Chapter 1697 Everyone Enters the Palace Together

Tang Haojing looked at Shi Xiangjun, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xiangjun quickly shook her head, knowing that she had misunderstood, but whether it was a misunderstanding or not had nothing to do with her.

"You ladies are talented and gentle, but I am just..."

"You are the favorite student of the Grand Master, and you are from the same school as me. If you think you are not as good as them, then I am afraid that I, who am from the same school as you, am..."

Tang Haojing looked at the frightened Shi Xiangjun, "The Grand Tutor always praises you, letting those noble ladies from the outer court see the demeanor of our women from the Great Li Dynasty. Xiangjun, you always say that studying should be for the people's livelihood, for the common people, and for the service of the Li Dynasty. Isn't this... right?"

"I……"

"That Princess Taye is well-versed in the books of the Li Dynasty and is extremely talented. She thinks she is more famous than all the noble ladies in the capital. Lord Xiang, although the two countries have diplomatic relations, war is not only about military affairs, but also about culture."

"In recent years, our Li Dynasty has been committed to enabling women to give full play to their abilities. You are a role model among them, and it is your responsibility to do so."

After hearing what he said, Shi Xiangjun knew that she had no reason to refuse.

"The people's daughter follows the decree."

Although... it was different from what she thought, but as Tang Haojing said, it was indeed necessary to let the foreign races know the power of a great country.

Tang Haojing was relieved to see that she finally did not refuse.

This girl is really different from other girls.

Other girls fought hard for this opportunity to show their faces, but he gave it to her, but she didn't want it.

Ten days later, Princess Ta of Beimo also came to the capital, and Tang Haozhou was ordered to greet her.

Tang Haozhou looked at Princess Taye, who was dressed as a woman, and felt a little awkward. Even though his royal brother had said so, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

This isn't a cousin from the princess's family. He isn't prejudiced against Beimo, but he has always wanted to marry a noble lady from the capital.

Taye saw Tang Haozhou and was visibly happy. "Do you still recognize me?"

Tang Haozhou nodded, "Yes, I heard it from my brother."

Ta also pouted, a little unhappy, "Why is he so annoying? I wanted to tell you myself that I wanted to give you a surprise. I came here for you this time."

Tang Haozhou: “…”

"You...are all girls in Beimo like this?"

"What's wrong with us?" Taye looked confused.

"Is it so straightforward?"

"I forgot. Your Li Dynasty claims to be a country of etiquette and likes to be subtle, but all the girls in our Beimo are like this. It's not shameful to like someone." Taye said with a smile.

Tang Haozhou's ears turned red, and at this moment he looked like a little girl who had been teased.

Ta also laughed, "How can a grown man like you be more shy than a girl? Your brother asked you to pick me up, which means he supports our relationship. I came here this time to marry you."

"Actually... not really. I am just responsible for entertaining the princess."

"Same idea." Taye said, "Don't worry, you won't lose out if you marry me. I am good at both literature and martial arts. I can drink tea and play the piano with you, and I can also accompany you in horse racing and archery."

"Princess, this matter... this matter is too early to talk about. I will take you back to the palace first."

"Go to the palace? I still want to live with my aunt."

Her aunt is naturally Atushu.

"The Emperor has arranged for you to live in the palace, and there are several young ladies from ministers' families to accompany you. If you want to see Princess Mingyue, you can go anytime."

"Well, the guest follows the host's wishes. I will listen to you. What about you? Do you live in the palace too?"

Tang Haozhou was glad that he didn't live in the palace. "I live in the palace."

"Then I also want to live in the palace." "That's not appropriate!" Tang Haozhou had never seen such a passionate woman.

The older maid who was accompanying Taye also advised her in a low voice. Tang Haozhou didn't understand what she said, but the general idea was that she should follow the rules.

"Well, but the emperor has promised that you must accompany me. You cannot not accompany me."

Tang Haozhou felt helpless.

Ta also looked at the ladies, including Shi Xiangjun, "You are all here to accompany me? What should I call you?"

"Your servant Su Miaoren."

"Your servant Han Jiayin."

"Your servant Wen Yuru."

Taye's eyes fell on Shi Xiangjun, waiting for her to speak.

"Mrs. Shi Xiangjun."

"You are different from them?"

"This Miss Shi is the Taifu's student. She is both talented and virtuous." Tang Haozhou was afraid that Princess Taye would look down on Shi Xiangjun, so he hurriedly introduced her to her.

Ta also glanced at Shi Xiangjun, "So, you are different."

Without waiting for Shi Xiangjun to answer, she turned to look at Tang Haozhou and said, "Let's go. I still have to go see your emperor."

Tang Haozhou glanced at Shi Xiangjun and wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate.

Four girls were in two cars.

Shi Xiangjun and Han Jiayin, whom she met for the first time, rode in a carriage.

Han Jiayin took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Miss Shi."

Shi Xiangjun quickly looked over and said, "Miss Han, just call me Xiangjun."

They will have to study together for a long time in the future, and Shi Xiangjun doesn't want to be too distant.

Unexpectedly, Han Jiayin laughed, "You asked me to call you Xiang Jun, and you call me Miss Han, is this fair?"

Shi Xiangjun smiled shyly, "Good news."

"That's right. Do you know why we were chosen to accompany the princess this time?"

Shi Xiangjun shook her head, "I don't know."

"I heard from my mother that we have to learn the culture of the Li Dynasty from the princess, and also learn the rules of the palace, because we will enter the palace in the future."

Shi Xiangjun was stunned for a moment, "No way?"

"Why not? You should have been recommended by the Grand Tutor. Naturally, you are also the Grand Tutor's favorite student with a good reputation. The three of us were carefully selected. The Emperor is not young anymore, but there is not even one empress in the palace. Is this reasonable?"

Shi Xiangjun forced a smile, she didn't know whether what Han Jiayin said was true.

"Anyway, after we enter the palace, we will be sisters and we must take care of each other. It is said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. I am only telling you that the emperor is actually a good person, but so many women are fighting for a man. I don't want to compete for favor anyway. As long as I don't make mistakes and can support my father, that's enough."

Shi Xiangjun didn't expect that she was such a cheerful person and actually told her everything.

"Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth. If you want to fight for it, I can help you a little, but don't involve me in life-threatening matters. If you don't want to fight for it, we can live together. It would be best if you could give birth to a child so that I can help you raise it and we can both have hope."

"Jiayin, it may not be like that, right?" Shi Xiangjun asked.

"No matter, there's nothing bad in the palace anyway. I don't harm others, and I don't favor anyone, so no one should come to harm me. I just want to eat, drink and have fun. So Xiangjun, I know you're a good person and don't covet wealth, so I trust you."

Shi Xiangjun wanted to say, let’s just say goodbye.
