Chapter 144

When the class starts the next day, Xi Ying did not sleep in class.

She will sit anywhere and she usually sits at the corner of the room, which is convenient for sleeping.

Today, she sat next to Long Tianyao’s position at the front.

Long Tianyao is the crown prince, so he has to be serious in class.

Even if he encounters a class he doesn’t want to listen to, he will pretend to be serious.

This is the most basic professional quality as a crown prince.

While he was listening to the class, a ball of paper hit his book.

He looked at Xi Ying next to him.

Xi Ying immediately showed a fake smile and motioned for him to open the paper ball.

Long Tianyao never does this kind of sneaky passing of notes.

According to his identity, there is no need to pass a note at all to say anything.

He originally wanted to throw it away, but he seemed to see Xi Ying using his lips to say the word “Xiangfu”.

Xiangfu? Isn’t it the place where the girl he fancied yesterday?

He opened the ball of paper.

“She’s Chu Qing, the second lady of Xiangfu. Because of her mother’s dystocia and death in Xiangfu, she was severely reprimanded in Xiangfu, and she was struggling.”

A short sentence will clearly describe Chu Qing’s basic information and situation.

After seeing it, Long Tianyao was very satisfied.

The reason he didn’t check Chu Qing’s identity was that as long as his people checked it, it would immediately reach the emperor’s ears.

He had a marriage contract with Chu Ruyu, the eldest lady of Xiangfu, but now he has taken a fancy to someone other than the eldest lady. Maybe the emperor will shorten the marriage period and let him directly marry Chu Ruyu.

Long Tianyao didn’t want to make things worse.

Now that Xi Ying helped him investigate the matter clearly, he didn’t need to get involved.

Long Tianyao tore off a piece of paper and returned a ball of paper to Xi Ying.

However, as soon as this paper ball arrived in Xi Ying’s hands, it was caught by the scholar that was currently teaching in the class.

He saw that Long Tianyao threw the paper to Xi Ying, but he only pointed to Xi Ying’s nose and said, “How can you be so childish in class! You will go out and stand outside!”

Xi Ying unhurriedly opened the paper ball and looked at it. She glanced at the words on it, and then slowly stood up from her position and walked out.

Go out and stand? Does he really think she will obediently do it?

【Host, your tactics of two birds with one stone are amazing. I think that scholar can’t stand you at all and will ask the emperor to kick you out of the study room. 】 Xiao Yiyi gave her a thumbs up.

It turned out that Xi Ying deliberately makes sure the scholar saw when she was throwing the paper ball at Long Tianyao.

The side quest has been opened, and the princes are nearly settled by her.

Rather than going to the class, she might as well think more about how to complete the side tasks.

She could not take the initiative to speak to the emperor.

After all, being close to the sovereign can be as perilous as lying with a tiger1. If the emperor thinks that Xi Ying is looking down on him and despising his imperial decree, it will be no good.

Xi Ying wanted to make sure her plan success but never wanted to get in trouble.

So it can only pass by the scholar’s mouth.

Yesterday, she took all the princes to skip class and made the scholar furious. The scholar can never bear such a “child’s playing in the class” today.

Xi Ying walked out of the study room and wandered around.

In a short while, she slipped to the imperial garden.

She has to admit that the Royal Garden is indeed worthy of the imperial household.

All kinds of rare treasures, exotic plants, rockery, and water are all arranged and matched delicately and beautifully.

Just as a large group of butterflies flew by, Xi Ying suddenly became interested and stretched out her hand to it.

The butterfly wings are colorful, flying around her fingertips.
