Chapter 324 Yuehuayuan, Take Down
Chapter 324 Yuehuayuan, Take Down
Meng Yao took a deep breath and vented all her anger on Li Ze.
"You usually pretend to be noble and upright, but in fact you are very good at changing your attitude according to the situation. If you are so noble, why didn't you say a word when the emperor asked us to go to military training just now? If I were to say, you are a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong, just like those other innocent girls!"
Most of the people in Xinglan Academy were fans of Li Ze. When they heard Meng Yao say that, they immediately became unhappy. Among them was Ye Ruzhen, who shouted at the top of her voice,
"Mr. Li is not that kind of person!"
The rest of the people also spoke up to defend Li Ze, while Jiang Tunan, who was standing aside, had been a little stunned since Meng Yao's sudden change of expression. Although she didn't know why Meng Yao suddenly spoke up for her, she knew that if she didn't say something at this moment, these people would continue to make trouble.
"What is there to argue about? The emperor has already issued an order, so those of you who are dissatisfied should go and discuss it with the emperor in person. What's the point of being so arrogant?"
Baili Hong stepped forward with a cold face and said sternly,
"You're the one who made everyone from the other three branches go to the suburbs with you."
Jiang Tunan said with a smile,
"Why is it that the eldest prince only cares about the other three branches going to the suburbs, and is so ruthless when he orders our Xiyun Court to go and work with them?"
Jiang Tunan pretended to be enlightened.
"Oh~ I get it. Does the eldest prince care about the other three courts, or does he only care about one person?"
Su Xiaoxiao's face had flushed red. She knew that the eldest prince was a little too good to her, but she thought it was just a good relationship between brother and sister. When Jiang Tunan said this, it made it seem as if there was something between her and the eldest prince.
But Baili Hong spoke without caring at all.
"That's right. My two cousins have to go to the suburbs to suffer because of you. Can't I be angry for them?"
Su Lanlan in the distance snorted disdainfully. Only at this time did Baili Hong remember that she was also his cousin. Why didn't he remember that he was also his cousin when he said bad things about her for Su Xiaoxiao on weekdays?
"Miss Jiang, I don't know how I have offended you that you are targeting me like this..."
Su Xiaoxiao spoke with red eyes. There were many students in the Chrysanthemum and Plum Courtyards who were close to Su Xiaoxiao. Seeing this scene, they all started to condemn Jiang Tunan.
"Miss Jiang, what you said is too much. The eldest prince was just speaking a fair word for his cousin. Why do you have to say such hurtful things?"
"Didn't Fourth Young Master Xiao speak for you in front of the Emperor just now? Could it be that there is something going on between you and Fourth Young Master Xiao?"
"Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison."
The people in Chrysanthemum Court had been taught arithmetic by Jiang Tunan before, so they still had some good feelings towards Jiang Tunan, so they did not speak as aggressively as the people in Plum Courtyard.
“I think there might be a misunderstanding here.”
"In fact, Miss Jiang and Miss Su Er just have different personalities. They are both good people."
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's teasing look, Jiang Tunan became more serious. Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be using public opinion to pressure her, so she would not compromise easily.
"Cry, cry, cry. You cry at every turn. I told you to stop me, but you just jumped out. How can I stop you if you want to take it personally? I see that you have paranoid delusions all day long. You think everyone you see is targeting you, right?"
"I didn't mention any names at all, but Miss Su II threw a huge bucket of dirty water at me..."
Jiang Tunan was about to cry as he spoke.
"I understand. Miss Su has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the eldest prince has the support of the Queen. You just think that I am an orphan who is helpless and easy to bully..."
Jiang Tunan pretended to turn his head away in discomfort, but in fact he was fanning his eyes desperately behind his back, and finally squeezed out a few tears. Meng Jingchen's mouth twitched when he saw Jiang Tunan's little action. He really couldn't understand how a person's emotions could change so much.
Xiao Mingrui had already stepped forward and cooperated with Jiang Tunan.
"Don't cry, cousin. It's the Xiao family that can't protect you, so you are always being bullied."
Jiang Tunan secretly gave Xiao Mingrui a thumbs up, and then cried out,
"Miss Su and the First Prince are both of noble status, how could they take someone like me seriously? Unlike the Second Prince, he even spoke well of me a few times. When the military training incident came out, the Second Prince didn't blame me at all, so why is the First Prince so excited?"
"Ah, I didn't mean to compare the two princes, please don't misunderstand..."
Everyone: It would be fine if you didn’t say it. Once you say it, everyone will know what you mean.
Baili Hao was originally planning to watch the show, but Jiang Tunan praised him highly. Now he could only speak up.
"Brother, why do you keep making things difficult for Miss Jiang? You were the one who started this whole thing."
