Mu Jieyu remembered her biological mother's words before she died very clearly. She clearly said that she was a descendant of the Ning family. Naturally, she believed her biological mother. But at this moment, Emperor Hong'an would never lie to her, because there was no need. If she was not a time traveler,
He also doesn’t know his nickname. So, there must be some unknown secret.
Mu Jieyu's thoughts were spinning, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Instead, he said softly: "Mothers in this world always want their children to be well. That queen must be a loving mother."
"She... is really kind-hearted." Emperor Hong'an's soft voice contained a bit of complicated emotions, like nostalgia, remorse, and even a little bit of hatred...
Mu Jieyu didn't know why this emotion came about, so he didn't answer any more words.
Feeling the silence around him, the oppressive emperor realized that he had shown his emotions in front of a little girl, and immediately regained his seriousness that was indistinguishable from joy to anger: "This time, you saved me, saved King Rong, saved Ying.
Your Majesty, you are also taking care of Prince Jing’s body, and you have done a great job.”
"It is my duty as a minister to share your Majesty's worries. I dare not take credit for it." Facing the unpredictable emperor, Mu Jieyu was still very cautious. Regardless of whether he was sincere or fake, he answered humbly.
"Your father has done a great job in assisting King Rong this time, but he has just been transferred to the imperial capital. It would be unfair to praise him again. I have always been a person who knows rewards and punishments. I will not forget your contribution." Emperor Hong'an paused and then said,
"I am in need of a smart female official, would you like to come to Zihuan Palace?"
Both the Da Jing Dynasty and the previous dynasties had the position of female official. This female official was not a palace maid, but a person with real rank and status. The rank was the same as the imperial edict. The female official also had the power to be in charge of the palace maids, and more often she supervised the concubines and assisted the concubines in managing the house.
The responsibilities of the palace, this is the female official in the harem. The Zihuan Palace, the emperor's palace, is different. It not only has the power to take charge of the maids in each palace, but also is responsible for the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and reasonably arranges the emperor's time. It is somewhat similar to the modern political secretary and
Of course, if you are a life-secretary, you will not be a bed partner.
Historically, only noble ladies with higher status and both talents and virtues in the noble families were selected. They were replaced every five years. This was a good job for most noble ladies, but Mu Jieyu didn't want it.
Mu Jieyu, who already knew enough about this time and space, knew that from the previous dynasty, there was an unwritten rule that female officials would not marry anyone who was not a clan relative. This was because a woman’s best youth was dedicated to the emperor’s family. When their term of office expired, most of the marriages were granted by the emperor himself.
Point them out to the clan members, and even better to the princes. This is the real reason why those noble ladies flock to them, because they can fly up a branch and become a phoenix. But Mu Jieyu doesn't want to get involved with the royal family. Once she becomes a female official of Zihuan Palace,
Not only do I have to deal with the emperor's relatives every day, but I also have to deal with concubines in the harem. It's too tiring and unpleasant.
"Why? Not willing?" Seeing Mu Jieyu's delay in answering, Emperor Hong'an guessed what Mu Jieyu was thinking, but he still said, "Do you know that this is a blessing that no one can ask for?"
"His honey, my arsenic, return to Your Majesty, I don't want to." Mu Jieyu bit his lip and decided to tell the truth.
"Tell me why you don't want to." Emperor Hong'an's expression did not change. He turned around and walked slowly towards the stone table on one side. He lifted up his dragon robe and sat down gracefully. He picked up the tea handed over by Eunuch Su and took a sip.
