Chapter 106: Yuanwailang Wants to Get Promoted



After returning from Tianyun Mountain, Su Juan avoided morning court for many days on the grounds of feeling unwell, so much so that the old emperor thought she was really sick and asked an imperial physician to visit her at Su's mansion. From that day on, the court issued a regulation strictly prohibiting court officials from shirking their duties. Once discovered, they would be fined half a year's salary and punished with ten beatings.

Su Juan found that she could no longer hide, so she packed up and went to court the next day.

Normally, when she saw her colleagues in the court, no matter if she knew them well or not, she would go up to say hello. But today, she kept her head down the whole time, passing through the crowd of people chatting, trying to minimize her presence. However, things did not go as she wished.

[Hahahaha! Why is there a hole on the butt of the Minister of War? ! ! ]

Some of the ministers looked at Su Juan, and some looked at the Minister of War. The Minister of War turned away, covering his buttocks, his old face red and black.

[It's torn but still very unique. 】

Someone laughed out loud.

The Minister of War was immediately annoyed: "It's just a hole in my clothes, laugh! I will make you die of laughter sooner or later!"

Some people wondered, didn’t the Minister of War know that there was a hole in his official robe? Why did he still wear it out?

It couldn't be that he was retaliated by the rhubarb in the bun shop on the way to court just now?

Minister Lou of the Ministry of Justice was still upset about the embarrassing diarrhea in front of everyone. He came over and pretended to be concerned, "Old Nie, what's wrong with your butt? Is it the new style of clothing in the capital?"

The Minister of War cursed in his heart, "It was just scratched by the carriage on the way here, it's not a big deal, I can just go back and fix it."

[Minister Nie is indeed frugal, but how long will it take for him to make up for it? ]

[You know, all of his robes and pants were cut by Madam Nie. Could it be that he had to mend them all? ]

The court officials were shocked. Minister Nie's official robes were cut by Madam Nie! ?

This violates the laws of Dajin!

But why did Madam Nie cut her husband's robe for no reason?

Could it be some kind of interest between an old couple?

Everyone was really curious and looked at Su Juan eagerly, with expectant faces like big dogs waiting to be fed.

When Minister Lou heard this, he had evil intentions. "I think the tear is pretty serious. You should ask your wife to help you mend it when you get back. I remember that your sister-in-law was famous for her embroidery skills."

"I'll make it up when I get back, I'll make it up when I get back." The Minister of War responded perfunctorily with an ugly look on his face. It seemed that Lou Shiye did it on purpose.

It's just shit on my clothes. It's been so long since it happened. Are you still being so hard on yourself? !

After all, isn't it that he himself is unable to hold it in?

[Your wife probably wants to kill you, but she still mends your robe. It's a nice thought in broad daylight.]

The Minister of War gnashed his teeth and said, "I just want to think about it!"

If you weren't pretending to be sick, would I have to wear this and embarrass myself in court? ?

Su Juan's words were intermittent, which made a group of colleagues who were eager to satisfy their curiosity very anxious. What did Minister Nie do to his wife? Why did he call for her to be killed?

Minister Lou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Old Nie, why do you look unhappy? Did you have a quarrel with my sister-in-law?"

Minister Nie smiled with a fake smile, "Why would we be upset? It's just that I didn't sleep well last night."

Minister Nie even wanted to kill Minister Lou in front of him. This Su Juan was always chattering, and the King of Han now had a grudge against him.

Fortunately, to his satisfaction, Su Juan stopped thinking about it because the old emperor had arrived.

Su Juan immediately lowered her head again, [Don't ever think of me, don't ever think of me, don't ever think of me...]

Minister Mo observed a moment of silence for Su Juan. This girl really never had a moment to rest.

[I shouldn’t have drunk that day. If I had eaten two more grains of rice, I wouldn’t have drunk that much. It really saved my life! ]

The Minister of Justice shook his head repeatedly. He knew too well how drinking could cause trouble.

[Su Juan, Su Juan, you cursed the old emperor after drinking a little wine, how dare you, how many heads do you have for him to chop off!!!]

The old emperor sneered in his heart. Even when he was not drinking, he often saw you cursing him in his heart. Now you are pretending to repent.

Su Juan looked around quietly and breathed a sigh of relief, [Fortunately, no one paid attention to me today. Huh... calling me a "peeler" is too rude.]

Everyone present could clearly feel the heartfelt words from Su Juan, and how much she regretted going crazy that day.

However, Su Juan quickly changed her mind, "I'm a good girl, can't I be given a nickname like 'Gentle and Talented'?"

The old emperor almost lost his seat. Gentle? And a talented woman?

Which of the two words "gentle" and "wan" suits you?

The Minister of War almost laughed out loud, how dare you think such nonsense?

You really have no idea about yourself!

Duke Pingguo glanced at Marquis Pingbo. He was really afraid that Su Juan would say something else, so he directly asked Marquis Pingbo to reject the matter to be discussed that day.

He really prayed to God and his ancestors that Su Juan would stop thinking too much, but he was also really curious about what the Minister of War had done to his wife.

Su Juan sighed, [What a shame, I tried so hard to maintain my steady and upright image, but I will regret it forever if I make a mistake!]

Scholar Yuan from the Hanlin Academy in front really wanted to tell Su Juan that she had never had a steady and decent image since the first day she stepped into this golden palace, so why should she be so upset?

Sometimes this person really feels uncomfortable holding it in, but he has to continue holding it in.

Su Juan sighed again, [What should I do if I offend the old emperor...]

The old emperor sneered, "You are thinking of me now, but it's too late!"

The ministers shook their heads repeatedly. It was not just His Majesty who was offended.

Su Juan was so worried, [If this continues, how can I get promoted? ]

Minister Mo was shocked: Yuanwailang actually wanted to be promoted! ?

This official who spends all day either thinking about eating or sleeping actually wants to get promoted! ?

Is this a Yuanwailang? How could he have such ambition? Could it be someone else pretending to be him?

The old emperor was curious. Why did this girl want a promotion? Hasn't she always found going to court troublesome? Why is she so ambitious now?

[How did you get to the position of Zhongshuling? ? ]

The whole government and the public were shocked: !!!

Good boy, you are just a mere sixth rank, you really dare to think so! ?

Current Zhongshu Ling: ??? Am I still alive?

Duke Ping was surprised. He thought that Su Juan was not interested in the court, but he didn't expect that she had such a lofty goal.

Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue suspected that he had heard it wrongly: You are in the Ministry of Revenue, but your heart is actually in the Secretariat! ?

His promotion and training over the past few months was a waste. It was really a waste! A waste!

The old emperor sneered, "Oh, you can't even please your superiors. You start whining and complaining after roasting meat for two days, and you still dream of getting promoted to the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat?"

Do you think my Shangshu Province is as easy to enter as the Baihua Building in the neighborhood?!
