Chapter 426: I Will Not Approve This Marriage

Qin Feng thought about the ancient imperial examination system, which was the only way for commoners to change their destiny and enter the official world.

If the Great Qian could implement the Imperial Examination System, the situation of having no opportunity for education would naturally change.

But regardless of whether the powerful officials in the court would support this system, he didn’t even have the qualifications to make this proposal to the emperor.

After all, except for his identity as a first-level jade demon-slayer, Qin Feng had no official status and had no way to even meet Emperor Ming.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, “Wait a minute. Who said that I have to propose this imperial examination system to the emperor? As long as someone can talk to the emperor about it, that’s enough.”

In Qin Feng’s mind, an image of a woman disguised as a man immediately appeared. It was Ya An, or more precisely, Princess Anya!

“Even if proposing the Imperial Examination System to the Emperor doesn’t guarantee approval, you won’t know until you try.”

“If the Emperor Ming is open minded and he is interested in the Imperial Examination System and wants to break the monopoly of the powerful officials in the court, a new world may open up for scholars from poor backgrounds!”

Thinking of this, Qin Feng’s confidence was reignited.

He looked at Han Zhi, who was holding back tears in the room, and decided to quickly go back, jot down the details of the imperial examination system, and then find Anya tomorrow to have her propose it to the Emperor Ming.

“Senior Yang, I have other matters to attend to tomorrow. Please take care of matters at the Poor Scholar Academy with Senior Fei.”

“Sure.” Yang Qian nodded and reminded, “But remember not to act recklessly.”

“Senior Yang, rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”

The next day, Qin Feng left the Qin residence early with the draft of the imperial examination system he wrote the previous night and arrived at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion in Imperial City.

Due to his good relationship with Wang Xu, someone led Qin Feng to the inner room as soon as he entered the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, where he met Princess Anya, who was back in men’s clothing, dressed in white.

Seeing Qin Feng, Anya raised her eyebrows, maintaining a calm and indifferent demeanor, “Why do you have time to come to me today?”

“Naturally, it’s because I wanted to see you.” Qin Feng glanced at Wang Xu not far away and casually said.

With these words, Anya’s face blushed slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Wang Xu also looked at Qin Feng with a surprised expression.

Only then did Qin Feng realize that there was some ambiguity in what he just said, and he hurriedly changed his words, “The main reason is that there are some things I want to discuss with you, so I came to find you specifically.”

Anya took a breath and calmed down her chest, which could not make any waves. She said calmly, “Go ahead.”

‘Most of the male protagonists in the books I’ve read seem to have that image.

No, no, what am I thinking? There’s no possibility between us.’

‘And he’s already married to Liu Jianli. Does he expect me to be a concubine, under someone else?’

Anya’s eyebrows furrowed and her expression changed. She was thinking about how to tactfully refuse him and maintain their friendship without hurting Qin Feng.

When she saw Qin Feng take something out of his pocket, Anya’s eyes widened. Could it be that he had even prepared a token of love? What was she going to do?

Then, Qin Feng unfolded a pile of white silk on the table.

‘Could this be a romantic love letter? Why is it so thick?’ Anya felt extremely uncomfortable and did not dare to look at the contents.

Seeing Anya avoiding eye contact, Qin Feng asked curiously, “Why do you look like that? Hurry up and read what I have written. If this thing gets the emperor’s approval, it will definitely shock the entire Great Qian!”

“Are you asking me to show this to Father Emperor?” Anya stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend.

“Otherwise? I just want to ask you to deliver this thing to the Emperor, that’s why I came to find you.”

“Even though I know the difficulty of this task is great, I want to give it a try.”

Qin Feng thought of those poor students he had taught; he wanted to secure a future for them!

Upon hearing this, Anya probably guessed the content of the message.

Surely, Qin Feng must be asking the emperor for a marriage!

But why does he only care about the emperor’s opinion and not her own?

Thinking about this, Anya’s expression turned displeased and she coldly said, “Give up. Even if the Emperor agrees, I will not consent to this marriage.”

“Marriage?” Qin Feng looked confused, “What are you talking about? These are my proposals for reforming the Great Qian Imperial Examination System. But I don’t have an official position, and it’s impossible for me to present these ideas officially.”

“That’s why I’ve come to ask for your help. Don’t just stand there, take a quick look and give me some advice.”

“Imperial Examination System Reform?!” Anya looked at the document on the desk, focused her gaze, and suddenly saw four big letters on the title page – Civil Service Examination System!

After all the confusion, it turned out to be her misunderstanding!

Thinking about it, Anya’s face suddenly turned bright red with a charming blush.
