The night falls low, and the moonlight is like water.
The maids in Chunjin Pavilion have all fallen asleep, and everything is peaceful.
Xie Mingxi lay flat on the bed, not sleepy at all.
In her mind, the faces of the six princesses flashed constantly... gloomy, silent, happy, smiling, shocked, wary, sharp...
In the end, it settled into a look of humiliation and forbearance.
In terms of skill, she is not as good as the Sixth Princess.
Both she and the Sixth Princess knew this.
She suddenly took action during the martial arts class. Firstly, she wanted to express her bad feelings, and more importantly, she wanted to take the opportunity to test whether the Sixth Princess had evil intentions. A person's most instinctive and direct reaction cannot be deceived.
Obviously, this "sixth princess" of unknown origin has no murderous intention towards her, and even gives in to her at every turn... What is the reason?
Why is one person so forbearing and giving in to another person?
How many secrets does this "Sixth Princess" hide?
All kinds of speculations are coming one after another, like a mess that cannot be sorted out.
Xie Mingxi took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
One day the truth will eventually come to light! She must unravel these secrets one by one.
…
At this point, the Sixth Princess has lived a life of dire straits.
You can't sleep in the Four Books and Five Classics class. No matter whether you can understand it or not, you have to force yourself to listen. All daily homework must be completed...otherwise, Xie Mingxi will "enthusiastically" urge her to make up for her homework the next day.
In the etiquette class, I was often hit with a ring ruler. Even in the music class, it was not as leisurely as before. I don’t know what Xie Mingxi went to Master Yang and muttered. In short, Master Yang began to teach himself how to play the drums, and the requirements were quite strict.
.
The lunch break that I looked forward to most in the past has become another form of torture.
Xie Mingxi "taught" me to practice calligraphy every day! From Guange style, to regular script and running script, to official script and cursive script... I practiced so hard that my arms ached every day, and I didn't want to mention all the sadness in it.
The only thing worth being happy about was that at that hour after school, Mr. Lian would wait in the training room to teach him the sword skills.
Unfortunately, this secret did not last long.
In just a few days, Xie Mingxi discovered the matter.
"Every day after school, Her Royal Highness the Princess has not left. I heard that she went to the practice room?" Xie Mingxi asked casually.
At this time, Xianghui was also on the side.
Since that day when they revealed each other's secret, the two of them have never been alone in a room again.
The Sixth Princess hummed and didn't want to say more.
Xie Mingxi paused for a moment and then asked: "Has Mr. Lian officially accepted you as his disciple?"
The sixth princess did not say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
A trace of disappointment and unwillingness flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes. She had already expected this result. But when this day actually came, she still felt uncomfortable in every way.
In the past, it was others who envied her outstanding talent and favored her master. Unexpectedly, today it was her turn to watch others snatch away the master she had chosen.
This is what is called a turn of events.
The Sixth Princess cleared her throat and said softly: "You don't have to be depressed. If you want to learn the Lian family's sword skills, I can teach you them quietly."
Xie Mingxi looked over, with a half-smile on her lips: "Your Highness, the princess, is not afraid of being blamed by the honest master for doing this?"
Teaching martial arts privately is not a trivial matter. No matter how broad-minded Mr. Lian is, he will definitely feel unhappy knowing this.
The Sixth Princess finally got the opportunity to "bury the hatchet", and of course she didn't want to miss it. She immediately said: "I will find a chance to report it to the master, so you don't have to worry."
As he spoke, he looked over with expectant eyes, thinking silently in his heart.
Hurry up and agree!
The previous "misunderstanding" is now over, so don't pursue it any further!
Under the eager expectant gaze of the Sixth Princess, Xie Mingxi nodded.
The Sixth Princess was elated, her eyes shining brightly: "I have to stay an extra hour every night for the master to teach me the swordsmanship in person. It's not appropriate for you to stay together. How about we take advantage of the lunch break and quietly go to the practice room together?"
If you use your lunch break to practice swordsmanship, you can save yourself from practicing calligraphy and kill two birds with one stone!
The Sixth Princess happily thought about it secretly.
Xie Mingxi glanced at the Sixth Princess lightly: "Your Highness, you don't want to practice calligraphy anymore?"
Sixth Princess: "..."
Of course the Sixth Princess couldn't admit it, and immediately said: "Of course not. It's just that there seems to be no suitable time except noon."
The courses in the academy are fully scheduled, and there is a break in the morning and afternoon, which is only an hour for burning incense. At noon, apart from eating, there is still more than half an hour.
Xie Mingxi said: "There is no need to rush into martial arts training. It doesn't matter if you find time later. Your Royal Highness, you should worry about the upcoming monthly exams!"
Sixth Princess: "..."
The sixth princess really couldn't laugh anymore.
…
Yes! The regular monthly assessment of Lianchi Academy is coming soon.
Each of the six courses is worth ten points, totaling sixty points. A total score of fifty-four or more is counted as an A grade. A total score of forty-eight or more is counted as a B grade. A score of less than forty-eight is considered a C grade.
In other words, if you want to get an A grade, you will be deducted one point at most for each subject. If you want to get a B level, you will be deducted a maximum of two points for each subject!
When the Sixth Princess heard these evaluation criteria for the first time, she thought she had heard it wrong! After confirming that it was correct, she immediately felt desolately, "I will definitely get a C grade"!
Xianghui, who was standing aside, looked at the sad master, and felt quite unbearable. She softly opened her mouth to comfort her: "Your Highness, Princess Mei, will not be angry even if she is ranked B in the exam."
I was not comforted!
The Sixth Princess silently glanced at Xianghui who had received a wound.
Xianghui obviously felt that what she said did not sit well with her ears, so she immediately changed her words and said: "Your Highness, the princess, is very diligent these days, maybe she can take the B-level exam!"
Xie Mingxi twitched her lips.
The sixth princess finally had some self-awareness: "That's it! I won't be depressed if I get the C test. The starting point is low, and there is more room for improvement in the future."
Xie Mingxi nodded in agreement: "Your Highness the Princess is right. For someone like me, who got a first-class score in the first test, there is really no room for improvement."
Sixth Princess: "..."
The sixth princess struggled to answer: "I will shoot three subjects of Yushu to try to get full marks."
Xie Mingxi continued to nod: "Her Royal Highness has indeed learned these three subjects very well, and may be able to get full marks in the exam. In this way, if the three subjects of Rites and Music are worse, the total score will not be too low. Otherwise, everyone else will get a score of fifty
A few, His Highness is less than forty, so it would be a bit ugly."
Sixth Princess: "..."
Xianghui lowered his head and covered the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Miss Xie San's words are direct and interesting.
His Highness the Seventh Prince is silent and has a gloomy temperament. When he is with Miss Xie San, he is much more lively. He also has the vigor and vitality that a young man of this age should have.
After returning to the palace, you must report it to Concubine Mei. (To be continued)
