Seeing that the princess was asking for an official position, Madam Hua couldn't help but be a little alert and asked tentatively: "Why do the princess want to ask for an official position?"

Ying Dongjun sighed again. When Madam Hua heard the princess' sigh, the blue veins on her forehead couldn't help but jump.

"I am a beautiful man who has a relationship with me." Ying Dongjun said with his jaw and said with a smile, "The nanny must be able to understand me. I heard that when my grandmother was a concubine in my grandfather's harem, the nanny also went to my grandmother to ask for an errand for Eunuch Lu. Later, Eunuch Lu got the power and brought the nanny in turn. The nanny and Eunuch Lu walked together all the way, but it made the palace people in the palace envious."

Madam Hua ignored Ying Dongjun's jokes and said seriously: "The old slave said before that it is not difficult to find an official position for his own people. It means that someone who is qualified to be an official. The princess also knows that not everyone can become an official."

The system of selecting scholars in the imperial examinations was popular since the reign of Emperor Gaozong. Before that, the most important system of selecting officials was the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system. At that time, if one had not born in aristocratic families, one could not be a high-ranking official. It was said that "there is no poor family in the top grade, and no noble family in the lower grade."

After the imperial examination, scholars from poor families began to occupy a place in the court.

However, in addition to those who can enter the court and become officials, there are more children of aristocratic families who enter the officialdom through their family, as well as those who are recommended to become officials.

The people who are qualified to be an official in Madam Hua said are the above three types of people.

Ying Dongjun was still smiling, "I naturally know that although I value appearance, I don't like fools without ink. That beautiful man is quite capable. He passed the Jinshi exam a few years ago. Unfortunately, after passing the election of the Ministry of Personnel, he fell seriously ill and delayed for several years. After recovering from the illness, he did not wait for a suitable official position. Only then did he waste his time and had to come to me."

Madam Hua knew that the princess really had a problem, that is, she liked handsome scholars, so was that Lord Yu?

"If you are a Jinshi, it's not impossible to arrive." Madam Hua glanced at the hourglass in the corner of the room and said, "Princess, let's change your clothes first, let's talk about this matter when we come back."

Ying Dongjun sat down without moving, and said sly: "I don't! The nanny has to agree first and find a fifth-rank official for my beautiful husband!"

Madam Hua took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "Princess, you should know that even if you are the top scholar in our dynasty, you will start from the eighth or ninth rank first, and no one can reach the top in one step. Even the Yu Zhongling started from a ninth rank small official. It took him eight years to be promoted from the ninth rank to the fifth rank official. This is because he had achieved remarkable political achievements and the late emperor repeatedly promoted it. Moreover, if it were not for the last emperor's will, just an ordinary imperial edict, other officials in the court would never allow him to take the position of the Zhongshu Ling."

"It seems that it's not easy for Mr. Yu." Ying Dongjun sighed again and compromised, "Forget it, I'm not an unreasonable person. Let's give him an eighth-rank official first."

Madam Hua felt very tired, so tired that she didn't want to say a word anymore, and just replied lightly: "Um."

Ying Dongjun knew that Madam Hua was a trustworthy person, so he stopped pestering him and said with a smile: "Madam is serving my grandmother. I dare not let you serve me. I have to bother Madam and call Xiao Jixiang in to help me change my clothes."

Uncle Hua turned around and left without saying a word.

Xiao Jixiang came in soon, but Madam Hua did not come back with her.

Ying Dongjun inserted a hair flower he had picked into the middle of his hair bun, and asked Xiao Jixiang with a smile: "Is it good-looking?"

Xiao Jixiang came over and saw that this was a flower of butterfly. The flowers were made of golden silk as the stems and pearls as the stamens, and the butterfly was inlaid with gems on the golden silk. Due to the excellent craftsmanship, the flowers were numerous but not chaotic, and the butterfly was agile and gorgeous, which complemented Ying Dongjun's beauty.

Xiao Jixiang nodded quickly, gave a thumbs up, and after thinking about it, he gestured again: The butterfly means rebirth from the cocoon, and the princess is the most suitable one with this flower!

While Ying Dongjun inserted a pair of hairpins into his hair bun, he also took a blank look at Xiao Jixiang, "I wear this hair flower today, but I remember that it is somewhat commensurate with that beautiful man."

While helping her tidy up her headdress, Xiao Jixiang could also make gestures: Is it the beautiful man who was earlier than Lord Yu?

Ying Dongjun chuckled, "Yes, I'll see you soon. I'll give him a meeting gift."

Ying Dongjun did not do much trouble. Soon after finishing dressing, Xiao Jixiang pushed out the door.

Madam Hua happened to come in from outside, followed by Hua Mian.

When Hua Mian saw Ying Dongjun, she quickly bowed her head and saluted her lips, closing her lips tightly.

"Has I learned this?" Ying Dongjun asked with a smile.

Hua Mian made a gesture to Ying Dongjun.

Ying Dongjun was a little surprised. Although Hua Mian's actions were still unfamiliar, she actually compared them to sign language that Xiao Jixiang usually used.

Ying Dongjun smiled and said to Madam Hua: "Madam is good at teaching her disciples. This girl is good, and I like it very much."
