"Strength is the foundation for a person to stand firm."
"I believe that in the future there will be more people who are not my friends but will become outstanding ladies-in-waiting."
Yuchi Xi supported her chubby little face with both hands and smiled at her, "Actually, when I first met Sister Li, I thought you were very amazing."
"As for your insistence on marrying a powerful man, I believe many people would find it despicable, but at that time, you were very determined to achieve this goal."
"In my opinion, someone as determined as you will definitely succeed in everything you do."
Li Shiqi felt a little embarrassed by her praise.
"Am I that good?"
Li Shiqi was embarrassed. She actually felt that she was not good enough, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong in wanting to live a life of wealth and glory.
Who doesn’t want to live a life of wealth and prosperity?
“If you are determined to achieve your goal and keep working towards it, you will definitely be rewarded.”
“But if you don’t work hard, there will be no reward.”
Yuchixi blinked at her, "Isn't that right?"
Li Shiqi:!!
"right!!"
Such a cute little princess, everything she says is right!
Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Little Princess said she believed her!!
She herself didn't believe in herself that much.
"Okay, I'll try again!"
Li Shiqi clenched her fists, and Yuchi Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
[It was a close call, luckily I reacted quickly!!]
[Honestly, if such a beautiful lady is willing to be my personal maid, I would still agree. Who doesn't want to open their eyes every day to see a beautiful lady and sleep in her arms?]
【but! ! 】
[Sister Li's identity... let's forget about it. I don't want Dad to be overwhelmed by memorials.]
The main reason is that she really believes that Li Shiqi can do it.
It would be great to encourage such a talented person to study!
It's such a waste of talent to be around her!
Yuchi Xi had eaten and drunk his fill, and also listened to Li Shiqi playing music. Gotta say it, it really is true, this little life is so comfortable!
No wonder these noble ladies like to come here for boating. Who wouldn’t love to see beauties and listen to them playing music?
After Yuchi Xi left, Li Shiqi also returned to her boudoir.
Looking at the pile of books on how to please people on the table, she took a box and walked over to put them all in.
"Huh? Miss, aren't these your favorite books?"
"Want to put it away?"
The personal maid felt something was strange.
Li Shiqi hummed, "I won't watch it again in the future."
She picked up a brush and wrote down a list of books. "Go buy these books for me."
The maid took it and took a look, her face full of disbelief, "This...Miss, aren't these books read by those who participate in the imperial examinations..."
"Why, I can't watch?" Li Shiqi gave her a sidelong glance, and the maid quickly said, "No, I'm just being nosy!"
"Please forgive me, young lady!"
"Don't do it again." Li Shiqi didn't explain anything to her and asked her to go buy it. The maid ran out in a hurry. Before going to buy it, she thought about it and told the lady about the young lady's abnormality.
Mrs. Li was a dignified and elegant person. When she learned about this, she slowly came to Li Shiqi's yard.
Li Shiqi was a little surprised when she saw her, "Mom, how come you have time to come to me?"
Madam Li smiled, held her hand and sat down. She glanced over and her personal maid led a group of maids and old women out.
Madam Li gently patted the back of her hand and said, "I heard that you were reading books meant for people taking the imperial examinations?"
"What's going on?"
Meeting her worried gaze, Li Shiqi softened her tone, "Mom, I just want to fight for myself."
"If men can do it, why can't we women?"
Madam Li smiled helplessly, "Last time you said you wanted to read those books on the imperial examination with great interest, I was also surprised at the time, but in the end you stopped reading them within half a month."
"I thought you had thought it through."
"Why women can't do this? I thought you would know clearly."
Li Shiqi was silent. How could she not know?
Why not women?
Because there was no imperial examination for women only.
She studied for half a year, and it wasn't like what she told the little princess that she "couldn't learn it". No, she could learn it.
But she saw no hope.
There is no imperial examination for women.
So what if you have learned it?
In the end it's just a waste of time.
Madam Li spoke softly, "You have always been a smart child. You always know what you want, and you have never made me worry about you."
"Mother isn't saying that she doesn't support you, but she just doesn't want you to waste this time."
"You're still young, so it's still easy for you to find a good man. But what if this delays you for a few years? By then, all the good men will have been chosen by others."
Madam Li said quietly, "Don't blame your maid. She told me this because she was worried about you."
Li Shiqi hummed softly, her eyes firm, "Mom, this time I'm not just talking."
“I really want to try my best.”
Madam Li, "Even if there are no women taking the imperial examination?"
"Yes." Li Shiqi pursed her lips, "Just because there isn't one now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future!"
"I know that marrying a powerful man is the easiest way, but, mother, I won't give in."
"I've always been very unwilling."
She never wanted to rely on men to achieve success. She had thought about creating a world for herself before.
