302 Make You All Officials
“In my view, a selfish person who doesn’t care about his own blood and kin and only looks at his own future is not even worthy of being a human, much less an official in the court. If such a person becomes an official, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to our country?” Jiang Xi’s smile made Jiang Si’s heart turn cold.
Then, the eunuch waved his hand and had someone take out a sealed examination paper. All the examinees moved forward and began to answer the questions. This time, the questions were set by Jiang Xi. However, when the paper was opened, all the candidates were dumbfounded. They seemed to have underestimated the empress… The questions included the geography of the Northern Border, the local customs of other countries, and the analysis of the management methods of each country. The most difficult question to answer was, ‘if our country continues to expand, is there a reasonable and appropriate management method?’
The candidates who saw the question were all in disbelief. They had thought that Jiang Xi would at most come up with a question about how to protect the country from being coveted. After all, the Northern Border had always wanted to create trouble.
The retired emperor believed in the Doctrine of the Mean. Although he had never expanded his country’s territory, he had not lost it either.
The court examinations began. Outside the palace, Yang Fen’s tail was about to rise to the sky. “Did You Know? The one who’s going to be the empress in the throne room is my daughter, Jiang Xi. I’m the empress’ mother! Also, my son is going to be the top scholar soon. Jiang Xi will definitely let her brother be the top scholar. After all, we should not leave the fertile water for outsiders. She’s just a pregnant woman. How would she know how to be a proper empress? She’ll have to rely on Jiang Si to help her.”
Yang Fen had been bragging in Jing City these days, but all the women in Jing City knew what was going on. Anyone who was invited by Yang Fen did not come to the banquet at all. Yang Fen’s vanity was not satisfied, so she spent money to invite a few women from Happy Village to come over and let them listen to her bragging and their compliments. Her vanity was greatly satisfied. She even bought a lot of firecrackers, waiting for the release of the results to celebrate Jiang Si.
“When the time comes, ask Jiang Xi to arrange for the men in your family to be officials. When you were in the village, you took good care of Jiang Xi. She must repay you for your kindness.” Although Yang Fen knew that Jiang Xi did not like her, many people around her had told her that no matter what, she had raised Jiang Xi and that she should be grateful. They had also said that women could not be very capable and that Jiang Xi would have to rely on the Jiang Si to sit firmly on the throne. Although Yang Fen had not studied much, this made sense. She instantly felt smug. Even though Jiang Si had repeatedly told her not to show off, she still could not help but brag to others.
“If it weren’t for you, Jiang Xi might not have been able to survive. So, it’s only right for her to be filial to you. Even if she doesn’t take you into the palace, she should at least give you a posthumous title. When you go out, all the officials’ wives will have to kneel down and salute you.” A woman took Yang Fen’s hand and said affectionately. This woman was Yang Kun’s mother and Yang Fen’s sister-in-law.
Back then, Yang Kun had been engaged to Jiang Xi. However, the engagement was broken and he married Chen Zhaodi. Who knew that Chen Zhaodi had long been with her godfather and made Yang Kun a cuckold? Even the child in her stomach was her Godfather’s. After giving birth to the child, Yang Kun was so angry that he beat Chen Zhaodi until she became disabled. Now, Yang Kun had even become infertile. He was in a miserable state.
Speaking of which, the families in Happy Town who were engaged to Jiang Xi were all remorseful. They drank alcohol every day to numb themselves and wished they could give themselves a few big slaps. They had missed the opportunity to have the empress! They were men who could have been with the empress! Their future generations could also follow and become emperors, but they had all missed it!
Hearing this, Yang Fen was so happy that she slapped her thigh. “That’s right. I have to ask Jiang Xi to give me a title. Otherwise, I’ll go to the throne room and cry. She’s the empress now. She can’t leave me alone.” Ever since Yang Fen came to Jing City, she also knew the benefits of having power and even more so how important it was to have a backer.
“Sigh, Yang Fen, you’re so lucky. It’s a pity that Jiang Guoyou became a cripple.” The Yang family’s eldest wife face was filled with regret.
Yang Fen’s expression changed.
“I heard that the big families in Jing City have those kinds of servants, the kind that warm people’s beds. I heard that in winter, the young men are first allowed to sleep on the bed to warm it up. There are also young men responsible for warming up the Madams. However, we can’t do such things. We can only dream on.” While the women were talking, they smiled wretchedly. Only Yang Fen’s mouth was stiff.
