After that, Xue devoted himself to the work of the "emperor", and Sima Cheng assisted him.

Sima Yun's records, the results of the ranks, and the list of vacant officials, coupled with Shen Xing's previous information, finally asked Gonggong Jiang to go to the imperial study to get the roll paper written by the students at that time. A large table was set up with various materials such as paper scrolls, bamboo slips, and rosters.

Xue and Sima Cheng worked together to analyze each of the new officials, Xue put forward his own ideas, Sima Cheng corroborated them, the two cooperated tacitly, and things went smoothly.

However, due to the sheer volume of the content, it was late at night when it was completed.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be in such a hurry." Sima Cheng said while sorting out the things on the bookcase.

"It's okay, it's just that if this thing is not done, my heart will not be steady."

Xue stretched her waist, looking at the list of officials that had been filled, Xue couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Sima Cheng didn't speak, Xue suddenly remembered that just now Sima Cheng was talking about the three adults in the imperial study who were tired of Xue but didn't know, suddenly turned his head, put the things in his hand, and walked quickly to Sima Cheng, staring at his face.

As the snow suddenly approached, Sima Cheng subconsciously took a step back, slightly surprised, leaned over, and said:

"Your Majesty, are your subordinates misdoing anything?"

Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved her hand, walked to the dining table, poured herself a cup of honey tea soup, and said:

"No, no. I'm just worried that you'...... Isn't it also tired. “

Although Xue was excited because he had completed a big event, after the excitement passed, Xue also felt faint, sleepy, and there was no lack of laziness in his words.

Regarding Xue's sudden concern, Sima Cheng was slightly stunned, straightened up, and replied in a normal tone:

"The subordinates are fine, Your Majesty Lao is worried." After saying that, he continued to do what he was doing.

"You are even more useful than Xun, Zuo, and Pei, I have to worry about you."

Maybe it was because of the happiness, coupled with the honey tea soup that made her feel comfortable physically and mentally, at this moment, Xueyan blurted out with a smile in her eyes.

When Sima Cheng heard this, his body shook, and he lost his voice for a while, and only after a while did he say lightly:

"Your Majesty has praised it."

Xue didn't speak, walked to the window, gently pushed open the wooden window, the night wind inadvertently hit, and Xue unconsciously tightened his sleeves.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and tonight's bright moon has become extraordinarily bright.

The moonlight is as gentle as water, just like the hands of the mother concubine when she was a child, gently caressing the snow's head, and thousands of thoughts are temporarily left behind, and the snow enjoys a little tranquility.

Seeing this, out of the vigilance of the guards, Sima Cheng also walked towards the window, Xue looked up at the moon, while Sima Cheng lowered his eyes and watched the snow, and from time to time he would pay attention to the surrounding situation.

The two stood together under a round of moonlight, and although the moon was not yet full, each other's hearts seemed to have been filled with something.

Slowly, Xue opened her eyes, and turned her mind, Xue remembered the events of the night of the banquet, about Sima Yun's life experience, Xue didn't have time to ask Sima Cheng clearly, she was just about to speak, when she heard a knock on the door.

Father-in-law Jiang, who was waiting in the façade, saw the window of the study open, probably because the important matter was over, so he hurriedly asked people to warm pear soup and sent it to Xue.

Xue saw the figure of Father-in-law Jiang from the window, and was suddenly interrupted, and was displeased, but it must be that Father-in-law Jiang came late at night because of something.

Xue motioned for Sima Cheng to close the paper window, said "enter", and then turned around and returned to the hall.

Father-in-law Jiang entered the study with pear soup, and was about to salute Xue, but Xue walked directly to him, took the pear soup and put it on the dining table, pulled up Father-in-law Jiang, and pretended to be angry and said:

"It's all said, Grandpa Jiang, if you don't have outsiders, you don't need so much etiquette, I'm annoyed to look at it."

After Xue finished speaking, he inevitably argued with Jiang Gonggong on the issue of etiquette, Xue already knew Jiang Gonggong's path, and Kuaiyu grabbed his tirade, and the study laughed.

Sima Cheng on the side silently stared at the one in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this time it was the true face of snow, and a light smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Grandpa Jiang, what is the matter with you looking for me so late?"

