It was rare to see the calm and confident Xie Mingxi looking deflated, and a smile quickly flashed in the eyes of the Sixth Princess.
Too much limelight will arouse people's suspicion. I only used five points of my strength to run this lap. Let alone one lap, it was three or five laps.
It is also a good thing that Mr. Lian has strict requirements. From now on, he will be able to "gradually" show his extraordinary physical endurance. It is natural that he can practice archery well. It is natural that he wants to practice martial arts.
Master Lian's cold and solemn voice interrupted the Sixth Princess's reverie: "Today we will practice formation, and then we will start practicing bow-drawing during the next archery class."
The sixth princess calmed down and responded with the other girls.
Yin Xiaoxiao boldly asked: "Master Lian, when can we learn to ride horses?"
Mr. Lian glanced over lightly and said, "When you have practiced until you can run three times in a row without changing your expression, then you can practice riding horses again."
Yin Xiaoxiao: “…”
Girls: "..."
They are all delicate and slender girls, why do they have to suffer so much? In the future, they don't have to ride horses to escape or shoot arrows to kill enemies, can they just practice casually?
The disapproval shown on the faces of the girls was too obvious.
Master Lian's heart was suddenly stung, a surge of anger came up, and his voice became more severe: "Shooting is one of the two courses among the six arts of the gentleman, and it is the same as the book of ritual and music."
"Since you have come to Lianchi Academy, you must work hard and practice every course to the best of your ability. Only in this way will you not let down the hard work of the Queen and Chief Gu, let alone yourself."
"If anyone is lazy, I will never forgive him!"
His eyes swept over the stern faces of the girls, Master Lian said in a serious tone: "If you are lazy or do not listen to Master's words, I will report it to the Master and punish him severely. If you still do not repent, I will expel you from the Lotus Pond Academy!
"
...Lianfuzi, you are so cruel!
All the girls should be together.
Mr. Lian ordered in a deep voice: "Stand in a line from shortest to tallest!"
…
An hour later.
The girls, who were nearly dying from being drilled, steeled themselves, obeyed the orders, turned left, turned right, lifted their feet forward, and took a few steps back together...
Finally, the sound of chimes sounded as beautiful as the sounds of nature.
It’s finally time for school to end!
The girls were so excited that they almost burst into tears.
Mr. Lian twitched his lips coldly: "Today's shooting class ends here. Tomorrow morning, the dormitory chief Xie Mingxi will gather the troops and wait for me at the martial arts training ground."
Xie Mingxi, whose whole body was sore and weak, cheered up and answered.
After she became a concubine in her previous life, she specially selected a palace maid who was good at martial arts. She learned her boxing and kicking skills from the palace maid. Even one or two adult men were no match for her. She has always been proud of her physical strength and endurance.
Far better than ordinary people.
Only today did I realize that what I was learning that day was fancy fists and kicks, and I never suffered any real hardship during my martial arts training.
This afternoon was really miserable.
The team was repeatedly assembled and trained in formation. The movements were required to be uniform. If one person made a mistake, everyone had to start over. I kept lifting my legs. After one afternoon, my legs were so sore.
Lin Weiwei, who was born with a weak body, had to rest three times in the middle before barely holding on until the end. At this time, her face looked sluggish, like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, completely wilted.
As soon as Mr. Lian left, the girls no longer cared about their image and dignity, and sat down on the green grass, wailing incessantly.
"I'm so exhausted! Woohoo!"
"My hands and legs are so weak that I have no strength to walk at all."
"Me too. My hair is all messed up."
"I have to run tomorrow. When I think about this, I can't wait to take leave tomorrow."
Complaints and complaints are endless.
Especially the pampered Sheng Jinyue, she suffered a lot today. She complained endlessly and spoke unscrupulously. She was very mean when talking about Mr. Lian: "Mr. Lian is so harsh and unkind. No wonder she has never been able to get married and has become an old girl..."
"Shut up!"
Xie Mingxi interrupted Sheng Jinyue in a cold voice: "Mr. Lian has good intentions and is strict for our own good. What's the point of you slandering me behind your back?"
"Respect teachers and respect the teachings, and all students should follow them. If the words you just said reach the ears of the mountain chief, you will never want to stay in Lianchi Academy again."
…
Being scolded mercilessly by Xie Mingxi in front of everyone, Sheng Jinyue's face turned red and white, and she replied in embarrassment and anger: "Xie Mingxi! Stop pretending here! After practicing for a long time, everyone is exhausted.
I don’t believe that you have no complaints in your heart.”
Xie Mingxi looked calm: "I am indeed tired. However, it would be too self-righteous for you to judge others based on your own mind."
"We were admitted to Lianchi Academy, became the Queen's disciples, and were taught by the most outstanding masters in Daqi. How lucky we are!"
"If you can't bear this little pain, why bother coming to the academy again? Just go home and enjoy the flowers and butterflies in the boudoir."
yes!
No pain No gain!
How honored and proud they are to be able to study in the top girls' college in Daqi. How can they feel resentful because of this little hardship?
The girls looked at each other silently, then each stood up with support.
Even Li Xiangru didn't say anything to help.
Sheng Jinyue couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears: "Xie Mingxi! You bully me all day long with your sharp tongue! I will go back and tell my aunt, my grandfather, and my father."
While crying, he managed to stand up and run outside.
Then, her legs were sore and weak, and she accidentally fell. Sheng Jinyue felt hurt and embarrassed, struggled to get up, and continued running stumblingly.
Then, he fell again.
Girls: "..."
Li Xiangru couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over to help Sheng Jinyue and whispered a few words of comfort. Sheng Jinyue didn't know if she heard it, so she threw away Li Xiangru's hand and ran away without looking back.
Li Xiangru: "..."
Good intentions are treated like a donkey's liver and lungs!
Li Xiangru was not happy in her heart, and walked away angrily with a straight face.
All the girls looked at each other.
Yin Xiaoxiao cleared her throat: "Let's go back to the dormitory and change clothes before going back!"
This suggestion received a response from everyone. Everyone helped each other back to the dormitory.
Lin Weiwei sat on the ground with a sad face and said pitifully: "What should I do? I really can't get up."
Xie Mingxi had no choice but to step forward and help Lin Weiwei up: "I will help you back to the dormitory."
Fang Ruomeng also walked over and held Lin Weiwei's other arm: "I will support you too."
Apart from Yin Xiaoxiao and the other three, Fang Ruomeng has the best physical strength. After practicing for half a day, he still has the strength to help Lin Weiwei move forward.
The sixth princess slowly followed behind the three girls.
Xie Mingxi glanced back at the Sixth Princess, feeling a little surprised.
After half a day, even she was exhausted with beads of sweat on her forehead. However, the sixth princess's face remained unchanged, only a slight sweat appeared on her forehead.
