Since Zhu Dunyi, she has been paying great respects. The person she was paying respects to was obviously Gu Yinwei. Old Lady Xiang was flattering herself and thought that the emperor respected her. She smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. When she heard that she was wrong, she immediately frowned and turned into a she-demon.
The emperor's guards were tall and strong, different from the remnants of Xiang Dingguo's old troops. It was obvious that they were not of the same level. Wherever they stood, they were like a wall. The steel knives in their hands were shiny black. They were all burly, fed by the emperor, and well-trained. They surrounded this group of trash like dumplings.
"Outside is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, Madam Xiang, please come in and talk."
Concubine Chen opened the door and invited everyone into the academy, while Concubine Mei was busy arranging the seats.
Zhu Dunyi had heard of Sanfei Academy, but had never visited it in person.
As soon as Mrs. Xiang entered the courtyard, she had a gloomy face, but because the emperor was beside her, she dared not vent her anger.
Sanfei Academy teaches a wide variety of subjects, including but not limited to gardening, embroidery, poetry, astronomy and geography, medicine, horsemanship, and swordsmanship.
The female students in the college are attending classes, and the lecturer is still Miss Mo.
The topic that Miss Mo lectured on was the righteousness between the ruler and the minister. Miss Mo spoke freely and expressed her thoughts. The emperor also attended this class. The person who taught him was the late Emperor Zhu Beifeng.
Miss Mo has limited knowledge and is still young, but she can speak very clearly. Zhu Beifeng not only has a deeper understanding of the academy.
Old Madam Xiang sneered, saying that as a woman, she had no shame in showing herself in public instead of taking care of her husband and children.
A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Just wait and see, she will definitely close down Sanfei Academy as soon as possible.
Mrs. Xiang despised the female lecturers in the college and also despised the female students who participated in the studies.
Anbang could have fallen in love with anyone else, but he chose to fall in love with a rebellious and unruly girl.
"My mother's academy is well run. When my father was alive, he often felt sad when he read the history books. He thought that heroines like Ban Jieyu and Shangguan Wan'er were not given important positions by the court. Now that my mother has opened a girls' school, our Xuanhua Kingdom will surely be full of talented people."
Old Lady Xiang had a stern face and looked disdainful.
Everyone ignored her feelings and treated her like she was invisible.
After visiting the college, Zhu Dunyi felt mixed emotions.
It would be great if there were more colleges that teach girls in the world. Everyone could show their talents and strive to live up to their ideal lives. If everyone takes a small step forward, the entire Xuanhua Kingdom will take a big step forward.
Concubine Mei brought a chair and asked Zhu Dunyi to sit down. Madam Xiang's seat was placed at the end, and she sat down reluctantly.
I was indignant in my heart that these juniors actually sat in front of me, showing no respect for me. I am a dignified lady with an imperial title.
Gu Yingxia completely understood Madam Xiang's inner thoughts and said, "Let me introduce Madam Xiang to this: this is Empress Dowager Hengle."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiang stood up and saluted.
"I am Consort Xian, this is Consort Zhen, this is Consort Chen, and this is Consort Mei."
The person with the lowest status in the whole audience was Old Lady Xiang. Every time Gu Yingxia spoke, she would stand up and bow. She did this over and over again until she was sweating all over. She was so exhausted that she no longer had the energy to act weird and just sat there obediently.
From outside the house came the sound of aloud reading: "The mountain light suddenly sets in the west, the moon in the pond gradually rises in the east. I let my hair down to enjoy the evening coolness, and lie down leisurely with the window open. The lotus breeze carries the fragrance, and the bamboo dew drops make a clear sound. I want to pick up the harp and play it, but I regret that there is no one who understands me. I miss my old friends and have trouble dreaming in the middle of the night."
This happened in early spring, but the students were reciting summer poems. Although it was not appropriate for the occasion, it still had a unique flavor to it.
Gu Yinwei was filled with satisfaction after listening to the recitation, and the two concubines Zhenxian and the Dowager Consort felt as if they were listening to heavenly music.
