Mu Yunxi suddenly became depressed, and her once bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of haze. Yongle, who was standing by, saw this and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you worried about not being able to recruit students?"

Mu Yunxi nodded gently. She was usually confident and composed, but now she showed a hint of worry, a look Yongle had never seen before. Yongle quickly consoled her, "Don't worry! Our academy's tuition is not high, and we also provide food and accommodation for our students. For the average family, such conditions are extremely attractive. I'm sure they'll be vying for us. How could there be no one interested?"

However, Mu Yunxi still frowned, and said worriedly, "But the subjects I want to teach are too unpopular! These courses can't even be used for the imperial examination! Do you think I should consider adding a liberal arts major? After all, everyone studies for the imperial examination. If there are no subjects related to the imperial examination, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract students."

Hearing this, Yongle couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah, you! This isn't the most urgent matter right now. You should first think carefully about how to deal with your father's wrath!"

Mu Yunxi waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm doing this to cultivate useful talents for Zhao State. The Emperor will surely be happy. He's just angry that we acted on our own without consulting him beforehand. At most, he'll just scold us a few times, which is nothing serious. When he calms down and realizes that these courses are of little use in the Imperial College, his anger will naturally subside."

Yongle spread his hands, a playful smile on his face, and said in a soft voice: "Hehe! Anyway, my father loves me the most. Even if he knows, he will just say a few words to me at most. And you, you have already prepared to be scolded, so I will just hide behind you!" After saying that, he winked at Mu Yunxi.

Mu Yunxi looked at her mischievous appearance, feeling both angry and amused. She swiftly stepped forward, pulled Yongle into her arms, and gently pinched her pink cheek with her fingers. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Good on you, you actually used me as a shield and sold me out! I'll teach you a lesson today!" Before she finished speaking, she reached out and began to untie Yongle's belt.

Seeing this, Yongle suddenly panicked. He twisted his body to break free and begged for mercy: "Oh, no, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again..." However, Mu Yunxi was unmoved and did not stop the movement of his hands.

After a while, the two of them calmed down a bit and stopped their intimate actions. Mu Yunxi said, "By the way, can you help me collect some more books? No matter what kind."

Yongle couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at Mu Yunxi with a puzzled look, asking puzzledly: "It's only been a few days, and you've finished reading all the hundreds of books in the study?"

Mu Yunxi nodded and replied softly, "Yeah! I finished reading them all without realizing it. So I have to trouble my good A Yin to help me find new ones."

Yongle recalled the time he had spent with Mu Yunxi. Although she was immersed in a world of books, he hadn't neglected her and continued to play with her as usual. Because the covers of the books were almost identical in color, Yongle initially mistakenly believed that Mu Yunxi had been reading the same books all the time. Unexpectedly, she had read them all. This collection of hundreds of books was actually a collection of precious classics that Mu Yunxi had specially collected after she told him she had read all the books in her study. But who could have imagined that in such a short time, Mu Yunxi would conquer them all again.

"You read so quickly, can you remember what's in the book?" Yongle couldn't help but ask Mu Yunxi curiously.

"You know that I have always had an excellent memory. Normally, I only need to read a book once or twice to remember its key content!" Mu Yunxi replied with a smile, her eyes revealing confidence and intelligence.

Hearing this, Yongle nodded in agreement. After a moment's thought, he raised an eyebrow and said, "In that case, I will go to my father and ask for some of his treasured books. His imperial study houses the masterpieces of many great scholars. I'm sure you will be able to feast your eyes!"

Mu Yunxi thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll keep it well!"

"I've never asked you why you read so many books?" Yongle asked.

"I want to learn about Zhao State through the contents of the books. I am now the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and need to know more." Mu Yunxi said truthfully.

Yongle lifted her chin and said proudly, "You are worthy of being the one I like!"

Seeing her move, Mu Yunxi reached out and grabbed her head, kissing her. The kiss ended. Yongle glared at her angrily, "Just now, you're doing it again! I never realized you were so lustful before?"

Mu Yunxi laughed when she heard that, "I admit that I'm lustful, but I can only match your lust!" After saying that, she quickly kissed Yongle again, then quickly stood up and moved away, avoiding Yongle's little hand that was reaching out for her waist.

Seeing her actions, Yongle laughed. In the blink of an eye, Mu Yunxi took up her post. Arriving at the Honglu Temple, knowing what she was supposed to do, she began to work diligently.

A few days later, the college was announced to be established and a plaque was hung with the name "Zhaoguo Innovation College".

There were two lines of inscription on either side of the academy's gate: on the left: "Agriculture and Medicine: The Foundation Stone," and on the right: "Architecture and Weapons: The Path to Innovation." As for the liberal arts program mentioned earlier, Mu Yunxi and Yongle had discussed it and decided that it could be established, but only as a remedial class. It would be specifically for those with special talents, such as those with talent but who cannot read, who could first learn to read in the remedial class.

Because she didn't want Yongle to have any regrets, Mu Yunxi rushed back during lunch time. After attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, she rode back to the Honglu Temple.

News of Princess Yongle of Zhaoguo's schooling spread quickly throughout the capital. Meanwhile, notices for the Innovation Academy's teacher recruitment program filled notice boards, and people were rushing outside the city, carrying thick bundles of recruitment and enrollment brochures.

In front of the notice board, the person arranged by Yongle was reading the contents of the brochure to the visitors over and over again with great emotion:

Apart from anything else, the two briefs alone caused a stir. Upon learning of this, Emperor Qing Zhao immediately summoned Mu Yunxi and Yongle to the palace. Mu Yunxi was summoned back midway. Only after Mu Yunxi's explanation did Emperor Qing Zhao's anger subside.
