Queen Yu and Gu Shanchang looked at each other and smiled.
As a master, when I see my student so outstanding and dazzling, the pride that arises in my heart cannot be described in words. The satisfaction and pleasure it brings are far better than the fine clothes, gold, silver and jewelry.
Emperor Jianwen, who was left out in the cold, deliberately laughed in a low voice and said: "With Xianzhi here, the queen can't even see me in her eyes."
Gu Shanchang: "..."
It was a great honor for the emperor to call her by her given name in such a familiar tone. It was obviously for the sake of Empress Yu...
She just wanted to scream.
There were a lot of concubines and concubines in the palace, and Emperor Jianwen had already violated the vow of "a couple for life". It really made her sick that such a heartless and unjust man could act so affectionately.
answer.
Empress Yu was quite satisfied with this trick, and immediately looked at Emperor Jianwen with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness: "From now on, I will only look after the emperor, what do you think?"
Emperor Jianwen smiled silently and reached out to hold Queen Yu's hand.
The love between the emperor and the empress is evident.
Gu Shanchang looked away expressionlessly. Suddenly he felt that the air here was a bit turbid, making it difficult to breathe.
…
An hour and a half later.
The etiquette competition is all over, and the judges each write down their scores.
The competition is scored in ten points, and the total score of more than ten judges is the student's test score. In order of total score, the first place is worth eighteen points, the second place is worth seventeen points...
By analogy, the last place can only count one point.
The top three in each competition will be ranked on the same day. As for the college rankings, it will have to wait until all six competitions are completed, and the scores of all students will be added up to form a total ranking.
The emperor and empress were both judges, so naturally no one dared to play tricks. Furthermore, the heads of various academies were also there, so no one could deliberately give low marks.
The two arithmetic masters quickly worked out the abacus and quickly calculated the total scores of the students.
Xie Mingxi, 120 points! Well-deserved first place!
There were twelve judges in total. In other words, every judge gave Xie Mingxi full marks.
Such an astonishingly high score has never occurred in etiquette competitions in the past years. When Minister Tobe announced the scores, the audience was amazed.
However, no one raised any objection or was even remotely dissatisfied.
Everyone here has been impressed by Xie Mingxi's style.
Even Emperor Jianwen nodded in approval: "This Xie Mingxi really has the elegance of the queen when she was young." His tone was full of admiration.
Queen Yu glanced at Emperor Jianwen subconsciously.
Xie Mingxi was only ten years old. Even if Emperor Jianwen caught his eye, there was no way he would want to take a concubine...
According to the rules of the palace, the harem is selected once every three years. Every three years, several young and fresh beauties enter the palace. At first, it is like a knife piercing my heart.
Now, she has gradually become numb and accustomed to it.
Empress Yu thought of lightning in her mind and laughed in a low voice: "The emperor appreciates Xie Mingxi so much. After a few years, he might as well issue a decree to marry her and make her his daughter-in-law."
Being a concubine is indeed a disadvantage, but such beautiful and intelligent girls are so radiant that they were born to marry into the royal family.
Emperor Jianwen did not respond directly and smiled casually.
Queen Yu's heart sank slightly.
She met Emperor Jianwen when they were young. They had been married for more than 20 years, and they were so familiar with each other. They were so familiar that they could see into Emperor Jianwen's most obscure thoughts.
Yes, Emperor Jianwen liked Yu Lianniang the most when she was young. At that time, she was beautiful, confident, intelligent, graceful and charming!
Nowadays, Yu Lianniang is old and beautiful. Emperor Jianwen saw Xie Mingxi who looked like the young Yu Lianniang. How could he be unmoved?
Fortunately, Xie Mingxi is still young. No matter how "appreciative" Emperor Jianwen is, he can't summon Xie Mingxi to the palace at this moment. In a few years, it will be hard to say...
However, Xianzhi has decided to accept Xie Mingxi as her disciple. She will never allow Xie Mingxi to enter the palace as a concubine in the future. Even for Xianzhi's face, she will protect Xie Mingxi.
Queen Yu's thoughts were racing, but her face showed no expression. Not even Gu Shanchang, who was beside her, could detect anything strange about Queen Yu's mood.
Having been in charge of the harem for more than ten years, Empress Yu has long been a queen in the middle palace who can't express her emotions or anger.
…
"Ah ah ah, you actually won the top three!"
"You really stole the show today and brought glory to our Lotus Pond Academy."
Xie Mingxi, Xiao Yuhan, and Mu Wanting were surrounded by excited and smiling classmates.
Xie Mingxi was first, Xiao Yuhan was second, and Mu Wanting was third.
Lianchi Academy won the top three in the etiquette competition on the first day. According to the scoring rules, today's total score was fifty-one points, firmly ranking first!
Xiao Yuhan and Mu Wanting were full of excitement.
Xie Mingxi also curved her lips and smiled in her eyes.
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously and asked: "Xie sister, how does it feel to win the first place?"
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile: "Finally, we have achieved the goal we set, and we have not lost the reputation of being a boaster."
All the girls laughed.
Xie Mingxi looked at Li Xiang, Ru Lin, Wei Wei, Sheng Jinyue and the others again, with solemn expressions: "Tomorrow, it will be up to you."
Even Li Xiangru had to admit that Xie Mingxi was worthy of being the headmaster of Haitang Academy at this time! In just one sentence, everyone's morale was boosted.
Li Xiangru took a deep breath: "Don't worry, we will do our best."
…
In the midst of the excitement, Chief Gu Shan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at the somewhat ugly-looking Chief Meng, and humbly said: "The result of today's competition is beyond my expectation. It seems that they are lucky.
not bad."
Meng Shan replied with a smile: "Mr. Gu is too self-effacing. There are many talents in Lianchi Academy, and the new students are outstanding, even better than last year."
Chief Meng Shan said that he was generous, but in his heart he was almost so stunned that he vomited blood!
Etiquette has always been the strong point of Lianchi Academy. The strength of Songzhu Academy is the three courses of Shushuyu. Master Meng knew that he was inferior to Lianchi Academy in this course, so he simply selected three freshmen.
The candidates for the competition of the Three Shooting Guards are all the most elite lineups.
The failure in the etiquette competition was already expected.
But he never expected that Lianchi Academy would take the top three spots in one fell swoop. Not to mention being far ahead in total points, the momentum also increased. On the other hand, Songzhu Academy suffered a big defeat in the beginning and their morale was low.
If they want to regain their disadvantage, Songzhu Academy must win the top three in the next competition!
Thinking about Shu She Yu, thinking about Lu Chi, Sheng Xuan, Li Mo and the three princes who were about to participate in the competition, Meng Shanchang's mood finally improved a little.
Gu Shanchang obviously guessed that Meng Shanchang wanted to have sex, and he smiled.
Number of shots?
There are four young masters of Songzhu and other princes in Songzhu Academy. There are also six princesses of Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao in Lianchi Academy!
