It really is like a dream returning to my senior year of high school, my family.
After being idle for so long, Lu Wan felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden striving for a better life.
But I was so cool that I was determined to win the bet even if I cried.
Lu Wan put in the same effort as to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, and devoted himself to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, which were quite daunting.
The candles in the room were still burning. Taozhi woke up several times at night and saw Lu Wan holding a book in one hand and supporting his head with the other.
He was obviously very sleepy, his head kept nodding, but he just refused to go to sleep.
Taozhi felt distressed and advised her several times, "Miss, there is still a month left. You should rest first. If you tire yourself out, it will be more trouble than gain."
Lu Wan opened his drowsy eyes, stretched himself, and responded weakly.
It was not until then that she deeply understood the difference between the protagonist and cannon fodder.
Although Shen Yan is a military commander, he is intelligent and gifted. Shen Yan could remember these books after reading them once. After reading it twice, I can even recite it backwards.
But she can't.
She could only recite it by rote over and over again.
Most of the night had passed, and I had only memorized five articles.
After Lu Wan washed up, he lay on the bed and sighed sadly.
But the next morning, she was full of energy and set out for Luting Academy with full passion.
As soon as he arrived at the academy, as expected, Lu Wan received a wave of stares from people with various expressions.
She remained calm and sat down in her seat.
Yao Lan, who usually arrives early, was late today and entered the classroom just on time.
Seeing her sweating and panting, Lu Wan was a little curious: "Cousin, what happened to you today? Did the carriage break down?"
Yao Lan rolled her eyes at her and whispered, "It was because of your heroic act yesterday that I ran into Chen Ji and his friends on the way here. They kept pestering me with questions."
Chen Ji is a well-known playboy in Beijing circle.
Lu Wan said: "They are so boring, they even worry about the quarrels between girls."
Hearing this, Yao Lan's face said "You are still too young", "Sister, after a night of fermentation, this matter is no longer as simple as a quarrel between girls."
"You should have heard that Prince Lu and Xue Songjin also made a bet for this reason, right?"
Lu Wan nodded uncomfortably.
Yao Lan said: "The two of them, one is the major general of the Qingyun Army, and the other is the son of the Zhenyuan Marquis. To put it mildly, it is just a fight between two people of the same age. To put it seriously, it involves the reputation of the two major military factions."
Lu Wan was so scared that the tip of his pen trembled, leaving a long ink mark on the white paper: "Not that bad, right?"
No way, no way, she just wanted to slap Xue Yuanyuan in the face, how did it turn into an undercurrent of court struggle.
Yao Lan lowered her voice mysteriously and continued, "There are already gambling houses using this to set up gambling games."
"You know Fufeng Tower, right? It's the most famous den of brothel in the capital. Sister, your odds are very high."
Lu Wan: “…”
Yao Lan's fiancé is the commander of the imperial guards and knows a lot of inside information that others don't know.
She then dropped another bomb: "It's quite strange that the Third Prince, who has been keeping a low profile recently, actually has the time to get involved in this matter. He is Xue Yuanyuan's cousin, but I heard that he paid a large sum of money to buy you to win, and not more, not less, just one or two taels of silver more than what General Shen paid."
Wei Mingtang.
There is no doubt that he just wants to make things difficult for Shen Yan.
"After the Third Prince made the bet, several other princes in the capital followed suit and invested some money, big and small."
Yao Lan's expression became much more serious.
Lu Wan tilted his head to look at her, and unexpectedly read a hint of mystery from the expression of this cute round-faced girl.
Finally, she concluded with a light sentence: "Sister, do you think they are betting on the outcome of you and Xue Yuanyuan, or the outcome of the Qingyun Army and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Lu Wan was stunned.
She still couldn't get used to it. Her cousin's style suddenly changed from silly to serious political scheming.
Yao Lan glanced at her and said in surprise, "Sister, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes? Did you cheat on Master Lu last night?"
As she said this, her eyes once again flashed with the familiar light of desire for melon.
Lu Wan: “…”
Could you please not change your painting style so quickly?
"I'm working hard for the bet," Lu Wan said, "No matter what the bet was about before, and what meaning it has now, I will not lose to Xue Yuanyuan."
Lu Wan felt that her expression, eyes and firm tone must have been very handsome when she said this.
But Yao Lan just nodded without much interest: "Oh."
...It's too perfunctory!
Lu Wan almost felt that Yao Lan's previous words involving the two major military factions were all hallucinations.
Yao Runtu only cared about whether there were badger in the melon field under the moonlight. How could he pay attention to the power struggle going on secretly nearby?
Lu Wan listened very carefully in the following classes.
Seeing her like this, Xue Yuanyuan also felt like she was facing a formidable enemy and followed her to listen to the class attentively.
If Lu Wan really wins, then Princess Qiong'an will lose all her face!
The noble lady next to them felt a strong sense of oppression when she saw the two men working so hard that they seemed to be working hard, and each of them was more serious than the other.
The small classroom rolled up unknowingly.
Lu Wan, who was bound to become the king of this internal competition, leaned his head and sighed: "People will eventually become the people they hate."
Yao Lan slapped her on the forehead and said, "Stop pretending to be so deep. Look who's looking for you."
Lu Wan looked towards the classroom door as she was told—there was a stern maid.
