chapter 699: chapter 699: where does fairness come from?

though the requirement is for selecting studying companions for princess ruto, it is actually for his majesty to designate marriages and choose princess consort for the fourth, fifth, and seventh princes.

“well…that is indeed a pity.”

liu sisi agreed, but deep down, she suddenly realized.

so, the person who targeted thirteenth luo didn’t want her to attend this grand event!

just think about it, prince luo, after all, is an ethnically different prince and holds a vast army of several hundreds of thousands. if prince luo’s daughter were to marry a prince…no matter which prince she married, it would only add more strength to him. as a result, thirteenth luo suffered this undeserved calamity.

however, these are liu sisi’s speculations, and she knows nothing about the truth of the matter.

liu sisi suddenly thought of a question: “you haven’t come of age yet, have you?”

thirteenth luo nodded, her beautiful eyes showed no concern: “thirteenth is only twelve years old this year, three years away from coming of age.”

that’s right, she hadn’t reached the age of rituals. those people just acted directly, probably with the thought of “rather wrong than let go”.

“well, you are still young, so relax and have fun for a few years.” once married, there will be no chance to play.

“thank you for your concern, aunt liu. thirteenth understands.”

for the following days, old he would come every morning, noon, and evening to change the medicine for thirteenth luo’s eyes, and then cover them with gauze. she had never stopped taking the soup medicine internally.

in order to facilitate treatment, thirteenth luo stayed directly at the di residence.

although the di residence’s area isn’t very large, it has been more than half a year since it last rained, and it’s especially stuffy in the golden august of autumn. the coolest places in the di residence are near the waterside pavilion. for this reason, liu sisi specially assigned thirteenth luo a small courtyard next to the waterside pavilion.

lately, liu sisi had been very busy too.

according to local customs, after the golden august, it is the best time for autumn admission.

although several of the teachers from the liu family presided over enrollment, liu sisi was also busy preparing for the start of school.

what she yearned for, however, was the old teacher in the village school. this old teacher was famous far and near. countless students traveled thousands of miles to pay their respects to him. even di xuan and zhang yun could not forget him; she was determined to get the old teacher. she had been to the village school two days in a row, but without even seeing the old teacher’s face, she was directly stopped outside.

but liu sisi wasn’t annoyed. if he were that easily invited, he would not have been dwelling in this place all these years.

on the official road outside the territory of macheng county.

several fast horses galloped towards them head-on. the one at the forefront sped side by side with another fast horse, turning into a wisp of green smoke in no time. in a flash, they quickly approached from the edge of the vision and quickly passed in front of them, disappearing at the end of the line of sight.

the several horses galloped freely until they reached the border post of macheng county. the two horses that had been racing in front finally pulled their reins and stopped.

“hoo! –”

the horses raised their front hooves and neighed twice before standing still.

nan tianzong and di yelei each smiled, jumping off their horsebacks.

“how about it? my horsemanship is not bad, right?”

nan tianzong was full of pride.
