Chapter 104 Yun Mengyao Requests for a Meeting
Inside the palace, the newly selected beauties came to pay their respects to Queen Wang.
"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress!" The newly promoted noble lady Li paid her respects to the Empress in a polite manner.
Queen Wang glanced at Concubine Li and said with a smile, "Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After expressing her gratitude, Concubine Li sat down in her seat.
Queen Wang said kindly, "Lady Li is so well-mannered. I like her as soon as I see her."
"Thank you, Queen, for the compliment."
Another concubine saw Concubine Li and couldn't help but look at her a few times. She kept muttering "Fox Charm!"
The Queen looked at Concubine Li with a gentle gaze and said softly, "I am very pleased to see you. I would like to give you some small gifts. Do you have any preferences?"
Concubine Li said modestly: "I have neither made any merit nor worked hard, so I dare not rashly accept the generous reward from the Empress." After that, she politely declined the Empress's gift with an even more respectful attitude.
"You have served the emperor hard these days and you have done a great service. Jingmo, take out the red jade bead from me and give it to Lady Li."
Queen Wang put it on Concubine Li’s head and said, “This is a red jade bead necklace imported from the Western Regions. It is bright in color and suitable for young people to wear. It looks too gorgeous on me, but it is just right for you.”
When Concubine Li saw that the Empress was determined to give her a reward, she stood up in fear to express her gratitude.
Queen Wang glanced at the ladies and said, "You also need to work hard, hoping to receive the emperor's grace soon and continue to have children for the royal family and add to its prosperity. I will also reward you generously."
Upon hearing this, all the beautiful ladies bowed and said in unison: "We, the concubines, will remember the Queen's teachings and will live up to her high expectations."
After greeting each other, everyone slowly withdrew according to etiquette. Each of them had their own thoughts, but they all showed respect.
At this time, the Imperial Concubine walked hurriedly with dignity and majesty, and she walked straight to the Queen, her eyes were like torches, and her words were full of sharp questions and deep dissatisfaction: "Queen, are you afraid that your youth will fade away and your position will be shaken, so you want to use the power of young girls to stabilize your throne?"
Queen Wang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of smile, her eyes deep and calm, as if everything was under control: "Royal Concubine, aren't you worried that your youth is gone and you are powerless to win favor? That's why you came to me. Even the most beautiful woman can't resist the passing of time!"
The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly and said, "No matter how fleeting the years are, I am still better than some old bitter melons."
Queen Wang's face darkened instantly. She slowly walked to a pot of blooming peonies, her eyes revealed a fierce look, and she casually picked a flower and sniffed it gently. Then she sighed softly:
"No matter how red this peony is, it is still enchanting and plain, far inferior to the beauty and fragrance of the peony."
Seeing this, the Imperial Concubine walked slowly and arrogantly to Queen Wang, a cold smile appeared on her lips, and she responded leisurely: "Sister, what you said is very true, but who is the peony and who is the peony, who can know until the end..."
Then she slowly adjusted her hair bun and said, "I hope you will take good care of yourself. As you get older, it will be bad if you hurt your body. It is unknown if the position of Queen will change."
After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she turned and left, her back looking resolute and arrogant.
Queen Wang stared at her departing figure and slowly sat down, her eyes far-reaching. In this harem, favors are fleeting, only status and power can last forever. When she ascends to the position of Queen Mother, she will slowly settle accounts with that bitch.
……
When Yuan Ying did not attend court on weekdays, he went to Yuelu Academy to teach modern mathematics to the children there.
She carefully compiled a set of modern mathematics textbooks for students to study.
Yuan Ying's teaching materials are known for their simplicity and clarity. She skillfully transforms complex mathematical theories into language and examples that are easy for children to understand.
Each chapter is equipped with vivid illustrations and exercises, aiming to stimulate children's interest and curiosity in mathematics. In the classroom of Yuelu Academy, Yuan Ying always patiently answers every child's questions and captures the light in every child's eyes with her wise eyes.
On this day, Yuan Ying was preparing lessons in the study room as usual, while Murong Xuanyi was grinding ink for her. However, this tranquility and beauty was suddenly broken by the voice of the palace guards.
"Your Excellency, there is a girl at the door asking to see you!"
Yuan Ying and Murong Xuanyi looked at each other.
