Chapter 706 Palace Maid
She used the connections she had accumulated to inquire about the news. After some efforts, she finally found the key clues, proved her innocence, and found the real criminal. Through this incident, Jiang Yingying not only cleared her grievances, but also won the respect of more people. Her reputation gradually spread in the court and attracted the attention of the emperor. The emperor personally summoned Jiang Yingying and asked her about her views on some government affairs. Jiang Yingying was not afraid and expressed her views bluntly. Her unique insights and profound analysis greatly appreciated the emperor. After that, Jiang Yingying was reused by the emperor and was transferred to the Hanlin Academy to participate in the formulation and drafting of some important policies. In the Hanlin Academy, Jiang Yingying gave full play to her talents and made suggestions for the court. Some of her suggestions, such as reducing taxes on the people and strengthening local governance, were adopted by the emperor and implemented nationwide, achieving good results. As time went on, Jiang Yingying's status in the court became higher and higher, and she became the focus of everyone's attention. But she did not become proud and complacent because of this, but worked harder. She knew that she had a great responsibility and had to do more for the country and the people. However, Jiang Yingying's success also attracted more jealousy and hatred. Some conservative forces were dissatisfied with her reform measures and tried every means to suppress her. At a court meeting, a minister suddenly attacked, accusing Jiang Yingying's policies of disrupting the order of the court and asking the emperor to punish her severely. Faced with the sudden attack, Jiang Yingying remained calm. She took out the prepared materials calmly, explained and illustrated her policies in detail, and refuted the other party's views with reason and evidence. After listening to Jiang Yingying's statement, the emperor believed that her policies were not wrong, but beneficial to the development of the country, so he rejected the minister's proposal. After this storm, Jiang Yingying understood more clearly how difficult it was to gain a foothold in the court. She began to make friends with some like-minded officials and formed her own power. With their joint efforts, some reform measures of the court were successfully implemented, and the country gradually became prosperous and strong. Jiang Yingying went from an ordinary merchant woman to her current position step by step, and experienced countless hardships and obstacles. But she never gave up her dream. With her wisdom and courage, she stood firm in the court and became an admired female official. Her story inspired countless people and made people believe that as long as they have dreams and work hard for them, they will be able to realize their life value. Many years later, when Jiang Yingying looked back on her life, she was filled with emotion. She knew that her life was still long and there were more challenges waiting for her. But she was not afraid, because she had proved herself with her actions, and she would continue to walk firmly on this thorny road to create more welfare for the country and the people.
Qin Huairu's Palace Dream Counterattack
Qin Huairu was originally an ordinary woman who worked hard for life in modern society. She ran around for food and clothing all day long and was entangled in trivial matters at home. That night, she dragged her tired body to sleep, but she didn't want to fall into a fantasy dream. In the dream, she was in a magnificent palace with a solemn atmosphere. The women around her were all dressed in simple palace maid costumes, and their expressions were hurried. Qin Huairu looked down and saw that she was wearing the same clothes. Before she could react, she was pulled by the arm by a person who looked like a nanny and taken to a yard full of wooden basins. The nanny shouted loudly. Although Qin Huairu couldn't hear clearly, she could understand from her gestures and stern expression that she was arranged in Xinzheku and had to wash clothes constantly. Qin Huairu had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and start working. The water in the wooden basin was icy cold, and the coarse cloth clothes were particularly difficult to wash. After washing for a while, her hands were frozen red. The other palace maids worked silently, and no one had the energy to care about her as a "newcomer". As time passed, Qin Huairu's hands were rubbed by the rough cloth, but the pile of clothes seemed to be endless. Suddenly, she exerted force, and the clothes in her hands passed through the rough washboard, and her fingers were immediately cut. Blood instantly seeped out and dripped into the basin, and the bright red blood slowly spread in the water. Qin Huairu's tears were in pain, but she knew that crying was useless here. She endured the pain and continued to wash clothes, but she secretly vowed in her heart that she must change this tragic fate. Days passed, and Qin Huairu suffered a lot in Xinzheku. She had to get up and work before dawn every day, and she could not return to her small and damp residence until late at night with her exhausted body. She always paid attention to the movements in the palace, looking for opportunities to change her fate. Finally, she found out that every few days, several princes would take a walk on a specific route. She felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, Qin Huairu began to plan carefully. She asked around about the princes' itinerary and learned that they would pass through a path in the Imperial Garden in the near future. She secretly observed the path and found that there was a slightly uneven ground, which was very suitable for creating an "accident". On the day when the princes were about to pass by, Qin Huairu deliberately finished the work at hand early and found an excuse to come to the vicinity of the Imperial Garden. Her heart was pounding, nervous and excited. When she heard footsteps and voices in the distance, she took a deep breath, found the right time, and walked quickly towards the uneven ground. Just as the princes were about to approach, Qin Huairu's foot twisted, the whole person rushed forward, and fell to the ground with a "thump". She let out a delicate exclamation, attracting the attention of the princes. Several princes stopped, and one of the older ones frowned and asked, "What's going on? Which palace's maid is so reckless?" Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at the princes with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I am a maid in the Xinzheku. I was in a hurry to get on the road and accidentally fell down. I disturbed the princes. I hope you will forgive me." Her pitiful appearance eased the expressions of the princes. At this time, a young and handsome prince stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help her up. Qin Huairu was delighted, knowing that her plan was half successful. She took the prince's hand, slowly stood up, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness. I think my foot is sprained and it hurts a lot." The young prince's name is Yinzhen. He is kind-hearted on weekdays. Seeing Qin Huairu so pitiful, he ordered the eunuch beside him, "Go, call a doctor to see this maid."
