Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Chapter 247 Bei Qin's Good Mouth

He was not qualified to attend the court, but he didn't know that Princess Tianwu had made a big move at today's court meeting.

First, I would like to submit a petition to Your Majesty, requesting that women be allowed to take the imperial examinations and enter officialdom.

Secondly, abolish the chastity arches and rewards for heroic and virtuous women, and encourage widows to remarry.

This unorthodox request naturally caused a lot of opposition.

One person stepped out and said: "How can women take the imperial examinations like men? They are not suitable to be officials."

Bei Jingchu was about to retort when Bei Qin stepped out from the queue and said, "From the founding princess of the Xuan Dynasty to the current Zhou Jiancheng and others, more than a dozen women have made contributions to Dai Viet to varying degrees and have served in the court."

"It's not like all women are going to be officials. The imperial examination is to select people to be officials."

"As long as you pass the test, it's fine. I just don't consider the impact of gender. Is it important?"

"Since he was able to pass, it means he has the ability to be an official."

One kill.

"What if that woman is pregnant and government affairs are delayed?"

Bei Qin: "Who doesn't observe six years of mourning when their parents die?"

"Who is the emperor's court going to fail without? The emperor's court can only fail without Your Majesty."

Second kill.

"Women are emotional and soft-hearted..."

Bei Qin: "Everyone is emotional. If a man has no feelings or love, how can the honey trap come about?"

Three kills.

"Women are naturally weak and lack energy..."

Bei Qin: "Compared with the military officers, you civil officials are also lacking in energy. If you really want to kill them all with one stroke, then those who have never practiced martial arts should not come."

Four kills.

"Women shouldn't have contact with men outside of their roles. If they work together, there's a chance they might have an affair."

Bei Qin: "Isn't it just right to intermarry? We are all colleagues, so we are probably a good match."

Pentakill.

"How can we encourage widows to remarry? This is infidelity to their deceased husbands."

Bei Qin: "Have you ever calculated how many more people a widow in her prime can add to her family after she remarries?"

"The enemy is watching closely, and it's time to prepare for war. Is population more important or chastity and rules more important?"

Six kills.

The young man held a tablet in his hand and stood in the center of the hall like a standing monument, ready to kill anyone who stood in his way.

A good mouth can win the debate with all the ministers.

The rest of the people who supported Bei Jingchu, including Bei Jingchu herself, didn't find a chance to speak.

It was a hearty debate, and Bei Qin was thoroughly satisfied with the scolding.

When the emperor made the decision, no one said no.

Because if they said it, they would definitely be retorted by the young marquis, which would make them look ignorant and foolish.

The Minister of the Chancellery returned home feeling upset and confided the matter to his wife.

"Tell me, this is ridiculous!"

"It's just like child's play!"

"Letting women take the imperial examinations is just making trouble!"

"Madam, don't you think it's right? If you stay at home like you do, just take care of the household and socialize, it will be much more comfortable."

"If it weren't for the heavy burden on us men, who would be willing to serve as an official?"

Unexpectedly, his most gentle and sensible wife did not agree with him this time.

Her eyes gradually became strange, and she asked, "My husband, do you mean that Princess Tianwu proposed that women be allowed to participate in the next round of the Spring Examination?"

"And, His Majesty agreed?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Yu stood up immediately and rushed to her daughter's yard.

He also ordered the servants: "Go pack up Sanniang's things and take them to the academy together."

"Tell her to stop being so mad. If she misses this opportunity, she may never see it again!"

The Shangshu Ling, who watched the empty building leave, stretched out his hand but failed to stop anything.

But not everyone wants this opportunity.

Lei Naner became even more complacent when she heard this.

"Go ahead and make some noise."

"The more they don't conform to the social order, the more they highlight the nobility and virtue of girls like me."

And the result was just as she expected.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Gui did not care about her marriage and she was the one who reviewed all the marriage proposals.

She touched the post and was very happy.

"The people who have proposed marriage recently have higher family backgrounds."

"It's probably those ladies who are just like Lei Nian'er, who want to compete with men unrealistically and want to take the imperial examination."

"I got a bargain for nothing."

She was very interested in one of them.

"This Zhu family is quite good."

After closing the wedding invitation, Lei Naner stopped smiling and stood up.

"Let's go and see my good brother."

"Although, I can't get close to him."

Originally, she thought that Aye starting to value Lei Nian'er was the worst thing.

As a result, the stepmother gave birth to a son!

He is Aye's only son.

Ever since that little bastard was born, Aye has treated him like the apple of his eye.

He even said bluntly that she had a precedent of harming her sisters and would not allow her to get close to her brother.

He guessed it right.

She wished she could kill that little bastard.

But every day she could only smile at him and pretend that she loved her brother very much.

When she went to the main courtyard, Lei Nian'er was also in the room.

Lei Nian'er guessed that her mother must have talked about Lei Nan'er and called her a bad woman.

But the father, who always wanted his son’s girlfriend’s love, never corrected his younger brother.

She lowered her eyes to hide her mocking look.

As expected, in front of his son, no matter how favored Lei Naner was in the past, she was not even as good as a toe of his beloved son.

Although she should be happy, Lei Nian'er felt as if she was in trouble and her teeth would be in danger.

While I was lost in thought, my sleeve was pulled.

The child bit his finger, looked at her with his big eyes, and called out incoherently: "Sister...sister..."

She smiled. The child was still very cute.

I don’t know if boys of this age are particularly naughty or if her younger brother is just more energetic.

He didn't like being hugged by his eldest sister, but liked to pull his eldest sister's skirt, climb on her, and then be hugged.

Lei Nian'er was used to it, but there was a small incident this time.

The child slipped and tumbled, grabbing the table next to him for leverage, but was knocked down with the table as well.

Lei Nian'er was shocked and reached out to pull him into her arms, but she lost her balance and could only support herself on the ground with her other hand. The broken porcelain pieces pierced deeply into her palm.

The mother immediately took the frightened and crying little brother back to comfort him, "How is it? Is Luo'er okay? Is it hurting anywhere?"

He asked her, "Can't you protect him with your hands?"

Lei Nian'er felt tired, as if she didn't recognize her anymore.

"I don't know, and you didn't tell me."

"I've never taken care of a child, so I don't understand."

"And mother, I hurt my hand trying to grab him just now."

Only then did the mother's eyes move to the wound where she was pierced by broken porcelain pieces and was bleeding profusely.

She exclaimed: "Oh, Nian'er, are you okay?"

Lei Nian'er:...Nonsense, do you think I look okay?

Not wanting to argue any further, she said, "Mother, I'm going to find the court doctor to bandage me."

"Okay, go quickly, don't delay."

After quickly giving the instructions, she focused all her energy on coaxing the younger child.

After Lei Nian'er bandaged the wound, she got through it as if nothing had happened.

It was not until she went to the palace to report on her work that she confessed it.

"Your Highness, I seem to be an abnormal person."

【Hmm?】 Bei Jingchu realized that something was wrong with her.

[How come you made your child doubt his life? ]

Lei Nian'er pushed her away in a rebellious manner and buried his head heavily on her shoulder.

After burying it, I adjusted it and found a comfortable position.

The voice coming from my shoulder was muffled: "I seem to only want clean feelings."

"I want someone who is firm and pure and who will stand by me."

"If it's not firm enough, it seems, it's not precious."
