As soon as he stepped into the dormitory today, Xie Mingxi felt that the atmosphere was different.

Yin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuhan whispered in a low voice, full of excitement. Yan Zhenzhen and Qin Sixing whispered quietly. Even Sheng Jinyue, who had been silent for a long time, rarely had a smile today, talking to Li Xiangru.

Lin smiled slightly curiously and asked, "What are you talking about, why are you so lively?" ”

Yin Xiaoxiao raised her head and waved to Lin Xie Mingxi: "Come here, we are discussing the matter of the academy competition!" ”

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Lin slightly.

The academy has always been a grand event in the capital.

Officials and nobles, who doesn't have outstanding sons and daughters studying in the academy? You have to pay attention to one or two. If the children of the family are selected to participate in the college competition, they will have a bright face, and they will have to talk about it again.

According to the practice of previous years, the location of the college will be located in Shochiku Academy. For six days, the emperor and queen arrived.

For this reason, Emperor Jianwen had to take a six-day holiday, and even the civil and military officials also had a six-day holiday. For example, anyone who has children and grandchildren studying in the six academies has to go to join in the fun.

As for the noble ladies and their relatives, they will not miss such occasions to show off and show off. When the time comes, one by one they wear gold and jade, grease and powder, and they come dressed up carefully, not to mention how lively the scene is......

It's no wonder that classmates are so excited.

The academy is in September, and now it is the middle of July, and there are only about two months left to be full. The Lotus Pond Academy should prepare as soon as possible, and it will soon be time to select people.

"I heard that there is an unwritten rule in the academy that at least half of the participants must be freshmen." Yin Xiaoxiao smiled expectantly.

Xiao Yuhan immediately picked up: "In this way, there should be nine places in our schoolhouse. ”

Li Xiangru couldn't help but interject: "That's not right. The college is more than a double registration, and there may not be nine people in these nine places. ”

That's just as well.

For example, Xie Mingxi, who has a full score in every monthly exam, can't just participate in one competition!

There is also Li Xiangru, although the archery is slightly weaker, the other four doors are all outstanding. Lin Weiwei's weakness is also archery, and other courses are equally excellent.

There are also people like the sixth princess Yin Xiaoxiao, who are good at shooting two subjects, and they must also participate in these two competitions. In this way, isn't there very few places left?

The girls who were originally excited and excited, after counting their fingers, quickly became depressed again.

The academy is a big competition! Who wouldn't want to participate?

But with such a small number of places, where can they get their turn?

……

The sixth princess was the latest to come, as usual.

The sixth princess was still silent, but the gloomy and cold air between her eyebrows was much less.

This change is not achieved overnight, but slowly and little by little. It seems to be a matter of course, and no one doubts it at all.

Even Xiang Hui, who served with her every day, only sighed in front of Concubine Mei: "It's really a good idea to let Her Royal Highness the princess go to the academy to study." Her Royal Highness the Princess's temperament is much more relaxed than before. ”

Concubine Mei also nodded happily and agreed: "Yes, in the past, Anping was withdrawn and rarely spoken, and never talked to people. Now that I have entered the Lotus Pond Academy, I have made some friends. ”

After a pause, he complained in a low voice: "Anping is also a stubborn temper. How tired he is after practicing martial arts every night, he still insists on sending that Xie Mingxi back to Xie Mansion. ”

"That Xie Mingxi is too, he accepted it calmly, and he didn't know how to excuse himself."

Xiang Hui had a good impression of Xie Mingxi and said a fair word: "Miss Xie excused herself, but His Royal Highness insisted on sending it." ”

Concubine Mei: "......"

Xiang Hui saw Concubine Mei's unhappy expression, and laughed in a low voice: "Why should Niangniang care about this. Miss Xie San is unparalleled in intelligence, and she has a perfect score in every monthly exam. Lotus Pond Academy has been established for more than ten years, and there has never been a student with such talent. Her Royal Highness the princess originally didn't like the Four Books and Five Classics, and the etiquette and music were not good, but fortunately, Miss Xie San kept urging her to mention it. Now, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been able to score forty-eight points in the exam and can enter the second class. ”

That's just as well.

The sixth princess has today's diligent study and rapid progress, and Xie Mingxi has a lot of credit.

Only then did Concubine Mei show her face again: "You often praise Miss Xie San in my ear, when you have the opportunity to let her enter the palace, I will also take the opportunity to take a look." ”

I want to meet my future daughter-in-law in person!

Qin Se on the side immediately smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this." The mother wanted to see her, so she waited for the rest of the day, and asked Her Royal Highness the princess to take her into the palace. ”

Entering the palace is certainly not a trivial matter. If Concubine Mei opened her mouth by herself, she would have to go to the Jiaofang Palace to ask for instructions. In the name of the sixth princess, inviting classmates and friends into the palace is much simpler and more convenient.

Just like a few princes who studied in Songzhu Academy, they would often invite their classmates into the palace.

Since Concubine Mei had this intention, she said the matter last night when the sixth princess returned to the palace: "...... You are friendly with Miss Xie San, so you brought her into the palace and let me see her. ”

The sixth princess didn't want to respond, but after thinking about it, it was only a matter of time before Concubine Mei and Xie Mingxi met, and it didn't hurt to meet earlier, so she responded: "Okay, I'll tell her about entering the palace tomorrow." ”

……

After the sixth princess sat down, she listened quietly for a moment.

The girls discussed the quota fiercely, and Xie Mingxi listened with a smile, but did not say much. There was a flash of confidence between his eyebrows.

This confidence and calmness is really love-hate and hate-like.

The sixth princess thought of the forty-eight points last month, and then looked at Xie Mingxi, who was sixty points every time, and the melancholy of "always failing to pass the test for the future daughter-in-law" floated in her heart.

"Why didn't Her Royal Highness say a word?" Xie Mingxi turned his head at some point, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of banter flashed in his eyes: "Do you want to participate in every course?" ”

The sixth princess threw a "don't be so unkind" look.

Xie Mingxi pursed his lips and chuckled.

Sleeping and eating together every day, the sixth princess insisted on sending her home every night. Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time, although Xie Mingxi still has a sense of precaution in his heart, but it is an indisputable fact that he is becoming more and more familiar with the sixth princess.

The sixth princess lowered her voice and said, "Tomorrow Xiu Mu, how about you follow me into the palace?" Mother wants to see you! ”

As soon as Xie Mingxi heard the word "enter the palace", he frowned, and refused without thinking: "Don't go." ”

Sixth Princess: "......"

At this moment, Gu Shanchang walked in.

The sixth princess had to keep her mouth shut, secretly thinking about how to persuade Xie Mingxi.

Mr. Dong had recovered his health a month ago and came to class on time.

Gu Shanchang came to the Begonia School today, naturally there is something important.

When the girls thought of what they had just discussed, they couldn't help but be secretly excited and happy, and their eyes flashed with hope.

Gu Shanchang's eyes swept and said lightly: "There are still two months, and it is the academy competition." I have decided that all the candidates for this college competition will be selected from the Begonia Academy. ”
