Sheng Shuihe cleared his throat and said, "Sweetie, do you think it has something to do with that day when you recommended me to the Empress Dowager? Uncle Tu told us yesterday that the quotas of Imperial Academy in the Spring Exam have all been taken by Gaomi King and Madam Meng. However, we dropped in all of a sudden, so they will surely have a problem with us!"
Sheng Weiqiao followed his thoughts and said seriously, "Someone doesn’t want you to succeed in the examination, so he or she set you up when Sheng Xiang was looking for a house, right?"
It was possible. According to Tu Ruchuan, Gaomi King and Madam Meng had come to an agreement in terms of the quota distribution of Imperial Academy for next year way before they arrived at Chang'an.
There was no doubt that the two sides had fought fiercely for these quotas. Those students who were supported and foreordained by the two sides must have made lots of efforts, which meant that they, even t
Sheng Shuihe looked at Sheng Weiqiao, who was in tears and about to cry, regretting what he had said before. He knew that she had no sense of security since they arrived at Chang'an, while he kept making her think of the worst situation. She had been jittery only for his future instead of her security, and she might fall sick this time without enough assurance when hearing that Sheng Family would be in danger this time!"Sweetie, don't you forget it! Although Gaomi King is powerful, he is not the only power in the government! Madam Meng is also strong!" With his experience on Daimao Island for over ten years, Sheng Shuihe could handle this situation in a hurry, though with lots of loopholes, so he thought for a while and looked up with a smile, "The Empress Dowager invited you to go to the palace and befriend with Fourteenth Miss Meng and her sisters, right? Since Gaomi King Family may come at us, we could turn to Madam Meng!"In case that Sheng Weiqiao tho
Sheng Weiqiao wanted to jump in the icy pool in the garden nearby!How could I always be so impulsive?How could any human being keep everything in his heart for days, for months, or even the rest of his life?Maybe I was too stupid to remember all the lessons taught repeatedly by my aunt before I talked, getting myself into trouble.Thinking it over, she decided to blame it on Sheng Shuihe!"I would not behave like this without his words!" Sheng Weiqiao was so mad at him, "It is all his fault!"So, she glared at Sheng Shuihe angrily and smiled coldly, "I won't elaborate anything, and you should know what you've done! If you have no idea, you should just stop asking about it."She felt that something went wrong because it sounded flirtatious even though it was harsh.It should not be the way that a sister talked to her brother in anger!I said it not because I knew th
Sheng Weiqiao didn't stay for the speechlessness of Sheng Shuihe and ran back to her wing-room. Luckily, it was heavily windy and snowy, and servants were staying in their rooms with heaters. So no one saw her awkwardness except Jinli, who was asked to wait outside of the door by Lvjin and Lvqi.Sheng Weiqiao locked her door quickly when she returned to her room, which had shocked the little servants and Lvjin, who was sitting next to the window and doing her needlework. Hearing the sound of locking, she got up in a hurry and put the needlework on the table to knock on her Miss’s door.At this time, Jinli who ran into the room after Sheng Weiqiao came to Lvjin and made a gesture of "hushing"."What happened? Didn't Miss talk to Childe in the study?" Lvjin dragged her out of the room and asked her in a hurry regardless of the cold and windy weather, "Why did she come back crying?"Jinli only waited outside instead of serving them in
After Sheng Shuihe made up his mind, he called in Sheng Xiang, Gongsun Xi, and Gongsun Yingdun. He asked Sheng Xiang to talk about the details of his finding a house, and then he let him out of the house first, just keeping Gongsun Xi and other trusted subordinates here to discuss the solution.It was already dinner time after their discussion. Sheng Shuihe glanced at the copper timer in the corner of the room and was about to say that they should separate and have their meals first, but Jinli knocked on the door, came in, and said, "Third Miss said that she felt tired after going out today. She didn’t want to go to the dining room specifically, so she wanted to eat in her room. Miss Sun and Eighth Miss were the same, so they asked me to come here and tell you!""I see." Sheng Shuihe hid the smile in his eyes and thought that the girl realized that she had been seen through after she came back to her room. She must be shy and afraid of seeing him for a whil
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao became more and more surprise and angrier, Sheng Shuihe made a decisive decision immediately. He scolded angrily at Gongsun Xi who was waiting outside, "I did tell you before that you should invite the peers or guests of my age to our study and serve them with a cup of tea first. However, Jing Shu Princess is not familiar with me at all; secondly, she is a woman; thirdly, what time is it now? How can you still follow the old rules? Stupid."Gongsun Xi sighed silently outside and said in his heart that though he tried hard to stop the chief from doing wrong things, his chief was too smart for him to handle. However, it didn't matter!There was still a lot of time. He had the confidence and determination to continue to alienate the siblings so that they would always be siblings!As the chief's most trusted and most reliant subordinate, it was his job to defend the chief's fame and future!As long as he was there
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao was here, Huan Yehe was dumbfounded. She looked at Sheng Shuihe with condemnation. What a stupid man! She came at midnight on purpose to avoid others’ attention. Why was Sheng Weiqiao here?Sheng Shuihe felt terrible at the moment, thinking about how to explain this. He had no time to care about Huan Yehe's feelings.Sheng Weiqiao was waiting for the answer of the two with anger. After a period of silence, Huan Yehe came to realize that she couldn't rely on Sheng Shuihe to solve this!The young Princess glanced at Sheng Shuihe with regrets and hatred. She then said resolutely, "We love each other and will stay with each other for a lifelong time!"At the same time, Sheng Shuihe also explained, "I don't know what Princess means. There must be some misunderstanding!"Huan Yehe was speechless.And so was Sheng Shuihe."..." Sheng Weiqiao's face was pale. Taking a deep br
"It's because Rong Qingzui resides at the Zhao Family House that I am so sure of it. Don't forget that the exam officer this year is Zhao Qiu from the Zhao Family!" Sheng Shuihe said in a flat tone, "Since I am going to sit the Spring Exam, visiting the exam officer before the exam is improper. But visiting Zhao Qiu after the exam is only natural, for the students are supposed to call on the exam officer for guidance. Hence, I will have a very good reason to go to the Zhao Family House, and then I can easily take down Rong Qingzui."Huan Yehe's eyes flashed and she said, "So, you will not admit it.""Admit what?" Sheng Shuihe gave her a cold look."I told you when we first met in Bishui County." Huan Yehe cast a look at Sheng Weiqiao who was listening to their conversation attentively and said, "I was at that time quite suspicious since you denied so quickly without a little curiosity! My suspicion was confirmed when I saw the way Princess Qing
Actually, Sheng Shuihe was also not familiar with Sheng Weiqiao's education before. After all, he came to Sheng Family only two years ago, and he started to prepare for the imperial examination immediately. At that time, apart from his study, he also had to take care of the affairs of Daimao Island from time to time, as well as the plan in Chang'an. What was more, he only took Sheng Weiqiao as his sister back then, so he would not know her well enough.After Huan Yehe's quiz, he also thought that Sheng Weiqiao's knowledge was so poor that she was nothing like a daughter of a metropolitan graduate!However, Jing Shu Princess was present, and Sheng Weiqiao was about to cry, so he could only hide his speechlessness and mediate between them, "As a girl, she doesn't need to prepare for the imperial examination, so we didn't have much expectation for her education."Huan Yehe frowned in disagreement, "Even though she won't take the examination, Miss
