Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 151: Conferring the Title of Princess
Eat without talking and sleep without talking.
The meal was spent in silence. If Song Jinxiu didn't have good hearing, she wouldn't even be able to hear the sound of them chewing.
Seeing the emperor put down his chopsticks, Song Jinxiu also quickly put them down.
The emperor smiled and asked, "Are you full?"
Song Jinxiu nodded quickly, "I'm full, I'm full."
The meal the emperor eats is just so-so. It is exquisite, but the taste is a little lacking.
Putting down his chopsticks, the Seventh Prince Liu Bingze bowed and took his leave. Before leaving, he stole a glance at Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu didn't look at him. Since she was pretending not to know him, there was no need to pay too much attention to him.
She came today because she had something important to say.
In order not to delay the emperor's lunch break, Song Jinxiu said straight to the point:
"Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial College this morning and found that the mathematics curriculum is truly outdated. I would like to recompile the mathematics textbook and open an experimental class at the Imperial College. If the results are good, we can promote it nationwide."
The emperor looked at her steadily, and Song Jinxiu remained calm, waiting for him to digest her suggestion.
Need to rewrite math textbooks?
Open an experimental class?
Promote nationwide?
What a bold girl! Even a great scholar wouldn't dare to say this.
The Queen ordered the palace maids to clear away the food. When she heard Song Jinxiu's words, her eyes flickered and she said, "Your Majesty is discussing state affairs with Dr. Song. May we move to the study?"
The emperor glanced at her. This queen knew when to advance and when to retreat, and she always kept a clear distinction between the court and the harem.
He waved his hand, "It's okay, let's talk about it here."
The queen smiled and nodded, winking at the palace servant to serve tea. She then sat at the desk on the other side and took out the account book to check the accounts.
Song Jinxiu knew that if she wanted the emperor to agree to such a big thing as mathematics reform, she couldn't just talk big but had to come up with real results.
She took out the mathematics book from the Imperial College and also took out the lesson plan she had prepared in advance.
"Your Majesty, I attended a math class today. A second-year student at the Imperial College would need an incense stick of time to solve a square field problem, but using the method I taught, it only takes a moment.
As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper from her pocket and began to write and draw.
The emperor watched her take out a crumpled piece of paper and start writing with a small black stick. He frowned and ordered, "Spread the paper and grind the ink for Lord Song."
Song Jinxiu waved her hand, "No, no, I'll just use charcoal."
She wrote some area formulas.
"Your Majesty, look, for the same problem, I can calculate the area in one go simply by following these formulas. But how long would it take the teachers and students of the Imperial College to calculate using an abacus?"
"The reason I'm revising the math textbook is because these formulas must be combined with the multiplication table. Later, we'll have to extend this to division, squaring, cubing, and equations..."
Song Jinxiu talked freely, and beneath the calm expression of Cangwu Emperor Liu Renxiu, his heart was like a raging wave, fluctuating.
The queen also stared at the girl who seemed to be glowing.
How could such an intelligent person exist in this world? She's so young, and a girl!
She glanced over and saw the emperor's expression, and her body trembled violently.
She saw surprise and determination in the emperor's eyes.
The queen's heart skipped a beat.
Thirteen years old is not too young. With this girl's talent and appearance, she can be summoned into the palace to become a Zhaoyi.
Song Jinxiu looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I request to open an experimental class. Starting tomorrow, I will teach according to my lecture notes."
Liu Renxiu took a sip of tea and suppressed his excitement.
He was able to sit on the throne of emperor because he was well-versed in the classics of various schools of thought, mathematics, and military affairs.
He knew very well how precious the formula the little girl said was.
Fang Tian's calculations took thousands of years to achieve his current achievements. The little girl's formulas have advanced Cangwu's mathematical achievements by at least a thousand years, no, two thousand years.
Mathematics is not just mathematics, it is the foundation of life, using the laws of nature to divide the advantages of the earth.
