The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

The issue of adding female officers was implemented very quickly due to Emperor Yongning's resolute determination.

Many ministers were not convinced at first, but many things were analyzed and refuted by sensible people in the court. These people also realized that

Many positions are indeed more suitable for women.

It is true that women can better empathize with many things.

Apart from legal principles, there is nothing more than human feelings, and how to grasp the balance and scale between the two requires not only that the officials be familiar with the laws of the day, but also have a benevolent heart that can be close to the people.

Moreover, many female prisoners find it difficult to talk about topics when facing male officials, and they can only open up to the same sex.

Therefore, in addition to the Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, etc. in the harem, who all perform their own duties, the positions of female officials in the criminal and prison investigation and other official offices of the previous dynasty will also be appropriately added.

This is another world for women, and it is also the blessing that the people of Zhou Dynasty look forward to.

After the position is settled, the next step is the examination and selection of officials;

In the past, officials could be selected through examinations or internal recommendations;

Jiang Lingyi thought about it and felt that nepotism would be inevitable if it was an internal recommendation;

And since you want to benefit women, you must do everything according to your abilities.

His beloved wife had spoken, and Emperor Yongning had no reason to disobey him. He immediately decreed that the selection of female officials must go through three levels of examinations and select the best. It was forbidden for any dignitaries in the court to recommend them, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The primary election is scheduled for the 9th and 12th day of July;

The ninth day of the Lunar New Year is mainly for the selection of female officials in the harem, which examines the level of female queens, cooking skills, and acupuncture skills;

On a sunny day, the outside of Ying'an's door should be decorated in a neat and orderly manner, with all kinds of selection utensils readily available.

The examiners are all the aunts in charge of the palace who are sophisticated and have a vicious eye, as well as the kitchen chef and the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital.

There are also Jinyi guards watching the whole process. His Majesty has ordered that if anyone has ulterior motives and commits crimes, he will be captured on the spot.

As a queen, Jiang Lingyi wanted to attend the event in person, but she was afraid that her going would cause a sensation and affect the performance of the candidates;

Then he took Meng Xian and the two of them to the Star-Zhaing Tower in the palace.

This is the highest palace in the palace, with a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, including the scenery outside Ying'an Gate.

Although she was far away and could not see it so clearly, Meng Xian felt that she could clearly feel the excitement and joy from the heart of every candidate.

Their names are written on each person's examination paper.

In the past, at home, neighbors would either call them relatives or call them so-and-so’s daughter, so-and-so’s sister, or so-and-so’s eldest girl.

This is the first time that they are no one but themselves!

Jiang Lingyi looked into the distance and was equally happy for these girls, "Xianxiao, you have worked hard these days."

Meng Xian shook her head, "Sister, why are you so polite to me?"

"Besides, it would be an honor to be able to contribute to something like this."

Jiang Lingyi really likes his younger brother and sister more and more;

Needless to say, her appearance is outstanding, and her behavior and speech are flawless. She is like a flower that can explain things, making people feel comfortable and at ease.

She held Meng Xian's hand and said, "Speaking of which, your and Yan Qing's second wedding banquet has also been delayed until now because of the female officer."

"To put it bluntly, as a sister, I am not considerate enough."

Meng Lian: "Sister, what did you say?"

Jiang Lingyi: "Now everything is completed. If there is any further delay, I'm afraid my parents will blame me for being ignorant."

"I have prepared a small gift for all the relatives in Jiangnan. Remember to bring it with you when the time comes. It can be considered as a token of my gratitude."

"Sister is very considerate. I would like to thank you on behalf of my relatives."

Jiang Lingyi was extremely melancholy, "Xianxiao, you must not change, okay?"

Meng Xian was startled, not understanding the meaning of these words.

"Since I became a queen, I have realized that the saying that I feel like I am in a high place is not an annoying way to show off;"

"Xianxian, please remember that in front of you, I am not a queen, but just your aunt. You only need to call me Ajie, okay?"

The bitterness in these words is self-evident;

Meng Xian held her hand back, with firm eyes and a gentle voice, "Sister, don't worry, I won't change, and neither will Yanqing."

"A sister will always be just a sister to us."

Jiang Lingyi's nose felt sour and she was about to shed tears, "Yeah."

……

All major events in the capital have been completed, so the wedding banquet in Jiangnan cannot be postponed any longer.

On July 15th, Jiang Heng and Meng Xian returned to the south of the Yangtze River by boat.

Here in Jiangnan, everything needed for the happy event has been prepared, but only the two newlyweds need to come back to complete the ceremony.

