Phi-Fic Chapter 481 Luring Dongfang Jin into the "Trap" 2
Chapter 481 Luring Dongfang Jin into the "Trap" 2
Helian Shuo glanced at Dongfang Jin discreetly, picked up the wine glass beside him, and took a sip.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "The scout said they just changed the regulations yesterday."
It was that traitor Lin Haifeng who first informed Mo Rui, the ninth prince of Cangmo Kingdom, when they met.
It was discovered by Qi Heng, the heir apparent of the Prince of Chun in the Western Liang Kingdom...
As you all know, the delegation from Cangmo Kingdom this time was led by Regent Mo Zhentian.
Also present from Cangmo Kingdom this time was Prime Minister Wei, who was the father of Consort De of the Mo Emperor.
Furthermore, this Chancellor Wei and the Regent are sworn enemies.
After speaking, he paused for a while, looked around, and then said, "I always feel that Lin Haifeng deliberately stirred up trouble."
However, what he didn't expect was that his action would temporarily unite the envoys from several countries.
Because the Empress of the Mo Emperor and the Princess Consort of the Regent are sisters.
The Empress had two princes and one princess.
Empress Mo's palace not only had one empress and four concubines, but also many women of other ranks.
He had a total of fifteen sons and six princesses, three of whom became empresses.
Prime Minister Wei's daughter also has a son and a daughter. How could she not compete for that position?
Emperor Mo was only three years older than his uncle, the Emperor, and Emperor Mo had already had a grandson two years ago.
The emperor's uncle's eldest child is only five years old; the difference is astounding...
Cang Lingchen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "What you said makes sense. It can be considered that Lin Haifeng's accidental success was a lucky break."
They were willing to bear the title of hostage just to allow the children of princes and ministers to attend school.
They probably want to steal our knowledge and some of our creation techniques. We can't agree to that easily; we need to think of a way to deal with it.
Lu Yunqing nodded in agreement: "What Prince Chen said is absolutely right. The curriculum in the Royal Elementary School is the essence of our Eastern Lin Kingdom. We must not allow foreign countries to learn it so easily."
After speaking, she looked at Dongfang Jin, who was indifferent to the matter and still eating crayfish with her head down: "Princess Anqing, what do you think?"
Gu Chenglin: "..."
Why is this guy so fixated on his wife?
Can't you just let his wife eat something properly?
Princess Anqing?
Didn't they know that a year ago, their imperial cousin had already bestowed upon his wife the title of "Princess Sheng'an"?
If it weren't for his wife's objections, Qizhou would have been his wife's fiefdom.
That annoying person is so irritating, they're annoying everywhere they go.
Dongfang Jin looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her. Without thinking, she said, "I don't really know about this. You guys talk about it."
After saying that, he and several children started scrambling to eat the crayfish.
Ruyi burst into laughter upon hearing her blatant lies.
Hearing Ruyi's laughter, Dongfang Jin, holding a crayfish, froze. "What are you laughing at? Is it really that big of a deal?"
[Haha...uh...oh...no...it's okay, keep eating, keep eating, haha...]
"Nonsense!" After saying that, Dongfang Jin lowered his head and continued eating.
I must say, the shrimp raised in this space are not only large, but they also taste amazing.
Don't be angry, it's like this...
The children looked at this and then at that, and finally joined in the scrambling to eat.
This crayfish is so delicious; it's the best they've ever had.
After hearing Ruyi's words, Dongfang Jin glanced at the children, none of whom spoke, and nodded in satisfaction.
She glanced at Lu Yunqing; even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
These are matters for their ministers; why should she always be involved?
Does the planet stop spinning without her?
Let's continue the discussion. Since those people have already come up with a plan and have fallen right into Ruyi's trap, she won't suffer any more.
Helian Shuo touched his nose, looked at Dongfang Jin, and seemed a little nervous: "Aren't you going to say anything?"
Dongfang Jin tilted her head and glanced at him: "Nothing to say!"
What's there to say?
