Chapter 200: The Imperial Academy
Concubine De said with a smile: "It's rare to see the emperor have such a naΓ―ve side. Yue'er said with a smile: "If the emperor plays tricks, the slaves and maids estimate that those eunuchs and palace maids will not be able to stand it." Concubine De nodded seriously: "Well, you reminded me that in this harem, except for the little master of your family, the rest of the people want to see the ancient books, and they will have to spend silver, and if they don't return it on time, the interest can be calculated heavily." Yue'er was a little surprised: "Including the emperor?" Concubine De nodded: "Especially the emperor." Yue'er smiled and said, "Niangniang, the slave thinks it's a bit difficult." Concubine De pulled the corners of her mouth: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." "You take good care of your little master, and the palace will go to arrange the affairs of the academy." Concubine De glanced at Ouyang Tong, who was still asleep, and whispered. "Yes." Yue'er replied respectfully.
Granny Yunhai and Xiao Xiao discussed quietly in the corner of the kitchen. "What did you see, Granny Yunhai?" Xiao Xiao asked in a low voice. Yunhai's mother-in-law replied in a low voice: "Feng Yu's plan is to let Ouyang Tong get all the good things in this world first, family, love, friendship, and destroy them one by one, so that Yan Tong can experience the despair of being betrayed and trampled by the world." Xiao Xiao frowned: "Why is Feng Yu doing this?" Yunhai's mother-in-law frowned: "Feng Yu wants to psychologically assimilate Yan Tong. Xiao Xiao was a little worried: "This can't work, Yan Tong's strength, you know." Feng Yu must not be allowed to succeed. Granny Yunhai nodded: "Since we are here, Feng Yu's plan will not succeed." Xiao Xiao asked seriously, "What should we do?" Yunhai's mother-in-law looked around: "Wait and see." Xiao Xiao nodded: "Okay, I understand." β
Ouyang Tong was drinking the porridge boiled by Aunt Yunhai. "Yue'er, where is Concubine De?" Ouyang Tong asked curiously. Yue'er said with a smile: "Concubine De Niangniang has gone to handle the affairs of the academy, and the emperor has already allowed it." Ouyang Tong was a little surprised: "The emperor agreed?" Yue'er nodded: "The little master was overworked, injured the fetus, and fell into a coma, the emperor was in a hurry, so he came to see the little master, and Concubine De said about the academy, and the emperor was very happy and immediately agreed." Ouyang Tong nodded: "That's good, that's good." Yue'er looked serious: "Little master, the imperial doctor said that you should stay in bed to recuperate, and now don't worry about other things, don't worry about it, go lie down and rest after drinking porridge." Ouyang Tong nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, the matter of the academy has been decided, and I will be relieved, now I just wait for the good news from Concubine De." β
In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine De looked at the newly cleaned Chuxiu Palace and was a little happy. "Niangniang, it's not early, let's go back to the palace early." Fei'er is Concubine De's henchman. Concubine De looked at the palace and nodded: "You can arrange this place tomorrow." Fei'er said with a smile: "Niangniang has been in the palace for so many years, this is the first time that the slave maid is so happy to see Niangniang." Fei'er helped Concubine De to walk out, and Concubine De looked at the Chuxiu Palace behind her: "Yes, since entering the palace, this is the first time that this palace feels that the days of the harem will finally not be boring." Fei'er nodded: "Then the little lord Ouyang is really a smart lord." Concubine De smiled: "Yes, she knew that I liked ancient books, so she approached me with this and proposed to establish this academy, just to improve the relationship between me and her. Fei'er carried the lantern all the way and asked in a low voice, "Since Niangniang knows everything, why do you still have to prepare for this academy?" Concubine De asked seriously: "She did these things, did she want to harm me in the slightest?" β
