Chapter 701 Finale
"Listen openly." Jun Lie chuckled and sat down with her. After Xiao Jiuyue's renovation, the pavilion is now a good place to cool off. The summer breeze blows, and the coolness from the forest comes in waves, blowing away the summer heat.
"Well, do you think it sounds good?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Jun Lie lowered his head and looked at her expectantly: "It sounds good."
"Look." Xiao Jiuyue pointed at Fu'an Academy and said, "How about building Wangyue Academy on the hill next to Fu'an Academy?"
"Okay." Jun Lie took a look and saw that the two academies, Fu'an Academy and Wangyue Academy, were just separated by two hills. They were facing each other from a distance and did not interfere with each other.
"With Wangyue Academy in Fu'an Village setting a precedent, perhaps Hongdu will become the first place, besides Shengjing, to allow girls to go to school."
Xiao Jiuyue stood at the front of the pavilion, gazing at the future Wangyue Academy. She said, "I hope that the people of the world can live a stable life. I hope that my daughters will not be sold as gifts, married into a husband's family, only to bear children and be trapped in the small backyard for the rest of their lives."
Xiao Jiuyue clasped her hands together and said, "I hope my daughters can also have a different life and world."
Jun Lie looked at the devout Xiao Jiuyue and thought that he must fulfill Xiao Jiuyue's wish in his lifetime.
Xiao Jiuyue was in the village, getting along with people he was familiar with, and several children were covered in mud!
Jun Lie either went to the rice fields to check or gave orders for the construction of Wangyue Academy. Large numbers of officials arrived to participate in the construction of Wangyue Academy.
Not only the villagers of Fu'an Village felt the emperor's attention to Wangyue Academy, but even the officials who came to the village felt the emperor's attention to the queen!
It seems that the rumor in Shengjing that the emperor only favors the queen is true!
At this time, everyone had only one thought in mind, which was to please the queen and get more benefits for Hongdu.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Because of the Wangyue Academy incident, the trip was delayed for three days. During the farewell time, Xiao Jiuyue hugged Aunt Shi, He Lian, and Lei Yan, who already had a younger brother who was a scholar...
"Fu'an Village will get better and better in the future. You are welcome to visit Shengjing when you have time!"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at their familiar faces, with reluctance in their eyes. She was in a depressed mood until she got on the ship.
"Yuer, how about we come again on our way back?" Jun Lie suggested.
"No, the itinerary has been arranged. We must rush back to Shengjing in time from our southern tour. Otherwise, what if we miss the Autumn Examination?" Xiao Jiuyue was still very concerned about the Autumn Examination.
"I believe that among the five girls, one will definitely be on the list!" Jun Lie specially asked someone to bring out the papers of the five girls from the academy. If you hadn't seen the names, you would have thought they were girls, but in fact!
Mixed in with other test papers, these papers are also excellent works.
The most important thing is that many of the viewpoints on the test paper are indeed more novel and detailed than those written by men.
"Really?" Xiao Jiuyue loved this sentence the most. So, she looked at Jun Lie expectantly and asked, "Do you really think so? Are you lying to me?"
"Of course." Jun Lie looked at her happy face and simply told her half of the story about the exam paper. In order to get the truth and hear the ministers' comments, Xiao Jiuyue had to coax some people for a long time...
During the three-month southern tour, the children were like wild horses running wild, and so was Xiao Jiuyue! !
After coming to South Vietnam for so many years, she has been working hard for the Xiao family in Hongdu.
Go to Xiangshui City to redress the Xiao family.
She went to Jiashui City to relieve Jun Lie's siege. She hadn't had a good time traveling in the past few years!
With his lover and children by his side and without any worries, Xiao Jiuyue felt particularly relaxed and happy. If it weren't for the Autumn Examination, Xiao Jiuyue would still be reluctant to return to Beijing.
"Next year, we will go on a southern tour again." Jun Lie looked at her reluctant look and spoke.
