Before entering the palace, Shen Meizhuang confidently said that she had studied classic literature such as "The Book of Songs", "Mencius" and "Zuo Zhuan".

However, the mistress of the Shen family and the teaching nanny sent from the palace quickly reminded her with a smile: A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.

The emperor selected concubines in order to enrich his harem and reproduce his offspring, not to select people with knowledge.

Shen Meizhuang was confused and puzzled, but she could only change her words during the audition and say that she had only read "Nu Ze" and "Nu Xun" and knew only a few words.

From this we can see that even women from wealthy families only studied to learn how to read and do accounting. Even if they had talents, they had to hide them and were not allowed to show off in front of outsiders.

Men have extremely strict restrictions on women, even in terms of education, they have to restrict women, for fear that women will read too much and be difficult to deceive.

For example, "Mr." used to be a general term for teachers and educators, but when people hear the word "Mr.", their first thought is "Mr. is a man". As a result, when talking about a female Mr., we can only add the word "female" in front of "Mr." to indicate the gender of the Mr.

But if it is a male, there is no need to use the word "Mr.", because the word "Mr." has long been tacitly accepted by the world to refer to men.

When Jiang Pan learned that he was going to teach the princess, who was only four years old, he felt a lot of pressure, fearing that he would not teach well enough and would be blamed by the empress in the palace.

On the first day of officially starting the teaching team, Jiang Pan reviewed his lessons. He heard that Princess Zhaoyue had learned more than a thousand common Chinese characters by the age of four, and had her own opinions on poetry and prose. She could recite and explain their meanings without any problem.

You can even compose some simple poems.

Compared with adults, her poems are more spiritual and have the innocence of a child. To adults with great literary talent, her poems are plain and simple, but for a four-year-old child to be able to write them is already a great achievement.

Of course, these are all the results that Qingran deliberately compressed. In her previous lives, she did not do nothing but eat and drink, she also studied.

If she couldn't surpass the so-called genius even after studying for several lifetimes, then she might as well lose face as an old ghost who has lived for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately, Qingran had a bad memory and could not remember everything she learned forever, so when she started learning from scratch in this life, she was very serious and treated it as a review.

When Qingran learned that she would have a famous teacher to teach her, she was excited at first. However, when the teacher began to teach her and the first book was about women's rules, Qingran was completely stunned.

It would be fine if you didn't teach her literature, but why teach her all this garbage?

Jiang Pan didn't know that his words "Teach the princess the female precepts today" had displeased the princess. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she had to bite the bullet and continue teaching.

Especially when there was Concubine Hua sitting next to him, who was eyeing him covetously and was said to love her daughter dearly, Jiang Pan really wished he could turn into a brick and be embedded in the palace wall so that he wouldn't have to endure Concubine Hua's stern gaze.

"...Giving birth to a boy is called 'Nong Zhang', giving birth to a girl is called 'Nong Wa'; girls should obey men, as this is a manifestation of the harmony of yin and yang. Women should go to bed late and get up early, be diligent in managing the household, and work tirelessly..."

Jiang Pan broke down what she had been learning since she was a child and what she had been teaching to girls in the boudoir, and slowly told them. She looked nervously at Qingran, who had a wooden face.

Why does Princess Zhaoyue look unhappy?

Is she explaining it too complicatedly?

Jiang Pan breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously asked softly:

"Princess, do you understand what I said? If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know..."

Qingran sighed, "There's nothing wrong with what you teach, sir. The problem is the content itself. This princess doesn't want to learn women's rings. Why don't you teach something else, such as historical literature?"

It was the first time Jiang Pan heard a woman take the initiative to ask her to teach others. She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyebrows were filled with a little joy and a little fear. "The emperor only asked me to teach some things that women should learn."

Nian Shilan snorted coldly, and then Jiang Pan shuddered. Nian Shilan saw her pitiful appearance and knew that she was just a pitiful person. She did not make things difficult for her, but said:

"Just teach Zhaoyue whatever she asks you to teach. I will go and talk to the emperor myself."

"Yes." Jiang Pan breathed a sigh of relief and then began teaching normally.

As soon as Qingran started studying, she realized that the gentleman in front of her was truly knowledgeable, but it was overshadowed by the so-called books on women's virtues and training.

When she was teaching normally, there was light in her eyes.

Qingran enjoys learning and she also enjoys teaching.

Jiang Pan felt that the princess was quick-witted and often forgot that she was only a four-year-old child. Sometimes, when the princess expressed her own opinions in a baby voice, Jiang Pan would suddenly realize that his student was only four years old.

On this side, Qingran was eagerly learning and absorbing knowledge, while on the other side, An Lingrong was planning to become the queen in full swing.

one year later.

Another concubine became pregnant, and the queen secretly arranged for an abortion.

The Queen's schemes for inducing abortions usually involved using musk. If that didn't work, she would try to make someone fall into the water or be hit by something. Anything she did would leave traces.

Led by An Lingrong, they found evidence that the Queen was plotting to murder the heir to the throne. Concubine Qi was the vanguard. One day, they directly invited the Emperor to come, and he knelt at the foot of the main hall. With a stern face, they said:

"Your Majesty, I am going to report the Empress for plotting to murder the heir to the throne. This crime is unforgivable!"

Ever since she lost her child, Concubine Qi rarely showed her innocent look. Today was an important moment in the planning of her, An Lingrong and others. Concubine Qi knew that if she did this, either the Queen would be deposed or something would happen to her.

Snapped.

Yinzhen slapped Concubine Qi in the face and said, "How dare you."

Concubine Qi bravely looked the emperor in the eye and said, "What I said is absolutely true, and I have you sisters to testify to that."

As soon as she finished speaking, five concubines who had had abortions stood up. It can be seen that the queen has achieved remarkable results in the past two years, and the abortion business has been rising steadily.

In addition to the sisters' oral accounts, there was also evidence pointing directly to the Queen. An Lingrong covered her lips with a handkerchief, her brows curved, and she felt confident of victory.

The Queen naturally came out to argue, but the witnesses and evidence all pointed to the Queen, and Yinzhen believed it to 60%. He ordered the arrest of Jianqiu, Huichun, Jiang Fuhai and other personal maids who served the Queen and took them to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation.

Jiang Fuhai couldn't stand the beating and revealed almost all the bad things the queen had done.

Qingran felt that it was not enough, so she added fuel to the fire and gave Jianqiu a hallucinogenic pill. Jianqiu directly spat out the truth about the Queen killing Chunyuan.

Concubine Qi hesitated for a long time whether to hand it over, but she didn't have to hand it over directly because of the few clues that the Queen killed Chun Yuan, which unexpectedly saved Concubine Qi from the death penalty.

Concubine Qi was still too stupid. She didn't know that if she revealed that she knew about Chun Yuan, she would die miserably.

Jianqiu's accidental revelation actually saved Concubine Qi's life.

Of course, the naive Concubine Qi didn't know about this. She just thought that since Jianqiu said so, it would be better for her to mind her own business, so she suppressed the matter and never mentioned it to the emperor again.
