The seventh prince died young, the eighth prince and the ninth prince were young, so there were only two, three, four, and four princes who were eligible to compete for the position of the East Palace.
Although the second prince had a long name, his talent and learning were mediocre, and he also had oral problems, which made Emperor Jianwen not happy.
The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, was from the Yu family and was the cousin of Queen Yu. Due to this blood relationship, the third prince took advantage of it and was the most dignified in the Jiaofang Palace.
The movements in the harem have always been closely related to the court. Officials who joined the third prince's team early in the process spared no effort to praise and promote him. The third prince was also the most vocal in seizing the throne.
In terms of appearance, temperament, and temperament, the fourth prince was most similar to Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen naturally loved this son very much.
The biological mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Li, is the niece of the late Princess Huainan. It is natural that the Huainan Prince's Palace and the fourth prince have close contact.
As a result, Queen Yu was of course not so pleased with the Huainan Prince's Mansion. The Prince of Huainan had already "learned" how bad the pillow wind was. She suffered a lot of hidden losses in the past few years.
Because of this, King Huainan acted more cautiously.
The prince of Huainan suddenly realized: "My father has really thought carefully."
Zhou Mi is a fart!
Anyone with a brain can think of it, okay?
The King of Huainan felt tired when he saw the stupid-looking prince, and waved his hand and said: "Okay, please step aside first. I have to go to the palace to ask for a place for Jinyue to be admitted without taking the exam."
This morning, Lianchi Academy released the results, and Sheng Jinyue "lived up to expectations" and did not pass the exam.
Children and grandchildren are debts!
For the sake of his granddaughter’s future, he had to bow his head to Queen Yu again. King Huainan felt depressed and panicked just thinking about it!
The Crown Prince of Huainan smiled coquettishly and said flatteringly: "Thank you, Father."
…
Snow Fragrance Pavilion.
Intermittent crying came from the house.
Sheng Xuan was so coaxed that her mouth went dry. Seeing that Sheng Jinyue was still crying and crying, Sheng Xuan had no patience to coax her any more: "Why are you crying so hard? Grandfather has already entered the palace to seek a place for you to study without taking the exam."
"In five days, you will be able to register and enroll in Lianchi Academy together with other freshmen."
"What else do you have to cry about?"
Sheng Jinyue's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she said with grievance: "On the day of the literary meeting, I made an oath in front of everyone. I said that I would be admitted to the academy based on my own ability and never ask for a place in the interview."
"When I go to the academy in the future, they will laugh at me. Especially Xie Mingxi..."
For a twelve-year-old girl, there is nothing greater than "humiliation".
Thinking of being ridiculed and mercilessly ridiculed by Xie Mingxi, Sheng Jinyue couldn't help crying again.
How abominable!
Why did Xie Mingxi come first in the exam! But she was not on the list! God, it’s so unfair!
Half a day later, the admission list announced by Lianchi Academy had spread throughout the capital. Xie Mingxi, who topped the list, also appeared in everyone's eyes with a high profile.
Sheng Xuan thought of the beautiful and cunning little girl, and an intense heat passed through her heart.
So beautiful, so smart.
He is a person who is born to be prosperous.
…
Li Mansion.
The Li family members felt a bit regretful after receiving the good news.
The second place is, of course, an excellent place. Compared to the first place, it is still a step below. Given the Li family's status at this time, what they lack is the glory and glory that the first place brings.
"Mom, where is my sister?" Li Mo asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Li gave a bitter smile: "I have been locking myself in the house and refused to come out to see others. No matter how much I try to persuade her, it's useless."
Li Xiangru has been extremely talented since he was a child, far better than other girls of the same age. He has also developed a arrogant and arrogant attitude. This time, his enemy is determined to win the title, but he never expected to lose at the hands of Xie Mingxi. How can he be willing to accept it?
Li Mo walked to the door and knocked gently: "Sister!"
The two brothers and sisters have always had a very good relationship.
After a while, Li Xiangru, with red eyes, opened the door and called out "big brother" in a muffled voice.
"It's a great joy to pass the entrance examination to Lianchi Academy. My father and mother plan to hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends in two days." Li Mo deliberately made Li Xiangru happy, and said in a very brisk tone: "If it were anyone else, I don't know how happy you would be. It's better for you to hide.
Crying and wiping tears in the house."
He thoughtfully did not mention the word second place, so as not to hurt Li Xiangru's fragile heart.
Li Xiangru said with a flat mouth: "It's okay to lose to others, but I lost to Xie Mingxi! Brother, you don't know, she bullied me in every possible way on the day of the exam. She and I are incompatible!"
Li Mo laughed dumbly: "The hatred is so great that it has become irreconcilable...Okay, okay, don't cry. I will find a way to vent my anger for you in the future."
Li Xiangru finally stopped crying: "Brother, you said this yourself. Don't go back on it!"
Li Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of evil on his handsome face: "If you want to deal with a mere yellow-haired girl, you can easily catch her!"
…
Lin Mansion.
"Great! Weiwei actually got third place in the exam!" Mrs. Lin was overjoyed and smiled from ear to ear.
Lin Yushi smiled proudly: "We Weiwei are already very smart. It's just that we were unlucky in the past few years. We all fainted from nervousness outside the examination room and missed the exam."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "Thanks to Miss Xie San this time." She also praised: "Miss Xie San is kind-hearted and extremely smart. This time she actually beat Mr. Li Ge's granddaughter and got the first place in the exam."
Lin Yushi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "You are so outstanding and outstanding, even if you are a commoner, you are worthy of making friends. I will have someone prepare a generous gift and send it to the Xie Mansion."
Mrs. Lin also had this idea: "The master and I thought of going together. The friendship between a girl's family depends not only on the family background, but also on the person. Miss Xie San is so outstanding, it is just right for Wei Wei to be friends with her."
…
Yin Mansion.
General Yin took the bright red good news and laughed.
Mrs. Yin was funny but helpless: "You have been laughing for a long time and you are not afraid of your mouth being crooked. Xiaoxiao is really lucky this time and ranks at the bottom of the list."
"What happened to the bottom of the list!" General Yin, who was handsome, mighty and devoted to his daughter, said plausibly: "As long as you pass the exam, the last place is the same as the first place."
"Xiaoxiao is good at riding and shooting, so she will naturally suffer in the exam. When I enter the academy, I will see how powerful I, Xiaoxiao, am!"
Mrs. Yin was amused: "Yes, yes, in your eyes, Xiaoxiao is better than anyone else. Even Miss Xie San, who got the first place in the exam, is not as good as Xiaoxiao. That's alright!"
General Yin thought seriously for a moment: "Being able to get the first place in the exam shows that Miss Xie San is smart and outstanding. Xiaoxiao also mentioned her often in the past few days. We will study in the academy together in the future. We are classmates, so we might as well make friends."
"We will prepare a congratulatory gift and send it to Xie's family."
Mrs. Yin responded with a smile.
Then, Mrs. Yin smiled and sighed again: "No one asked me about her for ten years, and she became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. These words are quite appropriate when applied to Miss Xie San."
In the past, everyone only knew that Xie Yunxi lived in the Xie Mansion, and no one knew about Miss Xie San.
Today, the name of Miss Xie San is well-known in the capital, and no one knows it!
