Bei Lingyao originally thought that not many concubines would leave the palace, but because of the compensation from the palace and after contacting their natal families.
One-third of the concubines were willing to leave the palace.
They also understood that Emperor Yongxi's thoughts were now on the Queen.
In addition, Emperor Yongxi was injured, so even if they slept with him, they might not be able to conceive an heir in this lifetime.
They are still young, and those with good family backgrounds are unwilling to continue to fight in the harem.
Living a life of anticipation, waiting, disappointment, despair, and no hope.
Emperor Yongxi was also surprised. He had originally wanted to let the concubines who had not slept with him leave the palace.
Unexpectedly, some of the women who had served in the palace also wanted to leave the palace and remarry.
It was Bei Lingyao who gave them confidence.
The Cangyue Kingdom encourages widows and divorced women to remarry.
It’s just that the social atmosphere is not very kind to this.
Not to mention women who were divorced, even widows who wanted to remarry would not be able to do so because of the obstruction of their husband's family and the compromise of their parents' family on the issue of chastity.
Not to mention the period of Taizu, the empress dowager during the reign of the previous emperor is an example.
Although it was rumored that the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor had an affair before their divorce, the Empress Dowager also entered the palace after her divorce.
With Bei Lingyao remarrying into the palace, it also gave great confidence to the concubines who were willing to leave the palace.
In Wanchun Palace, Concubine Yu was incredulous when she learned that one-third of the concubines were willing to leave the palace.
"Are they stupid? Who in a decent family would marry an abandoned concubine from the palace?"
Concubine Yu was extremely angry.
Then the palace servant said, "Your Majesty, the Fengyi Palace's housekeeper is here."
The wet nurse came to deliver the message on Bei Lingyao's orders.
It is said that concubines in the harem can leave the palace and remarry as long as they are willing. What are the compensations in the palace?
If Concubine Yu wishes to do so, she can notify Fengyi Palace.
Concubine Yu suppressed her anger and had the wet nurse sent away. She then immediately pulled off the flower crown on her head and threw it to the ground.
At this moment, all the years of forbearance completely collapsed.
"You want me to leave the palace and marry again? Forget it!"
Bei Lingyao smiled. When the nurse came back, she said, "My Lady, it seems Concubine Yu is unwilling."
"If she doesn't want to, then she doesn't want to. Whether she leaves the palace or not, she is not a threat."
Bei Lingyao did not regard Concubine Yu as her rival.
As some concubines and palace maids left the palace, Bei Lingyao sorted out the rules and regulations of the harem, as well as performance appraisals, etc.
It is so convenient to have a form with all the rules and regulations.
Looking at Bei Lingyao's newly made account book, Emperor Yongxi was very happy.
"Okay, Yao'er is really talented."
Emperor Yongxi brought all the forms and systems made by Bei Lingyao to the court.
"Look at how concise the Queen's words are, not a single word of nonsense. Look at the system the Queen established: clear division of labor, clear rewards and punishments, performance appraisals, and welfare benefits. And look at this form: pragmatic and concise, with clear items and easy to understand..."
Emperor Yongxi looked down upon his ministers with a look of disdain. They all boasted of their talents and abilities, but they were not even as good as the empress.
"The Queen's memorials are clear at a glance. The titles and key points are clearly written, without a single superfluous word. Yours are full of nonsense. Every time I read a memorial, I can't find the key points. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack to understand the contents of a memorial."
Speaking of this, Emperor Yongxi became furious.
If he had not seen the memorial submitted to him by Bei Lingyao, he would have tacitly agreed with the memorials of the officials and ministers.
But after reading it, Emperor Yongxi could no longer look directly at those baskets of nonsense and flattering literature.
It consumed so much of his time, eyesight, energy, and body.
The more he thought about it, the more he looked down on Emperor Yongxi.
"From now on, memorials will be written in the Empress's format."
The court officials were silent. Even if some of them were dissatisfied, they could not refute it.
The morning court session that day was gloomy for the court officials.
When the court was dismissed, everyone left with their heads down and sighs, feeling extremely depressed.
Before they had finished their business, Bei Lingyao had already managed the harem in an orderly manner.
The palace servants were more motivated to work, for performance, for welfare, and for a prosperous life in the future.
Let’s fight!
Bei Lingyao is also good at giving people chicken soup for the soul. She gathered everyone in the palace and fed them bowl after bowl of chicken soup for the soul.
The palace servants are vigorous and high-spirited, their left eyes are hardworking and their right eyes are struggling.
Roll them up one by one.
Concubine Yu was still waiting for Bei Lingyao to make a fool of herself in the palace, but what she got was praise from the whole palace.
She secretly sent a letter back to ask her parents what she should do.
Prime Minister Yu asked her to be content, and the Prime Minister's wife also asked her to continue to endure.
Bei Lingyao, who was pregnant, was still not satisfied and she reached out to the concubines again.
The palace maids rolled it up, and the concubines had to roll it up too.
Otherwise, people will become bored and feel dead silent, which can easily lead to psychological problems and even inappropriate thoughts.
Bei Lingyao imposed all the rules and regulations on the concubines.
She can write poems, paint, compose music and play the piano, play chess and write chess manuals, embroider, and do needlework, etc.
Being versatile is a plus.
Magazines and newspapers were published in the harem, and any concubine's poems, articles or stories that were excellent could be published and compiled into a book.
Bei Lingyao's words were recorded by the female historian and compiled into a book, which was passed down to future generations and left her name in history.
The concubines were all excited.
Anyone who can enter the palace is multi-talented.
For the sake of their dreams and the glory of their lives, they wrote poems, composed music and lyrics, compiled stories, wrote chess manuals, painted pictures and wrote articles.
He was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, wanting to prove himself.
Those who are good at needlework and embroidery also began to rack their brains to write design drafts.
Design new styles of clothes.
Some concubines also designed jewelry.
Emperor Yongxi looked at the newspapers, magazines, and storytelling sessions that Bei Lingyao had produced.
Everyone was stunned.
He knew that her concubines were all talented, but the newspapers, magazines, and storytelling sessions produced by Bei Lingyao were surprisingly interesting.
Emperor Yongxi watched with great interest, especially the storytelling, and was fascinated by it.
"What does the Emperor think?"
Bei Lingyao asked.
"Very good, after all, I have buried their talents."
Emperor Yongxi gave Bei Lingyao a thumbs up, thinking that Bei Lingyao was very capable.
He knew that his concubines were talented, but no one had ever used their talents to do anything to allow them to fully prove themselves.
In the eyes of many people, concubines were there to serve the emperor and give birth to his offspring.
Even if a talented woman entered the harem, she would be buried.
Because they don't have many opportunities to show their talents and advantages.
Even if it was displayed, it was only in the palace or performed privately in front of the emperor.
But they were all seen as a way to win favor, and the talents naturally changed their meaning.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of publishing newspaper and magazine stories outside the palace?"
Emperor Yongxi frowned slightly. "This is a good thing, but the harem and the court are closely connected. Not every concubine is simply here to show off their talents. If someone is ambitious and uses public opinion to manipulate public opinion and stir up trouble in the harem, that would be troublesome."
