The grass in the factory should be plucked

"Girls' College?" Zhang Wanwan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Your Majesty grew up in the frontier, has a broad vision and extraordinary knowledge, and naturally does not want all women in the world to be locked up in the boudoir or trapped in the backyard."

Zhang Wanwan deeply agreed with this. She still missed the time when she was a girl, riding a horse freely.

"Who says women are inferior to men? If they also have the opportunity to study and practice martial arts like men, Fuhui believes that women will also produce talented people!"

"Well said!" Zhang Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Fuhui's words really touch my heart!"

The two of them simply found a pavilion and sat down to discuss the matter in detail.

Jiang Li told her preliminary plans for Longmen Academy.

Zhang Wanwan was very excited and praised Jiang Li's idea highly.

"Women's academies can also be modeled after the structure of Longmen Academy, offering subjects such as liberal arts, science, military affairs, engineering, and medicine."

Jiang Li said, "Your Majesty, can you elaborate a little more? After all, women are not as physically strong as men. For example, the Mohist forging technique requires swinging a hammer to forge iron, and most women are not capable of it."

"But weaving and embroidery are women's strengths. Your Majesty can look at how to divide the subjects from a female perspective."

"Besides, Longmen Academy takes a practical approach and is more suitable for ordinary people."

"The women's academy led by the queen will surely be flocked to by noble ladies and daughters of officials. The subjects they study may be more elegant and noble."

"Fuhui's words make sense!"

Zhang Wanwan's eyes sparkled. "Let me think about it carefully. I'll come up with a proposal and discuss it with Fuhui later."

The two were discussing heatedly when they heard a palace attendant announce, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Zhang Wanwan and Jiang Li quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

Nangong Qinghe came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and wanted to look for Jiang Li. When she heard that Zhang Wanwan had called her away, she hurried over to look for her.

But he saw that the two of them were talking happily, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"No courtesy, stay on your own."

After Nangong Qinghe called them up, he saw that both of them were smiling, and couldn't help but smile: "What are Wanwan and Fuhui talking about? Why are they so happy?"

Zhang Wanwan then told Nangong Qinghe about Jiang Li's plan to establish a girls' college.

Nangong Qinghe sighed inwardly, realizing that she really couldn't catch up with A'li. She had just solved the problem of her identity and she was already thinking about what to do next.

He couldn't help but admire her. She did have a unique vision and knew how to assign people to the right positions. No one was more suitable than Zhang Wanwan to be the leader of the women's college.

"But is it the same as the Longmen Academy you were going to run before?" he asked.

“It’s slightly different.”

Jiang Li said, "Compared with other academies in Da Chu, Longmen Academy focuses more on practicality and is suitable for ordinary people."

"The Women's Academy is led by the Empress. There will be many noble ladies enrolled there, and the subjects they study will naturally be more noble."

"Fuhui grew up in the countryside, but he knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song, needlework, etc. The Women's Academy will have to rely on you a lot."

"Fuhui is too modest."

Nangong Qinghe thought of the scene where she interrupted him playing "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", and his heart ached again. How can you say you know nothing? You clearly have a very smart mind!

"Fuhui's calligraphy has the style of a great master." He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and smiled slightly.

"Really?" Zhang Wanwan said with a smile, "Then I would like to ask for a calligraphy."

"My handwriting is not worthy of being presented in a formal setting. Please don't make fun of me, Your Majesty." Jiang Li also laughed.

Nangong Qinghe felt sad when he saw the two of them talking and laughing happily. If A'li was willing to enter the palace and emulate Ehuang and Nvying with Zhang Wanwan, wouldn't that be a good story?

If Jiang Li knew what he was thinking, he would definitely look up to the sky in silence.

If she were to enter the palace, how could she get along so well with Zhang Wanwan? It would be good enough if they didn't fight to the death.

Jiang Li also asked Nangong Qinghe to find a suitable principal for Longmen Academy. After his coronation ceremony, the preparations for the academy would be put on the agenda.

Nangong Qinghe nodded in agreement.

After the mourning ceremony ended that day, Jiang Li left the palace with the other ladies.

Xie Changan was waiting for her outside the palace.

Seeing her come out, Xie Changan walked up to her with a smile and helped her into the carriage.

"Are you tired?" he asked softly.

"I'm not tired at all, but my knees are really suffering." Jiang Li complained.

Xie Changan felt distressed: "I'll apply some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment on you when we get back."

Seeing their sweet expressions, the man was handsome and the woman was pretty, those ladies with royal titles could not help but sigh.

"What a pity! If Master Xie wasn't the one, they would have been a perfect match!"

"Princess Fuhui is so beautiful. Do you think... Lord Xie can keep her?" Some people also whispered.

"Be careful with your words! Don't be fooled by the princess's beauty. She is just like Lord Xie, a vicious person who kills without blinking an eye!"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes on the day of the palace banquet. Princess Fuhui used a soft sword and killed people as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. Don't provoke them!"

"So they are a pair of Rakshasas! In that case, they are a perfect match..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh when she heard them whispering.

After getting on the carriage, she saw that Xie Changan looked worried, so she asked, "Brother Changan, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Changan held her in his arms and sighed, "Your identity can't be hidden for much longer. How are you going to explain it to your adoptive father?"

He learned that it was Liao Wuyong who reported to the late emperor that he and Jiang Li were already engaged, which was why the late emperor issued an edict to grant the marriage.

If Liao Wuyong knew Jiang Li's true identity, how could he forgive them?

Jiang Li also had a headache, so she made a quick decision: "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion now and apologize to him!"

Rather than letting Liao Wuyong learn about the matter from other people, it would be better for them to confess voluntarily and seek lenient treatment.

The Governor's Mansion.

Liao Wuyong saw the couple kneeling in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing? It's not the New Year yet, and my godfather won't give me red envelopes."

Xie Changan held Jiang Li's hand tightly and whispered, "We two have something to hide from our foster father, so we come here to apologize and ask for your punishment!"

Liao Wuyong smiled and said, "What's the urgent matter that requires you to apologize to me?"

Jiang Li raised her head and looked straight at him: "I dare not hide it from you, Lord Governor. The emperor has already reported to the Empress Dowager and will issue an imperial decree soon, allowing the late emperor's childless concubines to leave the palace and return home to marry someone else..."

Facing Liao Wuyong's doubtful gaze, she said word by word, "I... am also on the list of people to be expelled from the palace..."

She gritted her teeth and said, "I am the noble lady Yu who was banished to the cold palace!"

Liao Wuyong was shocked at first, then furious. He stepped forward and kicked Xie Changan to the ground. "You! How dare you hook up with the concubines in the cold palace and commit adultery in the imperial palace!"

Jiang Li was shocked: "Brother Changan!"

She rushed forward to protect Xie Changan, who was spitting blood, and turned to Liao Wuyong, saying with tears in her eyes: "Master Dugong, I was the one who hooked up with him first. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Xie Changan hugged her and said in a deep voice: "It's none of her business. If my foster father wants to kill me or chop me up, I will bear the responsibility!"

Liao Wuyong was so angry that he laughed: "What a pair of unfortunate lovers! Don't call me godfather, I can't afford you! You are the Duke of the County now, how dare I kill you?"

"Godfather!" Xie Changan's eyes were red.

Liao Wuyong said coldly: "My small temple cannot accommodate two big Buddhas, Princess and Master, please go back!"
