Chapter 505: Spoil her, it's good this way
The Marquis Bo'an roared angrily, and the anger was also directed at Zhou Nishang. He didn't expect that his daughter, who was so delicate and charming in front of him, would be so fierce!
"Master, you have to make the decision for the Second Miss. She just wanted to go to the palace to take a look. What did she do wrong to deserve such a plot? And the person who plotted against her is her most trusted sister!" Seeing Marquis Bo'an getting angry, An Shi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and cried like a pear blossom in the rain.
Marquis Bo'an was overwhelmed.
"Okay, stop crying. Why can't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to hit her sister?" Marquis Bo'an actually preferred Zhou Xiangrong's opinion. After all, Zhou Xiangrong had agreed to bring Zhou Nishang into the palace. What good would it do for her to harm Zhou Nishang? This would only make outsiders laugh at Marquis Bo'an's mansion.
"Nichang is already an adult, but she hasn't learned the rules well at all. Look at her behavior just now. Where is the reservedness that a lady should have? Go back and copy the "Female Rules" ten times. If you can't learn it well, don't go out and embarrass yourself!"
Zhou Nishang saw that she had suffered such a great loss. Not only did Marquis Bo'an not help her, but he even wanted to punish her. She was so angry that she started crying.
An also saw that Marquis Bo'an was really angry, so she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. But she hated Zhou Xiangrong even more. This bitch had hidden herself well in front of her before, and her skills were quite high!
Although Marquis Bo'an was angry that Zhou Nishang did not look like a lady, he was also angry at Zhou Xiangrong's disrespectful attitude towards him. "You go to the study with your father." He wanted to know what the queen had said to Zhou Xiangrong.
Zhou Xiangrong followed Bo'an Hou to the study. Bo'an Hou turned around and saw Zhou Xiangrong sitting on the chair.
Bo'an Hou was stunned for a moment, and looking at Zhou Xiangrong's childish face, he inexplicably felt a sense of oppression.
Zhou Xiangrong looked up at Marquis Bo'an, and seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, he didn't want to waste time and slowly said, "Father, what do you want to say to me?"
Marquis Bo'an had originally prepared a lot of words of criticism and reprimand, but now he was unable to say them.
"What did the Queen tell you?"
Zhou Xiangrong took a sip of tea before saying, "The Queen asked me to do something important."
Bo Anhou was surprised, "What's the big deal?"
Zhou Xiangrong told him about the establishment of a women's college. Marquis Bo'an was even more surprised. The Queen was willing to entrust Zhou Xiangrong with such an important task. What did this mean? It meant that the Queen valued her!
Now that he is favored by the Queen, won’t those who look down on his Marquis Bo’an Mansion all kneel down and beg him in the future?
Marquis Bo'an could already imagine the joy of being praised to the sky.
"Okay, that's good. Just do as the queen says. If there's anything you don't know, just come and ask me. I'll give you some advice."
Zhou Xiangrong didn't expect him to give her any advice. The reason she told him was just because she thought that her identity as a member of the Marquis Bo'an Mansion might still be of some use.
"Father has also seen that there are some misunderstandings between Madam, Second Sister and me. I hope that when I am doing things outside, I will not be bothered by the affairs of the harem. Otherwise, if it affects Madam's affairs, I will not be able to bear the consequences."
Bo Anhou was thinking, if Zhou Xiangrong was given an important position, wouldn't he, the biological father, also be favored by the Empress? Maybe she would even give him a promotion!
The more he thought about it, the happier Bo'anhou felt, as if he would be promoted soon.
"Just go ahead and do it. As for your mother, I will explain it to her and ask her to discipline your sister."
Zhou Xiangrong smiled with satisfaction, "I know my sister is anxious, and father is relieved. We are sisters. When the girls' school is established, I will find a way to bring my sister there and let her win some credit. Even if she cannot enter the palace in the future, she can still be married to a wealthy family by the Empress."
Zhou Xiangrong's words really made Bo Anhou happy, "Well, you are indeed a good daughter to your father."
…
After washing up at night, Su Ying lay on the bed and told Xiao Jin about Zhou Xiangrong's proposal.
"Many noble families in various parts of Chu State also have girls' schools. It's not difficult to set up one. If you want to do it, just go for it. Just tell me if you need anything."
Su Ying knew that Xiao Jin would support her, but the feeling was really different between knowing it and hearing him say it in person.
"What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Jin gently stroked her eyes, which were narrowed due to her smile, and his voice became hoarse.
"Xiao Jin, I suddenly seem to understand something."
"Huh? What?"
"You're spoiling me."
"Yes." He held her face and kissed her. He really couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Su Ying felt it was quite disgusting, but she still wanted to laugh, "Just spoil her, it's good this way."
“I think it’s good too.”
The two people's happy smiles were heard outside the door, and Bai Shuang and Zhou Qing seemed to be infected and started laughing too.
The relationship between the Emperor and the Empress is so good, so good that if anyone wants to destroy it, they would want to kill him!
Zhou Xiangrong was very efficient and delivered the plan for establishing a private girls' school to Su Ying early the next morning.
The plan was as thick as a palm, and Su Ying took a whole day to finish reading it.
It was done in great detail and meticulousness, with many details taken into consideration. This was something Su Ying had not expected. This Zhou Xiangrong was quite something.
Su Ying asked Zhou Qing to find Zhang Shuming and asked him to ask the Ministry of Industry if there was a suitable place to establish a college. It would be best if there were vacant houses, which would be more convenient to use.
The capital city is such a big place, there must be some vacant houses. Plus, since it was the place Su Ying wanted, the Ministry of Works did not dare to be negligent at all. In three days, they selected several places for Su Ying to choose from.
"My Lady, look at this place. It was the site of an academy during the reign of our ancestors. Later, more and more people came to the academy because of its reputation, so the academy moved to another place and this site became vacant."
Zhang Shuming handed Su Ying a blueprint. The blueprint showed the general appearance of the college, and the specific situation would require an on-site investigation to determine whether it was suitable.
"Go prepare the car. I'm going out for a look." Anyway, there's nothing to do in the palace, so I might as well go out and relax.
Zhang Shuming knew how much the emperor doted on the queen, so the emperor would not stop the queen from going. She only needed to report to him.
"Yes, I will prepare to go down now."
Su Ying went out of the palace this time to investigate site selection. She didn't want to make a big fuss, so she asked the imperial guards to change their clothes and follow her. When outsiders saw her, they would just think she was the lady of some family.
The old site of the academy is relatively close to the residential area, and there are quite a lot of people coming and going here.
The carriage stopped and Su Ying got off.
Because it is an abandoned site, the outer walls and gate of the academy are very old, and the paint on the gate is almost falling off.
The imperial guard took out the key and went forward to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a cloud of dust blew in.
