Three days earlier...
It was seen that the young women clustered together to form their respective status and degree groups.
Stand to the side. Xiao Rou came to hand over the books used for the class.
[The Virtue of a Wife]
A title that seems to contain a lot of old-school content of patriarchal values. It's so old-fashioned and old-fashioned!
Xiu Qixuan's eyes ached, she looked subtly shaken. The book is completely fucked up. Lots of indecent pictures in it.
"Xiao Rou, how about we just run away before it's too late?" Xiu Qixuan grimaced with complaints. "I suddenly felt sick!"
Hearing complaints. Xiao Rou shook his face, He quickly replied heartlessly: "Can't!" Circulating the crowded surroundings by the giggling voice of the young noble lady. Xiao Rou continued piercingly, "You are truly a lonely human being, huh. Or do you not know how to get along?" abugn.
Xiu Qixuan seemed to be frowning with both of her hands hugging the book. He looked straight at the young noble ladies who were busy joking and talking around him.
They were well dressed, everything looked like they had just come out of a painting.
Stand blank on the side of the corner that does not attract attention. Xiu Qixuan looked like a friendless loner, indeed that was the fact, 'sih.
Sighing in a rough breath, Xiu Qixuan spoke: "Haa." He then randomly pointed at someone with his chin. "Look, that fake smile. Isn't it too stiff for others not to notice?"
Give up on talking further. Xiao Rou could only take a deep breath.
Suddenly, one old maid and two eunuchs came making an announcement for them to immediately leave the park and enter the large hall, where the bridal class for the candidates was held.
The attendants were not allowed to enter, they would stay outside the doors of the hall building until waiting for their master to finish.
With a refined move, Xiu Qixuan was the first to enter the grand hall. Not because she was excited for the bridal class, but because other candidates stepped in groups.
A spacious hall with chairs and tables lined up neatly. On top of the wall with a high pole hung many calligraphic carvings that formed a poem. In the middle there is a podium that becomes the center for a higher-up who becomes a teacher.
The more he stepped in, the more smell of dry old ink and paper. Xiu Qixuan immediately took a seat in the third seat of the left row.
In just a few seconds later, someone caught up and sat in the first seat of his right row. She was a small young girl. He has a small oval face with a beautiful eye line. His simple hairstyle, with a peony flower pattern between his eyebrows makes him look soft and charismatic.
Xiu Qixuan stared straight, occasionally from the end of her eyes she stole a glance to look at the girl. He felt familiar with that calm, respectful and dignified face.
The girl entered the hall room by herself, she only gave a formal smile to say hello at a glance but did not have the slightest intention to mince words.
But clearly the girl did not seem like a coward who was being bullied. He even looks like someone who is only focused on carrying out important obligations such as attending this bridal class which is his duty. Judging from the way he who came directly opened the book and read also took notes vigorously.
Tired of waiting, Xiu Qixuan involuntarily tapped her fingers at the table.
"Miss." A voice from the front sounded. "Are you able to stop the tap of your finger?" disturbed said.
"Aah?" Xiu Qixuan flinched then said. "Yes, sorry. I was unconscious!" ringice.
Seeing the girl's face shrivel seriously, Xiu Qixuan felt dejavu. It felt like Yao Yunmei was reprimanding him when he forgot basic etiquette.
Xiu Qixuan spontaneously stood up and said: "Include me Xiu Qixuan, the daughter of the Great General Xiu who has just come from the southern border." Then with a full of refined dignity, he continued. "Please Miss forgive my disrespectful behavior just now."
The girl turned her head, blinking looking at him deeply. "You're Big Miss Xiu?" tanyakanya.
The girl immediately stood up and smiled back, with an elegant gesture she introduced herself. "The third lady of the Yao family, Yao Anran." he said.
"Please help, third lady." Xiu Qixuan said kindly by trying to hide her curiosity for Yao Yunmei's younger sister.
A.tap.tap.
The hurried sound of footsteps interrupted their conversation.
Xiu Qixuan immediately turned her head towards the door, flashing with a sharp frown, looking she was a little surprised to see a single figure of the girl who had red hair was walking uneasily towards the corner of the back right seat.
Looking at her red hair, Xiu Qixuan so recalled the one most annoying person who had such hair color.
The red-haired girl's body seemed to tremble, she was like agitated and insecure. Intentionally or unintentionally, her hair bangs did not she tie into a model but instead covered half of her face that kept her head down.
A minute later, the group of young noble ladies entered the room. They glanced at Xiu Qixuan and Yao Anran with slightly twitching eyes and mouth.
Xiu Qixuan looked flatly at the arrival of Fan Jingran who was with Helan Qianyu to the large hall.
Taking a sharp breath, Xiu Qixuan sat back in her place. His face remained calm without the slightest ripple when he heard some people talking about him.
Suddenly the atmosphere became silent as a senior female servant entered the room.
"Miss honorable candidates. Classes will begin soon. And, lucky for a sunny season today. His Highness Shang Shufei will come to see your faces."
He announced the arrival of Shang Shufei who became the special supervisor in the bridal class today.
Upon hearing the announcement, the young noblewomen looked calm outside but excited inside. Their faces were full of ambition. It must be in their brains that they were thinking how to please and attract Shang Shufei to get the seventh prince.
Xiu Qixuan could see a flash of embers full of clever tactics in the eyes of several people, not least Helan Qianyu who looked so confident.
The guards slowly closed the doors of the hall when the class was about to begin. But, it was stopped by someone's booming scream.
"Wait, wait! Don't shut it down, let me in!"
Brakes..
The door opened hard. When someone who ran at full power charged in forcibly.
Everyone look over. Seeing a girl with a tangled and sweaty appearance was setting her breath on the door entrance.
Slowly the girl's face lifted, her expression grimacing as she chuckled awkwardly by opening a bit of her mouth, revealing her row of white teeth. It is very difficult for people to not like it.
Xiu Qixuan's eyes widened when she saw him. Su Yiyang, that girl is really making a troublemaker in the palace. It was fortunate that Shang Shufei had yet to come out from behind the scenes in the large hall.
Su Yiyang circulated a look looking for a seat when he finished hearing the rambling of the senior female servant.
Accidentally. As he approached, his gaze clashed with Xiu Qixuan.
He sparkled by exclaiming spontaneously approaching. "Miss store manager!"
Xiu Qixuan flinched and immediately stood up to pull her closer. "Don't call me that!" He whispered stiffly, "Include me is Big Miss Xiu who came from the southern border" he said formally.
"Ah..?" Su Yiyang blinked innocently with a faint stunned.
