The court wants to hold a female examination?
The meeting at the Ministry of Rites was not yet concluded when this shocking news had already spread. Within the elite circles of the Capital City, it spread swiftly and caused a stir no less than the palace coup a few months ago.
"Absurd! Women should be virtuous and gentle; how can it be reasonable for them to show themselves and serve as female officials?"
"Hush! Speak more softly! With such words, you might offend both the Emperor's Mr. Zhao in the palace and the female imperial physician, Sun Zelan."
Isn't that so? Now there is an Empress in Da Liang, who not only shows herself every day but also sits on the Dragon Throne to receive the officials' kneeling salutations and manages the court affairs!
