Chapter 413 Female Officer
Chapter 413 Female Officer
"My Lady, what did Lady Min think when she suddenly came to us to seek a position as a female official for her niece?"
Xiaoji carefully supported Queen Shen Ningyue, who was found to be pregnant with twins, and walked slowly with a frown on her face, the confusion in her eyes undisguised.
"I just can't figure it out. She is the granddaughter of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the niece of Concubine Min. Her fiancé died and she has never been married. Every year, there are many young talents who want to become Jiang Shaozong Bo's disciples. It shouldn't be difficult to pick a reliable and promising man if you choose carefully."
Jiang Lanzhi's father, Jiang Yulan's grandfather, was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites. He was in his early sixties, but he was still vigorous and in good health. It seemed that he could work for another ten years.
The Ministry of Rites was in charge of culture, education, and the imperial examinations, and selected talents for Dayong. It would be easy for the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites to find a suitable grandson-in-law. As long as he put some effort, Jiang Yulan was already preparing for her marriage.
"With the care of Young Master Jiang and Concubine Min, marrying a talented person from an ordinary family and being the head of the family is better than entering the palace and trembling with fear to serve the nobles. It's not like I'm entering the palace to be a queen."
Shen Ningyue chuckled: "Are you speaking up for her or for yourself? I asked you a long time ago whether you wanted to marry a reliable imperial scholar or a handsome guard, and you said you wanted to stay with me forever and never get married."
"Now you think being a female official is worse than getting married and becoming a mistress?"
Shen Ningyue stretched out her finger and gently poked Xiaoji's forehead, scolding him.
Seeing Xiaoji was about to refute, she continued jokingly, "You are already thirty-five, almost thirty-six, so it's not impossible for you to get married. I will help you find an official who is a widower and marry you to him as his second wife?"
Shen Ningyue raised her hand and covered Xiaoji's mouth with a smile.
“Although you are a little older, I am here with you. I have been the queen for twenty years and my position is stable. As my most favored female official, it is not difficult for you to marry a high-ranking official.
You have become a lady of the imperial family. I often summon you to the palace to talk to you. Who dares to treat you badly? Everyone has to flatter you. "
The more Shen Ningyue thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible.
If she spread the word, I think there would be many people who would ask her to marry Xiaoji.
Although most of the people who rush to her to propose to her to marry Xiaoji are definitely opportunistic, it is okay to be a little opportunistic. Sometimes the boundary between ambition and opportunism is not so obvious.
We are all working people. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There is no need to worry about so many things.
As long as she sits firmly in the throne, even if Xiaoji accidentally chooses someone with bad intentions, as long as they are not stupid, they will not offend Xiaoji. Instead, they will pamper and respect her even more.
When you get old, becoming an old lord, an old lady or an ancestor at home, wouldn't that be more satisfying than being an old nanny in the palace?
Even though she passed away, her children, the second princess, the third princess, the ninth prince, the tenth prince and the eleventh prince were all raised by Xiaoji.
"No, my queen. I'm just saying a few sarcastic words from the perspective of common sense. If you want me to get married, I don't want to." Xiaoji looked refusal.
"You are afraid of having a child. Don't worry about that. Look, I have given birth to five children and they are all fine. Now I am pregnant again. You are the same age as me. If I can get pregnant, you can too. My mother is also an old woman who gave birth to many brothers and sisters for me."
"Your Majesty, let's get back to the topic of Miss Jiang. Don't you think Concubine Min is afraid of encountering the same thing as Concubine Miao?" Xiao Ji quickly brought the topic back to where it had gone off track.
"She is different from Concubine Miao. Concubine Miao has a shallow foundation in the palace, while Concubine Man entered the palace through a formal selection process.
Concubine Min has a son and a daughter, and the Eighth Prince has grown up and married a princess. Why should we be afraid of a niece who enters the palace as a female official?"
