The carriage slowly drove into the capital and came to the bustling streets.
A group of soldiers came towards us, holding big swords and looking very aggressive.
The people were talking about it.
Someone in the crowd asked with confusion: "What's going on? What happened?"
"Could it be that the Xiyuan envoys are causing trouble? After all, they've been fighting us for so many years, and now they're bringing the prince to Jincheng to seek peace? Who knows what conspiracy they're hiding!"
Someone else asked curiously, "I don't think so. This isn't going in the direction of the envoy's residence, is it?"
"Could it be that some wealthy family in the capital has committed a crime? Otherwise, how could such a grand ceremony be warranted?"
Li Nian lifted the car curtain to check the situation outside and happened to see Li Sisi in the crowd, frowning and looking worried.
She immediately asked Xiaohong to stop the carriage, then stretched out her hand and waved in the direction where Li Sisi was standing.
Li Sisi looked over, her frown relaxed, and she strode towards the carriage.
After Li Sisi jumped into the carriage, Li Nian asked, "Sisi, do you know what happened?"
Li Sisi shook her head and replied, "It seems to be related to the princess, but I'm not sure about the details."
Hearing this, Li Nian raised his voice: "Xiaohong, follow the group of officers and soldiers and see what's going on."
"Yes!" Xiaohong immediately turned the car around and followed not far away.
The officers and soldiers headed towards the east of the city and finally stopped at the gate of a academy.
Only a few minor officials were left guarding the door, while the others stormed into the academy in a menacing manner.
Xiaohong parked the carriage at the corner nearby, and the officers and soldiers E guarding the door could not see this side.
"I'll go over and ask what's going on." Li Sisi jumped off the carriage and walked towards one of the minor officials.
She calmly stuffed some silver into the hand of the minor official.
Pretending to be curious, he asked, "Hey, sir, what happened? Did someone commit a crime? My sister is studying here!"
The junior official frowned at her and asked, "Is your sister studying in this building?"
Li Sisi nodded hurriedly, "Yes." Then, with a look of panic on her face, she asked, "Could something really have happened to the students inside?"
The minor official said with a serious expression, "It was the female teacher inside who committed a crime."
Li Sisi was stunned when she heard this, and immediately asked with a gossipy look on her face: "Tell me more specifically?"
The minor official glanced at her sideways and said nothing.
Li Sisi immediately understood what he meant and stuffed another silver ingot into his pocket, smiling: "Excuse me, sir, could you please tell me more specifically? I only have one sister, and I'm really worried about her."
The minor official finally spoke up and continued, "Since ancient times, gentlemen have studied the Six Arts and women the Eight Graces. Yet, this female teacher in this academy is so audacious as to teach women the same ways that gentlemen study. This is simply the opposite of what is taught by the Heavenly Gang!"
As if giving a kind reminder, he added, "I advise you to take your sister home as soon as possible and not come here again. It would be best if you change colleges to avoid getting into trouble."
Li Sisi was shocked. "This is the academy established by Her Royal Highness the Princess! Her Royal Highness the Princess is the Emperor's only biological sister! How could this happen?"
The minor official said in a dismissive tone, "So what? We only dared to investigate because someone reported us and a search warrant was issued. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn't be able to protect herself this time!"
When Li Sisi heard this, her heart skipped a beat and her bad premonition became even stronger.
She forced a smile and said, "Thank you for the reminder, sir."
After saying that, she turned and left quickly.
As soon as she entered the carriage, she couldn't wait to tell him the news she had just found out.
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw soldiers and officers escorting several female teachers out of the academy gate. One of the female teachers stood straight with a calm expression, not showing any panic.
Xiaoying studies in this academy, so Li Sisi and Li Nian are quite familiar with the female teachers here.
When Effect Tube was first sent to school, it was the princess who introduced him to the headmaster, Mrs. Xu.
Li Sisi also noticed that Madam Xu was among the female teachers being held captive, and she angrily said, "What kind of bullshit is this? Even going to school is still divided between men and women! Why can't women learn the same things that men learn?"
Li Nian whispered, "Because it's hard to control, right? Not only are women restricted, but those children from poor families are all restricted in every way."
Li Sisi frowned: "Why does it feel like the emperor has changed, but it's the same as not changing at all?"
"Because those are the ones who control the power." Li Nian felt that there was essentially no difference between the royal princes no matter who became the emperor.
Xiao Yunyu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Let's go back first. Xiao Yunchen should know the inside story."
Li Sisi immediately agreed: "Yes, Chenchen must know about these official affairs. Just go back and ask him."
————
Because the female teacher of the college was arrested and is still under investigation, Xiaoying is unable to continue her studies at the college.
Li Sisi sent her to the private school at her mother's house.
It has been a few days since the envoys arrived in Beijing, and the palace banquet will be held today.
Unlike usual palace banquets, today's banquet is more grand and luxurious.
The banquet was still held in the original palace, but this time the court officials who attended were all of relatively high status.
The young emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread. The robe shone brightly in the light, exuding his noble majesty.
