"I agree with your idea of opening a girls' academy, but the teachers need to be carefully selected." Xuan Ming continued to surprise Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi never expected to gain so much today.
She had already prepared herself for rejection when she brought this up, thinking that even if it didn't work out, at least she had said it, which was already a great success.
But to her utter surprise, Xuanming agreed and even supported her decision.
Mu Zhi excitedly assured him, "Don't worry, I will definitely do this well. I will not embarrass you, nor will I let down Father and Mother. I will personally select the teachers. There may be male teachers in the early stages, but after the first batch of students completes their studies, female teachers will be introduced to the girls' academy."
Mu Zhi felt excited just thinking about that scene.
Seeing Mu Zhi's excited expression, Xuan Ming couldn't help but pull her into his arms and kiss her.
"Alright, I trust you completely. If you're leaving the palace, you can go directly there, but please remember to bring plenty of people with you," Xuan Ming said with a smile.
Mu Zhi was startled by the sudden kiss and stood frozen in Xuan Ming's arms, her eyes filled with confusion.
Xuan Ming chuckled, "Silly girl, are you that happy?"
Mu Zhi realized what had happened and immediately blushed. How could she have been so infatuated?
Mu Zhi quickly pushed Xuan Ming away, stood up, turned her back to Xuan Ming, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, it's good that you agreed. I'll go now. Come back soon after you're done with your work."
Xuanming always stayed in Muzhi Palace, so Muzhi often said this.
After she finished speaking, she walked out quickly without waiting for Xuanming's reply.
The magpie at the door saw Mu Zhi come out and its face lit up with a delighted smile. It quickly went up to her and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, you've come out."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Mu Zhi, and she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
She reached out to touch Mu Zhi's forehead. "Should I call a royal physician to take a look at you?"
Mu Zhi slapped the magpie's hand away a little embarrassedly and glared at her coquettishly: "I'm perfectly fine, I don't have any illness."
Seeing that Mu Zhi wasn't angry, but rather looked a little shy, the magpie immediately understood and teased, "Oh~ I get it, so that's how it is."
Mu Zhi became even more embarrassed by what the magpie said, and couldn't help but lightly punch the magpie, scolding, "You little girl, you just know how to tease me. I'll teach you a lesson."
Magpie, however, didn't seem to mind and said with a grin, "I'm not afraid at all. I'm just happy for Your Majesty. The Emperor and Your Majesty have such a good relationship, and I'm benefiting from it too." After saying that, she winked mischievously, making Mu Zhi laugh.
That's true. Xuanming loved the house and its crows, and he rewarded the magpie with a lot of gold and silver.
These past two days, Mu Zhi has been busy raising money and preparing for disaster relief outside the city.
She planned to go to the city gate after the army had set off.
The day before the army set off, Mu Zhi was somewhat surprised to hear that Yun Qingluo wanted to see her.
The person who came to deliver the message was Yunying.
At this moment, Yunying was standing at the entrance of the Empress's palace. The curtain was lifted, and Muzhi came out.
Mu Zhi looked at Yun Ying, her tone tinged with doubt, "Did she say what it was about?"
Yun Ying replied with a respectful expression, "My master said that she invited you to Luo Chen Xuan for a chat in her capacity as the Valley Master of Divine Physician Valley. She did not reveal the specifics. She said that you would understand once you heard her identity in this meeting."
Yunying didn't understand why Yun Qingluo was speaking in riddles, but she figured she must have her own reasons.
After hearing Yunying's words, Muzhi glanced at the magpie in surprise, only to find that the magpie also looked bewildered.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, reflecting on what she had done in the past two days, and understood a few things.
A hint of joy appeared on her face. "I didn't expect her to be so helpful. I'll go change my clothes and then we'll head out."
They're heading to the Holy Sky Continent tomorrow, so I can only meet them now.
Yun Qingluo got up early in the morning and started tinkering in the kitchen.
Yun Jin followed Yun Qingluo and assisted her.
Yun Qingluo didn't know Mu Zhi's taste, so she could only prepare a hot pot with two broths.
That's right, she plans to treat Mu Zhi to hot pot.
She hadn't originally planned to do this, but these past two days, she was shocked to hear Mo Beichen talk about Mu Zhi, especially about Mu Zhi's plan to build a girls' academy.
She felt it was essential to meet Mu Zhi, who was likely an underestimated woman.
"At first, I also thought this girl was love-struck, working hard for over ten years just for a man, becoming outstanding only for Xuanming. I thought she was hopeless, but I didn't expect her to have this kind of awareness. Women should study, not live by clinging to men and families. That's really well said. It has a bit of the flavor of our new era women." Xiao Yi chatted with Yun Qingluo in the system while munching on a bag of potato chips.
Yun Qingluo noticed that Xiao Yi seemed to have become more talkative since he became half-human.
Occasionally, she could sense Xiao Yi's loneliness, because Xiao Yi could only talk to her. Occasionally, when Mo Beichen entered the system, she could chat with Mo Beichen, but she couldn't chat with anyone else.
With her and Mo Beichen busy, Xiao Yi was left alone.
Yun Qingluo suddenly asked Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, when will your system be fully upgraded?"
"I don't know, there's no warning yet. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.
Yun Qingluo sighed, "I was thinking that if you can finish leveling up before we return to the Sumeru Continent, and if you can get out of the system, I can take you to Xuancang Capital for a tour and experience the local customs and culture. Then I can take you home in a perfectly legitimate way."
