After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

Ren Jingxing ignored everyone and walked to the last row on his own.

If it were anywhere else, he would definitely try to secure a good spot for Wei Xinyan.

But the palace academy...

The last row it is!

I'll stay a little further away from my husband so the noise is quieter and it'll be easier for him to sleep.

As everyone gathered around to watch, Wei Xinyan, sitting in the last row, was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

This Wei Xinyan is really a madman...

After this incident, the princesses and princes in the Wenhua Hall lost their interest in talking.

A moment later, an old man slowly walked up to the lecture platform in the Wenhua Hall.

The old man's name was Zhou Shenxing, and he was the current Minister of Works.

Zhou Shen walked to the podium, put down his book, and scanned the Wenhua Hall, where he noticed a problem.

Why is the palace school so quiet today?

"Why are you all so quiet, Your Highnesses? Are you still asleep?"

Zhou Shenxing was nearing retirement age and had no further ambitions in his official career.

Therefore, he felt quite at ease talking with the princes and noblemen.

However, his lectures were too boring, and although the princes and princesses did not dislike him, they were unwilling to listen to his lectures.

The people in the hall exchanged glances, and then all looked toward the last row.

In the last row, there was only Ren Jingxing.

Zhou Shenxing frowned.

Why is everyone watching Princess Xiaoqin?

Ren Jingxing felt neither embarrassed nor intimidated by the crowd watching.

When he publicly demolished the brothel, he faced far more scrutiny than this!

Zhou Shenxing shook his head and decided to ignore it.

He was already old and no longer interested in things like princess infighting or princes vying for the throne.

Given his age, he should have died before His Majesty.

Choosing which prince to support was meaningless to him.

As long as everyone studies hard, he will consider his task complete.

But speaking of studying...

Zhou Shenxing couldn't help but turn his gaze to Princess Xiaoqin in the last row.

Of all the people in the Wenhua Hall, the one he valued most was actually the princess in the last row.

His quick thinking and sincere attitude towards learning.

Even among those from humble backgrounds outside the palace, such cases are extremely rare!

He knew his lectures were a bit dry.

But whenever he saw the other princesses and princes dozing off, while Princess Xiaoqin was diligently taking notes, he felt greatly gratified.

His lectures weren't entirely wasted; there were always people willing to listen.

To a certain extent, it was the Fourteenth Princess who motivated him to teach!

Otherwise, couldn't he just handle his official duties properly in the Ministry of Works?

Why do you insist on getting involved in this mess at the Imperial Academy?

Generally speaking, students and teachers in the palace school went to and from each other.

Students at the public school could take the opportunity to establish a relationship with the prince.

Ambitious princes also need to get closer to their ministers.

It can be said that in the entire palace school, only Zhou Shenxing was purely teaching, while only the Fourteenth Princess was purely learning!

Zhou Shenxing sighed, opened his book, and said:

Today we will discuss the Book of Poetry.

After Zhou Shenxing finished speaking, the many princesses and princes in the hall began to whisper among themselves.

Some people started to drift off into thought, while others whispered among themselves.

Zhou Shenxing sighed.

Sigh, not a single one of them is eager to learn.

Then he turned his gaze to the last row.

It seems that only the Fourteenth Princess is studying again!

When he looked up, he saw a scene that broke his heart!

The once studious Fourteenth Princess had already used her books as a pillow and fallen asleep on them!

He falls asleep much faster than the other princesses and princes!

Zhou Shenxing was stunned.

Shock, confusion, doubt, bewilderment, sadness!

He even felt a little insecure.

Is his teaching really that bad? Even Princess Xiaoqin, who is usually very studious, doesn't want to listen to his lessons anymore?

Zhou Shenxing felt somewhat disheartened, and even his lecture became somewhat distracted.

As for Ren Jingxing, he had already fallen fast asleep on his books.

To be honest, the most perfect lullaby in the world is the sound of a teacher lecturing.

Ren Jingxing felt that he had fallen asleep after only hearing the two words "Book of Songs".

I don't know how long I slept, but several urging voices rang in my ears.

"Princess, wake up! We should go back to Hanzhang Palace!"

Princess? Princess!

Ren Jingxing opened his eyes in a daze and wiped away non-existent drool.

"What's wrong? Is it time to eat?"

The maid, Zhu'er, immediately blushed.

Why is this princess so temperamental?

It's a bit embarrassing...

In the Wenhua Hall, the other princes and princesses stopped and stared at Ren Jingxing.

This fourteenth princess has changed so much!

Was it all an act before?

Or is this just an act?

The maid Zhu'er blushed even more.

Her princess is the only one who sleeps through an entire morning of classes!

"Okay, let's go back!"

Ren Jingxing stretched lazily, seemingly oblivious to everyone around him.

Then he saw Mr. Zhou Shenxing, who was about to leave the court and return to his office.

He noticed a hint of resentment in Zhou Shenxing's eyes.

That little look in his eyes was exactly the same as Mr. Ren's, Li Zhou!

"Pearl, how long have I been asleep?"

"Princess, you slept all morning..."

"..."

Well, he understood Zhou Shenxing's gaze somewhat now.

After Ren Jingxing left, Wei Yunshang, pale-faced, tugged at Wei Mingchen's sleeve.

"Fourth Brother, what should we do? Wei Xinyan seems to know something!"

If she tells us, we're all finished!

Wei Mingchen's face was gloomy.

He originally wanted Wei Xinyan to become his subordinate and work for him.

But now it seems this guy can't be kept around.

Wei Mingchen shook his head and gave the instructions:

"You don't need to worry about this. Just remember, you absolutely mustn't tell Consort Ming about this!"

Why?

Wei Mingchen frowned:

"Why? Do you want Consort Ming to know about our relationship?"

Or do you want Consort Ming to provoke Wei Xinyan and make him expose the truth?

Wei Yunshang had almost never seen her fourth brother so enraged.

She shrank back slightly in fear.

"Brother, you're being mean to me..."

Wei Mingchen narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them.

But she quickly concealed it, revealing a look of indulgent helplessness:

"Shang'er, it's my fault, I was too anxious."

But you must do as I say, otherwise our lives will both be in danger, understand?

Wei Yunshang nodded vigorously:

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. I'll listen to you!"

"good!"

Wei Mingchen patted Wei Yunshang's head, a hint of coldness hidden in his smiling eyes.

After returning to his palace, Wei Mingchen immediately asked his subordinates:

"Has the envoy from the grasslands already moved into the Court of State Ceremonial?"

"Your Highness, they have already settled in!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Wei Mingchen's eyes.

"Very good, write a secret letter and send it over immediately."

"Let them choose a different princess for the marriage alliance, replace the fifteenth princess with the fourteenth princess!"

"Yes, sir!"

Having an affair with a princess is a ticking time bomb.

Wei Mingchen had already made arrangements with the envoy from the grasslands.

When the grassland envoys arrive, let them request a marriage alliance with the fifteenth princess.

This way, Wei Yunshang, this ticking time bomb, can be moved outside the palace.

It can also be used to remotely influence the grassland.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xinyan appeared out of nowhere.

Wei Xinyan is far more dangerous than Wei Yunshang; we must first send her away through a marriage alliance!
