Chapter 844 The Excitement of Being an Old Mother

After the Qionglin banquet, all the new Jinshi received official positions.

They quickly took up their posts in the yamen of the six ministries, and some were released to state capitals or garrison camps.

This is the second spring after the implementation of the New Deal and the reform of the imperial examination system. The female Confucianism is even more eye-catching than the first.

A total of three female Confucian scholars, including Lu Banruo, became Jinshi in the literary examination, and they went to Menxia Province, Yushitai and Hanlin Academy respectively.

In the martial arts test, two female Jinshi went to the Xuanwu Army and Qianlongwei.

After the release of the list, it caused a lot of criticism, all of them were not optimistic about female officials, and there were also many unsavory rumors spread by rumors.

Jing Zhao Yin's mansion arrested a few rascals who talked nonsense, and Chen Yue made a point of talking about it in the early court.

She also deliberately asked Fu Yin to lead these criminals past the platform of the Yizheng Hall, and made side-stepping remarks to the courtiers.

In May, the rumors gradually stopped, and the female officials were also exceptionally good in their respective government offices.

Chenyue read the memorials and documents of official performance appraisal submitted by the government office, and told Tang Bi:
"You don't need to circle the official discipline assessment of female officials, just announce it like normal officials."

"However, the rewards from your subordinates are too perfunctory. Prepare men's sachet quiver jade pendants for women."

"Other yamen must have followed suit. Maybe they will give something else. You, the servant, should be punished."

Tang Bi hurriedly saluted: "Yes, I know my mistake."

Chen Yue waved her hand casually: "But it's not all your fault."

"It's the first time for a woman to be an official. If you are on a job, you should pay attention to your daily life in addition to restraining your subordinates."

"I understand."

Chen Yue read a few more memorials, sorted out some and sent someone to the imperial study to Feng Hanchu:
"In the future, except for coastal defense and armaments, other memorials should be read by the Supreme Emperor."

Tang Biti paused his pen hand: "Has Your Majesty decided to abdicate?"

Chen Yue nodded: "Yes, in June, I will be preparing for the wedding ceremony, and the affairs of the government may not be taken care of."

"The Supreme Emperor will ascend the throne soon, and getting familiar with court affairs earlier will not cause less trouble."

Tang Bi smiled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist the Supreme Emperor."

Chen Yue said with a smile: "Then there will be Brother Lao Tangbi."

"I dare not."

Tang Bi took another list: "These are His Majesty's former retainers. Now His Majesty's wedding is coming soon, and about 20 people have left."

"There are still 43 people who are willing to continue to follow the Supreme Emperor, and the remaining 30 people went to Chongwenguan and Gongxue respectively."

Chen Yue looked at the list and said to Tang Bi: "Whether you leave or stay, you must be treated equally."

"They followed me and implemented the New Deal to reform the armaments. They have been born and died for so many years, so they should not be treated lightly."

"Yes."

Tang Bi asked again: "Your Majesty will marry without counselors and followers?"

Chen Yue shook her head: "When I go to the extreme northern land, I will cultivate my own power."

"No matter how much they submit to me, they are Liang people after all. When it comes to the extreme northern land, it is a hidden danger for me and them."

Therefore, the female officers she selected to accompany her were only Tu Shanyun and Qian Shuang, even Tu Shanyun was still raised in the black market.

Xiaobai often came to tell her how Tu Shanyun's spiritual consciousness was raised today, and his arms and legs would be transformed tomorrow.

On the day when Tang Jiao and Yu Ji brought their wedding dresses, Xiaobai brought He Baibai to bring Tu Shanyun's Ghost Pearl.

"Big beauty glutinous rice balls—"

Xiaobai pressed the fluttering crane Baibai, and put the ghost pearl flowerpot on Chenyue's desk:

"According to my counting, there are still three days, not four days, and not two days. She will be born soon."

"You are going to deliver her with your own hands, are you happy, are you happy?"

Chenyue raised her brows: "...Senior Sister Xiaoyun, she can actually hear everything."

Xiaobai coughed twice: "Oh, I want to ease the tension."

"You've raised her with spells and spiritual power for so long, and once the shell breaks out, don't you feel the excitement of being an old mother?"

Chen Yue: "..."

Why does this sound so strange?
Ghost Pearl moved the leaves twice, and slapped Xiao Bai on the face.

Although Xiaobai couldn't feel it, she was still very wronged:
"Everyone has been together for so long, how can I be considered your godmother, how can there be any reason for a big girl to beat her up all day long?"

Chenyue touched the leaves of the ghost pearl soothingly, and poked the jasper flute in the water smoothly:
"Senior Sister Xiaoyun, don't be angry, I would beat her up too."

Ghost Pearl stretched the leaves happily, and wrapped her fingers carefully.

"His Majesty--"

Chen Yue's eyes widened suddenly: "Hey, Senior Sister Xiaoyun, can you talk now?"

Ghost Pearl shook the leaves twice, then drooped down, looking very sad.

Xiaobai lay on He Baibai's body, danced and gestured:
"She is at the critical moment of her health, she can't speak, why don't you look outside?"

The palace servants were kneeling outside, laughing so hard that their teeth could not see their eyes, seeing Chen Yue looking over, they hurriedly said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Shark Demon and His Royal Highness Tang Jiao are here to present their wedding clothes."

Chen Yue jumped up when she heard it, but then she pretended to be very reserved, and walked out slowly with her hands behind her back:

"Well, let me take a look."

At the beginning, he still walked step by step, but he flew all the way out of the palace gate, and almost couldn't stop in front of Tang Jiao and Yu Ji.

She looked at a line, three or forty people carrying six large boxes, her eyes were straight:

"Are these all wedding dresses?"

Tang Jiao saluted and said with a smile, "It's just a set, let your Majesty try it first."

"If something doesn't fit, I'll fix it later and send it back. Emperor Zun's happy clothes have already been sent."

The corners of Chenyue's mouth were raised high, then forced to be flat, and finally she couldn't hold back her giggles:
"Try it now."

Tang Jiao couldn't restrain the joy in her heart, she waved her hands and ordered people to move faster: "Yes."

In Chenyue Hall, more than a dozen palace people surrounded Chenyue, supported her arm, and helped her put on the wedding dress.

One said: "Is this sleeve an inch longer, and it is pressing on the back of His Majesty's hand?"

Another said: "The flying shoulders are a few points higher, and there are golden tassels on your majesty's phoenix crown, which will catch the pearls on it."

Another court lady blushed: "Your Majesty's heart is tight again, add two inches, otherwise it will be too abrupt."

The one next to him also said: "The phoenix feather can't hang the dragon ball on the belt anymore, so I have to put two inches in."

The four maids in the back spread out the skirts of Xifu.

Even though it was getting late, the fiery red phoenix feathers were still as hot as a flame in the twilight, dazzling everyone's eyes.

"This wedding dress is really pretty."

Empress Dowager Yu came in with the palace servants, and walked around Chenyue twice with a smile on her face. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it:

"Only His Majesty can hold back such a happy dress. I can only imagine how amazing Emperor Zun was when he saw His Majesty."
