Chapter 328 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 55

What is all this about?

Sheng Hong was tired. As officials in the capital, they had to adapt for a period of time every time an official came into office. Although they no longer had to adapt to the management methods of the Empress Dowager, they needed to adapt to the change of her identity!

The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress are still different, especially since the Grand Empress Dowager ascended the throne as a woman. It is unknown whether she will issue any special decree. Sheng Hong feels it necessary to gather all the members of the Sheng family together and inform them of this matter.

Soon, the Sheng family members who received Sheng Hong's notice gathered at the residence of Old Lady Sheng. Everyone was confused about what big thing Sheng Hong was going to talk about. Everyone guessed that it was related to the Sheng family, and no one suspected that it was related to the court. After all, according to Sheng Hong's past habits, his daughters didn't need to hear about such things.

With a head full of random guesses, Sheng Hong saw that everyone was present and spoke directly without keeping anyone in suspense.

"At court today, the Duke of England petitioned the Grand Empress Dowager to ascend the throne. This matter has been decided. Three days from now will be the day when the Grand Empress Dowager ascends the throne. We...will have a female emperor!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Even though he was uneducated, he was still the son of an official. After hearing what Sheng Hong said, everyone present was stunned as if Sheng Hong had said something crazy.

Oh my God, is the master crazy or am I crazy? Why did I hear the master say that the Empress Dowager will become the Empress? No matter what, Madam Wang has more opportunities to get in touch with the court news than the younger generation of the Sheng family. She really didn't hear any rumors at all.

"Don't say you haven't heard about it. Even those of us who attended the court only found out about it today."

Madam Wang couldn't help but speak out her thoughts. Sheng Hong rolled his eyes at her and explained weakly, "That's not all. Do you know what's the scariest thing?"

Everyone shook their heads. Sheng Hong continued: "The most terrifying thing is that all the officials present, regardless of their rank and position, all agreed. No one stood up to object, even the most conservative censors in the past..."

"Ahem, stop talking! Are these words allowed to be said by our Sheng family?"

Seeing that Sheng Hong was getting bolder and bolder, Old Lady Sheng quickly interrupted him. After being interrupted, Sheng Hong realized that he had said something wrong and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Well, that's what I want to say. Besides, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and I believe that the imperial examination will be held this year or next March at the latest. Changbai, Changfeng, you can all try your hand at it then."

"Yes, father."

Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"As for Molan, Rulan, and Minglan, don't discuss marriage for the time being." Old Madam Sheng's eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of something. She reminded him. Sheng Hong was a little confused and asked, "Mother, what's this?"

"I think that when the Empress Dowager ascends the throne, she might start using the female official system, just like Emperor Wu did before."

"Molan, Rulan, and Minglan have also studied a lot with their brother over the years. If this is true, it will be worth their years of hard work."

"Even if it's not, it will only delay it for a year. The three Lans are not too old, so we won't be afraid of delays."

Sheng Molan was a little dissatisfied at first, after all, she was the oldest among the three Lans. Now, after listening to what Old Madam Sheng said, she couldn't help but have ambitions in her heart. She has loved reading since she was a child, and has always felt that if she were not a woman, she might be able to be better than her brother Sheng Changfeng.

If there is really a chance to be a female official, Sheng Molan would naturally want to grab it. Except for Madam Wang and Sheng Rulan, no one present did not want to. After all, from Madam Sheng to Sheng Molan, Sheng Minglan, and even Lin Qinshuang, no one in the Sheng family is the kind of person who is willing to accept their fate.

They had no choice before and could only compete with each other for the attention of men, sons, and fathers. Now that they have a choice, things are naturally different.

Such conversations took place in the homes of many officials in Bianliang who valued their daughters and were sensitive. Qin Wanrong's ascension to the throne not only meant that they had a female emperor, but also represented that women had torn open a huge gap in the blockade of rights in a patriarchal society. If there is one, there will be two. What's more, there is Emperor Wu as a comparison. Those who understand history will understand.

If it weren't for the Loyalty Pill, it would have been impossible for Qin Wanrong to be pushed to the throne like this. It would have taken a long time just to convince those pedantic people who were bent on suppressing women and maintaining male dominance, and she might even have to chop off a lot of heads.

With the loyalty pill, Qin Wanrong easily won over the hard-core ones, leaving only the insignificant or opportunistic ones and the lineage of the Duke of England, so there was the scene today where all the ministers in the court agreed.

What Qin Wanrong did not expect was that it was precisely because the whole court seconded the motion that some spineless people who were still dissatisfied in their hearts completely surrendered. After all, the Empress Dowager had the means to get the whole court to second the motion, but who knew if she had other means to deal with those who were dissatisfied.

Who would want to die when they can live?

Soon it was the day when Qin Wanrong ascended the throne. May 6th was the same day as the day when Qin Wanrong entered the palace 23 years ago. The weather was fine, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. Everything went very smoothly. Qin Wanrong wore the dragon robe made by Nanny Xing herself and walked towards the supreme position step by step.

As the coronation ceremony came to an end, the reputation system in Qin Wanrong's mind suddenly burst into a golden light. After checking, Qin Wanrong found that it was because she had exceeded the highest achievement of the reputation system and won the ultimate prize of the reputation system.

Under normal circumstances, the branch harem status line and reputation line of the reputation system will reach the top during the mission. For the harem status line, if you clear the level from queen, you can get a passing score, and becoming queen mother is also considered passing. However, if you do not become queen but only queen mother, you can only get a passing score. You can get high scores by becoming queen first and then queen mother, and the highest score is becoming grand queen mother.

Becoming an empress is not something that can be accomplished by simply getting the highest score. It is an additional hidden level, similar to the achievement in Candy Crush Saga where a player can only have three stars but gets a full star of five.

Qin Wanrong clicked on the ultimate prize and found that it was a portable space that could bind her soul. With it, Qin Wanrong could use it no matter which world she went to in the future, and it would no longer conflict with the golden finger given by the system.

Qin Wanrong was quite satisfied. After all, things like portable space seemed to be overused by time-traveling heroines, but it would be really nice to really have one.

After becoming the empress, Xiao Qinshi's resentment was completely calmed down. No matter how bold she was, she could only secretly plan for a small marquisate title. Now that the tasker directly used her body to become the empress, how could Xiao Qinshi not be satisfied?

Now she no longer cared about who occupied her body. Even if it was not herself, she could use her own body and her own name to leave a heavy mark in history, letting everyone in later generations know Qin Wanrong. What else was there for her to worry about?

She is now in a more positive mood.
