“Study in the palace?” Song Jingchen took a deep breath and looked at the smug little girl leaning against the window sill. His head hurt.

Little Jiajia smiled. “That’s right. I’ve decided to go to school with you tomorrow.”

“You don’t know, do you? I hate studying, but I have no choice. You’re so busy every day. I can’t stop you from studying and force you to play with me, right? Then I can only sacrifice myself.”

“However, you don’t have to be too touched. Just go to school with me every day in the future. Anyway, it’s convenient. You can’t sneak away.”

“Oh, right. When the time comes, you have to help me do my homework. In any case, I can’t be inferior to others. I went to school for you. You have to be responsible for me.”

If she didn’t want to embarrass himself, shouldn’t she work hard herself? No matter how good his homework was, it couldn’t be funneled into her head. Besides, he wasn’t the one who asked her to go. Why did he have to be responsible?

Also, didn’t she come to Great Xia to play? The Xuanyuan Kingdom had all kinds of great teachers, so why did she come to Great Xia’s palace to join the classes?

Song Jingchen was speechless when he heard her ramble on and on.

He suddenly remembered what his grandfather had said to him after returning from the palace banquet that day.

“That person has always been worried about our Song family. He definitely doesn’t want our family to be related to the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Brother Chen, stay away from the princess in the future.”

“Actually, it’s understandable for the emperor to be worried. If someone ambitious seizes this opportunity, he could persuade the Xuanyuan Kingdom to help him in the future. It won’t be a problem for him to overthrow the imperial power. ”

“But Brother Chen, you have to remember that anyone in Great Xia can be a traitor, except for our Song family. We are indebted to the late emperor, just as he was indebted to us. Grandfather can’t let him down.”

“When your father returns, I’ll tell him and ask your mother to help you take a look. We’ll settle your marriage first so that that person can rest assured.”

“Don’t say that you’re still young and in no hurry. Even if the person we chose isn’t from a good family, we won’t find someone with a bad personality. It’s better than the emperor “granting” you a marriage with someone who’s out to harm you.”

“Why is such a good girl the princess of the Xuanyuan Kingdom?”

“Just bear with it a little longer. By then, our Song family will be able to catch our breath.”

Bear with it? What were they waiting for? Although his grandfather didn’t say it explicitly, he understood.

They were waiting for the day Emperor Chong’an abdicated and the crown prince ascended the throne.

Song Jingchen lowered his eyes. Although he didn’t refute his grandfather at that time, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

On account of the late emperor’s kindness, his grandfather only wanted to help the Shangguan family protect Great Xia. For the sake of the people in power, he was willing to retreat again and again.

However, Emperor Chong’an was not the late emperor. He did not have any mercy. Could the Song family really wait until the day the crown prince, who had half of the Song family’s bloodline, ascended the throne?

It was unknown if he had been thinking too much these past few days, but he had a dream.

Last night, he actually dreamed about the funeral banner of the Bulwark Duke’s residence hanging high. The whiteness of the funeral banner pierced his eyes, and he had lingering fears for the entire day. He did not even hear what the teacher said in class.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” Little Jiajia tilted her head and looked at the young man sitting in front of the desk. The young man’s eyes were filled with fatigue. It was obvious that he had not rested well.

After some thought, she exerted strength with her hand on the window sill and rolled into the study.

Song Jingchen came back to his senses and said helplessly, “There’s a door. Why did you climb through the window?”

“I’m lazy.” Little Jiajia leaned over and picked up the book he had placed in the middle of the desk. When she saw that it was a military book, she was a little surprised. “My father’s study also has this book. Can you understand it?” Song Jingchen pursed his lips. “I was just looking at it for fun.”

“Oh.” Little Jiajia’s head hurt when she saw the book. She did not feel that she had been patronized. She put the book back and asked with concern, “Why are you back so early today? Did someone in the palace bully you?”

Song Jingchen looked at her steadily and asked, “What will you do if someone bullies me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it and said, “No one bullied me. I completed my assignments quickly today, so I naturally came back early.”

In fact, he usually returned at this time. The reason why he came back late a few days ago was because he listened to his grandfather and deliberately avoided this girl.

Little Jiajia ignored his last sentence and clenched her fists. She said angrily, “How dare someone bully my people? Tell me who it is. I’ll help you beat him up.”

“Forget it, I don’t know him anyway. Bring me to him directly.” As she spoke, she pulled his hand and was about to leave when she comforted him. “Don’t worry, the emperor of Great Xia won’t dare to do anything to me.”

Her father’s 500,000 troops were still waiting at the border.

Song Jingchen was accidentally pulled up from the chair by her. Sensing the softness of her hand holding his, the tips of his ears turned red. He quickly said, “No one bullied me.”

Little Jiajia paused and turned to look at him suspiciously. “Really?”

“No, I’m the crown prince’s study companion and the heir of the Bulwark Duke’s residence. No one dares to bully me. Besides, they can’t beat me.” Little Jiajia still didn’t believe it.

Song Jingchen regretted saying that again and said seriously, “I really didn’t. Even if I did, I wouldn’t need a little girl like you to avenge me.”

Did he still want his reputation?

“Alright.” Little Jiajia believed him. She thought of something and blinked.

“Then can you avenge me if anyone bullies me in the future?”

Song Jingchen didn’t think anyone dared to bully her, but he was afraid that she wouldn’t relent, so he nodded. “Sure.”

Little Jiajia was happy. “I knew you were the best.”

Song Jingchen coughed uncomfortably and took the opportunity to pull his hand away. He sat in front of the desk again and casually picked up a book to read. “Alright, I want to read. Go back quickly. You don’t have to go to school tomorrow since we have a day off. I’ll bring you to the palace the day after tomorrow..”
