Chapter 311: Chapter 311: The Emperor Escorts the Princess to School?
Spring has arrived, and Mingyang Academy has reopened.
After replacing a batch of teachers, on the first day of class, Bai Xilie decided to skip the morning court session once.
He wanted to personally take his daughter to class.
To prevent any incident where someone might dare to bully his beloved daughter.
However, the news that the Emperor canceled a morning session for the Princess had already spread.
As Bai Xilie led Bai Zhi’er off the carriage and into Mingyang Academy.
He found that almost every student’s father had come along.
Those ministers who were supposed to be at the morning court session had all gathered at Mingyang Academy.
Bai Xilie held the little one and furrowed his handsome eyebrows: "All the beloved ministers are here too?"
The officials immediately led their children and respectfully bowed to Bai Xilie and Bai Zhi’er.
Wen Aiqing, as the Prime Minister, was the first to step out and explain.
"Your Majesty, we believe that as you personally bring the Princess to class, it is to lead by example and show Her Highness that even the Emperor must be diligent in learning."
"With Your Majesty’s serious dedication, we of course should follow suit."
Bai Xilie had a serious expression.
When did he ever think this way?
He just wanted to see if there was anyone foolish enough to bully his daughter!
If there was, they’d be dealt with on the spot.
Bai Xilie didn’t speak, being at a loss for words.
But Bai Zhi’er in his arms had a sweet and charming smile.
Today she was wearing a light green little dress, like a lovely and vivacious lotus.
"Hello uncles!" The little one, in her father’s arms, didn’t forget to elegantly lift her little skirt.
All the ministers hurriedly bowed: "Long live the Princess."
Bai Xilie’s gaze swept over the crowd, both speechless and helpless.
He could only wave his hand: "After sending your children off, go back. Mingyang Academy can’t accommodate all of you."
The officials immediately complied, secretly instructing their children to remember Princess Cuicuo’s appearance clearly and be sure not to offend her again.
At this point, the scene became particularly bustling.
Bai Xilie hugged Bai Zhi’er, planning to take her to her classroom.
However, he saw Historian Wang smiling from a distance.
Bai Xilie was puzzled: "Historian Wang, why are you here too? I remember you have no offspring?"
Historian Wang’s smiling eyes never left Bai Zhi’er.
The little princess only got more beautiful with each look.
Thus, he looked at Bai Zhi’er while responding to Bai Xilie’s words.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard my colleagues were all coming, so I came to take a look."
Bai Xilie said sternly: "There’s nothing worth seeing, hurry back, don’t join in the bustle!"
"Yes."
Bai Xilie walked off holding Bai Zhi’er, and the little one didn’t forget to wave at Historian Wang: "Uncle Historian, Zhi’er is going to school now, goodbye!"
Historian Wang’s heart was almost melted.
He waited eagerly until he could no longer see the father and daughter’s figures, then excitedly took out paper and pen to note down—
The Emperor, inspired by Princess Cuicuo, personally went to Mingyang Academy, revitalizing this once devastated teaching ground of the sages!
In the classroom, Bai Zhi’er said: "Papa, you should return to the palace to attend to your duties, no need to see me off."
Bai Xilie, full of fatherly affection, smiled and said: "Papa has no court duties this morning, I’ll stay here with you for a while before I leave."
As he spoke, he waved, and Eunuch Quan Xi, standing at the door, immediately brought up a food box.
"Zhi’er, Papa has prepared for you, your favorite milk cake, have a taste."
