long live the queen

Chapter 102

After the discussion was over, Wei Yunqing went back to Yanxi Palace.She didn't care what Yang Yi was doing later, but Cao Jun was well-informed and felt that this matter was strange, so he came to tell her that Yang Yi stayed in the meeting room later, found Mao Yirong, and dragged him to explain the memorials. What is the reply of the approval, and why is it so.

Cao Jun said with a smile: "Look, servant girl, Lord Mao is not willing to explain those things to the emperor, but the emperor is the emperor after all, he can't do without explaining." He sighed again, "The emperor seems to be here this time. Really."

"It's true, it will take some time to find out. Today is only the first day." Wei Yunqing said.

Cao Jun smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right!"

He was naturally present when discussing matters in the cabinet today. At that time, Wei Yunqing tricked the cabinet ministers into agreeing to give Liu Huiniang a title, which made him very addicted. At the same time, he did not forget to observe Yang Yi. Quietly, he didn't intend to interfere, so he was relieved.If the emperor continues to be like today in the future, he doesn't have to worry.

After Yang Yi went to court for four consecutive days, Wei Yunqing recruited Lu Cui and gave her five taels of silver: "This time I was wrong."

Lu Cui accepted the silver with a smile.There were a dozen or so people participating in this gamble, the least bet was one tael, and the most bet was five taels. Everyone just joined in to have fun, and in terms of the gambling time, Wei Yunqing and Cao Jun gambled for the shortest time , three days, followed by five, seven or nine days, and the longest one lasted for one month.Therefore, as long as Yang Yi has been in court for more than a month, that is to say, the longest one wins and will get all the bets.The amount of money each person bet is not much, but the total amount is 30 taels, which is not a small sum of money.If Yang Yi's court time is within one month, the closest one with less time than his real court time wins. If there are the same bets, the bonus will be distributed proportionally according to the bet amount.

"Eunuch Cao, where's your money?" Cao Jun happened to be accompanying him, and Wei Yunqing looked at him and asked.

Cao Jun chuckled and took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to Lucui: "Madam, you heard what the servant girl said at that time."

"Even if you didn't hear it, Lucui will remember it here, don't try to play tricks." Wei Yunqing smiled, and suddenly looked at Huang Bajin who was standing beside him, "Bajin, it's a good thing you didn't place a bet, otherwise it would be a waste of money. "

Huang Bajin laughed dryly: "This..."

"You bet too?" Wei Yunqing was surprised.

Lu Cui interjected: "Madam, Eunuch Huang has also placed a bet, two or three, bet for ten days!"

Huang Bajin chuckled.

Wei Yunqing said: "Ten Ri, you really have confidence in the Emperor. Maybe you can really win."

Huang Bajin laughed and said, "Ms. Cheng has said auspicious words."

Two days later, it was the opening day of the Girls' Academy. According to Concubine Zhuang, because it was confirmed that Wei Yunqing, the empress and head of the mountain, taught in person, the number of students in the Girls' Academy increased a lot, and now there are 28 students. .

Early in the morning, Wei Yunqing purposely wore a plain suit, looking dignified and solemn, her makeup was elegant and refined, coupled with her unsmiling expression in front of the mirror, she was really a famous teacher.

Because of Yang Yi's imperial order, Wei Yunqing took Concubine Zhuang to the brand-new girls' academy together when he saw that it was the queen's carriage, and the guards did not stop him.

The Women's Academy was not far from the Imperial Palace, and it was located less than one street away from the Imperial College. The door was guarded by the seconded Jin Yiwei, and the carriage with the academy's special name card could directly drive in.The inner courtyard is guarded by an old lady, and the ladies who come to school get off the carriage here, and they can enter with the company of the maids, while the servants must stay in the outer courtyard and are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard without permission.

Wei Yunqing and Concubine Zhuang came neither early nor late, they were often in the deep palace, and the ladies also did not leave the door, they might know each other, but no one recognized them, they just thought they were elegant and aloof , a flamboyant and flamboyant, secretly guessing which family the two are from.

