The Hanlin Academy is the most noble department, but look at the mean faces of those people.
There are people who enjoy the show, those who make sarcastic remarks, and those who fan the flames - there is everything you can think of.
In the afternoon, Li Tang returned to the Hanlin Academy. He also noticed something unusual, but he didn't say anything and just went on with his work.
Everyone was quite bored as they didn't see the good show, while Su Shien narrowed his eyes. Inaction was the best statement. It seemed that Li Tang had a grudge against him.
Just because Su Shien took his place for a week?
It can’t be because he didn’t get the pastries from the imperial kitchen, right?
They are both minor officials, not "eunuchs" who are willing to compete for favor. If you are willing to compete for favor, why don't you join the harem?
Su Shien didn't show it on his face, but he was actually sneering in his heart.
In fact, Li Tang was also paying attention to Su Shien's expression. Seeing that he seemed fine, he finished the work at hand and drank another pot of tea.
What’s even more infuriating is that he still rushes to the front line of the lower yamen and escapes faster than anyone else.
When his great-grandfather passed away, his grandfather observed three years of mourning, and his father observed one year of mourning. However, since he was out of the three mourning periods, he was not included in the mourning period.
To be disrespectful and unfilial, given my great-grandfather's reputation for being a romantic figure, his passing was a good thing for the family.
But in the process of dealing with the funeral, he heard from his grandfather and father that his great-grandfather had passed away at the wrong time.
Yesterday, his grandfather talked to him for a long time, and it was then that he suddenly realized that the Li family, which had three generations of officials and was extremely prosperous, was now the only one left in the court.
Overnight, the world of the top scholar collapsed...
The Hanlin Academy did not have a confidentiality agreement, and every day when Su Shien returned home, he would discuss workplace interpersonal relationships with Han Zeyu for a while.
Han Zeyu said: "You can talk as you please, and I will sort out whether there is any gossip worth digging out."
Before he got his diploma, he had already obtained the ticket to the end of the world, so Han Zeyu is considered a graduate dropout.
He has been self-reliant since he was eighteen years old and became a fitness coach in his sophomore year, so he has some work experience.
Most of the people who get gym memberships are career elites. It is so exciting to listen to the sisters talk about the intrigues among their colleagues.
As for the older brothers on the equipment, they shed tears of envy at Coach Xiao Han's physique.
It’s great to be young!
Han Zeyu was puzzled: "Brother, why are you crying during training? How about we do two fewer sets?"
Little did people know that Coach Xiao Han also drooled when he saw some of his male compatriots.
No, big brother, let's practice hard. Why are you standing up for no reason? Your height of 179cm is exposed! Sit back down quickly!
Coach Xiao Han always goes to his part-time job happily, and then returns to the dormitory cursing.
Ugh~ I hate those gay men who show off their affection in public.
Han Zeyu held his pretty face in his hands and stared at Su Shien's handsome face infatuatedly.
Alas, I ended up becoming the most annoying person. Perhaps this is the price of growing up.
Su Shien talked for a long time and wondered why this person didn't respond?
Looking back, oh well! I'm obsessed with her again.
"Teacher Han, do you think Li Tang will become like his grandfather?"
Han Zeyu slapped the thieving hand off his cheek and said, "You've deformed my beautiful face."
"County Magistrate Tian has a good reputation, but he can only be promoted to the fifth rank at most when he retires. When the Cabinet Scholar retires, the Emperor will definitely award him a honorary title of the second rank. But who would be willing to abdicate in such a high position?"
Su Shien wanted to put himself in the other person's shoes, but he was only a seventh-rank official, so he decided to give up!
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. I should keep a low profile and try to avoid conflict with Li Tang."
Han Zeyu was just about to praise him for his resilience, but Su Shien added quietly, "If he dares to provoke me, I'll secretly put him in a sack. After all, a gentleman uses his hands instead of his words."
Han Zeyu...
Well done you hypocrite!
Although she supports her husband from the bottom of her heart, as a good wife she needs to keep things under control and not cause trouble.
Han Zeyu's clever little brain began to work frantically.
A moment later...
"Mr. Erqi, you haven't published a new book in almost a year. Your readers and my little treasury miss you very much. Why don't you use your free time to create some art?"
This topic is a bit broad, and Su Shien couldn't help but wonder if Lin Jing wrote to urge him to submit the manuscript?
"Ah, well, actually, how should I put it? I'm also quite busy at the Hanlin Academy."
Han Zeyu rolled his eyes at him. "Why are you pretending? Your job is even easier than the dorm manager's."
"Alas, I've already finished writing 'More than a Thousand Days and Nights with My Underground Lover.' Someone, you know, earns forty-five taels a year..."
Su Shien decisively took out a pen and paper, sat down at his desk to think, and wrote furiously.
Han Zeyu was very satisfied. As a man, he must be ambitious. Having him lying down at home was enough.
The virtuous, gentle, and considerate Su Han offered her husband some advice: "Using the government-owned brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone to create your own art can give your superiors and colleagues the illusion that you're ambitious. Most importantly, it can create psychological pressure on your opponents."
Su Shien was not very interested in the previous one, but he was very concerned about how to suppress his opponents by slacking off and doing a side job.
"When you're writing a storybook, if Li Tang is nearby, you can write for a while, look at him, then write for a while, and look at him again."
Su Shien was puzzled: "I'm not painting his portrait, so why would I look at him?"
Han Zeyu was disappointed: "He's not a wooden man. How can he remain indifferent when being peeped at by his opponent? As long as he looks up at you, you pretend to meet his gaze casually, and then quickly lower your head. Won't you feel guilty? You panic, understand?"
Su Shien exclaimed in admiration: "What a bad idea! This plan is so vicious! Brilliant, brilliant!"
Han Zeyu snorted coldly. "Who are you scolding? Do you think I can't hear you? You know shit! This is called conquering the enemy without fighting!"
Speaking of writing storybooks, Su Shien thought of the topic that was forced to end.
"Brother Yu, I noticed that the emperor often reads the Annals of the Original Xia Dynasty. He even loves it so much that he can't put it down and flips through it whenever he feels like it."
Han Zeyu was indignant: "Why doesn't the emperor read Mr. Qingbai's book? Is it not interesting? Isn't it interesting? Aren't the scenes novel? Aren't the postures varied?"
Su Shien was helpless. This person's focus was always so strange.
"Alright, alright, let's not be angry. Even if His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see it, he wouldn't have put it openly on the imperial desk. Maybe he has kept it in his bedroom!"
Jealousy can make a person look unrecognizable. Han Zeyu obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He disliked someone.
Su Shien was helpless. She hugged her grumpy little husband and lay on the couch, thinking about the outline of the story.
Han Zeyu turned over and faced Su Shien with his back. His big eyes rolled around and his heart was beating wildly. He looked guilty and panicked.
It's bad. Su Shien is good in every way, but he is not easy to fool. He needs to think of a way to maintain his image of being kind, upright, and selfless...
