"sure."
Tang Ning chuckled: "The academy has never stipulated that women should not be admitted. The gentlemen also said that there is no distinction between education and distinction. However, the academy had regulations before. Anyone who wanted to enter the academy had to pass the exam first, and this year's admissions It’s over. If you want to enter the academy again, you have to wait until next year.”
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up: "But I heard that the academy's quiz will eliminate some unqualified students, and the vacant seats will be filled by new recruits."
"That's what happened."
"Can I participate in the extra time?"
"sure."
Tang Ning was a little surprised, but also happy: "Entering the academy depends on your ability. If you can pass the supplementary examination, you will naturally be able to enter the academy."
When Miss Wang heard this, she immediately became happy, and her bookish air couldn't hide her sparkling eyes.
She had been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she was the only daughter in the family. Her father had never been dissatisfied with her because she was a daughter and had no sons in the family, but instead raised her very carefully.
What she has learned is no worse than that of men, just because she is a woman. No matter how talented and knowledgeable she is, she can only get the name of a talented girl like a joke, which will give her a little bit of leverage in her future marriage.
But this is not what she wants.
She didn't want others to look at her like a commodity and judge her value, and she didn't want to study hard for many years and end up just getting married and having children like other girls.
She doesn't hate getting married, but she wants to be Wang Yuzhen first, and then someone else's wife.
But she couldn't talk about these thoughts to the outside world. If she did, it would be treasonous and unethical, which would not be tolerated in the world. It would also drag down the reputation of her father and other sisters in the clan.
The appearance of Tangning and Rongsheng Academy became the only opportunity she could seize.
With Princess Xiangning in front of her, no one can say anything if she enters Rongsheng Academy.
"Yuzhen, are you going to take the exam at Rongsheng Academy?"
"Yes, Sister Wang, Rongsheng Academy is full of men, do you really want to take the exam?"
Miss Wang said: "I want to give it a try, and aren't Princess Xiangning and Miss Xue also here? They are just studying in the same class and nothing else..."
"laugh!"
As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, a sneer came from the side.
"Men and women are different from each other at the age of seven. Although we in the Wei Dynasty have never been so strict, there are differences between men and women. We don't have to worry about slandering the reputation of being in the same hospital and being close to each other every day. Besides, can you and Song Tangning be the same?"
"She broke off her engagement, forced her relatives to death, expelled herself from the clan, and instigated her aunt to divorce. She won His Majesty's favor and was very close to Governor Xiao. She was protected by someone. Do you think you can be like her? , Aren’t you afraid that your saliva will flood the front door of your Wang family?”
Mrs. Wang's face turned cold. Tang Ning turned around and saw the people from the clan coming in. Her eyes fell on the person who spoke.
Xie Yuyan looked coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Tang Ning smiled slightly: "Princess Wenqing seems to be in good spirits. I think her injuries have healed."
Xie Yuyan's face turned green, and she suddenly remembered the kick she received from the maid next to Song Tangning in Lingyun Temple, as well as the whip she received from Qian Qiyue.
She had a dark face and was about to speak when Qian Qiyue patted Tang Ning with a smile but not a smile: "What are you talking about? Where did Princess Wenqing come from here?"
Tang Ning was immediately annoyed: "Yes, it's all my fault. I forgot that the princess has been a commoner for a long time. I'm sorry, thank you, little lady."
Some people around couldn't help but chuckle.
Xie Yuyan was instantly furious: "Song Tangning!"
"What?"
Qian Qiyue crossed her body and pushed Xie Yuyan back. She said with fierce eyes: "Did you not get enough whipping that day?"
"you!"
Xie Yuyan staggered and almost fell. When she was supported by the person next to her, the person quickly held down Xie Yuyan who was about to curse. She raised her head and said to Song Tangning with some displeasure:
"Although you are the princess, Yuyan is of royal blood. It was already offensive for you to attack her at Lingyun Temple that day. Why did you two act so aggressively?"
Qian Qiyue almost laughed angrily at these words: "Are we aggressive? Isn't it because she was the first to be mean-mouthed!"
The woman looked unhappy: "Why are you talking like this? A young lady talks so obscenely. Is this the upbringing of a girl from your Qian family?"
"I……"
Qian Qiyue had a bad temper, and she was about to fall out immediately after hearing these words.
Tang Ning quickly took her arm and squeezed her hard, calling "Sister Ah Yue". Although the voice was not high, it interrupted Qian Qiyue's anger.
Tang Ning pulled Qian Qiyue, who was angry, and raised her eyes to look at the speaker.
"Everyone in the capital knows how the Qian family girl is. Sister Ayue is straightforward and hates evil. If she has any injustice, she will say a few words and sensible people will not be offended. But this one..."
Tang Ning glanced at Qian Qiyue, who murmured: "She is the eldest concubine of Prince Lu's palace."
As soon as Tang Ning heard "Prince Lu's Mansion", she knew what this person was about. She said calmly: "This Crown Princess, since you said that Miss Xie is a member of the royal family, she should have the sense of proportion of a member of the royal family."
"Rongsheng Academy was planned and built by His Majesty himself. On the day of its opening, everyone heard His Majesty reciting the words of a saint, saying that the students in the academy, regardless of poverty or wealth, regardless of their origins, will be the pillars of the future government after entering the academy, and they also hope that in the academy The husband taught them without any selfish motives."
"The school is a sacred place. Those students are grateful for the divine grace and wish they could learn and serve the court as soon as possible. Now that it has fallen into the mouth of Miss Xie, the school has become a place of filth and lewdness."
"Why, in the eyes of you royal family members, the academy is such an unworthy place, where a woman's reputation will be insulted if she sets foot in it under the bright sky?"
As soon as Tang Ning said these words, everyone's expressions changed.
The Crown Princess of Prince Lu's Palace said solemnly: "I didn't say that!"
"But she said it."
Tang Ning looked at Xie Yuyan unceremoniously: "It's enough for you to mock me. It's just that you are narrow-minded and deliberately provocative. But you insult Rongsheng Academy and humiliate the students who are desperately studying and wanting to serve the court. It's hateful." Extremely.”
"If you don't apologize to them, I will personally ask Prince Ji to see if Prince Ji's palace looks down on the academy that His Majesty has worked so hard to build and looks down on the world's literati!"
Princess Ji's face turned pale, and even Princess Lu's face changed as she helped speak just now.
She just resented that on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, Old Princess Lu was humiliated by Tang Ning, and Nanny An next to her was even slapped thirty times in the face in public. Although this was a plot, Prince Lu's Mansion also took revenge on the matter afterwards. Princess Leyang's body, and later the princess's mansion suffered retribution.
But Princess Lu was disgraced and still suffered from a serious illness.
Prince Lu died in battle early in his life, and now Prince Lu's palace is entirely supported by the old princess. The palace has been slow to allow the heir apparent to ascend the throne. If the old princess has any good intentions, Prince Lu's palace will definitely be in chaos.
The Crown Princess of Prince Lu's Palace helped Xie Yuyan, not because she was on good terms with Prince Ji's Palace, but because she wanted to shame Tang Ning. But who knew that Tang Ning was so stubborn, she didn't say anything when she retorted in person, and even escalated the matter from the academy to the level among all the students in the world. There is Emperor An.
Seeing Tang Ning finish thanking Yuyan and looking up at her, the Crown Princess of Prince Lu Mansion subconsciously took half a step back.
Qian Qiyue: "Bang!"
