Ye Xiaoxiao didn't know that the Queen Mother actually wanted to ask her, and thought she was talking about her and Shangguan Lingyun.
Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then spoke a little embarrassedly.
"Mother, this time when we went out, we not only found a herb for the children."
"The main thing is that we also found many problems in the West City."
"Your Majesty means that these officials will definitely not present bad things in order to whitewash the situation."
"So, he planned to go on another incognito visit after he finished dealing with the West City Mine."
The Queen Mother sighed, then nodded.
"That's right. As an emperor, you should really put the people first."
"Besides, the child is still young and doesn't understand what companionship is."
"I hope that when they grow up, you can bring peace to the world."
"I also hope that you can find an antidote as soon as possible to prevent both children from suffering at the same time."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the Queen Mother with some confusion.
"Mother, what will happen to the two children after we leave?"
The Queen Mother sighed, "You don't have to worry, it's just that Yangyang had a little cold a few days ago."
"Nuannuan has also been sick all day, and it really distresses my mother to see this."
"But you don't have to worry. Doctor Xu is very skilled. The two children only have a mild case of typhoid fever and will be well in two days."
Ye Xiaoxiao felt relieved after hearing this, but this also strengthened her determination to find an antidote.
"Mother, you have worked hard these days."
"Your Majesty has some official business to attend to. For the time being, the child will temporarily stay with my daughter-in-law."
The Queen Mother did not refuse.
"That's fine. Although the child is young, he still longs for his mother."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't hear the hidden meaning in the Queen Mother's words and nodded lightly.
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother asked Shangguan Lingyun a few more questions and then left with her people.
Ye Xiaoxiao temporarily handed the two children to the wet nurse, and then went to the bedroom with Shangguan Lingyun to bathe and change clothes.
After washing up, Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun each held a child and talked.
"Jingzhao Yin and Dali Temple are both important parts of the imperial court. What are your plans next?"
Ye Xiaoxiao has been helping Shangguan Lingyun review memorials, so she doesn't have too many reservations.
Shangguan Lingyun heard this and glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao.
"I already have a candidate in mind for the Dali Temple vacancy, but this Jingzhao Yin..."
Before Shangguan Lingyun could say anything more, Ye Xiaoxiao interrupted him.
"The Ye and Qin families already play a significant role in the imperial court. You absolutely cannot give the position of Jingzhao Yin to the Ye family."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled calmly, "Others are all deliberately seeking power for their own families."
"You are so good, you are afraid that the Ye family will be too closely related to the court."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "I'm doing this for the Ye family's sake."
"Besides, my brothers at home all have their own things to do."
"Dad is old now, it's time for him to enjoy his retirement."
"We can't keep them busy all the time just for the sake of the court."
"Besides, Daxia is full of talented people. We have to give others some opportunities."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded approvingly and then said.
"You are right. The court should appoint people based on their merits. Only in this way can we have no worries."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. Speaking of the meritocracy, she remembered something.
"By the way, this year happens to be the Imperial Examination, and it also happened to be shortly after you ascended the throne, so perhaps you could take a good look at it."
Since ancient times, the imperial examination has been the most direct way to select talents.
However, cases of favoritism and fraud also occur frequently.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Shangguan Lingyun, then spoke lightly.
"This year is the first imperial examination since you ascended the throne. You must choose someone you trust as the invigilator."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips. He knew that Ye Xiaoxiao had an extraordinary background, and when he saw her mention it, he wanted to ask her what she thought.
"Oh? Then Xiaoxiao, who do you think would be more suitable to be the chief examiner?"
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "Although I have some understanding of these officials."
"But after this trip to West City, I really don't dare to make any assumptions."
"My husband, please go to the main hall and discuss the matter of the invigilator and the chief examiner with the court officials."
Shangguan Lingyun didn't say anything more after hearing this.
"Well, you're tired too. Let's send the children to their own bedrooms to rest."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, then shook her head.
"I know you have a lot of things to deal with. Let them accompany me tonight."
"You should go and take care of the government affairs first. You don't have to accompany me."
Shangguan Lingyun did not force it. Although nothing major happened in the court after he left Beijing for about a month.
But there are also quite a few small things, and he really needs time to deal with them slowly.
"In that case, you should go to bed early, and I will be back later."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "Go ahead, take your time, don't work too hard."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, then left with Wang Xiao.
After Shangguan Lingyun left, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately asked Tianxuan to send someone to deliver a message to the Ye family.
When everyone in the Ye family learned that Ye Xiaoxiao had returned, they finally put their minds at ease.
After Ye Pengcheng and Mrs. Ye talked about this matter with their sons and daughters-in-law, they let them go back.
Back in the bedroom, Li Jingjing glanced at Ye Rong beside her.
"My husband, I heard from Xiaoxiao that His Majesty will send you to Maoshan next."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while, so I plan to go to the palace to see Xiaoxiao tomorrow."
