her charming appearance from her facial features.

Today, she repeatedly ignored classroom discipline and provoked the prince. It can be seen that Concubine Shu was too doting on her and did not teach her well.

The nanny sighed in her heart: I am afraid that this kind of personality will suffer a loss in the future. Even a noble princess, who can tell the truth about what kind of situation will be after getting married?

The ninth princess Yu Guang glanced back: Did the second princess and the seventh princess have a grudge against him in the previous life? One was actually asking for trouble for himself! The other was torture and wanted his own life!

The Seventh Princess couldn't wait for her reply for a long time, and her heat turned into anger.

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang in the hall: "Are you mute?"

Everyone in the hall immediately looked at the nanny, as if they wanted to see if she was already mute.

The female official took back her mind, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and spoke indifferently, and a voice like clear water slowly came: "Since you are defiant of classroom discipline, you should naturally be punished."

"Oh? That nanny thinks that people who are late every day and disturb everyone's class are usually punished?" The seventh princess threw her words back and her eyes fell on her fingernails.

The female official looked at the Ninth Princess, and her thoughts could not be seen in her clean eyes. The female official felt infinitely frustrated: Don’t blame her for being cruel and unwilling to speak for her, but only blame the ninth Princess’s biological mother for not having a high status.

"I'll punish her...I'll punish her to stand behind and listen to the class."

The seventh princess sneered: "Are you kidding me?" The young age was filled with a violent aura, and the black hair was shining with golden light.
