Chapter 109: Girls' School Lesson 1
Shen Xingxi couldn't help laughing, "Actually, Mr. Shen is also me. I love myself the most. Is that okay?"
The noble concubine glared at Shen Xingxi and said, "I think you just want to make fun of me."
Then she realized what was happening, her eyes widened even more, "That wicked Mr. Shen turned out to be you?"
The smile on Shen Xingxi's face froze, and past events emerged in his mind.
When the prince went out of the palace for fun, one of his playmates was Young Master Xin San.
When she came up with the idea of blowing up the toilet, both of them were extremely surprised.
One day, the prince could not wait to try and invited her and Young Master Xin San to watch the magnificent scene.
Then Young Master Xin discovered that the toilet that the prince wanted to blow up was located in the mansion that was a neighbor of the Xin family.
He just watched as his home was filled with gold and wealth.
Thinking of the fact that he had told his grandfather about this before he left, his face turned pale.
His grandfather had just warned him that the prince could do whatever he wanted and that he had to stop him when necessary, and his family suffered.
Later, for some reason, Xin's grandfather dressed up as a beggar and blocked Shen Xingxi's way with a cane.
He shook the iron fist in his hand and recited the lines, "Please give me some food."
Shen Xingxi's face was not moved at all. "If you sell your crutch, you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Xin's grandfather remained calm and said, "Please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for three days. If you don't give me anything, I will starve to death."
Seeing that he was being kidnapped by morality, Shen Xingxi immediately threw away morality: "Old man, let me teach you a trick. Use your broken leg as bait to attract mice. I guarantee there will be enough mice. If you are worried about not having food in the future, you can cut off some of your flesh to attract mice."
Her method made Xin's grandfather's eyes widen, and he said with trembling lips that she was immoral and for not helping someone in need.
So Shen Xingxi helped Xin's grandfather to take his walking stick to the pawn shop to pawn it, and took him to a group of real beggars and said, "The old man is so kind-hearted, now that he has made a fortune, he won't forget you brothers, right?
Why don't you give them some of the money? After all, they haven't eaten for three days."
Seeing that the old man of the Xin family was silent, she continued: "By the way, learn a little bit, this is a real beggar, who knows how to be humble.
It's just that I may be really bad. These people have hands and feet, and they can make money without begging. They have no intention of giving alms. Just like the old man, even if it is not conducive to walking, the calluses on his hands still show that he can kill a cow with one punch. "
She opened her folding fan and waved it gently, looking carefree and unrestrained. "Old man, if you can't survive, go find a job demolishing houses. Others use hammers, but you are better than them with your bare hands."
She waved her hand, "Let's go! I wish the old man had many children and grandchildren, but he still has to worry about his children. But there is no such thing as having both in this world. If the pillar of the family falls, the family will fall apart. Only by living can there be hope!"
Thinking about it now, she didn't know why she said those words at the time. She could only say that she was somewhat moved when she heard the news that the second young master of the Xin family volunteered to replace the eldest young master of the Xin family who died in battle and go to the border.
The noble concubine poured a cup of tea for Shen Xingxi. "My third brother told me that grandpa kept talking about you at home, but when my third brother tried to please grandpa and praise you, grandpa said you were immoral. When my third brother agreed with grandpa and said you were immoral, grandpa scolded him. I'm really curious about what happened between you and grandpa."
Shen Xingxi smiled faintly, "I ridiculed him a few times at the beginning."
"No wonder my grandfather couldn't save face by inviting you into his house for tea. He just thinks about you every day." The noble concubine suddenly realized.
She held the teacup in both hands and placed it in front of Shen Xingxi, "But I still owe you a thank you. My eldest brother died and my second brother went to the battlefield, which made my grandfather depressed all day. Your suggestion made the Xin Mansion stink, and my grandfather finally got some energy and wanted to settle the score with you.
My second sister-in-law told me that my grandfather's face was as black as the bottom of a pot that day, but the Xin Mansion is back on the right track. We, the Xin family, have always owed you a thank you, but now that you have become the prince's counselor, it is not easy to get close to you. You also know that the children of the Xin family can mess around with the prince, but they cannot involve the court."
Shen Xingxi took the teacup and said, "In my opinion, everyone who contributes to the country, no matter how big or small their contribution is, deserves respect and help.
Especially those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country. They are not only the backbone of the country, but also the heroes of the times.
But since you have thanked me, I would feel uneasy if I did not drink this cup of tea. So, I will drink this cup of tea."
She finished her tea and poured a cup for Noble Concubine, "Then Noble Concubine, can you give me a chance to use tea instead of wine to toast the hero's family?"
The noble concubine took the teacup, and her eyes were misty.
The title of "hero's family" is so warm, it warms the heart.
She didn't want to let the tears fall, so she smiled and changed the subject, "Things are different now, I wonder if you can come to the Xin family for a cup of tea when you are free?"
Shen Xingxi shook her head. "I won't cause any more trouble for the Xin family. The Prime Minister is almost showing his fear of me."
The noble concubine nodded and did not force it. Anyway, the Xin family would help if they could.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange, she started to gossip again, "So can you tell me about you and Mr. Yun? Does he know that you are Mr. Shen? Did he fall in love with you when you were dressed as a man?"
"How do you know he likes me?" Shen Xingxi raised her eyebrows. She and the emperor had never been intimate in public, right?
"Then why do you think those people are so eager to pull you down from the throne?" The noble concubine said the news she had received, "There are rumors privately that the emperor is willing to give up the three palaces and six courtyards for you and love you alone."
Shen Xingxi's eyes flickered and she stood up: "Thank you for telling me, Concubine Dowager. I'll leave the rest of the Women's College to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The noble concubine nodded and watched the queen leave, then she realized that not only had she taken the blame on herself, but she had also not heard the story between Mr. Shen and Mr. Yun!
She snorted in anger. No wonder her grandfather got so angry when he heard the name Mr. Shen. He was so cunning and treacherous!
Shen Xingxi said she had something to do but just didn't want to answer the noble concubine's question. She couldn't say that the first time they were intimate was because the prince drugged her, right?
As for the Prime Minister, he could clean it up later when he had time. She should prepare for class now.
Time flies in the blink of an eye, and the first class of the women's college has begun!
Shen Xingxi disguised herself as Nanny Yan and arrived at the classroom a quarter of an hour early.
The lecture hall is the largest classroom in the women's college, equivalent to a modern lecture hall.
Shen Xingxi stood on the podium, listening to the conversations, complaints and discussions of the ladies.
"Really? Just open a girls' school! And you still require them to enroll and live in the academy. I can't live in this crappy environment for even a day."
"I'm so annoyed. I never get up this early at home. I'm so sleepy."
"Miss Luo hasn't arrived yet? Isn't she going to give Mr. Yan a surprise? I'm waiting to see the fun!"
"Since she's going to give me a surprise, how could she possibly be on time? But now that you mentioned her, I'm really looking forward to it."
