Her words were a bit flattering.

She didn't say why Jiang Yang died, she didn't say why the Jiang family fell to this point, and she didn't answer Leng Yuhe's question directly, explaining why Jiang Baoer was frightened that day.

She only said that Ying Ze ordered Jiang Baoer not to be admitted to the imperial examination for 20 years, which made people subconsciously feel that Jiang Baoer's current appearance is because of this oral order.

She uttered this piece of news that would be known to the court sooner or later. She wanted to divert everyone's attention and let others focus on Jiang Bao'er's inability to enter the imperial examination. Subconsciously, she ignored the question she originally wanted to ask.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuer immediately exclaimed:

"20 years?! No wonder Bao'er doesn't want to go back to the school. If he stays in the school, wouldn't he have to study for another 20 years before he can take the imperial examination? Uncle is too cruel, why don't you persuade uncle? No way , I have to go to the palace to beg my sister-in-law..."

While chattering, she seriously lifted the curtain of the carriage, wanting the coachman to take her to the palace.

However, Nan Zhihan, who was sitting beside her, stopped her and shook her head lightly.

Xiao Yu'er was puzzled, and wanted to lean out to order the coachman.

Nan Zhihan had no choice but to pull her back, and said helplessly:

"Don't go, it's useless to go."

Xiao Yuer was not convinced and said:

"I haven't been there yet, how do you know it's useless?"

Nan Zhihan gave her a chestnut, hating iron for failing to make a steel way:

"Don't even think about it. With the usual relationship between Rongrong and Bao'er, if you can persuade His Majesty, why would Rongrong allow His Majesty to do so? Rongrong is usually the most loved by His Majesty. If you can't even do anything about it, what's the use of going to the palace to ask the empress?"

Xiao Yuer suddenly realized:

"That's right! But no matter what, it won't make Bao'er unable to take the imperial examination for 20 years, right? Then when Bao'er can finally take the imperial examination, won't she become a bearded uncle? Isn't the Jiang family full of loyalty, Your Majesty How could you be so cruel?"

This time, Nan Zhihan didn't speak any more, she just pursed her lips and turned to look at Lou Rongrong.

With Lou Rongrong's ability to speak just now, she was able to deceive Xiao Yu'er, who was stubborn, and Ying Shihua, who was full of flowers, and the others were all exquisite.

Although Xiao Yu'er is pure and straightforward, this question focuses on the key question.

Yes, why is the emperor suddenly so mean to the loyal Jiang family?

Not only did the Jiang family's son-in-law go to the frontier to be tortured, but also Jiang Bao'er was barred from the imperial examination for 20 years, which was tantamount to directly pushing the Jiang family to the bottom of the valley without letting people look up.

Looking at Lou Rongrong's behavior, he clearly knew about this, but he didn't plead with Ying Ze—or, he couldn't plead for the Jiang family.

Not to mention Lou Rongrong, but they all came from aristocratic families, and they have been quite sensitive to such matters since they were young. After thinking about it for a while, they all understood Jiang Yang's sudden illness and sudden death.

Only Xiao Yu'er was left with a face full of confusion, so she looked at this and that, scratched her head and said:

"Are you talking? Why don't you talk? Don't everyone seem to know everything, but no one is willing to tell me? Why? Leng Yuhe? Rongrong?"

She asked them one by one, and finally Nan Zhihan who was sitting next to her couldn't bear it any longer, got up and pushed her back to the seat, and said earnestly:

"Don't ask, I can't tell you about this matter. If you really want to know, go home and ask your mother, your mother will understand immediately, and then you can just ask your mother."

Xiao Yu'er was confused and wanted to ask again, but Nan Zhihan rushed ahead of her and asked Lou Rongrong:

"Rongrong, you just said that the academy is short of manpower. It just so happens that in two days, the school assessment will be over. At that time, the few of us will come to the academy to help."

This is right in Lou Rongrong's arms, she nodded and said:

"The academy is indeed short of manpower. If you can come, it will be of great help."

Nan Zhiqian said from the side:

"Speaking of which, it doesn't seem like much time. The court has already decided how to evaluate the students of the academy?"

This is the point of asking.

Lou Rongrong's eyes dimmed:

"It is said that the examination papers will be issued in the form of provincial examinations. An examination institute will be set up to imitate Jinshi subjects for examinations. Then the papers will be pasted and transcribed, and several examiners will be asked to mark the papers."

Leng Yuhe was surprised:

"It's so harsh? How is this different from the provincial exams that students who have studied hard for many years? Let a group of girls who have only studied for a year take such a harsh exam, this..."

Nan Zhiqian heard this, but said:

"It's a good thing."

Leng Yuhe was slightly surprised, and turned to look at Nan Zhiqian, only to see that the latter said calmly:

"Now Lan Jingxuan, the rebel party, has been put to death, and the Li Wang party has also been wiped out. Although there are still voices in the court that disapprove of the academy, it is much less than before."

Nan Zhihan clapped her hands and smiled:

"I understand, what my sister means is that under conditions that are several times more relaxed than before, the imperial court still chose such a strict assessment method. It is not to make things difficult for the academy, but to block those who do not support the academy. In the future, once everyone in the academy passes the assessment, they will no longer be able to find those unfounded excuses to make things difficult."

Leng Yuhe was taken aback for a moment, and then said ashamedly:

"I never thought of this. I just thought that if the examination is too strict, the students of the academy might not be able to pass."

The always deserted Nan Zhiqian showed a rare smile:

"It's not your fault. Some things resonate more only as a woman."

"You only want to make it easier for everyone to pass the assessment, but you forget that it may be difficult for everyone in the academy to pass such a rigorous assessment, but what is even more difficult is that even if you pass the assessment, you still have to face The doubts and contempt of the people of the world. And the latter is often a bigger obstacle than the former. If you can fight back against those prejudices and contempt, how difficult is it?"

Lou Rongrong looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

She still vividly remembers the matter of the establishment of the academy and the matter of Nan Zhiqian donating all her belongings.

Nan Zhiqian, who had always been quite indifferent to other things, paid so much attention to the Girls' Academy, anyone could see her dissatisfaction.

She looked at it, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty promised me that if the Academy performs outstandingly in this assessment, it will issue a decree that all educated women in the world can also participate in the scientific examination from now on."

Nan Zhiqian looked up at her in surprise:

"Women can also participate in the scientific examination?"

Lou Rongrong nodded:

"Yes, and it's not like the sister of the Leng family. Only those who are recommended by important officials in the court can make a special case to participate. Women in the world, regardless of their native place, can take part in the scientific examination. If they come from a lowly family, they can leave after passing the exam. Low status, re-entry into good status."
