[What does this mean? Who wants to deal with him?] Ji Yingying looked up at Mu Kaiji, who was staring intently at the target.
He's a very handsome and charming man. If it were her previous life, she would definitely have pursued him. Even if he didn't want to be her man, she would have spared no effort to sleep with him.
The daughter of a certain minister has already made her move in his tent. Do you want to help him?
I think he shouldn't use it. Tell me, what's the story behind this minister's daughter?
【What else could it be? She had an affair, got someone pregnant, and then tried to cheat on your detective brother. The methods she used were extremely despicable. Do you want to hear about it?】
"Tell me about it?" Ji Yingying pulled out an arrow and nocked it into her bow. There was an incredibly serious look on her face, as if she were a stunningly beautiful woman who was bringing disaster to the world.
[She tampered with the aromatherapy diffuser. This fragrance not only makes people drowsy but also causes hallucinations. Moreover, she not only tampered with the diffuser but also with the tea and the people who have been with him these past few days. Host, can you guess what she did?]
【Hmm~ They changed the person?】
She didn't replace him; she simply took control of the guard's entire family, forcing them to sell her information.
[Who is this woman? What is it about our detective that she's interested in?]
[Probably because she's single and doesn't have in-laws, making her easier to manipulate!]
[What? She must have a misunderstanding about herself. Otherwise, how did she come to the conclusion that our detective brother is someone who's easy to manipulate?]
[That's true, our detective brother is really capable; he'd better think twice before trying to take advantage of us.]
Upon hearing this thought, Mu Kaiji couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
What are you whining about?
"I'm so happy! Getting to know this older sister is the happiest thing for me."
"Oh my, you have such a sweet tongue."
[Host, you're at it again, swooning over a girl?] Xiangxiang was speechless; she hadn't expected her to be this kind of host.
【No, don't you think he's really handsome?】A police officer, he really is incredibly handsome.
As for the minister's daughter, Mu Kaiji didn't even need to lift a finger; someone else took care of her.
At night, a campfire was lit, and everyone sat down to drink heartily until they were completely drunk.
There were also dancers performing, and Ji Yingying was completely captivated by their dance. Her usually calm eyes shone like fallen stars, and her knuckles unconsciously tapped the table as she swayed her shoulders slightly to the beat of the drums.
Is it good-looking?
[Beautiful, so beautiful! I really admire girls who are broad-minded and have a deep understanding of life.]
[Your punctuation is so precise that if you don't listen carefully, you really won't understand it.]
Haha~ You don't understand, these older sisters are so filial, they take such good care of Grandma.
Everyone was shocked by her bold words. Where did this child learn the language?
"Big sister, is it pretty?"
"It looks good, detective brother, don't you think it looks good?" Ji Yingying asked back, the two of them being extremely polite to each other.
After the dance was over, the next step was the bestowal of rewards. Ji Yingying received two foxes, which were sent to the Ministry of Rites to be made into a fox fur coat for her.
This year's winner is her second brother. Ji Yingying never expected that her second brother would do such a big thing in silence, hunting so many by himself.
They also took a lot of meat home.
"Mother, when we get back, we must cure the meat."
I love eating cured meat, especially smoked meat; it tastes so good.
"Okay, Mom will make it for you when we get back."
Fang Yulan was also happy. She wondered which ancestor they had prayed to in the latter half of the year, which had led to their promotion.
"Yingying, this roasted meat has a more smoky flavor than the meat in the palace. You should try it. Your mother also prepared some barbecue seasoning, so it tastes even better than last year's meat." The Empress had a small dish of pheasant meat brought over.
I chose chicken thigh meat again; it looks delicious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ji Yingying started eating, and only went back to sleep after the banquet ended.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard Xiangxiang say, "Host, your detective brother's tent is getting lively, aren't you going to go see the show?"
The person who was drowsy suddenly became wide awake.
[Is she the daughter of the minister you mentioned this morning?]
It wasn't that one; it was someone else.
Ji Yingying's eyes widened in shock. She quickly got up, put on her shoes, and went outside. Mu Kaiji's tent was brightly lit, and someone was roaring. The voice was hoarse and sounded like someone was about to devour someone.
[Huh? A roaring emperor has emerged?]
[What "roaring emperor"? That's the voice of someone frustrated and angry, his scheme failed, and he's now fuming with embarrassment.]
Tell me what happened?
Why don't you go and see for yourself?
[Hehe, I'd like to, but I always get caught when I go to watch the fun. I'm afraid it'll be the same this time.]
So she didn't plan to go there, since she still had the Xiangxiang system.
[Okay, it's another woman who wanted to break away from her family, so she plotted against the detective, but ended up sleeping with his servant. They're dealing with that matter now.]
[What do you think the ending will be like?] Ji Yingying peeked out. Women with ambitions higher than the sky but fates as fragile as paper, can't they wait any longer? The emperor is already planning to start the imperial examinations.
[You said I'd talk to the Emperor and suggest that women be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations this year. What do you think?]
The provincial and prefectural examinations are over, so naturally women cannot participate in this year's imperial examinations. However, military officers can be selected.
Ji Yingying lost interest and went back to her room to lie down and continue sleeping. When she returned the next day, Ji Yingying heard from Yan Ni that the woman from the previous night had been sent to the family temple.
"They were sent to the family temple to become nuns?"
"Yes, if she doesn't become a nun, that woman can't survive; she'll only have herself to die."
"Alas, His Majesty has already planned to establish a path for women to take the imperial examinations. Perhaps the regulations will be put forward after the New Year or before the New Year."
This is all I can do.
"Thank you. If women could really take the imperial examinations and become officials in the court, I think many women wouldn't have to lose their lives because they depended on men."
"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything, I can't change anything."
The ideas of a dynasty are not so easily changed. Just like in modern times, although everyone is supposed to be equal, the concept of male superiority still exists, and the burden on women is even heavier.
The rich are okay, but what about the poor?
"Don't say that, Sister Ji, your arrival has already changed a lot."
"hehe……"
[It makes me feel embarrassed; what can I possibly believe?]
However, Ji Yingying still wrote a draft and submitted it to Minister Lu. When Minister Lu saw her draft, he was dumbfounded. The idea of a woman serving as an official made him write a plan.
He himself was having a terrible headache, but Ji Yingying handled it with ease. When the memorial was submitted, the Emperor was very satisfied.
