The Lady of the Red Chamber

Yuxiu Academy is the largest girls' academy in the Daqing Dynasty, founded by Xingyun Liang, the founding empress of Shengwu.

This strange woman who came out of the flames of war, together with Tai Zu, turned against the tyranny of the previous dynasty under the tyranny of the people, and jointly founded today's Daqing.And after Taizu Beng passed away, he proclaimed the rule of the dynasty, and propped up the precarious new dynasty with his own strength.

Throughout the life of the empress, she held imperial examinations, promoted women's schools, lightened taxation, and encouraged agriculture and mulberry; during the reign of the Liang family, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country was prosperous and peaceful;

In the winter of the 13th year of Xuanwen, Empress Shengwu, who had gone through four dynasties, passed away. Her posthumous posthumous title was as long as 28 characters, and she was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the emperor's ceremony, which is unprecedented in history.

It was three months after the emperor's dismissal, all the people fell to their knees and cried, cigarette ash and paper money covered the sky and the sun, and the people in remote villages trekked and cried out in pain.The folks even spontaneously built the Holy Martial Ancestral Hall, with golden bodies and jade sculptures, wishing that the people of the future will live forever to mourn and worship this magnificent and meritorious founding queen.

Now decades of vicissitudes and changes.Yuxiu Academy has faded away from its once simple nature, and faded away from Empress Shengwu's original intention of promoting women's education in the country, and gradually became a symbol of glory for the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital.

However, Yuxiu College, as the top female school in the world, still has an irreplaceable significance.In the Xingyun Pavilion of the academy, there is still a portrait of Empress Shengwu hanging high, for future generations of students to pay homage to the empress's holy face.

In order to show respect to Empress Shengwu, no matter the royal princess or the noble daughter of the clan, they must get off at the street corner and walk to the gate of the academy on foot.

On the stone wall outside the academy, there are also engraved admonitions written by Empress Shengwu herself. The pen is like a dragon and snake, majestic and majestic, and each stroke contains the empress' earnest teachings to future generations of students.

Yun Qingxuan stood at the gate of Yuxiu Academy, with her hands bent over her browbones, looking up at the plaque hanging above the academy through the setting sun, she murmured: "This is the real Mary Sue." The life of the great heroine."

Standing beside Yun Qingxuan, Lin Daiyu took a deep breath, closed her eyes and bathed in the sky above her head.Hearing Yun Qingxuan's muttering, Daiyu turned her head curiously and asked, "Huanhuai, what are you talking about, what master?"

Yun Qing slowly put down her hand and said with a smile: "Nothing? Cousin, let's go in."

Yuxiu College is very large.Because it was still early, Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu walked side by side in the academy, carefully observing the scenery of the academy.

Yun Qing slowly looked around at the noble lady who was dressed in brocade robes, gold and silver bead hairpins on her head, well-mannered, and half-covered with her round fan, and said with emotion: "Empress Shengwu is really far-sighted."

Lin Daiyu looked at Yun Qingxuan, held up a white jade long-handled gauze fan to cover half of her face and said with a smile: "How do you say?"

"Back then, the imperial concubine issued Feng Yu, and there was no distinction between high and low in the academy. All students, regardless of their status, were treated equally wherever the academy was located. But even so, the empress still opened two academies, Yuxiu and Zhongling, and Yuxiu academies only accepted imperial princesses. And noble daughters, Zhong Ling Academy accepts the daughters of minor officials and civilian daughters. This avoids bullying and comparisons from the source. Those women who are not well-known do not have to worry about retaliation and exclusion for offending noble daughters. Shengwu How can your empress be so far-sighted and comprehensive?"

Lin Daiyu lowered her head, and looked at Yun Qingxuan again, with narrow eyes that couldn't be concealed: "You talk a lot, and you say words that others don't understand when you see them all day long. But I can barely understand the bullying you said. I understand. What I said is also true, if a poor family woman accidentally offends... then it is really a crime."

