"I will tell them. Be careful when you go; the Bai family is acting strangely!" The emperor waved his hand, revealing his imperial majesty in front of Gu Xin for once. "You are a royal princess. If any of them do not cooperate with your investigation, punish them for disrespect. The Prince of Donglin is dead, and there is no one in the Donglin Prince's Mansion of higher status than you."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gu Xin replied.
"Also, when you go to Taizhou this time, bring Bai Yi with you. With him there, I will feel more at ease," the emperor said.
"Very well. Then this humble woman will take her leave!" Gu Xin also planned to bring Bai Yi, as well as Bai Er and Bai San.
Speaking of which, this man in white also has the surname Bai, and is said to be from Yunzhou. I wonder if he knows the King of Donglin.
Bai Er and his brothers were all subordinates of Bai Yi, and they didn't even know their own surnames, so they took Bai Yi's surname.
Gu Xin left the palace in a hurry, without even noticing that Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu were also coming this way.
"It seems Third Sister is going to take on this case," Xue Qianyu said, looking at Gu Xin who was hurrying away.
"I wonder if His Majesty will allow me to go along?" Lu Zheng sighed.
Since being assigned to the Royal Academy, he has been able to see Xin Xin frequently. If it weren't for the fact that their wedding date had already been set, he would definitely climb over the wall every night to chat with Xin Xin.
“It shouldn’t be allowed. Lu Er, I’ve noticed that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are consciously grooming Third Sister. Father-in-law also seems to have tacitly agreed not to object. What do you think? Will Third Sister become the first female Minister of the Court of Judicial Review in the Great Zhou Dynasty?” Xue Qianyu said.
He had discussed this topic with Gu Nian, and Gu Nian also thought it was possible.
"The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is fine; he's in the capital. As long as Xin Xin isn't sent out on missions everywhere, it's fine." Lu Zheng shrugged. What could he do? Xin Xin had that status, after all!
Moreover, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are now subtly doing things that benefit women.
For example, the emperor has recently been discussing the matter of a women's academy with Gu Shouxin. If the Great Zhou Dynasty becomes more and more prosperous, there may be a women's imperial examination and women may enter the court as officials.
Now there are three female generals: Gu Huijing, the princess, and He Sanniang. Gu Nian also holds a position in the Ordnance Bureau, as does Gu Si. Even Gu Si was consulted by the old man, the Vice Minister of Revenue. Gu Xin is even more so.
There's also the Royal Academy, which also admits women.
It has been half a year, and the Emperor suddenly said that he wanted to set up a girls' academy, which means that he is really considering this issue.
The two looked at each other and saw the longing in each other's eyes.
There was no other way; the two sisters they found were workaholics who couldn't stay idle. If in the future, all the people working around them were girls, or even more girls, they would feel at ease.
Having known the Gu family for so many years, these two good brothers no longer believe that women should only stay at home to be good wives and mothers.
The two arrived at the emperor's study and happened to meet Bai Feng, who was leaving.
The Emperor naturally forbade Lu Zheng from going. He said, "Lu Zheng, I know your abilities. If you go, what's the point of having Xin Xin? Wouldn't that just leave her bored after you've finished all her work? You two will be married next year, what's a day or two to worry about? Taizhou isn't far. Xin Xin will be back in ten days at most. With her current status, she can do whatever she wants in the Great Zhou. What are you worried about?"
