When he entered the classroom, all the students, including the two princesses, stood up and greeted him with the student salute.
Su Xiaoxiao performed the student etiquette for the first time, following the example of Princess Jingning standing beside her.
Princess Jingning: She even looked at me when she bowed.
After Master Jiang motioned for everyone to sit down, he began the formal lecture.
Su Xiaoxiao's special appearance, coupled with the fact that she was sitting in the first row, made her particularly eye-catching.
Master Jiang glanced at her and found that her desk was empty.
Master Jiang frowned: "Where is your book?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked around.
There was a copy of the Analects on everyone's desk, except hers.
“No one sent it to me,” she said.
The daughters burst into laughter.
Master Jiang frowned and said, "You brought the books yourself! Didn't anyone tell you to bring books?"
"No." Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully.
The teaching nanny yesterday really didn't say anything.
"What nonsense!" Master Jiang didn't believe it. He and several other masters had already reported what needed to be prepared yesterday. Officials from the Ministry of Rites had contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Other daughters had also made preparations, which showed that they had received the notice.
If you forgot to bring it, then you forgot to bring it. You actually gave yourself an excuse to just take it off and wear it.
Mr. Jiang's impression of this freshman was instantly discounted.
"Use mine." Princess Jingning generously placed her book between the two of them.
If someone else did this, he would have been scolded by Master Jiang - you are capable, and you are united and friendly, so you go and provide her with clothes and food!
But the other party is a princess.
Mr. Jiang swallowed his anger and said, "Let the class begin."
Thinking of something, he suddenly asked, "Who is Miss Su?"
Su Xiaoxiao silently raised her chubby hand: "Me."
Master Jiang: “…”
Mr. Jiang is teaching the "Li Ren" chapter of the "Analects of Confucius" today.
"It is good to be kind. If you do not live in kindness, how can you know? An unkind person cannot live in a contract for long, nor can he enjoy happiness for a long time. A kind person is at peace with kindness, and a wise person benefits from it. Only a kind person can love people and hate people. If you are determined to be kind, you will not do evil."
"Which student knows what the next sentence is?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Princess Hui'an's eager face.
"Princess Hui'an, please tell me."
"ah?"
Princess Hui'an was stunned.
She didn't understand why her family was suddenly named.
"If one is committed to benevolence, there will be no evil. Next sentence." Master Jiang thought she didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.
Princess Hui'an could not answer.
She looked like she was listening attentively, but Master Jiang thought she was just a fool.
"Master, I can," said Princess Jingning.
Master Jiang was stunned for a moment: "Uh... then, let Princess Jingning speak."
In this situation, only Princess Jingning had the confidence to answer the questions that Princess Hui'an could not answer. Otherwise, how could those rich girls dare to slap Princess Hui'an in the face? Princess Jingning stood up and answered calmly: "Wealth and honor are what people desire; if they are not obtained by the right way, they will not stay. Poverty and humbleness are what people hate; if they are not obtained by the right way, they will not give up. If a gentleman abandons benevolence, how can he become famous? A gentleman will not violate benevolence for a single moment. He will do so in times of haste and in times of hardship."
"I have never seen anyone who loves benevolence and hates unkindness. Those who love benevolence have nothing to be superior to; those who hate unkindness are human beings who will not allow unkindness to harm them. Is there anyone who can use his strength to benevolent for just one day? I have never seen anyone who is not strong enough. There are such people, but I have never seen them."
Master Jiang only asked her to respond to the next sentence, but she went right to two long paragraphs.
Hui'an's face was slapped loudly.
Master Jiang had not expected that she could recite so much in one breath. He pressed his hands in a daze and said, "No, that's right. Princess Jingning, please take a seat."
Princess Hui'an was so angry that her face turned green!
You don't need to bring your own pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as Gong Xue has prepared them for you.
Master Jiang taught regular script and after the lecture he distributed calligraphy copybooks for everyone to practice.
He walked around and observed how his students were writing.
Princess Hui'an's handwriting is hard to describe.
Mr. Jiang's mouth twitched.
He finally understood that this prince's seriousness was all fake and he was actually a fool.
He came to Princess Jingning again.
Princess Jingning surprised him. Her handwriting was vigorous and powerful, retaining the beauty of a woman while also maintaining the heroism of a man.
He nodded secretly, feeling very satisfied.
As for Su Xiaoxiao standing beside him, he didn't pay any attention to her at all.
He then looked at the words of the others.
These rich ladies have been carefully selected and have outstanding overall abilities, so their calligraphy is naturally not bad at all.
Among them, the calligraphy of Qin Yanran and Leng Zhiruo is the most outstanding.
Princess Lingxi stayed in the harem with the Empress Dowager for a long time, and only came back late when the school classes were almost over.
"The Empress Dowager was feeling a little unwell, and Princess Lingxi took care of her for a long time, which delayed the class."
Eunuch Tan who was beside the Empress Dowager said.
Master Jiang politely said it was okay and asked Princess Lingxi to take a seat.
There were two empty seats in the class, one in the last row and one next to Princess Hui'an.
Princess Lingxi sat in the last row without a second thought.
There is no other reason.
Princess Lingxi and Princess Hui'an are love rivals.
What the two of them didn't know was that their real rival in love was sitting next to Princess Jingning, holding a brush in his chubby hand and scribbling on the calligraphy with a bitter and resentful look on his face.
Compared to doing business, time goes by so slowly when I’m in school.
Finally, the morning classes were over, and the palace servants came to lead everyone to Mingyue Pavilion for lunch and rest.
After all, the Qilin Hall is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is okay for female students to have classes here with officials walking around, but it is somewhat impolite for them to sleep or rest in the hall.
Everyone was assigned his own compartment.
The princesses were allowed to return to their own palaces, but Princess Hui'an did not want to stay here for meals, so she returned to Concubine Xian's Qixiang Palace. Princess Jingning also planned to return to Kunning Palace.
"Your Highness."
The little maid beside Princess Jingning handed her a brocade box.
Princess Jingning asked, "What is it?"
The little palace maid said, "I don't know."
"Who gave it to you?" asked Princess Jingning.
The little palace maid said, "Miss Su asked me to bring it to you."
"Open it." said Princess Jingning.
"Yes." The little palace maid opened the brocade box, and a sweet and crispy fragrance wafted out.
They are wife cakes and egg yolk pastries.
Was her classmate trying to make peace with her? Could it be that...she wanted to have dinner with her? Princess Jingning imagined a scene in her mind of a fat little girl eating alone, being isolated and laughed at by everyone, feeling so wronged that she couldn't eat and burst into tears.
She sighed: "Forget it, let her eat at my place."
So, Su Xiaoxiao, who had just sat down and was about to try the food in the palace cafeteria, was "forcefully" taken away by Princess Jingning's palace servants.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
What's going on? Let's prepare a fat chapter. My dears, please vote for Fang Fangzi~ (End of this chapter)
