Chapter 180

Ji Chunyue and Ji Qiuyue borrowed five hundred taels from a bank in Jing Country, barely enough to open a milk tea shop, and then set off to return to Chu State.

Before leaving, Ji Chunyue blushed as she tossed a jade pendant to Zheng Qiru, saying, "Silly boy, we accept our loss in this bet!"

Zheng Qiru's face turned red, and he stammered, "As soon as I finish the imperial exams, I'll write to you... to both of you..."

"Who wants your letters?" Ji Chunyue's ears burned as she quickly lowered the carriage curtain.

Ji Qiuyue and Yuan covered their mouths, laughing.

Although Zheng Qiru had a flaw on his temple, his features were handsome, and his manner refined.

More importantly, he respected women.

"If the young lady marries such a man in the future, it wouldn't be bad at all."

"Don't talk nonsense! Yuan, shut your mouth!" The carriage departed amidst the sisters' laughter and banter.

Inside the palace, Xiao Yunzhou was rocking Xiao Chuchu's small cradle, frowning in deep thought.

The two beauties from Chu State had left.

With only a seventy percent follow rate, the task of collecting elites remained temporarily incomplete.

He wondered when he would be able to fully win them over.

[Oh my, isn't this just like a story of talented scholars and beautiful ladies?]

Xiao Chuchu, however, wasn't worried at all. She was eagerly watching the live stream of Zheng Qiru reluctantly bidding farewell to the beauties.

She glanced at the shy Ji Chunyue inside the carriage and the hint of sadness in her eyes as she departed, clicking her tongue in amazement.

[I never thought that a man from Jing Country with 99 intelligence, who had never been married, would end up waiting for a beauty from Chu State!]

[They actually have some pink bubbles around them~ It's quite shippable~]

[This silly boy, why doesn't he recite a poem of parting right now?]

[Writing letters later... thinking of her on the first day, thinking of her on the second day, still thinking of her on the third day~ Hey, I'll have to keep an eye on them in the future.]

Xiao Chuchu grinned like a doting aunt, enjoying this budding romance.

[However, Zheng Qiru has nothing to his name right now, just a poor scholar. His appearance is also flawed in others' eyes. I guess Ji Chunyue's grandfather, the Prime Minister of Chu State, won't easily agree to this marriage.]

Xiao Yunzhou listened, dumbfounded.

What did it mean to "ship" a couple?

When did these two become an item?

As the Emperor of Jing Country, he was delighted at the prospect of a Chu State beauty marrying into Jing Country.

It would be even better if all the men in Chu State remained bachelors, haha!

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't stop grinning at the thought.

Let the King of Chu cry!

Let the men of Chu State cry!

Who told them not to have a fairy princess to enlighten them about 'gender equality'?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunzhou was greatly amused. He ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds specifically to support women's schools.
