Although the Queen Mother had never read the simplified Chinese characters, she understood the characters written by Jing'er.

Previously, King Rui presented the emperor with a booklet, saying that the simplified Chinese characters written by Princess Rui were easy to write and memorize. The emperor also asked the Hanlin Academy to compile a comparison book, which would be implemented nationwide. There is no need to ask about the characters written by Jing'er, which is the simplified Chinese characters written by Princess Rui.

"Princess Rui, did you teach this word written by Jing'er?" The empress dowager asked again.

Xia Yue'er couldn't tell whether the empress dowager was happy or unhappy, so she answered cautiously: "Report to the empress dowager, it's my teaching."

"I heard that you have a set of simplified Chinese characters, and you are going to write them all and compile them into a book. The emperor also praised the simplified Chinese characters and intends to be promoted nationwide. The Ai family is old and is slow to know the latest news. But, these words are the original ones, which are passed down to us by our ancestors, and you cannot lose them!"

Judging from the empress dowager's meaning, she was not very opposed to the promotion of simplified Chinese characters, but emphasized that traditional Chinese characters should not be abandoned.

"Yes, what the Empress Dowager taught me." Xia Yue'er dared not speak much.

In Jing'er's study, the question of whether to learn simplified or traditional Chinese characters has not been solved.

The Empress Dowager called everyone over and said that before the complete version of the traditional and simplified font comparison, do not learn simplified fonts, but continue to learn traditional fonts.

After hearing what the empress dowager said, several teachers felt relieved. Although Jing'er wanted to object, it would be invalid if she objected in front of the empress dowager. She had to learn to write traditional Chinese characters like a few princes.

The next day, the emperor summoned Zhongli Ruixuan and Xia Yue'er into the imperial study and talked about writing a comparison book of traditional and simplified fonts.

Zhongli Ruixuan acted as if he was not concerned about his own affairs, saying that the simplified Chinese characters were just his princess, and the emperor told Xia Yue'er directly that it was just that. How to arrange it depends on Xia Yue'er's opinion.

The emperor turned to Xia Yueer: "Princess Rui, I ordered the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy to help you write simplified Chinese characters and give you half a year to complete them. How about it?"

Xia Yue'er did not answer the emperor's question and asked back: "How much is the monthly salary of the emperor, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy?"

The emperor didn't expect Xia Yueer to ask this suddenly. After thinking about it, he still answered, and then asked: "Why is Princess Rui interested in the salary of the Grand Secretary? Could it be?"

Xia Yue'er also said: "Your Majesty, you can work hard for the Ruolan Dynasty and write a comparison book in traditional and simple fonts. But this is not a simple thing, it can be completed in a few days. You also said that you have to give half a year to complete it. Your Majesty, think about it, in the past six months, I have been writing every day, and I can't do anything. I have to work harder and more effort, and I will die thousands of brain cells! This is a brain labor work, a major project. The great scholars of the Hanlin Academy work with their salary every month. I can't work in vain, right? Your Majesty, more or less, you have to give me some labor fees. It's not that I'm greedy or something, but if you do it, if you spend so long and so hard work, and you don't get anything, are you motivated to do it?"

"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed. After hearing Xia Yue'er said so much, he was just the same. He asked him if he wanted money, he would do it if he gave it. If he didn't give it, he would not guarantee his good or bad work. In short, he could not do it for nothing. "Princess Rui, of course I will not let you do it for nothing. If you want any reward, just speak up."

After the emperor said this, Xia Yue'er naturally was not polite: "Emperor, the reward is all false, but real money and silver are still real! You can reward me with ten thousand and tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I will be satisfied! For the emperor, this little silver is just a little bit of fingernails! The emperor's great kindness is praised for all generations!"

Zhongli Ruixuan looked at Xia Yue'er and held back his smile. This little girl said tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is quite a lot! What a great kindness, praise for all generations, and even flattering the emperor!

Seeing Xia Yue'er's words so straightforward, Rui Wang Zhongli Ruixuan was also present. Can the emperor be a petty family and not rewarded? If he doesn't give up, he is still unpredictable. So he opened his mouth and said that he would give Xia Yue'er a hundred thousand taels of silver. After completing the book, he would give another reward.

Xia Yue'er was afraid that the emperor would repent, so she quickly gave a gift. After thanking her, she said, "Your Majesty, this silver is not transformed. It was exchanged for the hard work of the people. The emperor's silver should also be used to seek benefits for the people. This way, I will give you a half discount. I will only get 50,000 taels of silver for this reward."

"Haha! Then this matter is decided!" The emperor laughed again. Princess Rui is really interesting. She will give her a reward and she will give her a discount!

Back then, she first went to the palace to ask for a meeting, begging him to take back the imperial edict, and said she dared to say in person that the emperor was not kind and that courage, even a man, no one dared to do this! Later, she came to ask for a divorce letter and said that she wanted to divorce King Rui, which was not something ordinary women dared to do.

Furthermore, I heard that before she married King Rui, she was a foolish and stupid beggar. How could she write simplified Chinese? I heard that her mind was pretending to be a strange thing, and those things were unheard of by the world.

It seems that Princess Rui is indeed not an ordinary woman. Everyone says she is a magical woman, and it is true!

"Your Majesty, I have a small request!" Xia Yue'er was not satisfied with the reward.

The emperor suddenly became interested in this interesting Princess Rui and asked her with a smile: "Princess Rui has any other requirements, even if it comes."

Xia Yue'er's request was to write simplified Chinese characters in the place where the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy wanted to help her in the Ruiwang Mansion. She didn't want to run around all day.

This request is nothing, and the emperor agreed without thinking.

After Xia Yue'er and Zhongli Ruixuan left, the emperor immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering Xia Yue'er to be responsible for compiling traditional and simplified font comparison books, with the assistance of Cheng Ziyi, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and his subordinate civil servants.

This imperial edict is just a serious book editing, no longer the same as before.

Xia Yue'er couldn't help but feel a little flutter when she, a slutty woman, could add a strong touch to the history of this world.

On the way back home, Zhongli Ruixuan couldn't help but tease: "Madam, you have a heavy responsibility now, and the people across the country are watching you!"

After saying this, Xia Yue'er fell from the floating clouds. This is a huge project. If it cannot be completed, will she be beheaded: "My husband, what should I do if I can't finish it? Will she be beheaded by the emperor?"
Chapter completed!
