Chapter 237 White Crane Academy
When Pei Jinnian went to the palace to report on his duties, many court officials were astonished by his appearance.
This is way too shady!
However, the emperor was very pleased to see Pei Jinnian.
After all, this is enough to prove that Pei Jinnian is indeed doing real work in Jiangnan.
Pei Jinnian was shocked when he saw Qin Jinzhi in the main hall and the Thousand Bird Guards behind her.
He's only been gone a few days, and yet what has happened in the capital!
When the court session ended, Pei Jinnian followed Qin Jinzhi.
Outside the palace gates, Cui Ying was waiting for Qin Jinzhi to go see the newly built school together.
Looking up, I saw Qin Jinzhi walking out with a black-clad person.
Pei Jinnian bowed and said, "Miss Cui."
Cui Ying looked at him in disbelief, then at Qin Jinzhi, "Pei Jinnian? You were sold to a black coal mine?"
Pei Jinnian was speechless. How come Cui Ying's personality became so unconventional after she got together with the princess?
Qin Jinzhi chuckled lightly, "You should go back to your residence and rest well. I'll invite you to discuss this again tomorrow."
Pei Jinnian nodded. "Jinnian will take her leave."
Cui Ying frowned as she watched Pei Jinnian's retreating figure. "What are you going to discuss with that black monkey?"
Qin Jinzhi led Cui Ying into the carriage.
Pei Jinnian discovered traces of the Chu people in Jiangnan.
Cui Ying's expression turned serious. "There are refugees everywhere in Jiangnan. If people from Chu try to sneak in during the chaos, it will be hard to detect them. The Chu delegation has only been gone from the capital for a short time, yet they are already so impatient."
Qin Jinzhi poured a cup of tea. "Huangfu Nanfeng has lost a lot of his spies this time. He has always regarded Jin as his own and will never allow Jin to leave his control. With floods all over Jiangnan and the people in a panic, it is not only a good time to plant spies, but also a good time to disturb people's hearts."
Cui Ying also said with some worry, "The Chu Kingdom is truly still harboring treacherous intentions."
Qin Jinzhi was not surprised; the states of Chu and Jin were bound to clash sooner or later.
However, she could use these people to do something.
The carriage soon arrived at the newly built school.
Lang Mingyue was directing the servants to move things.
They saw Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying coming over.
Lang Mingyue put down what she was holding.
"Princess! Miss Cui."
Qin Jinzhi watched as Lang Mingyue shed her fine clothes, leaving her in only a white shirt, yet her eyes shone with a new light.
"Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"
Lang Mingyue's eyes lit up. "There really is something I need to trouble you with, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi spoke up, "You go ahead."
Lang Mingyue invited Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying to the inner hall.
There was a plaque on the table.
Lang Mingyue respectfully said, "Please, Princess, inscribe a name for the school."
Qin Jinzhi was somewhat surprised.
Of the three people present, Lang Mingyue and Cui Ying both have excellent calligraphy skills.
But her handwriting, just like her name, is extremely flamboyant.
Cui Ying thought Lang Mingyue's decision was good.
The establishment of this girls' school was entirely due to Qin Jinzhi.
Seeing that Lang Mingyue insisted, Qin Jinzhi did not refuse.
"Have you decided on a name for the school?"
Lang Mingyue smiled slightly, “White Crane Academy.”
The white crane symbolizes beauty, noble character, and the ability to soar high.
She hopes these young women can see a wider world.
Qin Jinzhi said, "Bring me a pen."
Lang Mingyue grinds ink for her.
The four large characters "Baihe Academy" appeared in a vigorous and elegant style on the plaque.
Exuberant and full of vitality!
Lang Mingyue had the plaque hung up.
She never imagined that one day what she envisioned would come true.
The moment Lang Mingyue saw the plaque hung up, he burst into hearty laughter.
She laughed and then tears streamed down her face.
Lang Mingyue's life has not been in vain.
Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying did not disturb her.
He turned and left the school.
Cui Ying asked Qin Jinzhi to take her back to Qianniaosi.
Since she and Prime Minister Cui tore off that fig leaf, she has never returned to the Cui family.
I have always lived in Chidori-tsukasa.
"Why don't you just move into the Prince's mansion?"
Cui Ying sat up. “Everyone is striving for their own path. I got this position as deputy envoy because of your planning, so I have to work harder than others and make achievements to live up to my principles.”
Qin Jinzhi chuckled, "Vice Envoy Cui, you've worked hard."
Cui Ying had an arrogant expression.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
Cui Ying subconsciously looked at Qin Jinzhi, "Won't someone try to assassinate you in the street again?"
Just then, a voice came from outside the carriage, "I am Cui Hao, the Prefect of Qingzhou. I have urgent business with my younger sister. Please forgive me, Princess! Is my younger sister on the carriage?"
Qin Jinzhi raised her chin, "It's for you."
Cui Ying frowned, then pushed open the car door.
"What business does Governor Cui have?"
Upon seeing Cui Ying emerge, Cui Hao immediately said, "Little sister, Mother is seriously ill. Please come home with me at once."
Cui Ying frowned. "What? Mother has always been healthy, how could she suddenly become seriously ill?"
Cui Hao said anxiously, "The situation is still unknown. Little sister, come home with me quickly."
Cui Ying frowned. Her father was heartless, but her mother loved her dearly.
She said to Cui Hao, "I'll take the things and then go back with you."
Cui Ying returned to the carriage and said to Qin Jinzhi, "If I don't have to work tomorrow, remember to come to the Cui family to rescue me."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and nodded.
Prime Minister Cui did not want Cui Ying to stay in Qianniao Division.
My mother suddenly fell seriously ill; there's something fishy about it.
But as a child, she couldn't not go, yet she also couldn't afford to be careless.
If her father uses some excuse to detain her at home, she will have no choice but to rely on Qin Jinzhi to rescue her.
After Cui Ying left with Cui Hao, the carriage returned to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as Qin Jinzhi reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw some water stains in front of the gate.
The courtyard gate was slightly ajar.
Qin Jinzhi sighed and picked up a pebble, somewhat speechless.
The stone opened the gate, and a basin of water fell off the gate.
Water splashed all over the ground.
Qin Jinzhi walked to the big tree next to her and broke off a branch.
She stood outside the yard and tapped the top of the gate with the branch.
A bowl of white flour was poured over the pot.
Qin Jinzhi stepped aside and waited for the flour to dissipate.
"Senior sister, can you come up with some different pranks? You've been doing this ever since I was five years old."
Qin Jinzhi stepped into the middle of the courtyard.
Looking up at the woman lying on her side on the roof, she was supporting her head with one hand and holding grapes in the other.
When the woman saw Qin Jinzhi, her narrow eyes immediately lit up with a smile.
"Little Twig, have you missed your senior sister?"
Qin Jinzhi looked back at the mess below, somewhat speechless.
"Senior sister must miss me."
The woman threw down the grapes and leaped down.
"Senior sister is testing your vigilance."
Qin Jinzhi was speechless. "Wow, a thirteen-year test, that's impressive."
The woman stepped forward and pinched Qin Jinzhi's face with both hands.
"Let your senior sister see, after three years, our little Zhizhi has become a great beauty."
Qin Jinzhi said helplessly, "Senior sister, I took Qulangdan, so no poison can harm me, not even itching powder."
