In Chunjin Pavilion, it was extremely lively today.
Yan Zhenzhen started to offend people with her words: "Sister Xie, why is the yard where you live so small! My yard is twice as big as this yard at least."
On normal days, Xie Mingxi would have retorted rudely. However, "harmony and friendship" are important right now, and it is not appropriate to start a verbal dispute...
We need to settle accounts after the academy competition is over.
Xie Mingxi smiled magnanimously: "My father's official position is not high, so the Xie Mansion cannot be compared with the Yan Mansion."
Sheng Jinyue curled her lips: "If it weren't for my aunt, even this house would not be easy to buy."
In the capital, if you want to buy a house in a good location, you can't buy it with just money. If it weren't for Princess Yongning's reputation, Xie Jun wouldn't have been able to buy this house back then.
Xie Mingxi made another entry for Sheng Jinyue in her account book, and continued to laugh it off in a good-tempered way.
Lin Weiwei couldn't listen anymore and said unhappily: "We came together today to discuss tomorrow's competition, but you are picking on the Xie Mansion."
"That's right," Yin Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation: "Stop talking nonsense, business is important."
The sixth princess didn't say anything, she just glanced over coolly.
Public anger is hard to offend!
Yan Zhenzhen and Sheng Jinyue could only stop talking angrily.
…
Li Xiangru slowly opened his mouth and said: "Sister Xie, tomorrow is the academy competition. According to the practice in previous years, the first competition is etiquette. In other words, you and Sister Xiao and Sister Mu will be competing tomorrow."
At the moment of the competition, the personal grudges between Li Xiangru and Xie Mingxi have also been temporarily put aside.
Xie Mingxi nodded: "Yes. Therefore, the three of us must win the first prize in one fell swoop tomorrow to boost our momentum!"
Xiao Yuhan and Mu Wanting agreed.
The three disciplines of Rites and Music have always been the strengths of Lianchi Academy. There is nothing to worry about.
In addition to the team scores, there are also individual rankings for each event. For each competition, three people from each of the six major academies are selected, making a total of eighteen people. It is not easy to win the top three among eighteen people.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she said calmly: "Our goal is to win the top three!"
Girls: "..."
The only one who spoke in agreement was the less talkative Sixth Princess: "There is nothing wrong with this goal."
The higher the ranking, the higher the individual's score. The overall team score of the academy is the accumulation of individual scores. Therefore, everyone must go all out to strive for the best ranking and the highest score.
Xiao Yuhan and Mu Wanting looked at each other and felt strong confidence in their hearts: "Okay, let's compete for the top three together!"
Of course it's not just about shouting slogans.
Xie Mingxi whispered again about the things that should be paid special attention to. Xiao Yuhan and Mu Wanting listened and nodded in agreement. They completely forgot to ask why Xie Mingxi was so familiar with the process of the academy competition.
After that, it was the turn of Li Xiang, Lin Weiwei, Sheng Jinyue and others to participate in the music competition.
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "The three of you have been practicing for a long time. Don't be nervous during the competition. Just perform normally. How about Sister Li and Sister Lin taking the top two?"
Li Xiang Rulin responded slightly.
Sheng Jinyue couldn't help but protest: "Xie Mingxi, why did you only miss me?"
Xie Mingxi was particularly talkative today and immediately changed her tune: "You should win third place in the music competition!"
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
Sheng Jinyue was the most handsome one and had practiced hard for two months for the music competition. However, no matter how confident she was, she did not dare to say that she could get third place... There were also music masters in other academies!
…
Xie Mingxi choked the talkative Sheng Jinyue with one sentence, and then said to Fang Ruomeng, Qin Sihun and Yan Zhenzhen: "In the competition of the Four Books and Five Classics, our Lianchi Academy has always had good results over the years. However, if we want to compete for the top three,
Not easy. Last year, Lu Chi from Songzhu Academy came out on top..."
Xie Mingxi has obviously made sufficient preparations. He has a lot of treasures from the academy competitions in the past few years. He also specially reminded Fang Ruomeng: "The Four Books and Five Classics have a link of debate. Don't be timid and nervous. You must hold your head high and express your opinions directly."
Fang Ruomeng solemnly nodded in agreement.
The three people participating in the arithmetic competition are Xie Mingxi, Li Xiang, and Lin Weiwei.
Xie Mingxi didn't say much and simply said: "Strive for the top three."
The so-called striving, of course, means doing your best. Arithmetic has always been the weak point of Lianchi Academy, and it ranks at the bottom every year.
Li Xiang and Ru Lin nodded slightly together.
"Shooting the two gates," Xie Mingxi paused for a moment, then her eyes fell on the faces of the Sixth Princess and Yin Xiaoxiao: "It depends on you two."
Fang Ruomeng, who participated in archery, and Tong Yue, who participated in horse riding, naturally had no objection to this statement. They had been practicing hard, but they were still far behind the Sixth Princess and Yin Xiaoxiao.
Yin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows confidently and smiled: "Don't worry! I will strive for a good ranking."
The sixth princess simply said four words: "I will take first place!"
Girls: "..."
Even Xie Mingxi's expression was a bit subtle: "The first place in Sheyu the year before last was all the Fourth Prince. This year, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was selected into the competition list of Songzhu Academy."
"Shouldn't freshmen be allowed to participate in the college competition?" Yin Xiaoxiao was a little aggrieved: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has participated in the college competition for two consecutive years. Counting this year, this is the third time."
Xie Mingxi laughed: "Perhaps, I will participate next year and the year after that."
Girls: "..."
So, Songzhu Academy is really shameless.
In order to maintain the first place, in addition to the necessary nine freshmen places, the remaining nine places were selected from the best students in the previous year's competition.
Thinking of this, all the girls couldn't help but become nervous.
The sixth princess opened her mouth again at this time: "With me this year, the fourth emperor brother will give up his first place."
Although he seemed to be bragging, he was still one of our own. The girls applauded him in a dignified manner.
Only Li Xiangru firmly supported his sweetheart: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince shoots Yu Wushuang. Although His Highness the Sixth Princess is also outstanding, she is still not as good as her."
The sixth princess glanced at Li Xiangru.
Xie Mingxi broke the silence with a smile: "In short, we have made a bet with Master Dong, and Master Gu and Master Meng have also made a bet. The success or failure depends on us."
Yin Xiaoxiao blurted out: "My father even asked someone to bet a thousand taels on us to come first!"
Lin Weiwei also smiled and said: "My mother asked someone to deposit five hundred taels."
Yan Zhenzhen said angrily: "I also placed a bet, but I used my private money. A total of six hundred taels. If I lose this time, I will become a pauper."
Even Fang Ruomeng admitted coyly: "I don't have much private money, only one hundred taels, and I have already bet it all."
It turns out that everyone bet on Lianchi Academy being ranked first!
The girls looked at each other and smiled, showing strong confidence in their eyes!
