However, in Si Ming's opinion, the overall situation is now settled and clear. Among the three kingdoms, the Lan Dynasty was destroyed, the King of Chu was killed, and the new emperor was hastily supported by his ministers to ascend the throne. Unfortunately, he is still a young child, and even with the assistance of loyal ministers, he will hardly be able to gain any power in a short period of time.

So, the immediate problem became how to introduce Feng Ziyi to the elusive Emperor Jing.

Shu Yun wasn't worried about anything after the recommendation; with Feng Ziyi's talent, becoming prime minister shouldn't be a problem.

Whether Emperor Jing is feigning deafness or not, Guan Qin, renowned throughout the land, has only two disciples. Now that both disciples have come to Jing's territory, he doesn't even send anyone to recruit them. He has absolutely no manners of treating scholars with respect.

Look at Wei Tan, who personally set up a scheme to remove obstacles in order to promote Feng Ziyi, elevating him from a lowly ninth-rank official to the position of Imperial Censor.

After obtaining the travel documents from Jingguo, Shu Yun and the others remained in the same state as in Lanchao. Each of the three purchased a house, displaying their wealth and extravagance, which shocked the local prefect, who summoned the three to pay him a visit.

After the three men met the prefect, he never dared to have the army surround their residence and force them to pay their respects. Instead, he would often sneak out of the prefect's mansion in ordinary clothes to chat with the three men.

Recently, after carefully learning about the local customs and political situation in Suixian and Zaoyang, Feng Ziyi wants to bring his family over and is busy making arrangements.

Jiang Yan was busy with something, perhaps he needed to expand his business in the new place and develop his network and influence. Every day, people came and went from Jiang Garden.

Sui and Zao are important military locations, and the prefects of these places must be quite influential. It seems that he would be a suitable candidate to recommend Feng Ziyi.

Shu Yun immediately set off for the prefectural governor's residence.

"The prefect is not here?"

She lifted the beaded curtain in front of the carriage, revealing a beautiful face. Her eyebrows were naturally dark, her lips were slightly red and soft, and her clear eyes seemed to hold ice and snow, crystal clear and bright.

The camellias at the corner of the eye bloom quietly, vibrant and fresh.

The gatekeeper stared at her blankly. He had heard that the Queen of Lan was the most beautiful woman in the world, but later he heard that she was a monster.

He never had the chance to join the army, nor had he ever been to Lan Kingdom. He had imagined what the empress looked like, but he could never clearly depict the features of the beauty in his mind. He was afraid that the features he drew would not match the beauty's demeanor, so he would rather just imagine a hazy aura that would inspire imagination.

And now, the facial features that had been blank in his mind suddenly appeared before his eyes, with perfect and smooth curves, every part impeccable, beautiful but not vulgar, beautiful but not seductive.

"You, you, you..." The gatekeeper was speechless.

The coachman glared at him and said, "What do you mean, 'you'? Take your insolent gaze away now."

The coachman wore a small brooch on his chest, made of pure silver, which gleamed in the sunlight.

The gatekeeper's gaze fell upon the brooch, his expression changed, he suppressed his wandering thoughts, and bowed in apology.

Inside the prefectural governor's residence, there were high-backed chairs made of pear wood, with intricate and exquisite carvings by craftsmen.

Three people were sitting on the chairs. The prefect sat to the right of the person at the head of the table, and Ke Min sat to the left of that person. The two were arguing about something.

The person at the head of the table did not intend to stop them. Instead, he picked up a teacup that had cooled down a bit, blew away the floating tea leaves, and took a sip.

The tea water stained his pale lips, and the hot tea invigorated his blood vessels, causing his usually pale lips to turn a rosy red, which, combined with his fair and jade-like complexion, made him even more stunning.

The person's eyes were upturned at the corners, and their dark eyes were lowered, making it impossible to see their expression. Their long, dark eyelashes, like raven feathers, hung down, casting shadows under their eyes.

The tightly closed hall door was suddenly knocked on, making a "knock knock" sound.

Jiang Yan put down her teacup. "Come in."
