"When the Ministry of Personnel appoints officials, even if you've been reinstated, they'll always look at your place of origin and resume," Yan Xinghe analyzed. "Your problem is the same as what my brother-in-law mentioned. It's probably because of Lu Yangping."
Lu Wenfeng sat down angrily. "I didn't get any benefits from this man. Now he has become the target of the court's 'attention', and he has even implicated me."
Before they took the imperial examination, Lu Yangping even introduced Fu Minghe to a famous guild hall.
His cousin was humiliated repeatedly.
Fu Ciyi took a sip of tea and said in a light voice, "You want to vent your anger."
"Ci Yi still understands me." Lu Wenfeng nodded.
Fu Ciyi said, "You should try to return to the Imperial Academy as soon as possible. When we find out about Lu Yangping's case, I will recommend you to assist in the interrogation, as a son of the Lu family. If you can then sacrifice your relatives for the greater good, I will guarantee you a promotion."
"Good idea." Yan Xinghe couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Lu Wenfeng was even more overjoyed: "Okay."
You can vent your anger and get promoted at the same time. There is nothing more satisfying than this.
"Speaking of which," Yan Xinghe looked at Fu Ciyi, "you were the one who brought Lu Wenfeng back from Jinzhou, but the Ministry of Personnel's attitude now is one-size-fits-all. They haven't even asked for your opinion. This shows that you, His Royal Highness Prince Rui, don't hold enough weight in the hearts of the officials in the Ministry of Personnel."
"Lord Yan, please don't say that. When I reported to the Ministry of Personnel, I didn't mention Your Highness at all." Lu Wenfeng hurriedly explained.
"That's not the case. If the people in the Ministry of Personnel value our Prince Rui, they will always give some face as long as His Royal Highness Prince Rui makes the slightest movement. But the problem lies here. The Ministry of Personnel probably does not think that Prince Rui can sit on the throne of the crown prince." Yan Xinghe said again.
"The Ministry of Personnel also handles matters impartially." Lu Wenfeng added.
He was afraid that Yan Xinghe's words would displease Ci Yi and his official position would be in jeopardy.
To his surprise, Fu Ciyi said, "Father has many sons, so the position of crown prince will be difficult to compete for."
It is a bit difficult, but he won't give it to others.
He didn't say the latter part of the sentence.
Yan Xinghe said directly: "I want to be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, so my brother-in-law must first become the Crown Prince and sit on the throne in the future."
The position of Prime Minister in the cabinet that he wanted could only be appointed by his brother-in-law.
Lu Wenfeng quickly interrupted, "I'd be satisfied just to be in the cabinet."
Fu Ciyi said calmly: "I will try my best."
Yan Xinghe: "You must work hard."
Lu Wenfeng: "Yes, you must work hard."
When they had almost finished their conversation, Yan Funing smiled and shook her head, "I think the three of you are actually here to discuss this matter, not to help me supervise the digging of the orange trees."
"How could we forget the important matter?" Yan Xinghe stood up first, "Supervisor, we must supervise carefully."
Two orange trees were dug up. Because they had so many roots, in order to ensure they would survive well after transplanting, the soil balls were dug very large.
The hours are from early morning to late afternoon.
It was already sunset when the two orange trees were transported to Prince Rui's Palace on a large cart.
The planting was done quickly, after all, the corresponding work had been prepared in the palace.
By the time the transplanting was completed, it was already time for dinner.
Yan Funing invited her second brother and Lu Wenfeng to have dinner at the palace. "You've worked hard today. Second brother and Wenfeng will stay for dinner. The craftsmen will also eat at the palace."
The two happily agreed.
During dinner, there was a lot of noise outside the dining room, with laughter and playfulness filling the air.
This has never happened before.
Fu Ciyi immediately shouted, "Who is making a noise?"
The cold wind and shadows made the rivers, lakes, seas and streams all hang their heads and go in.
"What are you arguing about? Why don't you come over quickly?" asked Eunuch Song.
The heads of several people hung lower and lower, and no one dared to speak while the master was eating.
Finally, Li Xinheng came in and said, "Your Highness, I know what they are arguing about."
"Li Xinheng, shut up."
"Shut up, Agou."
Several people talked at once, but they couldn't stop Li Xinheng from speaking. "Fu Hai said that Mr. Fu's grandson had a mole on his butt. Upon hearing this, Leng Feng and Leng Ying talked about a child they had rescued that year and saw a mole on his butt."
Fu Ciyi's gaze shifted to Leng Feng and Leng Ying: "Which child have you rescued?"
"Yes, and then I stayed in the camp." Leng Feng said.
There are outsiders in the dining room today, so we can only say that they are in the camp.
No mention of their Nanshan Secret Guard Bureau.
"Who is that?" Yan Funing couldn't help but ask curiously.
Li Xinheng smiled faintly: "The problem is that Leng Feng and Leng Ying saved so many people back then that they themselves have forgotten who they are. Just now they were stripping people's pants and looking at their butts one by one."
"Is that why it became like this?" Eunuch Song asked again.
"That's it, eunuch." Leng Ying said apologetically, "It's wrong of us to disturb the master's meal."
Fu Ciyi shook his head repeatedly: "A bunch of old men..."
He was too lazy to say anything.
Yan Xinghe also shook his head: "The method is quite direct. Just take off your pants if you want. Can you not do it while we are eating?"
Even if they are checking each other outside, the problem is that everyone sticks their butts out to see if there are any moles. It's funny no matter how you think about it.
Yan Funing covered her lips and smiled softly. As a woman, it was not convenient for her to speak about them.
Lu Wenfeng loved to join in the fun and couldn't help asking, "Did you find anyone with a mole?"
"I found a few people with moles, both big and small, but their ages don't match my memory." Leng Feng said frankly, "The location of the moles doesn't match either."
"As people grow older, their buttocks get bigger, and the position of moles from childhood may change accordingly." Li Xinheng added.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Fu Ciyi ordered coldly, "You guys leave first."
They still have to eat.
Does lifting your butt at the dinner table make you lose your appetite?
"Yes, Your Highness."
Leng Feng and the others all retreated respectfully.
After they all left, Yan Xinghe couldn't help laughing: "The people under my brother-in-law are quite interesting."
"I'm curious if Ci Yi has any of Old Master Fu's grandsons under his command," Lu Wenfeng said. "Lord Yan knows that Ci Yi is a very upright man. Fu Er's family has committed many evil deeds, so they are naturally not qualified to inherit Old Master Fu's estate. Ci Yi is thinking of finding Old Master Fu's biological grandson so that the Fu family's estate can be inherited by a true descendant of the Fu family."
In his heart, Ci Yi has the qualities of an emperor.
Such a person is fully qualified to be the crown prince and ascend to the throne in the future.
"It would be great if we could find the descendants of our grandparents and our aunt's son." Fu Ciyi lowered his voice.
Their grandparents treated them with great kindness.
Even if finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, he will not give up.
Lu Wenfeng said: "In that case, let's look for the people around us first."
Yan Xinghe asked: "How old is the old man's grandson now?"
"The same age as me." Fu Ciyi said.
"I have a few orphans around me too. You can ask those who are about our age." Yan Xinghe said, "Zhenxi and Zhenyue who came with me today are about the same age as us."
On the other side of the dining room, Zhen Xi and Zhen Yue, who were having their meal separated by a screen, looked at each other.
What?
Do you want to see their butts too?
