When I get busy, I feel like there is not enough time.
As a result, the beauties waited from autumn to winter, and no one cared about them even after they submitted several memorials.
Finally, the Queen had no choice but to come and ask Emperor Ming Yan directly. Emperor Ming Yan told the Queen to handle it.
The Queen was not enthusiastic about this matter either, so she set the date for the palace selection for November 15th.
That’s fine. Although I still have to wait nearly a month, at least there is a day.
Yan Shiyue has been going to the palace every day recently.
The only special treatment she enjoyed was that she did not have to attend the morning court, but after the court session, basically all matters were related to her and she had to be present.
One day, Emperor Mingyan called her over, and the Fourth Prince was also there, so he pointed at the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince said, "Yue'er, I want to go to the Ministry of Commerce to learn from you. Do you have any objection?"
"Ah?" Yan Shiyue said without hesitation: "Of course I have objections! Do you know that a family of a thousand people can only be managed by one person? A team, especially a new one, does not need multiple leaders! You can come if you want, unless you are like Si Nian and Zenan, who listen to me completely and are not allowed to have any opinions."
...
...
The fourth prince did not expect to be rejected. He was stunned for a moment and frowned, "No opinions are allowed? What kind of logic is this? Gathering ideas and learning from others is the way to accomplish things."
Yan Shiyue said: "My brain circuits are different. I hate it when someone keeps asking me why when I'm doing something, or why this isn't right or that isn't right. I also hate it when someone adds their own understanding to my orders. What I want is obedience."
The fourth prince wanted to speak again, but Emperor Mingyan waved his hand and said, "That's enough!"
The Fourth Prince said no more.
Emperor Mingyan said, "Yue'er, go ahead."
Yan Shiyue left.
Then the next day I heard that the Fourth Prince was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, assisting in the administration of the Ministry and concurrently in charge of Deshan Gold.
Although the Deshan Gold had never been used much, a considerable amount of money had accumulated over the years. Emperor Ming Yan meant that since this part of the funds was set up for "virtue and kindness", it should be used, for example, disaster relief for natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places, and the promotion of agricultural tools by the Ministry of Industry this time, all of which could use the Deshan Gold, and it was not necessary to use the national treasury every time.
Although the Ministry of Commerce made a lot of money, military expenditures increased dramatically after the abolition of the military system. With the increase in income and expenditure, the Ministry of Commerce was not very rich, so it tried to save as much as possible.
After the grain and cotton issue came to an end, Emperor Ming Yan issued an edict to hold a special examination the next year.
This time, Zhao Kuangyin, whom she knew, would participate in the imperial examination, and Tang Junchen from Jubao Village would probably also participate.
It's just right, otherwise, she said that Zhao Kuangyin was not allowed to marry unless he passed the imperial examination. By the time she passed the imperial examination, the girl would be a little old.
But in this case, the assessment of the Ministry of Commerce must be kept up.
Yan Shiyue thought, why not make an introductory textbook on economics? Add the new accounting method, and then use it as a basis for the exam, mainly testing the understanding and application of it.
No matter how knowledgeable Xu Wenqu is, he can't help with this matter. Yan Shiyue can only do it by himself... He writes furiously day after day, with the same enthusiasm as when he took the college entrance examination.
When he saw Yan Shitu popping out from outside for the third time, Yan Shiyue couldn't pretend not to see him anymore. He could only put down his pen helplessly and stretched himself: "Third brother, come in."
Yan Shitu came in and smiled: "Yue'er, you have worked hard."
Yan Shiyue said: "I will enter the palace today and go to Chuxiu Garden to see your sweetheart right away... So, what else do you want to do?"
"I didn't mean to do anything," Yan Shitu said embarrassedly, "I just wanted to tell her that I had asked for the arranged marriage, so that she wouldn't worry."
Well, what teenager hasn't been blinded by love at some point? This idiot's IQ is not high to begin with, and if it drops further...what else can she expect?
However, Yan Shitu looked like a wife-obsessed man, and he would never be able to mediate between his mother and his wife. Yan Shiyue said, "Don't be like this in front of your mother. Come to me if you have any problems."
"I know, I know," Yan Shitu said, "Second brother beat me three times a day and lectured me, but I pretended not to care at all in front of my mother!"
Yan Shiyue was very happy, and then he packed up and went into the palace.
Only she can do this, no one else can do it. Even if Meng Min can enter the palace, it will be difficult for her to enter Chu Xiuyuan. Besides, what's the point of seeing her after just meeting her!
Yan Shiyue told the eunuch at the door not to inform anyone, and then walked in.
Usually, concubines would be selected for the palace after a few days of entering it. However, this time, three months had passed and even the female officials in charge had become lazy. The concubines inside were walking around leisurely as if they were at a garden party.
Yan Shiyue was secretly scoring in her mind with great interest, when she heard a scream. A beautiful girl came out from behind the green plants next to her and suddenly pounced on her.
Wei Xin was startled and kicked the man away, then pounced on him and pinned him down.
The next moment, Wu Fangzi rushed out. Yan Shiyue just looked up, and the two of them exchanged a very brief glance. Wu Fangzi rushed over, shouting, "Lin Yanyan, I won't let you go!"
Yan Shiyue's kung fu was learned from Huo Qijing, after all. Although she had no idea what happened, she knew Wu Fangzi did it on purpose, and she was a little angry. She simply took a wrong step, turned over neatly, and kicked the person away.
The shadow guards whistled and a group of them came down instantly, with swords and knives raised, pressing against Wu Fangzi. She wanted to be ruthless and suddenly raised her body, but the shadow guards of course would not be polite to her and pressed against her with the tips of their swords, causing her skin to break and bleed.
Wu Fangzi groaned in pain, then became frightened and shrieked, "It's me!"
The female official in charge came over in a hurry and said from a distance: "Who is causing trouble in Chuxiu Garden? He doesn't want to live anymore..."
As soon as she saw Yan Shiyue, she was so scared that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees on the ground: "Your Highness!"
Yan Shiyue smiled faintly and said, "Those who know this are Chu Xiuyuan, and those who don't think it's a gangster incident. I just entered the door and two people flew out. If I hadn't had some skills, I would have been dead by now... I have never seen such a fresh scene in the palace. Tell me, what's going on?"
The female official was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly: "This eunuch deserves death, Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare my life!"
Wei Xin shouted, "Just ask the question! Our master doesn't want to hear nonsense!"
The female official paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "This Wu Xiunu is good at martial arts, and she is also straightforward... The eunuchs have tried to restrain her, but it is useless..."
At this moment, the person Wei Xin was holding suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness! The concubine Lin Yanyan has something to report!"
Wu Fangzi screamed, "How dare you talk nonsense!"
Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows. She said lazily, "I don't have the time to listen to you quarreling." Then she turned and walked away.
Wu Fangzi breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Lin Yanyan fiercely.
