After Zhuangzi's school was completed, Guanshi Jia followed the order of the princess and asked the farmers to send their children to the school to study.

Knowing that tuition and miscellaneous fees are free, and can also include a lunch, the farmers were very happy, and sent their sons to the school one after another.

As for the girls, of course they had to stay at home and work.

Fortunately, King Zhao prepared a second plan.

He ordered two embroiderers to be hired, saying that he could teach the girls how to embroider for free, and also included a lunch.

For the farmers, this is simply a pie that fell from the sky, and fools don't want it!

They scrambled to send their daughters to the school, and told them to learn from Xiu Niang.

The embroiderers have already been instructed. While teaching embroidery, they told the girls about the benefits of reading.

As time passed, the girls gradually became interested in reading.

It happened that there was a female teacher in the school.

The girls learn embroidery every morning, and read and read with the female teacher in the afternoon.

It happened to be afternoon when Hua Manman came to the school.

The two classrooms on the left are full of boys. They are studying with their masters. The sound of reading is floating out of the window, which is quite pleasant.

The girls are sitting in the classroom on the right, and they are practicing calligraphy at the moment.

The classroom was very quiet, and the brazier in the corner was burning quietly, exuding warmth continuously.

Holding the stove in her hand, the lady teacher walked slowly past the desks, her eyes flicked over the papers in front of the students one by one.

If she sees that someone has written something incorrectly, the female master will stop, point out the typo, and tell the other party how to write it correctly.

Hua Manman stood quietly by the window, and immediately saw Jin Ling'er and Lan Xuan sitting in the second row from the far left.

The two little girls are practicing calligraphy seriously, and there seems to be light in their beautiful eyes.

Guanshi Jia asked in a low voice: "Does the princess want to go in and have a look?"

Hua Manman shook her head, saying no.

She turned and left the school.

It wasn't until after school that Jin Ling'er and Lan Xuan knew that Princess Zhao had come.

They were very pleasantly surprised and immediately took Jin Sinian to visit the princess.

Hua Manman asked people to move the plinth, let them sit around the fire, and asked them how they were doing recently?

Both Lan Xuan and Jin Sinian were relatively shy and not good at speaking, and it was Jin Linger who was always talking.

She told the concubine the new text she had learned recently, and also told some interesting things that happened in the school. The whole person looked energetic, which was very different from before.

Although she was very lively in the past, every time she chatted with people, she almost always talked about her younger brother, and rarely mentioned herself.

But it is different now, she has to go to school every day to study, not only learned a lot, but also met a lot of friends.

She already has her own circle of life.

Qinghuan used iron tongs to remove the charcoal ashes, and pulled out the fragrantly roasted chestnuts and peanuts.

Like hot milk tea coming from the clouds.

Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very happy.

...

At this time, in Hanzhang Hall, there is indeed another completely opposite scene.

The emperor's condition has not improved since the last time he was so angry that his heart disease relapsed.

He has been bedridden for more than ten days.

Most of the government affairs in the court were handled by a few senior ministers from the Zhongshu Province. Only some very important memorials, for which the senior ministers dared not make up their minds, would be sent to the emperor for the emperor to make a decision himself.

But this is not a long-term solution after all.

People kept playing, asking the emperor to appoint a prince as soon as possible.

In the end, even several veteran ministers brought up the issue of the establishment of the prince in front of the emperor.

The emperor didn't show it on the face, but he was not very happy in his heart.

Hua Qingqing noticed that the emperor's brows were frowning, and she took the initiative to stretch out her white, tender and slender catkins, and gently massaged his forehead to help him soothe his emotions.

After a while, she suddenly heard the emperor ask.

"Do you think I'm a wise man?"

Hua Qingqing said softly: "You are diligent in government affairs, you care about the people of Li, and you make the world peaceful and clean. You are naturally a wise king."

The emperor laughed at himself: "If I am a wise king, why are they still in such a hurry to appoint a crown prince? I am just a little sick, and I am going to drive west immediately. Why are they so eager to find a new family?"

These words should not be said to a concubine.

But he has been really depressed these days, and he really wants to spit it out.

Anyway, there is no one else at the moment, and Hua Qingqing is devoted to him, so it shouldn't matter even if you tell her.

Hua Qingqing said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The courtiers are eager to appoint a crown prince just in case, not because they are dissatisfied with you. Your achievements are obvious to all. No matter whether you are a civil or military official, the people of the world will definitely hope for you. You can live as long as heaven and earth."

The emperor sighed and said helplessly.

"I don't expect to live as long as the world, I just hope that my body can recover as soon as possible."

Hua Qingqing: "The imperial physicians are trying to find a way to treat your illness. I think you will recover from your illness in a short time."

Emperor: "I hope so."

During the period of the emperor's illness, Hua Qingqing was always by his side to serve him.

Food, water, and medicine, she did everything by herself, and took good care of the emperor.

It is said that sick people are more vulnerable than usual.

The emperor is no exception.

He watched Hua Qingqing take care of himself with all her heart every day, and his heart was touched.

Once she was so tired that she sat on the footstool next to the bed and fell asleep.

The emperor's heart softened.

He asked someone to fetch a cloak for Hua Qingqing to put on.

But as soon as the cloak fell on her shoulders, she woke up.

She raised her head, met the emperor's eyes, and hurriedly stood up.

"It's a concubine who deserves to die, but she dozed off while serving His Majesty, please punish her."

It was too late for the emperor to feel sorry for her, so how could he be willing to punish her?

He said softly: "Since you are tired, go down and rest for a while. I have someone to take care of you here, so you don't need to worry."

Hua Qingqing shook her head: "No need, the concubine has already rested just now."

She insisted on refusing to leave, the emperor had no choice but to scold her mildly.

"What a silly girl."

During the period when the emperor was recovering from illness, Li Ying, the king of Wuzhang, would visit the emperor in the palace every day.

Such filial piety is really rare.

The emperor's mood was very complicated.

The eldest son, the crown prince, and the fifth prince whom he once loved all passed away one after another, and even Dongyang King Li Hao, whom he once entrusted with important tasks, betrayed him.

Among the remaining three sons, the sixth and seventh princes are still young.

Only Wu Zhang Wang Li Ying can share his worries.

However, as long as he thought of the woman who gave birth to Li Ying, the emperor couldn't like Li Ying, his son.

Today Li Ying came to greet the emperor as usual.

The emperor suddenly presented him with a problem——

"Now that I'm sick in bed, in order to avoid turmoil, the courtiers suggest that I appoint a crown prince as soon as possible. How do you think this matter should be decided?"
