An Lingge's eyes were curved, causing the gorgeous face's expression to become much more gentle and spirited.
She raised her eyes to look at Aunt Li, and her tone was gentle and gentle, "However, since Aunt Li has come, then send these to Second Sister, treat it as your apology to Second Sister, and don't let Second Sister be hurt because of what happened that day."
Such gentleness and empathy made Madam Li snort coldly in her heart, and her gaze fell on the pastries.
"It's just a few ordinary pastries, is it worth it to be Eldest Miss for half a day?"
The Madam Li didn't care whether An Lingge bought the pastries for her or gave them to An Lingxue. She only wanted to catch An Lingge and make a fool of him for the majority of the day, so that she can't find any excuses.
An Lingge, on the other hand, seemed to have already talked about how the Madam Li would make trouble, and pointed to the wrapped up fine osmanthus cake, "Aunt Li might not know, but although this osmanthus cake is only an ordinary cake, but it comes from the Hundred Aroma Restaurant, so buying this kind of cake would take at least two hours."
Spring osmanthus flowers are rare, and this Hundred Fragrance Pavilion osmanthus cake is made with the osmanthus flowers dried last year.
Although the taste was not as good as the fresh osmanthus flowers, it was still a novelty to be able to eat the osmanthus cake in spring. The ladies loved to eat it, so it naturally did not affect the business of Hundred Flowers Hall.
Therefore, the Hundred Fragrance Court's Gui Hua Cake was bought by a long queue every day. If they didn't go there early, it would be normal for them to wait one or two hours.
Aunt Li's gaze fell on the small words written outside the package, and retracted her gaze from the three words' Hundred Incense House '.
"Eldest Miss is really considerate. For a younger cousin like Second Miss, to be able to wait so long in order to buy a packet of osmanthus cake for Second Miss is really touching."
She sarcastically said a few words, but An Lingge pretended not to hear it, and continued to smile, "Aunt Li, don't praise me, if not, when I go to Grandmother's place, I will be praised to the skies by Grandmother."
Mingxin brought out another item at the right time, lowering her head and frowning. "Miss has prepared the things for the madame. You can go to Qingfeng Courtyard now."
She was holding onto a embroidered box, but Madam Li could not see what was in it. Just looking at An Lingge's deliberately mystifying appearance made her feel annoyed.
He immediately left the house and put on such a kind and generous front, as if she was the only one in the house who knew how to take care of her grandmother and care for her little sister. This made Yi Er, who was acting this way, speechless.
The Madam Li's expression darkened even more, she was unable to sit down at An Lingge's place anymore. She immediately went back to her own courtyard and called for An Lingyi, urging her to curry favor with the old mistress, and to rope in his second wife's sisters.
The chance to win An Lingyi's heart came quickly.
A few days after An Lingge left the Duke Palaces that day, An Yingcheng called everyone from the Duke Palaces over.
"The Emperor has already ordered for people to build Jingdu Academy. He has ordered for all the children of officials of the middle and higher ranks to study there."
He was sitting in a chair, his normally dignified face a little solemn.
"Where do both men and women study?" Madam Wang was the first to ask, and it was precisely because her son was going to take the examination that she followed the old lady back to Prince An's Palace. Now that the emperor had given this order, Madam Wang was the one she was most worried about.
Her eldest son, An Linghao, was fifteen years old and had already passed the Elementary Scholar examination. Originally, he had invited a teacher from the private school to teach him, but if he were to suddenly change places and start studying, something could happen to him.
Second Old Master An Yinghao coughed awkwardly, only then did Madam Wang react. The emperor's orders were directed at officials above the middle tier of the imperial court, An Yinghao had only asked them for permission this year, and found a casual job with a sixth tier book, naturally not including it.
Which is to say, among the people who wanted to go to Jingdu Academy, there should have been Prince An's direct descendant An Lingjun, his direct daughter An Lingge, as well as Madam Li's An Lingyi, An Lingyuan, and the Wei clan's An Lingyu.
The emperor had ordered for the children of officials of the middle grade and above to enter the Jingdu Academy. Didn't that mean that Hereditary Prince Mu would also be there to study?
Why was An Lingge's life so good, she had the advantage right from the moment she was born, and was merely stronger than him by being reincarnated, suppressing him at every turn. Now that she could go to Jingdu Academy, he could not!
Her young and harmless face was slightly twisted, but she still unwillingly asked, "Uncle, could it be that only the sons and daughters of officials above the third rank are allowed to go? Little Xue likes her big sister and wants to learn together with her. "
Her words made people's hearts soften. The madame looked at her with a pained look, but she seemed to have thought of something and did not speak.
An Yingcheng's gaze swept across everyone before speaking, "The Emperor has ordered for the children of officials of the middle tier and above to go to the Jingdu Academy to learn, if anyone else wishes to come, they can pass the Jingdu Academy entrance test."
Initially, he wanted to advise An Lingxue and the others not to try anything strange and hurriedly entered the Jingdu Academy. However, when he saw the happy faces of the old lady and An Yingkang, he could only swallow the words that were in his mouth.
An Lingge seemed to be calmly sitting on her seat, but in reality, her hands were tightly clenched together, and sweat was forming on her palms.
If the emperor gave such an order, wouldn't it mean that the Junge would also come to the Jingdu Academy? Wouldn't she be able to see the Junge everyday then?
Perhaps the Emperor will even allow the Junge to leave the palace and return to the palace!
Her hands were trembling from excitement. Aunt Wei, who was sitting beside her, let out a long sigh when she saw her lose control of herself.
In the end, the young miss was still young and hadn't gone through so many hardships, so she couldn't see the arsenic beneath the honey.
She hugged An Lingyu who was in her embrace, her expression changed a few times but she still asked in the end, "I wonder if Second Young Master will come to the Academy later on?"
Although he was the eldest son of An Yingcheng, the An Ling Hao that was born from Madam Wang was even bigger than him. Originally, their Prince An's Palace only consisted of a single family, so An Lingjun was naturally the eldest young master.
The words of the Aunt Wei silenced the room for a moment. An Yingcheng glanced at her with a face devoid of emotion, and said, "Jun'er is going to read it for the prince. If the prince didn't come, then naturally Jun'er wouldn't have gone as well."
This matter depended on the emperor's wishes, but who in this world could grasp the thoughts of the quasi Emperor? Anyone who could see through the emperor's thoughts would have long been a ghost on the road to the Yellow Springs.
An Lingge slowly loosened her grip, and the corner of her mouth pulled out a bitter smile.
As expected, it was still too early to be happy. How could Junge come out of the palace so easily?
