Daily updates this week, bishes!

Long Sangyu watched the man walk out of the study. Zhang Yunlei was obviously in a much better mood.

There was a soft arc on the prince's face.

"I could have brought those offerings." Xiao Bao's tone was filled with questions.

"A'Bao, you know the things happening in our palace. Like my elder imperial sister, I need to see who are my people and who aren't."

Junwang arranged the bronze statuettes on his desk and light suddenly refracted to Xiao Bao's eyes. The young man flinched but he didn't know if it was because of the blinding light or if it was because of the gentle smile on the prince's face.

His Highness was learning how to bare his fangs properly.

On the way to the ancestral hall, Zhang Yunlei's steps were light. There was an unsaid promise in Junwang's words. He expected his Highness to visit him tonight.

It was worth celebrating.

Long Tang looked at her Highness in apprehension.

Wan Li Wang was currently standing inside her room inspecting the books on her shelves.

"Don't read this. The Shi Li dynasty is nothing but a myth invented by idealistic scholars of old. Those people had never set foot in court, nor have they seen the real people's plight. The things they say in this book will only muddle the mind." Wangye glanced at the young girl who instantly stiffened.

"A better reading material would be the Memoirs of the Lowly Warrior. Yes, the author is not a General but you will see a glimpse of the effects of real war on the common people's lives."

Long Tang bowed, her voice a little shaky. "Thanking wangye for these pointers."

Long Xu Le directly sat on the luohan couch after taking a thorough look at the books. "Then have you read everything on these shelves?"

"Answering her Highness, yes. This subject has read them but has done in-depth annotations only on Mencius and Doctrines of the Mean."

The King's brow raised at this as she uttered. "The perfect virtue."

Her Highness was indicating the contents of the Doctrines of the Mean that was known to teach values. There were no traces of mocking in her voice but Long Tang felt her sins were being judged by Wan Li Wang's unadulterated onyx eyes.

They continued discussing these books as though King Wan Li was testing her knowledge on them. The young lady would hem and haw on some topics, showing her inexperience but the King wasn't condescending in the slightest.

She would correct her misinterpretations and expand on some concepts.

Long Tang found this to be just like when wangye used to visit her courtyard to review her studies. She lowered her head to hide the tears threatening to spill over.

In fact, coming to Yue Ju was called her punishment and confinement but the room she received here wasn't too inferior to the one in Tianmi. The decorations were simple but the quality was the same.

Her servants were all changed but the eunuchs attending to her now didn't mistreat her one bit.

No doubt that the way people would treat her outside this palace would change as soon as news leaked out. But here, there was no mistaking everything was the same.
