Chapter 290 Mascot

Song Jingyun was busy taking food out of the lunch box.

Because I was busy being affectionate with my wife just now, the size of my stomach has not yet completely filled up. Now I have to stuff more into my mouth quickly so that I can feel more at ease.

But while eating, Song Jingyun did not forget to share some with his good friend Chen Shuming.

In order to avoid being hungry due to being too busy today and not having time to eat, Chen Shuming ate a lot for breakfast. Now he didn't feel hungry at all, and even felt a little bloated.

But when Song Jingyun handed over the chestnut cake that looked of excellent quality, the greed came up instead.

In addition, after eating Song Jingyun's cakes last time, he won the favor of the emperor and Lord Tang. Chen Shuming always felt that eating more of Song Jingyun's food would bring him good luck, so he did not hesitate to be polite with Song Jingyun. After thanking him, he took the chestnut cake and ate it.

No matter where this man goes, as long as he has food to eat, he will not be worried.

Especially the food is sweet.

Chen Shuming felt that his extremely nervous mood had calmed down a lot, and his originally tense back relaxed a little. He even lifted the curtain on one side of the carriage to look at the scene outside.

The time to go to the yamen was quite early, and the sky outside was just getting light.

But pedestrians and street vendors had already appeared on the street one after another, as well as merchants who had started cleaning their shops early.

A day's plan begins in the morning.

Looking at such a busy scene, Chen Shuming's eyes couldn't help but become more energetic.

As they got closer and closer to the Hanlin Academy on East Street, Chen Shuming's anticipation grew. "Mr. Song, what kind of positions do you think the emperor and Lord Tang will assign to you and me? Speaking of which, the emperor seemed to have told Lord Tang to do more personal work. Could it be that they want us to manage imperial edicts and other matters right from the start?"

The Hanlin Academy has always been known as the emperor's personal court. If one can get in touch with the emperor's close affairs, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet and become the emperor's right-hand man in the future. His future will be limitless.

"Maybe..." Song Jingyun paused, "Maybe the emperor just thinks that the two of us are more auspicious, so he only wants you and me to accompany him in meditation."

Accompany while practicing meditation?

Wouldn't that make it a mascot?

No way…

Chen Shuming suddenly became nervous, but after a moment he waved his hands and laughed, "Everyone says that Mr. Song has always been a very lucky person. If you are close to Mr. Song, you will have good luck. I also benefited from Mr. Song's luck before. Since Mr. Song has such good luck, it will definitely not be like this."

Being a mascot is no different from ruining your future.

That's not the case.

Song Jingyun chuckled and did not refute.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Hanlin Academy.

Tang Zhichuan was already waiting at the gate of the Hanlin Academy.

"Lord Tang." Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming got off the carriage, flattered, "Thank you for waiting here, Lord Tang."

"I just arrived as well." Tang Zhichuan raised his hand, "Let's go."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming were about to go inside, but they saw Tang Zhichuan getting on a sedan chair nearby. They were surprised and asked, "Sir, this is..."

"The emperor sent someone to deliver his order this morning, asking me to bring you two to the palace to meet him." Tang Zhichuan said, "So you two should follow me into the palace to meet the emperor now."

Go to the palace to meet the emperor?

Chen Shuming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
