Finally, she couldn't help but complain, "Mother and daughter are the same, each one has more ideas than the other! They're curious and want to try everything, which makes me worry."
The Ningxi Kingdom's ability to stand firm for a thousand years is no mere talk. This is due to the existence of many female regents from the royal family. These powerful regents possess immense power and wisdom, even rivaling the authority of an emperor.
So when Xiling Yun suddenly heard that Ji Wan was going to be the emperor, he was not too surprised. After all, people in their Xiling family had always been like this throughout their long history.
This was an ambition that had been ingrained in the Xiling family for thousands of years. He could understand it and was not surprised.
"Fu Guang is a girl with her own ideas. Don't worry, Father. I will help her. Furthermore, my people are well hidden by her side. They can protect her well and remain completely secretive. They will definitely not be discovered by Sister Fu Guang and cause her to dislike them."
Xilingci knew that with how much his father doted on his mother, he would certainly agree to Ji Wan's involvement in the brutal war for the throne. He also knew that his father would certainly let him help Fu Guang's sister, so he was not too surprised.
"Changsheng, send your mother and Fuguang some powerful people and the things they need to conquer the world. Don't let them suffer too much. Mingyuenu voluntarily spent so many years in the cold palace of Donglin Kingdom. No matter how much I feel for her, I can't change your mother's mind. Now she has finally come to her senses and moved out of the palace of Donglin Kingdom. Since that's the case, you should take good care of her."
Xiling Yun couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. No matter what, even though his sister Mingyuenu had fled Ningxi Country, they were still from the same mother and had grown up together. She had also left him such an excellent heir, and he was already very satisfied.
"Don't worry, Father. I'm already making arrangements. When Sister Fu Guang attacked Stone City earlier, she was so arrogant and adorable. She had the demeanor of a mother. If you saw that, you would definitely be happy."
Xilingci also likes his sister Ji Wan. After all, she is his mother's biological child. The blood relationship makes him, like his father, unable to let go of her for the rest of his life.
A hint of longing appeared in the eyes of Ningxi Emperor Xilingyun. He recalled the happy times he spent playing with his sister when he was young, and then nodded in agreement.
-----------------
Xiling Ci, also known by the courtesy name Changsheng, was the name Xiling Mingyue had thought of and decided upon before leaving Ningxi Kingdom.
When she left, Xiling Mingyue was still a child. Thirteen years have passed now, and I wonder if she still looks the same as she did back then.
It was also New Year's Eve. After the plague had wiped out the Northern Rong nation, the remaining men were essentially all young and strong. Bai Bo had already prepared these young and strong soldiers and set out for the border under cover of darkness.
The chill of deep winter has been hanging over the stone city. Just after the fifteenth day of the lunar year, Ji Wan asked Lin Chanhua and Tuoba Feng to draw a formation to maintain the temperature.
Then they collected the heavy snow that fell from the sky, made it into ice cubes, and placed them in the formation, ready to be taken out for sale and use in the summer.
The children of Moxiang Academy also started school one after another, and Ji Wan opened up enrollment quotas for the new class of Moxiang Academy, including Shicheng.
When the people of Shicheng learned that Moxiang Academy had started recruiting students, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
Even the children of the defeated people can go to school and even become immortals in the future!
After becoming an immortal and working under the royal family, finding a good future is really not just talk!
The common people were not stupid either. When they were receiving treatment in Qingshi Prefecture, they knew that as long as they entered the academy, they could become immortals, and it was so cheap to study.
They would naturally do their best to fight for their children to get an enrollment opportunity at Moxiang Academy. For a moment, the enrollment form in Pan Zhuo's hand floated into Moxiang Academy like snowflakes.
Lin Chanhua and Pan Zhuo were once again very busy, especially Pan Zhuo.
"Hey, Yuqing, what's with your dark circles? Haven't you slept for a few days?" Cui Min stared at Pan Zhuo with a playful look on his face and teased him.
"Go away! Just because your Stone City defenders are not busy doesn't mean my Moxiang Academy is idle. Seeing you, Cui Rucheng, so leisurely, makes me jealous."
Pan Zhuo had been so busy that he hadn't had a good rest for almost three days. He was so envious when he heard his colleagues teasing him like this that his teeth ached.
"Hahaha, Yuqing, Min has seen what those parents look like and they respect you very much. What's wrong with that?"
Cui Min stood by and made sarcastic remarks without any hesitation, which made Pan Zhuo so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and his goatee began to tremble. Then, unable to bear it any longer, he went to find Ji Wan.
"Your Highness! If you don't find a few teachers who can help the academy, I will crash into death in front of you today. I'm going to die anyway, so crashing into death is better than dying of exhaustion!"
Ji Wan avoided Pan Zhuo's threatening gaze guiltily, pretending to be busy rummaging through the pile of papers on the table which had only a few sheets of paper.
"Your Highness...! You don't take it seriously? I will definitely crash to death in front of you today! I will let you know what kind of life I have been living these days!" After yelling, Pan Zhuo pretended to be angry and rushed towards the pillar.
Sure enough, before he could take two steps, Lin Chanhua beside him stopped him hypocritically: "Wait a minute, Mr. Yuqing! His Highness must have found someone to help, right?"
As soon as the words fell, all the people in the room, except Cui Min, stared at Ji Wan.
Ji Wan was so frightened by the dark circles under his eyes that he took three steps back. "Ahem, ahem, gentlemen, don't be anxious. This kind of situation is temporary. Hehe, it will be fine in the future! Just hold on a little longer!"
Everyone: "Haha."
Ji Wan: “…”
Finally, Ji Wan succumbed to the dark circles under the eyes of his subordinates: "Okay, okay. I will post a notice in the city to recruit people now. Okay, everyone, please stop looking at me with those ungrateful eyes. My heart can't bear it!"
The subordinate group finally relaxed.
Indeed, Ji Wan had already noticed the lack of manpower, even without his subordinates telling him. However, there was no real solution. There were many people in this world who couldn't read, and those who could actually read and write were rare.
It is already rare and precious, how could it be possible for a border state like Ji Wan to get it?
Ji Wan could only complain in her heart: discrimination is everywhere. This is a hateful illiterate world.
There is no way. Even if you search and select in the city and lower your requirements, there are still very few people who can read and write.
The stone city is still under siege by enemy troops. Ji Wan cannot open the city gate and let outsiders in. If a few spies sneak in, it will be disastrous.
Finally, under the resentful gazes of his subordinates, Ji Wan could only tell them the news bitterly.
This caused the advisors, especially Pan Zhuo, to glare at him angrily.
