Princess Yongning's face was frighteningly white, and her eyes shone with frightening ferocity, cruelty and coldness.
Xie Mingxi no longer covered herself with a mask, her expression was as calm as ice. Like an indestructible mountain, it remained unmoved despite the wind and rain!
This long and silent contest ended, as expected, with Xie Mingxi’s victory!
"Okay, I promise you!"
Princess Yongning squeezed out a few words through her teeth.
Xie Mingxi's expression remained unchanged and she said coldly: "I hope the princess will remember today's promise! If there is even the slightest hint of in vain, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xie Mingxi's figure quickly disappeared from sight.
Princess Yongning looked stiff and did not move for a long time. The surging anger and the humiliation of being humiliated kept burning her chest. Her internal organs seemed to be on fire.
However, after the anger burned out, what was left was boundless panic and pain.
At some point, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.
She has lived in the palace since she can remember. Empress Dowager Li was ruthless, cold and selfish, but she was kind to her.
Since she lost her biological mother, she regarded Empress Dowager Li as her mother. Her words, deeds, and even her habit of being shy about speaking out were all influenced by Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li and Empress Yu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have been fighting for more than 20 years. Everyone knows that they are at odds with each other. If Empress Dowager Li's scandal is exposed, how can the smart and decisive Empress Yu let go of such a good opportunity?
No matter how humiliated she was, she had to bow her head and give in.
Xie Mingxi...
Where did you learn about such a secret thing?
And what did you do during the exam that day? Why did your signature change back to Xie Mingxi?
Could it be that there really is a god standing three feet high?
Princess Yongning felt a chill in her heart.
…
Early the next morning, Princess Yongning returned to the Princess's Mansion without even saying hello.
Xie Jun wished he could not face Princess Yongning's cold face, and Aunt Ding secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only Xie Yuanting was in a dilemma.
Xie Jun looked like he planned to stay in the Xie Mansion for a long time, and would not return to the Princess Mansion at least in the short term.
What should he do?
Should you stay at Xie's house? Or go back to the princess's mansion shamelessly?
If you stay, Princess Yongning will definitely be dissatisfied.
Returning to the Princess' Mansion, things were not going well either. Princess Yongning was so angry that it would be strange not to express her anger to him!
In the final analysis, it’s all Xie Mingxi’s fault!
If it weren't for her, how could he be in this situation?
Xie Yuanting had a gloomy handsome face. When he met Xie Mingxi, he didn't look good at all. He said angrily: "It's time to report to Lianchi Academy tomorrow! Don't you need to pack your bags? You are wandering around here."
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xie Yuanting and said with a faint smile: "There are maids to do such things. Besides, Lianchi Academy only provides a place to rest at noon. After school, I will take a carriage back home. No need to pack my bags!"
The two brothers and sisters, one grew up in the princess's mansion and the other grew up in Xie's family, rarely talked to each other on weekdays.
Xie Yuanting wanted to act like an elder brother, but Xie Mingxi pushed back with a few words, looking rather unhappy.
Aunt Ding felt sorry for her son and couldn't help but scolded her: "Ming Niang, why are you talking to your brother like this! It's in vain that you have studied for so many years and don't know how to respect your brother!"
Aunt Ding stood on her side without hesitation.
Xie Yuanting finally liked Aunt Ding a little: "What Aunt Ding said makes sense!"
Just a few words made Aunt Ding feel happy.
In the past few days, she had been very attentive and took good care of Xie Yuanting's food, clothing and daily life. However, Xie Yuanting always ignored her.
I finally have a smile today.
Aunt Ding grasped the trick of pleasing her son, and scolded Xie Mingxi with a straight face: "Mingniang, apologize to Yuan Ting immediately!"
He opened his mouth and made her bend down and lower her head.
What a big face!
Xie Mingxi raised the corners of her mouth and gave a sarcastic smile: "What did I do wrong and why should I apologize? Don't say I didn't do anything wrong. Even if I did, it's not my aunt's turn to teach me a lesson!"
Aunt Ding: "..."
Xie Mingxi was too lazy to look at Aunt Ding's face that turned red and white, and she didn't want to waste her time arguing with Xie Yuanting. She simply turned around and returned to Bishui Pavilion.
Fortunately, I can go to Lianchi Academy tomorrow! I won’t have to face two annoying faces every day.
…
The next day, Xie Jun personally sent Xie Mingxi to Lianchi Academy.
Princess Yongning sent Xie Yunxi to Bailu Academy today and will not come back. Aunt Ding and Xie Mingxi were angry and refused to come. Xie Mingxi didn't mind either and planned to come alone to report.
Xie Jun said: "If there is no one to see you off on the first day of registration, what will you think? I will see you off!"
Xie Jun had a "loving father" face, and Xie Mingxi did not expose his hypocrisy of wanting to be in the limelight and agreed with a smile.
Lianchi Academy only admits ten students every year. On the day of registration, many parents and elders of the family are present. Even men can enter openly.
Xie Jun still had some bruises on his face, so when he showed up, he attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, Xie Jun was old and thick-skinned, so he just disappeared and personally helped Xie Mingxi get out of the carriage.
Xie Mingxi was stunned.
Now that she is in the limelight, it is not unusual for Xie Jun to treat her very well.
The spacious front door was wide open, and Chief Gu Shan led several wives to personally welcome the new students at the door. The Li family came first and were chatting warmly with Chief Gu.
Xie Jun did not rush forward to get close to her. He stood still and whispered: "Ming Niang, the Li family is strong. Since you and Miss Li are classmates in the future, it will be easy to get close to each other."
Xie Mingxi smiled inexplicably and replied pointedly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely be 'close' to Sister Li!"
Xie Jun didn't hear anything wrong. He only felt that his daughter was well-behaved and obedient. Thinking of Aunt Ding who was wiping away her tears and complaining, he couldn't help but sigh: "Don't take it to heart that Aunt Ding is confused. After all, she is your own mother. What a shame."
Be patient and tolerant.”
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "The princess is my mother!"
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun was choked for a while.
As far as etiquette is concerned, Princess Yongning is Xie Mingxi's mother! As a concubine, Aunt Ding is not qualified to discipline Xie Mingxi... But, saying so, it seems cold and cold.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xie Jun and said: "I am also following the example of my elder brother."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun shut his mouth completely.
Children are debts. Xie Yuanting is not easy to worry about. Xie Mingxi is stubborn and is not easy to persuade.
After Li Xiangru entered the academy, Mrs. Li kept chatting with Mr. Gu Shangru, saying something like, "My Xiangru is still young and has many pamperings at home. I cannot bear the grievance and ask my masters to take care of me."
Chief Gu Shanzhang responded calmly: "The academy has its own rules. I can't bear the slightest grievance. I just take him home and there is no need to come to study again."
