Su Yunxuan happily rushed to the donation point, and Pei Qianluo had already directed people to unload most of the supplies she brought.

The truth is that she brought too many things and the donation point couldn't accommodate them.

Seeing Pei Qianluo again, Su Yunxuan felt very close to him, and was happy and grateful.

After ordering Yin Qian, who was following her, to deliver the remaining carriage supplies to the designated location, Su Yunxuan took Pei Qianluo's hand, personally helped her into her carriage, and took her into the palace.

On the second day in the court, Su Yunxuan personally appointed Pei Qianluo as another Taifu of Yunsheng, with the same status as Su Changfeng. In addition to assisting her in handling state affairs, she also managed all the female officials in the future.

As soon as she finished the announcement, several young officials stood up to express their dissatisfaction.

They had studied hard, gone through layers of screening, and gone through hardships to squeeze into the Yunsheng court. How could they accept that Pei Qianluo, a young woman who only donated some money, surpassed them and took a high position.

After their protest, some old ministers also stood up and questioned Su Yunxuan's reward.

They spoke sharply, mocking Pei Qianluo for being rich and powerful, having unknown origins, and being too young to even know a few words...

In order to show their erudition, they even asked Pei Qianluo questions based on classics in class, attempting to humiliate Pei Qianluo and embarrass Su Yunxuan.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

Who is Pei Qianluo?

He was the heir to the Fenglan throne who was carefully trained by the Pei family, a prominent Fenglan clan. He was trained according to the requirements of the princes since childhood and even learned much more than the princes.

An old minister asked three questions in a row, and Pei Qianluo answered them calmly and fluently.

Seeing Feng Lan like this, the court officials were astonished. Seven or eight more people stood up one after another, asking Pei Qianluo all kinds of questions in disbelief.

Su Yunxuan watched from the top and did not stop it.

Pei Qianluo is extremely talented and she knows it better than anyone else.

In her previous life, when she knew that Pei Qianluo would be betrothed to Feng Yuqi and become Feng Yuqi's Crown Princess, she tried to find out about Pei Qianluo from all sides.

Pei Qianluo has a beautiful appearance and excellent talents. The most rare thing is that Pei Qianluo is not like Shen Qianqian who is obsessed with fame and fortune. She has a noble character and does not fight with the world. She is truly a person of noble character cultivated by an aristocratic family.

That was why, when she was sure that Feng Yuqi was indeed ruthless to her, she drew her sword so decisively.

In that world, there was no one worthy of her memory.

After her rebirth, she met Su Changfeng and fell in love with him completely. Then she gradually realized:

In her previous life, she was too afraid of being alone, so after her family left her, she wanted to cling tightly to Feng Yuqi, the only one who was willing to help her, mistakenly thinking that she liked Feng Yuqi.

After feeling jealous of Pei Qianluo's liking for Su Changfeng, she became more certain of her thoughts.

Knowing that Pei Qianluo liked Su Changfeng, and seeing them behaving intimately together, she couldn't help feeling jealous. She asked herself whether she would give Su Changfeng to Pei Qianluo.

As long as Su Changfeng still loves her, she will never give Su Changfeng to anyone else.

This strong possessiveness was something I had never experienced in my previous life.

In her previous life, when she knew that Feng Yuqi was going to marry Pei Qianluo and that Pei Qianluo was such an outstanding woman, she felt that Pei Qianluo was more suitable for Feng Yuqi than her.

So, she left with no regrets.

Pei Qianluo did not disappoint Su Yunxuan.

Not only did she answer everyone's questions beautifully, she also took the initiative to ask questions in response.

She asked: "What do the legends of Nuwa mending the sky, Jingwei filling the sea, and Luozu raising silkworms and reeling silk have in common?"

The court officials were stunned for a moment and all frowned in thought.

She then asked, "Who are the Three Sky Girls, the Deer Fairy, Ehuang, and Nvying?"

"They are all women." Someone reacted and shouted excitedly.

At the top, Su Yunxuan curled her lips with satisfaction and smiled knowingly.

Pei Qianluo glanced at the person answering the question with approval, and said, "Since ancient times, women's wisdom and courage have been no less than men's. There are countless stories and books praising women's greatness, which have been passed down from generation to generation. Why do you look down on women like this?"

The excitement on the face of the young official who answered the question correctly disappeared instantly when he met the glances of his colleagues. He lowered his head in embarrassment and shrank back.

Glancing at everyone, Pei Qianluo bowed to Su Yunxuan, then turned to the ministers and said, "As the old saying goes: If you eat the emperor's salary, you must be loyal to the emperor.

Even though I am a woman, I know that the Empress is the most respected. The people of Yunsheng are in dire straits, but you male officials are so arrogant and noble, wasting your time here and questioning the Empress's decisions. I am a newcomer and have really gained a lot of experience."

Her sarcastic remarks prompted several ministers to immediately stand up and fight back.

Prince Xu, who had not expressed his opinion until now, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He strode out of the crowd and sternly stopped his ministers who were about to fight back.

The ministers were intimidated by his aura and they all shut up and lowered their eyes.

Prince Xu walked to the front of the ministers and bowed respectfully to Su Yunxuan, the chief minister.

After a while, he raised his head, turned around, and slowly scanned the ministers with contempt and intimidation, then pointed at Su Yunxuan who was standing at the top with one finger and said indignantly:

“Back then, you didn’t agree to her father taking her back to the palace, so she was left to wander outside for many years while you lived a life of luxury in Yunsheng.

Now, she has gone through so much hardship to return to Yunsheng, and has taken on the responsibility of being the empress regardless of past grudges. She has tried her best to lead the people of Yunsheng through this natural disaster, and you...

Instead of thinking about how to do your job well, share the worries of the emperor, save the country and the people, you are here to embarrass the hero who has come thousands of miles to deliver supplies, and debate with her about the superiority of men and the inferiority of women...

I am ashamed of you.”

As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on several of his most senior colleagues and said sarcastically, "I think what this girl said is absolutely right. Some of you don't deserve to be here."

After saying that, he turned around again, bowed to Su Yunxuan and said, "This old minister expresses his position. This old minister supports your majesty's reward for this woman."

Then, he turned to Pei Qianluo and thanked him, "Taifu Pei, it is my honor to serve with you. The people of Yunsheng have received your donation. I would like to thank you on behalf of Your Highness and the people of Yunsheng for your noble act."

Prince Xu's statement completely established the authority of Empress Su Yunxuan.

No one dared to question her decision anymore.

After the court meeting, the streets and alleys of Yunsheng capital were quickly filled with wedding notices.

Overnight, almost all the people in the capital knew that the beautiful woman who came from nowhere during the day, dragging thirty-six carts of supplies and was the first to step forward and volunteer, was suddenly promoted to Taifu Yunsheng.

Now, those talented ladies from aristocratic families who had been held down could no longer sit still.

At dawn the next day, many women in formal attire, accompanied by their servants, went to various donation points in carts to deliver supplies.

They rushed to get ahead, fearing that they would fall behind those they knew.

For a whole day, the city of Yunsheng was completely blocked.

There were not enough people in the fund-raising office to count the finances, so Pei Qianluo took up the post urgently. He immediately selected some women who looked capable and were interested in becoming officials in the court, and assigned them to help in various places.

The women who came to donate had not expected to be assigned a job so soon. When they heard that their future destination and position would be determined based on their performance, they all worked very hard.
