Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 299 - 298: When Three Walk Together, One Can Be My Teacher

"I’m giving this to you now. If you get bullied over there, you can take it to report to the officials. Once they recognize it, they’ll surely help you."

Shen Chen said it was too precious and refused to accept it.

Li Qian insisted, "This is my gift for you. Didn’t I say before that I would give you something, and when you see it, you’ll think of me? It’s practical and convenient, and it can help you. It’s also a token of my sincerity."

The gift was indeed very valuable, an imperial token of the Prince, seeing the token is akin to seeing the person.

In the power-centric Daqing Dynasty, having this token made things much easier.

In other words, it’s worth thousands of gold ingots.

Shen Chen looked at him with a sincere expression, almost crying if rejected...

"Thank you, I’ll accept it."

He stretched out his long-fingered hand and took it, placing it into his chest.

Only then did Li Qian’s worries dissipate, revealing two little tiger teeth as he smiled, "Remember to write to me when you have time. I’ll be studying diligently at the Imperial College, waiting for your return. I’ll write to you too."

Shen Chen replied, "Mm."

He didn’t have free time, as he had to read and practice martial arts whenever he could...

The Eldest Prince’s four-year-long expectation of a letter was destined to be in vain.

And yet, the person involved was unaware, still thinking the other party had agreed, with a joyful expression.

Huanhuan gave a delicate and small dagger that could peel fruits and serve as self-defense in danger, essential for home and travel.

Qinglian gifted a "History Book," since she didn’t know his hobbies. After thinking it over, Xiao Chen clearly loved reading, so she went to a bookstore, where the owner recommended this bestseller.

Changzhou, being a bookworm, gifted another book titled "Zhou Rites."

Luckily, it wasn’t the same book as the Little Princess’s gift.

His motto was that the book contains beauties, and it holds a house of gold...

The journey is long and there’s little to dispel the boredom, so when the scenery grew tiresome, one could read to pass the time.

All the little friends finished giving their gifts, and Ye Zhi intentionally went last, making it seem more important...

Took out a square silk box with crabapple-colored cloud patterns on the borders. The box was about as long as a woman’s hand, half a foot wide, not too big or small, convenient for travel.

A refined bronze lock with cloud patterns locked the silk box. After Shen Chen took the box, Ye Zhi handed him the key:

"This was custom-made from the Gongsun Family, a gift for you. Here’s the key. When you reach Dragon Tiger Mountain, you can use this box to store things. Open it on the journey for a surprise, hehe, and don’t refuse this silk box."

Fearing his refusal, she added, "Inside is a letter I wrote to you."

The young girl softly sulked, with a tone carrying a hint of mystery.

Shen Chen, holding the silk box in one hand, took the key she handed over, his voice tinged with reluctance, "Alright, I’ll read it in the carriage." How could he refuse? Ah Zhi sending him something brought him joy he couldn’t contain.

What could be written in the letter?

His heart held a vague sense of expectation.

Ye Lin stood nearby, silent and without a gift, quietly standing aside, seeming like an outsider.

Before leaving.

Lord Minister reminded a few words again: "Respect your teachers and uphold the righteous path, always adhere to the morals you should follow. In a group of three, one will be my teacher. You should be polite to the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain, not arrogant or self-righteous. You’re still young, the future road is long. Remember that the Ye Mansion is always here for you if you need it."
