Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1172

This stumped him.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's well written, with the arrogance of a scholar."

The other tutors' lips twitched; they dared not lie in front of the emperor.

The Grand Tutor is different; he can say a few things against his conscience.

The teachers lowered their heads and remained silent, as if to say, "Don't call on me to grade your papers."

Zhou Yan did not make things difficult for them and gave the exam papers to Murong Yu and Prince Rui.

Murong Yu said, "What does Prince Rui think? Qinghe has been in Prince Rui's residence for the past six months, so he must have learned this cursive script from you."

The emperor himself is teaching his daughter to write.

He's a prince who's so bored he's practically rolling in the air. He can't possibly say that he just eats, drinks, and has fun all the time and never cares about Princess Qinghe at all!

"Qinghe writes well in regular seal script, but he probably only learned cursive script today."

"To be able to write such characters on the first day is already quite good."

The Empress Dowager was no longer so angry. "Qinghe did indeed write in regular script before."

"Qinghe, why are you writing in cursive script today?"

Qinghe panicked. She couldn't write at all, and her handwriting was always crooked because she had to sit up straight when writing.

Many more pages need to be written.

She couldn't let the ink drip onto the paper, and she felt aches and pains in her back.

He was unwilling to practice, and the characters he wrote for the Empress Dowager were always written by someone else.

The characters she writes now reflect her true skill level; they're either wild cursive or ugly.

"Grandmother, Qinghe wanted to learn because she saw that her younger sister Chang Le wrote it this way."

The Empress Dowager was pleased, but also felt that she was too competitive. However, she thought again that it was not wrong to be competitive.

"Well, it's understandable that it's not well written since it's your first time."

"I lost to Chang Le this time, so I can't be rude. I'll practice more in the future."

Qinghe secretly felt smug, "It's my maternal grandmother."

"I can also write in regular seal script." In a good mood, Chang Le ran back to the table and wrote another piece. "Father, look."

Murong Yu was overjoyed and picked up his daughter, saying, "My daughter is so clever. Whatever you want, your father will give it to you."

While speaking, he couldn't help but gloat over Yunxi Yue.

I told you, Chang Le will not lose.

Yun Xiyue knew her daughter was just as good, but she couldn't stand seeing so many people fawning over her.

"Xiaoduo'er, Minmin and the others also wrote well."

Xiao Duo'er, and Zhou Yan's daughter Zhou Yumin.

They are all very outstanding, especially Zhou Yumin, who is naturally gifted in studying, just like her father, Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was also beaming with pride.

"Among the girls this time, Minmin has the best handwriting, and she even wrote the lyrics herself. She should be number one," Yun Xiyue praised.

She really likes Zhou Yumin.

Murong Yu also thought she wrote well, so he gave her a little red flower.

He was also rewarded with a set of writing implements.

In addition, Yunxi Yue bestowed upon her a set of jewelry.

Several little girls surrounded Zhou Yumin and clapped to celebrate.

Zhou Yumin blushed shyly; she was naturally happy to receive praise from the Emperor and Empress.

The Empress Dowager was indignant and said, "Qinghe, you write one too."

Qinghe, however, was somewhat afraid.

“Grandmother, I’m not going to compare myself to them! I’m weak and I don’t work as hard as they do.”

"Zhou Yumin got first place because her father is the Grand Tutor, so he must have given her special treatment in private."

Chang Le felt uncomfortable after hearing her say that, so she said, "There's no special tutoring! Sister Min usually attends classes with us and plays with me! Sister Min is just exceptionally talented."

"Who told you that!" Princess Qinghe glared at Zhou Yumin, after all, she was the same age as her.

Where is it easily compared?

"She only got first place because her father is the Grand Tutor. It's cheating, so it doesn't count."

Chang Le muttered, "Then write one yourself and see. If it's better than Sister Min's, then you're also exceptionally talented, meaning you'll be number one."

"Hmph, I'm not writing it."
