Chapter 141: Female Dominant Prodigal Son 24
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. During these three years, Lin Ruan had achieved nothing beyond the minor feat of determining the reign title for her ascension to the throne. She spent her days locked away in the small hall of the History Museum. Her attendants and reviewers came and went, leaving only three eunuchs with no rank or connections to work for her, occasionally helping her find books to read.
The Hanlin Academy was a place of nobility, but after a year or two, those who couldn't make it through were reduced to poverty. A young Hanlin was a prime minister, promising a promising future; an old Hanlin was a poor civil servant, penniless and without a future, vulnerable to abuse.
Many people laughed at Lin Ruan, who won the top three places in the imperial examination, as a flash in the pan. In the end, this amazing and talented top scholar was no different from them. After he entered the Hanlin Academy, it was like a river flowing into the sea, causing only a tiny splash, and then he was lost in the crowd.
At this moment, the dean was flipping through the handwritten book that Lin Ruan handed over, saying, "Did you write this? Have you been working on this for the past three years?"
What Lin Ruan took out was not the "Fengwu Chronicle", but a chronicle-style history book compiled based on the "Zizhi Tongjian" of this world and the history before Fengwu Kingdom. It was called "Tongjian Chronicle", which covered all the history from the unification of the goddess to the enthronement of the founding emperor of Fengwu Kingdom. There were nine volumes in total, and the dean took only one of them.
The dean asked again, "How much have you written? Which dynasty have you covered?"
Lin Ruan said respectfully, "My original intention was to write from the unification of the goddess to the enthronement of our country's founding emperor. Now I have completed all of them, a total of nine books."
Nine books? That works out to three a year, which is pretty impressive. Does Lin Ruan usually skip meals and sleep?
The dean flipped through the book in his hand and became more and more shocked. The records were very detailed, even touching upon some long-lost history, with the sources recorded in detail.
She looked up at the woman in front of her, her eyes full of admiration, "Such a masterpiece, you really put a lot of effort into it."
Lin Ruan bowed slightly, "This is my duty."
The dean was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "If this book could be passed down through the ages, it would surely become a classic. You have such talent, you shouldn't let it remain buried here."
After saying this, she placed the books in her hands on the table and said, "Send all the books here. I will check them and recommend you to His Majesty. I hope you can make a difference."
Lin Ruan was delighted and quickly thanked the dean. She had spent three whole years in that small hall, three years of hard work, all just for the dean's words, hadn't she?
System: "You've been slacking off for three years, okay? For each of these two books, didn't you just come up with a framework and genre, then treat me like an AI computer automatically writing them? If you're working hard, then prepare some reading notes and drafts for yourself!!!"
(/_\)
Lin Ruan was not someone who could be manipulated. He confidently said, "This is called electronic office. What the hell do you know?"
I'm so angry that I really want to delete these two books with one click!
(???皿??)??3??
This masterpiece, which others saw as a masterpiece that Lin Ruan had painstakingly compiled over three years, earned her two promotions, becoming a fifth-rank Imperial Academy reader and the title of Imperial Concubine. From then on, she took a crucial step forward: explaining classics to the emperor, observing discussions on state policy, and drafting imperial edicts.
However, although it sounds like a top priority position, there are actually six attendants in the Hanlin Academy, including Lin Ruan, and they are divided into two shifts, one group serving the emperor and the other group staying in the Hanlin Academy on standby.
The current emperor was only forty-three years old. Women in this world were known for their longevity, so this age was considered the prime of life. Perhaps power was the ultimate beauty; the emperor looked at least a dozen years younger than his actual age.
Whenever Lin Ruan saw her, he would be more respectful, just to make the beauty smile, and she didn't have any resistance in her heart like she did in the first world.
The emperor was also very optimistic about his own, the top scholar who had passed the imperial examinations. Firstly, her family background was very much in line with his preference: the Lin family had been a single-line family for five generations, and Lin Ruan had no large family behind her to either bolster her power or burden her. Secondly, the Lin family was not particularly poor, so after entering the court as an official, she would not need to rely on aristocratic families for her livelihood. These two factors combined made her a perfect candidate for the emperor's loyal minister.
Moreover, Lin Ruan was hardworking and down-to-earth. He remained silent for three years just to complete a history book. This kind of mentality made the emperor, who was used to seeing the intrigues among scholars, very satisfied.
As expected, he was worthy of being the top three scorer in the imperial examination, which was a blessing from heaven.
God help me.
Today was Lin Ruan's turn to be on duty, and she arrived early as usual. The emperor was busy handling government affairs, and Lin Ruan sat quietly beside him, reading a book.
After a while, the emperor looked up and said to Lin Ruan with a smile, "I heard that you plan to write a history of our Fengwu Kingdom in the same style as the Tongjian Jishibenmo. I wonder how much you have written?"
Lin Ruan stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am still reading and taking notes, and have not yet officially started writing."
The emperor nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin has excellent character and literary talent, and what he said to the eldest princess yesterday was also good."
The emperor now has only one princess and three princes, and the eldest princess is only five years old.
Lin Ruan smiled and said modestly: "It's just my humble opinion."
Yesterday, she was lecturing the eldest princess on "Young Learners of Qionglin," when she suddenly asked Lin Ruan a question: "Why don't men have to learn these? I heard from my eldest brother that he only studied four books when he was young, and he's only studied those four books now that he's grown up."
Lin Ruan said gently, "Because men will marry, they learn how to be a good servant and how to manage the harem. Women, on the other hand, are expected to build careers and achieve success. This is harder and more responsible than men, so they learn more."
The eldest princess then asked, "Why can't men achieve great things?"
Lin Ruan thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to talk about women being superior to men and men being sexually immoral to a five-year-old kid, so she took out a piece of cake and a pair of knife and fork.
He said softly, "Your Highness, please look. This Eight Treasures Cake is only for women. You can share it with the men, but it's only this big. If you share it, those who could have eaten it before won't be able to eat it anymore, and those who haven't eaten it before will crave more. Then next time, they won't wait for you to share the cake, but will directly snatch it away and eat it themselves. You can even stipulate that this cake can only be eaten by men and not women."
"And this pair of knife and fork is not only a weapon to protect your cakes, but also a tool to cut the cakes so that they are easier to eat. And your Highness also has a piece of cake that belongs to you. What you learn from reading is your knife and fork."
The eldest princess nodded, seeming to understand, and said in a childish voice, "I understand, Mr. Lin. I will study hard and protect my Gao Gao."
Lin Ruan smiled and said softly, "Your Highness, it's great that you think so, but you must not overwork yourself. You need to balance work and rest."
