The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Grandmother, Mother, the Junior Tutor has been here for quite some time and must be hungry. Why don't we go to Grandmother's palace for lunch first?"
The two laughed and said, "Yes, yes, nothing is more important than having lunch first."
The Empress Dowager pulled Yue Fuguang away, leaving the Emperor with a final message: "Your Majesty, this matter is now in your hands. Punish those who deserve it, but do not show favoritism."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will give Fu Guang an explanation today."
Yue Fuguang had originally planned to go back to her residence for hot pot today, but unexpectedly, this delay led her back to the Empress Dowager's palace.
After having a good meal and drinks at the Empress Dowager's palace and bringing back two large cartloads of gifts, it was already late afternoon when they returned to the Yu residence.
Yue Fuguang sent Qingzhu to inform the old lady, reassuring her, and then fell asleep immediately with Cuizhu's help.
Her drowsiness wasn't just due to being overly nauseous from carbohydrates; it was also because the system was consuming more energy as it upgraded while simultaneously repairing its own data, which put even more strain on the host.
Before falling asleep, Yue Fuguang was still thinking, "Luckily, this isn't my own body, otherwise I wouldn't have let the system ruin it like this!"
The next day, Yue Fuguang slept for two extra hours and felt that going to school was a good idea; this early morning routine was the life she was most familiar with.
Carrying her little schoolbag, she arrived at Hongwen Hall with her study companions Yu Ningxuan and Yu Ningxin. Her new classmates and teachers were already there.
Looking around, the classroom is over 100 square meters, bright and clean, tidy and solemn.
There were about twenty people sitting inside, all of whom were princes and princesses of similar age to her, along with their companions.
Master, are you the last one to arrive?
Yue Fuguang, thick-skinned as ever, retorted, "Even if your master is the last to arrive, you can't say I'm late!"
Why are you not on time even though you're supposed to be there?
The system checked the time: 2:45 AM (Chen Shi). [Master, would you like to put a clock in this school? The water clock in this world isn't as reliable as the old one. Coming in right on time, people might think you're late.]
"We'll talk about that later. It's too advanced to be discussed now."
Today's instructor is the newly appointed Hanlin Academician Shang Xuewen. His promotion is similar to that of Feng Tang; both of them had their superiors imprisoned after Yue Fuguang's revelations, which led to their own promotion by the emperor.
Seeing Yue Fuguang enter, he smiled and said, "Young Master, this is your seat."
He pointed to the best seat in the front row, and Yue Fuguang looked in the direction he pointed; that was the center seat of the entire classroom.
I wonder who was sitting here before she arrived.
Yue Fuguang walked over and sat down, and her two older sisters also found seats behind her.
Yu Ningxuan was chosen by Yue Fuguang herself, and she asked the old lady and old master Yu to help her choose the other person.
In the end, the two chose Yu Ningxin, who had a gentle personality and was going to get married in two years. Her experience studying at Hongwen Academy would also be a big plus for her.
Unlike the older children in the next classroom, they learned relatively simple things, but they were bombarded with classical Chinese phrases that made their heads ache.
Master, you said that these people have been governing the country for thousands of years with this knowledge, but the social development has been slow. Have they never thought that there is something wrong with what they have learned?
They've become too focused on one subject, like walking on only one leg.
"Perhaps someone has thought about this, but those who have thought about it may be regarded as outcasts, traitors to the words of sages."
The same is true of the planet we visited, Water Blue. Although its five thousand years of civilization were brilliant, its development couldn't keep up with the pace of development in the next fifty years. This is the power of science and technology.
It can make your society develop as fast as riding the world's fastest BMW, or it can be so slow that there's not much change for decades or even centuries.
Upon hearing this, Shang Xuewen felt a pang of discomfort, like being scratched by a cat. He silently prayed, "Please, Master, don't just say this much!"
What exactly went wrong? Why has that place called Water Blue Star been able to develop so rapidly in fifty years? Could you please elaborate on this?
You're just raising questions without solving them. Aren't you just making people who hear these questions but don't know what will happen next unable to eat or sleep?
No matter how much Shang Xuewen prayed in his heart, his divine artifact did not continue the topic as he wished.
Instead, the question was: "So, does the master intend to establish his own school in the future, teaching students biology, geography, physics, and chemistry?"
"Little Pearl, how much of the knowledge do you think I can still remember after my master sealed my memories? Aren't you afraid that I will mislead others?"
Besides, I don't want to go through that kind of trouble.
What was the master's purpose in establishing the school?
"Giving those who want to study but cannot afford it an opportunity to learn to read is commonly known as literacy campaigns. The lower a country's illiteracy rate, the more it can indirectly promote social development."
That can be considered a good deed.
Whether it's meritorious or not doesn't matter; it's just something I did on the spur of the moment.
All she needs to do is pay someone to manage it; nothing can affect her laid-back lifestyle.
Going to school and attending court are already bad enough; there's no need to add to the suffering.
Shang Xuewen kept the conversation between the two in mind, and he would have to report it to His Majesty truthfully after class.
Since the decision was made to send the little immortal to study, His Majesty has secretly adjusted the instructors. Anyone who pays attention will notice that these people are not only high-ranking and powerful, but also the kind of people who can hear one's thoughts.
Colleagues have often engaged in physical altercations in their quest to secure the opportunity to teach.
The martial arts instructor was the first one to be chosen, because Wei Shouyi was the strongest in martial arts among all the court officials, overpowering everyone else and winning first.
While thinking about these random thoughts, Shang Xuewen hurried towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while it was already lunchtime at the Hongwen Hall.
Yue Fuguang declined the Empress Dowager's invitation to the palace and insisted on having lunch at Hongwen Hall. This was mainly because she was afraid that her two older sisters would feel uncomfortable since it was their first time in the palace, and she was also afraid that someone would take advantage of their power to bully them.
After all, given her status, she encountered the stubborn Fourth Prince yesterday.
According to the latest report from the system, the Fourth Prince still couldn't escape a beating yesterday. Despite his half-crippled body, he endured ten strokes of the cane. Eunuch Qian was in charge of supervising, and no one dared to slack off.
It is said that he will receive another fifty strokes of the cane within half a month. For this reason, Emperor Mingxi did not hesitate to have the Imperial Hospital administer strong medicine to him, which made him recover quickly.
Because of this, seeing the tragic end of the Fourth Prince, the new students of Yue Fuguang today are unusually obedient.
Before, during breaks, the laughter and playfulness became much more disciplined because of her presence. People spoke softly, afraid of offending this great figure.
The three powerful figures in the palace, plus the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, all had to appease this person. They really didn't dare to be as headstrong as the fourth brother in front of him.
Those who had heard her thoughts and knew her 'true identity' were especially respectful towards her.
