The wives of the concubines are empresses

The teachers have officially started the class, and Yun Yangfan explained the situation of each class to the emperor along the way.

"At the beginning of the school year, a total of 2,000 students registered. The introductory class had 300 students, aged between three and eight, including those who had not yet started. The junior class had 500 students, for students aged seven to ten. The middle class had 500 students, for students aged eleven to thirteen.

The advanced class has 500 students, targeting students aged 14 to 17. The large class has 200 students, targeting students aged 16 to 20.

Hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yunshan. From now on, the management of the Private Men's Academy will be up to you."

Yun Yangfan bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

The official position he holds now is just an honorary one, and he is just receiving a salary for nothing.

A part-time job arranged by the emperor, a real job, can finally reflect some of my ideals and ambitions.

"Your Majesty, would you like to see the students?"

"Why don't we go to the big class? There might be some surprises among the two hundred people." She loved surprises the most, and it would be even better if she could meet a few talented people.

"I will take you there. Please go that way."

The decorations along the way were all according to her requirements. Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly in her heart.

It seems that not all the people in the Yuan Dynasty were insignificant. Some of them might be hiding their abilities, or they might be suppressed.

Liu Cheng followed closely behind with a whisk in his hand, and Shangguan Wanjun gave him instructions.

"Lunch banquet for the Third Young Master and the Third Madam."

Three Shao: Shao Shi, Shao Fu, Shao Bao; Three Tai: Tai Shi, Tai Fu, and Tai Bao.

Liu Cheng bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Yun Yangfan explained along the way: "Your Majesty, the large class has 200 people, divided into 40 groups each, with A-Excellent, A-Medium, A-Last, B, C, and D, a total of six groups."

Yun Yangfan took Shangguan Wanjun into a classroom where all the students were sitting upright.

The teacher who was giving the lecture was obviously stunned when he saw the bright yellow figure. Shangguan Wanjun waved her hand, and the lady nodded in understanding and quietly stepped aside.

The two walked to the lecture hall, and Yun Yangfan looked at all the students and solemnly introduced the founder of the Folk Men's College.

"Dear students, this is the founder of our academy. Do you know who she is?"

A student raised his hand, and Yun Yangfan raised his hand to ask the student to answer.

The student bowed and saluted, "I am honored to meet you, Principal. The fairy founder beside you is the ruler of our Yuan Dynasty, and perhaps she will be your immediate superior in the future.

I, the student, greet the emperor. May the emperor be saluted."

Hearing this answer, Shangguan Wanjun smiled faintly and looked at the young man who spoke. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He answered the question neither humbly nor arrogantly, and knew the right measure very well.

At the last moment, the young man bowed respectfully and politely, and his quick response made her look at him with admiration.

"Excuse me, what is the name of this student, and what books has he studied?"

The young man bowed again and said calmly, "I am Shi Xuelei, a student who has read the Three Character Classic, the Analects, Mencius, the Book of Rites, the Great Learning, and the Doctrine of the Mean."

Seeing that the other party had read so many books, Shangguan Wanjun truly admired the power of the ancients.

After receiving instruction from the Grand Tutor for some time, Shangguan Wanjun learned that the Four Books, namely the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, the Great Learning, and the Doctrine of the Mean, are also known as the Four Books of the Masters, and are the primary books studied by Confucian scholars throughout the ages.

"Yes, have you ever taken the imperial examination?"

Shi Xuelei looked slightly embarrassed: "I have only passed the Tongshi exam. I am currently only a Xiucai. I have not taken the Xiangshi exam yet."

"This year's Autumn Examination is over. Let's take a moment to calm down and wait for the next one. Please sit down first."

Shi Xuelei bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After randomly testing the knowledge of several students and inspecting the other five classes, Shangguan Wanjun gained a lot and was in a happier mood.

When the five adults saw the emperor walk in with a smile on his face, they secretly winked at each other.

"My dear ministers, you have been waiting for a long time. I was so engrossed in the students' studies that I asked them questions. How long have you been here?"

The five of them bowed in unison, "Your Majesty, it won't be long."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Master Yun who had returned with her and gave him a faint smile: "Then let's begin the meal."

The food on the table was obviously much richer than usual.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the crispy and delicious fried oyster mushrooms, and her arms were crispy from chewing them.

"Don't look at me, eat quickly. This fried chicken breast and the pork tenderloin are both very good, everyone should enjoy them."

The six people used their serving chopsticks to pick up the food and put it into their bowls to taste.

Shangguan Wanjun didn't like eunuchs serving her food, she preferred to pick up the food herself.

"How do you feel, my dear ministers?"

Taifu Yun spoke first: "It tastes very good."

"Don't you think the skin is crispy and the filling is tender, and the taste is salty and fragrant?"

The six people nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is right."

Famous palace dishes include fried chicken breast, pork tenderloin with lotus leaves, four kinds of food, four kinds of sauce, four kinds of pastry, small sugar-coated steamed bread, pea yellow, kidney bean yellow, etc.

Among them, the lotus leaf tenderloin on the dining table is a dish shaped like a lotus leaf, which requires a lot of ingredients.

Pork tenderloin: minced and used for stuffing.

Soaked shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots: Dice, blanch and mince, then mix with the minced pork tenderloin.

Chopped green onion and ginger: add flavor.

Eggs: used to make egg skin.

Minced ham and shredded rapeseed: used for decoration.

Water starch, salt, sesame oil: used for seasoning and thickening.

Salad oil: used for frying pork tenderloin.

Production process:

How to make the filling: Mix minced pork tenderloin, diced mushrooms, diced winter bamboo shoots, chopped green onions and chopped ginger, add salt, water starch and sesame oil, stir well to make the filling.

To make the egg wrap: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the remaining salt and cornstarch, and mix well. Grease a pan with oil, pour in an appropriate amount of egg mixture, and spread into a round egg wrap about 8 cm in diameter.

Wrapping and shaping: Spread the egg wrapper evenly, spread the egg liquid evenly around the edges, place the meat filling in the middle, pinch it tightly with chopsticks, and form the tenderloin dough. Sprinkle minced ham and shredded rapeseed at the edge for decoration.

Frying: Put the prepared pork tenderloin into a 50% hot salad oil pan and fry until cooked. Remove from the pan and drain the oil.

The production of this dish requires not only skilled techniques, but also careful handling of ingredients and precise control of the heat to ensure that the final product is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and has an attractive appearance.

Halfway through the meal, Shangguan Wanjun put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"My dear ministers, thank you all for your hard work in preparing for the academy. Come, I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Seeing the emperor raise his glass, several people seemed uneasy and frightened, but they were all experienced officials and soon behaved naturally and easily.

"Your Majesty, please!"

After a glass of wine, the six adults started talking more.

Shangguan Wanjun listened quietly, agreeing from time to time. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good and they gained a lot of knowledge.

After the banquet, Shangguan Wanjun touched her bulging belly and sighed.

Liu Cheng, Aunt Cheng, Mu Xiang and others smiled at each other.

After eating and drinking, the next thing that happens is sleepiness.

Shangguan Wanjun covered her mouth with her hand and yawned as if no one was around. She was really sleepy.
