The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

Cen Jiexiao returned to the academy and told Yu Lan, Xiao Zhi, and Ai Wuling about the "deal" between herself and Li Lingxuan. After hearing this, the three of them were all confused.

"Is this princess out of her mind? She's giving up her good life as a princess of the Great Zhou to rush to marry in that barbarian land?" Xiaozhi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Could she really have fallen for that Xixiang Crown Prince?"

Yu Lan also frowned and analyzed, "This matter is not simple. The Queen Mother has many followers, and Li Lingxuan is a favorite of the Queen Mother. Why did she..."

"Why would she choose to leave her high position and take up a humble position, and go on a marriage alliance?" Ai Wuling took over the conversation, "Unless... she has other motives."

Cen Jiexiao nodded and explained, "Li Lingxuan's move may seem absurd, but it's actually part of a larger plan. She's trying to use the Xixiang marriage to win over the court officials for the Queen Mother and strengthen her faction. At the same time, she'll also be able to use the opportunity to exclude those who support the Emperor's faction. Even small-timers like me might not be spared."

"She's also targeting you, Dean?" Yu Lan was shocked. "What does she want to do?"

"What else can I do? This woman has disliked me for a long time. The incident with the Women's Youth Newspaper made her lose face in front of the Queen Mother. She feels that she has not been able to control our Zhaoyin Academy well, so this is the perfect opportunity for revenge." Cen Jiexiao sneered, "However, she hadn't expected that I would agree to her 'request'."

"What?!" Xiaozhi exclaimed, almost jumping out of his chair, "Dean, are you crazy?! Helping her, isn't it just tying myself up in knots..."

"Help! Really help, but not for free." Cen Jiexiao interrupted Xiaozhi, a sly glint in her eyes. "You have to understand that Li Lingxuan's proactive request for help is like handing us a handle on herself, and this handle..."

Cen Jiexiao paused deliberately, looking at the nervous expressions of the three people, and said word by word: "It is very likely that it will be the life-saving talisman of our academy in the future."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and started brainstorming about this "scandal plan".

Xiaozhi spoke first. She grabbed Cen Jiexiao's arm and said excitedly, "Dean, I know what we should do! We can use the Women's Youth Daily to compile some articles about how brave and heroic Prince Xixiang was, how beautiful Li Lingxuan was, and how they fell in love at first sight and then fell in love again. Then find someone to spread the news. I guarantee that within half a month, the whole of Kyoto will know about their 'love affair'. Then, everything will go smoothly!"

"That's a great idea!" Ai Wuling also became interested. "We can even spice things up and say that Prince Xixiang met the princess once when they were young, and that they had a secret crush on each other back then. This time he came to the Great Zhou, he was determined to marry the princess, even at the cost of a war between our two countries. This way, not only would we be able to fulfill Li Lingxuan's wish, but we could also make the Xixiang Kingdom bear the stigma of 'using power to oppress others'. Isn't that wonderful?"

"You guys, you're so busy making up stories, how come you forgot the most important point?" Yu Lan shook her head helplessly. "There's smoke without fire, there's smoke without fire. If you want the people to believe you, you need some solid evidence."

"Yes, it's not enough to just say they are in love. We have to create some opportunities for them to 'meet by chance'." Ai Wuling suddenly realized, "I remember there is a Yue Lao Temple outside the city. It is said that men and women who pray there will get married. Why don't we..."

"No!" Cen Jiexiao decisively rejected Ai Wuling's proposal. "The Yue Lao Temple is crowded with people and their identities are special. If they are recognized, it will be bad. We need to think of a more private and romantic place."

"Secret? Romantic?" Xiaozhi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up. "I got it! I heard there's an apricot blossom forest on the outskirts of the city. Every year when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, the scenery is breathtaking. It's also sparsely populated, making it the perfect place..."

Before Xiaozhi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yu Lan. "The peach blossom forest is beautiful, but it's too deliberate and seems fake. If we want to create a chance encounter, it would be more natural to have an ordinary encounter. It would be better to..."

Yu Lan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Why not choose Zhaoyin Academy?"

"Zhaoyin Academy?" Everyone was stunned and looked at Yu Lan in confusion.

Yu Lan smiled slightly and explained, "Our dean has the support of Lord Han, who is also the teacher of the current emperor. Prince Xixiang is visiting to promote cultural and educational exchanges between the two countries. I believe that in addition to the Imperial College, Zhaoyin Academy is the most worthy of the title. When the time comes, we only need to ask the princess to do this and that..."

Yu Lan whispered her plan in Cen Jiexiao's ear. After listening to her, Cen Jiexiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

The next day, Cen Jiexiao came to Wuyue Manor again to find Li Lingxuan.

Sister Cen Xiao excitedly laid out her "chance encounter" plan, leaving Li Lingxuan stunned. What the hell was going on? A passing encounter at Yue Lao Temple, a chance meeting in the apricot blossom grove, a chance encounter at Zhao Yin Academy, and the "Ju Yue" project team? How many bizarre and bizarre things were running through Sister Cen Xiao's head?

"Wait, wait," Li Lingxuan hurriedly called out, like a music box on pause. "What the hell is this Juyue Group you're talking about? And what do you mean by just asking me to do what you say? What do you think I am? A puppet?"

Seeing Li Lingxuan's angry expression, Sister Cen couldn't help but burst out laughing. This princess, usually arrogant and domineering, unexpectedly looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. She was quite adorable.

"Princess, calm down," Cen Jiexiao suppressed a smile as she walked over to Li Lingxuan and gently patted her shoulder. "The Juyue Group is responsible for creating public opinion in our academy, but for now, it's here to serve you, Princess."

"Stop! I don't care what group you are in, just tell me what you want me to do." Li Lingxuan slammed the table and interrupted Cen Jiexiao.

"It's simple. If you want to attract the attention of Prince Xixiang, first of all, you have to let him see your 'specialness'." Cen Jiexiao smiled mysteriously.

"Special?" Li Lingxuan raised her eyebrows with a look of disdain. "I, Li Lingxuan, have always been special since I was a child. Do I still need your teaching?"

"Yes, yes, Princess, you are the most special, but as for Prince Xixiang... He has probably seen more beauties than you have eaten meals. It is not easy to impress him." Cen Jiexiao deliberately prolonged her voice and looked Li Lingxuan up and down.

Li Lingxuan was perplexed by what Cen Jiexiao said, but she was always stubborn and naturally would not admit that she was persuaded. "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want me to do."

Seeing that Li Lingxuan had taken the bait, Cen Jiexiao curled her lips into a sly smile. She leaned close to Li Lingxuan's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Li Lingxuan's expression suddenly became colorful, as if a color palette had been overturned.

"are you crazy!"

"Shhh..." Cen Jiexiao quickly made a hushed gesture and said with a smile, "Princess, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Just tell me, do you want to be the Crown Princess of Xixiang?"

Li Lingxuan gritted her teeth, but ultimately gave in. "Okay, I'll listen to you! But you have to promise me that if this succeeds, you'll fully support me in the Crown Princess matter."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Cen Jiexiao agreed immediately, but secretly smiled in her heart. This Li Lingxuan, really obedient!
