If she wasn't so sure that she was in ancient times, she would have almost thought that she was in a modern classroom right in front of her in an ancient restaurant!
What was on the table was neither delicious food nor fine wine.
But——
Book!
roll!
It’s not too much, just about seven or eight books.
There are not many dossiers of all kinds.
Can……
This style of painting is wrong!
She came to a restaurant, not a bookshop or a study!
Seeing Ying Cailan come in, the young man who was studying hard raised his head.
The boy's facial features were very delicate, but his complexion was not very good, and he looked like he was malnourished.
The complexion is yellowish and the body is thin.
But a pair of eyes are as smart as butterflies among flowers!
Her calm and composed demeanor makes her unforgettable!
Seeing Ying Cailan, the young man stood up.
Yan Yunwen made the introduction: "Chu Xiao, this is my eldest sister-in-law, the eldest concubine of Prince Kang's palace."
The young man came out from behind the table, bowed his hands upright and said, "Young boy Chu Xiao, I have met the Crown Princess!"
The breath of books came to my face.
After seeing him, the words "weak scholar" became famous from then on!
Yan Yunwen introduced Ying Cailan again: "Sister-in-law, he is my classmate Chu Xiao."
"Young talent, I've admired you for a long time!" Ying Cailan smiled, walked over and sat down, and said, "You guys should sit down too."
She glanced at the books on the table and was shocked.
"National Policy", "Using Troops", "The Theory of Society"...
It’s not the Four Books and Five Classics!
In front of the real Juan King, Ying Cailan suddenly felt that she was too incompetent!
No wonder, people can say so many Machiavellian things.
It turns out that when I was young, I was already reading books on political theory and the art of war!
No wonder he can be so calm.
Someone else would have been put off and would have arrived an hour and a half later than the agreed time. They had already lost their patience.
But what about others?
Not only was there no impatience, but he even used all the time to gain more knowledge!
And when Yan Yun heard that Chu Xiao was with him, he naturally stayed here and waited.
I was so anxious that I didn't dare to send someone back to the palace to urge him until just now.
She has a high status. Chu Xiao stood aside and did not sit down. He said humbly: "Yunwen said that the Crown Princess wants to meet me, so we will wait here."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Yunwen immediately interjected from the side: "I thought it wouldn't come!"
Ying Cailan looked apologetic and said: "I'm very sorry, something was delayed. It's indeed my fault. I'd like to apologize to you two!"
She stood up and blessed both of them.
Chu Xiao quickly avoided it: "You can't do it!"
"Since the elder sister-in-law happened for a reason, it's not surprising." Yan Yunwen became worried: "Brother Peiyu can't come over. Is the matter serious?"
In front of Chu Xiao, he had nothing to hide, so he always spoke very directly.
So what if it’s not direct?
Chu Xiao is well aware of the movements in the DPRK!
Ying Cailan looked at Chu Xiao and said, "Sit down first and I'll tell you about today's events. It just so happens that when the prince comes later, he will also want to hear Mr. Chu's views."
The two teenagers sat down beside each other, naturally far away from Ying Cailan.
After sitting down, Ying Cailan briefly explained what happened in the palace: "With the help of His Royal Highness the eldest prince who used me as a blackmail, Princess Yongling successfully deceived the prince into Yongning Palace in an attempt to do something to him. Unruly."
"The Crown Prince knew something was wrong, so he tied Ye Yuqi there and hid in Zhiyuan Hall."
"Fortunately, we discovered it early and took him back to the palace in time."
"..." Yan Yunwen looked confused: "Brother Peiyu is sick?"
He was still young, and although he knew about the defense between men and women, he didn't quite understand what was going on after hearing this vague statement.
But Chu Xiao, who was already fourteen years old, understood it immediately: "I have long heard that the noble girls in the imperial capital have as many people who fall in love with Prince Kang as the crucian carp crossing the river. It is expected that such a thing will happen." middle."
He grasped the key point: "The eldest prince and the prince have a quarrel, and the little princess goes to the eldest prince for help. This is going to start a fight between the two princes' palaces and the eldest prince's palace!"
Ying Cailan admired him from the bottom of his heart: "Good advice, Mr. Chu!"
He thought so far about a simple thing!
sharp!
There was no trace of pride on Chu Xiao's delicate face. Instead, she frowned and said, "But I don't know what the prince's attitude is now?"
Ying Cailan responded: "Everything can be done once or twice, but not repeated."
"It should be like this." Chu Xiao said with a sudden look on his face: "If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be another storm in the Imperial Capital."
Yan Yunwen: "..."
He admits that he is not an idiot. Compared with many children of the same age, he is already outstanding.
But why didn't he understand the conversation between his parents-in-law and Chu Xiao?
Ying Cailan looked at Chu Xiao and asked, "Since Mr. Chu is studying at Jinshan Academy, he will naturally take part in the scientific examination and serve the court in the future?"
In response to this, Chu Xiao responded very restrainedly: "If you can serve the imperial court, that would be the best. If you can't, don't regret it. I came to the Imperial Capital just to learn!"
Ying Cailan can only say: I can believe it, but I can’t believe it completely!
He didn't tell lies, but that wasn't all he said.
But she would not get to the bottom of it, but instead brought the topic to the direction Yan Yunwen wanted: "I heard from our family that Mr. Chu is ill. It's quite a long way from the academy. The road is bumpy, I don't know what's going on. Discomfort?"
Jinshan Academy is within the imperial capital, but not in the city.
After leaving the east city gate and heading to the suburbs, there is still thirty miles to go.
Afraid that Chu Xiao would not come, Yan Yunwen personally went to pick up Chu Xiao in a carriage early this morning.
It was precisely because of the long journey that Chu Xiao took all these books with him and did not forget to study hard in the carriage.
"No, thank you Princess for your concern." Chu Xiao glanced at Yan Yunwen, slightly complaining.
However, the look in his eyes was more helpless than resentful.
Thinking about it, he also knew that Yan Yunwen was sincerely good to him, so he couldn't hate him.
It seems that these two classmates are really good friends!
Ying Cailan raised her eyebrows and said, "I wonder if Mr. Chu knows that this concubine has opened a medicine shop and she also has medical skills!"
Chu Xiao replied: "Young man has heard it."
Yan Yunwen immediately said: "I told Chu Xiao that my elder sister-in-law has great medical skills. Even the highly respected Dr. Liu admires her."
He turned to look at Chu Xiao and said, "Aren't you feeling unwell these past two days? You're already here anyway, so why not just take a look."
Afraid of Chu Xiao's rejection, he hurriedly added: "My parents and sister-in-law will definitely not ask for the medical fee. I will pay for the medicine!"
For him, the fourth son of Prince Kang's palace, who is the direct grandson of the Queen Mother, that small amount of money is really slipping out of his fingers.
Chu Xiao was about to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Ying Cailan suddenly stood up and walked over to sit next to him!
"Give me your hand, and I'll check your pulse and check your condition, okay?"
