Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

Quan Jiuxi got on the sedan chair and drove towards the palace. On the way, he couldn't help but sigh that the original owner was indeed extremely favored. Even the carriage he used when going out was extremely luxurious, with carved beams and painted rafters, silk and satin, showing his honor.

When Quan Jiuxi arrived at the Empress's palace, Rong Zhu, a personal attendant, immediately came out to greet her. "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you in."

Quan Jiuxi nodded slightly and walked in with big strides.

When she looked up, she saw the original owner's parents in this world, the empress Quan Shumu of the female-dominated world.

He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a luxurious phoenix crown on his head. His face was majestic and dignified, his eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, his eyes were as cold as stars, and under his high nose bridge, his slightly pursed thin lips revealed unquestionable dignity and dominance.

My father Jiang Chen was wearing a light blue brocade robe. He had a graceful figure, a face like a peach blossom, eyebrows like a crescent moon, eyes as bright and charming as autumn water, a cherry-like mouth with a natural rouge, and skin as white as snow and as delicate as a baby's.

Her every move reveals her gentleness and grace. Although she is no longer in her prime, one can still tell that she must have been a stunningly beautiful woman in her youth.

He was the son of the Prime Minister, and had been childhood sweethearts with the Empress, sharing a deep bond. The original owner's status was unmatched in this world, unparalleled in its nobility.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother and Father." Quan Jiuxi bowed respectfully, and his voice was particularly clear in the huge palace.

Quan Shumu didn't say anything, but just patted Jiang Chen's hand, and the two of them sat down together peacefully.

Jiang Chen glanced at Quan Jiuxi worriedly, his eyes filled with worry and pity.

Quan Jiuxi bent over, like a stone sculpture.

The candlelight in the hall flickered, casting gloomy and uncertain expressions on everyone's faces.

After a long while, the Empress's voice came slowly, "Where were you last night?"

The voice echoed in the empty palace, like the cold wind in the cold night, full of majesty and coldness.

Quan Jiuxi knelt directly on the ground, his knees colliding with the cold ground, "Mother Queen, I was in a brothel last night."

Her voice was steady, without any strain.

"Be honest, is this what the Grand Tutor taught you? He let you, a princess of the current dynasty, go to such a filthy place?"

The empress asked seriously, her face gloomy, her eyebrows and eyes full of anger, her sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce through people.

"I know I was wrong, but I went there for the sake of my country and my people."

Quan Jiuxi said with a firm gaze, showing no intention of retreating, just like a winter plum standing tall in the wind and snow.

The Empress chuckled softly, her voice filled with sarcasm. "You're still trying to quibble now?"

Quan Jiuxi hurriedly said, "Mother, I have no intention of making excuses.

While in the brothel, I overheard a conspiracy between the Minister of Personnel and the Doctor of Revenue. This is a matter of great importance, and I must investigate further."

The Empress frowned slightly and said coldly, "Hmph, then tell me what you heard."

"Mother Queen, if you don't venture into the tiger's den, you will never get the tiger cub. How can we find out the truth and restore order to the court?"

At this time, Feng Jun said softly: "Your Majesty, Xi'er is so serious, I believe there is indeed something hidden this time. Why not listen to her detailed account."

The empress snorted coldly: "Forget it, Quan Jiuxi, tell me now."

"Mother, according to my investigation, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue are secretly colluding, intending to cheat in the imperial examinations, select their cronies to serve as officials, and disrupt the government."

The Empress's expression grew increasingly gloomy: "What evidence do you have?"

Quan Jiuxi took out the things Lin Yu gave him when he went out and presented them with both hands.

The female official immediately went to take it, her steps hurried, and her sleeves raised a breeze.

Seeing Quan Jiuxi's serious expression, the empress took it and looked through it.

The paper rustled in the empress's hands.

After a long while, the Empress threw it on the table with a "bang". "How dare you!"

This angry shout made the air in the palace seem to freeze.

The teacup on the table shook slightly, making a crisp clinking sound.

The surrounding palace servants immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

The voices were uniform and panic-stricken, echoing in the palace.

Quan Jiuxi said, "Queen Mother, please calm down."

"Amu, calm down." Feng Jun hurriedly comforted him, his voice soft and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing through willows. "Don't get angry and make yourself sick."

The empress waved her hand to Quan Jiuxi and said, "You should get up and have your meal first."

"Yes."

Quan Jiuxi stood up and sat down on the chair respectfully. She had smelled the food since she came in. It was so delicious that she felt even more hungry.

But she couldn't show too much anxiety and remained dignified.

"You did a good job on this matter. Tell me what reward you want."

The empress asked, her expression slightly relaxed, with a hint of approval in her eyes.

"For the sake of the people of Feng Nation, I, your son, have no choice but to do my duty."

Quan Jiuxi had a serious expression on his face, his eyes firm and clear.

The empress nodded appreciatively. "You have finally grown up. Come, I will reward you, Princess, with ten East Sea pearls, one hundred rolls of Western Region silk, one thousand taels of gold, and a volume of ancient books from my imperial study."

Quan Jiuxi suppressed the upward curve of his lips. He could not disobey the emperor's order, so he quickly stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Xi'er, you are eighteen now, it's time to get married." Jiang Chen picked up some food for Quan Jiuxi, his voice soft and gentle, like the chirping of an oriole.

"It's good to have someone caring to take care of you."

"Your father is right. When you come back from the spring hunt, I will ask Chen'er to prepare a banquet for you, and you can choose a few people." The empress took over the conversation with expectation in her eyes.

Quan Jiuxi couldn't swallow a single bite of meat. Not only did he want to choose a concubine, he also wanted several...

But now is not the time to refute. We can only wait and see how we deal with it.

She nodded in agreement with a perfect smile on her face.

"It all depends on the arrangements of the Queen Mother and the Lord Father."

The Queen and Feng Jun smiled at each other, their eyes full of relief and anticipation.

The dinner table fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of chewing and the clinking of cups and plates being heard.

Quan Jiuxi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, thinking about this sudden selection of concubines.

After a moment, the empress spoke, "Xi'er, regarding this imperial examination cheating incident, what are your subsequent plans?"

Quan Jiuxi put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously, "Mother, I believe that the most urgent task is to punish the officials involved in accordance with the law to restore order. At the same time, we need to review the imperial examination system and strengthen supervision to ensure fairness and justice."

The Empress nodded slightly, "Well, you need to handle this matter properly."

Quan Jiuxi replied, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

After the meal, Quan Jiuxi took his leave, but he was still worried about the selection of a concubine.
