Chapter 56 Spring Exam Class Ends

"You two really didn't start the fire?"

Song Yanjin looked at the two of them curiously with his chin on his hand.

Xia Yunheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "Cousin, do you believe me?"

Song Yanjin nodded, "I believe you, but what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't do it?"

There are all kinds of dirty tricks in the palace. My little cousin has a bad temper, but he is kind-hearted and knows how to have fun in moderation. Song Yanjin doesn't quite believe that he would set fire to the house.

Last time, Lu Jie was severely bullied by his little cousin at the gate of the Imperial College. The protective empress probably wanted to avenge her nephew for a long time, but she had no chance. She didn't expect that the two little fools would fall into the trap during the New Year.

The queen is too narrow-minded. Why is she angry with the child?

The third prince looked over with tears in his eyes, he didn't expect so many people to say that he and his cousin were naughty and bad kids, he didn't expect that someone would stand on their side.

Xia Yunheng stuck to her like a dog shit plaster, raised his fist and pounded on her back, "There is no evidence, but it is enough that my cousin believes us. Next, my cousin, please don't punish us seriously."

Song Yanjin rolled his eyes at him with disdain, "Who wants to bother you two during the New Year? In order to avoid attracting attention, you two are not allowed to leave the academy gate. Do whatever you want, but don't bother me!"

The Spring Exam class ended on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year. Of course, I have to sleep well, eat well, and gain weight in the remaining days...

Xia Yunheng understood his cousin's personality very well. She was serious in class and no one could get her to go out on holidays. He used a light punch so as not to hurt her.

The third prince was stunned. Is Principal Song so casual?

I spent the rest of the day hanging out with my cousin. When Song Shanchang felt like it, they would dig a hole in the ice pond in the backyard and go fishing together.

Director Song spent most of his time in the cafeteria eating. The unknown pastries and snacks tasted soft and delicious, and they really pleased him.

My cousin said we should eat hot pot tonight? Xia Muze didn't know what hot pot was. If he asked, it would seem like he was an unworldly prince.

It was an eye-opener when I sat down at the table in the evening. The meat and vegetables were boiled in a boiling pot, and then taken out when cooked. They were spicy, numb and very refreshing.

During this period, the eldest princess and the imperial concubine's lady historian visited the academy several times to see the two of them. Only after their faces became fatter did they leave with peace of mind.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the staff of the academy returned from holiday early. In the evening, they sat in the familiar cafeteria, all of them listless, still indulging in the gentleness of home.

I didn't bother to care when Song Yanjin came in. I just sat in my familiar seat and started eating with my chopsticks. It was all my fault!

There were two more people at the main table. When Old Su and his companions learned that the handsome boy next to the Crown Prince was the prince, they all sat up straight, fearing that they would lose face in front of the prince.

The students in the sixth grade spring exam class went to school as if they were going to a grave. Everyone in the school was silent. Xia Yunheng brought his cousin to the two good brothers and said, "Xiao Jing, Yun Qing, what's wrong with you two? You just came home for the New Year, but why do you look so lifeless? The hard days ahead are still ahead."

The Third Prince laughed out loud, revealing a cute dimple on his face. "That's right. Yesterday, my cousin and I were in the Master's Courtyard helping Principal Song sort out books and test papers. There were so many..."

He stood up and gestured, "Maybe even the carriage can't pull it all!"

Gu Jiajing, Huangfu Yunqing: "..."

If you were not a prince, I would beat you so hard that your parents would not recognize you.

Huangfu Yunqing only realized that Qingyun Academy was a hell when he came there. When he returned to Jiangnan and chatted with his father, he heard some rumors about Qingyun Academy.

When talking about academics, my father's eyes lit up, as if he had returned to the time when he was young and was fighting for the imperial examination. He praised Song Shanzhang a lot, while his colleague Su Lao kept silent. When he left the day before yesterday, he repeatedly reminded him to complete the homework assigned by Song Shanzhang on time!
Gu Jiajing had no fun during the New Year. He wanted to go to the border to find his sister, but the trip back and forth would take more than a month. His nanny finally persuaded him to stop after two days of persuasion.

On the first day of the new year, Yiben wanted to go to Wangxin Lake to find his brothers to set off firecrackers. However, he learned that his brothers had caused trouble in the palace and were trapped in the academy. He decisively abandoned his brothers and returned to the ancestral home in Lin'an to play with his cousin.

Song Yanjin and Bai Zhu came in with two piles of test papers. The students sighed and said, "Hard times are coming..."

Xia Yunheng took his cousin back to his seat and listened quietly to his eldest cousin's arrangements.

Bai Zhu took the test paper from the lady's hand and handed out four or five papers to each person.

The thoughtful Xia Yunheng asked his cousin to help, and the three of them quickly completed the entire class. He used to be the helper of his eldest cousin, and now he has a cousin.

Seeing that everyone had received the test papers, Song Yanjin slammed the table with the ruler in his hand, "Alright, stop looking so sullen, I don't owe you anything. The Imperial College and other academies and private schools across the street don't have the same treatment as you do, which is to give a half-month holiday. Except for two days on the 30th and the 1st of the lunar month, they go to the academy and private school every day regardless of rain or shine. They give you a holiday so that you can prepare for the next two months of crazy practice."

"Five sets of test papers. I'll give you one day. After school, Baizhu will come and collect them."

"Oh~"

“So many appetizers?”

"Ah~ I won't live anymore!"

There were ghosts howling and wolves howling everywhere, but Song Yanjin pretended not to hear and just did his own thing.

The third prince whispered to his cousin, "Everyone is so miserable. Cousin, we are not going to participate in the Spring Examination. What are we going to do now?"

Xia Yunheng closed the storybook, searched in the bookcase on the left, found the book "The Howl of the Partridge" that he had read, and handed it to him, "Well, use the Analects to cover your eyes while reading the storybook."

Song Yanjin in the lecture hall glanced at the two people in front of her. Since the emperor had entrusted the people to her for teaching, she naturally could not let them waste their time in a daze. She had never been to the library since she took over the academy, and the previous spy died in a hurry and took nothing with him.

Should we design individual courses for them some other day, or just send them to an intensive class?
Sitting in the Spring Examination Class really takes up space.

Xia Yunheng felt uneasy being stared at, and whispered to his cousin, "Why are you looking at us like that? Cousin, please don't have any bad thoughts..."

Song Yanjin smiled wryly and came forward, "You two should go to the intensive lecture class. You are not taking the imperial examination, so why are you sitting here taking up seats?"

"no!"

Xia Yunheng yelled loudly, and everyone was looking at him. Knowing that he had disturbed others, he shrugged his shoulders and looked apologetic.

She turned around and glared at her cousin, "We are your right-hand men. We can help you urge everyone to study, and we can also help Baizhu distribute test papers..."

In short, I made up a bunch of reasons.

Song Yanjin said, "I think you can't leave Gu Jiajing and Huangfu Yunqing."

Xia Yunheng shook his head like a rattle and denied it again and again!
Well, my little cousin is still helpful in stabilizing the morale of the class. I can give them a few books in the future and test their performance occasionally. I don’t expect them to be fluent, but at least half-learned.

The spring examination classes are over and students are going to and from school as usual, and the rumors that Qingyun Academy has closed down have been refuted.

Your Majesty dares to send the Third Prince to Qingyun Academy and appoints Principal Song to teach him personally. This shows that the academy is clean and upright, and not as bad as the rumors say.

Otherwise, do you dare to question His Majesty's judgment?
