Liuli chatted with Ye Jintang for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, the queen has really put a lot of effort into making sure the women of Tianqin can study."

"I can't help it. I have too many constraints. If they can't even read, they will always be trapped in ignorance."

"Girls' schools will not only teach them literacy, but also history, humanities, and even astronomy and geography. When they have more knowledge and learn more, their thoughts will advance and they will be able to break free from the shackles of this feudal society."

Liuli nodded slightly. The social status of women was really too low. Even unmarried women would be gossiped about behind their backs when they went out. This bad habit must be changed.

"I hope that we can see the status of women in Tianqin improved in our lifetime."

"Don't worry, you'll see it soon."

Ye Jintang smiled with her eyes curved. She was now the empress who could attend the morning court with the emperor. She had power in her hands. As long as she used it properly, within a few years, the social status of women would have a qualitative leap.

The first issue she proposed to change was the establishment of female households.

She was a little orphan when she first came to Tianqin Kingdom, and she had truly tasted the bitterness of it.

If she had not been so powerful at that time, all the property left to her by her parents would have become the Danyang Marquis Mansion, and she would have been at the mercy of the Danyang Marquis Mansion.

The root of all this is that the laws of the Tianqin Kingdom clearly state that orphans cannot inherit their parents' property. If they have no brothers, the property can only be inherited by their uncles, grandparents.

If these relatives do not exist, then the property will be confiscated by the clan.

This is also the main reason why every family wants to have a son. It’s not that people don’t like girls, but there is really no other way.

Ye Jintang had wanted to abolish this law a long time ago, but the matter involved a lot of big things. It was a custom that had been deeply rooted in the Tianqin Kingdom for hundreds of years. If Ye Jintang wanted to abolish it, it would not be something that could be solved with just a few words.

She had been looking for an opportunity to solve this problem once and for all, but the opportunity never appeared, so the matter had to be postponed again and again.

Ye Jintang and Liuli finally got out alone. After lunch, she was not in a hurry to return to the palace, but went to the Medical School for Girls.

The Medical Girls' School had been in operation for many years and everything was extremely mature. As soon as Ye Jintang entered the School, he heard a group of young girls reading out the names of medicinal herbs aloud.

"Are you reading Compendium of Materia Medica?"

"Yes, this year we enrolled a group of seven-year-old girls, and they couldn't read. I asked the teacher to give them this Compendium of Materia Medica to study. Once they have learned it, they will not only be able to recognize many characters, but also memorize it. This is simply killing two birds with one stone."

"This is a good idea. It's more practical than just reciting the Three Character Classic."

Nowadays, many children are taught to read Three Character Classic. In Ye Jintang's opinion, how can a 6 or 7-year-old child understand the contents of the Three Character Classic? At best, the Three Character Classic is just a literacy book.

The Medical School for Girls has been expanded many times and is now divided into three courtyards. The front one is for younger girls, who basically focus on learning to read and identify medicinal materials.

The courtyard in the middle is for the older girls, who are beginning to learn how to make medicine. They need to master all kinds of pills and powders within a few years.

The last courtyard is where the female medical apprentices are. Some of them become medical apprentices after three years, while others are still medical apprentices after five years. They have learned all kinds of knowledge, but whether they can become a qualified female doctor depends on their talents.

Walking along the way, looking at the girls in uniform, Ye Jintang felt warm in his heart.

Every female doctor who walks out of here can help countless women get rid of various diseases.

"You have a nice environment here, and you have planted many fruit trees."

Ye Jintang came in through the gate and saw seven or eight grape trellises, two wisteria trellises, and too many flowers to count.

"These are all grown by the medical apprentices themselves."

"It seems that everyone likes to eat grapes. Tomorrow I will have someone send you a few delicious grape seedlings. I guarantee that you will be able to eat delicious grapes in the fall."

"I would like to thank Her Majesty on behalf of the students of the Medical School for Girls."

Naturally, anything Ye Jintang could give away would be extremely good, and Liuli was even a little looking forward to it.

Ye Jintang strolled around the Medical Girls' School for half an afternoon. Seeing that the huge school was managed in an orderly manner by Liuli, she felt more at ease. She felt that Liuli would definitely manage the girls' school well in the future.

This was the first time that An An and Nuan Nuan left Ye Jintang. On the first day, Ye Jintang went out for a walk before returning to the palace.

"Brother Xiao, I just miss An An and Nuan Nuan a little bit now."

After dinner, Ye Jintang felt depressed.

Just now, only her three sons were present during dinner. Ye Jintang felt empty inside. Normally, she could always hear Nuannuan's chirping during dinner, but now it was suddenly so quiet that she really couldn't get used to it.

"It's only the first day and you're like this. What are you going to do in the years ahead?"

Xiao Mo felt both amused and distressed when he saw Ye Jintang frowning. He also missed his two daughters very much.

"Well, I can only adapt slowly."

The more they talked, the more worried they became.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ye Jintang's mind.

"Brother Xiao, let's go check on An An and Nuan Nuan and see what they do at night?"

Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang's excited expression and nodded helplessly.

"We can only take a look quietly and come back right away?"

"it is good."

Yulin Academy was not far from the imperial palace, and the two soon arrived at Yulin Academy.

Xiao Mo's kung fu was quite good. Without disturbing anyone, he easily took Ye Jintang to find the place where An An and Nuan Nuan were having evening classes.

"This evening class is to make folding fans?"

Xiao Mo, who was lying on the wall, was a little confused. Why were they making folding fans so late at night?

"This is called a handicraft class. You can't all go back to sleep after dinner. Evening classes are like some small entertainment activities. Today it's handicrafts, tomorrow it could be painting, singing, etc."

"Uh, can you also teach singing?"

Xiao Mo didn't understand even more.

"Singing is also a form of entertainment, just like everyone reciting poetry and composing couplets."

"Oh."

Although Xiao Mo didn't quite understand what Ye Jintang said, he was definitely right.

Girls from wealthy families may not know how to make folding fans, but when it comes to painting fan leaves, every one of them is pretty good at it.

From a distance, Ye Jintang saw An An and Nuan Nuan sitting together and painting a lotus. There was a frog squatting on the lotus leaf that Nuan Nuan had painted.

An An looked at the chubby frog on the warm lotus leaf and laughed, wondering if she wanted to eat bullfrog hotpot.

A round-faced little girl nearby also came over. She really liked Nuannuan's fat frog and praised her a lot.

The three little girls were laughing together, looking so happy.
