She said: "Whether my master goes to Beijing Women's College to teach or to teach in Beining is his freedom, and it is not something I, a young apprentice, can control. In the past six months, I have repeatedly heard my master say that he likes Beining. In the future, he

You have to stay in the Beining Painting Academy to paint all the time. Therefore, the princess's suggestion is probably not successful. If the princess doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask."

After saying this, she sighed secretly.

She originally wanted to prevent Master from offending Concubine Jin because of her own affairs. But she failed in the end.

Xiao Yuyue's face finally darkened.

That old man Kang Shilin was not a man who would give her face. Once he refused, there would be no room for change.

Kang Shilin was so old and wanted a young apprentice to serve him nearby. How could she force him not to allow it? This matter made Kang Shilin unhappy, and he went to the emperor to make trouble. Not to mention herself, even Concubine Jin was in trouble.

Not good.

She suddenly came to the door in person, just to bypass Kang Shilin and ask Zhao Ruxi to agree directly. She would not send someone to ask and give Kang Shilin a chance to refuse.

Since they couldn't reach an agreement, she could only use coercion.

Xiao Yuyue stood up and took a few steps closer, stood in front of Zhao Ruxi, and asked coldly: "What do you mean, you want to stay in Beining and are unwilling to enter the Capital Women's Academy, even if it offends Concubine Jin and me?"

At no cost?"

She bit the words "Jin Fei Empress" very hard and stared straight at Zhao Ruxi with her eyes full of threatening coldness.

Zhao Ruxi, however, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not looking at her at all.

Hearing this, she looked panicked and denied repeatedly: "No, no, Princess, you have misunderstood. It's not that Ruxi is unwilling, but because of her master and her painting professor for the court, she can't go.

I also ask for your understanding, my concubine and the princess."

Seeing that Zhao Ruxi could not accept her threat at all, although she looked panicked, her words did not let up at all, Xiao Yuyue was so angry that her mouth was full of smoke.

She turned to look at the old lady and Mrs. Zhu, and said in an unkind tone: "Do you two think so too?"

Half a year ago, the old lady would not have allowed Zhao Ruxi to act like this.

Concubine Jin has been favoring the harem these years. Not to mention Concubine Jin, Princess Pingyang, who has been running the Beijing Women's Academy for many years, is not someone Suiping Mansion can afford to offend.

In addition, being able to study in the Capital Women's College is a dream for noble ladies. Remembering that when Zhao Ruyu was admitted to the Capital Women's College, the old lady thought it was a sign of prosperity for Suiping's residence, and she wanted to hold a big banquet to celebrate.

Later, I was disturbed by the mystery of my life experience and gave up.

Now Princess Pingyang, the manager of the Beijing Women's Academy, personally came to invite me. What kind of family honor is this? It is absolutely unethical to refuse.

But now the old lady doesn't think so.

Zhao Ruxi's political acumen is the only one the old lady has seen in her life. No matter what the reason is for Zhao Ruxi to refuse Princess Pingyang's solicitation, the old lady believes that she must have her own reason. And her refusal will definitely not bring trouble to the family.

She believed in Zhao Ruxi.

As for Mr. Zhu, she has a clearer mind and is more firmly on her daughter's side.

As early as when Xiao Yuyue stood up, the old lady and Mrs. Zhu were already standing aside.

At this moment, the old lady took a step forward, bowed to Xiao Yuyue and said: "The princess is angry. The child is not sensible, and maybe her words are inappropriate, but what she said is also true. Mr. Kumu is old, and the descendants of the Kang family and other

The apprentices are all busy with official duties. Only Sister Xi can take advantage of the geographical location and good connections to serve her. Although the things she learned in the academy are important, we don't expect her to pass the exam and come back as a Jinshi. We only expect her to learn painting.

She has achieved something. So no matter what, she will follow Mr. Kumu."

Xiao Yuyue's face was extremely ugly.

She really didn't expect that the old lady of Suiping's house would reject her. When did this shabby Suiping's house become so strong?

"So you are not willing to agree?" She stared at Zhao Ruxi with cold eyes.

But Zhao Ruxi always had a humble attitude, lowered her head and lowered her eyes. She could not see any expression on Xiao Yuyue's face.

Zhao Ruxi had a blessed life, but her attitude was still humble and respectful: "My lord, please forgive me."

"Okay, very good." Xiao Yuyue squeezed out a few words through her teeth, flicked her sleeves, turned around and left.

"I'll see the princess off." Zhao Ruxi said quickly from behind.

She blinked at the old lady and followed Xiao Yuyue out of the door. Although Xiao Yuyue deliberately slowed down, Zhao Ruxi, who was "overwhelmed", could only fall far behind. But she still insisted on following until Xiao Yuyue was beaten.

Yue was sent to the gate and watched her carriage drive away from Suiping Bo's Mansion before returning, having done a lot of etiquette.

When Zhao Ruxi returned to the hall, Zhao Yuanxun, who had been paying attention to this matter, was already sitting in the hall.

As soon as she entered, the three elders looked at her with worried eyes.

"It's okay." Zhao Ruxi comforted them with a smile, "I will ask Master to explain it in front of the Emperor when the time comes. Concubine Jin wants to be famous, so she will never dare to embarrass me openly."

"That's behind the scenes..." Zhu said.

"I either teach painting or study painting, or I take classes at Beining Academy, and I have nothing to ask of them. Apart from Bailu Village and a few rice noodle shops, I don't have much property. They want to embarrass me behind my back.

You may not be able to find opportunities."

"No matter what, you still have to be extremely careful in your actions in the future." Zhao Yuanxun said.

"Well, grandma, don't worry, parents, I know." Zhao Ruxi said, "It's you. It's the end of the year, there are many invitations from everywhere, and there are many large and small banquets. Princess Pingyang will definitely try to tamper with the banquet.

.I think if you don’t want to attend these banquets, then you shouldn’t go. Just be patient for a year or two. After one or two years, we will not be so angry again.”

By then, not only Princess Pingyang, but also Concubine Jin and the third prince will be in trouble.

"In that case, I might as well pretend to be sick," the old lady said.

If she was lying in bed due to the cold, Zhao Yuanxun, Zhu Shi, and Zhao Ruxi would be sick and unable to attend the banquet. It was reasonable and reasonable, and no one could fault her. This was the best reason.

"Isn't this... not good?" Zhu hesitated.

It's always unlucky for an old lady to pretend to be sick on New Year's Day.

The old lady waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, it's not like I haven't pretended before. After pretending that time, look at our house, are the times getting better and better? My body is also stronger than before."

Before the family was separated, there were a lot of troubles and troubles, and the old lady never felt relaxed and happy.
