Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Therefore, it looks much more serious.

Ye Li was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly saw Gu Qingyuan's serious expression.

She gathered her things and sat aside, as if to keep some distance from him.

Gu Qingyuan didn't talk much to Ye Li the whole day.

He felt relieved but also a little depressed.

But before he could think about it, he saw Gu Qingyuan had already left with her things, as if she didn't want to stay with him any longer.

He smiled bitterly, stood up and left.

After Gu Qingyuan returned home, he found the homework book he had not brought with him on his desk.

Chunfen said, "Young Master, when I came to your room to clean up today, I saw your homework here, but I didn't dare to move it."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, blew away the dust on it gently, and put the homework book away.

In the palace.

A woman in a dragon robe sat on a high seat, with an expression of majesty between her brows that showed without anger.

And the person standing below was actually Master Shen.

Master Shen reported to the Empress: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The Queen nodded and said, "My dear, there is no need to be so polite. Please speak quickly."

Master Shen originally wanted to come to the palace two days ago, but due to some things at home, he had to postpone it.

Master Shen asked first, "Your Majesty, have you heard about General Gu's daughter, Gu Qingyuan, entering the academy?"

The Queen tapped her fingers on the dragon throne beside her. "Of course I know, but for someone as uneducated as her, it would be a waste of time for her to attend the academy."

Master Shen shook his head and said, "I think she might be hiding her incompetence."

"Oh?" The queen became interested and looked at Master Shen below, motioning her to continue.

"I also thought she was here to cause trouble at the academy, so I didn't hold much hope for her and gave her three days to prepare."

After saying this, Master Shen paused and observed the expressions of the people above.

Then she continued, "Three days later, she came to the academy, and I asked her to write an essay on the theme of 'the moon'. However, what she wrote was beyond my expectations."

Master Shen took out the article "Looking at the Moon" written by Gu Qingyuan from his sleeve and handed it to the person above through Eunuch Li.

The Queen took it, glanced at it, then frowned and scolded, "She has no manners. She actually wrote from left to right and from top to bottom. This is..."

After reading only two sentences, the Queen stopped talking abruptly.

She had to admit that it was indeed much easier to read this way, and that Gu Qingyuan, who in her eyes was uneducated and could barely read, could actually write such elegant and beautiful characters.

Through her words, the queen could even see a woman with a bright and flamboyant smile, looking extremely wanton, sitting on horseback, holding a sword in her hand.

He looks very similar to General Gu when he was young.

After the Queen finished reading what Gu Qingyuan had written and put the paper down, Master Shen said, "Furthermore, not only in writing, but even in math class, she has come up with some methods that we have never heard of before. We tried them out, and her methods really save us effort."

The Queen asked curiously, "Can you tell me about it?"

Master Shen thought for a moment and asked, "If we want to solve the problem of pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Try counting one by one."

Master Shen shook his head and said, "But that's not how Gu Qingyuan calculated. She first added up the number of pheasants and rabbits, and then used 2 pheasants and 4 rabbits to represent the number of pheasant and rabbit legs."

The empress was silent for a moment and asked Eunuch Li to get paper and pen.

"Then she multiplied the first equation by two and subtracted it from the equation below for the number of pheasant and rabbit legs, and she got the number of rabbits in question."

The Queen randomly listed a few numbers, and after being reminded by Master Shen, she found that this algorithm was indeed fast and simple.

She had a vague idea in her mind.

"Does Gu Qingyuan have any other solutions to the problem?"

"And the numbers from one to one hundred, adding them up would take a while if we used an abacus. But that Gu Qingyuan actually added them up directly, and the numbers from one to one hundred can be divided into fifty groups like this..."

Master Shen had to admit that this was the first time she had heard of what Gu Qingyuan had proposed, and it was very convenient to calculate.

Eunuch Li, who was standing beside the Empress, was completely bewildered. However, seeing the Empress's expression, he flattered her, saying, "These are just some crooked sorcery."

The Queen looked at him with dissatisfaction and scolded: "Shut up, is it your turn to speak here?"

Eunuch Li immediately fell silent, knelt on the ground and said, "It is my fault for talking too much. I deserve to die."

The Queen asked Master Shen, "Who taught her all this? Was it General Gu? I didn't realize Gu Ruotian has some skills."

"No, Gu Qingyuan claimed that she was taught by a master named 'Ti Qiao'."

"Ti Qiao?" The Queen asked the same question as Master Shen at that time.

"Yes, if we can find this expert and use him for our own benefit..."

The Queen was very tempted by Master Shen's proposal and nodded, saying, "I will order someone to secretly find the expert that Gu Qingyuan mentioned."

She looked very pleased. Eunuch Li next to her had been kneeling on the ground. The empress didn't let him get up, so he didn't even dare to move.

When Master Shen had finished speaking and the Empress was about to leave the hall, she glanced at Eunuch Li and said, "Get up. Don't say anything you shouldn't say in the future."

"Yes." Eunuch Li lowered his head and didn't dare to say another word.

In front of the emperor, one should be careful with words and actions, he shouldn't be so clever!

The Empress and Master Shen walked out of the palace together. Master Shen had never married and was in charge of the affairs of the academy. The Empress asked her, "It's been so many years, haven't you forgotten him yet?"

Master Shen's originally cold expression froze for a moment, he lowered his eyes, and looked much more depressed.

"It's all just some old stuff, that's all."

When Master Shen was young, he loved a man, but the man was later forced to marry by his family and eventually committed suicide by jumping into a well. This incident has always been a knot in Master Shen's heart.

The Queen patted her shoulder, silently comforting her.

"By the way, I plan to meet Gu Qingyuan tomorrow."

The Queen narrowed her eyes. She had only heard some rumors about Gu Qingyuan before, but what she heard from Master Shen now was different from what she had heard before.

"Okay, I will bring her into the palace tomorrow."

……

Gu Qingyuan came to the academy as usual.

When she saw Ye Li again, she wanted to move closer, but in the end she nodded to him and said with a smile, "Good morning, Ye Li."

Ye Li glanced at her and walked quickly inside.

He is always like this, as if he is in a hurry.
