A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour
Chapter 257 Should Women Read Books?
She looked over, somewhat surprised, and whispered in Su Xuance's ear, "Father, is that heartless uncle trying to harm me? The way he's looking at me is strange!"
Su Xuance immediately looked at Su Chengxiao with icy eyes.
Su Chengxiao immediately lowered his head.
He was completely stunned by the assassination attempt on Renbao.
He clearly didn't want to go.
But all signs indicate that it was he who went to find the person, yet he has no memory of it at all.
"Renbao doesn't like him, Father, find an opportunity to get rid of him." Su Xuance's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He no longer needed to consider brotherly affection.
He couldn't wait for Su Chengxiao to suffer the consequences of his actions. If anything happened to Renbao, he would never forgive himself.
Renbao stared at Su Chengxiao for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, Daddy. That heartless uncle isn't dangerous at all; he's actually quite fun."
Who is that?
Renbao pointed to Imperial Censor Rong.
Su Xuance looked over and said, "He is Consort Rong's father. You led His Majesty to identify her for harming the Empress, so he must hold a grudge against you."
The words fell.
Renbao's clear voice rang out as she looked at Imperial Censor Rong: "Why are you staring at Renbao? Do you hold a grudge against me?"
All eyes immediately turned to Imperial Censor Rong.
As expected of the Little Celestial Master, he doesn't fight amongst himself at all.
Just ask me directly.
They also wish they had that mindset, feeling that it would allow them to live a few more years.
Censor Rong dared not offend Renbao, so he held his breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "That's not true, Little Celestial Master must have misjudged."
"You're lying. Grandpa Wei said a gentleman doesn't lie. Are you going to be a scoundrel?" Renbao said.
Her voice was soft and sweet, but every word she spoke struck a chord with Imperial Censor Rong.
He felt like he was going to vomit blood.
Wei Huaihao stroked his beard: "Renbao is right."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Imperial Censor Rong and said sarcastically, "Consort Rong harmed the royal offspring; this is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of her family. You still dare to blame the Little Celestial Master?"
Imperial Censor Rong's face turned pale: "I wouldn't dare."
Renbao quickly added, "It's not entirely Consort Rong's fault; Uncle Emperor is also at fault. He married too many concubines, causing them to fight!"
Just then, the emperor arrived.
Renbao always spoke with a strong voice, which resonated throughout the Golden Palace.
When the civil and military officials caught sight of the bright yellow figure above, their hearts suddenly raced and sweat beaded on their foreheads.
he came!
Little Celestial Master, stop talking!
The emperor paused.
Wei Huaihao immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, the young Celestial Master is innocent and naive; please don't take his words to heart."
The Duke of Zhenguo also stepped forward: "Grand Tutor Wei is absolutely right. I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart."
The atmosphere was somewhat subdued.
Renbao tilted his head to look at the emperor: "Is Renbao wrong?"
The emperor took a deep breath, sat on his dragon throne, and nodded: "The little celestial master is right, so I have decided not to hold a selection of concubines for five years. Do you all have any objections?"
He looked around.
All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and remained silent.
Most of them had their own selfish motives, wanting to send the most beautiful daughter in their family to the palace.
The emperor's decision concerned the family's interests and prosperity; they never expected that Renbao's words would have such a great impact on the emperor.
A silence fell.
Su Xuance said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Renbao asked, "What does 'talent show' mean?"
Su Xuance explained softly.
Renbao immediately raised his chubby little hand: "Uncle Emperor is wise!"
The emperor felt immediately relieved when he was praised and when all the civil and military officials below him looked rather displeased.
Imperial Censor Rong spent the morning court in suspense, but when he didn't receive any punishment from the emperor, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor asked, "Do any of you ministers have anything else to report? If not, the court may adjourn."
The officials looked at each other and fell silent.
Just then, Renbao said, "Uncle Emperor, I have something to say."
The emperor looked at her curiously: "Tell me."
"Why is it that only my brother can study in the mortal world, but my sisters can't? My sister said she studies music, chess, calligraphy, and painting at the academy and can't take the imperial examinations, but my uncle can, and so can Brother Shen and Brother Wen. They are all human beings."
Renbao asked in a strong voice, with a hint of accusation.
The entire Golden Palace fell silent once more.
Their gazes then fell upon Renbao.
The young Taoist master is so intelligent that he can be called a child prodigy.
But sometimes what she said was really hard for them to accept.
"Women should obey the three obediences and four virtues, stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children. Men are upright and capable, of course they can study and take the imperial examinations." The provincial governor was the first to speak, his tone completely matter-of-fact.
Renbao scoffed, "But I'm more capable than many of you!"
The two remained silent for a moment.
"In short, it's outrageous that women shouldn't be allowed to study!"
"Exactly! There has never been a precedent of women studying for the imperial examinations; this is simply breaking the rules set by our ancestors!"
"Minister Su, as the father of the young Celestial Master, what do you usually teach him?"
"Minister Su, you really should teach the little celestial master properly and correct her thinking."
The ministers all chimed in with their opinions.
Su Xuance said solemnly, "I would like to ask my colleagues a few questions."
"You speak," Scholar Song sneered.
Su Xuance said in a cold tone: "Since you all think women are useless, can you state that from this day forward, you will not seek out my Renbao to come to the manor for medical treatment or exorcism?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers, including Scholar Song, who had strongly objected, fell silent.
Renbao was a miracle doctor!
Even the abbot of Qingshan Temple had to be amiable and even fawn over this metaphysical genius.
There are two types of people you should never offend in this world.
One was a doctor, and the other was a Taoist priest.
How can they guarantee a life free from illness and pain? How can they guarantee that if they offend a Taoist priest, the priest won't use some mystical methods on them?
Wei Huaihao said, "Your Majesty, I think what the Little Celestial Master said makes sense. There are many intelligent women. If they can make good use of their abilities, it will be a blessing for the Great Yong."
Scholar Song glared at him: "Grand Tutor Wei, you're getting senile. How can you joke about something like this?"
Yes, the Little Celestial Master is indeed amazing, but how many like her are there in this world?
Renbao said, "They didn't even give the older sisters a chance to jump off, how do you know?"
Scholar Song was stumped by the question.
The Emperor made the decision: "Alright, the Little Celestial Master is right, and all my ministers are right too. Let your daughters try it first. We will hold an exam next year. If we can select a woman with great talent to contribute to the Great Yong Dynasty, then we will promote the women's imperial examination."
The civil and military officials were taken aback upon hearing this, but were also somewhat delighted—it was their daughter!
The emperor has not selected any concubines for five years; this is quite another approach.
Daughters of prominent families are raised with education from a young age and are all learned, though the level of their knowledge varies.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the emperor wanted to adjourn the court session.
A scout urgently reports.
Everyone's hearts tightened again.
The appearance of spies in the northern border region at this time indicates either a battle or some trouble.
Su Xuance's heart also tightened, and his eyes followed the scout as he entered the hall.
Pei Yuru is in the northern frontier!
Renbao sensed Su Xuance's unease; she was still unaware of what it meant for the spy to appear in the Golden Palace at this time.
She asked softly, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