It concerns people's livelihood, currency, conscription, military rations, military formations, stargazing, and so on and so forth.
It can be said that the advancement of mathematics will promote the development of all industries in Cangwu. This is a major event that concerns the fate of the country.
The emperor glanced at her and asked, "Lord Song, there are no outsiders here. Could you please tell me who your master is?"
Song Jinxiu scratched her head, "Your Majesty, do you really want to know?"
Liu Renxiu nodded, "I really want to know."
Well then, Song Jinxiu said, "My master is the Xuantian Sect's Grand Elder Feng Yu."
"Clang", the teacup next to the emperor fell over.
"Snap", the brush in the queen's hand fell.
"Really?" The emperor slammed the table excitedly.
Song Jinxiu nodded: It seems that Master is very famous?
"Hahaha...Okay, Lord Song, please listen to the order."
Song Jinxiu was stunned and quickly knelt down.
The emperor sat upright, his hands resting on his knees, and spoke in a clear voice, "Song is a beautiful woman with a heart of righteousness, beautiful in appearance and intelligent in mind. She is a woman of honor and merit, and is a great example of the imperial court. I hereby grant her the title of Princess Kangle, a fief of 3,000 households, and a Princess residence. I decree this."
Song Jinxiu was a little stunned. She hadn't achieved anything yet, so how come she became a princess?
Is it really that effective to have a good master?
The queen held her breath for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
When he heard the emperor say that the little girl was beautiful and intelligent, he thought: It's over, this child is going to enter the palace to be a sister.
But after hearing the emperor's announcement of bestowing the title of princess, she immediately smiled and reminded him, "Princess Kangle, why don't you thank the emperor for his grace?"
Song Jinxiu was reminded by the Queen, and then she kowtowed in thanks. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was in a good mood.
Although Xuantian Sect belongs to Cangwu, they only accept disciples based on their qualifications, regardless of their country.
Feng Yu traveled to various countries when he was young, just to find a destined apprentice.
Back then, when he was still a prince, he tried to become his disciple, but was rejected on the grounds that they were not destined to be together.
I never expected that after going around in circles, Feng Suo’s apprentice was right in front of me.
How could he not catch it?
Nature must be caught.
Not to mention the master, just based on the little girl's ability, he had to keep this girl in the royal family.
He had thought about granting her the title of concubine.
But when he saw the little girl's clear eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Besides, such a smart child would only bury her talents if she stayed in the harem.
He is a wise ruler. Since this child is so outstanding, he will confer the title of princess on her and directly tie her to the Cangwu royal family. Then he will not be afraid that she will not assist him wholeheartedly.
He said cheerfully, "You are still young. I will give you a head nanny and two sword-wielding guards. They will protect you well. Just let go and do your work."
Song Jinxiu said quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will do my utmost to serve you."
The emperor was even happier, and with a smile he ordered the chief eunuch Zhao Baohai, "Hurry up and renovate the Princess's Mansion."
"Yes,"
Song Jinxiu was still a little confused. Was she going to become a princess now?
She couldn't help but ask Zhao Baohai, "Eunuch Hai, what rank is the princess? Does she need to kneel when she sees the princess?"
Zhao Baohai smiled and said, "The princess has a fief of 3,000 and is a first-rank official. When she meets the princess, she must show respect according to the rules."
The emperor laughed and said, "Hahaha, little girl, except for me, the queen, and the queen mother, I will exempt you from kneeling to everyone else."
Song Jinxiu happily left the palace, accompanied by Aunt Chang and two sword-wielding guards, Youfeng and Youyu.
Aunt Chang was a third-rank female official in the palace.
The sword-bearing guard You Feng is over thirty years old and is a fourth-rank military officer. You Yu is twenty-five years old and a fourth-rank military officer. They are brothers.
As soon as I got home, rewards from the emperor, the empress dowager, the queen, and the imperial concubine arrived one after another.