The two sisters were joking and laughing at each other.At this time, a woman as proud as a peacock came from a distance.

The woman is about 13 years old, wearing a long red dress, a hibiscus nobile on her head, a gilt round fan in her hand, and a red gold jade belt hanging from her waist.Bright and flamboyant, like a ball of fire.

The woman saw Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu, walked over slowly, looked down at the two little girls in front of her, smiled condescendingly and said: "Yun Qingxuan, you have come to Yuxiu Academy to study."

When Yun Qinghuan saw the woman, a flash of obvious disgust flashed across his face, he stepped forward calmly and blocked Lin Daiyu behind him, and raised his chin towards the woman: "Mu Jinghuan, what do you mean by that? I can't come?"

Mu Jinghuan smiled indifferently, and didn't care about the disgust in Yun Qingxuan's words. He just raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not worried about you. It's just that you have an empty belly and no ink in your chest. I mean it." I'm afraid that you will make a fool of yourself in the academy and hurt the reputation of your Zhen Guohou's mansion."

"Mu Jinghuan——" Yun Qinghuo was furious after hearing Mu Jinghuan's unceremonious ridicule, her voice was so angry that she pointed at Mu Jinghuan's nose and said, "Say it again."

Mu Jinghuan cast his eyes at Yun Qingxuan contemptuously, then turned his head away, turning a deaf ear to Yun Qingxuan's angry question.

On the other hand, next to Mu Jinghuan, a girl in a goose yellow dress with a duck egg face covered her mouth and giggled: "Sister Mu, didn't you speak clearly enough? Yun Qingxuan, could it be that you like to humiliate yourself so much?"

Lin Daiyu frowned when she saw that the people on the opposite side were so unforgiving, and just about to step forward, she was pulled back slowly by Yun Qing.

Yun Qing slowly looked up at the girl and sneered: "Niu Wanxin, Mu Jinghuan mocked me for not being talented, I admit it. Who are you? When you were seven years old, you didn't even read a thousand-character prose, so you dare to laugh at me here? "

Niu Wanxin is the great-granddaughter of Zhenguo Gong Niu Qing's eldest son, and now the first-class Bo Niu Jizong's eldest daughter.She was raised by her family's stars since she was a child, and it is no exaggeration to say that she was pampered by thousands of people, so she has cultivated a temperament that is clean to the eye.

However, the emperor didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he gave the Yun family the title of Marquis of Zhen Guo, even though he had Duke Zhen.Originally, the title of Duke of Zhen Guo was higher than Marquis of Zhen Guo.It's a pity that the current Duke of Zhen Guo has been demoted to be an uncle, and he is instantly lower than the Yun family.So Niu Wanxin was always upset, comparing herself with Yun Qingxu all day long.

Seeing Mu Jinghuan taunting Yun Qingyou now, she was not to be outdone and acted as a vanguard, wanting to humiliate her.But I didn't expect to be robbed by Zhuo Yunqing for a while, and my face turned pale in an instant, wishing I could find a crack in the ground and get in.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, there was a clear and gentle voice from the corridor next to it, with a smile in it, blowing like a soothing wind, calming everyone's inner restlessness: "What's wrong? As a student of the academy, such a sword is at stake, but it violates the teachings of Empress Shengwu."

When Mu Jinghuan heard the voice, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he turned around and saluted the visitor: "Senior Sister Liang."

The noble ladies behind Mu Jinghuan also saluted and said hello, with respectful attitudes and respectful words.Obviously, this woman has a very high status in the academy.

Yun Qing slowly looked up, looked at the woman walking by the corridor, took a slight breath, and leaned forward involuntarily.

The woman called "Senior Sister Liang" only wore the most ordinary plain white clothes, with a clear smile on her lips.The wind-like eyes are full of bright and soft, and the poetic eyebrows are full of words and ink.

