Chapter 5 Lottery Assessment
Under the equally puzzled eyes of several people, Shen Yunchu forced a smile, and shook his head pretending to be relaxed: "It's okay, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

She stopped talking and turned her head to continue fiddling with the flowers and plants on the table. The few of them looked at each other. Shen Yunchu was used to being alone, with a cold and slow temper. They had long been used to it and didn't take it seriously. Continuing to talk and laugh, only Pei Xueyan looked at Shen Yunchu's back thoughtfully.

As if thinking of something, she left the group of people and moved to Shen Yunchu's side, "I heard that you came out of the palace very late at the palace banquet, did you see any suspected murderers?"

The movements of Shen Yunchu's hands stopped again, this Pei Xueyan was interested in everything, especially this kind of "supernatural event" that sounded weird and frightening.

Shen Yunchu only felt a sting in his heart, and forced himself to be calm: "It was indeed very late when I came out that night, but I didn't meet anyone except the guards in the palace. I was a little scared when I fell, you Don't scare me."

Seeing the uneasiness on her face, Pei Xueyan sneered, "Okay, I'm teasing you, why are you so nervous?"

At this time, the sister's teasing came from behind: "Look at what you said, if Susu saw the murderer, would she still be able to appear here safe and sound? I'm afraid she would have become the soul of the murderer long ago."

Immediately, there was a burst of bright laughter from behind, Shen Yunchu lowered his eyes, barely pulled the corners of his mouth, pinched the flower branch in his hand, he was so terrified that he really couldn't laugh.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to inspect the school today, do you think you will come to the women's house?" Everyone changed their subject slightly, talking about the inspection.

Pei Xueyan casually picked up a plum blossom on the table and knocked it on the girl's head. The girl turned her head in dissatisfaction, glared at her, and heard Pei Xueyan tease: "What? , this side of the women's house has always been inspected by the eldest princess, what are you thinking about?"

The girl snorted dissatisfiedly, pouted her lips, and pouted her lips shyly amidst the laughter of the crowd, fiddling with the flowers and plants on the table.

This school was run by He Taifu, the teacher of the Emperor Sheng'an. It accommodates the children of officials and royal families. It is divided into men's and women's houses. The two houses are different. , martial arts, embroidery, flower arranging, and tea tasting by the hostess.

Originally, Taifu He personally brought people to inspect the achievements of the students. Later, Taifu He was getting old, and his movements often changed, so this task fell on the prince Bai Yuheng and the eldest princess Bai Wanning.

Shen Yunchu frowned slightly, and turned to look at Pei Xueyan, "His Royal Highness, are you coming to inspect? When will it happen?"

"Yesterday." Pei Xueyan said, "That's right, you didn't come yesterday, so you didn't know about it. Mr. Chen said it when school was over yesterday. It's strange to say that you should have come the day before yesterday, but probably something happened. It was delayed, so it was changed to today."

"Really..." Shen Yunchu smiled, thoughtful, but didn't say much anymore, recalling that when she was chatting with her mother in the courtyard yesterday morning, people from the school had come, even though they said they were here To visit Shen Yunchu's condition, but his words were full of inquiries.

Sure enough, the people from the academy left the general's mansion at noon, and the news of the inspection in the afternoon reached the academy. She returned to school today, and Bai Yuheng's inspection tour was also chosen today. How can there be such a coincidence?
Shen Yunchu felt a little uneasy, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the classroom, and there was another noise from all around, "Go, go, the master is here." While talking, a group of girls hurried back to their seats.

The next moment, I saw a middle-aged woman walking into the classroom from the outside. She was Mrs. Chen who taught Shen Yunchu to arrange flowers and drink tea with all the officials. No matter where you stop, you feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The hall was suddenly silent, Mrs. Chen's eyes were indifferent, and he glanced at the ladies of the family present, "According to what I said yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess came to inspect together. Now that we have arrived at the main hall, I would like to invite all the ladies to follow the old lady before leaving." Go to the palace."

As soon as these words came out, except for Shen Yunchu, all the ladies looked at each other, their faces were full of unconcealable joy and enthusiasm.

"If we go to the hall together, does that mean His Royal Highness is also here?"

"If the people in the men's room are here, His Royal Highness must be there."

……

Such excited discussions kept ringing in her ears, but Shen Yunchu's heart became more and more uncertain. She always had a premonition that this Bai Yuheng came after her, otherwise, there would be no such coincidence.

Could it be because of Wei Changle?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Shen Yunchu felt. He followed the group of sisters to the hall slowly, and stood at the end of the crowd, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

As soon as she stood firm, the familiar voice came from her ears suddenly: "Where is Susu? Where is my king's Susu? Didn't you say that you will come to the school today? Susu, Susu? Susu??"

Hearing this voice that had nothing to do with his superficial arrogance, Shen Yunchu only felt a chill in her heart. The hands placed in front of her were subconsciously mixed together, and she suddenly felt unwell. Bai Yuheng.

He was dressed in a bright yellow brocade tunic with a golden crown and hair. He was full of vigor, nobleness and arrogance. Bai Wanning sat side by side with him. She was dressed in red and had long hair. She was beautiful and dignified. Heroic.

"Master Chen, are you all here?" Bai Wanning asked.

Master Chen stood at the head and nodded slightly: "If you go back to the princess, the children in the men's house and the women's house are all here."

Men on the left and women on the right stood in two rows. Shen Yunchu stood at the end of the students in the girls' dormitory. He lowered his head calmly, frowning slightly, and his eyes were indifferent.

Suddenly, she heard again: "Oh, it turns out that at the end, it looks pretty good, and the illness should be cured, but why is his complexion still so bad? Will this Shen Jichang raise a daughter? Could it be partiality? Isn’t Susu good? I’ll settle the score with him later!”

"However, why is Susu standing so far away? Others want to be the first one, but why is she standing last, with so many people blocking her, how can I see this? If I can't see it, is it for nothing?"

Shen Yunchu was standing at the end of the crowd, in the originally quiet hall, but at this moment she only felt noisy and tired, as if the events of that night were still vivid in her memory, it would be strange to want to stand in front.

Shen Yunchu said: I am really sorry for your inconvenience!
While thinking about it, Bai Wanning's voice came from the hall: "Everyone, juniors and younger sisters, my palace and His Highness the Crown Prince have been ordered to come here to test what you have learned."

"There was only one assessment two days ago. After discussing with the Crown Prince, it was decided that a random check will be adopted this time, and one student will be selected from each of the men's and women's dormitories for separate assessment."

"For the sake of fairness, everyone will draw lots to decide."

Immediately afterwards, the father-in-law who was with him at the side presented the lottery prepared in advance, and let all the princes and ladies line up to draw.

There are always people who are happy about this kind of thing and some people are worried. They hope to be selected because, if they are selected, it means that they have a chance to spend time with the crown prince alone. If they seize this opportunity and make the crown prince look at them differently, it will not be a problem to enter the East Palace.

I don’t want it, it’s probably because I’m not good at what I’ve learned. If I fail the spot check, let alone let the prince look at me differently, I’ll inevitably be punished. If it’s more serious, I won’t necessarily hurt my family. To say the least is also a board.

After all, those who can enter this school to study are at least the sons and daughters of fourth-rank officials' families, and their performance is directly related to the honor and face of the family.

In other words, if the child does not learn well, the parents will also be implicated.

Those who have confidence in themselves naturally hope to show more, and those who do not learn well hope that they will never be drawn.
