Chapter 248 The Empress's Assistance

Of course she knew her son wanted to find Tian Tian, ​​but in the past few days, Tian Tian had been busy making preparations and running around everywhere. How could he possibly find her?

It's better to wait here; Tian Tian will eventually go home anyway.

He was still thinking of leaving, completely unaware of her motherly intentions.

Ling Yao quickly stood up and heated up some tea for Lu Tao.

Lu Tao was also embarrassed. "Thank you, Your Highness."

When Tian Tian returned, she saw a scene that was both awkward and inexplicably harmonious among the group.

"Sweetie, you're back." Empress Li saw Tian Tian immediately.

And then they saw the small box Tian Tian was carrying. "Why are you carrying so many things? Yao'er, quick, go help Tian Tian."

"Go quickly."

Son, you have some sense.

Ling Yao glanced gratefully at Empress Li, then got up and caught up with Tian Tian.

"Sweetie, I'm coming."

Without any hesitation, Tian Tian handed him the small box in her hand.

This box contains account books sent by shops in various counties; I need to finish reviewing them before heading to the capital.

Tian Tian was quietly looking at the account books in her study, while Ling Yao was keeping her company.

He didn't say anything, just stayed quiet, so much so that Tian Tian quickly forgot he was there.

Ling Yao quietly watched Tian Tian...

She sat at her desk, head down, pen in one hand and flipping through account books with the other.

Sunlight streamed in through the window lattice, gilding her dark hair with a golden edge.

Her eyelashes were long, casting small shadows on her face, and fluttering gently with each blink.

When she encountered something complicated, she would unconsciously bite her lower lip, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks, which made her look particularly adorable.

Ling Yao found himself unable to look away...

Her profile features soft lines, shedding the naivety of a young girl and gaining a touch of gentleness.

The hand holding the pen was fair and slender, with neatly trimmed nails, and the fingertips were slightly white from the pressure.

The wrist bone was clearly visible when the sleeve slipped down.

His heart suddenly clenched; she was too thin.

Tian Tian seemed to have encountered some problem. She clicked her tongue softly and rubbed her temples.

This action made Ling Yao subconsciously want to stand up and go over to see, but he forcibly restrained himself.

As the sun began to set in the west, Tian Tian finally closed her ledger, stretched, and gave a relieved smile.

That smile made Ling Yao's heart skip a beat.

"Huh, you're still here?" Tian Tian was slightly surprised to see Ling Yao still in the room.

Ling Yao smiled, "Yes..."

Tian Tian awkwardly touched the small braid hanging in front of her and glanced outside.

It was already dinnertime. "Let's go have dinner together."

"Ah good."

Ever since Tian Jinghe learned that he was going to the capital, he had been asking endless questions and talking non-stop every evening at dinner time.

Previously, he only asked Empress Li, and Empress Li indulged him, responding to every question.

Since Ling Yao was around today, Tian Jinghe clung to him the whole time.

"Brother Ling, are the schools in the capital better than our county school?" Tian Jinghe asked.

Ling Yao was taken aback; this was indeed a difficult question to answer.

It's true that the teachers at the capital's schools are better than those in Baishi County, but... the capital's schools can't be heated in winter and cooled in summer.

"The schools in the capital...are more competitive and stressful."

From another perspective, Ling Yao answered like this.

The schools under the emperor's nose were for the children of nobles, all of whom had received excellent educations, making the competition extremely fierce.

"When you arrive in the capital, your brother Ling will take you to see the various schools."

Tian Jinghe's eyes lit up, "Really?!"

"of course it's true."

Lu Tao was utterly exasperated. "What do you want to see at the school?"

Tian Jing, despite his young age, turned his head and said with great interest, "Of course I want to see how the students in the capital study. I want to learn from them."

Confucius said, "There are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."

"Learning is endless, and anyone who is better than us can be our teacher."

“The students in the capital are definitely better than me, so of course I have to go and ask them for advice.”
