With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beauti...
Chapter 696: Bringing Honor and Reputation to Women All Over the World
"Impossible!" Doctor Lin said without hesitation, "They studied hard for over ten years, how could they not even pass the exam against a woman?"
"If that's the case, then what is Doctor Lin afraid of?" Xiao Jiuyue smiled at Doctor Lin and said, "Giving women a chance to take the imperial examinations will also inspire students all over the world to strive for excellence, so that in the future, even women won't be able to pass the exams."
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is to select talents for the court. If women take the imperial examination, it will make students more eager to study." Xiao Jiuyue asked with a smile, "Is Your Majesty right?"
"Yes." Jun Lie nodded without hesitation.
Doctor Lin's eyes twitched. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, there was only the queen in the harem, and there was a consensus in the court that the emperor doted on the queen very much.
Fortunately, the queen gave birth to four children for the royal family, two princes, and never interfered in politics. She established female schools and female doctors, and also tried to teach people how to increase grain production and provide free medical treatment, all for the benefit of the people...
Everyone turned a blind eye to such a good queen, considering the new emperor's special physical illness.
There was really someone who wanted to send his daughter into the harem, but the new emperor directly asked him to confer the title of princess on her and to marry her off to a foreign emperor. Now, no one dared to say anything.
Knowing is one thing, but now looking at the new emperor in the court, who always has a cold face, and the way he looks at the queen, that kind of doting is simply unbearable to watch!
"Doctor Lin, the Queen is right. If you study hard for more than ten years, you might as well be raised as a girl in the harem. Even if such a person enters the court, he will not be able to serve in any important capacity!"
"If all those students can beat the women in the exams, why should we be afraid of women taking the imperial examinations?" The emperor and the empress spoke in unison and decided the matter directly.
Xiao Fu looked at them standing together, and the pride and pride in his heart could not be hidden.
After returning to the harem, Jun Lie held her hand and said, "Yuer, what you said today was very good. It even left Doctor Lin speechless. Can men in the Lin family have children?"
“Hahaha~”
When Jun Lie thought of Doctor Lin's expression, not knowing what to say, he wanted to laugh. He gave Xiao Jiuyue a thumbs up and said, "Well said!"
"That's right. Without women, the family line would be wiped out." Xiao Jiuyue snorted. "Without women, how could he still stand in the court and make a death-defying protest: 'No women allowed to serve as medical officers?'"
"Hmph, when the time comes, let those girls study hard, take the exams seriously, and make it into the top three, so that those boys will be ashamed!" Xiao Jiuyue was still thinking about improving the status of women!
Even if it can't be like that in the future, at least it will give women one more choice!
"How many do you think can pass the exam?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Jun Lie and asked, "Do you think the girls can beat them in the exam?"
"Well, others dare not say it, but if Yue'er takes part in the imperial examination, she will definitely be able to enter the top three!" Jun Lie said with certainty, and there was pride in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue is the most knowledgeable girl he has ever met!
"Of course." Xiao Jiuyue looked proud, then said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't take part in the scientific examination."
"No, I have to go to the girls' school to cheer the girls up and let them do their best." Xiao Jiuyue did what he said. The next day, he took the cook to the girls' school!
"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen."
When Mu Yinqiu saw Xiao Jiuyue, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects. When he saw Xiao Jiuyue again, Mu Yinqiu no longer had the resentment and jealousy he had before, but only deep admiration.
Letting women serve as medical officers and allowing women to take the imperial examinations, such a feat, let alone completing it, Mu Yinqiu didn't even dare to think about it.
When establishing this girls' school, Mu Yinqiu only thought that Xiao Jiuyue might want her daughter to study as well, instead of being blinded by the saying "a girl's virtue lies in her lack of talent".
If it weren't for her, this unfilial daughter, her father would never have come out of the mountains to teach these girls to go to school.
During the three years in the girls' school, Mu Yinqiu was perfunctory at the beginning, but later on, seeing the girls learn better and better, Mu Yinqiu sincerely hoped that these girls could have a good future.
"Stand up." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Mu Yinqiu. "It's been a while. You seem to be feeling better now?"
Mu Yinqiu, who used to be lifeless, now has light in his eyes.
"Thanks to the Empress," Mu Yinqiu said respectfully, "Ever since word spread of women taking the imperial examinations at the girls' school, the female students have been studying very diligently, eager to work themselves to the bone, eager to bring honor to the Empress!"
"No, it's not about bringing glory to me, but to all the women in the world!" Xiao Jiuyue corrected him, "Let the men of the world see that if we women are given a chance, we can be just as good as the men!"
…
After returning from the girls' school, Xiao Jiuyue was in an especially good mood. When she saw Jun Lie, she couldn't wait to share: "In the future, there should be more girls' schools. It would be best if there were one like a women's medical clinic in every prefecture. I think the girls in the girls' schools will definitely shine with their own brilliance."
"It seems that there are some good talents among this group of female students?" Jun Lie understood at once after hearing her words that this trip to the girls' school was not in vain at all.
"Of course. We girls can not only study medicine, but also pursue academic research." Xiao Jiuyue raised her chin proudly. Before going to the girls' school, she was a little worried.
After I went there, I no longer had any worries.
There must be no student who has been praised by Mr. Mu who will fail the exam!
Even if only one person passes the exam, it will set an example for all the women in the world.
"Well, all the women in the world are blessed to have a good queen like Yue'er." Jun Lie said, pinching her soft hand.
"No, it is the blessing of the whole world to have such a good emperor like you."
Xiao Jiuyue grinned and said, "In the future, South Vietnam will prosper, the people will live and work in peace, and the world will be united."
Even though it is difficult to realize universal peace, at least if we keep moving in that direction and keep going forward unwaveringly, it will come true one day.
When the news of the woman taking the imperial examination spread, Queen Xiao Jiuyue's words in the court excited all the women in the world.
"Yu'er, you've made a big promise. What if no one makes the list? What will happen then?" Su Su's first words when she saw Xiao Jiuyue were of worry. "Yu'er, you're the queen."
"Mother, precisely because I'm the queen, I should strive for more and better benefits for women." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, there will definitely be someone on the list. If one of the top three is a woman, it will bring honor and glory to women all over the world!"
"The top three, do you think their more than ten years of hard study were in vain?" Su Su shook her head helplessly after hearing this. She felt that it was possible for a woman to take part in the imperial examination and make the list. After all, if someone like Yue'er had not become the queen, she would definitely have been able to take the imperial examination!
But the top three...
Not to mention those female students who have only studied for three years, even for students who have studied hard for more than ten years, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