The two concubines, Chen and Mei, were both proud and complacent. This was the result of their teaching day and night. Their reading voices were clear and melodious, their language was fluent, and they were full of vigor and vitality.
Old Lady Xiang loved to play with power, never read books, and didn't understand the joy and benefits of reading. Now, after listening to the female students' recitation, she couldn't say what was good about it, but her mind had changed.
The Xiang family values military power over culture. If they can make the best use of their strengths and overcome their weaknesses, they will surely reach a higher level.
The incident of Princess Zhaoyang beating someone and the incident of Xiang Anbang seeking Mo Qiqi were both judged by Zhu Dunyi, and Lady Xiang suffered a loss in silence.
After all, Xiang Anbang was beaten and forced to kneel in public.
Zhu Dunyi rewarded first and then punished, giving the Xiang family enough face.
"A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. Pursuing the woman of his dreams is a beautiful thing, but Anbang's pursuit has brought trouble to Miss Mo. Miss Mo left her hometown, away from her relatives and friends, and came to the capital to make a living alone. It is not easy."
"Anbang was the one who instigated this incident, and Anbang should be punished."
"Your Majesty, my grandson was nearly beaten to death."
"Humph, I did hit him, so what? Do you want me to marry you?"
Princess Zhaoyang had a rogue expression on her face.
"I don't want you to be my granddaughter-in-law."
"Tsk, I don't want him to marry into my family, what are you so proud of?"
"Alright, both of you stop arguing. I'm here to appoint Xiang Dingbang as the Inspector of the Academy. From now on, he will be responsible for the security of the academy. His salary will come from the palace, and he will be a proper official."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"Zhaoyang, go out and apologize to Xiang Anbang. You two can shake hands and make peace, and this matter will be over."
The emperor's words were golden, and Xiang Anbang had to agree even if he disagreed.
Therefore, Xiang Anbang became the inspector of the college, but Mo Qiqi still ignored him. As the saying goes, distance creates beauty.
He didn't get along with Mo Qiqi often before.
Since he started working, he could see Mo Qiqi every morning, noon and night. Every time, Mo Qiqi had an expression that kept him at a distance. Over time, Xiang Anbang gave up pursuing Mo Qiqi.
"Watchdog, are you staring at that beautiful lady again?"
"You're the watchdog, you Mobei dog."
"Watchdog, do you dare to go to the lake to drink?"
Princess Zhaoyang invited Xiang Anbang to drink, but Xiang Anbang knew that Princess Zhaoyang had no good intentions and deliberately declined, saying, "I am busy carrying out my mission."
"Forget it if you don't want to go. I'm going to go drink with your brother."
The women in Mobei are too casual. If they can't seduce him, they will seduce his brother.
Xiang Dingguo was different from Xiang Anbang who was extrovert. He was introverted and steady. Princess Zhaoyang was passionate, and Xiang Dingguo was soon under her control.
"Xiang Dingguo, let's go drink by the lake."
"If the princess invites me, I will definitely accompany her."
Xiang Anbang wanted to see what evil intentions Princess Zhaoyang had, but it turned out that Zhaoyang really went there to drink, and she was drunk and staggering, talking nonsense.
"The moon in the Central Plains is rounder than that in the Mobei Desert, the wine in the Central Plains is stronger than that in the Mobei Desert, and the men in the Central Plains are handsome."
"Xiang Dingguo, I like drinking with you, let's toast."
Xiang Dingguo's old face turned red and his heart was beating fast.
This is the first time in his life that a girl has said she likes him.
When Xiang Dingguo returned home, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
In terms of identity, Zhaoyang is a princess, and in terms of appearance, Princess Zhaoyang is the most beautiful among all the girls.
No matter how you look at this deal, I'm making a profit.
Silly brother, such a beautiful girl asked him out, but he was indifferent. I wonder if he will regret it later.
How could Xiang Anbang not regret it? He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
