Splendid Twins

Si Yao nodded slightly, and with a thought, the pendant went directly into the space.

"I'll keep this for now, and I'll return it to you when I need it in the future."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt a little helpless, but a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly:

"Did you make a mistake?"

Si Yao: “?”

"The engagement has already been made, why are you still so distant? You are in full control of all my things, and no one dares to interfere."

When Si Yao heard this, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled:

"Well, I like to hear that. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine."

Lu Yuan's eyebrows were filled with joy, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his voice was low and full of magnetism:

"The wedding date has been set, and the Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for it. Yaoyao, do you have any special ideas or requests?"

That day, he took her back to the Regent's Palace, and on the way he pestered her to make a good day.

He finally realized that this person would not take the initiative unless she was pushed.

Si Yao shook her head slightly: "Try to keep it simple. I'll pick a day and just complete the ceremony."

"How can that be possible? The wedding of the prince and the princess must be grand and solemn."

"Okay, then you decide. I don't have a dowry or a family anyway."

This was just a casual remark, but Lu Yuan was not calm anymore. He pulled Si Yao and said seriously:

"Yaoyao, you know that's not what I meant..."

Si Yao nodded quickly: "I know, I understand, I just said it, don't think too much."

Just then, Shadow Blade and Blue Shadow came in. Seeing that something seemed to be wrong between the two people, they hesitated for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan glared at him, and Ying Ren lowered his head and replied:

"Master, Grand Tutor Ouyang has applied for sick leave, saying that he has caught a cold and needs to rest for a few days."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Alright, send the memorial to His Majesty for his review."

"Yes."

On this side, Lan Ying spoke to Si Yao:

"Miss, everything you arranged is ready."

Si Yao's eyes flashed with joy: "It's ready so soon?"

"Yes, would you like to go and have a look?"

"Okay, Lu Yuan, let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

Si Yao changed her clothes excitedly. She couldn't wait any longer...

.........

"How did you get here?"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder, this was the house he begged from Xiao Chen to build a national master's mansion for Si Yao. He asked someone to draw the blueprint and gave it to her for review. Later, she said she wanted to design it, so he didn't interfere anymore.

"Go in and have a look."

Si Yao's eyes sparkled with joy. This was her gift to Nan Liang...

The door slowly opens, and the first thing that catches the eye is a towering, majestic stone statue - Confucius. He has a kind face and deep eyes, as if he is examining this land that is about to give birth to countless wisdom and dreams in a detached manner.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Yuan's eyes, but was immediately replaced by understanding and appreciation. He knew that this must be Si Yao's ingenuity. She could always give people the deepest touches and surprises inadvertently.

The bluestone-paved road extends from the front of the courtyard like two winding rivers, cleverly dividing the space into two independent yet interconnected areas.

On both sides of the road, there are carefully designed signposts with "Sixian Hall" and "Innovation Institute" engraved in simple and elegant fonts. The rockery is scattered in an orderly manner, and there are dots of moss between the cracks in the stones, as if it were green ink inadvertently scattered by nature.

"How is it here?"

Si Yao asked softly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Very novel, unexpected... good."

Lu Yuan looked at the scenery before him, his heart filled with indescribable admiration.

This design is neither the majestic Imperial Master's Mansion in the traditional sense, nor the gentle and graceful garden. It is more like...

"It's the academy, Lu Yuan."

Si Yao's voice was gentle but firm. She turned around, her eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.

“I redesigned this place in the hope of sharing my philosophy and knowledge with everyone who is eager to learn and grow. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. I hope to be the guide who leads them to explore the unknown and enlighten their wisdom.”

When Lu Yuan heard this, his eyes moved slightly and complicated emotions surged in his heart.

The knowledge and skills she possessed were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. These were her strengths, and one could even say they were her life-saving tools!

Now, she was willing to give them away selflessly. His broad-mindedness and generosity moved and worried him.

"Will this...have any effect on you?"

Lu Yuan finally couldn't help but ask about the doubts in his heart.

He was afraid that such selfless sharing would expose her to more dangers. He would take care of human affairs, but when it came to things beyond the ordinary human realm, he seemed to be unable to do so!

Si Yao smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with confidence and composure.

"Lu Yuan, don't worry, I know what I am doing. As long as I can see more people benefit from my efforts, then everything I do will be worth it."

Fortunately, she traveled through time and space, so she wanted to leave something useful for the people of this dynasty.

She printed out a large number of books in the space system, rebound them, and interspersed them with pictures. Even illiterate people could understand the content just by looking and guessing.

There are so many smart people in this world. If we provide them with an idea, there will be unexpected results...

At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to be shocked by an invisible force!

For the first time, he saw so clearly that admirable fearlessness in a woman.

Yes, she is fearless!

In comparison, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Although he had experienced many things in life and had developed a strong heart, in front of Si Yao, he felt that all his past glory and suffering seemed so insignificant.

The calmness and composure she displayed was something he could never achieve.

Si Yao pushed open the brand new door of Sixian Hall. The sound of the door hinges turning gently was particularly clear in this quiet space.

The door slowly opened, and a rich and deep scent of ink wafted in, instantly filling the entire space.

A flash of shock passed through Lu Yuan's eyes. How could there be so many books in such a short time?

What comes into view is a huge, magnificent and solemn bookshelf, which almost occupies the entire Sixian Hall.

The bookshelf is densely packed with all kinds of books, each one is brand new and bright.

"Master, the Imperial Master."

Lu Yuan looked up and saw Yingyue and Yinghan, who had been in charge of the construction of the Imperial Master's Mansion. They had both looked much darker after not seeing each other for many days.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shadow Blade. Give them a raise in monthly silver this month."

After hearing this, Ying Han hesitated to speak. Lu Yuan frowned slightly:

"Why, is there something different?"

Ying Han glanced at Si Yao, lowered his head slightly and replied:

"The Imperial Master is kind-hearted and has taught me a skill to earn money."

Lu Yuan became interested when he heard this and asked immediately:

"tell me the story."
