At sunset, Mei Xiaoren carried a few pairs of medicines given to her by Xingyunsai, and returned to her home in the south of the city with heavy worries.

What she was worried about still happened, and someone reported her purchase of an official to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a letter, obviously hoping that her "political enemies" would deal with her severely.

This person is really well-intentioned in order to make her never recover.

Mei Xiaoren set up a stove in the yard, brought a small bench and sat in front of the stove to decoct the medicine for herself, she held a pu fan, fanning the fire while thinking.

Suddenly, the fan in her hand was taken away, and she came back to her senses and saw Ye Zhi bring a stool and sit aside, decocting medicine for her.

"Lord Ye, how can you do these jobs now, let's do it with me." Mei Xiaoren said with a smile, reaching out to take the pu fan. Ye Zhi quickly moved his hand, not wanting to give it to her.

Ye Zhi only asked: "Do adults know how to boil medicine?" ”

Mei Xiaoren was speechless, she didn't seem to know much, and she really hadn't done anything like boiling medicine.

Ye Zhi lifted the lid and took a look, and silently went to the stove room to fetch a bowl of water and added it to the medicine jar, "The decoction needs three bowls of water to make a bowl, and when the adult decoction of this medicine is done, I am afraid that there will only be medicine residue left." ”

"Really?" Mei Xiaoren responded casually, holding his chin with one hand, with a sad face.

"What's wrong with you, sir?"

Mei Xiaoren frowned and asked, "Old Ye, is there anyone in your ministry who has an enmity with me, or is there anyone who looks at me unpleasantly?" ”

"Do you mean a new hatred or an old hatred?"

She said lightly: "The new hatred and the old hatred are the same, in short, I wish I couldn't die well." ”

Ye Zhi thought for a while, looked at the tongue of fire spit out from the stove, and said slowly: "What do adults think, Wu Xian counts?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi in shock, stunned, and then patted his forehead, and suddenly realized: "How did I forget him!" ”

Ye Zhiyun was in a fog, "What happened to the adult?" ”

She and Ye Zhi met on the way to take office, Ye Zhi didn't know about her buying an official, so Mei Xiaoren beckoned and said no.

"Wu Xian is a very deep city, and he is comparable to Gao Tongzhi in the past, adults should be more careful and beware of any conspiracy he plays."

Mei Xiaoren nodded.

"I'll keep an eye on him in the yamen, don't worry."

"Lao Ye, thank you." Mei Xiaoren sighed with a smile, "Now that I have my own errand, I don't forget to think about it." ”

"Adults are kind to me and my mother, no matter where I am, I will always put adults first." Ye Zhi also smiled and said, "I heard that Tao Mansion Yin has already been on the fold, and I ask Your Majesty and Gu Xiang to allow him to return to his hometown. ”

Mei Xiaoren beckoned, "It's not that easy, I've only been in Beijing for a long time, how can I be promoted again and again, what does this make my colleagues in the capital think?" ”

"But if the adults don't take the top, won't the post of Fu Yin be vacant?"

"I guess I should be temporary, at least until the prince of Xia Kingdom is beheaded, after all, this case is my trial."

Although the prince of Xia was convicted of a capital crime before, it was just as the New Year was approaching, in order to prevent the national fortune of Daning, Shangjing in the month of Layue and the first month could not see blood, so the prisoner was also detained in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he was beheaded in February.

On the first day of the Yamen after the New Year's Festival, Emperor Tianhong summoned all the Beijing officials to the palace hall. It is said that he did this every year, as a monarch to boost the morale of his courtiers at the beginning of the year.

In the main hall, hundreds of officials stood on both sides, and Mei Xiaoren also stood in the seat where she should stand.

As she had expected, she had received the documents from the ministry early in the morning. The Ministry of Officials asked her to temporarily take charge of the duties of the Fuyin in the capacity of the Fucheng, and take charge of the affairs of the Shangjing Prefecture Office.

