After nearly four months of hard study, Zhu Qingmei was finally able to use Korean freely.

Such progress surprised the Nine Princes and the Princess.

Although they did not support her learning the language at first, they no longer objected to her remarkable results. At present, the ninth prince often asks acquaintances from all over the world to find books in Korean for her.

However, since bookstores in various regions rarely get Korean books, she has very few Korean books on hand.

Mastering a language is like getting a key to a new world, and it is inevitable that people will want to go in and find out, so Zhu Qingmei has to retreat with limited resources - she began to try to translate books in her Chinese language into Korean.

In the process of translating, she suddenly had the idea of translating Confucius's "Analects" into Korean and giving it to the king of Korea when he visited next spring.

Such an idea from the mouth of a fourteen-year-old girl seemed a bit arrogant, so she was not very sure of the emperor's opinion on the matter, so she asked the ninth prince to help consult the emperor's opinion.

When the emperor learned about it, he said happily: "Okay, then let's try it." ”

It's not a bad thing to let more people know about the Analects.

So Zhu Qingmei's life became busier.

There had never been a moment like her now, and she wanted Li Jing to see a more intelligent, profound and elegant self.

Since she didn't like to study before, her Chinese skills were very poor, and in order to be able to express the meaning of the Analects in preparation, she took the initiative to learn Chinese for an hour every day.

Except for her and Yan Jinxuan, no one knew the source of her motivation, so everyone only thought that she loved this language, so they didn't think much about it.

On this day, Zhu Qingmei, who was concentrating on translating in the study, was distracted by a letter handed to her by Shangguan's grandmother.

This is a letter written by the second prince of Joseon.

It was handed over to Zhu Qingmei by a strange man through Shangguan Mama.

Shangguan Mama is the most trusted person around Zhu Qingmei.

"The man said that he had a relative who was on an errand in the border and that the relative happened to know a maid from the Joseon Imperial Palace, so the second prince wrote to you quietly in this way. The man also said, "If you have a letter to pass on to the second prince, you can find him." Mama whispered, quietly handing her the address the man had left behind.

Zhu Qingmei looked at Shangguan Mama in disbelief.

How is this possible?

Will Li Jing really write to her?

In any case, curiosity made her tremble and open his letter: You must be very strange about this letter from me. I think it took the greatest courage of my life to give it to the messenger, but I did not feel the slightest shame for it, and even if all other sensitive speculations aside, it was enough for me to take up the pen and write it just to thank you for your friendship with me in the spring. I don't know what you're going to think of this letter, so I'm very apprehensive. The messenger was a palace maid. She promised that the letter would definitely reach you safely, so I decided to take a chance. Before writing this letter, I talked to the queen mother about you, and it happened that the queen mother also said that she liked you very much and supported me in contacting you, so my concerns here were basically eliminated.

Autumn in Seoul is a world of red maple leaves, and when I walk on the streets of the city, I am often attracted by its beauty, and if I walk through the suburbs at this time, I will be deeply shocked by the red of the mountains, which is so incomparably gorgeous, it reminds me of you.

I heard you were learning Korean. I'm also studying Chinese seriously now......"

The letter is five pages long.

Zhu Qingmei looked very slowly, for fear that she would miss a word.

After reading it, Zhu Qingmei told Shangguan Mama: "Don't let the prince and princess know about this matter." ”

"Don't worry, the little one won't reveal half a word to the outside world."

"Check out this messenger for me, and see what he's up to and if he's credible." Zhu Qingmei said again.

Mama Shangguan immediately received the order to act.

Half a day later, Shangguan's grandmother reported back: "It is a post post, and there is an old mother, a wife and two sons at home. ”

Since he was a post post, and sending letters was his serious business, then she didn't have to worry too much, so she wrote a reply to Li Jing that night.

Although Zhu Qingmei is an enthusiastic person, because it is the first time to write a letter to the person she likes, her words are also extremely subtle and restrained.

She also spoke eloquently. Before you know it, five pages are full.

The next morning, she paid the trust to Shangguan's grandmother and went to find the post.

Now, she plans to keep correspondence with Li Jing first, and then make the next step after finding out each other's intentions.

But no matter what, she has to make sure of each other's hearts next year, because once she has a peace ceremony, she will have to marry into the Yan family.

As soon as she thought of the relationship between her and Yan Jinxuan as if they were two strangers, she frowned. But if Li Jing is really willing to marry her. So how should she talk to Yan Jinxuan?

Will he agree or disagree?

She really couldn't grasp his attitude, because he had always been calm and polite, and she never knew what he was thinking.

There are also the princes and princesses, they will definitely oppose it, because this is a matter of integrity, and her doing so will destroy the friendship between the Yan and Zhu families for nearly twenty years. And it will make Yan Jinxuan very faceless in the Shilin circle.

If she marries into the Yan family according to everyone's wishes, it is undoubtedly a matter of course, and she doesn't have to bother to deal with the problems she is suffering about now, but at that time, as the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, will she feel happy and happy? The answer is no.

She kept thinking and pondering, and finally made up her mind to find an opportunity to talk to him about this matter and see his attitude after Yan Jinxuan returned to Beijing.

She knew that although Yan Jinxuan was elusive, he was not a narrow-minded person, so she believed that he would not do anything inappropriate about it. She decided to discuss it and apologize to him personally if necessary, and if he was willing to break the engagement, it would be half the battle.

So be it. She said to herself.

In the dead of night, she thought about the bits and pieces when she got along with Li Jing, and remembered the communication channels she got now, and she felt that God treated her well. When she was very young, she felt that she was going to be a princess in the future, just like her own mother, living a noble and dazzling life, and she even longed for that kind of life countless times.

However, if you marry into the Yan family, you have to marry and teach children like other women in the house, and you have to look at your mother-in-law's face, which is the kind of life she doesn't want to live the most. After all, she has been used to being served since she was a child.

Now that she has encountered a good opportunity to be a princess, and the other party is the person she likes, she naturally has to take advantage of it. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming. Thank you for the monthly vote of 8.1.3.3.2.6.6.9, thank you for your continued support and attention, Momoda! The next chapter is around 11-12 o'clock. Another: The North Korea written by the author Jun here is borrowed from the Joseon Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty, not the current Joseon, and only draws on a historical background, and the story is purely fictional, so I would like to explain it.
