Li Xiu'er entered the palace, there was no news for the time being, Ji Ning could only wait outside the palace first, he came out of Qi Niang, his mood was still a little uncertain, he was thinking about Zhao Yuanrong.

At this time, he suddenly saw a teahouse on the side of the road, and couldn't help but think that he had come over with Qin Yuanyuan to drink tea before, and discussed things by the way, during this time, Ji Ning had not been in touch with Qin Yuanyuan for a long time, and Qin Yuanyuan seemed to have disappeared after Zhao Yuanrong ascended the throne.

"Qi Niang still knows to go to the new emperor to invite merit, where has Qin Yuanyuan gone now?" Ji Ning was a little puzzled in her heart, "Did she hide in this turmoil, or did she encounter any problems?" ”

With questions, Ji Ning first went to Qin Yuanyuan's previous basic secret contact locations to inquire, and found that these places were all empty houses, leaving no clues at all, it seemed that Qin Yuanyuan had withdrawn his business from the capital, and now he couldn't search for Qin Yuanyuan's existence at all. The doubts in Ji Ning's heart were deeper, he searched for a long time, but he didn't find any clues, and even some of the secret contact methods that Qin Yuanyuan gave him before couldn't take effect, it seemed that Qin Yuanyuan had no existence in the capital.

"Master, who are we going to?" Li Lu asked with puzzlement.

Ji Ning said: "It's looking for an old man, don't ask more, now that no one can find it, let's go back to the house first, and then come out if there is something, and then you will go to Lin Er when you turn around, and you don't need to come over to help for the time being." ”

The relationship between Li Lu and Ji Ning was already very good, and he nodded and said, "What the master said is that after the villain, he went to Lin Dangjia and asked him to arrange errands for the villain." Master, if you lack any manpower here, just tell Master Lin, and the villain will come over to help......"

……

……

Li Jing sent his daughter into the palace, and her daughter was picked up by the eunuchs and palace maids sent by Zhao Yuanrong.

"I don't know what Your Majesty means? Now Your Majesty also knows about me sending my daughter away, and she also said that she wants to marry the little girl, so it won't be to marry the little girl to Ji Ning's kid, right? This kid is clearly against me, I must not marry my daughter to Ji Ning, but now there is only His Majesty's power in the court, and who is close to His Majesty is really not very clear, so I don't know what will happen when I turn back. Maybe it is useful to bribe Zhang Zuoxiang, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are not many people around him to help, Zhang Zuoxiang is old and serious, and he will definitely be able to become His Majesty's right-hand man. ”

Li Jing was already thinking about how to bribe others at this time, but he didn't know that because he gave birth to a good daughter, his future was also very bright, because his daughter would bring him a lot of political convenience.

At this moment, Shang Shu ordered Li Dan to come out of Shangshutai, and when he saw Li Jing, Li Dan came over with a smile and saluted: "Isn't this Li Shilang?" Congratulations, congratulations. ”

Although Li Dan's status in the court is not very high, he is also Shang Shuling, and his status is higher than Li Jing, Li Dan is more like a villain who flies and dogs, and Li Jing still has some disdain for people like Li Dan.

"It turned out to be Li Butai, what you mean, the official doesn't understand it, what is the joy, where does this joy come from?" Li Jing and Li Dan are ministers with the same surname in the DPRK, and in the DPRK, this is already a very close relationship, Li Jing said.

Li Dan smiled: "Shouldn't this be congratulated?" Li Shilang has now been transferred by His Majesty to the left Shilang of the household department, in the case of the vacancy of the household book, it is the business of the Shangshu, it seems that the day when you are transferred to the Shangshu is not far away, it seems that Your Majesty trusts you very much! ”

Li Jing was stunned, he hadn't heard of it himself, but he was surprised when Li Dan said it, but he was relieved to think about it, Li Dan was also a person from Shangshutai, as the drafting and issuance of government decrees, the news of Shangshutai was indeed more well-informed than the news outside.

"Li Butai, you're not...... Just kidding, right? Li Jing vaguely felt that all this was related to his daughter, but he was not sure, so he asked in a tentative tone.

Li Dan laughed and said, "Li Shilang, do you think I'm going to joke with you?" This kind of thing will be announced by the imperial court immediately, so what good is it for me to say these things? ”

Just as he was talking, a eunuch came over in the distance, Li Dan smiled and said: "No, the person who sent the edict from the palace has arrived, it seems that arrangements have been made after all, I won't bother you, and when you are promoted, remember to go and drink with us, haha, there is still a necessary friendship between the court and China." ”

Li Jing also tried to enter Li Dan's camp before, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and then he didn't do this kind of thinking, and now he himself suddenly gained power because of his daughter, and he even felt that Li Dan had "climbed" himself.

"Li Shilang, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Wanshou Hall to speak, and please come over." The eunuch came and preached.

Li Jing saluted slightly, and then followed the little eunuch to the direction of the Wanshou Palace, and when he arrived in the Wanshou Palace, Li Jing looked very respectful, and it didn't take long for Zhao Yuanrong to appear in front of Li Jing.

"Li Shilang, you still sent your daughter into the palace." Zhao Yuanrong said.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty." Li Jing hurriedly went to salute.

Zhao Yuanrong said: "As for what I have seen and seen, it is just some etiquette...... I have called you this time to discuss something with you. There is a vacancy in the head of the household, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being, I am ready to select from the head of the household, and you, as the right attendant of the household department, although you have the ability, but the qualifications are not very deep, so I will let you first do a few months in the position of the left servant of the household department, and if you do well, I will promote you to the secretary. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your promotion!" When Li Jing learned of this situation, he felt joy descending from heaven and saluted respectfully.

"Don't be too happy, I do all this with conditions." Zhao Yuanrong said, "I want to give your daughter a marriage, and the person who gives you the marriage is Ji Ning, a scholar of the Temple of Literature." Ji Ning assisted me to ascend the throne, he is the most important adviser in my mind, I want to give him a marriage, if you don't agree, I won't count your promotion, you think about it yourself. ”

"Huh?" Li Jing didn't expect that Zhao Yuanrong would actually take Li Xiuer's marriage as a condition in exchange.

He was already determined not to marry his daughter to Ji Ning, but now he has no choice, because once he doesn't agree to this marriage, it means that his future will be completely ruined.

He is a person who can sacrifice everything for his own future, before he could send Li Xiu'er to the palace as a show girl, let alone marry his daughter to a scholar of the Temple of Literature like Ji Ning in exchange for his official position.

The old minister agreed. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage. Li Jing said cheekily.
