Si Xueyi was obviously frightened by Lin Zan's bluffing move, and even began to look at the carriage.
Bixia also understood the meaning of the young lady's words, and lowered her head and said softly, "When the emperor gave the young lady a carriage, he said that anyone who saw this carriage must give way."
"If you don't let him go, it's the same crime as committing treason, which is equivalent to defying the emperor, and he should be put to death."
These words instantly made Si Xueyi's face turn pale.
Lin Zhan nodded at Bixia with satisfaction. After leaving the palace, if he wanted others not to bully him, he had to be tougher in his attitude.
"Ms. Si, did you hear that? You just rammed my carriage. You are guilty of insubordination." Lin Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the dazed Si Xueyi.
Si Xueyi also saw the imperial seal on the carriage, and quickly got off her own carriage, kneeling on the ground and gritting her teeth, saying, "I know my crime."
"You despise the emperor's grace. It's not enough to simply admit your guilt. In fact, I am not important, but this carriage was given by the emperor."
"So when Miss Si says she admits her guilt, it shouldn't be directed at me, but at this carriage."
Lin Zan said with a smile, reminding Si Xueyi.
With the handle in Lin Zan's hand, Si Xueyi had no choice but to bow her head and grit her teeth and say "forgiveness" to the carriage.
Seeing Si Xueyi swallowing her anger in front of him, Lin Zhan was delighted. "Miss Si, please don't blame me in your heart. After all, to put it bluntly, the carriage given by the emperor is more valuable than the horse. You can't bump into it."
"Ms. Lin is right. Xueyi knows she was wrong and will never make the same mistake again." Si Xueyi said in a low voice, enduring the humiliation in her heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Zhan didn't want to waste time here and let the carriage continue to move forward.
The maid beside Si Xueyi hurried over and tried to help her up, but was pushed away by Si Xueyi.
She looked towards the direction where Lin Zhan left with a hint of malice in her eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Today's revenge must be repaid a hundredfold, Lin Zhan, just wait for me."
Lin Zhan in the carriage was in a really good mood at the moment. While eating the dried fruits handed to him by Bixia, he happily lifted the curtain and observed the world.
Soon, everyone left Shangjing, and the surrounding scenery became much more desolate. Lin Zhan soon lost interest and stayed in the carriage to catch up on his sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Bixia gently woke Lin Zhan up, put a cloak on her and said, "Miss, we have arrived at Qinglan Courtyard."
"Really? I want to see what the legendary Qinglan Courtyard looks like." Lin Zan was so happy that he opened the curtain and got out of the carriage before Bixia could even fasten her cloak.
After taking a quick look around, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, because the surroundings were crowded with carriages and ladies from royal families.
Since Qinglan Academy accepted all the noble ladies in Shangjing who were qualified to go to school, the number of people was naturally not small.
Moreover, today is the first day of school, and most of the ladies from wealthy families were sent here by their stepmothers. With the addition of various servants and maids, the number of people is even greater.
It was so crowded that if someone didn't know, they would have thought it was a big fair. However, few of these people approached Lin Zan.
The first reason was that Lin Zan’s carriage was so luxurious and was a gift from the emperor, so naturally no one dared to approach it casually.
In addition, Lin Zan's identity was very sensitive and special, so everyone just watched from where they were and did not step forward.
Thus, a special vacuum zone was formed around Lin Zan. Only she and her maid Bixia stood there, looking at the gate of Qinglan Courtyard.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded not far from Lin Zhan. She looked in that direction curiously and saw a woman in a green cloak slowly coming towards her.
The woman came closer and took off her hat, revealing a delicate face. Although her skin was a little dark, it was delicate and flawless, especially her pair of exquisite eyebrows and eyes, which were very captivating.
And this woman was none other than Wang Lanye, whom Lin Zan had known before.
"I've heard that you've been blessed by the emperor and will come to Qinglan Academy to study. You don't know that I've been so happy for several days, looking forward to seeing you today." Wang Lanye said affectionately, holding Lin Zan's hand.
Lin Zhan also smiled shyly. "I am naturally very happy to see Sister Wang, but I am also a little nervous. I don't know what we will learn in Qinglan Academy, and I don't know if I can keep up."
After all, it was going to school, so Lin Zan was always a little nervous, but her words made Wang Lanye giggle.
"After all, it's just learning some arts, calligraphy, painting and female virtues. Don't worry, if you don't want to learn, no one will force you to learn." Wang Lanye said to Lin Zan to comfort her.
In this era, people still believe that women are virtuous even if they are not talented. Although these noble ladies came to the girls' school, they mostly learned some knowledge about the boudoir and how to manage the household.
After all, it is used for the convenience of men. Lin Zhan couldn't help but curl his lips and didn't say much.
At this time, Si Xueyi's carriage also arrived, and her situation was similar to Lin Zan's, and not many people approached her.
No one approached Lin Zhan because she was favored by the emperor and the empress, and most people could not reach her.
As for Si Xueyi, it was because of her special identity. She was the adopted daughter of the Qin family. She had no family background but was beautiful. She entered Qinglan Courtyard relying on the reputation of Wu Jue, but she was also looked down upon.
Soon, many ladies from prominent families gathered outside the mountain gate. The door of Qinglan Courtyard slowly opened and three people walked out.
These three people were all women, wearing green crowns on their heads and long waisted gowns. They had an elegant demeanor and were even prettier than the men.
At the same time as the three people came out, the sound of bells echoed between the mountain gates, which meant that the students could enter the mountain gates.
Lin Zan, who was still confused, followed Wang Lanye up the stairs and entered Qinglan Courtyard.
The crowd gathered together, with excitement on their faces.
What is somewhat surprising is that the first thing to do upon entering Qinglan Academy is to take an assessment. After passing the assessment, the teacher will divide the ladies into different classes and train them separately.
This made Lin Zhan excited. When she was in modern society, her favorite thing was taking exams. She also passed many tests, which made her an excellent surgeon.
When she thought of this, Lin Zhan couldn't help but get ready to try, but when she saw the test paper, she was dumbfounded.
