An unprecedented light shone in my grandmother's cloudy eyes.
The mother loosened her grip on her hand, looked at Yu Luo, then at her own rough palms, as if weighing a completely new possibility.
Yu Luo did not linger here for long.
She made an agreement with her family that once she settled down in the capital, she would write a letter back and tell them about her recent situation in detail.
After explaining everything, she turned around and walked towards the teleportation array without any hesitation.
The teleportation array flashed by, and the scene before us changed instantly.
Just moments ago, she was in a bustling factory district at the foot of a barren mountain, but the next second, she found herself in a completely different, prosperous place.
This is the other end of the teleportation array, a market town on the outskirts of the capital.
Before she could even get a good look at her surroundings, a group of people swarmed around her.
"Young man! Are you selling the goods on your cart?"
A wealthy merchant, as fat as a ball and waving a gold leaf fan, was the first to squeeze to the front, her small eyes darting around at the goods on her cart.
"I'll take it all! Fifteen hundred taels! I'll give you the cash right now!"
Yu Luo was stunned for a moment.
She remembered Huang Xinyu saying that the factory price of this truckload of goods was only one thousand taels.
Just by teleporting from the mountains to the outside world, in the blink of an eye, one can earn a net profit of five hundred taels.
She finally understood why so many people were desperate to establish a connection with the barren mountain, and why there were always so many eager merchants waiting outside the teleportation array.
This money is too easy to make.
A businessman who hadn't managed to snag a ticket spoke up sourly.
"Young man, you've really lost out!"
"This is a novelty found only in the wilderness. If you take it to the capital and sell it to those high-ranking officials and nobles, the price will at least double!"
Yu Luo remained unmoved.
She looked calmly at the portly businessman and said, "Deal."
For her, enough money was enough.
The purpose of this trip is scientific research, and to secure a future for this body.
With this 1,500 taels, he wouldn't have to worry about making a living for a long time to come, and could devote himself wholeheartedly to his books.
The transaction was completed quickly, and Yu Luo, holding the heavy silver notes, found a quiet inn in the capital to stay in.
She neatly arranged all the books she had brought from home on her desk, lit an oil lamp, and began her arduous study day and night.
Time slipped away quietly amidst the rustling sound of pages turning.
Several days passed in this manner.
That night, Yu Luo put down the book in her hand and rubbed her slightly sore eyes.
The moonlight outside the window was as still as water, serene and silent.
She suddenly had a strange feeling.
A feeling of fulfillment.
It was as if her mission in this body had come to an end at this moment.
The Yu family's crisis has been resolved.
Grandmother and mother found their place in the textile factory, and several nieces happily entered the Mountain God School.
And the fate of Yu Xinran, the owner of this body, has been completely reversed.
With her talent and learning, it was only a matter of time before she passed the imperial examination with flying colors.
It's time... to leave.
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
The next second, a wisp of pale golden light, like a wisp of smoke, slowly drifted out from between Yu Luo's eyebrows and condensed in the air into a blurry humanoid soul.
On the bed, the body trembled slightly, and the tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
In those eyes, there was first confusion, then clarity.
The real Yu Xinran has returned.
The pale golden soul did not immediately dissipate; it hovered quietly in mid-air, as if an invisible scroll were unfolding before one's eyes.
Time flies within the scroll painting.
Yu Xinran, sitting in the Golden Palace, won the new emperor's favor with her brilliant policy essay and was promoted to serve by his side.
However, an unexpected incident revealed her true identity as a woman to the new emperor.
In the scene, Yu Xinran removes her official hat, her long hair flowing freely, and kneels calmly on the cold floor of the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, I have deceived the Emperor and deserve to die. I beg you to punish me."
The young emperor, seated high on the dragon throne, remained silent for a long time.
She slowly walked down the steps and came to Yu Xinran, but a smile that no one could understand appeared on her face.
"Deceiving the emperor?"
"I am also a woman."
With a loud bang, Yu Xinran suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with utter disbelief.
The emperor raised his hand and casually pulled out the jade hairpin that was used to secure his hair bun.
His jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, spilling over his bright yellow dragon robe.
That handsome face clearly had the soft features of a woman.
"I want to pave a path for women in this world."
"Yu Xinran, I hereby order you to establish girls' schools so that all women in the world may have access to education and knowledge."
The scene shifts again.
In the quiet morning court session, civil and military officials stood solemnly.
The emperor, seated on his dragon throne, unleashed a thunderous roar in a calm, unwavering voice.
"From this day forward, a special examination for women will be held, and all women of the Liang Kingdom may participate in the examination to enter officialdom."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than chaos erupted in the imperial court!
An elderly minister with white hair stepped out of the ranks, trembling, tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! Since ancient times, yin and yang have been in harmony, with women managing the household and men managing external affairs. How can we allow women to enter the court and wield great power? This is an act that shakes the very foundation of the nation!"
