I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1279 Born Humble and Born with a Silver Spoon: If They Read the Same Book
The streets were filled with women and young girls carrying colorful fans and sachets.

Every year, just before the Dragon Boat Festival, you can see this scene: colorful headdresses and various flower hairpins that can now be seen everywhere in the capital.

Looking at the girls on the street, they all seem to want to have their heads covered in hair.

Girls from ordinary families can simply pick a pomegranate flower from the yard and tuck it behind their ear; they look beautiful, and it even looks more natural.

Tomorrow, the children will tie colorful threads and gourds to their arms, calling them "longevity threads."

It's just that it's thrown away after the Dragon Boat Festival, which is called "throwing away disaster" or "throwing away misfortune" in old sayings.

Su Chang'an's face was covered with a mask, but it wasn't that he deliberately made himself look ugly or anything; it was just an ordinary mask.

Su Chang'an originally thought that the cat would bring a picture of a man.

It turned out to be a woman.

This made Su Chang'an stare at the cat for a while, but the cat didn't even look at her and changed her own appearance.

Left with no other choice, they had to compromise.

It's not like I'm a new woman.

Walking down the street, Su Chang'an was not exactly an outstanding woman at the moment.

Xun Kuang walked ahead, quite a distance from Su Chang'an and the others.

This was also to prevent people from recognizing the Empress.

After all, being near a woman would definitely draw her attention, so keeping a distance was the best course of action.

Xun Kuang understood why the Empress wanted to leave the palace in this way.

Firstly, it's clear that the Empress intends to resolve the matter herself. Secondly, while the incident appears to have been caused by two individuals, the mastermind behind it is not so simple.

Xun Kuang knew that the Empress had seen through him.

But he didn't say much. The power struggles between the big shots were none of his business. All he was thinking about now was protecting Xiao Ansheng.

Only those who come from impoverished backgrounds can truly understand the hardships others face.

However, as Xun Kuang was thinking this, he looked at the Imperial Academy in the distance, and especially at the students, he smiled helplessly.

but
Xun Kuang also noticed something unusual about some of the students, who seemed to be hurrying towards the Imperial Academy.

The closer they got to the Imperial Academy, the more people recognized Xun Kuang. Many people treated him with respect, and judging from the fabric of his clothes, most were from ordinary families, but some wore luxurious materials.

However, most of the people dressed in luxurious fabrics merely gave perfunctory greetings and then hurriedly left.

Su Chang'an witnessed this scene and knew that the matter was probably much more serious than Xun Kuang had described.

after all
Besides having good eyesight, Su Chang'an also had excellent hearing, and could hear clearly.

Several people looked at Xun Kuang and whispered, 'Why is Xun Siyue protecting Xiao Ansheng? The evidence is irrefutable!'

'Who knows? It's just about protecting others, I guess.'

"Everyone used to say we bullied poor students, and we were really ruthless about it. But now, we're being treated like this by a poor student, and they're actually protecting us. Hmph, Xun Badou, he's nothing special!"

'I heard he even kept it from the Grand Chancellor, determined to protect that lecherous scoundrel! Poor Yang Yuan.'

"From what I've heard, several censors know about this and have begun impeaching Xun, the Vice Director of the Imperial Academy. They're even saying that Xun's position as Vice Director of the Imperial Academy might be in jeopardy."

'It seems Xun Siye is so intelligent, how could he have made such a foolish mistake this time? How many people have been angered by his behavior?'

Su Chang'an glanced at the students. Judging from their words, it was clear that someone was deliberately spreading rumors about them.

But he also noticed how hurried the students were. Although he was curious, he didn't think much of it.

Su Chang'an went out today with his cat and Ping Ruoshui by his side.

After all, while Su Chang'an was indeed formidable, Lian Wei was still practicing swordsmanship to break through to the ninth rank, and Ru Yu and She Yue had been sent out again, making Yu Kuangjuan too obvious.

Therefore, in the end, Ping Ruoshui insisted on staying by his side as his bodyguard.

The cat wasn't interested in these things, nor was it paying attention to them. It was just looking around, but it seemed quite interested in the hairpins being sold on the street.

Ping Ruoshui, being at the pinnacle of cultivation, naturally heard clearly and turned to look at Su Chang'an: "Should we have someone investigate?"

Su Chang'an looked at Ping Ruoshui: "Sister, what do you think?"

Although Ping Ruoshui was somewhat apprehensive about the Empress calling her "elder sister," she eventually got used to it after a while and came to understand the Empress's temperament.

