“It hasn’t been a few days since Consort Lin became arrogant. If it wasn’t for her acting like a spoiled child and crying like a child, she wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant!”

The Empress looked at the concubines in the palace and said, “All of them are learning from each other. They all think that the crying child will get candy, so why don’t they pay attention to the Empress’s difficulties?”

Gu Yongzhi looked at the Empress and didn’t dare to continue.

He said, “Alright, I’ll send this arrogant woman to the concubine’s position in the future so that she won’t be lawless.”

The Empress was smart. She had been with him for a long time, so she naturally knew his personality.

Some men liked beautiful women who were arrogant and liked to act spoiled.

“It’s better to be lucky than to be unlucky. Let’s do it today. It’ll be the most suitable place for Consort Lin to move to the Spring Hall. The Spring Hall has always been the place where the concubines live, so it suits her new identity.” The Empress handed over a brush. “I’ll write the imperial edict for His Majesty.”

Gu Yongzhi naturally couldn’t take back what he had said. He wrote the imperial edict and sent it to where Consort Lin lived.

Gu Yongzhi waited for Gu Jun’an to leave and then sent the Empress away. Gu Yongzhi then asked the eunuch to come in. “Have you found out anything?”

“This servant has heard that before His Highness came, he already sent someone to inform the Empress, so the Empress came at the right time.”

“The Empress has been acting strange lately. Why is she still arguing with Consort Lin? I heard that Consort Lin was called to her palace to kneel for a few times, and it was all small things. Normally, the Empress wouldn’t bother about it.”

The eunuch said, “It was about last year. The Crown Prince was captured by an assassin. Noble Consort Lin didn’t know why but she threatened the assassin and almost hurt the Crown Prince.”

After the eunuch said that, Gu Buji remembered that Noble Consort Lin said something.

His eyes moved and he waved his hand, “That’s it. Go down.”

The eunuch immediately bowed and left.

When Noble Consort Lin heard the imperial edict, she threw it out, “I don’t want to take it. I don’t want to take the edict. I am the most beloved consort of His Majesty. How could His Majesty send me to be a concubine?”

In a short while, someone came to the side of the Empress, “I heard that Noble Consort doesn’t like new places. We will send the Empress to the Imperial Palace.”

She bowed slightly, “Please forgive me.” Then she captured Noble Consort Lin and sent her to the Spring Hall.

She let go of her hand and said, “Consort Lin, the Empress said that if you feel wronged, go and cause trouble. What the Empress did before, do you really think that paper can contain fire?”

“His Majesty is annoyed and the Empress is tired. We will investigate how the Ninth Princess fell into the water.”

“Who was the one who took the one million taels of silver that the Song Clan was embezzled with? Let’s not talk about other things. Just the matter of the Ninth Princess falling into the water and falling on the head of the Empress was something that even if one had a few lives, one would not be able to pay for Canglan.”

When Consort Lin heard what she did, she didn’t dare to cause trouble anymore.

Lan Qingqian was already seven years old when spring came.

The Qianming Academy, which had been closed for decades, was finally opened. It was the most important event in the history of the Imperial City of the West. It was almost comparable to the Qianming Festival of the emperor.

The Imperial Court and the Imperial Palace had sent people to prepare for the opening of the academy. They had also invited people who were capable in the court or who had retired from the government to cultivate a new batch of talents.

The reason why the Imperial City was so lively was because the Qianming Academy was finally opened. Of course, they were going to recruit students. Everyone who had a good reputation in the Imperial City had invited their teachers to tutor their children. It was a lively event.

“What is the academy?” Lan Qingqian followed Chun Sui out and heard the people talking about the Qianming Academy. She then asked Gu Jun’an when she came back.

Gu Jun’an replied, “It’s a private school where a lot of people go to study. It’s just like you going to the Crown Prince’s school, but there are more people.”

Lan Qingqian was a little excited when she heard that there were more people. “I want to go too, Old Marquis.”

“You?” He glanced at her and said, “You haven’t even learned to read a thousand characters yet. Why are you going to the Qianming Academy?”

However, on second thought, it was better to go to the Qianming Academy. It would save the Crown Prince from spending all his time on this little thing. He would also be praised for being able to get close to the Crown Prince.

He sent the little thing to the Qianming Academy so that he could see how close he was to the Crown Prince.

In the 4th month, the Qian Ming Academy organized the entrance exam. The female and male rankings were announced. There were a lot of people in front of the rankings. They were all here to see the results of their master.

The carriage of the prime minister’s residence stopped far away. Seeing the maid running away so fast, Wei Lianyi felt that it was most likely that she had already become the top rank.

Xiao Rong bowed and congratulated, “Congratulations, Lady. There are 120 females in the rankings. Lady is ranked first in the female rankings. Third Miss’s results aren’t bad either, she’s ranked 105.”

“What about brother?” Wei Lianyi asked.

Xiao Rong had a troubled look on his face, “Brother isn’t in the rankings.” His voice immediately became weaker.

Wei Lianyi frowned when she heard that, “Understood. Let’s go out and walk around. We’ll go back later.”

When Wei Lianyi entered the house, she heard her mother’s angry voice, “You heartless thing. Have you not eaten? Do you think you can become a phoenix just because you entered a school? Didn’t you see your big brother being so useless? Who are you showing off to?”

There was also the grievance of Second Aunt and Wei Lianyue’s crying.

“Why aren’t you going to take off your clothes?”

Wei Lianyi turned and returned to her own courtyard. Xiao Rong said, “Madam seems to be angry. Lady, shouldn’t we go and persuade her?”

“It’s not like you don’t know my mother’s temper. No matter what, I want big brother to be good. She’s the one I like.”

“No matter how capable or talented a woman is, she would still become a concubine in the palace, a noble’s concubine, or a female official in the harem.”

To put it nicely, she was a female official. To put it bluntly, she was a high-level female servant, or a female doctor who could treat the illnesses of the officials.

How could she be like a man? She could be a marquis or a general, and she would have endless glory. Now that her elder brother had lost his limelight, she couldn’t stop herself from getting angry. Even if I went, she would still scold me.

Therefore, when she heard the news, she didn’t come back early and purposely avoided it.

When Xiao Rong heard this, she didn’t feel sad. “It would be great if Miss was a young master. She would definitely be able to become a marquis or a minister.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about it. Otherwise, our parents will be unhappy if they hear about it.” As a woman, she had her own good points. She could like a son like Gu Jun’an!

Not long after, they heard a loud noise outside the house. When Xiao Rong went to check, she found out that her elder brother went out to look for women. Now that he had returned, he was drunk and had a disagreement with her father.

She locked the yard and let them go.

With Gu Jun’an’s status, it wasn’t difficult for her to ask for a position in the Qianming Courtyard. Moreover, Lan Qingqian’s identity was special. She could be considered a distinguished guest of the West Province, so it was naturally easier for her.

When the Qianming Courtyard opened, everyone found that there were two more people in the group. One was the current crown prince, Gu Tianrui, and the other was the ninth princess of Canglan, Lan Qingqian.
