In the morning, there was an Analects and Calligraphy class. The Master’s surname was Jiang and he came from the Hanlin Academy. He was 42 years old this year and was a rather experienced Hanlin official.

After he entered the classroom, all the students, including the two princesses, stood up and bowed to him.

This was Su Xiaoxiao’s first bow as a student. She followed Princess Jingning’s example.

Princess Jingning thought to herself, “She’s even looking at me.’

After Master Jiang gestured for everyone to sit down, they began the official lesson.

Su Xiaoxiao’s special appearance and the fact that she was sitting in the first row made her look especially eye-catching.

Master Jiang glanced at her and realized that her table was empty.

Master Jiang frowned. “Where’s your book?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked around.

There was an Analects book on everyone’s table, except hers.

She said, “No one sent it to me.”

The young ladies chuckled.

Master Jiang frowned and said, “You have to bring the book yourself! Didn’t anyone tell you to bring the book?”

“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

The Master from yesterday did not say anything.

“Nonsense!” Master Jiang did not believe it. He and the other Masters had already reported what they needed to prepare yesterday. Ever since the officials of the Ministry of Political Affairs contacted the Internal Affairs Department and saw that the other daughters had prepared, it was obvious that they had been informed.

To him, it was obvious she had forgotten to bring it. She actually found a terrible excuse for herself.

Master Jiang’s impression of this new student was instantly discounted. “Use mine.” Princess Jingning generously placed her book between the two of them.

If it were anyone else who did this, they would have long been scolded by Master Jiang—if you were capable and united, then go help her dress and eat!

But the other party was a princess.

Master Jiang swallowed his anger. “Let’s start class.”

Thinking of something, he suddenly asked, “Which one is Miss Su?”

Su Xiaoxiao silently raised her chubby hand. “Me.”

Master Jiang was speechless.

Master Jiang was teaching the Liren Chapter of the Analects of Confucius today.

“It’s beautiful to be benevolent. How can you know if you choose not to be benevolent? Those who are not benevolent can’t date for long or be happy. Those who are benevolent are benevolent, and those who know are benevolent. Those who chase benevolence can be good. There’s no evil.” “Which student knows what the next sentence is?” As he spoke, his gaze landed on Princess Hui An’s eager face.

“Princess Hui An, please tell me.” “Huh?”

Princess Hui An was stunned.

She did not understand why her name was suddenly called out.

“Those who chase benevolence can be good. There’s no evil. Next sentence.” Master Jiang thought that she did not hear him clearly and repeated.

Princess Hui An couldn’t answer.

She looked like she was listening attentively so Master Jiang still thought she

Imew a lot…

“Master, I know,” Princess Jingning said.

Master Jiang was stunned. “Uh… Then, Princess Jingning, tell me.”

Under such circumstances, only Princess Jingning had the confidence to answer the questions that Princess Hui An could not answer. How could those daughters dare to slap Princess Hui An’s face?

Princess Jingning stood up and replied unhurriedly, “Wealth and nobility are human desires. If you don’t obtain them with your Tao, you won’t have anywhere to go. Poverty and cheapness are human evils. If you don’t obtain them with your Tao, you won’t have anywhere to go. If a gentleman is benevolent, is he evil to become famous? If a gentleman doesn’t end up eating, he will go against his benevolence. If he makes a mistake, he will make a choice.”

“I’ve never seen a kind person or an evil person. A kind person will not be unkind to an evil person. Is it enough to use my strength to be kind for a day? I’ve never seen a person with insufficient strength.

Master Jiang only asked her to say the next sentence, but she went ahead and said two paragraphs.

It was a slap to Princess Hui An’s face.

Master Jiang did not expect her to memorize so much in one go. He pressed his hands in a daze. “No, not bad. Princess Jingning, please sit.” Princess Hui An was so angry that her face turned green!

The second lesson was calligraphy.

There was no need to bring her own brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. The school had prepared it.

Master Jiang taught them to write in italics. After saying that, he sent out a calligraphy piece for everyone to practice.

He came down to walk around and observe how his students were writing.

Princess Hui An’s handwriting was indescribable.

The corners of Master Jiang’s mouth twitched.

He finally understood that this royalty’s seriousness was all for show. She was actually an idiot.

He came to Princess Jingning’s side again.

Princess Jingning surprised him. Her handwriting was bold and powerful, retaining the beauty of a woman and the heroic spirit of a man.

He nodded to himself, feeling very satisfied.

As for Su Xiaoxiao, he did not pay attention to her at all.

He looked at the others’ words.

These daughters had all been screened. Their comprehensive ability was outstanding, so their calligraphy was naturally not bad.

Among them, Qin Yanran and Leng Zhiruo’s calligraphy was the most outstanding.

Princess Lingxi accompanied the Grand Empress Dowager in the harem for a long time. She only arrived late when the class was almost over.

“The Grand Empress Dowager is a little unwell. Princess Lingxi has been taking care of her for a long time and has delayed class.” Eunuch Tan, who was beside the Grand Empress Dowager, said.

Master Jiang said politely that it was fine and let Princess Lingxi take a seat.

There were two empty seats in the class. One was in the last row, and the other was beside Princess Hui An.

Without thinking, Princess Lingxi sat in the last row.

There was no other reason.

Princess Lingxi and Princess Hui An were love rivals.

What the two of them did not know was that their real love rival was sitting beside Princess Jingning at this moment. Her chubby hand was holding a brush as she scribbled on the calligraphy paper.

Compared to doing business, school time passed too slowly.

Finally, the morning class ended. The palace servants came to bring everyone to the Bright Moon Pavilion for lunch and a rest.

After all, the Qilin Hall was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It was fine if the female students were teaching here, but it was a little impolite to sleep and rest in the hall.

Everyone was assigned to their own rooms.

The princesses could return to their rooms. Princess Hui An did not want to stay for lunch. She returned to Concubine Xian’s Qi Xiang Palace, and Princess

Jingning planned to return to Kunning Palace.

“Your Highness.”

The little palace maid beside Princess Jingning handed her a brocade box.

Princess Jing Ning asked, “What is it?” The little palace maid said, “I’m not sure.”

“Who gave it to you?” Princess Jing Ning asked.

The little palace maid said, “Miss Su asked me to send it to you.”

“Open it,” Princess Jingning said.

“Yes.” The little palace maid opened the brocade box, and a sweet fragrance wafted out.

It was a wife cake and egg yolk pastry.

Was her classmate expressing goodwill?

Could it be… that she wanted to eat with her?

Princess Jing Ning imagined the scene of the little fat girl eating alone and being isolated and mocked by everyone. She was so aggrieved that she could not eat and teared up.

She sighed. “Forget it. Let her eat at my place.”

Hence, Su Xiaoxiao, who had just sat down and was about to taste the food of the palace canteen, was “strongly” taken away by Princess Jingning’s palace servants. Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

What was going on?
