If there was a reward, there must be a punishment. Those who were caught and waiting to be punished were punished according to the law and were not given any exemptions.
There were many vacant positions among the officials. The imperial examination was already in this month and would only be held next year. Qu Xiao had people directly recommend young talents. He did not want to distinguish between noble and humble. As long as one was talented could do things for the country and the people, and were competent, they were allowed to take the test. @@novelbin@@
For a moment, Dongxiao was in a state of jubilation.
Qu Xiao then sent someone to send gifts to Da Ling to express his gratitude for Da Ling’s help. He also sent a letter of credence and announced to the other countries that as long as he was alive, Dongxiao would never go against Da Ling.
He even announced it to other countries!
This was something that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue did not expect. However, when they thought of Qu Xiao’s courage and future planning, this was also in line with Qu Xiao’s personality.
It seemed that they had not misjudged Qu Xiao.
It was one thing for Xi Qi, who had been on good terms with Da Ling for generations. Now, not only Bei Cheng but also Dongxiao had changed from a feud to a good relationship with Da Ling. This was a good sign. The other countries finally dared to send letters of credence to Da Ling, hoping that their Emperors would personally go to Da Ling to talk about the friendship between the two countries and the matter of buying seeds.
Xue Yan naturally agreed to all of them.
On November the second, Fu Ying gave birth to a child. It was a boy. Because Fu Ying needed to inherit the throne, she gave the child the surname Fu and named him Fu Po.
Fu Ying got pregnant in February of that year. They had roughly predicted when Fu Ying would give birth. Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia wanted to see their grandchildren, so Xue Sihu brought people to escort them over in September. Now that the child was born, it was winter and it was not easy to travel. Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and Xue Sihu decided to stay there a while longer. They would spend the New Year in the Beicheng Royal Palace.
Xue Wufu did not care what the child’s surname was, but Fu Ying did. Therefore, Fu Ying planned that she would have two children, and the second child would take Xue Wufu’s surname.
Even though Liu Guixia and the others were celebrating the New Year in Beicheng, there were still many people at home, so it was still very lively.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Xue Shi and the others led Xue Yan to visit every house in the village and play with everyone. The baby was wearing bright red clothes, with a fair face and two big eyes like black grapes. She was obedient and in very festive clothing.
The baby was already one year and five months old. She walked much better than before, but she was still young.
Even if lanterns were hung on the doors of every house and the middle of the village was quite bright, there were still dark places. They were afraid of scaring the baby, so Xue Shi and the others took turns holding her hand.
The baby was starting to become more bold. Even if there were firecrackers and fireworks, there was no need for anyone to cover her ears. At first, they were afraid that she would jump and hide. On the contrary, she celebrated along with everyone and happily jumped around.
However, because she was still small, she couldn’t jump high at all. All she did was tiny hops around her family.
After paying their respects to every family in the village, the children played in the middle of the village. There were also other children in the village playing together. They played together, set off fireworks and firecrackers, played a few games, and chased each other. It was a lively and happy scene.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were somewhat worried, always coming out of the house, standing at the door, and making sure that the children were safe and sound.
Seeing their baby jumping around inside, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were so happy that they looked at each other and smiled. Then, they returned to the house.
