Chapter 1249 Queen
Zhou Shuren didn't have to hand over the Ministry of Revenue. Lord Xiao delegated power very quickly. The biggest change for Zhou Shuren was that he moved to a separate office, which was the best office in the Ministry of Revenue.
The prince had taken away Lord Xiao's belongings before he ascended the throne, leaving nothing for Zhou Shuren.
Mr. Xiao also took away Zhou Shuren's favorite tea set. Looking at the empty house, he pouted and said, "I'll wait for my son-in-law to give me the best tea set, yes, and tea leaves."
Qiu Yan, "......"
It's great to have a great son-in-law, and it's even greater to have a son-in-law who you raised yourself. Look how righteously he speaks.
Zhou Shuren's things were slowly moved over and placed. Qiu Yan went out for a while and came back soon, "All the officials of the Ministry of Revenue are waiting outside, waiting for you to talk!"
Zhou Shuren blinked, "Is there still an inaugural speech?"
Qiu Yan, "Ah?"
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "I won't say anything more, let them all go back to work."
It's not like he has just arrived at a new department, the Ministry of Revenue. He knows all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue better than he does.
Besides, a new official has three things to do when he takes office, so he still has to make some changes. It would be good to give some cold shoulder to those with ulterior motives without meeting them first.
Qiu Yan repeated Zhou Shuren's words. The officials outside were all a little stunned. Most of them went back quickly. Having worked together for many years, they all understood Mr. Zhou's temper.
On the contrary, some people who were more thoughtful hesitated for a while before leaving.
Qiu Yan came back and asked, "I thought the emperor would make an appointment for the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue that was vacant today!"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "This position will be vacant for a while. The emperor just took over."
Even if he is enlisted as the emperor, he will have to take his time to place his confidants in important departments. Moreover, based on Zhou Shuren's understanding of the emperor, the vacant position of the third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue is also a good bait!
At night, in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, there were only three masters in the huge mansion. If it weren't for the many servants, it would be really empty.
When Rongchuan returned to the palace, he went straight to find his wife and daughter-in-law, and never stayed alone in the front yard for a second.
Xue Han was hiding from the lady's fat hands and playing hide-and-seek with her. When the little girl saw her father, she stopped trying to catch her mother and quickly ran towards her father, saying in a baby voice, "Daddy."
Rong Chuan's heart, which had been abused by his father-in-law, was instantly healed. He picked up his daughter and asked, "Lin Xi, do you miss your father?"
"think."
Daddy is good at playing with her, and she likes to fly high.
Xue Han smiled and said, "Go change your clothes quickly. The meal will be delivered soon."
Rongchuan handed the girl to his wife, nodded and went inside to change clothes. When Rongchuan came out, he said to his wife, "Pack the tea set I got from the emperor a few days ago. Yes, and the tea leaves given by my father are also packed together."
Xue Han was stunned by what she said, "You don't like this tea set very much, how do you put it together?"
Rong Chuan endured the pain and said, "I will send it to the Ministry of Revenue for Dad tomorrow."
Xue Han, "...Did you meet dad when you came back?"
Rongchuan nodded. The old man was waiting for him at the intersection. The implication was that Lord Xiao was stingy and left without leaving anything behind. He had ordered tea sets from Lord Xiao several times, so he couldn't play dumb.
Xue Han burst out laughing, "Why does Dad want to take advantage of you?"
Rongchuan also smiled, "As long as the old man is happy."
Xue Han was not worried that Rong Chuan and her father would have conflicts. Her father knew his limits and would tolerate Rong Chuan. Besides, her husband had become a prince, and her father had helped him with many plans.
From the deepening relationship between my husband and the emperor, I can see how brilliant my father's ideas are.
In the blink of an eye it was time for the Empress' coronation ceremony. The ceremony was also grand, although complicated, but still simpler than the succession ceremony. Zhulan and other ladies of honor were waiting in the harem, waiting to meet the Empress.
Zhulan is now also a lady, Madam Yang, a second-rank official, and her position is very advanced because she is the wife of the six ministers, and all of her neighbors are wives of ministers.
Zhulan was not the fattest, but she was the youngest. Being fat made her look younger, so she stood out among a group of old ladies.
Zhulan didn't feel anything about meeting the new empress. She moved her ears and could still hear the sound of palace music. She thought about the process that Changyi had explained to her, and that the empress would not be back until a while later.
These ladies were treated well. Not only was there a place to sit while they were waiting, but there was also a place to go to the toilet, which was very convenient.
Zhulan thought of the concubines, and several princesses were not with the ladies of honor.
In the room where Xue Han was waiting, she drank tea and observed her sisters-in-law. Princess Qi's second sister-in-law followed her mother's words and let herself go. Well, the second sister-in-law looked the best. Even though her mother-in-law moved into the palace, Princess Qi still had no trouble.
The one with the worst expression was my third sister-in-law, Princess Chu. Thinking of the gossip that her mother had told her, the Chu Palace was very lively. No wonder Princess Chu had to put thick powder on her face.
The fourth sister-in-law is no longer as sharp as before. Ever since the palace coup, the Liang Palace has been trying to become invisible, so now the fourth sister-in-law tries to keep quiet.
Xue Han withdrew her gaze and thought of the harem. On the second day after the emperor ascended the throne, all the women and children from the prince's backyard entered the palace. Thinking of this, Xue Han thought of the decree of canonization and her face became a little subtle. There would be a big show soon.
When the empress returns to the harem, the first person she sees is the prince. The prince’s biological mother has to sit behind because she has no title. The prince has been a prince since the emperor ascended the throne.
After the prince comes the princess, and even if she doesn't have a title she is still a princess.
Today is the Queen's big day, a day that belongs exclusively to the Queen. Untitled women must wait until tomorrow to be officially titled before they can come to pay their respects.
The Queen sat there enjoying the audience from Princess Qi and others, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, but they still had to bow down at her feet.
While waiting for the ladies to come to pay their respects, Zhulan was so tired of sitting.
The first thing I saw when I came in was the Empress. People are in high spirits when they are happy. The most representative example is the Empress today, who is radiant!
