Chapter 217: Song Shanzhang finally got what he wanted
As Han Qingyun, Ye Jianan and others were men, it was inconvenient for them to enter the backyard, so they were taken to the guest room by the housekeeper of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Princess Qing brought Lu Yanyan and Han Huaixi into the backyard.
In Prince Qing's backyard, there were only Princess Shen and two concubines, Wang and Zeng.
In terms of offspring, there was only one Li Chonglin and Wang's daughter Li Yao.
Li Yao is fifteen years old this year and has just reached the age of marriage. She is a very lively girl.
When Li Yao saw Han Huaixi and Lu Yanyan, her eyes lit up.
"Mother, this lady is so beautiful. And this sister is so pretty."
Princess Shen had a very good relationship with this concubine's daughter and tapped her forehead gently.
"There are no rules. Don't scare the guests."
"Princess, you're joking. The princess is lively and cute, how could she scare us?"
When the prince's descendants reach a certain age, they can request to be granted the title of Princess or Prince.
When Li Jiren was just born, he was given a name by Emperor Huiren and was also named the crown prince.
Li Yao was the only daughter of Prince Qing's Mansion for a long time and was very favored.
Later, Princess Shen became pregnant and was worried that Li Yao would feel neglected, so she asked Prince Qing to confer the title of Princess on her.
On the contrary, Li Jixin, according to the rules, could be granted the title of Prince as soon as he turned twelve.
But that year, Prince Lin was seriously injured, then Emperor Huiren died, and Emperor Zhaowen ascended the throne.
Therefore, Li Jixin is still called the second young master.
After Princess Shen introduced the women of Prince Qing's Mansion to Lu Yanyan, she sent everyone else away, leaving only Li Yao and an old nanny.
Princess Shen asked Li Yao to accompany Han Huaixi to eat some cakes, and she took Lu Yanyan aside to talk.
"I heard that Madam Han's four children are all very intelligent. Your eldest daughter just turned seven and was admitted to Ziwei Academy."
"They are indeed slightly smarter than the average child."
Princess Shen's eyes sparkled.
"So, Miss Han really got admitted to Ziwei Academy at the age of seven?"
Lu Yanyan nodded.
Princess Shen felt envious again.
Princess Shen's maiden name means that she started taking entrance exams for Ziwei Academy at the age of seven, but failed after three years of taking the exams.
Her father, Shen Yuliang, was a student of Song Mingzhi's father. He used his connections to get Shen Zhiyi an auditor in that class.
Shen Zhiyi was a strong-willed person, and two years later he was finally admitted to Ziwei Academy.
Her classmates were the most outstanding class that Song Mingzhi mentioned.
When Shen Zhiyi said this, even though more than 20 years had passed, he still felt very emotional.
Her family had a special relationship with the Song family, and her father often took her and her brother to the Song family.
She knew Song Mingzhi when she was very young.
Although Song Mingzhi did not marry and have children, she was born with the kindness of a teacher.
She once told Shen Zhiyi to study hard and get into Ziwei Academy in the future.
Shen Zhiyi has been working hard to fulfill the promise she made to Song Mingzhi when she was young.
At that time, Song Mingzhi was less than 30 years old, but she was already a world-famous talented woman.
The existence of Ziwei Academy has always been the focus of both praise and criticism.
Most people are proud that the women in their family can study at Ziwei Academy.
But there are also some old stubborn people who want to ban such women's colleges.
Thirty years ago, the then-Principal Lu of Ziwei Academy got into a disgraceful situation.
The diehards, led by Duke Chengguo and the Minister of Rites, joined forces with a group of censors to advise the closure of Ziwei Academy.
Empress Dowager Tian and Concubine Qi spent a lot of effort to save Ziwei Academy.
Even though they were criticized for interfering in government affairs, the two of them strongly recommended Song Mingzhi to take over as the new principal of Ziwei Academy.
After becoming the principal, Song Mingzhi, despite the pressure, signed up for the college competition that year.
She wanted to prove to the world that even though women could not take the imperial examinations, their talents were no less than men's.
