The Princess’s Path to the Throne 16

Calculating the timing precisely, Xie Mingwang strolled leisurely out of the palace, making his way to the Hanlin Academy for a brief visit.

He rarely visited the academy, as he usually held the position of a scholar in the Imperial Study, constantly maneuvering in front of the Emperor.

Xie Mingwang paid no mind to their opinions.

His gaze locked onto Liang Zhongyun, who had his head lowered, brows furrowed, and had not turned a page in the book he held for quite some time.

It had been a while since Xie Mingwang had seen Liang Zhongyun.

Back then, Liang Zhongyun had achieved remarkable success in the imperial examinations and entered the Hanlin Academy.

However, after such a long time, he remained obscure within its ranks, greatly disappointing his reputation as the foremost talented scholar in the capital.
