Hanlin Academy.
The New Hanlin Academy's attitude towards Zhu Bai was clearly much better than before.
When they saw Zhu Bai come over, they would bow respectfully.
Previously, they had only bowed because of Zhu Bai's status as a prince.
However, the respectful bow he gave now was 70% due to his knowledge of Zhu Bai.
An eight-year-old child could already be so knowledgeable.
It made them sweat.
Wang Gen walked forward and cupped his hands.
"Greetings, Your Highness.
Is it still the same?"
Zhu Bai nodded.
"As usual."
When Wang Gen heard this, he immediately brought over a pot of tea and a few cotton cushions.
It was placed in a fixed position in the library.
As time passed, this seat was almost exclusive to Zhu Bai.
"Your Highness, please enjoy."
Not only did Wang Gen bring a teapot and teacups, but he also took the initiative to bring a few plates of snacks.
He seemed to be apologizing for what happened yesterday.
Zhu Bai took a glance but didn't say anything.
He only asked Wang Gen to bring ten books over and sit on a chair to read them.
After a while, she picked up the pastry and took a bite.
Seeing this, the other party heaved a sigh of relief.
Yesterday's incident was considered over.
The few new Hanlin scholars who were watching from afar also felt relieved.
The so-called examination was still too much for them.
Wang Gen put down his towel and walked out of the library.
He went to his colleagues.
Someone asked impatiently.
"How is it? Your Highness didn't blame me, right?”
Wang Gen shook his head.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. You didn't lower yourself to our level.”
Hearing this, everyone present relaxed completely.
"That's good, that's good.
Who would have thought that there was really a genius in the Imperial Palace?”
"Yeah, this is a genius that only appears once in a hundred years.
I've only seen such a person in books.”
"Even Song shi wasn't that impressive back then.”
Everyone's attitude toward Zhu Bai had a 180-degree turn.
Wang Gen said with certainty.
"If this person isn't from the imperial palace, but grew up among the people.
In the future, he would definitely become a member of the royal court and even become a prime minister.”
The prime minister was the highest goal of the civil officials.
There was no other.
The people in the Imperial Academy were all proud and aloof.
However, no one dared to say that they were not interested in this matter.
Someone sighed.
"Everyone, let's focus on our studies.
I have benefited a lot from the 12th Prince's study.
To learn, one must guard against arrogance, impatience, and patience.”
Someone echoed.
"That's right. How can we be inferior to an eight-year-old child?
I'm going to reject all future social interactions!
Focus on your studies!"
Zhu Bai's arrival caused a wave of diligent learning among the new Hanlin Academy.
However, the person in question was sitting in the library and reading seriously.
He did not know that his actions had such a huge impact.
But not long after.
"Your Highness!"
The call from outside the door made Zhu Bai stop flipping through the book.
He raised his head and saw the person who had come.
It was sent by Zhu Di.
"Fourth Brother asked you to come?"
The eunuch on the opposite side lowered his head and said respectfully.
"The King of Yan has invited you over. He said that it's about what he promised last time.”
Hearing this, Zhu Bai remembered the last time he promised Zhu Di to go to the Xu Manor.
"Lead the way."
Zhu Bai put down the book and asked the eunuch to return it.
Although he really didn't want to go.
However, a promise was worth a thousand gold, so she could only follow him.
……
An hour later, Zhu Bai looked at Zhu Di.
Countless question marks appeared in his head.
"Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"
He saw that Zhu Di was not wearing the usual prince's clothes.
Instead, he was dressed like a guard.
"How is it, twelfth brother?
How does Fourth Brother look in this?"
Zhu Di looked a little novel in this outfit.
"Fourth Brother, you are indeed in high spirits.
But why are you wearing this?"
Zhu Bai asked helplessly.
Although he looked very energetic, it did not match Zhu Di's identity.
Zhu Di said confidently.
"Although I agreed to marry her, I haven't even seen that female student.
He would definitely not be able to see her when he was preparing to get married.
So I want to take a look before the Ministry of Rites starts preparing.
Was she the same as the rumored female student?”
Whether it was the Ministry of Rites or the marriage among the people.
They all had similar customs.
Before the wedding, the bride and groom were not allowed to meet.
Zhu Di had just asked around. There were still two days before the wedding process began.
It was not against etiquette for him to sneak a look now.
"Alright then.
Then what identity do you plan to use to go, Fourth Brother?”
Zhu Bai couldn't help having a headache. This was pushing him to the front.
As expected, Zhu Di revealed a malicious smile.
"Today, fourth brother will be your head guard, haha!
Twelfth Prince Zhu Bai went to visit Xu Manor.
Don't worry, I've prepared the gift.”
As he spoke, Zhu Di patted Zhu Bai's shoulder and gave him a look of trust.
Hearing this, Zhu Bai knew that he had become a shield.
"Then why me? Can't you just find an excuse?”
Zhu Di shook his head.
"I've already asked around. Great General Xu is not here today.
The elders of the Xu Manor were discussing the marriage with the people from the Ministry of Rites.
When the others went, they couldn't see that female student.
Only you are still young and have a close relationship with me.”
Although Zhu Di was in the palace, he was still very familiar with all kinds of rules.
The daughter of the Xu family was not married yet.
Therefore, they didn't welcome outsiders.
Only Zhu Bai, who had a high status and was young, went.
The daughter of the Xu family had no choice but to come out to receive them. Otherwise, it would be a neglect.
"Understood. Let's go."
Zhu Bai suddenly didn't look forward to leaving the palace.
Zhu Di kept coaxing her along the way.
"Good twelfth brother, you helped fourth brother this time.
Fourth Brother will agree to one condition of yours!
No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I will promise you!”
Hearing this, Zhu Bai immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Really?"
"It's true!"
"I don't believe you. Write a written pledge!"
Zhu Di had no choice but to write a written agreement.
Only then did he and Zhu Bai board the carriage and leave the palace together.
