Chapter 98: Principal Song, what do you think of my son?
I finally got to meet the Principal Song that His Majesty mentioned. The girl is more outstanding in appearance than those noble ladies outside. She has a graceful temperament like orchid, and her whole body aura is that of a strict teacher.

Mu Ze and his naughty cousin got into trouble years ago. Now they are more sensible and considerate than before. They are ambitious and can open a bookstore, all thanks to the good teaching of Principal Song.

The imperial concubine looked at Principal Song with a warm smile, "I hope Principal Song will not blame me for my negligence today."

Song Yanjin replied politely, "No problem."

Xia Yunheng and Xia Muze had no idea what the two were talking about, and they whispered to each other how to ask the Imperial Concubine for money...

The imperial concubine was too ashamed to look at her son. "Song Shanzhang, His Majesty has praised you a lot in private. Since there is a banquet today, I want to take this opportunity to see what kind of remarkable girl you are."

"I also want to know, how did a girl like you come up with the idea of ​​opening a school? You must have suffered a lot of setbacks, right?"

You want to invite me into the palace...

Song Yanjin was speechless. The queen in the palace was just idle!

Complaints are complaints, but answers must be given truthfully. Song Yanjin activated the system with his consciousness, scanning the precious objects in Xiyan Palace while telling the Empress about his bloody and tearful story of starting a business. "Your Majesty, I was originally a female teacher at the Lishan Academy in Lin'an. I left the academy by chance..."

Try to say what she wants to hear.

Xia Yunheng interrupted to add a few words at the interesting part. Big Cousin Sister's Academy would be in trouble without him!
The first batch of students for the Autumn Examination were all brought by him. It was also he who urged his classmates to study. It was also he who stepped forward to deal with the trouble made by those rascals in the Imperial College opposite.

"Mother, it's a good thing I'm not taking the imperial examination. You don't know how miserable the students in the academy are. They have to recite at noon, take exams every now and then, and take palace examinations..."

The third prince poured out all the academic pressure from Qingyun Academy.

The imperial concubine was stunned. How could this little girl be so capable?

Although Song Shanzhang's father, Song Yilang, holds a low-ranking official position, his daughter has a promising future. Those who graduate from Qingyun Academy will surely become officials. Who knows, in the future, everyone in the court may be her student.

Such a great help was too exciting, so the imperial concubine asked tentatively, "Shangshanzhang, what do you think of my son?"

Xia Yunheng and the third prince looked at each other. What does the Imperial Concubine (mother) mean?

Song Yanjin, who was speaking dryly, took a sip of tea and then put down the teacup. "The third prince has a good understanding and his academic level in the Spring Examination Class is above average. He is very motivated and has a bright future."

Xia Muzhe blushed with embarrassment after hearing this, and Dean Song praised him!
"Hahaha……"

The imperial concubine almost fell over laughing. This child must have become stupid from studying so much.

Song Yanjin was confused by the laughter. What was so funny?

The more she saw his cute look, the more the imperial concubine liked him. She stopped laughing and said, "What I'm asking is what kind of person my son is. Is he a good match for you?"

Song Yanjin: “…”

not so good!
Xia Muze and Xia Yunheng jumped up anxiously and said in unison, "No!"

"My mother will definitely decide my cousin's marriage, so you don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty."

"Mother, I am still young, the same age as my cousin, so there is no need to rush to discuss marriage."

The two were indignant and expressed their opinions...

This saves Song Yanjin a lot of trouble.

The imperial concubine frowned, unable to bear the chattering of the two. She had just thought her son was sensible, but now she took back her previous words.

He waved his hand to send the two away, and when the hall was quiet, he continued to ask the little girl about her feelings.

The eldest princess loves this girl the most. She also has some concerns, but she still needs the girl's approval before she can get married. You can't force her to do something even if she doesn't want to.

Song Yanjin stood up and saluted the Imperial Concubine solemnly, "Thank you for your appreciation of me. I am older than the Third Prince, so it is not too much to call you sister. I have no intention of getting married at the moment." The little girl refused decisively, and the Imperial Concubine was a little displeased. Considering the eldest princess...

Well, let’s take it step by step!
"Today's banquet is a bit boring, Mr. Song, please go back."

The imperial concubine stood up and left behind the screen.

The eunuch glanced at Mr. Song, sighed regretfully, and then caught up with the empress.

After all the palace maids left, Song Yanjin walked out of Xiyan Palace.

The two boys at the door had not left yet. When Xia Muzhe saw people coming out, he lowered his head guiltily. His mother was so weird today.

The eldest cousin looked unhappy, so Xia Yunheng stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, eldest cousin. I will tell mother about this matter later. She will take care of it. No one dares to force you. Everything is up to you."

Song Yanjin patted his shoulder with emotion, "It's okay, I can handle it."

In the academy, Principal Song was very nice to him, so Xia Muze mustered up his courage and said, "Principal Song, I have absolutely no feelings for you. This is all a prank by my mother. Don't believe it."

First explain everything to the headmaster, then come back and try to persuade my mother.

Song Yanjin smiled comfortingly, "Yeah."

After the conversation was clear, the three of them left, talking and laughing as usual.

Passing by the Imperial Garden, Gongshu Yuanyuan saw someone coming and strode forward anxiously, "Song Shanzhang, why did the Imperial Concubine summon you to the palace only after the banquet was over? Is everything alright?"

The palace is different from being outside. Dean Song is very famous in the academy, so he inevitably feels a little uncomfortable here. It is better to have good friends around him.

Song Yanjin nodded with a smile, "It's okay, the Imperial Concubine appreciates me, and we talked about the establishment of the academy and that's it. Let's go, it's getting late, let's leave the palace first."

She thought that they were just going to talk about these things. There was another powerful woman in the capital, which inevitably aroused curiosity. Gongshu Yuanyuan followed her without worry.

The third prince went back after being sent to the palace gate, without telling his mother about the bookstore's lack of money.

After returning to Qingyun Academy, Song Yanjin couldn't help asking his little cousin about opening a bookstore, "Where is the bookstore going to be opened? What stage is the preparation at now?"

Xia Yunheng bared his teeth in amusement and said proudly, "Over at Shuyuan Street, we have gathered all the talented writers of storybooks and are currently working hard on the creation. However, it will take a lot of manpower to copy them into books in the later stage, and the money... is not enough."

I'm sorry to be scratching my head at the end.

Gongshu Yuanyuan knew what Song Shanzhang was planning, and she didn't know whether he would help her cousin. At this moment, she smiled and looked at her without saying a word.

It has come to this, and this brat didn't even think of discussing it with her beforehand.

Song Yanjin said helplessly, "Your cousin has the same idea. Qingyun Academy is planning to open a bookstore with the author of "The Howl of the Partridge"."

Xia Yunheng's eyes widened, and two seconds later he pulled his cousin's arm like a lackey, "Cousin, how about investing in our bookstore? The place and the people are ready, just nod your head and wait for the money to be counted..."

Gongshu Yuanyuan shook her head in disdain. It was getting late, so she said goodbye to Principal Song and left.

Song Yanjin climbed the stone stairs with a heavy load and was already out of breath when he reached the entrance of the academy.

He shook off the plaster on his hand and said, "I'm not interested in your bookstore. Don't waste time. I'm really hungry."

"No, I won't leave if my cousin doesn't agree today."

Song Yanjin believed what he said. It was just that her little cousin and the third prince were in partnership, and if she invested in them, Jiang Nanxue might not agree. There were too many owners and it would be a mess.

Send a big red envelope to apologize!!!
