There was also an imperial edict with the imperial seal on it, but nothing was written on it.
He looked at the silent Tu Qingyu and spoke again, "Xiaojiu, I know you are a man of great ability. Your skills are no less than a man's. In fact, if I didn't know how to fight, I would not be as good as you.
Just do whatever you want to do, I just want you to live freely.
These palace walls are the glory I earned for you, not a cage to trap you."
Tu Qingyu once again realized that the affection of the man in front of her was no less than that of any of her 'ex'.
She put down what she was holding, reached out to hold his face, looked into his eyes, and said seriously and firmly: "Then leave this matter to me."
She was given full responsibility for the imperial examinations and became the first queen to appear in the court and walk out of the palace.
At the beginning, there were naturally voices of opposition everywhere. The imperial examination undoubtedly harmed the interests of the aristocratic families, but under Helian Lingfeng, the people who were killed the most were the aristocratic families.
Moreover, there are more scholars in the world who suffer from lack of connections than the gentry.
Even ordinary people knew that once the imperial examination was implemented, it would mean that they would have the opportunity to change their status.
Even if the chance is slim.
After public opinion was no longer one-sided, all the prescriptions and economies controlled by the gentry were taken back one by one by Tu Qingyu and Helian Lingfeng.
Tu Qingyu was indeed more capable than many men, and Helian Lingfeng suppressed them with all his strength. Soon these voices gradually dissipated with the end of the first imperial examination.
The imperial court was in need of personnel, and everyone from scholars, juren to jinshi had their place to use their talents.
For ordinary people, even if they passed the imperial examination and opened a private school, it would bring honor to their family.
Although the imperial examination system had just begun, such situations were rare.
Most of the people who study are rich people.
But at least, those who are selected are all talented people.
Sun Yue never entered the Imperial Hospital, but followed Tu Qingyu and became the first female official to enter the court.
Although he didn't have a clear title, everyone who saw him now called him "Lord Sun."
Some people saw that an outsider could be so successful by following Tu Qingyu, so they naturally wanted to get some of the benefits too.
That day, Madam Sijie entered the palace, followed by Tu Qingyu's aunt.
She was Madam Sijie's youngest sister. She was unwilling to accept the marriage arranged by her parents and insisted on marrying a guard of a small tribal chief.
Now that Tu Qingyu has become the queen and Madam Sijie has become the princess, she will naturally follow suit and rise to higher positions.
Her husband was promoted to a third-rank general, and her son also entered the Imperial City Department.
But she still felt it was not enough, so this time she asked Madam Sijie to bring her into the palace under the pretext of wanting to see the twins.
Mrs. Sijie thought that she had not seen the twins since they were born, so she agreed.
But she didn't expect that when she entered the palace, she saw Tu Qingyu and grabbed her hand and asked, "My queen, your little cousin has grown up. I wonder if you can find a home for her."
Mrs. Sijie frowned. She really didn't expect her sister to say such a thing.
Tu Qingyu broke free from her hand and walked to the head of the table to sit down. "What kind of fate do you want, aunt?"
The woman's eyes turned and finally looked at Sun Yue who was standing next to Tu Qingyu.
"She is an outsider who can become an official. My requirements are not high. You can ask His Majesty to marry her. Either a prince or a duke is fine.
After all, I can't stand women showing up in public."
When it comes to showing up in public, there is a hint of disgust in her eyes.
In fact, according to her idea, it would be best if she could enter the palace and marry His Majesty.
But she also realized that His Majesty was probably bewitched by her niece and would not accept another woman in the short term.
Tu Qingyu propped himself up on the chair and looked at her leisurely, "I remember that your daughter just turned fourteen this year."
"Well, Fourteen is not young anymore. If the marriage is granted now, it will take a year or two to prepare for the wedding. Wouldn't he be just the right age by then?"
She nodded. "I understand."
My aunt's eyes lit up. "You agree?"
She didn't say that she knew, but she felt that Helian Lingfeng was too good to these relatives, so that each of them became a little greedy.
"Mom, Cancan misses you, you should go see her." She still had things to deal with and didn't want to waste time here.
"Okay." Mrs. Sijie also received her signal, stood up and dragged her aunt away.
When the aunt left, she shouted, "Don't forget, this is your sister's lifelong event."
Sun Yue, who was standing next to him, had such a frown that he could kill a fly.
Not to mention that this was the ancient times where there was a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, even in modern times, people would not ask for help in this way.
Tu Qingyu patted her with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go. We still have things to do."
Helian Lingfeng over there also heard about this matter, and when he came back in the evening, he waited for Tu Qingyu to speak.
Unexpectedly, Tu Qingyu didn't say anything, and instead didn't look very happy.
He immediately understood that this was because he didn't like those relatives' excessive demands.
The next day, my aunt's husband was demoted to an insignificant fifth-rank general.
My aunt wanted to make a fuss, but was suppressed by Mrs. Sijie.
In the days that followed, the couple were very busy. The dynasty was developing rapidly and time passed by in a flash.
Three years later, Helian Jin held his younger sister's hand with his left hand and his older sister's hand with his right hand, and the three little kids were strolling in the imperial garden, followed by a line of palace maids.
"Brother~ Look, that's a lucky butterfly~" Helian Xuan pointed at the butterflies flying among the flowers not far away, her bright eyes full of joy.
Helian Jin corrected seriously, "It's a butterfly."
"Brother, Fudie..."
"Okay, okay, Fudie, Fudie." He really couldn't stand the tearful look on his sisters' eyes.
He let go of his sister's hand and said, "Go play."
Helian Xuan pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, let's play together..."
Helian Can beside him also nodded, "Brother, come with me."
He wanted to refuse; he didn't like chasing butterflies.
He preferred to be taken to the imperial study by his father to listen to government affairs.
He also liked his mother talking about military strategy with him.
Obviously these sisters also like it, but they still have to come out from time to time to catch butterflies.
Watched by these two pairs of eyes, he finally nodded and said, "Let's go and catch butterflies."
When the three little guys were tired from playing and lay down in the pavilion to rest, he thought there was nothing wrong with catching butterflies.
Such days are so happy that he often wonders whether his current happiness is just a dream.
My parents are in love, and my father has no other women. They are a real family.
No matter how busy their father and mother were, they would always make time to spend with them.
It's too beautiful, too beautiful to be true.
"Are you the prince and princess?" A childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
