Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

After some time, Xiao Lizi came in and reported, "Your Highness, the officials from the Hanlin Academy have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Su Qianrou stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"No need, just sit down."

"This isn't right," Su Qianrou thought to herself. You're all talking about politics, what am I supposed to do here?

“It’s alright,” she said, then added, “Let them in.”

"Yes".

Su Qianrou stood there, unsure whether she should sit down or not.

Mu Zexuan pulled her down to sit, saying, "Sister Su, don't worry. Since the Imperial Uncle said it's alright, then it's alright. Just sit here and relax."

At this moment, the adults walked in, and Su Qianrou subconsciously stood up.

The officials were quite surprised to see her there, and even more shocked to see her sitting next to Mu Zexuan. They were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Marquis Anping, in particular, never expected to see her here.

"What are you gentlemen doing standing at the door?" Mu Jinchen asked.

Everyone then came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, we greet you, Your Majesty, and the Regent."

No need for formalities.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

While they were bowing, Su Qianrou quietly moved two steps to the side; otherwise, she dared to say that the memorials submitted against her tomorrow would definitely appear here.

"My lords, do you know why I have summoned you here?"

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Mu Jinchen didn't mince words and said directly, "I intend to compile the textbook written by Princess Ping Le into a book and promote it throughout the country. Therefore, I have invited you all here today to ask who among you is willing to take charge of this matter."

The officials remained silent, and none of them spoke.

"What, are you gentlemen unwilling?"

"Your Highness, it's not that we're unwilling, but rather that we don't understand this matter and are afraid we won't be able to repair the book."

"What Lord Liu said is absolutely right. We know nothing about this, and even if we wanted to, we would be powerless to do anything about it."

“Lord Anping, you are the grandfather of Princess Pingle and a Grand Scholar. If you were to revise this book, what would you say?”

"Your Highness, this old minister believes that the textbook compiled by Princess Ping Le is putting the cart before the horse and should not be revised into a book, much less promoted throughout the country. Moreover, Princess Ping Le should be ordered to stop teaching immediately and severely punished as a warning to others."

Mu Zexuan whispered, "Sister Su, is he really your grandfather?"

Su Qianrou looked at the old Marquis and said calmly, "Perhaps not."

Mu Jinchen looked at him, remaining silent for a long time.

The old marquis couldn't help but panic. He looked up at him furtively, and seeing him staring at him, he lowered his head again.

Then, Mu Jinchen shifted his gaze to the others and asked, "Do you all share the same idea as Marquis Anping?"

“I have no such intention. I believe this book should be revised, but I know very little about it and I am afraid that I will not be able to revise it well. Therefore, I dare not agree.”

"I am the same."

Su Mingxuan remained silent throughout the entire process.

"In that case, let Princess Ping Le revise this book, and you all cooperate fully."

Su Qianrou looked at him in disbelief, thinking, "Didn't you ask me to come here to explain math to Xiaoxuan? Why do I have to repair books?"

“No, Your Highness, Princess Ping Le is a woman. How can she participate in compiling books, let alone be the main compiler? This is absolutely unacceptable.”

“Your Highness, since ancient times, no woman has ever participated in compiling books; this is truly against etiquette.”

"Yes, if word gets out, people will think that Yunyue has no one left."

"Please reconsider, Your Highness."

"Please reconsider, Your Highness."

Su Qianrou went down and said, "Your Highness, I also feel that this is inappropriate. I do not know much about writing books, and besides, I have to teach on weekdays, so I am afraid I will not have the time. Therefore, I ask Your Highness to choose someone else."

"There is probably no one more suitable than Princess Ping Le."

"I can recommend someone."

"Who is it?"

“My elder brother, my elder brother has discussed this with me. He is very knowledgeable about this and should be able to take on this important task.”

"Lord Su".

"Your subject is here."

What do you think?

"Your subject will do his utmost to live up to your trust."

"Very well, then you shall revise this book. Furthermore, I hereby appoint you as a fifth-rank lecturer."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, this Lord Su has only been a compiler for a short time, yet he has already been promoted again. Is this inappropriate?"

"If Lord Wang thinks this is inappropriate, then how about you revise this book?"

Lord Wang immediately shut his mouth and remained silent.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Xiao, you two will assist Lord Su."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Alright, you can go out now."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we take our leave."

"This humble woman takes her leave."

“Princess Ping Le, please stay.”

Su Qianrou looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Su Mingxuan glanced at her, a hint of worry in his eyes, and then walked out.

After the others left, Su Qianrou asked, "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"

“You should know that no one is more suitable to edit this book than you, so why are you unwilling?”

"Not only am I not a high-ranking official, but I am also a woman. If I were to revise this book, it would be improper and not in accordance with the proper order. Your Highness is not afraid that the ministers' memorials will overwhelm you, but I am afraid that they will come to our mansion to make trouble. Besides, Your Highness, do I look like a sucker? I haven't even started writing your construction plan for the Agricultural Academy yet, and now you want me to revise this book. Do you think I am too idle, or do you think I am easy to bully? You always want me to do hard labor for you."

No one had ever dared to speak to their royal uncle like that before, so Mu Zexuan looked at her nervously, then at Mu Jinchen, afraid that he would get angry and have Su Qianrou dragged out and beheaded. So he said, "Royal Uncle, Sister Su didn't mean that, please don't..."

"That's not what I meant. I just think you're a good fit."

"I know, but as I said, I'm a lazy person. If there were other people available, I wouldn't be teaching myself. So, I'm telling you in advance, if you really do set up an agricultural research institute in the future, please don't make me take charge. Shengming Academy is already enough to keep me busy. I don't want to be busy with anything else."

"it is good".

Mu Zexuan was dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on, feeling as if he had missed something.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave."

"I will see you off," Mu Jinchen said, standing up.

Su Qianrou quickly said, "No need."

Mu Jinchen didn't understand why she was reacting so strongly, and then he heard her ask, "Your Highness, others know that we went to the manor together that day, and now it's all over the city. Are you aware of that?"

Mu Jinchen naturally knew that he had indeed forgotten to have Yingfeng hide at the beginning of that day, but he quickly remembered and didn't take it seriously. Therefore, he had already anticipated this, and as it turned out, it was indeed the case.

Su Qianrou could tell at a glance that he knew, so she said, "So, it's better if we keep our distance in the future to avoid misunderstandings. Besides, my elder brother is waiting for me outside, so I won't trouble you, Your Highness. If Your Highness has nothing else, I'll take my leave now... Xiao Xuan, I'm leaving. See you next time."

"Okay, take care, Sister Su."

Then, Su Qianrou went out.

Mu Zexuan looked at Mu Jinchen and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, you and Sister Su..."

Mu Jinchen ignored him, sat down, and continued reviewing the memorials.

Seeing this, Mu Zexuan knew he wouldn't say, so he didn't ask any further.
