In June, Shen Xingwan had just come down from the mountains. Although he still looked slender, he was no longer thin.
Six months of difficult targeted training made her physical fitness much better.
In front of the stream was a row of wooden houses built by themselves. Shen Xingwan squatted down in front of the stream, took the cool stream water with his hands and washed his face.
Just returned to the cabin.
Banxia was tidying up her desk, "Miss, there is new news!"
Shen Xingwan sat down and opened it one by one.
Spring Festival, which had been postponed due to the war in the northwest, was finally scheduled to be held in mid-June.
There is still no other news about Fu Jingchao.
Starting in April, several battles broke out between Xiling and Northwest.
In the final decisive battle, Prince Zhennan personally led the troops into battle, and finally won the victory, and Xiling withdrew his troops.
The price was 200,000 troops, more than half of whom were killed or injured.
Fu Jingchao himself was seriously injured and almost died, so the emperor did not hold him accountable.
Because the injury was so serious, Fu Jingchao has not returned to Beijing and has been recuperating in the northwest. He heard that the emperor had sent an imperial doctor there.
I can't say who won this round.
The prince of Zhennan Palace was seriously injured, and the emperor also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Excluding the disabled soldiers in the northwest, the soldiers held by the Zhennan Palace became increasingly powerful.
When Shen Xingwan received the news, he originally planned to take people to the northwest in person.
The old lady probably guessed what she was thinking. She sent someone to deliver the message as soon as the news came. She can't change anything now and in the past, it will only add chaos.
Shen Xingwan did not go in the end.
As expected, the plot line was completely messed up because of this battle, and the future direction became even more confusing.
"Pack everything, we will set off back to Jiangnan tomorrow." Shen Xingwan ordered.
"Going back so soon?" Banxia was a little reluctant.
"Shengshi College is about to hold its graduation ceremony." Shen Xingwan said with some emotion, "Our current generation of students will completely end their days of studying in the academy."
This is equivalent to a modern graduation ceremony. In addition, the old lady is going to Beijing soon, so it is time for her to go back.
When Shen Xingwan left, Liu Yiniang, who was already known as Coach Lin, personally sent her out.
"These eight people are the most capable and performers. Let them go with you this time." Coach Lin said, "I have taught a lot during this period, and the rest is actual combat."
Following Shen Xingwan, I encountered a lot of things, and I naturally became tempered.
Shen Xingwan returned to Jiangnan with his people.
——————————————
When the boat approached the dock, the sky was slightly brighter. Shen Xingwan stood on the bow of the boat and watched the sun rise little by little.
Shen Xingwan noticed a fleet of ships parked nearby, flying the royal flag, and the leading ship was large and gorgeous.
"Who's coming this time?"
Qin Xuejian, who came to pick her up, looked coldly at the gorgeous boat with her veil on, "My favorite princess in the world today, Princess Qinghe."
"What is she doing in Jiangnan at this time?" Shen Xingwan narrowed his eyes.
If she remembered correctly, this Princess Qinghe was not a light-hearted person, she was extremely ambitious and resourceful.
Qin Xuejian said, "It is said that he came here specially to attend the graduation ceremony of Shengshi Academy."
"But I think she is here to win over people." Qin Xuejian said with a half-smile, "Throughout the history of Shengshi Academy, there is indeed something about the girls who come out. It's no wonder that the princess is attracted to her."
Shengshi College has produced talented women who are famous all over the world, as well as queens and princesses. Of course, it has also produced girls like Zhou Meida who are full of courage.
"I heard that many highly respected people attended this graduation ceremony," Qin Xuejian said.
Shen Xingwan nodded, these had little to do with her.
Qin Xuejian warned her uneasily, "Don't provoke Princess Qinghe this time."
"I'm full and have nothing to do, so why bother with her..."
The two got off the boat and walked towards the waiting carriage.
The window on the official ship was pushed open, and the princess, who was dressed extremely noble, looked at the two people's backs and said softly, "The rumors are indeed true, there are many beauties in Jiangnan."
The female officer next to her looked at her for a while and said, "The princess is the real beauty. These people are not worth mentioning in front of the princess."
Princess Qinghe smiled and said, "What I'm most looking forward to during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is Miss Shen."
She was so curious about what kind of person Lu Guifei could think about and hate so much.
As soon as Shen Xingwan returned to Changle Residence, he went straight to the old lady's yard.
After bowing to the old lady, the two chatted about what happened during this period. Shen Xingwan went straight to the topic, "What's going on with Fu Jingchao?"
The old lady sighed, "I'm almost back to Shengjing. You'll see me soon."
Shen Xingwan didn't speak for a while.
The old lady said thoughtfully, "Don't think too much, the result now may not be bad."
Shen Xingwan was moved, but the old lady waved her hand to leave, unwilling to say more.
Shen Xingwan had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and wait until he went to Beijing to ask Fu Jingchao in person.
The day before the graduation ceremony, Qi Zhiwei personally visited her home and brought her clothes issued by the academy, which she had to wear uniformly.
"Time flies so fast." Qi Zhiwei sighed, "It will be difficult to have such a carefree and happy time in the future."
For girls, after their studies have ended, they have to face the problem of getting engaged and getting married. Most of their lives in the future will be in the back house.
Shen Xingwan said softly, "No matter what, I hope we will never forget our original intentions and always love ourselves the most."
Qi Zhiwei nodded and talked to her about how grand the ceremony was and how many dignitaries came.
"The reputation of Shengshi College is so great, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Shen Xingwan was slightly worried.
In fact, Shengshi College has trained so many talented and capable girls, and it is not that they have not been suppressed.
At the most difficult time, I almost couldn't survive. Fortunately, there were so many outstanding students in my hometown. Even if a girl cannot take the imperial examination and become an official, she will naturally have power after climbing to a certain position.
At that time, Shengshi College relied on the girls it trained, and in turn protected Shengshi College, and it was able to survive slowly.
Qi Zhiwei stayed here directly that night, no one was sleepy, and the two of them recalled their time at Shengshi College.
Of the three little girls, Mingyue took the first step, Qi Zhiwei will soon be engaged, and Shen Xingwan will go to Beijing after the grand ceremony.
In just a few years, things have changed and people have changed. This separation, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
"It turns out that growing up is such a cruel thing." Qi Zhi's eyes turned red slightly and he held Shen Xingwan's hand, "If you need me in the future, you must tell me."
She has always been as meticulous as dust, and she was born into an official family, so she was already vaguely aware of Shen Xingwan's subtle virginity.
She has already lost one friend and cannot afford to lose another.
Shen Xingwan held her back and said, "Then if anyone bullies you in the future, remember to tell me and I will help you teach him a lesson!"
