Chapter 164 The Academy is Completed



Sweetie wrapped the beauty pills in a box and gave them to Ruan Xicheng, who then had his guard accept them.

Based on the price sold to foreign countries, five courses of treatment should be worth 500,000 taels of gold.

Gu Lingchen went straight up to Tian Tian and said, "I'll pay for Young Master Ruan's money. I'll have A Sheng go to my palace to get the money and bring it over later."

"Thank you, Your Highness, but my men have already prepared the gold, so there's no need for you to spend any more money."

The Gem Kingdom has people stationed in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom specifically to purchase beauty pills for their Emperor. Since their Prince has come in person to buy them, they have naturally prepared gold in advance.

Seeing how extravagant they were, Liu Sisi decided to let him pay for it himself. If she offered to pay for it now...

Gu Lingchen is definitely going to be angry again. She can sense it; Gu Lingchen sees Ruan Xicheng as a rival in love.

She felt a little embarrassed; the person had only come to repay a debt of gratitude, yet so much trouble had arisen.

"Gu Lingchen, Young Master Ruan, I'm going back to the Princess's residence now. My parents are waiting for me!" With that, she fled as if she were escaping.

The atmosphere was so awkward that she didn't know how to stay there any longer. Ruan Xicheng hadn't even said he liked her, yet Gu Lingchen was reacting so strongly.

If I were to say a few words in support of Ruan Xicheng, Gu Lingchen, that jealous guy, would get angry again. It's better to stay away from them.

After Liu Sisi left, Gu Lingchen smiled and exchanged a few perfunctory words with Ruan Xicheng before bidding each other farewell.

The moment they turned their heads, their expressions changed instantly.

"Ah Sheng, go and investigate what kind of contact Ruan Xicheng has had with Sisi," Gu Lingchen instructed Ah Sheng.

"yes."

On the other side, Ruan Xicheng also instructed the people around him, "Go and find out how far things have progressed between Miss Sisi and this Crown Prince."

"yes."

The two left, each with their own thoughts.

Liu Sisi, however, bought a sugar figurine and went back to the princess's residence.

As soon as they entered, Liu Mingzhe threw himself at Liu Sisi, “Auntie, you’re finally back! I’ve missed you so much, I couldn’t even eat.”

Liu Sisi placed the sugar figurine in Liu Mingzhe's hand, saying, "You little rascal, you're getting better and better at talking. Here, this is a sugar figurine that your aunt bought for you."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Liu Dashi, Wu Shi, and Li Caiping all came out of the house when they heard the noise.

Li Caiping shouted to Liu Mingzhe.

"Xiao Zhe, your aunt is exhausted from going to the battlefield. Don't let your aunt carry you anymore. Come to your mother."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm not tired." Liu Sisi pinched Liu Mingzhe's cheek before putting him down.

Wu quickly stepped forward and looked Liu Sisi up and down carefully.

"My daughter is indeed unharmed. Thank you for protecting her, Snake Fairy. I will go to the altar to light some incense and set out some offerings in a while."

Liu Dashi looked at Liu Sisi and said, "My daughter has lost some weight and gotten a bit darker, but it's okay. She'll recover in a few days."

Liu Sisi then spent a cozy day at home.

At night, she used her magic brush to draw a circle and flew to a small country, where she dumped Emperor Guang Sheng's body at the gate of their palace.

In case they didn't know who it was, they even stuck a large piece of paper on his forehead with the words written on it.

The evil Emperor Guang Sheng is dead. You can vent your anger on his corpse. Once you've vented your anger, you can pass it on to other countries that have suffered under his persecution.

The journey to the Guang Sheng Emperor's body ended only after his bones were shattered. (This happened later.)

The following day, Emperor Yong'an issued an imperial edict ordering the establishment of girls' schools in various regions of the Tianlong Kingdom.

As expected, a large number of ministers knelt down, prompting Emperor Yong'an to reconsider.

They say that women can only stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children, and should not show their faces in public, lest they bring shame to their husbands' families.

Emperor Yong'an was so angry that he smashed his teacup.

"My imperial decree has been issued. Do you, my beloved ministers, think my decision is wrong? Do you think I am unworthy to be the emperor? Otherwise, how about I offer this position to one of you?"

"We dare not."

Seeing His Majesty's fury, they knelt down, bowing their heads low, and dared not utter another word of opposition.

"Your Majesty is wise. If women also have the opportunity to study and make contributions, even if they cannot enter the court as officials, they can still supplement their family income by learning more knowledge."

"Only when the overall living standards of the people of Tianlong Kingdom improve can our country demonstrate its prosperity and strength."

Gu Lingchen voiced his support.

"The Crown Prince is indeed farsighted. I have made up my mind about this matter, and it will be implemented from today."

"I may say one more word, but I have seen the real Serpent Immortal, and this is with his support. If any of you oppose me, you are opposing the Serpent Immortal. Think about it carefully!"

Emperor Yong'an's tone was somewhat smug, "So you're saying I've seen a real snake spirit? Have you seen one? And you dare to oppose me? Do you even have the right?"

Upon hearing that they had received the support of the Serpent Immortal, the ministers ceased their objections and exchanged glances, speaking in unison.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The imperial decree has been issued, and the next step is to send people to carry it out. Once the academy is built, Liu Sisi will be busy again.

Fortunately, the national treasury is currently full, so building some colleges shouldn't be a problem.

Liu Sisi herself also donated 500,000 taels of silver to build a women's college.

It took a full year to build the academy, and that was with the government providing manpower, so it was considered a fast-paced project.

However, very few people are willing to send their daughters here to study.

They've saved all their money for their son; how could they bear to give it to their daughter for education?

Finally, Liu Sisi, along with the heads of many academies and the Master, discussed the matter for a long time and consulted with Emperor Yong'an and Empress Dowager before implementing a policy.
