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

Chapter 163 These women, too, can hold up a piece of the sky in Daqing! And then hold up their own piece of the sky.
Emperor Xuanhe despised people like Chu's father.

Although he was the emperor and had hundreds of concubines in his harem, and although he showed some favoritism towards some of them, he still treated even the less favored concubines well.

Therefore, no concubine in the harem would speak ill of him; that is the truth.

But Chu's father was a real scumbag!
He also understood the helplessness that Chu Yu's mother, Kong Xuan, had felt at the time.

Chu Yu continued speaking.

Now, she's willing to risk everything.

"...In fact, if Chu Yu had always dressed as a girl since childhood, and if women could participate in the imperial examinations, Chu Yu would still be a top scholar in the imperial examinations today."

Chu Yu had confidence in herself.

"Why is the world so harsh on women? Why can't women participate in the imperial examinations? Why must women endure their husbands' betrayal with no recourse?"

"Chu Yu is a woman, but she can still serve the country and contribute to the people."

"Chu Yu only wanted to use his identity as a man to secure a stable life for his mother. If he could become an official, he would also want to benefit the people in the area. That's all."

Chu Yu's eyes reddened as she looked up at Emperor Xuanhe, her words filled with the lament of women of this era.

Perhaps, Chu Yu also expressed the sentiments of most women in this feudal era.

Chu Yu hopes that in the future, men and women will be equal in Daqing, that women will be no less capable than men, and that women can do what men can do.

"Women can also hold up a piece of the sky in Daqing!"

Emperor Xuanhe stared at Chu Yu, stunned by her words and her gaze.

My body jolted.

"Little Chu Yu, you're absolutely right!"

Just then, a tender, soft voice suddenly rang out from outside.

Emperor Xuanhe knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice.

Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw his little princess walking in with her short legs.

The young princess actually came. Is she trying to protect Chu Yu?

Sui Sui, followed by Fu Rong and Liu Shishi, walked up to Chu Yu's side.

Because Chu Yu had seen Princess Fuqing during the palace examination, she knew that Princess Fuqing had come.

Princess Fuqing supported her?

"Chu Yu thanks Princess Fuqing!"

Chu Yu kowtowed heavily, tears welling up in his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Shishi also looked at Chu Yu.

Liu Shishi never expected that the newly appointed top scholar would be a woman, nor did she expect that as soon as she entered with Princess Fuqing, she would hear Chu Yu's deafening remarks.

No one could describe Liu Shishi's thoughts at this moment. It could be said that she was deeply shocked by Chu Yu's actions and words.

Because Chu Yu said what she dared not say and did what she had always wanted to do.

Yes, these women are capable and can hold up the sky in Daqing! They can then hold up their own sky and no longer need to depend on men.

"Your Majesty, please don't kill little Chu Yu!"

"Sui Sui thinks what she said makes a lot of sense."

"Moreover, Xiao Chuyu is very capable. None of the other male candidates can compare to her. She is the top scorer."

"Women are no less capable than men."

"Father said that even though Sui Sui is a girl, she can be very capable!"

Sui Sui looked up at her imperial nephew, this little Chu Yu, and she was determined to protect him.

Emperor Xuanhe was both amused and exasperated. “Little Princess, I admit that Chu Yu is indeed very capable. I admit that some women are no less capable than men.”

"but……"

"Now, Chu Yu has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Moreover, if women are to have equal status with men, and women are to be able to take the imperial examinations, become officials, and have the same rights as men, does the young princess know that this completely violates the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues? Court officials, scholars, and so on will all oppose it, and may even rise up against you, young princess." After all, if women also obtain the same status and power as men, then the benefits and interests enjoyed by men will be reduced.

Who would willingly lower their own interests?

Since they are unwilling, they will oppose it and even attack those who support it.

Emperor Xuanhe did not want to see his little princess get hurt.

“Sui Sui isn’t afraid,” Sui Sui said confidently.

She drew her dragon-slaying whip. "Father said, if anyone dares to bully Sui Sui, Sui Sui will fight back!"

“Anyone who disobeys will be hit back.”

“Your Majesty’s nephew, if someone has to be bullied, then let it be Sui Sui.”

"Father and Mother told Sui Sui to protect the people of Daqing."

"Women are also citizens of Daqing, and Sui Sui must protect them too!"

Emperor Xuanhe looked at his young aunt with a look of shock in his eyes.

Even though the little princess was not yet four years old at this time, and even when she looked at him, she still had to look up because she was short.

But at this moment, holding the Dragon-Slaying Whip and saying these words, she exuded an aura of unyielding strength, as if she were a one-woman army that could hold off ten thousand.

She was saying: If there really has to be a woman who challenges the so-called "authority" and "social norms" of this society, then let her do it.

She took the lead.

She said that Sui Sui was not afraid.

Emperor Xuanhe had always known that the little princess was different from the other children.

She has the heart of a child, but often she acts like a little adult, no, like a deity, protecting Daqing and the people of Daqing.

Emperor Xuanhe wondered, since his youngest aunt was so determined, could this matter really be feasible?

The Imperial Study fell into silence and deep thought.

Just then, Sui Sui suddenly remembered something and said, "Nephew, come here, Sui Sui has something to tell you in private."

Hmm? What does the little princess want to say to him?

Emperor Xuanhe still listened to his little princess, so he followed Sui Sui behind the curtain.

"Nephew, you have to support Sui Sui! That way, you'll get lots of good things."

Emperor Xuanhe: Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe's eyes lit up immediately.

Lots of good stuff?
"Little Princess, what you're talking about, could it be something similar to the divine artifact from before?"

Sui Sui nodded, "Yes."

Anyway, they gave it all away, and to the eldest nephew, it all seemed like good stuff.

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes lit up immediately.

His heart was pounding; he was so smitten.

In fact, Emperor Xuanhe was not angry at Chu Yu's seemingly illogical remarks.

In particular, he had been thinking for a long time whether saving Daqing meant supporting the status of women.
Like Consort Chen, Liu Shishi, Chen Hehua, Su Xiuxiu, and now Chu Yu...

There are so many capable women, and their abilities are in no way inferior to those of men.

Today, Daqing may need to take a completely new path.

This path may require the participation of women as well.

Previously, Emperor Xuanhe had sided with his own little princess, after all, this was the first time his little princess had been so determined to protect someone. And now, his little princess said that if Chu Yu was protected, a divine object would be obtained.

It's a divine object; it came from heaven.

Does that mean that Heaven also wants to protect Chu Yu?
Since that's the case, he might as well accept his fate.
