The academy is very quiet, avoiding the noisy street market, and the next yard is also vacant and uninhabited.

Only one of the four maids, Xiaoman, left behind, and the others were sent back to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

Bai Yan doesn't like to talk, Xiaoman is weak, either leaning on the corridor column to read books, or planting flowers and grass, and it is extremely quiet when staying in the academy.

In addition, Han Shi ran to find the third prince all day long, and the only voice that brought popularity was gone.

The maid sat in the wide yard basking in the sun while choosing vegetables. Xiaoman leaned against the pillars and buried half of her body in the shadow.

"Miss, can this academy be successful? Why didn't I go to find a teacher with Miss Bai today?"

Xiaoman was warmed by the sun, and he felt that his bones were crispy. He didn't want to move at all. His voice was a little soft and lazy: "Today, Doctor Xu wanted to treat me, so he won't go out."

"Why is it so bad that I'm young? It's such a pity. The girl's illness was brought out from her womb?"

"No, I took the wrong thing before and broke my body medicine."

Her voice became less and less.

"Can that girl be able to do this girl?

I can't read, and I can still benefit from it in the future."

I heard her snorting softly, as if she had responded, but Guo'er didn't make any more noise.

The maid looked up and realized that she had fallen asleep.

Xiaoman leaned against the corridor column, lowered his head, his hair was whispered by the breeze, and he gently rubbed his cheeks.

Bai Yan leaned over and was about to wake Xiaoman up, but suddenly remembered something, and told the maid to walk out of the yard.

Soon, a man walked in.

The maid was so shocked that all the vegetables in her hands fell off, and she opened her eyes wide and looked at the prince who suddenly appeared.

Zhou Gongyu raised his finger and pressed it against his lips, shook his head at her, and signaled not to speak.

He slowly walked to Xiaoman who was sleeping and looked at her with his eyes hanging down. It seemed that there were clouds surging in his eyes, with the bitter wind and rain.

Sitting beside Xiaoman, he was still silent.

Apart from the sound of the wind blowing flowers and leaves, only her calm breathing was just around the corner.

The breeze blew, and the green robe and the jade-colored skirt overlapped, separated and then overlapped.

Xiaoman's hand unconsciously fell to his side, revealing a section of his neck when he lowered his head, which was white and fragile, as if the flower stem was broken.

Zhou Gongyu listened to her breathing and remembered that during the days she had been in the prime minister's house, she often talked to herself and fell asleep. She only had a little weight on his shoulder, and she was still a small ball when she picked her up.

Occasionally, he would lean against her and close his eyes and take a nap because he was too tired.

Now when I think about it, I feel very far away.

At some point, the little girl beside her who would hold him and shout "Brother Gongyu" was already so far away from him.

Maybe when he said "obedient", the two of them separated a natural barrier.

Xiaoman's fingers are slender, and his nails are slightly powdery, which exudes a shell-like luster under the light.

Zhou Gong's palm approached her five fingers, but stopped at a distance of slight distance.

I wanted to touch her, but I was afraid of waking her up, and I didn't want to see alienation and disgust in her eyes.

It turns out that liking someone is not only joy, but also uneasiness and bitterness.

If he had realized his affection earlier at that time and had never ruined her sincerity, would he still be the same as before?

During these days, the court had a lot of trouble in the court because of the reduction of power and taxes and the support of poor children, and even the father scolded him several times.

Many times he stood outside the gate of the academy, looking at the vines growing on the branches, thinking that she was sitting not far from him, and a heart covered with clouds seemed to see the light of the sky, and the deep resentment and chill were all dispelled.

Before he came, he saw the jade hairpin on Ling Yang's head with some resentment, but he looked at her quietly, but his heart gradually calmed down.

If you have any complaints, it’s just that he blames himself for his own fault.

She almost killed her, and almost never saw her again.

As long as Xiaoman is still alive, he will always keep her in the future and will never let her down again.

After waiting for a long time, Xiaoman leaned on the head of the corridor column and lit it, almost waking up.

Zhou Gongyu's heart was hung tightly, staring at her without moving, and she couldn't help but hold her breath.

Unexpectedly, she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and her body slid down softly.

