Chapter 219 Extra 1: I feel a little depressed for no reason
When the Ning Party had not been completely eliminated and the court was in chaos, Wen Hemian stood in the court, responsible for presiding over the overall situation and at the same time gathering his own forces to strive for the ability to fight against the Ning Party.
Later, as Xie Lang grew up, the situation improved a lot. Wen Hemian rarely spoke and most of the time he just stood there, as if to support him.
To be honest, she never thought that one day she would be able to experience what it feels like to sit at the top of the court.
She didn't know what others thought, but her biggest feeling was loneliness - it's lonely at the top, that's probably what it means.
"…So, Master, you know why I want you to sit next to me, right?"
After a long time, Xie Lang suddenly had an idea and asked a question.
"From what you said, it is indeed understandable." Wen Hemian nodded, and then smiled, "But throughout history, I'm afraid you are the only emperor who gave up the throne for this reason."
Xie Lang's action was almost as if he was saying that he would give her half of the kingdom.
But then again, this empire was indeed built by the Wen family and the Xie family together. After going around in circles, it seems like they have returned to the beginning.
Perhaps this is why not many people discuss this issue.
After all, it is really untenable. They cannot question the achievements of their ancestors.
With the court stable and the world at peace, Wen Hemian and Xie Lang's workload was greatly reduced, and they were able to find time to focus on other things.
Ever since female officials began to appear in the court, there are now more and more women in the Imperial College. There are noble ladies from wealthy families as well as smart women specially recruited from the common people. They all study very seriously.
The seriousness was so great that it even caused crisis among the male students. The rich kids who were originally a bit lazy now dared not be careless and read books all day long, fearing that they would be surpassed one day.
Meng Hang, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, expressed his satisfaction during his inspection. In the words of Lord Wen, this is called "involution". If everyone works together, the academic atmosphere will get better.
Thanks to her brother, Ye Siyao was fortunate enough to be admitted to the Imperial College. She had seen Lord Wen from afar several times, but had never had the chance to talk to him.
Unexpectedly, not long after the emperor and empress got married, Lord Wen decided to come to the school to teach. Although it was only twice a month, it was a rare opportunity.
The place where the lectures were given was a university hall, and everyone was open to it. But it was always difficult to get a front seat, and today was no exception.
Ye Siyao hurried out of the house, holding a book in her arms. When she was going up the stairs, she tripped over her left foot and was about to fall to the ground. She sighed inwardly at her bad luck and closed her eyes almost instantly.
But the expected pain did not come, and instead a hand supported her.
"Be careful."
The person who supported her had a gentle and pleasant voice, which was inexplicably familiar. Ye Siyao opened her eyes and was wondering which classmate it was. After turning around, her eyes suddenly widened.
Seeing that the little girl didn't move, Wen Hemian was a little puzzled: "Were you scared just now?"
“No, no, no!” Ye Siyao waved her hands hurriedly, her voice stumbling, “Wen, Wen… Thank you, Master Wen!”
Oh my god, she was actually supported by Lord Wen!
she she she...
Wen Hemian nodded slightly, and looked at the little girl again. Seeing the book in her arms, he smiled and said, "Are you going to attend my class?"
Ye Siyao blushed and nodded awkwardly: "Yeah."
"Then come with me." Wen Hemian was not arrogant. Seeing the little girl following him closely, he slowed down his voice and said, "I remember you. Lord Ye has mentioned you to me many times. If you work hard, you will soon be able to become a female official."
This was true. Wen Hemian had always known that Ye Zhaoxuan had a younger sister. The age difference between them was quite large, so as an older brother, Ye Zhaoxuan always doted on his younger sister and also said that she wanted to be a female official.
Ye Siyao didn't know about this. She was a little surprised: "Really?"
"Yes." Wen Hemian smiled, "When I am not busy in the future, I will come to the Imperial College more often. There are many seats in the academy, so you don't have to fight for them."
He actually saw through Ye Siyao's original thoughts at a glance.
The little girl blushed again: "I see. Thank you, Master Wen."
As they were talking, they arrived at the school. They walked in one after the other. The noisy noise inside suddenly quieted down. Ye Siyao hurried over and found a place to sit down.
Wen Hemian stood there and waited for a while. Seeing that most people had arrived, he began to give the lecture at a leisurely pace.
Having raised children for so many years, she has gained some experience. She quietly incorporated some modern thinking into the classroom. The students in the audience listened with great interest and were still not satisfied after the whole class.
There were many people in the classroom and the smells were mixed. Wen Hemian felt inexplicably depressed. Seeing that everyone was discussing together eagerly, he did not want to disturb them and walked out first.
Ye Siyao was in luck today. After class, she originally wanted to continue to talk to Lord Wen, but when she saw this scene, she hurried to follow him. As a result, as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she saw a bright yellow figure standing in front of Lord Wen.
The emperor lowered his eyes, as if he was talking to Lord Wen. With guards standing by, they couldn't get through at all.
"Don't look at me, silly girl." A passing female student patted her shoulder and said, "The emperor is coming to pick up Lord Wen today, don't join in the fun."
Ye Siyao naturally understood this truth, and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Okay..."
But she thought to herself, if she could enter the court sooner, wouldn't she be able to see Lord Wen more often?
On the other side, Xie Lang said in a sour voice: "Didn't the Master say he was busy a few days ago? Why did he think of giving them extra lessons now?"
Wen Hemian seemed not to notice his abnormality and said calmly, "I think they like my class very much. It's a bit crowded for them to be squeezed in one place. It should be better if we add two more classes."
Wen Hemian was just soft-hearted. When she saw so many students, especially the girls, working hard to enter the court, she couldn't help but want to reach out and give them a hand.
It may be just a simple task for her, but for those women, it is an opportunity to change their destiny.
Xie Lang held her in his arms and walked out. Thinking of her recent hard work, he was reluctant to continue to act like a spoiled brat, and finally snorted, "My tutor is kind-hearted."
Wen Hemian couldn't help but find it funny: "I'm with you almost every day, why are you jealous about this?"
When the weather gets cold, Xie Lang's role becomes apparent. He has a hot temper, and by embracing her, the warmth is transferred to her. He is simply a walking hot water bottle. That is why Wen Hemian does not refuse him to come and pick her up.
Xie Lang didn't want to say that he was just a little unwilling.
He led Wen Hemian into the carriage and lowered his voice: "I am also your student."
Wen Hemian suddenly understood that he felt that his position was no longer unique.
She squinted at him with a look of confusion: "You are fighting for this title, why don't you think about the fact that you are still my husband?"
Xie Lang thought about it and felt that it made sense. The little flame that was originally burning in his heart was immediately extinguished. He happily leaned over to kiss her, his voice soft and honest: "Then just be my husband."
