Houfu Key Class

The reason for this voice was immediately clear to them after they entered.

After the prince stood up for them, the eyes of the nobles in the room who were dressed up in fancy clothes all fell on Xu Wan and the others, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

After knowing that Zong Jincheng was with the prince, the smile on the face of the crown princess was a little bit hard to hold.

She had been married into the East Palace without any children. Although the fact was that the prince was sick and weak and could not get pregnant after five years of sex, there were always people who liked to put the blame on the woman, saying that she could not have children, but the prince refused to marry a concubine for her.

At the moment, the prince showed that he liked children very much, and the eyes of others looking at the crown princess were more complicated. It was obvious that they must be laughing at her for not being able to have children in private.

"Madam Zong, come and sit next to me."

The crown princess waved at her with a warm smile, ending Xu Wan's restless mood.

——Started to stand restlessly.

Xu Wan was complaining in her heart. Whether the little devil was intentional or not, he was causing trouble for her. This was the noble Crown Princess. How could she afford to offend him!

Looking at the faces of these people who were watching the joke, it was estimated that she would be embarrassed by the Crown Princess in a while.

Damn it!

Xu Wan took a deep breath, stepped forward and saluted. The Crown Princess arranged her to sit next to her and began to interrogate her gently.

The two smiling tiger women went back and forth, and they actually chatted speculatively.

The Crown Princess had no ill will towards Xu Wan. After all, Xu Wan had just married into the Marquis's Mansion. Even if the Crown Prince had any relationship with Zong Jincheng, she, the new bride, might not know much about the inside story.

"I think your Highness likes your son Jincheng very much. If you have time, come to the East Palace often. Don't just let him stay at home to study. It's easy for a child of this age to be suffocated."

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. Jincheng has a bad temper. I'm afraid that he will bother your Highness and your Majesty in the palace. I will teach him well for a while and then send him to the palace."

The Crown Princess smiled and covered her mouth: "Okay, all up to you. I think you are a very responsible stepmother, and you care more than many biological mothers."

Xu Wan complained in her heart: Of course, biological mothers rely on maternal love to raise children, while she relies on the 100 million pie to raise children.

100 million!

Silver!

Even Confucius would have to force Zong Jincheng to study for eight hours a day!

"My mother-in-law entrusted me with this, and I can't let her down."

The Crown Princess said, "Your mother-in-law knows how to judge people. Look at how well you taught Jincheng. I just learned that he was outspoken at the door and scolded the playboy of the Zhai family so badly that he couldn't say anything. He was quick to react and had a very upright character. You can talk about those children. I heard that there is a ranking of the four playboys. All the children on the list are ten-year-old children. They are more difficult to manage than adults when they are naughty, but not as worry-free as your Jincheng."

Xu Wan: "..."

For the first time in her life, she felt so hard to describe. The Crown Princess praised Jincheng with good intentions, but it seemed like she hit the horse's hoof.

Xu Wan said weakly, "That... Jincheng... seems to be on this list..."

She didn't dare to hide this matter, otherwise it would be exposed to the Crown Princess and offend her even more.

"Ah?" The Crown Princess' smile froze on her face. "Is there something wrong with this list? Will the other three children in it also be wronged?"

Xu Wan coughed and said truthfully: "You have also seen another one."

"?"

"It's Zhai Yao."

Crown Princess: "…………"

The world view was suddenly overturned.

The Crown Princess' birthday was not a big one. The emperor and the queen did not come. Only the women of each family came.

Xu Wan was enjoying the food at the table. Suddenly, Cuizhi pushed her down and whispered in her ear: "Madam, look at the wife of the Duke of Jin."

Xu Wan looked over as she prompted and saw a familiar figure. Her younger sister Xu Lian'er was sitting next to the wife of the Duke of Jin and talking and laughing.

This is really... who is playing with who.

However, the wife of the Duke of Jin is about the same age as her old lady. Xu Lian'er is so flattering to her. Does she want to marry into the Duke of Jin's mansion?

She asked Cuizhi, "Does the Duke of Jin have an unmarried son?"

Cuizhi nodded and said, "The eldest son, who just came of age this year, has already become a fourth-rank official at a young age. He has good character and ability. Many noble ladies want to marry into the Duke of Jin's mansion."

Xu Wan said, "It sounds like he is a good young talent. With my father's status as the Minister of Justice, he is qualified for the Duke of Jin's mansion. My stepmother's family is well chosen."

It is much better than the list she married at that time.

Cuizhi couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy. She leaned down and whispered a heavy news: "This eldest son has a little lover outside, and he was once the top player in Yihong Courtyard."

Xu Wan: "!"

"You know all this?" Xu Wan was shocked.

In the Great Chu State, where the family hierarchy is strict, it is already a great scandal for a man to have a mistress before getting married; if the mistress is a prostitute, it is even uglier.

It is a great humiliation for the noble lady and her mother's family that the wife and the prostitute call each other sisters.

Cuizhi whispered, "It was Cuiliu who accidentally touched it while doing business outside. The old lady forbade us to talk nonsense. Almost no one in the capital knows about this."

Xu Wan swallowed her saliva and thought it was really complicated.

A young talent who seems to be popular on the surface may also be a huge pit.

Xu Lian'er and her daughter abused the original owner, and now all their lack of virtue has been retributed.

After knowing this news, looking at Xu Lian'er's pretentious face, I just feel pity.

Forget it, let her fight with the wife of Duke Jin.

After the banquet, Zong Jincheng held the Duan inkstone given by the prince and smiled happily all the way.

Xu Wan held her forehead with a headache. No one knew that on the surface, her family had climbed up the high branch of the Eastern Palace, but in fact, her plan was disrupted by the sudden move of the prince.

Although Zhai Yao was naughty, he studied very well. Xu Wan originally wanted to use the deepening of the conflict between the two to stimulate the little devil to continue studying, but who knew that this kid was directly sent to the slums.

Headache...

That night, Xu Wan tossed and turned, thinking of many ways to train the little devil to become a top student after studying hard, but she was stuck on how to make him study hard. It seemed like a gap here that she couldn't cross.

The next morning, Baili Xi saw her listless appearance and asked with a smile: "Jincheng's learning progress has been so smooth recently, why does Madam look more worried?"

Xu Wan looked at this respected teacher, thinking that it was amazing that he could cultivate a child like Zong Zhao, but the little devil, this decadent egg, didn't want to learn, and she couldn't force him to learn.

"To be honest, Master, Jincheng's efforts at this stage are an agreement with me. He will complete this agreement in a few days. I am worried that he will continue to give up."

"So that's why I was wondering why he suddenly had such a strong enthusiasm for learning." Baili Xi said, "But I found that he likes writing very much. Although his handwriting is not so beautiful, it is only a matter of time before he can get on the right path if he keeps practicing with this enthusiasm."

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and something seemed to flash through her mind.
