Chapter 352 Consort Fucha
When the results of the women's imperial examination were released, the capital city was in an uproar.
The girls who passed the exam cheered with joy.
Their family members were overjoyed and wept tears of happiness; their years of hard work had finally paid off.
The women who failed the exam were disappointed.
But more than anything, they were determined to succeed, secretly vowing to do so next time.
Hongchang personally received the outstanding female candidates for this imperial examination in the Golden Palace.
These women were poised and spoke eloquently.
Many suggestions were put forward regarding the development of commerce, agriculture, and education.
His unique insights on these topics greatly pleased Hongchang Long.
Subsequently, Hongchang bestowed upon them different official positions based on their achievements and talents.
Some were sent to various regions to promote advanced agricultural technologies.
Some entered the Ministry of Revenue to assist in managing finances, while others participated in drafting new laws.
Once these women have gained experience at the grassroots level,
A higher stage and a wider world await them.
These women have gone through numerous trials to get to where they are today.
Their safety is naturally of paramount importance.
Hongchang specially arranged to select a group of elite female soldiers from the military camp.
They were specifically responsible for protecting these female officials.
These female soldiers were all highly skilled in martial arts and extremely loyal.
However, they all had some internal injuries and were no longer suitable for going to the battlefield.
That's why he was chosen to protect the female officials.
The Mulan Autumn Hunt took place shortly after the women's imperial examination.
Before the Mulan Autumn Hunt, Fucha Peiyun specially summoned Princesses Shuhe, Wenyi, Shujia, and Wenyan to the palace.
These dozen or so princesses are now considered old maids in all but name.
Of course, in Fucha Peiyun's opinion, at this age, one would at most be a college graduate nowadays.
It is the perfect time to be in the prime of life and make great strides.
However, in the traditional view of the Qing Dynasty, they were truly old maids.
It's really time to consider their marriage.
Although the birth mothers of the princesses, such as Feng Ruozhao and Cao Qinmo, supported the princesses in pursuing their own careers and ideals,
But I also hope they can find a suitable man and have a child of their own.
Although Fucha Peiyun felt that princesses did not necessarily have to marry and have children
However, they understood Feng Ruozhao and the others' thoughts and respected the princesses' own choices.
Only then did they gather the princesses together and ask them what they thought.
Then, while they're at the Mulan Autumn Hunt, they can see if there's a man they fancy.
Fucha Peiyun smiled and said to the princesses:
"This Mulan Autumn Hunt is also a good opportunity to get to know talented young people."
If you have anyone you like, just tell me.
Shuhe spoke first:
"Your Majesty, I am wholeheartedly devoted to serving the country, and I do not wish to consider marriage for the time being."
When they were little, they were worried that they would be sent to marry foreign rulers.
As I learned more and more and broadened my horizons...
Their confidence grew, and they were certain that they could live well even if they were sent for a political marriage.
But now the Qing Dynasty is so powerful that it no longer needs marriage alliances.
They were busy learning new things, busy working, and busy training for the battlefield.
I simply don't have that thought.
Wen Yi then added, "Empress Mother, I am just like my sister."
"Now is the time to serve the country; let's talk about marriage later."
The other princesses nodded in agreement.
Looking at the princesses' determined eyes, Fucha Peiyun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She knew that these princesses had gone through countless trials and tribulations from childhood to adulthood.
Their aspirations have long since transcended traditional married life.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and said:
"Since you all have your own ideas, I will not force you."
However, the Mulan Autumn Hunt is indeed a good opportunity.
You should also pay more attention; you might just meet someone you like.
Your mothers are all eagerly awaiting the arrival of their grandchildren.