Girl? What girl? Search quickly in your mind.
Before she could think about it, she had already followed the guards to the gate of the mansion.
When she looked closely, she found that this woman was the one who helped her in Yanchun Tower that day. She couldn't help but feel surprised and grateful.
Yun Mengyao stepped forward slowly: "My humble daughter Yun Mengyao greets Master Yuan!"
Yuan Ying stepped forward to help Yun Mengyao up and said, "Miss Yun, there's no need to be so polite."
The two of them walked into the mansion, and Yuan Ying led Yun Mengyao to the guest seat. After she sat down, Yuan Ying asked directly, "Miss Yun, is there something you want to see me for today?"
Yun Mengyao's expression became a little solemn. She suddenly knelt on the ground, with a hint of pleading in her voice: "Sir, I have an unreasonable request."
Seeing this, Yuan Ying quickly helped her up and said in a gentle voice, "Miss Yun, please stand up. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you with all my strength."
Yun Mengyao raised her head, hope glittering in her eyes: "Sir, I have adopted twelve orphans in recent years, all of them are girls. They are smart, but they have no school to go to.
I have heard about the academy you have established, and I would like to ask you to allow these children to have the opportunity to enter the academy, so that they can acquire knowledge and plan for their future.
Yuan Ying's heart moved. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman could be so loving.
"Miss Yun, please get up quickly. I have accepted your request." Yuan Ying said with a smile.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Yun Mengyao's eyes, and she stood up and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Master Yuan. I have no way to repay you. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay your kindness."
Yuan Ying waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor from Yuan. Miss Yun, don't take it to heart."
Yun Mengyao gently unfolded the handkerchief, and the silver note wrapped inside came into view. She handed it forward respectfully and said softly, "Sir, this is all the silver I have saved over the years. If it is not enough, I will do my best to find other ways to raise it."
Yuan Ying smiled at her and said, "When I first opened the academy, it was to provide the poor children of the people with an opportunity to study, regardless of gender, and I didn't charge a penny."
Yun Mengyao was filled with admiration and emotion when she heard this. Her gratitude was beyond words, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Sir, you are truly a great and upright person!"
Yuan Ying smiled with satisfaction and said gently, "You will take them to the academy tomorrow. I will make proper arrangements to ensure that they can share the blessing of quality education like other children."
Yun Mengyao bowed deeply again and said, "Thank you for your grace, sir."
When Yun Mengyao left Yuan Mansion, her steps revealed unprecedented ease and determination, as if she had foreseen a bright future for those children.
After Yun Mengyao left, Yuan Ying returned to the study. Murong Xuanyi quietly stepped forward and gently put his arms around her waist, with a hint of curiosity and tenderness in his voice: "How did you and Yun Mengyao meet?"
Yuan Ying recounted how he was rescued by her in Yanchun Tower after being assassinated. Then he asked, "Do you know her?"
Murong Xuanyi nodded casually and said, "As the most famous prostitute in the capital, I naturally know."
Yuan Ying's eyes darkened: "You are so good, Murong Xuanyi, you actually visited a brothel?"
Yuan Ying didn't look down on the women in brothels, as there was no distinction between high and low professions. But if Murong Xuanyi really lingered there, she would inevitably feel resentful.
Murong Xuanyi quickly explained: "What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" He further explained: "There are also noble people in brothels, like Yun Mengyao, who only sells art but not her body."
Murong Xuanyi sighed softly, "Yan'er, you and I have known each other for a long time, don't you know me well enough?"
Yuan Ying stared at Murong Xuanyi, and the doubts in her eyes gradually dissipated. Of course, she believed in his character.
She hugged Murong Xuanyi back and smiled evilly, "I believe you! You wouldn't dare to do that, or I'll break your third leg..."
Murong Xuanyi didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but after a moment he suddenly realized what he meant. His cheeks instantly turned red, and he said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yuan Ying's laughter was clear and pleasant, and he said with a hint of mischief: "As you command, Your Highness Prince Jing!"
Murong Xuanyi pinched her nose helplessly and said, "Naughty!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, with a cunning light flashing in Yuan Ying's eyes, and Murong Xuanyi had a doting look on his face. He let her act silly, but he also secretly reminded himself that he should be more careful with his words and actions in the future, so as not to be teased by this clever girl and blush again.
