Chapter 31 You Are Alone

"It is said that when His Highness the Crown Prince has good eyes and good health, many people like him..."

Just as Miaozhu was talking enthusiastically, Zhao's mother gently pinched her arm: "Miss, you are busy today, so you should eat and rest early."

It didn't hurt when his arm was twisted down, but Miaozhu was smart enough to react quickly and kept silent.

Li Yuyan was not annoyed at all by what Miaozhu said. Instead, he smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is among the best among people. It is normal that there are a lot of people who like him."

Miaozhu is very good at gathering information, so what she said must be true.

Li Yuyan took off her veil, and the patches of skin sticking to her face fell off as soon as she lifted them off.

Looking at the patches of wrinkled dough that had been soaked by the rain, I felt gloomy. I was afraid that the dough might not be able to stick on for several days.

It needs to be taken good care of.

Mother Zhao sighed quietly. When the Madam and the Master first got married, they were deeply in love as husband and wife. But later, the concubines came in one after another.

If the young lady really marries to the East Palace, even if the prince is sick and weak, for the sake of appearance of the Tian family, there will definitely be more and more women in the East Palace.

A noble girl from a respectable family is unwilling to marry the prince, but a girl from an ordinary family is still very attractive to be the prince's concubine.

Li Yuyan didn't know what Zhao's mother was thinking.

If there were many people who liked Ye Yiheng, maybe she wouldn't have to marry him. Thinking of this, Li Yuyan's depressed mood improved a lot.

I had a quick dinner, then washed up and went to bed.

But this time, Li Yuyan slept very uneasily.

In the dream, she lost her way in an empty palace.

Moon-white gauze hangs between the palace pillars.

The breeze blew, the gauze swayed, and the tassels swayed gently in the wind. The bell hanging under the corridor rang softly.

The fragrance in the incense burner curls up and drifts in the wind.

Other than that, the hall was so quiet that the only sound was her own footsteps.

She was eager to find an exit...

It was obviously just a veil covering it, but she couldn't get out no matter what.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from behind me. The footsteps were steady and strong, and they seemed to belong to him.

When I turned around, I saw no one.

Li Yuyan became more and more panicked, as if she was falling into a bottomless abyss. The abyss was covered with dense vines, but no matter how hard she grabbed it, she couldn't catch it.

The next moment, she was hugged tightly from behind.

The man was very tall. He opened his arms and embraced her whole body, which shocked her.

Her back was pressed against his chest, which was as hard as iron. Suddenly, shock hit her like a stormy wave, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Your Highness, can you let me go?"

"Why?"

"Your Highness is the most noble auspicious cloud in the sky, but I am the most ordinary dust in the world. We really shouldn't be tied together. If Your Highness can let me go, I will be grateful..."

Before she finished speaking, the man tightened his arms and wrapped her body tightly.

He lowered his head, put his lips close to her ear, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "You are alone, where else can I let you go, huh?"

As soon as the words fell, she was picked up by him in the air...

The absurdity of the night in his dream made Li Yuyan still in shock even as he was having his morning meal.

Ever since I had that dream on the carriage when I entered Beijing, I had not dreamed about it for some time, but I dreamed about it again last night.

Could it be because I went to the East Palace during the day?

And this dream seemed to remind her not to marry the prince.

Not long after, Li Jiajia came to Qingyuju and saw Li Yuyan still eating the morning meal. She was surprised and asked: "Why did sister get up late today?"

When she saw that Li Yuyan's eyes were slightly green, she asked again: "Sister, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Miaozhu helped explain: "My lady was too busy yesterday and couldn't sleep well at night."

Li Jiajia sat down opposite Li Yuyan very familiarly: "It's okay, I'll eat some more with my sister."

Anyway, it is normal for students in Class D to go to school late.

Miao Zhu handed over a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Li Jiajia ate the waffles directly.

Qinxiang couldn't help but advise: "Miss, you have eaten enough in your yard just now."

Li Jiajia glanced at her and continued eating.

Seeing her mouth full, Li Yuyan smiled softly, and the lingering dream in her mind became lighter.

Ye Yiheng's low words in her ear in the dream stopped echoing.

When the sisters arrived at Qingya Academy, they were surprised to find the daughter of the Xu family standing at the door of the Class B classroom, staring at them with provocative eyes.

Li Jiajia couldn't understand why Mi Xinmei didn't dare to come to the school after being gossiped about, and Xu Yaxiang was slapped four times but seemed to be fine.

Is this man's face made of iron?

Li Jiajia glared at her fiercely and pulled Li Yuyan directly past Xu Yaxiang.

Seeing this, Xu Yaxiang smiled contemptuously, walked quickly in a few steps, and entered the classroom of Class A.

"Man Ting, we have a good relationship. I want to take revenge. Don't stop me then."

Li Manting was holding a pen and thinking about how to improve her pen skills. When she heard this, she lowered her voice and said, "How do you want to take revenge?"

Xu Yaxiang's eyes were filled with fire: "My teeth were knocked out, and I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart. Man Ting, you are smart, can you help me figure out how to vent my anger?"

The last time she said that about the prince, no one in the family blamed her. The reason was simply that the prince had completely lost power.

Li Manting thought about the time when she was frightened by the spots on Li Yuyan's face and fell down. If those spots were seen by more people, Li Yuyan's reputation would be extremely bad.

But I still need to maintain my sister's reputation: "Fifth sister can't forgive you, and I apologize to you on her behalf."

Saying this, it is a blessing to the body.

Xu Yaxiang grabbed her: "Manting, what are you doing? We are friends, you will stand by my side this time!"

Li Manting pretended to be embarrassed and nodded.

Xu Yaxiang squeezed her hand happily: "We are sisters who share the same love!"

Turning her eyes, Li Manting said deliberately: "There are so many unpleasant things said to Fifth Sister in the school, but she remains indifferent. I'm afraid you don't have a good way to vent your anger."

Xu Yaxiang snorted sharply: "I don't believe it! What do you think I pulled off her veil?"

Li Manting asked angrily: "You have been beaten by her, do you think you can pull it off?"

"Then we have to find someone who can make her relax her vigilance."

The two discussed for a long time but failed to find a suitable candidate.

During the lunch break, the master who specializes in teaching calligraphy informed each class one after another that a calligraphy conference would be held in the school in a few days, so that everyone should be prepared.

The person who wins the first prize in calligraphy will not only get the Queen's calligraphy gift given by His Royal Highness, but also a thousand taels of tuition fees.

Although one thousand taels of silver cannot be compared with Li Yuyan's generous rewards, the amount is not small.

You know, the amount of money that the masters have to pay varies from a few taels of silver.

In this regard, Li Manting is bound to win.

She had been practicing the vertical hook for several days and had made some progress.

If she practices diligently these days, she will surely win the championship.

By then, the one thousand taels of tuition money will definitely be hers. With this, she can legitimately win the title of the most talented woman in the capital.

Not only got the reward, but also got the name, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

------Digression-----

Tuition fees, originally meaning lights, gradually evolved into the term tuition fees, which refers to the expenses required for studying.

Tuition fees refer to the subsidies or study expenses provided by ancient colleges to students.

To some extent, it is close to the meaning of "scholarship" in the modern sense.
