Fourteen has been fighting abroad for more than half a year and has always had sufficient military supplies. This time, he received news that all the Japanese pirates around the coast of the Qing Dynasty have been wiped out. He is asking the emperor for permission to annihilate them in one fell swoop and go directly to the Japanese island.

Yinzhen replied with only one word: OK.

After hearing this great news, Changning was so happy that he wanted to eat two more bowls of rice.

Changning has been so busy with the female official system recently that she hasn't had a rest for a long time. She stays in Yinzhen's arms at night and refuses to move.

Yinzhen tidied her hair lovingly and ordered someone to prepare a richer dinner for tonight.

"How's it going? Have you come up with a set of rules?"

Chang Ning was very happy when talking about the results: "Of course, I will issue an order tomorrow to have all palaces and offices count the personnel and keep only those who are within the quota. The rest will be cleared out first. As for those who have embezzled and abused their power before, they will be dealt with regardless of their background. The mess of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years should be settled."

Yinzhen watched Changning becoming more and more like the high-spirited person he was in the past, and could not help but nod secretly. The Queen must not only have the confidence of coming from a large family, but also have a long-term vision and the will to not fear wind and snow. Only then can she stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

He originally thought that Yaoxian loved to eat and play, and was a little spoiled. It didn't matter even if she couldn't take on the responsibility. He could always protect her and not let the wind and rain disturb her.

But Yaoxian has never been a dependent dodder, she has thorns and brambles.

Even though her temperament is as outstanding as that of the lily of the valley, she still has her pride.

She is his virtuous wife, the mother of the entire Qing Dynasty, and not just his woman.

Changning went on to talk about his plan.

"Female officials belong to the management level, and we will first select competent ones from among the palace maids. Some maids have already been familiar with their duties and have some power, so they will be promoted together this time.

In May, an order was issued to select women from the public, and those women who were literate, healthy, good-looking, and had other outstanding talents would be chosen.

As for the rest, if there are women from official families or royal families who wish to enter the palace, they can also do so.”

Hearing that Changning had thought it through carefully and attentively, Yinzhen hugged her and praised her repeatedly, and coaxed her to have some food.

"You've been very busy lately. You're living in the Yangxin Palace, but you seem to be getting more and more tired. Did we bother you by talking about something up front?"

Yinzhen felt a little distressed when he saw that her eyes were slightly blue. He thought that when they discussed state affairs tomorrow, he must ask those loud voices to lower their voices.

Changning drank another bowl of bamboo fungus chicken soup and discussed with him: "No, it's just that summer is coming soon, I don't have much appetite, and I always feel mosquitoes at night, so I can't sleep well."

Yinzhen knew that she was most afraid of heat and had a special physique, which somehow attracted mosquitoes. When they slept together, he didn't get a single bite, but she could get bitten seven or eight times, which made Yinzhen feel helpless and amused. He quickly ordered the Imperial Hospital to prepare some ointment and sachets containing insect repellent and mosquito repellent.

Changning felt good when he got these sachets, and thought of his own children. He estimated that their blood type was inherited from his. Every summer, if they were not watched carefully, they would get a lot of red and swollen mosquito bites every time they went out. Now that he saw that the mosquito repellent sachets were effective, he asked people to make some more and send them to the South Third Institute.

Speaking of Nansanso, Changning slapped his forehead and said, "I said that I have been busy lately and I seem to have forgotten something. He also said that he wanted Yierha and Fashan to meet, and Hutuli and Hongyan also wanted to leave the palace to congratulate Duoxihui."

Yinzhen picked up a piece of assorted dumplings for her and said, "What's the rush? Hutuli and Hongyan are old. It's no big deal to give them a token and let the guards follow them. It's no big deal to go out of the palace. Eagles on the grassland have to go through wind and rain, not to mention they are people who want to do great things.

As for Yi Erha, you don't have to worry about it. It's just a meeting. The palace is in a mess right now. We need to clear out people, deal with them, promote people, and select people. It's so busy and chaotic. Don't make things complicated at this critical moment. When everything is done, let's pick a day for them to meet."

Changning thought so too. There should have been some rumors recently, but she had been living in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and the people in the imperial court kept their mouths shut, so the news was kept secret.

When the decree is issued tomorrow, it is not certain what the palace servants will do.

At this critical juncture, with the storm brewing, it would be better to ask Yierha to put this matter aside for a while and inform Concubine Mao tomorrow.

However, she thought again that those people who were to be purged in the Ministry of Internal Affairs might become desperate or resort to unscrupulous means. She was being protected in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and those people had no choice but to go looking for the children or Nanny Zhang who stayed behind in Chengqian Palace.

Changning didn't want them to get involved, so she discussed with Yinzhen that she had to go back to Chengqian Palace to live and take charge, so as to prevent those people from making a fuss and causing unrest in the six palaces.

Yinzhen saw that her smile, which had always been bright, now showed a bit of coldness.

"I haven't shown my power for a long time since entering the palace. I want to see if there are any stubborn people who want to rush me head-on."

Changning must know that governing the harem requires a combination of leniency and strictness. In the more than a year since she entered the palace, she has been much more lenient. After all, from top to bottom, no one dares to disobey her.

Probably because they came from the Qing Dynasty, had a family background, children, and favor. In other words, they were afraid of things attached to them, not themselves.

This is a good opportunity to let them see whether Fu Cha Changning is someone who can be easily messed with.

Yinzhen knew what she meant and naturally would not stop her, but he was more or less worried in his heart, so he finally let Zhang Qilin stay by her side and serve her.

"Zhang Qilin is a man in the imperial court. Why are you sending me there?" Changning asked knowingly, but she felt that it was totally unnecessary. Could it be that Yinzhen didn't know his own fighting ability?

Of course Yinzhen knew that she was very fierce, a Siberian tiger woman, who could compare to her.

But he couldn't help but want to add an extra layer of protection for her. Although he went to Chengqian Palace every night, Su Peisheng also had many people protecting Chengqian Palace openly and secretly.

He smiled and said, "Let him serve you for a while, and then call him back after this period. It's not that I don't want to let him go, but you have Zhao Fuhai, and it's not good for them to fight among themselves, otherwise it will hurt your people."

Changning curled her lips, but didn't refuse in the end.

The group of people escorted the emperor and the empress back to Chengqian Palace in a grand manner.

Zhang Qilin followed behind with his back bent, and when he came out, he saw Zhao Fuhai with a forced smile on his face.

He was still stunned and rolled his eyes: "I say, Lao Zhao, we have been in contact for eight or nine years. You were always respectful to me before, but now your skin is so tight!"
