The sisters were whispering to each other, not noticing that two burning gazes in the crowd were fixed on their faces.

"When does Mr. Qu plan to propose marriage to the princess?"

Qu Wenzhao was watching intently when Xiao Qi's smiling voice sounded in his ears.

"Everything is up to the eldest sister."

Thinking about marrying the girl he loved soon, Qu Wenzhao's ears turned red so much that they almost bled.

Xiao Qi raised the corner of his mouth: "From now on, we can be considered relatives! Mr. Qu also seems to be a person who likes music, chess, calligraphy and painting. We can have a good exchange when we have time."

"It's my honor."

As he was speaking, the plaque unveiling ceremony of Zhaoxu Academy officially began.

Since the calligraphy was written by Emperor Kang himself and it was the largest academy in Dagan, the listing was personally handled by people from the Ministry of Rites.

After bowing to the literati's ancestors, the tablet of the Li family's ancestors was also moved to the Wenyu Pavilion behind the academy, and the plaque was hung on it by people from the Ministry of Rites.

As the plaque rose higher and higher, Qu Li's eyes became hotter and hotter.

She thought that if Li Ran were still alive, he would be very happy to see this scene.

When Xiao Xian turned his eyes, his gaze fell on Qu Li's face again, and he couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking at the moment.

Noticing his gaze, Qu Li looked over, then quickly looked away.

Xiao Xian felt a little lonely, his heart felt stuffy, and even his eyes became dim.

Kangdi saw all of this and became more determined to help his stupid son.

Although there were many court officials present who were good at flattery, because there were also many literati present today, these people who originally planned to flatter Emperor Kang had to restrain themselves.

"Qu Li, tell me about your future plans."

Qu Li walked forward with ease and grace, and expressed his vision for the academy's future.

When people heard that the academy would be handed over to Qu Wenzhao for management in the future, some people were naturally dissatisfied.

Qu Li sneered, "Wen Zhao is indeed very young, and due to his previous illness, he was unknown in the capital, but that doesn't mean he can't shoulder the responsibility of managing the academy!"

"Miss Qu, as the saying goes, 'If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!' There's also a saying, 'Don't take on a job if you don't have the skills!' Elder Li is indeed a senior respected by everyone in the world, but that doesn't mean Young Master Qu can manage the entire academy. After all, Young Master Qu is still young and needs experience."

Qu Li's eyes were cold as he stared coldly at the court official who was speaking.

"What Elder Yu said is really interesting! I initiated this academy, I also funded it, and the Yongshun Marquisate contributed the most. If Wen Zhao is not suitable to manage the entire academy, then who do you think can? Elder Yu?"

Her tone was frivolous and her eyes were contemptuous. Old Yu was so angry that his gray eyebrows and beard were about to curl up.

"It's not that I look down on Elder Yu. If we really compete, Elder Yu may not be able to beat Wen Zhao."

One of Mr. Yu's students immediately objected: "Ms. Qu, what you said is too much!"

"I'm just telling the truth, how can I go too far? Besides, being humble is important when dealing with people, but being overly humble when you meet someone who disrespects their elders is foolish!"

"you--"

"If Mr. Yu is worried that Wen Zhao won't be able to manage Zhaoxu Academy well, then he can compete with Wen Zhao."

Although Mr. Yu was angry about Qu Li's provocation, he still had to maintain a kind and gentle appearance.

On the other hand, his student was like a fighting cock, his eyes wide open, and he shouted sternly: "This kind of competition is simply humiliating Master Yu, so I'm here."

Qu Li folded his arms and looked the man up and down.

That contemptuous look seemed to tear him apart inch by inch, completely igniting the anger in his heart.

"Alright! Anyway, if you get embarrassed later, we promise not to mock you and we'll just forget about it."

"Qu Li, it's not good to be too arrogant! As a woman, you should be gentle and kind."

When Qu Wenzhao, who had always been gentle and kind, heard these words, the aura around him suddenly became sharp.

His eyes were cold and sharp, and his voice seemed to be chilled by ice: "If my eldest sister was as gentle as water, content to stay in the backyard, and only knew to obey her husband's orders every day, there would definitely not be the Zhaoxu Academy today!

"The fact that Zhaoxu Academy received the Emperor's inscription proves that the Emperor also recognizes Zhaoxu Academy. And what you just said was to belittle my elder sister! You denied everything she has done for Zhaoxu Academy!"

The young man was like a sharp sword at this moment. Although his back was still thin, he had an indomitable aura and wanted to use everything to protect Qu Li.

Qu Li felt warm in his heart, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Her younger brother, once that humble and pitiful little boy, has finally grown up!

Changle rushed out with a tense mouth, almost waving his fist to give him a pair of panda eyes.

"Hu Yan, this princess thinks your father gave you a really great name! It's so ridiculous, it's absolutely perfect for the occasion!"

"Princess Changle, you are a princess!" Hu Yan had been ridiculed by Qu Wenzhao, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing with anger. Now he was humiliated so bluntly by Changle that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

"This princess has been carefully taught by the Grand Princess since she was young. She taught me to be polite and courteous. It was also the Grand Princess who taught me that if a dog bites you on the street, you should either raise your stick to beat the dog into submission or turn around and run. You can't bite the dog back if it bites you!"

"you--"

Hu Yan pointed at Changle with trembling fingers.

"This princess was personally appointed by the Emperor, and you actually pointed your finger at me?! Where are your rules of etiquette and respect?"

Hu Yan's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Hu Yan!" Old Yu's face was filled with horror, and he quickly asked his attendant to call a doctor.

Qu Li was amused by Changle's powerful fighting ability. He glanced at the faces of all the court officials who were more or less dissatisfied, and said calmly, "Is there anyone who wants to compete with Wen Zhao?"

Everyone was indeed quite dissatisfied, but Hu Yan had rolled his eyes in anger before, and Emperor Kang had said nothing from beginning to end, which clearly showed that he was biased towards Qu Li.

Let’s not talk about whether they can win the competition with Qu Wenzhao, just the two lionesses Qu Li and Changle can tear them into pieces.

For a moment, the only voice in the entire Zhaoxu Academy was the worried and nervous voice of Old Yu.

"Ms. Qu, aren't you a very skilled doctor?" Someone asked, wanting Qu Li to check on Hu Yan.

"I am indeed a skilled doctor, but I am not a veterinarian."

"Hahaha!"

Changle was the first one who couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed until tears came out.

Qu Li glanced over with a warning look.

Changle stuck out her tongue at her.

In the end, Emperor Kang asked Eunuch Fu to find an imperial physician.

Hu Yan's condition is not too serious. In modern terms, it is just high blood pressure. He cannot get angry easily, otherwise he will easily suffer from cerebral hemorrhage.