The high-cut black hair is piled up like a cloud, and a moist and transparent suet hibiscus is inserted obliquely on it.The only bright color on her whole body was the agate pendant hanging around her waist. The light red color was bright and bright with the woman's walking, but it couldn't hide her gentle and reserved body, her quiet and leisurely demeanor.

This is a woman so beautiful that no one dares to blaspheme.Coming across the yellowed scrolls, with a frown and a smile, the wind moves the flowers to shame.

Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu didn't know the person, but seeing that Mu Jinghuan respected her so much, plus the surname Liang, they were blessed to their hearts, and they saluted together: "Senior Sister Liang, hello."

Liang Yiheng smiled and raised his hand slightly: "You are the new students this year, right?"

He turned his head to look at Mu Jinghuan again, and said softly, "Junior Sister Mu, the entrance ceremony of Xingyun Pavilion is about to begin. Why don't you and the younger sisters go to help the teachers with the arrangement first, instead, you are here with the new junior sisters. Bickering, it's a bit inappropriate."

Mu Jinghuan bit his lip, a look of jealousy flashed across his face, but he still lowered his head and said: "What the senior sister taught me is that I will retreat first."

After finishing speaking, he took Niu Wanxin and a few noble girls who were fawning on her and walked away together, without even giving Yun Qingxuan a hand in their eyes.

Liang Yiheng looked at the backs of Mu Jinghuan and the others, sighed helplessly, stepped forward and stood in front of Yun Qinghuan and Lin Daiyu, looked at the two little girls in front of him, and asked with some affection: "Are you all right?"

Yun Qing slowly shook her head: "The relationship between Mu Jinghuan and I has already been formed, and it is expected that she would come to trouble me. It is my cousin..."

Yun Qing slowly turned to look at Lin Daiyu, took Daiyu's hand and asked, "Aren't you scared?"

Daiyu shook her head together: At any rate, after several months of teaching from Mrs. Fengguo, she is not so fragile.

Liang Yiheng looked at the two weak and sensible little girls in front of him, and the love in his heart was almost overflowing. He bent down and rubbed the tops of the sisters' heads: "You and sister Mu are in the same academy, and meeting is inevitable. But if Junior Sister Mu really did something outrageous, you all came to Liushui Pavilion to find me. I am not talented, and among the students in the academy, I am still a bit thin-skinned."

Yun Qing nodded obediently, this is a golden thigh, it must be hugged well.

Liang Yiheng told the two of them a few more words, and then left first on the grounds that he was involved in important matters.

Yun Qing slowly stared at Liang Yiheng's back until it disappeared, and then excitedly said to Lin Daiyu: "Cousin, this is the eldest lady of the Liang family, the elder sister in charge of Yuxiu Academy. If we can make friends with her, we will be in the future In the academy, even Princess Jiatai doesn’t have to be afraid.”

Lin Daiyu looked at Liang Yiheng, as if she didn't hear Yun Qingxuan's words, her hand holding the fan didn't move, and she didn't realize that she was infatuated: "It's like cutting like cutting, like cutting like grinding, like gold like tin, like gui like jade. Mrs. Feng Guo once told me that among the many women in the world today, only the Yiheng of the Liang family is outstanding in learning, beautiful and intelligent, worthy of the reputation of elegance and elegance. .”

Yun Qingxuan looked at Daiyu's infatuated appearance, rolled her eyes, and patted Daiyu's forehead: "Cousin, since you like Senior Sister Liang so much, we will go to Liushui Pavilion and Senior Sister to ask for advice on poetry, you What do you think? The senior sister just said that we should go find her more often."

Daiyu obviously liked Yun Qingxuan's proposal very much, her eyes were bent: "I just hope that senior sister doesn't think I'm bothering you."

The appearance of Mu Jinghuan did not affect Yun Qingxuan too much. Miss Yun said: If you put too much emphasis on Mu Jinghuan and make yourself uncomfortable, then should she still live?

