Mingzhu also noticed it, why did she come late?

It was because Ada had someone call her out and kept pestering her that she was late.

Fortunately, in the entire academy, except for the previous Dean Zhang Changzong, His Royal Highness Prince Chen and his Sword Master Jianwu who lived in the academy, the rest of the teachers were women.

certainly--

Now Zhang Changzong is gone, and Qing Changan has moved in.

Fortunately, Ada does not live here, otherwise, Ada might harass her often.

Qing Changan smiled slightly and said, "Then I don't have a lantern, can you give me a ride?"

Xie Ying: “…”

She looked at Mingzhu. Why did she feel like it was difficult to refuse?

Mingzhu pursed her lips. She was a maid, she knew nothing. Oh no, Ada was so excited just now that she had to be more discerning...

It's not that she is inconsiderate, but since the Eldest Lady and Lord Qing are impossible, she has to pretend to be inconsiderate.

Just at this time, Tao Wenjun came over, said nothing, and directly took Mingzhu away.

"Miss..." No, what does Tao Wenjun mean?

"Shui He is missing. Let's go look for her," Tao Wenjun said. Seeing Ming Zhu was stubborn, she whispered, "Shui He is missing. Second Miss Xie is so worried. Second Miss Xie is looking for you too."

Mingzhu: “…”

How does this sound like a hint? Was Tao Wenjun also bribed by Qing Changan and Ada?

Mingzhu didn't know, but this was the Imperial Women's Prison, and Lord Qing was not a vicious person.

At least his character should be trustworthy, at least in the National Women's Prison, he should be fine.

Mingzhu was no match for Tao Wenjun's strength. Seeing that she was about to be grabbed by Tao Wenjun, she had no choice but to desperately hand the lantern to Xie Ying, "Miss, I will go find Shuihe."

Xie Ying took it with both hands: "..."

"???"

What was Tao Wenjun doing? Not only did she not help, she also came to make trouble and even took Mingzhu away?

There was no one around, only students were walking towards the dormitory one after another in the distance.

Shuihe is gone.

Xie Jiaojiao is looking for Shuihe, and Tao Wenjun also took Mingzhu away?

Suddenly, Xie Ying heard Qing Chang'an's laughter. She turned her head and looked over. Qing Chang'an's eyes were very bright under the moonlight. He looked at her, "Can't you see it?"

"what?"

Qing Changan took a deep breath, looked at the beauty under the moon, like a crabapple with rouge shining through in the rain...

After the morning court today, the emperor summoned him to the imperial study. It was a warning, but also a chance for him.

"I know that you are still deeply in love with Miss Xie of the Duke's Mansion. I don't care whether Zhang Changzong recommended you as the director of the National Women's Supervisor because he admires you or has other private reasons, but I can give you a chance."

Qing Changan couldn't believe it.

"I thank your majesty for your trust."

"It's not trust, I'm asking you, have you given up?"

Qing Chang'an bit her lip. Who doesn't know that the Emperor is worried about Prince Chen's marriage?

Not only the Emperor, the Emperor Emeritus, and the Empress Dowager, everyone was worried about His Royal Highness the Prince.

In this situation, he likes Xie Ying, and the emperor has asked him to come, so how could he fulfill his wish...

But he doesn't give up!

Perhaps the emperor also saw it. The emperor said that if he was allowed to go to the academy, no matter whether Ah Ying chose Prince Chen or him in the future, the emperor would personally arrange the marriage. The only warning was -

"My dear, your family has been loyal for generations. We have had a loyal man like Qing An Ning before. Don't be the second one. Otherwise, even if your ancestors bless you, I will never let you off easily!"

This opportunity given by the emperor is rare.

But the heavy warning and beating also made his heart tremble.

A smart person doesn't need to explain too clearly. He knew the emperor's intention very well. Coming to the Imperial Women's Prison would allow him to meet Aying every day, giving him a fair chance to pursue Aying.

At the same time, as long as Xiao Chen has some feelings for Ah Ying, it is very likely to arouse the man's possessiveness and desire for love...

By that time, maybe Ah Ying wouldn't even need to pursue Xiao Chen, as a man's possessiveness would make him take the initiative.

In fact, he didn't have much chance of winning this bet.

The emperor said that as long as Aying is willing to marry someone, the emperor will arrange the marriage.

He would not give up such an opportunity.

Xie Ying watched Qing Chang'an walk towards the dormitory where the teachers lived, and had no choice but to follow him holding the lantern.

She could see Qing Chang'an slowing down his pace and waiting for her to catch up. In fact, the moon was very bright today, and even without a lantern, the road under her feet was very clear. She saw a faint smile on Qing Chang'an's lips.

With his hands behind his back, he looks happy and relaxed. This is the image of Qing Chang'an, the talented man that is well-known in the capital.

When they arrived at the dormitory, many students spotted Qing Chang'an and Xie Ying.

Some people are envious, some people - can't describe the feeling.

But they all swore on the day they entered the National Women's Prison that they would never, in their entire lives, pull down or step down on any girl who bravely took the first step and had friendly conversation with men.

Xie Ying is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

She had been engaged to Qing Chang'an, but then broke off the engagement. Even with such a relationship, they could still get along like friends. Her courage is admirable!

All the students in the National Women's Academy refused to accept the shame of breaking off an engagement or the shame of divorce.

When Qing Chang'an looked over, the students had all returned to their rooms.

Xie Ying handed the lantern to Qing Changan, "I'm here."

Qing Changan took it and said, "From now on, on every odd day, you can bring Mingzhu to Xinglinzhai, and I can teach you alone."

Just as Xie Ying was about to refuse, Qing Chang'an said, "I just laughed because you haven't understood that I suddenly came to the National Women's Prison to help you."

"help me?"

"Well, can the emperor not know how I feel about you?"

Xie Ying blushed, this matter was too embarrassing.

Of course the emperor knew about this, and he encouraged her and gave her two storybooks. The heroines in the stories had voices as sweet as orioles and eyes as charming as silk. None of them were ordinary.

"If you think about it carefully, you will understand. Remember to come and get your lantern." Qing Chang'an said this and left with the lantern.

Xie Ying stood there, stunned.

She had actually suspected it a long time ago, but it was just a suspicion. But now Qing Chang'an said it so bluntly, if she still didn't understand it, she would be a fool.

After all, the Emperor clearly knew about her affair with His Royal Highness Prince Chen, so logically he shouldn't have transferred Qing Chang'an to the Imperial Women's Prison.

But the fact is, the emperor transferred Qing Chang'an here.

If this is the case, Xiao Chen will still remain indifferent——

If he still remains indifferent, it only means that she is indeed not Xiao Chen's destiny, and that Lord Rong is wrong. It was she who fell in love with him unilaterally, and it was her doom.

Return to the dormitory.

Xie Jiaojiao, Mingzhu and Changhe were all in the room. Xie Ying didn't ask and Xie Jiaojiao didn't mention anything either. She just said that she felt good studying with her classmates today.

When the candle was extinguished, the room became dark.

Xie Ying lay in bed, unable to sleep.

A few days later, Xiao Chen came back and saw Qing Changan. If she went to Qing Changan to review her lessons again, what would be his reaction?