All the wedding invitations from the relatives were sent out, and everyone said with a smile that they would definitely come and drink the wedding wine.

At the end of the month, on the 30th day of the month,

The ship Jiang Heng and Mengxian were on docked in the Jiangnan water town.

on the pier,

The servants of the Meng family had been waiting there early, and as soon as they saw the people, they welcomed the two masters into the carriage.

The Meng family’s old house,

The first thing I do when I get home is have a reunion dinner.

Everyone was there, Meng Yuan and his wife, Meng Zhou, and the other three brothers and sisters of the Meng family, Mo Gao and Xie Lanyi were also there.

They were all in pairs, so Meng Qi, who was alone, stood out.

The eyes of several elders couldn't help but look at Meng Qi again and again, but the person involved's expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm as he continued to eat and drink.

Meng Yuan drank a few more drinks and talked too much, "Now that we have something to do with Xian Lian, it's time to organize one for eldest brother."

These words made Meng Zhou, who was nearly forty years old, blushing, "What are you talking about?"

Meng Yuan: "What did I say wrong? Do you want Madam Liu to follow you with no name or status?"

That's naturally impossible.

He had been walking alone for half his life before meeting such an intimate person. How could he be willing to wrong her in the slightest.

Thinking of his sweetheart, Meng Zhou, who is usually serious and serious, could not hide his tenderness.

Meng Qi's teeth were really sore after seeing this.

Forget about brothers and sisters, no matter how uncles can stimulate her!

The chopsticks under her hand became a punching bag for her to vent her anger, and they squeaked loudly. Meng Xian next to her looked sideways at her, "Second sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

She said expressionlessly, "No."

Meng Xian followed her line of sight and saw Mo Gao diligently serving dishes to her eldest sister, while Meng Wan smiled coquettishly.

Meng Xian understood, "Second sister is envious?"

Meng Qi looked horrified, "No! No!"

Meng Xian smiled ambiguously, "Yes, yes, no, no."

Meng Qi: "..."

Meng Xian looked around.

My parents and uncle still look good, and they are more than ten years younger than their peers, which shows that their lives are going smoothly;

Big brother and Lan Yi,

Although Lan Yi still doesn't have a good face towards her eldest brother, being able to come here today shows that she still has eldest brother in her heart;

Sister and Mo Gao don’t have to worry about this.

Mo Gao was so pinched that he was so frightened that he scratched his head when the eldest sister frowned. He was completely different from Mr. Bingshan when they first met;

As for the second sister——

Meng Xian has always felt that the second sister is more reliable than the eldest sister. Her personality is very similar to that of her eldest brother, calm and reserved, but also unpredictable.

Return to your own yard,

Meng Xian took Jiang Heng to the bedroom. If he didn't know her well, Jiang Heng would have thought that his wife was in a hurry.

Entering the back room, there was no one around.

Meng Xian: "Do you think Chen Yan really likes my second sister? How is he? Is he reliable?"

Although Jiang Heng was confused by her three consecutive questions, he still instinctively answered them one by one, "I don't know whether he is sincere or not; he is pretty good and reliable."

Meng Xian's red lips pursed slightly, "But I always feel that he doesn't seem to be someone who loves others."

Jiang Heng's face was filled with disbelief, and then he gave her a thumbs up, "Madam, you really have a burning gaze, that guy is like that."

"Jia Zhi and I often say that if someone becomes his wife, he will probably live on the ice."

Meng Xian sneered, "Then my second sister definitely doesn't deserve this miserable life!"

Jiang Heng: "...You are overthinking. How can the second sister, a hero among women, be easily manipulated by others?"

"Now the eldest sister and I have a destination. I also hope that the second sister can have a good marriage of her own."

"Yes, the second sister is so good, she must be destined for her." The man hugged her from behind, looking serious.

He has already regarded her relatives as his own, and naturally he sincerely hopes that both aunts will meet their lovers and have a smooth life.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. In a few days, we are going to get married again~" The girl had a pretty smile and a bit of mischief in her eyes. She seemed to find this matter quite interesting.

"Yes, you have to ride in the sedan chair once more, be my bride again, and we have to enter the bridal chamber again."

The man's voice was hoarse and inexplicably beguiling.

When Meng Xian heard about the wedding, her face turned red. She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she gave the man a shy look and said, "I'm taking advantage of you."

The man laughed loudly and accepted what he said.

Baili, who was coming to deliver something, heard the sound and sighed inwardly.

Since marrying the young lady, the prince has become more and more smiling.