Fei'er shook her head: "No, on the contrary, it made Niangniang praised by the emperor and rewarded a lot." Concubine De nodded seriously: "That Ouyang nobleman, who has read poetry and books since she was a child, and the only ancient books are at your fingertips, saying that I don't like her in my heart, it's fake." I know that everything she does is to get closer to me, but I am willing to do this for her, and I am willing to get closer to her. Fei'er was puzzled: "Niangniang has been in the harem for many years, and she has never been close to anyone. Concubine De nodded: "Now, Concubine Xian is in full swing, and for so many years, she has been trying to pull me into her camp. However, I know best what Concubine Xian wants, what she wants is too much, and I don't want to be with her. Fei'er said with a smile: "Niangniang still regards Ouyang Xiaozhu as a confidant." Concubine De nodded: "In this harem, it is really not easy to meet someone who loves to read as much as I do." β
The next day, Concubine De came to Ouyang Tong's palace early in the morning. "Concubine De." When Ouyang Tong woke up, she saw Concubine De sitting at the head of her bed, and hurriedly wanted to get up and salute. Concubine De pressed Ouyang Tong: "Sister, don't get up, come today, I'm here to tell you that I have cleaned up the palace, and today I'm here to move away your ancient books." Have you thought about it, can you give it up? Ouyang Tong nodded: "Sister, don't worry, it's a pity that I can't help much." Concubine De smiled: "If you take care of your body, you will be the greatest help." Ouyang Tong nodded: "I will definitely take good care of myself, and when I get better, I will go to help." Concubine De nodded: "Sister, rest assured, the coming day is long, and there are many things to keep you busy." Ouyang Tong nodded reassuringly.
In front of the study door of Tianyun Pavilion, tables, chairs and boxes have been prepared. Concubine De said solemnly: "The only ancient books in this study, each of them is priceless, and if it is slightly damaged, you can't afford to lose your life. "Yes." The palace people replied respectfully. So, Concubine De sat at the table, picked up the brush and waited seriously. A eunuch took out an ancient book from the study, Fei'er took it and registered it for Concubine De, and then handed it to another eunuch and carefully packed it into a box. Just registered one by one, there were more than a dozen boxes of books, and Concubine De wrote them from morning to evening. "Mother, I've moved it all." Fei'er whispered. Concubine De stood up and squeezed her hand: "These books are really amazing." Fei'er squeezed her hand for Concubine De: "Niangniang hasn't eaten well for a day, dinner has been prepared, Niangniang go and eat." β
Concubine De looked at the palace people around her: "These eunuchs and palace maids have also been busy for a day and haven't eaten properly, so they will be rewarded with first-class delicacies on the table, so that they can eat and drink enough before going back." When the surrounding palace people heard this, they all kowtowed and thanked them. The slave knocked on Concubine Xie De's mother. Concubine De smiled: "Get up, the work of this academy is already extremely hard, wait until you remember it, in the future, the academy will recruit people, all of them will be paid, but the remuneration is meager, and those who need it can come to the academy to find the palace for the exam." Then Fei'er helped Concubine De to Ouyang Tong's house. Niangniang, why did you say it today about the academy's recruitment? Fei'er was a little puzzled. Concubine De said with a smile: "The palace people spread the word of mouth, which is the best way. Ouyang Tong stood at the door of the house, saw Concubine De from a distance, and walked out to greet him. Concubine De saw Ouyang Tong and was a little worried: "My sister is weak, why did she get up." Ouyang Tong said with a smile: "After sleeping for a day, my body is tired, so I got up to eat with my sister." β
At the dinner table, Ouyang Tong and Concubine De were eating quietly. "Sister, this day, I have worked hard for you." Ouyang Tong had almost eaten and said slightly apologetically. Concubine De also ate almost enough, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth: "Sister, don't say anything extraordinary." Ouyang Tong touched his lower abdomen, a little sad: "It's all my fault, I didn't pay attention to rest, only at this critical time, I can only be an idler, and everything has to work hard." Concubine De also touched Ouyang Tong's lower abdomen: "Now, the child in your belly is the first priority, and the rest, my sister can do it for her, and she doesn't feel hard." Ouyang Tong nodded: "I am looking forward to the day when the academy opens every day, and I am very happy in my heart." Concubine De said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my sister, my sister has been busy with things in the academy even in her dreams these days, and when she woke up, she found that she hadn't done anything, and I was anxious." β
