"The collection of papers has been completed. Everyone should leave the venue in order of their seats. No crowding or jostling." Master Ji's voice sounded again.
All the candidates did not dare to say a word and followed Master Ji's instructions and left one by one.
After taking the exam for a whole day, all the energy was exhausted, and all the candidates looked gloomy. When they walked out of Lianchi Academy, their legs were numb and weak, and their whole bodies seemed to be hollowed out.
Carriages were not allowed to park in front of the academy, and the ladies who came to pick up the candidates stood waiting outside the academy.
At this time, all the ladies still had a proud demeanor. They craned their necks to look around. They even flattered the acquaintances around them unintentionally.
"The daughter of your family is extremely intelligent and will definitely pass the exam this time."
"My daughter is very stupid. She is not smart at all, let alone the ladies in your family. If she is admitted to the high school this time, she will have to set up a few wedding banquets so that we can join in the fun."
"I'm looking forward to hosting a banquet, but I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity."
"Why are you so humble? I'm determined to drink this wedding wine!"
The degree of hypocrisy is no weaker than the coming and going of people in the court.
…
The Crown Princess of Huainan stood beside Princess Yongning.
The Princess of Huainan is already in her thirties. She has a beautiful appearance, her hair is full of pearls, and her makeup is exquisite.
The two sisters and sister-in-law stood together and chatted in low voices.
"Yongning, you are confident and don't panic at all. Are you really sure?" Princess Huainan glanced at the cold and calm face of Princess Yongning and asked casually with a smile.
Sheng Jinyue failed the exam, so she could go through the "back door" and get the place for the interview and admission. Therefore, the Princess of Huainan was not very nervous.
Princess Yongning's confidence is a bit strange.
Xie Yunxi often visited the Huainan Prince's Mansion and grew up under the nose of the Huainan Prince and Concubine. As her aunt, the Huainan Prince and Concubine naturally knew what Xie Yunxi's qualifications were, but she never made it clear.
Why is Princess Yongning so confident?
Faced with the inquiring gaze of the Princess of Huainan, Princess Yongning said calmly, "If you fail the exam, you can take the exam again in two years."
Duplicity!
The Crown Princess of Huainan twitched the corner of her mouth with a half-smile.
Among the noble daughters of the clan, Princess Yongning is one of the best in talent and beauty. She is proud of herself and is better than others. When she married Xie Jun, who came from a poor family, she really shocked everyone.
Xie Jun was born handsome and elegant, and had the reputation of being the most handsome man in the capital. He treated Princess Yongning with gentleness, consideration, and obedience. As time went by, no one mentioned her again.
Princess Yongning only has a daughter like Xie Yunxi, and her expectations for Xie Yunxi are extremely high. If she fails the exam and waits for another two years, how can the arrogant Princess Yongning endure such sulking?
Princess Yongning didn't say much. She glanced around and spotted a familiar figure. She immediately smiled and said, "Jinyue has come out."
The Princess of Huainan was in high spirits and had no time to say anything more. She walked over quickly and asked impatiently: "Jinyue, how did you do in the exam?"
Sheng Jinyue, who was originally full of confidence, after a whole day of exams, was like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted and without any energy. When asked, she managed to cheer up: "It's acceptable."
The Princess of Huainan's heart sank slightly.
Of course, her own mother knows best about her daughter's temperament. If she did well in the exam, she would be full of pride at this moment. If she is so hesitant and low-key now, she obviously didn't do well in the exam...
The best thing is to be able to pass the exam. The quota for interview and admission is a bit weak.
Sheng Jinyue was no longer in the mood to speak, and lowered her head with a heavy heart.
Make zhang and tiles!
What is Queen Yu’s intention in asking this question?
…
Make zhang and tiles!
What’s the explanation?
All the candidates who left the academy were thinking about the same question!
Li Xiangru is no exception.
She is confident that her literary talent is outstanding and unparalleled. The only thing she can worry about is whether her problem solving will win the favor of the Queen! In this exam, she is determined to get the top spot, so she is extremely nervous and concerned.
Xie Yunxi's face looked a little pale, and she bit her lips hard and said nothing.
Yin Xiaoxiao was also worried. She leaned close to Xie Mingxi and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xie, third sister, how do you solve the last problem?"
Xie Yunxi slowed down and glanced over.
After taking the exam for the same day, Xie Mingxi was calm and relaxed, and looked so good that it made people jealous: "Now that the exam is over, we are just waiting for the results to be released. Why bother overthinking and worrying too much, which will only increase worries?"
Yin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "I usually pride myself on being open-minded and cheerful, but when compared with you, I'm far behind. That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll go back first and sleep for two days to replenish my energy."
The last two sentences are lively and playful.
Xie Mingxi smiled.
As soon as Yin Xiaoxiao left, Xie Yunxi came over biting her lip and trying her best to lower her voice: "How did you do in the exam?"
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "I don't know."
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Xie Yunxi stared at him and whispered through gritted teeth: "How could I not know whether I was good or bad in the exam?"
It was obviously a deliberate attempt to make her anxious!
If Xie Mingxi didn't do well in the exam, how could she go to Lianchi Academy?
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth, but before she could speak, her sleeve was pulled by someone.
…
Xie Mingxi didn't like people approaching her at will. She frowned and turned her head. When she saw the person's face clearly, her brows relaxed.
The thirteen-year-old girl holding her sleeve was short, slender, and had a pretty face. It was Miss Lin Si who Xie Mingxi had helped before.
"I've been keeping watch here since I came out, and finally I saw you." Lin Weiwei's eyes sparkled: "Thanks to the few ginseng pills you gave me, I was able to survive the whole day. I don't know where you live.
where?"
Xie Mingxi also wanted to make friends and told her family background with a smile.
Xie Mingxi is the third in the family. Her father is Xie Jun, the minister of Honglu Temple, who is famous for her beauty, and her aunt is the Princess of Yongning.
Lin Weiwei was afraid that she would remember it wrong, so she said it again. After making sure it was correct, she smiled and said, "I will come to thank you tomorrow."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "It's such a small thing, it's nothing to worry about."
"But……"
Xie Mingxi interrupted Lin Weiwei with a smile: "What happened today is also the fate between you and me. If you don't mind that I am a concubine, how about we become friends?"
The censor had a high position and had the power to impeach ministers upon hearing the news. Even if the emperor made a mistake, the censor could also file a memorial.
Lin Yushi was upright and upright, with a good official reputation. He had a close personal relationship with his chief minister, Mr. Lu Ge, and he also had many good friends among the courtiers.
As the only legitimate daughter of the Lin family, Lin Weiwei became acquainted with Xie Mingxi, which was regarded as a low profile.
Lin Weiwei nodded without thinking: "Okay! That's what I meant!" He quickly changed his words: "In that case, I will go to the Princess's Mansion to find you tomorrow."
