Chapter 17: The Su Family is a Family of Geniuses
Fang Ling, who was very angry at first, became flattered by the system's flattery.
Then he sighed and said, "Actually, it's quite a pity for Prime Minister Su's children. The eldest daughter, Su Shushuang, has a photographic memory and enjoys researching various punishments. She's an excellent crime solver. She's even studied criminal psychology herself. She's a natural investigator. What a pity."
After Fang Lingchu said the words "what a pity", she didn't say anything else.
Prime Minister Su was so anxious that he was dying. What happened to his eldest daughter in the end?
He wanted to go over and ask Fang Lingchu directly, but the emperor looked at him coldly, making him dare not move at all. He could only roar in his heart.
The system reminded again: [This Young Master Su is also very talented.]
After hearing what the system said, Fang Lingchu looked at Mr. Su's information again and clicked his tongue twice.
Her voice was like a stab in Prime Minister Su's heart.
[It really is true that good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for a thousand years. Prime Minister Su, the eldest son, is actually a genius in languages. He only went out to study for a year, but he actually learned the languages of the Xiongnu, Southern Xinjiang, and other small countries almost perfectly. Wow, he is simply a super perfect diplomat!
Not sending him to the Honglu Temple is a complete waste of talent. If only a few people in the Dragon Kingdom knew other languages, they wouldn't be mocked and tricked every time they received foreign envoys. Alas! What a fate! In the end, he was able to write a language record with the help of his wife, but after his death, the Dragon Kingdom fell, and the book's whereabouts are unknown. What a shame.
At first, everyone didn't understand what diplomat meant, but when they heard Fang Lingyan mention the words Honglu Temple, they understood everything.
Especially the Minister of Rites Song Hetong, he understood the importance of this kind of person too well, and he wanted to immediately ask the emperor to let him work in the Ministry of Rites, a genius who could speak multiple languages.
The Minister of Rites looked at Prime Minister Su with eyes that seemed to want to eat him up.
At this time, the system said: [The Su family is indeed a family of geniuses.]
Fang Lingchu thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, His Majesty said I could ask him for a favor. I wonder if it would work if I asked him to allow women to take the imperial examinations. Otherwise, it would be a shame for the two girls of the Su family. Actually, I feel that talent shouldn't be limited by gender. Talent is what matters most."
The system agreed and said, "That's right. I believe in you, the host. You can do it."
Hearing the encouragement from the system, Fang Lingyan persevered in his heart for a moment, then looked up and exchanged glances with Qin Cheng, then backed off again.
When the eldest prince found out that the person who saved him was Miss Su II who was disguised as a man, he was completely dumbfounded, especially since he hurt her later. Woohoo, he really deserves to die.
The eldest prince glanced at Prime Minister Su secretly, but Prime Minister Su didn't even like to look at him. A man who hurt his daughter, no matter if he was a prince or not, should never think of living in peace.
The eldest prince looked at the face of his future father-in-law and felt his long journey to pursue his wife.
The emperor waited for a long time but didn't hear Fang Lingyan stand up, so he asked, "My dear little Fang, I see you have something to say."
Fang Lingchu, whose name was suddenly mentioned, kneeled down reflexively, then looked up at the emperor blankly, mentally asking the system: "What did they just say? Why did His Majesty suddenly mention me?"
The system said: [It seems that the imperial examination is about to begin. They are discussing the topic and who will be the chief examiner.]
Fang Lingchu was a bit speechless and complained: [What does this have to do with me? I'm not going to take the exam. This unlucky emperor just knows how to trick me.]
When Minister Fang heard his daughter's thoughts, he almost fainted.
His legs were so weak that he almost knelt down and apologized with Fang Lingchu.
The emperor looked at Fang Lingchu for a long time without saying anything, then asked again.
Fang Lingchu couldn't express her thoughts: "Your Majesty, can women also have the opportunity to participate in the special examination?"
Before Fang Lingchu could finish her words, Right Prime Minister Qin Qifeng objected: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Lady Fang has already made an exception to attend court. If other women are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, it would be against etiquette, Your Majesty."
Fang Lingchu turned to glance at Prime Minister Qin. He thought to himself, "This is against etiquette. The Minister of Rites hasn't said anything, yet the Prime Minister has spoken out first." Meanwhile, other officials also stepped forward to express their opinions.
When the Minister of Rites heard Fang Lingchu talking about him, it was not right for him to stand up now, nor was it right for him not to stand up.
Another adult stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must not open this door. The ancients said: A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Your Majesty, what do those women know about the affairs of the country?"
This directly touched Fang Lingchu's bottom line, and he immediately started to fight: "According to this lord, what are those empresses who accompanied the emperor to conquer the world in history? What about those princesses who traveled thousands of miles to marry because of the failure of cowardly men like you? I was born and raised by a woman. Without your mother and your wife who sacrificed herself for you, you can't stand here. Tsk."
After Fang Lingchu finished speaking, he glanced at him with disdain, which was a double blow to him both verbally and mentally.
There is no way to refute it, I can only say: [This child is incorrigible.]
If it wasn't in front of the emperor, Fang Lingchu would have wanted to give him a cold look.
He said, "Is there nothing else to say besides this? A man who doesn't care about anything at home except making money, and calls it socializing. You go to brothels and small art galleries for socializing, and you don't care about your children's education. If you succeed, you say you have raised them well, and if you fail, you say it's all because of your wife's failure to raise the children well. Tsk tsk tsk, you take advantage of all the good things, and you are not ungrateful. How did someone like you become an official?"
Then he said to the system in his heart: [Guagua, check him for me.]
Then he continued, "What they meant by that statement is: Even if a woman doesn't have talent, having good moral character is still good. If your teacher knew how you messed up the words, he'd be furious."
“You you you you you…”
Then he fainted.
The emperor glanced at Fang Lingyan with a headache, and said to Eunuch Gao, "Gao De, please ask the imperial physician to carry Lord Li to the side hall so that the imperial physician can take a good look at him."
Then someone came in and carried Mr. Li away.
Everyone else looked at Fang Lingchu in amazement, especially the military generals, who were always scolded by the civil officials for being tongue-tied and unable to speak, but now they said they could.
Fang Lingchu realized that this was the palace, not her previous company. It was over.
Fang Lingchu quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. I just didn't like what he said..."
Fang Lingchu was already terrified and cried loudly: [Ahhhhhhh, His Majesty, why did he call me out for no reason? If he hadn't called me, I wouldn't have gotten angry and yelled at him. Wuuuuuu, he's not going to kill me, is he?]
