On the 26th day of the first lunar month, the weather cleared.

In the Ji Palace, you can see busy attendants and palace maids everywhere.

First of all, we need to clean up the snow everywhere in the palace. This cannot be sloppy. If the nobles in the palace fall down because of the snow on the ground, this sin will be a great deal.

Although the king, the queen and others were very generous, the servants and palace maids below dared not be careless at all.

In the courtyard where Queen Su Ya lives, the female official Xiaoyun is commanding many servants and palace maids.

"You two come here and clean up the snow here."

"Okay, we know." The two palace maids who were ordered agreed.

"Come here and pick all the lanterns hanging on the corridors and trees. Remember to count the quantity and tell the warehouse to wipe the glass on the lanterns clean and keep them safely for the next time."

"Okay, please don't worry, we will count it clearly." Several attendants also hurriedly agreed.

In the courtyard of Queen Su Ya, the attendants and palace maids were chattering, each busy with their own affairs.

The attendants and palace maids in the Ji Palace were in a very happy mood.

According to the regulations in the palace, the salaries of these attendants and palace maids in the palace are all paid according to their positions and levels. And, like the salaries of the court officials, they increase every two years. During the Chinese New Year and holidays, there will be rewards.

As long as you enter the palace, you don’t have to consider the issue of food and clothing. For example, clothes, all year round, the palace maids all distribute four new clothes to these servants and palace maids.

After Ji Kang ascended the throne, he had issued an edict that Yan State would no longer recruit officials, that is, eunuchs.

The current attendant is responsible for the life of the palace. As for the palace maids in the palace, usually after they reach the age of eighteen, they will be rewarded, released from the palace and arranged positions.

A school was also set up in the palace, and whether it was a servant or a palace maid, they had to study in the school.

For officials in the Yan State court, Ji Kang's private life is too self-disciplined.

So far, Ji Kang's wife is Queen Su Ya, wife Qingzhu and Qingmei, and a total of three.

Although the Empress Dowager Yan Ji Zhao repeatedly suggested to Ji Kang in person, hoping that Ji Kang would favor more people and give birth to more grandchildren for herself, Ji Kang always smiled and was unmoved when facing such situations.

This has a lot to do with Ji Kang's education and living habits in his previous life.

In Ji Kang's previous life, he passed the civil service exam and went to work in the village.

At that time, Ji Kang's old leader said this to Ji Kang:

"The most important thing for a person to reach in the future is not to be greedy for money or lust. In simple terms, you must take good care of your two "bas" and go up and down."

"That is to say, you have to be self-disciplined. There are many temptations outside. Once you can't control yourself, you will be completely ruined in your life. So many people have suffered great losses on this, so you must learn from it."

Ji Kang remembered the old leader's warning firmly. Although he was born into a peasant family in his previous life, he still became the head of a village when he was less than 30 years old. This was already rare in the county at that time.

There is a saying that "the top is imitating and the bottom is imitating. If your own king is like this, the officials below will do it.

Think about it, your own king has only three wives. Is it appropriate if you have a lot of wives and concubines in the yard?

When it was almost dark, palace lanterns were lit in the corridors and palaces in various parts of Ji Palace.

In the bedroom of Queen Su Ya, the lights were bright, and Su Ya was listening to Xiao Yun's reward.

"The Queen, the people in the palace are praising you and the Queen Mother's kindness, and are very generous to the people in the palace!"

Xiaoyun grew up with Queen Su Ya since childhood, and can be said to be Su Ya's most trusted person.

In the courtyard of Queen Suya, there is great power. Apart from Ji Kang and Suya, she can rank third.

In this era, countries do not have so many constraints for women.

Women were officials in courts in various countries. Take Yan State as an example. When Ji Kang learned that Yan State had female generals fighting in the Western Zhou Dynasty and inspecting the border, he couldn't believe it.

After checking, there is indeed, and it is true.

At that time, Ji Kang muttered to the boss manager Ji Mao, "This is the Mulan of my Yan Kingdom!"

The boss manager Ji Mao has already had considerable immunity to many of Ji Kang's words, so he is not surprised by it.

According to Ji Palace, any woman who is released from the palace or married woman is generally not called and cannot enter the palace again.

Xiaoyun was already at the age of being married, but she was unwilling to leave the palace, so Queen Su Ya no longer forced herself. She planned to release Xiaoyun after a while.

