Gongyi Qingjun looked at his confident brother in front of him and felt a little emotional about his changes.
Gongyi Qingshu came to his senses and met their gazes. His face flushed red. Why were they both staring at him?
Just when he lowered his head in embarrassment, he felt a warm embrace and then his sister's voice came to his ears.
"Well done, brother."
He pursed his lips and suppressed the corners of his mouth that were rising wildly. At this moment, he looked at his wife with a pair of smiling eyes. Was she also proud of him?
Unfortunately, Song Sanniang's smile did not last long. The little Qiushi in her arms was really heavy. She silently lifted the little Qiushi up.
Gongyi Qingjun followed her brother's gaze and saw this scene. She had just held Xiao Qiushi in her arms and was deeply touched by his weight. Seeing this, she laughed out loud.
Song Sanniang and Gongyi Qingshu looked at each other, and finally laughed along with Gongyi Qingjun.
Rongshuang and Ningshui, who were guarding outside the door, looked at each other. Was this the answer to His Majesty's days of trouble, or was it purely because of the two masters?
They didn't know what the three of them talked about in the study. They just waited until the next day when the empress was in court and told the court the preliminary plan that she, Gongyi Qingshu and Song Sanniang had discussed last night.
Then there was an uproar below.
"Queen, no, how can a man be an official? Besides, it's not feasible for those barbaric and uncivilized people to be like that."
"Yes, please think twice, Queen!"
"Since ancient times, there has never been an example of a man from Qinglong Country serving as an official..."
…
There were many voices of opposition from below, but if someone looked closely, she would find that those who spoke out against it were all civil officials, who had retained their positions after the previous queen passed away.
The remaining new faces who did not speak were all promoted by the Queen herself, and the others were female generals who followed the Queen to conquer the world. They admired the Queen very much.
If the Queen wanted to conquer the stars, they would build a platform and lay the foundation without saying a word. Now she just proposed a small policy, and the entire White Tiger Kingdom was conquered by the Queen and them.
These old idiots are just occupying positions as ginseng, trying to flatter themselves, bah!
Before they could exert any strength, they heard the queen on the stage sneer.
"You are teaching me how to do things. I am just asking you to think about what needs to be improved. If you continue to talk nonsense, I think you don't need to wear the clothes you are wearing anymore."
Song Sanniang's mind was full of stars as she looked at Gongyi Qingjun's stern face, and when she heard what she said, she started parkouring like crazy.
Song Sanniang kept her head down. She was just there to make up the numbers, to feel the atmosphere and listen to the ministers' opinions.
However, she did not expect that there would be so many voices of opposition, and that there would be considerable resistance after its formal implementation. She hoped that they could be of some use and be improved, but in the end, they were simply pulling out the hair on the tiger's head.
Song Sanniang: Let go of the desire to help others and laugh at their fate. They choose their own path.
However, those who spoke out in opposition quickly gave in and knelt down when they saw the queen was angry.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Gongyi Qingjun had no intention of taking action now and did not pursue them.
His Highness and the others then began to discuss seriously. Almost everyone came forward to say something. Although most of it was beautiful nonsense, there were still many eye-opening ideas.
When the court was finally dismissed, the ministers all hurried out of the palace, and when they said goodbye to each other, they just bowed without saying a word.
Song Sanniang also understood what was going on when she saw this scene. Her throat had become hoarse...
After all the ministers brainstormed, the local management policy that was almost perfected began to be implemented, and then another important matter came.
The empress's coronation ceremony was held.
At the ceremony, all the ministers had solemn expressions on their faces. Regardless of whether they had any prejudice against the new queen before, it was undeniable that she was a meritorious official of the Qinglong Kingdom and the first person to unify the continent since the founding of the Qinglong Kingdom.
Amid the sound of ritual music, their queen stepped onto the platform step by step. Finally, she flicked her sleeves and looked back at the ministers below the stage and the soldiers behind her.
"Your Majesty, holy peace!"
"No need to be polite!"
Then the ceremonial officer continued the process and recounted the empress's contributions, followed by a long string of formal remarks. Song Sanniang listened to some of them and then skipped over them.
Gongyi Qingshu, who was standing beside him, listened to these words with great patience. He had never thought that he would see the day when his elder sister would be crowned emperor. Joy, pride, and other emotions surged in his chest...
As for what the empress herself is thinking, who knows?
Time flies. Half a year has passed since Gongyi Qingjun proclaimed himself emperor. A lot has happened in these six months.
First, Her Majesty the Empress was urged by the ministers to hold a beauty pageant to fill her harem and give birth to a prince and princess as soon as possible. Now that the world is peaceful and the dynasty is stable, when would she choose to have a child?
Gongyi Qingjun was harassed so much that she hid directly in Song Sanniang's house. At that time, she looked at the little Qiushi in her arms smiling brightly at her, and felt that having a child was not a bad thing. After dinner in the evening, she returned to the palace.
The next day, news came from the palace that His Majesty had agreed to the selection of concubines, which made the unmarried men excited.
They had finally waited for this day. The empress was the object of their admiration in their hearts. Now there was a possibility that they could enter the palace to accompany her. Who wouldn't go crazy?
After a month of selection, only five young men were successfully selected to enter the palace. The position of the emperor was still vacant. Three of them were sons of ministers, who were accepted after careful consideration. The remaining two young men had relatively simple family backgrounds.
She had originally considered whether to adopt a man, but after thinking about it, she finally gave up the idea.
Then came the great floods in the south, and the whole court was busy with disaster relief, food distribution, resettlement of disaster victims, and epidemic prevention and control. Later, Gongyi Qingjun also went south to inquire about the disaster situation.
After the flood, water conservancy projects were started. Gongyi Qingjun commissioned someone to design and build flood discharge water conservancy projects so that the next flood would not pose such a big threat.
After that, when Xiao Qiushi turned one year old, Song Sanniang and her husband deliberately postponed the wedding and waited for Gongyi Qingjun to come back from inspection.
Gongyi Qingjun was even specially isolated for a period of time, during which time she was fumigated (disinfected) and took medicine.
