Hearing her say this, everyone suddenly remembered that the Protectorate had an invincible heavy cavalry.
Everyone’s attention immediately shifted from Leng Zhiruo to Qin Yanran.
“Miss Qin, your riding skills must be very good, right?” Miss Lu asked. “Later… can you teach me how to ride?”
Although they were here to teach riding and archery, it was obvious that Princess Hui An could already ride a horse. Princess Jingning was not here, so there was no need to accommodate her. The teacher would teach according to Princess Hui An’s standards.
These daughters who did not know how to ride horses probably did not have much chance to learn from scratch.
“Miss Qin, can you teach me too?” The daughter of the Lin family leaned over.
“And me!”
“I want to learn too!”
Qin Yanran smiled and said humbly, “I actually only learned a little from Father…
Miss Lu said, “Don’t belittle yourself! You’re the daughter of a wealthy family.
Even if you only learned a little, it will still be much better than others!”
Miss Lin said sarcastically, “That’s right, unlike some people who don’t have any specialties. They clearly got last place, but they still insisted on getting in through the back door!”
These words were just short of naming Su Xiaoxiao.
Of course, Su Xiaoxiao knew that she had “tested” last, but the school had not announced her results. How did Miss Lin know?
Coincidentally, Miss Lin’s father happened to be one of the marking officials yesterday. He was reading silent books and composing poems.
This was the first time he had seen such ugly words. He almost tore the paper apart on the spot!
After all, he was not taking the imperial examination and was not that strict. His name was not written on the paper. He looked at the words “Su Daya” and his mind buzzed.
She didn’t get a single question right.
When it came to poetry… the title was not bad.
However, when he finished reading it confidently… his colleagues around him roared with laughter.
He read it again before realizing that he had been scolded by an examinee!
Lord Lin was furious.
He was not the only one who was angry.
In short, after reading the paper, the examiners were all fuming. They could not remember who the first place was at all. They only remembered someone called Su Daya… One could not carve rotten wood!
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know that her name had already become famous at Hanlin Academy. Otherwise, she would definitely understand why Teacher Jiang asked who Miss Su was before class.
“So she’s last… Then on what basis can she still be a princess study companion?”
“Exactly!”
“The person who was pushed down by her is so pitiful…’
Qin Yanran said, “Miss Lin, stop joking. We all got into the accompanying school with our strength. I believe no one will do this.”
Miss Lin glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said to Qin Yanran, “You’re just too kind-hearted and don’t know the dangers of the world. Some people will do anything to achieve their goals!”
If they were to ask how their hostility towards Su Xiaoxiao came about, it actually had nothing to do with Su Xiaoxiao not getting last place.
As the daughters of aristocratic families, they were born with a sense of superiority and looked down on girls from the countryside.
Secondly, Su Xiaoxiao’s status was more important than theirs.
After Lord Wu An died in battle, Qin Canglan was the most powerful general in the Great Zhou. He had real power and privileges. As Qin Canglan’s biological granddaughter, one could imagine how high her status was.
When Qin Yanran was the first daughter, she was really talented. They accepted it.
But on what basis should the girl from the countryside suppress them?
“Miss Leng, don’t you think so?” Miss Lin continued to pull people into her camp.
The Leng family and the Wei family were best friends, so they naturally did not get along with the Qin family. This could be seen from the competition between Qin Yanran and Leng Zhiruo.
“It’s time to choose a horse.” However, Leng Zhiruo was clearly not interested in this topic. She turned around and left.
Qin Yanran said calmly, “Miss Lin, if you want to learn how to ride a horse from Miss Leng…”
Miss Lin hurriedly said, “No, no! I wanted to learn from you!”
She turned around. “Eh? Where’s the country girl?”
They had been mocking her for half a day, but she did not listen at all..
