Kunning Palace in the West Warm Pavilion.

Empress Zhang gave a seat to a group of women. Li Guang stood aside.

Liu Xiaoyan sat under Empress Zhang. The wives cast envious glances at Liu Xiaoyan.

She's not even a lady, she's just pleasant. Every time she entered the palace, she sat next to Queen Zhang. This is the supreme honor.

Empress Zhang talked and laughed with the women. Liu Xiaoyan frowned tightly and didn't say a word.

As noon approached, the wives dispersed.

Empress Zhang asked, "Sister, are you worried?"

Before Empress Zhang entered the palace, she exchanged birthday posts with Liu Xiaoyan and worshiped the righteous sisters. Where there are no outsiders, Empress Zhang has always called her "sister". And don't call yourself "Hongu".

Liu Xiaoyan said softly, "No, there's nothing to worry about."

Empress Zhang was a little anxious and held Liu Xiaoyan's hand: "Sister, is there anything that sisters can't say?"

Liu Xiaoyan "fluttered" and knelt down for Empress Zhang: "Empress Yu, it's not that the concubine intends to hide it from you. The sorrows encountered by the concubines are related to the government and politics, and they dare not talk nonsense in the harem."

Empress Zhang hurriedly helped Liu Xiaoyan up: "Sister, please get up." We are godsisters who change posts. No matter what is political or family, you can talk to me."

Liu Xiaoyan had no choice but to say, "My father served as a political envoy in Beizhili."

Empress Zhang said, "I know this. At the beginning, I participated in the audition of the East Palace. It's better to let Zun and my brother-in-law change my name so that I can be selected."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "My father seems to have entered the list of Zhishi."

Empress Zhang wanted to help Liu Xiaoyan, but she didn't say anything. She turned her head to look at Li Guang, "Pay attention to this."

There have been personnel changes in the Cabinet, as have the Celebrant Supervisor.

The position of the palm print is Wynne's, and the thunder cannot be moved.

Xiao Jing, Li Guang, and Qian Neng joined the celebrant and served as Bingbi.

Xiao Jing used to be the steward of the East Palace. The lord of the East Palace ascended the throne and became the Son of Heaven, and it was natural for him to enter the celebrant eunuch.

Qian Neng used to work as a town guard eunuch in Nanjing. This masochist is Wang Shu's loyal little fan. In the month that Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, Qian Neng began to write letters and recommend Wang Shu.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that although Qian Neng was a eunuch, he had a good eye. Wang Shu is engaged in the official department, and Qian Neng can cooperate with him if he enters the celebrant supervisor.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi let Qian Neng do Bingbi. Qian Neng's godson Qian Ning is now a small flag under Chang Feng.

As for Li Guang. And he saw one. The emperor favored Empress Zhang alone, which is comparable to the emperor's sole favor of Wan Guifei.

Since Wang Zhi and Shang Ming relied on serving Concubine Wan back then, their power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Then I will serve Queen Zhang well, and I will definitely be able to hold great power in the future.

According to the rules, even if the master of ceremonies is also the steward of any palace, he does not need to serve by the master's side every day.

However, as long as Li Guang is free, he will come to Kunning Palace to serve Empress Zhang closely.

Empress Zhang spoke, asking Li Guang to "pay attention". Li Guang immediately kept this matter in his heart.

In all fairness. The next day, Li Guang was on duty at the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the latest batch of lists of orders handed over by the Ministry of Officials. Li Guang was on the side to study ink for him.

Emperor Hongzhi picked up the red pen and circled it dotted.

If there is a circle on the name, it will be ordered. If there is a red dot under the name, they will be demoted and appointed.

The tip of Emperor Hongzhi's pen was about to fall on "Liu Bingyi, the former political envoy of the Northern Zhili".

Li Guang reminded: "Your Majesty, this person is the father of Liu Xiaoyan, the queen's sister-in-law."

Perfect. Emperor Hongzhi is good in a thousand ways, but there is only one shortcoming, that is, he favors Empress Zhang too much.

Emperor Hongzhi said to himself, "Oh. The Chang family husband and wife are Ling'er's life-saving benefactors. Since there is such a relationship, it is not good for Liu Bingyi to be like this......

Emperor Hongzhi wrote a small note next to Liu Bingyi's name: The member was promoted to Taichang Siqing.

Although Taichang Siqing is in a high position, he has no real power. This official position belongs to the "Little Jiuqing" of the imperial court, and his status is noble.

But to put it bluntly, he is an official in charge of the military band and sacrificial ceremonies.

The transfer of the local political envoy to Taichang Siqing seemed to be a promotion on the surface. In fact, it is tantamount to losing real power.

Although Emperor Hongzhi did not let Liu Bingyi become a minister because of Empress Zhang's relationship, he did not plan to reuse him.

Let him hang up the title of the third grade and go to Taichang Temple to retire!

Emperor Hongzhi has already given face to Empress Zhang and the Chang family.

Finish reviewing the list. Emperor Hongzhi handed over the list to Li Guang.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "The official document of the order to be distributed in the name of Liu Ji, the first assistant of the cabinet."

Emperor Hongzhi was too sassy.

He left Liu Ji in the cabinet to be scolded for him. Anything that will attract hatred, he will do it in the name of Liu Ji.

Two days later, in the evening. Chang Feng sent home on a mission.

Liu Bingyi happily walked over with sugar candy in his arms.

Chang Feng asked, "Old Taishan is here." In the evening, my son-in-law will have a good drink with you."

Liu Bingyi said, "I called the cook from Fengrunyuan. Let them make a big feast!"

Chang Feng said: "Old Taishan is too expensive. If you don't have a festival, what kind of feast do you eat?"

Liu Bingyi's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, you have saved my official body for me. What is a big feast?"

Chang Feng was a little strange: "Keeping his official body?"

Liu Bingyi said, "Yes! The official department has just opened a transfer document. Promote me to Taichang Temple to be a temple secretary!"

"Although Taichang Siqing is an empty official, he is one of the little Jiuqing! Although I have lost my real power, I have kept my official position."

"Virtuous son-in-law, you must have begged the old minister, right? I know that the old minister is close friends with the ministry and the king."

Chang Feng froze in place. However, if you don't do it, you don't do it in vain. After a moment, he replied ambiguously, "Oh, it's still good for old Tarzan. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help if I wanted to."

In the evening, the family entered the table with joy.

Liu Bingyi smiled, "I have a cousin who is nine years old this year. It's the same age as Sugar Candy. I think it's better to set a baby kiss for the two of them? Let's Liu, Chang and the two families will kiss each other in the future, break the bones and connect the tendons!"

When Chang Feng heard this, he almost choked on the wine.

Boy. When I was down, you broke the marriage contract. Now that I'm developed, you're in a hurry to give a wedding contract?

Chang Feng hurriedly shirked it: "Tangtang is still small. Let's talk about marriage after the age of thirteen."

After eating, he sent his father-in-law away. Chang Feng went back to the bedroom with Liu Xiaoyan.

Chang Feng asked Liu Xiaoyan, "Did you find Queen Zhang for your father's business?"

Liu Xiaoyan flatly denied: "I didn't."

Chang Feng warned her: "Instigating the harem to interfere in government affairs is a big taboo. Whether you have it or not, don't do anything like that in the future."

Liu Xiaoyan said, "Oh, remember."

Chang Feng said again: "But it's okay if your father is promoted to Taichang Siqing. Taichang Temple is comparable to Nanjing's pension yamen. He doesn't have to get involved in political affairs in the future, just be his idle official with peace of mind. Be as happy as an earthly god."

Chang Feng is right, for Liu Bingyi, this is a good result.
