Concubine De nodded: "Here are two people from the academy, two people from the ancient books, and ten people from the academy." Is that enough? Ouyang Tong nodded: "Do you still want to hire someone to take care of the accounts?" Concubine De shook her head: "No, let those two people who read ancient books take care of the accounts, and we can check them once a month." Ouyang Tong thought about it seriously: "It's better for me to let Xiaoxiao manage the academy, she is meticulous and careful, and I can rest assured that she will manage the academy." Concubine De nodded: "That's very good." "By the way, Granny Yunhai will make some novel snacks, why don't we set up some food in our academy, but we have to spend money to buy it, what do you think?" Ouyang Tong thought of another way to earn money. Concubine De smiled: "Now, you are thinking about the way to earn silver." Ouyang Tong smiled embarrassedly: "The more money you earn, the longer the academy will last." ”

Concubine De and Ouyang Tongzai discussed carefully for an afternoon, wrote a book full of details, and after dinner, Concubine De reluctantly left. Ouyang Tong let out a long sigh of relief and smiled happily: "Little master, you are pregnant now, you shouldn't be so tired." Ouyang Tong shook his head: "The affairs of the academy still have to be handled quickly." Yue'er was puzzled: "What is the little master doing in such a hurry?" Ouyang Tong sighed: "Now, the situation in the palace is becoming more and more severe, and before that person recovers, he must do this." Yue'er nodded: "What the little master wants to do, the slave will definitely help the little master achieve it." Ouyang Tong smiled: "Next, I really have to work hard for you." Yue'er shook her head: "Yue'er is not afraid of hardship. ”

The next day, Concubine De and Ouyang Tong came to the queen's Chengqian Palace and told the queen in detail what they thought. The queen listened carefully, and the full details and drawings were also carefully read. "It's not easy for the two of you to think of such a thing." The queen nodded in approval. Although the queen doesn't like Ouyang Tong, Concubine De is an old man in the palace after all, and the power behind her cannot be underestimated, and the queen has to take care of Concubine De's face. "It's just that at this time, the palace still needs to make a case to the emperor, and the emperor will decide." The queen said with some prevarication. Concubine De frowned, and then said with a smile: "All the affairs of the harem are decided by the queen's mother, and this matter is a matter of harmony with the palace, and the concubine thinks that the emperor will not refuse to allow it." The queen nodded: "What Concubine De said is, it's just that all the palaces of the harem have arrangements, and it is up to the emperor to decide which palace to arrange for you." ”

Concubine De was a little unhappy in her heart, the emperor was busy with the previous court, and she hadn't even stepped into the harem recently, if this matter had to wait until the queen reported to the emperor, I don't know how long it would be delayed. "The concubine understands, if the concubine sees the emperor, she will definitely report this matter to the emperor in person." Concubine De was unwilling, so she had no choice but to give up. "This is very good, if the emperor agrees, this palace will definitely help." The queen said with a smile. Subsequently, the details and drawings were returned to Concubine De. On the way back to Tianyun Pavilion, Concubine De didn't say a word and was sullen. "Sister, this is not easy to do, you don't have to be angry." Ouyang Tong whispered comfortingly. Concubine De shook her head and sighed softly: "Xiucai met a soldier, and it is unreasonable. "Ouyang Tong knows that Concubine De more or less looks down on the queen's background." Sister, let's think of another way when we go back. Ouyang Tong whispered comforting.

As soon as he returned to Tianyun Pavilion, Ouyang Tong had just sat down and felt a faint pain in his lower abdomen. "Sister, are you feeling unwell?" Concubine De saw that Ouyang Tong's face was pale and a little worried. Ouyang Tong frowned: "I don't know why, I suddenly felt some pain in my lower abdomen." Concubine De was shocked that something was wrong: "Quick, go and pass the imperial doctor!" Concubine De ordered anxiously. Yue'er, come here, help me help your little master to lie down on the bed. Concubine De carefully helped Ouyang Tong to lie down. Ouyang Tong's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. After a while, the imperial doctor came, Yue'er put down the curtain, and Concubine De also put on the veil. Imperial Physician Fu carefully checked the pulse and let out a long sigh of relief. "Back to Niangniang, the noble person is just too tired recently, and some of them have fetal gas, so it doesn't hurt to recuperate for a few days." Imperial Doctor Fu said seriously. "Weichen is going to prescribe a prescription for the fetus to help the nobleman have a good baby." "Go ahead." Concubine De said lightly.

