Yuqin shook her head sadly, "Of course I said it. I told them that since I have been in the palace all these years and I have never had a son or a daughter, I am satisfied that the emperor can enter my concubine, and they should be even more satisfied! In the future, the emperor will definitely give an explanation."

"It's a pity that my father is unwilling to wait any longer. He said that I am over thirty this year, and he is now in his sixtieth year. He is afraid that he will not be able to wait any longer."

Yuqin raised her eyes and stared at Wanxi helplessly, "My father, he insists that he wants to donate an official!"
.
Wanxi couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this.

Donating officials, in simple terms, is a way for scholars and people to get official positions from the court by donating property.

This method is parallel to the imperial examination system and complements each other.For other scholars and civilians who have not passed the imperial examination, they provide a way to enter the court and become officials.

This method has existed since ancient times.From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, it has been established as a system in the Western Han Dynasty.

After all, in this world, most people haven't studied for so many years, so they can't get a background in imperial examinations.There are also many well-educated people who failed to get points from the imperial examination, and this system has taken more care of these people.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were quite a few famous officials who were born as officials.For example, Li Wei in the Yongzheng Dynasty was a famous official of his generation.

It's just that donating officials involves money after all, and it's inevitable that people will feel uneasy during the operation process, so Wanxi also frowned a little.

But at this moment, Zi Wanxi can only comfort Yuqin, "My sister's family is a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River. The family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and the family wealth has not declined. If Uncle Lu has this spare money in his hand, he will donate an official position for himself. Why not?"

"After all, throughout the ages, donations have been an open system of the imperial court. It is not a private sale of officials or nobles, or donations of property. It is only given to officials after the imperial court examines whether the person is available. My sister does not need to be extra careful."
.
Yuqin stomped her feet anxiously.

"Wanxi, my Lu family is also the home of great Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that I want to spend money to buy an official, what do you think my Lu family's face will be?"

"Besides, I am a concubine in the harem anyway, but they want to donate an official to do it. Doesn't it mean that the former ministers should know that I am not favored? Aren't they slapping me in the face again?"

What Yuqin said was naturally correct, if it was Wanxi herself, thinking of her family members like this, her heart would be cold.

Wanxi tried her best to smile, "Sister has been in the palace for so many years, even though she is her own flesh and blood, it is inevitable that her birth will be a little bit different. I don't know what they think, and I can't control them."

"Since that's the case, my sister might as well think about things better."

"Think about it?" Yuqin smiled wryly, "I can't stop this matter, what else can I do?"

Wanxi tilted her head, reflecting the early spring sunshine in the south of the Yangtze River, smiling lightly.

"Yes, I have!"

Yuqin hesitated, but a glimmer of hope finally appeared in her eyes.

Wanxi understands Yuqin's mood.They are all in the harem, but their mother's family can't rely on them; but Wanxi's father and brother are both under the flag, and both have official positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Yuqin is even more lonely.

Even so, I always hope that I can bring some hope to my mother's family, at least I don't want anything to happen to my mother's family.

Wanxi laughed, "Sister said, the Lu family has a deep foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, and has been a great Confucianist for generations. Why did no one become an official after the Qing Dynasty was established?"

"The last time we followed the emperor on a tour to the south, we saw with our own eyes that the emperor opened Enke in the south of the Yangtze River, increasing the number of candidates, and trying our best to attract the officials from the south of the Yangtze River to become officials... If my sister's mother's family is willing, how can we return?" To this day, there is no official position?"
