Chapter 112 The Charm of the Sixth Miss Sheng

"Ahem..." Mr. Zhuang spoke up to break the ambiguous atmosphere. He had a hidden worry in his heart. He had taught eight children since he came to the Sheng family, but only four of them were going to take the imperial examinations. Now one of the good ones had passed. Mr. Zhuang hoped that the remaining three would all pass the imperial examinations. However, the love affairs of young girls were the most exhausting, and with the imperial examinations approaching, he could not afford to be distracted. Mr. Zhuang thought for a long time, and finally gave some words of advice.

Mr. Zhuang stood in the hall, looking at the students with a kind look, and spoke softly but loudly: "My dears, the Spring Examination is approaching. This is a critical moment to test your knowledge and character. It is not the time to indulge in personal feelings, nor is it the day to be impatient. The Spring Examination not only tests your talent, but also your character.

You should not be disturbed by external things, nor trapped by personal feelings! When the results of the Spring Examination are announced, I hope you can all be on the list and become a legend again!"

This wake-up call made Qi Heng regain a bit of clarity. What he should do most now is to concentrate on the exam and prepare for the Spring Examination.

When the class was over, Chang Zhang wanted to take Minglan back together, but was dragged away by Chang Feng.

"Didn't you see that your Sixth Sister and Brother Yuanruo's eyes were almost glued to each other? What are you still doing there? Come with Third Brother, Third Brother will take you to see something fun."

"She left shyly, leaning against the door and looking back, but sniffing the green plums."

"Second Brother, don't walk so fast, what do you mean by saying this?"

The voices of several people gradually faded away, and Minglan could not hear anything, but could only hear her own heartbeat.

"Sixth Sister, I..." Qi Heng had a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say, "I know you understand! There are still half a year..."

Minglan stopped Qi Heng from saying anything else with her hand, "I understand!" Minglan looked at Qi Heng steadily, unable to suppress the smile on her lips, Qi Heng's eyes were gentle, and he also looked at Minglan with a satisfied smile. In this interweaving of eyes, it seemed as if the whole world was still, leaving only the two of them.

On the way back to Chengxin Garden, Minglan's mouth was curled up all the time.

"Are you happy, young lady?" Xiaotao couldn't help asking.

Minglan smiled brightly, "Happy!"

Xiaotao followed Minglan's smile, "If you're happy, I'm happy!"

On the other side, Qi Heng met Mingxi in the garden, and Qi Heng greeted her nervously.

Mingxi went straight to the point, "Young Master, you will also have to take part in the Spring Examination next year, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang said you can give it a try."

"Then do you know what this Spring Examination means?"

Qi Heng suddenly became nervous and wanted to explain, but Mingxi raised his hand to stop him.

"Young Master, there is no need to tell me those words about achieving great things. What I want to tell you today is that the imperial examination will be opened every year. Even if you fail the first time, you just need to work hard for another year. Young Master, you should know that those who believe in themselves will be believed by others. Self-confidence is the foundation of success!"

Mingxi turned around and left after saying this. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Minglan is still young and her mind is not stable. The master wants to keep her by his side for a few more years and educate her carefully. When she grows up and matures, we can discuss marriage."

Qi Heng was still thinking about the meaning of Mingxi's words. Mingxi and Chengzi had already walked far away. Chengzi's voice floated over.

"My dear, the imperial examination is held every two years. If you want to marry someone when you are 29 years old, then you can take the exam twice more..."

The voice gradually became unclear, but Qi Heng's smile became deeper and deeper.

...

On the polo field, Minglan and Zhang Guifen had just sat down when a woman came over. "Are you the sixth daughter of the Sheng family?"

Minglan turned around in surprise, not recognizing her. "May I know who you are?"

"My name is Qingmei, my surname is He, and my father is the Minister of Rites." The girl introduced herself.

Minglan was sure that she did not know this girl, and asked with a smile, "Hello, Miss He, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He Qingmei smiled shyly, "I heard that Young Master Qi is studying at the Sheng family, and is a classmate of the Sixth Miss. Then the Sixth Miss must know the Young Master very well."

