Chunhua instinctively wanted to go with her, but then she thought that everyone at the girls' school was one of her own, and Wen Yuanshu had guards following her every step of the way, so she nodded and the two of them split up.

When Wen Yuanshu arrived at the girls' school, she felt a headache coming on as soon as she saw the familiar procession of the eldest princess at the entrance.

Wen Yuanshu took two deep breaths at the door before stepping inside.

In the courtyard, the female official was kneeling on the ground, and Princess Anping seemed very angry, pacing back and forth in the corridor.

"What I do is none of your business, you servant. Do you really think you're something special just because you have an official title?"

"Don't even mention you, even the highest-ranking officials of the court have to bow respectfully before me! Who do you think you are, daring to disobey my orders!"

The female official knelt in the courtyard, pursing her lips and remaining silent.

Upon seeing Wen Yuanshu approach, Princess Anping said, "Wen Yuanshu, you've come at the right time. Tell me, as the Princess, am I not allowed to do whatever I want in this girls' school? Do I need the permission of a mere servant?!"

"So, Your Highness came to the girls' school just to show off?"

As soon as Wen Yuanshu finished speaking, Princess Anping frowned immediately: "Wen Yuanshu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to stand by that lowly servant's side and oppose me?!"

“This humble woman has no intention of opposing Your Highness,” Wen Yuanshu curtsied, “but everything about the girls’ school has been arranged long ago. If Your Highness is doing this for the good of the girls’ school, it would be best not to interfere.”

"What a joke!" Princess Anping sneered. "I am a princess, and it is a blessing you have accumulated over several lifetimes to be here at the girls' school to support you! And now you dare not even let me intervene? This is outrageous!"

She really takes herself seriously.

Wen Yuanshu curtsied again: "Your Highness, all the arrangements for the girls' school have been personally reviewed by the Empress Dowager. If Your Highness has delayed the original schedule, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will punish Your Highness."

She brought up the Empress Dowager, and Princess Anping indeed fell silent for a moment.

Wen Yuanshu continued, "Of course, if Your Highness does not believe me, you are welcome to try. However, it will be difficult for me and this official to speak up for Your Highness at that time."

Her words carried a somewhat forceful tone.

With the Empress Dowager holding her back, Princess Anping had no choice.

Despite her domineering nature, she ultimately dared not truly anger the Empress Dowager.

She knew that the Empress Dowager was very unhappy with her interference in the girls' school, and that the Empress Dowager had not given her a kind look when she went to the palace today.

But there was nothing she could do.

She was determined to make the members of the imperial family look at her with new respect, so even though she knew the Empress Dowager was displeased, she could only pretend to be ignorant.

Although the Empress Dowager is currently dissatisfied with her, she is only in a nominal position and has not actually done anything, so the Empress Dowager cannot really do anything to her, much less expel her from the girls' school.

But if she insists on doing so now, it would be tantamount to handing over her weaknesses, and the outcome would be uncertain.

At that point, even if she begs the Empress, it will be of no use.

“Wen Yuanshu, you are indeed sharp-tongued,” Princess Anping’s words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, “I will remember you.”

"It is my honor that Your Highness has taken the time to remember this."

Wen Yuanshu curtsied slightly: "Your Highness, please take care."

This was essentially kicking her out.

Although Princess Anping was furious, she didn't want to lose face, so she simply flicked her sleeve and left.

Just because she can't do anything to Wen Yuanshu now doesn't mean she won't be able to in the future!

The Empress's decree clearly stated that if anything happens at the girls' school in the future, she should discuss it with Wen Yuanshu. She didn't believe that Wen Yuanshu would have anything to say then!

Wen Yuanshu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to help the female official who had been kneeling for a long time and was too weak to exert any strength.
