Chapter 332: See you in the palace
“…… Bachelor of Honour and Hanlin Academy......"
In the empty hall, Emperor Chen's voice was still echoing, and Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, stood in place in a daze, his expression was incredulous.
Although he was named Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, he was promoted as an exception to be promoted as a marriage envoy, but this also means that when he comes back from the Chu State, no matter which part he goes to, the official position will not be lower than that of the fifth grade.
From the entrance examination to the present, it is only a year to be able to be promoted from the sixth-grade virtual position to the fifth-grade substantive position.
You must know that the new branch jinshi needs to be qualified, and it is particularly difficult to be promoted, and he was the second jinshi in the first class in the past, and it took him a full ten years to climb to the position of the ceremonial langzhong step by step......
Ten years later, it's really sad to think about.
However, his rite department is only a temporary position, and in the past few months, he doesn't know what will happen, and he only needs to follow Lord Shangshu's instructions and send this person away.
……
Changning Palace.
A palace maid looked at the female official in front of her pleadingly, and said, "Cui Shangyi, just let the princess rest, the princess has been practicing for a day......"
The middle-aged female official looked at her and said coldly: "If the princess doesn't learn the etiquette of the palace well, when she arrives in the Chu State, she will definitely be ridiculed, and how will the royal family have face at that time?" ”
She looked at the girl who was biting her lower lip and moving her steps with difficulty, and said, "Your Highness, time is urgent, someone from the Ministry of Rites will come tomorrow, and you will have to learn more when the time comes, please practice a few more times......
The girl's ankles had been worn out, but she didn't care about it, but her eyes were a little confused, and only when she looked up at the flat blue sky outside the palace, did she occasionally shine with brilliance.
……
Tang Huai would eventually think of letting him be the wedding envoy, which was expected by Tang Ning, and as for Emperor Chen would promote him to two official ranks and directly let him sit in the position of the Ministry of Rites, it was something that Tang Ning did not expect.
According to common sense, when he returns from the state of Chu and returns to the court, it will be a new starting point.
He doesn't have any special feelings about the promotion of official ranks, but it is a small grade, and now he can also be promoted from a sixth-rank order to a fifth-grade order, which is another gain.
During the meal, Chen Yuxian looked at him with some concern and asked: "Your Majesty is good, how could you think of letting you be the wedding envoy, the country of Chu is so far away, this time and again, I am afraid it will take at least half a year, if it is delayed for some time, I don't know if I can come back this year......
Zhong Mingli put down his chopsticks and said: "This is also a kind of experience for His Majesty, reading thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, he went to Chu as a marriage envoy, after he came back, his knowledge will be more extensive, as a marriage envoy, even jump two levels, the officials of the DPRK and China will not have any objections, otherwise, he will need at least five years from the sixth grade to the fifth grade." ”
Chen Yuxian thought of something, and suddenly said: "So, Ning Er is now from the fifth grade, only half a level lower than you?" ”
Zhong Mingli coughed embarrassedly, picked up chopsticks, and continued to eat.
He went from a county magistrate in another state to nearly 20 years to get to his current position, but Tang Ning's promotion was as casual as eating and drinking, and as a father-in-law, he couldn't help but feel a little hot.
What makes him even hotter is that he can sit in the position of Ping'an County Commander, which is also stained with his son-in-law's light......
Whether it is designated as a wedding envoy or promoted two levels in a row, it is a thing worth celebrating, after the family banquet, when Tang Ning returned to the courtyard, he saw Tang Yaoyao sitting on the wall.
The time has just entered February, and the afternoon breeze is no longer so cold, with a little bit of the warmth of the spring breeze.
Tang Yaoyao sat on the wall in a daze, the setting sun was behind her, her hair was ruffled by the breeze, and it was dyed with a layer of gold by the light coming from behind her.
"Hey!"
Tang Ning walked into the courtyard and shouted at her.
Tang Yaoyao's body shook, obviously startled by him, jumped down from the wall, and said angrily: "You want to die!" ”
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”
Spring has arrived, and the cats outside are meowing more happily, and even Tang Yaoyao is different from before.