He got straight to the point: "The matter of those two children is a minor issue. It's someone else, isn't it? It seems they want Xun Kuang's position as the Director of Studies."

Su Chang'an smiled and said, "I meant hairpins. The palace servants rarely leave the palace, and Lu Cai also said that many flowers in the flower room are thrown away after they fall. I was thinking that it would be better to have the palace servants dry them and use them to make hairpins like these."

Upon hearing this, the cat turned around and looked at Su Chang'an, immediately nodding.

Ping Ruoshui, on the other hand, looked embarrassed.

Before Ping Ruoshui could speak, Su Chang'an said, "Many people criticize Xun Kuang, but they can only criticize him for protecting Xiao Ansheng. This is because no one else can find fault with our Director of Studies. That's the only way to criticize him."

Ping Ruoshui thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Moreover, from this perspective, Xun Siye is impeccable.

An identification badge was required to enter and exit the Imperial College.

Although Su Chang'an and his two companions did not have any special credentials, entering the Imperial Academy was still relatively easy for them.

He had only just entered the Imperial College
Su Chang'an then saw a student run up to Xun Kuang and say something.

However, just as Su Chang'an was wondering what was going to be said...
"Brother Fan, so this is where you are! Come on, the debate is about to begin, it's going to be quite a spectacle."

Right next to Su Chang'an, a student rushed over and immediately pulled the student who was carrying a book and reading as they walked.

The student who was called Brother Fan looked at his classmate in confusion: "What's all the commotion? I still need to review my lessons."

The student immediately spoke up: "Li Yueyue led a group of people to hold a debate with those who support Yang Leyuan."

Brother Fan frowned: "Is it this again? Brother Zhang, I won't go. I still need to study. The imperial examination is getting closer and closer. I'm really sorry."

Upon hearing this, Brother Zhang felt somewhat disappointed, but he didn't say anything more and turned to leave in a hurry.

Moreover, besides this group, many people around Su Chang'an and his companions were also rushing towards the depths of the Imperial Academy.

Of course, many people didn't join in the fun, but instead focused on reading.

Obviously
Inside the Imperial Academy, there were also some people who didn't care about this matter at all, focusing solely on preparing for the exam.

Looking at Xun Kuang's departing figure and then at the other students, Su Chang'an understood what they had been rushing about.

but
He didn't seem to care about the debate.

What he was thinking was
That girl, Yueyue, she's definitely involved in these kinds of things!

but.
Has that girl's house arrest ended?
……

"Li Yueyue! You were with them today, have you forgotten who you are! These people are all supporting Xiao Ansheng!"

Right there in the largest lecture hall of the Imperial College, a group of students gathered inside, divided into two factions.

Many students surrounded the lecture hall, clearly there to watch the spectacle.

But you could tell just by looking at their clothes. It was obvious that the well-dressed students supported Yang Liaoyuan, and one of the female students was pointing angrily at Li Yueyue directly opposite her.

Li Yueyue tilted her head slightly: "What, are you angry? You have such big, puffy eyes. When you're angry, your puffy eyes will get even bigger. Be careful you don't explode from anger."

After saying that, he glanced at the female student and then looked at the group of people in front of him: "I've only been confined for half a month, and you've made such a big fuss. And where is Yang Liaoyuan? Come out here."

Everyone looked at Li Yueyue.

After being confined for half a month, this old lady's mouth has reached a whole new level.

Why was Li Yueyue placed under house arrest?

Just over half a month ago, she and Yan Ruyu beat up old Master Liu Kan on that red-light district.

As a result, his mother placed him under house arrest for half a month.

I just returned to the Imperial College yesterday.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Yueyue learned about Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan's affair and immediately publicly sided with Xiao Ansheng.

This gave those poor kids who couldn't stand the children of wealthy families a sense of purpose, and they gathered together within a day.

Even some scions of noble families came to Li Yueyue's side to support Xiao Ansheng.

After all, Li Yueyue was a prominent figure in the Imperial Academy, the kind of person who could command a large following. There was nothing this young lady wouldn't dare to do.

This person is very upright and loyal, which makes him very trustworthy.

But in fact, a small number of people knew that this was not a debate at all, but just an argument. It was only when there were more people that Li Yueyue immediately said that she wanted to have a debate.

The other party readily agreed.

That's how it evolved into this state.

However, the female student who was called "Big Eyes" was so angry that she clenched her fists. Fortunately, someone stopped her, otherwise she would have rushed up in front of the foreign envoy and the teachers and torn Li Yueyue's mouth apart!
Li Yueyue snorted, put one hand on her hip and looked at the big-eyed guy, her smug "Come on!" attitude was too conspicuous.

