"Haha."

Li Chen pulled up Dantang Jingzhi's hand and said, "Sir, go with this palace."

The convoy has now arrived at the square before the Royal Academy.

According to Li Chen's request, the Royal Academy had no walls to block it off, so there was no real entrance. It simply left a large open space as a square, and on this square there was only one giant stone.

This massive stone serves as a landmark building of the Royal Academy, so today's opening ceremony is being held right here.

The platform was already set up. Over a thousand students, plus guards and other personnel, brought the total to over 2,300 people in the square. At first glance, it was bustling with activity.

Every student wore a moon-white undershirt with azure embroidery along the edges, adorned with light-colored embroidery of mountains, grasses, and trees on the bottom.

To be honest, with clothes like this and the good quality fabric, anyone who isn't completely unattractive will look much better.

After the release of the long robes worn by students at the Royal Academy, a wave of imitation swept through the capital. Many handsome young men took pride in obtaining such an outfit. Armed with a folding fan, they strolled down the streets, and their rate of being noticed increased significantly.

Of course, clothes can be imitated, the imperial court does not obstruct this, but the true school uniform has red, blue, and purple emblems embroidered on the cuffs. These three-color emblems represent the identity of students from the royal academy. Outsiders cannot imitate them, nor can they wear them.

The arrival of His Royal Highness, the Prince, excited the 2,300 people present.

Everyone eagerly anticipates getting a glimpse of the true face of the Crown Prince of the Qin Empire.

In ancient times, communication media were scarce. Forget about the internet; even television and newspapers didn't exist. People had no way to see what others looked like except through word-of-mouth descriptions or paintings. Obviously, this couldn't compare to seeing a real person.

In ancient times, most people probably never even saw the county magistrate of their own city. To meet a local landlord was considered fortunate, let alone seeing the crown prince, who stood high above them on the imperial cloud.

This might be the only chance most people will ever have to see Li Chen in person, so no one wants to miss it.

Luckily, both the students and teachers present were carefully selected from across the nation, so there were no quality issues. Although everyone was curious, there wasn't a hint of chaos at the scene.

Li Chen and Dantai Jing walked onto the high platform one after the other. Of course, Li Chen was the first to speak.

He stood in the middle of the platform, wearing a scarlet robe embroidered with a dragon, which made him stand out from the crowd of white-clad people present.

"Student, attend to the Crown Prince."

Over a thousand people roared in unison, their voices surging like a tsunami. Li Chen stood at the center of the throng, smiling as he looked at them.

"Just forget about formalities."

Li Chen raised his hand, and the students stood in neat rows, striving to show their best demeanor before the Crown Prince.

Li Chen's gaze swept over everyone, not moving quickly, allowing each person to feel the presence of the crown prince's eyes upon them.

"My esteemed students, the Imperial Academy is now open, and you are its inaugural class. You carry the fervent hopes of Master Jing, myself, and the entire court. To be frank, the future of the Qin Empire rests upon your shoulders. Therefore, you bear not only the destinies of yourselves and your families but also the glory of the empire's future."n prince, which is disrespectful and makes people ridicule your Jin nation as a barbarian land that doesn't understand our civilized etiquette.”"Soan's face was flushed red, and he opened his mouth to...
