Chapter 596： Face is swollen

At night.

Before Lu Chaochao had finished his meal, someone from the palace was sent to pick him up.

“Oh, I have seen Princess Zhaoyang. Princess Zhaoyang, may you be blessed...”

"Princess, haven't you had your dinner yet? Your Majesty misses you so much that he sent your servant to take you into the palace..." The **** said with a smile on his face.

He has been with the emperor for many years, and even the courtiers have to be polite when they see him.

He only saw the Lu family, who were cautious and humble, deeply afraid of offending His Majesty.

“I’m too lazy to expose him, does he miss me??” The Lu family had just served dinner, Chao Chao broke off a pigeon leg from the table and went out with his father-in-law.

The father-in-law smiled and complimented: "You can't hide it from the princess."

After Lu Chaochao entered the palace, the emperor was pressing his eyebrows with a headache on his face.

"Can you place the saint well? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me at any time." The emperor knew that there was a saint in Beizhao, and he didn't know how many scholars could be attracted across the country.

“There are difficulties now.” Lu Chaochao raised his hand weakly.

The emperor was furious: "You little thing, you never suffer a loss."

“Wang Yuanlu opened the treasury and paid fifty thousand taels of silver to Zhaoyang. I will pay for their expenses.”

"You are crying in front of me, but you are not allowed to cry in front of a saint. This is about Beizhao's face, and I can't afford to lose this person." The emperor knew Lu Chaochao very well, and he was shameless. If a saint comes to teach, she might even blackmail him!

“Don’t slander the saints!”

Lu Chaochao grinned dryly: "Am I such a shameless person?"

"I don't know about you yet? The ministers in the court are all opposed to your establishment of a women's school. It would be better for you to infiltrate the enemy and coax all the wives to help you fund the women's school."

"You, you, the number of courtiers calling for imperial doctors has increased sharply in the past few days. It's because they were angry." They made a bet with Lu Chaochao in the court hall, and the fight was bloody.

When I got home, my dear fellow, my house was robbed.

Each household has contributed a lot.

In the middle of the night, servants from each family came out to ask for the imperial doctor, and even the emperor was alarmed.

After knowing the truth, I couldn’t laugh or cry.

"They are too small-minded, and such trivial matters will make them sick. Chaochao is generous, and Chaochao never takes it seriously, and never holds grudges." Lu Chaochao looked contemptuous.

“Emperor father, why did you ask Chaochao to enter the palace?”

The emperor put down his pen and sighed quietly.

"The emperor has something to ask for. It's really a headache for me to be tormented by those old people..."

“You also know the status of saints in the hearts of literati. Now that they saw a saint entering a women’s school, those old people became interested..."

"They thought...could they ask a saint to teach the Imperial Academy a lesson." The emperor's face turned red. Isn't this poaching?

But the Imperial College provided talents to the court, and the emperor could not refuse.

The emperor saw Lu Chaochao's ugly face and immediately explained: "How about instead of competing with the female students, we only have one class every day?"

“If you have any opinions, you can raise them. I will satisfy you wherever I can!”

Lu Chaochao's eyes were light: "Emperor, father, the one who took the lead in protesting on the street and the establishment of a women's school was a student of the Imperial College."

The leader, Senior Brother Lin, is a student of the Imperial College.

“Emperor father, what misunderstanding do you have about Chao Chao? Do you actually think that I am some kind of holy lady who repays evil with kindness?”

Lu Chaochao was surprised, even a little shocked when he looked at the old emperor.

emperor……

Thinking about the tragedy that happened to Lu Yuanze's family, the emperor seemed to think it made sense.

This little girl has never been someone who would wrong herself!

"Can't Chao Chao be accommodating?" The emperor was helpless. Who knew a slap in the face would come so quickly?

Lu Chaochao waved his hands and went out: "There is no need to talk." "They don't even have the courage to approach me, and they still want the emperor and father to negotiate an agreement. Why should I forgive them?"

“There are many teachers, it doesn’t mean they have to be the ones!”

Lu Chaochao left the palace immediately, but did not return home. Instead, he walked around the city a few times.

“Girl, do you have anything else to do?” Yushu couldn’t help but asked when he saw that the carriage passed by the Lu Mansion twice without entering the door.

“Wait a little longer and give them some time to prepare.” Lu Chaochao’s words puzzled Yushu.

Chao Chao counted the time before letting the carriage stop at the door.

Sure enough…

There were already many dejected scholars standing at the door.

Hehe, the proud son of heaven, the dragon and the phoenix among men, why don't you come to my door to admit your mistake?

Lu Chaochao did not look at them after getting off the carriage, but just walked in with his head held high.

Senior Brother Lin saw that she was about to enter the house, but he didn't even look at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He closed his eyes and said cruelly, "Princess, please wait a moment."

"Princess, Lin made a big mistake because of his unscrupulous words. Princess, can you please forgive me and give Lin a chance to serve Beizhao and do his best for female students?" Senior Brother Lin looked embarrassed, and he didn't I thought that the words I spoke yesterday must be swallowed today.

“Please forgive me, princess, we know we were wrong.”

"We are the best students in the Imperial College. No ordinary master can compare with us. We will do our best, never hide our selfishness, and serve the women's school well."

“Please forgive me, princess.”

These scholars are the most arrogant at heart. These words almost crushed their arrogance, and they no longer dare to look down on anyone.

Yushu and Yuqin looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy.

They were born with preference and looked down upon women from above, but now they have to enlighten women.

What Yushu didn’t expect was that there was something even more enjoyable!

Lu Chaochao muttered: "But there's not enough accommodation..."

Senior Brother Lin immediately said: “We don’t need a house, we can take care of ourselves, yes, we can find a place to live by ourselves.”

Lu Chaochao muttered: "Three hundred taels per year..."

“Enough, enough, three hundred taels is enough!” Originally, there were only children of courtiers and nobles in the Imperial College, but since the emperor began to recruit talents, the Imperial College also began to accept children from poor families.

More than three hundred taels, which is already an extremely high price.

“No, you’ve got the wrong idea.”

"Three days ago I invited you to make three hundred taels of repairs, plus gifts for New Year and holidays."

"But now, you are the one who gives me three hundred taels. This is the entrance fee..." Lu Chaochao tilted his head and what he said shocked everyone.

"I...we will give you three hundred taels a year?" Senior Brother Lin pointed at himself in astonishment.

“We are here to be masters!” Me? !

Master give it to you? ? ? !

“Yes, Master gave it to us.”

"Brother Lin, things are different now." Three days ago, I respected you, but you didn't know how to praise me.

Three days later, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

"How can this be unreasonable? How can there be such a rule? Master...comes to teach and still pays back! No matter how hard it is, there is no such reason!" Someone immediately objected and opened his mouth to retort.

Lu Chaochao clasped his hands behind his back: "Chaochao doesn't force anyone to do anything. It's still three hundred taels today, but maybe the one with the highest price will get it tomorrow."

“Now, I am not asking you to be my master.”

“It’s you who are asking to teach in a women’s school.” (End of this chapter)
