Drop after drop fell on the back of his hand, and the emperor's heart almost broke. "If Huan'er has been wronged, just tell me."
"I kept you by my side not to let you suffer any injustice!"
"gentlemen……"
Lin Chunhuan bit her lip lightly, curled up in the emperor's arms, and cried uncontrollably, "The Ji family is going too far, too far!"
The whole story was explained in a few words. Before Lin Chunhuan could stop crying, the Queen Mother slammed her cane on the ground, making a loud bang. "Ji Congsheng actually married a concubine today, and that concubine is a prostitute!"
“That’s not all.”
Lin Chunhuan sniffed, her eyes red and swollen from crying, yet they looked even more watery and pitiful. "Today, when we were entering the house, two sedan chairs collided and blocked the road. Ji Congsheng actually made Ke'er wait, and let that woman enter the Ji family first. Sir, how can I believe that the Ji family didn't do it on purpose?"
"Although Ke'er did something wrong, she is still the one who left my house. She is doing this with my dignity. When Ji Congsheng did this..."
Isn't that just trampling on her face as the queen?
The Queen Mother's face turned ashen.
Although her surname was Ji and the Marquis' Mansion was her maternal family, almost all of her maternal family members who were familiar with her were dead. The current Marquis Ji was just a half-brother whom she was not very familiar with.
Because they all have the surname Ji, the Queen Mother is willing to honor her few relatives in this world.
But no matter how much she cares about her relatives, in her heart they are no match for her son!
What Ji Congsheng did today was not to trample on the queen's face. This marriage was granted by the emperor himself, and the Ji family married a prostitute on the same day.
This was basically an expression of dissatisfaction with the arranged marriage. The person she hit was her son's face!
"The Queen doesn't need to say anything."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and her cold tone chilled people's hearts. "My surname is Ji, and I can't interfere in this matter. The Queen has been wronged today, and the Emperor doesn't need to bother with my face. Just do what you have to do."
When seeing the Queen Mother off, Lin Chunhuan felt that this tough and courageous old man seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"gentlemen……"
"The Ji family really can't be kept." The emperor's face looked very bad. He knew that the Ji family had ambitions, but he didn't expect them to be so stupid!
Seeing Lin Chunhuan's ugly face, his tone slowed down a little, "Huan'er, don't worry. I will give you an explanation for this matter. You are the queen, and no one in this world can give you a hard time!"
Lin Chunhuan nodded slowly.
The days passed by in the blink of an eye. I don’t know if it was to appease her, but the empress dowager actually agreed to set up a girls’ school!
Although he did not directly agree to set up a girls' school, he nodded in agreement for her to start recruiting female officials for admission!
It seems similar, but there are many tricks involved.
To be a palace lady-in-waiting, one must be from an aristocratic family. This has been the rule since ancient times. No matter how outstanding a commoner woman is, she will never get such an opportunity.
And now, the Queen Mother's nod gave the commoner woman a way out.
As long as you pass the assessment, you will have the opportunity to enter the academy. Although you will not learn how to govern a country, you can serve as a female official in the palace. This is just a small innovation.
But since this matter has been opened, Lin Chunhuan has the confidence to gradually tear this gap open until a piece of sky is torn open for women all over the world!
Her belly was getting bigger day by day. Even after using the props in the magic bag, Lin Chunhuan still felt that the lump of fat in her belly was very tiring. However, the imperial physician also advised her to walk more so that the delivery would be smoother.
Lin Chunhuan had only taken a few steps when Cuiyun, the maid beside her, came over quickly and said, "Madam, Miss Yu is already waiting at the door. Where do you want her to go?"
"Lead her to the side hall. I will meet her there."
Lin Chunhuan held his waist with both hands and took a deep breath. Cai Huan saw this and quickly handed him some warm water. "This body is really getting heavier and heavier. I can hardly breathe after just a few steps."
"Your Majesty, you should rest more!" Seeing her master's swollen legs, Cai Huan felt very distressed. "If His Majesty knew about this, I'm afraid he would be angry again."
Lin Chunhuan smiled, turned around and went into the house to change his clothes, then rushed to see Yu Huier without stopping.
As soon as they met, Yu Hui'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times without saying a word, "Your Majesty is so righteous! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have this opportunity in my life!"
Yu Huier's eyes were blurred with tears, and she kowtowed sincerely.
Before, the Queen told her that there were other options, but she didn't understand what she meant. To her, a woman's life path was to get married and have children. At most, she could write some poems and paint, and earn the reputation of a talented woman.
But I didn't expect that only a few months had passed.
The Queen Mother actually set up this girls' school!
Although women who are able to enroll have to pass the same exams as men, so what?
How many people who are born as girls have waited their whole lives but probably never got a chance to compete fairly. If everyone in the world knew that studying is useful for women,
If women could also pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to their family, then who knows how many corpses of baby girls would be found in the moat every year!
"Get up, get up!"
Lin Chunhuan was too heavy to bend down, so she quickly asked Caihuan to help Yu Huier up. "You are my hand-picked examiner. I still rely on you to determine whether this female official assessment will pass. Why are you performing such a grand ceremony? Get up quickly!"
This time, the female officials were enrolled in school, and they took advantage of the trend of the spring examination to hold an examination for the candidate female officials. All they had to do was pay two taels of silver. No matter if they were noble ladies in Kyoto or common women, as long as they were of good character, they could participate.
Those who pass the assessment can enter Yuhua College to continue their studies and will be appointed as officials after one year.
Although, there are only ten vacancies for officials to be sent in the end.
But this is an unprecedented feat!
Yu Huier came out on top in the first assessment, which was something Lin Chunhuan had not expected, so he immediately appointed her an official position.
That is to teach and test the candidates for female officials.
Although... it was just a low-ranking official position, it still caused quite a stir. Both she and the emperor were under tremendous pressure.
"Your Majesty, please let me kneel!" Yu Huier was wearing official uniform.
This official uniform is not very good-looking. It is a little gray in the blue color and the material is a bit rough. Yu Huier is the daughter of a minister, and I am afraid that even the maidservants around her would not like this material.
But when she put on this dress, Yu Huier felt an unprecedented sense of freedom for the first time!
"Hui'er never thought that she would one day become an official. Your Majesty, you probably don't know that now all the women in the world look up to you as a role model!"
