Chapter 40 Enrollment

It was another flurry of greetings, greetings, and pleasantries.When everyone was seated, the bell rang outside.

Shen Qiang was so excited - as if she had been roasted on the fire.

Her face is red, her nose is red, and her eyes are red.Cough, Xiaodong remembers the same thing when he looked in the mirror after eating spicy barbecue by mistake.

Shen Qiang certainly didn't eat the barbecue by mistake.

She was excited because she saw Shen Fang.

Xiaodong turned to look at Shen Fang.

Shen Fang... She looks peaceful and natural, fair and beautiful, from head to toe, there is no abnormal color anywhere.

Isn't she excited to see Shen Qiang?
No, maybe she was excited too, but she had learned not to show it.

In the palace, no one can see what you are thinking at any time.

Otherwise, he must die very quickly.

For example, Xiaodong's grandmother, Empress Dowager Shengci.Indifference may not be her nature, otherwise Xiaodong would have doubted how her imperial grandfather fell in love with a cold woman and had two or three children with her—of course the Empress Dowager Shengci is a beautiful woman, but the other concubines in the palace are also beautiful. Not necessarily ugly.

Classes are not as scary as Xiaodong imagined.

In other words, it was not as difficult as what she experienced in her previous life.At that time, students had to take exams, and if they failed in the exams, they would be blamed or punished by both parents and teachers.However, the school attended by the daughters of princesses and princess officials does not require exams, and of course there is no pressure to advance to higher education, so if you learn well and learn badly, if the students don't pay attention to it, the teachers of course will not meddle in their own business.

So there is no pressure at all in this class.

Not only is there no pressure, but it is also very comfortable.

Xiaodong couldn't understand whether the others were chanting poems or fuss in unison, but the voices of the girls were clear and melodious, and the long sentences were as melodious as singing.

If this is always the case in class in the future, Xiaodong really doesn't hate class at all.

She moved her mouth while holding the book, but she didn't read aloud.

The words on that page, they didn't know her, and she didn't know them.

But Xiaodong thinks they are beautiful.

Each word has a beautiful shape, like a work of art.

Maybe if you don’t know the characters, you can fully appreciate the beauty of the characters, because you don’t need to reflect “ah, what should this character read” in your mind when you see the characters for the first time... Well, well, maybe She shouldn't be looking for any more excuses.

Illiteracy is not a good thing after all.

Xiaodong tries hard to identify, wanting to know where everyone else has read.

You may have read this page and moved on to the next.

Shen Qiang was sitting by the window, Xiaodong looked out the window and it was still raining non-stop, thinking that if he and Shen Qiang switched places... Well, maybe it would be more convenient for him to lose his mind that way.

But Xiaodong didn't use the peppermint ointment Zhao Lu gave her all morning.

There were two breaks in the middle, and Xiaodong was not idle at all.The fourth princess and the others took her away and introduced her to others.Many of those girls are surnamed Zhao, but the fourth princess's attitude towards them is not as close as she is to Xiaodong.After all—King An is the emperor's only biological younger brother, while the others are not so close to them.

Well, and the status of others is not far behind.Except for Xiaodong, only two women with the surname of Zhao have the title of princess, and the others are county masters, and then there are county lords and county lords. There are so many faces and names in chaos. Xiaodong found that she didn't remember any of them. live.

"It's piano class this afternoon." The sixth princess looked at Kongzi and said to Xiao Dong, "Have you brought your own piano?"

Xiaodong honestly shook his head.

"It's okay, there are many violins that no one uses here, just find one. Actually, I don't like to take piano lessons, so I try not to let myself doze off every time." The sixth princess complained: "And If we are not allowed to practice the song, we will practice fingering repeatedly until we become dizzy."

Xiaodong was also a little nervous.

I heard that the piano class was taught by Ou Lanying, and I also heard that she was very strict.

"Actually, I shouldn't have taken piano lessons in the first place... how good it is to play chess."

Xiaodong keenly grasped the meaning of her words, is the class optional?

"Ah, yes, I can choose... Master Zhu who teaches chess is very talkative. I really regret it. I should only choose chess at that time."

Xiaodong was puzzled: "Then...why did you choose piano lessons?"

The sixth princess turned her head to take a look, and then turned back: "The fourth and fifth sisters have all chosen."

So she followed suit.

Xiaodong didn't want to embarrass herself, she hesitated.

Do you want to choose?

I don't seem to be a very savvy person, nor a person with great perseverance.

If you can't play well, you will be in a dilemma, and regret it like the sixth princess is now, how bad it is.

But the sixth princess quickly said: "You are young and just started school, so follow along first, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it for a while."

Yes, young.

Being young is a good shield.

Xiao Dong, who is psychologically old, has to shrink herself into the body of a child with peace of mind, enjoying the happiness and privileges only a child can enjoy.

It can be confusing at times - but most of the time it's enjoyable.

At noon, the four princesses smiled and invited Xiaodong to have lunch together.Shen Qiang was so excited that she kept pulling her sleeves behind her, hoping that Xiaodong would agree.

Xiaodong understood her desire to have a good talk with Shen Fang, but she really couldn't agree.

"When I entered the palace early in the morning, I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager Shengde. A sister in the Changchun Palace told me to go there for lunch at noon. Should the fourth sister go too?"

As she expected, the fourth princess really said: "I won't go there. The Changchun Palace is always quiet, and if there are too many people going there, the empress dowager will be disturbed."

Although the Empress Dowager Shengci is the real grandmother, the four princesses are all closer to the Empress Dowager Shengde.

It doesn't matter if it's true or false, people in the palace have to learn current affairs even if they don't know anything.

The fourth princess smiled and said: "By the way, Shen Fang has been in the palace for so long, and she hasn't seen her family yet. It's just right, let's get together at noon, sisters, and have a good talk."

This was unexpected, Shen Qiang and Shen Fang hurriedly said: "Thank you, Fourth Princess."

"It's all from my own family, so there's no need to talk outsiders."

The rain still hasn't stopped, and the maids of Changchun Palace are waiting for Xiaodong outside with umbrellas, welcoming her to Changchun Palace attentively and carefully.

Coincidentally, Changchun Palace is not too far from Jiyutang, both are in the northeast direction of the palace.Jiyutang is closer to the palace gate, and Changchun Palace's location in the palace can be considered remote and deserted.I don't know if it's because of the lack of popularity, but the vegetation here is extremely lush, with patches of thick green and shade, making Changchun Palace even more deserted.

"The empress dowager got up early in the morning, and she can't sit still." The confidant maid next to the empress dowager said in a low voice: "I even cooked two dishes myself. Over the years, apart from the late emperor, you are the princess. The first person to have this blessing."

Xiaodong was startled: "The Queen Mother can still cook?"

"The empress dowager's female red culinary skills are not ordinary. In the past, the late emperor violated the dragon body several times, and our empress dowager served in front of him, decocting soup, delivering medicine, and taking care of the diet."
