Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Ling Yan nodded slightly in agreement.

He then continued, "Next is the multiplication table. This multiplication table can quickly calculate multiplication operations, such as one multiplied by one equals one, two multiplied by two equals four, three multiplied by three equals nine, and so on. With this multiplication table, a lot of time and energy can be saved in accounting, tax calculation, and other aspects. Whether it is an official or an ordinary staff member, they can easily master it and greatly improve work efficiency."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Wang's face lit up with delight, and he excitedly said, "This multiplication table is absolutely brilliant! With this multiplication table, we will be able to handle various matters more easily and efficiently."

Seeing that he understood, Lingyan continued, "There is also the method of making tables. We can use tables to record various data and information, such as land area, registered population, tax revenue, etc. Tables can make the data clearer and more intuitive, and facilitate querying and analysis."

"For example, we can create a land registration form that lists information such as ownership, area, and fertility of each piece of land. All the key information can be seen at a glance. Moreover, the form can be expanded and refined as needed, making it convenient for us to conduct in-depth research on the data."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang paced back and forth excitedly, nodding repeatedly, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Princess's method is brilliant! The form method can indeed make our work more orderly and efficient. I can't wait to implement this method in the Ministry of Revenue."

At this moment, Old Master Wang's heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the future.

He seemed to see the Ministry of Revenue becoming more efficient and precise under the impetus of these new methods, providing solid financial support for the country's development.

He was thrilled and secretly resolved to lead the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to learn and master these new methods so that the work of the Ministry of Revenue could reach a new level.

Lingyan then began to carefully teach Lord Wang Arabic numerals, the multiplication table, and how to make tables.

Lord Wang is truly exceptionally talented in his field of expertise.

In just a short while, he had completely mastered these things.

Lingyan was originally going to explain the other things mentioned above to him in more detail.

But when I looked up, the sun was already setting in the west.

Oh my god!

Is it already this late?

She even forgot to eat lunch! How incredibly engrossed in her work is she!

She hadn't felt hungry just now, but now that she'd relaxed, she realized how incredibly hungry she was.

Lingyan then took her leave, promising to come back the next day to explain in detail.

Lord Wang also felt somewhat embarrassed, as he had kept the Crown Princess waiting for so long.

So he respectfully saw her out and off.

At this moment, Lord Wang bowed and led the way, proceeding cautiously with a look full of respect and apology.

As he walked, he said softly, "Your Highness, I am truly humbled for taking up so much of your time today. Tomorrow, I will certainly welcome Your Highness and listen attentively to your teachings."

Lingyan replied indifferently, "It's alright. We're both doing this for the sake of Da Zhao. There's no need to be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang became even more respectful and replied, "Yes."

Upon arriving at the gate of the Ministry of Revenue, the other officials bowed their heads in respect to see her off.

Lingyan then nodded slightly to Lord Wang, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, boarded the magnificent carriage.

The carriage slowly started moving and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Only then did all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue raise their heads.

Then Lord Wang swept his gaze over the crowd with an authoritative look and said, "Follow me inside to learn the new things the Crown Princess has taught us."

Hearing this, everyone became excited and followed along with light steps.

As a result, all officials, high and low, in the Ministry of Revenue have learned Arabic numerals, the multiplication table, and how to create tables.

...............

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence, Lingyan couldn't wait to begin her meal.

This meal consisted of twice the amount of food I usually eat before I felt full.

Thinking about it, I only ate a few pieces of pastry around 4 a.m. today, and then I've been busy ever since, so I'm hungry now.

This must never happen again.

Doing this once or twice is fine, but doing it every day will eventually ruin your stomach.

Let's eat meals on time from now on.

Just then, the Ninth Princess arrived.

So Lingyan began to teach her formations quite seriously.

The Ninth Princess also studied with great concentration and focus.

Time passed by in this way, with one teacher and one student going about their work, until night fell.

The Ninth Princess, now with a wealth of knowledge in her mind, bid farewell and departed contentedly.

Xiao Muyao has not returned yet, and Lingyan did not wait for him today.

After taking a bath, she lay down to rest, not even noticing when Xiao Muyao returned.

...............

He Jingchuan went to the military camp after court today.

They didn't return home until the stars began to twinkle.

He also knew that what he said at the victory celebration banquet must have already spread far and wide.

So he was a little unsure how to tell He Jin'an about it.

When he returned to his room, he found his younger brother waiting for him.

Seeing him return, He Jin'an smiled as usual and said, "Brother is back. You must be tired today."

He Jingchuan gave a soft "hmm" in response.

Then I hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

He wanted to tell him everything today, but he didn't know how to begin.

He Jin'an understood his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Brother, please sit down."

He Jingchuan sat down at the round table as instructed.

He Jin'an also sat down opposite him.

Then he looked at his older brother with amusement and said, "I already know about what happened between you and Sister Ling."

He Jingchuan was shocked upon hearing this: "You knew? How did you know?"

He Jin'an replied calmly, "Brother, have you always treated me like a fool? Every time you go out, you come back with a smile on your face. And after that, you're basically not in the manor every night. Once or twice is fine, but after so long, how could I not notice?"

He Jingchuan suddenly realized what was going on.

Others might not be able to see it, but Jin'an is so smart, of course he can see it.

So he asked again in a low voice, "How much else do you know?"

He Jin'an replied, "Not much. Actually, I've known for a long time that my brother likes Sister Ling. At first, I always thought it was unrequited love, but then I realized it wasn't. Because my brother goes out every night, and his mood during the day is full of joy from head to toe. There's no one else but Sister Ling who can make my brother so happy."

"It was then that I realized my brother's feelings weren't unrequited. You two would meet every night, but Sister Ling went out so frequently that I was very afraid His Highness the Crown Prince would find out about your affair. Later, I realized my worries were unnecessary. With His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom, how could he not notice? And if he did notice, why didn't he make a fuss? He treated Sister Ling the same as always, and he had no ill feelings towards my brother either."

"It was then that I realized how magnanimous His Highness the Crown Prince was. He actually tacitly approved of the matter, so I didn't need to worry. I always thought that my brother and Sister Ling's relationship was just a matter of propriety, until last year when my brother's coffin was brought back to the capital and Sister Ling asked me to check if the person had any birthmarks. That's when I realized how close you two were. It turned out that it had reached such a level. But His Highness the Crown Prince must have known about this, yet he didn't seem to care. That's all I know."
