Chapter 66.1 – What Did This Prince’s w.a.n.gfei Do Wrong? (1)

T/N: Chapter (3/12) sponsored by Madam Daim! Thank you for sponsoring!

Ji Liu Xia woke from her hazy conscious and saw Du Xiao Li, “Eh? Xiao Li, you’ve also come to the academy?!”

Du Xiao Li nodded at her with an unconcealable smile in her eyes.

“Ji Liu Xia, you’re still not going out!?” Gao Zi Fu bellowed.

Ji Liu Xia stuck her tongue out towards Du Xiao Li and then stepped out of the cla.s.sroom.

“Alright, now let’s continued talking about that poem just now, the verse cards altogether divide into these few

forms……..” Gao Zi Fu glared at Ji Liu Xia as she walked out, and then turned back to continue lecturing.

Towards those semi-incomprehensible things, Du Xiao Li wasn’t that interested in either. Compared to these, she

like reading medical books more, thus she also experienced what Ji Liu Xia was feeling. Fortunately, when she

came, this cla.s.s had already progressed halfway, so not long after, it ended. Otherwise, she certainly would’ve also

been like Ji Liu Xia and fell asleep.

As soon as Gao Zi Fu left, Ji Liu Xia ran in from outside the cla.s.sroom, returning to her own seat. “Xiao Li, why

didn’t you tell me you were coming to school, I would’ve gone to get you!”

“Third sister, sorry, going to the toilet took rather long. By the time I came out, it was already almost time for cla.s.s,

and Teacher Gao’s cla.s.s doesn’t allow for students to be late. Thinking it was his cla.s.s, I just forgot in the hurry.” Du

Ke Xin walked from the front to the back of the cla.s.sroom and said with an apologetic look.

Before Du Xiao Li could respond, someone in the cla.s.sroom already spoke out.

“Ke Xin, it’s not like you did it on purpose, who let Teacher Gao be that strict!”

“That’s right, I trust Du third miss won’t blame you either. Besides, you’re the older sister, how can a younger sister

blame their own older sister.”

Du Xiao Li looked to those people all energetically talking at once, and also that look of self-blame on Du Ke Xin,

and said, “En, second sister indeed just had me lead to the boys’ school side by accident, and then let me wait there

for an hour only. However, I later ran into Ding w.a.n.g, and he had me sent to Elder Fu’s place. Afterwards, also

troubled Gentleman Mo to send me here.”

“You ran into Ding w.a.n.g?”

“Ding w.a.n.g even sent you to find Elder Fu?”

“Ah, I remember, his Majesty bestowed a marriage for you and Ding w.a.n.g!”

“Ding w.a.n.g definitely must have saw that it was your first time coming to the academy, and thus helped show you

the way.”

“That’s right, else, with Ding w.a.n.g’s temper, how could he have bother with you?”

Du Xiao Li looked to those people, somewhat wanting to sigh. These official family’s young miss really are women!

Three women, one drama, it really is the case!

(T/N: This an idiom meaning that three women are enough for a drama.)

“Alright, we should be going to the next cla.s.sroom.” Just when Du Xiao Li felt a headache coming, a crisp voice

saved her.

“Ah—Today’s cla.s.s is Teacher Feng’s!”

As soon as Teacher Feng was mentioned, the ones that were gathered around Du Xiao Li just now seemingly all ran

away, letting Du Xiao Li see the person that spoke out and saved her from the situation.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m Meng Jiang Zhuo. I heard my mother mention you before.” Meng Jiang Zhuo came up to Du Xiao Li

and said with a smile.

Meng Jiang Zhuo wasn’t especially beautiful, but she gave off a very refres.h.i.+ng and peaceful feeling. However, she

also carried some cleverness, and wasn’t the same kind of feeling as Fu Ya Lan’s composure.

“Thank you for saving me just now.” Du Xiao Li nodded in thanks towards Meng Jiang Zhuo. A child of the Meng

family that was able to attend school here, must be Imperial Tutor Meng’s daughter.

“That was nothing more than just lifting one’s finger. If one has to say thanks, it should be me thanking you instead.”

Meng Jiang Zhuo said with a smile.

“En? Jiang Zhuo, why are you thanking Xiao Li?” Ji Liu Xia asked in confusion.

“Kehkeh, nothing. Alright, let’s quickly go over too.” Meng Jiang Zhuo coughed twice and said.

