Chapter 112 Extra Chapter: Sky Screen Cinema 18

Since Ruyi was placed under house arrest, everyone outside the palace has felt refreshed. Although they can learn less about the movements of the previous dynasty, they are also less likely to be poisoned by its influence.

As a result, Yin Zhi also returned to normal, staring at the sky without blinking, showing no fear whatsoever.

He has grown up and evolved; he is no longer the same Aisin-Gioro Yinzhi!

There's nothing left to trouble him!

That's what he thought and that's what he said.

However, Yinzhen and Yinsi exchanged a glance, their expressions unreadable. This scene felt strangely familiar; the last one to be proven wrong was Yinzhen.

Seeing how energetic Third Brother was, they didn't say anything, only hoping that this feeling would last a little longer.

Fortunately, the heavens seemed to favor Yin Zhi as well.

Even after Ruyi's confinement ended, her low rank and reluctance to go out greatly reduced the likelihood of her causing trouble.

Although they still like to say some "royal words," people's tolerance for them has improved.

Not only was she unharmed, but we also gleaned a lot from her words.

For example, the Ninth Prince's daughter was skilled in business, enriching the national treasury, and was granted the title of "Feng Beile"; the Tenth Prince's daughter was skilled in firearms, developing firearms, and was granted the title of "Rui Beile".

"Ninth Brother, your daughter looks just like you!"

Yin couldn't help but sigh. Yin Tang proudly puffed out his chest. This was not only an endorsement of his daughter, but also an endorsement of his business acumen. Otherwise, Hongli wouldn't have been able to be broadcast on Tianmu; he really had foresight.

Glancing proudly at the group of short-sighted fellows around him, Yinzhen patted Yin on the shoulder: "Of course, you're not bad either. Your daughter doesn't resemble you."

"Then... wait? Ninth Brother, what do you mean?"

Yin suddenly realized what was happening and asked unhappily.

“Don’t worry about the details,” Yinzhen put his arm around his shoulder. “Look at the others, then look at the two of us. In the end, we are still the better ones!”

"That's true!"

Yin was instantly appeased, his face beaming with joy. The two of them, facing their brothers, were so proud they didn't know what to do.

Is this reasonable?

Everyone fell silent. Who could have imagined that among so many outstanding princes of this generation, it would be the ninth and tenth princes who overtook each other by relying on their daughters!

Indeed, education is really important!

"Girls' education is surprisingly useful."

Yinreng couldn't help but sigh; even though he had some suspicions, he hadn't expected it to have such a significant impact. Besides the merchants and firearms, there were also grafting techniques, water-powered windmills, and cement road paving…

Even just a few words are enough to make one imagine how much benefit these innovations would bring to the Qing Dynasty if they were put into practice.

Kangxi nodded in agreement. With the reminder from the celestial canopy, he naturally wouldn't be bound by the distinction between men and women anymore. To an emperor, people in the world were only divided into useful and useless; what difference did it make whether they were men or women?

Moreover, after watching Ruyi, with this precedent as a warning, others will be able to better appreciate the preciousness and significance of women's education.

Of course, this matter is different from banning foot binding and abolishing shaving; it cannot be resolved with just an imperial decree. The internal arrangements still need to be carefully considered and discussed.

Kangxi had only stated his position; the astute ministers had already begun to consider the specific content of their memorials.

Suo'etu frowned in thought. Did the Hesheli clan have any eligible, seemingly intelligent princesses? This position needed to be secured for the Crown Prince...

Mingzhu was also pondering. The eldest prince's character was simply unacceptable. Instead of pushing him, she should push her granddaughter. Rongruo's daughter had likely inherited his intelligence. With proper nurturing, she might even be able to earn a title...

Tong Guowei counted on his fingers, wondering which women in his clan were suitable for training. Although he was determined to follow his nephew, the Emperor, it wouldn't hurt to go with the flow and cultivate some female relatives. The Tong family, being the Emperor's maternal clan, might produce a role model among women…

Most of the ministers fell into deep thought, already imagining the future glory of their families, while Ma Qi remained indifferent.

Is having a daughter such a big deal?

Alright, having a daughter is quite something, I'll go back and urge them to have one today! He refuses to believe that such a large family as the Fucha clan can't produce a daughter!

Following the girls' school, there were also girls' schools, and the imperial concubines and consorts also left the palace to serve as teachers in the girls' schools.

Seeing this news from the sky, not a single person frowned. When it comes to things that bring benefits, everyone accepts them quickly.

Then, on the first day of the ninth month of the third year of Qianlong's reign, everyone was surprised to see Hongli (Emperor Qianlong) appoint his eldest son Yonglian as the crown prince.

After all, Hongli was in his prime, and his eldest son Yonglian was only seven years old.

This is different from Yinreng's situation. Everyone knew that political factors played a major role in Yinreng's appointment as crown prince.

Therefore, upon seeing this, both Kangxi and Yinreng had mixed feelings.

Emperor Kangxi saw that Hongli was not greedy for power, while Yinreng saw that Hongli had a father's love.

"Am I the only one who thinks that Hongli is trying to slack off?"

Yin muttered something under his breath, which was overheard by Yin Tang, who gave him a whack with the elbow. "Yes, yes, yes, only you think so. Do you even think it's okay in your heart?"

Feeling wronged, Yin rubbed his stomach and swallowed the words in his mouth. This was probably the loneliness of being the only one sober when everyone else was drunk.

No one understands him, the tenth brother; he is truly wise in disguise!

In the blink of an eye, another year of imperial concubine selections has passed, and only Yehenara Yihuan and Lu Muping have entered the harem. Ruyi, rarely participating in a large-scale event, joins everyone in paying respects to the Empress Dowager.

After paying their respects, Jin Yuyan warmly invited the two to visit Qixiang Palace. On the way, they encountered Ruyi and were angered by her attitude.

"Greetings, Consort Jia," Ruyi said, flicking her handkerchief. "Consort Jia is certainly kind-hearted; Qixiang Palace must be bustling with activity."

Jin Yuyan sneered: "Compared to Consort Nara, who in this palace isn't warm-hearted? And which palace isn't more lively than Yanxi Palace?"

"Yanxi Palace is only for the Emperor's celebration. I will not disturb Consort Jia's reception of the new bride. I will take my leave."

“Sister Jiapin,” Lu Muping said, watching Ruyi’s departing figure, and couldn’t help but ask, “How old is this Noble Lady Nara this year?”

Yi Huan put it more tactfully: "This Lady Nara's style of dress is indeed quite unique."

At this moment, the people outside the canopy had the same dark expression as Jin Yuyan, feeling awkward as if their family scandals had been aired in public.

Even if they are unwilling to admit it, the entire Qing Dynasty has been shown on the screen, and Ruyi has become a dark chapter in the history of the Aisin Gioro and Ulanara clans!

Even Emperor Kangxi was somewhat worried that Ruyi might become an excuse for some people to overthrow the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty.

After all, looking at her clothes and appearance, he also felt a strong urge to oppose the Qing Dynasty!
