Chapter 25 The Emperor Wants to Watch the Literacy Competition

The literacy competition at the end of the month is getting closer and closer. Shangguan Wanjun is looking forward to it and even wants to watch it in person.

"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for you to go. This is just a small literacy competition. You are of such high status that you don't need to be there in person."

Shangguan Wanjun knew that if she spoke out, she would be opposed.

"Eunuch Lin, don't get excited. Take care of yourself. I won't go."

Shangguan Wanjun felt a little regretful, after all, it was she who proposed this activity.

Concubine Wu went to the imperial study and saw the emperor's sad face.

"Your Majesty, are you troubled by anything?"

Shangguan Wanjun looked up and said, "I regret that I can't go to the literacy competition tomorrow."

Concubine Wu Xuanfeng understood what the emperor meant: "Otherwise, your husband will go and see it, and then tell the emperor about it?"

Shangguan Wanjun's eyes lit up: "I think it's okay, you take the painter with you."

Concubine Wu looked at the girl in surprise.

"You want the artist to draw it?"

Shangguan Wanjun smiled in appreciation: "My dear concubine, you are smart. Paint more. Maybe I can open a museum in the future."

Concubine Wu frowned slightly: "Museum? What is this?"

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly stood up and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this? We can open a museum and collect admission fees to make money to fill the national treasury."

Suddenly she thought of modern zoos and wondered if it would be feasible.

Wu Guifei was moved by the phrase "making money to fill the national treasury" and felt uneasy.

The emperor really wants to be a wise ruler and change the situation of the Yuan Dynasty.

As a subject, he has the obligation to cooperate to the best of his ability.

"Your Majesty, is this museum you mentioned feasible?"

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Concubine Wu stood up and said, "My husband is a minister and a husband. I want to share your worries."

Shangguan Wanjun looked deeply into the man's eyes and found that his eyes were clear and there was a hint of determination.

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you have it easy."

This smile touched the straight man's heart and made him feel soft.

That night, Shangguan Wanjun walked into the Kang bedroom of Concubine De Mu Wennian as night fell.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her hand: "Excuse me, but have you finished your meal?"

De Fei Mu Wennian shook her head: "No."

How could he dare to eat in advance when the emperor was not here?

"Pass the meal around."

Shangguan Wanjun walked straight to the chaise longue, stroked her dress and sat down.

Defei Mu Wennian lifted her robe and sat down.

"How is the crafting of the item I want going?"

De Fei Mu Wennian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you will see everything tomorrow."

Shangguan Wanjun was a little excited, wondering how the box she drew would turn out.

On the dining table, there were eight dishes: braised chicken wings, Wanfu meat, mandarin duck prawns, white oil taro, cold-mixed black fungus, egg custard, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and tomato egg soup.

Shangguan Wanjun sat down first. Today she changed into a bright red palace dragon robe.

"My dear, please have your meal."

It was the first time for the two of them to dine together, and the atmosphere was somewhat unnatural.

Shangguan Wanjun turned her embarrassment into food and worked hard to eat.

The quick and elegant meal stunned Concubine De Mu Wennian.

This was the first time in his life that he saw a woman eat so quickly and gracefully. How did she do it?

Feeling the gaze on her, Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and met the other person's surprised and shocked eyes.

"You hungry?"

After coming to her senses, Concubine De Mu Wennian realized that she had lost her composure in front of the emperor, and stood up and bowed to apologize.

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my misconduct."

There was no word of punishment, only a chuckle.

"Hurry up and get up, don't disturb me while I'm eating." She had to eat her fill so that she would have the energy and spirit to handle state affairs.

Defei Mu Wennian thanked the emperor in fear and stood up. When she looked down, she saw that the girl had already started eating seriously.

Defei Mu Wennian suppressed her emotions, lifted her navy blue robe, sat down, and began to eat seriously.

The two of them didn't say anything else, and the entire dining hall was very quiet.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shangguan Wanjun leaned back on the chaise longue.

"Your Majesty, please drink some hawthorn tea to help with your digestion."

Shangguan Wanjun took it and drank it.

Aunt Cheng looked at Concubine De.

"Does Concubine De need it?"

Defei Mu Wennian said lightly: "No, thank you!"

He eats a lot, but not as much as the emperor.

Thinking of the girl who was lazily lying on the chaise longue after eating too much, Concubine De Mu Wennian thought for a moment and looked at the girl and spoke.

"Your Majesty, how about taking a walk in the courtyard?"

Shangguan Wanjun, who had closed her eyes to rest, opened her clear and beautiful eyes.

"Okay, let's go."

The two people who were taking a walk to digest their food had been strolling leisurely in the courtyard for a quarter of an hour.

"Is your courtyard too monotonous?"

Apart from the vegetables, there were no other plants.

Defei Mu Wennian was stunned: "Not bad."

Shangguan Wanjun held her forehead and said, "You can also grow some plants. Many plants can be used for other purposes, such as medicinal herbs, making tea, and making cakes and snacks."

When she was a princess, she had already planted flowers in the fields privately. Not only did they look beautiful, but they could also be made into medicine, or used as seasonings later on.

Thinking of the roses of this season, she had an idea in her mind.

"Do you think the roses will sell?"

De Fei Mu Wennian was stunned by the question: "Selling plants?"

The kind that plants together in pots?

Shangguan Wanjun pondered: "Or maybe just open a flower and plant shop?"

Defei Mu Wennian was stunned: The emperor has thought so much at once?

Thinking of the empty treasury, he also frowned.

His father is the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the court's money, but the national treasury is very poor now, and it is probably worse than that of a rich family.

The attendant Mo Youyan and the bodyguard Chang Zhao were also filled with surprise.

Why does the emperor always talk about making money?

The more Shangguan Wanjun thought about it, the more feasible it seemed: "Where is the study? I need to write a set of rules quickly."

Seeing the girl walking quickly towards the study, Concubine De Mu Wennian also followed closely with big strides.

Seeing the young emperor sitting down, he took the initiative to grind the ink, and Aunt Cheng quickly took out the rice paper and spread it out.

Shangguan Wanjun took out a pen and paper and began to organize her thoughts and write. Her handwriting was now quite neat and beautiful.

Seeing the serious girl writing with her head down under the lamp, I feel that she has a scholarly temperament, which makes her look gentle and graceful.

After writing the rules, Shangguan Wanjun began to draw and roughly mark the objects on the design.

Then she put down the red brush and blew on it gently a few times, making the writing dry faster.

"I look forward to the day when I become a rich woman." Haha, the more I think about it, the happier I become.

Listening to the girl's mumbling words, Concubine De Mu Wennian smiled gently for the first time.

"The whole world belongs to you."

Shangguan Wanjun tilted her head and asked casually, "Really?"

De Fei Mu Wennian was stunned: "Isn't it?"

Shangguan Wanjun chuckled calmly: "Internal and external troubles, natural disasters continue. If anyone in this world doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid..."

She didn't say the rest, but everyone understood.

Yes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

He didn't expect that the emperor, at such a young age, already knew so much and saw things so clearly. Was she still the pampered girl?
