Chapter 127: Release the Dogs

Wei Yu brought Yin Lan to the new Chengming Palace, while the other palace people stayed in the old Chengming Palace. In order to distinguish the two palaces, Wei Yu named the old Chengming Palace Chengming Palace Fentuo.

I don’t know why, but after saying this, I wanted to shout “Anti-Qing and Restore Ming”.

Yinlan is her adopted sister now and no longer needs to work as a palace maid. Xiaolin and Xiaoshuang are the ones who serve her on a daily basis.

Yinsheng had originally been pardoned from the palace by Si Muzhen and was no longer considered a palace servant.

Wei Yu never expected that in recent years, Yinsheng used the reward given by the emperor to open a restaurant in the capital. He originally just wanted to test the waters, but now it has become bigger and bigger and has opened several branches.

He also bought several houses in the capital.

As expected of Yinsheng.

It was a good day. Wei Yu took A Yuan, Yin Lan and Xiao Lin to Chengming Palace.

"When will Yinsheng enter the palace today?" Wei Yu asked Yinlan.

Yin Lan said, "Yin Sheng probably won't be able to enter the palace today. He has a large family and has just returned to Beijing. Those restaurants are enough to keep him busy for several days."

However, when they arrived at Fenduo, Yinsheng had already arrived.

"Why did you enter the palace? Aren't you going to manage the inn?" Yinlan asked curiously.

Yinsheng smiled and said, "I thought I would be busy, but General Yuan has been helping me keep an eye on things all this time, so there isn't much to do."

After they entered the door, the first person to greet them was Tianci.

It pounced on Wei Yu with all its might, its tail almost leaving a shadow.

"The Queen is back, the Queen is finally back..."

"Everyone come quickly, the queen is back..."

"Good luck to the Queen~~"

"Get up, go do your own thing first, don't worry about us."

Wei Yu took A Yuan for a walk, and A Yuan and Tian Ci quickly established a friendship, chasing each other in the fields.

"Yes, it's vibrant and thriving."

Yinlan said proudly, "Of course I can supervise them every day."

"Great." Wei Yu gave Yin Lan a big thumbs up.

Wei Yu turned around and said to Xiao Lin, "Go tell the people in the imperial kitchen that there will be a big banquet at Chengming Palace at noon, for about twenty people. Have them prepare the dishes and send them over."

"Yes."

Wei Yu gathered everyone in the main hall.

"I've been away for so many years, and it's all thanks to you guys taking care of Chengming Palace. I just took a look around, and you guys are doing a great job."

"It's what servants and slaves should do."

"To reward you for your perseverance and dedication over the past four years, I will award you four years' salary. You can go to Yinsheng to collect it later."

Wei Yu’s idea was very simple, which was to make up for their previous year-end bonus and the dividends that had been promised to them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." The palace maids kowtowed together in gratitude excitedly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the queen returned to the palace, such immense wealth finally fell upon them.

"Everyone, get up. You deserve this."

Soon, someone from the imperial kitchen delivered the food, and he set up three tables and had a lively lunch.

A Yuan felt sleepy after dinner, so Wei Yu carried her back to the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei and Lord Qi request to see you." Xiao Lin came in and said in a low voice.

What are they here for?

Also, why can ministers enter the harem so easily now?

Wei Yu glanced at Tianci who was standing beside him and whispered, "Tianci, I have a difficult task for you. Can you help me keep an eye on A Yuan?"

Tianci jumped onto the bed and lay next to Ayuan as if he understood.

"Good dog. I'll reward you with a big bone stick later."

Tianci narrowed his eyes and grinned, as if he was laughing.

When Wei Yu arrived at the main hall, he found that not only Lord Wei and Lord Qi were there, but also the Minister of Works and the Minister of War.

As soon as he sat down, a palace maid came in and announced that Bai Shuyang, Imperial Physician Wen and Imperial Physician Chen had arrived.

"So, what are you looking for me for now?"

A group of people started chattering at once. Wei Yu couldn't hear clearly, but she vaguely heard someone asking her to become an official...

The magic is so magical, I must have heard it wrong.

"Stop." Wei Yu nodded at Doctor Chen, "Let's start with the elders."

Doctor Chen was stunned, "This..."

The Minister of Works raised his hand gracefully, "Wait a minute, this old fellow is only thirty-seven this year, and this subordinate is the oldest, I am forty-six this year."

Wei Yu felt embarrassed when she looked at Doctor Chen's face, which looked like he was nearly sixty years old. She then looked at Doctor Wen and felt relieved.

"Then Sir Song, please speak first."

"Your Majesty, I would like you to take up a position in the Ministry of Works..."

