The excitement continued until late August, and it was said that more than a dozen concubines were added to the palace.
Chi Xingyue didn't know what they looked like, but he could get a glimpse of Emperor Ruikang's thoughts from the family background of these concubines.
Cui Wan'er lived up to Tiandao's care and became Zhou Chengyu's princess consort.
For a time, the noble ladies in the city were extremely envious.
However, something unexpected happened in this life.
She was not the only one around Zhou Chengyu.
Although the two had a good impression of each other before, they didn't spend much time together and their feelings were not deep enough.
With the help of Emperor Ruikang, Zhou Chengyu directly picked two concubines, three concubines, and four concubines.
Huang Yingying got her wish and became Zhou Chengyu's wife.
After Ling Jiheng found out, he almost asked Geng Suhua to cancel the marriage between Ling Jiran and Huang Minbo.
It was only after Huang Minbo begged on his knees, and Mrs. Huang rushed from Yunrou County with a promise written by County Magistrate Huang, that the Ling family reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
Madam Huang was filled with worry, "I have advised her countless times, but this girl is determined to be the crown prince. No matter what I say, it's useless. She insists on running for the election.
Her father and I couldn't persuade her, so we agreed. Alas, I didn't expect your family...
But don't worry, I told Yingying before I entered the palace that I would not help her."
At this point, Madam Huang laughed at herself and said, "However, with our family's current strength, there's not much help we can offer."
Madam Huang patted Geng Suhua's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Even if Yingying is lucky enough to give birth to a son or daughter for the royal family in the future, we will not let her develop ambitions and fight for the position that does not belong to her."
Geng Suhua sighed, thinking that just because she had no idea now, it didn't mean she would be able to resist temptation in the future.
Her family Ji Ren has had a hard time. She can't let him be dragged into the royal family's internal strife in the future!
Fortunately, the mother-in-law was sensible and sent them a letter.
Huang Minbo is a really good kid. After hesitating for a few days, he still didn't break up the couple.
However, the interests involved were explained to the young couple.
Huang Minbo humbly accepted the advice, but he didn't quite understand why he couldn't fight for that position.
In reality, Geng Suhua also had only a vague understanding of the situation. However, Ling Jiheng was clever and must have known something, which was why he was treating it like a formidable enemy.
Let's put the matter aside for now. Chi Xingyue didn't see Cui Wan'er, who was wearing a red veil, until the prince's wedding.
Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I could feel her joy from her brisk steps.
Yes, compared to marrying those young masters from noble families whose backgrounds are unknown to her, it is definitely more to her liking this prince who has lent a helping hand in times of crisis.
The wedding was grand, and Chi Xingyue sat on the side with the women, in a position closer to the front.
Those who knew her greeted her with a smile, and those who didn't know her nodded in acknowledgement after being introduced by others.
Although Chi Xingyue has a high status, he is young after all. He speaks very kindly and puts himself in the position of a junior.
Of course, she is not afraid of those who are sarcastic or secretly trying to find out information. She directly uses her power to put pressure on them and let them know that she is not easy to bully.
"I heard that the princess opened a confinement center?"
Chi Xingyue smiled and advertised: "Yes! This princess knows that families like ours with some financial background can take good care of mothers.
However, the confinement center has professional chefs and rehabilitation therapists who can help mothers regain their figure in a short time.
If the effect is good, it may be even better than before delivery.
As you know, life is not easy for women. Only by taking good care of yourself can you have a sweet relationship with your husband.
These days will become more and more prosperous!"
She spoke vaguely, but everyone present heard it clearly.
Chi Xingyue continued, "If you ladies are interested, you can take some time to visit the Moon Club next to the confinement center. There are many medicinal foods there to nourish your body."
The ladies were excited, looked at each other, nodded, and decided to wait until the wedding banquet was over and make an appointment to go over there and take a look.
***
Three months passed in a flash, and when the first winter snow fell, the twins were able to roll over.
What they like to do most is to flip through it.
Shu Muyun was laughing and praising them. The two little babies grinned politely, showing their tiny teeth, looking very cute.
And the old lady, as soon as she woke up, would stick to Qingfengyuan. In three months, she seemed to have become ten years younger.
Seeing this, Chi Xingyue completely handed over the task of taking care of the twins to the two of them.
She was not idle either. In addition to opening the first confinement center in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she also sorted out the elementary school textbooks in the space in the past few months.
He used his own handwriting to sort out the key points and wrote a profound and easy-to-understand book on the mathematics of the Zhou Dynasty.
The most interesting part is, of course, the Arabic numerals. However, when she wrote them in the book, the names became Xiahua numerals.
The crooked numbers form a sharp contrast with the neat traditional Chinese characters.
However, the concise and clear calculation principle is eye-opening.
In particular, Chi Xingyue compiled the problems encountered in life into application questions, and then supplemented them with numerical calculations, so that many difficult problems were easily solved, which is enough to show the importance of this book.
Ling Jiheng read the book as soon as he got it.
While I feel grateful for Chi Xingyue's attentiveness, I am also grateful for her efforts.
After discussion, Ling Jiheng presented "Mathematics of the Great Zhou" to Emperor Ruikang.
Ruikangdi was confused at first, but after Ling Jiheng's explanation, he suddenly felt enlightened.
It turns out that problems in life can be solved this way.
Emperor Ruikang's eyes lit up. "My dear minister, which master compiled the Mathematics of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Ling Jiheng didn't dare to hide it: "Your Majesty, it's my wife, Princess Le'an!"
"Le An, doesn't she... understand these things?"
Emperor Ruikang was too embarrassed to point out the words "fire-burning girl", but Ling Jiheng understood it.
He smiled and said, “It is precisely because I have rich life experience and often encounter various problems that I can delve into solving them.
Your Majesty, although my wife has never studied in a formal academy, she is a person of profound knowledge.
There are often some novel ideas that come out, and sometimes they even shock me."
Emperor Ruikang nodded, thinking that what the retired emperor said was indeed right. This Princess Le'an was indeed quite capable.
At first he thought that the emperor was making up an excuse to prevent others from interfering with Chi Xingyue's background.
However, this book, whether signed by Chi Xingyue or Princess Le'an, would damage the reputation of the students of the Great Zhou.
After all, it is quite embarrassing for a woman to study thoroughly something that so many scholars have not figured out.
Ling Jiheng had already prepared for this.
"Princess Le'an said that she wrote this book not to become famous for herself, but to spread the knowledge in it so that more people can learn and solve problems.
Therefore, she hoped that the signature above would be her pen name - Xia Hua Jushi, rather than the controversial three characters Chi Xingyue.
