As soon as Xie Mingxi got on the carriage, Lin Weiwei noticed something strange and couldn't help but ask.
Xie Mingxi did not elaborate on the family scandal, and smiled lightly: "I was blinded by the wind and sand, and I will be fine in a while."
Lin Wei thought for a moment and made some guesses.
Xie Mingxi is a concubine, she has an elder brother and a sister, and her own mother is a concubine. She will rarely be wronged. Since she doesn't want to talk about it, it's better to ask less questions.
Lin Weiwei immediately changed the subject: "Today's first test is the test on the Four Books and Five Classics. This is your best subject."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Are there any courses I'm not good at?"
Lin Weiwei burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, I made a mistake. My sister Xie is amazingly talented and does well in every course. She will definitely shine in today's monthly exam!"
"Both each other!" Xie Mingxi responded with a smile: "If you also learn well in the imperial examination, it will be even more wonderful if the two of us occupy the top two places in the school."
Lin Weiwei was stabbed in a painful spot, with a tragic expression on her face: "Can you please stop mentioning Sheyu?"
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled.
Lin Weiwei thought of yesterday's bet and winked again and said with a smile: "Hey, if you got first place in the exam, wouldn't you really let Yan Zhenzhen lay paper and polish ink for you?"
"Why not?" Xie Mingxi smiled slowly: "It was a bet she made willingly, and she is willing to admit defeat! If I lose, I will naturally give up the top spot!"
Lin rolled her eyes slightly: "Yan Zhenzhen is not even as good as me, so how can she pass you? I think she was tempted by your provocation! She made the bet on impulse, maybe she will sleep
I regretted it when I woke up!"
…
Lin Weiwei was joking casually, but she didn't expect that she was right.
Yan Zhenzhen did regret it.
Everyone can see how well Xie Mingxi is doing in various subjects. Only Li Xiangru can compete. She wants to surpass Xie Mingxi, unless Xie Mingxi takes one less exam today...
Yan Zhenzhen held it back all night, thinking about shamelessly breaking off the bet this morning. When Xie Mingxi stepped into the school building, she couldn't spit out the words stuck in her throat.
Xie Mingxi looked over with a smile: "Why does Sister Yan keep looking at me? Could it be that you want to remind me not to forget the bet? Don't worry, I will always remember it!"
Yan Zhenzhen: "..."
All the blood in Yan Zhenzhen's body rushed to her mind. She suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Of course I haven't forgotten it! Just wait, I will be the new dormitory leader tomorrow!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to bite off my tongue.
She obviously wants to cancel the bet!
Why does one mouth turn into a provocation!
Xie Mingxi responded sternly: "There is an old saying that it is difficult to raise a woman with a villain! This is clearly a slander against women. Although we are women, we are just like men, we will never go back on our word! Sister Yan, what do you mean?
Yes or no?"
Yan Zhenzhen's mouth was one step faster than her brain: "Yes! Of course I will not regret it!"
Everyone: "..."
Everyone silently looked at Yan Zhenzhen who jumped into the pit and refused to jump out, and pity and sympathy surged in their hearts.
The sixth princess looked at this scene and felt a little happy in her heart.
As long as Xie Mingxi is not tricking herself, it is always a pleasure to watch her dig holes for others to jump out of.
…
Probably because of the first exam, all the students were a little nervous and came early.
Sheng Jinyue was the latest one to arrive today. When she came in, she was carrying a rather large food box in her hand.
As soon as she entered the school, Sheng Jinyue smiled and shouted: "Men take part in the imperial examination. In order to get good luck, they always eat a rice dumpling in the morning. It has the meaning of high school. I specially asked the cook to make small rice dumplings last night. Today
I brought it here in the morning. Let everyone share one!"
After saying that, he opened the food box with a smile and took out a long string of small rice dumplings.
Each of this bunch of rice dumplings is very delicate, and one can be eaten in two or three mouthfuls. No matter how full everyone is after breakfast, there is no problem in eating one rice dumpling.
Li Xiangru watched Sheng Jinyue's every move in his eyes, and a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes. He quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Sister Sheng is so kind, I can't accept it, so I can only thank you."
Sheng Jinyue smiled and said: "Some small things are nothing."
Xie Mingxi narrowed her eyes slightly and revealed a vague sneer at the corner of her mouth.
Sheng Jinyue enthusiastically distributed the rice dumplings to everyone.
These rice dumplings are filled with sweet and glutinous bean paste, and are all tied with red string. From the appearance, they are generally the same.
Sheng Jinyue walked up to Xie Mingxi, casually took off the end of the rice dumpling and placed it in front of Xie Mingxi: "Cousin Mingxi, the rice dumplings taste best when eaten while they are hot."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyes, with a half-smile on her lips: "Thank you, cousin Jinyue."
Sheng Jinyue changed her usual cold eyebrows and said with a smile: "Everyone in the school has a share, and it's not just for you." As she spoke, she quickly opened the rice dumplings and ate them in front of Xie Mingxi.
It's delicious to eat and extremely sweet.
The craftsmanship of the Huainan Prince's chef is indeed exquisite. Mixed with the sweet fragrance of rice dumpling leaves, it makes people's mouths lick.
Li Xiangru immediately peeled off the rice dumpling leaves, took a bite, and exclaimed: "It really tastes great!"
Li Xiangru's eating immediately aroused the greed of all the girls. They all peeled off the rice dumplings and started eating them with smiles.
Only Xie Mingxi and the Sixth Princess remained motionless.
…
Sheng Jinyue saw this and was secretly anxious.
However, urging too much will only make Xie Mingxi suspicious.
Sheng Jinyue first looked at the sixth princess, and said with a pleasant smile: "Sixth cousin, these rice dumplings are very delicious, why don't you eat them? Is it because you think it is troublesome to peel the rice dumpling leaves? Why don't I peel the rice dumpling leaves for you!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pick up the rice dumplings in front of the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess made a quick move and quickly took the rice dumpling into her hand, saying coldly: "No need."
Sheng Jinyue retracted her hand and looked at Xie Mingxi with a smile: "Sister Mingxi, why don't you eat? Everyone has eaten it!"
Before Xie Mingxi could speak, the Sixth Princess had reached out and took the rice dumplings in front of her into her hands: "Give me these rice dumplings as well."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
The sixth princess's magical move completely disrupted Sheng Jinyue's plan.
Sheng Jinyue was anxious and afraid. What if the sixth princess eats Xie Mingxi's rice dumplings...
When the time comes, she suffers from vomiting and diarrhea and misses the exam, which will definitely anger Concubine Mei in the palace and the emperor. Concubine Mei has been out of favor for a long time and has little influence inside and outside the palace, so there is nothing to fear.
The emperor loved the sixth princess very much. When the time came that he would trace her to her in anger, he would suffer!
But at this moment, if he opened his mouth to ask for the rice dumplings back, wouldn't he tell everyone clearly that he had tampered with the rice dumplings? (To be continued)
