Never divorce, never stop getting rich

"Panshi Academy!"

Before the eunuch finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "Have you heard? The students from Panshi Academy who made it to the finals have been kidnapped. They're definitely going to lose the finals!"

At first, no one could hear what he said clearly, but word soon spread among the crowd. Many people pulled each other to ask questions, and some even ran off the stage to seek answers from the manager in the venue.

"What's going on? Is the Rock Academy also going to change people?"

"Replace someone? It's a miracle that their academy can gather five such clowns. If they want to replace someone, who should they replace? Will the teachers come up?"

"Maybe it's true. I just heard that none of the families of these five people came. Something must have happened."

Wu Youcai leaned against the person next to him and felt that he could only exhale but not inhale.

His companion was terrified and was about to help the man out to see a doctor.

"No!" Wu Youcai grabbed his companion's sleeve and said fiercely, "I...I want to see if it's really a replacement."

"Whether they change players or not, those academies are shameless. We can't possibly win!"

His companion tried to persuade him gently, thinking that if he didn't take the man away, he might die here if he saw something more exciting.

"They're out! The people from Rock Academy are out!"

It was also a student uniform, and the color and other things were no different from the previous preliminary round, but everyone on the stage felt that something was wrong.

Until someone excitedly said, "This is a women's skirt. These five people are girls!"

"Wu Youcai? Second Brother? What's wrong with you?! Don't scare me!"

"No! My money!"

Wu Youcai rolled his eyes and fainted completely.

The appearance of those girls was like water drops falling into a frying pan, and everything exploded.

Not to mention Tang Country, even the surrounding foreign countries, which country in the past dynasties would have women come to participate in such activities? Even if Tang Country degenerates and makes a woman the emperor,

Also because Tangguo is not a strong country among its neighboring countries, no one cares about the changes in this country.

But now it is different. It is a fact that is right in front of us. In the academy competition of Tang State, Panshi Academy sent a group of women after the students who participated in the preliminary round were unable to attend.

"It's just nonsense!"

The Grand Secretary Shangxian, who was sitting below the Empress, slammed the table and stood up, then turned around and bowed to the Empress, saying:

"Your Majesty, this Rock Academy is truly disrespecting the imperial court and deceiving the emperor. They actually sent several young ladies to compete in this prestigious academy competition. This is simply... simply disgraceful!"

The empress glanced at him indifferently, then looked at the others, all of whom had expressions of disapproval on their faces.

Even though some people would stand behind her in politics, they would still be angry and uncomfortable when ordinary women gained the rights that ordinary men had.

That is something that comes from the bones. It is the shackles that men have put on women for hundreds and thousands of years.

Therefore, no matter whether the emperor is male or female, he or she must fight for the interests of this patriarchal society. This seems to have become a convention.

She looked at the eldest princess again. It was rare that this woman who had been fighting with her since childhood did not say a word. She didn't even say the sour words she usually loved to say. As expected, there was no stupid person here.

"It was just a competition. Other academies made substitutions midway, and Grand Secretary Shangxian didn't object. Other academies concealed the quality of their substitutes, and Grand Secretary didn't object either. But just because a few young girls came to Panshi Academy, Grand Secretary became so angry.

Could it be that the Grand Secretary is afraid of people from other academies and can't even compare to a girl?"

Prime Minister Pei lit a cup of tea, the tea smoke curled up, calming people's hearts. He glanced around, repeatedly seeing the people opposite him, the dirty hearts buried deep inside.

The empress suddenly laughed.

"Today, we are all just spectators, so why bother arguing?"

The people from the four major academies were also confused when they saw these girls. The deans of the academies stood up and went to ask the eunuchs for instructions. The eunuchs had already received instructions from above and asked the deans to go back.

"What are you panicking about? Are you afraid of losing to those girls on the other side?"

Shao Ziyang from Qingyun Academy was not angry at all. Instead, he asked curiously, "Those yellow-haired girls across the way, aren't they only ten years old? Have they reached the age of marriage yet?"

Li Luo, the champion of Jiangsong Academy, had a long face. He had come here to compete formally with the students of Panshi Academy and leave a good impression in front of the empress.

Who knew that the people across from him were actually a group of women who only knew how to embroider? Shouldn't these women have been locked up in the backyard long ago, waiting to get married and have children?

If he wins, it will become a lifelong shame.

The rest of the students were obviously unhappy. They felt that the words "unfair victory" were already engraved on their foreheads.

"Today's final competition is for policy discussions. You have one stick of incense to think about. The topic is about building a nation and maintaining national security. Should we develop the economy or the military?"

As soon as the question was given, the two contestants entered the competition area and stood on either side of the incense burner. One was a young talent who had won the imperial examination.

The one opposite him was thin and skinny, with a shriveled face and a big head. Not to mention being beautiful, even compared to an ordinary person, she looked a little weak.

Only that pair of big eyes seemed particularly smart. I don’t know where Panshi Academy found such a refugee.

"Jiangsong Academy, Li Luo, advocates prioritizing military affairs over economics."

Li Luo skillfully saluted the empress first, and then bowed to the opposite side.

"Pan...Panshi Academy, Chu Zhao...Chu Xiaonan, advocates prioritizing economy over military!"

Chu Xiaonan's palms were full of sweat, and she almost said the wrong word just now. It was not only because she was nervous, but also because her new name was changed by her mistress on the day she entered the academy.

Her original name was Chu Zhaodi. She was not well fed and clothed at home. Later, because she had a younger brother, her family sold her to a human trafficker for one hundred yuan.

She didn't have a good life and didn't know what her special talents were, but the lady thought she could do it and asked her to memorize a lot of words, so she could do it.

Even though she had just begun to learn to read, even though she was not used to being in such an environment where people paid attention to her.

But the lady is right. As long as they are the first to speak out, more girls will speak out. As long as millions of girls in this world can speak out, there won't be so many girls with miserable lives being abandoned.

Qian Qiansui's smile has never disappeared since Chu Xiaonan stood on the stage. Even Princess Yongle found it a little creepy. There was complacency, arrogance, and a secret joy in that smile. It was really too complicated.

"Come on, little Chuchu baby, let them see your mouth."

Just kidding, this girl has a very good memory. She can listen to all the questions that the system has predicted in the past few days and then repeat them.

More importantly, although this girl looks petite and weak, her voice and speaking speed are unmatched by ordinary people.
