With more men than women in the country, how can women, as well as the elderly, weak, and solitary labor force, be mobilized to participate in the development of Yu State?
Mi Yue leaned her forehead, pondering over the issue.
"Your highness." Wei Zi walked in, "Li Family has sent in an invitation to attend Madam Li's birthday banquet tomorrow."
Miss Mi sat up straight and asked, "Mrs. Li?"
She remembered that tomorrow was the 62nd birthday of Li Shichang's mother.
"Celebrating her 62nd birthday?" Miss Mi rested her forehead on her hand and pondered.
There is always a custom for celebrating birthdays, such as the saying of "not doing ten but doing nine", which means that being perfect to the extreme may bring bad luck. Therefore, people who pay attention to traditions usually follow this rule. For example, when celebrating the 60th birthday, it should be done at the age of 59, and when celebrating the 70th birthday, it should be done at the age of 69.
There are also places where it is said that men should celebrate at the age of nine and women should celebrate at the age of ten, which means that men rejoice in reality and women rejoice in virtue.
However, regardless of the custom, it is very rare for someone to celebrate their 62nd birthday, especially among the traditionally discerning nobility.
李家是豫国最大的世族之一,这个寿做得有些耐人寻味。
魏紫先前知道此事,也觉得奇怪,特地去问了一下,打听到了答案,与宓月说了起来。
"The servant once asked why there was a birthday celebration this year, and the people of the Li family said that this is the year when the Prince of Yu's court was established, and it is a year of new changes. Li Shichang also became the Honglusi Qing, and there were new additions to the household, with many joyful events, so they decided to celebrate Li's old lady's birthday again and add some more festive atmosphere."
"I see." Mi Yue chuckled softly and said to Wei Zi, "Send someone to inform the Li family that I will attend the celebration of Madam Li's birthday tomorrow. Are the two Vice-Ministers still handling affairs at the Wang Palace?"
"Yes, it's still early. The two prime ministers and other officials haven't left yet."
"I'll go over there."
The Imperial Palace of Prince Yu had few people, but too many places to use. In order to facilitate management, Xiao Jin set up the front palace as the place for governing and arranged a meeting hall there for the prime ministers. Even the six departments had a special place for handling government affairs.
News of the Great Victory at Guanju City had just arrived at the Council Chamber, and both Left Minister Ge Zhaoyuan and Right Minister Cui Mo were overjoyed. According to their calculations, the city had been taken on the first day of the battle!
Ge Zhaoyuan felt greatly relieved, "Recently, there have been many rumors in the capital trying to discredit the King and his court. This news comes at just the right time."
"The king was able to capture Guanju city in one day, which established his prestige in the court. The chancellor will spread the news to let those who wanted to see a joke witness the ability of our great king."
崔墨唤了人进来,正要让他们把消息写成王榜张贴出去。
“Hold on!” Mi Yue walked into the council hall and said, "The two prime ministers need to wait a moment."
After bowing to Mi Yue, Ge Zhaoyuan and Cui Mo asked in confusion, "The great news of our victory has arrived, and it's a great opportunity to showcase our country's strength. Why wouldn't Your Majesty want to spread the news to the world as soon as possible?"
一旁前来理事厅汇报王城事务的华阳城府尹崔才勰同样不解,与宓月说道:“近日城中多了许多风言风语,不是贬低大王,就是取笑娘娘不干正事,一心弄什么医院。臣怀疑,有人居心叵测,想借此抹黑王廷。”
After Wang Ting was established, there was a severe shortage of officials and soldiers, and the aristocrats in the capital sat waiting for Xiao Henguang to recruit concubines in order to consolidate their own positions.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Henguang had no intention of expanding the harem, and even allocated a large portion of the palace as the official office for the Wang Ting. Apart from a few eunuchs being added to the palace, there was no intention to select more palace maids.
Now, many noble families and aristocrats couldn't sit still, and inquired about Yu Wang's extremely favored wife, casting their eyes on Mi Yue.
At first, they learned that Mi Yue was from the state of Chu and assumed that she had a strong temperament, was easily jealous, and would not allow her husband to take concubines. Later, when the news broke that Yu Wang's wife was the little divine doctor, it caused a stir for a while and increased the admiration for Mi Yue.
However, it was soon discovered that Mì Yuè did not engage in behavior to win over the women of noble clans, nor did she show any signs of favor towards high-ranking women. She merely associated with common doctors, working on running a hospital to treat illnesses, which made them look down upon her.
Cui Caixie has heard a lot of gossip, and they all say that Mi Yue, as a queen, does not help the king consolidate his position, does not actively please the powerful and wealthy aristocrats, and does not actively help the king take concubines, showing no virtue as a woman.
