Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 183 The Princess's Responsibility

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the atmosphere in the court was solemn. After the morning court session ended, Li Ziyan walked out of the palace as usual, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Zhuoyuan again. The two smiled at each other, as if they were both surprised by this coincidence.

As he walked, Qin Zhuoyuan couldn't help but stop and carefully look at Li Ziyan in front of him. His eyes revealed a kind of relief and enlightenment, as if he already had the answer in his heart. It turned out that after observing for a period of time, Qin Zhuoyuan finally understood why Zhao Junning was in love with this dandy boy - Li Ziyan. On the surface, he looked unruly and notorious, but in fact he was a real gentleman.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Zhuoyuan said softly to Li Ziyan, "Lord Li, the journey to Jingzhou is long, I hope we can take care of each other." His words revealed their trust and expectations for each other.

However, Li Ziyan smiled slightly and responded: "Lord Qin, you are too polite. You have many guards protecting you, so why do you need me to take care of you? Besides, it will take two months to arrive in Jingzhou. There are many variables in the meantime, and no one can predict what will happen." His tone was relaxed, as if he did not take this long journey too seriously.

The shop was bustling with people, and the guests sat together, chatting. The topic unconsciously turned to Mr. Qin's children: "I heard that Mr. Qin's two children are very promising and have become officials!"

Zhao Junning listened to their discussion silently, but her eyes turned to Yuan Xinghui beside her. As if she noticed her gaze, Yuan Xinghui smiled and asked softly, "What's wrong? Don't you know about this?"

Zhao Junning shook her head and sighed, "Alas, I've been so busy lately that I haven't paid attention to many things. But I did hear about Zhuo Xi being chosen as the ninth princess's tutor.

Originally, the eldest princess wanted Ning Yi to do this job, but you know Ning Yi's personality, which is similar to mine, and she is not suitable for teaching others. So in the end, Zhuo Xi was chosen. Speaking of which, His Majesty's original idea was to let the three of us teach the Ninth Princess different skills:

One is responsible for teaching the way to protect oneself, one is responsible for teaching etiquette and behavior, and the other is responsible for teaching literary knowledge. Unfortunately, I have no good feelings towards the Ninth Princess at all. When the news first came out, my father rejected it for me. As for you..."

At this point, Yuan Xinghui paused for a moment, a trace of regret in her eyes, "You were stopped by the Queen. She had troubled you before, so she was naturally worried that you would make things difficult for her precious daughter.

As for Ning Yi, she took the initiative to decline the job. As a result, the capable Jin Anyuan is still in Liangzhou and has not returned yet, and the daughter of Wenyuan Zheng's family is not interested in interfering in royal affairs. Now only Zhuo Xi is qualified for this position. "

Zhao Junning nodded repeatedly to show her agreement. Qin Zhuoxi and they all studied in the same academy. Although Qin Zhuoxi might be slightly inferior in terms of talent and learning, she was Qin Zhuoyuan's sister after all, so she must have some ability.

Zhao Junning couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed Zhuo Xi's ability! She has been very smart and quick-witted since she was a child. In addition, she has a steady personality, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to teach the Ninth Princess."

Yuan Xinghui nodded repeatedly to show her approval: "Yes, but in this case, Zhuoxi is really wronged. The ninth princess has such a bad temper, maybe Zhuoxi will suffer!

But then again, the Ninth Princess is obviously one month older than me, and there are so many learned people in the palace, why does she have to look for a teacher outside the palace?" At this point, Yuan Xinghui frowned slightly, as if she was full of doubts about the reason.

Zhao Junning sat quietly in the house, staring at the bustling crowd outside the window, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the memories of her previous life. At that time, she was a princess of a country, shouldering the mission of serving the country, but she did something absurd because of a momentary impulse. Now thinking back, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Xiao Yufu was in her prime, and it was time for her to prepare for marriage. The older ladies in the palace naturally had their own thoughts, after all, time was not forgiving! As the apple of the emperor's eye, Xiao Yufu was very much loved, and finding a partner of similar age could not only add fun to her life, but also provide each other with companionship and relief.

At this moment, Yuan Xinghui was concentrating on flipping through the account book, and suddenly realized that Zhao Junning had not responded to what she said for a long time. She stopped what she was doing, and seemed to have the same idea as Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning couldn't help but sigh. Yes, she was once a princess of a country. But if she thought about it carefully, she also fulfilled her responsibilities as a princess in her previous life. When she traveled around the world, she negotiated with foreign tribes so that there was no dispute in the Yihan, Beimeng and Bian countries. But she also had her own selfish motives.

Now it seems that she really does not have the courage that Xiao Yufu has now.
