Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

A group of well-dressed people stood in front of Gu Qi's house.

County Magistrate Lin Lingyuan was also by his side.

The person in the lead was a female official, dressed in a scarlet official robe, with a calm and composed demeanor, holding an imperial edict in her hand.

A hundred guards stood behind him.

The first thing Gu Qi noticed was the official robes worn by the female official; they were truly beautiful.

With her arrival, it was time to announce the imperial edict.

The female official opened the imperial edict: "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..." She used a string of flowery words to praise Gu Qi, and then concluded.

She was specially granted the title of Princess Xinghe and the fief of Xing County.

Gu Qi accepted the imperial edict and her goldfish charm. The female official put it on her waist and addressed her as Princess.

The female official clapped her hands, and more than fifty people emerged from behind the guards, including nannies, maids, and guards.

There is another teacher.

"This is from Her Majesty the Queen." She then handed over a small, red box, about the size of a palm, containing a contract of indenture.

Gu Qi accepted the gift and expressed her gratitude to the female official for her aunt, the Empress, and thanked the official for her hard work on the journey.

Fortunately, her mother, Li Ling, came to her senses and looked away from the large boxes.

He received the female official in place of Gu Qi.

Li Ling accompanied the female official into the room for tea, while Gu Sanhe served tea to the guards outside.

Seeing this, Lin Lingyuan whispered a few words to Gu Sanhe, who nodded gratefully.

Before long, the clerk arrived in a hurry with his men carrying lunch.

Li Ling also asked Chunniang, who lived across the street, to help her buy a meal from the restaurant to entertain the female official.

I heard that the person hasn't eaten yet.

After the meal, as the sun set, the female official did not stay overnight but went to the post station in the county town.

Before leaving, he simply told Gu Qi to study hard.

Gu Qi touched the goldfish charm at her waist, nodded solemnly, and asked the female official to convey a message to Her Majesty the Empress that she would definitely study hard.

After the hundred-plus people dispersed, Gu Qi had her father take the remaining people to their house in the county town.

Yes, she has a house in the county town.

"Teacher, you go to the new house with my dad first. My mom and I will tidy up and go tomorrow." Gu Qi acted like a considerate child.

Her teacher had the composure and steadiness characteristic of a scholar.

He exudes an air of refined elegance stemming from his profound knowledge and literary cultivation.

However, when he spoke, he was very direct, completely lacking the tact and subtlety of a scholar.

"Can you clean this up?" The teacher looked Gu Qi up and down by the height. "Let your mother clean it up. Don't make a mess. Come with me."

"You're the head of the household, you'd better meet them."

Gu Qi and her mother exchanged a glance and nodded.

The newly appointed Princess Xinghe, accompanied by her teacher, traveled to Xing County in a rented oxcart.

The guards, maids, and servants all boarded mule carts and donkey carts. They searched all the surrounding villages before they could gather enough vehicles.

Sitting in the oxcart, Gu Qi looked down at it and then thought about how the county magistrate had come in a horse-drawn carriage. She felt that she should buy one too.

"Teacher, I want to buy a horse-drawn carriage."

Her teacher's surname is Wen, and her given name is simply He.

Teacher Wenhe glanced down, then looked at the empty air around him and nodded: "We need to buy one."

She used to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

I can't let my quality of life decline just because I'm teaching students.

Gu Qi was happy to buy a carriage, and looked at her teacher, asking her about her teacher with concern.

Until Wenhe's face showed impatience.

Gu Qi had just stopped and was quiet for less than two minutes when Wen He felt a head pressing down on his arm.

Her new student fell asleep.

Wenhe found her package, took out a cloak, and draped it over Gu Qi's stomach.

He let her fall asleep leaning against him.

Gu Dajiang pretended to be asleep; the commotion of the afternoon seemed to have no effect on him.

"Big Brother, has your third uncle arrived?"

Gu Qing in the courtyard: "No."

Why hadn't anyone invited him and his son over? He and Gu Dajiang had been waiting, waiting to be invited.

Even as the sun set and it was time for dinner, and the lively sounds were fading away, no one came.

Gu Dajiang couldn't stay in bed any longer. He stepped out the door and coughed, "Dalang, hasn't your third uncle arrived yet?"

"no."

Gu Dajiang sensed something was wrong: "I'll go check it out."

As soon as he stepped outside, he found that everyone had dispersed, and his third brother was nowhere to be seen. There was no place for him to stand in Gu Qi's house.

"She cares about me." Gu Lan said to her grandmother on the kang (a heated brick bed), holding the small box that Aunt Li Ling had specially given her.

"I told you that Aqi cared about me the most, but you didn't believe me."

Gu Lan opened the box, reached inside and took out a slip of paper with an address in the county town written on it.

"Look, Grandma, this is the address for me. I need to go find her."

The old woman retorted, "I didn't say that; it was your aunts who said it."

She's smart, while her daughters-in-law are all idiots.

A few days after Li Ling left, some people became envious, saying that she used to be so close to Gu Lan, but now Gu Lan is a phoenix.

Naturally, he wouldn't pay any attention to Gu Lan.

Gu Lan hummed a couple of times, trying to save face for her grandmother.

Looking down, she flipped through the pages again and found a letter, written on her behalf, telling Gu Lan to study hard.

If she still has any questions, she can come to Gu Qi, who has a new teacher who is very knowledgeable.

Gu Lan agreed. She planned to go to Gu Qi's place to boost the prestige of her family's business. She didn't bully others; she just hoped not to be bullied herself.

"Grandma, look, she's telling me to study hard. That's what a benefactor told her."

Upon hearing the nobleman's words, the old lady readily complied: "You read. If anyone stops you from reading, I'll talk to them."

If one's studies catch the eye of a noble person, that person might want to recognize them as relatives.

Her family is about to take off.

Gu Laogen readily agreed, supporting his granddaughter's decision to study according to the advice of the influential person.

Five years later.

The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, but during the imperial examinations, an extra nanny was added to the body search team.

Women were also among those queuing.

Three years ago, the emperor passed away, and Empress Dowager Luo Sheng became regent.

Two years ago, the Empress Dowager declared herself Empress and changed the country's name to Zhou.

A year ago, the news that women could take the imperial examinations spread throughout the land.

Gu Qi was also in line. Now she was nine years old and had grown quite a bit taller, comparable to an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

She wore a light blue, narrow-sleeved robe with bamboo embroidered on the cuffs and the front of the robe.

With her bright and clear eyes, she stands out even in a queue.

Many people secretly glanced at her.

Gu Qi looked at Gu Lan, who was still in a daze.

She actually took an exam in ancient times, and it was the imperial examination.

Is this still ancient times?

"Sister Lan, snap out of it, you'll be answering the questions soon." Don't get confused during the exam.

Gu Qi was slightly worried.

Gu Lan: "..."

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'll definitely answer the questions well."

Gu Lan didn't think she could pass the imperial examination to become a Jinshi, but she could definitely become a Xiucai.

Fame and fortune are things that people pursue for thousands of years, so it's always a good thing.

Those that are inferior will simply be abandoned.

Gu Qi breathed a sigh of relief; it was her turn to be searched.

She took one last look at her mother, father, and teacher standing to the side, waving to her.

Gu Qi walked in with a smile.

The journey to fame and fortune begins.
