Chapter 90 She is just a tool
The sun is scorching.
As August approaches, it feels like everyone has a huge fireball on their head, and the scorching temperature makes everyone feel a little dizzy.
However, Nan Yan's life is much better than that of others.
Ever since Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he appointed her as a female official of Shangbao, and specially designated the rear hall of Wuying Palace as Shangbao Division, where she spent most of her time every day.
However, it was not tea or water, but——
"Lady-in-law."
Someone knocked on the door. Nan Yan raised her head and said, "Come in."
A familiar figure walked in, raised his head and smiled at her. That handsome face made her smile as well: "What's wrong?"
"Isn't it the same old rule?"
Ye Zheng walked up to her holding a golden scroll and said respectfully, "Please give me the imperial seal."
Nan Yan was amused by his serious look. She smiled, then couldn't help but look down at the imperial edict on the table and said, "What's the matter?"
Ye Zheng immediately frowned: "You forgot again, as a female official of the Imperial Court, you can't control what is written in the imperial edict."
Indeed, the Shangbao female official was in charge of the imperial seal. Every imperial edict had to be sent to her to be stamped with the imperial seal before it was issued. However, this job, which seemed to be weighing more than a thousand pounds, was actually useless.
Because she couldn't ask what was written in the imperial edict.
She is just a tool to stamp the imperial seal.
Nan Yan sighed: "Okay."
After saying that, he took off the key from his waist, opened the cabinet next to him, took out a box from it and opened it. There was still a key inside.
She took the key and went to the other wall. The whole wall was densely packed with cabinets. She picked out one of them, opened it, and took out the precious imperial seal.
Ye Zheng unfolded the imperial edict. Nan Yan held up the jade seal and glanced down.
It turned out that the emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty.
She blinked and said nothing. The seal slowly fell, leaving a bright red mark on the imperial edict.
Nan Yan said, "Okay."
Ye Zheng picked up the imperial edict and carefully blew away the red marks on it. Then he looked around and said, "Your place is really nice. It's quiet and peaceful. Even if the emperor gets angry, he can't reach you."
Nan Yan was tidying up. When she heard what he said, she immediately looked up and asked, "Is the Emperor angry again?"
"Isn't it?"
"Why?"
"Half of the names submitted for this special examination are relatives of these officials in the court, or their own students. The emperor originally wanted to select talents, but now, it seems like he's doing them a favor."
Nan Yan frowned and said softly, "Then, what does the emperor say?"
"I haven't made a decision yet, but I'm getting angry."
As Ye Zheng spoke, he put away the imperial edict, thought for a moment, and then said, "Lady Si, if you have the chance, please give the emperor some advice. He will listen to your advice."
When Nan Yan heard this, her expression changed: "Don't talk nonsense."
“…”
"Of course the Emperor listens to the Empress's advice."
Ye Zheng smiled and said, "I know, but the Empress never interferes in state affairs. As a court lady, you should pay more attention to these matters."
"You care..." Nan Yan looked at the imperial edict in his hand and smiled faintly, "I'm just a seal-afficker. How can I care about it?"
Ye Zheng glanced at her, said nothing, just sighed lightly, turned around and walked out.
