He adjusted his things and started today’s lesson.

All the second-year students were a little sleepy.

The textbooks were boring. No matter how brilliant Scholar Pei’s teaching was, his students were all just teenagers who were 14 or 15 years old. They were at an age where they would cause trouble. In addition, the weather in the autumn was making everyone lethargic and sleepy.

If it were any other teacher, they would definitely start reprimanding them with a ruler. However, Pei Lang was the gentlest person and never punished his students. Therefore, in his class, everyone was the bravest. Apart from Shen Qing, who was usually first in the class, everyone else was doing their own thing.

But today, Shen Miao was different.

She stared at Scholar Pei without blinking. She sat upright and seemed to be listening attentively. This was really unbelievable. Because she hated studying the most, she was not interested in books. It was already a miracle that she was not asleep, but she was actually listening to the class seriously.

Sitting at the same table with Shen Miao was a beautiful girl wearing a thin dress with embroidered chrysanthemums. She looked a little arrogant. Seeing Shen Miao like this, she couldn’t help but look surprised. From time to time, she would glance at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao couldn’t care less. In her previous life, she wasn’t interested in books. However, after she became the Empress, she had to pick up the books again in order to prove herself a qualified Empress.

She just wanted to try harder to see what kind of person Scholar Pei was.

Only then could she know what kind of method was more suitable to use on this person.

In the eyes of the girl beside her, her focused expression was already very unusual. After the math class ended and Pei Xiu left, Shen Miao looked away.

The girl beside her nudged her and said in surprise, “Shen Miao, are you possessed?”

“Why do you say that?” Shen Miao asked. The girl was called Feng Anning, the daughter of a high official.

......

Feng Anning had been pampered since she was young. However, in her previous life, Master Feng took the wrong side. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Master Feng was fired immediately. In order to protect their daughter, the Feng family had to marry her to a distant cousin. After that, the Feng family went downhill, and after Feng Anning got married, she did not have a good ending. That cousin was also a good-for-nothing. In less than a year after Feng Anning married into the family, he had a mistress and a son. He even called her a burden left behind by the Feng family.

Looking at the arrogant girl in front of her, Shen Miao felt sorry for her miserable ending.

Looking at the young men and women of Guangwen Hall now, Shen Miao felt like she was looking at her own children. It was difficult for her to be angry. Other than despicable people like Shen Qing and Shen Yue, most people were just children who had been spoiled. And these young men and women who had been pampered and raised would experience the cruelty of fate in the next ten years or so.

Seeing that she did not speak, Feng Anning was a little unhappy and said, “Are you deliberately ignoring me? Shen Miao, are you working hard for the test this month? I heard from your sister that you want to come out on top in this test to impress the Duke… Impress someone!”

“Test?” Shen Miao raised an eyebrow.
