From the birth of a son to the separation of Nuwa and her path to becoming a god

The officials selected the ten best examination papers and presented them to Meng Liu to nominate the top three.

She unfolded the examination papers in front of her and read them with Qi Minghe.

Soon Qi Minghe named the top three.

None of the officials said anything, but one of them couldn't help but speak.

"We have devoted ourselves to studying for decades. It is unreasonable for a man to serve as the examiner for today's palace examination. Now he is allowed to appoint the top three. Don't we have no women in Daliang? We need to let a man do it. Point your fingers!"

Just as Meng Liu was about to speak, Qi Minghe patted her hand to comfort her.

This woman's remarks will definitely not appear just once in the future. As long as he participates in government affairs, there will be more and more doubts.

He wants to discuss the world with women in the future, so he should stand up and resolve such matters himself.

If Meng Liu is allowed to speak, these people can be frightened in a short time, but what about the future?

Qi Minghe knew very well that he should earn his own face.

"You and I are both from the Liang Kingdom. The only difference is our gender. Now I stand here as a concubine instead of a son. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."

The woman retorted: "As a royal concubine, you should stay in the harem to raise heirs for Your Majesty, instead of interfering in court affairs!"

Qi Minghe's eyes were solemn: "You said you have devoted yourself to learning for decades, but how did you know that I didn't do the same? I am a royal concubine. Although I have wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation; although I have the foundation, it is better to wait for the time. I will use my own strength. Why not apply what you have learned in this way?”

"I know you are dissatisfied. Today's test paper contains imperial examination questions. While you were taking the exam, I also made the same test paper. You might as well read it and discuss it later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Liu quickly called to the eunuch to take Qi Minghe's test paper just now and show it to the candidates below for reference.

The last big question in this year's imperial examination was asked by Meng Liu.

At that time, she had not reconciled with Qi Minghe, so she could not ask any decent questions, so she could only ask the candidates to answer this year's floods in the south.

After reading it, everyone had nothing to say. Their strategies were just words on paper after all, but Qi Junfei's test paper not only cited classics but even mentioned the actual situation, and even mentioned more than one solution.

Everyone was in admiration at the moment.

The woman was still dissatisfied: "Even if you are knowledgeable, you are still a man. Throughout the ages, men should be familiar with male virtues and precepts, not the Four Books and Five Classics!"

Meng Liu couldn't help it any longer: "Who taught you this? Doesn't it say in the Four Books and Five Classics that men can't study? I would love to learn more, so how can I still distinguish between men and women? If Qi Junfei hadn't been born a boy, she would have been Just join the court and become an official!"

"I leave my words here today. Concubine Qi Jun is full of treasures. It is a shame to put her in the harem. From tomorrow onwards, she will go to court with me!"

Seeing His Majesty's defense, Na Jizi didn't dare to say anything.

After everyone thanked them tremblingly, the palace examination ended successfully.

Qi Lingyu was also watching in horror.

Everyone in the world said that she doted on her sons, but no one was as doting as the empress. She started fighting with her sons over a man, and her son really became a demon concubine!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Minghe for many days and I miss him so much. Can you have a few words with him alone?"

Meng Liu doesn't care, Qi Minghe's favorability level has reached 40, and he won't harm her.

Qi Lingyu's eyes indicated that Qi Minghe followed him to the side hall.

She hurriedly said: "What's going on? Why did you come to participate in the palace examination with the empress?"

Qi Minghe explained: "Mother, the empress treats me very well. Please don't target her again in the future."

Qi Lingyu's eyes widened: "Minghe, have you been threatened in any way? You have only been in the palace for three months and you have forgotten what your mother said before?"

Qi Minghe was a little shy: "I didn't forget, but she said that in the future she would only have one man, Erchen..."

Qi Lingyu slapped her thigh: "Qi Minghe, you are confused! She just can't control the court to take action on you, you must not get in her way!"

Then she said anxiously: "I won't say anything about the imperial examination. Where is your intelligence in the past? Why did you believe her after just a few words?"

Qi Minghe straightened his expression: "Don't worry, mother, I am not a dull person. How about the empress? I have eyes to see. She is definitely not what you imagined."

"Whether it's what I imagined or not, you, a man, shouldn't interfere in the imperial examination. If word gets out, people will just say that I don't know how to teach my son!"

Qi Minghe was speechless.

Look, no matter how good her mother is to him, she still makes a clear distinction. In her mind, men should not be in the court. What she is doing now is not a contribution to the country, but an embarrassment!

He had no right to resent his mother, but he felt really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there is Meng Liu, she is the only one who doesn't say that men should stay in the backyard.

At the same time, Kunning Palace.

"Husband, what should we do? There are no heirs in the harem now. Qi Minghe has been doting on his own for nearly three months. I heard that today he went to the previous court with his majesty. If the eldest daughter of the emperor is asked to crawl out of his belly, how can the harem still be restored? There is a place for ministers and concubines!" Rong Shijun said hurriedly.

Zheng Hekun's mouth was full of bitterness. The concubines had not had a good time in the past three months, but he had not had an easy time.

In the past, no matter how busy His Majesty was, he would always come to his palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. But since Qi Minghe entered the palace, except for the last auction, His Majesty has never been to Kunning Palace once!

Not only that, after the last greeting incident happened, His Majesty directly exempted Qi Minghe from paying greetings every day.

His reputation as an imperial husband has been completely lost in the past few months!

Jade Shijun was a little smarter: "It is absolutely impossible for Your Majesty to dote on the Regent's son so much. I guess she must have had her own intentions."

Rong Shijun said without hesitation: "That's what you said three months ago, so I endured it for so long, but as three months passed, His Majesty was still like this. If we wait any longer, Qi Minghe's children will come out! "

Zheng Hekun looked gloomy: "Okay, stop arguing, what kind of behavior are you doing?!"

"There are so many favored people in this harem. As long as he can't give birth to a child, there's nothing to be afraid of no matter how much favor he gets!"

Rong Shijun and Jade Shijun both knelt down: "I, my concubines, all obey the emperor's arrangements!"

That night Zheng Hekun sent someone to send a message asking Meng Liu to come.

There is no expression on Qi Minghe's face. He is very happy. He will go to court tomorrow. Although he is His Majesty's concubine, he can also observe the important affairs of the government!

"Your Majesty is in the middle of the palace. I want to spend the winter here. There are a lot of matters in the palace. It is appropriate to ask your majesty to go and discuss it. You can go."

Seeing that he was not unhappy, Meng Liu got up and headed to Kunning Palace.

"Join Your Majesty."

Meng Liu waved his hand.

"Tell me, why did you call me here today?"
