Exile Queen is Beloved
Chapter 64 - Yuanqing Academy

It had been a few months since Yuan Shi's departure but had yet to bear any fruit, Qing Er felt lonely yet she also had no other choice but to carry out the task well. The matter in the Inner Palace was only a small matter that the concubines fussed over, about the scramble for some of the gifts that Qing 'Er had prepared for them.

Inside the Emperor's room, Qing Er sighed softly. He opened several pieces of work belonging to the Emperor, as he opened the sturdy teak wood drawer, Qing Er stared at some neatly stored scrolls. Empress Qing grabbed a scroll and opened it slowly, a smile then fell on her face looking at the contents of the scroll. He grabbed the others and saw some of the same pictures.

"It's unexpected that you have such sharp eyesight, even making dozens of paintings like this." Qing' Er smiled faintly but then she returned moody and felt homesick for Yuan Shi.

Qing Er could not help her feelings, especially as her stomach grew bigger. Without Yuan Shi everything felt increasingly heavy, let alone to be honest he desperately needed the attention of the Emperor. Liu Qing then decided to get out of Yuan Shi's room and immediately enter the academy for the royal princesses that had just begun.

Some kingdoms send their daughters to explore the four sciences that are mandatory for the nobles. Manners, manners, crafts and also dance arts. Today, Qing Er would welcome the arrival of all of them and impart one embroidery lesson that she would exemplify to the princesses of the kingdom that had been registered.

Accompanied by several servants and also Yun Shan finally Qing' Er entered the academy room. Everyone looked astonished at the graceful aura and beauty of Qing Er, they saluted as they continued to pay attention to how Qing 'Er walked and her attitude that looked resolute and dignified. It is very suitable and as reported lately, his name has become increasingly soar in the community. Not one two praised the intelligence of all the ideas and breakthroughs that Qing Er did for the people of the Capital and the countryside.

A subtle smile was engraved on her face, on the first chair was seen Ning Shuang waving at her sister-in-law with vigor. The others were the younger brother of Prince Beiming and the rest were princesses from other kingdoms. This first academy will be a new example before finally venturing out of the palace and into the corners that are devoted to other communities. So that all children who have the potential to become Xia's pride will get equal rights.

"Greet Her Majesty Queen Qing!" Said they were all compact.

"Thank you, it's great to see everyone excited to hear my welcome today. I won't be too serious, all I want is for you to enjoy your time in the academy well. Make the academy your second home. Befriend all of them without distinguishing anything, I in charge of the academy will always hear good proposals from all of you." Queen Qing surrounded the room like a real teacher.

Everyone watched and nodded their heads, all the women looked amazed at the virtue and perfection their Queen possessed. So that without realizing it after the initial learning session had begun, Qing Er showed how to embroider properly and correctly. Actually, his skills were not that fast. For two weeks he asked Nemo to look for embroider tutorials or magic tools that make it easier to embroider. But with determination he was finally able to do it himself well and began to be skilled in doing it.

The initial learning had been given by Qing' Er, then continued by a real teacher sent from Beiming on the advice of Counselor Yun. Qing Er walked out of the room and through the corridors of the fledgling academy. The sound of footsteps rang out from behind making the woman turn her head. Ning Shuang looked smiling and approached towards her sister-in-law.

"Honor the Empress" said the sister-in-law.

"Ning, just be relaxed." Qing Er gave a small laugh then asked the servants and the others to leave her with Ning Shuang.

"Sorry, it's been a long time since I've seen Brother Qing' Er. Brother knew that Ning had to meet Teacher Ling to Beiming in order to learn the art. But, thanks to big brother who has built this special academy everything is easy and the teacher's fee is guaranteed. This academy is like a useful and profitable thing. Brother is amazing!" Ning unceasingly praised Qing Er, the look on her face looked so bright and sparkling.

"Ning was overly complimentary, I was just taking care of everything that your Big Brother Yuan Shi had planned!" Qing Er lowered her head, calling Yuan Shi's name made her think of the man.

"Sister must have missed the Emperor, the expansion of the territory did take a long time. I don't know when Brother Yuan will be back..." Ning's words suddenly made Qing Er's eyes round, she had absolutely no idea about the expansion of the territory that Ning Shuang was talking about. Had Yuan Shi lied and covered it up from him?

"What does Ning mean about the expansion of the territory? The Emperor went to Han Yang to look for Xiao" Qing Er said as she waited for Ning Shuang's reply.

"Ah—" Ning Shuang finally realized that her brother-in-law had not known about the expansion of the territory that Yuan Shi was doing in Han Yang. "Ning, misspoke!" he continued nervously.

"You can't lie to me, if you don't want to say it I'll ask the Royal Counsel directly on this matter." Qing Er was already about to turn around and look for Yun Shan within the academy. However, his hand was held back by Ning Shuang's grasp.

"All right, I'll explain. Brother Yuan was indeed aiming to find Xiao, but since the Han Kingdom could not be negotiated with, so the idea of expanding the territory emerged. Brother Yuan will eliminate the Han Kingdom area and will take it as a territory under the auspices of his rule." Clearly Ning straightforwardly.

"So what he actually did was fight for the Han Kingdom?" Qing Er was a bit of a headache hearing Ning Shuang's explanation. However, everything had happened she could no longer hold her husband. Perhaps that was indeed Emperor Yuan Shi's best decision.

As the lovable shoots arrived, Yun Shan came out of the academy and met Qing Er and Ning who were still talking. Without a second thought, Qing Er asked the truth that Ning had conveyed earlier to Yun Shan.

"Advisor, you never mentioned the expansion of the territory that the Emperor was doing? Are you covering it up for me?" Qing' Er furrowed her brows and waited for Yun Shan's reply which she expected to satisfy her ego.

"Pardon me for this, Your Majesty. The emperor himself asked the servant to hide it from you so that the servant would not dare to say this even a word." Yun Shan lowered his head and apologized from Qing Er.

"Then, can I catch up with him? I'm sure I can help him!" exclaimed Qing Er sternly.
