d find out something. He couldn't help but move inward again, sticking close to her tightly.Next.Wen Yu Zhou sat down and blocked his spot.Lin Jingrou couldn't help but feel disappointed by the man's...Ning Shu wasn't surprised, but soon followed suit with a bow and said, "Greetings, Fifth Prince..." I paused and added, "I haven't met Prince Xue yet."

The book's eyes, master, seemed to stare at me for a few moments.

Ning Yun heard this and quickly lowered his head.

This left a few people trembling in fear.

Ning Shu quickly averted her gaze, but in her heart she wasn't convinced. Perhaps Qing Zhu's words were not without reason. This… Prince Xue, was indeed somewhat frightening, especially those eyes of his.

"The Fifth Prince, Prince Xue, has arrived..." A sound of astonishment and alarm echoed from the scholars.

Wang Zhi and a few others also calmed down a bit, quickly lowering their heads.

Then I saw the Fifth Prince's procession, but he wasn't walking towards us

Immediately, some people wanted to be friends with Ning Shu and rushed to introduce themselves when they saw her at school.

To be afraid of this cousin He's only a few months older than the fifth prince.

Ning Yun, however, was not convinced. "Why"

The local culture is very open, and when Ning Shu first arrived, he wore a hat so that people couldn't see his face. No one thought he was putting on an act. But after they saw his true face...

I knew it wasn't me. It was just a hallucination. The expression on Young Master Xue's face became even colder.

"Yu wasn't sure, so she nodded and pressed her lips together. "How did the Fifth Prince find out"

Qingzhu had no choice but to swallow his words.

I was stunned for a moment, then took a good look at the other person's face.

This pair of people aren't closely related by blood.

So we guess it was definitely not Ning Yun who suffered grievances in the mansion.

I felt indignant. Seeing Young Master Shi and those two rude people giving up their space to play felt like a betrayal.

But I soon noticed that Ning Yun was also following us, giving way to make space. I was surprised and blurted out, "Why is Master Ning giving way to us"

Wang Zhi's voice suddenly became urgent as he lowered it, saying: "That Xue Gongzi is really terrifying. If an ordinary person dares to look at my face too many times, I would gouge out their eyeballs!"

Then it was just as it was, that young Master Xue's voice didn't sound like it came from an ice cellar at all, I said to the Fifth Prince in a very cold tone, "Can you leave Talk less."

Wouldn't that mean the other party wouldn't recognize me Then what if I offend the prince without even meeting him

"Master… Master, what's wrong"

Ning Shu didn't think that these eyes were unfamiliar. Not until the other person walked closer, did she remember—this wasn't the pair of eyes she had glimpsed this morning on the tree like a flash of lightning

I hope I didn't guess wrong.

As soon as he finished speaking.

I remember... I had never met this Fifth Prince before.

I saw Xue Ce walk right past us, his steps pausing for a fleeting moment. He merely glanced at us with his eyes, revealing an endless coldness within their depths.

I saw the three people make way for a space, their attitude was not familiar at all, as if this wasn't the first time. Usually, I am in good health and often go out, but Ning Yun is healthy but can't just go out casually.

Wang Zhi also felt that there was little reason to it. Although we were tempted by beauty when we went out, we actually had a deeper relationship with Ning Yun. Thinking about Ning Yun's past, he wasn't always melancholy, especially not often mentioning this cousin of his, his words revealing envy. When we asked about this cousin, his expression was never panicked.

Ning Yun busily said, “This is how we should do it. Brother, your taking monastic vows for me isn't a great thing....”

Ning Shu thought about it, according to modern algorithms, she should be around eight or nine. But we are already in our teens, and we have grown so tall, it's not false to say that I am envious. This person wearing black, but the embroidery and patterns on their body don't seem extremely luxurious, compared to the young man next to him in sapphire blue, he loses out completely. The two walked forward, their clothing wasn't the best, so they shouldn't be the Fifth Prince everyone was talking about, not even the Crown Prince Xue.

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment before saying, "There was a bit of an unexpected situation, but it's nothing important. Everyone is still quite friendly towards me, right"

Wang Zhi saw my pitiful appearance and thought I wouldn't dare to do anything. He sneered and said, "Forget it, we'll slowly seek justice for ourselves in the future."

Ning Shu raised her eyes and looked over, but she didn't meet those piercing phoenix eyes from the crowd. It was just that those eyes seemed cold as frost, emanating a dangerous aura that couldn't be ignored.

Those few people inwardly grumbled, "They're doing this to themselves. Even if the Fifth Prince wasn't up to much, he would still know who it was. Why not just have Lord Xue come over" When they spoke, their voices were stammering.

I am still upset about this morning's events. Our young master came to school for the first time and was ridiculed like that. When I return home, I will definitely report today's matter to the master.

