Chapter 9
After listening to her talk a lot, Li Yuyan summarized that the first empress established Xinya Academy so that women could have a place to study. Although they did not have to make achievements like men after completing their studies, they could still use their skills.
After the death of the first empress, it gradually evolved into the daughter of aristocratic families competing to go to Xinya Academy to get a layer of gold in the hope of marrying a good husband.
Moreover, Xinya Academy is only separated from the Imperial College by a wall, so there are countless girls who want to go to the academy. Unfortunately, the number of places is limited and not everyone can enter.
"Sister, take the golden flower post and go to the clothing store to get a set of clothes. It is worn on Mondays or holidays when you go to school. It is for school uniforms." Li Jiajia added, "But the clothes are simple in style. In those days, many wealthy families were wearing carriages.
I changed into my clothes before entering the school."
"Was the school uniform also created by the late Queen?"
Li Jiajia nodded heavily: "Yes, it is said that the late empress painted the pattern herself."
Li Yuyan was shocked for a moment. The late Queen was a strange woman, who founded a school and designed school uniforms.
The two chatted all the way, and when they reached the hanging flower gate, Li Jiajia suggested: "Sister, let me accompany you to the clothing store. Then I'll get to know you."
"Okay, thank you!"
"Hehe, you're welcome!"
After Li Jiajia informed He, she and Li Yuyan went out and went straight to the clothing store.
Li Yuyan was somewhat grateful to Ye Yiheng for being able to go out freely. It was precisely because he sent the imperial doctor to check her pulse that her father allowed her to enter and leave the house freely without reporting to Feng.

Arriving at Huayangtang, the largest clothing store in the capital, Li Jiajia led Li Yuyan to the school uniform area in a familiar manner.
There were many young women gathering in twos and threes in the store to choose clothes.
"Is that the sixth lady of the Li family?"
"Yes, Man Ting's cousin used to follow her all day long, which annoyed her." The young woman sneered, "Recently, she has become more sensible and stopped following her."
"Then who is the veiled one next to her?"
As soon as the question came out, several girls gathered together looked at Li Yuyan.
The woman just now hummed: "Who else needs to cover their face with a veil when they return home recently from the Li family?"
The girls reacted immediately.
"To marry the Prince of the East Palace in place of Man Ting, a country girl raised by the Li family in a ravine?"
Someone lowered his voice: "She is the legendary ugliest woman in the world!"
At this moment, they saw Li Yuyan showing the golden flower post in his hand to the female shopkeeper.
"Why does she have golden flower posts?"
"Don't tell me, she's going to Xinya Academy too?"
The female shopkeeper saw Jinhua's post and enthusiastically asked Li Yuyan to try on school uniforms in the fitting room.
Li Yuyan seemed not to hear the whispers not far away and went directly into the fitting room.
Li Jiajia hated this group of people who were talking nonsense, and some of them had bullied her in school. When she got angry, she gave them a fierce look.
"Hey, did you see it? Li Jiajia dared to stare at us?"
Several girls came over and stood opposite Li Jiajia.
The maid Qinxiang hurriedly grabbed Li Jiajia, hoping that her young lady would show weakness and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Li Jiajia shook off Qinxiang's hand and still stared at them angrily.
"You're so successful, you dare to keep staring at us!" As he spoke, a girl in pink clothes rushed over and greeted Li Jiajia's face with her hand.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
"Click——"
A crisp voice sounded.
That was the sound of dislocated finger bones.
The people present looked around and saw a girl wearing a Xinya Academy uniform with a white gauze covering her face gently pinching the fingers of a girl in pink.
"Ah, it hurts!" the girl in pink cried miserably, "my hand is going to be useless, please report it to me quickly."
There was another "click" sound.
Li Yuyan said softly: "It can't be abolished!"
After saying that, he turned around calmly and said to the female shopkeeper: "This dress is just the right size. I want it."
The female shopkeeper then turned her attention to Li Yuyan, and she was shocked by this look.
In the more than 20 years since Xinya Academy was founded, no one has ever worn her school uniform to such a stunning degree.
"My lady has a graceful figure. She wears this size just right, as if it was tailor-made." The female shopkeeper couldn't help but admire, "I have sold thousands of sets of school uniforms in this store, and my lady is the first one to display them.
The Queen’s school uniform is for those who are beautiful both internally and externally!”
Everyone present nodded.
Even those girls who gossiped about Li Yuyan and had trouble with Li Jiajia had to admit that the figure of Li Yuyan in front of them was unparalleled.
No matter what her face looks like under the veil, she looks absolutely beautiful like this.
If they had a figure like hers, they would wear their school uniforms to school and go out without having to change on the carriage.
The girl in pink clothes opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time before she looked away from Li Yuyan and carefully checked her fingers. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her fingers, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
What just happened?
She clearly felt that two of her fingers were pinched by the ugly girl, and the joints were torn apart and dislocated, causing unbearable pain. But then they were closed again, and the pain was gone.
What is this technique?
Such a sudden shock made her lose most of her soul.
On the carriage back to Li Mansion, Li Jiajia clutched her handkerchief and said, "Sister, thanks to you, if it weren't for my sister, I would have been slapped on the face."
"They said I was gossiping first, so you don't need to take it to heart." Li Yuyan said calmly.
At this time, Qinxiang interjected: "Miss Wu doesn't know something. My young lady is often bullied by them in school. If young lady resists, they will bully her even more."
Li Jiajia took a look at Qinxiang and said to Li Yuyan: "Sister, how did you do that just now? Teach me!"
During the questioning, she imitated Li Yuyan's actions just now, pinched two of Qinxiang's fingers, and shook them hard.
No matter how I shake it, there is no clicking sound.
So he threw it again, and again, and again...
Miaozhu couldn't see it and said, "Miss Sixth, this is not something ordinary people can learn."
Hearing this, Li Jiajia stopped moving and looked at Li Yuyan blankly.
Amused by her expression, Li Yuyan said warmly: "If you want me to shake someone's finger in school, just say so."
Li Jiajia's eyes instantly filled with light, her eyes shining brightly: "No one will dare to bully me in the school from now on!"
Before she finished speaking, she moved her buttocks and sat next to Li Yuyan.
Li Yuyan moved an inch to the side, and she followed suit. Not only that, she kept chattering on the road.
"Although my sister is wearing a veil, her smile is very beautiful. When she is not smiling, her eyes are also very beautiful, as if she can talk..."
At the clothing store, as soon as Li Yuyan and the others left the store, the female shopkeeper wrote a note and sent someone to deliver it to the East Palace.
Song Guo took the note and presented it to Ye Yiheng: "Your Highness, this is sent by Huayang Hall. The school uniform that the former Queen painted personally was chosen! The person who was selected seems to have some exquisite skills.
The shopkeeper couldn't see it clearly, but he is indeed very skilled."
"Oh?" Ye Yiheng raised his eyebrows.
