The emperor looked at Queen Zheng again.

"Empress, you have worked hard these days. The Spring Examination will be held soon. On the day of the examination, you will go to the palace with me."

Hearing the emperor's words, Queen Zheng laughed.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness, but this is a little against the rules."

When the emperor heard what Queen Zheng said, he looked at the Queen Mother and said.

"Empress, Emperor Taizu took Empress Taizu with him to select talents for the palace examination. You are my first wife. In my heart, you are worthy of the palace examination..."

When the Empress Dowager heard the Emperor's words, she looked at Queen Zheng and said with a smile.

"Empress, since the emperor wants to take you, you should go. This will also let the officials and the people of the world know the deep love between the emperor and the empress, and it will also be a good story."

Queen Zheng nodded.

After Queen Zheng returned to Yiku Palace, she clenched her hands into fists and the smile on her face had long disappeared.

The emperor didn't want to take her to select talents, nor did he want to show the deep love between the emperor and the empress. Instead, he wanted to divert the attention of all officials and many aristocratic families and pretend to be deeply in love in front of everyone, so that the affairs of the Zhaixing Tower could proceed quietly.

There are now a lot of wood and iron frames at the Zhaixing Tower, and there are hundreds of craftsmen there.

Since the emperor wanted to use her as a shield, she would not endure it.

Queen Zheng called her subordinates and gave them some instructions.

Palace.

Princess Zhaoyang sent invitations to Madam Jiang, Madam Fan and some other ladies, and Madam Li also received one.

Mrs. Li has not divorced Lord Li yet because of Miss Li.

Princess Zhaoyang intends to choose a husband for Miss Li, but she is still looking for one and has not decided yet. And this candidate must be carefully selected, and cannot be a mean person who forgets his loyalty when he sees profit. If Madam Li divorces, it may affect Miss Li's marriage.

"Meet Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chaoan."

Previously, Madam Jiang and some old ladies from Jiangnan families thought that Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chaoan were just so-so. In fact, they all thought their families were very powerful in Jiangnan. But there were so many families like them in Daxia that a single word from the superiors could destroy them.

Governor Jiang also warned Madam Jiang several times to be careful and not to make Princess Zhaoyang angry, otherwise he would lose his official position.

Princess Zhaoyang is a royal princess with real power. Although General Yun died in battle, it does not affect Princess Zhaoyang's status in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have sent Princess Zhaoyang to Jiangnan. Princess Zhaoyang is now in Jiangnan. Although she is accompanying Princess Chaoan to deal with crops, she is nominally an imperial envoy.

Madam Jiang and many old ladies and wives also heard about Princess Zhaoyang and County Lord Chao'an having Lord Li, the Jiangnan Salt Transport Commissioner, beaten with a stick. They helped Madam Li get her dowry back. Not only that, they also beat Aunt Tian.

The beating of Aunt Tian shocked them, but they also secretly felt that Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chao'an did the right thing. The wives of the wives hated the concubines who were favored by the master. Some concubines were well behaved, but some of them coveted things that did not belong to them and even attacked their legitimate sons and daughters.

In recent years, a lot of things have happened in the rear quarters of officials in Jiangnan.