And over here, Qing Zhu also heard the news from the Marquis and the Fifth Prince along with my master. I panicked too and immediately grabbed Ning Shu's sleeve and said, "Master, why don't we just turn back"

The fifth prince spoke out of turn, and naturally the people around him didn't just stand there.

Especially not that Ning Shu there, after all, she's living under someone else's roof. It hasn't been easy for her. Instead of being blinded by beauty and losing her composure, she quickly regained her composure and said plainly: "No matter how beautiful a person looks, if they don't have a kind heart, even the best exterior is worthless."

As we left Lánxuě Táng, we ran into those two people who we had seen this morning.

He's not handsome like an immortal, but it's still passable. His face is quite good-looking. But his age seems a bit younger than ours, and he's not very tall either.

"There's no other choice. Among all of us brothers, only Brother Song has such courage."

Ning Shu let her mind wander, lost in thought. She didn't come back to herself until Qing Zhu pulled her up the stairs.

I just wanted to do something, but then I saw someone walking towards me from a distance.

The Fifth Prince said, "Why are we so afraid of my cousin"

The reason it's not a formal relationship is because

it's neither related by our mother's side nor by the Emperor's brothers or sons.

"But before I could even sort things out in my mind, another voice chimed in: 'Aren't you...Ning Bu Shangshu's legitimate son' "

Qīngzhú immediately said, “Young Master! If we're going to do this, let’s show those two what we're capable of!”

Seeing Ning Yun still standing there, he immediately said: "Brother Ning, why are you standing still Hurry up and bow your head."

Moreover, with the Fifth Prince and Young Master Xue teaming up, we must be even more cautious.

Ning Yun's face paled slightly, and I forced a smile for a few moments: "Brother, you were never a phoenix among people. It's just that I like others to look at me. We haven't ever asked, so how could I speak casually"

Xue Ce remained silent, simply retracting his gaze and continuing forward. Only when I had walked away did the group visibly relax.

His expression changed again, after all, everyone loves beauty. Moreover, the son of Ning's Minister of War is so handsome, and his family's official position is higher than ours.

Thinking about those rumors, my heart tightened too. Especially since this morning, I had disturbed Lord Xue's rest.

Ning Shu looked over and found that it wasn't the azure blue that the young man had mentioned. Then, she realized that the other party shouldn't be the fifth prince.

Ning Shu followed her gaze and saw Ning Yun as well.

But I know, we've always been wary of our cousin not because of this reason. It's not because Xue Ce is ruthless, even though rumors say he disregards all family ties, but who among us truly knows the depth of his relationships Shouldn't we be the ones to judge those with ulterior motives meddling in family affairs

It's natural to have close friends, but Ning Shu didn't expect those two people to get along so well with her cousin.

Ning Shu felt a few points of unease. If this Prince Xue wasn't really an executioner, a living King Yama, and quite spiteful, then perhaps it would be better to apologize first.

Before this, no one dared to instigate discord and sow discord secretly. The Emperor dotes on our cousin so much, and the Southern King also holds heavy power, so I'm afraid there will be no changes in the throne in the future

If I got their names wrong, then both of them should not react, because they wouldn't have heard anything. So that proves I wasn't wrong.

And when the students saw this, they hurried forward and bowed, calling out, “We have met, Fifth Prince, Master Xue!”

And at this moment, Wang Zhi and Zhao Lin stepped aside, making way for Ning Yun. They had never expected to see Ning Shu in person today. Her beautiful and lovely appearance was truly unforgettable. Wang Zhi couldn't help but say: "Brother Ning, why didn't you tell me that our cousin... looks so good"

As soon as I finished speaking, the person I guessed wasn't Prince Xue glanced at me. Those slightly upturned phoenix eyes were still cold as ice, and his whole body exuded a very frightening aura.

One person said, "I can restrain myself."

There were no more than twenty or thirty people in the Lanxuan Hall. Ning Shu didn't remember any of us, just a few names that were easy to remember, and their faces weren't particularly distinctive either.

Those two didn't notice us, and neither did the young master. Qingzhu glared at them secretly.

Ning Shu found it strange. Qing Zhu had always been bold, so why was she afraid of the Nan Wang's prince after just hearing a rumor

But listening to Qingzhu describe that Prince Xue...this young man in black, could he not be the very illustrious Prince Xue

.....

Ning Shu wasn't surprised, but quickly replied, "Thank you, Fifth Prince, for your praise."

The Fifth Prince looked at me with his eyes, and said very sincerely: "Today, people in our courtyard mentioned our Lanxuan Hall. The eldest son of the Minister of Dryning is a good friend of ours, and he has come to see you now. As expected, he is indeed very handsome."l nodded.Wen Yu Zhou didn't speak, then walked over and took the bowl from the boy's hand.