Zhou Gongyu quickly stretched out her hand and she lay down in his arms, her chin resting on his shoulders, and her breathing was still calm.

The maid was stunned and stared at the two of them in a daze.

Zhou Gongyu almost half-kneeled and hugged Xiaoman. When the long-lost Wen Ruan fell into his arms again, he even lost his mind for a moment and did not dare to force her arms even if he wrapped around her arms.

It was not until I realized that she was really asleep that I slowly breathed a sigh of relief. My cheeks were pressed against my cold hair and I smelled the fragrance of medicine on her body.

Bai Yan dared not disturb her, and no one dared to speak out.

Seeing the prince who was so arrogant in the past so lowly, almost cautiously holding his sweetheart, who dared to destroy the moment would be seeking death?

She has been working for the prince for a long time, knowing that his gentleness is only on the surface, he is decisive in his inner life, and he will never be ruthless in scheming people, and he will not have any weaknesses.

But such a heartless and cold person has a rare warmth in front of this innocent sick person.

In addition to feeling strange, it is more inconsistent.

After a long time, Zhou Gongyu picked up Xiaoman.

Her eyelashes trembled, her soft hair covered half of her cheeks, and unconsciously arched into his arms.

Zhou Gongyu smiled silently, feeling that the woman in her arms was as light as boneless, and she was holding her as if she was holding a cat.

After several days of running around and visiting famous scholars, Xiaoman was really tired. He didn't know when he was sleeping, and he didn't even know when he was taken back to the house to cover his bedding.

When she woke up, it was already dark and the room was empty and terrifyingly quiet.

"Bai Yan."

Bai Yan came in with a bowl of medicine.

"I finally woke up, take medicine."

“Why have I slept for so long?

Did you bring me back?"

Xiaoman smiled, and in the dark night, his bright eyes looked as beautiful as stars.

"You are so awesome, I'm very weak."

Bai Yan's face felt unnatural for a moment, and she responded perfunctorily.

"Doctor Xu came when you were asleep. He said that the medicine was three parts poisonous. You should take a medicine for three days in the next three days. You still have to soak the medicine bath. Let's take a long-term plan for the rest."

"I can finally take less medicine, and... I should let the people know about this academy."

Hearing this, Bai Yan couldn't help rolling her eyes.

It's really naive and in vain.

After a few days, she will know how difficult it is to run a female school.

The last famous scholar on the list, named Shi Xueqing, lives in a Taoist temple on Hongfeng Mountain in the suburbs.

That was the only female official in the previous dynasty. The poems and essays he wrote also shocked the literary world. In the end, there was a sour scholar who could not stand out as good as a woman, so he tried every means to insult him. At first it was an article, and at the end it was her appearance. Even her several loves and misfortunes were said to be a mess.

Finally, Xueqing thought about it and went to Hongfeng Mountain to practice, without getting involved in their struggles.

Xiaoman was so tired that he kept breathing. When he saw the Taoist temple, his legs were weak and some mud was stained with the edge of his skirt.

Shi Xueqing was no longer young, her hair was gray, she was sitting on a recliner wearing a long gown with a grey gown, and she also held a round cat in her arms.

Although she is old, she can still see her beauty while still alive. She should be the kind of mediocre appearance and not outstanding.

Xiaoman had read her poems and was so excited that he had talked a lot to Bai Yan before coming. When he actually saw Xueqing, he was nervous and didn't know what to do.

Shi Xueqing opened her eyes and glanced at her sideways.

"You're the little girl who is looking for people everywhere and wants to run a college?"

She was surprised: "Mr. Shi knows me?"

"I can't afford to say this to you, sir.

The sour scholars in the city are talking about you these days, do you know what they said?"

Xiaoman nodded, she felt that she could guess.

"They said you were delusional and didn't know the world was high, and you, a yellow-haired girl, were doing things that disregard human ethics and distort the yin and yang of heaven and earth."

Shi Xueqing said to herself.

"I am in the mountains, so I don't mean my ears are blocked, so you don't have to repeat those words."

Xiaoman's face turned slightly red, and he was a little at a loss when he stood in front of Shi Xueqing.

"There are a few of them, saying that you have a good appearance, and if you have an average net worth, it would be a good thing to include in the room."
