All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

The next day, Lin Ruan got up early. Li Changchun was already waiting outside the door. Hearing the noise, he hurried in to help her wash up and said with a smile, "Princess, you got up early today."

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "When the morning light shines, good things come. Get up at dawn to welcome good news."

Li Changchun asked curiously, "I wonder what good news the princess has?"

Lin Ruan didn't say anything directly, but said: "You will find out when you wait."

Sure enough, not long after the two of them had finished breakfast, the palace maid who was delivering the imperial decree arrived at the Princess's residence.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Princess Changle, Lin Ruan, possesses a profound understanding of righteousness and a long-standing chastity. She has assisted me with outstanding service and merit. She possesses exceptional talent, wisdom, and courage, and is a pillar of the state and a blessing to the people. This decree is issued to commend her.

In the past, Princess Changle had a keen eye for talent and presented books to the court. They are truly a national treasure, and I highly commend them.

Now, with the princess's recommendation, I specially grant the son-in-law Li Changchun the status of a Jinshi as a token of my favor.

Admire this! "

Li Changchun was stunned. He, he already had the title of Jinshi?

He slowly raised his head and stared at Lin Ruan who was kneeling in front of him to express his gratitude. He seemed to have thousands of words to say, but his throat seemed to be blocked by an invisible force. He opened his mouth, but found that he could not make any sound.

He couldn't say anything, but the system had plenty to say: "Host, how could you hand over such a good thing to Li Changchun!"

o(￣ヘ￣o#)

Obviously, the system was not satisfied with Linruan's decision.

Lin Ruan still wore her signature smile. She waved gently, signaling An Lan beside her to give some rewards to the palace servants. Then, after watching them walk away, she silently responded in her heart, "I am now the eldest princess, with a high status and no title can be given. If not to Li Changchun, who else can I give it to?"

The system had no favorable impression of Li Changchun. After all, with Xie Yunze's example, it felt that Li Changchun relied on his physical strength to rise to power, lacking in purity. Furthermore, this time, Li Changchun had benefited from Lin Ruan, which further displeased the system.

╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph!

Lin Ruan said calmly, "Originally, I was planning to have him take the imperial examination and seek fame. That way, I could divorce him naturally."

The system is very confused about this and can't figure out the connection.

Lin Ruan then further explained, "As for the reason for the divorce, I naturally can't blame myself. Even if people are dissatisfied, they absolutely dare not accuse me. Therefore, the only thing they can do is to put all the blame on Li Changchun. If other women want to divorce in the future, with Li Changchun as a precedent, those men would rather kill their wives than easily agree to a divorce."

"I'll secure him a title of merit, and then give him the credit for cultivating potatoes. That way, after we divorce, he'll be able to naturally become Minister of Agriculture. After all, positions like this don't place excessive emphasis on personal reputation."

"Next, if he gains meritorious deeds like those of corn and peanuts, then the malicious suspicion and slander he has endured will naturally be completely cleared. Only then can he serve as a role model for peaceful divorce and make the world accept peaceful divorce for women."

"Because only when they don't have to bear any losses or costs will the vast majority of men finally and willingly agree to divorce."

Lin Ruan continued, "Now that I've achieved fame, even if there's bound to be gossip and rumors, people will realize how much a capable wife can help. As a result, many men will be inclined to marry women with independent thinking and a certain level of cultural literacy. This way, women in secluded homes will receive more cultural education, and won't be forced to bury themselves in the so-called 'Women's Virtues' and other feudal dregs all day long."

She said, "Although I received the award, it was Li Changchun, a man, who benefited. The court officials will also be more supportive of going overseas. With more overseas trade and more silk cloth sold, merchants will inevitably hire more female textile workers. With more businesses available for women to participate in, the status of women will be further improved."

"besides..."

"Okay, okay, I get it, I get it," the system quickly interrupted Lin Ruan, and muttered, "It's just a circular world."

It doesn't understand that no matter how well Linruan does or how long-term it considers, what can it do?

Not to mention that the world will collapse and disappear after it absorbs all the energy, even if it absorbs slowly, it will only make the world cycle a few times according to the original rules.

Lin Ruan is like painting on the beach. No matter how good the painting is, as long as the waves come and go, it will still be the same beach.

It's just work in vain.

??? ??? ?

Lin Ruan didn't want to explain to it what it meant to have a goal in order to avoid being confused, nor did he want to tell it that the result was not important and what was important was what was learned in the process.

Because these are just excuses she made for herself.

She just couldn't fully control her thoughts, nor could she fully control her body. She only knew that if she didn't follow her thoughts, her body would get sick.

The system doesn’t understand. In fact, she doesn’t care about the result or the process at all. She only cares about whether she is happy.

Fortunately, Li Changchun came over at this time, bowed deeply to Lin Ruan, and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Lin Ruan said gently, "You don't blame me for blocking your future? Being granted the title of Jinshi isn't the right path after all. Not only will your future prospects be limited, but I'm afraid you'll be subjected to a lot of gossip."

Li Changchun said, "Wu Yu knew that a consort couldn't take the imperial examinations, so he studied only to gain knowledge and not let down his status as the consort of Princess Changle. Wu Yu never dared to force himself to achieve fame."

"As for the rumors," he said with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the princess. I've heard a lot of harsh words over the years since I was a child, but compared to the sour words I've heard since I came here, I'm really not afraid of them. Huaiyu is just grateful to the princess for such a contribution, but she only considers me."

Lin Ruan waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Since I have chosen you as my consort, I naturally have to consider you. Considering you is also for my own benefit. You don't have to be so grateful."

That's different, Li Changchun thought.

Lin Ruan chose him as her son-in-law, allowing him to live a stable life without worries about food and clothing.

However, the red and swollen lines on his back and the bruises on his body from being bound by ropes of various materials were the price Li Changchun paid for this.

He could thank Lin Ruan for allowing him to study, practice martial arts, play the flute and ride a horse.

This was something beyond Lin Ruan's promise, and it was a reward from her mercy.

He finally got what he had once longed for but could not get, and he was really grateful to Lin Ruan.

But Lin Ruan directly asked for fame and honor for him, which was something he had never dared to imagine. It was an accident and a surprise.

He actually got something he never dared to hope for.

Lin Ruan gave it to him so lightly, and even at this moment, the sense of unreality in his heart still enveloped him, as if in a dream.

Lin Ruan really doesn't care. She is just that kind of person. If she doesn't care, she will try her best to be nice to someone.

It's like I have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, I always feel that if something is missing, it will be imperfect.

Besides, it was such a good thing that she could kill two birds with one stone, so she wished she could do it more often.

The system listened to Lin Ruan's smug muttering, and looked at Li Changchun's expression, which seemed to be a replay of yesterday, as if it were happening again.

But it still dislikes Li Changchun, so it commented viciously:

"A fool ogles a monkey."

Lin Ruan didn't pay any attention to Li Changchun's expression. When he heard the system suddenly say this, he was a little confused: "What monkey?"

The system did not answer Lin Ruan, but it was very happy.

I scolded two people with one sentence, yeah~
