Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

These days, Yanjing is bustling with people coming and going, and even the smiles on the faces of the vendors are brighter.

The arrival of these students allows them to earn some money and live a better life.

For a time, almost all the inns were full, which made the people of Yanjing amazed. It was the first time they had seen such a scene.

When the emperor heard the news, he was stunned for a moment. There were a lot more people than he had expected.

Lin Shu was not surprised.

[This is nothing. When transportation is convenient in the future, there will be crowds of people everywhere during holidays, making it hard to breathe. ]

Lin Shu thought it was boring, so he turned over and lay on the bed with his little butt sticking up.

He raised his upper body and tried to climb up two steps.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't move at all. His arms went limp and he fell on the bed with a plop.

The emperor looked at Lin Shu's little appearance, feeling both distressed and amused. He held her in his arms and rubbed her little head.

"You are in a hurry. It is not time to crawl yet. Just lie down obediently. After a while, you will be able to practice sitting properly."

When Lin Shu heard this, he felt a little discouraged and started crying out of grievance.

[When can I eat and walk on my own?]

The emperor comforted Lin Shu, "All right, all right, Fubao, be good. The ministers will be here soon, and then everyone will see you crying."

When Lin Shu heard this, he silently grabbed the emperor's clothes, nodded his head, and wiped his tears with the emperor's clothes.

[I've cleaned it up, so I won't embarrass Daddy. ]

The emperor's mouth twitched. This girl was becoming more and more naughty.

You won't be embarrassed, let me, your father, be embarrassed.

The emperor patted Lin Shu's little butt and put her on the small bed.

He said helplessly, "Thanks to our Fubao, Daddy, I'm going to change my clothes."

The emperor called a wet nurse to look after Lin Shu before leaving the imperial study to change his clothes.

Just as the emperor was leaving, the ministers had already arrived outside the door one after another.

They were talking in low voices.

Lin Shu patted the wet nurse, pointed to the door, and asked the wet nurse to carry her to the door to eavesdrop.

The wet nurse carried Lin Shu to the door, and the sounds outside were indeed much clearer.

"Which one of your family are you going to send to His Majesty's Academy?"

"Everyone knows it, but you're the only one asking."

"Tsk, your guy can bring you news? He must be a fool."

"You old thing, don't go too far."

……

Lin Shu listened for a while and found that there was no new information, so he ordered the wet nurse to take her back.

[It’s boring. They just send useless children here. These fathers already knew it.]

Wei Zhong, who was outside the door, heard Lin Shu's thoughts and suddenly felt guilty.

His grandson had been a little undisciplined by someone else, so he planned to send him to a school to train him.

He is different from these people. After all, this is his only child. He sent it here because he trusts Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not misunderstand him.

Lin Shu had no idea what Wei Zhong was thinking. He just lay obediently on the bed, waiting for the emperor to come back.

When the emperor came back, he saw Lin Shu smiling at him obediently.

However, Lin Shu's inner thoughts were not as obedient as they appeared.

[Dad, I've overheard what the people outside the door are saying. They're all old bastards, and they're planning to send the bad boys from home to cause trouble.]

[Daddy must collect more tuition fees! ]

The emperor smiled slightly and touched Lin Shu's little head. He probably guessed that tuition fee meant supplementary payment.

This word is quite interesting, the emperor thought as he sat down.

The ministers who followed the emperor in stopped one after another, while Wei Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his head.

The little princess actually complained to the emperor in front of them, which made him feel even more guilty.

The emperor asked them what was the matter with a smile.

The ministers started talking at once, all of them just wanted to show their support to the emperor and were willing to send their own children.

The emperor pretended not to know and deliberately pointed out a few people whose sons were very outstanding and said, "The one sent here is your son."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across those people's faces. "It's another kid in the family."

The emperor looked at them with a half-smile, which made them feel a little guilty.

After a long time, the emperor finally spoke.

"You know what the children you sent here look like."

"You can't teach these children well, I am willing to find someone to teach them for you."

“That’s the cost…”

The emperor curled the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes, picked up the cup and took a sip.

The ministers standing below looked at each other.

They didn't expect that the emperor would not even pretend, but agreed immediately and asked for money directly.

This is totally different from what they thought!

They could only swallow the words they were about to use to persuade the emperor to accept it, and their faces looked a little ugly.

It was they who requested this, and now that Your Majesty has agreed, it is reasonable for him to ask for more tuition.

Now I can only bite the bullet and make an offer.

Wei Zhong huddled in silence, staring at Lin Shu secretly.

He was an honest official, how could he have so much money? At the same time, he felt embarrassed to ask the emperor for money.

It's obvious that asking for money was done by Lin Shu, which is too cheap.

Standing with him in silence was Sun Wenyu, who had broken his head because of his daughter.

Wei Zhong looked at Sun Wenyou in confusion. What was this guy doing here? Aren't his children all grown up? They don't seem to be old enough to go to school.

Lin Shu was as puzzled as Wei Zhong. He was deeply impressed by the fact that Sun Wenyou was willing to hurt himself to protect his daughter, so he remembered the news about his family relatively clearly.

[Is there anyone in Sun Wenyou's family who wants to go to school? ]

The emperor heard Lin Shu's thoughts and also noticed Sun Wenyu, oh, and Wei Zhong, who was standing in the corner with his neck shrunk and a guilty look on his face.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh; it was the first time he saw Wei Zhong, who had always been outspoken, in this state.

After he finalized the tuition fees for the ministers' children, he turned his attention to the two people standing in the corner.

The two people in the corner froze, and they both gave in to each other, letting the other speak first.

The emperor raised his chin towards Wei Zhong and said, "Wei Qing usually speaks his mind, but today he seems to be timid."

Wei Zhong looked a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, my grandson is also of the right age, and I would like to send him to study in your academy."

Wei Zhong paused at this point, looking as if he was unable to continue speaking, his face flushed red.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out the words from his throat: "I don't have that much money."

The ministers around him looked at the embarrassed Wei Zhong with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

The emperor's eyes darkened, because he knew that Wei Zhong had always been upright.

Now Wei Zhong could not come up with so much money, but it was easy for those ministers to come up with that much money.

Not only did those ministers not reflect on themselves, but they looked down on Wei Zhong with sarcasm on their faces.

It's really ridiculous.

The emperor glanced at the ministers and was about to speak when he heard Wei Zhong say, "Your Majesty, please deduct the cost of the tuition from my monthly salary."
