At the beginning, he also said that if he ascended the throne as emperor, he could not marry Qin Feng, so he would make Qin Feng the first female official in Daye.

They work together to build mountains and rivers.

She is really smart and can learn anything instantly. Like him, she cannot bear to see difficult life and sad things.

If I had taken this path at the beginning, would things have been different?

Emperor Xuan closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Go back, I want to rest."

An Ning looked at Emperor Xuan on the bed with some confusion: "Yes, I will resign."

There are always many choices in life. No matter what position you are in, no matter how many people respect you, you may regret every path you choose, but there is no other way.

The most he can do is to feel relieved, just like Emperor Xuan on the hospital bed.

He still has two months left.

Perhaps in order to make up for Cang Fuyun, in the next month, the court experienced a bloodbath.

For the first time, Emperor Xuan used his iron-blooded tactics and cooperated with Gu Qingzhao to force the old ministers to resign and return home.

The remaining month is spent preparing for the scientific examination.

In the notice posted during this scientific expedition, an unprecedented rule was added that caused a sensation throughout Daye.

That is, women can take the scientific examination.

This move caused many women to cheer and many scholars to curse.

For hundreds of years, women have had a low status, but now the situation is once again broken, facing the era of the century-old princess.

Some people cheered and some were gloomy about this scene.

An Ning was not surprised when she learned the news.

She vaguely understood what the saint said.

She did have this idea, but she would wait until Emperor Xuan left before taking action.

I just didn't expect that Emperor Xuan would propose it himself.

This reform is more turbulent and more convincing than the reforms after Cang Fuyun ascended the throne.

At the same time, he indeed opened up a path for Cang Fuyun, her and all the women in Daye.

She thought that this might have something to do with Concubine Qin's death.

Gu Qingzhao hugged An Ning from behind and put his head close to her shoulder and neck.

He saw An Ning's thoughtful look and asked, "What's wrong, An Ning?"

An Ning smiled slightly, "I was just thinking, the deepest love from ancient times to the present, the most touching thing is mourning the death of my wife. After death, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Why didn't I cherish her well in the first place?"

The death of Concubine Qin awakened Emperor Xuan. It seemed that he was also trying to fulfill some of their wishes, so he was desperate before his death.

Gu Qingzhao said in a hoarse voice, "Well, I won't. I will only die with you."

An Ning laughed out loud, "I can't."

Gu Qingzhao lowered his head and said "hmm" in a calm voice.

She wouldn't. She always wanted Gu Qingzhao not to live dependent on her. Even if she really died one day, he could still live a good life and be himself.

Even if you can't live a good life, you can at least do your best for yourself, do what you want to do, and have your greatest wish.

Rather than in the mind, there is only peace and it becomes an accessory of peace.

She doesn't want to, so she won't.

They are independent people. While they love others, they also love themselves.

On the other hand, how can a person who despises himself love someone?

Such a core is destined to be a tragedy.

So her Lord Gu, don’t be her dodder.

"Mr. Gu, let me take you to search for your ideal again. Even if it is not what it was like before, it doesn't matter. As long as it is what you want to do, I will support you."

Gu Qingzhao still said "hmm" in a slightly hoarse voice.

He knows, he's always known.

He is now weak and relies all his strength on her.

He will, he will stand up again.

The two of them intertwined their hands.

···

Because of peace, I went to the palace to meet the saint again the next day.

Emperor Xuan's face was so pale that he couldn't hide it. Anyone who looked at him would know that his time was running out.

He was lying on the hospital bed, looking at An Ning lovingly.

"Girl, cough cough cough, you have great medical skills, can you think of a way to let me live for one more month, cough cough cough. The imperial examination has just been posted, and it will not be held until one month at the earliest. I have to wait until the exam.

Only when it's over and the results are out can you leave with peace of mind, cough cough cough."

An Ning pursed her lips slightly and frowned slightly.

"It's going to be painful."

Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "As long as there is a way, just do it. I'm not afraid."

There is nothing in this world that he is afraid of.

All that's left is what he told the people of Dawn.

An Ning administered acupuncture to Emperor Xuan once every three days.

But the body will become extremely cold, the hot summer will be like frost in winter, and the pain in the bones will be unbearable.

No matter what, for the people of the world, Emperor Xuan was indeed a good emperor.

···

One month later, the imperial examination was held.

An Ning, Ruan Qingcheng, and Ye Wanyan, now a teacher at Xingchen Academy, also signed up, and there were many other women who were eager to try.

After an exam, countless people cursed me.

This year's exam questions are too novel, and I don't know which examiner came from them. They completely subvert common sense.

Gu Qingzhao was waiting for An Ning at the door holding an umbrella.

Nie Yuan is also here, coming to pick up Ruan Qingcheng.

An Ning called Ye Wanyan and asked him to go to the general's mansion to have a drink with him.

Ye Wanyan did not refuse.

The four of them went to the pavilion of the General's Mansion. At this time, Cang Fuyun, Xie Nan and Liu Guang had been waiting here for a long time.

Cang Fuyun: "All the ministers are back."

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

Xie Nan filled the glass with wine.

Ye Wanyan asked: "Why doesn't Miss Xie take the scientific examination?"

Xie Nan shook his head, revealing his sweet dimples.

"I like doing business now. I want to make Ranyan bigger and stronger. I want to become the richest woman in Daye, and I also want to become an imperial merchant."

Ye Wanyan glanced at Xie Nan appreciatively. If it were in the past, she would definitely look down on a woman of Xie Nan's status.

But now, she knows that identity cannot make a person change himself or herself to become dazzling, nor can she become as dazzling as that identity.

Without that layer of identity, the inside is just rotten and moldy peanut kernels.

No one can eat it, so it can only be discarded.

Ruan Qingcheng also chuckled and said: "Nannan has such an ambition, but now Ranyan has almost achieved it."

It is undeniable that Xie Nan really spends a lot of time and energy on Ran Yan.

The color, texture, and packaging of the rouge are all done by her herself.

She also takes care of settling accounts and going out to discuss business.

The entire Ranyan is Xie Nan’s hard work.

Even An Ning didn't expect that Ranyan could develop so quickly.

All this is thanks to the girl in front of me.

"Come, pay respects to our Nannan, and congratulate Ranyan on his success. As for Huangshang, it's just a matter of time."

Everyone looked towards the Ninth Princess, and seven of them raised their glasses at the same time.
