Chapter 182 Temporary Change
Mr. Fu didn't ask any further questions, but kindly asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes, we need you and Madam Xun to come to the capital with me."
Madam Xun was Mr. Fu's wife.
Zheng Xun had already thought of what she would say to persuade him; if he disagreed, she would kidnap him if she had to.
To her surprise, Mr. Fu agreed without hesitation.
"I'll go back and tell my wife that she's long admired the princess and will be overjoyed to meet you! I'm going back to pack my bags. By the way, when are we leaving?"
As he spoke, he began to take the lead.
Zheng Xun chuckled: "We'll meet at Dean Cen's house in seven days."
Mr. Fu nodded: "I'll go back now and tell my wife the good news."
Zheng Jiu watched him leave them behind and turn to walk away, and said blankly, "Wait, Dean Cen is so clear about separating public and private matters, why did Mr. Fu just leave like that? Doesn't he teach his students?"
"He's old enough to be retired, but he can't stay idle, so Dean Cen reserved a position for him. When Dean Cen is not around or is busy, he's practically half the dean."
Zheng Jiu nodded knowingly.
Zheng Shi then asked, "Princess, are we not going to patrol anymore?"
"Let's send Mr. Fu back first."
Zheng Xun had no intention of explaining in detail to them.
Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered: "Princess?!"
"Alright, finish inspecting this place within two days, and leave tomorrow."
Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi knew that the princess had used the system, which meant that she was about to start reading.
This time, Zheng Xun didn't need anyone to lead the way; he simply walked around the various places symbolically.
After a day, Zheng Xun had a general idea of what to do.
That evening, after the Cen family father and son finished their work, they asked her about her plans.
"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. By the way, Mr. Fu is coming with me."
Dean Cen: ?
No, what exactly did she do? In just a short while, she managed to abduct his vice president?
"Madam Xun also left with me."
Cen Wan: ?
The father and daughter pondered for a moment, and then their faces showed the same seriousness.
Zheng Xun could even guess what they were thinking at that moment: Was this person here to poach their employees?
The two couldn't help but ask, "What conditions did you offer?"
“I didn’t set any conditions,” Zheng Xun smiled slightly. “I simply told him that I am Princess Yuanjia.”
Cen family father and daughter: Oh~ Princess Yuanjia...
Wait! Yuan Jia? What Yuan Jia?
Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi had figured out the princess's personality. She was alright in other respects, but she was a bit pretentious.
She doesn't pretend very obviously; often, on an ordinary day, she'll be speaking in a casual tone, and then suddenly burst out with a thunderclap.
In short, she was happy to see other people's reactions take a long time, and their faces gradually fill with shock.
It's the same this time.
At first, the Cen father and daughter were skeptical, but considering her imposing presence and her authoritative tone, they began to believe her.
Zheng Xun smiled faintly and said, "I have come here today to discuss the imperial examination."
"Enko?!"
"As you may have heard, this time Enko is different from the past. He will not be limited to theoretical discussions, nor will he be limited to those who can only read books."
Zheng Xun slowly walked from Dean Cen's side to Cen Wan's side. Every movement and every word she uttered captivated the hearts of both of them.
"I have come here for inspection purposes, but also because this imperial examination has set requirements regarding the word 'virtue'. I have come for two reasons: first, to organize the initial selection to choose the talented, and second, to conduct a careful evaluation to choose the virtuous."
"Goodbye..."
The father and daughter belatedly realized they should bow, but Zheng Xun waved her hand and continued, "You should have heard about my true nature, and perhaps... you actually have some doubts in your hearts."
The Cen father and daughter lowered their heads guiltily.
It's normal to have doubts...
After all, they had never witnessed Zheng Xun's abilities firsthand.
"However, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm in charge now."
As if she felt the shock she had brought wasn't enough, she pulled out a token from her bosom.
This token was originally prepared by the emperor for her to enter and leave the palace, but its function goes far beyond that.
The Cen family father and daughter did not recognize the token, but they did recognize the insignia on it that belonged to the Dayong royal family.
Nevertheless, their doubts were not completely dispelled.
Zheng Xun was not angry at their doubts; in fact, he felt a sense of relief that this was to be expected.
This is the kind of vigilance a normal person should have. It's the way Mr. Fu believed her that's really strange...
"I know you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter. You know I can calculate..."
So, get ready, she's about to reveal some juicy details.
Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi were visibly more energetic.
