Female supremacy: The evil woman only wants to ascend the throne

As soon as Wan Qingyan entered the front hall, he heard a commotion outside the government office, mixed with the loud cries of vendors and the innocent laughter and play of children...

These voices were like a ray of warm sunshine that penetrated the clouds and fell into her heart, making her originally heavy mood involuntarily relaxed!

She walked to the yamen gate unconsciously, and her eyes passed through the open door and looked at the bustling street outside.

The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and bustling with activity! Stalls of various small vendors were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, offering a dazzling array of goods, leaving one dazzled.

The breakfast shops on the street are particularly tempting. The buns in the steamer emit bursts of fragrance, and the hot air from the steamer rises into the sky, as if adding a strong smell of fireworks to the entire block!

The children were playing happily in the streets, their laughter as clear and sweet as silver bells, echoing throughout the streets and alleys!

These scenes full of vitality and vigor made Wan Qingyan feel a little relieved. Her disaster relief plan was beginning to show results!

"I, your Highness, respectfully greet you!"

A woman in plain clothes saw Wan Qingyan from afar, with an expression of irrepressible excitement and excitement on her face. She quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed and greeted Wan Qingyan.

"Hello, too! Have you had breakfast today? Where are you going so early?"

Wan Qingyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a friendly smile, and responded to this ordinary woman in a gentle tone.

She has always been kind and amiable to ordinary people.

"Your Highness, if you hadn't come to Qingzhou, we disaster victims would have starved to death on the streets! Do you still remember what happened in the porridge stall?

At that time, you punished those who embezzled the relief food, so that we, the victims, could have a mouthful of hot porridge! Without you, we, the victims, would have starved to death on the streets long ago, and there would be no place like today!

Not only that, you also provide us with job opportunities so that we can earn money to support our families through our own labor. I am now working in Cui's restaurant!

Without your order, those wealthy businessmen would never have hired us disaster victims, let alone paid us wages. You have been so kind to us disaster victims, and we will never forget it!"

As the woman spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed with a "thump", her eyes moist and she choked with sobs.

"Oh, get up quickly! There's no need for such a grand ceremony. I was originally sent by the Empress to provide disaster relief. This is all part of my job, so there's no need to worry so much. You should be grateful to the Empress. She's the one who always keeps the disaster victims in mind. Everything I do is at the Empress's behest!"

Wan Qingyan hurried down the stairs and reached out to help the woman up with a smile on his face.

However, she deliberately spoke very loudly, as if she was afraid that others could not hear her. She did this for her own purpose - she had to put all the credit for disaster relief on the shoulders of the empress.

Because even if she didn't say it was her own credit, the disaster victims in Qingzhou all knew who was the one who really paid for them!

The Empress must be aware of her achievements in disaster relief! The Empress will gain a good reputation, and she will gain tangible benefits!

The conversation between the two was heard clearly by many people on the street, and their eyes were full of gratitude and respect when they looked at Wan Qingyan.

They knew that if Wan Qingyan had not come, they would probably still be struggling with hunger and poverty.

Now, they can finally have a full meal and wear decent clothes, all thanks to Wan Qingyan's efforts.

"Your Highness, I am deeply grateful to both you and the Empress. I have no way of repaying you!"

With the help of Wan Qingyan, the woman stood up straight, bowed respectfully and said.

Wan Qingyan was about to reply when he caught a glimpse of a little girl jumping towards him like a happy little deer, holding a candied haws in her hand.

The little girl threw herself into the woman's arms and said with a smile, "Mom, this candied haws is so sweet, you should try it too!"

"Why don't you bow and greet His Highness? Didn't I teach you before? Bow quickly!"

The woman smiled awkwardly, grabbed the girl's collar, and motioned her to quickly bow and greet.

"No need to bow, your daughter is adorable. Since she loves candied haws so much, let her eat as much as she wants!"

Wan Qingyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, reached out and gently touched the little girl's head, then took out ten taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the woman's hand as if by magic.

"Your Highness, how can this be done? I am not here for the silver. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I will not accept gifts without merit. Please take it back!"

When the woman saw the ten taels of silver, she was immediately frightened like a frightened rabbit. She was afraid that Wan Qingyan would misunderstand her motives. Although the ten taels of silver were equivalent to her half-year salary, she refused to accept it no matter what!

"Don't refuse. This is my order. Are you going to disobey? Hurry up and take it away! I have something to do too, so I'll go first!"

Wan Qingyan deliberately frowned and pretended to be very serious. He asked the woman to accept the ten taels of silver, then turned around and strode up the steps back to the yamen.

She had just left for a while when she heard Li Guoan muttering and cursing.

"What are you doing? Who told you to stand at the gate of the government office? Go away, go away..."

When Wan Qingyan heard this, her face instantly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. She quickly walked to the gate of the yamen and saw Li Guoan insulting the mother and daughter with contempt on his face.

"Master Li, you forgot to brush your teeth before you went out. Why are you talking so foul-mouthed? Come in quickly and don't embarrass yourself out there!"

Wan Qingyan did not give Li Guoan face in public, making her lose face, and at the same time he signaled with his eyes that the mother and daughter should leave quickly!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Guoan felt ashamed, as if her face had been thrown into the sky. At the same time, she also heard the anger in Wan Qingyan's tone like a volcanic eruption. She hurriedly lowered her head and walked quickly into the yamen.

"Lord Li, you are the father and mother of the people of Qingzhou. How can you treat them so coldly? I don't care what tricks you play behind my back, but in front of me, please play the role of a father and mother. Do you understand?"

Wan Qingyan glared at Li Guoan fiercely, his eyes like a sharp sword, piercing straight at her, and at the same time warned her that this was the first and last time.

"I know I was wrong and will never do that again. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Li Guoan took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and made an earnest promise.

"I don't want to waste time arguing with you about this. Business is more important. Take out the letter you want to send to the princess!"
