"Well, I want to know, do you have female officials in Wuqi Country?"
"Today's envoys are all men, I think!"
Yuchi Xi asked the question in her heart. She remembered that Her Majesty the Empress also elected female officials, so why didn't she see it?
"Yes," Her Majesty answered softly, "but those emissaries and ladies-in-waiting have only recently taken up their posts and are not yet particularly experienced."
"The Yuan Kingdom is a country we really want to cooperate with. I didn't want to send people who are not professional enough, so I didn't let them come. Let them study for a while, and then you will definitely be able to meet them."
This is a respect for the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuchi Xi: So that’s how it is.
The empress continued, "There are some other female officials, but they can only be seen during court."
After a pause, she continued, "If you visit our capital, you might be able to see it."
Yuchi Xi asked her, "Actually, I've always been curious, why do you use female officials?"
"Didn't the emperors in the past not want to employ female officials?"
The Empress's eyes were dim, "They don't want to employ female officials, they're just afraid that women will surpass them!"
"There were no female officials before, and that was simply because the Emperor was a man!"
"Now that I am the emperor of Wuqi Kingdom, I must change."
"It's time for Wuqi Country to change its generation."
Yuchi Xi blinked, "Is there no one in the court who objects?"
"Of course I do." The Empress chuckled. "This is exactly how power benefits me. Because I'm the Empress, what can they do if they object?"
"Unless they no longer belong to Wuqi Country, then everyone will be under my control."
"Of course, it's also because I have my own army."
"There has been a lot of internal strife in Wuqi Kingdom recently." Because she was a child, the empress did not want to hide anything. Yuan Kingdom looked down on Wuqi Kingdom, otherwise there would be no need to cooperate with them. Wouldn't it be faster to attack directly?
"These things are not uncommon. Every country knows about them."
It was quite a big fuss. "But I am still in this position now. You see, we women are not incapable of becoming emperors."
"Strategy isn't something only men have."
"Those female officials share my views. Although there aren't many of them now, I believe that over time, more and more women will experience power. By then, I won't need to do anything; they will come after me."