However, when Li Yueyue saw the teachers and scholars bringing in foreign scholars, she immediately stood obediently back to her normal position.

Then, with her big eyes blinking, she looked over there, her face full of curiosity.

Why did you gentlemen bring scholars from foreign lands with you?

Upon seeing the teachers and scholars, and even more so the foreign scholars, everyone was stunned, none of them having expected this scene.

Looking at Li Yueyue, Ji Shuying, Zhao Shi, and Liu Kan, who were in charge of entertaining the foreign scholars today, smiled. Then Zhao Shi said loudly, "You can continue your debate. These foreign scholars heard about your debate and came to see."

Hearing this, Li Yueyue was clearly tempted to back out, but then she thought, "It's already like this, why would I back out?"

Moreover, Xiao Ansheng was such an honest person, and he was wronged so badly, so he had to stand up for him!

I immediately straightened my head and puffed out my chest. The gentlemen are all here, so who's afraid of whom!
The female student who was called "Big Eyes" looked at the others and then stood up straight with her head held high.

The scholars from foreign lands mostly came from countries like Persia and India.

There is good relations with the Great Xia, and there is no war yet.

Moreover, learning and exchanging ideas are two separate things from national warfare.

That is the aim of these scholars.

Liu Kan spoke up from the side, "Mr. Yazd, today's debate is a dispute started by children, not an academic one. You might find yourself laughing at us later."

The Persian scholar, Yazd, bowed respectfully to Zhao Shi and said, "Mr. Zhao, I know they are here today to discuss a boy and a girl. I am curious to see what kind of debate this will be, because I believe this matter is related to law, humanity, and other issues."

Zhao Shi was helpless.

These words clearly indicate that it refers to the affair between Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan within the Imperial Academy, a fact known even to these scholars.

But that's why I came here.

It was pure bad luck that I ran into it.

Today, they had originally planned to take these scholars directly to the colleges of arts and sciences.

Unexpectedly, Li Yueyue actually started a debate, which attracted many students to join in the fun, and these foreign envoys happened to overhear it.

So they asked to see the debates of the students from Daxia, because children in their respective countries often did such things.

Although Zhao Shi and the others wanted to refuse, they couldn't bring themselves to say so, so they could only agree.

but
Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Shi also wanted to resolve this matter today.

With the imperial examinations just around the corner, this incident has distracted many people from their studies.

But Mu Xu instructed them, the teachers, not to interfere and to leave it to Xun Kuang.

That's why it's been delayed until now.

Now, not only has the matter escalated to this point, but it has also been done in front of foreign scholars.

As he thought this, Zhao Shi once again missed his old friend Yao Yuanzai. If he were here, he would have dealt with this matter long ago, and things would not have turned out like this.

But now we can only pin our hopes on these children.

but.
Looking at Li Yueyue.

Zhao Shi sighed.

He knew Yueyue quite well.

However, at this moment, Zhao Shi and the others noticed the commotion among the crowd outside.

Then Xun Kuang was seen jogging through the automatically dispersing crowd to the lecture hall.

Looking at the foreign scholars in the lecture hall, then at Li Yueyue, and those noble scions who were very hostile to him, Xun Kuang's mentality began to crumble.

He went against His Majesty's wishes and was inexplicably tricked by the Empress. After inviting the Empress out of the palace, he kept thinking about what to do the whole way. His Majesty was going to make things difficult for him, and that feeling was too unpleasant.

The result is now
Not only did Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan's affair escalate into a debate, but now even foreigners are involved?

Fine, go ahead and do it.

But it looks like you two are about to have a debate?

And you're allowed to discuss Xiao Ansheng and Yang Leyuan like this?

How can this work?
After bowing to the scholars in the lecture hall, Xun Kuang bowed to Zhao Shi and others, and then looked at everyone in the lecture hall and said: "Since you are going to debate, you naturally need a topic. I have been thinking about something recently, so you can discuss it and consider it as my homework. The topic is: 'If a person born into poverty and a person born with a silver spoon were to read the same book, what would happen?'"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and turned to look at Xun Kuang.

Zhao Shi and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Xun Kuang.

If it's a serious debate, then there's no problem in front of these foreign scholars.

But the thought that we hadn't even considered this moment filled us with shame.

Meanwhile, the foreign scholars lowered their heads and began discussing the topic of the debate.

but.
Li Yueyue blinked at Xun Kuang, then turned to the people beside her and whispered, "Who among you can do it? I can't!"
