“At that time, I didn’t understand why only boys could take the imperial examination and become the top scholar, but girls couldn’t even get into private schools?
"Later, my mother told me that she had heard that there was a girls' school in the capital that was specifically for girls to learn to read and write.
"Mom also said that she and Dad would work hard to make money and send me to a girls' school. They couldn't let me be delayed because of their incompetence."
After hearing what Qingtian said, the emperor and Prince Rui were quite moved. They never expected that Mrs. Ye could actually say such words.
The emperor thought to himself, no wonder Qingtian still has different feelings towards his parents on both sides.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye really poured all their love into Qingtian.
Prince Rui suddenly realized, "No wonder you kept saying you wanted to go to the girls' school. It turns out there's a reason for that."
"But when I went to the girls' school, it was nothing like what I imagined." Qingtian pouted, "They don't learn to read and write in the girls' school at all..."
Speaking of this, Qingtian suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
It's also Mrs. Ye's fault. Ever since she had this idea, she always mentioned the girls' school in front of Qingtian, which made Qingtian more and more yearning for it. But when he actually saw it, he felt that the gap was too big, and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Prince Rui saw that Qingtian was full of energy at this time, completely different from her listless appearance at home, so he simply encouraged his daughter to speak out her thoughts.
"Then tell me, what do you think girls' schools should be like?"
“I think girls’ schools should allow all kinds of people to come in and learn from the teachers.
There's no need for each person to have a room in those places. Rich people don't even want to live there. They should have multiple beds in one room so that people who live far from home can also have a place to stay."
A large part of what Qingtian said at this time was actually what Mrs. Ye had imagined a girls' school would be like.
She didn't expect that she had just chatted a few words with the child, but Qingtian remembered it and even brought it up in front of the emperor.
Although this idea was very clear and necessary, it was still quite conventional and not entirely Qingtian's own idea, so it did not bring much shock to the emperor.
It seems that Qingtian is still a child and can only think of limited things.
But Qingtian is already very impressive to be able to think of these things through Mrs. Ye’s words.
Just when the emperor and Prince Rui thought Qingtian had finished expressing his thoughts.
Qingtian suddenly continued, "Another thing is, I want to open a reading and literacy class specifically for married women with children."
These words startled the emperor who was just about to leave.
He immediately sat back down and asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
"In fact, I've had this idea for a long time. My mother, second aunt, third aunt... they are all very smart and can do their own things very well.
"But they have never been to school, let alone learned to read.
“When my mother first started preparing banquets for others, she didn’t even know how to write down reservations and had to beg others to write them down on the spot.
“After returning home, she wanted to read it but couldn’t understand it. She had to beg my eldest brother to help her read what was written on the paper.
"So I think the impact of being illiterate on them is really huge. If they could read and write, they would definitely be able to do bigger, better and more things than they are now!"
As Qingtian spoke, he stretched out his arms and made a big circle with all his might.
