Wang Yingluo was not a person who dedicated herself selflessly.
The reason she was willing to help Jun Yuyan with these inventions was firstly, to gain his greater appreciation and eventually make people like Lou Zixi submit to her, and secondly, for fame and profit.
Her background, destined her future status to be a matter of great controversy.
In order to successfully become the Empress without opposition from the court officials, it was natural that she must have a good reputation and supporters.
Now that large-scale printing of books had begun, and very soon, quality yet affordable basic textbooks would be put on sale, affordable even to countless poor scholars, which was a tremendously meritorious deed.
If these students found out that the books they were reading in the future were the result of her own inventions, they would surely be grateful to her.
