Warning, Old Vine seemed to have settled down on the surface, but she was still not at ease. She crouched next to the small water basin where Eggy was, telling it to be clever and to call for help if Old Vine had any ill intentions.
The shell's color flickered between light and dark as Eggy communicated with her in this way. Well, as long as it heard her.
On the day of school, Sang Qingxiao and Li Cu changed into their academic robes. Unlike the Two Little Treasures who grew cuter the more you looked at them, the Women's Academy robes were much more conservative, hiding all the beautiful curves of a woman, making them look like barrels. They were thick and heavy; even though it was winter, wearing them made one break into a fine sweat.
So ugly! Li Cu complained.
Now she understood the human concepts of beauty and ugliness. Following Sang Qingxiao's suggestion, she adjusted her appearance slightly and used a lot of skincare products. Now, she looked like a charming girl with both grace and vigor.
Like a young lady, Xiaoxiao said, I don't want to wear this.
At the Imperial Academy, the male and female academies were only separated by a wall. Perhaps it was precisely because of the distance imposed by propriety that women were made to dress this way.
The clothes couldn't be altered, but they could make some visual adjustments.
With a flick of her hand, she applied runes to her outfit. Indeed, it looked much more refined. Sang Qingxiao didn't want to overdo it; everyone dressed like this, and being too unconventional wouldn't be good.
The main entrance of the Imperial Academy led directly to the Boys' Academy, while the Women's Academy had to take a side entrance that was far off and discreetly decorated. The guards outside were all Strong Women.
Qi Xiaomian had told her not to underestimate these Strong Women; among them were former palace maids who might not seem impressive but were quite capable. They still had connections within the palace, so the young ladies from noble families treated them with respect.
After handing over her identification slip, they merely glanced at it before letting her through. Clearly, they had received instructions beforehand. One of them even escorted her to class.
Around the corner, she overheard a group of girls gossiping about Sang Qingxiao.
Sang Qingxiao paused, and the Strong Woman leading her also stopped without stopping her from eavesdropping.
Is that girl going to school today?
It seems so.
I don’t know what the academy is thinking; how could they accept someone like her! I heard she comes from the countryside and is an abandoned baby. Just because she knows a bit about catching monsters doesn’t mean she deserves to study in our academy! Honestly, I feel embarrassed just saying it!
Exactly! Not only does she come from a poor background, but she also flaunts herself everywhere. In that rundown place of hers, she sees more men every day than I have in my entire life! Such an indecent person—I’m ashamed to share a classroom with her!
Chu Huan, what nonsense are you talking? She has merit for saving lives; His Majesty specially allowed her to attend school. That’s far better than someone like you who relies on your background!
As soon as you opened your mouth, I could smell your jealousy from miles away. It’s just that Yongxin Marquis doesn’t fancy you anymore; yet you keep shamelessly asking your royal aunt to matchmake for you again and again.
You’ve turned yourself into a joke—what right do you have to mock others here?
And you too, Yun Duo! Your cousin married the wrong person and caused such a stir in the city that nearly implicated His Majesty! It was Miss Sang who helped settle this matter; if it weren't for her intervention, your Yun family would have faced serious consequences! Yet here you are ungrateful and full of complaints—what do you call that? Bitterness towards kindness!
As for you few, no matter how many small thoughts you have, you cannot deny that they are indeed capable, and quite capable at that. They just came to the academy for a short while; how does that affect you?
The Monthly Exam is just around the corner. Have you all prepared for it? Yet you still have time to gossip behind their backs. What’s the difference between you and the gossipy women at the village entrance?
