The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

The news that the eldest young lady of the Wang family had divorced and returned home spread quickly among the aristocratic families in the capital like a whirlwind.

As soon as Jiang Lingyue got the news, she left the palace and went to Xie's house in person, risking the seven-day expiration of the last detoxification pill.

The once prominent Xie family has not been mentioned for a long time. Now it reappears in front of the world because its last bloodline has divorced its husband.

The rumors are evident.

Jiang Lingyue left the palace this time mainly to support Xie Anning and her daughter, and to intimidate the scoundrels outside who kept pointing fingers at her, so she did not travel in a simple carriage, but used the formal ceremonial guards of an imperial concubine.

The momentum was so great that it let people know that even though there were only mother and daughter left in the Xie family, they were still valued by the royal family.

The Xie family mansion is located in the north city where dignitaries gather, and all the neighbors are from prominent families.

The imperial carriage slowly stopped on the wide street.

Xie Anning and her daughter greeted them personally at the door.

The vermilion main gate was wide open, and Jiang Lingyue stepped into the Xie family under the supervision of the doormen from various mansions.

Although there were servants taking care of the garden in the backyard of the Xie Mansion, it did not look overgrown and withered, but the house, which had been without an owner for a long time, always had a somewhat desolate look.

Xie Anning returned home last night, bringing only her dowry and the deeds to her land and shops, as well as some gold, silver and other valuables. Even the tea served to the guests was stale.

She dismissed the maid who brought her tea and said shamefacedly, "The house is not yet tidy, and many things are not prepared. I have neglected Your Majesty."

"That's not true," Jiang Lingyue said with a smile, "Others may not know, but don't you know, Auntie? In the past, I was lucky to have tea to drink. I'm not a picky person."

While her master was talking, Nanny Qian behind her took out a silver needle, inserted it into the tea, and waited for a few breaths before retreating.

During this period, because Xiaoxiang Library was under construction, Jiang Lingyue, as the highest decision-maker, often left the palace to visit the site to check the progress.

His Majesty the Emperor did not object to this, but quietly increased her guards by 30%.

The accompanying entourage were several times more cautious than before.

Since leaving the palace, Jiang Lingyue's eyes have been on everything, including what her hands can touch and what her nose can smell, whether it is the prepared spices or the flowers and plants in the garden.

In short, every person, thing, and object that may pose a threat to her must be checked layer by layer before appearing in front of her.

Jiang Lingyue herself was used to such scenes and did not think that the Emperor was too nervous.

She is well aware of her current situation.

Even though she was the most favored in the harem before, the people she offended were only the concubines and their families.

However, since the implementation of women's colleges, her enemies have snowballed and multiplied.

Countless old-fashioned people believed that it was because of her that His Majesty the Emperor insisted on promoting women's education.

None of the men who can stand in the court and hold power are stupid. They all know that promoting women's education is only the first step.

Once the women's college is established and more and more women are enrolled in school, the second step will soon follow.

Those women will once again come to the court to compete with them for power.

As the "female leader" in their eyes, countless people hoped for her death.

Jiang Lingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip. Worried that the mother and daughter might overthink things, she explained with a smile, "Don't be offended, Aunt Xie. We've recently provoked public outrage, so this is just a precaution."

Hearing this, Xie An Ning shook his head slightly, "I saved it."

She had witnessed with her own eyes the stubbornness and cruelty of Mr. Wang, who claimed to be from a noble family, yet could even abandon his own granddaughter. The fuse was Xiaoxiang Library.

When Zhiwei saw this, she only needed to think about it for a moment to realize how dangerous Jiang Lingyue was as she fought her way through difficulties to find a way out for women all over the world.

Not to mention, Xiaoxiang Library is about to be completed. The inner court issued an imperial decree to all states and counties a few days ago, and the first batch of female students will be recruited in the early spring of next year.

By then, I'm afraid that some families around the capital who love their daughters will send their daughters to study in the capital.

I don’t know how many people will be upset.

The current calmness in the capital is like a spark hidden under the iceberg, which can spread like wildfire if we are not careful.

If the target is...

Xie An Ning's eyes showed worry, and she disagreed: "Your Majesty really shouldn't leave the palace so easily at this moment."

If something happened to the Imperial Concubine, it would not only hinder the promotion of girls' education.

Given the Emperor's love for her, I'm afraid that the entire court will be filled with heads rolling, and the land of Dahan will be littered with corpses.

Jiang Lingyue herself is also aware of this.

She put down her teacup and said innocently, "I rarely leave the palace, but I heard that Aunt Xie's divorce was successful. How can I still sit in the palace? Of course I have to come and congratulate you."

Divorce, congratulations...

I'm afraid that in the entire Dahan, she is the only one who can combine these two words together.

Nanny Qian, who was standing by, lowered her head a little.

Wang Wan, who prided herself on being a heretic, also had her lips twitching when she heard this.

Xie An Ning glanced at her silently and said angrily, "Look at what you said."

"There's no outsider here." Jiang Lingyue chuckled and observed the mother and daughter carefully.

I found that Aunt Xie behaved naturally, had a rosy complexion, and did not look like she was seriously shocked.

Wang Wan had some dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't get enough sleep last night.

This is understandable. After all, once a major change occurs, even the most carefree girl will be affected.

Jiang Lingyue straightened her expression and asked, "Aunt Xie and Wan'er, what are your plans for the future?"

"I just got home, and it's almost the end of the year. The most urgent thing is to renovate the house. As for the future..."

Xie An Ning smiled and said, "Wan'er wants to teach at Xiaoxiang Academy and be a female teacher. Your Majesty can test her and then decide whether to accept her."

"Oh?" Jiang Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Wang Wan was only fifteen years old, and only sixteen in the next year. She thought that even if she went to Xiaoxiang Library, she would just be a student.

I didn't expect that he had such great ambitions.

However, what Jiang Lingyue is more concerned about now is the possible twists and turns that may arise from Aunt Xie's divorce.

She smiled and praised him, then said, "Put the exam aside for now. I'll make all the arrangements next spring. I have other important matters to attend to right now."
