Hearing Shen Wanghong say this, Shen Wangqiu couldn't help but look at Shen Lizhao with admiration.
Shen Wangqiu was really surprised to hear such words from a teenage girl, but also very pleased.
If Shen Wanghong had understood these principles earlier, he would not have ended up in this situation today.
After Shen Wanghong left, Shen Wangqiu told Jiang about this matter, and Jiang nodded repeatedly after listening.
"Yue'er was right about Zhao'er. He is indeed someone who can be helped."
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the Spring Examination.
Shen Weian is going to take the exam this year, which is a big event for the Shen family.
Shen Liyue had already prepared things for Shen Weian. She sewed a pair of knee pads by herself and embroidered two rice dumplings on them, which meant "high school".
Shen Weian laughed when he saw the pair of knee pads. Shen Wangqiu and Jiang couldn't help but smile. Yue'er was still so naughty even though she was the Princess of Yi.
Shen Liyue also asked Meixiang to make a lot of dried meat for Shen Weian to take with him. The Spring Examination lasted for nine days in total, and these dried meats were enough for Shen Weian to get through it.
On the day of the exam, the Shen family came to see Shen Weian off.
Lu Xingzhou also came with Shen Liyue. The two of them kept a low profile today because they were not representing the royal family, but were here to take the exam for Shen Weian.
But even so, there were still people who recognized Lu Xingzhou, and everyone greeted him.
Lu Xingzhou pressed his hands together and said in a clear voice, "Today is the Spring Examination. I wish all the students will live up to their ten years of hard work and succeed in getting admitted."
Everyone bowed to Lu Xingzhou and said, "Thank you, King Yi, and thank you, Princess Yi."
Shen Wangqiu patted Shen Weian’s shoulder: “Do well in the exam, your father is waiting to celebrate your success.”
Shen Weian puffed out his chest proudly: "Please rest assured, father, I will live up to your expectations."
But Jiang was more concerned about whether Shen Weian could eat and dress warmly in the examination hall these days. Shen Weian smiled and comforted his mother: "My son is just going to take the imperial examination, not to fight at the border. Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of myself."
Jiang still nodded worriedly.
The girl from the Cui family also came today, but because they were not engaged yet, Cui Shiyin did not want to see her off openly. She just sat in the carriage and asked her personal maid Yinping to bring a cloak to Shen Weian.
"My daughter said that the night is getting darker and the dew is heavier. If Master Shen feels cold, he can cover himself with a cloak over the quilt."
Shen Weian glanced towards the Cui family carriage and saw Cui Shiyin lifting the curtain and looking over here.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and Shen Weian nodded to Cui Shiyin. Cui Shiyin immediately understood what Shen Weian meant. Shen Weian was telling her not to worry.
The two of them were in tune with each other, and Shen Liyue couldn't help but smile when she saw it.
It was Shen Liyue's turn. Shen Liyue winked at Shen Weian cunningly: "I won't say anything about wishing my brother to pass the high school entrance examination. My brother is tired of hearing it. I just hope that my brother can pass the examination and marry my beautiful sister-in-law as soon as possible."
Shen Weian was also amused, reaching out and tapping Shen Liyue on the head: "Naughty!"
After seeing off Shen Weian, Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue bid farewell to Shen Wangqiu and Jiang, and took the carriage back to Prince Yi's Mansion.
Shen Liyue had nothing to worry about taking part in the imperial examination with Shen Weian. She knew Shen Weian's abilities and had seen how hard he had studied for ten years. Now the imperial examination was just a test of his daily hard work.
But Shen Liyue has to plan Shen Liqing's marriage carefully for her.
Xu had opened her mouth to ask this, and since Shen Liyue had agreed, she would not send it away casually.
Shen Liyue thought about it, then called Shen Liqing over.
This was Shen Liqing's second time entering Prince Yi's Mansion. The first time was during Shen Liyue's wedding.
Shen Liqing had been living in the Shen Mansion, and she did not seem too surprised when she entered Prince Yi's Mansion.
But she was still impressed by the grandeur and elegance of Prince Yi's Mansion.
It is spring now, and many flowers in the garden have already bloomed. The weeping crabapple in the yard is particularly beautiful.
Chen Liqing couldn't help but stop and watch. There were already several butterflies lingering among the flowers.
Shen Liqing had seen the lord's wealth and splendor, but this lively and quiet garden made Shen Liqing fascinated.
How nice it would be if I could live in Prince Yi’s Mansion.
Seeing that Shen Liqing was not leaving, Shuying stepped forward and reminded with a smile: “Miss San, the princess is waiting in the flower hall in front.”
Shen Liqing came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Shuying: "Sorry, please lead the way, sister."
Shuying smiled and led Shen Liqing through the hanging flower archway to the flower hall.
As expected, Shen Liyue was already sitting there waiting, and when she saw Shen Liqing, she stood up to greet her.
Chen Liqing saluted Chen Liyue politely: "Greetings, Princess."
Shen Liyue smiled and said, "You should call me Big Sister just like Yi An."
"Yes, big sister."
Shen Liyue asked Anxiang to serve tea to Shen Liqing. Shen Liqing respectfully took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and put it on the small table beside him.
Shen Liyue observed Shen Liqing's movements. She was graceful and elegant, like a lady from a noble family.
"I called you here today because you are about to come of age. My third aunt mentioned your marriage to me, and I wanted to ask what your plans are?" Shen Liyue said.
A blush appeared on Shen Liqing's face. As an unmarried girl, she was a little shy when she heard Shen Liyue ask this.
"I...I will follow the arrangements of my parents and the princess."
Chen Liyue nodded. "There's nothing wrong with following the arrangements, but this is your lifelong event, and it concerns your lifelong happiness. This is no joke."
Chen Liqing lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, but did not speak.
