Master Ji smiled again and said: "Congratulations to the third lady of your house for being the first in high school!"
Everyone: "..."
Princess Yongning was confused and blurted out: "Master, did you remember it wrong? It should be Yun Niang who passed the academy!"
Xie Yunxi's mind got excited and she actually asked: "Master, did you get the name wrong?"
Xie Jun frowned, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xie Mingxi, who looked as usual, and a not-so-good premonition suddenly surged in his heart...
This hunch was immediately verified!
Master Ji frowned slightly and said in a flat voice: "The name on the good news is clearly written, it is Xie Mingxi! Can I still admit my mistake?"
boom!
It was like a thunderbolt from the blue!
Before Princess Yongning could recover from the shock, Xie Yunxi blushed, turned around suddenly, pointed at Xie Yunxi and shouted angrily: "Xie Yunxi! You must have caused trouble on the test paper! You didn't sign my name at all!
"
Xie Mingxi didn't know when her eyes filled with tears, and she choked softly: "Second sister really wronged me. After last night's test paper, I clearly signed the name of second sister. The teacher who inspected the examination at that time confirmed it again and again, and ordered someone to send it away
I wrote a message to my mother. Wasn’t my second sister also there to hear it with her own ears?"
How could Xie Yunxi understand such "self-assertion of innocence"? She rushed forward angrily and grabbed Xie Yunxi's lapel: "Who knows what you did secretly!"
Master Ji: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Princess Yongning was angry, hateful and furious, her cold and pretty face suddenly red and white, and sparks almost bursting out of her eyes.
Xie Yunxi, this idiot! No matter how angry and angry he is, he can't shout out in public. He's just a servant of the princess's palace! The wife of Lianchi Academy is still standing here!
Taking the exam for yourself is a big taboo!
Never spread it out!
Otherwise, not only will Xie Mingxi lose her fame and fortune, but her reputation as the dignified Princess Yongning will also be ruined.
…
Princess Yongning bit her silver teeth into pieces and had to suppress her anger. She scolded Xie Yunxi first: "Yunniang, shut up! The master of Lianchi Academy is here, how can you talk nonsense!"
Xie Yunxi couldn't react in time and didn't hear the hint in Princess Yongning's words. She covered her face and cried: "I don't care! In short, I am the one who should enter Lianchi Academy! Not Xie Mingxi at all!"
Xie Mingxi's eyes turned red and she said softly: "I don't know what happened. I swear to God, after I finish the test paper, it is indeed Xie Yunxi's name that is signed!"
However, the writing brush used for signing has been soaked in a special potion, and after an hour, the writing will become blank.
The last pen used had also been soaked in another potion in advance. After writing the name, it was completely blank without any trace, and it took twelve hours for it to appear.
Such a rare potion is naturally not ordinary.
Back then, she saw the recipe in a broken ancient book and found it interesting. She tried it several times before making it successfully. She later used it in letters to convey secret messages.
Xie Yunxi was still crying bitterly.
Xie Jun's face became increasingly ugly.
Xie Yuanting was shocked. The answers to all the abnormalities in these days were instantly revealed...
No wonder the gentle and docile third sister is uncharacteristically sharp, no wonder the mother is quite tolerant to the third sister, no wonder the father is so tolerant to the third sister! The third sister takes the test for her feelings!
Princess Yongning's temples were pounding and she was furious. This was not the time to get to the bottom of the matter. The most important thing was to suppress the matter first.
"Thank you Yunxi!" Princess Yongning's voice was as cold as ice: "Enter the mansion immediately!"
"But..." Xie Yunxi was full of grievances, crying and raised her head, but was shocked by the coldness in Princess Yongning's eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.
Although her mother has a cold temperament, she is quite gentle to her. She has never been called by her name so directly, let alone so coldly.
"Go in!" Princess Yongning said two words coldly.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Xie Yunxi did not dare to cry anymore. She glared at Xie Mingxi fiercely, then turned around and entered the house while wiping her tears.
Xie Yuanting hesitated for a moment and then chased after him: "Second sister, I will take you back to Yunshui Pavilion."
Xie Yuanting and Xie Yunxi grew up together, got along well with each other, and had a good relationship. Even for their aunt, Xie Yuanting would be more interested in Xie Yunxi.
…
Princess Yongning breathed out the turbid air in her chest deeply and forced out a smile to apologize: "My little girl is ignorant and talks nonsense. Please don't take offense, Master!"
"Before the exam, I casually said a few words to comfort An Yunniang for her sake. Unexpectedly, she actually listened to her heart. That's when it became a joke. It is absolutely impossible to take the exam for me."
Oh!
Do you think everyone else is a fool?
Xie Yunxi can still explain it by "talking nonsense". What is the explanation for what Xie Mingxi said?
Master Ji glanced at Xie Mingxi, whose eyes were red and was holding back from crying, and he felt deep pity in his heart. What a poor little girl! She has such amazing talent, but she was forced to take the exam for her!
Soon, it turned into raging anger!
"Lianchi Academy has been established for more than ten years, and freshmen examinations are held every year. Substitute examinations have indeed happened before."
Master Ji said coldly: "Once he is found out, he will be kicked out of the academy and will never be admitted. The list will be published so that the world will know about it. In the past few years, no one has dared to take any risks."
"If the princess's words are true or false, I will find out after I go back to the academy to check."
"Since it is a substitute examination, Miss Xie Xie's test paper must be signed with Miss Xie San's maiden name. The discarded test papers are all collected neatly. You only need to open them to reveal the names and you will know at a glance."
Princess Yongning: "..."
Princess Yongning's expression suddenly changed.
Xie Jun couldn't hold back his anger.
Xie Yunxi is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family! Once the scandal of taking the exam is exposed, he, the minister of Honglu Temple, will become the laughing stock of everyone. How can he have the face to face his colleagues in the future?
"Master, please calm down, please go to the palace first." Xie Jun has the reputation of being the most handsome man in the capital. At this time, his eyebrows are soft and his smile is small. No matter how determined a woman is, it will be difficult to resist him.
Unfortunately, Xie Jun hit a brick wall today.
Master Ji's expression did not change, and he responded calmly: "I will come to the princess's mansion again after the matter of taking the exam is found out."
Princess Yongning suppressed her anger and lowered her head to beg: "Master, please do me a favor and don't publicize this matter for now. As long as you nod your head, I will be rewarded generously!"
Nowadays, the only option is to shamelessly go to the palace to beg Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li came forward to intercede and ordered Empress Yu to be lenient and suppress the matter.
Master Ji, who was upright by nature and hated corruption for personal gain, sneered: "Leave the generous reward from the princess to others! I, Ji Chenyun, really don't dare to accept it."
Princess Yongning was so angry that her pretty face turned pale and she was trembling.
She grew up in the palace and was quite fond of Empress Dowager Li. Her father, King Huainan, also doted on her, the only daughter. Among the royal family members who came and went, who would not support her?
