It is a big deal for the prince of the East Palace to take a concubine, and Tai Shiling waited for a long time before choosing a good day for a big wedding, August 18.

It is the golden autumn time, the prince gets married, and all countries come to the court.

Approaching August, the envoys of various states came, and after the sea area of Mingzhou was stabilized, there were more and more states that established diplomatic relations at sea, and the Dasheng Heavenly Dynasty deserved its name.

The Mid-Autumn Festival and the great joy of the East Palace, Chang'an City is full of lanterns, lanterns are hung high, even at night it is as bright as day.

The East Palace got married, and Zhao Jue, who was recuperating outside, also had to rush back to the palace.

The autumn test is imminent, and when the ministers see Zhao Jue, they see a life-saving straw, and they play one after another, hoping that Zhao Jue will cancel the woman's participation in the autumn test.

August 12 is the time for the autumn exams, and if women are allowed to participate in the autumn exams, there is really no chance to change.

When Zhao Jue returned to the palace, he was dizzy when he saw these movements, and he only felt that the illness of the past year had been in vain.

Meng Jingshu saw that Zhao Jue had a headache, and rubbed his head and said, "Your Majesty, why does you have such a headache?"

Zhao Jue said: "This scientific examination is for the imperial court to elect talents, but the duty of women has always been to teach their husbands and children, and to be good and virtuous......

Meng Jingshu said, "What's the aftermath? It's a pity to trap a woman in the back house, you see that Lu Wanzhi has been Mrs. Wu'an Hou for three years, and she wastes her talent in the mansion, and the outer room is bullied on 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 went to find ginseng...... Where did these ministers come from today?"

Zhao Jue sighed and said, "Alas."

Meng Jingshu said again: "Lu Wanzhi has spent more than ten years of her life on raising female students, hoping that women can take the imperial examination and embark on the right path, and you robbed other people's sons, which can be regarded as making up for it."

Regardless of the courtiers' objections, during the Chang'an autumn examination, Lu Wanzhi's female apprentices finally approached the examination room.

He Zhifei didn't enter the examination room after all, not because she was weak, but because of her grandmother.

Since the apprentices entered the examination room, Lu Wanzhi has been very worried, there are thousands of scholars in Chang'an, and it is extremely difficult to move in the middle school, although she is confident in the students' knowledge, but she is also afraid that they will enter the examination room for the first time, and they will be nervous.

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

Lu Wanzhi said: "Eighteen years, a full eighteen years, Xie Jinzhi's unwillingness and grievances back then, it's time to let go today."

In the past ten years, Lu Wanzhi has single-handedly brought up these female apprentices, and they are all looking forward to this day.

On this day, she was even happier than her son getting married.

Over the years, Lu Wanzhi has no bottom in her heart, she is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, she knows that if she teaches some male students by herself, she will definitely make Qinglan Academy have a few more jinshi, and even champions.

Lu Wanzhi has had countless nightmares, it is these girls who have been reading books for more than ten years, and they are forced to be trapped in the back house and their husbands and children.

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

The day of the end of the autumn examination is exactly August 14.

The Mid-Autumn Festival and the wedding of the prince of the East Palace, the ranking of the autumn examination will not be known until after August 20.

On August 18th, the autumn is high and cool, the blue sky and white clouds, the autumn equinox is cool, and the city is full of golden cinnamon fragrance.

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

August 23rd.

The Chang'an autumn test list is about to be released, Lu Wanzhi went to the palace early and took the list from Zhao Jue, she trembled and didn't dare to look at the list of the autumn test.

Zhao Heng said, "I'll help you see it!"

Lu Wanzhi said, "Forget it, I'll see it myself!"

Lu Wanzhi looked at the first name on the list, which was Zhou Wenying, then Lu Wanjun, and then Yun Ruoxue, who ranked fifth, Qian Jiao, who was ninth, Xu Ying, who was twelfth, and Zhou Zhi'e who was nineteenth

, Cao Meng of the twenty-third, and the last one of Heyi.

Lu Wanzhi saw the list of suitable people and said, "She is suitable for her, did she even participate in the autumn exam?"

"Little aunt!"

He Yi came out of the hall, walked to Lu Wanzhi and said, "I'm sorry, after I gave birth to a child, I abandoned my studies, but fortunately, I am also on the list, better than my little uncle!"

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

He Yi gently patted Lu Wanzhi's back and said, "Little aunt, 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 Chang'an's autumn exams came out, the women were all able to win the lift, and they were among the best, which can be said to be in an uproar in the court, and the people who surrounded the excitement were also impressed.

There are even many people who have the intention of wanting their daughters to study, and lo and behold, this woman is not weaker than a man.

Zhao Heng smiled on the side and said, "Now you can finally sleep peacefully, right? I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days!"

