Chapter Seventy-Eight
Everyone quickly bowed to Zhu Jingchen.
"Miss Li, your injuries are quite severe!" Zhu Jingchen sighed upon seeing the injuries on Li Zhiwei's face.
It's no wonder Xu Heming was so angry.
Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. This Luo family not only beat his son but also his future wife.
"My injury used to look frightening, but it's almost healed," Li Zhiwei quickly said.
"Yes, rest assured, I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter," Zhu Jingchen said to Li Zhiwei.
“Your Majesty, Miss Li has suffered greatly and should be properly compensated,” the Empress said from the side.
After all, Li Zhiwei's status was already somewhat awkward, and the Empress asked for a reward because she wanted the Emperor to support Li Zhiwei.
"What the Empress says makes sense. May I ask if Miss Li has anything she desires?" Zhu Jingchen asked Li Zhiwei.
However, Zhu Jingchen's words were mostly a test of Li Zhiwei and the Li family.
"Your Majesty, is it possible for me to have whatever I desire?" Li Zhiwei gritted her teeth, thinking about the corruption of Rushan Academy, and made a bold decision in her heart.
"Then I'll have to see if what you want is something I can give you." Zhu Jingchen didn't immediately agree to Li Zhiwei's request. After all, if Li Zhiwei's request was unreasonable, he would refuse it.
"Your Majesty, I wish to modify a school," Li Zhiwei said solemnly, kneeling before Zhu Jingchen.
After Li Zhiwei finished speaking, there was a deathly silence around them. No one expected that Li Zhiwei would make such a request.
After all, even if the school is built, the beneficiary won't be Li Zhiwei, right?
"Oh? I wonder what kind of school Miss Li would like to build?" Although Zhu Jingchen was surprised, the smile on his lips told everyone that the Emperor was interested in Li Zhiwei's request.
"I wish to build a preschool suitable for children under five years old," Li Zhiwei said earnestly.
Can children under five still attend school?
"Then Prince An's heir went to school, didn't he?"
"Isn't it because they're young that they get bullied?"
"Then what is Miss Li's purpose in wanting to build that kind of primary school?"
No one understood Li Zhiwei's intentions.
"Miss Li's idea is excellent. Today, I intend to invite everyone to a special performance. Let me think it over before I tell you." Zhu Jingchen looked at the eunuchs not far away and then smiled as he invited everyone to take their seats.
Li Zhiwei and Lin Ziyi were seated below the four concubines.
It's a location with a pretty good view.
When Lin Ziyi had some free time, she thought of her unfaithful husband and lost interest in performing.
"Sister Li, be careful later. The only people watching this performance are the families of our subjects," Lin Ziyi said cautiously to Li Zhiwei, still feeling heartbroken. He didn't understand why the Emperor had summoned them here in such a grand manner.
A little smoke rose from the stage not far away.
Soon, some simply dressed eunuchs came out.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time Li Zhiwei had ever seen such a scene, and she was somewhat puzzled.
Several eunuchs awkwardly twisted their waists.
The concubines looked on with some confusion, wanting to speak, but refrained from doing so because the Emperor was present.
Before long, a man appeared, his eyes covered by a thin veil. He was also dressed simply, but unlike the others, he was half-exposed at the chest.
Li Zhiwei clearly heard the gasps from those present.
Li Zhiwei lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
Are all banquets in the imperial palace this antique and elegant?
When Li Zhiwei looked at the man again, she saw that he was twisting his waist in a strange posture.
"Lord Wei's dance is indeed extraordinary."
