The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 186 The Manipulator Behind the Scenes

At this moment, she looked at everyone with feigned surprise: "I thought you were all clueless about subjects that are only good at certain subjects, but you all seem quite confident. Why don't you tell me, which subject do you think you can pass?"

Students:...

They've passed several subjects, but most of them only know how to study. If you really test them on other subjects, they won't pass any of them.

Ok……

Actually, it's quite good to start taking exams in subjects you specialize in. If you fail the regular exams, you'll have another option.

After Zheng Xun's several rounds of explanations, most people had calmed down considerably. Knowing that their interests would not be affected, their desire to cause trouble had largely subsided.

At this moment, Zheng Xun's tone became sterner and even more forceful: "I know why you're making a fuss. If you feel it's unfair, you can wait. If you're dissatisfied, come over now, and I'll immediately pick out your exam papers and throw them away."

No one stepped forward.

Of course, this is not because they lack backbone, but because they are unwilling to let this opportunity slip away.

After a moment of silence, He Qize and the other two bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Princess."

Zheng Xun nodded slightly, watching them prepare to leave, but suddenly spoke up: "The three of you come in. If the others have nothing else to do, they can leave first."

The others thought Zheng Xun was going to settle scores with the three of them, and some of the more righteous ones quickly spoke up to plead for them.

Dean Cen's initial tension subsided only after seeing that the matter had been settled.

"Princess, please forgive my rudeness..."

"I didn't say I was going to do anything. Alright, stop worrying about those trivial things."

After Zheng Xun finished speaking, he led them inside.

After closing the door, Zheng Xun sat down at the table and waved to them with a smile: "Sit down."

There were three cups of tea placed opposite her, as if she had expected them to come.

They sat down and took a sip of tea, the water temperature just right for drinking.

In that instant, countless thoughts raced through their minds.

Zheng Xun pushed the plate of tea and snacks in front of him: "Try this, it's a popular pastry in the capital."

She pushed the food away without caring whether they ate it or not, and then started a live stream.

The three of them were shocked to see the light screen suddenly open before them: !!

Three cups of tea were spilled in shock, four of them were dropped.

Because the tea they spilled splashed into Zheng Xun's cup.

Zheng Xun looked at them in surprise: "Why are you so excited?"

The three of them remained silent, mainly because they couldn't express what they wanted to say.

Fortunately, they are young and have sharp minds.

Zou Xi forced a smile: "I just didn't expect the princess to be so approachable."

Zheng Xun frowned: "Was I really mean to you guys last time?"

It's not like we haven't met in private before; we've already hooked up. Why are you acting like it's the first time you've met her?

Zou Xi's mind was practically spinning before he managed to squeeze out, "No, no, I'm just a little excited to have boarded the princess's ship."

Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi quickly took the opportunity while tidying up the cups to explain to them.

The three of them finally calmed down a bit.

Zheng Xun is still waiting for their reply.

He Qize swallowed hard: "No, Zou Xi, my cup was knocked over."

Hu Weishan quickly chimed in, "Me too!"

Fortunately, Zheng Xun didn't dwell on this point.

"He Qize, Zou Xi, you did a great job today."

Hu Weishan, who wasn't named: ?

He Qize and Zou Xi quickly cupped their hands in greeting: "We dare not accept the princess's praise."

Hu Weishan: "What's going on?!"

He pondered this question for a long time, and finally realized something was wrong.

Logically speaking, his classmates shouldn't be so easily impulsive.

Zheng Xun is, after all, a member of the imperial family. If they cause trouble in front of her, and someone were to pin the label of assassin on them, they would surely lose their heads.

Once you hesitate, you have time to consider the pros and cons.

Once people think about it, they can grasp the deeper meaning behind Zheng Xun's words.

But why can't they sit still?

Of course, it's because someone instigated it.

The people who instigated them were the three people standing in front of Zheng Xun at that moment.

Okay, okay, so He Qize and Zou Xi were both acting, and only he was genuinely stupid, right?

Having figured all this out, his expression turned somewhat dejected.

He was thinking, somewhat deliriously: It's over! His life is over! Hehe, that's really great!

Seeing the somewhat manic smile on his face, He Qize and Zou Xi couldn't help but shudder, and then cautiously moved a little further away from them.

Zheng Xun didn't notice his unusual behavior. He glanced at the light screen out of the corner of his eye and took out two name cards for He Qize and Zou Xi.

“This is the name card from the Princess’s residence. Remember to contact me when you arrive in the capital,” she paused, somewhat embarrassed. “However, the Princess’s residence is not yet completed. Go to Aunt Jianyang’s place, and she will take you to the palace to see me.”

The two didn't answer, not because they were unwilling, but because they were attracted by the light screen.

Inside the light screen is a scene from the Imperial Study.

At this moment, the emperor was arguing with the crown prince.

Actually, Zheng Xun was also curious: how could the Crown Prince, with his temperament, possibly argue with the Emperor?

At this moment, the crown prince was kneeling on the ground, and the emperor stood in front of him with undisguised anger on his face.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the crown prince: "Say that again?"

"Your subject does not wish to!"

"You are the Crown Prince! If you don't want to perform the ancestral rites, who will?"

According to the tradition of Dayong, an ancestral worship ceremony is held every New Year.

For ordinary families, ancestor worship is a family matter, but for the royal family, it is a matter of state.

On that day, all the important officials, nobles and marquises of the court would gather together, and the common people would also gather in the distance to watch the emperor and empress open the Temple of Heaven, worship their ancestors, and pay homage to the gods.

In such a setting, the person standing on the Emperor and Empress, even if not the Crown Prince now, is a shoo-in for the position.

If no one is chosen, the position can remain vacant, but the Great Yong Dynasty is not without a crown prince.

However, the matter of ancestor worship was just mentioned in court today, and after court, the crown prince knelt before the emperor and said that he would not go.

The prince lowered his head, but even the top of his head revealed his stubbornness.

"Anyone is fine, but I'm not willing."

The emperor was furious and raised his hand to strike him.

But in the end, the slap did not fall on the crown prince.

He was so angry that he simply kicked the chair next to him to pieces.

[Tsk tsk, Father's foot must be hurting a lot right now. I just saw his face contort for a second.]

Zheng Xun muttered to himself, and looked at the two people opposite him with some surprise when he saw that they did not accept the invitation.

Does this mean they look down on it?

She frowned, preparing to take back the calling card.

At this moment, the two realized what was happening and hurriedly snatched the name card.

Zheng Xun was a little confused: "I thought you didn't want it."

He Qize quickly waved his hand: "How could that be!"

Just kidding, this is Princess Yuanjia's calling card, no one else can even dream of having it.

In the Dayong Dynasty, with this calling card, they would have the right to directly visit the princess. They weren't fools; they wouldn't turn down connections that were offered to them.

Zou Xi explained without changing his expression, "Princess, please forgive me. I was too surprised to react just now."

He Qize nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, me too."

In reality, they were so startled by what was happening in the sky that they didn't notice what Zheng Xun had done at all.
