Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

In the fifth year of the implementation of the new education, the emperor held the first women's imperial examination in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Qing Gege, the daughter of Prince Yu, was nominated by the emperor. No.2 fell on the head of Chen Zhihua, the third daughter of the Chen family in Haining.

For women's scientific examinations, most of the veterans didn't take it seriously, thinking that the matter was deliberately promoted by the emperor. How could it be possible for women to have talents that are not inferior to men?

But because the top three in the imperial examination had to go to the hall to face the saints, in order to avoid losing their dignity in front of the hall, the veterans had to fetch the answer sheets of the top three overnight. Handwriting?Could it be that after receiving the same education as men, women can also become great talents in the world?

The veterans thought angrily.

Qing Gege was brought up by Empress Xiao Shengxian, grew up in the palace, and was influenced by her ears and eyes, so she must have some insights into the country's political affairs;

Lang Gege is a member of the royal family, and his mother came from the Nalan family, which is famous for its talent and learning. It is not surprising that she has outstanding literary talent;

As for the No.3 Chen Zhihua, she is the daughter of the Chen family in Haining. The Chen family has had hairpin tassels for generations, and it is easy for the whole family to cultivate a brilliant woman like Chen Zhihua...

The veterans racked their brains to find reasons for the three daughters to write wonderful articles, either because of their extraordinary backgrounds or the merits of their father and brother, but they did not want to admit that the women were indeed as good as the men.

Of course, even if the veterans find hundreds of millions of reasons for this matter in their hearts, it is a foregone conclusion that the three women will enter the Qianqing Palace to face Sheng Xie'en tomorrow morning.

……

After the customary court meeting ended, the emperor summoned the top three women in the imperial examination to enter the hall to face the saint.

After the eunuch shouted, the three women successively entered the temple that had been out of reach for women for thousands of years.

Manchao civil and military officials gave way to allow them to pass, while curiously and harshly looking at the three talented women selected this time: Qingge is gentle, Langege is cold, Chen Zhihua...

When the veterans saw Chen Zhihua approaching with nodding head and lowered eyebrows, they were as good as being hit by a hammer. University scholar Fu Heng almost couldn't stand still, and before the emperor could speak, he couldn't wait to say: "Miss Chen, you are Qianlong 14 Annual?"

"How did the bachelor know that Zhihua was born in the 14th year of Qianlong?"

Chen Zhihua raised his eyes, quite surprised.

The empress dowager, who was sitting in the golden palace with the emperor, also looked disappointed when she saw Zhihua's appearance, and said to the emperor in a low voice: "Emperor, don't blame the university scholar for being disrespectful in front of the hall. two."

"She and my mother-in-law... she was born exactly the same as my mother-in-law..."

When Yong Cong remembered, Empress Fucha had passed away. He only vaguely knew that his biological mother was the most virtuous and beautiful woman in the world, but he had no memory of her voice and smile. , After passing the knowledge test step by step and rewarding the family and parents, the three of them were ordered to wait in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and changed their clothes to prepare for the palace banquet.

……

……

Qing Gege grew up in the palace, Lang Gege was a member of the royal family, so naturally he knew the rules of court banquets well, but Chen Zhihua came from the Chen family in Haining, although he was born as a lady, he was not familiar with court etiquette.

Therefore, the three of them left the Qing Palace, and Nanny Rong, who was in front of the Empress Dowager, sent the clothes that the young woman needed for the palace banquet to Chen Zhihua's hands, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhihua, the Queen Mother heard that you are attending the palace banquet for the first time. Worried that you will not be fully prepared, I specially asked the servants to come and guide me."

"The queen mother really said that?"

Chen Zhihua was born with a delicate heart, and he suspected that he had another relationship with the royal family when Master Fu Heng showed surprise to her. Now that the Queen Mother and Nanny Rong treated him unusually, he became more and more concerned Something is wrong.

Nanny Rong smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager always loves and cherishes talents, and takes care of every talented woman in the world."

Just so?

Chen Zhihua didn't believe it.

But Nanny Rong didn't want to say anything, and she couldn't ask any more questions, so she could only treat Nanny Rong kindly according to her parents' instructions, write down all of Nanny Rong's teachings, and prepare to leave when Nanny Rong finished her errands. At that time, secretly sent a bag of broken silver.

Nanny Rong is a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, and people often give her scattered silver coins. However, when Chen Zhihua stuffed the small bag of silver into her sleeves, she was startled, her eyes gradually revealed surprise, and she said softly: "Chen Tanhua is being polite."

……

Not long after Mother Rong left, Mrs. First Zhongyong, accompanied by her sons, came to the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

——Fu Heng is a high-ranking official. After retiring from the imperial court, he went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to continue discussing state affairs with the emperor and military ministers. However, his two sons returned home immediately after the imperial court, and brought the newly enthroned Tanhua Chen Zhihua not only The appearance is the same as that of Empress Xiaoxianchun, and she was born in the 14th year of Qianlong. I told my mother.

When Guerjia Yingluo heard that there was such a coincidence in the world, she was overwhelmed with grief and joy, almost fainted, and finally woke up, but she wanted to go to the palace immediately to see Chen Zhihua.

Fu Long'an and Fu Kang'an didn't dare to neglect, they could only accompany their mother into the palace, even the young Fu Chang'an also boarded the carriage, hurried all the way to the Forbidden City, entered the palace gate and went straight to the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When she was about to meet Chen Zhihua, the most daring Mrs. Zhongyong in the capital showed cowardice inexplicably. She stopped and looked at the first-class Mrs. Chaoyong who also heard the news.

The first-class Mrs. Chaoyong’s eyes were filled with unprecedented panic. She held the hand of her best friend and asked in a low voice, “Yingluo, is Miss Chen really the reincarnation of her mother? Will she recognize us immediately when she sees us?” ?”

"Mingyu, don't think too much, if the empress is really reincarnated, she will definitely remember us, and she will definitely not deny us."

Guerjia Yingluo said comfortingly, even in her heart she was also timid and uneasy.

Mingyu was even more terrified when she heard the words: "But Yingluo, we are all old, even if the empress still remembers us... she remembers us as young faces, no gray hair, no wrinkles, no..."

"No, the empress will definitely remember us."

Guarjiayingluo repeatedly reiterated that she was treating Mingyu as well as herself.

Like Mingyu, she longs to see Chen Zhihua but is afraid of seeing Chen Zhihua. She longs for Chen Zhihua to be the reincarnation of the empress but fears that Chen Zhihua is the reincarnation of the empress... What she fears the most is that the reincarnated empress I have already drank Mengpo soup and forgot the past, but when I saw her and Mingyu, I remembered all the grievances and discomforts in the previous life, except for their happy time...

Anticipation and fear rolled in her heart, uneasy, and at the same time——

Just as he was hesitating, the curtain of the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was lifted, and a gentle voice sounded like yesterday: "You are—"

Guarjiayingluo raised her head, and the face she had seen in dreams countless times came into view, as if she was an old friend.
