Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli's heart calmed down instantly. Since there was no time limit, she would have an excuse even if Emperor Kangxi asked her about it.
However, before she could be happy, the door of the Yangxin Palace was opened, and then Li Dequan appeared in front of them.
"Master Jiu, Concubine Xian, His Majesty asked me to tell Concubine Xian that you should review "Female Training" and "Female Precepts" in ten days."
A bolt of lightning exploded in Jiang Ranli's head, leaving her burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"An Da, did you hear it right? The emperor said ten days, not the twentieth or thirtieth day?" She did not give up and confirmed with Li Dequan again.
Looking at Jiang Ranli's confused face, Li Dequan couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Madam, I heard it right. The Emperor said ten days."
This time, Jiang Ranli finally gave up. He stood there in a daze for a while, with a hint of cunning in his clear eyes.
"An Da, Jiu Ye and I went to Shanxi this time and brought many local specialties to the Emperor. I will send someone to deliver them later. Please tell the Emperor."
Li Dequan nodded and said, "I'll take note of it."
"Then we will leave first. Please ask An Da to tell the Emperor to take care of himself. State affairs are important, but his health is more important." Before leaving, Jiang Ranli turned around and said something to Li Dequan.
Li Dequan nodded again and said, "Farewell, Ninth Master and Concubine Jin."
Turning back to the Yangxin Palace, Li Dequan relayed Jiang Ranli's words to Emperor Kangxi, causing Emperor Kangxi to scowl and say, "That little fox wants to bribe me."
After thinking for a while, Emperor Kangxi said, "Send someone to tell her that the deadline is changed to eight days."
When Jiang Ran heard the bad news, she had not yet walked too far out of the Yangxin Palace. She looked in the direction of the Yangxin Palace with sorrow in her eyes, thinking that it seemed that Emperor Kangxi was really angry. If it were in the past, he would definitely extend some time, but now, it was directly reduced from ten days to eight days.
"I won't give the specialties to the Emperor. I want to keep them for myself."
Turning around, Jiang Ranli strode forward. She had to go to Jiang Fan's house quickly to meet and talk with Jiang Fan, and then pick up Little Meatball, the twins, Minyan, and Hongzheng to go back to the house. She had to start copying "Female Training" and "Female Precepts" quickly, otherwise there might not be enough time.
Yinzhen looked at Jiang Ranli's hurried and angry back with a smile, and quickly caught up with him.
After talking to Jiang Fan for a while, Jiang Ranli returned to the house with the children, then went straight into the study and started copying things.
Si Dai looked at her working hard, her expression full of entanglement and struggle. She wanted to say something, but seeing that Jiang Ranli was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water, she chose to remain silent.
Upon hearing that Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli had returned, the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince rushed over immediately.
Looking at Jiang Ranli who was working hard, the two of them were amazed.
"Li'er, what are you doing? I haven't seen you so hardworking before. Hey, you even use a brush to write. What? Do you want to be the female top scholar?" The Tenth Prince joked around Jiang Ranli.
"Don't make trouble," Jiang Ranli said without raising his head, all his attention was on the brush and rice paper.
Seeing how serious she was, Fourteenth Prince walked over to take a look, picked up the "Female Training" on the table and said, "Don't you hate these things the most? Why are you writing this so seriously?"
