A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 162 System Tasks
It was an old woman, and a young man was beside her.

The old woman rushed directly towards Chu Yu, and those words were shouted by the young man beside her.

The old woman rushed out so fast that Chu Yu almost couldn't react in time.

After realizing what was happening, he quickly pulled on the reins.

At this moment, the horse was only a little over a meter away from the old woman.

Although the old woman dared to rush out like that, she was indeed frightened by the horses that were about to reach her.

So the old woman collapsed to the ground.

"The top scholar Chu Yu is a woman! She is a woman disguised as a man. Chu Yu has deceived the emperor! She has deceived the emperor!" The young man beside her continued to shout loudly.

The moment the old woman rushed out, the noisy atmosphere around them instantly fell silent.

So, the surrounding people also heard what the man said.

"What? Scholar Chu is a woman? That's highly unlikely!"

"Isn't the imperial examination only open to men? If the top scholar Chu is really a woman, then she has indeed deceived the emperor."

"No wonder Scholar Chu's eyebrows and eyes are so gentle and beautiful. It turns out she is a woman. That makes no difference."

……

At this moment, Chu Yu, sitting on his horse, looked at the old woman who had collapsed on the ground and the young man who was shouting to reveal his true identity, and felt that the world had become quiet.

It was so quiet that she could hear her own heart pounding wildly.

She closed her eyes briefly. It seemed that what she wanted to hide could no longer be concealed after all.

I wonder who sent these two people.

Is she the First Madam?
probably.

Besides her, Chu Yu couldn't think of anyone else.

What will her future hold?

The joy of becoming the top scorer vanished at that moment, leaving her feeling lost and unsure of what the future held for her.

Meanwhile, Kong De, who was in the crowd, was also happy to see his cousin become the top scholar.

The appearance of these two people was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him from head to toe, and his face immediately turned pale.

How to do how to do……
-
"What did you say? The newly appointed top scholar, Chu Yu, is a woman?! She's a woman disguised as a man?" Emperor Xuanhe's tone was filled with astonishment.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Scholar Chu and those two are currently at the palace gate," Liu De replied, bowing. "The two claim they want to accuse Scholar Chu of deceiving the emperor! They hope Your Majesty will punish him severely!"

Emperor Xuanhe was deep in thought.

To be honest, Emperor Xuanhe was surprised when he learned that Chu Yu was a woman.

However, aside from being surprised, he wasn't angry.

Even the accusation of "deceiving the emperor" was deemed acceptable by Emperor Xuanhe.

His first reaction was: This man from Daqing is really not good enough. He actually let a woman like Chu Yu get the top six in the imperial examination!
Could it be that the future of Daqing lies in the decline of male dominance and the rise of female dominance?
After thinking for a while, Emperor Xuanhe said, "Bring them all here."

"Yes!"
-
In Yaoguang Palace, Sui Sui, who was eating cakes, suddenly heard the system's voice in her head.

[Ding! Detection has been detected that the newly appointed top scholar, Chu Yu, has been exposed as a woman disguised as a man and is about to face the danger of being accused of deceiving the emperor!]

[Mission Issued: Chu Yu is a prodigy. If he becomes an official, he will undoubtedly benefit the Great Qing Dynasty and achieve lasting fame. Please save Chu Yu and break the gender inequality in the Great Qing Dynasty, allowing women to participate in the imperial examinations.] [Mission Rating: Hell Level. The host will not only face opposition from the entire population of Great Qing, the court officials, and the emperor, but will also need to overturn the patriarchal ideology and status that has existed in Great Qing for over a century. This will easily lead to attacks from multiple sides, potentially resulting in disgrace and even death!]

[Task Rewards: 1. A public morale stabilization buff, reducing the risk of public resentment and rebellion within Daqing by 30%, making the emperor's policies easier to implement. 2. Refining methods for fine salt and white sugar. 3. 100 large libraries suitable for Daqing, including all their collections.]

Sui Sui, who was eating cake, paused every time she bit into the cake.

She was given all the tasks.

Ok?
She was asked to rescue Xiao Chuyu?
She remembered the beautiful person she had seen during the palace examination today. Sure enough, Sui Sui was right; it was a little girl.

Such a pretty little girl can't die!

They also said that Xiao Chuyu is a prodigy and very useful to Daqing.

Should Xiao Chuyu be punished simply because she disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination?

But even a little girl like Chu Yu is so amazing, those boys are so pathetic.

Girls could also participate in the imperial examinations.

Girls can become officials too.

Anyone can do it, no matter who's good!

Moreover, as long as Xiao Chuyu is saved and the girl can participate in the imperial examination, all of them will receive such great rewards.

Sui Sui said, "Save her! Little Chu Yu must be saved!"
"Furong, quick, let's go to the Imperial Study to find the Emperor's nephew!" Sui Sui immediately began to summon Furong.
-
Just as Sui Sui was rushing to the Imperial Study, Chu Yu, Kong De, the old woman, and the young man had already been brought to the Imperial Study.

Emperor Xuanhe also briefly learned about what had happened.

The old woman was the midwife who delivered Chu Yu's mother's baby, and the young man was her son.

It was Chu Yu's mother, Kong Xuan, who instructed her to lie and report Chu Yu as a boy.

Over the years, Chu Yu has been disguised as a man, and not only has she never been exposed, but she has also successfully participated in the imperial examinations and made it to where she is now.

As for why Chu Yu's identity was not discovered during the imperial examination, it was because his policies at the time had loopholes that could be exploited.

"...Now, although Chu Yu has passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, this is truly deceiving the emperor. The old woman feels that this is really inappropriate, so, so she has no choice but to expose it."

The old woman had a helpless expression on her face, like an old white lotus, all for the sake of preventing Emperor Xuanhe from being deceived by Chu Yu.

She was completely pure and innocent.

Emperor Xuanhe reigned for several decades. Although he was not very capable in some aspects as emperor, he was quite good at judging people.

Therefore, he didn't really believe what the old woman said.

However, it is true that Chu Yu is a young lady.

"Chu Yu, tell me, why did you disguise yourself as a man and participate in the imperial examination?" Emperor Xuanhe asked, his eyes filled with scrutiny and authority.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to speak." Chu Yu knew that at this point, she had no choice but to tell the truth, so she recounted how Kong Xuan had disguised her as a boy.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe understood the reason.

It turns out that this helpless situation arose because the unfaithful person wanted to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

Emperor Xuanhe thought that the appearance of this old woman and her son was probably related to the woman that Chu's father later married.
