Thus, Lin Xiaoyue was at peace.
She might as well close her eyes and rest in the room during the day.
At the same time, the Sixth Princess finally moved into the Imperial Advisor’s residence and moved into the Brocade Pavilion, which was used to receive guests.
In the past, when the Sixth Princess accompanied the Emperor or came to the Imperial Advisor’s residence alone, she also stayed in the Brocade Pavilion. She did not have any thoughts about this.
However, just as she moved in, she unexpectedly found out that a Madam Li was moving into the plum garden.
When she learned that Madam Li was the Arithmetic Master recommended by Liang Chengcai and her father, the Sixth Princess’s curiosity was quickly piqued.
Liang Chengcai was only the Imperial Advisor’s disciple, so he naturally didn’t dare to make the decision to arrange for Madam Li to stay in the plum garden.
The only explanation was that the Imperial Advisor had agreed to Liang Chengcai’s arrangement.
The plum garden was the courtyard closest to the Imperial Advisor.
Even the Emperor had never lived there before.
What was so special about this Madam Li? The Imperial Advisor actually liked her that much.
At the thought of this, a hint of jealousy flashed in the Sixth Princess’s eyes. “Follow me to the plum garden!” Then, she said to the two servant girls who were busy.
The servant girls quickly stopped what they were doing and bowed.
Then, they followed their mistress to the plum garden.
Along the way, the servants of the Imperial Advisor’s Residence greeted the Sixth Princess when they saw her.
The Sixth Princess pretended not to see them and went straight to the plum garden.
She had lived in the Imperial Advisor’s residence for a while before and knew the layout of the residence. Naturally, she also knew how to get to the plum garden.
A servant saw that the sixth princess was going in the wrong direction and realized that something was wrong. He ran to inform Butler Liu.
Meanwhile, in the plum garden.
Lin Xiaoyue was already asleep.
In the outer room, only Zhao Shanshan was left flipping through the arithmetic books that the Imperial Advisor had sent over.
Since she started helping manage Lin Xiaoyue’s business, Zhao Shanshan realized that she was lacking in her studies. She had been working and learning at the same time.
But even so, she still felt that it was a little difficult for her to deal with it many times.
Therefore, when she was free, she would read some books and learn some things to improve herself.
If she encountered something she didn’t know, she would consult General Manager Fang and the others.
She couldn’t deal with business matters this time around.
Now that there was a book to read, and it was a book from the Imperial Advisor’s residence, she naturally could not miss the opportunity.
Zhao Shanshan was reading a book when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Just as she was about to get up to see who it was.
She saw a beautiful woman dressed in palace robes appear at the door. Behind the woman were two maidservants with an imposing aura.
The beautiful woman only stared at her, but the two servant girls looked at her with extremely unfriendly eyes.
Zhao Shanshan was about to ask who it was.
The beautiful woman opposite her spoke first.
“Are you Mrs. Li?”
Zhao Shanshan was stunned.
She thought to herself, so she was looking for their young miss.
Just as she was about to inform the other party that their young miss was resting, the other party spoke before her again.
“It doesn’t look like much.”
Zhao Shanshan frowned.
Then, she saw the beautiful woman walking towards her.
Then, she sat down beside her.
She casually flipped through the book she had just read.
“Oh, they’re all math books. Some of them are even the only ones in the collection.” After flipping through a few books, to Zhao Shanshan’s surprise, a hint of surprise appeared in the beautiful woman’s eyes.
“These books are all yours?” Then, the beautiful woman asked Zhao Shanshan excitedly.
She was different from other women nowadays. She did not like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she had a special liking for the way of arithmetic.
This was also the reason why she wanted to cling onto the Imperial Advisor and become the Imperial Preceptor’s disciple.
This was because he was not only proficient in arithmetic, but he had also just taken in a disciple who was proficient in arithmetic. It was Liang Chengcai from the Ministry of Finance.
She had seen Liang Chengcai before.
He was indeed capable, but she felt that her talent and strength were not inferior to this person.
She felt that it was because of her identity as a woman that she was rejected. How could she accept this?
Now, in the face of Chu Jin’s challenge, Liang Chengcai actually recommended a woman to take on the important role, claiming that this Madam Li would definitely be able to defeat Chu Jin’s Arithmetic Master.
This naturally made her curious and somewhat unconvinced.
Other than her, was there anyone else who was so proficient in arithmetic among the women?
Now that she knew that this woman had also come to the Imperial Advisor’s residence and had even stayed in the plum garden next to the Imperial Advisor’s courtyard, how could she sit still?
