Chapter 779 Wei Yao Gets Married
"We put so much effort into it before, but we didn't get many students. But now, because of this news, some people are trying their best to send their daughters in."
Lu Yan looked at the list handed over and felt a little amused.
"Who says it's not true? Before, when people thought that the Girls' College was ominous, everyone wanted to leave. Now, with just a few good words, the Girls' College has become popular again. In the final analysis, it's just some unverified news, but it can affect them so much." Wei Yao's tone was also filled with sighs.
"No matter what the reason is, since these women have signed up, let's accept them." Jiang Suining glanced at the list in front of him.
"Although it's a good thing that someone has signed up, I'm worried that if it continues like this, many people will come to the women's academy not for the purpose of studying or learning calligraphy." Lu Yan was worried.
They had always hoped to recruit more female students. Although the current situation seems favorable, in the final analysis, if one's intentions are not right when entering the women's college, one may not be able to study hard.
Jiang Suining understood Lu Yan's considerations and said, "If we turn these people away now, it will inevitably lead to discussion and suspicion. Even if only one or two percent of these people really want to study, we should recruit them."
"I agree with Sui Ning. Even if someone has other purposes, we can't assume that everyone is like this just because of this reason."
As soon as Wei Yao finished speaking, voices were heard outside the door.
"I agree with that idea."
Xiao Yue walked in from outside, and Xiao Su followed behind her.
"Greetings to Prince Su, the Fifth Princess."
Jiang Suining and the other two bowed and saluted.
"You're welcome. I'm just visiting the girls' academy today. I hope I didn't disturb you." Prince Su looked gentle. He was still wearing a Taoist robe and had not changed back into his prince's attire.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. Since the emperor has given the order, you can come to the Women's Academy anytime you want." Jiang Suining said.
Lu Yan and Wei Yao also spoke up.
Although they felt a little uncomfortable with Prince Su's sudden proposal to observe the Girls' Academy, after all, given their status and the permission from the Emperor, they could not openly stop him.
"Do you want to talk to us here, or should I ask someone to take you around the Women's College?" Xiao Yue asked, but her words revealed that she hoped the other party would leave.
Prince Su looked at them and said with a smile, "I think you still have something to discuss, so I won't stay here to disturb you. You don't need anyone to lead the way. This women's academy doesn't look big, so I can just wander around by myself."
Hearing Prince Su say this, Xiao Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Without saying anything more, she quickly watched Prince Su walk out.
After Prince Su left, Lu Yan asked, "Fifth Princess, will your attitude just now displease Prince Su?"
"That's right. After all, he is your great uncle, and the order was issued by the emperor himself. If you offend him, it may not end well." Wei Yao was also worried.
Xiao Yue sighed, "I don't want to offend him, but..."
Xiao Yue paused halfway through her speech.
Looking at a few people, she talked about her trip out of the palace today.
Although Emperor Xiao had issued an order, she had no intention of taking the initiative to bring Prince Su to the Women's Academy.
But when I left the palace today, I happened to run into Prince Su at the palace gate.
After hearing that she was coming to the Girls' Academy, Prince Su expressed his desire to come and take a look as well.
It was difficult for her to refuse, so she could only go with him in the carriage.
"When my father told me about this matter before, I didn't think it was a big deal. But when I met this uncle at the palace gate just now, I felt something was strange. Although he said it was an accidental encounter, judging from his appearance, he must have been waiting there specially. But I didn't tell anyone else about my leaving the palace, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't know."
Moreover, when they came here, they sat in the same carriage. Although they didn't talk much and there were no conflicts, she still felt vaguely uncomfortable in her heart.
It was not known whether this uncle had been practicing Taoism for a long time. Although he was dressed in Taoist robes and looked like an immortal, he always felt something strange when his eyes fell on him.
"Could it be that the previous case of the missing woman was investigated in Sanqing Temple, which offended Prince Su, so he took the opportunity to seek revenge?" Wei Yao speculated.
She had heard Sui Ning talk about what happened at Sanqing Temple before and knew some of the details.
"If you want revenge for what happened before, why go through so much trouble?" Jiang Suining shook his head.
Lu Yan agreed, "Yes, he is Prince Su. If he is really dissatisfied, he has countless ways to cause trouble. Even Prime Minister Shen may not be able to stop him. There is no need to be so roundabout."
This statement caused everyone to fall into a brief silence.
They were suspicious about Prince Su's motives, but they were really confused for a moment.
As for Prince Su, after walking around the Girls' Academy, he didn't say much and left quickly.
It seemed that he really just wanted to take a look at the furnishings and layout of the women's college and stroll around.
Jiang Suining and the others could only put aside their doubts for the time being and start dealing with the new female students who had registered in the academy.
During these days, Wei Yao not only had to handle affairs as a female official, but also had to prepare for marriage.
Seeing that her wedding to Jiang Mushi was just around the corner, Jiang Suining and the others took over most of the affairs of the girls' academy, allowing her to wait for the wedding with peace of mind.
Soon, a few more days passed, and there were only three days left before Wei Yao and Jiang Mushi’s wedding, so Wei Yao formally asked for leave from Queen Shi.
In the past few days, the punishment result of Zhong Xingyun has been announced. He was dismissed from his official position and demoted to a commoner.
When the eunuch was delivering the imperial edict, Zhong Xingyun was drunk and unconscious. In the end, it was Zhong Yixiu who received the imperial edict on behalf of her father.
After receiving the decree, Zhong Yixiu quickly announced the wedding date, which was the day after Wei Yao and Jiang Mushi's wedding.
Three days later, the Jiang family once again hung red silk and the house was filled with guests.
Everyone's face was filled with congratulatory smiles. Jiang Mushi, dressed in red, smiled so hard that his eyebrows were barely visible.
Zhong Yixiu was also among the invited guests today, and seeing the joy all around her, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
After just a moment of curling his lips, an unspeakable sense of loss welled up in his eyes again.
"If you regret it, it's not too late."
Jiang Suining stood behind her at some point and spoke softly.
Zhong Yixue shook her head. "It's too late. The person has already been chosen and the news has spread. If I regret it now, it will only cause people to talk about it."
"If you were really afraid of what people would say, how could you make such a decision and set the wedding date so hastily?"
Jiang Suining and Zhong Yixiu stood side by side, looking at the joy in front of them.
"Don't think about what has already happened and what you have paid for. Ask yourself if you really want to make that choice."
