Chapter 155 Stupid Women
The Emperor’s procession suddenly arrived, and everyone was stunned for a few breaths before fell down to kneel and salute. Remembering the farce that just happened, their faces turned purple and red, looking very wonderful.

“Madam, please get up.” Emperor Sheng Yuan led along a child to take two quick steps and personally supported Guan Suyi. The child then hugged her legs and shouted “sister” crisply. It was Guan Mumu, the heir adopted by the Emperor Teacher Mansion, but for some unknown reason he was brought by the emperor.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Guan Suyi bent her knees, hugged her brother, and asked in a low voice, “Why are you here?”

Mu Mu was very smart and sensible. Knowing that some words could not be said in public, he leaned forward next to her ear and whispered with his small hands covering his mouth, “Brother-in-law said that he will take me to see grandfather in Imperial Manor and go hunting. I receive father and mother’s permission to go out. My brother-in-law also gave me a bow and arrow, it’s called the Sun-shooting Devine Bow, it’s really amazing, look!” He pulled something from his back with his short hand, making Guan Suyi to glanced back, and sure enough she saw a jewel-encrusted bow and arrow hung on his little arm, shining beautifully.

“Sun-shooting Devine Bow? Isn’t that an artifact used by Hou Yi*? It’s amazing!” Guan Suyi was not the type of person who pour cold water on children, so she naturally continued to follow the conversation, causing Mu Mu to squinted his eyes with smile and his small chest lifted up high.

While eavesdropping on the conversation between the brother and sister, Emperor Sheng Yuan waved his hands to let everyone get up, walked straight to the main seat, and ordered, “Bring the article, I want to read it carefully.”

Ji Chengyue immediately offered the manuscript with both hands, and then stepped aside with red face. After this incident, he no longer dared to claim himself as a great talent. Who would have thought that this booklet that recorded women’s virtues and deeds would conceal such a huge hidden danger? If it wasn’t for Miss Guan’s elaborate writing, none of the people present would have thought of it, and would also contributed its widespread propaganda…

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became. Many people were too embarrassed to raise their heads. Some people raised their sleeves to cover their faces, wishing they could crawl under the table. Among them, Xu Yayan was the most uncomfortable. She repeatedly recalled Guan Suyi’s article, trying to find out the flaws, but her brain became a pot of porridge, and she was just too embarrassed.

Emperor Sheng Yuan did not forget to take care of Madam and brother-in-law when he read the manuscript. He patted the cushion on his side and said softly, “Madam, please take a seat. I may have questions to ask later.”

Guan Suyi thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then led her brother to sit down comfortably. Everyone also returned to their respective positions, anxiously waiting. Madam Ji pulled Ji Ting behind her and tried to hide the person. She regretted it so much that her intestines were blue. Recalling that today was not supposed to be the day the Qian family come to pick people up, but she sent a message, specially arranged it for today, and then ordered her maid to let Ji Ting come in and cry, so that she could use the question to humiliate Guan Suyi. But she didn’t expect her to directly wrote an article, and actually refuted the female commandment “faithful unto death” as useless, and let the emperor listen to it. If the emperor agreed with her point of view, wouldn’t the Ji family become a big joke?

Half an hour later, Emperor Sheng Yuan had finished reading the article and handed it over to the accompanying minister to read. One of them was the Minister of the Household, who received the article as if he obtained the most precious treasure. He read it once, read it twice, read it trice, and reluctantly handed it over when his colleagues urged him.