Shortly, everyone all got up and walked out together. Du Xiao Li came to Fu Ya Lan’s side and said, “Really thank

you for earlier.”

“What’s there to thank about.” Fu Ya Lan lightly smiled.

“Why did everyone all run as soon as they heard it’s Teacher Feng’s cla.s.s?” Du Xiao Li asked.

“That’s because they’re all rus.h.i.+ng to sit in the front so that they can be a little closer to Teacher Feng.” Ji Liu Xia

replied.

“What kind of person is that Teacher Feng? To actually make those young ladies all disregard being reserved?”

Meng Jiang Zhuo laughed and said, “Xiao Li, you just arrived in the capital. Not knowing Teacher Feng is also

normal. That Teacher Feng is the head of the four great scholars of the capital, Feng Li Shang. He’s only twentyfour this year, and not only is he good looking, his knowledge in music theory is also very rich. Especially his zither

skills, truly great!”

(T/N: Random but Feng Li Shang’s name is rather particular—the last character in his name ‘Shang’ is a character I

don’t see much, it means ‘to die in childhood’ or ‘die at war’; his name ‘Li Shang’ can translate to ‘away from death in

childhood’, I guess I can understand why his parents might give him that name, but it’s still very hehe–)

Du Xiao Li listened to Meng Jiang Zhuo’s explanation and thought of those people leaving in a hurry just now,

feeling they must have gone to fangirl. Wasn’t it said that young ladies of ancient times were all very reserved? Why

was her understanding toppled again?

“This Teacher Feng is also very strict in cla.s.s. However, he teaches very well, and everyone all listen very earnestly,

aside from……..” Fu Ya Lan said and glanced at Ji Liu Xia, smiling without saying anything.

Du Xiao Li instantly understood her meaning.

“Sigh, I really just can’t comprehend. In my ear, those sounds just sound like random noises. Sigh, why can my

older brother be skillful in both literature and sword, yet when I see those bookish things my head just hurts!” Ji Liu

Xia said very helplessly, “Actually, I normally don’t come to cla.s.s, but I got kicked here by my older brother.

However, to be able to encounter Xiao Li is not bad either.”

As the four of them talked, they arrived at the music cla.s.sroom. Before even entering, they already heard a burst of

zither playing coming from inside. Hearing this sound, Du Xiao Li’s entire body suddenly froze.

“Every time before cla.s.s, Teacher Feng would always perform a piece for everyone to eliminate the fatigue, letting

everyone be able to single-mindedly engross themselves in his cla.s.s.” Fu Ya Lan said.

“How is it, it’s very nice right?” Meng Jiang Zhuo asked with a smile.

“En, very nice.” Du Xiao Li smiled. She stood outside the window and gazed inside, seeing at the front of the

cla.s.sroom, a white clothed, elegant and handsome man playing the zither. The other students all intoxicated by his

playing.

Others perhaps couldn’t tell from hearing, but she immediately sensed the power contained in the zither sound. This

indeed can eliminate fatigue, because Feng Li Shang was using sound force while playing!

Why did he know sound force? Who is he? Why was he here?

All the way until the piece finished, Du Xiao Li was still staring at Feng Li Shang. Suddenly, Feng Li Shang gazed

over towards her, with faint confusion in his eyes.

“Xiao Li, let’s go in.” Fu Ya Lan gave Du Xiao Li a shove and walked into the cla.s.sroom.

“This must be the new student that came today?” Feng Li Shang looked to Du Xiao Li and asked.

“Yes, Teacher Feng, I’m Du Xiao Li.” Du Xiao Li bowed towards Feng Li Shang as she replied.

“En, you can just randomly find a seat to sit.” Feng Li Shang’s voice was very pleasant to hear, but his att.i.tude was

instead very indifferent.

Although the seating was rather casual, everyone still had a fixed order. For instance, the members of the imperial

family naturally sat in the front, and second to them was lined according to official rank. However, Ji Liu Xia

dragged Du Xiao Li to sit in the back of the cla.s.sroom.

“Next, let’s begin cla.s.s. Today, we’ll be learning a new piece. This piece’s music score has already been pa.s.sed to

your seats. The relatively difficult parts inside have already been specially marked. This piece’s finger technique is

rather difficult. I will perform it once for everyone first……..” Feng Li Shang finished saying, and then began

performing.
