Chapter 361 The Prince's Reading
Zhou Chang could say that the words "Bo Yin Academy" went from being unfamiliar to being well-known.
I have heard it so many times that I know a thing or two: "It is just a school that was opened specifically to make money from the rich and powerful."
It would have been better if Yuan Qi hadn't mentioned it. Once he did, he couldn't suppress his anger. "Your Highness is a prince, and the sons of princes and nobles cannot be compared. Even the sons of noble families have to study, and there are only a few famous old teachers. Therefore, I heard that it was His Royal Highness Prince Rong who took the lead and gathered people together to open such an academy. As for the cost, it's not that you can get in there just by having money. Your family background must also be checked."
Yuan Qi was always unusually cold when he mentioned Prince Rong.
Zhou Chang estimated that the Yuan family must have put in a lot of effort to get Yuan Jie admitted to Boyin Academy.
If it weren't for the rumors about Boyin Academy last time, she wouldn't have rushed to Yaoyuefang.
Unfortunately, no matter how wealthy the Yuan family was, even if Yuan Yu had the title of "Antai Merchant Gentleman" and Yuan Qi was given the title of "Jinning County Lady", they were still looked down upon by some aristocratic families.
Zhou Chang suddenly thought of Feng Suo: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's no big deal. How old is Yuan Jie this year?"
"My fourteenth birthday is coming soon." Yuan Qi was still thinking about how to ask someone to find a good teacher for Yuan Jie first, and then let Yuan Jie drop out of Boyin Academy.
Zhou Chang remembered that the twelfth prince Feng Suo was also thirteen years old and would soon be fourteen.
The two were of similar age, and they came up with an idea: "It just so happens that Yuan Jie and Feng Suo are of the same age, so why not let him enter the palace to be a companion to Feng Suo?"
"Your Highness, are you serious?" Yuan Qi never expected this.
"However, I can't guarantee how the lecture halls in the palace are teaching. But after all, they are all Hanlin scholars, so they shouldn't be too bad." Zhou Chang had never worried about Feng Suo's studies, but he had to consider Yuan Jie.
Yuan Qi Qiuhong's sparkling eyes lit up again: "I couldn't ask for more. Can Your Majesty really do it?"
"Although it has never been done before, it should not be difficult. It's just a matter of adding a study partner for the prince." Zhou Chang was thinking that Feng Suo didn't like the current study partner, so it would be better to find another study partner to keep him company.
Yuan Qi was so excited that he grabbed Zhou Chang's hand and said, "Your Highness is really... If my father knew, I wonder how happy he would be."
Yuan Yu had always hoped that Yuan Jie would study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to the Yuan family, so he never let Yuan Jie get involved in business matters.
But Yuan Qi always felt that Yuan Jie had mediocre talent. Even if he passed the imperial examinations in the future, with the financial support of the Yuan family, he might not be able to reach a high position. But if Yuan Jie could hook up with a prince, his future would be very different.
"Don't be happy too soon. As long as you agree, I will try to do it. It shouldn't be a big deal. But if something goes wrong in the middle, you will be disappointed." Zhou Chang also let Yuan Qi hold him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"No matter what, I have to thank the prince for his kindness." Yuan Qi shook Zhou Chang's hand violently. After a while, he realized it and withdrew his hand with his face flushed.
A red sky seemed to appear in front of Zhou Chang's eyes, and his body suddenly felt light.
Yuan Qi's rosy cheeks set off a pair of rippling autumn rainbows, gorgeous and dazzling.
Their eyes met, but then slid away from each other.
Yuan Qi lowered his head.
Zhou Chang couldn't help but stare at the person.
At this time, Li, who was not far away, came over to report: "Your Majesty, Princess, dinner is ready. Should we serve it now?"
The atmosphere was relaxed, and Zhou Chang's next dinner was arranged.
Yuan Qi's eyes flickered: "The weather is warm, would Your Majesty like to have a meal in this colorful glazed pavilion?"
Zhou Chang nodded naturally
Yuan Qi then ordered, "Master Li, have them light the lamps here and prepare dinner here as well."
