Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Yao Shirong said, "Why don't you wait until the list comes out and see. There are some who can pass the imperial examination, but the court may not be able to arrange official positions for them. It would be better to send them directly to the school to teach. If they teach well, they can also be promised official positions such as the Hanlin Academy or the Imperial College."

Jiang Jiu had only a vague understanding of the imperial court's selection system, and also of the civil service positions such as the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy.

After hearing what Yao Shirong said, I felt that it made sense.

Jiang Jiu let Yao Shirong live in the palace. When spring came and flowers bloomed, the palace was full of exotic flowers and plants, some of which Jiang Jiu had never seen before.

Yao Shirong came, and Jiang Jiu had to accompany her father, which made things difficult for Emperor Zhao Zhuoxi.

Ever since Jiang Jiu entered the palace, Zhao Zhuoxi had always discussed matters with Jiang Jiu, whether it was the court or eating and sleeping.

Jiang Jiu is a modern person, and many of her views on the court are unique.

Zhao Zhuoxi would take her opinions into consideration, and there was no such thing as the harem being unable to participate in politics. Especially after Jiang Jiu's free school was opened, it immediately shut up all the court officials.

Sometimes, even in the court, Zhao Zhuoxi would let Jiang Jiu listen from the side.

As for everyday life, the two of them are like conjoined twins.

Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu were walking together in front.

Behind them, Yun Shu and Master Yiyun walked together, and the two looked like conjoined twins.

Sometimes even when eating, Zhao Zhuoxi would ask Jiang Jiu.

What to eat in the morning?

What to eat for lunch?

what's for dinner?

Originally in Sucheng, Zhao Zhuoxi ate two meals a day and did not eat at night.

Ever since I met Jiang Jiu, I have not had any bowel movements during my three meals a day.

Jiang Jiu doesn’t think ancient food is delicious, and he misses modern food more.

Hotpot and malatang are no longer a problem, and barbecue and other things are also often available.

Roast duck, spicy duck neck, five-spice chicken feet, all kinds of food, as long as Jiang Jiu thinks of it, he will always go to the kitchen to make it.

The imperial chef moved from the West Palace to the center, and later simply moved to the next door to Jiang Jiujiao's palace.

Just to have a hot meal.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't care about the rules in the palace, he just wanted to pamper Jiang Jiu.

After a long time, everyone in the palace understood.

The emperor's words are not as reliable as the princess's.

Gradually, Jiang Jiu had to be asked to handle everything. Sometimes Jiang Jiu was too lazy to do it, so Nanny Qian and Yun Shu became their messengers.

Nanny Qian had suffered grievances for more than ten years, but she never expected that after entering the palace for the rest of her life, she would become the superior person, second only to the emperor.

Yun Shu also jumped from a humble little palace maid to the respected Aunt Yun.

Whenever there is something happening in the palace, more people would look for them than Jiang Jiu.

The rules in the palace gradually became lax. When the rules were relaxed, no one was in charge, and with fewer people in the palace, accidents would occur.

Early that morning, Jiang Jiu finally saw Yao Shirong off and just breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zhuoxi came in with a look of resentment on his face.

"The same thing with the Duke of Zhenguo. He's not training his troops anymore? Is everything all right? He's actually hiding in the palace?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Those students came to see him, but he found it troublesome, so he went to the palace for a few days."

Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled, "How is that possible? Why would those students come to a military commander's mansion to seek an audience? 80% of the time, Princess Qingyue wanted to marry him, but he didn't agree, so he came to hide in the palace."

Jiang Jiu was shocked: "What? The Crown Prince's wife has only been dead for two years, how could someone want to marry him? What kind of person is this? If Yao Shirong really wants to get married, I despise him."

Zhao Zhuoxi laughed heartily: "He actually has no plans to marry again. It's just that some noble ladies and widows in the capital, seeing his high status now, are trying every possible means to marry him."

Jiang Jiu understood after thinking about it carefully. She was the future queen, and Yao Shirong, the Duke of Zhenguo, was the future father-in-law.

In addition, Zhao Zhuoxi has announced that there is only Jiang Jiu in the harem, and he is the emperor's only father-in-law.

They all want to get close to the emperor. How can they not be in a hurry to marry Yao Shirong? He is now a wealthy bachelor, like a piece of fat meat, surrounded by women of marriageable age in Beijing.

Jiang Jiu here just felt helpless.

"Let's see how long Yao Shirong can hold on."

Unexpectedly, Nanny Qian came to Jiang Jiu again to plead for him.

"Princess, it's true. Princess Qingyue is the daughter of your majesty's uncle, also a royal daughter. She lost her husband early in life and has been a widow for four or five years. Now she is a perfect match for the Duke."

Jiang Jiu held his forehead with his hand: "Mammy, my father has already taken refuge in the palace, so please stop causing trouble. Princess Qingyue has given you so many benefits, and you've already started to speak well of her?"

Nanny Qian didn't hide anything and smiled foolishly. She stretched out her arm and saw an emerald bracelet hanging on her wrist.

Even Jiang Jiu thought it was beautiful.

"This piece of jade is really good. Okay, since she has given us such a valuable gift, we can't let her down. Take me to ask her about my father's back problems and tell her that he's not very good at something. Is she willing to do that?"

Nanny Qian's face froze slightly. "No way, the Duke looks quite strong."

Jiang Jiu glanced at her with amusement: "Of course not. He is in good health. Apart from not being able to ride a horse or fight vigorously, he can still do ordinary things. But, if this gets out, won't people know what those people like about my father?"

Madam Qian thought about it carefully: "If you value status, then you naturally don't care whether he is a good person... If you value the person, then you must care a lot. If a man is not good enough, then what's the difference between him and a widow."

So, before long, rumors spread that the Duke of Zhenguo was incompetent.

The Duke Zhenguo's mansion became quiet, but the Duke Zhenguo's reputation plummeted.

However, Yao Shirong didn't care at all. He had a good relationship with the Crown Princess and had both a son and a daughter. He was happy and free, and didn't want to marry another woman and make his children unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuoxi found out about this and started laughing uncontrollably.

"Only she could come up with such a stupid idea. It's over. The Duke of Zhenguo is finished. He won't be able to find a wife."

Young Master Yiyun rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Your Majesty is truly a man who is full and does not know the hunger of a hungry man. Now that you have a wife, you don't care about others. Go and tell your subordinates that you still need to find a suitable wife for the Duke of Zhenguo."

"The princess still needs someone to rely on, but this Duke's wife must be truly kind to the princess and the young master."

Zhao Zhuoxi was slightly startled: "So, it seems you have a candidate?"

Master Yiyun waved his hands quickly and said, "I don't have it. It's Taohua, the maidservant beside the princess, who has it. I heard that Taozhi, the maidservant beside the young master, is a good person. She is really kind to the princess, the young master, and the Duke. She is smart and sensible. She is old and has not found a husband yet."

"Taohua said a long time ago that she seemed to have feelings for the Duke, but she was a slave and the Duke was the master, so it was not easy for her to curry favor with the master."

Zhao Zhuoxi thought for a moment and said, "It's really hard to say. Even if a servant has other thoughts, it's not enough for her to be the Duke's wife. Taohua is a good person, so I think she's not bad either. I remember when Taohua's body was brought back, she almost fainted from crying."

Master Yiyun nodded: "It's that maid."

Zhao Zhuoxi sighed: "No, no, if Yao Shirong was willing, he would have taken her into the room long ago. My hands can't reach that far, so forget it."
