The system woke up from its sleep, dazed and groggy from the host's dragon bed. The first thing it did was to ask the host for food. Digesting too quickly was sometimes a problem.

Liang Chongyue had just sent away Li Yu'an, who came with a scroll. Looking at his forced smile, Liang Chongyue couldn't even bring himself to ask him to stay for dinner. He didn't want to coax the man.

"Host, this pile of things in front of you looks so familiar."

Half of the hair on the system's body was flattened. I don't know how it slept.

Liang Chongyue didn't want to pay attention to the system, but saw it curiously using its claws to open the scroll that had just been rolled up. Liang Chongyue looked at it speechlessly.

"Host, do you need me to investigate the identities of all these people? Please be sure to check every detail."

When the system said this, Liang Chongyue remembered something and thought that it should be able to eliminate most of the men here.

"Go check if they are virgins. This shouldn't be difficult for you. I'm sure you'll get the results quickly."

The system smacked its lips and opened all the scrolls, recalling the book on physiognomy it had just read a few days ago.

"I think this kid's face doesn't look good. His eyes are a little small and he looks listless. He must have been released in front of the portrait overnight."

Liang Chongyue didn't want to listen to the system's dirty words, so she picked up the cake at hand and threw it over.

"Go check quickly. I'll give you one hour. After one hour, I'll know the result."

The system's mouth was faster than its brain. It bit the pastry in one bite before realizing what it had just done.

Sitting next to the host, taking a sip of sweet milk tea from time to time, and eating a few pieces of dried meat, the life in the system is almost extremely happy.

The machine was running and querying, and the system put all the scrolls here into it at once. The machine had to wait for the unified results.

Bored, it saw the host still reading a book, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the host in confusion:

"Host, Liang Er presented such a great opportunity that day. Why didn't you take advantage of it and add a new method to save Qu Lian'er from the impending disaster?"

Liang Chongyue knew that the system was just bored and was just making small talk with her. If she didn't completely resolve the doubts in its mind today, she was afraid that it would bring it up and ask questions from time to time.

"Why should I make a new law just for one person?"

The system was stunned by the host's question:

"But there are many women like this in Daxia. Qu Lian'er is just a microcosm. Host, if you add one more clause to the new law to solve Qu Lian'er's urgent problem, perhaps thousands of women in Daxia will also be able to escape from an uncertain future because of this new law."

The system still has ideas at critical moments. Liang Chongyue recalled the disappointment of the system when it first bound to her and learned that she was a woman. When did the system begin to change its view of women?

Did he know that the bond could not be broken and he had to accept his fate? Or did he see in her the resilience and strength of a woman?

Maybe it's both.

Liang Chongyue wanted to casually answer the system, but when his peripheral vision caught its eager gaze, he put down the book in his hand and spoke to it solemnly:

"Because I have just ascended the throne, the emperor is far away. Only in the capital, because I am here, the status of women is slowly improving. Women in other parts of Daxia are still living in the old patriarchal society. I also want the world to respect women from now on, but the road must be taken step by step.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much I value women. Next year's Spring Examination is an opportunity for Qu Lian'er. If she passes and doesn't want to get married, she'll naturally take action. I'll naturally help her then."

"By then, countless women who want to break free from their cages will learn from me. But I cannot promulgate new laws just because she doesn't want to get married. If I intervene in matters of marriage, I may save her, but indirectly ruin the future of countless women."

Liang Chongyue did not explain the reason to the system in detail as she did before, and she did not know how many years it would take her to raise the status of women.

The system was right. There were thousands of Qu Lian'ers in the world who had no say in their own marriages, but when she was young, she spent money to set up girls' schools in various places in Daxia, so that one day she would stand in the highest position and personally open the way for women to rise. Then women could rely on their own abilities to climb the ladder that no one had ever climbed before.

After chatting with the system for a few words, Liang Chongyue picked up the book and started reading again. The system no longer had the same interest as before and began to seriously think about the meaning of the host's words.

An hour passed quickly, and the result Liang Chongyue wanted came out soon. Seeing the system open the panel, everything was as Liang Chongyue expected. There were indeed not many virgins in it. The queen mother selected twenty for her, and in the end there were only three clean ones.

But this just happened to suit Liang Chongyue's wishes. She had been worried that there were too many men in the palace, which would be detrimental to Minglang. Liang Chongyue found the portraits of the three men, rolled them up again, and called Yunling in.

"Send these three scrolls to the Queen Mother and tell her that I have made my selections. I do not want any of the others. Take the remaining scrolls and burn them."

There is no way for men to test their virginity, but that doesn’t mean Liang Chongyue will be a rotten cucumber.

Yun Ling retreated with the three scrolls in her arms. The Cining Palace and Kunning Palace had different reactions when they received the news.

In the Cining Palace, Xiang Huayue listened to Yun Ling's retelling and could already imagine Chongyue's expression when she was making her choice. Fortunately, there were still three left. She had been worried that Chongyue would not want any of them.

"Since the Emperor has made his choice, then these three scrolls should be given to the Queen. It is his responsibility to take care of matters such as the new bride entering the palace."

Yun Ling took the order and left. In Kunning Palace, Li Yu'an's mind was still constantly popping up with the twenty scrolls that suddenly appeared before his eyes. His Majesty had just ascended the throne not long ago, and Minglang was still so young. He used to think that His Majesty would have to wait at least a year before having a new person.

Just as I was thinking about it, Yun Ling walked in with the oral instructions from His Majesty and the Queen Mother:

"This servant greets His Majesty. These are the candidates His Majesty has chosen. His Majesty and the Empress Dowager have instructed that these three individuals should first be sent to the palace to learn the rules and regulations. All other matters will be handled by His Majesty."

After Yun Ling came, Li Yu'an suppressed his expression and looked at the scrolls in Yun Ling's hands. Compared with the pile that his mother had sent to his palace before, there were only three scrolls. Li Yu'an looked at them and his mood did not improve much.

Three paintings are much less than the whole pile, but if possible, who wouldn't want to be with their loved one forever? He used to think that he had been prepared for this, but when it really happened, he still felt sad.

"Yes, I obey your order."
