The earnestness of the two spoiled young men had an unexpectedly large impact on the outside world.

Finally, some other spoiled young masters, unable to bear the pressure any longer, came knocking on the door.

"Luo Jie, Li Xin, what's wrong with you two? You're studying like those bookworms! My old man gave me a good scolding at home because of you!"

Chen Jiaming glared at Luo Jie with annoyance. He and Luo Jie had some acquaintance and Luo Jie was considered his friend.

Looking at the angry Chen Jiaming, Luo Jie still couldn't resist showing off.

"Hahaha, isn't it right that you get scolded by your dad? Now that I've started studying, I get praised by both my dad and my mom, and my dad even promised that I can attend the palace banquet next time!"

Chen Jiaming keenly discerned two words from Luo Jie's words: "Palace Banquet!"

Like Roger, he was one of the people who had accompanied his father to the last Princess's birthday banquet and met His Majesty.

His behavior last time was outrageous, so naturally his father wouldn't allow him to go to the palace again.

So when he heard that Roger's method would allow him to attend the palace banquet and see His Majesty again, his eyes lit up especially.

...

Soon, Luo Jie and Li Xin, two people who couldn't hide their intentions, were found out about their purpose. The news spread from one person to another, and all the playboys in the academy became serious, studied hard, and tried to persuade their fathers to attend the palace banquet.

Those who already had good grades put in even more effort, studying all day long.

Hehe, some of those spoiled brats are quite something. Once they pass the imperial examinations and achieve a high ranking, they can directly meet His Majesty and serve him. They are the people His Majesty appreciates most!

And so, a wave of enthusiasm for learning began to sweep through Bailu Academy. The children of the powerful and wealthy started to study diligently, and the pressure from them forced even some ordinary students who knew nothing to work harder.

Most of them even learned how to use the quiz book without any instruction.

Luo Jie looked at Li Xin affectionately, his own eyes also showing the same dark circles: "Good brother, your dark circles are even worse. You still need to rest. Don't study when you get home."

Li Xin: "Yeah, yeah, you too, good brother. Take your time with your studies, we will definitely see His Majesty."

...

After their heartfelt conversation, the two friends turned and went straight back to their study in their own courtyard.

At different times, the two said to the page in unison, "Quickly prepare my books, I'm going to the study to study. Oh, and set up a bed too."

The page asked in confusion, "Huh? Young master, didn't you say you were going to rest well when you got back to the manor?"

"Rest? What rest? We need to study hard and crush Luo Jie/Li Xin. We need to overwhelm him with our scores. The old man will definitely like me even more then, hahaha."

Pageboy: "..."

The scroll is scrolling outside the palace, and it's also scrolling inside the palace.

Qingyin occasionally watched her four sisters studying in the Imperial Study and was surprised to discover that her third sister had a talent and hard work in reading. Compared to her three sisters, who were only half-understanding the same book, her third sister had already mastered it thoroughly.

Qingyin was even happier to discover the potential of her third sister. She then asked Lin Chaozong to give her the third sister extra help with her studies. In her spare time, she also prepared four sets of exam papers for the four sisters.

The four sisters: "..."

Looking at the thick stack of papers in Master Lin's hand, the group was already numb.

Go ahead and take the test, they can do it, boohoo.

After checking on her four sisters' studies, Qingyin turned her attention to the unusual movements of the Northern Barbarians.

Based on memory, the Northern Barbarians will probably start their war around October.

Although the young emperor may win this battle, many people died in his previous life.

The root cause lies in the fact that in October, the northern barbarians are familiar with the geographical location and snowy environment.

This time, it's Qingyin's turn, and Qingyin won't fight a battle she's not confident of winning.

"Your Majesty, the blueprint you mentioned has been developed. The gunpowder is extremely powerful. If you throw it, it's like a thunderbolt from the sky, blasting the entire artificial mountain into pieces."

Wei Chengming looked at Qingyin with unusually intense eyes and said.

Qingyin nodded calmly, "Hmm, not bad. Let's call it landmine. Keep this one safe. Also, remember to keep an eye on the fleet of ships at sea and search for the cotton carefully."

Wei Chengming bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