There are currently 28 students in this women's academy, and not all of them are here for Wei Yunqing. After all, the daughters of officials who come here are all daughters of officials. It is right to get to know more people. All are beneficial.

Seeing that it was still early, Wei Yunqing and Concubine Zhuang visited various facilities under the guidance of Nanny Li who was usually in charge of the academy.When it was almost time to finish watching, Wei Yunqing and Concubine Zhuang returned to the main courtyard, and after asking, they knew that everyone had arrived.

Wei Yunqing swept his eyes and found two acquaintances inside.One is Sun Chengji's granddaughter, Sun Sisi, because Wei Yunqing would take care of the Sun family, but she dared not go to see her in person because she felt guilty about the Sun family, while the other was from the palace——Yang Yi's half-sister, the eldest princess Yang Xin , Wei Yunqing has only met Yang Xin two or three times, but he has not forgotten the appearance of this 12-year-old girl. She couldn't help being a little surprised to see her here at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down first. The Shanzhang of the Women's College, our empress of Daliang, has something to say." Madam Li raised her voice. Following her voice, the scene fell silent, and everyone moved out on purpose. Put it on a chair in the yard and sit.

Wei Yunqing stood at the front, and greeted the curious, surprised, or scrutinizing eyes from below.Judging from their hairstyles, not all of the people sitting below were unmarried ladies, there were also a very small number of married young women. The eyes of everyone were either secretive or generous, and in the end they all fell on Wei Yunqing alone.

"Good day, everyone. I am the head of the mountain and the queen of Daliang, but in the academy, I am just the head of the mountain. Please forget my status as a queen." Wei Yunqing spoke with a clear voice. She paused and looked around After a circle, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "No matter what the purpose of everyone coming to this women's academy, I am very happy. It has received so much support from the beginning of its establishment. At first I planned to open this women's academy all over Daliang, but unfortunately I was strongly opposed by the cabinet ministers, so I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. I only opened this one in Shangjing, and then spread it to the surrounding area after everything is on the right track in the future. I just hope that you can understand that opening This women's academy is not easy. Since you are here, no matter what purpose you had before, I hope you can learn something with your heart. Although the academy has just opened, there should be some rules. After studying for a period of time, you will learn something There is a test and those who fail are ineligible to stay."

Wei Yunqing paused for a few seconds, giving the female students present some time to react, and when the whispers gradually subsided under her sight, she continued: "As for what this girls' academy wants to teach, I'm afraid you have never heard of it before. We don't study classics and history, and we don't need to read Confucianism. As for the usefulness of what we teach, we will know after a long time. Those who come to this women's academy, please remember that women should be born equal to men, and men can do everything. Women can do things, never underestimate yourself."

The so-called "women should be born equal to men" has surpassed the general ethics of this era. Wei Yunqing's words undoubtedly caused an uproar.

Wei Yunqing smiled slightly: "Of course, we said the last words behind closed doors. Don't take my words and sue your father and brother."

Her words caused sporadic laughter, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled proudly: "Because it's useless for you to sue, it will only make your father and brother stop you from continuing to study in this girls' academy, but it doesn't matter to me." Any damage—if you don’t believe me, just ask the lords of the cabinet, I am afraid of the impeachment of the courtiers.”

Wei Yunqing's harem meddling in politics once caused an uproar in the court. These official ladies naturally knew, and they also knew that she was the ultimate winner.

Therefore, these women are not too surprised that she is slightly arrogant and arrogant, which is not at all different from the self-encouraging values ​​of the reserved and chaste mainstream women advertised today.

And the few people including Sun Sisi, Yang Xin and others, their eyes lit up because of Wei Yunqing's words.

"If you have heard my words and want to continue studying here, I welcome you and wish you success in your studies." Wei Yunqing finally said, "I will be your teacher at present, and the course will officially start tomorrow. Also, please don’t be late—those who are late must be fined to stand, and I won’t give anyone face.”

