Chapter 122: Tempting House Rules
"The second is that Empress Meng left many strange questions in the 'Liuqing Pavilion' of Mengxi Academy, and only the masters and students of Mengxi Academy were allowed to enter to draw questions and answer questions. The answer is consistent with the answer left by Empress Meng, no matter what her identity, status, or appearance, her descendants must marry her unconditionally! β
Wei Qingqing suddenly realized, thinking that it was no wonder that those famous and noble girls all squeezed their heads to study in Mengxi Academy - if they accidentally answered the questions correctly, they would immediately be able to fly on the branches and become phoenixes!
Even if she does not have the good fortune of becoming a queen, the women who have studied in Mengxi Academy have very different visions, knowledge, and connections from staying in the boudoir, and they are naturally more sought-after than women who have not studied in Mengxi Academy when they are married-after all, the masters of Mengxi Academy have also been screened out through layers of assessment, and the prominent statement of the academy is not in vain.
Of course, this rule of "answering the question correctly" has naturally been criticized since the day it was enacted, and there were even ministers who scolded this ridiculous and child's play rule at the court meeting.
But Taizu didn't buy it at all, and bluntly said that this country was all what his Axi wanted, and he just beat it down casually, and the next emperor was chosen by Axi, and the queens of the future generations were also chosen by Axi, of course, there is nothing wrong with it!
Children and grandchildren are not convinced?
If you are not satisfied, don't inherit Lao Tzu's country, work hard for a country, and then set up whatever rules you love in your own country, and you can set up whoever you love to be the queen, even if you want to set up a man as the queen, he has no opinion!
"In short, our Taizu and Empress Meng can be described as very willful," Princess Huaisi heard a lot of stories about Taizu and Empress Meng when she was a child, and now she tells them to Wei Qingqing, "It is said that as soon as their eldest son became an adult, Taizu immediately abdicated to make way for Xian, and without much delay for a day, he took off the crown and immediately took Empress Meng to play in the mountains and rivers." β
"Admire!" Wei Qingqing thinks that to be an emperor and an empress, you have to be as free as Taizu and Empress Meng to be chic enough!
However, Wei Qingqing is not interested in being a queen at all, only interested in those strange subjects!
She was very yearning for Mengxi Academy, and asked Princess Huaisi with an expectant face: "Mengxi Academy is so different, and the new school must be different, right?" β
Princess Huaisi replied: "There is no threshold for the enrollment of Mengxi Academy, and it does not depend on status, but anyone who has the desire to study can sign up, and they can study through the entrance examination of the academy. β
"As for how to take the exam, the exam questions are different and varied every year, sometimes the exam questions are serious and similar to other colleges, and sometimes they are unique and completely unexpected, and even the time of the exam is set at will, and it can ......be done anytime and anywhere."
Wei Qingqing was a little more sure in her heart, like her, she was not serious...... No, it's not a serious girl, and my favorite is this kind of exam question that doesn't play according to the card!
At this time, someone came to invite Wei Qingqing and Princess Huaisi to sit in the flower hall, saying that Mrs. Yu had a few words to say to the girls.
When Wei Qingqing came to the flower hall, she found that Mrs. Yu was already sitting upright, and there was a lady of her age sitting next to her.
Princess Huaisi whispered: "Sitting next to Madam Yu is Madame Xiahou, who is also the master of Mengxi Academy. β
Wei Qingqing took a note, and quietly looked at Mrs. Yu with her eyes, and found that she was slightly different from her who was obsessed with solving mysteries back then - today's Mrs. Yu has less enthusiasm for learning skills and more majesty as an elder.
Mrs. Yu's gaze slowly swept over the people present, and the coercion formed by the teacher for many years naturally dispersed, so that the girls who were originally whispering at the table were immediately silenced, and subconsciously sat upright, straightening their backs and looking at Mrs. Yu attentively.
Only then did Mrs. Yu say with satisfaction, "I held this Yaji, firstly, to make some preparations for the recruitment of new students in Mengxi Academy, and secondly, because Mr. Xiahou wants to use Yaji to accept a closed disciple. β
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiahou smiled and took over the conversation, "I already have a few candidates in mind, and I can make a decision by taking a closer look at your performance today." β
Madame Xiahou was a well-known female painter in this dynasty, and the two apprentices she accepted were also well-known after her careful teaching, and they will surely become famous in time.
Therefore, many girls who devote themselves to studying painting skills and want to achieve something on the way to painting are proud to worship her as a teacher.
Mrs. Xiahou made it clear early in the morning that she would only accept three apprentices in this life, which means that the disciples she accepted today are her closed disciples, in other words, today is the last chance for the girls.
"You don't have to be restrained, or you can recite poetry against each other, or ride horses and shoot arrows, go and play your own games!" Mrs. Yu never talked much, and after saying the important words, she let the girls disperse.
The girls in the flower hall did not disperse immediately, but gathered together in groups of three or five, guessing who was favored by Mrs. Xiahou......
A girl who was good friends with Wei Xiangxiang said with an affirmative face: "Don't guess, Mrs. Xiahou's closed disciple must be Xiangxiang!" β
"yes, who else could it be besides Xiangxiang?"
"Mrs. Xiahou secretly doesn't know how many times she has praised Xiangxiang, she must have already fallen in love with Xiangxiang, today's behavior is just a formality!"
"Xiangxiang, did Mrs. Yu tell you in private that she was going to take you as an apprentice?"
"Yes, if you had said it earlier, you would have said it, so that those of us who have not given up will die of this heart!"
A group of little girls around Wei Xiangxiang chattered non-stop, and held Wei Xiangxiang to the sky with envy.
Wei Xiangxiang was very proud in her heart, her eyes always looked at Wei Qingqing as if she was nothing, but she pretended to be nervous and shy, "Don't say that!" I'm stupid, but I'm just lucky enough to get a few words of guidance from Mr. Xiahou, how can I be qualified to be her closed disciple? β
She pretended to be in front of people, and soon replied to the others in a sincere tone and with a sincere smile, "Several sisters are all good at painting, and Mr. Xiahou's closed disciples are set among you!" β
"Xiangxiang, don't be modest! If you're naΓ―ve and stupid, we're fools! β
"Congratulations! Congratulations! The person who first complimented Wei Xiangxiang actually congratulated her, as if Wei Xiangxiang was not about to become Mrs. Xiahou's closed disciple, but had become Mrs. Xiahou's closed disciple.
She started together, and the others followed suit, and they also congratulated Wei Xiangxiang in advance.
Wei Xiangxiang was praised a little flutteringly, and the decline caused by plagiarism completely dissipated earlier, making her feel proud again...... As for who is most appreciated by Mrs. Xiahou, she is naturally the only one.
