"Just because something doesn't exist doesn't mean it can't exist. Your Majesty, why not be the first in history to do so? Set a precedent?"
"I will use Achan to test it out, so that Your Majesty can see that what a man can do, a woman can also do."
"Good!" Li Shengyuan was infected by her confidence. "It's rare for my beloved concubine to take the initiative to make a request to me."
You have never had a fervent interest in gold, silver, jewelry, power, or status.
What they were actually focusing on were things these orphans had never observed before.
Li Shengyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll bet you that as long as Shangguan Chan can enter the martial arts examination and obtain the title of Jinshi."
"I agree to your request to amend the system so that in future imperial examinations and martial arts examinations, there will be no gender restrictions, and both men and women can participate."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mi Shan smiled, a determined glint in her eyes.
Let alone becoming a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations).
She believed in Achan.
Her abilities go far beyond that.
Even someone with Zhang Jianyue's talent could have become the top martial arts scholar in his previous life.
Needless to say, Achan was even more so.
-
In the days that followed,
When she had nothing to do, Mi Shan liked to sit in the courtyard, admiring the lotus flowers while watching A Chan practice martial arts.
Watching her wield her sword like rain, the air currents she stirred up caused ripples to rise on the lake's surface, and lotus leaves to tumble.
Occasionally offer a word or two of guidance:
“For this move, ‘Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank,’ your sword should be positioned a little further to the left.”
The martial arts terms that came out of her mouth surprised even Achan.
“Your Majesty,” she sheathed her sword and walked slowly over, “how do you know so much?”
Mi Shan remained silent, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
Recalling her past life, she studied military strategy books diligently for Zhang Jianyue, and almost read through all the martial arts books.
It was so that I could accompany him when he practiced martial arts and give him some pointers.
It can serve as a supervisory tool and also encourage him to make progress.
She had also tried so hard to manage a family well, but Zhang Jianyue didn't deserve anyone to treat him well at all!
“It’s nothing,” Mi Shan slowly shook her head, concealing the thoughts in her eyes. “I’ve read some related books, but I only know how to talk about it theoretically.”
"That's still very impressive."
Achan looked at her with admiration in her eyes.
Mi Shan smiled slightly: "Practice hard and be sure to pass the imperial examination. Whether our women's struggle can succeed depends on you."
Encouraged, Achan's eyes lit up, and she raised her sword and clasped her hands in a gesture of respect: "This servant will do her utmost to live up to the opportunity Your Highness has requested!"
She knew that this time,
She must win, and she will win!
Mi Shan didn't respond further, but walked forward and called Xun'er over: "It seems like we haven't heard from Mi Fen and Zhang Jianyue in a long time. Do you have any connections to find out?"
"Your Majesty, with your current power, what can't you do? Besides, we have a gossip expert in our palace."
Xun'er said that she called Xiao Mingzi over and gave him some silver.
Xiao Mingzi immediately assured him, patting his chest, "No problem, leave it to me. I have an intelligence network not only inside the palace, but also outside!"
That night, the candlelight flickered.
Mi Shan sat under the tree, enjoying the breeze and watching the stars twinkle in the sky. Apart from the occasional discomfort from the pain in her shoulder, the night was truly pleasant.
"Your Majesty, I have returned with the news."
Xiaomingzi ran in happily and handed her a letter with both hands.
Mi Shan's eyes lit up.
Open the letter.
After reading it, a faint smile gradually appeared on his lips: "Zhang Jianyue has actually become addicted to gambling, and he even went to brothels behind Mi Fen's back."
Mi Fen, with her proud nature, was able to swallow this insult.
Too,
She will never admit that her choice was wrong; she probably won't give up until she hits a brick wall.
In her previous life, when Mi Shan married into Zhang Jianyue's family, no one truly cared about her, so she didn't make any demands.
So they married her off.
Zhang Jianyue did not give a single penny as a bride price.
His mother, Wang, naturally had no choice but to use the dowry he had prepared to help his younger brother get married.
In that home,
What disgusted Mi Shan the most was not the mean-spirited Wang Shi, but Zhang Jianyue's foolish younger brother.
He was intellectually challenged but had a strong lustful desire; he would always hide in the shadows to spy on her and even steal her personal clothing.
Mi Shan still managed to use some methods to lure Wang Shi with high wages for village jobs, thus tricking the fool into going out to work and allowing her to enjoy a period of leisure.
Later, the fool met a girl who was also foolish while logging, and they hit it off and became a couple.
Mi Shan devoted himself to taking care of Wang Shi at home and supervising Zhang Jianyue's martial arts training. He gave him many pointers, which enabled him to successfully pass the martial arts examination and become the champion.
Her situation was not as good as the outside world made it out to be. The claims that her family was well-off and that her relatives were harmonious were just lies that Zhang Jianyue fabricated to save face after becoming the Imperial Commander.
Mi Fen took it seriously and suffered greatly after marrying him.
-
Under the starlight, Chengqian Palace stands majestic and imposing.
After the death of Prince Pingxi, Consort Ru locked herself in the palace and refused to go out.
All the clansmen were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
The Emperor forbade her to plead for him.
Out of consideration for their many years of marriage, he spared her from being punished as well.
They even had people watch over her day and night to prevent her from having a moment of despair and harming herself.
That night.
When the Empress heard footsteps outside the palace, she looked up and saw that her empty eyes were devoid of any emotion.
A glimmer of light appeared only when they saw Li Shengyuan's face clearly.
"Your Majesty, you've finally deigned to come see your humble servant?"
"Why?"
"You are so cruel as to exterminate my entire clan."
"Ru'er, you're still struggling with this matter." Li Shengyuan frowned and said coldly, "I thought you had figured it out. It seems I've come at the wrong time."
"Your Majesty, please don't go. I have no other wish but to have my brother's ashes returned."
"No! He was a traitor, and I have already had him torn apart by five horses! His bones were crushed and scattered to the winds!"
"No--"
Empress Ru almost fainted, clinging tightly to his dragon robe.
"Actually, at first, I hadn't figured out how to kill him. Do you know who was the first to try and kill him?"
"Who is it?" Empress Ru asked in a trembling voice.
“Feng Miao, the disciple he trained,” Li Shengyuan sneered, “Even his disciple thinks he deserves to die, why can’t you understand?”
“If it weren’t for the kindness you had shown me, I should have sent you down to join your brother just because you were my wife.”
Empress Ru's face turned pale, and she fainted in despair.
"Imperial Physician, take good care of the Imperial Concubine!"
After saying this, Li Shengyuan turned and left.
Many years ago, when he was still in the Prince's residence, he got drunk on his way home and stumbled into an icy lake.
To save him, the Empress disregarded her own safety, broke through the ice, and jumped into the icy water to rescue him from drowning.
That winter, water froze instantly.
Empress Ru also had her period.
The imperial physician told him that the imperial concubine had suffered a serious injury and would likely have difficulty conceiving an heir in the future.
