Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Chapter 161 Imperial Examination Essay, First Female Candidate

The storyteller on the first floor, his spirits high, exclaimed, "It is said that when Emperor Wen and Prime Minister Fang first met, Emperor Wen presented him with oil-coated sugar cakes..."

This was the first time Luo Sheng had encountered something like this. This child was so unreserved. However, they were destined to meet.

Here, have some.

She pushed the pastries on the table toward Gu Qi, not wanting her to have shouted for nothing.

Gu Qi smiled and thanked her, then noticed the two dough figurines in the woman's hands. She gave her own dough figurines to the kind aunt in front of her.

"This is for you, Auntie."

Luo Sheng was stunned again, never expecting that she would receive a gift made of dough figurines after she grew up.

She raised an eyebrow and asked Gu Qi, "Why didn't you give me the tiger?"

Of course, it's because she likes tigers.

But the clever Gu Qi wouldn't answer like that; she was holding a piece of pea flour cake in her hand, which she hadn't eaten yet.

"I want to share my favorite things with my aunt."

Gu Qi reached out again and moved the tiger clay figurine in her hand forward: "If Auntie particularly likes tigers, I can exchange it."

She acted as if she were very generous.

Luo Sheng would never stoop so low as to fight a child for a tiger, even though she could tell the child was just trying to coax her.

"Oh, it's your favorite thing, then I won't change it."

Gu Qi's eyes revealed an unconscious joy.

She put the pastry in her mouth, took a bite, and tasted the familiar flavor. Her sister Gu Lan's business had even expanded to the county town.

awesome.

Luo Sheng suddenly asked, "Do you know the person who makes the pastries?"

"Yes, I know him."

It was truly effortless. Luo Sheng was looking for someone with whom she had a connection, and she asked around for rare and unusual things in Xing County. She had never seen this pastry before.

I've never heard of it.

The person sent to inquire hadn't returned yet, but unexpectedly, she ran into him herself.

Luo Sheng coughed and asked, "What's your name?"

"Gu Qi." Following the usual back-and-forth exchange, Gu Qi asked another question: "Auntie, what about you?"

Luo Sheng reached out and pinched Gu Qi's cheek, her eyes carrying a hint of condescending arrogance: "No one has dared to ask my name yet, little one."

However, after a pause, he added, "My surname is Luo."

Just then, the storyteller mentioned that the emperor's name should be avoided.

The pastry in Gu Qi's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and her eyes darted up and down at Luo Sheng like light.

Luo Sheng stopped Mei Hua's scolding and let the little guy watch.

Even though Gu Qi was talking to her aunt in front of her, she couldn't stop listening to the storyteller.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Fang Xiangong's story was a perfect match for her. Could this be a hint?

She jumped up happily, and all of Plum Blossom's and Luo Sheng's guards looked at Gu Qi, afraid that she would do something reckless.

They wanted nothing more than to shake Gu Qi's shoulders and tell her, "Don't be so presumptuous, child. The person in front of you is Her Majesty the Empress."

She was still the Empress, who helped the Emperor handle state affairs and held real power.

Since Ke Luosheng hadn't given any orders, no one could act rashly.

Instead of picking up the pastries that had fallen to the ground with her other empty hand, Gu Qi excitedly slapped the table.

With a snap, Plum Blossom and the guards' hearts skipped a beat again.

Luo Sheng remained calm, lying on the recliner and watching the child approach to her left, gently waving one hand.

The plum blossom can only be held still.

However, the child's next words really frightened her.

"Auntie, are you His Majesty?"

Gu Qi knew that girls couldn't take the imperial examinations, but she didn't know that the emperor was a man.

No one told her the emperor's name, surname, or gender.

Children act on impulse. If the person in front of them were the emperor, then she, Gu Qi, would be the prime minister destined for her.

She knew the prime minister; the storyteller had just told her about a powerful figure, second only to the emperor.

Luo Sheng felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body tingling with a numbing sensation.

emperor?

Even after being reborn, she never thought of becoming an emperor; she only wanted to replace the bastard adopted son from her previous life.

She swallowed hard, her voice hoarse: "Why do you say that?"

Gu Qi pointed to the storyteller below: "Because the emperor's name cannot be spoken." Her expectant eyes hoped that Luo Sheng would admit it.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I want to be the prime minister."

Luo Sheng suddenly asked a question, and Gu Qi answered seriously.

Mei Hua stared blankly at the child in front of her; she really dared to think and speak her mind.

Because of her own experiences, Luo Sheng subconsciously suspected that Gu Qi was reborn, otherwise a five or six-year-old child would want to become a prime minister.

Who would believe that!

She took Gu Qi's hand and tentatively asked about Gu Qi's life. After probing for a quarter of an hour, she found that the child was still a child, only exceptionally bold.

"You really dare to dream." After confirming that she was not a reborn person, Luo Sheng hugged Gu Qi in her arms.

His gaze swept over Gu Qi, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

This child is strange.

Luo Sheng told her that emperors were all men, wanting to know what other earth-shattering things she could say next.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qi only let out a disappointed "ah," and Luo Sheng thought that her disappointment was because she was not the emperor.

She couldn't become prime minister, but she left a story with the emperor in a teahouse.

She rubbed the little boy's round head in front of her. It was actually quite nice to touch. Ever since her master picked up the child, Plum Blossom's mind had been completely scattered.

After all, her master had never been this gentle with his adopted son, the Crown Prince.

After her initial disappointment, Gu Qi realized that she still needed to grow up; only by growing up could she do what she wanted.

She pointed to the pastries and said to the woman next to her, "I want some."

plum bossom:"......"

She held the bowl, Gu Qi ate, and Luo Sheng was distracted.

The three of them each had their own things to do.

Gu Qi finished her plate, and Luo Sheng came back to her senses. She seemed to be muttering to herself, "Since ancient times, no woman has ever been an emperor."

"Then you'll get it if you're the first one."

Gu Qi is a good child who never lets anyone fall behind in conversation; that's how her mother taught her.

She completely ignored Luo Sheng's fluctuating emotions beside her.

Luo Sheng hugged the child in her arms tightly. Yes, the child was right. If the Luo family became royalty, then no one would be able to settle scores with her afterward.

Her reputation and the future of the Luo family can be preserved, instead of relying on the conscience of others.

Was she unkind to her adopted son in her previous life?

Giving him the throne, and even choosing an empress from the Luo family for him, was all she wanted was to hold onto the power in her hands.

He was sure he would get it after she died, but the emperor couldn't wait and conspired with Cui Jue to kill her.

In this life, she raised her adopted son to be a playboy who only knew how to secretly memorize answers.

But what if her adopted son still wants to compete with her for power and profit? Then she would have lived her whole life in vain.

As for asking her to relinquish her power, that's impossible.

Luo Sheng's confused mind suddenly cleared, and she saw the path she needed to take ahead.

He ascended the throne and became emperor, thus changing the dynasty.

Luo Sheng pinched Gu Qi's cheek. It turned out that Gu Qi was destined for someone. After all, it was just a place to have tea.

You can encounter them all.

"What do you want?" Luo Sheng rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head slightly, and looked at you with an air of domineering confidence that she would grant your every wish.

Gu Qi: "..."

Without hesitation, she answered, "I want to be able to join the army and take the imperial examinations."
