The wives of the concubines are empresses
Chapter 378: Female Official Murong Xuelan is Rewarded by the Empress
In a room in the farmhouse, Landajun-Lanaxin looked above the bed in the dark night. It had been a long time since he came out. After he finished his things here, he might set off to return to Beijing.
Thinking of this, Landa Jun-Lanaxin actually felt reluctant to leave.
People are very habitual creatures, and perhaps they have never had any big fantasies about anyone or anything.
At this time, I wonder if the emperor who is far away in the palace has gone to bed. He has been away for so long and he misses her every day.
It’s strange to say, the emperor has so many husbands in his harem, but it seems that everyone likes her very much, even loves her.
Like Concubine Wen, Concubine Wu, and Concubine Lu, who now have children, they should all love the emperor, and his love for the emperor may not be as deep as theirs, but he still loves him.
She is a special existence in his heart, as if she is the second most important person in his life besides him.
During the years they spent together, they had a simple, sweet happiness, and he also cared about and looked forward to the emperor, and this feeling made his life more colorful.
In the Dragon Bedroom of the Imperial Palace, the two people who had finished their business lay flat on the dragon couch. Shangguan Wanjun was held in the arms of Concubine Hui-Fengjinghan, and her head rested on Concubine Hui-Fengjinghan's strong arms.
Looking at her gentle and charming face, Concubine Hui-Feng Jinghan lowered her head and kissed her forehead, then couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty."
"Hmm?" Shangguan Wanjun was so sleepy that she closed her eyes tightly.
Hui Fei - Feng Jinghan couldn't bear to wake her up, so he held the soft person in his arms tightly and said, "Go to sleep."
Shangguan Wanjun slept until dawn. The time for court was approaching, and she reluctantly got up from the dragon couch and got out of bed.
Hui Fei - Feng Jinghan, with her strong and muscular upper body exposed, saw Shangguan Wanjun getting out of bed with her eyes closed, with a look of worry on her face.
"Your Majesty, please slow down."
"I know."
Inside the Golden Palace, at today's grand court meeting, Duke Anguo Zhang Yufei bowed and stepped out.
"Your Majesty, I would like to seek a position to serve our dynasty." Only after attending the court meeting did he realize that the world is now ruled by both men and women, which also makes men like them feel pressured.
As the grandson of the former Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he did not want to be just a child relying on the protection of his ancestors. He hoped that he could be a more useful and valuable person.
Shangguan Wanjun didn't expect that he would be the first person to step out at the court meeting. Thinking that he had just inherited the throne and yet had such insight, it might be due to the teachings and advice of Mrs. Zhongguo.
"I wonder if there is any department you'd like to work for, my dear."
"I will obey the emperor's arrangements."
"In that case, how about I place you in the Kyoto Command Camp, with the Chief Commander and Concubine Wu?"
"I thank the Emperor and will train diligently and fulfill my duties."
Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded when she heard this: "Okay, I look forward to your change, my dear."
Duke Anguo Zhang Yufei returned to his original position, and a female official stepped out with a bow.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Shangguan Wanjun looked at the usually quiet and taciturn female official Murong Xuelan.
"My dear, please speak!"
"I recently discovered a typo in a book, and there are several more."
"Typos? Which book?"
"There's a version of the Thousand Character Classic that has five typos."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.
"Did you bring any books?"
Murong Xuelan took out the book from her sleeve and presented it to her. Liu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to take it and presented it to Shangguan Wanjun.
"That's where the red pen marks it. I've also left some leaves there. It should be easier to find than usual."
Shangguan Wanjun flipped it open and found that there really was a maple leaf. She pursed her lips in surprise. After she read the typos Murong Xuelan had pointed out, Shangguan Wanjun nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, let the Hanlin Academy re-edit this matter."
The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we obey your order."
"Lord Murong, for your meritorious service in correcting this error, I will reward you with fifty taels of silver."
"I thank the emperor."
After the court session, Shangguan Wanjun left Murong Xuelan to talk in the imperial study.
"My dear, how did you find that typo?"
"Your Majesty, I also saw it by accident. My younger sister was reading the Thousand Character Classic at home. I found that she read it wrong, and I corrected her without reading the book. But she accused me of misleading her.
I felt strange, so I took my sister's book and looked at it. I found that it was indeed wrong. So I read the entire book one by one, reviewing it five times in total, confirming that there were no new typos. Only then did I bring it to the court and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not blaming me for this trivial matter."
Shangguan Wanjun disagreed with her last half sentence.
"My dear minister, you are joking. This is no small matter. Thanks to your timely discovery, we are able to make the Thousand Character Classic in the whole country more accurate in font so that children can be familiar with it."
"It is my duty as a minister."
Murong Xuelan always listened to Shangguan Wanjun respectfully and attentively. In fact, Shangguan Wanjun was also secretly observing her every word and action.
"My dear, how old is your sister this year?"
"My sister is ten years old this year."
“What books have you read?”
"There are books like 'Three Character Classic,' 'Hundred Family Surnames,' 'Thousand Character Classic,' 'Thousand Family Poems,' and 'Rules for Disciples.'"
"Waiting for books? Then it seems there are other books. Are you usually very strict with her?"
"I am still stricter than my mother."
Shangguan Wanjun laughed and jokingly said, "Are you afraid that a loving mother will ruin her son?"
Murong Xuelan smiled embarrassedly: "Yes."
"It seems your father is also a loving mother, but you are playing the role of a strict father. Do you feel wronged?"
Murong Xuelan was puzzled as to why the emperor asked her this question.
"I still do sometimes, but I'm the eldest sister, so I should supervise her."
"You are a good sister, a good daughter, and even more so a good minister. You are a representative of the female officials. I hope you will continue to make great achievements. I am always waiting for you to reach the top, so that students all over the world can look up to you for your figure, talent, and virtue."
Murong Xuelan was shocked when she heard this: The emperor had such high expectations of her? Could she really do it?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Shangguan Wanjun stood up and patted her thin shoulders.
"Go down and get busy."
"My minister retire."
Murong Xuelan was greatly encouraged and had a faint smile on her lips all the way. After so many years, she finally had something that made the empress recognize her. This was praise, recognition and trust that was more important than a huge sum of money.
Minglan watched Murong Xuelan leave. She thought about the current time and smiled.
"I guess the side masters will be here soon."
"Here it comes." She could already smell the faint scent of Osmanthus fragrans.
Osmanthus fragrans (a type of osmanthus) blooms almost all year round, but its main flowering period is in autumn.
Far away in the sky, Lan Dajun - Lan Naxin, stood outside the built school and admired the school worth fifty taels of silver.
"That's great! From now on, all the children in the village will be able to go to school and learn to read and write, and they will also be more sensible and understanding." This is what the emperor is most happy to see.
