Concubine Chen lifted the loose hair on her forehead and walked beautifully and elegantly.
She is not good at vying for favor, but she is the best at arithmetic.
At the corner, two female students were whispering, "Did you see that older sister just now? She's so beautiful."
"Yeah, I saw her too. She seems to be the lecturer of Class A."
Concubine Chen twisted her waist and thought to herself, who am I? I am Chen Minjun, an ordinary little arithmetic genius.
Zhu Bifeng was not optimistic about the Three Concubines Academy at first. After all, all the lecturers there were concubines.
The concubines in the harem like to compete and fight with each other, especially Concubine Chen, who is narrow-minded and vindictive.
Zhu Bifeng expected that Sanfei College would have to close after only three months, but he never expected that not only did Sanfei College not close, it even showed signs of opening a branch.
"Where's Guo Jia? Ask him to send the green card."
Guo Jia was sitting with his feet up drinking tea while the medicine boy beside him was reading poetry to him. The poetry was well-balanced, fresh and meaningful.
Shuangxi came to invite Guo Jia in person, but Guo Jia was just drinking tea and slacking off.
"Master Guo, do you still want this head of yours? It's already this hour, and you're still drinking tea. Hurry up and send a green card to the emperor."
Guo Jia jumped up, brought a tray, put Xi Jiaorong's green card on it, and hurried downstairs.
"Come back, why is there only a green card for Concubine Xi? Concubine Xi is about to give birth, how can Yan sleep with her?"
"The other ladies are not available either."
"Where have all the people gone?"
"I went to Sanfei College to teach as a lecturer."
Guo Jia poured a pot of tea for Shuangxi, and the two chatted while drinking.
Zhu Bifeng waited for a long time, but Shuangxi didn't come back, so he sent another eunuch to ask. Guo Jia talked freely and everyone listened attentively.
Zhu Beifeng sent two groups of people to invite Guo Jia, but no one returned for a long time. The imperial study and the inner court were only three miles apart, so why didn't anyone come back for more than an hour?
Okay, since Shuangxi doesn’t come back, I will go and see it myself.
Under a big tree in the Inner Court, Guo Jia stood on a bench, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, and the leading eunuch was Shuangxi.
They all looked up with their eyes wide open, looking at Guo Jia intently, and made exclamations such as "Huh?", "Wow," etc.
When it came to the exciting parts, some people cheered loudly.
Zhu Bifeng did not allow anyone to inform him and stood against the wall to eavesdrop.
I want to see what kind of wild fox Zen you are talking about, and how you can describe it so vividly.
"On the first day of school at Sanfei Academy, three thousand people signed up. Three months later, only thirty remained. Each of these thirty female students possessed unique skills. Remember Old Hu, the man who sold Yangchun noodles in Tianshui Lane?"
Shuangxi said, "Of course I don't remember. I walk with a limp." Then he imitated Lao Hu's walking posture.
"Yesterday, Old Hu was selling noodles with soybean paste when he accidentally fell. A female student from Sanfei College passed by and fed him two pills. Immediately, Old Hu's limp and back pain were gone, and he was able to climb to the eighth floor in one breath."
"I also want to take two magic pills." Shuangxi interrupted.
"You're not sick, why are you taking medicine? Don't interrupt me." Guo Jia cleared his throat and continued.
"There's a pickpocket in Dongcheng District who steals on the streets every day. Yesterday, a little girl named Xue Qian severed his tendons in his hands and feet with a sword."
"It is said that Xue Qian's swordsmanship was taught by Concubine Mei herself. Concubine Mei can even fly with her sword now."
"Yesterday I saw a girl in purple in the sky, whizzing back and forth."
The audience applauded: "Good, good."
The more Zhu Beifeng listened, the more mysterious it seemed to him. How could he not know that Concubine Mei could wield a sword?
Zhu Bifeng turned and headed towards the Cining Palace, intending to ask Gu Yinwei what the Three Concubines Academy actually taught.
Gu Yinwei said earnestly: "What we are teaching is needlework and knitting."
"But I heard that a female student from Sanfei College cured a lame man with a pill."
"It's fake, it's all fake."
"I also heard that Concubine Mei has learned the art of sword control."
“That’s fake too.”
Zhu Bifeng asked for a long time but got nothing out of him. Instead, he became more curious about Sanfei Academy.
As soon as the emperor left, the Cining Palace began to work intensively to make elixirs. During the time when the long-eared marten ran away from home, it accidentally discovered a cave where many precious medicinal herbs grew. The long-eared marten was responsible for leading the way, and the two ginseng dolls used the earth escape technique to carry the medicine.
All the herbs brought back were made into pills and then distributed to the concubines who had made contributions to the academy. Concubine Mei's swordsmanship had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, but after taking the pills, her swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds. With the help of light skills, she could step on the sword and fly for a short distance of three to five hundred meters.
After taking the elixir, Concubine Chen wrote furiously and compiled two books on abacus. At first, her abacus was not put into much use. Later, the ministers in the court accused her of making books privately and investigated her abacus.
After much research, they discovered that the abacus method was simpler than the arithmetic rules currently circulating on the market. As a result, Concubine Chen became famous, and the Ministry of Revenue began to ask for advice on the dirty debts that they could not solve.
Faced with a room full of bad debts and old accounts, Concubine Chen led the two princesses Yudie and Mengdie, as well as the three young ladies of the Fanyang Lu family, and spent ten days sorting out all the bad debts.
He also sent the seven most outstanding disciples from the sword class to recover the debt owed to the Mobei royal family.
Zhu Bifeng walked out of the Cining Palace alone, with his arms behind his back. In the past, he was very popular and all the concubines loved him, but now he was really alone. When the concubines went to teach the female disciples, no one paid any attention to him.
The doors of all the palaces were tightly closed, except for the door of the pregnant Concubine Xi's palace, which was open. Xi Jiaorong was sitting in a rocking chair, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan in her hand. In front of her was a coffee table with a plate of grapes on it.
Agui ordered someone to bring a basin of ice. The ice gave off a wisp of heat, and Xijiaorong showed a comfortable expression.
