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

Indeed, Zhao Zhuoxi did not want to interfere in the private affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo, especially since Jiang Jiu had said that, it was even more inconvenient for him to intervene.

But Zhao Zhuoxi was a little surprised that Master Yiyun actually spoke for a maid.

"Among these maids, Yunshu is the smartest. Why not..."

"No."

Before Zhao Zhuoxi could finish his words, he heard Master Yiyun shouting.

Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Master Yiyun deeply and sighed.

"Lu Ming and Nishang, Xiao Yimo and Chuyu, Gu Yancheng and Mudan, and now you and Yunshu. How come you are all in pairs? Why is it so difficult for me and her?"

After saying that, Zhao Zhuoxi stood up angrily and went to find Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu was looking at the lists submitted by various local governments.

The lists are easy to compare according to the table she gave.

There are juren and xiucai in every place. Jiang Jiu wants to set up a free school, so he has to select teachers.

The place has been found, the school has been renovated, and the list of teachers has been selected.

Local authorities would prepare the list, teachers' resumes, ages, etc. and submit them. If there were no problems, they could start recruiting students after the results were announced.

Jiang Jiu looked at the teachers one by one. Some were older and some were younger. The youngest was a scholar, and many of them were from poor families in the local area.

Jiang Jiu was still very satisfied and asked Yun Shu to put the files away. Then he saw Zhao Zhuoxi walking over with a sullen face and angrily.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy?"

Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly hugged Jiang Jiu's waist and buried his head in her shoulder, feeling depressed.

"Lian Yiyun already has a sweetheart, when are we going to get married?"

So that’s how it is. Jiang Jiu smiled speechlessly.

"Everything else can be changed, but this one cannot. Filial piety is the most important virtue, and Yao Qin's mother hasn't even been alive for three years."

Zhao Zhuoxi rubbed Jiang Jiu in his arms: "But I miss you, and he misses you too..."

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but frown: "Why are you like a child..."

"If you continue like this, I will move out of the palace and go to keep vigil for my mother."

"No, don't leave me." Zhao Zhuoxi couldn't bear to leave Jiang Jiu.

"Forget it, I can bear it. Let's hold Yiyun's wedding first."

Lu Ming and Nishang’s wedding had already taken place.

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that Mr. Yiyun, who looked like Pan An, would actually fall in love one day.

"Okay, he's yours, you go and take care of this."

Zhao Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows proudly: "But he is marrying your person, you have to participate."

Jiang Jiu asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

"Yunshu..." Zhao Zhuoxi sat steadily beside Jiang Jiu and put his arms around her waist.

Jiang Jiu was just surprised and didn't pay much attention. When she heard it was Yun Shu, she became unhappy.

"Ah, I finally have a capable assistant by my side, why is she getting married? No, I can't bear to let her go."

Zhao Zhuoxi had no choice but to coax her: "Even if we get married, I will stay in the palace to accompany you, and Yiyun will also..."

However, Jiang Jiu always felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, she looked at Zhao Zhuoxi and blinked, then blinked again: "Isn't Master Yiyun inhumane? How, how did they get married?"

When Zhao Zhuoxi heard this, he burst into laughter.

"How is that possible? Why are you saying people are inhumane? He can do it. Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Jiu also laughed, thinking that Yiyun was fooling people at the beginning, and he was too handsome, so no one would say anything even if he became a eunuch.

In the blink of an eye, the imperial examination was over. Some students passed, while others failed.

In previous years, students who passed the imperial examinations stayed in the capital to look for opportunities and obtain official positions.

The students who failed the exam left the capital one after another and waited until the next year to take the exam again.

However, this year, both those who made the list and those who didn’t stayed.

Zhao Zhuoxi made drastic changes to the government, recruited many new people, and even boldly employed children from poor families.

Those who pass the list no longer need to find anyone, they can just go to the Ministry of Personnel and wait for arrangements.

As for those who didn’t make the list, they actually surrounded the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo did not go to the palace this time, but actually received everyone seriously.

Yao Shirong registered everyone who came, including their place of origin, age, and name.

Then the list was given to Jiang Jiu, who compared it with the list submitted by the local authorities. As long as they matched, they would be recruited as appropriate.

After six months of hard work, Jiang Jiu’s free school was finally established.

Children from both the capital and other places can go to school.

Of course, it is not absolute. In some places, parents still do not send their children to school, and in some places, officials will not really beat parents. After all, there are special circumstances for everything.

In any case, twenty years later, this incident was indeed a good thing for Daning.

After Zhao Zhuoxi abdicated and his son ascended the throne, Daning ushered in a prosperous era, and he made his son the emperor who maintained the status quo.

It’s the end of the year again, and the winter snow falls one after another.

Jiang Jiu finally got tired of watching the heavy snow. He curled up in bed that morning, feeling warm and not wanting to get up.

"Are you sick? Please ask the imperial physician to come and see."

Zhao Zhuoxi came down from the morning court and came to have dinner with Jiang Jiu, but found that she was still not awake.

Jiang Jiu was feeling lazy and holding his belly.

"My period is here, and I don't want to move. By the way, Chu Yu's baby is almost a hundred days old. Have you given the gift I asked you to give?"

Zhao Zhuoxi touched her forehead, which was icy cold.

"I gave it to her a long time ago. She still needs our things. I wrote a letter to Xiao Yimo and asked him to give me a copy of the portraits of his son and daughter. This guy is so lucky to have both a son and a daughter at once."

Chu Yu was pregnant with twins, and she had been running around with Jiang Jiu during the early stages of her pregnancy.

Later on, her belly gradually grew bigger. In fact, Chu Yu had already diagnosed the baby with twins from her pulse, but she didn't tell Xiao Yimo until she was about to give birth.

Xiao Yimo was almost scared to death.

Later, Xiao Yimo wrote in a letter to Zhao Zhuoxi that he had never been so nervous in his life. He stayed with Chu Yu for a whole day and night while she gave birth. He didn't eat and was even nervous when going to the toilet.

What he didn't say was that after Chu Yu was born, Xiao Yimo was told by the midwife that the mother, child and daughter were all safe. He was so excited that he fainted.

However, Chu Yu mentioned it in the letter to Jiang Jiu, which made Jiang Jiu laugh for several days.

These two people have been with Jiang Jiu since the beginning, so it's no wonder that Jiang Jiu is thinking about them.

"Your stomach hurts. Let me rub it for you." Zhao Zhuoxi lay sideways beside Jiang Jiu, rubbed his palms hard to warm them up, and placed them on Jiang Jiu's lower abdomen.

It is indeed much more comfortable.

The imperial physician came, but didn't say anything and didn't prescribe any medicine. He just asked Jiang Jiu to wrap a hot stone in a towel and place it on his lower abdomen.

Or you can use moxibustion on your lower abdomen.

The imperial physician left, and Zhao Zhuoxi continued to hold Jiang Jiu's stomach.

"You...you move aside a little, it's too heavy..." Jiang Jiu pushed Zhao Zhuoxi but found that he couldn't move him at all.

"No." Zhao Zhuoxi refused directly, lowered his head slightly, and kissed Jiang Jiu's forehead with his thin lips...
