The college offers not only traditional arts such as calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, but also practical courses such as arithmetic, medicine, agronomy and engineering, aiming to cultivate women's various talents and qualities.

The female students here not only learned knowledge, but also learned confidence and independence.

Girls' technical schools focus more on learning professional skills. In three years, they can master a skill, which can provide them with a better life.

Women's technical schools are free, which can give more women from poor families who are eager to change their destiny the opportunity to receive education, master skills, and thus escape poverty and realize their self-worth.

The state's support for women's technical schools is not only reflected in financial assistance, but also in respecting and promoting women's educational rights.

Another year passed, and Su Jinru was fifteen years old.

After the morning court session ended that day, Su Chenxun left Su Jinru behind and the two chatted in the Yangxin Palace.

"Jinru, in a month, it will be your fifteenth birthday. After you turn fifteen, you will be an adult. Do you have any ideas for your coming-of-age birthday?"

Su Chenxun was a little dazed. His sister was fifteen years old, and he had almost forgotten her age.

After all, Su Jinru gives people the impression of being too steady and not a child at all.

"Royal brother, I don't have any ideas. Anything is fine." Su Jinru didn't care. After all, she had already passed the age of fifteen several times.

"Really don't have any ideas? Then I'll leave it entirely to my sister Su Wanqing. She already has an idea.

Although you have been outside the palace in the past few years, you have not visited your sister very often. She has been thinking about you for a long time and often talks about organizing a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you.

She said, "You are the little princess of our royal family. Even if you don't want a big wedding, you still need the ceremony and blessings."

Su Chenxun's face was filled with a warm smile, and his words were full of doting for his sister.

"Since my royal sister is willing, then I will follow her arrangements." Su Jinru nodded slightly, but a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that she had been too busy in recent years and had no time to spend with her sister. This birthday party was a good opportunity to get together.

"Okay, then I'll tell my sister, and this is confirmed."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Su Jinru didn't care. If this could make her brother and sister happy, then she would just do what they wanted.

As the coming-of-age day approached, the entire imperial city seemed immersed in a subtle joy.

Su Wanqing personally presided over the preparations, striving for perfection in every detail, from the selection of dresses to the invitation of guests.

She not only invited important officials from the court and their families, but also specially invited many talented women.

On the day of her coming of age, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, with a gentle breeze.

Su Jinru, wearing a gorgeous dress and exquisite hair accessories, walked slowly into the carefully decorated auditorium.

At that moment, she seemed to be the focus of the whole audience, and all eyes were on her.

After the ceremony, Su Wanqing even arranged a talent show in a unique way.

The female students took to the stage one after another, some played the piano and sang, some painted with calligraphy, and some demonstrated the skills they learned in the women's technical school.

Su Jinru looked at these young faces and listened to their confident voices, her heart filled with relief and pride.

The Minister of War said: "We have served in the same court with the little princess for so long that I almost forgot that she has not yet had her coming-of-age ceremony."

"Yes, the little princess is really amazing. I remember when she first showed her talent, she was only ten years old.

Today, thanks to the little princess's contributions, the State of Chen is making rapid progress, and the people's lives are becoming more prosperous."

The Minister of Revenue took over the conversation, his eyes full of admiration for Su Jinru.

"Not only that, the little princess's contribution to girls' education will be of lasting benefit to future generations."

The Minister of Rites said with emotion, "She not only founded women's colleges and technical schools, but also personally participated in the curriculum design to ensure that women could learn truly practical knowledge and skills."

"Indeed, the little princess's wisdom and foresight are admirable."

The Minister of Works has always admired Su Jinru, even though Su Jinru was still a child.

As the guests chatted, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Su Jinru did not feel complacent at all when listening to these praises. Instead, her beliefs became more firm.

After the banquet, Su Jinru saw off her royal brother and sister, as well as some ministers and other guests.

"It's so tiring to host a banquet!" Su Jinru pounded her shoulders. She felt that she didn't put in much effort, but she just felt very tired.

After returning to the bedroom, Su Jinru changed out of her heavy dress and put on light casual clothes. Only then did she feel much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

She sat by the window, looking at the stars in the night sky, but her mind was full of thoughts.

Now I am fifteen years old, and there is only one year left before the border war. I don’t know whether the border is stable now.

However, Su Jinru believed that even if foreign countries attacked the State of Chen, they could not attack the State of Chen whenever they wanted.

After all, after several years of hard work, the State of Chen has made great progress in various aspects such as military, economy, and culture.

Border defense armaments have been strengthened, and the development and application of new weapons have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army;

At the same time, the prosperity of the domestic economy also provided solid support for the war, with sufficient food reserves and orderly allocation of materials.

More importantly, the people are patriotic and united in protecting this land.

True peace is not achieved through compromise, but requires strong support.

The next day, after the court session ended, Su Jinru took the initiative to stay and asked, "Brother Emperor, have there been any new developments in the border situation recently?"

There was a certain solemnity in her words, and it was obvious that she was extremely concerned about the safety of the border.

Su Chenxun's eyes darkened slightly when he heard this, and then he sighed softly and said, "Jinru, you are always so thoughtful.

Indeed, the border has been somewhat unstable recently.

A split occurred within the Beidi tribal alliance, with some preferring to coexist peacefully with our Chen State.

But the other part, due to lack of resources, is ready to move south to plunder."

"Bei Di?" Su Jinru frowned. She knew very well that this nomadic people had always been known for their bravery and fighting skills. If a war really broke out, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to the State of Chen.

But she also understood that the State of Chen was no longer afraid of any country. If a war really broke out, she believed that the State of Chen would respond with a stronger attitude.

"Royal brother, do we have a plan to deal with this?" Su Jinru's voice was firm and calm.

Su Chenxun nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "We have strengthened the deployment of troops on the border, and at the same time sent spies to infiltrate Beidi to try to understand their movements.

In addition, I have ordered the accelerated production of new weapons to ensure that the army is at the forefront of equipment."

"Your Majesty is wise." Su Jinru nodded slightly, but thought secretly in her heart.

She knew that war was not just a contest of military strength, but also a comprehensive game involving economics, politics, culture and other aspects.
