Chapter 54: The Opportunity to Show

Seeing that the Queen Mother wanted to entrust her with an important task, Princess Taiping was overjoyed, her eyes were bright, and her mood was excited.

Before, the Queen Mother asked her for her views on the women's scientific examination, which was nothing. She had often asked for her to handle this matter in the past, but this time she proposed to let her handle this matter in detail, which is unique! Although the importance of the women's scientific examination has not been revealed at present and is not considered a major matter in the court, in the future, everyone will gradually realize that the importance of the women's scientific examination will not be much lower than that of the men's imperial examination.

Moreover, the women's scientific examination is of more important significance to Princess Taiping. If the female examination is hosted by her, the talented woman selected in the end will be considered her disciples.

The talented women who can pass the county examination and kill the generals and stand out in the palace examinations of the county examinations are not only talented, but also have a strong family background. They are either the daughters of officials or the ladies of wealthy families. These talented women have become her disciples, so the family behind them will naturally become part of her sphere of influence... This is of course a great thing!

However, Princess Taiping still suppressed this excitement and excitement, and mischievously smacked her tongue at Wu Zetian: "Is what my mother said true?" The implication was that she was a little worried that her mother was coaxing her.

"I have a good idea to coax you with my words?" Wu Zetian smiled kindly.

Although Wu Zetian is very fond of his daughter Princess Taiping and gives whatever he wants, he never entrusted the important tasks of the court, for fear of arousing the latter's covetousness for the artifact, and in the end he was hurt and hit by not getting anything.

This time, influenced by Zhang Lin's words "daughters can also inherit the throne" and "there are many queens in the world", Wu Zetian decided to let his daughter Princess Taiping take on some things, starting with the newly-created women's scientific expedition to see her actual abilities. This does not mean that Wu Zetian intended to let Princess Taiping be the crown prince, but wanted to see if she had real materials. If the latter really had a great talent to handle big things, she might not rule out this possibility.

Since the Queen Mother said "golden words and jade words", there will naturally be no falsehood. Princess Taiping no longer hides her thoughts, because this is a rare opportunity for her to show her talents. She agreed happily: "The Queen Mother is willing to hand over the women's examination to her daughter. If her daughter cannot ask for it, how can she not be willing! The daughter will do her best to run the women's examination, strive to select talented women in the world, summon all into the palace, drive the Queen Mother and serve the country of the Great Zhou."

"Okay, okay!" After hearing Princess Taiping's confident words, a satisfied light flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, nodded and praised two good things. Then he raised his hand and pointed to Shangguan Wan'er, and instructed in a gentle voice: "For women's scientific examination, Yue'er, you will be the assistant manager."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my best to assist the princess to complete the women's scientific examination!" Shangguan Wan'er's face showed a pleasant smile and she replied respectfully.

"Tomorrow, the court will hold a grand event to entertain the Turkic mission, so you can also attend." Finally, Wu Zetian explained softly to Princess Taiping...

...

Crane Control Monitor.

"The imperial edict is here~" A woman's shout came into the crane control and supervision hall at the gate of the three entrances, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, loud and clear.

"Crazy~"

"I'm going to accept the order~"

In the main hall of the Crane Control and Supervision, there were a lot of Yingying and Yanyan, led by Zhang Yizhi, who lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground. Zhang Lin was also on the list, waiting for the angels to enter the main hall from the gate to announce the imperial edict.

Because the Crane Control Supervisor is in a deep state, it takes a certain amount of time to walk from the gate to the main hall. During the gap when the angel enters, Xue Ziyi, who was kneeling beside Zhang Lin, looked at Zhang Lin with his head tilted, with a strange expression on his face, and said mysteriously: "Shiwulang is so powerful, I really admire him!"

Zhang Lin was confused when he heard this, and didn't know what the other party meant. He tilted his head slightly, frowned and asked, "What do you admire?"

"You are really a hero at the South Gate to beat the prime minister of the dynasty. It is equivalent to giving us prides!" Xue Ziyi raised his thumbs up and said in anger, but his voice was low and the others around him could not hear it.

"Nothing, who did you hear random talk?" After hearing this, Zhang Lin's pupils contracted with nervousness and denied it. He originally thought that in addition to Shangguan Wan'er's master and servant, there were also some officials and guards in the front hall who knew about it, but no one knew about it. Unexpectedly, Xue Ziyi knew about it. Where did he get the news? Could it be that he had from Shangguan Wan'er? Is this impossible?

"There is no news in the palace that I don't know." Xue Ziyi raised his chin smugly.

"I admire you." Zhang Lin smiled mechanically, but was thinking in his heart that I didn't even know about the incident of leaving the palace privately. Otherwise, they would definitely punish me. How could Xue Ziyi know about this, and how did he know about it?

"Don't worry, Shiwulang, I won't tell anyone about this." Xue Ziyi said affectionately, stretched out a pig's hand and patted Zhang Lin's shoulder very quickly. Since there were many people kneeling in the main hall, everyone's kneeling was very limited, and the latter hurriedly tilted his body to the other side, and his head almost hit Tian Daogui's chin next to him.

"What's going on with you? It's time to go, don't you stop?" Tian Daogui frowned, looked at Zhang Lin and Xue Ziyi with suspicious eyes, and blamed him dissatisfiedly.

While speaking, Shangguan Wan'er, holding a bright imperial edict in her hand, entered the main hall surrounded by several palace maids, and faced the worship of the hall kneeling on the ground, standing gracefully, her eyes swept across people's faces. When she saw Zhang Lin also in the row, her eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't say anything. She held the imperial edict in her hands and slowly unfolded, showing a solemn look on her face, and read:

"After the order of Tianjing, the emperor issued an edict: The Great Zhou and the Turks will marry each other, and the recession of the army will bring peace, and the two countries will be in harmony. This is a blessing for the country and a blessing for the people. The court will hold a ceremony for the enthronement of the Yiyang County Princess in Liangyi Hall tomorrow and a grand banquet for entertaining the Turkic envoys. Because the Turkic envoys admire the style of our dynasty, Tenen ensured that the envoys of the Crane Supervisory Commission participated in this event and presented a wonderful program at the event. I admire this!"

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Zhang Yizhi said respectfully, and bent down and leaned down on the ground, bowing his head as if he was polite. The same was true for others.

"This is a glorious and a great opportunity for you to show your own abilities. You must seize it." Shangguan Wan'er handed the imperial edict to Zhang Yizhi and said in a sweet voice. Although she looked down on these offerings in her heart, she had to say a few official words. When she spoke, her eyes swept over Zhang Lin intentionally or unintentionally.

"Thank you, Lord Shangguan, for your hard work, to bring us such a good deed!" Zhang Yizhi said happily and took over the imperial edict with both hands.

At the time when Shangguan Wan'er greeted Zhang Yizhi and handed over the imperial edict, Xue Ziyi leaned over to Zhang Lin again and said in a daze: "Do you want to know which place this Shangguan Wan'er ranks on the Great Zhou Beauty List?"

Zhang Lin had no interest in talking about it at first. When he heard Shangguan Wan'er's name, his expression was cheered up, his body tilted slightly, and he asked in a low voice and curious manner: "Which one?"