Baili Hong got angry when he saw Baili Hao's hypocritical face.
"What does it have to do with you? Just stay aside!"
The more excited Baili Hong was, the happier Baili Hao was. He took the opportunity to join in the fun and said,
"Miss Jiang is the female corps captain appointed by my father himself. You are offending my father by making things difficult for her. If my father knew..."
Jiang Tunan immediately waved his hand.
"No, no, I will never tell His Majesty that the eldest prince deliberately made things difficult for me, nor will I say that it was the eldest prince who forced me to ask His Majesty to cancel the military training, and I will not say that the eldest prince always bullies others by taking advantage of his power. Don't worry, I won't say anything!"
Baili Hong: ....
Baili Hong looked at Jiang Tunan angrily, but was more speechless. How could this man use such cowardly words to threaten others?
"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you, but you are the captain appointed by my father himself, so you have to convince others. You should first get most of the women in the women's academy to agree to go for military training."
Jiang Tunan was puzzled.
"You make it sound as if the emperor will withdraw his order if everyone disagrees."
Baili Hong choked up. It was true, but he just wanted to make Jiang Tunan unhappy.
"Although it was appointed by the Emperor, if you don't gain everyone's trust, it will be useless for you to be the Captain. Then I will have no choice but to ask the Emperor for a replacement."
"Okay, go ahead."
It seemed as if Jiang Tunan was very willing to be the sergeant.
"Anyway, you have to make everyone go to military training willingly. This is your responsibility. Otherwise, you are derelict in your duty! You will be punished!"
Baili Hong's cognition was once again refreshed by Jiang Tunan's roguery, and he was almost losing his mind.
"Hey, you're anxious, you're anxious."
Jiang Tunan covered his mouth and laughed secretly. This look undoubtedly ignited Baili Hong's anger.
"Jiang Tunan!"
Jiang Tunan choked up as he approached the Second Prince.
"The eldest prince is so fierce. Second prince, please take me to the palace to meet him."
Baili Hao couldn't stop smiling, but he still pretended to be serious and said,
"This matter is too controversial, so let's ask our father to make the decision."
Hearing this, Baili Hong felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and his arrogance instantly disappeared.
"Otherwise, you can't be the captain of the army and not dare to do anything, right?"
Li found an opportunity and took the opportunity to speak sarcastically,
"If it weren't for the Emperor's order, I'm afraid Miss Jiang would still be ignored."
"I know, I know. I know you are going crazy with envy, Master Li."
Li clenched his fists when he heard the real story.
"Who is jealous of you?"
"Then you're broken."
"I don't!"
"Then you're just jealous."
"I'm not jealous!"
"Then why are you?"
"Because I'm broken!"
As soon as Li Ze said this, the scene fell into a deathly silence. After Xiao Mingxu reacted, he slowly clapped his hands and said,
"Mr. Li, this is a very thorough self-defense."
There were faint sounds of laughter all around. Xiao Mingrui shook his head, and a slight smile appeared between his brows.
Jiang Tunan scratched his head.
"Those of you in the women's college who don't want to go to military training, raise your hands?"
People from the other three women's courtyards looked at each other and no one raised their hands. After all, the emperor had just issued an edict, and even the eldest prince couldn't convince Jiang Tunan, so how could they dare to take the lead?
Leng Qingyan came out and spoke in dissatisfaction,
"If you ask this, aren't you forcing everyone to disobey your order? You should say this..."
Leng Qingyan turned around and faced everyone.
"Who wants to go to military training? Raise your hand."
Sure enough, no one raised their hand, but soon Ye Ruzhen and Ji Lingyue raised their hands, followed by Shangguan Ruoyi, and then everyone in Xiyun Courtyard raised their hands, and Lan Ying in Yuhua Courtyard also raised her hand, but only these people raised their hands.
"You see, most people still don't want to go."
Leng Qingyan raised her eyebrows at Jiang Tunan, as if in a provocation.
Jiang Tunan really found it incomprehensible. The emperor had clearly said in person that they should go to military training, but these people had to argue about whether everyone was willing to do this. Would it be useful if they were not willing? She didn't want to see the emperor kneel down. As long as she dared to do so, she would be dragged out and beaten in minutes.
"Then don't go. I'll go anyway."
Leng Qingyan winked at Ye Ruxuan, who immediately stepped forward.
"Jiang Tunan, although you don't want to be a sergeant, you should do your job. If you cause dissatisfaction among the people, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"
Jiang Tunan nodded. What Ye Ruxuan said made sense. Although the emperor had issued an edict, this matter was still related to her. Moreover, there were many daughters of important officials in the other three courtyards. If she offended all of them, her life in Kyoto would probably be difficult.