"Yes." Manager Li agreed and hurried down to make arrangements.
Next, the two had dinner in the Colorful Glazed Pavilion.
Yuan Qi was very happy because his brother's problem had been satisfactorily resolved, and he took the initiative to invite someone to drink.
Zhou Chang was not a drinker, but he couldn't resist the persuasion.
The most important thing is that in her previous life she was allergic to alcohol, and she disliked people who behaved immorally after drinking, so she hated them.
Since coming here, he said he would not drink, but he drank quite a lot.
Therefore, Yuan Qi was happy and drank one cup after another to cheer him up, and Zhou Chang was happy too, drinking a lot with him.
When the moon reached the zenith, both of them were drunk.
Zhou Chang stepped on cotton and walked out of the colorful glazed pavilion. The six moons in the sky were just a crescent shadow. He looked down and saw Manager Li standing outside and Xiqiao behind her. "Are you okay? You should be okay."
Xiqiao was so scared that she shrank behind Manager Li.
Manager Li also blocked it calmly with his body: "Your Highness, you are drunk."
"I am drunk, but I am not confused. Are you okay?" Zhou Chang stared at Li Caifeng and asked, "You are all good people. If you have any wishes, I, I...will do it within my ability..."
Manager Li took two steps back with Xiqiao: "Your Highness, you are joking. We are doing very well following the young master."
"Don't get me wrong, I want you guys to be well, it's just..." Zhou Chang drank decent white wine tonight, it didn't taste good, but fortunately, although his body wasn't quite under his control, his mind was still clear.
"Prince, where are you going?" Yuan Qi was also confused and followed him out.
Zhou Chang turned around, still pointing at Li Caifeng and Xiqiao: "I'll tell you a secret. You may not believe it, but I used to be them. Thanks to you for saving them, I am..."
"Haha..., I thought I was drunk, but it turns out it was the prince who was drunk." Yuan Qi laughed.
"You don't believe it? You don't believe I can prove it..." Zhou Chang didn't know why. His head was clear, but the words in his heart just kept coming out.
"A-choo..." A gust of night wind blew, and Yuan Qi sneezed.
Zhou Chang didn't care, but Prince Yi was obviously worried. He stepped forward and embraced Yuan Qi with his wide sleeves: "Yes, it's cold too. Go back quickly, don't catch a cold."
Yuan Qi was also drunk and was about to return to his bedroom.
So the two of them hugged each other, staggered back to the bedroom, and fell on the bed together.
Manager Li, Lu Ju, Lu Ping and others followed in, but they all hesitated and stopped beside the screen at the entrance.
Zhou Chang's body lost control and he fell down, but he was still conscious. He stood up and saw Li Caifeng's horse face again: "I just said it, but you don't believe it. I used to be you, and you used to be me. There is no difference between us."
Li Caifeng, the head of the Li family, had a long face and was gloomy about extorting money. She thought Zhou Chang was just talking drunk and should not be taken seriously. But she didn't know why Prince Yi kept staring at her and Xiqiao today, so she quickly hid away again.
"Hey, Master Li, what should we...?" Lu Ju and Lu Ping were also at a loss, not knowing whether they should come in to serve or be "tactful" and not disturb them.
Yuan Qi was not drunk yet, so he pulled Zhou Chang's clothes to help him sit up again: "What did the prince say?"
As long as Yuan Qi spoke, even if it wasn't Zhou Chang, Prince Yi's consciousness would definitely respond immediately. He turned his head to face Yuan Qi's face, which was as bright as the sky and stars: "I said, I want to be you, then I will be you, you will be me, you will be in me, and I will be in you, okay..."
"You are in me and I am in you. Does the prince really have me in his heart?" Yuan Qi reeked of alcohol, but his breath was still as fragrant as orchid.
"Of course..." Zhou Chang smelled the sweet aroma of wine coming from Yuan Qi, and his consciousness instantly became blurred.
"Really?" Yuan Qi smiled foolishly and fell backwards again.
The last thing Zhou Chang saw was Yuan Qi’s face disappearing from in front of her, and then her eyes fell into darkness.
