As the monthly exams approached, the spirits of all the girls became tense.
This was the first monthly exam after entering Lianchi Academy, and all the girls were very excited.
Every time there is a monthly exam, Director Gu Shan will personally write the list, write the names of the top three students in each school on it, and then publish the list outside the academy door. There are also extra rewards!
The reward is nothing, but the glory announced on the list is fascinating.
The girls usually chatted and laughed in harmony, but in the past two days, the atmosphere has changed subtly. Even the content of the chat has changed to:
"It's over, I will definitely fail the exam this time."
"Why is Sister Qin so self-effacing? In my opinion, Sister Qin will definitely get the first grade!"
"Sister Yan has been studying very hard recently. I think she will be in the top three this time!"
"No matter what, I'm far behind Sister Li. Sister Li is determined to win the first place this time, and let some self-righteous people see who is the well-deserved number one among the freshmen!"
...Who is talking nonsense?
Xie Mingxi raised her head and looked over slowly.
Yan Zhenzhen looked over with provocative eyes. Li Xiangru on the side was sitting calmly with a smile on her lips, showing a dignified and generous demeanor.
"Even if Sister Li gets the first place in the exam, what does it have to do with you?" Before Xie Mingxi opened her mouth, Lin Weiwei responded unceremoniously.
Yan Zhenzhen curled her lips and pointed at Sang and Huai: "Some people, even if they come from a well-known family, have no character at all. They hang around a concubine all day long and are willing to serve as pawns. It's really embarrassing to show off!"
Lin Weiwei blushed with anger.
Fang Ruomeng, who was also a concubine, also felt her face burning.
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "Legends and concubines are all determined by fate and cannot be changed. In Lianchi Academy, priority is based on talent and learning, not family background. Only those who lack confidence in themselves will emphasize the difference between legitimate concubines and concubines.
You are better than others."
Yan Zhenzhen stood up in a hurry, her pretty face flushed with anger, and pointed her right index finger straight at Xie Mingxi: "Xie Mingxi! You are going too far!"
"Don't think you can secure the first place! This time, Sister Li will definitely beat you!"
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I thought you were going to take the first place in the exam 'in person'."
Yan Zhenzhen: "..."
The proud and arrogant Yan Zhenzhen could not withstand such excitement and blurted out: "Just wait for me! I will be the first in the exam this time to show you."
Xie Mingxi said smoothly: "If you get the first place in the exam, I will give you the position of head of the dormitory. On the contrary, if I get the first place in the exam, within the next month, you will lay paper and polish for me every day."
ink!"
Yan Zhenzhen snorted coldly: "It's a deal!"
Li Xiangru: "..."
Looking at the extremely proud Yan Zhenzhen, who raised her head and held her chest high, Li Xiangru couldn't help but twitch her lips. It was Xie Mingxi who couldn't get the first place in the exam, and she was here. Where did Yan Zhenzhen get the confidence to get the first place in the exam?
…
Li Xiangru and Sheng Jinyue shared a dormitory. The two were already familiar with each other, and with Li Xiangru's deliberate attempts to win over her, Sheng Jinyue had regarded Li Xiangru as a confidant.
Today, after returning to the dormitory, Sheng Jinyue snorted angrily: "Xie Mingxi's arrogant way of getting the first place in the exam is really hateful and annoying."
Fortunately, Sheng Jinyue still had some self-awareness and knew that she was no match for Xie Mingxi, so she put all her hopes on Li Xiangru: "Sister Li, you must be the first in the exam this time to suppress Xie Mingxi's arrogance!"
Li Xiangru's eyes flashed, and she said calmly: "Sister Sheng is right. Xie Mingxi is just a concubine, but she openly overpowers me and others. How can we be convinced?"
These words can be said to have reached Sheng Jinyue's heart.
Sheng Jinyue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's the truth. There is a difference between a concubine and a concubine. A concubine born from a concubine should be content and humble. Xie Mingxi is so arrogant, I have long disliked her..."
Talk impassionedly and endlessly.
Li Xiangru listened patiently and sighed deliberately: "I intend to teach Xie Mingxi a lesson. However, Xie Mingxi's academic performance is indeed outstanding. I am not afraid of the book of rituals and music at all, but I am slightly inferior to the three subjects of Sheyushu.
"
On weekdays, everyone attends classes together, and everyone knows how everyone is doing.
Even Sheng Jinyue could not belittle Xie Mingxi without conscience.
Li Xiangru seemed to be talking to himself: "Tomorrow morning, I will take a test on three subjects of Rites and Music, and in the afternoon I will take a test on Archery. If I accidentally eat something unclean, my hands and feet will become weak. No matter how powerful I am, I will be afraid."
I didn’t do well in the exam.”
yes!
Why didn't she think of such a brilliant idea?
The more Sheng Jinyue thought about it, the more she thought this was a good idea. She smiled happily and said, "Sister Li, just wait and see the excitement!"
Li Xiang was still in a difficult position and frowned: "Sister Sheng, I was just joking. It is absolutely inappropriate to do this. If the masters find out that it was you, they will definitely punish you severely. What should I do!"
Sheng Jinyue raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Don't worry, if I want to take action, how can I be noticed so easily."
Li Xiangru looked worried: "But..."
"It's nothing." Sheng Jinyue puffed up her chest with loyalty: "In short, this matter is my idea and it is up to me to do it. Whether it succeeds or not is my business and has nothing to do with you."
"Don't worry, even if it doesn't work, I will take full responsibility for it! I will never involve you in it!"
Li Xiangru's face was moved, and she looked at Sheng Jinyue with admiration in her eyes: "Sister Sheng is brave and courageous, and her mind is worse than that of men. I feel ashamed!"
Sheng Jinyue was dazzled by Li Xiangru's admiring gaze and laughed.
Li Xiangru also pursed her lips and smiled.
Sheng Jinyue was born in the Huainan Palace, and her status was noble, second only to the Sixth Princess. Sheng Jinyue and Xie Mingxi had deep grudges, so it would be perfect for her to take action against Xie Mingxi.
Of course it would be great. I could easily get the first place in the exam and push Xie Mingxi down hard, which made me feel depressed.
Even if the plan fails, the unlucky person is also Sheng Jinyue, and it has nothing to do with herself!
…
Sheng Jinyue was in a very happy mood with a wonderful "good idea" in mind.
When I met Xie Mingxi in the afternoon, I rarely opened my mouth to say hello: "Cousin Mingxi, how are you preparing for the exam tomorrow?"
I usually call her by her first name, but this is the first time I call her cousin Mingxi.
What is Sheng Jinyue up to?
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and she twitched her lips with a half-smile: "The exam is just an exam, there is nothing to prepare for."
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
Sheng Jinyue almost choked out. Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly remembered tomorrow's "big plan". It was not the right time to fall out. She forced a smile and said, "Cousin Mingxi has excellent academic performance. She can do well in the exam without having to prepare.
"
Xie Mingxi nodded without humility: "I think so too."