The black and red route would not work in ancient times, as it would be too easy to die suddenly, so she still had to find a way to appease everyone.
However, most of the girls in the school were divided into small groups, so Jiang Tunan just needed to find the central figure in the small group and persuade her.
The first one is the fifth princess Baili Yanchu, who is the leader of the largest group.
At this time, those who agreed with the military training and those who disagreed with the military training stood opposite each other, while those from the men's school were watching the fun on both sides. Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingxu walked over to Jiang Tunan and comforted him,
"If you don't want to be the captain, we will ask the emperor to change you."
Xiao Mingrui was thinking silently in his mind, it seems that he can only try it under the identity of Wen Zhu.
"Yeah, don't force yourself. At worst, let dad help."
Jiang Tunan shook his head to indicate that it was okay, then walked to Baili Yanchu.
"Is the Fifth Princess willing to go for military training?"
"This princess doesn't want to!"
As expected, Baili Yanchu rejected Jiang Tunan without hesitation. Seeing Jiang Tunan being humiliated, Leng Qingyan and Su Xiaoxiao were both happy. But the next moment, they saw Jiang Tunan suddenly approach Baili Yanchu and whispered something in her ear. Baili Yanchu's expression became hesitant.
Baili Yanchu was very disdainful of Jiang Tunan coming to persuade him, but he didn't expect Jiang Tunan to quickly whisper in his ear,
"Join the military training to unlock Mingrui's cousin's super cool military uniform. Don't miss this opportunity."
Baili Yanchu:?
Damn, I'm actually a little moved.
"If the girls don't go together, we won't be able to see each other for a long time, and it seems that the military training is not separated by gender..."
"This princess agrees."
Baili Yanchu spoke righteously.
"This is a test from my father. I will not back down."
After finishing speaking, Baili Yanchu lifted her skirt and walked towards Jiang Tunan and the others with a righteous look.
Leng Qingyan: ???
No one knew what Jiang Tunan said to make the Fifth Princess change her mind so quickly. They only saw Jiang Tunan blinking at Xiao Mingrui, and Xiao Mingrui immediately had a bad premonition.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Do you want me to go alone?"
Baili Yanchu spoke in dissatisfaction, and her followers in Yuehua Courtyard came over belatedly.
So Jiang Tunan quickly shifted his next target to the fourth princesses Baili Yanxi and Su Lanlan. After dealing with these two people, most of the people in Yuehua Court were also dealt with.
When Jiang Tunan approached Baili Yanxi, he was stunned. Wasn't this the reader who had replied to the letter in Mozhuxuan before? She was actually the fourth princess.
Jiang Tunan was secretly happy, it seemed that God was helping her.
After seeing Jiang Tunan coming over, Baili Yanxi was stunned for a moment, then he spoke softly,
"This princess wants to see how you persuade me."
Baili Yanxi didn't mean to make things difficult for him. She just wanted to see what abilities Jiang Tunan had that earned the appreciation of her father.
"Fourth Princess, I know a few friends who can get the internal script of Mozhuxuan."
Baili Yanxi was shocked. How did Jiang Tunan know that?
"I happened to see the storybook in your bookcase during class. I also like Mozhuxuan's books."
Jiang Tunan explained softly, and Baili Yanxi regained his normal look.
"The storyteller I like hasn't published a new story for a while. I don't even like to read his stories."
Jiang Tunan felt a little guilty. She had indeed been lazy during this period, so she explained.
"You are talking about the writer of "The Domineering Prince Fell in Love with Me", right? I know her. She is currently working on a new book, but I will give you the first few chapters first."
"Really?"
Baili Yanxi's eyes were filled with anticipation, and Jiang Tunan nodded affirmatively.
"Realer than real gold."
She started writing as soon as she got home.
"Well, I'll help you with this."
Baili Yanxi smiled gently, then raised his voice and said,
"This princess also agrees to go to military training."
Su Lanlan saw Jiang Tunan and Baili Yanxi whispering to each other for a while, and then Baili Yanxi agreed.
"Princess, you..."
Baili Yanxi held Su Lanlan's hand.
"Lanlan, there's nothing wrong with going to military training. I feel bored staying in this girls' school every day, so I might as well take this opportunity to go out and relax."
Seeing Baili Yanxi was so persistent, Su Lanlan couldn't refuse. She didn't have a big opinion about Jiang Tunan. On the contrary, because Jiang Tunan occasionally went against Su Xiaoxiao and let her vent her anger, she followed Baili Yanxi and walked to the other side.
Most of the people in Yuehua Court saw that the two princesses agreed, so they didn't want to remain in a stalemate and walked over one after another. Meng Yao also hurried over after seeing her brother's gesture to her.
At this point, Jiang Tunan has already taken control of Yuehuayuan.