After Imperial Physician Fu left, Yue'er lifted the curtain, and Ouyang Tong was already asleep. Concubine De took off her veil and looked at Ouyang Tong seriously for a while: "Your little master, haven't you always slept well these days?" Yue'er nodded: "Yes, the little master often wakes up in the middle of the night for the affairs of the academy, sighing." Concubine De nodded: "She really cherishes those ancient books, so she bothered so much." Concubine De had a flash of inspiration and whispered to Yue'er: "Yue'er, you go to the imperial study to find that Huang Gonggong, and tell Huang Gonggong the truth about your little master's recent situation, and you must tell you in detail." Yue'er nodded: "Okay, the slave will go." After speaking, Yue'er hurried to the imperial study. After a while, the emperor hurried over, and looked at Ouyang Tong who was still asleep with some anxiety. "Your Majesty." Concubine De whispered hello to the emperor. The emperor raised his hand to stop Concubine De from speaking, and then waved his hand, and everyone retreated outside, leaving Yue'er alone to take care of it.

"What is it that makes her like this?" The emperor asked with a frown. Concubine De knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Back to the emperor, the concubine and Ouyang nobles recently planned a major event, which made my sister unable to sleep at night and restless. The emperor was a little curious: "What's the big deal?" Concubine De took out the details and drawings, and told the emperor the cause and effect of the incident one by one. The emperor looked at the drawings and details, looked at them for a long time, and read them carefully, especially the drawings, and studied them back and forth many times. Concubine De was a little uneasy, and she didn't know how the emperor would decide. The emperor asked Concubine De seriously: "What did you two think about about this matter?" Concubine De didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to blame, blame me for being a sister, Sister Ouyang is still young and pregnant, and I am willing to bear all the blame." ”

The emperor laughed: "Hahaha, why do I blame you two? Concubine De was a little surprised: "This matter is a bit deviant, and the concubine thinks that the emperor will not allow it." The emperor nodded: "This matter is indeed deviant and a little unruly, but I am also a person who loves to read, and I also believe that in my harem, there are also many concubines who love to read. Concubine De was a little overjoyed: "The emperor is sage." The emperor asked seriously, "At this time, can you tell me who came up with this idea?" Concubine De replied respectfully: "These things are all thought about by Ouyang nobles, and the concubine just added some of them." The emperor nodded: "You two have a heart." ”

"Now that Ouyang Guiren is pregnant, the affairs of the academy will be handed over to you to take care of, and I will give you Chuxiu Palace. The name was changed to the Imperial Academy, and I personally inscribed it for you. The emperor said seriously. Concubine De kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." The emperor picked up Concubine De and asked in a low voice: "I don't know, can I borrow some ancient books and take a look at them first?" Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled: "Is the emperor trying to fake the public and private interests?" The emperor looked serious: "Nonsense, I am not that kind of person, when the time comes, I will also take the entrance examination, I don't believe it, I can't see the only ancient book." ”

Concubine De saluted: "Then it depends on the emperor's ability." The emperor was a little uneasy: "Isn't that the test question more difficult than the scientific examination?" Concubine De smiled: "Is the emperor asking his concubines to leak the exam questions?" The emperor was serious: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I just asked casually, you still have to do the affairs of the academy quickly, I am waiting to see those ancient books." "You can accompany Ouyang Guiren here, I will go to the review first." The emperor left seriously, and Concubine De couldn't help laughing. Yue'er rarely saw Concubine De laughing, and said in a low voice: "Concubine De Niangniang looks so good when she laughs." ”