I laughed at the joke, and I couldn't forget the business, and after Xue finished speaking, she walked towards the bookcase.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival." Father-in-law Jiang hurriedly responded.

"Mid-Autumn Festival...... Is there a palace banquet? Didn't I say that now everything is thrifty, and I won't do it? Snow looked puzzled.

"As Your Majesty said, this palace banquet is gone, but what about the family banquet......" Jiang Gonggong wanted to speak and stopped.

Xue was stunned when she heard this, and Sima Cheng was also stunned.

The family banquet is the banquet of the Sima royal family, and it is the banquet attended by the Empress Dowager Xun, Sima Lie, Sima, Sima He and other royal relatives.

Xue and the prince haven't seen each other alone for a long time, but seeing each other in the court every day is not a special concern, and it doesn't hurt to get together, but this is the two troubles that have to be brought with Sima Lie and Sima He, thinking of this, Xue couldn't help frowning.

Sima Cheng's words included the prince, so he leaned over and bowed his hand, signaling to retreat, and Xue waved his hand and said no.

"If you want to hold a family banquet, it will be tomorrow night, but the invitation has to be sent early in the morning, and the old slave saw that His Majesty was worried about state affairs, so he didn't come to report for a long time, please forgive Your Majesty."

Grandpa Jiang explained, that's why he had to wait outside all the time.

"It doesn't matter." Xue said.

was silent for a while, thinking that if she held this banquet, she would have to put on a mask in front of everyone, bother to act in a play, and mediate with Sima Lie, just thinking about it made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, but this Mid-Autumn Festival, clan reunion, is the tradition of Dayu.

When Gonggong Jiang saw that Xue was full of sadness, and he also knew the difficulties of Xue, he put forward a note:

"Your Majesty, just call yourself sick."

These words came out of the mouth of the stubborn Jiang Gonggong, which made Xue is surprised and happy, it happened that Xue still wanted to go to the Tai Hospital to find Si Kui tomorrow, which saved trouble, although it was inevitable that Empress Dowager Xun would be worried, but it would be good to explain it later.

Xue happily looked at Sima Cheng's reaction, only to see Sima Cheng looking elsewhere, it can be seen that he intends to act as if he didn't see it.

Sima Cheng naturally understands Xue's thoughts, but this kind of thing, as a royal family of the Sima clan, he should obviously avoid suspicion, but Xue wants to pretend to be sick in front of him, is this convenient in the future, if he is discovered, it is good to find him to deal with the aftermath?

Sima Cheng smiled bitterly, but Xue's next words quickly overturned his thoughts.

"Young Master Cheng, you can also go back to the palace tomorrow, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will also have a good gathering with the prince, Lord Shen, and General Yang." Xue Waner smiled, with tenderness in her eyes.

Maybe it was a little envious, but as soon as these words came out, Xue couldn't help but feel a burst of melancholy in her heart.

"And if I'm sick, you'll be fine here." With a playful and relaxed tone, Snow added.

At this point, it seems that Xue is determined to let Sima Cheng go back, Sima Cheng will no longer do much, and give up his orders, Xue nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"Then Cheng Gongzi will go back to rest quickly, you can go back to the house tomorrow morning, but don't forget that you are my personal guard, at the latest, in the afternoon of the next day, I will see you in the imperial study."

Sima Cheng was interested, so he withdrew from the study, closed the door, and could faintly hear the sound of Xue and Jiang Gonggong talking and laughing inside.

Li Xuan, the son of Li Zhi, the servant of Shangshu, Fan Zheng, the nephew of Du Yu, the secretary of the ministry, Zheng Lang, the son of Zheng Li, the son of Zheng Li, the king of Zuomin Shangshu, Wang Su of the Gubian clan, and Cui Lin and Lu Yizhi, who have entered the court as officials, and there are also two sons of the Jiangdong Shi clan Lu Tong and Lu Jin, as well as the southern clans of the Jiangdong Hao clan Gu clan and the Lujiang clan Zhou clan.

They are Jin Yuze, the son of the Xiongnu military general in the Zudi army, and An Zhi, the son of An, the leader of the Lite caravan who regularly visits Dayu and surrounding countries.

Sima Cheng slowly walked to the courtyard, looked up at the sky and the moon, and never left for a long time.
