"Scoring the highest in academics, yet ranking last in class attendance?" Zhao Douan instinctively sensed there was a story behind this.
At the top of Emperor Tower, Xu Zhenguan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Because I am a woman."
Zhao Douan was startled. "Just like that?"
"What else?" the white-robed Empress turned her head to glance at him, "Isn't that enough?"
She picked up the wine jar, took another swallow, and then hurled the large jar down the railing, shattering it with a crash.
The Palace Attendants below were not surprised, as if it were the norm.
Xu Zhenguan said with a touch of self-mockery,
"From ancient times, princesses have been names without power. Even born into the Royal family, they could not escape this fate.
If I, as an Imperial Princess, surpassed all the princes especially the Crown Prince in academics, and it spread, wouldn't people say the Royal men were incompetent? That they were suppressed by a mere woman?
