No one expected Yao Xi to say such words.
Only Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi seemed to have known about her friendship for a long time, and there was no surprise on their faces.
But You Yue's eyes widened and she couldn't believe her ears, and even exclaimed a little uncontrollably: "No way, sister Yao Xi suddenly likes Zhang Zhe?!"
When she came to the palace last time, everyone could still remember Yao Xi's attitude towards her marriage with Zhang Zhe.
Why did Yao Xi's attitude change when she divorced her?
Everyone felt a little surprised.
Ever since the letter was sent out in the morning, Yao Xi had never felt so anxious. She was a little worried about Zhang Zhe's reaction, but at the same time she had a kind of anticipation that could not be ignored.
Expect Zhang Zhe to be pleasantly surprised by her choice.
After all, there are definitely not many girls in this world who are willing to marry him knowing that his future is difficult and difficult to move forward, but any normal man will be moved after receiving her reply, right?
If she heard You Yue say such a sentence a few days ago, she would definitely agree with it, but now it sounds very harsh.
She will marry Zhang Zhe in the future.
What's the matter with You Yue mocking Zhang Zhe?
Yao Xi frowned lightly, glanced at You Yue, and said in a calm voice, "There is nothing wrong with Zhang Zhe."
"..."
You Yue was suddenly at a loss for words.
No matter how stupid a person looked at Yao Xi's attitude, he knew that he might have said the wrong thing just now, so he smiled embarrassingly and said, "Yes, yes."
However, when she closed her mouth, seeing Yao Xi's expression, she couldn't help but be a bit speechless.
When Yao Xi turned her eyes and didn't see it, she couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth: I've seen people who backtracked, and I've seen people who turned their backs on what they said and didn't recognize it, but those who turned their backs and didn't recognize it so thoroughly, but still See you later. Don't you think your face hurts? Earlier, I didn't know who made Zhang Zhe's derogatory speech worthless, but he had the face to scold her for coming!
A trace of disdain flashed in You Yue's eyes.
Jiang Xuening watched coldly, taking the slightest bit of disdain into his eyes, and only calmly thought that the group of people who were in this group was not so close, and there were discords inside.
She should have laughed at this discovery.
But looking at Yao Xi's shy and timid expression when talking to everyone, it was as if there was a lead hanging on the lips, so heavy that he couldn't bend the arc of his duty.
Suddenly he hated Zhang Zhe a little bit.
I also hated myself.
Why was he so obsessed with ghosts in his previous life that he wanted to trick Zhang Zhe into being a good person?
That night, Jiang Xuening sat in the Liushui Pavilion for a long time, but she didn't hear a word of what others read, asked, and answered.
Woke up early the next day, feeling gloomy.
But I still have to go to Fengchen Hall to attend classes.
There are five subjects in total. The four gentlemen have studied the "Book of Songs" and the qin yesterday, and this morning they are going to study the "Book" subject of "Eighteen Posts" and the "Ritual" subject of "Book of Rites". Xie Wei The "text" to be taught will be put together with mathematics tomorrow morning.
Jiang Xuening and the others arrived a quarter earlier than usual.
It stands to reason that Shen Zhiyi, the Eldest Princess of Leyang, would be a little later, but she would also arrive before class. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi was nowhere to be seen until Wang Jiu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who taught calligraphy, walked in from outside the palace gate.
"Why hasn't Her Royal Highness come yet?"
"Calligraphy is also the first class, it's not good if you don't come today..."
"Is there no palace official to communicate?"
Everyone started talking in low voices.
Wang Jiu, a bachelor's attendant, is also in his forties, with a stiff black beard and a high crown belt, which is a bit elegant and refined. Seeing that it is almost time for class, look down to see the first There was no one in the middle of the row, so I asked, "Is Her Royal Highness not here? What's the matter?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wang Jiu frowned, snorted softly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has always been favored by the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager. It's normal not to wake up at such an early hour, and it's normal not to want to come. If you don't come, then don't come."
Everyone was silent, and it was obvious that Mr. Wang was not very happy, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.
Jiang Xuening was sitting in the corner, but when she heard the words, she stood up, bowed to Wang Jiu, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "This time, the eldest princess asked the sage to go to school, and if you can get the gentlemen to teach in person, your highness will also accept it." I am very happy. Yesterday, I came to the hall early like me and abided by the rules set by the gentlemen. I am not a person who cannot bear hardships. There must be a reason for being late for the morning class today. I hope that you will be a large number of gentlemen, so don’t blame me for the time being.”
The pampering and arrogance of the Eldest Princess of Leyang, Shen Zhiyi, is nothing new in the palace.
Not to mention Wang Jiu, even the companions present subconsciously thought that Shen Zhiyi's going to school this time should be very casual. Besides, she is the eldest princess, and no one dares to say that she can come and go whenever she wants.
So after listening to Wang Jiu's words, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
But Jiang Xuening came out and said this...
Although the wording was tactful and the attitude was very humble, it seemed that they were just explaining for Shen Zhiyi, but once the words were said to Wang Jiu, the meaning was a bit subtle.
Even though she didn't seem to be contradicting, the listener was always unhappy.
Wang Jiu's gaze fell on Jiang Xuening immediately, and he suddenly remembered what his colleague Zhao Yanchang, who was teaching them poetry in the Imperial Academy yesterday, said that among these little girls who were reading with him, there was one who sat in the corner and was very disobedient. It's Jiang Xuening, the second girl of the household servant Jiang Boyou's family, who looks like a prickly head.
He didn't take it to heart.
