"Xiangjun, you don't understand. For someone like me, one more year and one less year doesn't matter." Shi Ce said seriously: "But for you, one more year means more possibilities."

Shi Xiangjun smiled and said, "Dad, can you still make the emperor take back his holy orders?"

She smiled brightly and said, "Even if the emperor is really willing to sell us face, is it possible that you want all the women in the world to wait for me alone?"

Shi Ce blushed, "That's not true, dad was just talking."

"Dad, I know you feel sorry for me, but I'm still young. Even if I take the exam twice, I'm still only 16 years old. It's not too late to get married."

"You girl." Shi Ce smiled helplessly. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep well all night, but his daughter was in such a good mood.

"Besides, if I can get into high school, that's my ability. If I don't get in, I can't force myself to do it. Now I'm already a master. My mother's illness is cured. Xiao Yue and I can go to school, and you can study with peace of mind. Dad, we all need to be grateful."

Xiang smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's all thanks to the princess. I don't know what happened to her when she returned to the palace."

"Mom, look at what you said, how can the palace be worse than ours? You'd better go cook quickly, Xiao Yue and I are both hungry."

Shi Xiangjun didn't want his parents to think wildly, so he found a reason to interrupt.

"Okay, I'm going to cook right now."

……

After receiving the news, Mrs. Guo packed her things that night. Her daughter was getting married. How could she miss it?
However, she still didn't explain her identity to the man. She didn't mean to hide it, but she just didn't think it was necessary. But the man asked her why she went to the capital.

"Did something happen at home? The child? Where is your daughter?"

Concubine Guo smiled helplessly, "You, I don't know if you are kind or malicious. Why did something happen to my daughter? Can't it be a good thing?"

"A good thing? Is the child getting married?" The man asked excitedly: "That is a big deal. As a mother, you will naturally go back. Well, I...as an uncle, I also have to prepare some dowry for her. That’s it.”

"That's not necessary. My daughter has many brothers, and they will help prepare it."

"How can that be done?" The man shook his head, "Brother is what he cares about. You are a mother, so naturally you have to prepare something. This way, if your child gets married, he won't be looked down upon at your in-laws' house."

Concubine Guo smiled, "My...nephews are also respectable people and will not let my sister be looked down upon."

"Of course, Xiao Ning is a well-behaved child, sensible and filial, and the husband's family he chose is also good, but there is still no shortage of preparations."

The man clenched his fists excitedly, "I'll get ready right now. When will you leave? I just have some business in the capital, so I... will send you there."

"This..." Guo Taifei was stunned for a moment, "I will leave tomorrow, you don't have to do it for me..."

"No, it's not for you. I understand. I won't go. I know it's convenient for you, but we and my husband will take care of you on the way. I don't feel at ease if you leave alone."

"I……"

Concubine Guo wanted to say that a man who is too good can become a burden. What should she say?

In the end, she couldn't win over the man, and the two of them went together.

But along the way, the man naturally saw the imperial edict just issued by the emperor.

"Both men and women take the exam together, which is interesting."

Concubine Guo curled her lips. The long journey was indeed a bit boring, "Then tell me why it's interesting?" "If nothing else, let's talk about our emperor..."

Concubine Guo listened carefully, with a slight smile on her lips.

"After he came to the throne, he really did a lot of great things, each of which is amazing. Think about his age, he is only in his early thirties now. More than ten years ago, he was so courageous. Look at these ten In a few years, the rivers have been clear and the sea has been peaceful, and the world has been at peace. It has been a prosperous age!"

Concubine Guo nodded. The current emperor was indeed more powerful than the previous emperor, of course because the Jiujiu beside him was a different woman.

"So, you agree?"

"Of course!" The man smiled: "To tell you the truth, at the beginning, I thought this little emperor was crazy."

Concubine Guo's face froze, but she did not interrupt him. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so let's talk about what we are afraid of.

"It's not enough for a woman to study, but to ask women to take official exams is really stupid."

The man smiled and said: "But later, I found that I was wrong. This woman is actually not weaker than the man. I don't know who decided it in the first place. Men have to set up outside, and women can only stay in the backyard. There is no distinction between men and women among those who are capable of doing embroidery and taking care of children."

Concubine Guo nodded, "When I heard what you said, I really saw the right person."

"Now that I have seen you, you are so talented. You are better at poetry than me, and you are better at painting than me. I even think that if you were more than ten or twenty years younger, you would have taken the exam and won the top prize. "

Concubine Guo smiled, "I can't do that. There are many really talented people out there. I'm old and I just want to live a peaceful life."

"Okay, then I'll accompany you. When I go back this time, I won't care about anything and will accompany you to travel around the mountains and rivers. If you miss the children, I will accompany you to see them."

"By the way, I...I won't show up, so as not to make them unhappy when they see me."

"How could it be? Xiao Ning accepts you. My son... you give him some time."

The man smiled and said, "There is no need to embarrass the child. I am the greatest luck in my life to be able to marry you."

However, when Xu saw the couple driving a carriage, someone was staring at them and suddenly jumped out of the mountains.

"You... what do you want to do?" The man was still calm at this time, "You... take the money as you please, but don't hurt my wife's life."

Although Mrs. Guo is old, she is a woman raised in the palace, and her appearance and temperament are beyond the comparison of ordinary young women.

Those gangsters still took advantage of the situation.

The man panicked, but Concubine Guo remained calm. She had also seen strong winds and waves, "I advise you to just take your things and leave. I won't hold you accountable."

"Don't hurt Madam, kill me!"

Concubine Guo smiled softly at the man. She had such a beloved man in her life, and she trusted him with her life. What else could she ask for?
Concubine Guo took a deep breath, looked at the group of eager gangsters, shook her head, and patted the man's hand, "We will be fine."

"Yes, if you accompany us well, our brothers will be happy, and maybe we will spare your lives."

Concubine Guo's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you worthy? Come on, stop hiding, take them down!"

The man on the side looked at his wife who seemed to be a different person, and was startled, where did she come from? (End of chapter)
