So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

"It's good that Lord Zhou has such confidence. Since you can verify it, I don't want you to test it in front of me first.

The old lady's legend has not been seen in the court for many years. This time, I'm letting you bring it up during the lecture. No matter what method you have, you must use it on the day of the autumn banquet." Chu Changling said slowly, casually took the tea served by the maid and took a sip.

Xiao Yueshan was amazed at the look of the tea-serving maid. She didn't realize which action of Chu Changning indicated that he wanted to drink water, but the tea-serving maid had already accurately delivered the tea to the most suitable place.

It turns out that talents are the smartest, cheapest and easiest to train labor force.

"Now that the court believes in scriptures, this old woman's theory will certainly be questioned by many people in the subsequent logical stages. Since Lord Zhou worked in the Hanlin Academy before, he must know that the debate is fierce. I hope you will prepare well and make sure you win." Chu Changling still made the request slowly. The natural sense of superiority of a superior made her never think of seeking the opinions of the two.

Why must I win? What does this have to do with us? What is this woman talking about? Zhou Yao was full of questions, but his personality made him choose to remain silent in the face of such a strange request.

She was used to flattery and fear, and very few people could remain so calm and silent in front of Chu Changling, which made her feel very fresh.

"Mr. Zhou's description of the old woman's attitude towards justice in "Hengxing Lun" is quite detailed, but do you know what this old woman looks like?" She changed the entry point.

Xiao Yueshan felt very strange. It was true that the court was divided into the royalist party and the princess party, but Chu Changling was the only daughter of Empress Yang, and the legend of the old mother was compiled by her grandmother, Empress Yin. In her impression, the royalist party should have surpassed Empress Yang, so why didn't Chu Changning insist on the orthodox status of the Thirteen Classics written by Empress Yang, but instead dug up these myths and legends?

"I don't know." Zhou Yao answered very concisely.

"How dare you!" Chu Changling was angered by his arrogant attitude, and slammed his right hand, which was holding the armrest of the golden nanmu chair, on the couch. Just now, this kid had vowed to prove it, but now he said he didn't know. He was really rebellious. No one in Dazhao dared to tease her!

She shouted angrily, and the secret guards came out. Well, it was the same situation again. Xiao Yueshan was no longer surprised.

"The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force. The old woman is extremely heavy and lives at the center of the earth, pulling everything together. Naturally, no one can see her. If I said I knew, I would be deceiving everyone." Zhou Yao replied calmly, and inconspicuously leaned slightly towards Xiao Yueshan to protect her behind him.

Good boy, you have some courage and are calm in the face of adversity. You should be able to handle the court debate well. Chu Changning admired the two of them in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Since Lord Zhou is so confident, you should perform well on the day of the Autumn Banquet." She returned to the laziness she had at the beginning of the conversation.

"I heard that Madam Zhou's family is well-read and has inherited the true teachings of Lord Xiao from the Imperial Academy. The Xiao family once assisted my mother in compiling scriptures, so it can be said that the family has a long history of learning. Now that the literary path has been opened up, the sermons of Huang Chunru, the Minister of State Affairs of Yingtian, and Lin Guorui, the Minister of State Affairs of Guchang, who were selected this time, were written by your two brothers. It can be seen that the Xiao family has been educating people for generations, and they are still capable of it."

Oh, yes! The original owner's eldest brother was in Gufan Prefecture, and the second brother was in Yingtian Prefecture. I didn't expect that the selection of local officials this time was not entirely due to the high position of the lecturer. The original owner's father, Xiao Zheng, probably didn't know the reason. If he and Madam Yu knew, they would be very happy.

Xiao Yueshan was immersed in the small happiness of being honored, but Zhou Yao had a bad premonition.

"Let Mrs. Zhou stay at home to accompany me in my studies until the autumn banquet is over." She was ready to finalize the matter with her words. Xu Rong heard that Zhou Yao and his wife were deeply in love, so she was too lazy to see Zhou Yao's confirmation and just wanted to take the hostage to solve the problem once and for all.

If the job is done well, the couple can return the home together; if the job is not done well, then the husband should prepare to collect the wife's body.

Both of them sensed the threat in Chu Changning's words.

"I don't think it's appropriate. Time is tight, and I need my wife's help to make the verification equipment." He was unwilling to compromise and didn't want to leave his wife alone in this deep courtyard to accompany this moody old witch.

"If Lord Zhou can't even make a small piece of equipment by himself, how can I be confident that you will be able to debate with the scholars one day when you lecture on the scriptures?" Chu Changning would not give in.

Is this non-negotiable?!

Zhou Yao was a soft-hearted person who wanted to keep his wife to threaten him, and he would never tolerate it. He was so angry that he wanted to flip the table and have a falling out with Chu Changning, but Xiao Yueshan grabbed his sleeve in time to stop him.

"It is my blessing to serve the Grand Princess for a few days." She replied respectfully.

She believed in Zhou Yao's ability very much. Just verifying the law of gravity was a piece of cake for him. If her presence in the Grand Princess's residence could make Chu Changning feel more at ease, it would be fine. Moreover, there was no risk without risk. She was also curious about why the Grand Princess, who was nearly eighty years old, was so young at heart. What was her intention in tossing around like that?

"If Lord Zhou needs anything, you can ask Xu Rong to cooperate. Whether it's money, tools or manpower, my Grand Princess's Mansion can afford it, as long as you do a good job." Chu Changning admired Xiao Yueshan's ability to understand the times and said casually.

"After the autumn banquet, I will come to take my wife home." Zhou Yao said gritting his teeth. In his life, he hated people using their parents and wife to threaten him the most. Now that he had traveled to this time and space, the only person he cared about was his wife. Chu Changning's using Xiao Yueshan to threaten him really touched his reverse scale.

What kind of man are you if you can't even protect your wife?

Chu Changling was very satisfied with his tact, "Zhou Yao, don't blame me for being cruel. If you can really prove the legend of the old lady, it will be a great achievement for me and Dazhao. But if you are just trying to attract attention and trying to get close to me by talking nonsense, I will definitely not let you off easily!

If the argument is successful, you and your wife will be reunited, and I will reward you handsomely; if it fails..." Chu Changning enjoyed the pleasure of controlling people's hearts.

"If it doesn't work, I'll come to you with my head!" He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Yueshan deeply. After being comforted by his wife's eyes, he turned away with a gloomy face.

After Zhou Yao left, Chu Changling looked at Xiao Yueshan, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "You are a wise person, much more sensible than your husband."

Xiao Yueshan lowered his head and remained silent, thinking in his heart how to deal with the next situation.

"But don't worry, as long as Zhou Yao does what I ask, I will naturally not make things difficult for you. You can stay in the mansion with peace of mind and accompany me to read books and chat." Chu Changning still remembered that Xiao Yueshan knew the story of Meng's mother and mother-in-law told by her mother, Queen Yang, and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the reason.

It was late at night, and Chu Changling sent a maid to take Xiao Yueshan to a guest room in the side courtyard to rest.

Xiao Yueshan was thinking alone in the room. She decided to use this time to understand the real intentions of the Grand Princess.