Seeing that Xiaoyun had made great progress now and actually knew to compliment her, Su Ya couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Yun, many of the regulations in this palace are the grace of the queen mother, and I dare not be greedy for merit."

As the queen of Yan State, Su Ya's temperament has changed a lot over the years and is very graceful. In the words of the Queen Mother Ji Zhao, it is to "residize the energy and replenish the body."

But after all, it was the confidant of Queen Su Ya, Xiaoyun still dared to say a lot.

"Queen, last year, our Yan State occupied the four northern counties of Zhao State. In my opinion, all countries in the world will sooner or later be destroyed by our Yan State. By then, Queen, you can become the emperor queen."

Su Ya tapped Xiaoyun's forehead like in the past and said, "You open your mouth! As you said, you can't hold on to yourself. You can't stop talking to the public. You can't say this to the public. Do you know?"

"I understand, I understand." Xiaoyun replied with a smile.

"By the way, Xiaoyun, please send someone to the Venerable Palace to see when the king will come back. It's time for dinner now." Su Ya said to Xiaoyun calmly.

"Okay, Queen, I'll send someone to the front and take a look." Xiaoyun agreed.

Seeing Xiaoyun walk out of the hall, Su Ya couldn't help but start to ponder.

The current development status of Yan State can be said to be the best among the Central Plains countries. As his father Su Fu told him, Yan State is just around the corner according to its current development trend.

Ji Kang also respects herself very much, but the only regret is that Ji Kang has not appointed his eldest son Ji Hua as the prince until now, which makes Su Ya a little confused.

"Hua'er, the queen of mother will definitely make you the crown prince." Su Ya said softly.

Just as he thought of this, Xiaoyun ran in.

"Qi Bi, the Queen, has come out of the Palace of Kings and is returning to the palace."

Su Ya stood up and said to Xiaoyun: "Let's go, let's go to the Queen Mother's place and wait for the king."

Xiaoyun served Su Ya, put on a thick robe, and walked out of the bedroom together.

Within one day, dinner was the favorite time for Queen Mother Ji Zhao. My son, daughter-in-law and her three little guys were reunited together and were lively. In the eyes of Queen Mother Ji Zhao, it was better than anything else.

Ji Kang is very supportive of his mother's hobby.

As long as there is nothing big, I will come back on time to spend with my family and have this dinner.

Dinner was very rich. In the center of the dining table, this steaming hot pot was placed, which contained tofu, meatballs, fish slices, kelp and other dishes.

After seeing Ji Kang eating a meatball, Empress Dowager Ji Zhao remembered something and waved his hand and asked the palace maids who were serving him to retreat.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the kitchen, the Queen Mother Ji Zhao said to Ji Kang:

"Kang'er, this spring, will our Yan Kingdom attack Handan?"

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became silent because of the words of Empress Dowager Ji Zhao.

Ji Kang thought about it and found that it was impossible and unnecessary to hide it from his mother.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Ji Kang smiled and said to the Queen Mother Ji Zhao:

"Mother, according to the plan of our Yan State, we will attack Handan this year."

The Empress Dowager Ji Zhao nodded and said to Ji Kang:

"Kang'er, I know that you have been very ambitious since childhood and have always wanted to unify the world. Zhao State should indeed fight, and it seems that it cannot exist. Mother doesn't want to stop you, but just wants you to satisfy your mother's wish, okay?"

Ji Kang's face became solemn and said to his mother Ji Zhao, "My mother, please tell me."

"If my Yan army really breaks through Handan City, my mother hopes that you can spare the lives of your uncle and the royal family of Zhao Kingdom. You can move them to Liao according to the convention of our Yan Kingdom, okay?"

The Queen Mother Ji Zhao looked at Ji Kang expectantly, his voice choked.

As the mother of King Kang of Yan and the eldest sister of King Dan of Zhao, the queen mother, Ji Zhao, the queen mother, was the least willing to see Yan and Zhao fighting each other. However, this was not something she could stop.

After hearing what his mother said, Ji Kang couldn't help but feel relieved.

His mother's request was fine. What Ji Kang was most worried about just now was that his mother would not allow him to attack Zhao State. If this were the case, Ji Kang would be in a difficult situation.

"Mother, don't worry! If my Yan army really breaks through Handan City, my son will do what you say. Not to mention other people, they are my two uncles. If the mother is not at ease, they can stay in Jidu and accompany the mother."

Ji Kang agreed to his mother's request.

After hearing his son's words, Empress Dowager Ji Zhao laughed.
