SBCEJM -Chapter 133 A Successful “Fundraising” at Court! The Princess Becomes School Principal, Ministers Rush to Donate

The early morning mist still lingered over the Feng Residence.

Feng Zexuan was drinking porridge when the system suddenly exploded in excitement inside her mind.

【Host! Last night’s move was explosive in effect!】

【Those two didn’t sleep all night—they’re now loudly reciting the “Male Virtue Guidelines”!】

【So loud that people three streets away can hear it! Everyone who got woken up is swearing under their blankets!】

Feng Zexuan nearly choked on her porridge imagining the scene.

The system continued reporting:

【Lu Chengbao plans to write the entire thing and paste it above his bed, saying it’ll constantly remind him not to let you steal his soul again!】

【Qian Xiaofu is even more extreme! He’s having all the servants in the residence copy it while he reads aloud, calling it “mutual supervision and collective improvement”!】

Feng Zexuan smiled in satisfaction.

【Hahaha, looks like last night’s “immersive education” really worked!】

【Host, that giant spider appearance of yours—I still get goosebumps thinking about it!】

Feng Zexuan felt quite pleased with herself.

【Dealing with unruly kids can’t be done by reasoning alone! Sometimes a bit of “fear-based education” works surprisingly well!】

Across from her, Feng Huai’an and Feng Zekai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as they listened to her thoughts.

Feng Huai’an shook his head helplessly, thinking his daughter’s methods were getting more and more “sophisticated.”

Feng Zekai, on the other hand, silently gave his sister a thumbs-up in his mind while mourning those two unlucky boys for three seconds.

The Imperial Court

At dawn in the Golden Throne Hall, Princess Third, Xiao Mingyue entered the court for the first time in a deep red official robe.

Her steps were steady, posture upright, her heroic aura making all ministers glance at her repeatedly.

Emperor Xiao Juechen looked at his daughter with undisguised pride.

Halfway through the court discussion, the emperor asked about the progress of the women’s academy.

Feng Zexuan stood and reported:

“Your Majesty, the location has been selected in the East City Academy Street. Recruitment of teachers is underway, and it can open in half a month.”

“This subject also has a bold proposal…”

She paused slightly.

The emperor raised a brow. “Speak.”

“Princess Third is intelligent, widely read, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I request she serve as the honorary principal of the women’s academy, to set an example for women of the world!”

The hall immediately erupted in discussion.

Letting a royal princess appear in public like this—was it appropriate?

An old minister was about to object: “Her Highness is of noble birth, how could she—”

But Princess Mingyue stepped forward immediately.

“Father, I am willing!”

She swept her gaze across the hall, voice clear:

“Since Father has allowed me to attend court, I should contribute to the women of the world!”

“The academy should not only teach knowledge, but also help women understand their own worth! Though I am not highly learned, I am willing to grow alongside all women!”

Her words were composed, insightful, and full of dignity. The ministers were all impressed.

Even the old minister who had opposed her earlier nodded in approval.

【Damn! The princess has more awareness than those old fossils!】

【Truly a heroine among women!】

Emperor Xiao Juechen waved his hand. “Good! Mingyue shall be the honorary principal. It is decided!”

At that moment, Minister Lu Wenbin suddenly knelt.

“Your Majesty, I have a request!”

“Speak.”

“My daughter Lu Wan’er is intelligent and eager to learn. I beg permission for her to join the women’s academy!”

The court was stunned.

Yesterday he had opposed women attending court—yet today he was volunteering his own daughter?

Even Feng Zexuan was momentarily surprised.

【What’s going on? He’s reserving a spot already?】

The system explained:

【After waking up, Lu Wan’er went to her father and said she wanted to study like her brothers.】

【When Lu Wenbin learned about the academy, he immediately asked her. She agreed without hesitation, saying she wanted to study hard and become as successful as the Northern Frontier King in the future!】

Feng Zexuan felt warmth in her heart.

【This child finally understands things! Last night’s “treatment” really worked!】

The emperor was delighted. “Granted!”

Once that was said, more than a dozen officials immediately stepped forward.

“My daughter also wants to enroll!”

“My niece is very smart and suitable!”

“My sister’s child also wishes to study!”

Even those who had opposed the academy earlier now rushed to secure spots.

Feng Zexuan watched the chaotic scene with emotion.

【The academy hasn’t even opened and there’s already a queue!】

【They weren’t this active before—typical officials!】

The emperor turned to Feng Zexuan.

“General Northern Frontier, what do you think?”

She looked troubled.

“Your Majesty, while the site is ready, we still need money for repairs, books, teachers, desks, and supplies…”

She hesitated dramatically.

The ministers immediately understood:

She was asking for donations.

For their daughters’ futures, they had no choice.

The first to step up was a Ministry of Revenue official.

“I donate one thousand taels!”

Then came the flood.

“Eight hundred!”

“Two thousand!”

“Three hundred!”

Even those with modest salaries joined in.

Both Lu Wenbin and Qian Huaide, recently punished with salary cuts, still gritted their teeth and donated five hundred taels each.

Feng Zexuan was secretly delighted.

【Hahaha! They’re finally spending for their daughters!】

【Startup funds secured! My fundraising skill is maxed out!】

The emperor also declared:

“I contribute ten thousand taels! Let the world see how much the Great Xia values women’s education!”

Princess Mingyue followed:

“I donate three thousand from my private funds!”

The Crown Prince added:

“Five thousand!”

The Third Prince reluctantly followed:

“…Three thousand!”

Feng Zexuan almost laughed out loud.

【Perfect! Funding solved completely!】

After the Court, Princess Mingyue quickly caught up with Feng Zexuan.

“General Northern Frontier!”

“Your Highness.”

“Thank you for speaking for me last time, allowing me to attend court.”

“And thank you for appointing me as principal!”

“I won’t let you down!”

Feng Zexuan waved it off.

“You deserve it. Your talent should shine.”

Mingyue clenched her fist.

“I will make the academy successful and show those who look down on women that we can hold up half the sky!”

【I like this energy.】

【With her as principal, the academy will definitely thrive.】

As Mingyue left, Feng Zexuan felt satisfied.

The system suddenly reported:

【Host, the academy is going to explode in popularity!】

【Even palace maids are asking about it!】

Feng Zexuan froze.

【Even palace maids want to study?】

【Not just maids—Even the Empress has secretly inquired!】

She was stunned.

The influence of this academy… was far greater than she imagined.
