The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 701: It seems to weigh a pound
Nowadays, flowers are blooming everywhere in the capital despite the chill of spring. The entire Chang'an Avenue is full of flowers and is thriving.
The woman who fainted on the roadside woke up, said goodbye to the old woman, and turned to go in the opposite direction. Without Liang Chongyue's signal, Ping An quickly caught up with her after she turned into a fork in the road.
"Girl, please stay."
A shrill voice came from behind her. Bai Fu had just eaten something and felt a little better now. She turned around and looked back. What she saw was a face that looked very honest, but the expression was a little too gentle. Her father was a doctor, and she noticed something was wrong at a glance.
"Who are you? What do you do?"
Ping An caught up with the person and saw that the girl was frightened and immediately stopped. She stood three steps away from the person before continuing:
"My mistress loves reading, but she's been bogged down by trivial matters and hasn't been able to take the imperial examinations. Today, I saw the young lady fainted on the ground with her bookcase on her back, so I came to ask if she's going to the capital to take the exams."
Bai Fu had just been rescued, and her vigilance towards strangers had decreased a little. When she heard that the visitor was asking about this matter, she reached behind her, supported her bookcase, and nodded silently.
When Ping An saw this, he immediately took out the silver that His Majesty had given him:
"This is a little change my master prepared for me to give to you. The imperial examination will be held in ten days. Please take care of yourself."
Seeing this, Bai Fu quickly waved her hands and took several steps back:
"How can I accept these things when we are not related? I remember your master's kindness, but I cannot accept this money."
Ping'an has been with His Majesty for a long time and had long guessed that the girl would have such a reaction.
"My master said that anyone who can pass the Tongshi and Xiangshi exams in just one year is definitely not an ordinary person. I only hope that you can achieve your wish. It will bring honor to all women in the world. This little bit of silver is nothing."
After saying that, Ping An strode forward and stuffed the bag of silver directly into the girl's arms, then immediately stepped back, leaving only one sentence:
"The capital is crowded these days, so remember not to trust strangers, or you'll end up losing your way halfway."
The silver in her hand was heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Bai Fu wanted to chase after him and return it to him, but the man disappeared after turning a corner. She suddenly ran out, attracting several gazes towards her.
Bai Fu could feel someone's eyes on the purse in her hand. Since her benefactor was gone, she could only turn around immediately, put the things away, and remember this favor in her heart, hoping that she could really get what she wanted, and maybe meet her benefactor again in this capital city one day.
When I returned safely, I saw His Majesty still standing at the window, looking down, and hunched over.
"Your Majesty, I have already given the silver to the girl. She refused to take it at first, but I forced it on her."
Liang Chongyue nodded slightly in response, then looked down for a moment longer before turning to Li Yuan and saying,
"Have you finished eating?"
Li Yu'an noticed that His Majesty seemed to be troubled by something between his eyebrows and responded:
"Now that we're done eating, Your Majesty, if you're tired, let's go back to the palace."
"I still have some unfinished business, please go back."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhao, who was waiting outside, walked downstairs to drive the carriage to the door to facilitate His Majesty and His Highness to leave.
After getting on the carriage, Liang Chongyue leaned against the inner wall to rest, and did not open his eyes until the carriage returned to the palace:
"Send the Queen back to Kunning Palace. I was busy the past few days and didn't have time to take care of you. I will visit you later."
Li Yu'an guessed that His Majesty might be worried about what he saw in Wangjiang Tower today. It is indeed not easy for women in this world.
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
Li Yu'an didn't say anything else. Since His Majesty was busy, he would go to tutor Minglang in his studies. When His Majesty was done, he would remember him.
On the way back to the palace, Liang Chongyue had already arranged for the system to investigate the affairs of Qiyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. It was a nunnery with a quiet and peaceful environment, filled with women. It was not far from the capital, so it was most appropriate to arrange the women who came to Beijing to take the exam there.
With a "beep" sound, the panel appeared in front of Liang Chongyue. It seemed that the system had produced the result.
Liang Chongyue opened the file that had just been sent to her. The system checked clearly that nothing bad had happened in Qiyun Temple since its establishment. It was famous far and wide. For those women who went to the capital alone to take the imperial examination, it was indeed a good place.
Liang Chongyue took out the imperial edict from the cabinet and wrote with a flourish:
"The Qiyun Temple outside the capital was ordered to set up rooms for women going to the capital to take the imperial examinations. For each woman who was accommodated, the temple would receive a reward after the examinations were over. All women who had gone to the capital to take the imperial examinations could teach at the major women's academies in Daxia. If anyone disrespected the etiquette and bullied the women in the academy, their academic achievements would be stripped and they would be demoted to a lowly rank..."
When Liang Chongyue handed the imperial edict written and stamped with the imperial seal to Ping'an, Ping'an was not surprised at all.
Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs these days. He finally cleared up the backlog of government affairs from last year and had half a day off, but he returned to the palace before he had much time to play. There must be something to do, otherwise Your Majesty would have stayed outside until dark, and might not even return to the palace.
"Put it outside the Imperial Examination Hall. I want all the examinees to see it."
Students who went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations might not be able to tour the entire city, but the first place they went to must be the Imperial Examination Hall. At least they had to know their way around before taking the exam.
There is an imperial edict there, which all candidates can see.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
Ping An took the imperial edict and left. Liang Chongyue threw away the pen in his hand, leaned back on the dragon throne, and thought about things here and there.
When the imperial edict was issued that day, everyone in the capital had already known that His Majesty intended to raise the status of women. The impact of this imperial edict was not as shocking as the precedent set by His Majesty in allowing women to take the imperial examinations.
People took turns to come to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall to watch the excitement, and the men left after watching. Her Majesty is a woman, and women help women. What else can they, as men, dare to say?
If I tell you, I'm afraid my life will be in danger. If I have to blame someone, I have to blame the late emperor's incompetent sons. They couldn't even win over a woman. They fought over and over again, but still couldn't win. Otherwise, we wouldn't be living like this today.
Most of the people who stayed to watch were women. The orange-red sky reflected by the afterglow of the sun in the sky also shone on the faces of the women who came to see the list.
Everyone understands His Majesty's painstaking efforts and knows how difficult it has been for His Majesty to come this far. Everyone's face is filled with the glow of hope and longing.
Bai Fu stood in the crowd, holding the steamed buns she had just bought in her hand. She ate while looking at the imperial edict and silently shed tears.
When she was young, she wanted to study. Her mother was worried that the family did not have enough money, so she advised her that it was useless for girls to study, and that only if her brothers could study well would she have a support in the future.
