After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 437 All the disciples were named on the gold list
It was a big event for the Crown Prince of the East Palace to accept a concubine. Tai Shiling and others calculated for a long time before choosing a good day for the wedding, August [-]th.

It is the time of golden autumn when the crown prince gets married and all nations come to court.

As August approaches, envoys from various states arrive. After the sea area of ​​Mingzhou stabilizes, more and more foreign states have established diplomatic relations at sea, and the great dynasty deserves its title.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival and the great joy of the East Palace, Chang'an City was decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns, making them as bright as day even at night.

There was a big wedding in the East Palace, and Zhao Jue, who was recovering from illness outside, had to rush back to the palace.

The autumn examination was about to take place. When the ministers saw Zhao Jue, they saw a life-saving straw. They sent memorials one after another, hoping that Zhao Jue would cancel the women's participation in the autumn examination.

August [-]th is the time for the autumn examination. If women are allowed to participate in the autumn examination, there is really no chance of change.

When Zhao Jue returned to the palace and saw these memorials, he felt dizzy and felt that his illness over the past year was in vain.

Seeing that Zhao Jue had a headache, Meng Jingshu massaged his head and said, "Why does your majesty have such a headache?"

Zhao Jue said: "This scientific examination is to select talents for the imperial court, but a woman's duty has always been to support her husband, educate her children, and be a good wife. Once a woman is allowed to go out to study, I am afraid there will be endless troubles..."

Meng Jingshu said: "What's the future trouble? It's a pity to trap a woman in the back house. You see, Lu Wanzhi has been the Marquis of Wu'an for three years. She spent her days in depression in the house and wasted her talents. The outsiders bullied her. .

If she was willing to be bound by the female ring and trapped in the back house instead of making an exception to teach in Qinglan Academy, Meng Ao, Gu Qingchi, Zhao Heng, Zhang Yuan, Jiang Li, and Shen Luozhi who were looking for ginseng... …Where did these ministers of the DPRK come from? "

Zhao Jue sighed: "Alas."

Meng Jingshu said again: "Lu Wanzhi has spent more than ten years of his life educating female students, hoping that women can take the imperial examination and follow the right path. You snatched her son and fulfilled Lu Wanzhi's wish. Make it up to her.”

Despite the objections of the courtiers, Lu Wanzhi's female disciples finally approached the examination room during the autumn examination in Chang'an.

He Zhifei did not enter the examination room, not because of her physical weakness, but also because of her grandmother.

Lu Wanzhi has been extremely worried since her disciples entered the examination room. There are thousands of scholars in Chang'an, and it is extremely difficult to pass the examination. Although she has confidence in the students' knowledge, she is also afraid that it will be their first time entering the examination room and she will feel nervous.

Zhao Heng waited with Lu Wanzhi at the door and said, "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and I still remember the scene when I took part in the autumn exam."

Lu Wanzhi said: "It's been 18 years. It's been 18 years. Xie Jinzhi was unwilling and aggrieved back then. Today it's time to let go."

Over the past ten years, Lu Wanzhi has single-handedly raised these female disciples, and they are all looking forward to this day.

This day made her even happier than her son getting married.

Over the years, Lu Wanzhi had no idea. She was afraid that all she could do was to draw water from a bamboo basket. She knew that if she taught some male students by herself, she would definitely make Qinglan Academy produce a few more Jinshi or even No. [-] scholars.

Lu Wanzhi has had countless nightmares. It is these girls who have been studying for more than ten years and are forced to live in the back house as husbands and children.

Now, women can finally wear the most beautiful women's clothes and walk into the examination room with dignity!

The end day of the autumn examination happens to be August [-]th.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival and the wedding of the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the rankings in the autumn examination will not be known until August [-].

On August [-], the autumn air is crisp, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, the autumnal equinox is cool, and the city is filled with the fragrance of golden osmanthus.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace married the Crown Princess into the palace. At the wedding banquet, ministers from all over the world drank and celebrated.

August [-]rd.

The Chang'an Autumn Examination results were about to be released. Lu Wanzhi went to the palace early and took the list from Zhao Jue. Her hands were trembling and she did not dare to look at the Autumn Examination list.

Zhao Heng said: "Let me help you look at it!"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Forget it, I'll just watch it by myself!"

Lu Wanzhi looked at the first name on the list, which was Zhou Wenying, followed by Lu Wanjun, then Yun Ruoxue ranked fifth, Qian Jiao ranked ninth, Xu Ying ranked No. 12, and No. 19 Zhou Zhi'e, No. 20 Cao Meng, and the last one He Yi.

Lu Wanzhi saw Heyi's list and said, "Heyi, did she also participate in the autumn examination?"

"Little aunt!"

Heyi came out of the hall, walked up to Lu Wanzhi and said, "I'm sorry, after I gave birth to the child, I neglected my studies. Fortunately, I am still on the list, which is better than my uncle!"

Lu Wanzhi hugged Heyi in front of her and said with tears in her eyes: "Heyi."

Heyi patted Lu Wanzhi's back gently and said, "Auntie, don't cry. We all passed the autumn exam. This is a great joy!"

Lu Wanzhi chuckled and said, "Indeed, it's a great event!"

As soon as the list of the Chang'an Autumn Examination came out, all the women were successful and ranked among the best. It can be said that the whole court was in an uproar, and the people who gathered around to watch the excitement were all impressed.

There are even many people who want their daughters to study. Look, these women are no weaker than men.

Zhao Heng smiled at the side and said: "Can I finally sleep peacefully now? I haven't slept well these past few days!"

