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

Chapter 1179

There weren't many princes left in the capital; he was the only one left. The others had all gone to their fiefdoms, but the child remained in the capital.

"Yes, she should also take care to rest. I've noticed that Qinghe has lost weight recently. Don't let her focus on her studies and forget about her health; wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"

Prince Rui quickly replied, "Your Majesty is right."

Zhang Chuhuan's expression changed slightly, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Her son studied just as hard, and nothing happened to him either.

Ultimately, it's because they spoiled Qinghe too much, and this girl is too stupid.

How can she not work hard? If she embarrasses herself again, she'll be the one getting scolded.

"let's start!"

The Six Arts of a Gentleman refer to rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

"Li" refers to morality and etiquette. "Yue" refers to musical instruments, dance, and poetry. "She" refers to archery, "Yu" refers to horseback riding, and "Shu" includes literacy and writing. "Shu" refers to mathematics and the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

In addition, the princes will be tested on their martial arts skills.

Murong Yu and Yun Xiyue sat side by side. Yun Xiyue wore a phoenix crown and a gorgeous dress, and was gentle, charming and elegant.

Watching the children compete.

The girls couldn't participate in horseback riding and archery.

But seeing it made her want to ride it, so Chang Le came over and said, "Father, Chang Le wants to ride a horse too."

"We'll talk about it when you're older. Your father will teach you," Murong Yu said with a smile.

After the assessment, all the princes performed well and showed a competitive spirit, even willing to lose.

But in the end, the eldest prince was the better one. This child was too much like Murong Yu, and he was excellent in every way. Moreover, he was very self-disciplined.

Like a born emperor, he is a very promising talent. It was precisely because of this talent that Murong Yu was given special attention by the late emperor.

Murong Yu is now consciously grooming the eldest prince.

"They all performed well."

Then, on the women's side, Zhou Yumin performed the best, followed by Xiao Duo'er, then Chang Le, and then Qing He.

Forget about first place, you won't even get second place.

Zhang Chuhuan and the Empress Dowager turned green with anger.

"What's going on! Qinghe has been working so hard lately, yet she's still not as good as Changle? Changle just plays around all day." The Empress Dowager angrily rebuked Princess Rui.

"Grandmother, Chang Le didn't play every day. Chang Le also studied hard." Chang Le said angrily.

She knew that her grandmother didn't like her and preferred her sister Qinghe.

"Changle, don't be angry. Grandmother isn't saying you're bad, she just thinks there's a problem with this assessment," the Empress Dowager quickly explained.

Everyone was speechless.

Princess Qinghe's talent was average, and Princess Rui's teaching was flawed, so it's normal that she didn't perform well.

She kept dozing off; she definitely didn't sleep well last night. It would be strange if she did well on the exam.

However, the Empress Dowager couldn't stand Qinghe being worse than others, which is why she doubted the authenticity of this assessment.

"I believe that Grand Tutor Zhou is not qualified to set the exam questions."

Qinghe was right last time; he must have been secretly giving his daughter extra tutoring.

"Your Majesty, the questions for this exam were all set by General Pei, Lord Pei Heng, and Lord Song, among others. I was not involved." Zhou Yan was annoyed. Was it so hard to admit that his daughter was excellent?

It's also strange that the Empress Dowager always compares Princess Qinghe and Princess Changle.

Zhou Yan had been holding back for a long time. "Princess Qinghe looks like she hasn't slept well, and she doesn't seem to concentrate much in class. She often just spaces out."
