Lin Weiwei was a little surprised. She quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "Thank you very much, Master, for the compliment. The student is not worthy of it."
Gu Shanchang smiled gently and said: "There is no perfect person in the world. Due to your limited talent, your archery skills are far inferior to others, and there is nothing you can do about it."
"You are not discouraged and are still diligent and conscientious. Such spirit is really rare and valuable."
After being praised, Lin Weiwei was elated and very happy.
After a while, Chief Gu Shanchang named the sixth princess again: "Sheng Anping!"
In Lianchi Academy, only Chief Gu Shan knew how to address the Sixth Princess by her first name. The rest of the teachers also addressed her as Sixth Princess respectfully even in class.
The sixth princess stood up and felt a little ashamed under the bright gaze of Chief Gu: "I'm sorry, Chief. I got a C grade this time."
Except for Sheng Jinyue, I got the only C grade in Haitang Academy!
At this moment, being partial to subjects or failing to learn the Four Books and Five Classics have become unspeakable excuses.
Gu Shan looked at the ashamed-looking Sixth Princess intently and said slowly: "It is the Emperor and Queen's wish that you study at Lotus Pond Academy. Even if you get a C grade every time, I will not be able to make you drop out of school."
.”
"It's just that since you have entered the academy, you are a student of Lotus Pond Academy. As the mountain chief, I will have strict requirements for all students and treat them equally. You are a princess, so there is no exception."
"I hope you can pass the monthly exam next month and get a B grade!"
The sixth princess took a deep breath and nodded.
…
Gu Shanchang looked at Li Xiangru who kept his head down and said nothing: "Li Xiangru!"
Li Xiangru's whole body trembled slightly, he responded in a low voice, and then stood up.
Gu Shanchang glanced at Li Xiangru's right hand: "Is the injury on your right finger getting better?"
"I went back home yesterday and re-applied the medicine." Li Xiangru replied in a low voice, "I will nurse him for a few days and he should be fine."
Gu Shan hummed, and his tone suddenly became stern: "Since you injured your finger, why do you insist on taking the temperament test? Don't you know that you can no longer play the piano after your finger is injured?"
Li Xiangru raised his head in panic: "Chief of the mountain..."
Gu Shanchang had a cold look on his face and his eyes were as bright as fire: "Being competitive is not a bad thing. Being overly aggressive and ignoring your health is really not advisable."
"If you completely injure your finger and you can no longer play the piano, it will be too late for you to regret it. How should Master Yang handle himself? How should I, the mountain chief, explain to the Li family?"
"You must remember the lesson from this incident and never do it again in the future!"
Li Xiangru was scolded in public for the first time in his life, and his face was burning. Tears kept rolling in his eyes.
Seeing that Li Xiangru was about to cry, Chief Gu Shan's tone softened a bit: "That's all, just write it down."
Then, he said to a group of students: "In this monthly exam, some did well, and some did not. Winners should not be arrogant, losers should not be discouraged! The road to learning is long, don't worry about temporary gains and losses."
"The quality of your studies is important, but what's more important is your good character."
"You all need to bear in mind the mistakes Sheng Jinyue made and take them as a warning. You must never make similar mistakes! Otherwise, I will not forgive you lightly!"
The last sentence was said extremely coldly.
All the students were shocked and responded in unison.
Xie Mingxi asked the question in her heart on behalf of the students: "May I ask the mountain chief, why didn't Sheng Jinyue come to the academy today?"
Could it be that Sheng Jinyue really dropped out of school on her own initiative?
Gu Shanzhang said calmly: "She was so anxious that she fell ill. She will stay in the palace for a few days before coming back to the academy."
The husbands and wives exchanged a tacit look.
Everyone had vaguely heard about the fact that the Crown Princess of Huainan went to Lianchi Academy in person last night but was turned away. Sheng Jinyue's illness was not known to be true or false.
…
On this day, Li Xiangru lived in a hazy state.
I finally made it to the end of school.
Li Xiangru paid no attention to anyone and was the first to leave the school.
Yan Zhenzhen leaned into Qin Sihun's ear and muttered: "I really can't believe that Sister Li is so high-spirited. In fact, it's not bad to get a first-class exam."
Qin Sihun smiled and said nothing.
Yan Zhenzhen babbled for a few words and then stopped. She cleared the table and left with Qin Sihun.
Xie Mingxi also wanted to leave, but the sixth princess suddenly whispered: "Mingxi, follow me to the practice room."
Xie Mingxi looked up in surprise.
The sixth princess looked at Xie Mingxi and said nothing.
Xie Mingxi instantly understood what the Sixth Princess meant. The Sixth Princess wanted her to learn martial arts with Master Lian... Of course she wanted to learn martial arts. However, Master Lian had not taken the initiative to open his mouth, so how could she take the initiative?
Xie Mingxi flatly refused: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. No need."
The sixth princess insisted: "I will make it clear to Master!"
Hearing this statement, Xie Mingxi felt a rare sadness in her heart, and said, "I want to take Sister Lin's carriage back home."
The sixth princess said without hesitation: "I will take you back in an hour."
Lin Weiwei, who had finished clearing the table, heard the last sentence with sharp ears and came over curiously: "What's wrong? Why did Her Highness the Princess want to thank my sister?"
Xie Mingxi thought in her mind and made up her mind in just a moment: "Sister Lin, you go back today! I want to stay for one more hour to practice martial arts with Her Highness the Princess. After practicing, Her Highness the Princess will take me back home."
Lin Weiwei subconsciously said: "Why don't I stay with you too? When the martial arts training is over, I will still take you back on the way, so that the princess will not have to run back and forth."
Unfortunately, the sixth princess didn't appreciate it at all: "No need."
Xie Mingxi also smiled politely and said: "Sister Lin, it's better to go back first!"
Lin Weiwei later realized that she was a bit redundant...forget it, let's go!
…
After a stick of incense, go to the practice room.
The Sixth Princess, who had changed into black military uniform, looked solemn. When she waved the wooden sword in her hand, there was a faint sound of breaking wind, with a solemn and murderous aura.
The sword wind blows against your face, it is unparalleled!
Is this the world-famous Lian family swordsmanship?
Xie Mingxi held her breath subconsciously, looked at the Sixth Princess intently, and silently memorized every move.
After the sixth princess finished practicing once, she deliberately slowed down and practiced the sword skills again. In the huge practice room, there was no sound, only the sound of swiping swords and the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats.
Xie Mingxi has a photographic memory. After reading it twice, she has memorized all the moves. She holds the wooden knife in her hand and does the same!
This time, the sixth princess stood quietly aside.
After Xie Mingxi finished practicing, she put away her sword and looked at the Sixth Princess: "Is there anything wrong with my practice?"
The eyes of the Sixth Princess were full of admiration: "No." After a pause, she added: "However, they are only similar in appearance but not in spirit. They lack the indomitable momentum and the power of the sword technique has not been exerted."
Hit the nail on the head!
Xie Mingxi was a little helpless: "I don't think something is right either."