Tang Yaoyao didn't answer his question and asked, "Are you going to Chu State?" ”
Tang Ning explained: "This is the arrangement of the imperial court, and I can't help it. ”
"Xiaoyi told me." Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said, "You went for the princess." ”
"Friends are in trouble, and it is incumbent upon them." Tang Ning looked at her and said: "Last time you were forced to marry, I won't help you find a way, if your father forces you again in the future, you still look for me, I guarantee that no one in the entire Chen Kingdom will dare to marry you." ”
As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, Tang Ning feels that he has a bit of a bad character, and he does these things that ruin people's marriages, this time in addition to sending the marriage envoy, according to the arrangement of the imperial court, he also has to help King Kang propose marriage, what kind of person is Miss Li, she is amazing, both civil and military, King Kang is a straw bag, is he worthy?
This matter, when he arrives in Chu State, he will talk to her in person.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "Just for the princess, don't you want to meet Li Tianlan?" ”
"Speaking from the heart, I still want to meet...... "After all, I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Tang Ning said from the heart, looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, and said: "Of course, when I go to Chu this time, I will also miss your ......"
"Who is rare!"
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him, stepped on the stone table and flew back to his yard.
Tang Ning looked down and found that there were already a few more cracks on the edge of the stone table, and muttered: "Jump over the wall, jump over the wall, what kind of dark energy do you use......"
Across the wall, Tang Yaoyao stood in the courtyard, took out a stacked piece of paper from his purse, and opened it.
There was a signature written on the paper.
"It's like a phoenix going to Qinlou, and the clouds gather in Wushan."
She crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said angrily, "What a broken lot! ”
She walked to her room with some anger, and halfway there, she turned back again, picked up the paper ball on the floor, smoothed out the folds, folded it again, and put it in her purse again......
……
Ministry of Rites.
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to the yamen in the morning, they immediately got two pieces of news.
The position of the princess's wedding envoy was held by the new Tang director, and His Majesty, in order to match his official position with the identity of the wedding envoy, directly promoted him to the Ministry of Rites, and suddenly became the third person in the Ministry of Rites.
The three wedding envoys designated by the Ministry of Rites before, one fell ill suddenly, one was arrested and imprisoned, and the other was seriously injured by a carriage at the door of his house.
Now that the broom star meets the broom star, I don't know what kind of sparks will collide, and many people in the Ministry of Rites are waiting to see it.
As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the host and guest officer Wai Lang knocked on the door and walked in, bowed and said: "Lord Tang, the preliminary etiquette regulations, the host and guest department have been formulated, and you need to enter the palace to hand over to the female officials of the princess's mansion, if there is anything inappropriate, then discuss......"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Put it down." ”
Changning Palace.
The little palace maid sat on the edge of the bed, shedding tears while rubbing medicine for Zhao Man, looking at her worn ankles, and said angrily: "Your Highness, Cui Shangyi is too bad, last time she beat and scolded the palace maid and was punished by the princess, she did it on purpose this time, let's tell Your Majesty!" ”
The girl's brows furrowed slightly because of the pain, but she still shook her head and said, "No need, anyway, in a few days, I won't be able to see her......"
The little palace maid lowered her head, quickly raised it again, and said, "Princess, will I accompany you to go for a walk outside in a while......"
"No, the road in the palace has been walked many, many times." The girl shook her head, seemingly uninterested in anything.
Two figures walked in from outside, and a female official stood outside the tent and said: "Your Highness, the people from the Ministry of Rites have already come, and it is Lord Lang Zhongtang of the Ministry of Rites, who was selected by His Majesty as the wedding envoy, to discuss the etiquette regulations, princess ......."
"Lord Tang......" In the tent, the girl's spirit lifted slightly, and she quickly declined, muttering: "The ...... of the Ministry of Rites"
She interrupted the female official's words through the curtain, looked at the figure, and said, "Let him discuss with Cui Shangyi, I'm a little tired, you guys go out first." ”
Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "Your Highness have a good rest, and the minister will retire." ”
Hearing a voice that was no longer familiar, the girl's body shook, and she jumped off the bed barefoot, and when Tang Ning looked up, he saw a head poking out from behind the curtain.
