Chapter 109 Princess Eighteen Challenges Jin Cheng
After hearing this, the students on the road all looked at him with admiration and started to talk:
"Is this really Zong Jincheng? Isn't he a famous playboy in the capital? Why did he come to study with us?"
"Yeah, I remember he was only eight years old. Last month he took the test and was ranked in the eighth-year-old class. How come he jumped two levels in just one month? Hit me now, I must be still asleep."
"I think he is the next Qin Ye. Think about it. We lost so badly in the last joint exam with Hanlin Academy, but Zong Jincheng made the list. That's Hanlin North Campus. He beat so many people from the North Campus, so his real strength must be stronger."
"It's only been a few months and he has learned so much. I don't believe it. He must have been pretending not to study before, just waiting to shock us now!"
Zong Jincheng listened to the students discussing him enthusiastically, and his pride started to rise again. He would occasionally interject, "I'm not pretending, I've only studied for a few months. As for why I'm so good, it's because I'm naturally smart and destined to become a great talent who defeats Qin Ye!"
“………………”
The discussion suddenly stopped.
Little Devil: “?”
What's happening?
Why didn’t the more intense praise I imagined come?
Did he say something wrong again, hurting the students' fragile hearts?
Zong Wenxiu had already let go of his hand and pretended not to know him.
I can't stand it anymore. I really can't stand it anymore.
My brother's mouth is so hateful.
The students were stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into an uncharacteristic shout: "It's fake, it must be fake, you can't learn so much in a few months."
"That's right, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
"This kid is too arrogant. He even wants to beat Qin Ye from the Children's College. I think he has never experienced the fear of being dominated by Qin Ye. I'm sure he will come out crying after the exam!"
Zong Jincheng: “!!!”
These people!!
How come you change your expression so quickly!
Weren't you all praising him just now? Why are you all mocking him now?
The little devil was furious. He ran to the examination room with a sullen face, shouting, "Just wait, you guys have no vision. I will show you what it means to be a talented person and make rapid progress!"
…
Xu Wan stared at the backs of the two children and sighed helplessly to Cuizhi: "This little bastard is really something. He can even quarrel with others when he is taking an exam. How can he be so energetic?"
Cuizhi smiled and said, "Madam, Master Cheng must have been studying at home in the past few months and hasn't been out to play much. He has no place to vent his energy, so he easily gets angry."
Xu Wan shook her head helplessly and said, "He is not a good-tempered child to begin with. Day by day... I am thinking whether I should hire a teacher to teach him how to speak, so that he won't offend people with his mouth."
Cuizhi said: "It would be more appropriate to ask a retired maid from the palace to teach you how to talk."
Xu Wan said numbly: "But our family doesn't seem to have any connections in the palace."
The old lady came from a merchant family, so she had few friends among officials’ wives, let alone the maids in the palace.
Cuizhi thought for a moment and said, "Madam, I remembered the six-person rule you mentioned. Then, can the eighteenth princess's nanny be an option?"
Xu Wan glanced at her and asked very seriously, "Do you really think that the Eighteenth Princess is better at speaking than Jin Cheng?"
Cuizhi: “…”
These two are really the same...
Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say that.
Xu Wan thought for a while and said, "Jin Cheng said earlier that he wanted to take Wen Xiu to play Cuju, but it has been delayed for a long time. Let's take them to play tomorrow. Running is better for health."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"Sister Xu, I want to go play too!" The voice of Princess Eighteen suddenly came from the side.
Xu Wan and Cuizhi turned around at the same time and saw the Eighteenth Princess jogging towards the gate of Qingbo Academy.
Xu Wan was surprised and asked, "Princess, why are you here?"
Zhaorong ran over, took her arm in her usual familiar way and said, "I originally went to the Marquis' Mansion to visit you, but I was disappointed, so I came here instead. Hey, is this the Academy? It looks so lively, can I choose a prince consort here?"
Xu Wan: "...Calm down."
She pulled the Eighteenth Princess out of the academy, saying as they walked, "There are many gossipers here. If someone hears and tells you about it, it will damage your reputation."
Zhao Rong said fearlessly: "Sister Xu, don't worry, I'm notorious to begin with, it doesn't matter whether I'm damaged or not."
Xu Wan: “…”
Why do you sound so proud?
She took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you say last month that you wanted the Crown Princess to help you choose a consort? Why do you want to choose one yourself now?"
Zhao Rong said with a gloomy face, "But after I presented my proposal last time, the Crown Prince took my sister-in-law out to play, and they haven't come back yet. They have completely forgotten that they have a sister like me who is eager to get married... Woohoo, I am so pitiful."
Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good too. Maybe the Crown Princess will have good news when she returns this time."
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "I also think there will be good news, there will definitely be!"
The two got into the carriage as they were talking, but the carriage didn't move. Zhaorong then realized that she had to wait until her two children finished their exams before she could get out. She was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close.
"Sister Xu, one of them is from the second wife's family, and the other is your adopted son. None of them is your biological child. Why do you care so much about them? It's just an exam. Can't you just have someone send them here?"
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
Xu Wan smiled and said, "After all, they have never studied in the academy. Every time they come to take an exam, I will come over to watch them to prevent any accidents from happening."
Especially that kid Zong Jincheng, he is simply poisonous. Wherever he goes, accidents will happen and it is impossible to guard against him.
Zhao Rong curled her lips and said, "You are so much like my sister-in-law, the Crown Princess. You just love to worry."
Xu Wan complained in her heart: Even if you have a little devil to take care of you, you can become a worrywart.
Zhao Rong said again: "By the way, when I came here just now, I heard you guys talking about playing Cuju tomorrow. Can you take me with you? I also want to play Cuju."
"You?" Xu Wan looked at her. The little girl was blinking her eyes and acting cute at her.
Somehow, the little devil with the same expression appeared in her mind.
What a heart-wrenching yet troublesome boss.
Xu Wan said softly, "Then I'll ask Cuizhi to go to the Cuju field and make arrangements to clear a space for the princess to play Cuju for women."
Zhao Rong said quickly, "No, no, no, why do we have to distinguish between men and women? If you are worried that my identity will be exposed, why don't I just dress up as a man? I want to fight with Zong Jincheng and the others!"
"ah?"
"ah?"
Xu Wan and Cuizhi were both stunned. The Eighteenth Princess was really thoughtful.
She actually wanted to challenge the little devil.
Zhao Rong was still frantically advising her: "I know that men and women should not touch each other, but you can find a bunch of children to come over, they are all small problems."
Xu Wan said in embarrassment: "You should ask Concubine Jing first. If she knew, she would definitely be angry with me..."
Zhao Rong patted her arm and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xu. My mother loves me very much. I'll go back to the palace tonight and tell her. I'll go to the Cuju field to find you tomorrow. See you there."
Xu Wan, who was clearly arranged, said: "..."
