The students looked at each other, each with their own opinions.

They had never seen such an enlightened emperor, nor had they ever thought that women could serve as examiners.

"I hope that you can treat this exam with a normal attitude and demonstrate your true talents and knowledge."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

All the students responded in unison. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to object.

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and turned to look at Song Yuwei. "Let's get started."

Song Yuwei nodded, walked to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "The exam begins!"

The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly opened, and the students filed in, each found their own seat, and began to write furiously.

Li Chengfeng and Song Yuwei stood side by side on the podium, overlooking the entire examination room.

The sunlight shining on them seemed to give them a layer of golden light.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of those old stubborn people gossiping behind your back?"

Song Yuwei asked softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Li Chengfeng had a hint of a smile on his face as he glanced at the dark crowd below, as if admiring his own masterpiece.

"I don't just want a female examiner, I want to completely break this damn rule!"

Song Yuwei was slightly stunned, and then she understood the deep meaning of Li Chengfeng's words.

She turned her head and stared at the young emperor, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Why can't women study? Why can't they become officials? Those scholars have studied their entire lives, but they can't even understand this!"

"Every one of them clings to their ancestral tablets and would rather lock the women up at home to embroider. How many amazing talents have been buried!"

"I want everyone in the world to know that women can study, serve as officials, and stand tall and proud!"

Li Chengfeng seemed to have endless things to say, and told Song Yuwei all his thoughts in one breath.

"Which of the young ladies from wealthy families isn't proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? All they lack is an opportunity, a chance to compete fairly!"

"Children from poor families cannot afford to go to school because they have no money, not because they are girls!"

"I want to change all this, so that all my people, regardless of gender, rich or poor, have the opportunity to study."

Song Yuwei's heart trembled suddenly, and a warm current surged through her body.

She had never imagined that this young emperor had such lofty ambitions in his heart.

While she was moved, she still had some doubts. This was not an easy task.

Although the King of Pingxi had been eliminated, there were still many forces in the court that were not in agreement with the emperor.

Every thing Li Chengfeng has to do is difficult.
