Chapter 267 Mu Jingxing finds something for Xiao Chengqian to do.
"Miss Yu, Miss Yun."
A kind-looking female official, estimated to be around forty years old, came towards them, accompanied by several women who looked like managers.
Hearing the voice, Cheng Qingmeng retracted her gaze and hurriedly introduced, "Cousin, this is Master Qin of Chaofeng Palace Academy."
Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun hurriedly greeted him, "Greetings, Sect Leader Qin."
Seeing that Song Yu was very polite, Master Qin smiled and helped the two of them up. "Miss Yu, Miss Yun, from now on, study hard in the academy. If you encounter problems that you can't solve, you can come to me."
Song Yu nodded: "Okay, Master Qin."
Master Qin turned sideways, and a beautiful woman with a cool temperament walked forward.
"This is your lady, Xu Huixu."
"Students Song Yu/Jiang Shiyun have met Mr. Xu."
Xu Hui smiled and nodded, "Miss Yu, Miss Yun, it's getting late, please follow me to class."
Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun bid farewell to Cheng Qingmeng and left with Xu Hui.
Cheng Qingmeng looked back in the direction of Beigong Xue. There were few students there at this time. He could only find time to go to Beigong Xue to take a look.
"Meng'er, what are you looking at? Class is about to start. If you're late, the teacher will spank you!"
"Oh, let's go then."
Just as Cheng Qingmeng and a few of her good sisters left, a girl in a green skirt walked in from the gate.
He turned his head and saw Cheng Qingmeng's receding back, and his eyes darkened.
"Qingyao, we'll be late in half an hour."
Yu Qingyao withdrew her gaze and quickly walked towards Beigong Xue with her good sister.
Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun were arranged by Xu Hui to enter the Sixth Rank Hall of Nangong Academy.
As the name suggests, the students in Liupin Hall are all sixth-rank noble ladies.
There are fifteen noble ladies in the Sixth Rank Hall, all of whom are new faces to Song Yu.
Before Xu Hui introduced the two to each other, the ladies were somewhat resistant to their arrival.
They all had to take a major exam to qualify as sixth-rank noble ladies.
Since the two of them were admitted as exceptions, they were naturally regarded as outliers by them.
"My dear ladies, this is Miss Yu, the eldest daughter of the Weiyuan Marquisate, and this is Miss Yun, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. From now on, you will all be classmates. You should study hard together..."
Before Xu Hui finished her introduction, everyone in the audience started whispering to each other.
Isn’t the eldest daughter of the Du family the third-rank noble lady Du Zhihuan?
How could it be her?
Is there something wrong?
"Be quiet." Xu Hui said in a deep voice, and everyone shut up.
"Miss Yu, Miss Yun, please take your seats. The first class today is calligraphy, taught by the former Grand Tutor, Master Jiang."
After the words were spoken, shock and disbelief flashed in the eyes of the noble ladies.
Mr. Jiang!
The Imperial Teacher actually came to teach them in person.
They were lucky.
The ladies reacted quickly and looked at Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun, with no hostility in their eyes.
They are benefiting from the two of them.
I wish I could become sisters with them right away.
One is the daughter of a marquis, and the other is the granddaughter of Boss Jiang.
If their father and brother could get support from these two families, they would naturally make further progress in their official careers.
Song Yu was a little confused and whispered, "Is it really my grandfather who is coming to give a lecture?"
Jiang Shiyun shook her head, thinking it was impossible because her grandfather was still having breakfast when she left.
She had specifically asked about it, and her grandfather said that he was going out to meet a friend today, and also told her to listen to her teacher at school.
Only when Jiang Youya stepped into the Sixth Rank Hall and stood on the stage alive did Jiang Shiyun have to believe it.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang." All the noble ladies stood up and saluted.
"Okay, kids, sit down."
Jiang Youya winked secretly at the two sisters before saying seriously, "For the next month, I will be teaching your calligraphy classes..."
"Prince!" Xiao Fei used his lightness skills to fly into Mu Jingxing's office study.
"This is Miss Song's course schedule. I obtained it from Sect Leader Qin in your name. Oh, no, in the name of the Emperor."
Mu Jingxing took a look at Song Yu's course schedule. There were only four large classes and three small classes in ten days.
"Sir, Miss Song has no classes from 4:30 PM tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. Can you invite Miss Song to your house the day after tomorrow?"
Mu Jingxing nodded.
"Then I will go to the entrance of Chaofeng Palace Academy and wait there before 3 p.m.?"
