After the exam, Murong Jin had the exam papers collected and announced the end of the exam. All the candidates left the examination room in an orderly manner.
Murong Jin stood in the center of the hall, turned to look at the emperor, Jun Lan, who was on the throne, smiled at him, then bowed slightly and left the hall.
Zhao Delin: "His Majesty and the others have all left, so we can go now."
Li Mingzhong and the others below also left slowly after Di Junlan left.
As Emperor Junlan was about to approach Murong Jin in the Imperial Garden, he saw two women arrive at Murong Jin's side a step ahead of him.
"Your subject, Mu Qingwan, pays respects to the Regent."
Murong Jin looked at them and said, "Oh? What business do you have with me?"
"This humble woman greatly admires the Regent. It is rare for me to see Your Highness, but I have finally managed to meet you this time. I have a question I would like to ask Your Highness."
"Miss Mu, please speak."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I would like to ask if women can also protect their homes and country like men. Scholars write diligently to safeguard the dignity of the nation, and warriors protect their homes and country for the peace and security of the nation."
Murong Jin looked at her, not answering her question, but instead asking her, "What do you think, Miss Mu?"
"I think it's acceptable."
Murong Jin: "Mm."
A voice came from afar, "Your Highness..."
Murong Jin nodded slightly, and before leaving, she said only one sentence: "Women are just as capable as men."
Watching Murong Jin's departing figure, the woman's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Then, looking at the woman beside him, he said, "Sister, we finally have a chance to step out of that secluded mansion!!!"
"I want to see the whole world, just for myself!"
The woman next to him said, "I want to obtain an official position to serve the country and its people."
"Then let's work together!"
...
On the day the results of the palace examination were announced, two top scorers were found to have the same score, which caused a sensation throughout the capital.
"Two top scorers! This is the first time I've seen this. Who are they? They're so amazing!"
"Gu Zhuo".
“Zhao Wanwan…”
"A boy and a girl, and this little girl is the top female scholar!!!"
"That's amazing?"
"I find it hard to believe that a little girl could be so smart..."
"I saw the top three."
"There were two top scholars: the second-place scholar, Cheng Feifei, female, and the third-place scholar, Li Qingqing, female?"
"Wow, the second and third place winners are both girls!!!"
Finally, the scores and their results were announced...
"I'm completely convinced. It's a 100-point scale. Every question has a point value. As long as you meet the requirements and provide the answer, you'll get..."
"This is something I didn't expect. The people in the Ministry of Rites' Academic Hall have all acknowledged the achievements of these girls..."
The idea that women are inferior to men should have been abandoned long ago.
...
This year, there are more than twenty top scorers, the most in any year in history...
The selection process still involves choosing the top twenty candidates to enter the court, but these top twenty now comprise dozens of individuals…
...
"The response has been good. Although there is still some public opinion, time will tell."
Emperor Junlan: "You've been too busy lately and haven't had time to come to the palace to keep me company."
"Once this matter is resolved this year, we'll leave the rest to them. Besides, everyone is satisfied, but it has also made many people feel ashamed..."
Looking at the beaming person, Di Junlan knew that A Jin was very happy, a joy that came from the depths of her heart.
"Things are almost all settled, isn't it time to deal with me?"
Murong Jin stared at the aggrieved look on his face. "Let's get married before the New Year this year, in the name of the Emperor and Empress."
Okay~~~
Murong Jin was overjoyed, so tonight she would kiss the person in front of her to death first...
Oh, you could also say squeeze dry...
...
"Your Majesty, His Majesty did not attend court today?"
"I am in charge today. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Murong Jin's eyes showed a hint of guilt; he had only accidentally hurt the person...
...
The sleeping quarters.
Zhao Delin, holding a tube of ointment, said, "Ahem, Your Majesty, has this old servant entered?"
"You are not allowed to come in."
Having experienced so much, Zhao Delin understood everything. A smile played on his lips, but his voice remained calm. "But the Regent said your back hurts, and he sent this old servant to the Imperial Hospital early this morning to get medicine..."
"Just put the things on the table."
After Zhao Delin went inside, he put the things on the table and left.
After realizing that no one was in the hall, Emperor Junlan came out, supporting his waist.
Embarrassing.
While excitement is normal, I ended up straining my back at the very end...
The surprise in Ah Jin's eyes, in particular, made him feel utterly ashamed.
Unable to do anything, he could only nestle in Murong Jin's arms and sob...
Forget it, what's wrong with my woman being more capable than me? He's just a freeloader, the kind who's naturally gifted at it...
After applying the medicine, Di Junlan lay down on the bed to rest.
After court, Murong Jin, carrying some things in her hands, nodded to Zhao Delin before entering the palace.
A warm hand landed on his back and waist. Di Junlan turned his head to look at him. "You're back? Have those old bastards been targeting you?"
"With me here, they wouldn't dare utter a single word."
Di Junlan chuckled softly, then let out a muffled groan.
"Does it hurt?" Murong Jin's voice came from the bedside. Di Junlan was sullen.
"Am I out of shape? How did I manage to strain my back?"
Murong Jin blinked. Was it because she moved too fast?
