Chapter 181 It’s a bit too coincidental
Hun Dun walked very slowly and gently, for fear of waking up the person on the bed. When it reached the bed, it poked its head out to look, then jumped onto the bed and stood on one leg.
After making sure that the person on the bed was not awake, it quietly put down its other legs and looked at Jiang Yunxi with its big round eyes, with a look of great confusion on its little face.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yunxi opened his eyes and looked at it.
Chaos was confused when the sudden sound frightened it and it shuddered. It fell off the bed with a bang and made close contact with the ground.
Jiang Yunxi's face was full of black lines.
Why do I feel a little stupid?
She quickly sat up and looked at Hun Dun, who looked embarrassed. "Why did you sneak into my room so late at night?"
Chaos blinked, babbled with his mouth open, and gestured with his two paws.
"I don't understand animal language. You go back first. I will go to Huangquan to find you tomorrow and let Meng Po tell me." Jiang Yunxi stopped it from talking any further. No matter how much it said, she couldn't understand.
Hun Dun let out a howl, looked at her with a complicated look, then turned around and ran away quickly.
Jiang Yunxi looked at its back with a thoughtful expression. She met Hun Dun during the day and had such a dream at night. It was a bit too coincidental. Could it be that Hun Dun could help her recover her memory?
…
The next day.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan got up early and entered the palace. They didn't even have breakfast and planned to go to the retired emperor to eat with them.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Mianmian was very surprised when she saw them. She and her brother were doing well with the Emperor's grandfather and didn't want to go back to disturb them at all.
I heard they are investigating a case together again.
"Your father said he would take you to a birthday party." Jiang Yunxi looked at his daughter's round face and knew that they would have a good future, at least they would not have to worry about food and clothing.
The Emperor and Zhan Beiyuan will both be good to them.
Their grandmother, father and brother will also take care of them.
"Mom, are you going too?" Mo Mo looked at her expectantly.
"Of course." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Mo Mo Mian Mian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't hide her happiness on her face.
"Attend the birthday banquet?" The emperor looked at them.
"It's Old Master Pei's 60th birthday." Zhan Beiyuan said.
The Emperor suddenly remembered, "It's Hexuan's sixtieth birthday. Have you prepared the birthday gift?"
"Your son has prepared it." Zhan Beiyuan nodded. Since he was going to attend a birthday banquet, he naturally prepared it in advance.
"Qin Fu, go to the warehouse and get me two birthday gifts, one for me and one for Yun Xi." The emperor looked at Qin Fu and gave the order.
"Yes." Qin Fu replied with a smile and quickly went to prepare.
"Father, what do you mean by preparing a birthday gift for Jiang Yunxi? She went there with me." Zhan Beiyuan frowned, not quite understanding his approach.
The Emperor smiled at him and said meaningfully, "Your birthday gift is yours, and her birthday gift is hers. You two have no relationship now, so she naturally can't go empty-handed."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The Emperor said with a smile, "When you two become husband and wife, I will naturally not prepare a birthday gift for her separately."
Mo Mo, Mian Mian: "Grandfather Huang is right!"
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
"Is there any progress on the Jiangzhou fire?" asked the emperor.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan shook their heads at the same time.
They are also investigating that pattern, but there is no clue yet. I wonder if Gu Zhoubai and the others have found out?
"I heard that you are investigating another case. More than a dozen women have died. The murderer's method is too cruel. We must find a way to find him quickly to prevent more people from being harmed." The emperor said in a deep voice with a tense face.
Although he abdicated long ago, he knew almost all the major events that happened in the capital.
"We are trying our best to investigate." Zhan Beiyuan's face turned pale when he thought of the corpses. Under the feet of the sky, the other party dared to commit such cruel crimes. They did not take the laws of Tenglong Kingdom seriously.
When such people are caught, their corpses should be whipped in public to deter others.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. He won't have the chance to kill another woman." Jiang Yunxi said. She would not give the other party another chance, although she didn't know who the murderer was.
"I heard that you have thoroughly investigated the affairs of the Duke of Yong's Mansion over the past thirty years. You are truly extraordinary. It would be a shame if you did not take charge of the Ministry of Justice. However, there is no precedent for women serving as officials in Tenglong Country."
The retired emperor admired her from the bottom of his heart. If she were in charge of the Ministry of Justice, there would be no injustice.
When he was on the throne, he knew that there were definitely many grievances in some remote counties, but the emperor was far away, and those people helped to conceal them layer by layer, so they could never reach the capital.
He also couldn't go to each state and county to check one by one.
"There is no precedent, but we can set one. In my opinion, women can also be officials, as long as they are officials who truly care about the people." Jiang Yunxi expressed his opinion.
She never thought that women were inferior to men. Although they could not compare with men in terms of strength, there were many women who were no worse than men in other talents, knowledge, and ways of dealing with people.
"Are you willing to serve as an official in the court?" asked the retired emperor. Her words really surprised him. An ordinary woman would never say that.
"I don't want to because I'm too busy, but I support other outstanding women to serve as officials in the court. As long as the court is willing to give them opportunities, they will not be bad." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
She loves freedom by nature and doesn't like to be bound by any official position. What's more, she doesn't know whether she can break the curse of not living beyond the age of 22 this time.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at the woman's cheerful smile. Her words made him think highly of her because she dared to think and say, "It's difficult for a woman to enter the court and become an official. It's not that easy."
"As long as no one deliberately suppresses them and allows them to take part in the imperial examinations, I believe there will be women who stand out." Jiang Yunxi said confidently.
"Please talk to the emperor about this." The emperor looked at Zhan Beiyuan and said.
Zhan Beiyuan nodded.
After breakfast.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan went to Pei Mansion with their children.
Pei Mansion.
There were red lanterns and golden goldfish lanterns hanging at the gate. People from the Pei family were standing at the door to welcome them. Today, all the officials, big and small, from the court came to celebrate the birthday.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Han. Please come in." Pei Mingyu saluted respectfully when he saw Zhan Beiyuan.
"Let someone lead the way, we're going to see the old tutor." Zhan Beiyuan said lightly. Even though the Pei family was holding a birthday banquet today, his face was still cold and without a smile.
Pei Mingyu arranged for other people to receive the guests, and he personally led Zhan Beiyuan in. The guards of Prince Han's Mansion were holding three gifts in their hands.
After Jiang Yunxi entered, she walked around and looked around. It seemed that Old Master Pei was very popular. Many people came to celebrate his birthday today, and she could also take the opportunity to get to know many people.
Down the corridor not far away.
Jiang Chenyu was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Yunxi. When she saw the handsome man in front of her, she clenched her handkerchief tightly. Zhan Beiyuan brought Jiang Yunxi to attend a birthday party.
In what capacity did she come?
