Moreover, they always felt that the queen was too beautiful and they dared not look at her directly. She was more beautiful than any man, as if she would fly into the sky in the next second.
When I look into her eyes, I always agree involuntarily and I don’t dare to refute her.
They are going to be eaten to death.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to the imperial examination. However, if Your Majesty does not want to have a queen, then you must hold a selection of concubines, right? Your Majesty is already twenty-three years old and still has no daughter. How can this be possible?" The speaker was the Minister of Rites.
But what she said was indeed reasonable, and His Majesty is not very young anymore.
"Okay, let's select the candidates and leave the court," Chao Yan agreed.
The ministers seemed to have won a battle. These days, His Majesty had been against them in every way and nothing had gone their way. Now, finally, there was something that made them feel better.
He hurried back to his house and asked his unmarried and unengaged sons to enter the palace for selection.
It doesn't matter whether they are legitimate sons or illegitimate sons. As long as they catch the emperor's eye, they are his good sons.
They don't care whether their son is a legitimate son or a bastard's son. Only legitimate daughters care about this.
Regarding the talent show, Chaoyan also directly announced that men from ordinary families can also participate in the talent show.
This incident caught the ministers off guard. No, how could ordinary people be like their sons?
However, the imperial edict had been issued and the ministers were helpless.
Not to mention Chaoyan's sisters, they were all sent to remote fiefdoms.
The princesses were all filled with hatred, it was so sudden.
They knew that the Queen Mother loved the Princess very much, but there was no need for her to abdicate in such a hurry.
This is so unfair to them.
"Mother, I want to enter the palace for the selection," Meng Ziyi's eyes were bright, and he had a childish demeanor. His face was red, and it was obvious that he was shy.
The Prime Minister took a look at Meng Ziyi. This illegitimate son was quite good-looking. She had many sons, but most of them were married. There were only three unmarried sons left, and they were all illegitimate sons. However, she didn't mind. She could send them all to the palace. As long as one of them caught the Empress's eye, it would be fine.
Ministers who had no sons or whose sons were already married would go to the people to find handsome men to enter the palace.
Chao Tong was still staying up late to review memorials.
[You bastard system, don’t accept such a world in the future, it’s too tiring.] This is the first time I feel so tired. No, and being a queen is not good at all. I have to get up early to attend court. It’s really terrible.
Waking up early is not something that humans do.
I don’t know how those ministers came to power.
No, she would set up a cabinet after this imperial examination. She didn't want to suffer the hardship of staying up late every day to review memorials. Otherwise, what would be the point of supporting so many ministers?
Eat white rice?
If she gets paid so much, she should be given the opportunity to work hard.
"Captain Xuan, come out. I have something to tell you," Chao Yan stood up and put his hands behind his back.
Manager Zhang is now the chief manager.
The Queen's former chief steward had already gone with the Queen to travel around.
A dozen men in black appeared out of nowhere.
Everyone line up and say, "What does the Queen want?"
"From now on, you, Captain Xuan, are no longer my secret guards. I plan to bring you out in the open," Chao Yan looked at the women who were wrapped tightly, with even their faces not showing.
"Yes, Queen," everyone in Team Xuan had no objection to this. They were born as royal secret guards and trained since childhood. They would never disobey their master's words.
"This is the food I wrote. I hope you guys won't let me down. It's up to you to make a lot of money for me," Chao Yan said. She 'got' the recipe for cooking food from the system.
Open a restaurant and let the people of Fengyuan Kingdom enjoy delicious food.
Team Xuan looked at each other in bewilderment. So, the Queen wanted them to do business?
This has never been delivered.
Can they really?
"Yes, Queen," but Captain Xuan was still very obedient.
Food is the most important thing for people, and there are many wealthy families in Kyoto.
Besides, she runs a restaurant, so no one would disrespect her, right?
Don't think she doesn't know that those ministers have a lot of shops.
She is an emperor, so what if she opens a few shops? What’s wrong with that?
It's not like she's driving it herself. She's doing this to make money. She needs to build the road!
The road is in a dilapidated state. Except for the official road, most other roads are mud roads.
When it rains, the road becomes completely impassable.
After Captain Xuan left, Chief Steward Zhang said, "Your Majesty, how will you confer titles upon your former servants? Your Majesty has not yet given them any titles."
She hasn't mentioned it these days. Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten it?
She was about to forget about it, since the servants all lived together anyway.
"Servant?" Chaoyan remembered that the original owner's servant was not a son of luck, so she didn't want him.
"Let's make them all Changyu. As for their living quarters, don't treat them badly. If they want to leave the palace and marry someone else, that's fine," Chao Yan said after thinking for a while. She would never favor them anyway.
Chief Steward Zhang sighed, "Yes, Your Majesty," These servants, no, they are now the chief eunuchs, and these chief eunuchs will probably have to endure only in the palace in the future.
More than a dozen concubines in the harem received an imperial edict, and they were named Chang Yu!
He is also a fourth-rank young man, which shows that Your Majesty does not forget them in his heart.
"Manager Zhang, I wonder if His Majesty has said when we can sleep with him?" When the chief eunuchs asked this, their faces blushed with embarrassment.
Ever since they became your Majesty's men, they have always been innocent men.
"His Majesty didn't say that. The imperial concubines should have a good rest. His Majesty will hold a beauty pageant in a few days, and His Majesty will not treat the imperial concubines unfairly," Chief Steward Zhang led his men away.
After all, he is a poor man.
Without your majesty's favor, I am nothing.
The chief eunuchs were somewhat desperate. Did His Majesty really dislike them that much?
"Your Majesty, don't you intend to sleep with us?"
"Isn't it better not to sleep with the emperor? Being the chief concubine is much better than serving others before. There are six palace maids waiting on me."
"But, if we have a Phoenix Queen in the future, will our lives still be better?"
"Who knows? His Majesty doesn't like us. We don't even have the qualifications to see him."
"Or go and seduce His Majesty?"
"You want to take us with you and seduce His Majesty. I won't go. I'm going back to the palace first."
The chief imperial guards all lived very close to each other, and because of their relatively low status, they did not have their own palaces.
They all lived in the side halls, and only the concubines had their own palace in the main hall!
…
Soon, the day of the selection arrived, and many commoner men also entered the palace for the selection, hoping to transform from sparrows into phoenixes.
The chief guards also went over to look, and Manager Zhang did not stop them. Chaoyan saw them, but did not recognize that those people were her chief guards.
Even if I recognized her, I wouldn't care.
