Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

When Ye Jintang asked, he found out that the turtle was sent by Hu Chongjin, who said it was very hardy and easy to raise.

"Admiral Hu is really interesting. I remember when I first met him, he was still a young man who didn't dare to say a word behind Master Luo. But after just a few years, he already knows how to give gifts like this."

Xiao Mo on the side also laughed. He thought Hu Chongjin was honest at first, but after just a few years, he became more sophisticated.

The children liked the little turtle very much and they almost always surrounded it except when they were eating.

Seeing how much they liked it, Ye Jintang asked someone to buy a few small tortoises.

They will be returning to the capital in a few days, so they certainly cannot take the sea turtles back with them, but they can take the land tortoises.

Tortoises are generally docile in nature, so Ye Jintang let each child choose a tortoise and then keep it by their side.

They are affectionate to their owners if they are raised from a young age, and they will not attack their owners. Moreover, tortoises have a long lifespan and can even accompany their owners throughout their lives.

"Luzhu, please take care of this black tortoise for a few days. This is a gift for Pingping."

"Yes."

Pingping did not come out with Ye Jintang and the others. She was always thinking about him. During this time, whenever she bought something for other children, she would save a portion for Pingping.

Ye Jintang tries hard to be fair and take care of the feelings of every child.

Fujiang City is located in the south. After the summer comes, it is so hot that it makes people breathless.

After staying in Fujiang City for half a month, Ye Jintang couldn't stand the heat anymore. They didn't dare to stay any longer, so they packed their bags and set off back to the capital.

When they came, Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo took the inland canal, and when they returned, they took the sea, then went ashore near Dengzhou and took the canal.

By the time we got back to the capital, it was already autumn.

Inside Wutong Palace.

Pingping bravely touched the tortoise on the table. Just as the little tortoise was about to stick its head out, a snow-white claw slapped it, and the frightened little tortoise immediately shrank back.

"Xuetuan, this is my gift to Pingping, you can't beat it to death."

Ye Jintang couldn't help but teach Xuetuan a lesson.

"Meow..."

Xuetuan walked around the table and squatted down. It was the first time for it to see a tortoise and it was very curious.

The flame on Snowball's head has always been there, and Black Bean's little eyes have always been staring at the tortoise.

It was not as good-tempered as Snowball, and jumped directly onto the tortoise's back.

Pingping was afraid that the fire would hurt the tortoise, so she quickly held the little tortoise in her arms.

"You two should stop trying to get my tortoise."

Pingping couldn't help but rub the flame and the snowball. He knew that they were both very smart and would definitely understand what he said.

"The Queen Mother and your father also brought you some small things. They have been sent to your palace. Go back after lunch and see if you like them."

"Thank you, Mother, Father."

Pingping walked forward with a smile and saluted.

Ye Jintang looked at her eldest son who was almost as tall as herself, feeling mixed emotions. Time always slipped away unknowingly, and her son had grown up so big.

The southern tour lasted nearly half a year. After Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo returned to the palace, they entered work mode and were very busy.

Ye Jintang was busy opening a girls' school, and in the early spring of the second year, the first girls' college was established.

Yulin Academy was a courtyard given by Ye Jintang himself. It was built very close to the imperial palace and was named after a grove of yuzu trees in the garden.

The academy established under the leadership of Ye Jintang invited the most powerful teachers in the entire Qin State.

There are certain requirements for the students admitted. They must either be daughters from official families or have powerful relatives in their families. If they are just ordinary wealthy families, they cannot send their daughters to Yulin Academy.

"An'an, Nuan'nuan, how about you two also go to Yulin Academy to study?"

"Is it really possible?"

An An looked at Ye Jintang in surprise. She had also heard about Yulin Academy.

When the noble ladies in the capital heard that it was a girls' academy established by the Empress, they almost all sent all their daughters, both legitimate and illegitimate, to the academy.

In fact, she also wanted to go. After all, Yulin Academy enrolled more than 40 students, and it would definitely be lively with everyone studying together on weekdays.

The noble families in the capital were so eager to send their daughters to Yuzhu Academy, not because they hoped their girls could learn something in the academy, but because they wanted to gain Ye Jintang's attention.

The prince is not young anymore. If Ye Jintang chooses him as the crown princess, the whole family will be able to prosper.

Xiao Mo's harem only has Ye Jintang, and they, the ministers, have already given up on letting Xiao Mo expand his harem.

But the prince is different. He has been living a life of luxury since he was born, and he doesn’t have a princess who can share his hardships.

In this case, the prince's harem will definitely be as full as before, instead of just the queen.

Every noble family in the capital is a shrewd person, and every one of them doesn't want their family to continue to prosper.

In this situation, if the family can have a queen, or a noble concubine, or a favorite concubine, it will bring great benefits to the family.

Ye Jintang was naturally aware of the thoughts of the aristocratic families, but she didn't care much.

She actually had selfish motives in setting up Yulin Academy. An An and Nuan Nuan were protected too well by her, and there was no fighting in the harem, so they lived too comfortably.

Ye Jintang was afraid of raising the two of them into little flowers in a greenhouse, so he wanted them to go to Yulin Academy for classes, so that they could meet more people and experience more things.

In the future, even without the protection of Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang, the two sisters can live well.

An An and Nuan Nuan had no idea how dangerous it was outside. They were full of curiosity and anticipation about going to Yulin Academy.

"You two should not be too eager to be happy. If you go to Yulin Academy to study, you must temporarily hide your identity as princesses. Only in this way can you truly learn something."

"Mother, we are willing."

An An and Nuan Nuan agreed almost in unison, especially An An. She was a few years older than Nuan Nuan and already knew how powerful her identity as a princess was. If she went to the academy and maintained her princess status, it would probably be no different from staying in the palace.

"Okay, since you are willing to go, go to Yulin Academy with the other girls to sign up."

"Mother, can you let Zhuzhu go with us? She is my best friend and I want to go to school with her."

"You should ask Zhuzhu yourself. If she is willing, the Queen Mother will naturally agree."

"it is good."

Only Xiao Mo, Ye Jintang, Liuli, and Shi Bin knew that An An and Nuan Nuan went to Yulin Academy to study.

Liuli also repeatedly reminded Zhuzhu not to tell anyone, and if someone asked, she could say that Anan and Nuannuan were her distant cousins.

They also told others that the prince and princess were old and were learning different things, so they should separate and study their own subjects.

The princess's study companions also went home and no longer studied with her.

Yulin Academy opened its doors on a spring day when flowers were in full bloom. On the first day of school, the entire Yulin Street was blocked by all kinds of sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages.

Liuli and Ye Jintang came together to send the three girls to the academy.
