Jiang Li finished speaking.
"Bang!"
Several men of the Jiang family slammed the table and stood up. However, Gu Qingchen slammed the table the loudest. When he stood up, the table in front of him broke into two pieces in an instant.
Therefore, Jiang Yao quickly glared at his son. The emperor was still sitting there, so why was he banging the table? It would only cause trouble for his sister.
Everyone's eyes turned to Prince Jingling.
The noble ladies kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they couldn't even speak clearly. They said with sad faces, "Your servants... Your servants are guilty. Your servants shouldn't have bullied the princess. It's because your servants didn't recognize the real you..."
"Tsk--" Jiang Li sneered and waved at Gu Qingchen, signaling him to calm down.
Afterwards, he put the handkerchief soaked in ginger water back into the space, took out a clean one, wiped his red eyes, and then said: "The whole world belongs to the king. As the wife of an official, we should set an example and care for the people, so as not to let down his grace."
"Moreover, ministers in high positions should be concerned about the people; this is the mission of an official. And as children of Da Ning, you and I should shed our arrogance. Those who can do something should do it, those who can speak out should speak out. Let us shine a light and give warmth, just like fireflies. Even women can shine a little light in the darkness. Tiny lights will attract tiny lights, tiny lights will illuminate tiny lights. Let us find each other and shine together. In this way, Da Ning will surely shine like a torch!"
"Well said!"
The person who applauded was the Hanlin scholar, Lord Fu. Before Jiang Li was nominated by the emperor to be promoted to a female official, he had always had a knot in his heart, thinking that women were not worthy of the position.
Hearing Jiang Li's words today, he felt his passion awakened. As the saying goes, "Studying hard for decades, just to serve the emperor," ultimately, it was all about becoming a good official and speaking for the people.
But Jiang Li said that even if he was an ant, he could still emit a little light and contribute his strength to Daning.
It was truly an eye-opener, a real eye-opener!
The more Lord Fu thought about it, the more excited he became. He looked at Imperial Master Xue with his eyes full of energy. No wonder Imperial Master Xue kept praising his granddaughter all day long. She was indeed an outstanding descendant of the Imperial Master!
Thinking of this, he looked at the editor's daughter, Song Yingying. They were obviously of the same age, but she only knew how to bully others in private. She dared to bully Princess Jingling that day, and she must have bullied the people many times. The more Master Fu thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided to go back and give Song the editor a good scolding. If he couldn't even discipline his own children, how could he serve the court? As for this year's promotion evaluation, he didn't need to participate.
As for Gu Qingchen, he was originally furious when he heard that his young wife was bullied, but now he was completely disturbed by Jiang Li's words. He recalled that he was only a young boy, but he led the troops to fight. Everyone praised him as the reincarnation of the God of War and a talented major general.
But he himself knew that it was a helpless move under the massive invasion of other countries. In the end, he was able to win the battle because of the gathering of tens of thousands of patriotic soldiers. The glimmer of hope eventually turned into a raging fire, and Daning became a powerful country with an irresistible momentum.
When his heart was pounding, Gu Qingchen felt that God had treated him well.
As the saying goes, it's easy to get ten thousand taels of gold, but it's hard to find a true friend. God sent Jiang Li to him, which must be compensation for his congenital illness and a reward for his fighting for his country.
"Good, what a great Princess Jingling!"
The emperor was silent for a long while, his thoughts turning over and over. Finally, he suppressed the sob in his throat and said, "If all the children of Daning want the same as you, then why should I worry about Daning's prosperity!"
"Come here, reward! Big reward!"
Concubine Chen didn't quite understand.
Having come to that point, it was obvious that he had planned everything out, so why didn't Jiang Li get punished, but instead received a generous reward?!
Seeing Jiang Li respectfully accepting the reward and returning to his seat, he subtly raised his eyebrows at Concubine Chen, which made Concubine Chen very angry.
"Your Majesty, then grant me a marriage..."
As soon as the Concubine Chen said this, she was glared at by the Emperor and dared not move.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao immediately stepped forward, bowed, and thanked him, saying, "Your Majesty, you are aware that my sons are still in their prime and need a few more years of training on the battlefield before they can start families. Therefore, I dare to ask Your Majesty for your permission. When they meet the women they desire, could Your Majesty grant them marriages?"
The emperor felt relieved when he heard Jiang Yao's words.
If only the ministers were sensible and capable, the emperor would live a few more years! Look at this Jiang Aiqing, how much he understands!
Having received the benefits and paved the way for the newly granted marriage, the emperor was extremely satisfied and nodded repeatedly: "I remember all the times that your Jiang family fought for the country. How about this? When the young generals get married, I will prepare generous gifts for them. How about that?"
"Thank you, Lord!"
In this way, all members of the Jiang family were rewarded again. As for the women who were carefully selected by Concubine Chen, they were ordered to return to their homes and reflect on their mistakes after the palace banquet. If they committed the same mistakes again, their fathers would be dismissed from their official positions as a warning to others!
By this point, due to Jiang Li's words, the wives of officials in the capital were often scolded upon returning home, with many causing chaos. In the end, it was only when the elders stepped in and spent a large sum of money to hire a nanny to take care of the family that things calmed down a bit.
But because of this, those young ladies from official families who used to be arrogant and domineering began a very long period of "dark" education.
For this reason, for a long time, four words were circulated in the capital: "to conquer people with glass."

"Sister, Concubine Chen has already failed. Are we sure we still need to drug Prince Jingling?"
In the side hall, Qin Shuang'er bit her lower lip, trying to persuade Concubine Yue.
