C38 (1/2)

The aura of a natural born king suppressed him. Even he, who had been in the battlefield for a long time, felt his heart tremble. He didn't know if the decision he had made was the right one or the wrong one.

”Sigh, you, have never easily admitted defeat. That's right, in half a month's time, the Emperor's birthday banquet will be held. At that time, the envoys from the neighboring countries will come to our country to celebrate our birthday. The Emperor has ordered that all children of officials above the third rank must attend the banquet, and you must also go. ”

Bai Zhixi pointed at himself, and looked at Old General Bai in disbelief, meaning: Me too?

Her parents were long dead, and her father wasn't above the third rank. Why would he attend such a boring banquet?

”Hurry up and dispel your impractical thoughts. You must attend this banquet.”

Don't think that he doesn't know his granddaughter's thoughts. In fact, he doesn't like those boring banquets either. However, he had no choice but to obey the imperial edict.

”Why? I don't want to go to that boring meeting. With so many daughters on Prime Minister's Estate, you can just pick any one of them.

What kind of place was the palace?

This was an extremely dangerous place. If he wasn't careful and said something wrong, the lesser ones would be imprisoned, while the heavier ones would not be able to leave the gates of the imperial palace, and would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

”You damn girl, how can they compare to you? You have to always remember that you are from the direct line of descent, and your status is incomparably noble.” And regardless of how talented or outstanding they were, they were only the offspring of an aunt. Their status was a bit lower than yours, so in the end, they did not have the qualifications. And it is the Imperial Majesty's imperial decree, you must attend. However, when I thought about it, you were a fool since you were young and had never studied before. You didn't have the same proficiency in zither, chess, painting, or calligraphy, so in order to prevent you from joining the palace, you didn't have the slightest appearance of a golden lady. He then requested for an order from the Emperor, requesting the Prince Mo of the clan to teach you for a few days. Prince Mo was extremely smart since he was young, he had read many books under the heavens, and his zither, chess, calligraphy and painting were also not bad. He could teach you for just a few days, but if you study diligently …

Learning his lesson wouldn't embarrass me. When that time comes, there will still be envoys from the other three nations at the banquet, don't embarrass us, our Dongjun Kingdom. ”

Old General Bai finished his words without even catching his breath, shocking Bai Zhixi to the point where he started clapping his hands in applause. If this was a debate, this old man would definitely take first place.

Wait?

What did he just say?

Let that Jun Mohan, that great rogue, teach me manners?

”Grandfather, you asked Jun Mohan to teach me how to learn. I have eyes of my own, wouldn't I be able to see it for myself?”

Bai Zhixi stood up in excitement. If she stayed with that Darkhell everyday, she reckoned that she would lose a few years of her lifespan.

”Do you know how to read it? You have been a fool since you were young, do you know how to read? ”

This silly girl, she was really lucky to be here. Did she think that anyone in Prince Mo could ask her to help? Anyone willing to teach?

”I …”

This time, she didn't know how to reply, so she could only silently hold it in.

”But can't it be anyone else?”

She had also thought that if she were to suddenly learn how to read, she would definitely be suspected by others.

This was indeed a good opportunity, but why did it have to be that man with a big belly?

”Stupid girl, if someone is willing to teach you, will I still have to take off my old face and go beg the Prince Mo? Really, you are so stupid, if you had Prince Mo's guidance and learned even the slightest bit from him, I would thank the heavens. In the future, he would promise that the other party wouldn't be looked down upon by his in-laws either. ”Really, you're so stupid, yet you're so picky. You better learn well. If you don't learn well, then don't come back. If you learn well, then come back.”

Old General Bai looked at her in disappointment. At this moment, Bai Zhixi had an impulse to tell him regardless of anything: In his previous life, he was a top student, how could he compare to the old man whose mind had been sealed for thousands of years?

But she did not have the courage to say so, so she could only lower her head in silence. Old General Bai shouted for half a day in her courtyard before she left. It could be seen how dissatisfied she was with Bai Zhixi.

As the night quietly arrived, Bai Zhixi lied on his bed and thought about what his grandfather had said earlier today. Even though he had to face that repulsive face every day, under careful thought, being able to learn by using his name, and using it to showcase his talent, would also be able to obstruct his leisurely way.

Forget it. For the sake of not being burned to death as a monster by others, I'll just tolerate him for half a month! As he thought about it, he couldn't help but fall asleep.

Inside the small wooden house on the mountain behind capital, the lights were currently on and the cold wind was blowing the candles through the gap in the door. However, you could still clearly see everything inside.

”Master, the disciples of witch church on Demon Subduing Mountain have been wanting to make a move lately, killing the innocent at the bottom of the mountain. The brothers stationed there did not want to be brutally killed because of their quarrel with them. In addition, the brothers in the surrounding towns all encountered the same thing. They killed quite a few of our brothers, and the surrounding villages weren't spared either. They were all slaughtered by them. ”We brothers are all very excited, vowing to avenge our brothers who have been killed, we will go ask our lord.”
