Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

The Ministry of Rites selected an auspicious day and issued an edict of repentance and abdication for Yuwen Yang. An Yan officially ascended the throne as emperor and changed the country's name to Da'an.

At the first court meeting, An Yan announced the opening of a special imperial examination and allowed women to take the exam.

Some court officials, led by Left Censor-in-Chief Yuan Gu, strongly opposed it.

Most people accepted it well. After all, with the examples of An Yan and Yang Xueqing, and the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce, there was a real lack of manpower.

So the voices of opposition were temporarily suppressed.

They could only wait for the results of this exam to come out before persuading the empress to give up.

An Yan knew that they were dissatisfied, so she thought of letting Yang Xueqing participate as well. With her ability, wouldn't she be able to crush them?

Yang Xueqing used what she learned from the book and combined it with local conditions to perfectly complete the disaster relief mission, which impressed everyone.

Now she has returned to the palace.

The concubines gathered in the Yonghe Palace of Concubine Xian to listen to her talk about what happened on the road.

An Yan didn't have a harem, so it didn't matter if her former concubines lived there. She wanted to give them a good home, so she wasn't in a hurry to arrange them out.

When An Yan arrived, Yang Xueqing was speaking enthusiastically, and the others were also listening with longing.

"Your Majesty, you are here!" Concubine De Fang Shengyi was sharp-eyed and immediately saw An Yan who came in quietly.

An Yan stopped them from saluting and stated her purpose directly, "Do you want to leave the palace?"

"Yes! Of course I do!"

An Yan smiled and took out a stack of deeds. "Zhong Xiu, I have an agreement with you. These are several farms with excellent farmland in the suburbs of Beijing. They are all under your name. You can plant whatever you want."

"Shengyi, I remember you wanted to specialize in cooking. These two properties are in excellent locations in the capital, perfect for opening a restaurant. They're yours."

Zhong Xiu and Fang Shengyi were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. "Thank you!"

"Xueqing, Qianyue, are you willing to serve as officials in the court?"

Yang Xueqing had tried to put it into practice and was not satisfied with just talking about it on paper. It would be great if she could become an official.

Concubine Qian Wu Qianyue was happy but a little nervous, "Can I?"

An Yan nodded and said, "You are quite capable, as evidenced by your handling of palace affairs."

In fact, based on Yang Xueqing's achievements, it would not be excessive to directly give her an official title, but it would be more satisfying to slap her in the face only if she is crushed.

"I hope you will participate in this Enke and bring honor to women!"

Yang Xueqing agreed solemnly, and Wu Qianyue also nodded.

Wanpin He Wanru now looked much more relaxed and at ease. Meeting Anyan's gaze, she said bravely, "Needlework is the only thing I'm proficient in. If possible, I'd like to open an embroidery shop."

An Yan readily agreed and asked someone to find a better location.

The future that everyone longs for is within reach. Their smiles become brighter and brighter, and they talk about Yuwen Yang and Xiao Cui while chatting and laughing.

In fact, An Yan did not kill him. Yuwen Yang was sent to the cold palace to accompany Xiao Cui. Of course, true love means being together forever.

I just wonder what Yuwen Yang, who was told that he had been sterilized, was thinking when he had to face Xiao Cui, whose belly was already bulging, and the guard who was from the same hometown as her and who was guarding the gate of the cold palace but always took care of Xiao Cui, was thinking?

This time, they will never step on other people's corpses to love each other until old age.

The long-awaited imperial examination has finally arrived.

The scale of this examination was unusually large, and the enthusiasm of the candidates was unprecedentedly high.

The woman seized the opportunity to prove herself and change her destiny.

The man was confident that he had studied hard for many years and would not lose to the woman. He also worked hard in secret.

One hundred candidates will be selected to enter the palace examination.

The list of 100 people has been finalized, but the candidate for the top scorer is slightly controversial, so the choice is placed in front of An Yan.

An Yan carefully read the two articles. Each had its own merits, and the writing and argument were both noteworthy. Because the arguments were from different angles, the examiners also had different biases.

She recognized that Yang Xueqing's handwriting was more beautiful, but to be honest, the other one was written in a sharper font and was more comprehensive.

An Yan did not show favoritism, but instead chose the article that appeared to be written by a man as the winner.

After removing the name, we found out that it was actually created by a woman named Yuan Yuan.

What a surprise!

Someone poked the arm of Left Censor-in-Chief Yuan Gu and asked, "Sir Yuan, is this a woman from your clan?"

Yuan Gu's smile froze, and he widened his eyes. Yuan Yuan? Isn't she his eldest daughter?

"Oh~ It's from Lord Yuan's family? I wronged Lord Yuan. It turns out that you are not really against women taking the imperial examinations. You are just trying to avoid suspicion, right?" An Yan's smile was meaningful.

The officials who also opposed him looked at him like a traitor. Yuan Gu felt aggrieved. He only knew that the illegitimate son took the exam, but he didn't know when the legitimate daughter went!

After they left, An Yan prepared to look at the remaining papers. After looking at the first one, she felt relieved.

After the court meeting, a group of people did not leave and stood in front of An Yan.

"Anything else?" An Yan asked in confusion.

Prime Minister Liu cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for over a year, but he still hasn't filled his harem and has no children. This is of no benefit to the succession of the country. I implore Your Majesty to select a concubine."

Others agreed.

They already knew that An Yan was not pregnant and realized that they had been deceived, but there was nothing they could do.

An Yan hadn't expected this. "The palace examination hasn't even started yet, but the preparations are complete? Do you even have time to think about this?"

The Grand Tutor bowed, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The palace examination has been arranged."

Prime Minister Liu smiled kindly, like a big-tailed wolf luring a little lamb.

"Your Majesty, there is no conflict between these two matters. Now is the time when young talents from all over the country are gathering in the capital. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to meet them?"

"I have seen some candidates while I was away. They are talented and elegant gentlemen. Your Majesty can take a good look at them during the palace examination."

"That won't work. Those who can enter the palace examination are all talented people in our dynasty. They will be the backbone of the court in the future. How can they enter the harem?"

"If the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, wouldn't that be a waste of their talents? In my opinion, let's focus on the failed candidates!"

"Are you implying that the Emperor is only worthy of someone without talent? That's extremely disrespectful!"

……

Before An Yan could say anything, they had already started arguing.

"That's enough. The matter of establishing an imperial husband is of great importance. I know what's going on. You don't need to worry."

The ministers stood on a united front again, "Then it's okay to choose some concubines first!"

Listening to the chatter, An Yan was very annoyed and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Well, Liu Aiqing, I heard that your eldest son is extremely talented and famous; Liu Aiqing, your second son is innocent and lovely; Yuan Aiqing, although your son is a concubine's son, he heard that he has inherited your true teachings and has always been good."

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" She was really good at choosing people. Either he was the pillar of the family, the treasure in her heart, or the only son.

"Oh?" An Yan looked at them one by one jokingly, poking at the heart of their hearts, and each time he poked them, no one said a word.

"Then do you have anything else to say?"

The ministers looked at each other in silence.

But someone stepped out, bowed, and said, "I invite you to enter the palace!"
