Chapter 109 New Master? New Employee!
Outside the Qiankun Palace.
Sheng Lanlan and her mother Xia Lian were waiting on the official road, looking anxious.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally saw Erdan running towards me, carrying the little princess and the little princess on his back.
"Huh," Sheng Lanlan exhaled, her cheeks puffed up, "Princess," she said with a sad look in her eyes, "you are finally back, His Majesty and His Majesty have been waiting for a while."
Xia Lian pulled her daughter. She always felt that her daughter was too casual with the little princess.
Dahua jumped off Erdan and rubbed Lanlan's face with her hand. "Oh, isn't that the walnut cheese made by Qianqianchan's aunt? We used two extra bowls."
As he said this, he took Qianqian off Erdan.
"How are those new masters?"
Dahua looked at Xia Lian curiously.
Now Xia Lian has a new identity. She is no longer a concubine in the Sheng family, but one of the female officials in charge of general affairs beside the princess.
This identity was her own choice and arranged by the Queen.
Xia Lian performed a standard court ceremony, "My lord, I can't see anything else, but there is a girl named Yue who is really stunning."
Dahua and Qianqian looked at each other and asked, "How stunning is she?"
"I can't really put it into words," Xia Lian tilted her head and thought, "Anyway, anyway, it's very beautiful."
Sheng Lanlan closed her eyes and shook her head, muttering softly, "Mom, I told you to read more books."
thump.
After receiving a slap from her mother, Sheng Lanlan smiled mysteriously at Dahua.
She blinked her lively eyes and lowered her voice, "Princess, that Yue beauty looks like a fairy, very, very attractive. She is different from other pretty girls. Her eyes seem to have thorns and hooks, which makes people's hearts itch."
Xia Lian......
He looked at his daughter in surprise and stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Then he looked at Dahua, "No, Princess, what are you learning in school?"
"Cough, cough, cough," Dahua hurriedly coughed a few times, holding the money and went to the Qiankun Palace without looking back.
Qianqian put his arms around Sister Hua’s neck and gave Sheng Lanlan a look that told her to fend for herself.
Sheng Lanlan...
He turned around and tried to run, but his mother grabbed him by the collar!
"Father, Emperor, Mother, be well."
Dahua smiled and took Qianqian's hand to greet them, then glanced at the dozen or so beauties in the hall and sat down next to her mother.
Erdan followed closely behind, and also looked around like Dahua and Qianqian, then he raised his big head and swayed to lie down beside Emperor Mingde's legs.
Successfully harvested three pieces of jerky.
[Tongzi,] Qianqian was excited, [Look quickly, are there any of these people with particularly bad personalities?]
[Yes,] the system is very weak, [and there are quite a few.]
[Hey, little princess, did you see that fair-looking girl? The one in the aqua blue skirt?]
Qian Qian spotted her at first sight, [Yeah, I saw that she is indeed pretty. Those eyes, as long as they contain a few tears, I will give you whatever you want. ]
Queen...
Big flower...
I tilted my head and wondered why Qianqian would think like this.
The system was helpless. [Little Princess, this is the daughter of the original legitimate daughter of the Dengzhou Yue family. Her father was originally the patriarch of the Yue family.]
[Under the intervention of your mother, the Yue clan appointed Yue Qiu, who had better conduct, as the new clan leader. The original clan leader was so angry that he asked to be expelled from the clan.]
[This Yue Xianger entered the palace to avoid disaster. ]
[Because when her father was the clan leader, she was arrogant and domineering, causing several girls in the family to be disfigured.]
[In the past, the clan members relied on the direct descendants to distribute resources, and even if they were wronged, they had to swallow their anger.]
[Until Yue Xiang'er's father asked to be expelled from the clan, many clan members immediately waited to avenge their daughter and seek justice.]
[Yue Xiang'er wanted to enter the palace to hide and pursue a career.]
【Wow,】 Qian Qian shook his head, 【What a femme fatale.】
The queen narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and called Luqiao over, and whispered, "Send someone to investigate. This Yuexiang'er cannot be kept, she can die of illness. If there are other things in her family, deal with them cleanly."
"Yes."
Luqiao lowered her eyes and went out to pass on the message.
【Any more? 】
[Yes, Cui Yingyue, Tan Zhiqiu, and Jiang Ruoyu. On the surface, these three people have no connection at all. ]
[But in fact, these three people are staunch defenders of patriarchy. ]
[They and their families firmly practice the idea of male superiority and female inferiority. ]
[Although these three girls are less than sixteen years old, they have already helped their stepmother deal with concubines. ]
【Ah?】 Qian Qian was surprised, 【In a big family, would an unmarried daughter be allowed to come into contact with these things?】
The system was very disdainful, [Why else would it be said that these three families were very successful in education? They taught their daughters the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since they were young. ]
【At the same time, they were told that even after getting married, their parents’ family should be their primary concern.】
[As long as someone harms the interests of my mother's family, I will protect her even if I have to do whatever it takes.]
Qian Qian frowned, [This really is a training camp for evildoers. ]
[Yes, little princess, these three families must be dealt with as soon as possible. After this year, many female officials will enter the court.]
[Most of these female officials this year started from the bottom.]
[These three families joined forces with their in-laws and used their connections to secretly suppress the female officials.]
[They even sent people to drug female officials and humiliate them.]
[Thus, they threw dirty water on all female officials and spread obscene rumors.]
[The women of the Cui, Tan, and Jiang families spared no effort to slander female officials and question the female imperial examination system.]
[Although your father and mother intervened early, many talented women were also harmed. ]
【well. 】
The system sighed.
Qian Qian frowned and pointed his chubby little finger at Cui Yingyue, Tan Zhiqiu and Jiang Ruoyu, "Mother, these three are not good, not good," and then pointed at Yue Xianger, "Check, check."
The queen took the money into her arms and ordered with a smile, "Come here, check according to what the princess said."
Her voice was doting and had no intimidating power. It sounded like she was trying to please the little princess.
Therefore, the few people who were pointed out by Qian Qian did not take the matter seriously at all, let alone take a little girl who was less than three years old seriously.
Until they came to the end of their lives and their families were tried for various crimes, that is a story for later.
[Tongzi,] Qianqian continued to ask while nestling in her mother's arms, [What about the others?]
[Little Princess,] The system was very happy, [Your father is very capable, and the remaining girls are all career-minded.]
[Moreover, many of them came here just for your mother.]
[Rather than being your father's concubines, it would be more appropriate to say that they came to the palace to be your mother's harem. ]
Emperor Mingde...
He looked at those honest girls with a sinister look.
Well, they all look pretty good.
But, there is still a long way to go for him, so there is no need to be afraid!
When new people entered the palace, the empress was naturally not polite and arranged tasks suitable for each of them. Emperor Mingde was temporarily relieved.
In this way, some court officials could be content for a while.
In late March, the imperial examination for women officially began.
The Emperor and Empress, along with Qian Qian and Sister Hua, came to the outside of the examination hall dressed in low-key cotton clothes and sitting in an even more low-key carriage.
Because Erdan was too big, we didn't take him out this time.
As soon as I arrived at the examination room, I heard a few men talking loudly.
"Oh, how shameless."
A man shouted, "The imperial examination for women is already unorthodox, and these peasant girls are doing seductive things without clothes on. They are so lowly."
"That's right, shameless..."
