The next morning, everything was ready.

In front of the mountain gate, after Cheng Jiuyuan, Chu Wan and the other two said goodbye reluctantly, they were about to get on the carriage when they suddenly heard a lot of people calling her name.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and saw a large group of students, both boys and girls, running towards her.

"Cheng Jiuyuan!"

"Cheng Jiuyuan, wait!"

Zhu Jin and the others turned around, and finally some smiles appeared on their gloomy faces.

"They are here to see you off."

Soon Cheng Jiuyuan was surrounded by students.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, I will often send you messages after I return. We should get together more often."

"Go back, don't forget us."

"Ms. Cheng Er, thank you for your care over the past year. Thank you very much."

"If you have any problems in the future, just write to us."

"Now that you're gone, the academy feels meaningless."

"If you leave, no one will stand up for us when we are bullied by those male students..."

The male students who took the lead were Su Nan’s good friends. They immediately protested their injustice upon hearing what was said.

"Who is bullying whom now? The teachers in the academy are all on your side. Even my boss has said not to cause trouble to you female students. Who dares to mess with you?"

After nearly a year of getting along, the male and female students get along more harmoniously and are more like a whole.

Cheng Jiuyuan listened to the bickering of his classmates with a smile on his face, but he felt reluctant in his heart.

All the details of my time in the academy over the past year came to my mind.

From the beginning, female students were divided into two opposing factions, but now they are united as one.

From living a muddled life to being full of fighting spirit now.

From not being able to draw the bow, to now being able to shoot arrows without missing a target...

In the school, they played pranks under the teacher's nose; in the training ground, they ran freely and sweated; in the dormitory, they squeezed on a bed and read storybooks...

So many wonderful memories...

"Thank you all for coming to see me off, and I wish you all can pass the college exam soon. I am just one step ahead, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. Don't be so sad. Morning classes are about to start, so everyone should go home."

"Cheng Jiuyuan, take care!"

"Cheng Jiuyuan, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, don't forget us."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

After saying goodbye, the students walked back in groups of three or four.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Wan and the others and said, "You guys should go back soon. It's too cold at the entrance of the mountain. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"We'll go in after you leave. Get in the car quickly." Yan Yu said.

Cheng Jiuyuan glanced at the academy.

She said goodbye to the headmaster and others early in the morning. Last night, the master said that he would not come to see her off because the master did not like parting.

She suddenly remembered that when she left Gusu seven years ago, her master did not come to see her off.

"Then I'm leaving. Write to me if you have anything."

"Go."

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and waved her hand.

"Come in quickly."

"Take care of yourself."

Under the gaze of Chu Wan and the others, the carriage slowly left.

Jiang Miaoduan walked out from behind the mountain gate, looked at the carriage going away, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the school.

When Cheng Jiuyuan returned to the prime minister's residence, the happiest people were the sisters Mu Jin and Song Lan.

"Miss, please try this Poria cocos cake and lotus cake. This is what I just learned."

"Girl, you are amazing. You passed the test so quickly. Now you don't have to go to the academy."

"The girl has lost weight. I have already notified the kitchen and asked them to make more of the girl's favorite food. The girl needs to be well nourished."

The two girls became more talkative when they were happy.

The table was filled with various pastries and fresh fruits, and soon Cheng Jiuyuan felt full.

"I have to have lunch later, so I really can't use any more."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up, took some gadgets she bought for Cheng Ji, and went to the main courtyard with the two maids, Mu Jin.

In the main courtyard, the wet nurse was holding little Ji, and the maid was putting on a cloak for Lin.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan coming in, Lin said happily: "Hey, I said I would bring Brother Ji to find you, and you came."

After saying this, Lin untied her cloak, reached out to untie her son's small cloak and gave it to the maid, then carried Ji Ge'er to Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Brother Ji, look who's here? Call me sister."

The baby, who was less than half a year old, just opened his big round eyes, drooled and babbled.

Cheng Jiuyuan untied his cloak and handed it to the maid, then reached out to take it with a smile.

She shook the little fat boy and said with a smile, "He's really strong."

"Of course, this kid can eat and sleep well. Don't hold him all the time. Your hands will get sore."

Cheng Jiuyuan held the baby and played with it for a while. Although the child was not her blood relative, she protected him since birth.

He had a good temper, rarely cried, and was chubby and cute. Every time the academy had a holiday, she would buy some small toys in the town at the foot of the mountain and bring them back for him.

Lin's face was full of smiles. She could see that Cheng Jiuyuan's love for this child came from the bottom of her heart.

Cheng Jiuyuan put the little fat boy on the bed and let him play with a stuffed tiger.

"I heard that only three people passed the test this time. Our girl is really promising." Lin said proudly.

She looked at her son who was only blowing bubbles and said, "Brother Ji, you have to be like your sister in the future, okay?"

"Of course, how can my child, Cheng Zongyang, be bad?" Cheng Zongyang came in from outside, looking very proud.

The servant in the house quickly saluted: "Master."

Cheng Jiuyuan bowed and said, "Dad."

Cheng Zongyang handed the cloak to the servant, walked forward and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Very good, this is my Cheng Zongyang's child!"

Today, he was praised by the Emperor for his good parenting skills in the court. After the court was dismissed, he was surrounded by a group of colleagues who asked them about their methods of educating children.

To be honest, he has two sons and two daughters. Apart from their character, the eldest son Changchuan is also well-educated, and the eldest daughter Yunge was also famous in Beijing for her talent.

His second daughter, Jiu Yuan, was the one he took the least care of, but he never expected that she would be so lucky.

Cheng Zongyang was able to rise from a commoner to the position of Prime Minister, so his talent and learning are beyond doubt.

His eyes fell on the chubby little boy on the bed, and he walked forward and picked him up with a smile.

"My son, Cheng Zongyang, is naturally not bad!"

The smile on Lin's lips seemed a little forced.

Cheng Zongyang continued, "My son, you will definitely achieve more than me. When you grow up, I will hire a famous teacher for you. We will be both good at literature and martial arts. We will definitely achieve great things in the future, and be recorded in history and bring honor to our family!"

Lin curled her lips and stepped forward to take her son. "I don't have such big ambitions. I just hope that he can live a safe and peaceful life."

"That's why women are short-sighted. A real man should be brave and daring. My son, Cheng Zongyang..."

Cheng Jiuyuan listened to Cheng Zongyang's bold words and curled up the corners of his mouth.

Dare to fight and take risks?

He can't do it himself.

Cheng Zongyang did climb to the position of prime minister, and it is undeniable that he was indeed knowledgeable and capable.

But in his climb up, he also relied on the financial support from his maternal grandparents at the beginning.

So what if he won three prizes in a row? In the capital city where the emperor's descendants and relatives gathered, a champion without any background could only be a minor official of the sixth or seventh rank at most.

Cheng Zongyang was good at scheming, and he had money flowing like water to pave the way for him, which was why he climbed up so fast.

Seeing how much he had placed on Ji Ge'er, if one day he found out that the child was not his biological child...

Of course, Cheng Jiuyuan would not expose this matter.

Whether it can be discovered depends on God's will.

"Okay, stop teasing Ji Ge'er. Our Yuan'er is the protagonist today. I have already told the kitchen that we should celebrate Yuan'er's arrival at noon."

"Okay, I'm happy today, I have to have a drink..."