She didn't expect him to say a word before class, and she came to find fault.
Wang Jiudao: "I just casually said, you mean that I wronged the eldest princess?"
Although Jiang Xuening didn't go to class very much in her last life, she clearly knew that Princess Leyang, who was also pampered and brought up by the palace in the past, never skipped a class and wanted to learn seriously.
This Wang Jiu clearly had a prejudice against Shen Zhiyi and had preconceived ideas.
That's why she wanted to stand up and make a distinction. She thought she was very tactful and paid attention to her tone, but she didn't expect such a strong reaction from her husband, so she frowned slightly and explained, "The student didn't mean that."
Wang Jiu turned cold and said, "No such intention?"
He couldn't help but want to teach this little girl a lesson, and he just happened to use her to build up his dignity as his husband.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a young **** hurried over from outside.
"The Empress Dowager of the Palace of Mercy Ning has something to say, and I specially ordered my slave to come and tell the sir." The little **** bowed outside the palace gate, and saw that there was still some sweat on his forehead, "Something happened in the Heavenly Palace a few days ago. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager In the process of checking the House of Internal Affairs, the lords of the East, West and Sixth Palaces have been summoned. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is also there at the moment, talking with the Holy Majesty. She was supposed to come to class today, but she is in a hurry and cannot leave. Apologize to Mr., and hope Mr. Haihan."
"ah…"
Wang Jiu's face changed several times when he heard the names of the empress dowager, empress, and even the saint.
At this moment, where is the arrogance he had when facing Jiang Xuening before?
He clasped his hands into the void and bowed far away, and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager are here, since Your Highness the Eldest Princess is unable to leave for a while, it's okay to miss a class. The next official will choose another day to become the Eldest Princess Your Highness will make it up, and please pass it on to the Holy Majesty, please rest assured."
The little **** answered yes, saluted again, then hurriedly retreated away.
It seemed to be a little frightened and uneasy.
Jiang Xuening's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words "inspect the House of Internal Affairs" just now. Thinking of Yu Ruyi's case, and thinking about the expression of the little eunuch, she knew that the palace was full of blood and rain these past few days. Indispensable.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Courage...
Wang Jiu didn't notice so much.
Just as she was about to reprimand Jiang Xuening, she was sued by the Palace of Compassion and Ning, somewhat unable to get off the stage.
It's just that the more this happens, the more embarrassing it becomes.
After the **** left, Wang Jiu saw that Jiang Xuening was still standing in the corner, and he didn't show any good looks, and said, "Which school in the world is so unruly that students can refute what you say? It's the princes of all dynasties. The prince also has to perform the etiquette to Mr. Jiang. Although Mr. Jiang is a colleague of Wang, but the ugly words come first, if you dare to contradict me again in the hall, I will not care about the face between my father and my colleagues. You can sit down. "
Jiang Xuening narrowed her eyes, covering the sharp eye that almost shot out.
It didn't happen at the moment, just said: "Thank you sir."
After speaking, he sat down in a dignified manner.
With her as a lesson from the past, everyone can see that although Wang Jiu looks elegant, he is a difficult person on the inside, and he is very respectful and honest in class.
He teaches calligraphy.
So the first lesson at the beginning of the school is to look at the basics of everyone's calligraphy. When looking at other people, they still think it is good, but when they walked in front of Jiang Xuening, they frowned and said: "My little daughter's calligraphy should be beautiful and elegant, or dignified and quiet. In the future, it is better to learn Zanhua Xiaokai, no matter how bad it is for Zhao Mengfu and Wang Xizhi, learning Liuyan is not bad. Cursive script is wild and masculine, like the rivers and seas. It is more suitable for men. It is inevitable for daughters to learn cursive script. It's because you don't obey discipline. From now on, you don't need to learn this cursive script, and start from regular script stroke by stroke."
Jiang Xuening learned cursive.
The cursive in the previous life was taught by Shen Jie.
At that time, the two were newlyweds, who could not love a good color as a man? She is also good at catching people's fancy, so when she first became the Princess of Linzi, she pretended to love calligraphy and forced herself to practice regular script for a long time, but after learning all kinds of fonts and calligraphy styles, she felt that she was being rejected. Framed in a cage, no matter how you write it, you will not be able to do it.
Until one day, Shen Jie had a whim and said to her, why not try cursive script?
It has been out of control ever since.
It may be flowing, or wild and unrestrained, and the thoughts are flying wherever the pen goes. After a long time, although it is still not in the eyes of everyone, but occasionally there are a few words written that can see the spirituality.
Shen Jie was very happy at first.
But one day, after seeing a line written by her, "What does fluttering look like, the world is like a gull", I was silent for a long time, and looked at her inexplicably for a while.
That gaze made her feel a little flustered, and she didn't know where her writing went wrong, so she asked him: Is it bad writing again?
Shen Jie blinked and said: No, very good.
Jiang Xuening was ignorant at the time. Although he said it was good, it was obvious that he was not very happy, so she never learned this again.
Over time, this matter gradually faded away.
But sometimes when she sees the wanton cursive script on the calligraphy and painting that came as a tribute, she will occasionally think of that time.
It's just that Shen Jie became the emperor, so she didn't dare to ask.
Only one very accidental day, she mentioned to Xiao Dingfei that the fake young master who dared to say anything and dared to do anything was so happy that he clapped his hands and laughed, and looked at her jokingly and said: "My lady, there is a saying called ' Seeing words is like seeing people'. Even if the writing is not good, or you don’t realize it, you can still see the truth..."
