"It seems that all the ministers agree with my proposal. Therefore, from the date the decree is promulgated, it shall be forbidden for anyone to buy or sell slaves. Ministers, please do not knowingly violate this law."
"We dare not." They finally gave in.
Wei Wangqing also breathed a sigh of relief. It always took her a lot of talking to persuade these old fogies. It was really tiring!
"By the way, this matter will be entrusted to Minister Meng for supervision."
It's her again!
Many court officials thought to themselves, "He really is receiving endless favors!"
"Furthermore, Minister Meng has made meritorious contributions in supervising the establishment of schools in various places, and has been appointed as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
A third-rank official!
The officials were in uproar.
Meng Jiujiu is truly something else; if she doesn't get promoted, she doesn't get promoted at all, but when she does, she skips a grade!
If it was the same last time, and it's the same this time, then next time he'll be promoted to a first-rank official, right?
Could the rumors in Kyoto be true?
Lord Meng wouldn't really be with His Majesty...
Otherwise, how could he have risen so quickly?
She accomplished in a short time what other ministers took years or even decades to achieve.
She's only been in the government for less than four years, right?
Looking at the officials of her rank, they were not exactly gray-haired, but they were already middle-aged.
She alone, in the prime of her life at Tsinghua University, was so radiant and beautiful.
It stands out like a crane among chickens, easily spotted at a glance.
This time, however, no one dared to offend her; they could only try to win her over and curry favor.
After all, her position held the power to control the lives of many ministers.
Meng Jiujiu, however, felt that her hard times were about to begin again.
His Majesty really treats her like a handy brick, moving her wherever he needs her!
Minister Yao of the Court of Judicial Review was extremely envious. When would His Majesty be able to see her?
She wouldn't dare to steal Lord Meng's favor, but she would be happy if she could get even a little bit of attention from him!
After the court session, Wei Wangqing ordered someone to investigate the Prime Minister's recent movements.
Only then did they realize that there was a favored servant in the Prime Minister's mansion who was originally a slave.
However, Wei Wangqing did not think that the Prime Minister liked this young servant very much, or rather, it would be laughable to talk about liking him.
If you truly like someone and care about them, you should do everything you can to make it happen.
To free the other party from slavery and enable them to live an upright life.
But now it seems that the Prime Minister simply wants to make the other party his own.
However, after Wei Wangqing investigated the matter thoroughly, she stopped paying attention to it, since it didn't really concern her.
In the end, this was nothing more than the Prime Minister's private matter.
However, she harbored her own selfish motives while in court.
But it's not a big mistake; at most, it's just a blurring of the lines between public and private matters.
Wei Wangqing showed no intention of pursuing the matter further.
Prime Minister Yang was usually quite cautious, and this was the only time she went slightly astray.
Wei Wangqing found out about it in an instant.
If Yang Ru knew, she would probably be heartbroken.
Once the matter was announced, Wei Wangqing no longer concerned himself with it and left it to his subordinates to handle.
When asked what her responsibilities were, she replied that they were responsible for taking care of her husband and children.
Wei Wangqing spent her days reading and practicing martial arts with the children and taking care of her husband during her pregnancy. Her life couldn't be more comfortable.
But I have to say, her eldest son really does resemble her; a genius is a genius after all!
Whether it's studying literature or martial arts, her son grasps it instantly.
Ahem, as for the second son, let's ignore him for now.
Soon, spring turned to autumn, and Chen Zhiyan's belly grew bigger and bigger, and her due date was fast approaching.
"Mother, Mother, Father's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Will it burst in the end?" Wei Yingling asked with a worried look.
Wei Wangqing was incredibly fond of his adoring expression, so she went over and rubbed his face, saying, "No, your little sister will be out soon."
Ayan's belly is much smaller now than when she was pregnant with the two brothers.
Wei Yingling was incredibly excited when he heard this; he and his brother had been waiting for it for a long time.
But my younger sister is too shy and always refuses to come out.
When his younger sister comes out, he will definitely teach her a lesson and not let her be so shy.
Chen Zhiyan looked at the two clowns without saying a word.
The wife always said that Zhen'er looked like her.
Anyone with eyes can see who she is.
Now the children have grown up a bit, especially Ling'er, who has the shadow of the mistress in her eyebrows and eyes, except perhaps in the bridge of her nose.
On the contrary, Zhen'er became more and more composed, and her appearance became more and more like hers.
"Zhen'er, come here." Chen Zhiyan beckoned to his eldest son.
Wei Yingzhen obediently walked to his father's side.
"It's really a waste for us dads to be looking after these two rascals all day long."
Wei Yingzhen's lips twitched visibly.
Wei Wangqing and Wei Yingling immediately turned around and looked at them.
"Ayan, what do you mean?" Wei Wangqing asked in a sinister tone.
Chen Zhiyan wasn't afraid of her at all; his wife was just a paper tiger in front of him, easily blown away.
"Well, it means exactly what it says, my wife. You're getting more and more childish. Even Zhen'er is more mature than you."
"Ah, Ayan, you've really gone too far." Wei Wangqing pretended to be angry and walked towards him.
Wei Wangqing also felt that Ayan had become increasingly domineering towards her in the past two years.
However, this is something that has been fostered over time.
Or rather, it was the result of her deliberate cultivation.
“How can Zhen’er be as mature as me, right, Zhen’er?” After saying that, she glanced at her eldest son.
Wei Yingzhen didn't respond; he didn't want to get involved in his parents' war.
But while he may not participate, others may actively participate.
Wei Yingling hurriedly raised her little hand, afraid of being left out, "Me, me, me, Ling'er is the most mature."
