Crown Jewels

Chapter 16 Gossip in the Corner
That bright face suddenly came alive in his memory.

Outside the academy, a pearl-like woman asked him calmly, "Song Yan, do we know each other?"

That naturally calm tone really made him grit his teeth.

Song Yan rolled his eyes, snorted softly, and couldn't help but crushed on his toes.

After his face regained a bit of joy, Song Yan bent down calmly.

When he stood up again, there was a warm touch between his fingers...

The life of the academy is regular and fulfilling. During the day, he attends classes to prepare for exams, and in the evening, Chuang Tzu goes to practice martial arts with Vice-Lieutenant Yang.

Song Yan and Fu Sinian, because of Shen Lanqing's focus, both successfully passed the college's class exam.

What pleased Song Yan the most was that he slept exceptionally well at night in recent days.

Night without dreams!

This reassured him a lot.

Not to mention, even the tiredness in his brows and eyes has dissipated a lot, and he looks more energetic.

On this day, Song Yan and Fu Sinian came back from Zhuangzi as usual.

Just as the two were about to climb over the wall, they suddenly heard two female voices on the other side of the wall, their tones seemed to be complaining angrily.

The two quickly fell silent.

They were just about to bend down and climb over the other wall, but Song Yan stopped because of the familiar name.

Seeing this, Fu Sinian simply pulled Song Yan to the corner.

The two leaned against the wall, separated by a bunch of high walls, and listened to their words.

One of the female voices was angry, accompanied by the sound of dissatisfied stomping.

"Sister Zuo Yao, I really can't see Gu Baozhu being so shameless."

"In broad daylight, shamelessly wearing tight clothes and showing off on the racetrack, I wish all the male scholars in our ancient times would come and see her!"

After finishing speaking, I was a little unwilling to add:

"Isn't it just being a princess!"

"Hmph! In my opinion, she has such a charming appearance, she is not as good-looking as you and me, let alone compared with Guanghua County Lord."

Hearing this, Fu Sinian couldn't help frowning,
Subconsciously glanced at Song Yan next to him, and saw a flash of cold light burst out from his eyes.

Even in a dynasty like the Great Yan Kingdom, it is really too much to slander a woman's reputation like this.

What's more, this whining tone is really sour and jealous.

Don't look, that face must be very distorted at this moment.

At this time, the other person called Sister Zuo Yao spoke with a gentle tone, but the words did not make Song and Fu feel kind.

"Sister Jiang Rou calmed down. Princess Nanping was born to be good-looking. It's normal to rely on her appearance to find ways to attract the eyes of those nerds."

"I see that my sister's birth is not bad, and she is the only daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Why don't you think carefully about the election ceremony?"

Jiang Rou sighed, although she was still uneasy, but her attention was also attracted.

"Sister thinks I don't want to?"

"Don't talk about me, my sister is also the daughter of the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Is it possible that she is willing to be second to others? But why don't you know what the standard is?"

Zuo Yao just smiled at the first half of her sentence, and bit her ear at Jiang Rou when she heard the second half of her sentence.

"I've heard quite a lot about it. What a treat! Besides academic grades, there is another very important point."

"It is to choose people with elegant appearance to receive the guests in the event!"

Jiang Rou's eyes flashed when she heard the words, and her mind became active.

Not to mention other things, just say that if he becomes Dian Ye, wouldn't the whole academy admit that he is elegant in speech and appearance?
With the academy's endorsement, once this reputation spreads in the circle of noble girls in the capital...

What is she worried about marrying in the future?

I'm afraid it's possible to go to Gaomen.

Finally, when the rustling sound from behind the wall subsided, Song and Fu waited for a while, and then climbed up to the top of the wall with their feet, watching the two figures completely disappear.

"Oh—I said, why are they so familiar? Aren't they just the two little followers next to the Guanghua County Lord!"

Fu Sinian finally came to his senses. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Song Yan's expressionless expression, and he looked extremely troubled.

After waiting patiently for a long while, Fu Sinian finally waited for Song Yan to hold back a sentence.

"I said, they..."

"Where did the confidence come from?"

How could they have the confidence to feel that the two of them had a pretty good life, worthy of the words "speaking and elegant"?

He was taken aback for a moment, but Fu Sinian couldn't hold back when he realized it, and burst out laughing.

Don't look at Song Yan's usual way of advancing and retreating, if he gets bad, he really doesn't have the ability to hurt others.

After a while, Fu Sinian breathed a sigh of relief.

"The one named Jiang Rou is the daughter of the Minister of War, isn't this Jiang Shan's younger sister?"

Fu Sinian couldn't hold back his clicks of tut, and exclaimed slightly exaggeratedly:
"This is really... a nest of snakes and rats!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up, there are still tasks today."

Saying that, Fu Sinian unceremoniously stuffed the paper bag into Song Yan's arms, and said righteously:

"Today, you will also contribute, and you will help me deliver this hawthorn candy to Miss Shen and Princess Nanping."

"One person, one share, go there earlier, so as to avoid others, so as not to cause disputes."

When Song Yan heard Gu Baozhu, he felt something hot in his bosom, impatiently saying:

"You find the key points of other people's paintings, you should thank the natural one!"

"Besides, it's fine to express my gratitude to Miss Shen. What can I do for Gu Baozhu? I really think people are rare."

Fu Sinian snorted coldly, this time he didn't listen to Song Yan's persuasion, and pushed the paper bag over forcefully, and said as a matter of course:
"Chief Qi Zhai called me to do something, so of course you have to go this time!"

"Also, don't be heartless!"

"Although I am shameless and Miss Shen is kind-hearted, Princess Nanping also said a lot of good things for us, otherwise you really think it will be so smooth?"

"Oh, I'm going to find Qi Yuan first, don't whine about it, if you miss the time, you will be waiting to be caused by others."

Seeing Song Yan walk away reluctantly, Fu Sinian smiled triumphantly.

I saw him gently lift it from the wide sleeves of the toga, and another paper-wrapped pastry fell into his hands.

Afterwards, he walked towards the shade of the library in high spirits.

The weather was still early at this time, and Song Yan walked quietly on the corridor of Zhishizhai.

As soon as he stepped into the teaching room, he suddenly found a female student sitting on the table in the Western Regions. After looking closely, it turned out to be Gu Baozhu.

Sensing the movement at the door, Gu Baozhu raised her eyes subconsciously, and the light arcs at the end of her eyes outlined her bright laziness.

After seeing Song Yan at the door clearly, Gu Baozhu was slightly taken aback.

The two looked at each other, Gu Baozhu nodded politely at him, and then continued to study Chinese medicine books as if no one else was there.

The moment they looked at each other, Song Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't hold back the fingers that were pulling the paper-wrapped hemp rope, and was crushed hard by him.

Under the sun, Song Yan could clearly see the slight blush on Gu Baozhu's cheeks, which showed the vitality after the exercise, and he should have rushed back from that session to attend class.

His eyes swept down, but this time he was wearing a neat skirt.