Haha, it’s true.

"Since when have women in our country been allowed to serve as officials?"

She had never heard Si Muzhen mention it either.

"just."

Wei Yu: “…”

Bai Shuyang interrupted and said, "Actually, it's not sudden. My father proposed this policy two years ago, and Prince Li and Prince Rong were also very supportive."

"However, there has never been a precedent for women serving as officials before, so it has only been implemented today."

Lord Song added, "Originally, many stubborn old men had been opposing this, but Your Majesty had the living example of Your Majesty to silence them."

"So, is the Queen coming?"

"No." Wei Yu refused.

It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.

Unless she is given a raise.

"But……"

The Minister of War interrupted Lord Song, "But what? Didn't you see that the Queen didn't want to go to your Ministry of Works?"

"Your Majesty's refusal was very wise. What's so good about the Ministry of Works? All they do every day is rough labor. Our Ministry of War is better. Your Majesty only needs to use her hands and draw a few designs."

"Your Majesty, please look~~"

The Minister of War rubbed his hands and looked at Wei Yu expectantly.

"Your Majesty, if you want to come, please come to our Dasangnongsi. We can have a life-and-death friendship." Lord Qi said.

"The Empress and I are co-authors of the same book. Over the past few years, the people from our Dasan Nongsi have accompanied her on her travels, and we have a close working relationship. The Empress should definitely come to our Dasan Nongsi."

Lord Qi bumped into Wei Jianjie and asked, "Lord Wei, what do you think?"

Wei Jianjie agreed, "Yes."

Changing the subject, "Where's Yuan?"

Lord Qi: “…”

"Yuzuka is taking a nap."

Lord Qi is beating him madly, what are you talking about at this time, A Yuan, help me with my mouth.

Wei Jianjie seemed to have ignored Lord Qi's hint, and just told Wei Yu that he was going to see A Yuan and left.

Lord Qi was so angry that he felt that the person was not as good as he thought.

At this time, Doctor Chen spoke weakly, "How about your Majesty come to the Imperial Hospital to work?"

Everything else is fine, but this Wei Yu is really not good enough.

"I appreciate your kindness, and thank you for thinking so highly of me. However, I'm tired and want to rest."

Master Qi refused to give up, "Then what about the back..."

"The rest of the way is not possible either. My sister-in-law is getting married, and I have to take good care of her wedding. I don't have time, so please go back."

Lord Qi felt he could struggle a little longer, "What about after the wedding?"

"It's still not working." Wei Yu quickly refused. "To be honest, I have a disease called: I will die if I go to work."

"That's perfect." Doctor Chen pushed Master Qi aside and said, "Your Majesty, please come to the Imperial Hospital. We will treat you."

"This..." Wei Yu was speechless.

The others disagreed, and a new round of arguing began.

Master Qi said, "Good doctor Chen, why are you butting in? Go back to your Imperial Physician's Office and don't cause trouble."

"How dare you talk about Doctor Chen? The Queen Mother has said so much, which is obviously a rejection of you. You should go back to your Dasannongsi." Lord Song said.

After Lord Song finished speaking, the Minister of War could no longer sit still. "You're no better. I was the one who first suggested looking for the Empress, and you actually got there first. How shameless!"

Several people were arguing until their faces were red.

At this time, even the Minister of Rites came to intervene, "Your Majesty must come to the Ministry of Rites first..."

"When did you get here, kid? Get out of here... The Queen is the most suitable person for our Ministry of Industry."

The scene fell into chaos again.

A gray figure rushed in.

Wei Yu waved his hand and said, "Close the door and release the dog."

After she finished, she jumped and grabbed Tianci's dog leash, "Tianci, be fierce to them~~"

Tianci barked at them wildly, rushed forward madly, baring his teeth, and looked very ferocious and majestic.

But Tianci pounced too fiercely and the leash slipped out of Wei Yu's hand.

Tianci became obedient in an instant when he heard the leash fall to the ground, a very obedient one.

It squatted on the ground, grinning and wagging its tail at the people it had just been mean to.

"Ah...this..."

Wei Yu tentatively pulled the leash, and Tianci immediately turned into a vicious dog.

Is this what it means to “take advantage of the power of others”?

He is worthy of being a dog in the palace.

Several ministers took their leave.

The Minister of Rites walked a step slower and was stopped by Wei Yu.

"Sir, wait a minute."

"Could it be that the Queen wants to..."

Wei Yu raised his hand to stop him, "I didn't."

"Oh."

"I'd like to ask you for a small favor."

Wei Yu's 'flattering' look made the Minister of Rites inexplicably uneasy.

"My Lady, please, please speak..."
