Who Cares

as being rigid and unladylike, but that was for ordinary people.
If the emperor came forward to argue, the fact that she cut open the abdomen to take a child out, thus allowed the late Empress Dowager to rectify her name, was enough to earn her a favorable impression.
Others could say hundreds of thousands of sentences about Miss Guan’s disadvantages, but in the emperor’s heart she was still good.

The emperor’s words were completely pointed out to Miss Guan! Thinking like this, many people glanced at Emperor Teacher and Chief of Ceremonies to see how they would react.

However, to everyone’s disappointment, Emperor Teacher and Chief of Ceremonies didn’t even raise their eyebrows, as if it had nothing to do with them.
That’s right, although Miss Guan was both talented and beautiful, she had been married and reconcile, so how could she become the empress! Almost forget that key point!

Everyone reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.
The lower-ranking ministers did not think about it anymore, but the noble and powerful ministers examined their daughters one by one to see who was talented, beautiful, and virtuous, and find an opportunity to let them meet the emperor in the future.

Emperor Sheng Yuan was not surprised when he saw that the two Mount Tai were indifferent, but he also could not help but a bit disappointed.
What’s wrong with a reconcile woman? A reconcile woman can’t marry again? What a bunch of idiots! The words had been released, and if someone want to put a woman in his harem, he had to decide whether she was qualified or not.

After thinking about it, he slowly said, “All the beloved ministers worried that there is no master in the harem, and Zhen is also worried.
But the mother of the country is the most honorable woman in the world, how can anyone deserve it? It’s better to have the empress’ seat empty than having unworthy people usurping the throne of Jiaofang Palace* and harm my great Wei’s blessing, what do the beloved minister think?”

It had been raised to harming the country’s blessing, who dare to refute it now? What’s more, what the emperor said was right, whether the empress was virtuous and not, it was indeed a great importance.
Don’t you see that Xia, Shang, Zhou… all the previous dynasties died because of the chaos in the harem.
Looking at it, the emperor’s standard for establishing an empress was really reasonable.

After the court hall calmed down, Emperor Sheng Yuan raised his voice, “Do you have anything else, beloved minister? Let’s retire if there is nothing.”

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to send off the emperor, only to see him striding to the door of the Jinluan Palace, and suddenly turned around and smiled, “Emperor Teacher, Zhen asked you last time if you recognize the Innkeeper, you said you didn’t know, and now Zhen find out that she is actually your granddaughter. Zhen will remember your crime of deceiving the monarch, in the future send the Innkeeper’s calligraphy treasure to make it even.”

Old Master Guan hurriedly knelt down to apologize, and when he got up again, His Majesty had already left.
After coming out of the Jinluan Palace, the father and son showed a solemn expression.
Who said that reconcile woman cannot enter the palace? Others might have forgotten, but they have not, the Jiuli people have always had the custom of son inheriting when the father died, younger brother succeeding when older brother died, not only in the change of rights and family inheritance, but also the marriage.
Younger brothers married his sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law married husband’s younger brother, and son even married the stepmother, all kinds of absurd actions had been passed down for hundreds of years and had evolved into the norm.

Even father’s woman could marry, then what’s marrying a second-married woman be count on? His Majesty’s words today were deliberately addressed to the Guan family!

Old Master Guan unaware of the ins and out, so he was just a little worried, but Guan Father felt that the situation was over and he was powerless to struggle, he could only take one step at a time and go with the flow.
Fortunately, although the daughter did not understand hidden plot, she was good at using open conspiracy.
If she could occupy the phoenix position, she might avoid the worst end.

When the court meeting was in progress, the literary war was still continuing, and the tea houses near the literary notice were already overcrowded.
The prominent people occupied one place, and the students did not dare to enter and bother them, and could only linger nearby.
Some tea house shopkeepers knew how to take advantage of the situation, selling both tea and brush, paper and inkstone, and the business was very hot.

One of the luxuriously decorated tea-house was gathering many noble children, they silently buried their heads to copy the articles.
Guan Wenhai was also among them, but his face was not as excited as the others, sometime white and sometime blue, looking very twisted.
The news that Guan Suyi was the Innkeeper gave him a slap in the face, and then Master Xu’s works were refuted by many great scholars, and they used practical arguments to prove that many of his views were just conjectures.
If they were used to teach students, it might be suspected of misleading people.

There was no doubt that Guan Wenhai was one of the misguided students.
Thinking of the policy advice that he shared with the public half a month ago, he longed to go back in time and burn the manuscript.
He even prattle on self-importantly, directly scolding his cousin for pretending to understand the matter, have shallow knowledge, and said that Guan Father had some grudge with him for refuting his article.

It turned out that he was the one who pretended to understand, and he was the one who harbored grudge.
He mocked his cousin’s words, and his cousin’s reply to this had now become a reason for everyone to make fun of him.

“Remember the article that Guan Wenhai published last time? Looking at it now, it’s ridiculous.
Miss Guan warned him that he was wrong, but instead he slandered people for being short-sighted.
I actually don’t know that a person who could criticize Xu Guangzhi to the point of exhaustion and discuss the Tao with all the great scholars is actually not as knowledgeable as him.”

“Hey, you don’ know.
He doesn’t look at people’s talent, he only looks at age.
Older people are more knowledgeable, and younger ones are less knowledgeable, so he doesn’t agree with the younger students, and must mock a few words.”

“If that the case, then what kind of imperial examination is he taking? Just wait until he is seventy or eighty and go straight to get the champion title, won’t it be possible?”

“Yes, that’s what Miss Guan said too.
Hahahaha…” The tea house was full of laughter, causing Guan Wenhai to have smoke over his head and too ashamed to show his face.
Ji Chengyue sat in the corner and listened, his ears were also burning red.
He also looked down on Miss Guan, indeed have eyes but fail to see.
Fortunately, those stupid words were only mentioned to Xu Yayan, so it shouldn’t be spread to her ears, right?
