The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 34 Ask

But this is His Majesty, according to his temperament, the possibility of letting him build a place for female relatives in the mansion is not much different from the possibility of a knife being thrown in the sky.

The two looked at each other, hiding their curiosity.

Mrs. Shen said first, "The courtiers and others should have come to visit a long time ago, but they were only worried about disturbing the purity of the empress, so they delayed until today."

Seeing the kindness shown on the faces of the two ladies, Gu Ruzhen couldn't help being a little dazed.

If her biological mother was still there, would she be like this?
Thinking of this, her expression unavoidably became gentle, "Earlier, there were a lot of things to do, so it's a good time for the two ladies to come today."

The three of them talked for a while, before Mrs. Shen asked tentatively, "I don't know if the Queen knows that many courtiers have been beaten by His Majesty?"

After Shen Ji, a few more people knelt one after the other as if they had made an appointment, begging to see him outside the Ganlu Hall.

They didn't know that Shen Ji was beaten twenty times because of this, if they knew, they might not be so brave.

After all, this time hitting the board was not like Zuoqiuju last time, the servants lightened their strength a little bit, Emperor Tianqin also allowed them to do this.

And Shen Ji's [-] boards were played for real. After the beating, he slumped on the bench, and finally several people carried him to Shen's residence.

And because the door of Shen Ji's Palace is a side door, it was a perfect miss for those courtiers who later discussed this matter.

Because of this, the later courtiers did not know about this matter, so several people received several boards according to their official positions.

When going to court in the early morning of the next day, the courtiers who had been beaten were carried into the Hall of Supreme Harmony by two guards.

Seeing each other being carried in paralyzed, several people felt astonished at first, then understood after astonishment, and despaired after understanding.

His Majesty's intention this time is clearly to warn them that if anyone raises objections to the decree, it may not be just a matter of hitting a few boards.

It was because Emperor Tianqin couldn't do it, so they hurriedly asked their wives to come and follow Gu Ruzhen's path.

Gu Ruzhen was playing with the handkerchief, her gaze stopped on the embroidery on the handkerchief.

It was embroidered with the red maple that could be seen through the window. Before, she thought it would be against the law to embroider maple leaves on the handkerchief, but she didn't expect it to look good now.

Perhaps she should also twist the black and gold threads into one strand, and then thinly sew the edges of the veil.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing her silence for a long time, Mrs. Li asked boldly, "Do you know about this?"

The corners of Gu Ruzhen's eyes curled up, and there was a thin smile in her eyes, but this kind of smile seemed insincere, "You two ladies, Your Majesty will not discuss everything with me."

She didn't lie, she really didn't know about these courtiers being beaten.

As long as he doesn't want her to know, then these voices will not reach her ears.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly pressed Mrs. Li's hand quietly in the dark, for fear that she would say inappropriate words at this time.

Gu Ruzhen knew the purpose of these two ladies coming today.

However, she knew that it didn't mean she would do what they wanted.

If it was in the past, she might have agreed, but when the emperor changed from Chu Lichen to Qin Li, she didn't really want to.

"The red plums by this window are really beautiful. Presumably, in a few days, the minister's wife will see even more beautiful red plums."

Mrs. Shen diverted her words, and she was relieved when she saw that the atmosphere had eased.

She chatted about Shengjing's recent fashionable jewelry and clothes, seeing that Gu Ruzhen's expression hadn't changed before she talked about the changes in Tianqin in the past two years.

"The empress doesn't know that Tianqin already has a women's academy, and those who have outstanding grades in it can even enter the court and become an official after passing multiple assessments. This is something that I never dared to dream of in the past."

Naturally, the assessment for women to be officials is more stringent, and there are actually not many who can pass the selection.

However, this result is not due to the strict assessment, but because women used to study less, and in order to broaden their horizons, there were even fewer women who increased their knowledge.

Because Emperor Tianqin ordered people to establish the Women's Academy for only one year, and in this year, only the appearance can be changed, but the inside cannot be completely changed.

It seems that although many women enter women's colleges, nearly half of them enter the college for the purpose of marrying a better husband in the future.

Because entering women's colleges is a very fashionable thing nowadays, being able to enter women's colleges is a kind of affirmation and honor for women, which will greatly help them choose a better husband's family and improve their status in the husband's family s help.

Mrs. Shen paused for a moment, and continued, "On this matter, my wife and others are very grateful to Your Majesty."

She is not grateful for herself, but for her daughter, future granddaughter and so on.

Gu Ruzhen didn't speak, but waited quietly.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Shen went on to say, "So, my wife believes that the Empress that His Majesty recognizes will be a Queen who will be of great benefit to His Majesty, the people, and the country."

After saying this, Mrs. Shen raised her head and looked over steadily.

Gu Ruzhen looked back, her gaze was indifferent.

In fact, she has not considered deeper things, such as the future, at least not yet.

Because her previous experience made her feel that the future is really illusory, like a puff of smoke, which will disperse when the wind blows, and there is no trace of it, so she no longer imagines the future.

"Mrs. Shen, I can't give you an exact promise, but since you trust him, you should know that if he becomes stupid because of a woman, then he won't sit on the throne now."

When the two ladies heard the word fatuous, they knelt down in panic.

"I mentioned the word fatuous. If he gets angry, he won't involve you. You can rest assured about this."

Gu Ruzhen glanced at Wu Zhu, Wu Zhu hurriedly came to help the two of them up.

Probably because Gu Ruzhen's temper was too gentle, so Mrs. Shen remembered her husband's instructions at this time.

She hesitated, wondering if she should ask that question.

"Empress." When Madam Shen was hesitating, Madam Li had already spoken, "Have you been out these few days?"

"Have."

"Has the lady seen the woman who is going to the women's academy?"

Gu Ruzhen thought of the woman she met on the road pretending to be a scholar, she nodded, "Yes."

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Shen, and a hesitant expression gradually appeared on her face. After a few moments, she gritted her teeth and lowered her eyes slowly, "Your Majesty, do you think these women are qualified to accompany Your Majesty?"

This is the result of joint discussions between Shen Ji, Li Yu and others.
