The emperor's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "You've been in school for so long, and this is all you've learned? Who taught you this?"

He had heard Mr. Gao complain before, and he didn't think it was a big deal at the time, but now it sounds very outrageous, yet a little funny.

If the Second Prince or the Fourth Prince dared to say this, the Emperor would definitely not have this attitude, but he had no expectations of An Jingzhi at all, and his bottom line had been lowered again and again. He had already prepared himself mentally, and he was still able to remain calm at this time.

An Jingzhi said confidently, "Why do I need anyone to teach me this? I learned it on my own."

Although he misinterpreted the Analects, he did not instill this messy knowledge into his two good brothers.

"Are you quite proud?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and no one could tell whether he was angry or happy.

An Jingzhi felt the other party's momentum and restrained himself slightly.

"You must copy the Analects ten times. You must finish it in one month. I will then personally inspect it." The emperor originally thought that after he finished speaking, the little monkey would try to bargain with him, but he didn't expect that the other party would just nod quietly, which made him a little bored.

He suddenly thought of something and added, "Don't let anyone help you copy. If I find out..." He didn't say the rest of the words, but he knew that the other party understood what he meant.

If he finds out, the punishment will definitely be doubled.

An Jingzhi just said "oh".

The emperor left, bewildered. This little brat hadn't bargained with him. He was only three years old and couldn't even hold a brush. He certainly wouldn't ask him to copy the Analects ten times in just one month. That was impossible.

He said it originally intending to wait for the other party to beg him, but the other party's reaction was beyond his expectations.

The people from the Fourth Prince's faction all looked at An Jingzhi with gloating eyes, "Punish me by copying the Analects ten times. I want to see if you can finish it. If you can't finish it by then, you'll be in trouble!"

An Jingzhi was in a fantastic mood. If he was to be punished by copying the Analects, he would definitely have to do it at home. That way, he wouldn't have to go to school! He could sleep in as long as he wanted!

Although he was very happy in his heart, he still looked very sad on the surface.

Jiang Wenbo and Cai Mingting didn't know what he was planning, so they came over to comfort him, "It's okay, Fifth Prince. Wait until Mingting and I finish copying—"

The Fourth Prince interrupted them, "So what if you've finished copying? Do you still want to help him?"

Jiang Wenbo and the other man stopped talking, feeling somewhat frustrated.

"What's it to you? You're the one dancing the most happily every day. No matter what happens, the emperor won't pay attention to you. Have you forgotten the lesson from last time?"

An Jingzhi's words hit the Fourth Prince right in the gut, making him so angry that he jumped up and down, but he couldn't say anything after talking for a long time.

When they arrived outside the school, An Jingzhi said to Jiang Wenbo and the others, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I have a way to handle it. When you two are done copying, you can come to the palace to play with me."

The two of them looked at An Jingzhi, who seemed very confident, and did not ask any more questions.

An Jingzhi thought about whether to tell the two of them this method.

But think about it, these two guys will become uneducated and dissolute playboys when they grow up, and they will be well-known in the capital. It is better to let them copy some books and be influenced by Confucius.

If he wants to do movable type printing, he definitely can't avoid Gu Sangyu. After all, any movement he makes in Fengluan Palace will be reported there.

After An Jingzhi told Gu Sangyu about being punished to copy the Analects ten times, she immediately became furious. "Why is he bullying me like this? Others are punished to copy it five times, but why is it ten times for you? He's picking on you! No! I'm going to ask him what he means by this!"

As he said this, he wanted to go out, but An Jingzhi quickly pulled him back.

She was completely oblivious to the fact that her son had distorted the teachings of Confucius and was filled with anger.

Of course, An Jingzhi's small body couldn't hold the other person back, but Gu Sangyu didn't want to hurt him, so he stopped only after being held back.

"Mother, it's okay! I have a way!"

Gu Sangyu squatted down with a puzzled look on his face. "What can you do? You can't ask someone to copy it for you. He will definitely check it carefully when the time comes."

An Jingzhi chuckled and explained the method of movable type printing.

Gu Sangyu and Xiaowan beside her were immediately stunned.

"Son! How did you come up with that?"

"It just suddenly occurred to me. Mother, can we print and sell these books?"

Xiaowan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, your highness, this is a good idea!"

Books in ancient times were very expensive, and most of them were copied by hand by poor scholars, which cost not only the paper but also the pen and ink.

If movable type printing was available, they would only need to carve out commonly used characters and would be able to print most books without having to make special plates.

Greatly reduces the cost of books.

Although the Gu family is a veteran in the army, they do not have much income. In the past, they could still rely on fighting, but now the emperor dares not let General Gu go out to fight.

Even the spoils of war, they dared not take a single cent.

Now the Gu Mansion only has some land rented to farmers to collect some crops, and a few shops that don't make much money. Other than that, there is not much income.

If they had movable type printing, as long as they kept the secret secret and didn't let anyone know, this business could continue.

It can also send a signal to the outside world that the Gu family is preparing to switch to civil service.

However, the details still need to be discussed with the family, and Gu Sangyu can't go out, so he lost his attention for a while.

Xiao Wan shared the burden, "Your Majesty, although we can't go out, can we let the old lady in? We didn't even let the old lady in for the birthday a few days ago. Now let's go talk to His Majesty, he will definitely agree."

Unless necessary, Gu Sangyu usually would not go to see that man, let alone ask him for help.

But since it was related to family matters, she finally nodded. It was impossible for them to live a life of luxury in the palace while her parents, brother and sister-in-law were counting money outside, right?

With this business, not only can they gain a good reputation among the officials, but they can also earn money to supplement their family expenses. This money comes from legitimate sources, and even if the emperor knows about it, he can't say anything to them.

"good."

That day, Gu Sangyu went to ask for an audience with the emperor.

The emperor looked at Gu Sangyu with a complicated expression. When he heard the palace servant say that the imperial concubine wanted to see him, he was a little surprised.

Gu Sangyu briefly explained her background, thinking that there was nothing serious, and Gu Sangyu's request was reasonable. The other party had indeed not seen her family for more than a year. He agreed to Gu Sangyu's request to invite Old Madam Gu to the palace.

After getting permission, Gu Sangyu retreated, with a calm expression from beginning to end.
