"I heard that the Queen is coming to give us a lecture today, and the lecture will be on The Analects of Confucius."
"Is it true? The Queen is really coming?"
"How can something so important be false! What Sister Li said must be true."
"Sister Li, where did you hear the news?"
Early in the morning, all the girls gathered around Li Xiangru, asking questions.
Li Xiangru enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars holding the moon very much. He paused intentionally for a moment, and smiled slowly amid the urging of everyone: "The Queen is the headmaster of Lianchi Academy, and she comes to teach for three days every month. Lianchi Academy
All the students here can be called the empress’s disciples.”
"There are five schools in our academy. The other schools have classes for half a day every month. Only Haitang School has classes for a full day. This is the case every year. I think this year will be no exception."
"This is what my grandfather told me."
The grandfather Li Xiangru mentioned was Mr. Li Ge, the second assistant to the dynasty.
Xiao Yuhan and others were filled with joy, and they all laughed and said, "This is great. We can meet the Queen today."
The ladies from well-known families struggled to get into Lianchi Academy, partly because it was the best women's academy in Daqi. The other half was because of Empress Yu.
On the second day of school, I was able to interact with Empress Yu and listen to her lectures. I feel excited just thinking about it!
…
Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei stepped in.
Lin Wei whispered: "Why are they so excited?"
Early this morning, Lin Weiwei deliberately took a detour to the door of Xie's Mansion. Xie Mingxi was disrespectful to such hospitality and simply took the Lin Mansion's carriage and came with Lin Weiwei.
Yin Xiaoxiao glanced at the two of them with sharp eyes, and immediately smiled and waved: "You two, come here quickly. I heard from Sister Li that the Queen is coming to teach us in person today!"
Lin Weiwei's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but moved closer: "Is what you said true?"
Xie Mingxi's right hand was held by Lin Weiwei, and they moved together "involuntarily".
Li Xiangru felt awkward when she saw Xie Mingxi.
However, since we are classmates, we must face each other every day. Even if we dislike each other, we cannot say bad words in public. Li Xiangru cleared his throat and repeated what he just said.
Lin Weiwei's eyes sparkled.
Xie Mingxi smiled and said nothing.
Now that he has entered Lianchi Academy, it is only a matter of time before he comes into contact with Empress Yu.
In her previous life, she was a study companion and was not qualified to enter the school. She only met Queen Yu from a distance a few times. After that, she entered the fourth prince's mansion as a concubine and was not qualified to see Queen Yu.
In the eighteenth year of Jianwen's reign, Empress Yu suddenly "died" of illness. Emperor Jianwen, who had been busy with government affairs and indulged in women's sex, also fell seriously ill and ultimately failed to survive, passing away six months later.
Empress Yu's death was too sudden, which aroused everyone's speculation. However, the rumors were suppressed by the fourth prince who ascended the throne with fierce iron-blooded methods.
In the palace, more than ten palace attendants were beaten to death with sticks, and everyone remained silent. No one dared to mention the word Queen Yu again.
The court officials also kept silent about this.
Once the emperor, there are ministers. After the fourth prince sat on the throne, the old ministers gradually declined, and young officials who were the new emperor's confidants came to the fore one after another. In just a few years, the fourth prince firmly sat on the throne.
…
The girls chatted among themselves.
Until the sixth princess stepped into the school building.
Everyone subconsciously stopped talking and returned to their seats.
The Sixth Princess didn't seem to realize that she had swept away everyone's interest in gossiping. She slowly sat down in her seat and looked at the Analects of Confucius on the table with an expressionless face.
Xie Mingxi was secretly amused and opened her mouth to remind: "The content of the Queen's lecture today is The Analects of Confucius. Your Majesty has not come yet, so Her Royal Highness may wish to take a look first."
The sixth princess lost her energy from yesterday's arithmetic class and snorted with a dull look on her face.
Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing and curled up her mouth.
When Dong Hanlin was in class yesterday, the Sixth Princess listened for a while and then fell asleep and took a nap. Obviously she was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics. However, the content of Queen Yu's lectures was mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics...
I could sleep in Dong Hanlin's class, but I couldn't sleep in Queen Yu's class. She might even get "attention". No wonder the Sixth Princess was so upset.
"Don't worry," Xie Mingxi comforted softly: "The Analects of Confucius is not difficult, but you have to remember the source and origin of each sentence clearly, otherwise, there will be deviations in understanding."
Isn't this difficult?
How can a top student understand the pain of being a scientific bastard?
The sixth princess silently glanced at Xie Mingxi, who looked relaxed and composed, and suddenly felt a little bit of Li Xiangru's pain yesterday.
Xie Mingxi was very considerate, moved the stool over, sat next to the Sixth Princess, and whispered: "I will review with Her Highness the Princess. If there is something we don't understand, we can give each other pointers."
The phrase "pointing out to each other" is very euphemistic.
The sixth princess understood the meaning of "guidance" in the words, her eyes lit up slightly, and she left and turned to the first page.
Learning and writing.
The sixth princess's slender fingers tapped lightly.
Confucius said: "In a country with thousands of chariots, it strives for success but is trustworthy. It uses prudently but loves others so that the people can take advantage of the times."
Xie Mingxi explained in a low voice: "To govern the country, we must not only save financial expenditures, but also make light use of people's power and recruit labor at the right time so as not to violate the farming season."
…
"He's starting to flatter you again!" Sheng Jinyue snorted disdainfully, using vitriol to cover up the jealousy in her heart.
Princess Changping lives in the Princess Mansion, and only the young Sixth Princess lives in the palace.
It's a pity that the sixth princess is withdrawn and rarely talks in front of others. She rarely appears in front of others. When she does show up, she ignores people. She kissed her hot face several times, but all of them were cold buttocks, so she was unable to get close to this indifferent sixth princess.
Unexpectedly, in just one day, the Sixth Princess would become so close to Xie Mingxi.
Li Xiangru's heart was also filled with soreness, but there was nothing she could do about it. No one could care about who the Sixth Princess liked and got close to. Xie Mingxi was the first to take the lead, and she followed her step by step.
"By the way, have you completed all the homework assigned by Mrs. Dong yesterday?" Yin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Of course it's all done.
Except for the sixth princess.
The Sixth Princess continued to read "The Analects" with an expressionless face.
It is the responsibility of the dormitory leader to collect everyone's after-school homework. Xie Mingxi did not stand up, but smiled at Li Xiangru from afar: "I am accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess to review the books. Please collect all the homework and give it to Mr. Dong!"
Li Xiangru: "..."
The deputy dormitory director of relationships is just an errand boy. No wonder Xie Mingxi was so generous yesterday and recommended her to be the deputy dormitory director. It was clearly with the intention of sending her a job!
Li Xiangru glared at Xie Mingxi.
Don't go too far!
Xie Mingxi responded with an innocent chuckle.
If you really don't want to go, then don't go.
Looking at each other for a moment, Li Xiangru snorted angrily and stood up to put away his homework.
Xie Mingxi turned back leisurely and continued reading.
