Chapter 77 Opposition
Shen Chuo never expected that he would also be rewarded by His Highness.
Her Highness even gave him her calligraphy to encourage him.
His Highness really has high hopes for him.
When Chen Chuo received the girl's elegant and graceful handwritten letter, he was so happy that his whole heart felt like it was soaked in a honey pot. He laughed out loud while reading the book, and he studied until dawn without realizing it, without feeling tired.
He will definitely not let His Highness down.
He would do his best to get in front of Her Highness and steal her attention away from others.
So, the two people in Duke Chen's Mansion worked harder than each other.
In Hongwenguan, the seventh princess Ling Qian's house arrest was temporarily lifted.
The Seventh Princess also wanted to try this year's female official assessment, saying that she really wanted to go to the court to help His Majesty share his worries. After the virtuous concubine pleaded with her, His Majesty saw that she was sincere and agreed.
In Ling State, although it is rare for princesses to enter the court, it does happen.
For example, the current Princess Luoxia has many disciples in the court, and she can have a say in many things if she wants to.
However, if a princess wants to enter the court and hold an official title, she must also take the female official examination like ordinary women. The only advantage is that she does not need to take a martial arts test. Even if there is no martial arts test, the content of the female official's literary examination is not simple, and it can be said that one in a million is selected.
This road is not easy to walk. Royal princesses are born with fine clothes and delicious food, and are admired by all the people. Most people will not endure this hardship and are willing to work so hard to walk this road.
It would be better to find a son-in-law with a prominent family background and outstanding abilities.
Therefore, the Seventh Princess Ling Qian was able to tell the emperor that she had been preparing for the female official assessment for a long time, and the emperor was indeed impressed by her.
Ling Qingyan also looked at him with admiration.
The Spring Examination is approaching. Recently, Mu Xianzhi would stay in the classroom for a while after school every day to answer questions and resolve doubts.
Originally, they were asking questions one after another, but now, Ling Qian showed her domineering nature, as if she wanted to stick to Mu Xianzhi.
But she is a princess, so others can't say anything.
"My father has high hopes for me," he said, and then "You are just study companions. It is the duty of Grand Tutor Mu to answer questions and guide the princes and princesses."
Don't leave any chance for others.
It would be fine if he just took advantage of Master Mu and prevented others from asking questions, but the key point is that he is stupid.
If she really asked some normal questions, it would be helpful for everyone to listen to Master Mu's opinions. This is also the reason why many of them wanted to squeeze their heads into the Hongwenguan to be the reading companions of the princes and princesses.
In the end, Ling Qian asked some very simple questions.
Even Ling Qingyan could understand the question.
With this level of skill, why should she join in the fun?
Ling Qingyan was surprised to find that even Mu Xianzhi's mask of being a cold and noble tutor, which he had disguised so well, was about to fall off.
His expression became increasingly gloomy, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a look as if he was looking at an idiot.
Although Ling Qingyan is also a poor student, she will not embarrass herself, nor will she act as she pleases in front of other people who are hungry for knowledge.
Ling Qingyan took a deep breath and found the scene a little funny.
She adjusted her hair bun, held a round fan with a brocade pattern of mountains, rivers and pavilions, and stood up slowly.
Well, let her come and save them.
First, I really can't stand Ling Qian's stupid behavior.
Secondly, if Ling Qian continued asking, she was afraid that Mu Xianzhi would not be able to continue pretending.
Ling Qingyan walked forward slowly, and the people around her spontaneously made way for her, looking at her with admiration and expectation, as if she were a demon catcher, wanting her to quickly take away the demon Ling Qian.
Ling Qingyan did exactly that.
"Have you asked enough questions, Seventh Princess?" Ling Qingyan tilted her head and looked at her, her face covered by a round fan, revealing only a pair of curved eyes.
When Mu Xianzhi saw Ling Qingyan approaching, his expression eased a lot. Ling Qian was not ugly, but Mu Xianzhi felt a little nauseous when he looked at her. Seeing her holding the scroll, he felt even more nauseous.
The appearance of His Highness seemed to brighten up the entire school. Mu Xianzhi could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the breeze blew on his face, making him feel a little refreshed this time.
"No, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't school over already? Just go back to your Yaohua Palace. You are not taking part in the female official assessment?" Ling Yao glanced at her with extremely disdainful eyes, even more than usual... contempt?
Mu Xianzhi was indeed very capable. Ling Qian asked him many questions, and his answers gave Ling Qian an epiphany, as if the mud that had been blocked somewhere had suddenly cleared.
Is this what it feels like to be educated?
Ling Qian was now very confident. What were those so-called talented men and women? With her learning ability, she would definitely be able to become her father's right-hand man in time. By then, she would naturally be much better than those ordinary princesses.
Ling Qian held her head higher than usual, and looked at Ling Qingyan as if she were a fool.
She is no longer comparable to ordinary people.
It feels like a waste of time to say any unnecessary nonsense to her. What is there to say to her? They are not the same kind of people.
Ling Qian's arrogance and contempt for others were too obvious, and Ling Qingyan could see it.
She held her forehead, smiling bitterly and speechlessly.
With this kind of brain, you still want to enter the court?
Just because a good teacher like Mu Xianzhi accidentally poured a few drops of ink into your heart, you become lawless and don't know your own weight?
Not to mention that she probably can't enter the court with her level, even if she can, she has such a pig brain.
His domineering attitude has made his interpersonal relationships so ugly that even if he really enters the court, he will offend a lot of people, and it will be difficult for him to move forward, and he will be tripped up at every step.
Ling Qian was no longer listening to any advice, and Ling Qingyan didn't intend to waste words with her. She said directly, "Didn't the Seventh Princess say that the Grand Tutor is the Grand Tutor of the Princess and the Prince? If the Princess can find Grand Tutor Mu, why can't Qingyan?"
"Ling Qingyan! Are you deliberately going against me? What could be wrong with you? Besides, you're not taking part in the Spring Examination?!"
"It's not like only those who participated in the Spring Examination can seek advice from Master Mu." Ling Qingyan waved her hand and looked at Mu Xianzhi with a bright smile, "Isn't that right, Master Mu?"
The girl slowly took off the round fan that was covering her face, revealing an extremely beautiful face.
"Your Highness is right." Mu Xianzhi's voice was so gentle that it could reveal water.
Ling Qingyan raised an eyebrow at Ling Qian, then smiled and pursed her lips, forcibly pushing Ling Qian away.
When the girl pushed Ling Qian away, she inevitably bumped into Mu Xianzhi slightly. Most of the students watching were watching the exciting scene of His Highness Tang Ning punishing the Seventh Princess.
No one noticed that the serious Master Mu on the stage had a deeper smile on his face the moment Princess Tangning touched him.
Except for Chen Chuo.
He still had that friendly smile on his face.
In his hands hidden in his wide sleeves, he stroked the letter the girl had written to him.
