Chapter 54 Panic
Ye Jinshu is very panicked now.

For some reason, things were a little different from what she thought.

According to Ye Jinshu's initial guess, even if she would not suffer any physical pain by taking people out to beat up Princess Zhaoyang's favorite daughter, she would definitely be scolded, put in solitary confinement, and punished to copy books when she returned.

But she didn't expect that when she found the emperor and empress to admit her mistake, the two of them didn't scold her at all. They even kept looking at her with pity in their eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Even the prince didn't say a word to her.

You know, Chu Yi loved nagging her the most in the past. He would relate the smallest matters to her status as the Crown Princess. He just wanted her not to do anything that would be beneath her status.

But she had done such an outrageous thing today, but Chu Yi still said nothing.

He just sat below the Emperor and Empress, drinking tea and secretly looking at this side.

Yes, Ye Jinshu discovered that Chu Yi was secretly watching her! She didn't know what bad intentions he had.

While the emperor and empress were both there, Ye Jinshu was extremely bold. She was even able to tease the prince in front of them.

"Aunt, why is the prince looking at me with such scary eyes?"

The implication is, aunt, please tell him about it!

In the past, whenever Ye Jinshu said this, no matter if it was the prince’s fault or not, the prince would be criticized. Not only the prince, but also other princesses and princes were treated the same way.

To a certain extent, the rumor in the palace that the status of princesses and princes is not as good as that of county princesses is not without reason.

This is also the reason why the Fifth Prince wants to continue to be protected by Ye Jinshu no matter what.

Anyone Ye Jinshu likes will not have a bad life in the palace. After all, whoever she likes is also what the emperor and empress like.

However, the Queen did not stand by Ye Jinshu unconditionally this time. Instead, she said with a hint of meaning: "Yier is just worried about you. He has spent a lot of effort to see you these days."

As the queen spoke, she looked at Chu Yi, her face full of smiles that said, "Don't say that I, as a mother, didn't help you."

Chu Yi was immediately delighted.

As soon as Ye Jinshu came back, he went straight to the Emperor and the Empress. Chu Yi didn't know how to interrupt and could only watch the three of them having fun, while he still had to maintain the so-called dignity of the Crown Prince.

Chu Yi suddenly thought, is it because he is always so boring that Jinshu suddenly stopped looking at him?

And what about that story-telling gentleman?
He wanted to see it.

Chu Yi reached his hand into his sleeve and held the Anping Palace farming test paper that he had spent a lot of time and effort to answer after looking up the book.

Handing in this test paper meant that he, as the crown prince, had surrendered.

Who knows what the palace people will say about him in the future.

Chu Yi could actually guess it.

Perhaps it would be said that the prince also has to bow to the princess in the palace.

Perhaps it could be said that the prince's doing this for a woman was beneath his dignity.

Perhaps one could say that the prince had lost his mind.

For Chu Yi, this is his life.

Things that other people can do casually, he has to think twice before doing when he encounters them.

But even so, Chu Yi hesitated for only a moment before taking out the item from his sleeve. "Jinshu, you said that I can't enter Anping Palace, but if I want to help you, maybe I can go in?" Chu Yi said as he handed Ye Jinshu the farming test paper he got from Anping Palace that day.

Ye Jinshu didn't know what it was at first, until she took it and opened it, and then she found that it was the question about farming that she had specifically asked Ji Yanqing to come up with.

The questions on each test paper that Ji Yanqing handed out were different. The one Chu Yi took was about rice.

A test paper was covered with densely packed words in the prince's unique and neat handwriting.

Different from Ji Yanqing's somewhat casual style, every word Chu Yi wrote was the same size and neatly arranged, and was restrained by his own writing style, just like him.

There was a huge difference in the handwriting between the two, and Ye Jinshu could easily tell what the prince had written.

To be honest, many of the questions asked by Ji Yanqing were not clearly worded. When Ye Jinshu looked at them before, he had no idea what Ji Yanqing wanted to express in many of the questions.

But Ji Yanqing said that he did it on purpose. There were always a few questions in the test that required more thinking to answer, and there were also some questions that most people couldn't answer even if they used their brains.

This is the case with the test paper Chu Yi got now.

Question 1: What are the parts of rice’s life cycle?
If Ye Jinshu were to answer this question, she would say, sprout, grow, be harvested, and be eaten.

However, Chu Yi accurately answered the correct answers given by Ji Yanqing at that time: the rice seedling stage, the early stage of field cultivation, the early stage of dividing and pulling out, the heading stage, and the maturity stage.

Question 2: What are the common diseases of rice?
Chu Yi: Rice blast and rice stripe disease.

As Ye Jinshu read, his eyes gradually brightened.

Chu Yi answered every question very seriously. He even gave comments on some of Ji Yanqing's questions, pointing out the inaccuracies in the questions.

Ye Jinshu was delighted at first. Chu Yi had always been smart. If he really studied hard how to farm, he would have a very capable helper in farming in the future.

But this is just an idealized situation. Is it possible for a prince like her to help her farm?
That must be impossible.

He said that he was helping her farm, but in fact, this was just a means for Chu Yi to enter Anping Palace. Chu Yi must want to find a chance to bully poor Ji Yanqing after entering Anping Palace!
Ye Jinshu claimed that she had guessed the truth, but she could not have imagined that Chu Yi's purpose was to enter Anping Palace, but his real target was Ye Jinshu, not Ji Yanqing.

In Chu Yi's opinion, Ji Yanqing was just a commoner. No matter how much Ye Jinshu liked him, as long as he talked to his father and mother, it would be a problem that could be solved with just his mouth.

The real difficulty is to make Ye Jinshu change his mind.

"Why do you have this expression, Jinshu? Was it because I didn't answer well?" Although Chu Yi asked this, there was no worry on his face at all.

He clearly thought his answer was good enough and was forcing Ye Jinshu to speak in front of the Emperor and Empress.

Ye Jinshu could actually have the audacity to say that the prince's answer was not good. After all, this was a question from her, Anping Palace, and the answer should be decided by them, Anping Palace.

But she felt that she had become extra smarter after exercising today, so she thought about it more.

This thought really gave her some ideas.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Although with her current abilities she still couldn't guess what the immature prince was thinking, Ji Yanqing was very smart!

If the prince was put into Anping Palace and Ji Yanqing was allowed to see him, she would know what the prince was planning!

And Ji Yanqing is very smart!