Lu Wanzhi glared at Zhao Heng, who was talking nonsense, but she was too happy today, so she didn't bother with Zhao Heng.

After the autumn test, Lu Wanzhi didn't dare to slack off, in the end, there was still a spring test, although there were many literati in Chang'an, although they were top, Dasheng was also full of talents.

Except for Heyi, the other seven female students, except for Zhou Wenying, were all married, but they still resolutely left their husbands to study at Qinglan Academy.

Lu Wan also planned to take Xinghu to teach at Qinglan Academy, and since he married Zhao Heng, the days when the husband and wife slept on different beds can be said to be numbered.

When Zhao Heng learned of this, he was full of disagreement, "No, I don't agree."

Lu Wanzhi said, "If you don't agree, you have to agree."

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

Lu Wanzhi said: "I can't sleep for one day, I can always fall asleep for two days and three days, our apprentices are all newlyweds, and they are willing to separate, our old husband and wife......

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

Lu Wanzhi said, "It's just half a year's work, every time I take a break in the middle of the year, I promise to come back early, the stars are still in the palace, and I will always return."

Zhao Heng looked at Lu Wanzhi very reluctantly, but he could only let her go and send her to Qinglan Academy.

Qinglan Academy is still the same as it was eighteen years ago, unchanged, and the Lu Garden below is still the same as before.

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

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

"Then are you willing to be left alone by such a good-looking man?"

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "You are almost forty years old, and you are already as good-looking as you used to be! Now in the academy, any little scholar is better looking than you."

Zhao Heng puffed out his cheeks and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to accompany you, what if a little scholar likes you?"

Lu Wanzhi said, "You don't care about the affairs of the court?"

Zhao Heng said: "The imperial brother stays in the palace, and Cheng'er is also married, so I don't need to do anything as a regent."

Zhao Heng is not a person who likes to play with power, compared to the court in Chang'an, he prefers to go to Shanyin to be a small county magistrate, if it is not for the unwillingness to have a lower official position than Shen Luozhi, he thinks it is better to do practical things for the people as a county magistrate.

At the end of the Year of the Dragon, the 29th day of the Lunar New Year.

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

This Chinese New Year is a succession of happy events for the king of Chu.

It's not just Xu Hongshan who gave birth to a child, she became a grandmother and had to hold her 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.

Heyi is pregnant again, and the Chu Wangfu can be described as thriving.

The Gu family is also full of happy events, Yuhe and Gu Qingchi's daughter Gu Kexing have set up a marriage, it is with Zhao Du, and this family affair is still matched by the Empress Dowager Gu.

Empress Dowager Gu has lived in the Liang Mansion for so many years, and she is also like her own grandson to Zhao Du, and Gu Kexing is the most beloved niece and granddaughter of her mother's family.

Zhao Du accompanied the Empress Dowager Gu back to Chang'an to participate in Zhao Cheng's wedding, and the Empress Dowager Gu saw that her niece and granddaughter were about the same age as Zhao Du, and their mothers were former friends, so they matched several times.

Lu Wan, who learned of this, was a little surprised but also happy, but Yuhe and Yulan's children became in-laws, which can be described as a great thing.

In the Lu family, there are also happy events, Princess Huaying is pregnant again.

Princess Huaying is now thirty-five or sixteen, and it is a great joy to be pregnant.

In February, the spring examination, which attracted the attention of literati, was cold, and the spring was bitterly 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 able to win the gold list."

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

Lu Wanzhi watched Xie Jin enter, only to feel that the biting cold was not cold at all.

Jiang Li said beside Lu Wanzhi, "When Xie Jin wins, the students of our Tianzi class will all be considered to have won the fame."

The spring trial list was released in mid-February, and Lu Wanzhi also learned about the list in advance.

Seeing Zhou Wenying in the first place, Lu Wanzhi reached out and gently touched Zhou Wenying's name.

After reading the list, Lu Wanzhi chuckled and said, "All my apprentices have made a name for themselves except for Heyi, those in the Tianzi class, and my seven girls."

Zhao Heng said, "Actually, you should also go to the examination room to try."

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "My apprentice can be named on the gold list, which is enough."

During the palace test, Zhao Jue was afraid of the old ministers in the court after all, and was afraid of blood splashing in the hall, Zhou Wenying Rao was outstanding and only won the position of the leader.

In the ten years of Jing'an, a total of 18 women participated in the spring examination, and 15 women won the Jinshi, and in the same year, women's academies were opened in various parts of Dasheng.

In April of the same year, Emperor Jing'an fell seriously ill and collapsed, and the queen was heartbroken, and then died in January.

The eighteen-year-old crown prince Zhao Cheng ascended the throne as the emperor, and the era name was Shiyuan.
