Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Now that the results of the Tongsheng Examination have been obtained, everyone wants to know which of the girls who took the intrauterine examination or those who took the external examination performed better?

The emperor was also very curious about this matter, and immediately arranged for someone to re-rank the girls, and found that the first place in the internal examination was three places behind the one who took the external examination.

The first place in the internal examination was Xue Baochai, and the first place in the external examination was Lin Daiyu, who took the examination with the scientific name Lin Mo.

After Xue Baochai entered the palace, she cleverly learned how to hide her clumsiness, so she was pretentious during the exam and did not use 100% of her ability.

But she was willing to be inferior to others, so she got this result.

The emperor liked her answer sheet very much and thought she was knowledgeable and talented, so he favored her that night after learning the information.

Lin Daiyu's situation was different here. Originally, the men thought Lin Mo was a man, and they had just boasted a lot to help Lin Mo become famous.

Now that they saw that she was a little girl, a group of men who boasted that they had seen Lin Mo learn how to learn with their own eyes were embarrassed.

This matter is not trivial. Not only are the students who failed the exam together making a fuss, but some of the students who passed the exam complained that they were inferior to women, even if they didn't want the student quota.

Later, the emperor singled out the female students who had taken the scientific examination, and everyone realized that there were as many as forty-three female students taking the imperial examination, and thirty-three of them had passed the examination.

Now the men couldn't sit still.

"I'm just going to say it? I've said it a long time ago! Anyone who asks a woman to take the exam has a terrible heart!"

"How can it be possible that my knowledge is lower than that of women? There must be something behind this!"

"Brother Chen is nothing more than that! It turns out you are second among women, hahahaha."

The men not only laughed at the girls, but also at everyone who did not laugh at them.

Later, things turned into a storm, and almost everyone was demanding that the women's student quota be cancelled.

"Ruhai, what do you think? Do you have any good ideas?"

The emperor drank tea leisurely in front of Lin Ruhai. He was very satisfied with the result.

The ministers are not smart enough to get over his head. Although the Supreme Emperor is still suppressing him, this is not the reason for the ministers to be presumptuous.

The emperor was originally very happy about the emergence of new forces in the country. Women being able to take scientific examinations was originally his counterattack against the disobedient ministers in the court.

He wanted to tell them, "I don't need you. Even if I use women, I don't need you. It's useless for you to make trouble!"

But when things calmed down, he felt uncomfortable again.

It felt like I had slipped into Lin Ruhai's trap.

He hadn't noticed it at first, but who made the little palace maid he favored smart? This was a desperate plan to disrupt the stability of the court. How could he agree to it in such a hurry?

Lin Ruhai was silent. He really just wanted Daiyu to stand upright in the history books.

His power was still too weak, and he only relied on the emperor's will. As long as the emperor didn't want it, he would be locked in a cage.

"Well, there is no way around this. There is nothing trivial in the court. This goes against the will of the people. I am not even able to sit on the throne. Why don't you let your girl go home first, and you can become an official! I It’s more convenient to use you, and it can be considered as making up for you.”

The emperor knew that the girls behind Lin Mo were meaningless, but Lin Mo, the head of the case, was the most troublesome. Whether she took the exam or not was a sign.

"Haha, I didn't expect that men in the world would be so...cautious. They can't stand a girl giving birth to them."

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly. His most careless thing was to underestimate the emperor's suspicion.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. All the ministers are against it now, but your daughter is very talented and I will definitely not let her down. Why not let her enter the palace..."

"My little girl is not in good health. If she was healthy, why would I choose such a difficult path?"

Lin Ruhai continued to smile bitterly, which calmed the emperor's suspicion.

Originally, he thought that Lin Ruhai had some ulterior motives in not asking Daiyu to enter the palace, but now he saw that he couldn't trust the little woman at all. They are jealous and not as generous as men!

After seeing the emperor off, Lin Ruhai looked back and saw her daughter standing by the hanging flower door looking at him.

He disappointed his daughter.

"Dad, it's okay. I..."

Daiyu knew Lin's father's difficulties. She originally wanted to take the scientific test secretly and then show it off after winning the exam.

Or a woman may spend her whole life pretending to be a man, just to realize her inner ambition.

But there are definitely pros and cons to this idea. The good thing is that others won't be on guard, and by the time she is exposed, she may already be in a high position.

The disadvantage is that if your identity is exposed, you will be beheaded.

After all, this is deceiving the emperor.

So after knowing that she could pass the scientific examination honestly, she understood more about the extent of Lin's father's love for her.

Daiyu felt very touched. In her life, she had two parents who loved her wholeheartedly. No need to be dependent on others, no need to be frightened, and be loved wholeheartedly...

"Father! My ambition is not limited to the court. I can also do many things."

Lin Ruhai was very pleased to see that her daughter was not knocked down by this setback, but became more and more courageous.

But if she couldn't take an aboveboard path, she would only face more ups and downs in the future, and he couldn't bear to let her go.

Jia Min was also listening. She was originally studying the recipe in the kitchen, but she only found out about it when Yinglian came over to report it.

No one can stand in the way of my daughter!

Jia Min knew that the previous emperor was very willing to have female members, and Lin Ruhai had already checked and filled up the gaps in this matter...

She had an intuition that a woman must be behind this. Because this matter is not originally a matter of antagonism between men and women. As long as Daiyu did not become a high-ranking official, the opposition should not be so strong.

This is a childbirth test, and many women are here to test the waters. Originally, this was the special purpose, and maybe this is the only time for this day. Originally, this matter was just because Lin Ruhai was happy for Daiyu, and everyone else was just a foil.

If this is Xiao Daiyu, then Xue Baochai, who is alongside Daiyu in the original work...

Jia Min suddenly thought of what Jia Mu had said, that Baochai had gone to the palace to be the queen's wife. Then she thought of the theory of good and evil in the original work, and she suspected that Xue Baochai was causing trouble!

It's not surprising that she managed to get it right. It was really because Jia Min knew that she was in a book, and books are divided into haloes of protagonists.

Since there is a heroine dispute between Daiyu and Baochai in the original work, their halo is definitely not clear.

This ability to focus on the protagonist, no matter how much or how little, is much more convenient than Lin Ruhai's search for a needle in a haystack to find the key to a problem. By the time he wanted to find a loophole to solve the emperor's will, Jia Min had already gone online through Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun.

Yuanchun has been in the palace for many years, so it is impossible for him to have no one to help him. Through Bao Qin beside Yuan Chun, Jia Min learned about the emperor's favor for Baochai and Yuan Chun.

With Lin Ruhai taking care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, the harem was left to the women. Jia Min used her rich theory of palace fighting strategies to successfully help Yuan Chun become a concubine.

And didn’t Baochai care about the affairs of the emperor’s court? She is so knowledgeable and talented, so she must know about the Empress Wu Zetian, right?

When the emperor and empress found out that Baochai's bedtime reading was the Secret History of Wu Zetian, they were embarrassed.
