Almost at the same time, the reputation of the Imperial College gradually became famous.
Whether officials or ordinary people, everyone wants to send their children to study in the college.
In view of the outstanding contributions of Sang Luan and Meng Youning to the Imperial College, the emperor specially issued an edict that these two people also have the right to recommend students in the Imperial College.
Moreover, those recommended by them can ignore the original admission requirements and directly enter the Imperial College.
However, each of them only has one spot.
This privilege not only shocked the civil and military officials in the court, but even Sang Luan and Meng Youning themselves were a little surprised.
As Meng Youning could not leave the Prince's Mansion in the near future, she could only let Muxiang maintain contact with Sang Luan.
Meng Youning's health is gradually improving under the treatment of medicinal food.
This day.
Inside the Yunyan Pavilion.
After Muxiang entered the Prince's Mansion, she carefully returned to Yunyan Pavilion.
She closed the door gently.
Meng Youning, who was lying on the bed, quickly sat up straight, supported herself on the edge of the bed with one hand, and stood up. "How is it?"
After confirming that the doors were closed and there was no one else around, Muxiang confidently took out the letter paper she had prepared long ago from her sleeve.
She took the letter in her hand and placed it respectfully on the table.
With his hands folded in front of him and his brows slightly lowered, he said softly, "This is the reply from that person."
Meng Youning nodded slightly and raised her hand slightly. Muxiang stepped forward, supported Meng Youning's wrist, and helped her sit down.
Meng Youning picked up the letter on the table and opened it in one go.
He quickly scanned the contents of the letter, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. "She really did it. I knew she could do it."
Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, Princess, you didn't see it. Now that the autumn season is coming, people are coming and going every day, and it's very lively."
Meng Youning was in a good mood, her mouth slightly opened, "Not bad."
Immediately, Meng Youning gave Muxiang a look and she hurried forward, blocking the candlelight with most of her body.
Meng Youning drooped her eyelids slightly and folded the letter paper in her hand into a thin piece.
Then, he placed it on the candle flame, and in the blink of an eye, the paper burned to ashes.
Muxiang silently took out a pure white handkerchief and swept the ashes on it one by one.
After putting the things away, Muxiang looked up at Meng Youning in front of her.
At this time, Meng Youning's complexion looked much better than before, and her lips gradually turned red.
Muxiang pursed her lips, her eyes full of complexity.
He clearly seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Just tell me what you have to say."
Meng Youning slowly picked up the teacup, tilted her head back and took a sip. She glanced at Mu Xiang beside her and could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the person next to her.
Muxiang rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth.
Mustering up her courage, she blurted out her recent thoughts, "Princess, I only hope to be able to stay by your side and serve you. Wherever you go, I will follow you."
Meng Youning glanced at her calmly. This girl must have heard something.
She waved her hand, "I know your loyalty."
Seeing that the other party obviously didn't want to delve into the matter any further, Muxiang could only stammer.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
Meng Youning's eyes flickered slightly. Recently, Qi Ran always liked to come to her.
The other person looked at her with more and more tenderness.
"Youning, look, this is the pastry I queued up specially to buy for you today." Qi Ran said loudly as he walked in excitedly.
Meng Youning looked up and saw Qi Ran holding a wooden box in his hand.
She sniffed lightly and suddenly smelled a fragrance.
It smells really good.
Qi Ran walked quickly forward, placed the food box steadily on the table, opened it, and carefully took out the contents.
He pushed closer to Meng Youning and blinked at her. "Try this. It's not sticky at all. I specifically told them to make it lighter in flavor. I think it will suit your taste."
As he spoke, he tilted his head and stared at Meng Youning without blinking.
Meng Youning lowered her eyes, and her gaze naturally fell on the jade plate.
The crystal clear pastries were neatly placed in the middle of the plate.
I don't know what it's called, but it does look appetizing.
She raised her hand slightly, picked up a piece at random and took a bite. A faint fragrance quickly spread in her mouth.
Her eyes sparkled as she nodded at Qi Ran, "This tastes really good."
Qi Ran folded his hands together and rested his head on his elbows. "If you want to eat, eat more. It's okay."
After Meng Youning bit half of the cake, she quietly put the cake back on the plate.
Qi Ran quickly spoke up, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"No." Meng Youning suddenly said, "My health has improved, and I feel much more energetic every day. It's really too boring to stay in the mansion all day. I want to go out and get some fresh air."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Ran shook his head resolutely, "It's not that I don't want you to go out, it's just that the doctor has already told you that you need to be more careful now that you've finally gotten a little better, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
"By the way, your father came to see me again a few days ago, and I gave him ten taels of silver, but he came again in less than a day. Later, I asked someone to follow and check, and found out that your father had been in the gambling house all day long." Qi Ran said while paying close attention to Meng Youning's expression.
Seeing that Meng Youning's face was calm, he paused and continued, "All the money he had was basically put into the gambling house, so when he came to me the second time, I had him kicked out."
After saying that, he spoke again tentatively, "He is your biological father after all. I thought about it and decided that I should tell you anyway. Youning, you won't blame me, right?"
Meng Youning was stunned.
She remembered the original owner's parents. After giving the original owner to Qi Ran, they not only ignored her, but even tried to extort money from Qi Ran many times.
Qi Ran had never liked the original owner, and after the original owner did many annoying things, Qi Ran directly ordered people to drive the original owner's parents out of Shengjing.
Those parents can no longer be called parents.
She also remembered that later on, Qi Ran almost killed the original owner by accident.
The original owner was disheartened and wanted to run away with the money. He immediately found the parents and wanted them to help him escape from Qi Ran.
However, as they had agreed, after the original owner woke up the next day, he unexpectedly found himself back in the Prince's Mansion.
Thinking of this, a hint of frost appeared on Meng Youning's face.
She spoke softly, with no emotion in her voice, "How could that be?"
