Chapter 14: The Unexpected

As soon as these words came out, the whole courtyard seemed to explode. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

No one expected that Meng Xia would really answer the forty-five questions that he had written correctly in such a short period of time.

What I didn't expect was that the evaluation criteria for the upper study room were so strict.

Even a seemingly inconspicuous requirement that does not affect it has become the place to determine whether it is qualified or not.

Is it strict or with ulterior motives?

In short, it's really hard to say whether the first assessment is qualified or not.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang are too stereotypical."

Ning Guifei took the lead in saying to Emperor Meng Zhao: "The way of answering the questionnaire does not emphasize that all fifty questions must be written to do it, the ninth princess is not easy, otherwise there is not enough time at all, how can this become a violation of the rules and disrespect the requirements?" ā€

"Sister Ning is not right to say this, my sister thinks that what Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang said is extremely reasonable, if everyone only talks about the result and ignores the rules of the process, where is there order in this world?"

Liu Guifei retorted at the moment: "Liu Taifu and Wang Taifu are strict requirements, and they don't easily change their principles because of the so-called real difficulties and this and that reason, this is the most valuable character of a courtier." Only such a rigorous and principled master can teach a true master! ā€

"Your Majesty, what do you say?" In a few words, Liu Guifei quickly looked at Emperor Meng Zhao and asked in a coquettish voice.

Seeing this, Emperor Meng Zhao raised his hand, and he didn't know whose side he was on: "What the two concubines said is reasonable, but it makes me feel a little embarrassed." ā€

"Father, why don't you listen to the thoughts of the Nine Emperor Sisters?" At this moment, Meng Lang, who had not squeaked all along, reminded him at the right time.

The fifth princess Meng Jin on the side secretly sneered, and said in a small voice, as if she was talking to herself: "The Nine Emperor Sisters naturally think that she should be qualified, what else is there to ask?" Her father has made an exception and given her an unprecedented opportunity, so can she break it again and again? ā€

Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help but be silent.

The princess enters the study, this is a kind of thing that breaks the inherent rules and order, some people oppose it, some people are dissatisfied, and some people try to stop it, which is normal.

He raised his eyes to look at Meng Xia, but was surprised to find that at this time, this princess was still standing there unfazed, but more like a bystander than anyone else.

"Axia, Father sees that you haven't spoken much, what are you thinking?"

He subconsciously asked, ignoring the words of others, but rarely observed the daughter in front of him.

"Back to his father, Ah Xia feels that although what Taifu Liu and Wang Taifu said is too harsh, it can be regarded as having a legitimate foothold, and Ah Xia can accept it with their ideas."

Meng Xia's expression was sincere and without the slightest disappointment and frustration, as if he was talking about things on a case-by-case basis, without subjectivity.

This surprised everyone, but they didn't expect Meng Xia to admit in public that the words of the two Taifu who denied her were reasonable, and made it clear that they were acceptable, which was too beyond everyone's imagination.

Even Emperor Meng Zhao was surprised, and immediately asked: "If this game is finally assessed as unqualified, are you really convinced?" ā€

Hearing this, Meng Xiadi couldn't help but laugh, that smile was confident and clean.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, although Axia can accept different opinions, it does not mean that the negative reasons they put forward are really valid."

What does that mean? Why did my father get more and more confused the more he listened? Emperor Meng Zhao was really a little dizzy by Meng Xia.

Not only him, but everyone present here was afraid that they couldn't understand what Meng Xia wanted to express at all.

Seeing this, Meng Xia smiled again, but he didn't deliberately delay, and explained in public: "Please ask my father and several princes to carefully look at Ah Xia's exam papers, the five empty questions Ah Xia actually have unified answers, just on the back of the final test paper." ā€

Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao immediately asked people to check the test papers.

Sure enough, they soon found two lines of tiny letters on the back of the test paper, on which were written: Due to the limited time, this is the common answer to questions 5, 10, 18, 23 and 24. The answer has been made to show that it is important, and there is no hindrance to right or wrong!

"W-what's the answer?" Mrs. Liu, who didn't want to pass Meng Xia before, questioned with a dark face: "The Ninth Princess is clearly playing tricks!" It's outrageous! ā€

"Mrs. Liu's words are not reasonable, whether the question is completed or not has nothing to do with the content of the answer. Previously, you thought that the reason why Ah Xia could not be regarded as qualified was nothing more than that I did not answer the questions as required, and there were omissions. ā€

Meng Xia retorted unhurriedly: "But now, I have answered all the questions, and the correct number has reached the passing standard, and at the same time, there is no more than one pillar of incense. If it is such an obvious fact that Mrs. Liu still thinks that I am not qualified, dare to ask Mrs. Liu what is qualified? ā€

This call really made Mrs. Liu speechless, he never thought that this ninth princess would be so cunning, and he would be caught off guard by such a play in the end.

"The ninth princess misunderstood, Weichen didn't mean anything else."

After a while, although Taifu Liu was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, in front of the emperor, he could only change his words: "Since it has been ascertained, Weichen agrees that the first round of the Ninth Princess can be judged to be qualified." ā€

"Weichen also agrees that the ninth princess passed the first round of assessment."

Seeing this, another prince changed his words without hesitation in public.

However, he also said: "The Ninth Princess is really impressive, I didn't expect that even such an important assessment would have the leisure to tease us masters." ā€

"Thank you to a few Taifu for re-examining, but Wang Taifu misunderstood, Ah Xia has never had the heart to play tricks on Taifu, and he doesn't have the ability to predict in advance."

Meng Xia didn't care about Wang Taifu's words, and smiled and defended: "The reason why those two lines of small characters are written on the back was originally because I was worried that such an explanation would show that some paintings should not be used, and I was afraid that people would laugh at them." I didn't expect that in the end, it was a crooked beating that really worked, which made the masters laugh! ā€

Seeing this, Wang Taifu couldn't help coughing twice, his expression was obviously a little embarrassed, and he didn't say anything more.

"Since there is no objection to the judgment now, then now the Ninth Princess will directly start the second round of assessment!"

Emperor Meng Zhao didn't say much, but he was in a very good mood, so he waved his hand and signaled to continue.

He wanted to see how far he, the Ninth Princess, could go down and what kind of surprises he would bring!

In this way, the assessment continued, and Meng Xia sat down at the examination table again, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Meng Lang's encouraging and appreciative gaze.

Blinking slightly, she returned with a reassuring smile and started the second round of assessment calmly and confidently.

At this moment, the complexion of Liu Guifei's mother and daughter is no longer as good-looking as before.

It wasn't until Mrs. Liu, who had a different opinion, announced the content of the second round of assessment in public that the mother and daughter let out a turbid breath and looked at Meng Xia again and sneered secretly.