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, was a little worried. She frowned at her slender willow eyebrows, and bit her lips: "Slowly, Princess Mu was born in Dongping County's palace after all, and the second sister..."

No matter how ignorant Daiyu is, she also knows that the four princes and eight princes are one.Now that all the sisters of the Jia family are going to study in Yuxiu Academy, Princess Mu obviously doesn't like Slow, how can she know that she will not use the banner of old relatives to pull the young ladies from the four kings and eight princes to isolate Slow together.

Yun Qingxuan knew Daiyu's thoughts all along, so he patted her on the shoulder and said: "Cousin, you are worrying too much. Sister Yingchun is no longer a temperament that can be manipulated by others. If Mu Jinghuan wants to use four princes and eight princes to come To suppress me, I also need to see if Sister Yingchun is really willing to put herself in this dilemma. What's more, Yuxiu Academy is the place where the Empress of Sage Martial Phoenix dives, and no matter what Mu Jinghuan can't surpass Senior Sister Liang. .”

Lin Daiyu would be chaotic if she cared. She was happy to see Xu Ran and Yingchun have a good relationship, and she didn't want them to be separated because of this.Now being mentioned by Yun Qingxuan, after figuring out all the key points, he suddenly realized that he tapped Yun Qingxuan's forehead: "That's true, but I'm just thinking about it."

The two walked around the academy again, recognized the way, saw that the time was almost up, and rushed towards Xingyun Pavilion.

Many noble ladies had already gathered in front of the Xingyun Pavilion.

Before Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu approached, they saw a large group of people gathered in front of them from a distance, and they didn't know what they were watching.

The two walked over curiously, and were about to see what was going on, when they heard a scolding voice from ahead: "You are so brave, you dare to block the way of the princess."

Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu looked at each other: It's not that the enemies didn't get together, but the Princess of Jiatai, Situ Xinyan, came again.

really.

After being surrounded by a crowd of people, Princess Jiatai, surrounded by a group of noble girls, pointed to a woman in ordinary clothes in front of her, and said arrogantly to a group of fans: "When will Yuxiu Academy even allow such cats and dogs to come in? "

A noble lady stepped forward with a bit of embarrassment, and whispered in Princess Jiatai's ear: "Princess, this is Princess Wylan's cousin, and she is also the entrance attendant of Her Highness the Princess."

Princess Jiatai raised her eyebrows: "Princess Huailan, am I afraid of her?"

Princess Huailan's mother and concubine are just a small court lady, and she was lucky enough to give birth to a princess once she was favored.Even so, Emperor Mingxi only conferred one of his nobles, and then left his mother and daughter behind in the desolation of the harem.

Princess Jiatai is the granddaughter of Concubine Zhen, the most favored princess of the royal family.Even though Princess Wylan was older than her, she never put this aunt in her eyes.

Princess Wylan had already found her at this time.Seeing his cousin wiping her tears with her head down, and Princess Jiatai's arrogant look on the other side, she was so angry that her hands were shaking.

Stepping forward to stand beside her cousin, Princess Huailan looked at Princess Jiatai, her weak voice trembling faintly: "Jiatai, you are going too far."

Princess Jiatai saw Princess Huailan, even if she didn't want to, she still saluted: "Aunt Huailan is well."

Then he straightened up and looked arrogantly at Princess Huailan: "I don't understand what Aunt Huailan said. She is just a little girl who was lucky enough to be my aunt's school attendant, but she violated the authority of this county. Master. This princess is just teaching me a few words, she is just grateful, why bother my aunt to help her."

Yingchun did not know when she had arrived at Yun Qingxuan's side, and was watching this farce with Daiyu.Hearing these words at this time, it can be said that he was dumbfounded: "This... Sister Qingxu, Your Royal Highness, this is also..."

It's too ostentatious.

Yun Qing sighed slowly: "Why do you think? Because she is a lucky star."
