Chapter 324 News from the Capital
When the queen heard the news, she was instantly furious, "Who is it? Who is ruining my son's good fortune?"
Her eyes were wide open, her face flushed red, her hands were clenched into fists, and her whole body was shaking slightly with anger.
Then he turned to the maid and said sternly, "Dress me up, hurry up, I want to see the emperor."
"Yes." The palace maid naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and moved swiftly.
Soon, the queen came to the imperial study in a hurry with her personal maid.
The moment she arrived at the imperial study, the empress suddenly thought of the emperor's temper and immediately calmed down.
Seeing this, the personal maid asked cautiously, "Madam, shall we go in?"
"Come in." The queen had calmed down, her eyes were steady and her expression was calm, and she was obviously more confident.
The empress had lived with the emperor and his wife for many years, and she understood his nature best: she loved him and wanted him to live, and hated him and wanted him to die.
After entering, she did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, have you heard how those people evaluated Princess Yi Xin? After hearing that, I was really unable to calm down."
The emperor turned his head to look at Zhang Rang beside him. Zhang Rang immediately understood what he meant. He leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered in detail what those people outside said about Chu Ci.
"How outrageous!" Upon hearing this, the emperor became extremely angry and his face instantly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
When the Zhenbei Army encountered trouble, those civil and military officials who usually talked big and discussed things were now completely clueless and helpless.
Now, under his suggestion, the prince humbled himself and solved the problem properly.
But these people jumped out at this critical juncture. What are they going to do?
Is this a slap in the face of him as an emperor?
Do they think that their throne can be challenged at will?
When the queen saw this, she couldn't help but feel happy, knowing that her plan had succeeded.
However, she still tried to suppress the joy that was about to burst out in her heart, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Since those people are so ungrateful and shameless, Your Majesty, please don't give them any face anymore."
The emperor paused for a moment after hearing this, "What does the queen mean?"
The Queen did not refuse at this time and said bluntly: "What I mean is that we should publicize the fact that Princess Yixin helped the court to collect and transport grain and grass."
"When the civil and military officials were at their wits' end when the Zhenbei Army was in trouble, it was Princess Yixin, who they said was a publicity-seeker and unfaithful woman, who spared no effort to help."
"What qualifications do they have to accuse Princess Yixin, who serves the country and the people and is loyal to her master? I really feel unfair for the princess."
The Queen's words really touched the Emperor's heart, so the Emperor hesitated for only a moment before decisively ordering Zhang Rang beside him, "Did you hear me? Go and do it."
So, it only took an hour or two.
Everyone in the capital city already knew about it at the critical moment when the Zhenbei Army was in a critical situation of life and death.
It was Chu Ci who, regardless of his own safety, resolutely mobilized the power of the caravan and worked closely with the prince. After going through numerous hardships and obstacles along the way, he finally successfully transported up to 300,000 tons of food and fodder to the Zhenbei army.
Princess Yi Xin instantly became a hero of the Great Zhou and a role model for women there.
Before this, the people in the capital still had doubts and were full of distrust about Chu Ci's decision to allow women to study medicine and farming.
After these twists and turns, their attitudes have undergone a drastic change, from initial doubt to blind belief today.
The emperor established a "Women's College", and Chuci added female doctors and agricultural sciences to it. Now, for them, this must have contained profound meanings and careful planning that they have not yet understood.
In just three days, the two subjects that Chu Ci had previously been unable to recruit enough students for no matter how hard he tried, are now fully booked, and there is even a situation where the registration is far in excess of the quota.
Of course, it was half a month later when Chu Ci learned the news.
Chu Ci looked at the letter sent by Nanny Zhang and was slightly stunned for a moment. His eyes were full of disbelief and he seemed to be frozen in place.
Chu Ci stared at the words on the letter. She was extremely surprised by the lines of praise for him.
After a long time, she slowly murmured to herself: "Is it possible? I didn't do anything so great. I helped only because I have the ability to do so!"
"Such a response and such an honor actually makes me a little nervous."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui shook his head gently, walked to Chu Ci with steady steps, reached out and slowly took the letter that Chu Ci was holding tightly in his hand.
After a quick glance, he looked at it sincerely and gently, and said earnestly, "My lady, please don't be so self-deprecating."
"Everyone saw clearly what you did."
"You fully deserve this honor. You fully deserve it."
"But..." Chu Ci was about to open her mouth to explain, but Fan Jingrui immediately interrupted her: "My lady, you have disregarded your own safety and given your all to help the Zhenbei Army. This is a real great achievement."
"Everyone has seen what you have done, and it is not an exaggeration to give you such praise."
Chu Ci thought to himself: What else can she do?
Should she tell Fan Jingrui that all this was due to the space and that she was just waving her hands all night?
But on second thought, the owner of this space is her, Chu Ci!
Thinking of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but reflect deeply on what happened to him during this period of time?
Why do I always dwell on these meaningless, fearless things?
It is really wrong to waste your energy on these trivial troubles when there are many important things waiting to be done.
After figuring this out, Chu Ci felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off his chest, and he instantly relaxed. "Then, my husband, if I use this achievement to ask the imperial physician who is good at gynecology in the palace to teach at the Women's College, will the emperor agree?"
"Uh..." Although Fan Jingrui was already accustomed to Chu Ci's unconventional thinking, he was still caught off guard by her sudden turn and stood there in a daze for a moment.
After a long time, Fan Jingrui came to his senses and said, "Maybe, my lady can give it a try?"
Chu Ci knew Fan Jingrui, and when he said "you can give it a try", it meant that the chances of success were very high.
So when she heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up, like bright stars blooming in her eyes. "Husband, how long do you think it will take us to return to Beijing?"
