The Sixth Princess smiled slyly, with a lively look on her face.
At this time, the Sixth Princess no longer had the gloomy, talkative appearance of her friend in Xie Mingxi's memory.
There was no moment that made Xie Mingxi realize more clearly than this moment that the silent and gloomy Sixth Princess of the past had completely disappeared. Instead, there was this smart, bold, sincere and cunning girl in front of her.
She was finally able to let go of the regret of losing her friend and truly accept the new "Sixth Princess"!
Even though Xie Mingxi had so many thoughts in her heart, she still only had two words out of her mouth: "Thank you."
These two short words made the Sixth Princess elated, and her eyes flashed with an unprecedented look. She couldn't wait to hold Xie Mingxi's hand: "Don't you blame me for making my own decisions?"
Are you really willing to let go of your heart and truly accept the new me?
The sixth princess's fingers were long and slender, but unexpectedly warm and strong.
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Am I so ignorant of good and evil in your eyes?"
In this world, there are people who treat you sincerely, who care about you wholeheartedly, who are happy for you and angry for your anger.
How can we live up to such true feelings?
Sheng Anping, no matter what kind of person you have been, no matter where you come from, no matter what your identity is. From today on, you are my true friend, Xie Mingxi, and I will never give up!
Xie Mingxi, who rarely showed her emotions, had clear eyes at this time, clearly showing her sincerity in fully accepting her friend.
While the Sixth Princess was pleasantly surprised, she was also secretly complaining.
His "true" identity is definitely a huge "surprise". With Xie Mingxi's temperament, how will she react when the truth is revealed?
...Forget it, don’t think about these things for now.
We’ll talk about what happens next.
At least, the relationship between the two is now close and harmonious, and Xie Mingxi has truly opened her heart and lungs to accept herself.
The Sixth Princess felt a mixture of bitterness and joy in her heart, and carefully controlled the expression on her face to avoid being caught by the keen and careful Xie Mingxi.
…
"The third lady has returned home!"
The concierge's feet were like wind, and he came to report with a face full of joy.
Mr. Xie, who originally planned to take a nap, immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, please invite the third lady over immediately. Have someone send a message to the old lady and the others to come together."
As for Aunt Ding and Xie Yunxi who are still "reflecting"... they should just continue to stay in the yard honestly! Don't come out to disturb everyone.
Mrs. Xu quickly came with everyone in the second room.
Xie Mingxi also soon appeared in front of everyone.
Mr. Xie had a loving look on his face and said with a cheerful smile: "Ming Niang, you are finally back. Please sit down and rest."
Mrs. Xu personally poured a cup of tea, held it in front of Xie Mingxi, and said with a cheerful smile: "Ming Niang, it's really thanks to you this time. I bet five hundred taels, and it doubled ten times, turning into five thousand."
Two are back."
Xie Mingxi naturally knew about Xu's bet on the number one spot in Lianchi Academy. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's my grandmother who has a good eye."
Mr. Xie felt a little sad.
If I had known this, I would have just bet a thousand taels instead of a hundred taels!
However, Mr. Xie was very shameless and did not want to say this in front of Xie Mingxi. Instead, he smiled and said: "This time, Lianchi Academy defeated Songzhu Academy and won the first place. It is beautiful and has a long face. The Queen must have a reward!"
"
Xie Mingxi smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Xie Jun, who was drunk, came back with the help of Chang Sui.
"Ming Niang, my dear Ming Niang," Xie Jun's steps were unsteady, but his laughter was particularly loud: "This time you have made my father proud."
As he spoke, he let out a loud wine burp. The strong smell of alcohol rushed towards him.
…
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly and stepped aside calmly: "Father, don't blame me now for being too arrogant and bragging about taking first place!"
Xie Jun had already forgotten this incident and said disapprovingly: "Only with strength can you have the confidence to win the championship. How is this arrogance!"
Then, he smiled happily and said: "Those who originally looked down on Lianchi Academy are now boasting about you. At today's banquet, those colleagues also rushed to praise my goddaughter."
"Ming Niang, you really stole the show this time. You ranked first in etiquette and arithmetic. Later, you took the place of your classmates to compete in the horse riding competition, and your results were quite good."
"This is the real combination of civil and military skills! She is worthy of being my Xie Jun's daughter!"
"Such a happy event requires a banquet to celebrate."
Mrs. Xu immediately asked: "Should we send someone to send a letter to the princess's mansion, asking the princess to return to the mansion for discussion?"
No matter what, Princess Yongning is Xie Mingxi's aunt. On some occasions, it is most appropriate for her to step in.
Xie Jun said: "There is no need to discuss it with her. Let mother take care of it for a while, and then invite the princess back to the house to show her face on the day of the banquet."
Even if Princess Yongning refuses to come back, it doesn't matter.
Nowadays, the Xie family has become famous because of Xie Mingxi. When people mention the Xie family, the first person they mention must be Miss Xie San! If Princess Yongning does not return to the Xie Mansion, it will not have much impact.
What is even more exciting for Xie Jun is yet to come.
Xie Mingxi said softly: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with my father."
"Chief Gu Shanzhang wants to accept me as his disciple. He also asked my father to prepare a ceremony for me to become a disciple and personally lead me there to become my disciple."
…
Do you want to worship Master Gu as your teacher?
Xie Jun's eyes lit up, and most of his drunkenness suddenly faded away, and he suddenly sobered up a lot: "Are you telling the truth? Chief Gu Shanzhang is really willing to accept you as his disciple?"
Xie Mingxi smiled lightly: "How dare I talk nonsense about such an important matter!"
Xie Jun was overjoyed and said hello repeatedly.
Even Mr. Xie was very happy.
Mrs. Xu didn't quite understand why Xie Mingxi was so happy to be a disciple.
However, Old Master Xie and Xie Jun are so excited, obviously this is the best thing: "Ajun, isn't it a great joy for Ming Niang to become the disciple of Chang Gushan?"
"Of course." Xie Jun was in a very good mood, and looked at Xu more favorably than before: "Gu Shan was born in a famous family, and was a close friend of the Queen. He was in charge of the Lotus Pond Academy, and he had a noble character. He was also the calligrapher of the dynasty.
Everyone is deeply respected."
"Grandmaster Gu has never married and has no children. Now that she is willing to accept Ming Niang as her disciple, she will definitely teach her carefully. Maybe in the future, she will also pass on the title of mountain chief of Lianchi Academy to Ming Niang.
"
This is a great event falling from the sky!
Xie Mingxi won two first places in the competition, which was a good thing to gain prestige. But it was not as beneficial as being accepted as a disciple by Chief Gu Shan!
"Today is truly a double happiness!" Mr. Xie said with a smile, "Ajun, without further ado, go and bathe and change clothes immediately and prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. In the afternoon, you will lead Ming Niang to the apprenticeship."
It is better to become a disciple sooner rather than later.
First decide on the title of master and disciple, and then hold a banquet later.
