Seeing the two of them chatting affectionately, Xie Yunxi secretly regretted it.
Unexpectedly, the girl who fainted outside the academy actually had a great background.
If she had known this, she should have been pretending at that time. She got Xie Mingxi's advantage in vain, and with a few ginseng pills, she made friends with Lin Yushi's daughter... and Yin Xiaoxiao from before!
I really don’t know what’s good about the sharp-tongued Xie Mingxi!
She is just a humble concubine, but they all regard her with special regard. Here she is, the serious legitimate daughter of the Xie family, but no one cares about her! It is simply hateful and annoying!
Xie Yunxi felt angry and quickened her pace.
"Yun Niang," the familiar voice of Princess Yongning sounded.
Xie Yunxi cheered up and agreed, walked over quickly, and threw herself into the arms of Princess Yongning coquettishly: "Mom! After taking the exam all day long, my wrists are sore and painful, and I don't even have the strength to hold chopsticks."
The frosty Princess Yongning's face softened slightly at this time, and she gently stroked Xie Yunxi's hair: "Go back to the house first!" Then she frowned slightly: "Where is Madam Ming? Why aren't I with you?"
Xie Yunxi finally took the opportunity to file a complaint. He quickly told what happened today with added jealousy: "...she deliberately sat far away through this matter, and I..."
With excitement, the voice could not help but become louder.
It immediately attracted many curious eyes.
Xie Yunxi didn't realize it and wanted to say it again.
Princess Yongning coughed and interrupted Xie Yunxi: "You're tired too, so get on the carriage and rest. I'll wait for Ming Niang here."
Diancui stepped forward with a look, held Xie Yunxi's arm and said, "I will help the second lady get on the carriage."
Xie Yunxi then stopped talking and got on the carriage obediently.
Princess Yongning stood there with a gloomy expression. After waiting for a while, she saw Xie Mingxi, who had arrived late. Xie Mingxi saluted, "Thank you, mother. Please wait for me."
Princess Yongning's gaze swept across Xie Mingxi's face like a blade, and she said coldly: "Get in the carriage and wait."
…
Candidates were picked up one by one. The number of carriages outside the academy gradually decreased.
The carriage from Princess Yongning's Mansion has been waiting at the same place.
Xie Yunxi wanted to open her mouth several times, but when she saw Princess Yongning's serious expression, she immediately kept her mouth shut. Although they were her biological mother and daughter, Xie Yunxi was always inexplicably timid towards Princess Yongning and did not dare to be too wanton.
Xie Mingxi saw it in her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Half an hour later, the sky darkened. Almost all the carriages outside the academy were gone. The lone carriage was quite eye-catching.
A young woman who looked like a maid walked quickly to the carriage and said softly: "Master Sun ordered the servant to come and deliver the message. Everything is safe and without any mistakes. The princess can return home in peace."
This is the maid sent specially by Master Sun to deliver the letter.
Princess Yongning breathed a sigh of relief and without saying much, she opened her mouth and ordered to set off back to her mansion.
By the time the carriage returned to the mansion, it was already dark.
The main door of the princess's mansion was wide open, and the hanging glazed lamps shone with a dazzling and bright luster. Xie Jun, Xie Yuanting and his son were both waiting at the door.
Seeing the carriage in the distance, the father and son hurried over to greet them. Xie Jun tenderly stretched out his hand to help, while Xie Yuanting stood on the other side and also extended his arm.
Princess Yongning had to pretend to be in front of others. She allowed her husband and son to help her get out of the carriage, but in fact her heart was churning and nauseated.
Xie Yunxi got off the carriage immediately and received the kind care from his father and brother.
"Yun Niang, did the exam go well?"
"I see that the second sister has a rosy complexion and is full of confidence. She will definitely pass the exam."
Xie Yunxi kept in mind Princess Yongning's instructions and showed great confidence in front of her father and brother: "The results will be released in three days. Father, please wait for the good news!"
Before he finished speaking, a gentle chuckle sounded from behind him.
Xie Yunxi was so impatient that she couldn't resist the slightest teasing, so she immediately turned around and glared: "Third sister, are you laughing at me?"
Xie Mingxi got out of the carriage slowly: "I only laughed once, how can I say it as a joke? Is it possible that the second sister is so sensitive because of a guilty conscience?"
Xie Yunxi: "..."
When it comes to words, Xie Yunxi is no match for Xie Mingxi. He was defeated in just a few words.
Xie Jun glanced at Xie Mingxi with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Make a wedding dress for someone!
It is inevitable that Xie Mingxi has resentment in her heart.
Xie Yuanting didn't know what was going on and immediately darkened his face: "Third sister, why are you talking to your sister like this? Why don't you apologize to the second sister quickly?"
Xie Mingxi didn't even raise her eyelids: "I'm tired, let's go back to Bishui Pavilion first."
Then, just leave.
Xie Yuanting was shocked and angry at the same time: "Father, the third sister left without resigning! It's really annoying to be so vulgar and disrespectful. I must punish her severely..."
"Shut up!" Xie Jun's face darkened: "Ming Niang must be exhausted after a day of exams, so it's okay to go back and rest. As an elder brother, you are not only inconsiderate, but you punish me every time you open your mouth. It's really mean!"
Xie Yuanting: "..."
Xie Yuanting's fair and handsome face turned dark red, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "This is what father taught you."
I was secretly angry in my heart.
He is the only son of the Xie family. Even though he is a concubine, he is also very wealthy. For more than ten years, his father Xie Jun has never been willing to say a harsh word. Unexpectedly, today he would scold himself for this stinky girl Xie Mingxi...
Xie Jun was full of thoughts and had no intention of saying more. He waved his hand and said: "Go to the study to reflect. You are not allowed to have dinner tonight."
…
Xie Mansion, Lanxiang Courtyard.
Aunt Ding looked restless and worried all day long.
Wen Qi whispered: "It's getting late, and it's time for my aunt to have dinner."
Aunt Ding let out a long sigh: "I have no intention of finishing the meal. Just leave!"
I don’t know if Xie Mingxi was obedient and signed Xie Yunxi’s name on the test paper...
If Xie Mingxi is resentful and deliberately "fails" during the exam, causing Xie Yunxi to fail the exam, Princess Yongning will definitely be furious and blame her and Xie Yuanting for this...
The more Aunt Ding thought about it, the more panicked she became, but there was nothing she could do, so she just sat there all night.
…
The houses in Lianchi Academy are brightly lit.
The masters who teach women's music, music, cooking and other subjects are not qualified to take the test. Those who stay here are all talented masters from Lianchi Academy. They are evenly split between men and women, and some of them are Hanlin scholars of the dynasty, and there are also great scholars in the capital.
.
All the masters gathered in the school building where classes were held on weekdays. They were divided into groups and sat in five study rooms. The large tables were covered with test papers. The masters did not dare to be negligent, and they all concentrated on marking the test papers.
It is quite inconvenient for men and women to live in the same room.
The Lotus Pond Academy has been in existence for more than ten years. The masters felt it was awkward at first, but now they are gradually getting used to it. The masters lowered their heads and were busy, and there was only the faint sound of turning test papers, and no one spoke.
Master Ji also lowered his head to read the papers.
The 500 test papers were divided into five groups, with 100 papers in each group. It was not easy to judge 20 first-class papers from these 100 papers. Each paper had to be reviewed carefully.
