"Who is she?"

The young man walking into the garden not only discovered Ya Yi slacking off but also noticed the national beauty, Tanki Liuli, sitting beside her.

"Brother."

Ya Yi, who was lost in thought, quickly stood up.

Although their exchange reverted to their native language, the fact that this equally unremarkable young man could move freely within the palace indicated his distinguished identity.

Jiang Chen sized up the person in front of him.

"Prince Wataru Tetsuya."

Koda Kaoru quietly commented as she looked over there, seemingly talking to herself, but Jiang Chen clearly understood her considerate nature.

Prince?

Indeed, the great palace lives up to its name, truly devoid of commoners.

"Also a descendant of the royal family?"

"Just like Her Highness the Princess, he's a direct member of the royal lineage."

Koda Kaoru nodded, naturally unable to discuss respecting the teacher anymore, and walked to her appropriate position.

"Prince His Highness."

She greeted with a smile.

Jiang Chen followed behind her.

"I told you, Teacher Xiang Tian, just call me Wataru Tetsuya."

This generation of the royal descendants seems to have a very good character; this Dongying prince and his sister, Princess Ya Yi, are both approachable and humble.

Although elusive and intangible, presence unquestionably serves its role, with a warm and graceful smile on his face, it aptly made up for this prince's ordinary looks.

Honestly, speaking completely objectively and fairly, though they are about the same age, evaluating by looks, even if three streets wouldn't suffice, the never-relying-on-his-looks Boss Jiang could at least outshine this prince by two streets.

"This is Mr. Jiang Chen, a friend from Shenzhou..."

"Brother, Mr. Jiang and his friends were invited in by Teacher Xiang Tian at my request. They are people of Shenzhou, and communicating with Mr. Jiang can effectively enhance my understanding and learning of Shenzhou culture."

Just as Koda Kaoru was about to explain, the little Princess Ya Yi, around eight or nine years old, unexpectedly grabbed her teacher's speaking rights in an uncharacteristic manner.

Even a fool would know, this isn't acting spoiled and arrogant, but rather taking the fall for Teacher Xiang Tian.

Without comparisons, there would be no harm, Boss Jiang truly represents all-around development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor aspects. However, in terms of respecting the teacher, he's surely still outmatched by this eight or nine-year-old girl.

Sometimes, children possess quite a few qualities adults can learn from.

It's a bit strange that compared to the previous ease, when facing this relative, Princess Ya Yi seemed a touch more restrained, even nervous.

However, it's understandable.

Often when facing outsiders, people are more likely to let go of their burdens.

Whereas, within the royal family, the solemnity that's been woven throughout Shenzhou's five thousand years of history has vividly demonstrated itself.

"I see."

Not every Dongying person has a profound mastery of Shenzhou culture, but Jiang Chen understood these few words.

"Mr. Jiang, hello, I'm Wataru Tetsuya, very pleased that you are visiting the Imperial Palace."

Compared to the Dongying populace, the attitude of the Dongying Imperial Family truly embodies a refreshing breeze.

Koda Kaoru was acting as a temporary interpreter.

"Please tell him I'm also very pleased."

Jiang Chen simply said, not blaming him, as he simply had no experience dealing with royalty.

In such situations, of course, Koda Kaoru wouldn't quibble over minor details, speaking with the young prince in Japanese.

"Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Jiang."

Wataru Tetsuya placed his hand on his sister's shoulder, a deeply curved yet very tender tableau, though somehow it seemed a bit peculiar.

Found the reason.

Perhaps it was because Princess Ya Yi's back was too rigid.

Everyone else was standing, only Tanki Liuli remained calmly seated, seemingly disregarding a potential successor to the future Emperor.

Fortunately, Boss Jiang is adept in social interactions.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, please stay for dinner with Mr. Jiang tonight."

Wataru Tetsuya extended an invitation.

"Prince His Highness is inviting you to stay for dinner."

Clearly, it wasn't solely Jiang Chen's response they needed, but Koda Kaoru still translated it instantly.

"There's no need to stay for a meal..."

Jiang Chen responded without hesitation, even though dining with genuine royal family members was extremely rare, and filming a video of it would certainly go viral, yet Boss Jiang wasn't particularly interested.

Eating at the palace would definitely mean Japanese cuisine, which the Taoist nun sister is unaccustomed to.

Jiang Chen merely expressed his stance; behind it were more customary words, but it seems Koda Kaoru didn't actually need to hear them, or only needed to see his lips move.

"Prince His Highness, Mr. Jiang Chen already has plans for the evening."

Koda Kaoru translated.

Wataru Tetsuya showed a hint of regret, then spoke expectantly, "What about Teacher Xiang Tian?"

He placed his arm around his sister's shoulder, "After teaching Ya Yi for so long, Teacher Xiang Tian hasn't stayed in the Imperial Palace for a meal yet."

Clearly.

This must not be his first invitation.

"Ya Yi, don't you want to thank Teacher Xiang Tian too?"

Had the little princess echoed her brother, Teacher Xiang Tian might have found it hard to refuse, yet the young girl unexpectedly spoke, "Brother, Teacher Xiang Tian has been very busy lately and has to leave right after class."

Koda Kaoru silently watched the little girl.

"Oh, is that so."

Being from the royal family, it wouldn't be proper to aggressively pry into someone's private life, so this Prince Wataru Tetsuya, approximately the same height as Koda Kaoru, could only gently sigh, "Then it will have to wait until later."

You should know, Koda Kaoru's legs, encased in black stockings, were only resting on a pair of flat shoes.

The cultivation of the Dongying Imperial Family is commendable, but their genes... indeed need improvement.

"Won't disturb your class anymore."

Wataru Tetsuya didn't linger long, releasing the hand on his sister's shoulder, and upon leaving, didn't forget to bid farewell to Jiang Chen.
