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

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the third day after Jiang Lingyue was hit by the mad horse, was the day when Xiaoxiang Library was completed.

This was the first women's college built, and she had decided to go there in person before. The danger she encountered did not change her decision.

Qi Junyi supports this.

Since the decree to promote women's colleges across the country has not been cancelled, the imperial concubine who is fully responsible for this matter cannot hide in the palace after being assassinated and not come out, making people think that she has backed down.

So, that morning, the main gate of the imperial city was opened wide, and the emperor's procession marched out of the palace in a grand procession.

The sun came out today, a rare sight, and the snow slowly melted away.

But the weather was still incredibly cold.

There was already a dense crowd of people standing at the entrance of the academy.

In addition to officials from various departments, the most eye-catching are several royal princesses who are dressed in luxurious clothes.

They are all sisters of the late emperor and aunts of the current emperor. They have lived in the capital for a long time and have paid close attention to the affairs of the women's college and are particularly concerned about it.

She was just a step too slow, and by the time she realized what was happening, the position of the dean of the first women's college had already become Princess Huayang.

Even the vice-president was taken down by Princess Cheng Yi.

Many princesses were quite regretful about this.

Xie An Ning and Wang Wan also arrived early, and were now standing next to Princess Huayang, waiting to welcome the emperor and his concubine.

When the emperor's ceremonial procession traveled, the roads naturally needed to be cleared, and officials from the Ministry of Rites took care of the entire process.

As soon as the imperial carriage appeared before their eyes, everyone knelt down.

The carriage stopped, and as Jiang Lingyue, who was wearing a purple palace dress, stepped onto the ground, His Majesty the Emperor took the cloak from Jinshu and put it on her himself.

Jiang Lingyue raised her head slightly and saw two stone lions guarding the entrance of the academy, which were carved vividly.

There is a huge stone archway with the words "Students knowledgeable in astronomy and geography work together to make progress and leap into the dragon gate" engraved on the right side, and "Gardeners from generation to generation work hard to cultivate pillars of society and nurture talents, so that the peach forest is fragrant" engraved on the left side. At the top hangs the four big characters "Xiaoxiang Library" written by His Majesty the Emperor himself, covered by red silk.

Jiang Lingyue smiled and praised, "What a style."

It is worthy of being a royal forest garden. After such a short period of renovation, the academy has been built into such a magnificent academy.

Qi Junyi also raised his eyebrows and looked at the people who were bowing below, and said, "Everyone, stand up."

The gong sounded.

The inauguration ceremony begins.

Apart from the officials from the Ministry of Rites, Huayang and Chengyi, the president and vice president, are the busiest.

The emperor personally visited the academy, which should have been a chance for the students to show off. However, because the academy had just been built and there were no students yet, today's Xiaoxiang Academy became a good opportunity for officials from various departments to show off.

The celebration stage has been set up. This time it will not be a martial arts show, but a place for writing poems and essays.

It is not easy to be a civil servant in a prosperous era. Although the officials on the stage are not of high rank, they are all successful Jinshi, well-read, and the best in their subject.

Without fighting your way out of a vast army, you cannot stand before the emperor.

Any one of them is a young talent, and with the blessing of wisdom, they are even more eye-catching.

Jiang Lingyue looked at it for a while, and her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She turned her head to look at the person next to her, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you saying there aren't enough people? Look at that."

Qi Junyi raised his chin and looked at the young man on the stage who was holding a bamboo pen and writing something quickly on the paper with his wrist suspended in the air.

"Feng Shu, a newly minted Jinshi, currently serves as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. His ancestral home is Qingzhou, and he comes from a humble family. He is well-educated and has some experience in martial arts, but he has an overly resolute temperament. I originally planned to send him out for two years to temper his temper and see how effective he is. If you need help, I'll give it to you."

This was the first time such a topic came up between them.

Jiang Lingyue was surprised, and subconsciously looked at the young man named Feng Shu seriously, "Give it to me?"

He was wearing a blue casual suit, was in his twenties, had a straight face, and his scholarly bearing was not only reflected between the lines of his writing, but also in his words and actions.

The editor of the Hanlin Academy is of the sixth rank... Since he is remembered by His Majesty the Emperor, his knowledge and talent must be more than just "good".

It is no exaggeration to say that the future is limitless.

"Would he be willing to enter the inner court?"

Jiang Lingyue frowned, "The highest rank in the inner court is only third rank. Isn't this hindering one's future?"

"That's only temporary. Didn't Yueyue say that she wanted to open up a channel similar to the imperial examination for women across the country, giving them the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with men in the court?"

Qi Junyi smiled and said, "Then use the inner court as a springboard. In addition to the imperial examination, the inner court can also transport talents to the previous dynasty. As long as they are capable, I will not be too many."

If one stands out in the inner court, makes contributions, and catches the eye of the superiors, he will naturally be able to jump out of this small court and enter the real center of power.

Therefore, the third grade is not the upper limit.

So what he meant was that in the future, men could also serve as officials in the inner court.

He was not a eunuch, but a real man serving as an official.

At the same time, it also means that the power held by Feng Yin is greater.

Jiang Lingyue blinked and kindly reminded, "I can summon the inner court officials at any time."

The inner court now only has female officials and castrated eunuchs.

He wanted to give her greater rights.

That means she can summon other men at any time.

...Isn’t he a jealous person?