Next, Wei Yunqing asked Nanny Li to distribute a "schedule" to everyone, pointing to this piece of paper to explain what a "schedule" is, as well as the duration of each class, precautions, and so on.After finishing speaking, she announced that today's opening ceremony is over, and everyone can go back.

Everyone left with different thoughts, Sun Sisi and Yang Xin seemed to want to come up to talk to Wei Yunqing, but seeing that she was following Concubine Zhuang all the time, and thinking that the future would be long, they also left one after another in the end.

On the way back, Concubine Zhuang had a displeased look on her face: "I have worked so hard to find these students. Fortunately, you are not afraid to scare everyone away by saying those things today!"

"I'm putting my ugly words first. Anyway, even if I don't say it now, I will say it in the future." Wei Yunqing said casually, "We are short of teachers now, and I hope the people left behind are brave enough to teach some people as soon as possible. Come out, so that I can teach future female students for me. There will be so many academies in the future, and I will not be able to go by myself."

Concubine Zhuang sneered: "You are not afraid that the academy will not be able to continue, and you are not afraid that the pedantic old ministers in the cabinet are just talking empty words to perfunctory you."

"What's the use of being afraid?" Wei Yunqing shook his head and said, "Since we're going to do it, don't be timid. They can obstruct me, but I won't sit still, and they can always find loopholes for me. Since I can run the first Women's academy, you can run a second school, a third school... They want to stop me? In the next life!"

Faced with Wei Yunqing's self-confidence, Concubine Zhuang was speechless for a while, and didn't bother to talk to her anymore.

Back at Yanxi Palace, Yun Xin was waiting at the gate of the palace early, and when she saw Wei Yunqing, she said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for you inside..."

Concubine Zhuang was also by Wei Yunqing's side, and the two of them still had some things to discuss, upon hearing this, Concubine Zhuang snorted coldly and walked away with a displeased face.It was one thing for her to work with Wei Yunqing, but it was another thing to dislike Wei Yunqing for being favored by the emperor alone.

Wei Yunqing watched Concubine Zhuang's back getting farther and farther helplessly, and walked into the palace.

Yang Yi was standing there looking at something, he didn't even pay attention to her coming in.

Wei Yunqing walked over slowly, following his line of sight, what he saw was the painting "Green Pine into the Cloud" that she had hung up.She lowered her gaze and said, "What do you want to see me for?"

Yang Yi turned his head abruptly, with a look of depression that was too late to restrain himself. He was a little at a loss for a while, and then he calmed down and said: "Sister Yunqing, you...can you teach me what you taught in the Women's Academy?"

Wei Yunqing raised his eyebrows.

Yang Yi quickly explained: "I, I also want to learn something about the fairy world..."

Wei Yunqing said: "Do you have time to study now?"

Today, Wei Yunqing waited for Yang Yi and the others to go to court before discussing matters with the cabinet, and then left the palace to go to the women's academy. Yang Yi should have listened to Mao Yirong explain how to deal with each memorial as he did a few days ago, and after that, Cao Jun said he would Studying in the study, accompanied by Wen Huai, until the evening, not having fun, not looking for women in the harem, just like an ascetic monk.

"Yes!" Yang Yi nodded again and again, "I learned to deal with political affairs with Mao Yirong in the morning, and studied with Wenhuai in the afternoon. I have free time in the evening!"

It's rare for Yang Yi to be so motivated. Although he still has doubts about how long he can last, Wei Yunqing doesn't want to hit his ambition at this time.

"Okay, I will go to Qianqing Palace to teach you after dinner." Wei Yunqing nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Yi immediately laughed. The bright smile belonged to the youthful vigor that a boy of this age should have, making everyone who watched it feel as if he was several years younger.

He had already thought about it seriously, he was so shameless in the past, how could elder sister Yun Qing like him?So he wants to change, this time it is no longer just a temporary idea, and he will not give up halfway.He wants to become a knowledgeable and diligent emperor, so that under his rule, Daliang will live in peace and prosperity, and the people will praise him. In this way, he believes that sister Yunqing will change his mind.He is better than Yan Rusong, let her see him and like him!