Mu Jingxing shook his head. "Don't go to the door. You're so big that you're too conspicuous. The ladies will think I'm nearby and scare them. Wait until Miss Song is far away before you approach."
Xiao Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Your Highness should find a way to keep Prince Xiao busy. On the days when Miss Song doesn't have classes, Prince Xiao will definitely go to see her."
Prince Xiao didn't realize it now, but if he found out that he ran into his own prince every time he met Miss Song, he would definitely be suspicious.
Once Prince Xiao finds out that the Crown Prince is competing with him for his wife, it will be impossible for him to be friendly and respectful to his brother.
Mu Jingxing's face turned even colder when he asked, "You think too much. I just asked Miss Song to come to check on my grandmother."
Oh, the prince explained.
Hey!
To explain is to cover up.
"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave."
After Xiao Fei left, Mu Jingxing picked up a file from the desk and said to himself, "Such a difficult case, my cousin is so smart, he will definitely be able to solve it quickly."
After a while, Mu Jingxing left the Dali Temple and entered the palace.
Xiao Chengqian also got Song Yu's course schedule.
In order to create more opportunities to be alone with Song Yu, he made detailed arrangements with Lin Yutang.
Just as the mother and son were busy making arrangements, Xiao Yanli sent a palace maid to call Xiao Chengqian into the palace.
He was assigned a difficult case brought up by Mu Jingxing and was asked to solve it within ten days.
Xiao Chengqian was at a loss for a moment. He quickly picked up the file and looked through it. "Your Majesty, isn't this the case my cousin has been following?"
"I've asked him to follow up on other difficult new cases. All the clues have been investigated almost completely at the Dali Temple. A Jing said the case can be solved in ten days at most."
"Okay, Your Majesty. I will go to the Dali Temple and hand over the matter to my cousin immediately."
Wang Gui sent the man away and returned to the imperial study: "Your Majesty, there is no case that Prince Mu cannot solve. Why did he find it so difficult this time?"
Xiao Yanli shook his head, "I don't know either. It might really stump him."
When Xiao Hongyi learned that Xiao Chengqian had taken on another task assigned by the emperor, he thought of letting him take care of it, but after reading the file, he handed it to Xiao Chengqian.
"There's a long way to go. It wouldn't take a few days to improve my relationship with Miss Song. Now, let's focus on the Emperor's affairs first."
At noon, Song Yu did not go to the Palace Academy's dining hall for lunch. He found an excuse to take Bai Lan Chunhua out of the Palace Academy.
Song Yu went to a Jiangnan restaurant two blocks away from the Palace Academy.
As soon as we went up to the private room on the second floor and sat down, Ah Qi followed us in.
"Aqi, tell me in detail what happened that night."
"That man is Yang Xu, Wu Lingheng's staff member. He is now using poisonous insects to control Song Mingzhu... His attitude is not like that of a staff member, but more like that of a superior master, who does not take Song Mingzhu seriously."
Song Yu was surprised. "That's right! How could a retainer dare to put a curse on his master and control him? Did you see what he looks like?"
"I only saw his forehead on the roof, but he was very surprised. When Song Mingzhu woke up, the man instantly blew out the candles beside and behind him."
Bai Lan said, "Miss, this person doesn't want Song Mingzhu to recognize who he is, right?"
Ah Qi said, "From their conversation, it's clear that Song Mingzhu doesn't know this person."
Song Yu said, "Then he must know Song Mingzhu. This person can change his face. Maybe he is really an old friend of Song Mingzhu. This face must be fake? Even the name Yang Xu is fake."
Ah Qi thought carefully about what happened last night. "Miss, his name might be fake, but his face must be real. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting so strangely. Today, Song Mingzhu even interrogated Wu Zhong and forced him to reveal Yang Xu's true identity. Wu Zhong was practically beaten to death, but he still insisted that Yang Xu was Wu Lingheng's aide."
Song Yu took a few mouthfuls of noodles and said after a while, "Go find a way to see this person's true face. Oh, forget it, there's no need."
"Miss, this person is very strange, don't you want to check it out?"
Song Yu said, "If we investigate him, wouldn't that be helping Song Mingzhu investigate him? Who cares who he is? Now Song Mingzhu is ready to trick me into cutting my face off at any time. Our focus should be on watching Song Mingzhu's movements, but we also need to keep an eye on Yang Xu. If Song Mingzhu fails, he might take action himself."
Song Mingzhu needs to show some courage and be braver, don't be timid!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to cut Song Mingzhu's face with a legitimate reason!
