The next day.

Xie Ying and Xie Jiaojiao packed up their belongings and went to the Imperial Women's Prison with their personal maids.

Qingning personally arranged a nice room for the two of them, so that the sisters could live in the same room without any conflicts.

"Thank you, godmother." Xie Jiaojiao thanked quietly.

Qingning said: "Just saying thank you seems insincere."

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Then tell me, godmother, what thank you gift do you want?"

Qingning thought seriously, and then said, "I will be happy if I get good grades in the autumn exam!"

"Don't worry, godmother. I will definitely try my best!" Xie Jiaojiao looked very confident.

"it is good."

When Duke Xie and his wife returned, the children all passed the examination and officially became Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren.

Each of these steps is the hope for the future of women in Cangyun Country.

Especially for someone like Tao Wenjun, if she passes the autumn examination, she will become a juren and can become an official.

If one passes the palace examination and is chosen by the emperor as the top scholar, second place, third place, or even a Jinshi, his future will be limitless.

In short, she was full of energy every day in the National Women's Prison, which had caused Zhou Yuqi to be slightly dissatisfied.

However, she had never been afraid. Zhou Yuqi was just saying it. After returning home, he treated her better than before.

What did Zhou Yuqi say?

He said that now that his wife had become an official, she was afraid that those shameless gigolos would covet her.

"Well, I won't bother you today. I still have to prepare. Tomorrow I will go to welcome the new person who will take over the position of Dean."

"A new Siye?"

Qingning nodded, "Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to be in good health. The emperor has approved his retirement and allowed him to return home. I just found out about this early in the morning."

Sir Zhang doesn't seem to be in poor health, does he?

"Hey, His Royal Highness Prince Chen has also taken leave, and he probably won't come to the academy for several days. I will be very busy these two days and won't have time to take care of you. The accommodation has been arranged. You are all familiar with the academy, so take care of yourselves."

"Yes, godmother, don't worry about us."

"it is good."

Qingning left after saying this.

Mingzhu looked at Shuihe and said, "Let's clean up the room and make the beds for the ladies."

"Ah."

Xie Ying and Xie Jiaojiao looked at each other and said nothing more. When the teacher arrived first, they would be punished.

After the two young ladies left, Shui He asked, "Sister Mingzhu, where are we going to sleep?"

Mingzhu looked around and saw that this room could actually accommodate four students. Because of Master Wen, no other students would be arranged to move in. She said, "Let's use those two beds first. If someone else moves in, we can sleep on the floor."

Shuihe nodded and hurriedly cleaned the room with Mingzhu.

After lunch break.

The National Women's Prison suddenly became lively.

"Mr. Tanhua Langqing has come to our academy to take over Mr. Zhang's position temporarily."

"Where?"

"Following Wen Jiancheng and Lord Zhang, they went in together..."

"Sir Qing? Qing Chang'an, is he the one who broke off the engagement with Aying?" Song Yunxian said.

"Yes, it is him, Lord Qing Chang'an. He is a handsome man. Even just a glance from afar will make you unforgettable."

"Tsk, you said before that Prince Yuan Qing Yu Jie is a peerless good man."

"The prince is pure and dignified, dignified and self-respecting, like a god. How can we mortals dream of being like him? But Lord Qing is different. Lord Qing has a good temper and good looks. He has even broken off an engagement. Who knows if we have a chance!"

"Don't be ashamed!"

"What's wrong? Men can sit together and talk about which young lady is talented, beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and good at managing the household. Why can't we talk about good men?"

"Could it be that they have really become stupid from studying so much that they really won't get married?"

"You want to get married, good man, who doesn't want to get married? If you don't get married, how can you give birth to a smart, talented, and beautiful woman like you?"

The students were laughing and joking.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at her elder sister who was pursing her lips and saying nothing, "Didn't Lord Qing tell you about this yesterday?"

Xie Ying shook his head, "No, maybe it was a last-minute decision by the Emperor."

"This is too sudden." They had just moved into the academy, and Qing Chang'an was also here. How often would they meet in the future...

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Sister, is he still not giving up?"

Xie Ying didn’t know.

Anyway, she has already made her feelings clear.

Qing Changan seemed to have accepted her fate, but also seemed not to. She saw that he was in poor health, so she didn't say too many hurtful words.

"But, what does the emperor mean? Doesn't the emperor hope that my sister..." Doesn't he hope that my sister and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen will be together?

Why did you arrange your love rival into the academy?

Xie Ying said: "The Queen has her own decision to do this. Lord Qing is very knowledgeable and was chosen by the Emperor. If he comes to the academy, all the students will benefit from it."

"Yes, his knowledge is real. At this critical moment, I must ask him for advice!"

As Xie Jiaojiao was speaking, she saw the other sisters heading towards the backyard, and she also wanted to go and see where Qing Changan lived.

Xie Ying wanted to call out to Xie Jiaojiao, but gave up in the end.

Tao Wenjun walked to Xie Ying's side, and after their eyes met, Tao Wenjun said, "The Emperor has really taken great pains for you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

Xie Ying was a little confused.

Seeing that no one was around, Tao Wenjun smiled and said, "You and Lord Qing have already broken off the engagement, but yesterday, I saw him come to see you again."

Xie Ying nodded.

"What did Lord Qing say?" Tao Wenjun knew that she was a little abrupt, but she also wanted to help this kind girl. Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Yue had asked her for help before he left. "I have no ill intentions."

"I know."

Xie Ying thought about it and then told Qing Chang'an what he had said yesterday.

Tao Wenjun said: "Lord Qing is really infatuated. He must be somewhat sincere towards you."

As he spoke, he observed Xie Ying's expression.

She was not secretly happy, but rather a little worried. It was obvious that Xie Ying did not like Qing Chang'an in her heart.

"Since Lord Qing has let it go, there's nothing wrong with being friends. Who knows if we'll be officials in the same court in the future?"

Xie Ying nodded, "I'm just afraid that he hasn't given up yet, and in the end--"

"You didn't promise him anything, and you also told him clearly that even if you don't have a lover in the future, you won't get married. He knows that."

"You like what you like, he likes what he likes, it doesn't matter."

Xie Ying opened her mouth and smiled, "Yeah."

Xie Jiaojiao followed the students and saw that Qing Chang'an's residence was arranged in Xinglinzhai, not far from the lotus pond. It was not far from Gezhizhai, and the two sides could even see each other's doors if they found a suitable angle.

Xie Jiaojiao bit her lip, OK, OK, now it’s going to be lively!

"Jiaojiao."

Xie Jiaojiao turned around and saw that it was Song Yunxian, "Sister Song."

Song Yunxian said, "Has your sister really broken off the engagement with Qing Chang'an? Will she regret it?" Her eyes were clear.
