Chapter 870

Although these girls could be considered talented women, they usually only read poems and poems about romance, and what they wrote were also some sad and sad works. Even the commoner girls didn't do any chores and had never truly experienced the sufferings of the common people.

He wanted them to think of a way to solve the drought that even the ministers of the court couldn't solve?

This was simply an idiot's dream!

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help shaking her head with a sigh. She felt that her son's idea was too whimsical and it was too hard on these girls.

If they had a good idea, why would the court need to support these ministers!

She thought about it and instantly became angry.

Why did the emperor give them a problem that no one could solve, it was clear that he didn't want an empress! This stinky brat, he actually dared to play tricks with her at this time!

Empress Dowager Zhou's face instantly sunk.

"Emperor, what do you mean by this! Could it be that if the Guan Nan area's drought isn't solved, you won't get married for another day? "

"Your son doesn't mean this ….."

"Then what do you mean!" Empress Dowager Zhou angrily interrupted Mo Chuan and said in a sharp voice, "Even the ministers of the court can't solve this problem, yet you're counting on these girls to solve it. They are all girls, they are not scholars or officials! For this kind of country's flood and drought, you should be asking those officials who are receiving their salaries, not these weak girls! "

When the girls heard this, their eyes filled with respect and worship as they looked at Empress Dowager Zhou. A sense of closeness and gratitude filled their hearts.

The Empress Dowager was truly good, these words were exactly what they wanted to say!

"Mother, could it be that you've forgotten something? The rise and fall of a country is everyone's responsibility! Officials are people, women are also people. What is called talent? What is called virtue? Not knowing how to compose a few poems and recite a few songs is called being talented and virtuous! Your son wants to marry an empress of a country, she needs to understand the suffering of the people, share the burden of the ruler, and share the same ideals as your son. Your son doesn't want to marry a pretty vase in the palace, not a canary that can only sing in a cage! Mother, your son's meaning, do you understand? "

Mo Chuan spoke in a forceful voice. Each word was like a hammer hitting Empress Dowager Zhou's chest.

She looked at Mo Chuan in a daze, looking at him with a completely new gaze, like she was seeing him for the first time.

As she stared at it, she felt her eyes warm up, and a warm current rushed up to her head.

Her son, had finally grown up!

He had his own thoughts, his own understanding, and his own ability to discern things. She could finally hand over the heavy burden on her shoulders to him.

"Emperor, I understand what you mean. Empress Mother will definitely help you choose a satisfactory girl to be your Empress!"

Empress Dowager Zhou reached out and grabbed her son 'right hand, giving him a confident smile.

Mo Chuan's words made the faces of the young girls turn red. They lowered their heads, wishing there was a crack in the ground for them to hide in.

Even the arrogant Xia Yu Yan, who looked down on the other girls, was ashamed. She truly believed that her poems were good and that she had the reputation of being the most talented girl in the capital. Many young masters who admired her reputation came to ask her for advice and to ask for her hand in marriage. They had almost trampled over the threshold of her house, and it had also fostered her arrogant and conceited personality.
