Chapter 15 Promotion
Moreover, Shui Zhen'an was a bit stubborn and rigid, and he was not very popular. He was only a fourth-grade official minister. He was scheming but of average ability. If someone with more ability than him appeared, he would be easily replaced.

Overall, Shui Baozhu is a person who is neither outstanding nor has a strong background.

However, Shui Baozhu was used to being pampered. She believed that she could really gain the emperor's favor and ascend to the throne. She was very proud of her mother's words.

Shui Miao didn't know his family's plan and focused on studying his own medical skills and future prospects.

A few days later, all the rashes on Shui Miao's body disappeared, leaving only pimples, which were very ugly. She was fine on her body, covered by clothes, but not on her face.

Shui Miao had not yet arranged many things and could not leave the palace for the time being. Therefore, the mark on Shui Miao's face was gradually fading away with the medicine prepared by Mr. Du in his previous life.

The emperor also sent someone to see her. He was relieved when the young eunuch said that the acne marks on Shui Miao's face were fading.

If his face is healed, then his body should also be healed. He doesn't want his concubine to be an ugly person, otherwise, the world won't know how to comment and ridicule her.

Thanks to her skin defects, not only did the emperor not bother her, but the concubines in the harem would come over from time to time to laugh at her openly and secretly, saying words of false concern, but not hiding the ridicule in their eyes.

Later, when they saw Shui Miao, he didn't become angry and his face was calm. This made them feel like they were the clowns, and gradually they stopped coming.

After all, if I have this time, I might as well think about how to please His Majesty. With favor, I can give birth to a prince, gain a better foothold in the harem, and maybe even think about my future position.

Shui Miao lived a peaceful and peaceful life for a period of time.

When the palace maids and eunuchs of Shishui Palace saw Shui Miao's disfigurement, they felt despair in their hearts. Some of them had even found a new home, but Shui Miao did not stop them and just watched with cold eyes.

After three or four people left, the remaining people actually wanted to leave, but they had no background and no ability. They had nowhere to adjust and had no choice but to stay.

After a few days of trepidation, I found that although the emperor did not come again, he did not issue an order to put his wife into the cold palace, so I put down my worries and did my own thing.

While Shuimiao was working hard to learn medical skills, several things happened in the court.

First, war broke out again on the border. The emperor appointed Xu Pingshan as the general of the border town, and went to the border to quell the chaos and retreat the enemy.

The second is that after Su Yan's last pawn, Li Qingsong, died, he wanted to put his own people in, but he was afraid that the emperor would get hold of him, so he gave up his position due to this delay.

Thirdly, Shui Miao's father, Shui Zhen'an, got promoted through some shitty luck and became a second-rank official. As long as the old minister resigned, no accident, he would be a first-rank official in the future.

Many people don't understand this promotion very well. Even if the ministers in the court are not thousand-year-old foxes, they are like wolves.

They all knew about Shui Miao's accident, and they all thought that the emperor would dislike the Shui family because of this. Who knew that there would be a reversal, and the old guy Shui Zhen'an's official position would be promoted instead of being demoted.

After going to court, everyone speculated about the purpose of the emperor's move. Could it be that His Majesty was trying to appease the Shui family?

There is no need to promote Shui Zhen'an to the second rank.

Or is it that the emperor fell in love with Shui Miao?

This isn't right. If he really fell in love with Shui Miao, wouldn't Shui Zhenan be promoted but Shui Miao's status would not be promoted, and he would become a living target in the harem?