Minglan retracted the smile on her face and carefully observed the girl in front of her. She was wearing a light riding suit that perfectly outlined her graceful figure. The elegant blue color made her look as gentle as water, which lived up to her name and made her skin look even whiter.

Minglan's smile was a little stiff, and her tone of voice was also alienated. "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss He. Although I studied with the young master, I'm not very familiar with him. If Miss He wants to know about the young master, I'm afraid I can't help you." Miss

He listened to Minglan's words. Not only did she not show disappointment, but she was very happy. "That day in Moxiangju, I saw the young master stand up for the Sheng sisters. I thought the young master and the six sisters had an unusual relationship. It turns out they are not familiar with each other."

Minglan completely put away the smile on her face. 's smile, "Miss He, you're joking. We sisters have a schoolmate relationship with the young master.

The young master is a gentleman, and he would not sit idly by and watch us sisters imprisoned, so he spoke up for justice." The expression on Miss He's face became more and more proud, "The young master is both virtuous and talented, and has the demeanor of a gentleman. Of course, he would not turn a blind eye to the plight of Miss Six and her sisters. Thank you, Miss Six!"

After Miss He left, Minglan let out a breath and her face fell. Zhang Guifen, who was standing by, witnessed the whole process. Seeing Minglan like this, she had a vague guess in her heart.

"Minglan, we haven't seen each other for a while since we got married. Is there something you haven't told me?"

Minglan was getting irritable and blurted out something that she didn't mean. "What could I be hiding..." She paused. Minglan felt guilty. There was something she hadn't had time to tell recently.

Her guilty expression was too obvious. Zhang Guifen pulled Minglan closer to her and said, "You've hidden something from me. I'll give you a chance. Tell me now."

Minglan hadn't thought about hiding it from her. It was just that they had just met and hadn't had time to tell her. Since Zhang Guifen asked, Minglan told Zhang Guifen everything about her and Qi Heng.

Zhang Guifen listened to Minglan's story, "No wonder you looked upset when Miss He mentioned Qi Heng just now, so that's why." She was a little worried for Minglan, "Princess Pingning is not an easy person to get along with. I know from my mother that she has been looking for a noblewoman with a good family background for Qi Heng, hoping to find a good in-law for Qi Heng to help him rise to the top."

Minglan's reaction was not as worried as Zhang Guifen thought. She was very open-minded, "It doesn't matter! Since he has made a vow, the princess must have agreed. As long as he can pass the imperial examination, he will have a chance to compete with the princess. I will just wait and see how he performs. My mother said that I am also very outstanding. I will like him when I like him. If he is not worthy of my love, I will divorce him. Anyway, my parents are not in a hurry for my marriage."

Zhang Guifen was relieved to hear Minglan's domineering words, "You are my good friend, Zhang Guifen. It's a relief to hear these words! You, Sheng Minglan, are not worthy of any man, you are just an equal! Let's go, I think Miss He is about to leave the court, let's go meet her, use all the kung fu I learned from my family, and let her see the style of Miss Sheng Liu!"

Zhang Guifen took Minglan to the court, and Minglan got the ball first. He Qingmei saw it and suddenly bit the horse's belly and rushed straight to Minglan, intending to snatch the polo ball from her. However, Minglan had already seen through He Qingmei's intentions, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She adjusted the direction and speed of the horse calmly. Just when He Qingmei was about to approach, Minglan lowered her body, almost sliding along the horse's back, and cleverly avoided He Qingmei's attack. Then, she took advantage of the situation and pushed the stirrups. She seemed to turn into the wind and accelerated instantly. The club in her hand drew a perfect arc in the air and hit the flying polo ball accurately.

With a crisp "snap", the polo ball drew a beautiful trajectory in the air and went straight to the goal. Finally, it fell into the net steadily, causing cheers and applause from the audience.

Minglan turned around and faced the stunned He Qingmei, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled brightly.
