Chapter 136 Taking Over the Phoenix Seal
The hall was very quiet. Except for Jiang Yingli who would occasionally glance up at Xiao Chenglan, everyone else had their heads lowered and held their breath.
Jiang Yingli looked at him and saw that His Majesty had a calm expression on his face and didn't seem to be angry.
"Concubine Shen entered the palace at the beginning of the spring, and it has been more than half a year now. I have indeed never visited her. I turned her over because she has talents that I value, and I have some difficult problems that I want to entrust to her to solve."
All of Concubine Shen's uneasy thoughts froze in an instant.
What did she hear?
Is your Majesty's words an explanation for why she was chosen but not favored?
Is your majesty looking after her dignity?
But as far as she knew, His Majesty did not have such meticulous consideration and patience towards other people.
Is it because of Empress Xiuyi?
Chen Zhuxin was surprised and secretly glanced at Jiang Yingli, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Yingli looking at His Majesty with admiration.
"So, Concubine Shen, I want to ask you, do you want to continue to stay in the harem, or teach your talents to more people?"
Chen Zhuxin was even more surprised.
"Your Majesty...what does this mean?"
"The arithmetic your father taught you was once something only the children of the nobility could learn. However, due to their status, they were not able to fulfill their duties. Even the most advanced mathematics was just a decoration to them. As a result, this method gradually declined and fell into disrepair. I wish to allow more people to learn this method. Since your father is unable to do so, it is perfect for you to do it. I intend to send you to Zhangtong Academy. Are you willing?"
Chen Zhuxin was completely stunned.
Your Majesty, are you going to let her be your teacher and teach you mathematics?
The excitement in Chen Zhuxin's heart was clamoring deep in his heart, but...
"However, I think you should also be aware of the obstacles you will encounter if you enter the academy as a woman. At the very least, no one will be willing to listen to your lectures. At worst, rumors will drag you into the eighteen levels of hell. You are responsible for your own life and death. Therefore, I give you a choice. If you just want to stay in the harem for a lifetime of peace, I will still grant you your wish."
Chen Zhuxin was silent for about three seconds, then bowed resolutely.
"Your Majesty values talent, and I am deeply grateful. I am not afraid, and I am willing to go!"
"Okay, from now on, you are no longer my concubine."
"Fu Wanquan, go to the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Household Department, remove her nameplate and burn her imperial seal. Send her to the Zhangtong Academy tomorrow morning."
Chen Zhuxin bowed deeply to the ground and changed his address this time.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"
Jiang Yingli looked at Chen Zhuxin and felt very relieved.
His Majesty told her that what Chen Zhuxin knew would be very helpful to Daye's mathematics, which was a remarkable thing.
His Majesty likes her and will not give Chen Zhuxin any care. She will be trapped in the palace for her entire life and will inevitably suffer.
Now everything is fine, she can go out and walk her own way.
Although His Majesty always says that he is not a good person, in her heart, His Majesty is the best.
Jiang Yingli stood up from her seat with a smile and bowed to Xiao Chenglan.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The concubines who were immersed in the shock of Shen Zhuxin being able to leave the palace and enter the academy were awakened by Jiang Yingli's words. They all stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Your Majesty is not bound by worldly matters and would not feel that it is an insult to your dignity for your concubine to enter and leave the academy.
Being able to have such an enlightened king, they would not only admire him as concubines, but also loyally submit to him as subjects.
Xiao Chenglan's gaze fell on Jiang Yingli: "Ning Xiuyi."
Jiang Yingli looked up and saw Xiao Chenglan sitting in the main seat with a gentle expression, reaching out to her.
"come over."
Jiang Yingli was slightly stunned. Why did he suddenly call her in such a serious occasion?
But despite her doubts, Jiang Yingli still walked towards Xiao Chenglan obediently.
Xiao Chenglan held Jiang Yingli's hand, pulled her to his side, and lifted her hand high with his knuckles. He looked seriously at the concubines and Shen Zhuxin kneeling on the ground below, and his tone was very majestic.
"The palace has been turbulent lately, and we cannot afford to be without a leader for a single day. Today, I appoint Jin Ning Xiuyi as Consort Yu, holding the Phoenix Seal and acting as regent for the six palaces. You must obey me carefully and abide by the palace rules. If anyone disobeys me, I will not forgive them lightly."
