The case in the Ministry of Justice came to an end, and nearly three months later, the matter of appointing officials in the Ministry of Personnel was finally settled.

Many families in Beijing decorated their homes with lanterns and colorful decorations, and were in a festive mood.

At the morning court that day, civil and military officials chatted with each other, and Su Juan also met many new faces along the way.

She sneezed, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly took out a handkerchief from the sleeve of her official robe and wiped her nose.

[It’s all because of this weather. It rains heavily every now and then. My nose is really uncomfortable. 】

Many people looked over here, and saw Yuanwailang standing in a place with few people, with his back turned, his shoulders shaking, and he sneezed from time to time.

Has Mr. Yuanwailang caught a cold?

Taking advantage of the old emperor's absence, Su Juan wiped her nose and cursed, "I haven't had a day off for a whole month. The old emperor doesn't want to rest himself but takes his ministers with him. It makes me have to go to court even though I'm sick. It's really unfair. The donkeys in the production team can at least rest for a day or two."

Many court officials echoed this, isn't that the truth?

Because of the Ministry of Justice's affairs, they didn't have a day off for a whole month. Even Ma couldn't stand it.

[Miao Qing has been promoted to the fifth rank, but I am still a sixth rank official who cannot even stand up to the standard...]

[I have done a lot of work, but I have not been promoted at all, and I still have to come to this crappy court every day. ]

That’s right!

Compared to three years ago, it’s still such a crappy position, and the salary is still so little, not even enough to fill the gaps in my teeth!

Many people cast admiring and encouraging eyes towards Su Juan. If they continued to say this, they would all be counting on Yuanwailang when they entered the palace.

If I don’t give her a break, our family will fall apart.

Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue looked at Su Juan with helplessness. This girl was really steady in her work. On that day, she assisted the Jingzhao Prefecture in handling a case. A few months ago, she assisted the Ministry of Justice in handling a case. She also handled the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue very well. If this girl had talked less in her daily life, wouldn't she have been promoted to the fifth rank by now?

All the civil and military officials are looking forward to her good words. Now that Yuanwailang is sick today, he must be even more resentful.

Everyone ran around to tell each other, and they were all excited. There was hope for a holiday!

The next moment, the ministers entered the Golden Palace one after another. Su Juan sneezed again. She covered her mouth with her hands, but the noise was still quite loud.

There was silence in the hall, and many people's shoulders were shaking with excitement: Now!

Come on, curse me, Mr. Yuanwailang, and use your ability to make people angry to death.

Our lives are all in your hands.

Su Juan, who carried the hopes of the entire court, quietly took out the handkerchief again, looked at it with some disgust, but still wiped her nose, [Alas, it's uncomfortable to catch a cold, and it's uncomfortable to feel dizzy and dizzy...]

The old emperor pricked up his ears. Is this girl sick?

The ministers were excited. Here she comes, the Yuanwailang comes with her clever mouth that can speak out against injustice and unfairness.

The next moment, Su Juan's voice continued to sound, [What kind of good person would go to court for a whole month without taking a break...]

No matter whether he was a newcomer or an old acquaintance, all the ministers pricked up their ears: Here he comes!

At this moment, they seemed to see the holiday waving at them.

[As expected of the old emperor! ]

The ministers: “???”

[Even the emperor is so diligent, we, the ministers, should follow his example. It's just a cold, not a big deal.]

Everyone: Are you okay?

Civil and military officials all suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. Was this official perhaps sick and confused?

That's not what you said outside just now!

The old emperor looked suspicious. How could this girl be so aware?

Su Juan wiped her tears, [I would rather die than not attend the court! ]

Civil and military officials wiped their tears: He is really sick and confused!

Listen, is this human language?

Academician Yuan from the Hanlin Academy wailed: It's all over, even the position of Yuanwailang is useless. There is no hope of taking a day off now.

During the morning court session that day, the sound of Su Juan sneezing could be heard from time to time, accompanied by one sentence after another about her dying in the Golden Palace. Finally, the old emperor could not bear it anymore, so he dismissed the court early, summoned several close ministers to discuss matters, and ordered the eunuch to summon the imperial physician to the Duke's Mansion to check on Su Juan.

Seeing Su Juan's miserable condition, the old emperor softened his heart and ordered all civil and military officials in the court to take a five-day holiday starting from the next day.

The ministers were delighted.

Su Juan felt dizzy. As soon as she walked out of the hall, many people surrounded her and asked her about her well-being.

"Xiao Su, why is your illness so severe?" Minister Mo said.

Su Juan sniffled and sniffed back her snot. "It's just a cold. It's nothing serious. I'm young and I'll be fine in two days. Thank you, Minister Mo, for worrying about me."

【It is still Minister Mo who cares about me. 】

The Minister of Justice at the side reminded him, "Catching a cold is no small matter, you must be careful when you return."

Many people followed suit, "Yes, yes, health is important."

"It won't matter if the affairs of the court are delayed for a day or two."

Su Juan stared at the people in front of him with suspicion, "Thank you all for your concern. I would like to express my gratitude here."

As she walked out, she looked back from time to time, [Why do they all seem so happy when I'm sick? ]

Hearing this, several people immediately stopped smiling. It was an illusion! It must be an illusion!

Several people immediately put on a worried look and watched Su Juan leave.

[The smiles on their faces are almost overflowing, especially the Minister of Justice, whose mouth is almost stretched to the sky. ]

The Minister of Justice touched the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself: Is it that obvious?

I've been busy these past few months and now I can finally stop and take a break. I'm so happy.

It's really a coincidence that Yuanwailang got sick, hahahaha.

...

Su Juan was ill and lay in bed for two days. A lot of supplements were sent to the palace, all of which were secretly sent by the Queen.

Just as she recovered from her illness, she happened to happen to attend the Jingyuan Poetry Festival and went out immediately.

As soon as I stepped into Jingyuan, I found that everything was different. The acquaintances from the past now had one foot in the court.

Seeing Su Juan, Liu Miaoqing immediately stood up and pulled her to the pavilion to sit down. "Yesterday I went to the Duke's Mansion to see you, and they said you were asleep, so I didn't bother you. Are you feeling unwell today?"

Su Juan smiled and shook her head, "It's just a cold. The palace doctor checked it out, and I took some medicine. Now I'm better."

Liu Xuan said in a gentle voice, "You still have to be careful and don't get caught in the wind."

His eyes were the same as before, but Su Juan didn't see the concern hidden beneath them.

Su Juan: "It's okay. As for you, I've been sick for the past two days and haven't had time to congratulate you yet."

As she spoke, she poured herself a cup of tea and looked at Liu Miaoqing. "Today I will use tea instead of wine. Congratulations to Miaoqing on being promoted to the fifth-rank doctor. The sea is wide for fish to leap and the sky is high for birds to fly. I wish you a smooth career and get what you want."

Liu Miaoqing drank it with a smile.

Su Juan poured another cup and met Liu Xuan's warm gaze, "I know Brother Liu's talent and ambition. Now that you have entered the government, I only hope that you will make a name for yourself from now on, and we will see each other at the top of the world."

Liu Xuan looked at her with gentle eyes, a warm smile on his lips, "Thank you."
