As darkness fell, the older ministers were already finding it difficult to continue.
Looking at Chi Yan again, he was still full of energy. There was already a stack of toilet paper at his feet. If this continued, his body would not collapse, but the old guys would collapse first!
The Grand Secretary stood up and cleared his throat: "Chi Yan, I think we should call it a day for now?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yan subconsciously replied, "No need, this humble subject can hold on a little longer."
As he finished speaking, he noticed the silence around him and looked up, only to meet the resentful gazes of several ministers.
Chi Yan: "..."
Cough cough, it seems a bit like elder abuse.
He changed the subject, blinked, and readily agreed: "Now that you mention it, I'm a bit tired. Let's continue tomorrow."
The group's eyes lit up with relief, and smiles appeared on their faces. After saying goodbye to each other, they all left the palace.
A palace servant took away the answer sheet in front of Chi Yan. He stood up and stretched his stiff limbs. Just then, he caught sight of Eunuch Fu entering the room and politely asked, "Eunuch, may I ask where I will be sleeping tonight?"
With a smile, Eunuch Fu said, "No rush, young master, are you hungry? Let us have someone serve you a meal first."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chi Yan's eyes. They even provide meals?
He thought that at most they would offer some pastries and tea to tide him over.
He had tasted all sorts of delicacies, but he had never actually eaten imperial cuisine before. Chi Yan's eyes showed a hint of anticipation: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch!"
Seeing his cheerful appearance, Eunuch Fu's expression also became more friendly. As someone on duty before the Emperor, he dared to guess some of His Majesty's thoughts. This Second Young Master Chi was a man with great potential, and he was happy to establish a good relationship with him in advance.
Who would have thought?
In just a few years, the Chi family has produced a second notable figure besides the heir, a spoiled brat whom no one takes seriously!
Logically speaking, having one dominant family is not a good thing, but I heard that the Chi family split up a few days ago, which is interesting.
The palace maids carried out the exquisitely arranged imperial dishes one by one. Chi Yan's mouth watered at the sight, but he also followed the rules and waited for Eunuch Fu to give the order before starting to eat.
The more Eunuch Fu looked at this Second Young Master Chi, the more he felt that he was a wonderful person. He was lively, yet very tactful and not annoying. He smiled and said, "Please enjoy your meal, young master. I still have to go and serve His Majesty."
Chi Yan put down her chopsticks, smiled, and stood up: "Take care, Father-in-law."
Once you enter the palace, you can't underestimate anyone. Anyone who can thrive in this cutthroat world is no ordinary person, especially one who is a favorite of the emperor.
As soon as Eunuch Fu stepped out of the palace gate, he asked in surprise, "Greetings, Third Prince. What brings you here at this hour?"
Normally, by this time, the other party would have already returned to the prince's residence.
Chi Yan paused slightly, then looked up towards the door: Third Prince? The Third Prince?
Yan Xingzhou smiled casually and glanced into the hall: "I heard that Young Master Chi is taking the exam here. I was curious about what kind of person he is that Father Emperor would personally summon him, so I came to see."
A hint of something ambiguous appeared in Eunuch Fu's eyes. The Third Prince had become increasingly reckless lately. Even the Crown Prince, who had some connection with this person inside, knew to avoid suspicion.
You, a complete stranger, have come all this way to see me!
He didn't show it on his face, but smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness can come and see, but it's best not to stay too long. Young Master Chi's situation is special, and it's not advisable for him to have too much contact with outsiders."
