Chapter 45: The Princess's Division
After a half-hour coffee break, the competition moved on to the final event, which was the interview. The interviewer was still Viscount Sakuramai, who held a stack of densely written materials and stood beside the queen to ask questions.
The first interviewee, Layton, sat across from the queen. Sakura asked, "You used to be the tutor of Shu Shu, the daughter of Shu Mitt, the Earl of Prosperous County, and not long after you left, Shu Shu committed suicide." Does this matter concern you? β
As soon as he heard this question, Leiden's whole person suddenly became cramped and uneasy, and even his breathing became short. He saw the stack of materials in Sakura's hand, and knew that it would be useless to defend himself, so he simply stood up and stretched out his hands: "I'm guilty." β
Leiden was immediately escorted down by the palace guards.
The other candidates shuddered. No one expected the interview to be in this format, who doesn't have a black history?
Slowly, however, they relented β this never happened again, and it seemed that the royal family did not care much about things that did not violate the law and doctrine.
One of the most frequently asked questions is: As the princess's teacher, how would you handle your relationship with the princess?
The answer given by the candidates is the same: the princess is the future queen of the kingdom, and they will definitely respect the princess and teach her all what she has learned all her life, so that she can wander in the ocean of knowledge.
When it was Mei Yi's turn, Mei Yi just wanted to say how she would deal with her relationship with the princess, but Sakura Mai asked, "When you introduced yourself, why didn't you say that you were the author of "Flower Spirit Story Anthology"?" β
Mei Yi said honestly: "I told the story, but I didn't write the book, it was a girl named Alyssa. Her writing is as clear as water, and I don't think I have that kind of penmanship, and I don't dare to be greedy. β
The other contestants were shocked, and they couldn't imagine that the "Forty-Nine Nights" series of stage plays, which had recently swept the entire kingdom and been popular among countless people, was actually created by this human in front of them.
Sakura Mai's face suddenly turned cold, and she said coldly: "Then you just admit that you created those stories, right?" In that collection of stories, most of the kings are stupid, most of the fathers are indistinguishable from wrong, and the monarchy and patriarchy are the foundation of the order of our kingdom, what are your intentions? β
The whole garden fell silent. Serena, who was still elated, was stunned all of a sudden.
And that's just the beginning.
Sakura said, "Recently, the kingdom has excavated several ruins in the north, and some of the content in your book "The Beauty of Mathematics" appears in these ruins, such as probability theory and conic ellipse analysis. How do you explain that? I have reason to suspect that you have taken the relics treasure that Lord Esther has unearthed from the ruins! β
Serena felt like she was suffocating.
She didn't believe that Mei Yi would do such a thing, but it was completely unreasonable for a human teenager who was only sixteen years old and had no opportunity to receive any education to understand such a broad and profound thing!
Mei Yi said helplessly: "Here we go again." He looked at Serena, "Now you know why I'm reluctant to participate in these competitions, right?" I knew it was going to turn out like this. β
"Shut up, no small talk!" Sakura shouted loudly. Two guards armed with long swords and wearing heavy armor immediately walked out, waiting for an order to capture Mei Yi.
Serena was about to break down, and this wasn't the first time she had put Mei Yi in danger. She looked at the Duchess with pleading eyes, but the Duchess deliberately did not look at her, and did not say a word.
The queen grimaced even more coldly.
Mei Yi knew that if she remained silent today, she might not be able to get out of this palace alive. He took a deep breath and said, "Well, I'm defeated. I'll admit it, I deliberately belittle patriarchy and monarchy, and have bad intentions. "The Beauty of Mathematics" was also copied by me, and the content is indeed from the relics and treasures excavated by Sister Esther. β
Sakura's face turned cold, and she was about to give the order to arrest someone, but Serena knelt down in front of the Duchess with a plop, and wept: "Madam, don't listen to his nonsense!" I also think it's incredible that Mei Yi knows so much at such a young age, but I know his character, he is very proud in his heart, and he doesn't bother to do these things at all......"
Before Serena could finish speaking, Mei Yi said, "You don't know anything about me!" On that day, I met Esther, Shiye, and Sister Lingqi near the Tianlu Mountains, as well as a black dragon who guarded the ruins. I defeated the three sorcerers of Esther, Four Leaves, and Lingqi with my bare hands, and grabbed the black dragon again, drowned it in the swamp, and took away the secret treasure of the ruins. β
Everyone was stunned. The elves of this time and space are generally relatively simple, and I have never heard of such outstanding.
Mei Yi continued: "As you think, I'm actually a fool with no education. After I got the Secret Treasure of the Ruins, I learned all the words in two months, understood all the mathematical knowledge recorded on the Secret Treasure, memorized all the things inside, and wrote them all down silently in the Flower Spirit Academy. β
The Duchess couldn't help but smile slightly.
Mei Yi also said: "I deliberately belittle the patriarchy and the monarchy in the story, I really deserve death!" I ask the queen to immediately execute the canonical punishment and proclaim to the world that the royal and patriarchal rights are sacrosanct! β
Serena yelled, "Meiyi, you're crazy! β
The Duchess couldn't help but change her color: what the hell is this kid doing?
Mei Yi ignored her, but continued: "The queen must not tolerate those who participate in the performance and distribution of operas knowing that the stories I tell slander the monarchy and patriarchy, and those nobles, merchants, and even commoners who frantically pursue these operas. β
Everyone present took a breath of cool air.
The Duchess's face stretched again, and she thought to herself: If you really want to do this, the people in the big cities such as True Spirit City, Flower Spirit City, Ice Valley City, and Flower City will almost be captured, and even this castle will probably become an empty city.
In the end, Mei Yi said: "In your opinion, this defense may not be something I can say. Well, I'll admit it, someone foresaw everything about the day and wrote me this defense in advance. β
The contestants couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. Sakura Dance was refuted for a while, and her face was red and white for a while. The guards, who were already preparing to arrest people, saw that the queen and Sakura Mai had not given instructions for a long time, so they had to retreat again.
The queen smiled and said, "Well, I see, you are very articulate." If you were the princess's teacher, how would you get along with her? β
Mei Yi hurriedly said: "Queen, I really don't want to be a teacher anymore, in the past, it was because I was naΓ―ve and thought that a teacher could just concentrate on teaching, so I wanted to be a teacher." Now that I think about it, I might as well go to a friend's restaurant and serve dishes. β
Serena knew that he was talking about Liuxi, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
When she chatted with Hua Ling and Liuxi, she learned that her mother had always liked Meiyi very much, and her father's attitude towards him had also changed 180 degrees after getting along with Meiyi for a few weeks. She planned to wait for Mei Yi to return to Hualing and take him to her hometown in the forest to play.
Everybody knows what that means.
The queen was just about to speak, but Mei Yi said again: "Queen, my charges of stealing the secret treasures of the relics and deliberately insulting military power and patriarchal authority should be cleared, right?" If so, can I leave the palace now? β
The queen said, "It is clear." You can answer me two more questions and leave, if, I mean, if you're a princess teacher, how are you going to get along with her? β
Mei Yi said without thinking: "I will treat her as my own sister, teach her the necessary knowledge, and do my best to care for her and protect her." It may sound arrogant to you, but that's what I really think. β
Serena and the others all thought the same: hehe, you said you want to treat the princess as your sister? Just wait for the coolness.
The queen looked at Mei Yi quietly and asked a second question: "How can you stay and be the princess's teacher?" No matter what you ask, as long as it is within my ability, I can agree. β
When the other candidates heard this, they consciously followed Viscount Sakuramai out of the palace. In any case, it is already a great honor to be chosen by the royal family to participate in the competition of princess governess.
