Chapter 696, a side story of "Scarlet Heart"

"Have you heard? The newly unearthed tomb is actually that of Prince Fushuo!" A man wearing a white T-shirt and gold-rimmed glasses excitedly said to his classmate next to him.

"Haha, of course I've heard about it. The higher-ups even found Prince Fushuo's log. Everyone originally thought it would record his great achievements such as how he strengthened the Qing Dynasty, trampled Japan, and bombarded the United States, but the result was unexpected..." Another young man wearing a T-shirt chimed in.

"Yes, who would have thought that the thick diary was mostly filled with complaints about his own father—Prince Fu! Of the 450 pages in the book, a full 445 pages are about this!" The first man couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft... That's right, I never expected Prince Fu to be such a jealous person. He's even jealous of his own son in order to win the Princess's attention..." The second man laughed along.

Just then, a girl with short, ear-length hair sitting not far away heard their conversation, stopped writing, and looked up.

Her large, watery eyes sparkled with curiosity and longing. Her hands unconsciously cupped her cheeks, as if she were lost in some beautiful fantasy: "Wow, a lifetime of one love, how enviable! Prince Fu is so handsome and so devoted; even in our modern society, such a man would be extremely rare..."

A young man with a face full of acne, growing like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, smirked slightly and twitched to one side, letting out a disdainful "tsk": "Hmph, the one who should be truly envied is that Prince Fu, right? He's a complete master of living off women, you could say he's the pioneer of this! Even the cowpox vaccine used to prevent smallpox was provided by his princess."

At this point, the boy paused for a moment, then continued, "And the methods for making things like cement and glass also came from this princess! Not only that, but everyday items like soap, as well as weapons and equipment like guns and cannons, all originated from the hands of Prince Fu's wife—Dong E Lin Jiu!"

The boy, his face full of admiration and envy, said, "Faced with such a powerful princess who's practically cheating, even a pig standing there would probably soar to the heavens! If it were me, I definitely could do it too!"

Upon hearing these remarks, the girl with short, ear-length hair standing to the side gave a disdainful look, accompanied by a mocking laugh.

She carefully scanned the acne-covered boy from head to toe, then gently shook her head and said, "Come on, she cares about looks! With your appearance... forget it! The princess wouldn't even look at you!"

The acne-ridden boy, his face flushed with embarrassment, retorted angrily, "You...you're just being unreasonable!"

"Class begins!" The old history professor smiled as he watched the students argue.

"I heard everyone's discussion just now. So, our class today is about the Yongzheng period, when the country ended its closed-door policy, opened the customs, and began the countdown to unification. I believe everyone knows who played an important role in this, right?" The old professor asked with a smile and squinted his eyes.

"Dong E Lin Jiu," "Princess Consort of Prince Fu,"... the students shouted.

"Indeed, it is Princess Dong E Lin Jiu of Prince Fu. It seems everyone has done their homework!" The old professor looked at his youthful students with great satisfaction.

Peace and tranquility prevail!
