Fei Wan forgot for a moment that she wanted to refute him, and even Gu Ruozhao did not expect her to stand up suddenly.

Fei Wan turned her head unnaturally.

She originally just wanted Gu Ruozhao to change his attitude, but now, with her playful behavior on the day of the audition and this time, she might have become a pervert in Gu Ruozhao's eyes.

Finally, she took the initiative to break the silence: "I have thought that it would be beneficial for Fengming if men could learn these things. As for calling you here this time, it is simply because I think your brother is quite talented. If he is trained, perhaps the Gu family will have more than one General Gu."

"That's all."

As if to cover up her embarrassment, Fei Wan explained, regardless of Gu Ruozhao's reaction.

Fei Wan thought of two possibilities. He might suspect that she had bad intentions, or he might question her actions.

Perhaps for a moment, she heard him murmur,

"That's all?"

Gu Ruozhao's slightly cold voice sounded in Fei Wan's ears, causing Fei Wan to look over.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, he seemed to have shed his previous disguise and was no longer distant and cold.

"I...just feel that Your Majesty is different from before."

In the past, Feng Feiwan's eyes were filled with a thirst for power. Even the emperor couldn't hide it.

Now she would react like this...

I will explain these things so that he doesn't feel offended.

It's really... cute.

Just like the osmanthus cake that day, compared to the usual sweetness, it had a different kind of freshness.

Gu Ruozhao withdrew his gaze. He must be crazy to have such an idea.

"Isn't it good to be alone like this?"

Fei Wan asked back.

Gu Ruozhao did not respond directly. He curled his lips slightly, and the shadow from his drooping eyelashes obscured the emotions in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please explain your decision to me in detail."

…

Fei Wan brought up this idea in the court the next day, causing an uproar.

"Your Majesty...this is against the rules."

Feng Jinlin was not as arrogant as usual, but she was still the first to stand up and oppose such a proposal. At the same time, some ministers also echoed her.

Fei Wan seemed to be lost in thought, and replied to her as if he had thought about it seriously.

"Oh? The Regent thinks this is against the rules? Does Fengming Law forbid men from learning these things?"

Feng Jinlin was speechless for a moment.

Even if it's not in the law,

This is clearly unreasonable. Men should not show their faces in public, nor should they learn things that only women can learn.

Feng Jinlin couldn't understand why this girl seemed like a different person in such a short period of time?

In addition to learning to threaten her, he also came up with these messy measures.

She suddenly remembered that although Gu Ruozhao could usually tolerate Feng Feiwan's excessive behavior, this time the action involved the Gu family, so he certainly didn't want to be involved.

Feng Jinlin didn't care about Fei Wan's face and brought up the topic to Gu Ruozhao in the court.

"Perhaps in my humble opinion this is inappropriate, but the Prime Minister is extremely talented. Why don't you ask your Majesty what he thinks?"

Feng Jinlin was full of confidence. Based on her guess, she waited for Gu Ruozhao to agree with her.

After all, in Feng Jinlin's view, Fei Wan proposed these measures for no reason. Gu Ruozhao only has Gu Linghuan as a relative in his family, so he would not take risks but would seek stability.

Fei Wan couldn't bear to break Feng Jinlin's fantasy, so she looked at Gu Ruozhao cooperatively.

Everyone's eyes were on Gu Ruozhao. If it were an ordinary person, they would have felt uncomfortable, but he raised his eyes calmly.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed inappropriate..."

Feng Jinlin breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing went wrong here.

Feng Jinlin felt relieved and only heard Gu Ruozhao's clear voice.

"If I am the only one making the exception, I'm afraid the others will be dissatisfied. It would be better to expand the scope to include only those who are suitable for study."

Feng Jinlin was stunned where he was.

What's going on?

This...why is Gu Ruozhao so abnormal?

"Then... do you still have any objections?"

Fei Wan glanced at the people in the hall. The ministers were at a loss in the face of this situation. Feng Jinlin, the leader, had dug a hole for himself, and it was impossible to stop it now.

"Your Majesty is wise."

All the ministers bowed their heads in agreement.

The passage of this decision was also thanks to Gu Ruozhao, otherwise it would not have been possible without any obstacles.

Fei Wan felt slightly better when he saw Feng Jinlin's depressed expression.

She originally thought that Gu Ruozhao had changed his mind at the last minute, but she never thought that he would actually join forces with her to play a trick on the Regent.

Although it was unnecessary, she seemed to have discovered another side of Gu Ruozhao, which did not seem so boring after all.

…

Gu Ruozhao stood up, but was unexpectedly met Fei Wan's gaze.

Although it was only for a moment and Fei Wan quickly looked away, Gu Ruozhao did not miss the smile in her eyes.

Now, looking over, it had vanished. In order to show her authority in front of everyone, she naturally looked very serious.

That smile was filled with praise and admiration...it seemed as if it was only meant to be shown to him.

Is this a compliment to him?

But as it happens, he was the only one who discovered it.

Feng Jinlin couldn't guess what they were doing now, but it was so obvious in the court. If Feng Jinlin found out, he would know that they had conspired to do this for a long time.

She doesn't shy away from...

Gu Ruozhao just felt that he was very strange. He used to hate these schemes the most, but now he was considering her.

…

After leaving the court, return to Gu Mansion.

Gu Ruozhao received another osmanthus cake from someone.

But this time it was not delivered openly, but secretly.

He never accepted these gifts, especially from her, but he accepted it this time.

However, the moment he saw it, Gu Ruozhao felt for some reason that there was osmanthus cake inside.

As expected...

It really is osmanthus cake.

Gu Ruozhao: ...

When did she learn to bribe people using only osmanthus cake?

childish.
