The King of Huainan came back with an ugly look on his face.
The prince of Huainan, who had been waiting all morning, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw his father's expression. He rushed forward to greet him: "Father, have you asked the emperor to apologize?"
The King of Huainan suppressed his anger and sulked. When he saw the face of the Prince of Huainan, he was so angry that he stretched out his legs and kicked him: "You have completely disgraced me with this face!"
"Your Majesty was really angry today and issued a warning. If I hadn't forbade my confession and humbled myself, I would have lost this job."
King Huainan was furious, and the prince of Huainan didn't dare to dodge. He stood there and received the kick, sucking in the pain.
The King of Huainan cursed angrily: "Go and tell that incompetent daughter of yours to go to the academy as soon as she recovers."
"You must not provoke the Sixth Princess from now on. Even Xie Mingxi should stay away from her."
"You are an unlucky thing! You can't earn any face, and you only get into trouble all day long! Just like you, your unlucky biological father!"
The more the King of Huainan talked, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but kicked the Prince of Huainan again: "Get out of here right now!"
…
The Prince of Huainan was so scolded that he rolled away to Sheng Jinyue's Xuexiang Pavilion.
Sheng Jinyue hadn't eaten for two days in a row, and she was lying on the bed with a haggard look on her face, her eyes dull.
The Crown Princess of Huainan sat by the bed, wiping the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief from time to time: "Jinyue, you haven't eaten for two days in a row. What's wrong if you don't eat today? Do you want to starve yourself to death?"
Sheng Jinyue moved her dry lips: "I have no appetite! I can't eat!"
When she thought of the white list outside Lianchi Academy, Sheng Jinyue's heart went cold and she felt sad, and tears quickly poured out of her eyes.
The Crown Princess of Huainan was both distressed and anxious: "If I had known this, why bother in the first place? Why did you bother to provoke Xie Mingxi when you did something bad?"
It would have been fine if we only provoked Xie Mingxi, but the Sixth Princess was implicated, and finally it fell on Master Dong.
Gu Shanchang is ruthless and doesn't buy it at all. He can't give out gifts even if he wants to. The trouble has reached such a level that it even alarmed the emperor and the empress in the palace...
Sheng Jinyue cried aggrievedly: "How did I know that the Sixth Princess would stand up for Xie Mingxi?"
If she had known earlier, given her ten courages, she would not have dared to offend Xie Mingxi!
The sound of urgent and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded. The Crown Princess of Huainan was startled. When she turned her head, she saw the Crown Prince of Huainan rushing in angrily.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Princess Huainan's heart tightened, and there was a hint of panic on her face: "Could it be that the Sixth Princess really complained to the Emperor?"
The Crown Prince of Huainan also had a bad temper. He was scolded and kicked by the King of Huainan, which made him sulky. He raised his hand and slapped the Crown Prince of Huainan's concubine: "They are all good girls you raised and taught!"
The Crown Princess of Huainan suddenly had bright red fingerprints on her right face. She dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so she replied solemnly: "It's all my fault. I will teach Jin Yue well in the future."
Sheng Jinyue was also startled by her father's anger and shrank.
"As soon as you recover, go to the Lotus Pond Academy!" Prince Huainan said with a gloomy face, repeating what King Huainan said: "Don't provoke the Sixth Princess anymore, and stay away from Xie Mingxi."
Under the fury of Prince Huainan, Sheng Jinyue did not dare to make any more noise. She did not dare to say a word about not going to Lianchi Academy. She nodded in agreement.
…
The fact that King Huainan was reprimanded by the emperor in the Yiqing Palace could not be hidden from anyone. Within half a day, word of mouth spread among the important ministers, and soon it spread to the ears of all civil and military officials.
Among these officials, there are always daughters or granddaughters studying at Lianchi Academy. When I return home in the evening, I can't help but ask about it.
The name Xie Mingxi was mentioned frequently and became famous in the capital.
Xie Jun, who usually has a leisurely life, always gets a lot of envious looks and exclamations wherever he goes today: "Master Xie teaches his daughter well, which is admirable!"
"Master Xie is amazingly talented and handsome, and the daughter he gave birth to is so outstanding and enviable."
"Yes! This is how you should give birth to a girl!"
"I will be the host tonight, please thank your lord for your honor. I happened to tell us in detail at the table how I teach Ling Qianjin on weekdays."
After raising a daughter, she can still win face for her father!
Much better than that useless son!
Xie Jun said with a proud look on his face: "It's up to me to be the host. We all go to Dingxiang Tower today."
…
In the evening, all the students had dispersed. It was extremely quiet in Lianchi Academy.
The door of the practice room was tightly closed, and the thick door panel blocked the sound of the wooden swords clashing in the room. Today, in addition to Xianghui Fuyu, there were also Yin Xiaoxiao's personal maids standing outside the door.
An hour later.
Master Lian walked out first, and Xianghui and others immediately stepped forward to salute. Master Lian didn't like to talk much, so he nodded briefly and left first.
Immediately afterwards, the Sixth Princess Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao came out.
The sixth princess was sweating on her forehead, and Xie Mingxi's face was flushed.
Yin Xiaoxiao has been learning horse riding and shooting since she was a child, and is slightly stronger than Xie Mingxi in terms of physical strength. At this time, she was also exhausted and screamed repeatedly: "I'm so exhausted! I don't even have the strength to walk! I practice like this every day, where can I go back?"
I still have the energy to complete my studies.”
Xie Mingxi reluctantly cheered up and joked: "Master Dong is recuperating from illness. Tomorrow, Chief Gu Shan will take charge of Master Dong's class. Do you dare not to do your homework?"
Of course I don’t dare! Just say it casually!
Yin Xiaoxiao sighed with a bitter look on his face: "You have to endure hardships to practice martial arts. That's all, you just have to endure it." Then asked Xie Mingxi: "How much have you learned in the sword skills taught by Master today?"
Xie Mingxi rarely hesitated: "I have learned all the moves. However, I always feel that it is not satisfactory and there is something missing."
Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like a close friend: "Yes, yes, yes, I also feel that something is missing."
The Sixth Princess briefly interjected: "It looks similar in form but not in spirit!"
Yes! That’s what it feels like!
Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao nodded together!
The three of them practiced martial arts with Mr. Lian, one official disciple and two registered disciples. Their relationship was closer than other classmates. The Sixth Princess, who "didn't like to talk", was a little less wary of Yin Xiaoxiao, who had a cheerful and lively personality.
The three of them arrived outside the academy together.
The carriages are waiting outside.
Yin Xiaoxiao got on the carriage first, waved and left first.
What came out of the Xie family's carriage was a handsome-looking man.
Xie Mingxi was a little surprised and stepped forward and shouted: "Second uncle, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Xie Ming.
Xie Ming was born dull and not good at words, so he told the truth: "Brother ordered the carriages and horses this morning and asked the steward to pick you up. Mom was worried, so she asked me to come."
It turned out to be Xu's idea.
Xie Mingxi smiled and accepted the kindness of Xu's mother and son: "Thank you, uncle."
Just as he was about to get on the carriage, the sixth princess's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Wait a minute!" (To be continued)
