Chapter 18: Can women take part in the Enke exam?
Emperor: I haven't said anything yet, why is she acting out her own actions? And her crying is so unpleasant.
The emperor frowned, asked someone to stand up, and said, "The court is supposed to be free to speak freely. My dear Lord Fang, there is no need to be sad. Hurry and stand up."
Hearing the emperor say this, Fang Lingchu's face instantly lit up with joy. In his mind, he said to the system: "Our wise and powerful emperor is so kind, hahahaha. He has such a good temper and is so handsome. From now on, I will never criticize him in my mind again."
The system said: [Your Majesty is quite good. If it were any other emperor, you would have been dragged out and beaten with a stick.]
Other adults: If it’s them, this will be the outcome. But if it’s Lord Xiao Fang, then it’ll be fine.
Fang Lingchu agreed with the system's words very much and praised Emperor Chongde again in his heart.
Fang Lingchu praised Emperor Chongde so much that he felt a little flattered, but her next words made Emperor Chongde unhappy.
How could such a good emperor still destroy the country? I feel so sorry for my emperor, sob.
Emperor: You don’t need to say the rest.
Then, Fang Lingchu's even more heartbreaking words reached her: "You worked diligently to govern the country, but you never thought you'd die of exhaustion in the end. Oh, my Lord! There are so many princes and princesses! Why can't you give them some of your wealth? And there are so many court officials."
That’s right, Fang Lingchu saw that the emperor died five years later.
Emperor: Why can't he avoid this deadlock?
Then he looked at the prince and the court officials, not knowing what he was thinking.
When everyone heard the emperor's dilemma again, they were frightened and knelt down one after another.
When Fang Lingchu saw everyone kneeling, she subconsciously knelt with them and began to complain in her heart again.
[What happened to this unfortunate emperor? Why is he so angry?]
Emperor Chongde: Didn’t she just say that she doesn’t care about me in her heart?
The emperor took a look at the armrest that was slightly deformed by his subconscious pinching, and felt very dissatisfied.
But I still blocked the armrest with my clothes.
But I feel helpless. Is it true that humans cannot fight against nature?
The emperor asked them to stand up and then said, "We will discuss the matter of the women's imperial examination later."
When Fang Lingchu heard what the emperor said, he immediately retreated to his original position.
The emperor glanced at the officials below and said, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"
Everyone looked at each other, and nothing happened.
There was only the sound of Fang Lingchu muttering: "Guagua, why do you think the emperor is so stingy? He said yesterday that he would grant me a favor and agree to whatever I want. I don't want a fortune, he just wants to give a woman a chance.
He can't even do such a small thing, yet he still has the nerve to say he can give me anything I want. If I ask him for money, he won't just take back the order. The emperor is truly a dog.
Minister Fang: Now when I go to court, I feel a chill on my neck every day, and my heart is in turmoil every day.
Everyone: Your Majesty, it was Lord Xiao Fang who called you a dog, not us. Please don’t bring trouble upon innocent people.
The emperor felt that if he died that day, it must have been because of Fang Lingyan's anger.
But he is a person who never shows his joy, so no one can tell whether he is sad or angry.
The emperor consoled himself and asked, "Lord Fang, you saved me yesterday. I promised to grant you a favor, but now I've made up my mind."
Emperor Chongde looked at Fang Lingyan with a look that made it clear that he should stop talking about the women's imperial examination.
Fang Lingchu curled her lips, glanced at the prince, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to be your daughter."
The emperor looked at Fang Lingchu and sighed in his heart. He actually intended to make Fang Lingchu the Crown Princess, but seeing Fang Lingchu's resistance, he couldn't force her to be the Crown Prince.
It would be bad if it backfired. Anyway, her life is now connected with the Moon Golden Dragon of their country, and she will protect the Dragon Country.
Minister Fang looked at his daughter in surprise. What was she going to do?
Seeing that the emperor above hadn't replied for a long time, Fang Lingchu began to get angry: [Guagua, just look at me, I knew it. This damn emperor is stingy. He won't give me anything I want, and yet he still asks me why...]
She started to try out the Cricket Emperor again. She looked like a good girl on the surface, but she was actually a bitch in her heart.
Seeing that the emperor did not answer, Fang Lingchu asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is it not possible?"
The emperor pretended to think to cover up his distraction.
The emperor, as the beloved old father, really worries about the prince.
Then he secretly gave the Prince's tutor a look.
The Prince's Tutor tried very hard to understand the Emperor's gaze, but the Emperor was looking at him, and the Prince was also looking at him, so he had no choice but to stand up.
"Your Majesty, I believe that it is not proper for Lord Xiaofang to invite the princess."
Fang Lingchu was a little dissatisfied. She had spent ten years of her life to save the emperor. She just wanted the title of princess. How could that be against etiquette?
"Although Lady Xiao Fang saved Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister. If you were to confer the title of princess upon her simply for this achievement, I'm afraid it would cause dissatisfaction among the other princesses and meritorious ministers. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
After saying this, the Prince's Tutor didn't dare look at Fang Lingchu and could only apologize to her silently in his heart.
But for the prince, he had no choice but to do this.
After all, Fang Lingchu's voice not only saved the emperor, but also so many people in Longguo, and she also found out some people in the court who were collaborating with the enemy. She had achieved such achievements in just a few days of attending court, so she was fully qualified.
Alas! These achievements cannot be publicly announced, and the emperor wants to give the prince a chance.
Fang Lingchu wanted to refute, but she felt that the other party was right. Her heart was in turmoil and she was so angry.
Fang Lingchu could only go to the system to ask him: [System, who is this old man?]
The system scanned it and said, "The Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Ji Fanyu, was formerly the late emperor's tutor, later the Emperor's teacher, and is now the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor and the Imperial Concubine's father."
Fang Lingchu glanced at the Prince's tutor and asked, "This is the legendary veteran of three dynasties. Aren't there many people in their sixties who still have to work at this age?"
The system said: [In ancient times, one's body and hair were inherited from one's parents. He has a beard, and you know what a teacher is like. He just looks older, but he's only in his fifties.]
Fang Lingchu glanced at the emperor, then at the prince's tutor, and after comparing the two, she decided to respect the elder and love the young.
Fang Lingchu said angrily: [Since he is so old, I won't bother with him.]
Seeing that Fang Lingchu was really no longer angry, the emperor glanced at Eunuch Gao.
This shouldn't be considered as a disagreement, and it can give the prince another chance.
Eunuch Gao went to retrieve an imperial edict: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that Fang Lingchu, the daughter of the Fang family, is virtuous and kind... After a flurry of praise, in recognition of her meritorious service in saving the emperor, she is granted the title of Princess Anding. She is granted a fief of 1,000 households and the fiefdom of Hanyang."
