"Ah Yuan, do you want to bring them together?"
After hearing Xie Yuan's arrangement, Helian Jue immediately understood her meaning.
"I think they're a perfect match!"
Xie Yuan wasn't one to meddle, but she felt that if the two were a good match, she could give them a push.
"Furthermore, Ah Yan, the younger sister, is getting married, while Helian Chen is still all alone. It's simply outrageous!"
Xie Yuan smiled at this point.
Helian Chen was not only the person the couple trusted most, but also a friend and even family.
Xie Yuan mostly kept his distance from Helian Jue's other confidants.
Even if we were to use it, we wouldn't be too close.
She always kept her identity in mind and maintained a proper balance.
Only Helian Chen, perhaps because of the years they had spent together, or perhaps because of Helian Chen's status as a member of the imperial family, in any case, not only Helian Jue, but also Xie Yuan treated him as one of their own.
Since they were family, Xie Yuan would show them more concern.
For older single men like Helian Chen, who have already established their careers, starting a family is of paramount importance.
Mu Jialuo and Helian Chen were a perfect match in terms of family background, appearance, talent, and temperament.
The key point is that there is an ambiguous feeling between the two.
Since they had feelings for each other, Xie Yuan was willing to help.
Let's go to Tianjin. One will be in charge of supervising the transport of grain, and the other will coordinate the establishment of the new Maritime Transport Office.
The two of them have a chance to spend time alone together, and perhaps their "perfect match" is just around the corner!
Of course, aside from personal reasons, there were also business considerations—
Helian Chen was the person Helian Jue trusted most, and the emperor and empress felt at ease entrusting him with the task of supervising the transport of grain.
Mu Jialuo was also a female official whom Xie Yuande employed, and she was very suitable to be in charge of the Maritime Transport Department.
Seeing Xie Yuan's interest, Helian Jue couldn't help but smile, "What A Yuan says is true, Helian Chen really should get married!"
He's in his late twenties, almost thirty, and still doesn't have a wife.
As for offspring, there's no sign of them at all!
In this respect, Helian Chen is not even as good as that fool, the fourth brother.
Fourth Prince: ...Where's your manners?
...
In ancient times, winter was the wedding season!
The imperial court conducts year-end assessments, and many officials who are assigned to other places will return to the capital at the end of the year if they are able.
In this way, those who are getting married have time to get married, and guests who are going to the banquet also have time to attend the wedding banquet.
Therefore, every winter, joyous events continue to occur in Beijing.
Two of Xie Yuan's female officials got married.
Helian Yan originally wanted to join in the fun, but her brother stubbornly disagreed and insisted on continuing the investigation.
Subsequently, he was transferred to Tianjin by the Empress.
"...Brother-in-law's official duties are important! Besides, next spring, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it will be an excellent time to visit."
Although Yan He is aloof and arrogant, he is still gentle and tolerant towards the young woman he likes.
He ignored Helian Chen's nitpicking and instead tried his best to comfort Helian Yan.
"Yes, next March would be perfect!"
Seeing her gentle fiancé, Helian Yan was overjoyed.
Her face flushed, she whispered, "If my brother returns next year—I'll go to the Empress!"
Helian Chen had better not cause any more trouble.
Otherwise, she would run to the Empress and complain!
"……good!"
Yan He smiled, his handsome and refined appearance as clear as the bright moon.
Helian Yan was captivated by her fiancé's smile, and she thought to herself, slightly tipsy: Getting married next year would be a good idea!
It's better than everyone getting married at the same time, leaving the Empress with no one of useful service.
Xie Yuan: ...There are still many talented people!
Since Xie Yuan selected a female attendant, and she herself sat on the throne with Helian Jue, the noble ladies and young women in the capital have become "active".
The capital has never lacked talent; even among women in their boudoirs, there are many learned and open-minded women of talent.
In the past, they simply didn't have the opportunity to use their talents, as they were all confined to the inner quarters.
Now we have Xie Yuan, and also a female attendant.
The idea that women could also dictate the course of history and stand in the court was no longer a shocking anecdote, but a fact tacitly accepted even by the bigwigs of the council.
The noble ladies, such as Princess Nanling, Mu Jialuo, and Helian Yan, began to distinguish themselves in the court and started to wield some power.
This situation not only attracted women, but also men and prominent families.
For aristocratic families, gender has never been the focus; the interests of the family are!
As long as it brings benefits to the family, they can send their daughters to be concubines or to the imperial court as female officials!
In a sense, female officials seemed to be more noble than imperial concubines.
Female officials relied on their talent and ability;
Concubines, to a large extent, relied on their beauty and seductive arts.
As Xie Yuan's influence in the court grew, more and more women wanted to follow Empress Xie.
Not to mention, old foxes like Wang Yu haven't completely given up on "praising to death."
So, after the female officials around Xie Yuan started getting married and pregnant, people began to recommend candidates for new wives to Xie Yuan!
"...Yes, it's definitely time to choose new talent!"
Xie Yuan had already planned this.
In fact, she would prefer to fix the timing and details of the selection and appointment of female officials.
Just like the imperial examination system for selecting officials, it had a fixed cycle, a unified examination time, and a very detailed and standardized process.
With the increasing number of female officials, the rise of women's education became a natural consequence.
Xie Yuan knew that it would be difficult for her to change society and advance history on her own.
But she can try, little by little.
As things stand, Xie Yuan has already shown the world the excellence of women.
It also made everyone aware of the value of women.
She will push forward further.
It may be difficult to see results in the short term.
Xie Yuan is still young; she has decades to work hard.
After the New Year, Xie Yuan held a "Spring Examination" to select female officials through a unified examination.
The announcement for the spring imperial examinations had just been released when people began to register.
When the registration deadline arrived, there were more than 120 people.
This was a female official! In ancient times, the illiteracy rate was already extremely high, and women had very few opportunities to study.
In such a large city as the capital, it was already quite remarkable that more than a hundred people signed up to participate in the selection of female officials.
After three rounds of testing, twelve people were finally selected.
The acceptance rate of one in ten is not too exaggerated, but it still achieves the purpose of selecting talents.
The number of women in the imperial court has increased again.
Civil and military officials: ...
However, Helian Jue did not find it offensive and continued to indulge his empress.
The court officials: ...A foolish ruler! He's blinded by lust!
A vixen! A hen crowing at dawn!
However, no matter how much people cursed them, the emperor and empress didn't care at all and remained unchanged.
Time flies, three years have passed!
The court officials were finally surprised to realize that the mourning period for the late emperor had ended!
The sage should remove his mourning clothes!
Besides clothing, you can also build a large harem!
