Gu Chengrui did not continue to speak. Instead, he helped the three little fellows light their lanterns.

When the Grand Empress Dowager saw this, she said, “Zhou Ying is so lucky. It’s rare to see a man with such a good temper and love for children as Lord Gu.”

“It’s alright; the Emperor isn’t bad either.” Zhou Ying replied.

“He’s not bad, but he’s careless and impatient.” The Grand Empress Dowager glanced at Gu Wanning. It was obvious that she was talking to her.

Gu Wanning naturally noticed it, too, and smiled. “The Emperor is just too busy. He’s usually very patient.”

“Alright, alright. You just protect him.” The Grand Empress Dowager smiled.

The Emperor and Old General Zhou were seriously considering Gu Chengrui’s words.

Especially the Emperor. Although he couldn’t completely understand the meaning behind his words, he deeply understood agriculture.

The Emperor nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. There was indeed a need for martial examinations.

It was just that he had to control the quota well. Moreover, all aspects of this new martial subject had to be fleshed out. Otherwise, if he nurtured a spy, it would be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

He replied, “We’ll discuss it at the morning court session tomorrow. If this notion is passed, we’ll implement it immediately. Students might even be able to start attending this subject next year.”

General Zhou nodded and did not say anything else.

The Emperor had just picked up his teacup and was about to drink tea when a burst of cheers sounded from outside.

“Wanning, what are they doing outside? It’s so lively.” He looked at Gu Wanning, who was leaning against the window..
