Chapter 351 There is something wrong with this 5th princess
Xiao Yue didn't seem to notice the change in Jiang Suining's expression. She was immersed in the imagination of her own great achievements, with smiles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue with complicated eyes.
She probably understood why the fifth princess in front of her was confined to her house because of her absurd words and deeds.
The idea of women taking the imperial examination sounds really exciting, but it is easier said than done.
Not to mention that there has never been such a precedent, and how could the men who have already gained the advantage allow women to enter the court and compete with them for the already limited power and status.
But in the mouth of the person in front of me, it seemed as if he was talking about something that was within easy reach.
After Xiao Yue came to her senses, she realized that she had not heard Jiang Suining's reply. Seeing that there was no joy or longing on the other party's face, she looked confused.
"Miss Jiang, do you think I'm bragging?"
Jiang Suining just smiled and said, "The princess is of noble status, and I dare not discuss what you want to do."
"In fact, it doesn't matter even if you admit it. Don't worry, I'm different from those other princes and princesses. I won't punish you for a few random words. In fact, what I want to do is to change this situation."
Xiao Yue looked at Jiang Suining seriously, with a bright light in her eyes, like a morning full of hope and vigor.
"Ms. Jiang, I know that in your opinion, these may not be possible at all, but this is indeed my goal and it is also my true feelings. The reason why I say it in front of you without any reservation is because I hope you can lend me a helping hand."
"Me?" Jiang Suining frowned quickly.
"That's right, it's you. You are the one I chose." Xiao Yue said in a firm tone.
Since she traveled through time, although she was a princess, she was restricted everywhere. She had had enough of such a life. Since God chose her and let her travel through time, she must use the wisdom of a new era woman to make a good career.
No matter what era it is, if you want to make a career, you naturally cannot do without financial support. Jiang Suining is good at running a business and has a lot of wealth. As long as he can convince her to join him, he won't have to worry about all the financial expenses in the future.
Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue, "Can I ask why? Is it just because my business is doing well?"
"Of course not." Xiao Yue denied it immediately, rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "It's because I saw from Miss Jiang's business that you don't want to be trapped in the boudoir, and you have a heart that wants to break free from the shackles. And having such a heart is the first criterion for my selection."
Of course, having money is also an important factor, but she couldn't tell Jiang Suining the first time they met that she was coming for her money.
Jiang Suining chuckled. Although his words did not sound false, they did reveal a sense of flattery that was intended to put someone on a pedestal.
Moreover, since he was not from a wealthy family and had no power, how could he choose her for help if not because of money?
Facing Xiao Yue's gaze, Jiang Suining did not expose her, but remained silent for a while before asking again.
"Princess, is that all?"
If one really wants to win over an ally, one should at least investigate the other party's background in advance and inquire about his or her daily style of doing things and temperament. However, she felt that Xiao Yue did not seem to do these things, or even consider them.
Of course, even if the other party really checked, since it is the first time you meet, you should at least try to observe them.
It's so straightforward. Is the person in front of me just saying it casually because he is in a good mood, or is he too naive?
Xiao Yue was somewhat confused by Jiang Suining's question. At the same time, she also noticed that the other party's reaction was quite different from what she had expected at the beginning.
After all, she was a princess, and she took the initiative to show her goodwill and stated her purpose honestly. She originally thought that even if Jiang Suining would not agree immediately, she would be more or less excited or flattered.
But at this moment, the expression on Jiang Suining's face was as calm as a frozen lake, and she could not see any emotion.
Did I choose the wrong person?
Xiao Yue frowned even more tightly, "Miss Jiang, you are also a woman, don't you look forward to that kind of world?"
"Princess, I am naturally looking forward to it. But..." Jiang Suining was silent, and glanced at the courtiers who were attending the banquet in the distance, "Princess, you mentioned the women's imperial examination, so how do you plan to convince His Majesty and the courtiers?"
"I have already become famous for my poetry talent at the palace banquet. I think it won't be long before this news spreads. In addition, I also know a lot of knowledge and skills that you don't know, which can be used to make a name for myself."
"And then?" Jiang Suining looked at her.
"As long as I can prove that women are no less talented or capable than men, I can then make it happen and let more people realize that it is a waste of talent to just lock women up in seclusion. By then, the issue of women taking the imperial examination will be an inevitable trend."
Xiao Yue said this with great confidence.
Jiang Suining shook his head when he heard this.
It seemed that the person in front of her really hadn't realized that the palace banquet she mentioned had already aroused suspicion.
And if you want to create momentum, it is not enough to just let everyone see a talented woman.
However, it was rare to hear a woman say this, so Jiang Suining still wanted to give her a few words of warning.
"Fifth Princess, it is indeed rare that you can be so considerate of the women in the world, but..."
"I know what you want to say." Xiao Yue interrupted Jiang Suining with a look of understanding. "You just want to say that women have always stayed in the boudoir and the backyard, and no one has ever thought that women can become officials, so even if such a policy is promulgated, it will definitely be difficult to implement. But..."
Xiao Yue raised the corners of her mouth, raised the corners of her eyes, and continued speaking.
"I'm not afraid. Now that I've made up my mind, I'm determined to fight to the end. I'll let those court officials and all the men in the world see that women can also show their talents and make a name for themselves."
Jiang Suining choked for a rare moment.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to praise the person in front of her for her confidence or think she was arrogant.
The idea of opening the imperial examination to women was still a castle in the air, but the other party had already thought of its subsequent implementation.
Why would a princess who grew up in the harem think this matter is so simple?
As Jiang Suining lowered his eyes, doubts emerged in his heart.
Although she had never met the Fifth Princess before, the Fifth Princess in front of her was really... a little bit wrong!
When he looked up again, Jiang Suining no longer intended to continue talking to the other party.
"The princess has lofty ambitions, and I sincerely hope that she can succeed."
"As for the alliance..."
"I am of low status, and I am usually entangled in many business matters, so..." Jiang Suining noticed Xiao Yue's unhappy expression before she finished speaking, and changed the subject, "So, I wonder if the princess could give me some time to think about it carefully?"
