Xie Xun watched the three of them drinking one after another, happily discussing the affairs of the court. The feeling of being abandoned that he had only felt when he was with Su Juan and Shen Ruhui in the Duke's Mansion suddenly returned.

He kicked the chair, lifted up his clothes, half-lay on the railing of the pavilion, and fanned himself. Seeing that no one of the three paid attention to him, he stood up and swaggered to the wine pot on the table and poured it directly into his mouth, sighing, "Ah! This wine is really good."

However, none of the three paid any attention to him.

"You are now working as a Censor in the Ministry of Rites. In the future, we will serve in the same court and we need to take care of each other." Su Juan smiled and chatted with Liu Xuanke.

[That day I felt that Liu Xuan had a connection with the Ministry of Rites, and it turned out to be true.]

[I never knew that this bunch of good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Personnel were actually quite good at placing people in a position of power. It seems that they do have some strengths.]

Liu Xuan nodded slightly.

Liu Miaoqing mentioned another matter, "Did you know that last night His Majesty personally issued an edict to promote Song Qianhang to the position of Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel and the Imperial Academy."

When Su Juan heard this, her eyes widened, "Are you sure?"

Liu Miaoqing nodded, "My father told me this today after he returned home."

The Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the genealogy of the imperial family, clans and maternal relatives, and all matters concerning the imperial family. The position of Zongzheng Qing has been vacant for a whole year, and the other Zongzheng Shaoqing is said to have an old relationship with King Han. Now that King Han has just been implicated in the Zhongzheng evaluation incident, His Majesty suddenly promoted Song Qianhang at this critical juncture. The intention is really hard to guess.

[Song Qianhang is so quiet on weekdays, but he is holding back his emotions! ]

Liu Xuan stroked the teacup with his fingertips, his eyes fell on Su Juan, "You don't know about this?"

Your Majesty would not promote someone suddenly. Song Qianhang must have been planning this for a long time. He and Su Juan have always had a good relationship. Judging from Su Juan's reaction, it is obvious that he is completely unaware of this matter.

Su Juan shook her head, "If I had known, I would have invited him here today."

[We have to celebrate for him anyway. 】

Liu Miaoqing herself had ambitions, so what she lacked was the opportunity to become an official in the court. Liu Xuan was talented and would be put to good use sooner or later, so it was not surprising.

But she really didn't expect Song Qianhang.

After all, Song Qianhang just drank and had fun every day, and never revealed any idea of ​​entering the officialdom until his death at the hands of Song Qianfan.

But now, he was suddenly promoted by the emperor. This was really too sudden. She guessed that if Song Qianfan knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

The three of them were silent for a long time. For a moment, they couldn't see through Song Qianhang and didn't know why he did this.

"I say, can you three take a look at me?"

Xie Xun was going crazy. He slammed the table and stood in front of the three people.

The three of them looked at him with puzzled eyes.

【What happened to Xie Xun? 】

Xie Xun was furious and stopped fanning himself. "You guys have been mumbling to each other since just now, talking about your own business. I have been standing here for a long time and you have never paid any attention to me."

Three people: “?”

"Didn't we say we were in the same boat before? Why do you officials look down on me now?"

It's fine if it's just Su Juan and Shen Ruhui, but now it's also Liu Miaoqing and Liu Xuan.

He suspected that these people were deliberately saying things that he couldn't understand, such as Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Division. If they didn't know about it, then they didn't know. They all looked like they were concerned about important matters of the court, and I, the young master, was nothing.

I can't even get a word in now.

The three of them looked at each other. Liu Miaoqing smiled quietly and said nothing. Xie Xun had never been involved in the court, so naturally he didn't know about these things in the Zongzheng Temple, so it was normal that he didn't understand.

Liu Xuan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xie Xun, as if to comfort him.

Su Juan touched his chin and looked at Xie Xun. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. [I know!]

Xie Xun immediately looked at her, finally realizing that he had neglected me!

[It must be that Liu Xuan ignored him, and he felt lonely and cold]

Xie Xun: ???

[Alas, it turns out that I was jealous. ]

Xie Xun: You farted!

Su Juan was considerate and said, "Why don't we stop here today? Brother Liu, you can chat with Xie Xun and have a chat. Miao Qing and I will go out to look for rouge and powder."

Xie Xun's face darkened, "Who wants him to talk to me?"

Su Juan gave him an expression that said 'I understand, you don't need to explain', and then looked at Liu Miaoqing.

Liu Miaoqing lowered her eyes and smiled, then stood up and followed Su Juan.

Xie Xun had never felt so aggrieved in his life, especially since Song Er, whose reputation in Beijing was comparable to his, had farted silently, while he was still acting as a spy for the old man at home, snooping about Su Juan's affairs for him all day long, but in the end he didn't even understand what they were talking about. His life was so aggravated and boring.

Seeing that Su Juan and Liu Miaoqing had left, he stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and asked him, "Don't want to talk?"

When Xie Xun heard this, he immediately felt that Su Juan would have such messy thoughts because Liu Xuan always said things that could lead to misunderstandings. "What can two grown men talk about? In the future, you should say less things that could lead to misunderstandings."

Hearing this, Liu Xuan was still a little confused. Seeing Xie Xun's reaction, he seemed to understand a little and smiled, "As long as you behave properly, why should you be afraid of others misunderstanding you?"

Xie Xun: “.” What a stubborn person.

After the rest, there were many things to discuss in the court meeting. After the court was dismissed, the old emperor kept many court officials to discuss matters. Su Juan had always been highly valued by Minister Mo in the Ministry of Revenue, and now he followed Minister Mo and was also kept.

Su Juan was listening to a few old men arguing in the back. After hearing the general idea, she felt sleepy, so she found an excuse to come out and waited outside to take a nap.

[Alas, as a sixth-rank official, I have a lot of work to do but my salary has not increased. Until now, I can't even afford to buy my own mansion.]

At this moment, the people inside heard everything clearly. The old emperor, who was sitting high on the throne, narrowed his eyes. This girl still has a big appetite now, but recently I heard from Mo Qing that this girl has made a lot of progress. Not only did she do a good job in the Ministry of Revenue, but she also did a good job in assisting the Ministry of Justice.

In fact, this girl has accomplished so many great things this year, it’s time for her to be promoted.

[Miao Qing was promoted to the fifth rank, and is busier than a donkey all day long. ]

Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Central Secretariat felt sorry for his daughter, but since it was his daughter who chose the path, he, as her father, could only watch.

[Liu Xuan and Song Qianhang are still the best, I envy them so much]

The old emperor's hands tapped the table from time to time. I want to hear what is so good about Liu Xuan and Song Qianhang that she envy them so much.

Pingbo Hou wiped his sweat.

[If you just drink and have fun, you can be promoted to Junior Official of the Imperial Clan Affairs Department. It's a high position with few things to do. If I had known this earlier, I would have followed him. Maybe I could have gotten one.]

All the ministers: “.”

Someone glanced at the emperor. It was indeed surprising that the second son of Prince Jing was promoted.

The old emperor thought of the day when Song Qianhang entered the palace and snorted, "How can a little girl like you understand my thoughts?"
