The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Xu Miaoyi was so angry that her tone was a little aggressive. "It happened so long ago, could it be that my cousin still holds a grudge against me?"

Who knew Song Lingxi was such a vicious person?

When they were just friends, Lingxi was a kind-hearted woman and was very good to her.

Xu Miaoyi felt from the bottom of her heart that Song Xiwan was behind all the things that happened later, which forced Lingxi into a desperate situation.

The same is true for her now!

Xu Xiaoyong scolded coldly, "Your cousin has been living away from home since she was a child, yet you chose to hang out with that Miss Song. It's normal for her to have some grudges."

Xu Miaoyi looked at Xu Xiaoyong disappointedly, but still did not refute as she did before.

She chose to swallow her anger for the time being, "I know I did something wrong."

Xu Xiaoyong's expression improved a little, and he left with a cold snort.

Xu Miaoyi stomped her feet in anger and cursed a few times.

This crazy look made Lan's eyebrows jump, and she was a little scared. She reminded carefully, "Miaoyi, why don't you just forget about this matter? The prince has no interest in you at all."

She was sent back in disgrace today. I think Song Xiwan should know what Miaoyi is thinking. If this continues, she will really be sent back to her hometown in Qinghe.

“It doesn’t count!”

Xu Miaoyi's face was full of paranoia, and she lowered her voice to remind him, "Mom, Dad used to care about you and me the most, but now it has become Song Xiwan. Are you willing to accept this?"

This……

Lan was speechless.

There was nothing she could do even if she was unwilling. Caring about someone couldn't make a living. She didn't want to be sent back to her hometown in Qinghe at all.

Xu Miaoyi didn't expect to get Lan's answer at all. She just kept talking to herself, "Your Highness was just temporarily blinded by Song Xiwan. All men in the world love the new and dislike the old!"

She will definitely seize the opportunity.

Lan wanted to persuade her, but Xu Miaoyi didn't give her the chance and turned away.

"Eh!"

Looking at that resolute figure, Lan felt uneasy.

I don’t know what else Miaoyi plans to do.

……

After some time, the news of the girls' school spread.

This has caused many people to wonder——

"Haven't women always been able to study in academies and serve as officials? What's so different about this women's school?"

"From what I've observed, this is probably a special academy for women to take the imperial examinations and obtain a good reputation."

"That's too unfair! How can a woman understand political theory? The imperial examination questions will surely be much simpler. What will the talented scholars who have studied for ten years do?"

"That's right! Who on earth came up with the idea of ​​women's education? Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Why are they taking men's jobs?"

"..."

The protests are growing louder.

Song Xiwan was officially appointed as the Imperial Censor, responsible for supervising and promoting this matter, becoming the first woman to be officially appointed to an official position in the Great Xia Kingdom.

When these two things came together, those talented people became even more panicked.

He starts from the third rank!

It is difficult for a normal talented person to go from taking the imperial examination to becoming an official, let alone a third-rank official. It is good enough to have some status.

Although Song Xiwan had won the first place in the previous two exams, she had never participated in the palace examination. Just because the emperor is a woman, Song Xiwan is also a woman and can become a third-rank imperial censor.

What will they do in the future?

Many talented men complained, and some doggerel poems implying Song Xiwan spread throughout the capital. After all, they did not dare to scold the empress.

They all said that Song Xiwan was incompetent.

Song Xiwan knew it, but didn't intend to respond.

The interests of all parties are involved in this. No matter what you say, it will give the other party the opportunity to press on. Once you continue arguing, it will only be a waste of time.

What Song Xiwan didn't expect was that she was targeted at the morning court.

As soon as the issue of promoting girls' education was mentioned, an official immediately stood up to persuade them: "We have just fought a war, and we don't know what actions Cangguo will take next. The weather in the north has been bad recently, and it hasn't rained for a long time..."

Song Xiwan interrupted his chattering in a calm voice, "Master Li, what exactly do you want to say?"

Lord Li looked displeased.

How come she is so arrogant just after becoming the Imperial Censor?

But with all the civil and military officials present, Lord Li couldn't afford to take advantage of his seniority, so he continued, "The treasury is empty. Setting up a girls' school would be too expensive. Besides, there are already girls in the existing academy. Why bother with this?"

These words again.

Song Xiwan's face showed no strange expression. She asked in a very calm voice, "Is this unnecessary?"

Lord Li snorted coldly, "Dang..."

Song Xiwan didn't intend to listen to his nonsense and continued directly, "Master Li, do you know how many women take the imperial examinations every year? And how many of them succeed? Literary poetry gatherings and so on have always been dominated by men, and women don't even have a chance to speak. Women's schools are meant to correct this mindset for women and provide them with a good path to study and become officials."

The cold voice resounded in the court, and every word was deafening.

Lord Li was very ashamed and angry!

This Song Xiwan actually insulted him again and again.

He just opened his mouth to refute, and Song Xiwan spoke again, "And if you have any opinions about me, you can come to me. Of course, you have to pass the imperial examination with better results than me."

Not to mention winning three prizes in a row, there are not many who win even two prizes.

The other officials all looked embarrassed and felt a little bit implied.

Lord Li's words were blocked again and again, and he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, especially since his imperial examination results were not as good as Song Xiwan's, which was even more humiliating!

"you……"

"it is good!"

From above, Xie Qingyuan's voice was full of vigor, and she applauded, "What Lord Song said is extremely reasonable. The promotion of women's education is unstoppable."

The emperor has expressed his position, and the other officials are helpless.

Not to mention that there are Song Wenyi and Song Junling, whose official positions are higher than theirs.

Just one look from each person is enough to intimidate.

This thing really can't be stopped.

After leaving court.

As Song Xiwan was about to leave the palace, her father kept nagging and scolding Lord Li. "What a clueless fellow! And yet he dares to call himself a great scholar! Bah!"

Song Xiwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This Lord Li has been an official in the court for many years, so it's inevitable that he will be a little stubborn."

"He's more than just stubborn. He's bullying you, a young man! He's jealous that you hold a higher rank than him, and he doesn't even notice that you have military achievements."

Song Wenyi was really angry. If Xi Wan hadn't remained calm, he would have definitely started arguing with Lord Li.

How dare you bully Xi Wan who just started attending court!

Song Xiwan felt warm in her heart and comforted her father obediently, "Since you understand that he is such a person, why bother getting angry with him? It will only make you sick."

Song Wenyi didn't want Xi Wan to worry, so he muttered, "I just feel sorry for you."

"Don't worry, I'm Daddy's daughter. How could I be bullied so easily?"

Lord Li must be very angry now.

Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Song Wenyi felt a little relieved and nodded, "That's right, you were very impressive just now."
