Gu Shanchang stepped in first and glanced with bright eyes: "The Queen is coming, please stand up and greet her."
Xie Mingxi took the lead in responding, stood up first, and said loudly: "Everyone, stand up."
As a dormitory leader, you should have no less limelight.
Li Xiangru, who was feeling sulky, resisted the urge to turn around and glare at Xie Mingxi, and stood up together with everyone else. Sheng Jinyue beside her snorted softly, lowered her voice and said: "Look at her lively look! It's really impressive.
Disgusted!"
Yeah! So annoying!
Li Xiangru tightened the corners of her mouth.
The more annoying thing is yet to come.
Chief Gu Shan said to Xie Mingxi in a pleasant manner: "Xie Mingxi, you are the number one freshman this year. The Queen is very impressed by you. She will definitely ask you to answer questions in today's class. You must be mentally prepared."
All the students in Lianchi Academy are the Queen's disciples. However, there are only a few people who can really win the favor of Queen Yu.
Only by falling into the eyes of Queen Yu can one climb the big tree of Queen Yu in the future.
Chief Gu Shanzhang specifically warned him, showing his intention to give some advice.
Xie Mingxi understood the lesson and showed gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Chief, for reminding me. The students must listen carefully to the class and answer the questions. I hope to win the favor of the empress."
Gu Shan smiled and nodded slightly.
Li Xiangru was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
The other girls were more or less envious.
However, there is no point in being envious. Xie Mingxi’s first place is real and she got it based on her own talent and learning. The master and the mountain chief prefer the first place, what’s wrong with that?
Not convinced?
I can only hold it in.
The sixth princess turned her head slightly, looked at the beautiful girl beside her with a smile on her lips, and curved her mouth.
There were footsteps at the door.
Queen Yu is here!
…
All the girls cheered up, but no one dared to look at her arbitrarily. Even the arrogant and bold Sheng Jinyue lowered her head at this time.
Xie Mingxi also lowered his head slightly. When he lowered his head, he happened to look at each other with the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess gave her a comforting look, signaling with her eyes that she didn't need to be frightened.
Xie Mingxi felt a sense of warmth in her heart and responded with a calm smile.
Although she did not have much interaction with Empress Yu, she was very clear about Empress Yu's temperament. Although Empress Yu was a woman, she was as talented and ambitious as any man, or even more so.
This can be seen from the establishment of Lotus Pond Academy.
The graceful and generous Empress Yu, in order to pass on her career and resolve doubts, went to Lianchi Academy to teach students in person. How could a woman with such a big heart be a carefree person?
Chief Gu Shan's voice sounded: "All students salute the Queen."
All the girls raised their hands and saluted: "Student, I have met the Queen."
A gentle yet majestic woman's voice sounded: "All students are exempted from the ceremony."
Everyone thanked him together and stood up.
Sheng Jinyue and the other two people standing in the first row were the first to face Queen Yu, and it was impossible not to feel nervous. Sheng Jinyue had seen Queen Yu several times and quickly calmed down.
Li Xiangru's heart beat several times faster, but fortunately his face was calm and did not show any signs of it.
Fang Ruomeng was obviously the most nervous one. He didn't even have the courage to raise his head. His face was flushed and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
…
Queen Yu glanced at her, smiled, and said in a particularly gentle tone: "From today on, I am also your wife. You can call me Mrs. Yu."
"Don't be nervous or afraid when facing your master. Like other masters, I don't have three heads and six arms, nor do I have an extra eye."
"You all raise your heads and let me take a look."
A voice as warm as the spring breeze blew through everyone's ears.
Fang Ruomeng's tightly clenched heart slowly fell back to its original position. When she raised her head, she quickly glanced at Queen Yu. She was amazed in her heart.
Of course, Empress Yu is a rare beauty. Even though she is approaching her old age, she is far better than ordinary ladies. Her outstanding elegance makes her even more desirable.
The first time they met, Queen Yu had already captured the admiration of many girls.
Chief Gu Shan had long been accustomed to such situations, and said with a smile: "Master Yu will teach today. The Analects will be explained in the morning, and the afternoon course is to be determined."
Empress Yu was extremely talented at a young age and had a wealth of poems and books. She was good at all kinds of poetry, calligraphy and painting. The content of her classes was not fixed, and she could pick them up as she pleased.
Xie Mingxi looked at the smiling Empress Yu silently, feeling sympathy in her heart.
Who says women are inferior to men?
There are many women with outstanding talents in this world. Empress Yu is undoubtedly the best among them.
Living in the middle palace, enjoying all the glory, but not forgetting his original intention, he spared no effort to establish a women's academy. Thousands of girls in Daqi are all beneficiaries. They are no longer confined to the inner house and can read and write.
Lianchi Academy is like a seed planted, which has grown into a tree in more than ten years.
It's a pity that Queen Yu died too early in her previous life...
The sadness in Xie Mingxi's heart flashed past, and was quickly suppressed.
…
Gu Shanchang retreated.
In the school, Queen Yu stood calmly with her hands behind her hands and said slowly: "It only takes two years to read the Four Books and Five Classics roughly, and five years to master them. Even if you spend your whole life, you may not be able to claim to be proficient."
"It is common for men to study hard because of the imperial examination. In order to gain fame and a bright future, it is common for men to study for more than ten years. Even for those who study until they are old, it is common for them to do so."
"Then why do women study?"
Queen Yu paused and glanced briefly.
The hearts of all the girls were tense, they were afraid of being hit, but also a little ready to make a move.
Sheng Jinyue usually likes to be in the limelight, but now she couldn't hold back, so she was the first to raise her hand.
Queen Yu glanced over: "Sheng Jinyue, what do you think?"
Sheng Jinyue stood up and said loudly: "Women study to understand reason."
Queen Yu nodded slightly.
Sheng Jinyue was immediately elated and sat down happily.
Not to be outdone, Li Xiangru raised her hand and spoke: "Students believe that women who study more can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons."
Queen Yu smiled approvingly.
Two people took the lead, and the others also spoke enthusiastically.
"Studying in the academy allows us to leave the back house and have the opportunity to go out from time to time." Yan Zhenzhen said boldly, her eyes shining.
Queen Yu smiled noncommittally.
Yin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "When we enter the academy, we have a master and like-minded classmates, which is more than blood relatives."
Even Fang Ruomeng, the timidest one, mustered up the courage to speak: "Because I have a talent for reading, my grandfather and father look at me differently."
After saying that, I felt a little anxious and regretful.
If she said this, would Queen Yu think she was too utilitarian?
Queen Yu seemed to notice Fang Ruomeng's anxiety and said calmly: "Just tell me what you think."
Fang Ruomeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the three students in the last row had not opened their mouths.
