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

Just do it.

Jiang Lingyue is also a decisive person.

As soon as the idea came to her mind, she didn't even wait to return to the palace. She immediately summoned Jin Yu and Jin Shu and ordered them, "Go to Pingning, Anyang, and Princess Duanhe's residence and ask if there are any good-looking, clean men to lend me a few."

As for whether it has been repaid or not, we will talk about it later.

Jin Yu and Jin Shu had already been granted the title of seventh-rank female official. Upon hearing this, they immediately bowed in agreement, each of them appointed two attendants, and left after receiving the order.

The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly and the snow has melted.

Jiang Lingyue glanced at the sky and said, "New Year's Eve will be in a few days. There will be a banquet in the palace. Aunt Xie, remember to bring Wan'er with you."

Others must know that even if Xie left the Wang family, she would still be a lady of an aristocratic family who could enter and leave the palace.

Xie Anning naturally agreed.

Jiang Lingyue thought for a moment and then asked, "Aunt Xie, do you have any thoughts about becoming a court lady?"

Since they had already divorced, the imperial edict bestowed upon Wang Shaofu became illicit.

Besides, since you plan to support your family as a woman, you should not continue to be trapped in the back house.

You should come out like a man.

Find your own position in every industry.

The Xie family is a family of military generals, and Xie Anning is an only daughter, so it is easy to imagine how huge the dowry was in the past.

She has no shortage of wealth and money, and has no interest in business.

Born into a family of officials and establishing a family, there is nothing better than being a female official.

But Xie An Ning looked hesitant. "Apart from handling some inner-house affairs, I don't know how to do anything else. How can I be qualified to be a female official? Your Majesty loves me so much, I'm afraid some people will say you are favoring me."

"Of course not," Jiang Lingyue waved her hand, disagreeing, "I'm desperately short of people. Forget nepotism. Even if they're my enemies, as long as they have real skills, I'm willing to use them!"

"Besides, I remember that Aunt Xie, you are skilled in archery, horse riding, and shooting. You have been exiled with Wang Shaofu for many years. Apart from other things, your ability to manage the household and do accounting must be outstanding. Don't underestimate yourself."

It goes without saying that General Xie’s beloved daughter must have grown up on horseback since she was a child.

Arrogant and unbridled, riding a horse in a parade, flamboyant and bright.

She is probably one of the best among the noble ladies in the capital.

If she wasn't as eye-catching as a little sun, how could the eldest son of the Wang family be willing to marry her home at all costs?

She is very outstanding, which is why Wang Shaofu regards her as a treasure. He is afraid that she will be coveted by others, so he stays by her side early in the morning and takes her into his arms when the time comes.

Xie Anning also thought of his past self.

Her father was injured when he was young and had difficulty having children. He was nearly forty years old when he had a daughter like her.

She was raised as a boy since she was young, and was prepared to keep her at home to marry a son-in-law to continue the Xie family's bloodline.

Swords, spears, swords and halberds are not suitable for women to handle.

Her father hired someone to teach her how to use a whip.

By the age of ten, she was able to wield the nine-section whip with ease.

But not long after she got married, she became pregnant. She began to learn to take care of her husband and children, and she never touched him again.

Now thinking back, she has been a woman immersed in the inner chamber for sixteen years.

It feels like a lifetime ago.

She had changed so much for that man without realizing it.

Xie An Ning was silent for a few breaths, then nodded and said, "Madam of the Inner Court, I am willing to give it a try."

Hearing her nod, Jiang Lingyue's eyes lit up, "That's right."

She had already made plans for Aunt Xie's arrangements and said immediately, "You are a fourth-rank imperial official. Now that you are a female official, you should start from the fourth rank. The Shanggong Division is currently short of a director. It's the end of the year now, so forget about this year. After the New Year holiday, you can go directly to the Shanggong Division to take up your position."

There are many officials in the inner court, but many of them are just honorary titles, with no real power and no government offices to work for.

Some, like Liu Rong, Nanny Qian, Jinyu and Jinshu, serve their masters and are always ready to take orders.

Some people are just given a rank after having enough seniority. Apart from a slight increase in salary, they actually still do the work of ordinary palace maids and eunuchs.

Among the inner court officials, the third rank is the highest. The eunuch Liu Rong is of the third rank, and even Nanny Qian is of the fifth rank.

The Director of the Shanggongsi was not only a fourth-rank official, but also had real power.

Analogous to the Ministry of Works of the previous dynasty.

This is already extremely important.

Xie Anning stood up, knelt on both knees, kowtowed and thanked the emperor, "I obey your order."

"Aunt Xie, no need to be so polite." Jiang Lingyue raised her hand.

Nanny Qian behind him stepped forward and helped the man up.

Seeing Wang Wan looking at him with sparkling eyes, Jiang Lingyue said with a smile, "Wan'er also wants to be an official?"

"Yes! I want to be a high-ranking official! I want to share Sister Lingyue's worries."

"You have ambition," Jiang Lingyue coaxed her with a smile, "Then you must pass the examination for selecting teachers at Xiaoxiang Academy next year and teach me a group of outstanding students first. I am really short of people."

"Okay!" Wang Wan nodded in agreement, "I will definitely teach you well!"

Sister Lingyue was short of people to do errands, so she taught the students diligently and helped her sister.

Jiang Lingyue felt very relieved.

Speaking of Xiaoxiang Library, I thought of what Huayang said yesterday, that the renovation of the library has been completely completed.

The originally scheduled opening date was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, which was three days later.

She single-handedly built this library from scratch.

She also came up with the name of the museum, and she would visit the site from time to time to check on the progress.

It is a happy thing that the project is completed ahead of schedule.

Although three days later, she and His Majesty the Emperor will personally attend the opening ceremony to show their importance.

However, since she had left the palace today, Jiang Lingyue had the idea of ​​going and taking a look first.

She looked at the sky, stood up and said, "It's still early, I'll go to the library."

Xie An Ning hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay: "Your Majesty, why don't you stay for a meal?"

It’s good to sleep in winter. Last night was too noisy, so Jiang Lingyue slept until almost noon and left the palace after lunch. It was indeed close to dinner time now.

But she still shook her head and said, "No, I promised His Majesty when I left the palace that I would return to the palace to have dinner with him."

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has moved out, Xie An Ning can no longer say anything about keeping anyone here.

During this period, the mother and daughter went to the palace many times, and whether the emperor invited them to eat or not, they met his majesty almost every time.

Xie An Ning had seen how the emperor and his empress interacted with each other on a daily basis, and she also knew that next to the main hall of Ning'an Palace, there was a special study room for His Majesty to review memorials.

His Majesty would only go to Guang'an Hall when summoning his ministers, and he would spend most of his time in Ning'an Palace.

They are inseparable, and anyone who sees them would say they are as sweet as honey and inseparable as glue.

With His Majesty's aloof and indifferent personality, it's hard to imagine him...

"Your Majesty treats you very well," Xie Anning said with a faint smile, "I have been away from the capital for more than ten years. I have heard and seen many loving and sweet couples, but I have never seen a man like Your Majesty."

Men in high positions use all those means to treat their women well.

Offspring, status, and favor.

You will be provided with fine clothes and delicious food, live a life full of flowers and glory, be loved by your husband, have children by your side, and have someone to rely on in the future.

The above is almost the most appropriate arrangement for a man to treat the woman he likes.

As for the idea of ​​staying with only one woman for one's whole life, that's nonsense.

Which man in a high position of power would have such awareness?

Even if an agreement is made before marriage, there are still chances of regretting it.

Not to mention anything else?