Although Wei Guogong arranged her to the Shangjing Mansion Bureau, he planned to help her take the position after Tao Fu Yin returned to his hometown, but no one expected that Tao Fu Yin would go so fast......

Now she has neither the experience of serving in Shangjing, nor the great merit, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public when she sits there.

So she has to wait patiently, be diligent and diligent for a few years, or seize any opportunity to make a great contribution, in order to get the position of Fu Yin.

Emperor Tianhong asked the Ministry of Rites to read out his New Year's speech, and then exhorted some innocuous words such as "keep up the good work......

The ministers thought that the court meeting should end here, but who knew that Emperor Tianhong didn't want them to disperse.

Emperor Tianhong was still sitting upright on the Danbi and looked at the man in front of him: "Gu Qing, at the beginning of the new year, the state affairs are heavy, and I hope that Gu Qing can continue to help me share the burden." He also said, "The loyalty of your Gu family, I understand, before the resignation of Prime Minister Gu, I entrusted me to take care of you on his behalf, I remember that you are twenty-four this year, and you have never made a marriage contract with anyone." ”

Gu Chuyu nodded.

"The Gu family is in a single lineage, your marriage, I am also as concerned as your elders, I will take advantage of the joy of the New Year today to point you to a family business."

Gu Chuyu listened expressionlessly, the people behind him had already laughed, and he glanced back before Wei Shuying shut up.

The other officials stood silently, and no one dared to interject, but most of them looked at Emperor Tianhong with their heads in wait, curious about whose daughter Emperor Tianhong wanted to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Only Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes.

Emperor Tianhong said: "The county lord of Haoyang has been raised in the palace by the queen mother since he was a child, and he has been named the county lord, his status is noble, and he has already known you. ”

Gu Chuyu said: "Your Majesty, the marriage of the minister is not a major matter of the country, Your Majesty does not need to take it to heart, if you want to say that there is a single line, how can the royal family not be like this, the inheritance of the royal bloodline is the important thing, His Royal Highness King Yu has not yet married the concubine, and it is more appropriate for Your Majesty to point out the lord of Haoyang County to His Royal Highness." He continued, "Although the county lord of Haoyang is the county lord, she is the orphan of the hero, not the royal family, and His Majesty will give her to His Royal Highness, which can also show His Majesty's imperial grace and grace." ”

"Gu Chuyu, you ......" Jiang Rong was annoyed and anxious, and hurriedly bowed his hand to the palace, "Father, the son can't marry Haoyang, besides, Haoyang obviously likes Gu Xiang, what's the matter with Guan Erchen!" ”

After Jiang Rong finished speaking, he threw countless eye knives at Gu Chuyu.

Gu Chuyu's face still had no expression, and he waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty just said that at the beginning of the new year, the state affairs are busy, and the ministers still have official affairs to deal with, so they will retire first." ”

Gu Chuyu just said, turned around and left, without waiting for anyone to agree.

Emperor Tianhong frowned, and helplessly brushed his sleeves: "Then let's all disperse." ”

The ministers retired.

When the crowd began to pour out of the hall, Gu Chuyu slowed down his pace, deliberately waiting to walk side by side with one person.

He didn't look at her, and Mei Xiaoren didn't talk to him, but there were people in front and behind, and she couldn't leave, so she could only follow him.

As she descended the steps, a whisper came from her ear: "Pretending to be a." ”

Mei Xiaoren glanced at him inexplicably, and from the shape of his slightly opened lips, he could see that he was saying "obedient".

Although she didn't quite understand, she did as he said, and when she stepped on the next step, she deliberately skimmed her feet, and then bent her knees and pretended not to stand firmly.

Suddenly, there was a warm sensation in her palm.

He took her hand and held her up, telling her in a natural and gentle tone, "Be careful. ”

Gu Chuyu's voice was not small, and the action of pulling her hand was even more obvious......

Mei Xiaoren only felt that countless eyes were coming towards her all around, and she immediately looked around and saw those ministers competing to withdraw their gazes, and then they all looked at the sky.

That's how they pretend...... Mei Xiaoren's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.
