[Hahahaha, my funny bone! So this is what Daddy thinks when others bow their heads in front of him.]
Li Shiqi didn't expect Emperor Dewu to say that. She raised her head somewhat embarrassedly and saw Yuchi Xi winking at her in Emperor Dewu's arms.
She quickly bowed again, "Your Highness, your Highness, the Little Princess."
"Sister Li, get up quickly!"
Yuchi Xi looked at Emperor Dewu, who said, "Please take a seat."
Li Shiqi:!!!
What's going on? The emperor actually gave me a seat?
Me? Am I worthy?!
Li Shiqi sat nervously on the stool brought by her father-in-law. She felt as if there were needles prickling under her butt and she couldn't sit still.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Dewu said, "There is something I want to tell you."
"I heard from Xi'er that you are quite knowledgeable. I want to test you."
Li Shiqi's forehead was covered in sweat. "This humble servant only knows a little bit. If Your Majesty wants to test me, it's fine. Your Majesty, please!"
She didn't dare to say that she was knowledgeable in front of the emperor.
Emperor Dewu first tested her with some articles, which she recited fluently. He then asked some more questions, which she still answered beautifully. Emperor Dewu's eyes also became serious.
Li Shiqi gradually relaxed, as she was quite knowledgeable.
She has been studying hard these years just to gain the title of a talented woman. Later, she also hoped that one day she would be able to enter the Golden Palace and sit on equal footing with those men.
Yuchi Xi chuckled and said, "It's stable, it's stable."
Sister Li is awesome!
Li Shiqi was talking until her mouth was dry. Her father-in-law beside her was very considerate and offered her some hot tea. She took it, thanked him and took a sip.
Emperor Dewu also had a plan in mind.
With her ability, she is qualified for a position like county magistrate.
"Let me ask you, what do you think of women in politics?"
Emperor Dewu suddenly asked.
Li Shiqi was stunned for a moment. She looked at Yuchi Xi, who gave her an encouraging look. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke, "I believe that in any position, the most capable person should be given the upper hand!"
"It has nothing to do with men or women."
After Li Shiqi said this, she felt uneasy. She had heard the words "It's a pity that she is a girl" too many times. She wondered if the emperor would say the same thing.
After all, who would really want women in politics?
Even if the Emperor dotes on the little princess, it is impossible...
The more Li Shiqi thought about it, the more confused she became.
Emperor Dewu shouted "Okay!" and she froze in shock.
good?
What does the emperor mean by "good"?
Do you think what she said is good?
"Well said, the capable ones will prevail!"
"I completely agree with this statement."
Emperor Dewu asked her, "Baoyi Town is short of a county magistrate. Are you willing to go?"
Li Shiqi was stunned.
She suspected there was something wrong with her ears, otherwise how could she hear the emperor asking her to be a county magistrate? She hadn't even taken the imperial examination!
Yuchi Xi spoke softly, "Sister Li, Daddy is asking you, are you willing?"
Looking into her eyes, Li Shiqi understood everything. This opportunity was fought for her by the little princess.
With tears in her eyes, she knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am willing to do this! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
"I will not let the emperor down!"
Emperor Dewu used both kindness and force, "I look forward to your performance. If you don't do well, I will send someone to replace you."
"Yes!" Li Shiqi was so happy. She was already very happy to have this opportunity!
"Your Majesty, your humble servant bows in gratitude. Long live the Emperor!"
Emperor Dewu, "You still call yourself a subject?"
"Your Majesty, I bow to thank you!"
Li Shiqi quickly changed her words.
Emperor Dewu asked her to leave with the eunuch beside her, and the eunuch would tell her if she needed to prepare anything.
Li Shiqi happily left with her father-in-law.
Yuchi Xi hugged Emperor Dewu's neck and acted coquettishly.
"Daddy is wise!"
"You!" Emperor Dewu stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose. "Little clever girl."
"However, Daddy is not doing this just for your sake. She is really capable."
"I know that Daddy loves the people as much as he loves his own children and will not joke about their lives." Yuchi Xi chuckled.
Emperor Dewu patted her little head lovingly and said, "As for talent selection, Daddy still has a lot to learn from you."
[How could that be possible, my father? You are much better at selecting talents than I am!]
Yuchi Xi was chatting with Emperor Dewu. On the other side, after Li Shiqi went out, she slapped herself hard. The pain made her cry out instantly.
The father-in-law standing by was scared to death.
What’s going on?
Could it be that Miss Li has been contaminated with something unclean?
Her father-in-law quietly moved away from her. Li Shiqi cried, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and looked back at her father-in-law. "I'm sorry to have laughed at you, but I'm really too happy."
Father-in-law: It’s not just a joke, it’s like seeing a ghost.
"Um, um, Miss Li, are you okay?"
"Did you see something unclean?"
Li Shiqi looked bewildered. "No, I'm just so happy. My hard work has finally paid off!"
Father-in-law: ...
People of Baoyi Town and Baoyi Village, you are so unlucky!
This Miss Li must have something wrong with her brain!
But this was the emperor's decision, and he was not the little princess, so he had no influence over it.
Li Shiqi asked her father-in-law a lot of questions, and her father-in-law answered truthfully and told her a lot of news about Baoyi Town, which Li Shiqi wrote down.
