Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying

He got up and dressed, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the white cat sleeping on the table.

The white cat was curled up in a ball at this time, its snow-white fur rising and falling slightly with its breathing, and it looked like it was sleeping soundly.

King Chen just glanced at it indifferently, without paying too much attention, and walked out.

His figure quickly disappeared at the door, leaving only the white cat still sleeping, unaware of everything around it.

In the flower hall, the morning light shines through the carved doors and windows onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

As soon as Prince Chen stepped into the flower hall, Xie Yixiao followed him in.

With steady steps and a respectful look, he bowed to King Chen and called out, "Father."

The voice echoed in the quiet flower hall with a hint of respect.

Prince Dust Xie Mochen turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on his eldest son, he simply said "hmm" and walked to the main seat and sat down.

Xie Yixiao walked to the tea table beside him, picked up the teapot skillfully, and poured a cup of tea for his father and himself.

The aroma of tea rises and spreads in the air.

Xie Yixiao put down the teapot and then slowly spoke about the women's imperial examinations and going to the battlefield.

His eyes were firm and his words revealed his persistence in this matter.

King Chen frowned and looked at his eldest son, with a complicated look in his eyes. He neither objected nor agreed immediately, but asked in a deep tone: "Do you know how difficult it was for your mother and her family to run a women's college back then?"

After hearing this, Xie Yixiao fell silent.

He had indeed tried to understand, but he knew in his heart that the difficulties he knew were just the tip of the iceberg.

Just then, Mo Er and Mo Si came in with breakfast and placed the exquisite dishes and steaming porridge on the table.

The two of them sat down and ate together.

Prince Dust Xie Mochen withdrew his gaze, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat breakfast. For a while, the only sound in the flower hall was the slight collision of bowls and chopsticks.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, King Chen stood up and called Xie Yixiao to prepare to go to court together.

The father and son walked out of the flower hall and came to the gate of the palace, where a gorgeous carriage was already waiting.

The two men boarded the carriage one after another, and the carriage started slowly and drove towards the palace.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was a little depressing.

The father and son had two similar cold and handsome faces, as if they were carved from the same mold.

None of them spoke first, they just sat quietly, thinking about their own things.

The carriage drove smoothly on the road, passing through the bustling streets and heading towards the imperial palace.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally entered the palace smoothly.

The Dust King Xie Mochen then broke the silence, looked at Xie Yixiao and said, "This matter will be explained by this king."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yixiao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally nodded.

He knew in his heart that he had little experience in the court and his words carried little weight.

If I were to propose it myself, those stubborn old ministers would definitely not be convinced, but it would carry more weight if my father came forward.

The atmosphere in the court was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

When the steady and powerful voice of King Chen sounded, proposing that women could participate in scientific examinations and join the army just like men, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

Almost all the old ministers seemed to be ignited and spoke out in opposition.

The voices intertwined together, like surging waves, impacting the tranquility of the court wave after wave.

The Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister were the vanguards of opposition. Their faces were filled with anger and their words were fierce, as if King Chen had made some outrageous remarks.

The left prime minister stroked his beard and said in a high-pitched voice: "Women participating in politics and joining the army is a violation of social order. It has never happened since ancient times. We must not set a precedent!"

The right prime minister also echoed, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty: "The affairs of the court are the foundation of the country. If women get involved, there will be chaos in the world!"

Their words echoed in the court, causing many veteran officials to nod in agreement.

Amidst all the opposition, most of the young ministers looked at each other in silence. Only Jiang Muyan stood firmly on the side of King Chen.

He stood tall and straight, with a calm expression. His scholarly elegance revealed a firmness that was in stark contrast to the ministers around him who were either angry or hesitant.

Emperor Sheng Yuan sat high on the dragon throne, quietly watching the quarrels among the court officials below. His face was as gloomy as water, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

In fact, he agreed with King Chen's point of view in his heart.

He has been paying close attention to the development of the Women's College since its founding. It is obvious to all that the women who have graduated from the college have demonstrated extraordinary talents.

However, even if they have the ability, they can only live a decent life within a limited scope and through some special means.

He was never able to enter the court, let alone have the opportunity to join the army and serve the country. This was undoubtedly a huge waste of talent.

He recalled the five years he spent in his aunt's fiefdom, which was an eye-opening experience for him.

There, he came into contact with all kinds of people and various ideas, among which the concept of gender equality deeply touched him.

In his fiefdom, he had seen countless self-respecting, self-reliant women, some of whom ran huge businesses and became wealthy; some of whom were proficient in medicine and saved the dying and the wounded; some of whom were well-read and had extraordinary talents. Their abilities and achievements were no less than those of men, and in many ways they even did better than men.

However, most of the ministers in the court were vehemently opposed to King Chen's suggestion, which made him frown and feel helpless.

He knew very well that if the policy was enforced by force, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the court. In desperation, he could only announce that the matter would be shelved for the time being and would be discussed again after the New Year.

After the court session, Jiang Muyan followed closely behind King Chen, with a hint of persistence in his eyes.

The carriage was parked outside the Xuande Hall, and its tall and magnificent body was particularly eye-catching in the sun.

King Chen had actually already noticed that someone was following him.

When he was about to board the carriage, he turned his head to look at Jiang Muyan's bookish face, nodded slightly, and said, "You can come up too."

Xie Yixiao saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Jiang Muyan carefully, but he didn't expect that he would know his father.

However, he was very happy to see that his good friend was recognized by his father. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

In the carriage, Jiang Muyan was a little reserved, but he still bowed to King Chen, "Thank you King Chen for the jade pendant you gave me. If it weren't for the jade pendant, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to serve in the court."

What he said was the truth.

Xie Mochen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I have received your gratitude. I will be a good official and benefit the people. Don't forget your original intention."

I gave him the jade pendant because I saw that this young scholar was a talented person.

After all, the more outstanding the younger generations are, the stronger Fengyun Country will become.
