"Ming Niang, when did you and Her Highness the Sixth Princess become friends?" After getting on the carriage, Xie Jun couldn't wait to ask: "Why did you never mention it when you came back?"
Xie Mingxi indeed never mentioned the Sixth Princess in front of Xie Jun.
She was good to the Sixth Princess just because the Sixth Princess was her old friend. Later, when she learned that the Sixth Princess' skin remained the same but she was a different person inside, she was shocked and annoyed, and she never thought of actually exposing this matter!
Xie Mingxi responded casually: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!"
Peng!
"How can this be a trivial matter!"
In excitement, Xie Jun used too much force, and the area where his thigh was hit was burning. However, Xie Jun did not feel the pain at all, and said with joy: "That is the noble Sixth Princess. You are really good at making friends with Her.
What a blessing."
"Look at today, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess specially accompanied you to the Huainan Palace, and she defended you in every word. It can be seen that Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess truly regards you as a good friend."
"Good Ming Niang, my father is so proud of you."
Xie Jun's face was full of joy and his eyes were full of pride. Then he earnestly warned: "In the future, you must have more contact with Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess."
That’s it! It’s already known to Xie Jun, so there’s no need to hide it.
Xie Mingxi took advantage of the situation and said: "I have something important to discuss with my father. Your Highness, the Sixth Princess, studied martial arts with Mr. Lian, so I stayed with her and became Mr. Lian's registered disciple. Therefore, I was an hour late from leaving school."
"I will come home late every day from now on, and I hope my father will agree."
Xie Jun immediately threw aside the words "women lose their virginity and tranquility when learning martial arts" and said with a happy smile: "You are so eager to learn and make progress, how can your father not allow it?"
"By the way, you used to take the Lin family's carriage back home. From now on, you will finish school an hour late every day, which is very inconvenient. When I return home today, I will give an order for the carriage to pick you up."
Xie Mingxi nodded.
The Sixth Princess is not on her way, so I can only send her back once in a while. It is impossible to send her back to Xie's Mansion every day.
Xie Jun was happy all the way. It was not until he arrived outside Xie's house that he remembered that there was one more important thing he hadn't asked: "By the way, the academy released the results today. How many points did you get? Are you ranked first?"
Xie Mingxi replied in a normal tone: "I got perfect scores and I am the first place."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Mingxi added a few more words: "Chief Gu Shanzhang and a group of teachers praised me today. They said that in the more than ten years since Lianchi Academy was opened, there are only one student who can get perfect scores in the exam, and I am the only one!"
Xie Jun has been extremely gifted since he was a child and is extremely talented in reading. It was no fluke that he won the top prize in the exam at the age of seventeen. He has always been proud of it.
Now it seems that Xie Mingxi's talent is even higher than that of his biological father.
Xie Jun looked at Xie Mingxi with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
The heart that was still a little wavering was completely biased towards Xie Mingxi!
Such an outstanding daughter is ten times and a hundred times better than the useless Xie Yuanting! There is no need to think too much about how to choose.
Xie Jun flattened his grin to the base of his ears and gave a serious warning: "You are indeed worthy of being happy that you got perfect marks in this exam. However, the road to learning is long. You must not be proud and complacent. You must maintain your top spot!"
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile.
…
Mr. Xie was so impatient while waiting that he kept pacing back and forth.
Mrs. Xu, who was accompanying her, was also worried and whispered: "Why did the Prince of Huainan suddenly call Ajun to come over? And asked Ming Niang to come too. Could it be that something happened in the academy?"
Mr. Xie was very angry. Hearing Mrs. Xu's endless chatter, he became more and more annoyed. He glared at Mrs. Xu impatiently: "Okay, you go back first."
But Mrs. Xu refused to leave: "I won't be able to sleep until I figure out what's going on."
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door.
Xie Jun leads Xie Mingxi back!
Mr. Xie, who was always strong, walked over quickly with three steps at a time and two steps at a time: "Ajun, are you okay?"
Xie Jun grinned and said: "It's okay, it's a good thing to have."
A huge stone fell quietly in Mr. Xie's heart, and he couldn't wait to ask what happened. Xie Jun was filled with joy. He couldn't hold back at this moment, and immediately told all the things that happened tonight.
Mr. Xie grinned when he heard this: "Okay, okay! You are indeed my granddaughter! Ming Niang, from now on you can just study in peace. Grandpa will support you and ensure that no one in the Xie family will dare to bully you again."
If you get the perfect score in the exam, you will definitely win the favor of Chief Gu Shan and Queen Yu. If you also make friends with the noble Sixth Princess, you will have the opportunity to visit the palace in the future, and maybe you will be lucky enough to marry as the prince's concubine.
Mr. Xie was thinking happily in his heart, looking at Xie Mingxi's eyes, how kind and affectionate he should be.
Xie Mingxi showed a moved expression at the right time: "Thank you, grandpa."
Mrs. Xu was secretly glad. Xie Mingxi was indeed very human, and her choice was right!
…
Jiaofang Hall.
Queen Yu was looking at the letter sent to the palace by Chief Gu, her brows furrowed tightly.
Emperor Jianwen, who had changed out of his dragon robe and put on his regular clothes, walked behind Empress Yu and asked with a smile: "What is the empress looking at?"
Queen Yu didn't say anything, and just thrust the letter in her hand into Emperor Jianwen's hand.
Emperor Jianwen glanced at it and looked over it hastily, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face: "The academy is a place for quiet study. This Sheng Jinyue is not as good as others in academics, so she uses such inferior methods."
Empress Yu sighed: "When I set up Lianchi Academy, I refused to open the door to students without taking exams. This is because I had such concerns. Jinyue was born in the Huainan Prince's Palace, so she couldn't help but think that she was superior to others. She didn't do well in studies and didn't think about her own mistakes.
That’s all, you actually have such harmful thoughts.”
"Xianzhi also has a stubborn temper. The Prince of Huainan went to give gifts to intercede, but she turned him away unceremoniously. Today, a white list was made to make Sheng Jinyue's affairs public."
"The Huainan Prince's Mansion has lost a lot of face because of this incident. I'm afraid there will be resentment..."
Emperor Jianwen snorted lightly: "You have no way to teach your daughter, how can you feel resentful!" He also said: "Uncle Wang Huainan was too negligent. Such a thing happened under his nose, and he was blinded.
Drum."
A hint of sneer flashed in Queen Yu's eyes, but she said: "It's no wonder he is so busy. He is usually busy with all kinds of affairs in the clan's palace, so he has no time to care about the trivial matters in the palace."
The power of the royal family can never be taken lightly.
King Huainan was in charge of the clan mansion and held real power. He was highly respected and trusted by Emperor Jianwen. However, King Huainan had already lined up in advance and chose the fourth prince.
Queen Yu, on the other hand, was interested in the third prince.
For this reason, Queen Yu and King Huainan have always been at odds with each other. This is a rare opportunity to step on King Huainan's face, and Queen Yu will not let it go.
Just as he was about to say something else, the palace maid Yu Qiao came in quickly to report: "To inform the emperor and empress, Her Highness the Sixth Princess is outside seeking an audience." (To be continued)