Unfortunately, Ziwei Academy suffered a crushing defeat that year.
Song Mingzhi was not discouraged and continued to sign up three years later.
Although the results are still not good, they are much better than last time.
It was not until Shen Zhiyi's class that outstanding women like Xie Shan and Ruan Xinyu emerged.
Besides the two of them, there are several other good women.
At that time, Xie Shan and Ruan Xinyu, who were only twelve or thirteen years old, were already well-known talented women in Los Angeles.
Almost all the teachers in Ziwei Academy believed that the two would definitely be able to win a place in the competition.
Even Song Mingzhi had high expectations for the two of them.
Unfortunately, Xie Shan’s chess skills were not very good and her luck was not good either. Among her opponents in the five games, three were talented people who were famous for their chess skills.
Xie Shan only scored eight points in the chess competition.
Ruan Xinyu has been weak since childhood and lacks wrist strength.
In order to write every word well, she wrote a little slower.
The calligraphy competition requires students to copy the same article and compare them, and the time limit is one hour.
Ruan Xinyu finished copying before she finished and also got a low score.
That year, both finished just one or two points out of tenth place.
Three years later, Xie Shan was only half a point away from the tenth place, but Ruan Xinyu did not participate in that competition due to illness.
Each student has only two chances to participate in the competition.
Xie Shan no longer had any chance, so Song Mingzhi and the teacher of the academy placed all their hopes on Ruan Xinyu.
When Shen Zhiyi said this, his expression of sadness grew deeper.
"Ruan Xinyu was ill for a whole year. When we went to visit her, she was so ill that we couldn't see her.
Not long after she recovered from her illness, she was married to the third prince and never returned to the academy.
That same year, I was also betrothed to Prince Qing, Zhao Li was betrothed to the prince of Xianguo, and Ruoxue married the grandson of the Marquis of Yong'an...
The most outstanding class of students at Ziwei Academy disappeared into their own lives.
Among the students after that, there were no more women as talented and brilliant as Asan and Ruan Xinyu.
Being able to win a place in the college competition has become the headmaster’s greatest obsession…”
Lu Yanyan was afraid of being misunderstood as showing off, so she didn't want to mention Han Huaiyu.
But seeing the sadness on Shen Zhiyi's face, she couldn't help but say, "Shanzhang Song, now you have finally got what you wanted."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lu Yanyan meant.
"You mean this year's competition, Ziwei Academy..."
Shen Zhiyi covered his mouth, his voice choked with sobs.
Seeing that Lu Yanyan's face was slightly red, Shen Zhiyi had a guess in her mind, but she didn't dare to believe it.
How is that possible? How old is that girl?
"Is it... Miss Han?"
Lu Yanyan nodded embarrassedly again. Her daughter was so outstanding that it was unbelievable. She was afraid that people would accuse her of bragging if she said it out loud.
"Oh my God, she's not even eight years old yet..."
Shen Zhiyi grabbed Lu Yanyan's hand and couldn't hold back his tears.
Song Shan was older than her, like a teacher and a mother to her.
Even though she had very few opportunities to meet the headmaster after she got married, she always kept Headmaster Song's wishes in mind.
Now that the headmaster’s long-cherished wish has come true, she is very happy.
Shen Zhiyi took Lu Yanyan's hand and started talking about her childhood.
Lu Yanyan could tell that Shen Zhiyi had admired Ruan Xinyu very much in the past.
But maybe it’s because of his different position now, Shen Zhiyi seems to be very disdainful of the current queen Ruan Xinyu.
When mentioning her, people would neither call her "Xinyu" affectionately nor "Queen", but only "Ruan Xinyu", as if they were talking about a stranger.
Shen Zhiyi probably hadn't thought about his youth for many years, and he said a lot of incoherent things.
She also mentioned the rumor that Ruan Xinyu was the "Phoenix Girl of Destiny", but this rumor was deliberately suppressed by the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
An idea flashed through Lu Yanyan's mind, and she wanted to catch it but failed.
She intuitively felt that this was a key piece of information, but when she thought about it again, she could no longer remember what it was...
