Chapter 12 Face Slap (2)
Ning Yue gasped: "This is too precious!"
Princess Fuyuan patted her hand and said, "What's valuable? It's just an old dress. I can't wear it anymore. Instead of letting it moldy in the cabinet, I'd rather let you wear it out to bask in the sun."
Speaking of this, Ning Yue had no choice but to accept it. At this time, Ning Yue didn't know what kind of profound impact this dress would have on her. Her mind was full of memories about Princess Fuyuan— Princess Fuyuan is the first woman in Xiliang to be admitted to Taixue. Before her, Taixue only recruited men. It was she who proved to the world that women are not inferior to men. Only then can they study and read in the academy like men.
Compared to Ma Ningxi, who only has three-color hairpins and feels invincible in the world, Princess Fuyuan, who wears five-color hairpins but always keeps a low profile, is obviously more worthy of admiration.
Ning Yue took a step back, and bowed respectfully.
Princess Fuyuan smiled slightly, stood up, and returned a half salute.
…
Academy
Ning Xi carried two volumes of books borrowed from Zangshuge, and returned to the classroom with a cold expression. As soon as he entered the door, two young ladies immediately surrounded him. The one in yellow was Miss Wu from the prefect's family in Jizhou, and the one in green was Huangmen. Miss Zhang from the servant's family.
"Ma Ningxi! I heard that your sister is coming to the academy! Is it true?" Miss Wu asked curiously.
Ning Xi glared at Ning Wan and Ning Zhen who were not far away. Needless to say, she knew that they had spread the news: "Of course it's not true. She is not in good health and has been recuperating at home."
"So, you really have a younger sister, born to a mother?" Miss Zhang asked.
Ning Xi's expression froze: "...No."
"Oh, it's a concubine." Miss Zhang asked, "Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
"I told you that she is in poor health and always stays at home, and you don't know her, so what do I tell you about her?" After Ning Xi finished answering, seeing that the two of them wanted to ask again, she hurriedly said, "The articles left by the master are all Have you recited it? If you haven’t recited it, you have to hurry up, the master will check it.”
She is the most proud student of the Master, and is often called by the Master to handle some internal affairs, so when she said that the Master will check, it must be checked.
Ms. Wu and Ms. Huang really didn't have the time to gossip. They returned to their seats and began to memorize.
However, before it stopped for a long time, more people gathered around.
"Ma Ningxi, is your sister really coming to the academy?"
"I said no! Can I lie to you? She is sick all day long, and she faints on the ground before she walks out of the gate!"
As soon as Ningxi finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation and noise from the corridor: "Princess Fuyuan is here! Everyone, come and see! Princess Fuyuan's carriage has stopped at the entrance of the academy!"
The crowd dispersed from around Ningxi and rushed to the corridor. Although Ningxi had a gap in her heart, she was not jealous because she was a princess. After straightening her clothes, she stood up arrogantly and gracefully, intending to meet the lady. Let's welcome Princess Fuyuan together. Unexpectedly, as soon as her front foot stepped over the threshold, she heard someone screaming on her back foot——
"Ah—it's not Princess Fuyuan!"
Ning Xi withdrew her foot, then she didn't have to greet her personally.
"who is it?"
"do not know!"
"Look at her belt, golden... royal... royal... oh my god! She's from the royal family!"
Royalty?
Another princess?
Then I still have to pay my respects.
Ning Xi came to the aisle at the entrance together with hundreds of ladies, lined up on both sides, and waited for each other's arrival.
In the crowd, someone shouted, "Ma Ningxi, could it be your sister?"
Ning Xi smiled disdainfully. Her sister is just a sick child and a straw bag. How could she have anything to do with the royal family? Besides, mother has already planned that Ma Ningyue will never appear in the academy today, no, forever!