"No, this is a waste of money and time. Shouldn't we wait a few years?" Although Xiao Jiuyue wanted to go, Jun Lie was the emperor. Even if the trip was simplified, it would still cost a lot of money.
Gold and silver were minor matters. The most important thing was that Xiao Jiuyue discovered that when Jun Lie went out, the secret guards and bodyguards worked hard. She thought for a moment and said, "Three years, once every three years is about right!"
Three years is enough for her to have expectations and hopes.
"Yuer." Jun Lie looked at her like this, and he understood that she wanted to go, but was worried about mobilizing a large force. He thought: three years is too long, two years, at most two years!
In August, the tense autumn examination arrived.
In order to prevent Mu Zhizhi and the other five girls from being unable to cope in the Imperial Examination Hall, they have been specially trained in the past few months.
Xiao Jiuyue even personally attended the event to encourage them.
There were three exams in nine days, and the results haven't come out yet. Xiao Jiuyue has been eager to ask about them countless times. She wasn't that enthusiastic during the college entrance examination that year.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Someone will definitely pass the exam." Luo Kui comforted Xiao Jiuyue, who had no appetite.
"I think so too." Xiao Jiuyue felt like she was back to the tense moment of checking the college entrance examination scores. Soon, Jun Lie came in happily. The moment she saw his smiling face, Xiao Jiuyue asked happily, "Are the results out?"
"Yes." Jun Lie nodded affirmatively, without keeping anyone in suspense, and said, "Two girls have passed the palace examination!"
"Really?" Xiao Jiuyue really didn't expect there would be two of them. She said excitedly, "It's Mu Zhizhi and Cai Jiao?"
If it is possible, it is only them.
"Yes." Jun Lie nodded and said, "The examiners who graded the papers unanimously selected them." The examiners who could not see the names but only the test papers were silent for a long time after they finished grading the test papers and saw that two girls were selected.
"Great!" Xiao Jiuyue said excitedly: "We won this battle!"
Xiao Jiuyue happily hugged Jun Lie and said, "No matter what ranking they got in the palace examination, these girls have won!"
The fact that they were selected into the palace meant that what she said in the court was verified!
As long as you give girls a chance, they will succeed!
"Yu'er, the Nanyue Dynasty is really going to have female officials!" Jun Lie looked at her smiling face and said, "Soon, your wish will come true."
Xiao Jiuyue's happy smile stretched from ear to ear. "As long as we work together, we will definitely make South Vietnam better and better. The people will live and work in peace and contentment, and even the girls will have better choices."
After the palace examination, the first female official in South Vietnam appeared, shocking the entire South Vietnam!
Mu Zhizhi, who ranked second in the imperial examination, had her examination paper circulated throughout South Vietnam, motivating other scholars to work harder.
Since Jun Lie ascended the throne, the country has enjoyed good weather and good harvests for many years. He makes a southern tour every two years and promotes female doctors, allowing more women to feel the real benefits. When women are sick, they can go to female doctors openly for treatment instead of enduring pain all the time!
Promote girls' education so that girls can also read and learn literacy.
The Queen provides free medical services every year to help the poor people. She changes the methods of growing crops and increasing production time and time again, so that the people no longer have to worry about going hungry. The people all praise the Emperor as a good Emperor and the Queen as a virtuous Queen!
There was only one queen in the entire harem, and the love story between the emperor and the queen became a legend among the people.
Many, many years later, the gray-haired Xiao Jiuyue and Jun Lie sat side by side, watching the setting sun. Xiao Jiuyue looked at Jun Lie, whose face was covered with wrinkles, and said, "Having you in this life is enough for me."
"One life is not enough. I want to stay by your side for all eternity." Jun Lie held her hand. Even though their hands were as withered as sticks and had reached the end of their lives, he still felt that time was short. He said, "I really want to eat another jujube flower cake."
Xiao Jiuyue handed over a jujube flower cake with trembling hands. Just like the jujube flower cake that still had body temperature under the wind and snow that year, it warmed Jun Lie's heart.
The sun will set, life will stop, but love is eternal!
