Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 23: I Remember You! Ghost King's Three Attendants, Lingbi Seeks an Official Position

After Bai Yu left in a carefree manner, leaving behind an inexplicable remark,

He didn't wait for the other party's response and turned to leave.

"Prodigal son who refuses to settle down!"

Seeing Bai Yu's figure departing,

The young man in black clothes suddenly froze,

His face slightly flushed, as if trying to hide something by covering his chest.

He secretly spat out.

"Bai Yu?"

"I remember you."

He glared fiercely at Bai Yu's back, but didn't approach him. Instead, he waved his hand towards the servant behind him and left in another direction.

...

The current emperor is forty-five years old,

Rumors in the streets say he has nine sons and four daughters.

Among them, there are three legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter.

The eldest daughter, Lan Xi, is gentle, knowledgeable, well-versed in both academia and politics, and governs the country with skill.

The second son, Lan Chi, is proficient in military strategy and tactics. In his youth, he participated in the Northern County battlefield and achieved great fame in the army. He is decisive in character and as fierce as a tiger.

There are not many rumors about the third son, Lan Hao.

The fourth son, Lan Chen, is currently only sixteen years old.

Forty-five years old is not considered young for an emperor,

The courtiers constantly present their petitions, and there is constant infighting between the eldest daughter and the eldest son.

However, the current emperor has never clearly designated a successor.

"Heh..."

Leaving an impression on those in power is always a good thing!

Bai Yu, with keen ears and eyes, naturally knew that the other party had already left.

With a light laugh, he didn't linger.

It seemed that he didn't care much about this matter.

"Hello, miss, may I get to know you?"

He walked to the other side,

Revealing a bright smile, he struck up a conversation with a girl he had been observing for a while.

He was just one step away from taking out his phone to scan a QR code.

The Qianyuan Dynasty does not discriminate against women.

In the past two hundred years, there have been three female empresses.

Fifty years ago, there was a brilliant female general who dressed as a man and joined the army. With a hundred thousand soldiers, she defeated an enemy army of five hundred thousand, causing them to scatter in disarray.

She pursued the enemy for ten miles, her reputation stopping only when a baby cried.

She forged a lasting peace with the enemy country for fifty years.

The current Ministry of Rites Shangshu, a high-ranking official of the second rank, is Li Wanying, known as the number one talented woman in the capital.

There are countless examples like these.

These people have all left their names in history and are no less remarkable than men.

Naturally, the imperial examinations do not discriminate against female candidates, whether in the literary or military examinations.

However, compared to men, women still have inherent disadvantages.

In addition, there are some stubborn ideological constraints.

Even if they are given enough tolerance and opportunities, there are still few outstanding and remarkable women.

Most of them still focus on being good wives and mothers.

Among the thousands of people rushing to take the imperial examinations,

The female scholars are barely reaching a hundred people.

Female examinations are special, so they are treated separately.

Talented women like Lady Li Wanying are rare throughout history.

Most people in the world are ordinary.

Even if women take the exam,

most of them are older and their appearance is not necessarily beautiful.

At most, they are cultured and have a unique temperament.

However, among the crowd, there is someone special.

That person is the one in front of Bai Yu.

"Um... how did you...?"

The young girl has well-defined features, especially her eyes, which are bright and beautiful.

Normally, a woman like her appearing here should stand out and attract attention.

However, she stands quietly alone, seemingly unnoticed by anyone.

She seems a bit restrained, with the demeanor of a maid or servant, and appears somewhat humble.

When Bai Yu speaks to her, she freezes in place, seemingly surprised.

Clearly... she used some kind of magic,

with a very low presence, how did this person notice her?

She trembles suddenly, tightly gripping the pen in her hand, looking nervous and speaking somewhat incoherently.

"A graceful lady, a gentleman's ideal partner~"

"Miss, I would like to get to know you!"

Bai Yu, on the other hand, matches his debonair demeanor,

smiling and saying to the other person, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Bai Yu."

"Um... Hello, Mr. Bai, I'm Yao Yun."

Yao Yun hesitated for a moment,

Then immediately bowed slightly towards Bai Yu, introducing herself.

"Apologies, young master. I, Boliu Canzi, am not considered a beauty. I am focused on the imperial examination and have no romantic intentions."

"Thank you for your kindness..."

Although Bai Yu is good-looking and has a good temperament, a young scholar like him should be the favorite of young ladies.

But she still politely declined him.

Bai Yu was not upset, only smiling at her.

Pointing at the pen in the girl's hand, he said something meaningful.

"Miss, private pens are not allowed in the examination hall."

"The examination hall is strict, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

No wonder it's the capital!

There are indeed many demonic and evil spirits.

After encountering Hong Ling, it was on the day of the imperial examination that he encountered another special person.

When he saw Yao Yun, a picture flashed in his mind, and once again, a prompt appeared.

This girl in front of him seemed real and illusory at the same time,

Not the main focus,

But what is truly important is the pen she is holding in her hand.
