Chapter 752 How do we know if it is a mutual regret?

Chapter 752 How do we know if it is a mutual regret?

The weather is clear and the air is fresh.

In the Minglun Hall of the Imperial Women's Academy, the sunlight shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke.

Xiao Chen stood in front of the portrait of the Great Sage Teacher. The students in the hall were silent and listened attentively to his instructions.

"Today, the emperor is a wise ruler in power. No matter men or women, everyone can go to school and become an official. Those of you who can sit here will also be able to stand in the court in the future and contribute your own efforts to the country!

Today, I will only say three things. First, I hope that all students will be honest in their studies and not copy popular articles as homework or plagiarize other people's annotations to show off. This is deceiving yourself and others.

Secondly, it is important to be cautious in self-cultivation. When entering and leaving the Imperial Girls' School, the clothes and seals worn are all granted by the court. Grace, honor and disgrace depend on one person. Etiquette and laws are like a knife for carving jade. They are not meant to be a constraint, but a means of achievement!

Third, I hope that all the students will set high aspirations and take passing the imperial examination as their ultimate goal. Do not limit your horizons to the small space in your backyard, do not limit your horizons to the Four Books, and do not let down the millions of volumes in the library. "

Thunderous applause broke out in Minglun Hall.

Xie Ying sat in the middle, watching Xiao Chen teach slowly and patiently, as gentle as before. The immortal air in him was tinged with some worldly air.

Thunderous applause brought her back from her daze, and then Zhang Siye and Wen Jiancheng gave speeches one by one.

Tao Wenjun was right next to Xie Ying. When she saw the look in her eyes when she looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen, she suddenly understood in her heart. No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue came to her that day and even hoped that she could help Miss Xie more and even bring Xie Ying and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen together.

This is clearly the intention of the goddess, but King Xiang——

She looked at Xiao Chen. That man was like a banished immortal. Even with a bit of earthly air, he was a daunting presence.

"Sister..."

Xie Jiaojiao pushed Xie Ying.

Xie Ying responded with a smile and looked back at Xie Jiaojiao, "What?"

"Sister, I don't think you can learn this knowledge."

Of course Xie Ying knew what Xie Jiaojiao meant.

She did lose control of herself a little just now.

Before this, she might have been able to deceive herself, but now, thinking about seeing Xiao Chen every day in the future, her heart was beating like a deer -

The excitement is beyond words.

Even when she thought about breaking off the engagement with Qing Chang'an as soon as possible, she felt a little distressed when she thought of Qing Chang'an's love for her that was misplaced.

Didn't she also feel emotions that she shouldn't have?

Xie Ying was not in a good mood that day. Even during lunch time, she was confused.

"Thank you, sister."

Hearing someone calling, Xie Ying turned her head and saw that it was Tao Wenjun, who was the first place in the Jinzhou exam. In her heart, she admired him very much.

"Hello, Sister Tao."

Tao Wenjun said, "I see something is wrong with you today, but do you have any doubts?"

Xie Ying looked around and then he remembered what Xie Jiaojiao said, that she went to find Song Yunxian to learn some of her articles, and was she really that obvious?

"I'm fine."

"Perhaps it's a little abrupt," Tao Wenjun looked at her, and seeing that she was not particularly disgusted, he continued, "A few days ago, His Royal Highness the King of Yue came to see me."

Xie Ying still didn’t understand. Xiao Zhenzhen had looked for Tao Wenjun. Was it related to her?

Tao Wenjun smiled and said, "Can we move to my room to talk? Or," she looked at the rockery pond in the academy, where the water was flowing and no one was around, so it would be more convenient to talk.

"Yeah." Xie Ying nodded slightly, and the two of them walked towards the rockery pond.

"Sister Tao, just say whatever you want to say." Xie Ying said with a smile. She didn't know why, but she always felt inexplicably excited about what Tao Wenjun was going to say, as if it was related to His Royal Highness Prince Chen.

Tao Wenjun told her about the day when Xiao Zhenzhen came to her and hoped that she could help His Royal Highness Prince Chen and bring them together.

Of course, she refused, thinking that Xie Ying and Qing Chang'an were already engaged, which was against public custom, and did not propose it.

Xie Ying blushed, "I..."

She was really ashamed.

Even if Tao Wenjun didn't say it, she was still tormented inside.

"But from what I've observed over the past two days, I feel that Miss Xie doesn't seem to have much affection for Lord Qing."

Xie Ying opened his mouth but said nothing, which meant he agreed.

Tao Wenjun continued: "Ms. Xie, have you ever thought about breaking off the engagement if you don't have any feelings of love?"

"I thought about it."

She said it without hesitation.

"Is it because of His Royal Highness Prince Chen?" Tao Wenjun asked.

Xie Ying blushed, "No, it's not."

No?

As someone who has experienced this, how could Tao Wenjun not understand the reaction of a young girl when she is in love?

Thinking about how His Royal Highness Prince Chen had taken care of her all the way in Jinzhou, and what His Royal Highness Prince Chen had said today, all of them were efforts for the rise of women's equal rights. She thought that such a man was worthy of women's admiration and love.

Xie Ying's family background was good, and Xiao Zhenzhen said that they were meant to be together. If it didn't work out today, they could still be together tomorrow.

The peach blossoms are still there, but people are no longer the same as they were before.

Just like her and Li Huili, when she ranked first in the exam in Jinzhou and was targeted and Chang Weihao made a big fuss about it, she suddenly understood why Li Huili was so determined to give her a letter of divorce.

On the one hand, she felt remorseful and sorry for her parents and her late husband, but on the other hand, she was glad that Li Huili's divorce letter had saved Wen'er's life.

She told Xie Ying her story as if she was telling a story. "I heard that Rong Jianzheng has never done anything wrong. If he said that you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen are destined to be together, then you are destined to be together. However, your carelessness about marriage today, how do you know if it will be a regret for both of you in the future?"

Xie Ying opened her mouth, "Sister Tao, you..."

Xie Ying understood this very well. On that day, Master Ding told her that her fate with Xiao Chen was her only fate.

She was afraid of falling in love with Xiao Chen——

What if I gave up early? Now I am tempted after just seeing him once.

If you make a hasty decision about your marriage today, will you regret it in the future?

She looked at Tao Wenjun, she didn't know whether Tao Wenjun regretted it now or not...

Li Huili and Qing Changan took the exam in the same year. Li Huili was the top scorer, while Qing Changan was the third place winner...

Tao Wenjun smiled slightly, "I won't advise you to break off the engagement, nor will I advise you to pursue the one you love. I'm just telling you about my past, maybe you can learn a thing or two from it."

"I'm telling you, I believe that Miss Xie, whom His Royal Highness the King of Yue values, will not tell anyone else about the grudge between me and Lord Li."

Xie Ying assured firmly, "I won't." She wouldn't tell Xie Jiaojiao even if she told her!

"Ah."

After thinking for a while, Xie Ying asked, "My father and mother traveled all over the country at the request of the emperor, persuading people from all over the country to send their daughters to school. I don't know when they will return to the capital." She looked at Tao Wenjun with a smile. After all, the other party told her such a deep secret. This trust is priceless. "I have already had the idea of ​​canceling the engagement, so I have repeatedly talked to Lord Qing about canceling the engagement. He repeatedly advised me to think twice."