Lu Wanzhi nodded, feeling that he could have a good sleep.

However, after the autumn test, Lu Wanzhi did not dare to slack off.

After all, there is still the Spring Examination. Although there are many literati in Chang'an and they are top-notch, there are also talents from all over Dasheng, so the Spring Examination is more difficult than the Autumn Examination.

Except for Heyi, the other seven female students, except Zhou Wenying, are all married.

These female students still resolutely left their husbands alone and went to study at Qinglan Academy.Lu Wanbian also planned to take Xinghu to teach at Qinglan Academy. Since getting married to Zhao Heng, the days when the couple slept on different beds could be counted on their hands.

When Zhao Heng learned about this, he refused completely, "No, I don't agree."

Lu Wanzhi said: "You have to agree even if you don't agree."

Zhao Heng said: "Zhizhi, I can't bear to leave you for so long. I can't sleep without you."

Lu Wanzhi said: "I can't sleep for one day, but I can always fall asleep for two or three days. Our disciples are all newlyweds, and they can bear to be separated. We are an old couple."

Zhao Heng held Lu Wanzhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi."

Lu Wanzhi said, "It only takes half a year. Every time I take a break, I promise to come back early. The stars are still in the palace, and I will come back often."

Zhao Heng looked at Lu Wanzhi with great reluctance, but he could only let her go to Qinglan Academy.

Qinglan Academy is still the same as it was 18 years ago, and the Lu Garden underneath is still the same as before.

Zhao Heng returned to the small courtyard where he once lived and said, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "I remember, when I saw you in Zhilan Pavilion, I felt that there were few such good-looking men in the world."

"Then are you willing to let such a good-looking man stay alone in your empty boudoir?"

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said: "You are almost forty, but you are not as good-looking as you used to be! Nowadays, any young scholar in the academy is better-looking than you."

Zhao Heng puffed up his cheeks and said, "I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you. What if another little scholar falls in love with you?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "You don't care about the court affairs anymore?"

Zhao Heng said: "Brother Emperor remains in the palace, and Cheng'er is also married. There is no need for me, the regent, to do anything."

Zhao Heng was not a person who liked to exercise power. He preferred to be a small county magistrate in Shanyin than to be in the court in Chang'an. If he was not willing to have a lower official position than Shen Luozhi, he would not want to be in the court. .

The end of the Year of the Dragon, the 29th of the Lunar New Year.

In the East Palace, Xu Hongshan gave birth to a pair of children, a son and a daughter, a dragon and a phoenix.

This Chinese New Year can be described as a series of happy events for Lu Wanzhi.

Not only did Xu Hongshan give birth to children, she became a grandmother and had to hold grandchildren.

Shen Luozhi and He Yue, who had been to Taibai Mountain for half a year, also returned and brought back a thousand-year-old ginseng.

I don't know how long this thousand-year-old ginseng can last, but at least He Zhifei's body and bones are much better.

Being suitable and pregnant, it can be said that the Prince of Chu's palace is prosperous.

The Gu family also has a lot of happy events. Yuhe and Gu Qingchi's daughter Gu Kexing have arranged a marriage with Zhao Du. The Queen Mother Gu helped arrange the marriage.

Queen Mother Gu had lived in Prince Liang's Mansion for so many years, and she treated Zhao Du as if she were her own grandson. Gu Kexing was the most beloved grandniece of her natal family.

After Zhao Du and Zhou Wenying met, their marriage never came to fruition. When Zhao Du accompanied Queen Mother Gu back to Chang'an to attend Zhao Cheng's wedding, Queen Mother Gu saw that her niece and nephew were about the same age as Zhao Du, and their mother was Former friends, they made several arrangements.

Lu Wan was a little surprised but also happy to learn about this. Yuhe and Yulan's children became in-laws, which can be said to be a great blessing.

There is also a happy event in the Lu family. Princess Hua Ying is pregnant again.

Princess Huaying is now 35 and [-], so it is a great joy to still be pregnant.

In February, the Spring Examination, which attracts the attention of literary talents, begins. The spring is cold and the late spring is bone-chillingly cold.

When Lu Wanzhi sent Xie Jin into the examination room, she patted Xie Jin on the shoulder and said, "Xie Jin, you will definitely be named on the gold list."

Xie Jin combed her hair into a woman's bun. She was already the mother of three children and was about to become a grandmother. She bowed to Lu Wanzhi and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm going in."

Lu Wanzhi watched Xie Jin enter, feeling that the biting cold was no longer cold at all.

Jiang Li said beside Lu Wanzhi: "When Xie Jin wins, all the students in our Tianzi class will be successful."

The spring exam results were released in mid-February, and Lu Wanzhi also learned about the results in advance.

Seeing Zhou Wenying in No.1, Lu Wanzhi reached out and gently touched Zhou Wenying's name.

After reading the list, Lu Wanzhi chuckled and said, "All my disciples have achieved fame except Heyi. In the Tianzi class, there are also my seven girls."

During the palace examination, Zhao Jue was worried about the old-fashioned officials in the court, fearing that their blood would spill in the palace.

Zhou Wenying was excellent in every aspect, but she only got the second place.

In the tenth year of Jing'an, a total of [-] women participated in the spring examination, and [-] of them won the Jinshi.

In the same year, women's academies were opened all over Dasheng.

In April of the same year, Emperor Jing'an fell seriously ill and died. The queen was heartbroken and passed away a month later.

Prince Zhao Cheng, who was only eighteen years old, ascended the throne as emperor, with the reign title Shiyuan.