With the restrictions on the Linglong Tower lifted, and a vow made when signing the contract, what will we have to fear from them?
Go to Royal Primary School, go, go, all of you go!
She was just unsure how to promote culture, and the publicity from the "Donglin Daily" wasn't enough.
These ancient people still adhere to the old adage of "being stuck in the past and refusing to change," how can that be beneficial to the development of the country?
Not only is it too slow, but how can we conduct trade and sell goods from neighboring countries to other countries?
Earning money from your own country is never as satisfying as earning money from other countries.
In ancient times, currency could only circulate when there was trade between countries.
Throughout history, tea, silk, and porcelain have been the best things to open up trade.
Wouldn't it be better to exchange the most common things in the neighboring country for more real gold and silver?
Gu Chenglin watched them guide his wife into the trap, lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, his fingertips stroking the rim of the wine cup.
Silly wife, from the selection of the site to the curriculum of the Royal Elementary School, which one wasn't your doing?
Everyone present knew that your excuse was too absurd.
However, her little expression of rebuttal is so charming, I really want to hug her.
He reached for the wine pot and filled his father-in-law's cup: "Father, I'm afraid this Xiao Jin really doesn't understand."
These words startled Cang Nanxi, who turned around and stared at him in disbelief.
She was so angry she wanted to grab her wine glass and smash it at this son-in-law who was lying through his teeth. How could this guy spoil his wife like that?!
He's so angry! He's infuriating!
Lu Yunqing: "..." Trying to escape?
If I remember correctly, you were the one who wrote the curriculum and textbooks for the Royal Primary School.
You're saying you don't understand now?
They're blatantly lying! And there are even people echoing their lies!
Have you forgotten who the principal of Royal Primary School is?
Changsun Lan: "..." She really dares to say that!
You don't quite understand? If you don't understand, then what are they?
This girl really dares to say that.
Gu Chenglin really dared to lie for her, truly experiencing the "husband follows the wife's lead" dynamic to the fullest.
But seeing them scrambling to eat crayfish, he really wanted to join in.
And the girl's little mouth, red from eating, looked like a little squirrel, making his heart itch with desire.
Adam's apple bobbed, damn it!
Cang Lingchen...
Sister, brother-in-law! How can you two lie to others like this?
Who are all here? Your suggestions won't be accepted.
The Imperial Tutor was the principal of the Royal Elementary School, and all the teachers there were his students.
And everyone present was a disciple of the Imperial Tutor.
Cang Nanxi glanced at the group and saw that they were all looking at his daughter with different expressions.
Meanwhile, his daughter acted as if nothing had happened, fighting with those kids over crayfish.
Frowning, I asked, "Is it really that delicious?"
He tapped the table: "Then we need to come up with a plan that neither lets them succeed nor makes the relationship worse."
They want to get into the Royal Primary School, right? You guys come up with a favorable plan.
Since everyone's here, let's all share our thoughts, and then discuss this matter further with Master Jingkong and the Imperial Preceptor later.
Cang Lingchen put down his chopsticks and glanced at the aggrieved Gu Chenglin and the gentle, spring-like Lu Yunqing.
He shook his head helplessly and analyzed, "Let me first share my thoughts: why not set some thresholds, such as an entrance exam?"
Only those who pass the exam are eligible for admission; this filters out some people with ulterior motives.
The others nodded in agreement with his words, finding the plan feasible.
Seeing that Dongfang Jin was not cooperating, Changsun Lan knew she couldn't press him for answers, so she took a sip of wine.
He put down his glass and added, "We can also implement special management for those students from other states."
For example, limiting the range of courses they can take to ensure that important knowledge is not leaked.
He glanced at Lu Yunqing and realized that he could only say the second plan, which was the one that they had discussed with His Majesty.
The main reason they all gathered here was to get Dongfang Jin's opinion.
This is also the intention of His Majesty, the Imperial Tutor, and Master Jingkong.
However, none of them expected that Prince Dun would appear here with several children.
