My husband is sour every day

Chapter 1215: Opening the Imperial Examination for Women

I heard that Shen Xia is about to give birth.

Mother Shen hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

This is not the first time Shen Xia has given birth to a child.

So not worried.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, each birth is faster than the previous one.

So after Shen Xia returned to the room.

I also took a shower first.

Because I can’t take a bath during the confinement period.

Fortunately, it is winter now.

It’s easier to endure than summer.

Shen Xia had just finished taking a shower and was lying down.

It took less than a quarter of an hour.

The child was born.

Shen Xia was stunned, luckily it was fast!

Otherwise it will have to grow in a pot.

Everyone was waiting outside anxiously.

Li Yijing clenched her hands tightly.

Mother Shen picked up the child.

Shen Xia immediately asked: "Is it a prince or a princess?"

Mother Shen smiled and said, "Another son."

Shen Xia was no longer excited in an instant.

Another son.

Seven sons.

Is this an insult?

I wish you seven sons.

Why.......

Seeing that Shen Xia was not very happy, Shen's mother said: "What's wrong? A son is a son! It's not like we don't have daughters."

Shen's mother didn't understand Shen Xia's worries.

Shen Xia could only say calmly: "Well, a son is a son!"

Mother Shen asked, "Whose is this?"

Shen Xia thought for a moment and said, "Ling Heng's."

After the palace maids inside took care of Shen Xia.

People from outside come in.

The first thing the children looked at was their younger brother.

Yi Yi looked at the child in Ruyi's arms: "Auntie, is this a brother or a sister?"

Ruyi said, "It's a little prince."

I heard that the person who came in was the prince.

Someone in the middle was stunned for a moment.

Yi Yi didn't pay attention to what the adults were thinking.

She smiled and said, "Brother, then you're Xiaoqi," and then looked at the baby in the cradle and said, "Xiaoqi, I'll call you Xiaoqi from now on, okay?"

Yiyan also looked at the child: "Xiaoqi is so small!"

Yifan said, "When we were born, we were the same, maybe even a little smaller."

An An was also watching from the side.

Xiaoliu walked over and looked at him: "Wow, I have a younger brother too."

Li Yi walked over to the bed and looked at Shen Xia: "Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Xia pursed her lips: "Not bad,"

time flies.

Shen Xia spent the New Year in confinement.

Therefore, the first annual banquet of the Celestial Empire was hosted by Gu Zizhan.

Ling Heng and Li Yi came to see Shen Xia every day.

Ling Heng was still curious about who this child belonged to.

Until the first month of the year.

Shen Xia is out of confinement.

Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask for instructions.

The story of the child going to Yudie.

Xiaoqi's nickname is Xiaoqi.

His full name is Gu Chenzhou.

The father’s name must be written on the jade butterfly.

After hesitating, Shen Xia slowly spoke: "My father is Ling Heng."

Ling Heng's eyes widened as he heard this and he laughed, "My genes are so strong, it's actually mine, haha."

Then he looked at Li Yi provocatively.

Shen Xia rolled her eyes.

After hearing what Shen Xia said, the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left.

Ling Heng was seen holding the baby in the cradle with an excited look on his face.

"Xiaoqi, I am a father," he said, looking at the child in his arms excitedly.

Watch and watch.

Then he said to Shen Xia: "Yuanyuan, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Why do I feel that Xiaoqi doesn't look like me at all! And she's not as pretty as Xiaoliu."

Shen Xia: "If I say so, then so be it."

Ling Heng raised his eyebrows: "Okay, okay!"

Shen Xia looked at Li Yi beside him.

I don’t know what Li Yi is thinking.

The royal family is different from ordinary people.

She couldn't follow her own ideas.

So for the sake of the overall situation.

In fact, even a princess can have ulterior motives.

After all, if a county lady like me could eventually ascend the throne, it wouldn't be difficult for a princess to do so either.

So it’s better to put it under someone else’s name.

She has to protect An An's safety.

For her, she didn't think there was anything good about imperial power.

During the years since she ascended the throne, she has worked hard to ensure the people's well-being.

Fortunately, she likes to delegate things to others.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll eventually collapse from exhaustion one day.

No wonder the longest-lived emperor in history was only in his fifties.

Even those in their thirties left.

I am now in my early thirties.

An An has been raised by the crown prince since he was young. He has lost the innocence that a child should have, and has known since he was a child that he has responsibilities.

So Shen Xia often felt sorry for him.

But rights and obligations are equal.

So sometimes she herself is conflicted.

Ling Heng left.

Li Yi was the only one left in the room.

Shen Xia looked at Ruyi: "You guys go down too!"

Ruyi: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Xia looked at Li Yi.

Just about to speak.

Li Yi stepped forward and hugged Shen Xia: "No need to explain, I understand your concerns."

Shen Xia raised an eyebrow: "You know?"

Li Yi nodded gently: "Yeah."

Shen Xia: How come they are all so smart?

Shen Xia: "Okay."

Li Yi: "It doesn't matter whose name it is under."

Shen Xia: "Li Yi, thank you." Thank you for not fighting or competing, and always standing in her shoes and considering her.

Never made her feel embarrassed.

She is lucky.

After Shen Xia finished her confinement, she started taking birth control pills again.

Fortunately, this pill is not too troublesome if you only take one a month.

If I eat it every day, I sometimes forget to eat it.

Doctor Cui, who was originally in Yanbei City, has now come to Phoenix City.

Prosperity lasted for sixty-seven years.

Dongli and Beiqi are now the same as Dajin.

Everything is on track.

Huangchaosi's businesses spread across Dongli and Beiqi.

The colleges in both countries have already opened.

The three kingdoms now all have the same system.

As life gets better and better.

The value of population is increasing.

Before, you could buy a little maid for five taels of silver.

It’s hard to buy even fifty taels now.

why?

As life gets better, fewer families sell their children.

Moreover, according to Chinese law, human trafficking requires the signature of the person concerned.

That is to say, if parents want to sell their child, they cannot do so unless their children agree or sign.

As a result, human trafficking has become less and less common.

Sixty-seven years

Shen Xia allowed both men and women to take the imperial examinations.

this action.

The whole country was shocked.

Although in recent years, women have entered the Imperial Department and the Education Department.

But women are a minority after all.

Although everyone knew that the imperial examinations might be open to women in the future, this day came suddenly.

Let’s talk about the women in Dajin who enrolled in the open academy from the very beginning.

This is a great blessing.

Families that send their daughters to school from the beginning really have far-sighted ideas.

The imperial examinations were open to women, but the examination system remained unchanged.

It started as a Tongsheng.

However, there were never any questions specifically for men and women in the imperial examinations.

Only culture and national conditions are tested.

Jinshi means directly entering the officialdom.

Of course, a juren can take the examinations for the Imperial Court and the Education Department, but he can also become a teacher.

It’s just that there are fewer and fewer positions now.

The first year that the imperial examination system was opened.

There are Yi Yi and Xiao Wan.

Among the princess's tutors back then, none of the women was willing to strive for fame and fortune on her own.

They were taught to obey their fathers at home, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands' death.

I would rather place my hopes on my husband.

And Xiao Wan has been attending Master Yi's classes over the years.

So her ideas are completely different from those of the noble ladies from aristocratic families.

Instead of putting all your hopes on others.

Might as well rely on yourself.
